Chapter 528: All Things

In many cases, it is impossible to retreat when encountering difficulties, to go up when there are difficulties, and to create difficulties when there are no difficulties. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and may face great social problems in the future, and he will also release the steam engine.

In fact, seriously speaking, the lethality of the steam textile machine is not so great. Factory owners believe that the use of machinery can reduce labor and reduce costs. But there is a problem of negligence, and the machinery also needs to be maintained. As a result, in the end, the labor force did not decrease as much as expected.

In fact, unless it fully evolves to the stage of intelligent robots, the use of machinery is actually just forcing workers to learn more things, and machines are progressing, and people must also improve. If you stand still, you will be eliminated. Not only the workers, but also the bosses.

Don't look at how much the boss earns, always exploit the workers, the ancients have long said that those who work hard govern people, and those who work are subject to others, if you are not willing to work hard, then you can only work. And industrialization, in fact, forces everyone to work, workers want, and the boss also requires new changes, otherwise the products produced cannot keep up with the times, and the boss will be unemployed. Therefore, the steam engine, a big killer, must be released, rather than being forced to change, it is better for Datang to start it in advance, and we will force others to change.

There are still many things to change, such as Datang's full implementation of the armor protection law, although there is resistance, but also under the strong promotion of Li Chen, all objections were eliminated and implemented. I am afraid that the militia and local separatist forces will rise, and I am afraid that the civil unrest will be out of control.

The former, as long as the imperial court retains a strong army, and even as long as the imperial court does not lose morality, it will not become like this. The latter is the same, turning the people into lambs, so that it will be easy to rule? At that time, Qin Shi Huang also collected all the weapons in the world, but the result was not revealed. Even, Li Chen maliciously thought that this would make the magistrate feel evil, and he had some scruples.

The Chinese people are the most docile, they are not forced to a dead end, and they will not think of rebellion at all. If the armor protection law is really as they say, then can those corrupt officials and corrupt officials be tempered. After all, you are no longer dealing with a lamb, or a lamb with sharp horns on its head. If you go too far, you'll be killed.

The armor protection law has been implemented, and the disarmament of the three towns in Hebei Province is also in full swing. It's going well. Among the three towns, Youzhou was leveled, and the surrendered soldiers and horses, under the suppression of the Shence army, did not open their eyes. In order to suppress them, Gao Biao also held a military exercise, using overwhelming artillery to make onlookers look like earth.

At the end of Youzhou, Wang Yuankui of the Chengde Army was not in good health, so he asked the table to retire and ask the imperial court to appoint an envoy to the heart. Li Chen agreed, and gave Wang Yuankui a high-ranking official honor, and his sons, the adult Wang Shaoyi will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, so that he will have a future, and the underage son will also enter the Royal Primary School. Only that Wang Shaoding probably disappointed him too much, and he would be circled by his Lao Tzu.

It was his good luck to be imprisoned, and it fell into the hands of Li Chen, and it was better for him to live than to die. Dare to beat his woman's idea, tired of living. This Wang Shaoding actually thought about his aunt how old he was.

This originally had nothing to do with Li Chen, but it was related to the fact that he would marry Wang Yuankui's father and give birth to a daughter as a concubine. On the one hand, it was for the sake of the Wang family's heart, and the most important thing was that he found out that the Wang girl was Wang Erniang back then.

The one who was just reborn, was stuffed into the grave, and almost suffocated to death, rescued him, arranged for him to live temporarily in Xiangyan Temple, and later reunited in Xuzhou, is Wang Yuankui's sister who has a big age difference. This incident was told to him when he temporarily lived in Xiangyan Temple, and the abbot went to Beijing to ask for his life for Buddhism.

Because Wang Yuankui and his father, Wang Tingcuo, are old and have daughters, and they are very favored, after he passed away, Wang Yuankui, the eldest brother, raised her and connived at her. And because she is a family of military generals, she was raised to only love arms, not red makeup. Later, when she knew that Wang Yuankui wanted to marry her to Zhang Zhifang in order to contact Youzhou Town, she simply ran away from home and went to the rivers and lakes. Only then did it happen. The wonder of the world is really no one who surpasses it.

After the Chengde army was attached, He Hongjing of Weibo Town also had to submit a letter to the annex and asked the imperial court to send another envoy to Wei Bojie. He wasn't so honorable, not to mention that he didn't have a daughter or sister just old enough to marry. If you are reasonable, you will not ask for it. However, Li Chen did not treat him badly, and gave him the post of chief of staff after the restructuring, after all, he is also an old soldier, and it is a pity to be idle.

