Chapter 140: Long Live My Emperor

Is this sentence true, it is obvious that the emperor has no confidence in our Chen family.

Chen Zhengtai was immediately unconvinced.

Is this looking down on our Chen family?

So he immediately said: "Don't believe in the teacher? If the teacher doesn't believe it, come and come, go and call Chen Zhengxian, and that ...... What's that, Chen Zhengliang, you come, you come ......"

In the distance, several naked craftsmen shivered.

Scared to pee.

The Chen family sent hundreds of clansmen to the mine, and arranged things for these clansmen, some of them were mining and some of them were smelting here.

For example, Chen Zhengliang, Chen Zhengliang is also Chen Zhengtai's brother, and he was sent to smelt, and his duty is to manage this blast furnace.

Don't look at this guy as a boy in the past, he was not happy when he came, and even made trouble for a few days, but after being hungry for two days, the whole person was honest, and he did whatever he wanted, after all, he was a member of the Chen clan and had read books.

The person who has read the book is different from the ordinary craftsman, because he is knowledgeable, so he learns things quickly, and if there is a problem with the blast furnace or other things, he can gradually repair it.

Ordinary people only know step-by-step workmanship, but Chen Zhengliang slowly began to ponder the various operations of the blast furnace, and slowly figured out the different heat in the blast furnace, the brass produced is different, and the impurities in the brass are also different.

Over time, he became the backbone of the smelting workshop.

Although it was hard and tiring here, after slowly tasting the hardships, I not only adapted, but also began to enjoy the life here!

On the one hand, with the growth of their skills, they have been respected by others, especially after work, many people also ask for their own knowledge, those who are holding textbooks and are illiterate, also want to send more food at home, and want to ask Chen Zhengliang to teach some textbook content!

These are all co-workers who eat and live together, and they are very eager to learn, and in order to seek knowledge, they serve him on weekdays and call him Mr. Chen.

On the other hand, after a large amount of copper was produced, Chen Zhengliang was not stupid at all, and suddenly realized that this was the hen that laid golden eggs in Chen's family, and his cousin transferred himself here, could it be because he didn't worry about others?

With this in mind, he began to settle down!

At this time, he had roughly figured out the principle of copper production in blast furnaces, and the textbooks that he didn't pay much attention to before suddenly made him interested!

In fact, he was not interested in the textbooks of the primary school, but the physics and chemistry textbooks of the junior high school found that he could have many doubts in the process of producing copper. Especially in the production process, the principles in many textbooks coincide with the production time.

Chen Zhengliang suddenly got a treasure, anyway, this place is boring, every day in addition to work, after work, within a radius of ten miles, not even a sow can be seen, so the biggest entertainment is to read a book.

When he saw that his cousin had brought the emperor and hundreds of officials, his heart blossomed, and the third uncle had always said that Zhengtai was the tiger of our Chen family, and now he was more and more convinced!

Well, even if it is to send himself to smelt, this must be the intentional arrangement and arrangement of Chen's Tiger, I understand.

He happily worked hard, while looking at this side from time to time, thinking in his heart, the so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Today, Your Majesty has seen our Chen family's blast furnace and smelting, and in the future, the tiger of the Chen family will definitely rise, and our Chen family will sooner or later become a wealthy family like the Jingzhao Wei clan and the Du clan.

He listened attentively to Chen Zhengtai and Li Shimin's recital, although he only heard it faintly.

What to say first and jump into the blast furnace, but then he was calling to himself again, and his face suddenly turned like earth!

Jump into the blast furnace? Do you know that when a person enters a blast furnace, he immediately turns to ashes?

Oh my God, isn't this going to be a success?

Li Shimin was speechless for a while when he heard Chen Zhengtai's nonsense, I just said a word, right? You Chen Zhengtai really let your Chen family jump into the blast furnace one by one?

Haven't I become a faint monarch like Shang Xuan and Sui Yang?

