Chapter 220: Look Away
Emperor Li Shimin's insights opened Fan Jingjing's eyes, and Fan Jingjing also realized that the imperial court would not have too much money without feeding the people.
No matter how much the imperial court collects taxes, it can't collect too much, starving the people to death, which is equivalent to sheep eating all the grassroots.
If the grass roots are eaten, the land will be barren, and there will be no grass to eat the next year.
If there is no grass in a large area, the sheep will not be able to live.
In other words, the imperial court will go to a dead end on its own.
In order to continue to collect taxes, even if the magistrates are not knowledgeable, the rulers of the imperial court can see it clearly.
The interests of the imperial court and the central government are different, and for the people of the imperial court, it is definitely a big deal to harvest the place and have no tax revenue to do things next year.
In the central government, everyone is a human spirit, not to mention the emperor!
The emperor may not be wise and mighty, and he may not be able to think so much, but the emperor who is reigning now is Li Shimin! How could Li Shimin tolerate the reduction of the imperial court's taxes.
The money of the imperial court is limited, and there is too much money to spend, so what should I do?
Only energy saving and carbon reduction can be done for environmental protection.
At this time, the money of the imperial court could not even maintain basic governance, and the places below the county level had to be handed over to the local gentry to govern, so that the places below the county level were almost bleak, and people could only be truly known if they went out of the county.
In the shadows, no one knows what is going on, not even the magistrates, who only pay attention to the people inside the city, but what is going on outside the city, who knows?
Just like the Fan Family Manor, if it weren't for the attention and outside Chang'an, who would know what the people in the Fan Family Manor were doing?
In fact, the people outside were very concerned, if it weren't for the prince and princess inside, the emperor really didn't know much about the changes in the Fan family's manor.
But the changes in Fanjia Town, they can grasp it.
But Fanjia Town is not the seat of the county government, and they don't have the strength to manage it! It could only be entrusted to the local gentry.
But Fanjia Town was originally a wasteland, everyone was an outsider, and the appearance of the gentry was often the slowest.
Moreover, most of the land in Fanjia Town belongs to Fan Jingjing and the hired workers of Fanjia Manor, will they still listen to others?
No, they can only listen to Fan Jingjing's words.
When later generations stepped into the age of science and technology, they could not pay the intellectual property rights fee, and people had to try their best to pirate copies.
There is no pirated copy, but it is precisely because of this that everyone can have a computer to use, and with the basic ability of the computer, there is no need to teach through the academy.
Fan Jingjing suddenly figured it out, and wanted to implement smart property rights in this era when everyone couldn't get enough to eat, unless the things made were incomprehensible or did not affect people's livelihood.
The reason why the emperor refused to let the bicycle be in the hands of the Fan family manor was because in their eyes, this was tantamount to a militaristic heavy weapon, and if the militaristic heavy weapon was left out, it was likely to cause national security problems.
Moreover, it is very simple to imitate a bicycle.
Fan Jingjing sighed and accepted the emperor's threat, it seems that the priority development in the future must not be a heavy weapon of the military state, so the imperial court has no reason to confiscate it.
Wechen is willing to submit the bicycle and the practice. However, the workshop of the Fan family manor will continue to study the bicycle and make it more advanced.
There are many great craftsmen in the workshop, and Wechen hopes that they can surpass the products of the Fan family's workshop. ”
Emperor Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and she understood what Fan Jingjing meant.
In the future, it is inevitable that someone will work on it, and the quality is unpredictable.
Now the craftsmen's workshops are skilled craftsmen, but what about the future?
I have to say that Emperor Li Shimin is also a person with a big brain.
After Fan Jingjing agreed, Emperor Li Shimin had nothing to talk to Fan Jingjing, Li Jing looked at the emperor with admiration on the side, and sure enough, the emperor was unstoppable. Fan Jingjing didn't dare to ask for money.
But he still felt that it was a bit inauthentic, and he didn't give Fan Jingjing any benefits, at least Fan Jingjing presented something so beneficial to the country and the people, he couldn't help but give some benefits.
"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that the production of this thing is beneficial to the country and the people."
Li Jing knew that he was not suitable to influence the emperor's will, and if he should point it out, it would be good to point it out.
"What reward does Fan Qing want?"
Although the credit is a bit big, it is impossible to promote the title, and it is not suitable for women to be officials, so it is better to ask Fan Jingjing what she actually needs.
