Chapter 568: Different Roads for the Same Animal
"Military horses?" Li Longji repeated Zhang Xiaobao's words, lowered his head, ate steamed buns, drank soup, and thought hard. Crazy F Hit)
Zhang Xiaobao continued to drink his soup, Wang Juan closed her eyes and recuperated, she didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao was going to do, she felt that it was normal, she could guess it all, who else was she fooling?
Xiaobei nine people ran behind a carpenter, looked at the carved objects, Xiaozhu can also participate in two sentences, take a pencil to draw a lovely rice seedling painting on the wooden board, put it there, and wait for others to finish the work at hand, help carve it.
The officials also let go of their reserves, and the people in charge of the construction site asked for steamed buns, with a mouth on them, and a few chopsticks and pickles, and they ate it improvised, not daring to drink soup, for fear that they would go to the toilet when His Majesty had something to say.
The steamed buns are very ordinary, white-faced, not smoked with bleach, even if there is bleach, Zhang Xiaobao is reluctant to take them out and smoke the steamed buns.
Pickles are intriguing, in fact, they are not good dishes, cabbage, and then made of spicy cabbage, which has finely chopped radish shreds and preserved fruits, and the red ones are stuffed in the steamed buns to help the crispy core and tender.
What surprised the officials was not the cabbage and shredded fruit, but where did the pepper come from? Chili peppers, some points at home, reluctant to eat, how many people are in charge of the construction site of Zheng Zheng Construction? It's too extravagant.
Gao Lishi peeled an orange and stuffed it into the innermost petal one by one, sour, and the word "tangerine" was absolutely incompatible, and his face wrinkled when he ate it, and he couldn't bear to throw it.
"Oops!" Li Longji, who had eaten most of the steamed buns and drank most of the bowl of soup, slapped his thigh, excitedly laughed a lot.
Zhang Xiaobao was the closest, so he was choked by the soup, and turned his head to look at Li Longji, his face was full of puzzlement and surprise.
"Xiaobao." Li Longji put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and praised: "Clever, really smart, ordinary people can't think of your idea, okay, good idea, I also pondered and pondered, before I figured out a clue, juanjuan, do you admit it or not?" ”
Wang Juan had already opened his eyes and nodded when he heard the words, which meant to admit it, but he said in his heart, I admit that you are now boasting about yourself.
Zhang Xiaobao cooperated and asked, "Your Majesty, have you thought of it too?" ”
"I thought of it, it's not easy, it's really not easy, such a good idea, except for you, others don't think about it, it deserves to be the top talent, extraordinary." Li Longji continued to boast.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has praised it, since Your Majesty thought of it, can you talk about it?" Zhang Xiaobao couldn't bear it, and the officials looked over with various emotions.
"You speak first." Li Longji said happily.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Xiaobao didn't ask Li Longji, "If I say it first, how can you count what you thought of", he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I think so, I need military horses in the court, mainly for ......"
"Mainly for the Tibetan, Turkic, and northern Hebei ethnic groups. But no? Xiaobao, is that true? Li Longji interrupted Zhang Xiaobao's words and asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is really powerful." Zhang Xiaobao hugged his fists and expressed his admiration.
Li Longji clenched his fists and saluted back: "You continue." ”
"The main use, Your Majesty just said, I mean, now in a few places, it seems that there are not too many military horses, so what about ......"
"So there are a lot of military horses idle, am I right? Right? Hahaha! You say it later. Li Longji clapped his hands and laughed.
Zhang Xiaobao "......".
When he was depressed, he finally felt the unity of emotions in the eyes of the officials, which was called sympathy, deep sympathy.
Zhang Xiaobao knows that those officials must still have the idea of schadenfreude in their hearts, it is not easy, and eating alone can bring joy to many people, isn't this a kind of dedication?
"Say, Xiaobao, say it quickly." Li Longji urged.
What else can Zhang Xiaobao do? I had to carry out the dedication to the end: "Your Majesty, since it is idle, I think that the military horse can not only be used for conquest, but also ......"
This time, it was Zhang Xiaobao who stopped by himself, and then looked at Li Longji.
