Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nothing to Do with Fireworks
The fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve are very attractive, and at least the cattle with a sensitive sense of business are thinking that they can get fireworks from the observation envoys. As for how the fireworks were made, of course, they also wanted to know, but it was clear that the observation made the adults not give them this chance.
"Ah Lang, would you like to put the fireworks again? The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a good day. ”
"Please, Aaron......"
"The New Year is lively, so you should set off some fireworks to have fun with the people."
Rejoicing with the people? Day? You're fucking big! Lao Tzu still has to build roads!
Ignoring the wayward demands of a group of idiot women who only pursue "good things", Lao Zhang will sit in the southern area of Wuhan in the first month and build a new official road to Puqi County.
This road has been used, but it can only meet the needs of two carriages in parallel, and because the old official road is quite narrow, it is better to use a carriage directly than a horse, or even a wheelbarrow.
But this is an important road into Yuezhou, especially the Dongting Lake area, and it will not work without repairing it. After more than two years, Puqi County is also obedient as a dog, Wuhan says how to get it, but it is also smooth, and it borders Yuezhou.
Cultivating to Yuezhou, Lao Zhang naturally had this will, but unfortunately, he didn't dare.
The Dongting Lake is also a grain-producing area, because of the "enclosure and farming" plan proposed by Zhang De that year, a large number of rice fields have been added to the Yangtze River, whether it is Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake or Taihu Lake. The effect of increasing grain production is extremely obvious, and in the two to three years after a large amount of forced labor, the localities that have basically carried out "enclosing polders to create farmland" have completely recovered their costs.
Yuezhou Yang Sili's idea is also simple, "For the sake of the old man's father Yang Gongren's face", virtuous nephew, give face.
Of course, Lao Zhang, who is about to stand up, will not think that if you are surnamed Yang, I will have to give face, but the boundary of Yuezhou is quite good as a grain base. With the rapid rise of Wuhan's urban population, or more precisely, the non-agricultural population, not to mention whether these non-agricultural populations are counted as populations or just livestock, but as a member of the traditional Chinese government bureaucracy, it is a very serious matter to manage the food of every mouth on one acre and three points of land.
Lao Zhang, who has to be serious, cannot really let most of Wuhan's land be cultivated, and the situation of extensive planting and thin harvest, as well as the explosive increase in the output of local cultivated land, cannot fully meet the cycle of production activities in one jurisdiction.
Therefore, just as the livestock of the workshop are eyeing Yongxing coal and iron, they are also eyeing the beautiful natural scenery of "Yuguanfu Baling Shengzhi".
The owner of the factory proposed that it is necessary to develop scientifically, not to take the road of "pollution first and then treatment", to protect the environment, and to return a piece of blue sky and green water to the people in the Dongting Lake area.
Let's go farming.
As a result, with the further expansion of industry and commerce in Wuhan, the wealth gap between the urban citizen class is no longer ten times that can be compared. This led to a very serious situation, where a large number of Yuezhou women married into Wuhan.
It even happens from time to time that there is not only green water around Dongting Lake, but also green hats......
It only took three years for the old king next door to become the Wuhan guy next door and must die.
The simple cognition is quite simple and rude, so the people of Yuezhou who have been in Zhenguan for 16 years also clearly understand the so-called "no work, no wealth".
However, it is very expensive to repair roads and wharves, and the high-quality engineering teams that can repair roads and wharves are all in Wuhan. It's a lot of money.
It is not the people of Wuhan who raise the cost of infrastructure, but the people of Chang'an, Luoyang, Dunhuang, and Yangzhou...... All treaty ports or megacities have such problems.
But for Yuezhou Lao Tie, who hates cuckolds, what price is there to talk about at this time, and the people of Yuezhou welcome the rise in oil prices...... No, welcome the rising cost of infrastructure.
A conscientious Yuezhou intellectual, flipped through an article from the pile of old papers, and then said: Zi once said that if you are poor, you will think about change.
Zi said: I didn't say it, it was said by King Wen of Zhou.
In the spring of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the road in Puqi County was repaired to the end, and at the other end, the grain carried by horses and mules stretched out for one or two miles. Selling Chang'an to make too little money, and you have to compete with Guanzhong Lao Tie, and it's better to cut each other if you don't do it well.
There is only one Haonan brother's routine in the entire Suzaku Street, and he can't play anymore.
Zhang De ignored the spontaneous industrial and trade investment in the prefectures around Dongting Lake, as well as in Jingzhou and Xiazhou in Jiangbei.
After all, as the first bastard to throw stones in the pond of calm, it was really beyond his control where the ripples could rise and fall.
Wuhan's industrial and commercial activities had an extremely obvious double exploitation, not only the barbaric plundering of raw materials and basic labor force in the "Fanbang" outside the Tang Dynasty, but also the bloody exploitation of small farmers, small propertied people, and slave laborers at home.
However, just as the ancients summed up the astonishing truth that "mercy is not in charge of soldiers and righteousness is not in charge of wealth", Lao Zhang is also unable to transfer this kind of social behavior that is not under his control.
Even before the illegal crossing, as an engineering dog, it was because it was in a period when "industry fed agriculture" just now, and before that, agriculture had no bottom line to support industry for half a century.
The difference between industry and agriculture does not only exist in advanced industrial countries versus backward agricultural countries, but also exists in the relatively complex industrial countries themselves.
And after the illegal crossing, Lao Zhang, he was in a glorious feudal empire on the rise, but the empire was made up of people. Moreover, as a member of the powerful, Lao Zhang has never been afraid to judge the actual conduct of these real magnates with the worst speculation.
It is probably as difficult to expect the traditional feudal social morality to penetrate into industrial production activities as it is to prevent the bald heads from shining light on their fellow women. The worst of all is the difficulty of stopping the priest from playing with the little boy or getting the Cultists of the Sheep Cult not to the sheep.
As a political entity, Datang has a vast territory and a vast population with many ethnic groups, but when subdivided, because of a certain engineering dog, the entire Datang is divided into a strange economy.
As an economy, Wuhan is more advanced, developed and creates a lot of value than the Dongting Lake or Jingzhou.
So no matter how Wuhan is named the very universal moral value of the Tang Dynasty, Wuhan's exploitation of the Dongting Lake is objectively and naturally unstoppable.
And Lao Zhang only built a road, built a few bridges, dug a few ditches, and built a few ponds and dams with the granular gunpowder used fireworks to set off fireworks......
As for the old irons around Dongting Lake, they gritted their teeth at the green hats, and if they want to kill the Wuhan Yankees next door, this will return to the very universal morality of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, Lao Zhang is very confident at this point, which has nothing to do with him.
