The sixth year of Wude, 623.

By counting on his fingers, Li Chao has been here for three years.

This year, Li Chao was twenty-five years old, lived in modern times for twenty-two years, and then lived in the Tang Dynasty for three years. Twenty-five years old is not the complete right way. After all, he was born in 1994, and now it is 623 AD. If you really count, his actual age should be minus 1,371 years old.

It's an interesting statement that he was 1371 years old. Thinking of this, Li Chao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Whether he is twenty-five years old or over one thousand years old, Li Chao now has a place in the ranking of wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty. In terms of money, Li Chao probably has no problem in being in the top ten.

Now he doesn't do anything every day. He will count money while lying at home, and his hands will cramp when counting money, and he can't count them at all. In terms of fields, Li Chao has a sugarcane garden in Lingnan, a pasture in Longyou, a farm in Shuofang, a farmland in Guanzhong, Hebei, Henan, Shannan, Hexi, Hedong and Huainan, Jiangnan and other roads. The Li family has a large amount of land. The specific number has been more than a thousand hectares and has more than 100,000 acres of land.

However, although there are thousands of hectares of land, the land does not make much money for Li Chao. In terms of land, Li Chao actually spends more money than earns. The purchase of land costs a lot at one time, but the annual income is not much, especially for landlords like Li Chao who refuse to be mean, they make even less.

He also had to spend money to buy cattle and rent it to the tenants, dig wells and repair canals by himself, and build farm tools, water wheels and windmills by himself, etc. He really calculated that the income from the land over the past three years was less than the dime he spent on purchasing and operating the land.

Land is not profitable, but this is high-quality real estate, which is guaranteed to maintain the value of assets.

What Li Chao really makes money are those industrial and commercial industries, the sugar processing plants in Lingnan, the merchant fleets on the sea, as well as the ranch in Longyou, the salt farm in Shuofang, the mines in Hetao, the Qinling Mountains, and caravans, business banks, and various handicraft workshops. Through these, Li Chaori makes money. If he owns money trees and treasure pots, he will become very rich.

With more than a thousand years of experience, Li Chao lived a very good life in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chao wants money, money, status, and status, but he thinks that the sages said very well, that if you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world. Since God has brought him here and has the current power and status, he can't lie at home all day long and wait for death.

People should always pursue something.

If you have enough food and clothing, you will have a house, a house, a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter, you will always have to reflect your own value.

I remember a later generation of the God of Wealth said, "When I make 100,000 million yuan a year, I am very happy. Because that money is mine, it can greatly improve my life and satisfy my dreams. I live a happy life. But when I make 100 million yuan a year, I am no longer happy before.

Because those billions and billions do not really belong to me, it is just that everyone puts the money in my hands to help them keep it. I have to help everyone keep the money.

Li Chao didn't understand these words before, but now he understands them.

The sages interpreted this sentence a long time ago.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you are just a small person, then it is enough to manage yourself. Be stronger in ability, then take good care of your family and friends. When you have greater ability, you will have greater social responsibilities.

No matter how much money is, it is just a number for Li Chao. He can't eat a bucket of food at a meal, let alone a thousand stones of grain. At night, he can only sleep in one bed, and it is impossible for him to sleep in the Guangsha.

It is impossible for him to buy land and build land and lend money when he makes money, and then collect rent and interest, and then buy land and lend money. If his family has money, he will bury the pigpen underground.

There is no meaning in life like that, it is just a slave to money, not a master.

So although Li Chao would also buy land, he would not maliciously merge and take advantage of the plunder. His land was developed more like the original wastelands like the Huadiao in Guanzhong, and the original border wastelands in Longyouhe Tower were reclaimed. He also lends money, but it was not usury, but pawn shops and money houses, which was a more helpful way to the people.

Li Chao prefers mutual benefit, and gives others the help they need, while also gaining some real benefits instead of fraud, robbing, and exploiting.

Li Chao's style of conduct is incompatible with many landlords and powerful people.

It even looks a little weird.

Other landlords and powerful people actually like the Year of the Great Disaster. Although the Year of the Great Disaster will cause a poor harvest, the landlords will never have to worry about having no food. Their granaries are always full at any time and they have enough ability to resist disasters.

And ordinary people do not have this ability.

Once a major disaster occurs, it will often go bankrupt.

Self-cultivated farmers may have to sell land, and in order to survive, the poor even have to sell their children and their daughters to sell themselves.

The year of disaster is a good time for landlords and powerful people to harvest. They take advantage of the year of disaster to sell grain, borrow money, and then buy land at a low price, and even take the bankrupt people who have lost land and cannot repay their debts as their own slaves and tenants.

After a major disaster, their debts were increased, their fields were increased, and there were more slaves and tenants in their manors.

This is how the landlords and powerful people have so many lands and so many slaves and tenants come from.

In every major disaster, the strength of the landlords and powerful people has increased a little, and the loss of natural disasters has long been made up. How could this be like Li Chao? In the year of natural disasters, low interest loans to tenants, and even when natural disasters occur, the loans in pawnshops and money houses can be extended and interest-free. Isn’t this stupid?

So I tried my best to help the victims. It’s been the disaster year. Whoever sells land and land, whoever sells children and daughters, whoever is willing to sell themselves!

Should the landlord plant the landlords themselves?

In fact, Li Chao also lacks people, and his workshop has to rely on a large number of young boys and girls apprentices.

His mine salt farms can only rely on seasonal migrant workers. If there are enough slaves, workers, Li Chao's mine salt farm workshops, etc., the benefits will definitely be greater, and it will not be a problem to turn them a few times.

However, Li Chao did not regret his choice, and did not do anything.

In just a few days, the emperor was about to arrive in Xiangyang.

Li Shimin arrived about half a month earlier than the scheduled time. The Turkic civil strife and the two Lis showed their swords in the north once. The drought became more and more serious, and the food in Guanzhong became more and more tense.

The emperor sent someone to pass an order to Li Chao, and he would arrive in Xiangyang about seven days in advance and would bring the court ministers first.

Time was already very tight, but now it's half a month ahead of schedule, which makes Li Chao more and more rushed.
