Chapter 22: The Legacy of the Fallen Hairpin (2)
.
Wu Quanzi kept begging for mercy, but Li Wei didn't listen, and shouted: Bring pen and ink for me.
An attendant brought paper, ink and pencils, Bi'er studied the ink for Li Wei, and the little lady of the Zheng family was very curious and stretched out her head slightly to watch Li Wei write.
She has heard many stories about this emperor, there are sayings inside the family, there are sayings outside, that is, the people in the family are more rational, and many stories are legendary. One of them is the word.
But she never saw the handwriting of this emperor.
Twenty-eight girls, when they are pregnant with spring, are curious about people and words.
Brush!
Lines of large letters are written on white paper.
The handwriting still can't reach the height of Yan Zhenqing, but under the influence of the environment in the past few years, daily writing must be written with a brush, not like practicing in the previous life, just for fun, and the growth is not small. Because of the different living environment, the style of Yan Zhenqing's book has also undergone some changes...... The same atmosphere is fat and powerful, less old-fashioned and vicious, and more charming and extravagant. It can't reach the height of Yan Zhenqing's original character, but this character is also very well written.
Especially that kind of extravagance, it is the favorite of the people in this era.
couldn't help but glance at Li Wei again, not necessarily handsome, there are many young people in the family who are more delicate than this emperor, but the kind of temperament that is not angry and self-authoritative, but with a kind of elegant atmosphere and full of confidence, is not something that the children in the family can have. lost his mind for a moment, and it wasn't until Li Wei finished writing and inadvertently glanced at her that he realized that he had lost his temper, his neck was red again, and his pink face lowered again.
When Uncle Zheng Lian saw his daughter's expression, he was worried and happy. The daughter is 100% fond of His Majesty the Emperor, once the marriage is successful...... I can make my daughter happy. But this emperor's speech was vague, and he couldn't grasp his attitude.
"Send it to the Eastern Capital." Called a guard and asked him to send him to Luoyang overnight.
"Your Majesty...... Wu Quanzi was still howling.
"Boom out!"
"Whoa!" The guards came up and dragged Wu Quanzi away.
As if this incident hadn't happened, Ji Wei turned to Uncle Zheng Lian and said, "Zheng Bi, it's getting late, I don't know where to rest?" ”
"Your Majesty, if you cross the river from Huaizhou to the south, you can go straight to Xingyang, can you let the ministers accompany you ......?"
"Okay."
After snorting, a chamberlain took the three of them, father and daughter, down to squeeze out the tent to rest.
and Liang Jinzhu, who has not spoken until now, Uncle Zheng Lian knew that something was wrong, and he immediately got up and said goodbye very consciously. Officials in Huaizhou also took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye. He asked all the guards to go down, leaving only a few wives and concubines, Li Yiyan and Liu Renliang, and the little sister who refused to leave, and then asked Liang Jinzhu: "Liang Qing, you have worked hard in the past few years. ”
"The minister dares to be and is appreciated by His Majesty, which is a blessing that the minister has cultivated for several lifetimes."
"Don't be polite, in the past, Meng Weijun used chickens and dogs to steal and make a name for himself, but they are just a small road, but you are raising the road for me...... I won't say more kind words, have you seen the envoy of the country? ”
"When the minister saw it, he also sent them to the sea ship through the island of Ryuqiu to the kingdom of Ryukyu according to His Majesty's instructions, and also put the weapons on the ship for about three or two months before they could reach their country......
Not only did he make an agreement, but Li Wei also secretly drew out a small number of weapons, such as a strong crossbow and a strong bow, some siege equipment, and a small amount of fire medicine. With the current technology of the country, there is no way to imitate it even if it is obtained. But if you don't come out, because of yourself, the East and the West began to exchange in advance, and almost all the advanced civilizations in the world are in this big exchange circle. This also made Li Wei feel a sense of urgency.
For the Tang Dynasty, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and if there is no exchange, one day, people will catch up, and the Chinese people are still ignorant. But as a consequence of communication, technology is also circulating. Li Wei believes in the wisdom of the Chinese people and the advantage of the population. Since ancient times, Confucian theories have become more and more conservative in their thinking. Confucius had limitations, the state of Lu was weak, and the Spring and Autumn Wars were chaotic, so he hoped for the emergence of a harmonious society of benevolence, respect, humility, order, and tranquility, with the Zhou royal family as the axis. No matter how much it is constantly distorted and evolves into the current social system of scholars, peasants, industrialists, and businessmen, it is not considered harmful, and once Comrade Zhu Xi comes out, it will do even more harm to the country.
This kind of Confucian monopoly can never make scientists, or craftsmen in the mouths of the common people now, noble, and capable people also give up the study of it, in this environment, no civilization can catch up, as long as it catches up, no matter how clever the people are, they can quickly be left behind.
In my previous life, I remember a person who said that the distance of the cannon's range is the distance of the country.
If the fire medicine does not appear, once it appears, it will not be two hundred years, no matter how secret it is, it will inevitably be studied by other countries The formula of the fire medicine will be studied.
The crisis is here.
It is no easier to reverse the perception of the people than to find a countermeasure to annexation.
But before that, it is necessary to use it to contribute to the country in the first place.
There were not many weapons sent over, but they were all the most advanced weapons of the Tang Dynasty that could not be imitated, including trebuchets and crashes. This country is confined to the island country, and it is very eager for the mainland, and even Li Wei doubts that when he gets the news of the beast by the river, there will be no ministers to advise, first occupy the Silla Peninsula, and then wait for the opportunity to wait for the chaos in the Central Plains like the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and further infect more territory.
