Chapter 110: Speculation
For Li Xiangqian, the days of the Lunar New Year are pleasant and comfortable.
There is no need to stay with the army every day, with Duoduo and Azig being taken to Liaodong as prisoners, Li Xiangqian doesn't have to worry too much, anyway, the strength of the Presbyterian Church has been shown to them too much, and they are still in that poor country, as long as the elders run out of food, they will have to die, so, many times, don't care.
Of course, the troops under their control, the military heart still has to be grasped, they imitate the ancient law, organize a group of people to go down to the army to comfort the army, this point, and the first brother of the military commission down to the army, and the effect of the front-line soldiers eating at the same table, in this era, the army of any country is a group of farmers found at random, and the upper class does not care about the soldiers, just a group of consumables.
Only a hundred years later, Napoleon began to care about the life and death of the low-level soldiers, life, and even began to give the soldiers medals, the appointment of "French generals", French marshals, all kinds of life care, honor stimulation, so that France can repeatedly confront the surrounding powers, of course, Napoleon's strategic outlook is not good, and the British Empire on the other side is too strong.
However, several elders who had military positions went to the Fengtai camp and the Kailuan camp in batches with condolences to the Fengtai camp, as well as the Kailuan camp for condolences, and the soldiers who were originally just farmers, hawkers, or all kinds of servants, suddenly heard that these were the big officials in the imperial capital who came to comfort themselves, and they were all grateful.
In fact, Li Xiangqian himself also felt a little helpless, nothing more than undressing and pushing food, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, if he did it a few times, he began to split his personality, but in this year, the people recognized this, just like the crew took the money they invested from the corrupt officials, filmed the scene of the emperor dressed in plainclothes and going down to the people to kill corrupt officials, and then returned the money earned by the crew to the smiling corrupt officials because the people loved this.
Everything is a routine.
In other aspects, it is very quiet, the four pillars of Chinese society, Shinong industry and commerce, and scholars have been co-opted, at least the major inns and temples in the imperial capital have long been filled with the talents who live in them, for them, what is there for the emperor, at least since the little prince in the imperial capital is true, it is a very traditional Zen Jean, as a group of 1oser defeated dogs on the original imperial examination field, if you don't hurry up and trot all the way in, then what are you doing.
The peasants and landlords were actually more likely to cope, and both the homestead law and the abolition of the agricultural tax really hit the little heart of this poor man who was digging in the soil, and of course, everything had to wait until the future.
As for the craftsmen, well, they have countless chores to do, busy currying favor with the construction committee under the Presbyterian Church, trying to get enough orders, and striving for a fat year, for them, the Presbyterian Church is the God of Wealth, the grandfather.
Of course, those businessmen are definitely the most complex group in their hearts, from the original, bribing the cabinet elders, dotting up and down, and then starting to earn huge profits on the common people The unspoken rules have been directly separated, and now, the nouveau riche who live in the palace do not need any bribes, all the precious metals in their eyes are a pile of scrap metal, and as for the way to earn, the elders are extremely proficient, compared to their "dirt buns", it is simply countless times taller.
What kind of machines, what dazzling variety of small commodities, the elders are determined to use the products of mass production to completely smash the original small peasant economy in China, and the common people who were originally bound and rooted in the land will also be driven out as soon as possible to concentrate their efforts on dealing with overseas colonies.
Not to mention anything else, Southeast Asia has a large area of unopened resources, because there are too few white manpower in Europe, so even in the 21st century, many have not yet been opened, and they have always used the local Han people to go south to work, and when those Han people gradually grow up, it is likely to threaten their rule, and the gradual fattening of the raising, just tempting the indigenous people to slaughter a pass, take the opportunity to make money.
The poor Han people did not appear until 1998, and even appeared that the current regime in Taiwan spent money to help massacre the local Chinese in Indonesia, but those young generals turned a deaf ear to such a conclusive crime, shouting that the massacre was justified, and the bullets boiled in the dishes could kill me.
Therefore, the problem of overseas Chinese has always been not a lack of strength, but a lack of a force that can integrate them, so they have been slaughtered intermittently, and even at this time, decades, the Dutch have already done such a thing.
It's all old.
For the elders from modern society, the New Year has long become an ordinary day, which is nothing more than adding more welfare benefits, more wages, and welfare coupons.
However, they thoroughly studied the most traditional way of celebrating the New Year.
The Chinese New Year customs, not for a long time, the legend is that originated in the Yin Shang period of ancestor worship activities, but only a few thousand years, keeping the year, pressing the New Year's money, eating dumplings, reunion, eating reunion dinner, sticking Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, New Year's greetings, and so on, but it is well maintained.
Although in Li Xiangqian's view, this is an ordinary day, we must pay attention to the maintenance of stability in various places outside the city, and we must pay attention to the loss of control of prices, before the rise of the power of large-scale production, at this time the materials in the entire north are still insufficient, in fact, it is not insufficient, but only 10 percent of the landlords, in order to maintain their position, and to prevent war and famine will last too long, so they hide a large amount of grain in case of emergency.
There is no way, a farming people who have been hungry for thousands of years have formed the instinct to search for food as long as they have a little spare energy, and they can't help it.
However, the economic principle is universal, it is nothing more than to create a prosperous expectation, so that the common people can slowly follow behind, and now, the people of the imperial capital know that the grain transported from the south by spaceship has filled up several granaries that were originally piled up, that is, if they don't sell it while the price of grain is still a little higher now, wait until next year, if those elders still fire so hard to transport grain to the north by boat, then their hoarding of grain is the most stupid.
