Chapter 142: Burning Dangqiang (2700 words)
Zhong Xuan looked at such a scene happily with his hands in his sleeves, Meng Jin Dazhi, and the people's hearts are available!
Xun Yu beside him slowly walked to him with a feather fan: "This is the grand occasion that the Han monarch has never had, who would have thought that the eight-year-old young master could do this?" ”
"Ganluo is twelve and worships the prime minister, and Confucius is a seven-year-old prodigy Xiang Lu." Zhong Xuan said with a smile: "The lord has decided to set the world first, and eight hundred miles of Luochuan is enough to toss before the lord becomes the prince." ”
"We still have to plan this matter in advance," Xun You said with a serious expression: "Although the situation is very good now, but if you are not a prince, how to change is still too big after all." The lord doesn't seem to care very much, but the way to be a minister is to share the worries of the lord and plan this matter early! ”
"Hmm." Zhong Xuan thought so.
In the Han family, when he became the crown prince, he had great rights, and he could be allowed to have a team similar to the imperial court, as well as a fief under the jurisdiction of the prince, and a certain amount of regular army.
Only in this way can the scholars of the Han family dare to really bet, and the primogeniture inheritance system makes the scholars of the Han family be devoted to Liu Bian, but after the disaster of the party, there is no longer that long-sighted thing that dares to meddle in the imperial power, which has almost become an iron law, and those who meddle die!
Therefore, no one went to the table without opening their eyes and asked Liu Wei to be appointed as the prince.
But once He Guiren's queen canonization is completed, it will inevitably stir the nerves of many people.
And Liu Debate also needs the support of different forces, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, Liu Debate is reforming and not overturning everything and changing the day.
"Your Highness, there are not only such large keel waterwheels, but also small ones." Bi Lan said.
"Oh?" Of course, Liu Wei knew that there was a small keel waterwheel, which could be easily moved and used for watering those rough terrains.
But in Liu's budget, the most of this year's budget is to support the installation of large keel waterwheels, and the bulk of the expenditure is on hoarding grain and experimenting with new farming methods. These years can be said to be the last calm before the storm, and both the subsequent drought and the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion caused irreparable damage to the foundations of the Han Dynasty. In the year after Liu Hong's death, it entered a stormy era, the rebellion between the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin, the group of heroes fought against Dong and the princes, and every inch of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty was plowed through the war, from the south of the world to the north of the earth.
If you want to pacify the civil unrest and restore order, food is the key thing, and in times of war, food is money and food is life.
"Our Shaofu is willing to rent ten small water wheels to the people, of course, the people want to buy, and our family is also willing to give discounts."
Bi Lan has been helpless recently, Liu Hong's extravagant "spending money" has a posture of going in and out, which makes Bi Lan unbearable, and his frequent stretching out his hand makes Bi Lan have to not let go of any opportunity to make money.
"Lending?" Liu Wei nodded, although it was not a few gifts as he thought, but this was a very good idea, the people could keep the land on the mountain with a little money, and the Shaofu could also extract profits from it, which was the best of both worlds.
"Then I will thank Bi Gong for the people of Mengjin." Liu Wei arched his hand.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be a ......" Bi Lan hurriedly returned the salute.
Liu Wei asked people to summon Zhong Xuan, and after some communication, Zhong Xuan couldn't help but high-five and laughed: "This plan is very good, although Mengjin is on the side of the big river, but to the north is Wangwu Taihang, to the west is the Three Gorges of the big river, and the people in these places are deeply affected by watering." ”
Liu Wei touched his chin and nodded: "This method is very good, and it should be used by the fathers and elders in the whole pass." ”
"Your Highness, there is no hurry, there is no hurry." Xun You walked over and dissuaded: "It won't be long before such a sharp weapon will become famous all over the world!" When the time comes, it will be pushed to the next level, and I am too anxious for fear of becoming a harsh government. ”
Liu Wei has some understanding that the urine of the bureaucratic class, even if it is a good thing, will become a bad thing. A good hand will also play four two-belt king fried first. Take a look at Wang Anshi's reforms, the New Party's Horse Protection Law and the Green Seedling Law. In February and May of each year, when the harvest is not good, the government gives the peasants loans and grain loans, and takes two or three cents of interest every six months, which are repaid along with the summer and autumn taxes respectively. The original horse husbandry supervision by the government was changed to the horse breeding by Baojia households. Households that voluntarily raise horses can be given by the government to supervise horses or pay money to buy them themselves, and can be exempted from part of the tax.
Although the new party has gained power in the court, the old party is still a huge force in the local area, and the emperor listens to you, then I will mess up the local area and make the emperor have to stop these policies.
These were voluntary policies, but the old party directly implemented them as compulsory loans! Even if you don't need it, force you to borrow it! Isn't the interest two or three points? Then I'll raise it to five or six points! In the later period, even the people of Kaifeng City broke their wrists in order to escape the armor.
