Chapter 14: The Stars Hold the Moon
Zhang Yanyan's eyes lit up and said, "Elder, are you going to give my brother an official?" ”
Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "The Celestial Empire is all from officials to officials, starting from the grassroots little by little, your eldest brother is only in his early 20s, what can you do." ”
Zhang Yanyan immediately said: "There are also a few masters around the eldest brother who have entered the curtain of several adults......
Li Xiangqian said: "If you don't plan to do anything, you will leave everything to the master?" ”
Zhang Yanyan was a little embarrassed According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, their family really didn't have to do anything, naturally there were all kinds of glory and wealth, and even various official positions in the Beijing camp for them to enjoy, but now, the Ming Dynasty is over, and the people who pay their salaries and provide welfare benefits for their families are no longer there.
Of course, as a British public family who sat back and watched Chongzhen hang himself that day, he had already estimated this, and he didn't care about the death of wages after hundreds of years of wealth accumulation, just usury, and the income from opening a pawnshop was rich enough.
But all of this needs the support of the official, at least in the Ming Dynasty, it can only be so, otherwise, how to compete with the vigorous business crowd in the market?
In fact, the Zhang family's original business was already very poor, not to mention those pawnshops, the imperial capital's loan sharks almost plummeted, compared to the previous casual post can make competitors or dissatisfied people sent to prison and wait for death, the current errand has already trembled, although under the strict management system, do not dare to covet any money, but there is no respect for the British public, and the pawnshop business has not begun to be very popular, at least now, it is difficult.
If the text is not successful, the martial arts will not be enough, they will only be mixed in the land of dogs and horses, this is the style of these sons and brothers, if they are a little different, the Ming Dynasty will not be in such a situation.
It's still that problem, the elders have no intention of using these sons, but because of the lack of women, they look at Zhang Yanyan who is enthusiastic about helping, and the little girls in the accelerated normal are at least helping Zhang Yanyan to enter the state of learning under the busyness of Zhang Yanyan.
That's the scarcity problem.
Elders are not scarce in combat effectiveness, not in lack of knowledge, but in scarce and reliable cadres, especially female cadres.
Zhang Yanyan also knew that she was at a loss, because of the pig raising policy of the elders, the gentry in the imperial capital did not leave, and it was almost rare to see a government that respected private property so much, at least now no one in the imperial capital dared to take bribes, and I don't know why, many people who received a little money to do things were ordered to return the money the next day.
Li Xiangqian said: "This is also a matter of leaving a name in history, Vietnam, in the future, it will be divided into two parts, Vietnam Province and Quang Nam Province, and many of these things are to find a way to reverse back, after all, it is a land that has been separated for hundreds of years, and the people there have already become a nation of their own, and they need to be brought back." ”
Li Xiangqian knows that this localism is not a new thing, a group of Hebei people and Shandong people have been going to the Northeast for decades, and they have created a big grinning Northeast nation, which shows the stubbornness and fickleness of the nation, Vietnam, at least North Vietnam, although it was also once the land of China, but in the end it has been separated for a hundred years, and if you want to get it back for him, you need to operate it well, fortunately, both sides are celebrating the Lunar New Year, and it is not impossible to do it.
Zhang Yanyan lowered her head, she knew her brother's face, if they were to be the governor of a place, maybe with the help of the masters, it would not be difficult for the fox to be an official, but if she really went to do things, it would not be difficult to be killed, that is, to be sent to death, and the "civil servants" trained by the elders themselves were still studying various documents in the academy at this time, which was not the top use, but Zhang Yanyan knew that many people had already started "internships", that is, probations, and they usually paid attention to these people.
It's very simple, she once asked that sister Zhao why she made the imperial examination like this, but that sister explained that if she did such a unique imperial examination, these people can only be recognized for their fame if they follow the Elders' Council, and naturally follow everyone like a black one.
This is not bad, Zhang Yanyan also believes it.