What Li Wei wants is for them to think like this, and such a big drama is staged.
He asked, "What was the reaction of the envoy of the kingdom?" ”
"Your Majesty, when he saw these weapons, and heard that His Majesty promised to sell them to the country, he was very surprised, and he didn't even understand what the great god was called."
Li Wei stretched out his hand, and Liu Renliang also understood, like an old naughty boy, and the two clapped their hands.
"Your Majesty, but the minister has two questions.
"Tell me what questions you have."
"Once the country is traded, we don't have enough money in our hands, so we can only draw out hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the money involved in the transaction must be very ......."
"It's okay, they come to trade, you have to remember one thing, don't bring cash and real silver, you don't agree. This country is shameless, and if it owes it, it will definitely not be returned. After a while, I will send someone to send you a price list. However, you also have to prepare some money, especially for ships, from now on, you must notify all the large docks in Quanzhou in advance to speed up the transaction. The state is still waiting for this batch of funds to come to the rescue. ”
"Wow. The minister also had a question, if a large amount of gold and silver poured in, the price of gold and silver would inevitably fall. ”
Without studying the price of gold and silver in the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for ordinary people to know their exact positioning. The monetary system of the Tang Dynasty was mainly based on copper coins, supplemented by cloth, and gold and silver were not the currency in circulation, but were mostly used as utensils and jewelry, but they were very valuable. It may be exchanged in the cabinet, and gold is harder than silver.
To put it vaguely, one tael of silver is equivalent to one tael of money, and one tael of gold is equivalent to eight taels of silver. But the price varies, most of the gold is less than eight taels of silver, and one tael of silver is more than a penny, and sometimes when it is scarce, it can be close to two thousand copper plates.
The price will inevitably fall, and the transaction is realized in gold and silver, which is equivalent to a loss-making transaction. However, the simple economic theory Li Wei still understands, how to position, the imperial court can also regulate, since the beginning of the voyage, the flow of gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty gradually increased, and then get a large amount of silver from the country, then the imperial court can use a batch of money to exchange gold and silver back...... It is then paid to various officials as a salary. Circulation from top to bottom has not only become a vessel, but also an official currency, and the use of it has increased, but the standard of gold and silver will not fall. In this way, there is no need to forcibly promote, and the teachers will mobilize the public, causing some drawbacks.
This moisturizing and silent reform was also beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, which had little money and had to trade cloth and silk, which caused a waste of understanding in a year? There's no way to count it.
"You don't have to worry about this, but you can talk about the difficulties when the time comes." In addition, I will use this to suppress the price of silver on the price list I gave you. ”
"Your Majesty is wise, but the minister is far behind."
"You don't have to pat my ass, you have worked very hard in the past few years, ......", Li Wei's voice changed, and he suddenly said: "I heard that you have a son who has not yet been engaged." ”
"Yes, he's still young, not in a hurry."
"Do you want to marry a woman from five surnames and seven families?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to......" replied immediately, but after answering, he froze. If you are a small businessman, no matter how much you think about it, people will not agree.
Liu Renliang wiped his sweat and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do that." ”
If the eldest Xue Yuanchao has been very noble since he was a child, he married the princess as his wife, and sighed, I regret not marrying five surnames and seven women in my life. If Li Wei forcibly married the Zheng family to a businessman, what would the controversy become?
"Yes, Your Majesty, no."
"Liang Qing, I'll give it a try, I won't use strong means, maybe I will give you a surprise, and I will surprise the Tang Dynasty in the future." The Tang Dynasty's deformed Confucianism was respected and the concept of the gate valve being the big one did not change, which was very unfavorable to the future development of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the chance of success is very small, and he said: "Whether it succeeds or not, just follow me to Xingyang." You've been blowing all the way, so let's go down and rest early. ”
This is also a kind of touchstone, the name of Liang Jinzhu is a benevolent businessman, and now he is famous all over the world, and he walks with him, in this case, the Zheng family in Xingyang still rejects him and does not let him enter the Zheng family, so there is no room for conversation.
"Wow", Liang Jinzhu thanked and retreated.
"Your Majesty, you must not", Li Yiyan also persuaded bitterly.
"Li Qing, along the way, you have also seen, Shinong Industry and Commerce, Shi, how many officials are competent? Peasantry, how many landlords are benevolent? In the past, Xixia squeezed out businessmen, which was their act of seeking profit lightly. But I don't understand what righteousness is and what profit is. The official wants to be on the throne, he wants to be a county order, he wants to be a stabbing history, he wants to be a squire, he wants to be a squire, he wants to be a prime minister, and he wants to be a powerful minister (referring to Pei Yan), is this a benefit? As a landlord, a hundred hectares of land in his hands, he wants to dry up a thousand hectares, and a thousand hectares wants ten thousand hectares. As a result, how many people were annexed by various means of the landlords, reduced to tenant farmers, and their families were poor? Have they ever thought about the future, about the country? I don't like it! I love people and employ people, with virtue and talent, I don't like the gate valve class! Li Qing, let's ask about virtue, how many Shinong can match Liang Jinzhu in the world? ”
"But Your Majesty ......"
"Li Qing, I know how to measure, whether it can be done or not, look at my hands......"
The Zheng family in Xingyang took the initiative to come to the door, but they were also forced to be helpless, close to Luoyang, if the emperor did it, the Zheng family in Xingyang would be the first. So he took the initiative to send it to the muzzle. (To be continued.)