Li Shimin stiffened his face and fell: "Okay, the joke ends here." ”

"The students weren't kidding." Chen Zhengtai looked aggrieved.

Li Shimin immediately said: "It's not too early, it's useless to stay here for a long time, let's go back to Chang'an first." ”

Li Shimin didn't want to stay here longer, everyone saw the effect of Chen's copper smelting method, and the longer he stayed, the greater the possibility that others would learn this skill!

Now it seems...... The internal government in the palace, nine times out of ten, will come from this county, and it is best to let the eldest grandson Wuji and these people know as late as possible.

So Li Shimin didn't delay any longer, and with an order, he took the ministers back to Chang'an!

Back in the palace, I went directly to the Taiji Palace.

Then, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Chen Zhengtai were summoned.

When I went out of this door, I was happy when I went, but at this time, Li Tai was in a hurry!

But he still wanted to fight for the last chance, so after entering the palace, he immediately bowed down and said: "Father, the son still wants to stay in Chang'an for one more year, and wait for the ......spring to start next year."

He really didn't want to be well-behaved for many years, but in the end, he was expelled from Chang'an, and once he left Chang'an, he really had no hope.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Tomorrow? I have said that you have grown up, and I have already canonized you as the king of Yue, if you don't become a vassal again, do you want me to take away your kingship? You have to leave in a few days, don't hesitate, if not, you don't blame me for ignoring the love of father and son.

Li Shimin's words were very decisive, and Li Tai's heart was cold when he heard it.

Li Shimin had a gloomy face, Li Tai disappointed him too much, he originally thought that Li Tai was really well-behaved, but now he understands that it is okay for him to say some big and empty beautiful words on weekdays, but this time he ...... He asked for the life of the 'people', which made Li Shimin deeply aware that this son ...... If you are stupid in reading, you are stupid. But if this son knows that there is a entanglement of interests here, but he still does this, then it is purely bad.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai deeply: "You have to remember, I am the father of the world, not the son of heaven with a few surnames, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty can't hold up with a few surnames." After arriving in Yangzhou, you will study well, and you will not have to worry about me and your mother. ”

Li Tai's eyes were already red, but he choked up, and seemed to realize that his crying had no effect.

Li Shimin then said lightly: "You retreat." ”

Li Tai still refused to leave.

But at Li Shimin's suggestion, Zhang Qianben and several eunuchs helped Li Tai up with all hands and feet and carried him away.

As soon as Li Tai left, Li Shimin suddenly showed a look of regret, and said faintly: "The most painful thing for me is that the parents and children I raised have ruined my overall situation for the sake of some reputation." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Chengqian: "Although Chengqian is sometimes ridiculous......

"Erchen is not ridiculous." Li Chengqian felt very cool, his brother was really good at acting, obviously he saw that he was selling his reputation and reputation, but on the contrary, Li Tai was very favored in front of his father, Li Chengqian's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but he could only endure it obediently, and there was no way to take this nasty ghost.

And once this person has endured it for a long time, he is prone to insaneness, but he didn't expect that today's father would actually reprimand Li Tai fiercely, and then let Li Tai become a vassal!

He knew in his heart that his position as the crown prince was stable.

Of course, all this is thanks to Chen Zhengtai, this is kindness, you have to remember.

Li Shimin said: "Don't argue here, who are you, I don't know?" ”

Li Chengqian suddenly looked like a frosted eggplant, and said: "In the future, the sons and daughters will definitely ......."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "I don't want to hear this now, Chen Zhengtai...... You seem to have something to say? ”

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said: "Students do have something to say. ”

Li Shimin was very interested, and after reading this Chen's copper smelting method today, he was afraid that the world would be shaken.

But he knows very well that Chen Zhengtai's ability does not stop there.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher, if the student wants to ask a question, then ...... What is the use of money? ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin thought to himself, the money is useless yet?