However, Zhang Yanyan also seemed to know her brother's catties, and said: "My brothers in my family are all talented in poetry and books, but I am afraid that they can't do anything to carry a gun to fight." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled, this Ming Dynasty can be remembered poetry, I am afraid that it is the sentence to leave innocence in the world, but unfortunately the person who said this was also done by the Ming Emperor, and in my Qing Dynasty, how ruthless the mosquito meat is, of course, the public knowledge of later generations will not say, but the good poet who can be remembered is not more than a poet, Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip the book randomly, but it was destroyed all over the door, and that is the sentence of life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes, it is really filmed up by everyone.
In the information collected by Li Xiangqian, at least in the interval between the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were not many talented poets, of course, it is also possible that in later generations, the slander of the Ming Dynasty began with Kangxi, and the tampering with history activities drowned out some great poets, but as far as he knows, these sons and brothers in the imperial capital really don't have much talent.
If there is really something real about it, even if it is half of Emperor Taizu, he will accept it.
But more of them are like our Qianlong Emperor, who wrote tens of thousands of poems, but they are basically unsightly tatters.
Li Xiangqian said: "Artist, it's a pity that we don't collect it, and the people pay us taxes, which requires us to provide us with basic government functions, not to hire people to sing praises of virtue, well, but this time I went to Vietnam, I really didn't use many swords, such a small place." ”
What many people don't understand is that the reason why Vietnam was able to teach the US imperialists a lesson in later generations and make this invincible bald eagle deflated, relying on most of the existing strength of its own country, one is the massive amount of arms provided by the Soviet Union, AK47 became famous in this war and became Uncle bin Laden's favorite, followed by the operation of the Chinese Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, and secondly, at this time, it was still the landform of the independent kingdom occupying the city.
At that time, China drew a line and demanded that the U.S. military not cross the position of the north, so that the U.S. imperialists could tie their hands and feet, and it would be difficult to gain an inch, and the Vietnamese troops could return to the north to repair, and then go to the south to fight.
At this time, if you look at the map, Vietnam is like a dead snake, lying on the seashore, and if it is a sea battle, almost every inch is a death point.
The reason why no one fights is naturally because there are almost no such maritime powers around, at least those foreigners are not populated enough, and it is impossible to directly annex such a big country, at least in their opinion, it is a big country, it is better to do business, and secondly, a traditional hegemon like China is more accustomed to offensive on land, which leads to the fact that it can only be launched through a place like Guangxi where there are many mountains and few roads, and the supply capacity is very touching.
The reason for choosing Vietnam to fight is simple.
Who made you weak and potential, so many mineral deposits, if you don't hand them over, what are you waiting for?
In Li Xiangqian's calculations, his Earth People's Liberation Army will be completely forged in the territory of Vietnam, Vietnam in this era is a stronghold politics like China, defeating the county seat, basically taking the local countryside, Vietnam has never been good in combat without the spiritual power of the Viet Cong.
"I'll just leave the war to me, what we need is to receive talent, it's hard to grasp this, we're going to have to use a lot of southerners, we need some people who can do things."
Zhang Yanyan naturally knew that her brothers couldn't do this.
Li Xiangqian waved his hand and said, "Okay, the words have been brought, and we will summon some people to interrogate recently, so that you can just think nonsense at home." ”
Zhang Yanyan looked at the rifle on the ground, suddenly made up her mind, and said, "Elder Li, can you see me?" ”
"Ah......h
I didn't expect that.
Mu Rongshan didn't expect that he would actually enjoy the treatment of Guan Gong in Vietnam.
Although Zheng Xiaqi did not say it explicitly, but also under his instructions, hinted that he was from the imperial capital, for a while, first the Han merchants in the city, basically warmly invited him to the banquet, at least at the banquet, to investigate the legislation of commercial law, although I don't understand what commercial law is, but to have a big official here, if you don't please, you will be sorry for your parents, and you will be sorry for your wife and children.
