Chapter 177: Yielding Against the Heavens

The first batch of glass was snatched up, of course, the only ones who could afford this 'expensive' glass were those who were dignitaries and dignitaries, and the glass was still beyond the reach of the ordinary people.

However, there is one thing that is inexpensive and affordable for everyone, and that is the folding fan.

I don't know when it began, the folding fan has become the standard configuration of the people of Luoyang City. Especially in the night market, it seems that if you don't bring a folding fan to the night market, it looks cold, this thing is simple to make, and imitations have appeared on the market.

Even so, the folding fans of the glasses shop are still in short supply, and Zhu Youneng is really sleeping in the pile of money.

Unfortunately, in ancient times, economic power was not always indicative of military power. Many times the military is very weak, such as the economically strong Song Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness is quite low.

Therefore, Li Ji cannot only focus on the economy and ignore the military.

In this era, the military is the first and most important thing.

Ming'an Palace,

Han E hung his head, and Li Ji was more satisfied.

"Old Han, you mean the corn is ripe?"

Han E said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Okay, tomorrow I will go with me to harvest corn."

Three hundred acres of land, corn has reached maturity. Li Ji didn't say hello, and walked again.

Hanyuan Hall fried the pot again, and the ministers fried again.

Cui Yuan, Wang Pu, they were born to watch the excitement and not think it was a big deal. And some officials always regard adding blockages to the Son of Heaven as their life's work, as if the emperor can't show his ability without saying a few words.

"The state affairs are heavy, where has Your Majesty gone?" Cui Yuan asked.

"How can this be reasonable, what time has it been, Your Majesty is still so slack." Wang Pu echoed.

The person who asked shrank back, because the prime minister in front of Cui Yuan was alone. You can muddy the waters, but you don't plan to be a bird, and someone bigger than your official position will do it.

provoked the Son of Heaven, the prime minister could bear it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Dugu also knew what their purpose was, but as the prime minister and the head of the ministers, he had to make a statement.

Dugu had no choice but to say: "Wait a little longer, if Your Majesty doesn't come to the court, I can't say that the old minister has to break into the palace again."

They like to scare the emperor, and they can be called the emperor faction.

Kong Lin, who is also the prime minister, is much more low-key, he and Pei Shu and Fan Yao belong to the royalist faction, and they basically do not object to what Li Ji does. Because these people know the emperor's ability, there will always be nothing wrong with what Li Ji recognizes.

Zhang Wenwei was a little wavering, he wanted to follow Li Ji and let the emperor do whatever he wanted. But I want to be a clean official who is as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror, and will go down in history with my name.

Zhang Wenwei pays more attention to his reputation, and he wants to leave a name in history. So as long as Li Ji doesn't ask for money, he will die.

Although the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty was dilapidated, the emperor wanted to expand the palace or use it for personal use. Zhang Wenwei is in one sentence, the treasury has no money, and there is no money to kill my head. Money is for the people, for the soldiers.

If you want to fight, then Zhang Wenwei has money and food. You Li Ji give as much as you want, but if the emperor uses it privately, no, not a penny.

In this way, the historians will leave such a mark in the history books, Zhang Wenwei is straightforward and brave to admonish, if the emperor is extravagant, he will not be allowed. If war breaks out, there is no end to money and food.

Zhang Wenwei also knew that he had this capital, and for the sake of his daughter's face, the emperor would not cut off his own head. It is because he has no fear and is very harsh to Li Ji.

But what made him depressed was that the household department didn't give money, and Li Ji didn't seem to worry about money, he always had his own way to get money and food, and it was money that couldn't be used.

They finally waited, but it was not Li Ji who came, but the dead eunuch Sun Youwei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has a decree, the dynasty is not here in the Hanyuan Hall this morning, please move to other places with the slaves and maids."

The ministers looked at each other, since the previous dynasty was in this Hanyuan Palace, why did they move elsewhere today?

"Sun Neishi, where are we going?" Zhao Zhanguo couldn't help but ask.

Youwei learned to sell Guanzi: "Ladies and gentlemen, out of the palace, outside the palace."

The first time I heard that the special court was going to go outside the palace, the ministers were not happy.

Dugu was furious: "The old minister is not going anywhere, just waiting in this Hanyuan Palace!"

Threat? It's not good, Youwei seems to have expected this for a long time. He nodded to the guards outside the hall, and immediately walked into the two tall guards, set up Dugu and walked out.

The ministers were shocked, this is the same as making a fuss.

"Let go of me, Lao Chen is not going anywhere! I'm going to wait for Your Majesty, let me go! With the shouts of Dugu Loss, the ministers looked at each other.

Youwei glanced at everyone: "If anyone else doesn't want to go, the guards outside will take you away." These Majesty's wills, the early dynasty outside the palace, dare to disobey, the guards bind them! ”

It's so embarrassing, if this is carried out by the guards outside the palace, where will these people's old faces go. Dugu is already the first, and no one wants to be the second.

Then let's go, along the way, the ministers came to the outside of the palace under the escort of the guards.

Only then did they realize that the place they came from was the land of King Guang's Mansion.

"Isn't this the strange crops planted by Zhu Ergongzi?" Someone recognized it.

