Bashui can rise a lot during the spring flood, so as not to take the wrong road or detour in vain, there are many new ferrymen. Unlike other places, the largest turnover of people here in Chang'an is the bureaucracy and aristocrats, and the second level is the merchants, and there are many businessmen.

"This year's spring flood is a bit severe."

Riding the black wind, Zhang De hung a telescope around his neck and traveled with a group of bear children. followed, in addition to Li Fengjie, there was also Li Simo's son Li Yi.

"Brother, several boats have sunk in the ditch in the past few days, and a lot of things have washed down after the flood. A big log can wreck a boat. ”

Li Yi rode a jujube red horse, the horse was strong, but it was not raised in the grasslands of the north.

It's also magical, in Zhang De's thinking, he has always felt that horses must be raised on the grassland. As a result, Jia Fei told him that raising horses can be done anywhere, and the focus is on breeding technology.

Li Yi's jujube red horse was a product of the entrainment of Hebei farms, and when he returned to Beijing, he was first transported to Henan. Then it was transported to Chang'an through the Jingluo plate rail.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Zhang De gave these well-raised horses to a group of old-timers.

The four-wheeled carriage was originally only used by the emperor, but since Zhang De got the beggar version out, the Son of Heaven Luan drove something, and the system also had to go with the market.

At first, Shi Dazhong asked Lao Zhang, in the past, Zhou Tianzi could use four wheels, but now he can spend money and make a face, Dalang, do you think you can get five pairs of wheels for Tianzi Luan?

Be creative!

Ninety-five Supreme, then you must have five pairs of weight-bearing wheels.

So Lao Zhang got a set of five pairs of load-bearing wheels for Li Dong, two and a half carriages, running on the rails.

Last year, Li Dong went out to inspect from the east gate, and he sat on this, which is called a domineering. The two carriages in the back are all special harems.

If it weren't for the "flying horse" guards on the left and right of the tracks, Lao Zhang estimated that Li Dong would be able to play a "train carriage .avi".

"Da Lang, is the county king still in Huaiyuan?"

"Yese said that he was going to Mobei, where the capital is located, there seems to be news."

His father-in-law is still in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and Xu Xiaode, a Huzhou native who used to be a tendon, is now in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and he is a little prosperous.

In order to let Changshengtian shout "cool to death", Wei Chi Ritian should let Xu Xiaode take over the specific clerical deployment. It can be said that Xu De's current situation is quite a bit of the chief thinker under the old devil shogunate.

In short, it's really okay for the environment to change people.

"Oh? What's the news? ”

Zhang De asked bluntly.

Unlike Lao Zhang's friends, Li Yi worships Zhang De in all directions, and Li Simo and Zhang De's alliance is already a bit of a state of prosperity, Li Yi treats Zhang De with absolute openness.

"The Western Turks are at war again."

Li Yi saw that the children on the left and right sides were a little farther away, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you know that little Khan Tiele, after being loyal to His Majesty, he will go west." After Yi Nan was defeated, he was the only character. ”

"Why did he fight the Western Turks again?"

"It was fought in November, and it was snowing in the winter. More people died of freezing than in battle, Ye Ye said, not counting the Western Turks, but the Tiele people themselves, and the small tribes that He Li enveloped were basically dead. ”

Zhang De listened, his eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart: What is the power of Qibi is a little interesting, this is to be Li Simo's second?

According to the current plan of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo is of course strategically prepared to be killed directly in one go, and tactically it can only be solved after several battles or even several wars. But no matter how many times, as long as you fight once, you can make Goguryeo honestly nest on its own one-third of an acre of land without moving.

When everyone thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to fight Goguryeo like the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Tugu Hun was a kind of garbage, and it was almost a battle.

Li Ji is not a vegetarian.

It is not a matter at all for the ambassador of Longyou Dao to be transformed into the chief of the march at a critical time. Moreover, there is also Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, in recent years, just farming and hoarding grain, plus appeasing Zhuqiang, is enough to make Liangzhou a big rear for attacking Tuyuhun.

A country that can support a two-front operation and win two local wars is the minimum configuration of a superpower.

"So, isn't the county king very short of money now?"