Sure enough, Li Longji took the words: "It can also be used to play polo, isn't it?" Public welfare undertakings are for everyone to participate in and watch for free, is there a feeling that heroes see the same thing? ”
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned, he really didn't expect to use the military horse to play polo, but it was a good idea, so he shook his head first, and then nodded.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you are better than me, you are the hero, Your Majesty, can you elaborate?"
"You didn't expect that? You didn't expect that? Aha! Li Longji was surprised for a moment, and then laughed happily again.
The officials even lowered their wheezing voices, and the scene looked very strange.
Li Longji didn't notice it for a while, and continued: "Xiaobao, how is it? Convincing or not? You said that the military horse, but you didn't expect it, so you ...... Then you ......"
Li Longji stopped laughing: "Then you didn't expect that it was the military horse you talked about first...... Let me think about it...... Looking at it this way, can it also be said that I didn't guess correctly? ”
Zhang Xiaobao "......".
He really couldn't answer directly, but he felt that Li Longji was very happy today, it was not easy, being an emperor was not always happy.
Wang Juan saw that it was time for him to come out of the round, and said: "Your Majesty guessed Xiaobao's plan before, but later, Your Majesty himself had a better idea, which even Xiaobao didn't take into account, Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"Your Majesty." All the officials said in unison, this sentence does not need to be deliberately practiced, it is all costly.
At this moment, Xiaohai pulled the big man and the little man to run over, the big man and the little man like the economy, and always ask Zhang Xiaobao questions, since it is said to be a public welfare undertaking, it must be related to the economy.
"Your Majesty, please first, my idea uses too many military horses, let's talk about your more competitive project first." Zhang Xiaobao gave up.
Li Longji was slightly deflated, he had been guessing for more than ten years, how could he not always guess? Xuan'er was happy again, after all, she had a good idea, and glanced around to see the ministers.
The ministers made a look of deafness, whenever they encountered such a situation, it was very testing, who knows if the emperor would talk and talk, suddenly stop and ask you, if you can't answer, it will be troublesome.
"Okay, I said first, Xiaobao, you and Juan Juan paused, and if I have any omissions, I have to add them." Li Longji also said modestly.
Some officials are clever, take out notebooks and pencils, and make shorthand shapes.
"I, uh! Recently, I have been thinking about how to further act on the people's livelihood, and the word Xiaobao military horse has made me suddenly enlightened, and military horses can be used to fight, and naturally they can also play polo, and idle ability is a waste. I plan to send soldiers who are usually trained in various state capitals to play polo games, and the people who are close to each other, or who have leisure, can watch them for free, and think to a happy place in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Xiaobao, what is it called? Li Longji's tone became a little formal and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"It is the construction of material civilization and the construction of spiritual civilization." Zhang Xiaobao replied.
"Yes, the people need spiritual civilization, play polo, can the people also participate? Xiaobao, you say. Li Longji probably couldn't think of the next words, so he asked Zhang Xiaobao again.
Zhang Xiaobaoxin said, you are using me as a secretary, okay, I will be a secretary today, and then said: "Your Majesty's meaning is understood, Your Majesty wants the people who can ride horses to follow and learn, and those who can't ride horses play Keju, which is a ball kicked with their feet, and adults and children can play it." Then His Majesty plans not to accept the door**, but to build a platform that is convenient to see from a high place, to look at the stage, a good position, charge a certain fee, plus there are merchants who buy and sell food, drink and entertainment in the competition venue, and also levy some taxes. With this money, one can build a site, the other can provide rewards to those who participate, and if there is any surplus, it needs to be deposited in the bank, which will be used for future Datang's expenditure and management on this matter. Your Majesty, the minister is stupid and can only think of part of the matter. ”
"Huh?" Li Longji didn't speak for a while.
The officials who listened were really convinced, and their admiration for Zhang Xiaobao was called five-body throwing, how difficult it was, the emperor said an incomplete idea, and it could be supplemented into a system immediately.
Li Longji came to his senses and said approvingly: "With Xiaobao here, Datang's economy is worry-free, and Juan Juan also said a few words." ”
Wang Juan was agreeing with Li Longji's evaluation in his heart, and suddenly saw Li Longji lead the words to himself, first looked at Xiaobao, and said: "Your Majesty, in the previous days, there was a local organization of lottery **, which was limited to people who were willing to gamble to buy, and then lottery, and the money earned went to the local finance, and later ......"
