The fiftieth verse is full of smoke
Yun Ye knew very well what Lao Du said, the eldest grandson's family almost gambled their lives for the hot air balloon, and spent a lot of money in the academy in the hope of getting the best thruster, but there is no progress yet, and they can only use the wind to make a short flight.
Li Tai's heart is higher than the sky, he dreams that one day his flight speed can surpass the fastest flying birds, and the flight in his heart is definitely not something that can be represented by a slow thing like a hot air balloon.
The commerce of the Tang Dynasty has almost reached its peak now, the merchants have searched for the absolute domain, from the desert, the next door, the ocean, and the foreign land to bring back countless curiosities, and countless Hu traders in Chang'an City are holding rare treasures along the street to sell, and the proud Chang'an people face these treasures, just snort contemptuously, and begin to find fault with the various flaws of the treasures. Until the Hu people trader was red-faced and red-eared.
With the prosperity of commerce, a variety of new bookkeeping methods emerge in endlessly, in the Eastern Han Dynasty Wuliang Temple relief carved on the "Fuxi Cangjing, the first king's industry, draw hexagrams and knots, to Li Hainei" record, that is to say, when the Fuxi clan is the leader of the tribe, with the help of gossip and knotted rope counting, remembering and other methods to manage the tribe's production activities and daily life, such economic activities are already a distant legend for the Tang people, and the Tubo people, the Turkic people, the Tuyuhun people, and the Xue Yantuo people are still using knots to record their account books.
In this way, in the economic activities carried out with each other, there is no way for the person who uses the rope to keep the account to conduct complex transactions with the person who takes the account, especially in Chang'an, Fang Xuanling can't understand the account book, expect the Hu people to be able to understand it?
Military plunder is only part of it, and the most brutal plunder is commercial plunder, the Hu people will only find that their goods are becoming less and less valuable, while Datang's materials are becoming more and more expensive, Datang only needs their most primitive products, and has no interest in those products that have been formed. That is to say, if you take a piece of jade without carving to Chang'an, you may be able to sell it for a good price, but you can't sell it in Chang'an with a beautifully carved jade carving.
The cunning Tang merchants found that the more complex the bookkeeping methods and business models, the more beneficial they were, so much so that the ledger is now jerky and cold to the point that even a wise person like Fang Xuanling can't understand it.
"Du Xiang, it's not right to do this, continue to develop like this. The ledger loses its original meaning, what is an account? Accounts are a way to record the economic activities of the country, the firm, or the individual, the more concise and clear the better, how to become a secret belonging to a person, so bookkeeping, it shows that his original intention is to deceive, once he begins to use accounts to deceive. It will become a great evil.
When Fang Xiang saw such an account book at first sight, he should have taken these bastards into Dali Temple to ask for crimes, the first thing to ask is whether there is anything greedy, if there is, the misdemeanor should also be sentenced heavily, I think it is a good idea to send them far to Yazhou. Even if there is no sin, let us use the most vicious mind to try out his mind for such an account. Dismissal should be an effective tool. ”
After listening to Yun Ye's words, Du Ruhui put down his job. Puzzled, he said: "The dynasty is now in a time of rapid change, and the old man and others can no longer judge the interests of a thing. Just like before, we thought it was the wrong thing, but after more than ten years, we found that they were right, such as the ban on opening up merchants, since ancient times. We believe that farming has only three times the benefits, working only five times the benefits, and doing business will have a hundred times the benefits, and we are very worried about the ban once it is lifted. It will cause Guan Zhong's old affairs in the Qi Kingdom, there will be barren farmland, hundreds of workers will be abandoned, and everyone will want to become a businessman and chase a hundredfold profit.
However, now it does not seem to be the case, the farmer is still farming, the farmland is not abandoned, the workman is still working, the hundred workers are becoming more and more exquisite, the number of businessmen has indeed increased, but it has brought countless taxes to the country, Yunhou is far away in the border pass does not know, this year's agricultural tax has dropped by three percent again, not only that, the rent is adjusting, these three are also declining steadily, the old man is optimistic that there will be another ten years, the agricultural tax will be completely realized.
What does Yunhou know about the tax on agriculture? It means that the people will never rebel again, as long as they cultivate, they will have no shortage of food and clothing, and the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty can naturally last for thousands of years, so His Majesty will start to shift the focus of prevention from the people to the heads of our nobles, hehe, His Majesty's policy must be to further relieve the burden of the peasants, even if Yunhou's current situation is so embarrassing, His Majesty is still unwilling to use troops on a large scale, because His Majesty decided to pacify the people as the first priority.
You know? Lao Wei has now become a city gate official, but his health is miraculously good, and he has become a tyrant in Chang'an every day when he steps on the horizontal knife and goes to Changle Gate to inspect the lawbreakers.
