On the same day, the imperial court quickly sent an order to the Governor of Songmo, asking them to stop all confrontation, and the imperial court would send officials to mediate.

This order was not issued in the name of Li Zhi, but was signed by Zhongshu Province, which shows how much Li Zhi himself is not optimistic about this, if the decree is transmitted in the name of the emperor, if the other party does not listen, it will be very embarrassing.

Moreover, if you give an order in the name of the emperor, if you don't listen to it, you will rebel, and there is no room for maneuver.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang also returned to the political hall to preside over government affairs.

Although it seems that Wu Meiniang was too sad in the middle and took a long vacation, it is of great significance, Wu Meiniang's words and deeds during this period make everyone more at ease with her, not only Li Zhi, but also Zhang Wen, the deep meaning of this is very important to Wu Meiniang.

This is thanks to the death of Mrs. Rongguo, otherwise, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and this time everyone is down-to-earth.

Now everyone has a common goal, which is to assist the crown prince.

Therefore, not only did Wu Meiniang appear in the political hall today, but the crown prince Li Hong also participated, and the crown prince Li Hong will not only participate in the regular meeting of the political hall, but also participate in the discussion of military affairs on Li Zhi's side.

Li Hong is also more excited about this, as the crown prince, he stays in the East Palace every day, has nothing to do, and is also bored.

"We should demarcate the administrative area on the other side of the South China Sea as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to draft a decree." Wu Meiniang's eyes swept and said, "Don't say it, you haven't thought about it yet?" ”

From the time she entered the house to the present, she did not have a trace of smile, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Zhang Wenguan also knew that Wu Meiniang was in a bad mood, and said: "We have discussed this matter, and named it Fozhou, as for the county-level division inside, I will hand it over to the eldest grandson to arrange it, after all, we are not very familiar with the terrain over there, and it is not easy to divide." ”

"Florida?"

Wu Meiniang nodded, quite satisfied with this name in her heart, because her mother and she were both Buddhists, and suddenly looked at Li Hongdao: "What does the prince suggest about this?" ”

Li Hong was stunned, he didn't seem to think that Wu Meiniang would ask him about this, and when he came back to the political hall, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Erchen thinks that if it is named Fozhou, it still sounds like it has something to do with the Buddha's death country, will it make the local people miss the old country, that place was brought down by merchants, why not call it Shangzhou." ”

Wu Meiniang hummed softly.

Hao Chujun immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the prince is very right, this is our inconsiderate, Shangzhou should be more suitable." ”

Zhang Wenguan and Liu Xiangdao also echoed it, and even Han Yi and Cui Jijian also agreed.

After all, this is the prince's first suggestion, so you have to give some face, and what the prince said is quite reasonable.

Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered a few times, and she nodded: "I also think the prince's suggestion is more appropriate, that is, it is called Shangzhou." ”

Han Yi glanced at Wu Meiniang slightly, thinking to herself, under such grief, she was able to keep her head clear and make the most beneficial decision, which was really amazing! This may also be where I am inferior to her.

Although it was just a name, it made Li Hong feel very happy, and his confidence also improved, and he glanced at Wu Meiniang with a little gratitude.

Wu Meiniang nodded to him slightly, and said: "In addition, it was Shang Shuling's proposal to build a wine industry and a canned food industry in Yuanzhou and Shangzhou, I don't know if Shang Shuling has a specific way to make some merchants in my Central Plains go there to build workshops?" ”

Han Yi said: "If you canned it, it is very easy, and you don't need to worry about it from the imperial court, and those fruit merchants will naturally try their best to invite the Xiaopang Group to set up a workshop over there." The key is that if the wine merchants go there to build a workshop and then transport it back to the Central Plains, the cost will increase a lot, and the first thing the imperial court should do is to increase the cost of the Central Plains wine merchants, and at the same time reduce the cost of wine making in Yuanzhou and Shangzhou. ”

Wu Meiniang asked, "If the cost increases?" ”

Han Yi said: "The imperial court can send a message first, and will increase the stamp duty on winemaking in some narrow townships at the next stamp duty revision meeting to ensure that the price of grain does not rise due to winemaking, and at the same time exempt all liquor taxes in Yuanzhou and Shangzhou, and merchants are willing to go there to make wine, and the court will directly allocate land to them." According to the statistics of our tax bureau, the stamp duty on wine is increasing, which proves that the consumption of wine is further increasing, especially in the narrow rural areas, because the people in the narrow rural areas have become richer, and the wine market in these places will further increase, so the price of wine will also rise accordingly, and the grain in Nanhai Province is far cheaper than that of the Central Plains, coupled with the continuous increase of cargo ships, the profits of wine making there are very considerable. ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "Although Shang Shuling is very thoughtful, but since ancient times, many dynasties have banned alcohol because of the problem of food, but the more alcohol is banned, the more the price of wine rises, and more wine is made, which may breed smugglers. ”

Cui Jijian said: "I also think that for the time being, don't release the news, you can hold a meeting with the wine merchants to discuss it first, and at the same time put pressure on them, so that the big wine merchants can't raise prices under the pretext of raising prices, as long as the big wine merchants don't raise prices, those small wine merchants can't rise either." ”

Wu Meiniang asked Li Hong again, "What advice does the prince have?" ”

Li Hong shook his head.

