Li Mingxun listened carefully to Zheng Yuechen. Although he is now an emperor, he is not unfamiliar with the businessmen's style. Merchants are pursuing profits and without profit, it is impossible for them to go to the desolate grassland to invest. The higher the profit, the more huge the risks are. For merchants, the best deal is to make a profit without losing money.

Zheng Yuechen's words eventually evolved into a system of purchasing and reserved grains in various shopping malls, and it was a long-term system. According to this system, the empire established dozens of reserved grain storage points from east to west, and formulated a reserved grain purchase system ranging from seven to fifteen years.

Taking the two war storage residences in Qiqihar as an example, every year, 300,000 stones of grain, rice and feed will be purchased for seven years. It can also sign a long-term supply agreement with the main Shangtun farms. The purchase price of one stone of wheat is as high as two taels of silver, which is three times the price of staple food in major cities such as Beijing, Shenjing, and Nanjing. However, it is obvious that transporting wheat from wheat producing areas such as Liaoning and Haixi is a loss. If wheat can be grown from the local area, the profit will be several times.

"This is profit, and the second is human." Zheng Yuechen saw that Li Mingxun wrote and painted, and seemed to be very helpful to what he said, and he became bolder. He continued: "No one can be allowed to settle the wasteland in Shangtun. In the empire, this slave is the property of the state and ordinary merchants cannot easily use it. If we immigrate from the densely populated mainland, even if it is tempting for profit, few people will use it. The employment of people is mainly focused on Shangtun. Caominjia's farm is originally a must-pass place for transportation between north and south, with a large population. When the settlement of Haixi was relied on the Central Plains, immigrants in Jiangnan and North Korea had just arrived, and there was no food and clothing. Liaoning was revived, and a large number of immigrants moved in. It was precisely because of these people that there were farm workers.

In fact, new immigrants are most likely to be attracted by farms. After all, they have no land and no property, and are afraid of having no food and clothing. Even if the local government office has some care, they will only take care of them for a while. They are always afraid that they will not be able to grow food in the ground after eating the whole meal."

For the empire, the most undeficient one is not people. The internal liquidation has not yet ended. After a detailed investigation, there will be as many people as you want to migrate. The empire has just annexed North Korea, where millions of people are, and even if one-fifth of them can solve most of the problems.

"You just said that people are okay, can anyone do it? I have read reports from various appeasement zones over the days. The officials in charge of all parties believe that the relatives of the criminals do not know how to cultivate, and it is difficult to use for cultivation, and instead consume food." Li Mingxun asked. After all, the main method of immigration in the empire is exile, and most of the exiled people are officials and nobles. Obviously, these people do not understand agriculture and sericulture.

Zheng Yuechen thought about it and did not encounter such a situation in his farm in Jeju and Haixi, but there were several new farms in Liaoning. So he said: "Report to your Majesty, this is indeed a problem, but it is not a big problem for the farm.

Those who place exiled people in various places give cattle land to be cultivated and let them settle. Naturally, those people cannot do it, because farming requires farming, land preparation, seed selection, planting, weeding, insect removal, harvesting and drying, and storing grain. It involves all aspects and is also a great question and cannot be learned easily. But farms are completely different. Farms are divided into division of labor and cooperation, and there is no need to learn many agricultural skills. As long as one or two skills are mastered, you can support yourself. Moreover, farms are different from rural villages and communities. Men farming in the countryside have no relationship with outsiders, and farm people can be closely connected, so people need to take care of them. The good varieties and machinery required by the farm are not something that ordinary farmers can master. However, those officials who are violating are able to write and calculate, but they learn faster."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly, thinking that it was true that there was division of labor and cooperation in the farm, and even if he knew nothing, he could only learn one or two techniques to get started. It was like a farmer who had to do everything by himself from farming to garrisoning the valley. If something went wrong, it would be a waste. This was also the benefit of division of labor and cooperation.

Zheng Yuechen said again: "Your Majesty just mentioned people. In fact, this person is different from others. The farm often has thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres of land. All kinds of animal power and machinery are used to replace people's farming, otherwise they will lose money. However, ordinary farmers may not really adapt. They are used to using cows, but they are not used to using horses, and they cannot serve the machinery of various agricultural machinery factories. These require special people to learn. Without these technicians, the farm cannot be done."