"I know, and then stopped, Xiaobao made the lottery ** gambling industry in Tubo, it is too tricky, and the Manchu Dynasty is afraid of both civil and military, if it weren't for Xiaobao not earning benefits from it, I really thought that Xiaobao wanted to harm Datang."
Li Longji thought of the matter of tossing in Tibet, and it was from that time that he saw that a country does not need to use force to bring disaster to people.
Wang Juan smiled, and then said: "The situation in Tubo is different from that of Datang, and now the telegram can quickly transmit information to all parts of Datang, and it is time to integrate Bo Lu Cai, there can be a sports Bo Lu Cai, which is managed by the capital, and the money is handed over to Qian Zhuang and used in sports." Sports, as the name suggests, is to enhance physical education, and the money earned is not only used for competitions, but there will be a lot of sports equipment in the future, which will be bought and sent to the school, and it will be gone. ”
"Lord Wang, this official has something to say, that is, ......" An official stood up in the crowd, and as soon as he said half a sentence, Li Longji's eyes glared at him, and he was so frightened that he continued: "That's it, I support it." ”
The other officials were saddened by it, and they all understood it and thought it clearly, that is, Bo Lucai would involve a large amount of money, and whether the imperial court could send officials to manage it, instead of putting it in the bank.
The emperor glared, that was asking, who cares about the faction? Who can you guarantee that you won't be greedy for?
So the official retired, he really couldn't find an official who promised not to reach out to money except for Zhang Xiaobao, money, but it's a good thing, except for Zhang Xiaobao, who has a great ability to make money and doesn't treat money as money, others may not be able to suppress that trace of desire.
Li Longji bowed his head happily: "Okay, start the Tang Bo Lang Cai, Xiaobao, tell me your idea, I am derived from a military horse to a very profitable Bo Lang Cai, under your operation, I believe it is very beneficial to the people's livelihood, you can't be worse than me." ”
Zhang Xiaobao once again felt the sympathetic gaze cast by everyone.
"It's still unreasonable, that's what you said? You're just going to play polo." Zhang Xiaobao slandered.
Even Xiaohai and the big man and the little man also started to worry.
Only Wang Juan is not worried, and still looks like he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
Gao Lishi, looking at his godson, was looking forward to it and worried.
Zhang Xiaobao was not in a hurry again, picked up the bowl of soup that had not been drunk, and planned to take two sips, but was stopped by Li Longji.
"Xiaobao, you are not in good health, you can't drink cold things for the time being, let's talk about your mind first, ah."
Putting down the bowl stupidly, Zhang Xiaobao also learned from Li Longji's appearance just now, coughed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty has just said that military horses can not only be used to fight, but also to play polo. I also think that it is true that it is not only possible to fight, but also to plow land and pull carts. Let's talk about this cultivated land first, when plowing the dry field, the speed of the horse is much faster than that of the ox, and the tool can be improved, it is simple, in the past, people were used to plow, and cattle were used, and the horse was too precious, and now there are too many war horses, so it is better to use it on the cultivated land. Besides, in fact, next year, I will have at least 30,000 miles of railways in Datang, and His Majesty promised to find me a million laborers, and I will solve my affairs, I believe you will not doubt it, right? ”
The ministers nodded, the horses ploughed the dry fields really fast, and there were too many horses left, after the Tubo and Turks returned to obedience, in addition to the Tang Dynasty's own horses, there were also many horses in the two places, and they couldn't be used up at all.
If you want to continue to fight, this estimate has to be made by Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the emperor.
As for money, since Zhang Xiaobao said yes, there is absolutely no problem.
Seeing that the officials admitted, Zhang Xiaobao said: "Even if the railway is repaired, the main road is connected by the railway, and there is still a lack of local transportation, a big gap, so horses can further replace manpower and speed up logistics." The consequence of accelerating logistics is that in the case of productivity can not keep up, it also accelerates inflation, after all, the tax revenue of the imperial court also has to be spent, uh, off topic, I will solve this problem, you don't have to worry, simple, it's very simple. ”
Zhang Xiaobao smiled embarrassedly, but the officials really wanted to hear about this, there were Zhang Xiaobao's students among the officials, and they just found a little bit of the feeling when they were in class, and suddenly it was gone, awkward.
