The weather in Baekje in November is particularly cold, and many places are already frozen.
This era is no different than the industrial era. The temperature is at least five to ten degrees lower. The further you go to the north, the more obvious it becomes.
Baekje is a peninsula with a biting sea breeze and a cold wave coming from the north. It can be said that the natural conditions are very harsh.
That is to say, a few cities can still provide some protection from the wind and snow, but the rest of the villages, towns and tribes are living in misery.
At this time of year, Li Ruxuan will be assigned to handle affairs in Baekje.
And in the spring and summer, he is usually transferred back to Zhongjing City in Shiwei to work remotely.
The Shiwei people are still very smart. When the Baekje people move smoothly, they pull Li Ruxuan back to prevent him from making any small moves.
In autumn and winter, it is cold and snowy, making it difficult for Baekje people to survive, and rebellion is impossible.
At this time, it would be best to send Li Ruxuan back to Baekje and let him be responsible for disaster relief and pacifying the people.
The two largest cities in Baekje are relatively close to each other, namely Pyeongseong and Seoul.
The population of both cities exceeds 100,000. Dakang is a slightly larger county town, but here it is the largest city.
Not to mention Baekje, the population of Zhongjing City in Shiwei was only 300,000.
So in Shiwei¡¯s view, Baekje¡¯s city population is not large.
But at this moment, Li Ruxuan was not in the warm city government office, but running around the surrounding countryside with a group of his followers.
At night, even Li Ruxuan could only live in a dilapidated thatched house and eat unpalatable rice bran porridge.
The only thing that can reflect his treatment as a minister of Baekje is probably the basin of hot foot-washing water he is soaking in now.
He is already fifty-three years old this year. Ordinary people at this age are already in their prime.
¡°But Li Ruxuan has a strong will, making it absolutely impossible for him to retire.
Because he still has a great dream in his heart and looks forward to restoring the country in his own hands!
Recover the Baekje Kingdom that was destroyed by Shiwei a hundred years ago! !
¡°Besides, Li Ruxuan also understands that if he doesn¡¯t keep working hard, he may not have time.
After so many years of rule, Baekje has long surrendered to the power of Shiwei. Many young people are proud to join Shiwei's vassal army - because in this way they can obtain many privileges and have sufficient resources. The military pay was taken home.
Seeing that there are more and more young people like this, Li Ruxuan applauds them on the surface and encourages them to "serve the country" on various occasions, but privately he is full of melancholy.
If things continue like this, in a few decades, Baekje will not be completely assimilated!
It was also that he didn¡¯t know Liu Mingqi at that time, otherwise Liu Mingqi would have told him firmly, ¡°No way!!¡±
If you look at another world, Baekje was directly colonized by Japan for more than 35 years. Japanese people are all over the streets and alleys of Baekje. All officials are Japanese, and they also promote Japanese characters and culture But once Japan falls, Baekje can regain its national character in an instant.
Of course, you can¡¯t say that Li Ruxuan¡¯s worries are unreasonable.
In his era, from the perspective of this era, such a situation is absolutely shocking, and he does not dare to relax at all.
So he used all the time and opportunities to slowly but surely cultivate his confidants and promote Baekje's resistance cause.
In order to train these people, he did not hesitate to let his eldest son become a pirate, and the bloody money he earned was spent on the cause of resisting and restoring the country.
After twenty or thirty years of observation, Li Ruxuan sadly discovered that his eldest son Li Song and his second son Li Yu were not the founders of the country, but at most they were the ones who maintained the country's success.
Therefore, if they do not actively resist Shiwei and drive the Shiwei bandits out of Baekje, their generation will have no chance at all.
If you can conquer the country by yourself and let them guard it, maybe it will be okay.
With this attitude that he had no way out and could only move forward desperately, Li Ruxuan worked hard for decades and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
All his thoughts were focused on how to restore the country.
Oh, and how to expand the Li family.
The current population of the Li family exceeds 500, and there are many outstanding children among them. Because everyone is a family, and Shi Wei's law states that if one person commits treason, the whole family will be executed, so after Li Ruxuan's identification and pickpoint. "Li Ruxuan sighed and said with a smile: "We gave one million shi of food, but only gave 100,000 shi, and we still have to spend money to buy the remaining 900,000 shi! "
"You are a bit picky." Li Cheng responded with a smile: "Nine hundred thousand shi of grain is only sold for ten cents per catty, and the freight is not included. Where can I find this business? His Highness King De is losing money. !¡±
"Liu Mingqi is no longer a prince. He has been demoted again. He is just a prince." Li Ruxuan said and took a pair of socks to wear.
"Haha, uncle, you are joking with me now. With your foresight, don't you know that this is only temporary?" Li Cheng smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, King De, just hit the limelight. How could he be wronged for his great achievements, as well as the love of the Empress Dowager Dakang and the Emperor for him? Isn¡¯t it possible that our Su Ji will become his concubine?¡±
"hehe!"
Li Ruxuan just felt embarrassed, but he didn't really complain.
Of course he understands that these one million stones of food are now a timely help!
One million shi is equivalent to 120 million kilograms of grain. If used properly, it can provide one million families with life-saving grain for the winter.
They don¡¯t need to be full, just one meal a day, and they won¡¯t die.
However, Baekje does not have one million registered households. In this case, he can save more food for his soldiers of the Restoration Army.
Only when they are full and have strong bodies can they train better and work hard for the restoration of the country!
"Su Ji has really made a great contribution this time. This betrothal gift is very valuable!" Li Cheng added, "As for soap, sugar, floral essential oils, White Rabbit toffee and other treasures, they are all very popular in Shiwei. The hard currency! The price given by Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion is also very cheap, which is their local selling price! As long as we sell these things, it will be another huge income!"
"Not urgent!"
Li Ruxuan is now completely calm.
He put on his shoes and walked around the room several times before saying, "Bring these things back and hide them first! Wait until next summer!"
"Ah? Why?" Li Cheng was stunned, "Shouldn't we take advantage of this moment to buy more food and other things to tide over the difficulties?"
"There is no need to worry about food, as long as most people can survive! Which year will we not be short of food?" Li Ruxuan waved his hand and said: "This time is different. Liu Mingqi told me that Dakang will definitely interrupt trade with Shiwei!
If we wait another half year, until summer, all the inventory in Shiwei will be used up, and then there will be a period of hunger, and then we will sell these things, we will definitely be able to sell them for double, triple or even higher prices. !
By that time, we can buy whatever we want! Shiwei's horses, grain, mountain specialties, etc We all want these good things! And then sell it to Dakang. Wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money in one go? "
Li Cheng was stunned when he heard his uncle¡¯s plan!
"Awesome! Uncle, you are so awesome!!" Li Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "With a plan like yours, our Baekje will be able to grow and develop rapidly in just three to five years! The effect is better than before ten years!"
"right!"
Li Ruxuan was impassioned and exuded a strong momentum, "We will take advantage of Liu Mingqi's east wind and reverse the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop!"
After a pause, he said firmly: "Chengyu, the restoration of the country is right in front of us!!"
