Chapter 128 Stepping on Wu Zetian's numbness
The commodity economy, the commodity economy, is to use the power of the market to drive the development of industry, agriculture and commerce.
Only by breaking this shackle can the handicraft industry be formed on a large scale and agricultural production can be promoted to a higher efficiency.
Some people may say, that the food production is not in place, everyone is in business, who will farm the land?
. How easy is this kind of extreme environment to occur? It is impossible for people to go into business without farming.
Besides, everything is complementary to each other, and any civilization needs to be the driving force.
Plainly!! People are forced out, and the bridge is naturally straight from bridge to bridge!
It took quite a long time for wheat to replace the relatively low-yielding corn in the Central Plains, which made the Qin state profitable and unified the six countries.
You can say that wheat appeared just right, but it cannot be denied that it was the social demand at that time that drove the rapid promotion of wheat.
In Datang, the low agricultural efficiency allowed Quyuan pear to replace Zhiyuan pear.
In the same way, you can also say that the appearance of the pear came at the right time, or that the production needs forced the continuous progress of agricultural tools.
Looking further back, the commercial development of the Great Song Dynasty and the emergence of Champa rice, the population ceiling of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the introduction of crops from the Americas, including the modern food crisis and the hybrid rice of the Yuan Dadruid.
This can be said to be the luck of the times, but it is also the demand of the times that forces agriculture to advance.
Do you believe it or not? If 30 million runaways stop farming and there is not enough food to eat, the rice in the city will be occupied in a few minutes and will enter the Central Plains two hundred years ahead of schedule.
Besides, the place that occupies the city is now the Tang Dynasty!
If the development of Datang to Zhancheng rice can't solve the problem, then the maritime merchants who are about to go to sea in Datang will not be able to transport spices and glass back, and American crops will arrive on the battlefield immediately.
If it is not enough, as long as the commercial scale is enough to maintain social development, as long as Datang's scientific and technological level has enough time to advance, then hybrid rice should come.
Wu Ning understood too much, the previous hundreds of thousands of words were all foreshadowing. Even if you play flowers, you will increase the taxes for Mrs. Wu and add some bargaining chips for court battles. But running away is different, this is the big problem, the crux of the problem, or the numbness of Datang!!
Wu Zetian's ability to govern the country was inherited from Taizong Li Shimin, and his method and style were also similar to Taizong's gods. But she has never been able to surpass Taizong.... Let the Tang Dynasty become greater than the Taizong period.
But..... If she can solve the problem of fleeing from the house where the two generations of rulers of Taizong and Gaozong have nothing to do.....
Well..... Whether it is in the contemporary era or in the historical evaluation of later generations, even if it is still not comparable to Tang Taizong, it will inevitably rise to a higher level!!
This is also where Wu Ning dares to make a skin with Mrs. Wu and dare to threaten the old lady!
The old lady is still reluctant to kill him, counting on Wu Laojiu, a bastard, to help her create a miracle!
......
Hey???
Champa Rice??
Wu Lao Jiuxin said, how can I know about Zhancheng Rice? Champa rice is a good thing, and it can continue to live at a critical moment....
Far from it.
Returning to the direction of expanding the commodity economy, we might as well imagine that if the problems of the Tang Dynasty's escape and land annexation were placed in the Great Song Dynasty, would it still be a problem?
It is impossible for Da Song to run away!
This is because the peasants who have lost their land do not have to run, and the developed urban economy can completely absorb the huge number of proletarian laborers.
Land annexation is not a big deal. Not long after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the severity of land annexation was already about to catch up with the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the high degree of urbanization and the pervasive small commodity economy, the Great Song Dynasty has become a rich piece of fat.
However, what about Datang?
When the peasant lost his land, he had nowhere to go.
There is no way to live, because even if there is no land and taxes have to be paid, it is impossible to earn a living on their own, because the people in the city do not want them, and there is no sound market environment to support them to start a second business. There was no other choice but to flee from their place of origin and become a recluse dependent on the landlord class.
That's 20 or 30 million people!
Twenty or thirty million people running to the landlord's house will only allow the landlord to get more cheap labor, and then the land will be annexed more frantically.