Therefore, this year, in fact, everyone is doing well, win-win, a happy and peaceful place in the imperial capital, even if it is the original eunuch in the palace, due to the pre-Ming Dynasty to engage in father-in-law politics, there are really a lot of literate and hyphenated eunuchs are still in the palace, many of them have entered the palace since childhood, and there is no one at home, for these people, Li Xiangqian also accepted them all, compared to others, in fact, most of the eunuchs are just pitiful, among them, the proportion of traitors, and the proportion of civil officials and traitors, and the proportion of relatives who are traitors, is actually the same.
As mentioned before, they imitated the plan of building a satellite city like Paris, the future of the old imperial capital, which was the political center and their own place, while the new imperial capital outside the city was positioned as a cultural center, various cultural facilities, libraries, museums, plus some religious sites, and of course, various universities could also be considered.
Therefore, in their plan, these eunuchs can still be used, historically, most of these eunuchs in the palace are lonely, and they can reach and be as powerful as nine thousand years old, most of them are old and useless, they can only stay in a certain temple, barely waiting for death, and now, with their cultural quality, as well as the various trainings they receive in the inner palace, it is more than enough to be a librarian.
I believe that with the financial resources of the Presbyterian Church, there should be no arrears of administrators' salaries.
I hope not, if it is in arrears, then the wheel of history will turn again.
For Li Xiangqian, money is not a problem, talent is a problem, but he doesn't want this kind of person.
"In other words, when our people go out to run errands, we not only have to guard against possible assassins, but also against someone who is really anxious and sends us a collection of poems, I remember, this set has long been out of order."
Zhao Jiaren sighed and said slowly: "This set, I played a lot during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, poor and young talented scholars, who wrote things with all their hearts and minds, tried to throw them into the door valve, eager to win the favor of the big people in the door, but what I didn't expect was that many times, it was just a joke." ”
"What kind of joke, is it a joke with poor cultural quality, or a joke that is ridiculed by people from a family like you in the gate, such a shoddy flattering behavior."
"Both."
Li Xiangqian sighed, he knew that this was the answer, and he also understood what they were talking about, in this imperial capital, there are now many speculators from all kinds of foreign places, and there are all kinds of legends of light and monsters, and under the heavy reward, they have arrested three monks, six Taoist priests, and nine "mages" of the White Lotus Sect, they are not good birds anyway, and there is no place for them in any modern China, but the Taoism in these Daomen, as well as the inner ghosts left somewhere, are what they are most interested in.
After thinking about it, the contradiction between the elders and these people, just as the contradiction between them and the beggar gang, is the class contradiction of Chiguoguo, which is completely irreconcilable, and what the elders want is to open the wisdom of the people, and what they want is to turn the common people into a group of treacherous and cunning old drivers, who will go to pit foreigners in the future, and the needs of these Taoist sects are to brainwash the people into fools and build their "earthly Buddha country", and then there are all kinds of teachers, altar masters or something, to pit and deceive.
One of the signals that the imperial capital has re-become the original political center may be these fortune tellers who come and go, and the mage altar masters have come out to do one or two activities again, and then there are countless speculators of all kinds.
The legend of China for thousands of years has always been the equal emphasis on the imperial examination system and the "lifting system", that is, the legend, the court is Tian Shelang, and the evening is the guest of the court, which is almost the yearning of countless ordinary people in their hearts, you don't have to say, there are still so many in the end, so the speculation has succeeded, just like Zhuge Liang, such as Li Si, such as Zhang Yizhi's house, and for most people, no matter how good you do, the leader can't see it, and it's useless.
These days, especially after the imperial capital has become a little prosperous, many scholars, especially a group of people who know that they have no ability to pass the imperial examination, have hit them with their ideas.
In order to avoid shocking the world, and at the same time the problem of the road, so the scooter on the spaceship, as well as the various engineering vehicles temporarily manufactured, can not be used as an old car to enter the imperial capital, these days, whether it is to command civilian workers, the elders who survey the ground, are all in and out by horseback and car, the sedan chair is slow and inhumane, purely some people want to show their identity as a person, so naturally, there are several elders of the identity, naturally known to outsiders.
Naturally, no one dares to assassinate or anything, the existence of the Millennium Falcon has greatly shocked anyone who has ideas, and every elder is basically equipped with all kinds of equipment, even if the weak guy is, even if he can't fight back, it's always okay to protect himself.
At first, the elders were still interested in looking at it, but later, they realized that it was not interesting at all, basically, it was similar to the level of modern poems made by the members of the Writers' Association and the president of later generations, some incomprehensible and incomprehensible acid poems, which were already the best, and some of them were what they were, and finally asked what they called the persuasion table, that is, they hoped that he would be the emperor.
In the previous announcements, they ended in a more formal way, the presbytery, the management committee, or a certain department, after all, this is to be recorded in the historical archives, if there is any embarrassing mistake, it will be laughable and generous.
Therefore, the outside world basically knows nothing about the power structure of the presbytery, and can only explore it a little bit, but some of everyone's stereotyped thinking is still okay, that is, the people who supervise the construction site, no matter how they look at it, their status is not high, and how can there be a big official to direct the construction of the construction site.
These things naturally bothered them for a long time.
Li Xiangqian suddenly stopped thinking about him, these people are willing to please him like this, and no one cares about it anyway, but ......
"There is a problem, for so long, no one has come to us to offer our daughter to seek wealth, nor did he stop the travel procession, saying that my family is wronged, how can someone deceive people too much, give us justice."
Zhao Jiaren had a wooden face, looking at these self-boasting letters that had been collected, but in her heart she was not so optimistic about her future in this world.
