Chapter 487: Zhenguan's five-year start
Using the method of watering into ice, Li Shimin's army entered the new city without hindrance, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies and capturing more than 100,000.
Yuangai Suwen finally fled with only 10,000 or 20,000 diehards, but now he has now been caught up by the Tang army that marches faster than him, and his last 10,000 or 20,000 descendants are constantly being eaten away by the Tang army, and if he wants to escape the pursuit of the Tang army alive, he can only rely on the continuous sacrifice of his subordinates.
At the same time, Li Shimin has asked Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Liu Hongji, and Zhang Liang to use this method of pouring ice into ice in Jishi, Jian'an, Beisha and other cities to attack the city.
The imperial court had long predicted the shortage of food after the war in Goguryeo, but it did not think that Yuangai Suwen would have no bottom line in order to win the war.
The reason why Li Shimin issued an order to urge grain is naturally because the grain in Laizhou may not be enough, after all, the reserve here is only military rations for 300,000 troops, and if these military rations are used to feed millions of Goguryeo people, the gap will definitely be huge.
After Sun Xiangfu received the order, he had no choice but to fly a pigeon to send a letter to Lingnan, asking Feng Ang to mobilize the grain from Lingnan and Ninan County, and send it directly to Goguryeo by sea, which also gave Feng Ang the opportunity to talk to Li Shimin about inviting him to tour the south after the end of the Eastern Expedition.
On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an is very lively, every year on this night there are new songs, cross talk, sketches are staged, this year is no exception, and Weinan is also lively.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling announced that starting next year, the salaries of all Weinan workers will be increased by 20 percent on the existing basis, and moreover, it will be a mandatory increase, and the minimum basic wage for new workers will be set at 1,500 yuan per month, and with the increase of the length of service of the workers, the seniority wage will be increased by at least 50 yuan every year.
The reason why such regulations were promulgated is that after a round of accounting and inspection by the Ministry of Commerce, it was found that the profit margins of the major factories were too large, and these ordinary workers who created benefits for each factory did not enjoy the benefits brought by the profits of the factories, which was unreasonable.
In addition to the mandatory wage increase for workers, the imperial court also called on the proprietors of all factories to give workers more holidays during the New Year, as well as additional benefits in addition to salary, such as the smelter, just before the Spring Festival, customized a decent set of cotton fabric winter clothes for all workers, and also distributed 20 catties of rice noodles, 10 catties of soybean oil, as well as dried fruits, canned food and other New Year's goods several large bags to all workers.
The advantage of this is that the imperial court will stimulate domestic demand transactions, which will also increase fiscal revenues and improve the quality of life of the workers.
Such a policy will bring the people a feeling that the court is thinking about them, so that when they encounter things, they are more willing to believe in the court and accept the arrangement of the court, which is a good thing for both the workers and the court to benefit, and the proprietors of the factory seem to have suffered damage in their interests, but in fact, they will implement the policy of the court, so that the production of the factory is more stable, and more capable skilled craftsmen will remain under their own banner, which will enhance their competitiveness.
After all, many things produced in Weinan, Shanyang, Dingxiang, also produced, and even, there will be more places in the future, to a certain extent, it is necessary to rely on excellent quality to determine whose products can be eaten in the market, familiar craftsmen, is the basis for improving the quality of goods, most of the industrial technological innovation, are born from these skilled craftsmen.
After these news were announced, Shanyang, Dingxiang, and then followed up the policy of Chang'an, however, because the overall price of the north is lower than that of Guanzhong, Shanyang is currently formulating a minimum basic wage standard of 1,300 yuan, and the length of service is also a policy of increasing at least 50 yuan per year. It is according to the profit margin of the proprietor, and it is determined by himself.
This is also a disguised cultural propaganda, which will make the Hu people of Shanyang and Dingxiang accustomed to the festivals of the Han people, and it will also increase their recognition of the customs and traditions of the Han people.
Knowing the good news, the workers in the north spontaneously held a grand celebration, so this year, is the most lively Shangyuan Festival in Shanyang and Dingxiang, at this time in previous years, the people of the Hu people in the north who are reluctant to go out in the ice and snow will not run out to play because of this Han festival.
Shanyang Wangjianglou branch, today there is a relatively grand lantern appreciation meeting, it is said that the prince will exhibit a lot of exquisite glass lanterns at the lantern festival for everyone to appreciate, invited to attend, only need to guess the riddle on the glass lantern, you can get the glass lamp.
This is a glass lamp!
In the case of Sun Xiangfu deliberately controlling the shipment, the value of the glass is still quite high, even if the color is relatively ordinary, it is not lost to the silver utensils, and the good, fully transparent crystal glass is more expensive than the gold and jade, so even if all the officials invited are Shanyang high-grade officials and the children of the powerful families, they also want to guess the riddle correctly at the lantern festival, and go back with a few glass lanterns.
However, when they came to the scene, they found that the glass lamps on display by the prince were really good, but their focus would unconsciously be on the prince himself who was with Wang Yao.