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "If copper coins are in short supply, this money is scarce and expensive, but once the imperial court can print copper coins on a large scale, then copper coins will not be of much use." Of course, whether it is useful or not is actually in the hands of the teacher. It can not only become a tool for the imperial court to seek huge profits, but also a weapon for controlling the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

Chen Zhengtai paused and continued: "The most useful thing about Chen's copper smelting method is not that it can smelt countless copper coins, but that it can be used to force out a large number of copper coins stored in the hands of the clans. But why, is there not much money on the market? The fundamental reason is that the money is hidden, and everyone is reluctant to spend it, because in their opinion, the more money is hidden, the more valuable it is. Today, the teacher took hundreds of officials to Juxian County, in fact, to show them, this is to tell them that the old method is no longer effective. From this day on, it is no longer a means for the families to accumulate wealth, because if they continue to store uncontrollably, then it is inevitable that the copper coins they store will not only not increase in value, but even become less and less valuable. ”

Li Shimin nodded, he understood this truth.

"So what's next? When they realize that the 10,000 guan they have hidden may shrink to 9,000 guan next year, and the year after that, it will become 8,000 kan, are they still happy to store coins? If they are not happy to store money, they will definitely try their best to spend it, Teacher, if everyone wants to spend money in so many worlds, this is actually a very terrifying thing. I am afraid that it will not be long before the coins on the market will be flooded, and at that time, the more coins are circulated, the more likely the coins will become cheaper and cheaper, and the prices of all kinds of goods, land and even food in the world will skyrocket. ”

"It's not a good thing for people to hide money, and if prices skyrocket, it's certainly not a good thing."

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "I'm still worried, don't we have land in our hands?" If it rises, it will not hurt me and the Chen family. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "If it just rises a little, of course it will not hurt, but if it rises too much, it will also be harmful to ordinary people." Because the materials and land in the market are unchanged, the only thing that has changed is that there is more money. Therefore, the students thought that this inflation was not the intention of the teacher and the students. More money is not necessarily a good thing, but it should be guided according to the situation, and the money can be led in a direction that can increase production, only in this way is beneficial and harmless for my Datang and thousands of ordinary people. If you just let the coins go through the frenzy, you could be in trouble. ”

Listening to Chen Zhengtai's later words, Li Shimin thought about it, and he gradually understood Chen Zhengtai's thoughts.

It's not a good thing that everyone is hiding money. But if there is a flood of coins, it is not a good thing.

The question is how to use them!

If you don't make good use of it, it will lead to backlash.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "In this way, what can you do?" ”

"A top priority." Chen Zhengtai said: "It is to set a model, if the teacher lets the prince and the student do it, the student will definitely be able to satisfy the teacher." ”

Li Shimin laughed, but glanced at Li Chengqian: "Follow your senior brother to learn." ”

After that, he said to Chen Zhengtai: "I don't know much about this way of management. But I know that as a monarch, the most important thing is to be able to know people well, and Chint is good at economics, so ...... I naturally let you do it. If it is done, it will be a great achievement. ”

Seeing Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian gone, Li Shimin took out the long-lost book with great interest.

More than 7 million acres of land, the royal family can be divided into 4 million acres, what is this concept!

And these more than 4 million acres of land are still obtained for nothing!

Cost? Although the cost is more than 20 million yuan, it is actually ...... With Chen's copper smelting method, as well as the mines in Ju County, this is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

In all dynasties, I don't know how many monarchs have wanted to suppress the world, but now ...... Chen Zhengtai only took a few months, and the family suffered heavy losses!

However, what he used was the method of boiling frogs in warm water, which made the people resentful, but after all, it was ...... All this is reasonable, just like when they themselves rushed to beg Chen Zhengtai to buy the land, they could only be willing to gamble and lose.

Of course...... Li Shimin doesn't care that some people are unwilling to gamble and lose, anyway, he can always let those who refuse to lose lose again.

It's just that...... You still have to be careful, Li Shimin thought about it with a calm face, and said: "Zhang Qian......"