The old man will be searched by him, and the last time he actually took away the old man's jade pendant, saying that it was a red envelope that should be given, saying that he had endured honesty for a lifetime, and now he could finally justifiably blackmail hundreds of officials, and said that the position of Chengmenlang was too oily, and the officials who had been in vain for decades earlier. “
Speaking of Wei Zheng's matter, Du Ruhui stroked his stomach and was very happy, Lao Wei made the emperor angry half to death, if it weren't for Sun Simiao, maybe he would have been able to control Bintian, and finally came back to life, as if he had forgotten Wei Zheng's storage, so it would be very good. "The old man is now envious of Lao Wei, every morning when he gets up, he sneaks to Changle Gate to guard the door to loosen his muscles, and he can also bully everyone below the queen at will, and treat a city gate lang as more beautiful than the prime minister, and the old man will be satisfied with half of Lao Wei's majesty after he is wise."
Yun Ye could see that Du Ruhui was really preparing for his retirement now, not only him, but also Fang Xuanling, otherwise there would never be a matter of asking the academy students to help him interpret the account books.
The old guys are planning to start and finish well, and they don't know if their plans will succeed.
Xu Jingzong has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, since he has a group of heavy soldiers guarding the chaotic stone city, he will naturally run his old nest without leaking, since Yun Ye left, he has continued to strengthen the fortress according to the eight formations left by Yuan Shoucheng, saving money Xu Jingzong does not do this kind of thing in the army, how much money is not as valuable as his old life, all the caravans who come back from Yumen Pass must consign cement to him, and those who do not consign will not want to get supplies in Loulan's generation.
Inspecting the Stone City every day has become his routine duty, and when he saw a harrier eagle falling into the mansion, he hurried down the city wall, and his heart was constantly beating drums, hoping that the news from the harrier eagle was a good thing.
After pouring out the note from the bamboo tube and reading it carefully, he sat on the chair, and the adjutant general took the note and immediately shouted after reading it: "Prepare for war!" "Xu Jingzong is a civilian official, and if he wants to prepare to defend the city at this time, he is naturally responsible for the battle.
Xu Jingzong took a long breath and stuffed the note into the bamboo pipe again, and immediately wrote two letters with a pen, and the two teams rode fast horses to Guanzhong and Gaochang. "I can't escape, damn it, follow Yun Ye, a bastard, and I've been shocked three times a day in this life, but it's okay, it's not a vain job, since the world has attacked Tang, it's not stable when I get there, Chaos Stone City is my hard work, and it's not a big deal to fight it."
After cheering himself up, he asked Hu Ji to change into a battle armor for himself, the Yun family's battle armor is light and strong, it is the best choice for civil officials, he changed a set from the Yun family in the early years, and originally thought that it would be a good decoration, but he never thought that there would be a day to save his life by relying on it.
The Turks will not come to find their bad luck, there is Guo Xiaoke in front of them, only the Tubo people can come, Guo Xiaoke of the dog day has nothing to do and ran to Qiuzi to do something? Isn't this sent to the wolf's mouth?
Brainless and stubborn, stubborn, the Turkic coalition army pounced on 500,000 people, and they rushed forward vigorously without tidying up the defense line, which was looking for death.
Xu Jingzong sighed, Guo Xiaoke's death was not a pity, and his soldiers couldn't help it, so he called in a team of scouts and wrote a new letter, ordering them to send this letter to Guo Xiaoke no matter what, as quickly as possible.
On the city wall, seeing that the lieutenants and lieutenants were struggling to prepare for the city defense, I couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to find that the sky above the stone city was covered with dark clouds, and the wind blew through the pile of stones, making a whining sound like a mustache, full of desolation. "Left full rudder!" Liu Renyuan stood on the bridge and kept ordering, the Great Emperor passed through the waves, and the huge bow stabbed into a large cannibal ship, and when the waves rose, the ship was lifted high, and then broke into two. The crossbow windows on both sides of the battleship were all opened, and thick crossbow arrows were spewing out frantically.
The flames continued to erupt on the sea, and the cannibal ships were still attacking frantically. "Dashuai, our auxiliary ships are about to be overwhelmed, all six battleships are surrounded by enemy ships, we should go back to the rescue," his vice admiral said loudly to Liu Ren. "I won't go, there is the enemy chieftain's ship in front, what we have to do is destroy it, sue the auxiliary ship, hold on, hold on for another half an hour, and we will go back."
A low horn sounded on the Emperor, and the captain of the auxiliary ship heard the horn, wiped the blood stains from his face and said loudly: "Brothers, the Emperor wants us to hold on for an hour, he goes to catch the enemy chieftain, hold on, oil barrels, three feet above sea level, three points of arquebus, launch!" "I'm going to catch this beast and ask him if he has eaten the bear's heart leopard guts and dares to destroy the strait pass, and Lao Tzu will stick him alive on a wooden pole and put it on Crab Island for the seabirds to devour."
Liu Renyuan was already about to go crazy with anger, the big cannibal dared to sneak attack the strait, and sent the red-clothed warriors to break through the pass, and all the sergeants were inserted on the wooden poles by them to show the public, and this hatred could not be reported. (To be continued......)