Because, the opening performance of the Lantern Festival is that Li Chengqian and Wang Yao sang a song "When Will the Bright Moon Be the Water Tune Song" previously written by Sun Xiangfu.
This kind of public occasion, open intimate behavior, and political information revealed are really too strong.
Wang Yao is the daughter of Wang Rui, the head of the Wang family, although she is only a concubine, but her identity is only higher than that of the daughter of an ordinary family, and the prince is disgusted with Hou Junji's daughter Hou Shuya, and she is on good terms with this Wang Yao?
Now, both of them are over thirteen years old, and with the traditional habits of the royal family, they are almost at the age of marriage, if so, they can't see that this is the Wang family's desire to operate Wang Yao to become the crown princess, then they will be blind in their eyes.
The crown princess, the future queen, the mother of a country, if the flowers fall into the Wang family, then, who can stop the Wang family, whose strength is already higher than that of the outstanding family?
This has to be messed up.
This is the first thought that pops up in the minds of the children of each family after seeing this scene, with such cognition, various strategies, they began to gradually generate in their minds, so it is destined that this lantern festival will not be stable.
However, Sun Xiangfu put himself in the position of a bystander, did not participate at all, and waited to see how Li Chengqian dealt with these things, if he operated properly, it should not be difficult to use the contradictions between them and their bad intentions to achieve profits for the country.
In addition, Wang Li Chengqian is accustomed to seeing the struggle of these people, which has many benefits for him to govern in the future, at least he can easily distinguish between right and wrong.
Sure enough, after the Shangyuan Festival, there was an endless stream of posts inviting Li Chengqian to various banquets, and there were those who offered beautiful women and rare treasures, however, Li Chengqian, who needed professional experience, could only go to the banquet through a small amount of time that was not on duty at night, and, at the banquet, he said many times that the control he was under in the palace was too strict, even if he wanted to play and have fun, he could not act freely, the treasury of the prince's east palace was now in the hands of the eldest grandson, he had no money, and it was not easy to do anything, etc.
Then, the families began to think of a way, they liked a monarch like Li Chengqian, who seemed to be unable to do anything except eat, drink and have fun.
You don't faint, their family, it's not easy to develop their own power!
After that, Li Chengqian first accepted a round of filial piety from each of them, and then made a surprise move to help the Lu family and the Zheng family to fight the idea of the Wang family's industry, to help the two Li families, to fight the idea of the Cui family's industry, and to help the Wang and Cui families, to fight the idea of the rest of the industries, and to make the situation of the five surnames and seven families in the shopping mall as chaotic as the Seven Kingdoms, the whole process, Li Chengqian seemed to be just passively receiving some benefits, and indiscriminately agreed to help others, but a series of follow-up things involved, In addition to Li Chengqian's own benefit, the people of the north also benefited a lot, such as the spice promotion price war, which reduced the price of spices for the people of Shanyang by two or three percent, and other aspects are not listed one by one.
No matter how profound the wisdom of the clan elders behind each family is, I can't imagine that a thirteen-year-old child will use this kind of detour and imperceptible means to help the people do things.
The feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is very refreshing, Li Chengqian's wisdom is also growing up in this kind of tempering, Sun Xiangfu doesn't need to deliberately stare at him, he can play some tricks very slippery by himself.
At the beginning of February, there was a busy scene of spring plowing in Guanzhong, and Sun Xiangfu handed over many of the booklets he had recently compiled in his hand to Wuying'er.
"According to the requirements above this book, send your people to the place, find the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, allocate the corresponding conditions and the number of fields out, and, according to the above transplantation method, recruit a certain number of local people, try to plant in the field, these Chinese herbal medicines are originally abundant in the local area, and the planting is not difficult, if you encounter problems, you can let them write and report, and I will send someone to solve it."
"No."
Wuying'er took the notebook given to him by Sun Xiangfu, but he didn't hurry to leave, and reported, "Dudu, let's go to Yunnan to track down Wang Hao's people, the news sent back last night shows that Wang Hao should not be dead, he concealed things like looking for Shelong who pursued him downstream, all the way to Tengzhou, went to the country of Pi, and went to the country of Linyi, according to the local boatman, they did not stay long in the country of Linyi, so they bought a boat and went to sea." ”
"Out to sea?"
"Let Bamu and the people of Heling pay attention to searching along the coast, even if he flees to Africa, I must capture him, I will see people alive, and corpses will be seen when he dies."
A person like Wang Hao is not safe when he leaves Datang himself, every one of the things he operates is a big thing that leads to Datang's war with foreign countries, maybe he will go to that neighboring country to lurk again, and when the time comes, Datang will be against whom!
Wuying'er received the order, and Sun Xiangfu packed up and went to the nursery.
Simple cultivation of medicinal herbs, can be directly entrusted to the Ministry of Agriculture in the local officials to open the field for planting, more difficult, you need to personally lead his disciples to study, the types of Chinese herbal medicine, the quantity, but very much, this subject, I am afraid that he will be busy until the spring snow of Shanyang melts, during this time, his food and accommodation, will be in the nursery.