The three towns of Hebei, the adaptation is imminent, but this is not a moment or three, it can be done, Li Chen asked the new privy envoy, Du Mu, to take charge of this matter, and his military squire was given to Zhou Qi. And his position as Zhongcheng in the imperial history was reinstated by Wei Mo. Wei Mo was awarded the book of the Criminal Department within two days, and Liu Ying took over.

Liu Yao, a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, is the fifth grandson of the famous Liu Renliang. He also lived up to the reputation of his ancestors, studied hard since he was a child, and was brilliant in writing. moved to the left to pick up the remains, and once admonished the Wuzong Fangshi.

He was also proficient in the law, and he sorted out the 244 years before Li Chen ascended the throne, and divided the 2,865 articles that could be used into 646 gates, and formed a law book, called "Dazhong Tong Class". Therefore, Li Chen promoted him to Tongping Zhangshi and served as the secretary of the Criminal Department.

After arriving at the major events in the DPRK and China, Li Chen relaxed a little, he still has a lot of things to do, but it all takes time, he has to put it off first, he doesn't want to smash everything out in one go, it will make people confused, and it will also lose focus and distract people. At present, the most important thing is to do a good job in disarmament and reorganization.

The time slipped like this, the fifth year of junior high school, the end of the year. The first part of the Shence Army was temporarily stationed in Hebei to stabilize the local area, and some returned to Chang'an, and both sides began to rectify the old army, and a large number of soldiers were diverted, either into the factory, or to Longxi Kentian. The imperial court was overwhelmed by these things. There is also a funeral.

Shi Xiong passed away. After the end of the Ghost War, Shi Xiong's body collapsed suddenly, although Li Chen sent Fengyu to take care of the army, but when the person was old, it was difficult to delay it any longer. After a few months of procrastination, Shi Xiong finally left.

The left army of Shence returned to Chang'an and escorted Shixiong's coffin back to Chang'an all the way. Enshrined in Li Chen's own mausoleum, set up in the martyr's shrine. Shi Xiong was awarded the title of Duke of Jiguo, the inspector of the school and the order of the middle secretary, and went to the Zhu State.

The scene of the enshrinement is extremely sad and strong. Li Chen specially asked the Ministry of Rites to come up with a new set of regulations, after all, Shi Xiong is the highest level in the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine, and his old boss Liu Wei is not so high-standard, and his credit is not as great as his, so he needs a set of special etiquette regulations.

There is no problem for the Ministry of Rites to come out with this charter, but the Ministry of Rites is still in the book, and took the opportunity to make a statement, asking Li Chen to think about the problem of his own mausoleum.

Usually an emperor, since he ascended the throne, will start to build his own tomb. The longer you reign, the more luxurious your cultivation becomes. It can be regarded as a change of method, and the emperor wants to do it well. However, it is not easy to repair an ayaku, and sometimes the emperor will hang up after his reign for a short time. Therefore, it is not that after the death of the emperor, the mausoleum continued to be repaired. Li Chen's situation is that he is not cultivating at all.

It's not entirely correct if he didn't repair it, the year he ascended the throne, he started to repair it as usual, which Ma Yuanwu didn't stop, and he didn't pay for it anyway. Later, after he became in power, he was dismissed from forced labor, and there was no way to repair it. The whole structure has only been repaired a little bit.

There is no free labor, and it is impossible to repair it by relying solely on the craftsmen who belong to the government. Li Chen developed a lot of careers and diverted those craftsmen, so he completely went on strike.

You say, just pay for it. That's right, it's good to spend money to hire people, and even those van soldiers can go to repair the mausoleum. But the problem is that Li Chen always excused himself that he had no money, and the Xiang army had more important things to do, and he didn't ask for a single labor, so the whole thing was stopped.

This matter has been mentioned by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and Li Chen has a lot of excuses, and he is too lazy to repair it. Because he has to think that it is useless to build such a big tomb and do something.

In later generations, even if he is a big rich man, it is just a better feng shui. No one has built that big. No matter how large the area is and how expensive the cost is, it is not as huge and labor-intensive as the mausoleum built by the emperor now.

Besides, what's the use of fixing that big? If you build big, the country will be good? The big repair and the many burials are just a reason for people to rob the tomb. Unless, like Qin Shi Huang, he brought the country into civil unrest, and then repaired the tomb to future generations, and it was not found for thousands of years. After finding it, I didn't dare to move.

