"Your Highness, and my old friend."

Li Junxian's face darkened.

As soon as Gao Yuan heard the word His Highness, he knew that today's problem would not be too small, but this Highness is only nine years old, how could he solve so many things.

He is worried now that he is not human inside and out.

Li Ke waved his hand: "Let them come, half an hour is enough?"

"It's fine if the head of the family comes, and the others don't."

Li Junxian took Gao Yuan with him, which gave Gao Yuan a little bit of confidence. Seeing that Gao Yuan was walking unsteadily, Li Junxian snorted softly: "Look at you, you are so scared, what kind of Tang official?"

"Tell you, what His Highness wants to solve is not them, but the problem of how you should be an official when they are here."

Li Junxian couldn't say too much, Gao Yuan looked at Li Junxian, sighed, and walked into the courtyard of a family beside him.

Half an hour later, Li Ke saw three people, two old people and one middle-aged man.

The two old men looked at Li Ke and bowed to salute, while the middle-aged man looked a bit like Wei Zheng.

"Old Qin Ming has met His Highness."

Changsun Wuji's distant relative, surnamed Qin, matched.

"Old Qin Yi."

"Little Wei Zhong."

It seems that this place is indeed controlled by a wealthy family.

Changsun Wuji's family members, Wei Zheng's cousins, hey, it's strange to say, for a person like Wei Zheng, can someone pretend to be a tiger?
"Well, you are all good citizens of Datang!"

Wei Zhong was very puzzled, and looked up at Li Ke: "Your Highness, how is my cousin doing?"

Li Ke smiled: "Wei Zheng, it's not bad."

Wei Zhong let out a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, my cousin has a stubborn personality, and he might offend people in court."

Qin Ming at the side stroked his beard: "Wei Zhong, His Highness has arrived in Fenhe today, so it's better not to reminisce about the old days."

The two old men and the middle-aged Wei Zhong are not fuel-efficient lamps. After Daji poured tea for Li Ke, Li Ke took a sip and then said slowly: "Next year, there are some things to do here. You are now at home. How many sharecroppers are there?"

Wei Zhong reacted in an instant: "Your Highness, what does this mean? There are ten tenant farmers in my family."

"Your Highness, there are fifty people in the old man's family and his brother's."

So much, two or three acres of land per person, more people, more arable land for direct use, Li Ke thought.

"Starting next year, if their wages can offset the silver taels of selling themselves, let them be free."

After Li Ke finished speaking, Wei Zhong was the first to understand. Wei Zheng and his cousin must have written a letter before, and this guy saw Li Ke's extraordinary at a glance.

"Your Highness, Wei Zhong will dismiss them tomorrow. In the spring of next year, they will be hired normally. As for the money they sold themselves, they will return it to me after they have saved up."

Nonsense, the prince came here to say this, isn't it just a guarantee, it shows that His Highness has great value for these people, what will the tenants do?Naturally, it is farming. Although Wei Zhong's family still has dozens of acres of land, it will be fine to hire people to do it. There is no shortage of manpower around the Fen River.

As for the tenant farmers, they are all hard-working people. Isn't it good for them to open up wasteland?

Thinking of his cousin mentioning the wasteland before, Wei Zhong immediately understood.

Qin Ming and Qin Yi looked at each other, showing doubts and incomprehension.

"Your Highness, these tenant farmers owe too much money, it is true that they cannot be let go at will."

"Yes, His Highness doesn't know something. They are all troublemakers. If we let them go, I'm afraid we will lose a penny."

Li Junxian suddenly became angry, still talking hard, still talking hard.

Who are you with? Your Highness has already said that you don't even want to take this little loss?
Li Ke smiled: "It's simple, if they want to run away, they can report to the police."

Qin Ming and Qin Yi glanced at Gao Yuan, sighed, and murmured in their hearts, is it useful to report to the official?
Might as well handle it yourself.

Gao Yuan stood up at this time: "Don't worry, both of you, if they escape, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Qin Ming squinted his eyes: "Magistrate Gao, it's not that we two brothers talk too much, this place of Fenhe is very remote, if they go far away, wouldn't it take some trouble, why bother."

"It's better to let them pay back the money slowly."

Gao Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, the meaning of these words was when to pay off and when to leave.

Li Ke smiled. Are distant relatives like Changsun Wuji such thieves?It's still bullying. If you want to pay back the money, when will it end? Next year, potatoes will be promoted, and farmers will grow them by themselves, and they will soon be out of the control of these nobles. Isn't that bad?

Of course!But these people don't want to.

Li Ke said lightly at this time: "Their role lies in other places. This matter has been decided, and we will talk about it later."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he got up slowly, and he had to go to Xishan to have a look.

At this time Gao Yuan suddenly said: "Your Highness, since you are here, I will show you the wasteland. I also know that those wastelands are not good, but I always feel that things must have their uses. I have little knowledge. Take a look at your highness." Is there any good way here?"

Li Ke was taken aback, this was a good choice.

Walking on the fields, Li Ke felt a little uncomfortable. There are many hills in this place, and the more you go north, the more plains. As far as you can see, you can see the depression in winter. Is such a place a good place?
Not really!
But Li Ke suddenly noticed something, and then smiled.

Daji saw Li Ke smiling, and immediately realized that there might be something Li Ke needs here.

"Master, what do you need me to do?"

Li Ke smiled: "There is a huge rock over there. Under the rock is what I want. You can take it the size of your fist and let me have a look."

Li Ke released his consciousness and found that the surrounding underground seemed to be a strange thing. No wonder there was no grass on the surface, and it was obviously a wasteland, but it was so puzzling.

That's it!

Daji flew over quickly, at this moment, Gao Yuan was dumbfounded.

He knew that there were some weird people in the court, who were like gods, but he never expected that this thing would happen in front of him.

Li Junxian smiled: "Don't make a fuss, now do you understand why His Highness asked you to do that?"

"The subordinate understands!"

Gao Yuan's eyes were full of tears, His Highness has already considered the future for himself, what virtue can he do!

Daji came back in a blink of an eye, the huge stone was already torn apart, and Daji was holding a dark object in his hand.

Gao Yuan showed doubts: "Your Highness, we don't use this thing on weekdays. It's also because of this thing that we have a lot of wasteland outside the Fen River. Even if we grow food, it can't grow well."

Li Ke looked up and looked at Gao Yuan: "I'm afraid there will be no need to grow food here in the future."

If the coal mine is found, is it still necessary to grow food?
Li Junxian also smiled along with Li Ke, Gao Yuan looked surprised for a while.