Zhang Qian bowed and said, "The slave is here." ”

"Hou Junji, a thousand horses, and a guard Taiji Palace. Cheng Yanjin no longer had to go to Luzhou to take up his post, so he was temporarily appointed as the general of the guard and guarded the gates of Chang'an...... The eldest grandson Wuji inspected the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right Longwu Army, and the left and right Shenwu Army. ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "No." ”

…………

Wei Xuanzhen hurriedly returned to his mansion with a heavy heart.

He was in a hurry.

Not long after entering the house, Huang Chenggong saw the proprietor coming back, walked to him excitedly, and said happily: "The proprietor, the proprietor, haha...... It's done, it's done, Nawei Jieyi is talking nonsense there again, and he has been arrested, the student has been arranged, he has violated several family laws, and it just so happens that the proprietor has come back from Ju County, so he might as well use him to kill chickens and scare monkeys. ”

Wei Xuanzhen: "......"

Huang Chenggong saw that the proprietor only had a calm face and was silent, and couldn't help but feel a little strange!

When the proprietor goes out, why does it seem that even his temperament has changed, no wonder he shouldn't be happy?

You know, it's not easy to grasp the handle of the four rooms, but it took a lot of effort for me to secretly exchange interests with the people in each room!

For example, although the private land they sold was three yuan, Huang Chenggong had already promised them on behalf of the proprietor and gave them some subsidies for selling the land.

But he saw Wei Xuanzhen's depressed look...... Then, it dawned on him! Yes, in any case, the four rooms are also connected to the proprietor's blood, how can the proprietor be too happy, doesn't this mean that the proprietor has a cold temperament, even if he wants to clean them up, then he should show his heart like a knife.

Huang Chenggong sighed in his heart, Huang Chenggong, Huang Chenggong, you are full of poetry and books, so smart, you compare yourself with Guan Zhong on weekdays, today I feel that because I am happy, and I am carried away, I didn't think of this.

Thereupon...... He changed the subject and said with a smile: "In addition, there is one more thing to be happy about...... There are four rooms...... They even bought our clan land. They are willing to pay four acres and buy 70,000 acres of clan land in Hexi, the proprietor, this is 70,000 acres, and the price is actually four acres......"

"Sold?" At this time, Wei Xuanzhen's face finally had some expression.

"Of course it's sold, after the students know, they are afraid that they will have a lot of dreams at night, such a good thing, they can't find it with a lantern, but it's a pity that the proprietor is not at home today, so the student in the name of the proprietor, convened the elders of each room, and after agreeing together, it was immediately delivered, the proprietor, the Chen family only received three acres of one acre, and the four rooms were enough to give more consistent, these 70,000 acres of land, it earned an extra 70,000 yuan, you talk about it, this is not a big bargain? Where can I find such a good thing? Of course, after this village, there will be no such shop, and it is also a loss to the students to make a quick decision, if not......"

Wei Xuanzhen only felt that her head was blank and dizzy.

70,000 ......

Earned 70,000 yuan......

The Wei family's land, in the past two months, has been sold for almost seventy-seven eighty-eight, except for a little fertile land......

He actually felt that his spirit was in a trance, and his body was shaking!

finally cheered up, and saw Huang Chenggong's smiling face again, Huang Chenggong's eyes are always bright, they are a pair of eyes with wisdom.

"Really sold? Wouldn't it have been delivered yet, would it be sold so fast? ”

Huang Chenggong felt that the proprietor was very strange, why did the proprietor look confused today, as if he hadn't eaten, ah...... Yes, the proprietor's boat must have been extremely hard, and when I returned to the house, I heard so much good news, and I couldn't bear it for a while!

Oh, damn it, the proprietor should have had a good sip of tea and a bite to eat, and then tell him the good news, but he only blamed himself for being in a hurry, and he neglected this again! Huang Chenggong, Huang Chenggong, you have been smart all your life, and you are so careless.