Or like his ancestors, Gaozong and Empress Wu, how long did the two of them work together to cultivate? Fifty years, Gaozong is 34 years, and Wu Zetian has also cultivated for about 15 years. The two worked together to build for half a century, and although later generations knew the location, they were also worried about the heavy mechanisms and did not dare to excavate.

He didn't want to be like that. If you don't repair much, you will be stolen by others. If it is repaired well, it costs money and labor, and he himself is not happy, he does not bring it to life and death, and the tomb is so gorgeous and like a river, and he is dead when he dies. Therefore, even if the martyrs' shrine next to his mausoleum has been repaired well over the years, he has no intention of repairing his own tomb.

He thought about it, and after he died, he would build a simple glass tomb and repair it with steel bones. Then his own body was embalmed, and he was there for people to admire. There is no need to accompany the funeral or anything, so as not to be remembered.

If you die and close the coffin, you will be scolded. Then go and spit on your own grave, they didn't dare to scold when you were alive, and when you die, you will scold in a whisper.

If the Tang Dynasty is ten thousand years old, then there is no need to accompany the funeral. Laying the foundation of this empire by himself is destined not to be forgotten, and the kind of constant admiration all year round is better than any funeral.

said that it was far away, after Shi Xiongde's funeral. Li Chen was idle for a while, but there were still some things to come to. One is that Datang is going to issue new coins.

In the past, Datang used iron money galvanized and copper plated, and as new money, millions of yuan were issued. But that's excessive, and now Datang wants to officially implement a new currency system to replace the old money.

What coin? There are three new coins: gold, silver and bronze. A few years ago, Li Chen tried to develop the silver and gold mines of the Wa Kingdom, as well as copper mines. It's been a lot now.

These three new coins will be the most ideal coins in Li Chen's mind. Copper plating and zinc are transitions, mainly to seal the appearance of counterfeit coins. With "high technology", there is no way out for those who mint counterfeit coins.

The effect is good, and there are almost no counterfeit coins on the market today. Because it cannot be imitated, and Li Chen mints a large amount of coins, there is no room for counterfeit coins to survive. In the past, it was too little coinage in the Tang Dynasty to make counterfeit coins prevail.

Now that they have all been killed, and Li Chen has prepared enough precious metals for circulation to implement financial reform, it has been put on the agenda.

'Is this a pattern?' Li Chen looked at the coin placed on the tray, with a red flannel cloth underneath, shiny and shiny, and picked up a copper coin first.

This is a brass coin. Made of a mixture of zinc and copper, it is no longer the kind of bronze coin that was widely circulated before the Ming Dynasty. This brass coin is very much the impression that later generations have of copper coins, yellow and clear. In fact, Li Chen once considered issuing this kind of brass coin as a gold coin and worth 100 yuan, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it and left it until now to become the most basic coin of the Tang Dynasty.

This copper coin has a large Chinese character on the obverse. The back is the galloping horse is still very fine, and the edges are all jagged, and there is no problem.

Then there was the silver coin, Li Chen picked up the silver coin, put it up, blew it gently, and then put it next to his ear to listen, and heard the silver coin ringing. Real silver coins are going to ring. Therefore, when we watch some movies and TV dramas in the early Republic of China, we will see people pick up silver coins, blow them, and put them in their ears to listen to them to identify the authenticity.

There is no silver coin, the front is written two hundred, and the back is the side of Li Chende's head. Datang, one tael of silver is equal to two hundred copper coins, as mentioned earlier, Shu is taxed on silver, and one or two taels of silver can be paid two hundred wen instead.

Then the gold coin, the front is six thousand, representing this gold coin, instead of the six copper coins, and the back is the Tang Dynasty Wanli map, if you look carefully, you can also see the small and small fortune of the same article.

This gold coin has to be anti-counterfeiting, which is nerve-wracking, and Li Chen has no good ideas. However, gold itself is very important, and Archimedes used the density of gold to identify the gold content of the crown. It will introduce a small instrument for checking gold coins.

Simple, you can use a scale, use a scale, and he will launch an official version of the law code, which is equivalent to the weight of one, five, or ten gold coins. Anyway, the specific gravity is reached, and the size is also the same, so big that there will be no fake.

The other is a rectangular utensil that can be held by hand, with a round hole in the top to stuff gold coins into. It needs to be just right and the same weight to fill the hole. Inside, there is a small device for checking the weight.

Troublesome? It's not bad, anyway, because the denomination of gold is too large, there are too few people using it. The silver and bronze coins that really deserve to be at stake. At present, Datang's exchange business is common throughout the country, and businessmen have become accustomed to spending a little money and using flying money to trade in large transactions.

However, there are still some problems with these three coins.