Someone else pointed to the green patch: "Look, corn!"

They had eaten corn at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and it was indeed very fragrant.

"So, what are we doing here?"

In the midst of the noise, a team of guards in front of him was waiting, and one of the stars holding the moon was Li Ji.

The ministers followed and walked over, and Li Ji was watching Han E and them harvest corn, and when he heard footsteps, he turned around.

There was a dragon collapse on the ground, and Li Ji sat there leisurely, with a royal table in front of him, and a pot of tea was poured on it. Damn, that tea set is still a glass tea set from Xishan.

Dugu was the most embarrassed, and he was put up by the guards.

Li Ji seemed to have expected it, he didn't speak, just looked at Dugu and smiled.

Dugu was furious: "Your Majesty, this is an early dynasty, why did you let your ministers come to this wilderness and remote place." The Son of Heaven is majestic all over the world, how can Your Majesty be so childish. ”

"The people take food as the sky, so why is it wrong for me to move this early dynasty to this field today?" Li Ji said lightly.

There was a lonely bird, Cui Yuan followed and said angrily: "Your Majesty should focus on government affairs, this farming and grain harvesting is done by the untouchables, how can Your Majesty humiliate the ministers and others."

Li Ji put the teacup heavily on the table: "What is a pariah!" What would you eat without these people? I have called you here today to let you experience the noon of this hoeing day, and the sweat drops of the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is the taste of hard work. ”

"This," the ministers made an uproar, let's farm?

Li Ji stood up and pointed to the cornfield in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, your task today is to harvest the corn of this acre of land for me. If you can't finish it, no one will want to retreat! ”

With a 'hula', a group of guards pulled yellow silk and enclosed this acre square corn field, waiting for the ministers to harvest the corn.

The ministers looked at each other, the emperor is crazy, how can there be such a toss.

I only heard Li Ji say again: "You are all Tang Dynasty Zhuchen, you usually come to stretch out your hands with clothes and open your mouths with food." Have any of you ever experienced the suffering of the people? I will give you a taste of this ploughing in a few days. Only by experiencing it for yourself do you know the suffering of the people. Come on, I'll break corn with you! ”

Saying that, Li Ji took the sickle and went to the ground, and cut down a piece of corn with one knife: "Kong Lin, Pei Shu, a few of you come over and help me break off this corn, peel off the coat, and put it in a sack!"

The emperor is crazy, but mad is crazy. The Son of Heaven has personally done it, and the reason is so sufficient, do you experience the suffering of the people? The ministers could not argue about anything, so the scribes with pens and poles bent down one by one and began to break the corn.

Slowly, everyone began to realize that something was wrong, and the corn yield was ......

Although most of the ministers here are industrious and indistinguishable, this output is too against the sky.

Ju "Zizhi Tongjian" contains "Yuan Hezhong, Zhenwu reclamation field 4,800 hectares, grain harvest more than 400,000 hu". There is also "New Tang Book". Cui Hongza" contains "200 hectares of barren land under the Qin Canal, and 20,000 acres of millet are harvested every year". Because of the Tang system, 1 hectare = 100 mu, so it can be concluded that every 1 Tang mu yields about 1 stone.

What kind of concept is this, that is, more than 100 catties of grain will be harvested in one acre of land. And this corn, this corn, this corn is dozens of sacks.

This is still only the yield of one acre of land, and the output of ten acres on top of this acre of land is still this posture.

Some people began to tremble, and everyone knew what such a high-yield crop brought to Datang.

If it is said that at the beginning the ministers were full of anger to harvest corn, and now in exchange for nothing but shock or shock.

"Lord Dugu, look at this, how can this output be so huge?" Zhao Zhanguo asked quietly.

Dugu Yu had forgotten the humiliation he had just been framed by the guards: "In my opinion, Your Majesty asked us to harvest the crops not simply to let us experience the pain of farming."

He made sense to say this, because Li Ji broke a few corn cobs and went to find a place to rest.

The emperor could be lazy, but the courtiers didn't dare, so they had to continue to work in the fields.

The ghost knows when, the loser Zhu Youneng came to Li Ji's side, and the two of them squeezed their eyebrows.

"Brother Li, this thing is too scary, how can you gain so much?" Zhu Youneng was also frightened.

Li Ji smiled lightly: "What is this, there will be more scary ones in the future." Tell you Brother Zhu, it won't be long before you will be the richest man in Luoyang City. ”

Zhu Youneng likes to listen to this, and he smiled hesitantly: "I am now, you don't know how much money we make by selling glass and folding fans."

Li Ji shook his head: "You're not."

Zhu Youneng was stunned: "I'm not?"

"Don't forget, you only account for 20%, and the 80% income belongs to Lao Tzu!" Li Ji pointed to himself.

Zhu Youneng was a little puzzled by this: "No, the whole world is yours, what do you want so much money for?"

"Alas," Li Ji sighed, "You don't know these imperial histories and ministers, and it is like cutting their flesh to move the treasury for a penny." That's why Lao Tzu didn't look at the faces of their group of dog officials, my money was deposited with you, and when I needed it in the future, I would spend it in your name. ”