"A new Fanjia town has appeared outside Weichen Manor, and the street has gradually become lively, and there are more people coming and going, and many people have settled down.
However, the imperial court did not have the ability to govern places outside the county seat.
Therefore, Weichen asked to obtain the administrative power of Fanjia Town, as well as the development right of wasteland within a hundred miles of Fanjia Town. ”
"Although it is a wasteland, it is not good to be barren, there is no way to bring taxes, Fan Qing brought many special seeds, these seeds, the demand environment is different, maybe they can be planted in this wasteland.
After giving you the wasteland, if it can be developed within ten years, I will not take it back. ”
Emperor Li Shimin thought to himself, giving you ten years is enough for you to develop a wasteland, study what you can plant, and have output.
Emperor Li Shimin was very satisfied with this will, and the imperial court was able to collect more taxes.
After Fan Jingjing walked out of the palace, she felt very aggrieved, and in the future, she would give priority to the development of research that she could not see, as well as the improvement of daily life, so that she would not be able to be selfish at every turn because of national military secrets and national events, so she had to send the developed research to the court of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Fan Jingjing knows some things, she can't develop them all, her ability is limited alone, and she also needs to be able to brainstorm things she develops.
In the future, the level of employees in the Fan family manor will be promoted, and they must pass an examination before they can be hired.
As for what to test, just test the content of scientific journals.
Divide them into categories so that they can specialize in reading.
If there is something to do, Fan Jingjing doesn't want to stay in Chang'an longer, Liang Shu and they also purchased a lot, all of which are needed by the Fan family manor, but they are not produced.
Merchants even hope that they can redeem them with point cards, which are convenient and enough to purchase things in Fanjia Town.
Nowadays, Fanjia Town produces a lot of fashionable goods, which are easy to sell.
Not to mention, there is a lot of cutting-edge research in the Fan family manor.
Carrying silver is very heavy, since the merchant wants a point card, Liang Shu spent all the point cards on his body, and exchanged Kaiyuan Tongbao for food.
Food prices are stable and versatile.
Although the people in the Fan family manor eat the products of the Fan family, the people in Fan family town need ordinary food.
Many people are hired workers in the Fan family's manor, and they can bargain a lot of money when buying on such a large scale.
Liang Shu is in charge of bargaining today.
Every day, the Liang family manor will send people, and the merchants have basically been fixed, and now it is effortless to deal with these things.
This time they came on bicycles and bought more things.
Maybe tomorrow's people won't have to go out to shop.
"Let's go back!"
What Fan Jingjing said was more effective than the holy decree, Liang Shu and the others responded, and went home with a large bag.
"The road needs to be repaired! After repairing, the bicycle will also be easier to walk. ”
Fan Jingjing walked halfway and said suddenly, but wanted to go back and suggest to the emperor, Fan Jingjing hesitated.
Riding back, the road is dangerous and obstructive.
Forget it, now Fanjia Town is also as big as a county in later generations, and the emperor is very concerned about the tricks made by Fan Jingjing, an outsider, if the road planning of Fanjia Town is repaired, it should be able to attract the emperor to come and see!
It's just that the road of the horse is the same as the way of the wheel, or is it different, will the emperor come on horseback? Still coming by Luan, in fact, walking on the new road in a sedan chair, you can still feel the difference, but the difference is not so big.
What's more, the empty words, the emperor Lao Tzu has probably heard it, what is more trustworthy than the real thing?
Elsewhere, no matter how much you do it, no one can see it! Unless you do it in the county government, but in the county office, if you want to do things, the errand will not care?
Many things, there is already a fixed order.
People are against the collapse of order, whether it is good or bad, and changing order can be confusing.
What's more, change may not be able to see the effect quickly.
Quick results are rare.
On the contrary, Fanjia Town, almost a blank space, if you give him order, people will think that this is the order of this place, and consciously abide by it.
If he thinks that this order is not good for him, he will not come to participate in it at all.
Therefore, Fanjiazhen is all people who agree with the new order of Fanjiazhen.
Moreover, the new order of Fanjia Town is to seek innovation and change.
Every change is clear and unintimidating.
The people who came to live in Fanjia Town have unconsciously accepted the moderate changes.
There is no change in the backwater, but the people of Fanjiazhen can't accept it.
Not to mention the Fan family manor, there are new things every day, and new things make their lives better, so they like new things very much.
Fan Jingjing brought them a good life, and it was a big change from the beginning.
How can they be willing to go back to a peaceful life?
Fan Jingjing is actually very clear about the changes in the people's hearts.