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Then let's decide." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and said: "In addition, there is a high probability that war will break out on the Khitan side, which may affect Shandong and Lelang Prefecture and other regions, and the imperial court must send an order to the local assassins, so that they can prepare as soon as possible to avoid the war from disturbing the people of the Central Plains, and let all the goods in Lelang Prefecture temporarily go by water." ”

Liu Xiang said: "When the minister goes back, he will draft an edict. ”

I have to say that Wu Meiniang's administrative ability is very good, and in just this half a day, she has dealt with all the squeezed chapters.

Zhang Wenguan and the others suddenly felt that with Wu Meiniang here, they were all very relaxed.

Not only that, but they also felt guilty, because during the whole meeting, Wu Meiniang never smiled, it can be seen that Wu Meiniang did not come out of her grief, a woman, suffering such a great grief, has to come to work, this is indeed a bit cruel.

After the regular meeting, everyone immediately went to their respective government offices to arrange tasks.

Han Yi was no exception, he came to the household department and informed Zhang Daxiang of the task, mainly to ask the household department to investigate the situation of the wine industry, and to help him make an appointment with Qian Dafang and other wine merchants.

"I see!" Zhang Daxiang nodded, sighed again, and said, "It seems that the court is really inseparable from the queen now!" ”

Han Yi glanced at him and said, "I said that you are really strange, you are very generous in other things, but you have a grudge against the queen." ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "You can't blame me for this, you know about the first few purges, almost every time I stood on the cliff." Speaking of this, he looked at Han Yi again and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have ...... at this time." ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, he has always been good at comforting people, but he was really stumped by Zhang Daxiang.

was bitten by a snake this time, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and Zhang Daxiang was bitten several times, so no matter how well Wu Meiniang behaved, he was resolutely against Wu Meiniang, of course, he would only confide in Han Yi, because he didn't think Han Yi was on Wu Meiniang's side.

In fact, Zhang Daxiang was quite helpless in his heart, Wu Meiniang was just like the tumbler, swaying left and right, changing someone else's words, I don't know how many times she died, Wu Meiniang couldn't die, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "There is something, I want to talk to you." ”

Han Yi said: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "Recently, there has been turmoil on the Khitan side, and we may also send troops, so I went to check the accounts of the treasury and found that our treasury has not yet recovered to before the crisis." Although since the promulgation of stamp duty, taxes are increasing, but in recent years, treasury expenditures have also been increasing, resulting in inventory is not increasing but decreasing, in case of any accidents, we can not take too many reserves to deal with. ”

Han Yi's eyes flickered a few times, and he smiled: "What can be the accident." Besides, you have to change your old mindset and don't keep staring at the accounts. ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "What do we look at if we don't look at the accounts? ”

"Of course, it's the data!" Han Yi said: "The productivity of our country is increasing day by day, that is to say, the wealth in the country is increasing, and it must be somewhere else if it is not in the treasury, but it doesn't matter where it is, as long as it is in my Datang." ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "You can't say that, if the money is in the hands of the people, when the country wants to use the money, it can only ask the people, which will cause resentment among the people, and only when the treasury is full, can the state avoid raising taxes on the people." ”

Han Yi said: "Then you don't want to think about it, if the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the relatives of the emperor and the country, look at the mountains of gold and silver piled up in the treasury every day, as if they can't use up, isn't this seducing them to commit crimes, they will try their best to use the money, this money is meaningless in the treasury, it is better to use it for national development." This is actually a kind of investment, only if the country develops well, the people become more anxious and richer, and the sources of tax revenue will become more, and then there will be fine wine, and there will be mutton, which is not to worry at all. ”

Zhang Daxiang and Han Yi are two typical financial management ideas, Zhang Daxiang is born with a sense of security, this is true in any aspect, only more deposits will make him feel secure, but Han Yi thinks that saving money is stupid, this money is not stupid and what is it, you have to use it to make more money.

Han Yi is the boss, so of course it is to take the route of Han Yi.

In the evening.

When Han Yi returned home, he found Yuan Peony lying on a rattan chair, his eyes closed, and Han Rui stood behind him, with a pair of extremely beautiful hands, helping Yuan Peony pinch his shoulders.