"You are right, skilled immigration and talent immigration." Li Mingxun praised. This statement came from Zheng Yuechen's mouth, which was more reasonable in line with Wu Liji's claim.

Zheng Yuechen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's exactly what it means."

Li Mingxun quickly wrote down these things and asked again: "What else is there? You'll tell me all of them."

Zheng Yuechen looked at Li Mingxun carefully, but in the end he didn't dare to hide it, saying, "The rest are some minor things, but they must be done, that is to clear the relationship."

"Oh, so, Li Decan has helped you in those farms?" Li Mingxun asked.

Zheng Yuechen waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! In the early years, Caomin did send his son to Lord Li's house, but the promissory notes and gifts he gave were not accepted. Later, Lord Li was also annoyed, so he took some money, bought shares, and paid some dividends every year. However, Caomin checked the imperial laws and these were all legal."

"Of course, I will not blame Li Decan for this." Li Mingxun smiled. There are no officials in this era that cannot do business. In fact, all officials are doing business.

Zheng Yuechen breathed a little relieved and said, "But Caomin is still thanks to Lord Li. In the early years, because he helped Lord Li a little, Lord Li was given a high position, Caomin tried to make him invest, which would help him to get a big shot. In recent years, Caomin has really made a big fox and a tiger's power. He has been resident in the local area and has to deal with some things with Lord Li's name. It is very useful. But... Your Majesty, there is an old Chinese saying that county officials are not as good as managing now, and this unblocking relationship is not that simple."

Li Mingxun was intrigued and even asked what links he needed to open. He knew very well that as long as the empire was determined to carry out shopping and make it a profitable business, then the ones who could participate must be nobles and officials. The family of officials themselves are tigers and do not need to pretend to be the prestige of others. However, the county magistrate is better to take charge of it now. However, it is said that the emperor is far away in one sentence.

Zheng Yuechen said: "Caomin takes the farm in Haixi and Yongning as an example. There are Huhan and Han people living together. There are imperial and vassal tribes around the farm. These tribes are all local snakes. If they don't provoke them, they will also cause trouble. When Caomin first set up a farm, wheat seedlings just grew, and the cattle and sheep of the vassal tribes came to eat. During the busy farming period, they also hindered and raised prices, not to mention thieves on weekdays. It can be said that there were countless troubles. Later, Caomin had no choice but to divide the shares of the farm to the tribe's head, which solved the problem.

After dividing the shares, not only did it go away, but there were many benefits. In the early spring, there were tribal herders hunters who killed the surrounding yellow sheep and wild animals. When the autumn harvest was over, they hunted wild boars and rabbits to avoid harming the food. Whenever there were strong people coming to cause trouble, they were more diligent than local sheriffs. They also came to help with their idle work during the busy farming period. Both sides could get benefits and there were fewer problems."

Obviously, Zheng Yuechen had a clever mouth, and he also knew how to make some illegal things obscure. Li Mingxun didn't care about these things. He just wanted to understand what the farmers needed to go to Shangtun, the Pacification Zone, and how to solve the problem.

The two of them asked and answered each other. It was already noon after the end. Li Mingxun kept Zheng Yuechen for lunch. Zheng Yuechen really didn't dare. He came in a hurry and didn't know the rules of the new dynasty. He said a lot more today, and was worried that lunch would cause trouble. He had to say that the Koreans only had two meals a day, and there was no lunch, so they escaped. Li Mingxun rewarded Zheng Yuechen with a box of snacks, so he asked him to satisfy his hunger on the way home.

When Zheng Yuechen left the palace, Jin Bing came up to meet him. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he knew that he had been waiting for a long time. Zheng Yuechen asked, "Master Jin, why are you here? Can you come to meet the saint?"

"Oh, I am not that lucky. Isn't this waiting for you? What happened? Why did you hurry to summon you into the palace? Did I have something wrong with me?" Jin Tai asked.

Zheng Yuechen waved his hand: "It's not all about everyone's business, it's the Holy Emperor who is asking for advice on some business matters. Haha, it's a sin to make you worried."

Jin Bin was relieved and saw Zheng Yuechen holding a box and asked, "What is this? Is the snack in the palace? Let me taste it. I have been hungry for a long time."