If there was no such change, the Fan family manor would not have developed to the current point.
Niu Feiling is also ruthless, and he was able to follow the Fan family before the matter of the Fan family's manor was fermented, so he also reaped a lot of benefits.
made the Niu family manor a lot bigger, and even because the father of the child in her belly was Niu Shijin, she forcibly took away a lot of new seeds.
In fact, Fan Jingjing has always felt that she is at a loss.
However, Mrs. Niu clearly had a different idea.
She thinks that Fan Jingjing is her daughter-in-law, and isn't it a matter of course for her daughter-in-law to be filial to her elders and help the family develop?
Fan Jingjing returned to the manor, doing what she usually did step by step, thinking about how to make more money.
Only the greater the flow of money, can the entire Datang economy be revitalized.
However, food has restricted the development of Datang.
Thinking of food, Fan Jingjing's eyes suddenly lit up, whether it was the wheat outside or the wheat in the Fan family's manor, it could be ground into flour, and flour could be used to make soup cakes, noodles, and many other foods.
But too much food is too cumbersome for the people to take to work in the fields.
Soup cakes are very popular in Guanzhong, regardless of what kind of flour is used.
However, when the soup cake is steamed or cooked, it does not taste good.
However, what if yeast powder is added to the soup cake?
Fan Jingjing asked the people in the manor to start cultivating yeast.
It's just that the yeast matter is too trivial, and she has done a lot of things, so she forgets about it.
Now that a lot of time has passed, the amount of yeast that has been cultivated should be quite large.
In fact, the cultivation of yeast is very fast.
Yeast is also a type of bacteria, and the multiplication of bacteria is naturally very fast.
"Big lady, Wen Qing has something to look for you." Sun Erlang came to report.
The people of the Fan family manor generally don't come to Fan Jingjing directly, knowing that Fan Jingjing is very busy, so they will find Sun Erlang and tell Fan Jingjing what they want to report, if it is not important, Sun Erlang can handle it, he will deal with it first.
If it was important, he would let someone bring it to Fan Jingjing.
Sun Erlang personally brought people over, which means that things are very important.
"Wenqing?" There are a lot of people in the Fan family manor, and Fan Jingjing can't recognize everyone anymore.
But the people who Sun Erlang will directly call by name are often the people who Fan Jingjing has a special task to explain.
But this person probably hasn't looked for Fan Jingjing much recently, so Fan Jingjing has forgotten about people.
"It's Wenqing who cultivates yeast. Recently, the amount of yeast has been too much. The yeast food prepared for him was a bit insufficient, and he didn't want to waste it. So Wen Qing came to ask for instructions, what is the function of yeast. ”
Wen Qing knew very well that if the yeast had no function and could not make more money for the Fan family's manor, it was okay to raise some, but if it continued to consume more resources, there would be no need.
But if it is functional and can make money, then it is necessary to expand the training.
The people of Fan's Manor are very economically minded, and they are also on par with "profit", so I don't know if it will constitute a lack of development of Fan's Manor in the future.
Forget it, if there's anything missing, change it.
The Fan family manor was originally a body of change, and the ability to withstand change was very large.
Wen Qing felt that it was impossible for Mrs. Fan to let him take care of yeast without function.
It's just that Wen Qing waited left and right, there were too many yeasts, but he didn't wait for the next instructions.
If the yeast had no function, he wouldn't have been able to get more rewards, and he wouldn't have been able to raise his eyebrows in the Fan family's manor.
Everyone, in the Fan family manor, expects to be useful.
Fan Jingjing clapped her hands, she really forgot about the yeast.
Yeast is a good thing, it turns dead dough into living dough.
And it swells many times, and the taste is delicious.
That is, yeast can make steamed bread!
Using yeast to make steamed buns, the emperor will not rob her, and the yeast is steamed to make steamed buns, and the yeast has long died.
There is no possibility of imitation.
Unless someone learns how to make yeast from the Fan family's manor.
Steamed buns can't be sold expensive, if they are cheap, they can be eaten every day, every day.
Ten steamed buns earn a penny, but how many people in the world are willing to eat steamed buns for breakfast!
Even, if sugar is added to the steamed bun, the taste will be even better.
Sugar and salt are produced in Fan's manor, and salt can't be sold outside.
As for grain, it is much cheaper to go to the countryside to harvest it than to go to Chang'an to buy it.
There are bicycles that can be transported, and they can be sold cheaper.