Han Yi deliberately slowed down, but was still discovered by Han Rui, Han Yi hurriedly gestured to tell her to be silent first, and then lightly walked behind Yuan Peony and waved at Han Rui.

Han Rui smiled secretly and slowly stepped back, the father and daughter cooperated quite tacitly.

Han Yi quietly stretched out his hand and continued to help Yuan Peony pinch his shoulder.

Han Rui covered her small mouth, snickering, and quietly left the lobby, she has always been well-behaved, but she will not disturb her parents' affection.

"It's back!"

As soon as Han Rui left, Yuan Peony opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Han Yi with a smile.

Han Yi immediately said depressedly: "It turns out that you already knew, it's really boring." ”

"With your clumsy skills, I know when you enter the house." Yuan Peony said with a smile.

Han Yi suddenly lowered his head, kissed Yuan Peony's lips, and said with some distress: "It's just work, I can't make myself tired like this." ”

Yuan Peony suddenly said excitedly: "This is all to make the group of academicians of your Sage Sixth Academy angry. ”

Han Yi was immediately angry and said, "They dare to make you angry? If you tell whoever it is, I'll fire him immediately. ”

The corners of Yuan Peony's mouth twitched, and he said, "All." ”

"All...... All, this ...... You also leave Mr. Yun to me! Han Yi said depressedly.

Yuan Peony sat up suddenly, and said: "Now that Yun Xiu has developed a steam engine, it stands to reason that it should be able to develop a steam engine for coal mines soon, I asked Yuan Xiu to go and investigate the process today, but do you know what they are doing?" ”

Han Yi thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be testing the stability of the boiler now." ”

Yuan Peony looked at Han Yi in surprise and said, "How do you know?" ”

Han Yi said: "Because this is the task we set for the first meeting. ”

Yuan Mudandai frowned and said: "The boilers are all made of steel, how can they be easily damaged, Yunxiu's steam engines have all run from Yangzhou to Chang'an, and there is no problem, but now they are taking our money to produce all kinds of boilers of different sizes and shapes, and test what safety, I really can't understand it, now businessmen are looking forward to steam engines." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Madam, the safety issue cannot be ignored, because in the future, the steam engine will be used in the workshop, and the workshop type people are very concentrated, once there is any accident, the consequences will be unimaginable." Moreover, the steam engine was an unprecedented machine, and every component had to be very precise, so it had to be equipped with a complete system. ”

Yuan Peony asked, "What system?" ”

She couldn't understand what the machine had to do with the system.

Han Yi said: "If we blindly produce a batch of steam engines now, what if it breaks?" ”

"If it's broken, fix it!"

"It's repaired and broken?"

"You're using strong words."

"I'm not trying to make sense." Han Yi shook his head and said: "The steam engine is very expensive, and the cost of repairing it is not low, if the steam engine breaks down after a few uses, or if there is a dangerous explosion, it is actually meaningless." Therefore, we decided to develop a set of rules for the use of steam engines when we developed them. How to use, it will not be easily broken, it can be used for a longer time, how to maintain, it will not be easily broken, and how to design, it can be convenient to repair it yourself, if only the professionals of the Sixth Academy of the Sage will repair it, then if there is an accident on the river in Yangzhou, it is impossible to go to Chang'an to ask the people of the Sixth Academy of the Sage to repair it. Yes, you may think that we are in trouble now, but our trouble is for your convenience in the future, and it is very necessary. It is also worthy of every penny you donate. ”

Yuan Peony pondered for a while, and said: "Even so, your Sage Sixth Academy still requires us to produce steel, which must be standardized, what thickness and length, must be standardized, and the requirements are very strict, I sometimes really don't understand, it is us who pays the money, or the Sage Sixth Academy." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Madam, you also know that steel is the future, that is to say, the use of steel in the future will become very wide, standardization is only troublesome at this time, but it can bring a lot of convenience to the future." And we're the trailblazers, so why don't we make it better, and, at the end of the day, it's not a problem, it's just a habit. ”

In fact, when Yun Xiu was in research and development, he already had a complete set of research and development standards, otherwise, Yun Xiu might have been blown up long ago.

And to produce a large number of steam engines, it is not a single problem, and Yunxiu research and development of steam engines is two different things, Yunxiu this steam engine, with superhuman wisdom, and craftsmen so skillful, but mass production is definitely not good, this is to the entire industrial system of support, especially the steel manufacturing industry.

After all these years of development, as well as the technical support of the Sixth Academy of the Sage, the smelter has made a great breakthrough, you must know that the Sixth Academy of the Sage has been studying this steelmaking furnace ten years ago, and it has never been broken, and it is studying with those advanced theories of Han Yi.