But what if Datang opens its market and drives these two or three million people to the towns? Can Datang become as wealthy as Da Song?
No!
Because Tang is not Song's rich piece of fat, there is nothing but wealth. It's going to be a male lion with tendon flesh all over his body! More ferocious than the moment!!
So lift the curfew and maximize the time for business. Abolish the fang market, let the urban residents of Datang completely move, and let the merchants go directly to the people.
When the urban business is revitalized first and developed to a certain scale, it is natural that the business will absorb the fugitives and act as cheap labor.
When commerce is further expanded, the proletarian people will naturally be able to find opportunities from it, and then the imperial court will be supplemented by a relaxed policy, and the proletarian peasants will be transformed into a new force in the town, and then recreate their own value and regain the hope of survival!
Of course, Datang is not a Song Dynasty after all, and it cannot be simply plagiarized from the surface, and there are still many details that cannot be perfected.
Therefore, Wu Ning only wrote eight words.
What should be done specifically, and what supporting policies and conditions are needed, you have to talk to Princess Taiping in detail.
As for how long to talk about ....
Don't rush me....
This thing is very difficult, don't you have a talent in the capital for your old man? Let me take my time......
Of course.... These eight words are over, and there is still Champa rice..... There are others.

Time passes, and the New Year has passed.
Fangzhou in March, if converted to the Gregorian calendar of later generations, is already the end of April, and it is almost May.
The spring in the land of Jinghu Lake is even more early, and the flowers are blooming early, and everything is awakening.
Last year, Wu Ning's cellar made Xiashan Pass really taste the sweetness. A few years ago, the families discussed that they wanted to convert all the dry and water fields into vegetable fields. As a result, I don't know how much to increase in income in autumn and winter.
The clansmen with a lot of land even bought farm tools a few years ago, and vowed to do a big job at the beginning of spring.
Unfortunately, the plans did not change as quickly.
The farming has already begun, but no one has planted the land down the mountain pass. The weeds in the field were almost a foot high, and they were all barren.
Who is still farming now? Let's burn charcoal!
Nowadays, there is also Chenjiazhuang in Xiashan Pass, a total of 17 charcoal kilns, full force, day and night.
Not only that, but there are still 20 kilns under construction in the two villages, and in about half a month, they will be able to produce at full capacity.
Compared with the huge profits of black bamboo charcoal, who is more rare than that radish and cabbage?
......
It all started more than two months ago.
After the Shangyuan Festival, Qin Miaoniang and his father Qin Wenyuan set off in exile in Yizhou according to the law.
Originally, it wasn't a problem at all. Fangzhou is only four or five hundred miles away from Yizhou, even if it is over the mountains, but Wu Ning, the prospective son-in-law, always has to send it away.
Moreover, it cannot be given away for nothing.
Wu Laojiu, in line with the principle of "piggybacking", spent a lot of money to hire a caravan and sent 10,000 catties of charcoal to his father-in-law, so that he could use it slowly on the road.
Qin Wenyuan didn't refuse, after all, there are still two of his members here.
However, of course, it was inevitable to count Wu Ning's pass, and then he was satisfied with the road.
......
As soon as the old man left, after twenty days, Qin Fu, who had specially gone to serve Master Qin, came back, and he asked Wu Ning for 30,000 catties of black bamboo charcoal.
Frightened Wu Ning.
Depend on! Lao Tzu's charcoal is so easy to sell? Counting the days, twenty days is enough for Qin Fu to run a round trip.
What does this mean? Explain that Qin Lao Ye is a cow!! Sold out of charcoal as soon as I arrived at the place??
Hehe....
Wu Laojiu thought too much.
Master Qin didn't sell out the charcoal as soon as he arrived at the place, but as soon as he arrived at the place, he sent the charcoal away!!
As a result, after hearing Qin Fuyi, his father-in-law arrived in Yizhou, and immediately became a good money boy and gave it away for nothing!
From the state official to the rich, this old man took his charcoal and left.....
sent Yizhou all over the place.....
The sales channel has not been opened, but Master Qin has made a name for himself....
Yizhou has a bit of a face, and everyone knows that there is a "charcoal seller" from Fangzhou....
Good people, send black charcoal everywhere.....