"Don't, you want to find a place to buy it. This is given by the Holy Emperor. I will still offer it when I go back." Zheng Yuechen hurriedly put it in his arms.

Zheng Yuechen returned to his residence in the capital happily and told his wife about the palace. His wife was also happy, but also reminded Zheng Yuechen that this snack could be kept short of time and it would be bad to worship it. Zheng Yuechen insisted on offering it. At night, the attendant in the palace went to Zheng Yuechen's house and washed the clothes that Zheng Yuechen changed, and sent it to him. When Mrs. Zheng asked why she changed clothes, the attendant only said that he accidentally sprinkled tea on Zheng Yuechen and took the initiative to take responsibility. After hearing this, Zheng Yuechen sighed in his heart, praising the emperor for being meticulous and the people in the palace for their proper work.

Zalantun Banner.

Park Tae was digging hard in the dark cave, putting the dug soil in a basket, and shouting: "Yes!"

The person at the wellhead pulled the basket up. Park Tae was sitting on the ground, panting, pulling out the water bag plug, and taking a big sip. It was hot and the ground was not ventilated. Park Tae was really uncomfortable, but he still had to do his job. He was digging a cellar, which was brought by immigrants from Shandong. It was used to keep food fresh. This cellar was like digging a well, digging three or four meters downwards, and then digging tunnels to all sides to expand to store food in winter.

Onions, ginger and vegetables can be stored in the cellar. More importantly, sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are the main food for the people of Zalatun Banner, can also be stored in the cellar for a long time. The cellar dug by Pu Tai is their common use. In winter, what everyone eats must be stored in this cellar and another cellar.

It’s not that Park is very active, and digging cellars is really a task assignment. Each household has to go to work to repair water conservancy, burn wasteland and reclaim land, and move bricks and build houses to prepare for accepting new immigrants. Every laborer has a job, so Park naturally cannot be idle.

"In-laws, we're still busy, we're all off work." The voice of Quanye came from the cellar entrance, but there was no basket to put it down again. This was obviously for Park Tai to go up.

Park Tae was tied up by a rope and pulled up. He was covered in mud and breathing fresh air. He went to wash it. There was a special small room in the large yard for bathing. When Park Tae returned to his house, he saw his wife lit an oil lamp and holding a few pieces of cloth on the table. This was rare. His wife was very stingy and didn't come to outsiders, so how could she lit the lamp?

"What are you doing? Don't you cook while it's not dark?" Park asked.

Mrs. Park's wife opened the basin covered with the food and said, "It's all done, you can eat it, we're all done."

Park Tae has been working all day and is very tired. He eats it up, but his wife still looks the same and asks, "What are you doing? You care so much about this cloth?"

"Hey, isn't this going to prepare a dowry for the big girl? You don't understand, I'm still concerned about it." Mrs. Park's wife said.

Park Tae-sighed: "Why, you are willing to marry, don't control others?"

Although Park Tae-wo has always been called a relative of the family, the two families have only been engaged and not married yet. Park Tae-woman has always said that he is not panicked, but he actually wants to take control of the power and property to see what benefits can he get when settling down. Park Tae-woman remembers that his wife insisted on talking after the New Year, why did she get busy today?

After putting down the cloth, Mrs. Park's wife said, "You don't know yet. The eldest son of the power businessman is going to Qiqihar to go to school. He goes before the snow after autumn and doesn't come back for the New Year. If you don't do it now, you have to wait for next year or even the next year. Think about it, that boy went to school and went to towns. He is used to seeing good girls, and can he still think about our big girl? Don't be in a year or two, if someone has another woman, our big girl can't get married."

"No, when will Qiqihar have a school? That's not what Quanye said." Park Tae shook his head. He still remembered Quanye's plan, asking his son to marry his daughter first, give birth to a child, then go to Shenyang or Vladivostok to go to school. After being a technician, he saw where to settle down and take his wife and children over. Park Tae heard from Quanye that only schools that can learn agricultural machinery repair technology are available in the provincial capital, so why does Qiqihar also have it?

"I don't know this..." Mrs. Park's wife picked up the cloth again and muttered: "You said, how much do you want Quanye to give?"