In fact, this is all planned by Han Yi a long time ago, before the steam engine comes out, there must be an industrial supporting system, otherwise, it will not be able to produce in large quantities, but he is using business to quietly develop this industrial system, like an assembly line, like hydraulic power, like threads, gears, pulleys, levers, like mathematics, like engineering.

In fact, Datang already has a certain industrial technology base, but it has not been put on the table, because it is not needed, at most it is to produce some chains, those Jiupin academicians have been studying the six sages every day over the years, although they are very interested, but they don't know where this knowledge can be used, such as mathematics, there is no commodity nowadays, and such accurate data is needed.

And the emergence of the steam engine, so that these knowledge have a place, because those Jiupin academicians suddenly found that the knowledge they learned is so useful, when they encounter a problem with the steam engine, the corresponding knowledge immediately appears in their heads, this feeling is really wonderful, so they are fanatical about the research and development of the steam engine, not to say to make money, and really have a great interest, they can't wait to use all the knowledge, resulting in this specification becoming more and more detailed, including the shape of the boiler, They are all using their knowledge to think about what shape is easy to manufacture and the most efficient.

Yuan Peony listened thoughtfully, and felt that what Han Yi said was also very reasonable, if the steam motor does not move, it will be broken, and you have to ask someone to repair it at every turn, and it is not pleasant to use, and the steel standards should also be formulated, otherwise, everyone will ask for something different, this will be more troublesome, if they customize a few sets of standards by themselves, then when designing products, they will first take into account their standards, and do not need to ask for them, which is indeed very beneficial to the Yuan family's steel plant, said: " You're right, I'm a little anxious. ”

Han Yi smiled: "I can completely understand, after all, the steam engine will change everything, and everyone hopes to be able to use the steam engine as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Peony smiled and nodded.

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, there was a humanity outside the hall.

Han Yi looked back and saw Xiao Wuyi and Yang Feixue walking in.

He hurriedly went up, forcibly squeezed in the middle, put one in his arms, and asked, "Why did the two ladies come back so late?" ”

Xiao Wuyi sighed faintly: "It's not to discuss the textbooks of the women's university. I'm so tired, Blizzard, oh. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Feixue looked at Xiao Wuyi with a stunned expression.

Han Yi laughed and said, "Feixue, you are too uncooperative with other people's clothes, you are tired, husband and I am most distressed, so can I not help?" ”

Yang Feixue suddenly realized that she couldn't help but smile shamefully.

"You're smart."

Xiao Wuyi glanced at her charmingly, and took the initiative to hold Han Yi's hand, and said, "Then can you help us with this?" You're the founder of the Six Sages, and I know you've got a few hands left. ”

Han Yi looked at Yang Feixue and said, "Feixue, why don't you cooperate, you hold my hand!" ”

"You're ......!"

Yang Feixue had a red lip, frowned, and looked at Han Yi with three points of blame.

Han Yi laughed, took the initiative to hug her, and then looked at Yuan Peony and said, "Peony, do you have anything to ask of me?" ”

Yuan Peony desperately held back a smile and shook his head.

Han Yi nodded and said, "No problem, but I will only give you one day, you must be fully prepared, and then ask me to give you a few words." ”

Xiao Wuyi immediately said dissatisfied: "One day? That's a little too little. ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Do you think that your husband still hides a lot, just one day's content, if there is more, it may be exposed, I have to maintain the image of the founder." ”

Yang Feixue pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and said, "I really don't know which of your sentences is true and which is false." ”

Han Yi laughed and said: "Caring about the truth and falsehood is the most boring thing. ”

While speaking, he sat on the sofa with the two beautiful women in his arms, and said: "Originally, I wanted to take a long vacation, our family went to the manor for a vacation, relax and relax, our family needs to rest, but at present, it seems that it is not possible." ”

Xiao Wuyi said: "Is it because of the Khitan side?" ”

Han Yi nodded.

Yuan Peony said: "To be honest, the northwest is developing very well, and the Khitan side should also implement the northwest system." ”

Han Yi said: "As a businessman, you naturally think it's good, but those chiefs don't think so. ”

Xiao Wuyi asked, "Will there be a fight?" ”

Han Yi shook his head and said: "It's not clear, but I hope to fight early, hanging here, it's not easy to arrange a holiday." ”

Yuan Peony cried and laughed: "Something so big happened, you still want to take a vacation?" ”

Han Yi said with a depressed face: "I'm really not good at sweet words, the main thing is that you are too bad, and you always tempt me to say that sentence, okay, I'll say it again, what is more important in this world than you!" ”

"Phew!"

The three beauties immediately sat down opposite!
