After looking at everyone, Li Ming nodded, and then said, "I do know a little. Let's put it this way, do you know the grain output of the Han Dynasty this year?"

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads, "But it must be not very high, although... Chief Huo is indeed a bit magical, allowing wild lands like Yumen Pass to become oasis and grow food, but this place itself is the Gobi Desert, and the land is very barren."

"Maybe, but what I know is that the grain output of Dahan last year was greater than the average yield of one acre of land in our Tang Dynasty, and the area of ​​their acre of land was one third smaller than that of our acre of land." Li Ming said with a smile.

"This... is impossible?" Everyone was stunned. When the area is small, the output will be higher? Wouldn't that mean the area is the same, the output will be higher?!

"I won't lie to you, so it is said that after this year, the grain output of the entire Han Dynasty will explode sharply, which means that the price of grain this year will not be too high, and the grain output of the land here in Changlezhou itself is not high. But what I know is that the leader wants Changlezhou to plant a brand new crop, a cash crop." Li Ming said.

"I dare to ask the head of Li, what is this economic crop?" The other heads of the family were a little unresolved for a while. In fact, they have a cultural level, but if you say how high it is, it won't work.

These families can have several sets of books as inheritance, which are already considered powerful families, and they really don’t have many books.

"As the name suggests, cash crops are grown mainly for money, not like grain, but mainly for food. Although the land here is not suitable for growing grain, it is said to be very suitable for growing cash crops."

"These crops are sold for money. When the food price cannot be increased, if you plant one acre of such a cash crop, you can buy two acres of grain. Do you think you can plant it?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"Is there such a crop? If the food prices are stable, then of course we are willing to grow new crops." Everyone said one after another.

"So, do you understand? No matter what you plant, you will still hire people in the end." Li Ming said with a smile.

After saying this, everyone instantly expressed their understanding. If this is the case, then they would probably have to pay for hiring people. For example, if the tenant planted your field and planted 80% of the grain per acre of land, if it was 10 yuan, then they would probably have to give the other party a higher price than 10 yuan.

Or just hire them for a long time according to the month, and work every day and pay them every month.

They all hesitate in this way. The problem is that no matter whether they hesitate or not, they cannot resist. Now that they know the news in advance, they are mentally prepared.

"Everyone, I won't say much extra words. I, Li, will not keep too much land. I have no choice but to make any difficulties for you. But you are not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, there is still time before the beginning of spring next year, so you can wait until the beginning of spring." Li Ming smiled and made a summary statement.

Although Li Ming had never met Huo Gang, he could probably understand what kind of person Chief Huo was from the things that Chief Huo had done. Chief Huo was a person who attached great importance to these ordinary people. So as long as the ordinary people benefited, how did they choose? In fact, Chief Huo didn't care.

All these regulations can be seen, and they are beneficial to ordinary people. As long as ordinary people have income and the great man can stabilize the food price, then there is no need to think that all people will live a very good life!

He didn't say something to these people, that is, the grain output of the Han Dynasty. In fact, Li Ming knew a little. Although the Han Dynasty kept the grain output secret, after all, he harvested so much grain. Some experienced farmers could tell how much of the grain output was just a glance.

Having said that, if the great men don’t have much food, would they dare to support these ordinary people like this?

There was no news from Li Ming, and these gentry gentry had to go back, but they had some news, for example, no matter what, there would always be news in the beginning of spring next year.

But they know one thing, that is, they cannot resist these rules, and they can only think about how to get more benefits under such rules.

In fact, Huo Gang knew a little bit about the storm of Changlezhou. Don’t think that the police and construction teams of the police department he sent were all for a good meal. Maybe they did have work to do, but there were some people in them.

Moreover, Huo Gang said that he treats everyone equally, not only to build kangs for these ordinary people for free, but even these gentry families also build kangs for free. Of course, the construction is free. If you want to use better materials, you have to pay for the materials yourself.

In this process, they are actually very likely to get a lot of news. Not to mention other things, these gentry’s actual character, the strength of these small families, and the prestige of the local people. After gaining the trust of nearby villagers, these construction teams can easily get out of their conversation.

In the past month, it can be said that Huo Gang's Police Department and Construction Team have obtained the entire Changlezhou at once, so the trust of the people at the bottom is not only trust, but also contains a large amount of important information about the entire Changlezhou, which can be said to be the upper and middle classes!

Some of this information may not be useful, but some of it are certainly useful.

Information is very important in any era.

In this way, as time goes by, winter finally comes. As the temperature at night begins to drop below zero, these repaired villages also feel the benefits of the kang. They don’t have to spend too much experience, and even just make a meal at night, the kang will be very hot, at least they are not so uncomfortable when they sleep.

After someone goes to bed, it will be very warm all night.

With the arrival of winter, activities in the entire Western Regions have also slowed down. In this era, winter is not like marching and fighting, even ordinary people will not go far away if they don’t go far away.

Because in winter, especially in the Western Regions, there is too much possibility of accidents.

However, these are for others and for the big man, it is time for government units to start working.

In the past few months, various departments have begun to fill in their own frameworks, and many departments have even tried to start operating.

At this moment, the merchants located at Yumen Pass were finally excited, and the big man had shipped the goods. To be precise, they had already placed the order, but this was the first time they had seen this goods. This time, there were two parts for merchants, the first part was merchants from some other countries in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and even some merchants from Dashi.

The other part is targeting the merchants in Changlezhou. Many of these merchants are actually those who were discussing with Li Ming before.

Discussion is discussed, but the business still needs to be done, especially the wool business of course.

Because it was winter, they all knew that the wool business would start soon.

The Commerce Bureau Building is a building located in Yumen Pass, but at this moment, the largest hall in the middle of the building is already full of people. Today, there are hundreds of owners of various business banks who come here.

However, some of them are actually here to join in the fun today. The reason why they join in the fun is to see how it is going, because it seems that they are all coming here later.

"No. 001, Italian Business." When the time came, a man with a strong temper shouted out in a voice.

"At." The shopkeeper of the Italian business who was sitting in the first row immediately stood up.

"Ali Trading Company, third-class wool cloth is 20 points per piece, won 2,000, second-class wool cloth is 50 points per piece, won 1,000, first-class wool cloth is 1 yuan per piece, won 500! First-class fine linen cloth is 80 text per piece, won 1,000!" The man took out a list and shouted loudly.

As the sound of reading came out, a hint of ecstasy surged on the face of the boss of the Italian business. He quickly bowed to the man and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"This shopkeeper, this is your bill of lading. Please take the bill of lading to the No. 3 window of Dahan Central Money House next door to pay the fee, and then bring the payment receipt and stamped bill of lading to Warehouse No. 3 to collect the goods." The man handed over a document in his hand.

"I understand, thank you." The shopkeeper quickly took the documents in the other party's hand, then greeted the people around him, turned around and left quickly.

They had already paid deposits for these goods in advance, but the goods had just been produced. Because the total amount of goods was limited, they didn't know how much they would win, so they gave priority to low-end products.

Because they all know that for ordinary people, this low-end product is the most critical, and it is impossible for them to afford it if they get a higher-end product.

But I didn't expect that they could get so many quantities, but I just didn't know whether the other party produced enough of these cloths or distributed enough of them.

These thoughts happened to his mind, and the boss of the Italian business quickly didn't care about these things. He paid the fees in order and then picked up the goods. When he received the goods, he still checked the cloths.