"There are two aspects of application, can consume a lot of surplus horse resources, may not be enough, to further promote horse breeding, before the new cultivation and transportation popularization, can not be replaced, and new technology can not be immediately used in people's livelihood, yes, is still far away." When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he was silent, waiting for others to ask questions, not that he couldn't continue, but that he had to drive the thinking of officials.
Sure enough, a student in his class stood up and asked, "Master Zhang, there is something unknown about the student." ”
"Say." Zhang Xiaobao looked over.
"That'...... The student was bold, and the student wanted to ask, how can the horse be used by people? Buy? When the pricing is geometric, the non-cultivation period, and the logistics demand is not large, will the people who buy the horse be able to raise it? ”
This person was very nervous, afraid that the question he asked would be difficult for Zhang Xiaobao, and he was faintly looking forward to it, expecting Zhang Xiaobaoyun to say a way lightly, after all, in his heart, Zhang Xiaobao is omnipotent in the economy.
Li Longji and the other officials looked at Zhang Xiaobao and waited for him to answer, it was indeed a question.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded to the questioner, which meant that you are good, and then said, "This question...... It's a good question, since it's a public tent, naturally the people can't afford to raise horses. Previously, Master Jiang Cen Jiang of Sinong Temple came and sent me and Juan Juan the vermicelli, yes, vermicelli, vermicelli is actually not the point, the important thing is that we discussed the functions of Sinong Temple. To strengthen the role of Sinong Temple, there is an aspect called green storage, used to raise livestock is very good, green storage is done well, when feeding livestock, in the winter in the north, it can even exceed the fat gain effect of the main feed. In addition, I plan to take out part of the aquaculture technology at home and give it to the people of Datang for free, which will increase logistics with more production. ”
At this time, the ministers and Li Longji both showed the same expressions as Wang Juan at that time, would you be so kind?
Even Xiao Hai didn't believe it, looked at the big man and the little man, and reached an unanimous idea.
Zhang Xiaobao saw everyone's expressions and wanted to say, "What do you mean? I can't be a good person yet?' But he knew that he must not ask, so that people would not believe him.
"The problem of feed is not big, Sinong Temple will speed up the cultivation of corn, corn yield is high, nutrition is also rich, before it is fully mature, it is a good Erxi to do green storage, the amount is large, the effect is outstanding." Zhang Xiaobao said along with what he just said.
Wang Juan interjected at this time: "Xiaobao, it's really difficult for you, you have to consider many things together." ”
"Yes, economic officials who consider a single issue will lose their lives, it's time to talk about money, money, people who are willing to raise horses, as long as they take out the money for a horse, they don't need to buy, rent, or pay rent, just be responsible for raising horses. For those who don't know how to raise, let Sinong Temple produce technical talents, print the method of raising it into a booklet, and distribute it for free, so that the medical centers of Deyi hospitals around the country can also help summarize and treat diseases. ”
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't think that it shouldn't be thought about more things, it's normal, he pats his head and comes up with an idea, and then the officials who are not responsible for sales and pest management have to be pulled to cut off their heads.
The person who asked the question before asked again at this time: "Master Zhang, the student has a question, listen to what you mean, the money is not directly used to buy horses, so to whom?" ”
"Give the money to the bank, the people who really have no money, borrow it themselves, the money bank is responsible for lending to them at low interest, and then the people put the money in the bank, the kind without interest, the money bank is responsible for providing horses to the people. This money, after more money, I can operate, not only will the money bank not lose money, but can also make money, you can rest assured. If the people raise their horses to death, we will send people to see them, and the people will not bear the burden of the sick and the old dead, unless they themselves have killed them, then the money will not be given. If they use something for a low-interest mortgage, they don't pay it back unless they give it to them directly. If the people are willing to plant crops designated by the imperial court, His Majesty will also give a reward for a part of His Majesty's money. In fact, the policies are all good, mainly local officials, if there are officials who make false reports, then ......" Zhang Xiaobao stopped here and looked at Li Longji.
"Kill." Li Longji's answer is very simple, just one word...
