Chapter 276: Abolition
The day is February 6.
Since the first emperor Li Zhi in May of the second year of Xianqing, the prime minister asked the world to be safe, please look at the court the next day, and then change to a single day to go to the court, and two days not to go to the court. Therefore, February 6 is not a day of court.
Although he did not go to court on this day, the new emperor Li Xian sat in the Qianyuan Palace, read and wrote, and watched some ministers loyal to the new emperor copy the songs.
Suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Li Xian looked up.
I saw that Empress Dowager Wu and Pei Yan led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs into the main hall, and General Zuo Xiaowei, Cheng Wuting of the Left Yulin Army of the Inspector and General Wei of the Right Army, and Zhang Qianqiao of the Right Yulin Wei of the Inspectorate School followed behind him.
For a time, the Qianyuan Palace, which was originally a hundred officials and the emperor listened to the government, was murderous, Li Xian quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "The son has seen the queen mother. ”
Empress Dowager Wu didn't have any waves on her face, and then said: "The emperor listens to Xuan." ”
Liu Yizhi, one of the former scholars of the North Gate, slowly opened the edict and announced the order of the Queen Mother.
"The abolished emperor Li Zhe is the king of Luling, and he will help the palace"
Li Xian was stunned, stared at the civil and military ministers, and said: "You are rich today because of the grace of the previous emperor, Pei Yan, you were entrusted by the first emperor to be the only minister, are you worthy of the first emperor?" ”
The civil and military ministers were silent.
Li Xian turned to the Empress Dowager Wu and asked, "Ah Niang, what is my sin?" ”
Empress Dowager Wu took a deep breath and sighed: "You will be guilty of the world and Wei Xuanzhen, how can you be innocent?" ”
Li Xian stared at the Empress Dowager Wu in a daze, speechless for a long time. He sat down on top of the Danqi, stared at the civil and military ministers, and never said a word again.
Empress Dowager Wu instructed: "Fululing King go to Wencheng Hall to rest!" ”
this day. Queen Wei was watching the palace maids flying kites, with a charming smile on her face, she was already a heavenly fragrance country, her posture was very bright, and this smile was even brighter. But then a team of Yulin guards broke in, Liu Yizhi read out the edict of the abolished queen, and she fell to the ground at once.
Same. Wei Xuanzhen's family, old and young, dozens of people flow to Qinzhou, Lingnan.
Such a great change has taken place in the court, the coffin of the first emperor is still in the Taimiao, and the new emperor has been on the throne for less than two months. After only one month and six days, he was deposed as the king of Luling, and the officials were shocked. In Chenzhuang, outside Luoyang City, it is quite warm.
Wu Qing sat idly on the attic. On the side, Wu Yu'er and Yushu were serving. He looked at the farmers who were plowing the soil in the field in the distance and said, "I didn't expect this grange to be thirty hectares long. Then he looked at Yishui, which was slowly flowing eastward, and asked, "How much land does our family have now?" ”
Wu Yu'er drank a cup of tea, and the touch of spring on her face has not faded until now, and said: "Our family originally had one hundred and thirty hectares of fertile land, and now with the princess's more than two thousand real seals, there are a total of two thousand two hundred hectares of fertile land and thirteen granges. Five estates. ”
Wu Qing was shocked in his heart, how could his family have so much land. I can't help asking, "There's no enclosure, right?" ”
Wu Yu'er smiled: "How dare you, Ah Lang has warned the slave family." The slave family didn't dare to disobey Ah Lang. ”
Wu Qing nodded, he had to start from himself in order for this empire to have hope, and asked, "How many stores do we have?" ”
Wu Yu'er pondered for a moment and said: "If you don't count the semicolons opened by those shopkeepers, there are 12,533 restaurants in total, 238 restaurants, and the total profit of the shops is 20 million guan, and the total profit of the restaurant is 8 million guan. ”
Wu Qing nodded, there are so many shops, and the profit is not much, "How much does Haimao profit?" ”
"The sea trade is 27 million guan." Wu Yuer said.
It seems that the main profit is still in the sea trade, it seems that it is necessary to increase the sea trade, and then said: "Let Xiao Wan allocate three million yuan to the Shipbuilding Research Institute, and let them research super sea ships for me, I will be of great use." ”
Wu Yu'er said: "Ah Lang, after several years of maritime trade, although the profit has increased year by year, but those earliest sea ships need to be repaired or abandoned, is this money enough?" ”
Wu Qing thought about it, although those sea ships could not sail far, it was a pity to dismantle them, and the repair cost was large, suddenly, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "In this way, set up an ocean school for me in Quanzhou, specializing in training seafaring crews, those scrapped sea ships, there is no need to dismantle, just repair them, and put them in that school for practice." ”
Wu Yu'er's eyes lit up, and she praised: "Ah Lang is really a fairy-like character, and he can come up with such a method, but you still have to talk to Xiao Wan about this, I said it, I'm afraid she has a pimple in her heart." ”
"I see, if I forget, you'll have to give me a heads-up, it's really important!" Wu Qing said.
At this time, Wu Qing's chest stirred up a thousand waves, if this marine school is built and transformed into a naval academy in the future, then is it okay for them to open up overseas colonies? He knew that the capitalist world had only set off the wave of the industrial revolution by plundering a large amount of wealth from overseas colonies.
Wu Qing is naturally not a lover of peace, this world is a world of natural selection, the superior wins, and the inferior is eliminated. How could he, as a mortal, change this law?
And judging from the world pattern in the previous life, whoever conquered the ocean didn't conquer the whole world?
Of course, the premise of this is that the sea ship must become a super warship, otherwise in the ocean, today's sea ships still do not have much survivability.
Now that he is almost idle at home, it is better to study some of the technologies that can be realized in this era, and teach them in the Qingxin Academy first, if he can see that gunpowder can be widely used in his lifetime, that iron-smelting technology has made great progress, and that he can promote the large-scale production of iron equipment, that agriculture and science and technology have improved significantly, and that he is absolutely strong militarily, then he will be satisfied.
As for the steam age or the industrial age or anything, he didn't have to think about it, it was a fool's dream to let a backward feudal era suddenly leap into such a state. The development of a civilization is gradual, he doesn't think he has that ability, he can only pave the way, maybe a hundred years later, the road he paved will play a huge role, and the empire has entered a leapfrog development is unknown.
In short, Wu Qing will not be delusional, he can only move forward step by step, slowly guide the consciousness of the people of this empire, and then slowly move forward. He loved this era because it gave him a chance to stand on the top of a mountain; He loved the empire because its history would be engraved with his name; He loved all his women because they gave him tenderness and also gave him a sense of responsibility.
Wu Qing laughed, then took Wu Yu'er and Yushu's hands and walked towards the room. (To be continued......)