This Vietnam seems to be poor, but it is the poverty of the poor gentry, no matter how rich the people are, the life of the upper class is still good, although he is in the war, but Mu Rongshan really eats a lot of good things, of course, his stomach can gradually adapt to the water and soil of the new time and space, and these merchants also turn a blind eye to his strange behavior, anyway, they are unanimously pleased.
When they found that there were three stunning people around Mu Rongshan, they almost laughed crookedly, because of the cultural relationship here in Vietnam, women have never been valued, and there are really quite a lot of women.
Mu Rongshan is also tempted by this, but there are a lot of private things on this ship, and only the three daughters of Li Hongsleeve are "tested" and trustworthy, so they are allowed to board the ship, and it is nothing to really bring back a few women.
However, there is a reason, can not chill the hearts of the Vietnamese Han merchants, in the final analysis, the elders have regarded the land of Vietnam as their own territory, any loss is very distressed, they expect that in the war, the war to recover Vietnam will be short-lived and no sequelae, and after the take, Vietnam will begin to resume production, economic construction, and the main force of these economic construction, Lao Guang and Lao Min, but have to be well encircled.
Mu Rongshan bought a small piece of land, ready to be used as a "temporary embassy office" place, of course, go to bed or go back to the boat, but those Vietnamese women were placed there, as a messenger to clean the room, but it also made him completely understand why this land dared to shout the slogan: sacrifice the girl generation, revitalize the Vietnamese economy, the landscape of this place can indeed raise very good beauties.
At this time, he held a coin, seemed interested, and said, "It turns out that there is such a thing as iron money, interesting, if it is really possible, I can transport a hundred tons at any time." ”
He looked up and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for this thing to do business." ”
The Han merchants were all called by Zheng Xiaqi, and every day through them, many people were found, and they reported the problem to Mu Rongshan, almost treating him as a minister.
"But no, my lord, they just calculated, afraid that we would make money, so they would bring the money back to the Celestial Empire to enjoy, so they used this method, and the real money and silver were returned to their families, and we can only use this kind of iron money for business."
"It's really inconvenient to do anything."
Mu Rongshan added next to him, "It's going to rust." ”
"Yes, that's right, if you can convince and persuade the government to allow us to exchange money freely, we don't have to call for their iron money anymore."
If you think about it seriously, next to such a huge and advanced (relatively advanced) economy as China, there are really all kinds of tricks, just to maintain their own subjectivity, the Vietnamese rely on changing counties to provinces, and this iron money, while North Korea is playing the fourth-class system, they are all high-ranking people, at least with this iron money, there is really no need to worry about the money will harm the operation of Vietnam's economy, because there is no such thing as an economy at all.
However, he could not say that by next year, both the Trung clan in the north and the Nguyen clan in the south would basically be finished, and as the future master of Vietnam, he would naturally be dissatisfied with the reactionary use of iron money under his rule, which is a historical retrogression, and that there are still many gold and silver mines that can be mined in this era, and the gold and silver state of money can continue for many years, and this deliberate implementation of iron money is almost a serious obstacle to the development of productive forces.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a terrible silver shortage, that is, the amount of silver in the market suddenly plummeted, and adapted to the past few decades of South American silver input of the Ming Dynasty, for a time could not accept this change, resulting in a huge crisis, in fact, under the landlord's fire, I don't know how much silver was buried, in later generations of China, there are often similar cases of digging out underground silver.
For the elders, this situation is not difficult to solve, at least in the existing situation, it is not troublesome to solve, mined gold, and a small amount of silver is a way, at the same time, the purchased silver from the machine in a circle, it becomes a very high value of silver dollars, and in the face of such a beautifully minted silver dollar, the common people recognize this value, well, it is also the gold coins behind it, the credit that is supported.
Under the operation of the elders using the Australian gold mines as a deposit and using gold, silver, and copper coins as an exchange system, the phenomenon of private coinage has been alleviated.
"By the way, my lord, you have to watch out for that Qi family."