Those bureaucrats in other areas of Guanzhong, who do not belong to Liu Wei's heart, may force the people to rent in order to make money!
In this way, not only will the burden on the people not be lightened, but it will be increased.
When the people saw that things were good, they were willing to borrow and ask to borrow, and the county lord couldn't ignore the voice of his rule, after all, Guanzhong was full of families, and how many could the small county officials afford to offend?
Then, the waterwheel and policy have become a good card for Liu Wei to win them over.
"Sir's words are very true, very true!" Liu Weimei smiled: "I don't know what Bi Gongyi will do?" ”
"Quack, there is no problem with Shaofu." The size of Shaofu can beat the ten streets of Liu Wei's paper workshop, and as a specialized government-run institution, Shaofu controls the country's serving prisoners, all of whom are laborers who do not need money.
Bi Lan glanced at Xun You and Zhong Xuan with some appreciation, as soon as he proposed a convenience, Liu Bian's retainers sensitively thought of relaying this matter as a policy to expand to the whole pass, and the other person immediately checked and filled in the gaps, tried his best to advise, Liu Wei also gladly accepted the advice, this is exactly the famous monarch and famous minister that the literati and ink writers imagined, at least have that potential.
"Then Bi Gong and Mr. Yuan Chang will discuss the specific amount of rental." Ordinary people will inevitably not be able to afford much to rent a water wheel, but they can also share a house, just like renting a harvester now, which is a better business.
"No!"
The old beggar and Niu Jin sat beside the car, holding the flatbread in their hands and devouring it, just now they were all let go to help with the work, and when they were done, they also gave them food to eat intimately.
The old beggar watched with mixed thoughts, and the huge and slender "monster" was trampled by two children laughing, and with the sound of rattling, the river was drawn from the river and poured into the channel.
"Is this Luban's trick?" The old beggar muttered to himself.
"People say that the great eunuch in the palace invented it, hey, if there was such a thing that year, the family would not starve to death......"
"Who is Luban?" Niu Jin asked ignorantly.
The dog on the side laughed: "I don't know, everyone who is a carpenter takes Lu Ban as his grandfather." I heard that the woodbird made by Luban can fly! I don't know if it's the carpenters bragging. ”
"Fly?" Maverick Gold's eyes were full of longing.
"Of course you can fly, it's just that the method is lost, but I know it." A man accosted.
"Do you know how to fly?" The old beggar was shocked and quickly turned his head to see who was speaking. As a Taoist priest, he has always believed that there is a fairy mountain in OOCL, but he can't reach it across the sea, and if anyone can fly, the world will shake, and all the monks and Taoist priests in the world will do their best to get this method, in order to go to the fairy mountain to get the elixir.
"Of course!" Liu Wei smiled and said, airplanes, gliders, hot air balloons, human beings have not stopped exploring the unknown in the future, and these things that can fly into the sky so that people can fly like birds have all seen it, and if they have seen it, they can slowly simulate what to do in the first place, which is equivalent to getting the method.
The old beggar Zixu looked back, isn't this His Royal Highness the Prince? The old beggar swallowed the words he wanted to ask, and shouted that the grass people should die, and knelt down there, burying his head deeply.
The other children hurriedly learned from the old beggar to salute Liu Wei, even Niu Jin.
"Get up!"
"Your Highness." The old beggar Zixu stood up a little stiffly, and the little beggars next to him also leaned on the old beggar and lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"To tell the truth, if the kidnapping and looting of rich merchants in Luoyang City falls into the hands of others, you will definitely be dead." Liu Wei looked at them with some pity, they were all poor people who couldn't eat. And they are children, if they don't steal or rob, how can they survive?
Liu Wei said the final verdict: "But Nian repented halfway through, and there were no casualties, and most of them were children, so I won't pursue it to the end." ”
The Chinese law clearly stipulates the age of criminal responsibility: "under the age of 8...... "That is, no one under the age of 8 will be punished unless he kills with his own hands."
Some of them were over eight years old, but there was no adverse effect, and Liu decided to pardon them.
"You have two choices now, one is that you are free to go to your family, and second, if you feel that this kind of life is good, continue to follow me, and at the same time help to do something, I will also let people teach you."
All the beggars glanced at each other, their eyes were full of excitement, and they followed the prince of the dynasty! Who will also choose this answer.
A group of beggars knelt down and said: "We all have no father or mother, we are already orphans, and we just ask Your Highness to take us in!" ”
Only Niu Jin still grabbed the old beggar's purple clothes: "I will go wherever you go." ”
The old beggar touched Niu Jin's head, and the years of the same life came to his mind again, he slowly opened Niu Jin's hand holding the corner of his clothes, smiled and took out a bracelet and hairpin from his pocket, and offered it with both hands: "The old man is already old, and he can only be a burden to stay, but this child has infinite strength since he was a child, and his talent is different. ”