Zhang De looked at Li Yi, who looked shy, "Yes Ye asked me to come to my brother's place, just because I want to borrow one or two." ”

"How much?"

"There is a letter, and the younger brother doesn't know the details."

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a letter from his arms, with a red wax seal and three chicken feathers glued. This is the standard mark at the Great River Workshop.

After opening the letter and glancing at it, Zhang De nodded slightly, according to what the letter said, Li Simo wanted to capture another handful of people. And it has been hinted between the lines that the old mad dog got the will from the emperor.

Zhang De secretly thought: This kind of thing of capturing the population can only be a matter of cleaning up after the war after the victory on the frontal battlefield, and the purpose of capturing the population is grandiose, but I am afraid that Li Shimin will not admit it.

However, Zhang De also knows very well that this is also something that cannot be helped. The shortage of labor was not a matter of Zhenguan's eight years, but at the beginning of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin reluctantly discovered it after eating the sweetness from Zhang De and those behind Zhang De.

Judging from labor alone, it takes at least 15 years to train a laborer. From Zhenguan five years to the present, within three years, Chang'an, not to mention the number of shops in the east and west cities, has increased by nearly 20,000, and the logistics distribution villages and towns formed by the ferries outside the city, and the banners of the wealthy families of various families in Guannei Road, large and small, have been erected at least 123,000.

As for the foot traders, that's even more out of the question.

Although the imperial court suppressed the Han merchants and encouraged the Hu merchants, the core of this policy was to maintain the rule of feudal centralization, and to put it bluntly, it was the landlord class's maintenance of its own interests.

What's more, most of the Hu merchants in Chang'an, with names and surnames, are either the prince of this family or the white gloves of the princess. Company Commander Sun Wuji, an old yin goods, although he is nominally sitting on empty food, in order to maintain the dignity of the huge family, he still raised a large number of Hu merchants under the protection of the queen.

Wisser's type of agent has more than 10,000 Chang'an.

A bag of white sugar was the beginning of a strange carnival of interests, which made the imperial court relax its policies in some areas. This does not mean that the court of the feudal empire is progressing, it is only the attraction of profits.

The income of 100,000 yuan will not impress the emperor and general. For the huge Datang, it is actually nothing.

But Zhang De went on one routine after another, and it was impossible for Li Shimin, who realized it later, to still be entangled with the five surnames and seven hopes, and the profits were huge to a certain extent, so they had to change.

The Confucian moral system did not allow Li Shimin to say that he wanted to take people captive to serve the royal enterprise. Mining for the emperor, digging coal for the emperor, opening a canal for the emperor...... Not honorable at all.

A few years ago, Tang Jian, as a veteran diplomat, provided Zhang De with an estimate of the population of various ethnic groups in Northeast China. Useful men and women, together about five million.

Later, Li Simo discussed this matter with Zhang De, and left a set of plans, with a few words on it: five million livestock.

Sanguan thinks that he is a normal engineering dog, but in this Zhenguan Dynasty, he met an old mad dog, and he has to admit that the primitive accumulation of capital is actually like this.

What's worse is that this group of capital accumulation in the Zhenguan Dynasty is the worst crony capitalists. If the Shandong gentry still talk about morality and decency, then for Li Simo, what bullshit morality and decency is, all nonsense.

In the eyes of the old mad dog, those five million men and women are young and strong, they are livestock, they are consumables in the workshop and mine, just like the machine of the Dahe Workshop is broken.

Now, the old mad dog is probably short of labor again, so he needs a lot of money to operate. To the emperor, to the capital of Anbei, to the generals of Hetao, to the governors of the governors, to the magnates of Chang'an, and to the younger brothers under his hands.

In the chicken feather letter, Li Simo wanted to borrow 1.2 million yuan to operate this matter.

Zhang De was full of emotion at the same time, carefully put away the chicken feather letter, then took a deep breath, showed a smile, and said to Li Yi: "Some small things, why should the county king come by himself." Da Lang was free, so he went back to inform the county king, and I agreed. ”

"Little brother, thank you brother on behalf of the adult."

Li Yi, who looked happy, didn't know what his father was doing, just an ordinary business. (To be continued.) )
