Volume 5 Chapter 525 Li Er's Ambition!
Although Xu Jingzong's character is not flattering, whether it should be said or not, this guy's ability is still there.
However, in just a few days, dozens of workshops in Dohe County began to operate normally.
Of course, this is also thanks to the cooperation of those craftsmen he brought, for which he paid these craftsmen a huge amount of money, even higher than the wages of Chang'an craftsmen.
"Lang Jun, aren't there just some craftsmen who need to be treated so favorably?" Coming out of a workshop, the old servant asked with some puzzlement.
Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not ours to pay for the money." ”
When it comes to being generous to others, Xu Jingzong has no pressure at all to do it.
Moreover, he can also win the hearts of these craftsmen by the way, why not do it.
"But if you do this, if someone makes trouble in Chang'an in the future......" The old servant was faintly worried, "After all, those guys from the Shi clan have been looking for opportunities to ......"
Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Trouble in Chang'an?" Now that Your Majesty is vigorously revitalizing industry, at this time, do we want to stand with those scholars? ”
If you have to choose a thigh to hug, Xu Jingzong will definitely choose Li Er's thigh.
Besides, the people of the Shi clan looked down on him in the first place, and if they were offended, they were offended.
"You send a notice on behalf of the official." Xu Jingzong said, "From now on, dozens of workshops in Shuihe County will recruit apprentices, and they can participate in the craftsman assessment after three months of study, and once the assessment is passed, they will enjoy the treatment of junior craftsmen." ”
Although he has recruited a lot of people in the past few days, the workers needed by dozens of craftsmen are not a few and a half, and he really wants to become bigger and stronger, in this case, there are a lot of people needed.
"How many apprentices does each workshop enroll?" The old servant asked.
Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, the more the merrier!" Since His Majesty wants to set off an industrial reform in the Tang Dynasty, as a courtier, this official naturally has to respond.
There are only dozens of workshops, but nothing can be changed, and one day, the old man will let all the workshops of Datang do their best.
Watering River County is just a starting point for the old man to display his ambitions! ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Jingzong's old servant posted several notices in Taozhou City to recruit apprentices for various workshops.
For a time, it attracted a lot of discussion among the people in the entire Taozhou City.
"Can you get the treatment of a junior craftsman in three months?" An old man said, "I heard that even junior craftsmen have hundreds of texts now! This is much better than guarding that one-third of an acre of land. ”
"My husband's words are wrong." The old servant Xu Jingzong, who happened to be guarding the notice, said, "According to Xu Juncheng's previous explanation, even if I am the lowest-level craftsman in the workshop of Douhe County, I have a consistent monthly income, and there is one day off every month.
In the busy farming season, there is also a farm break, after all, the land is the day I am waiting for, and nothing can delay the spring sowing and autumn harvest. Of course, if you are willing to stay in the workshop to work during the busy farming season, the workshop will give double the monthly rate.
After all, we can't afford to lose it, and the people of Douhe County are. ”
"Is there such a good thing?" As soon as the old servant said this, many people immediately moved their minds.
The treatment of this workshop is not bad.
You must know that in this bitter cold land in the northwest, if you just expect to eat from the ground, it is really God's food, if there is another way to earn even a little money, then you can share a lot for the family.
"I don't know if the little old man can enter the workshop." At that moment, an old man asked.
As soon as they heard this, everyone waited for the old servant's answer, and if the old man could enter the workshop, they would be able to enter the workshop as well.
After all, there are only a few days of busy farming every year, and there is nothing wrong with earning more money for the family in your spare time.
When the old servant heard this, he smiled and said: "The old man said that he laughed, this workshop is also manual work in the final analysis, and after three months, there will be an assessment, which is indeed a loss for the old man." ”
As he spoke, the old servant pointed to the notice and said, "The notice makes it very clear that the apprentices recruited by the workshop must be under the age of twenty-five, and if they understand some craftsman's skills, the age can be appropriately relaxed.
But don't be discouraged, although the workshop can't recruit the father-in-law, the grandson of the father-in-law must be able to enter the workshop. ”
After listening to the old servant, everyone suddenly understood, but they were not disappointed.
With such a generous treatment, it is inevitable to ask for something, and at that moment, everyone began to discuss it.
Not far away, the eldest grandson Wuji, under the protection of a group of guards, was sitting in a teahouse drinking tea, looking over there, with a faint smile on his face.
After a while, the eldest grandson Fu walked back from there and gave a brief introduction to what happened there.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he smiled and said, "The old man is not wrong, this Xu Jingzong still has some ability." I have to leave this matter to him. ”
For Xu Jingzong's work, the eldest grandson Wuji is not dissatisfied, a person who has ambitions to climb up will naturally seize every opportunity.
He wants to support Li Er, but he doesn't want to offend those guys of the Shi clan too early, so Xu Jingzong is a good fierce general.
With Xu Jingzong in front, he will have more room to maneuver.
"Lang Jun, what should we do next?" Changsun Fu asked.
The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said: "Well, in the name of Taohe County, to open a Taohe business, it is estimated that it will not be long before Xu Jingzong's workshop will be released, and when the time comes, someone will have to help him sell these things."
After all, building so many workshops is not to make money.
The land in Douhe County is barren, and if you want the people of this land to live a good life, you really have to find another way.
By the way, you can contact the caravan passing through Dohe County by the way, and tell them that if Daming can sell it to them, I can sell it to them in Dohe County.
Intercept this batch of caravans, the old man wants to see what confidence Daming still has to negotiate trade ports with us. ”
The reason why he dragged on to negotiate the trade port with the Ming Dynasty was that he felt that his hole cards were not enough, and now, the workshops that Daming had, he didn't dare to say that he had them, but at least he had a certain amount of chips, and he naturally had more confidence at this time.
"The old servant will arrange it." Eldest Sun Fu immediately said.
But after saying that, Changsun Fu looked a little speechless and stopped.
"Say whatever you want." When the eldest grandson Wuji saw him like this, he immediately asked.
"Lang Jun, isn't it ...... that Xu Jingzong gave such a high monthly example to craftsmen," Changsun Fu said, "Although we haven't taken a single penny from it, in the final analysis, this is the money of the imperial court after all, and if it is ...... by someone with a heart?"
"That's it?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Douhe County is already poor, and this is also taken from the people for the people."
You remember, as long as the money is spent on the people, no matter how those people are impeached, Your Majesty will stand on our side, and don't forget, these people are Your Majesty's people in the final analysis. ”
……
At the same time, Chang'an.
Since Li Er finished the birthday banquet, he ordered someone to place the sand table sent by Li Chengqian into his study, and in his spare time, he would always look at it twice.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Wei Guogong, saying that they will arrive in Chang'an in a few days." Just when Li Er was looking at the sand table and was distracted, an inner servant came to report.
Li Er came back to his senses from his trance and said with a smile: "Counting the days, they should indeed come back."
Inform the Ministry of Rites and prepare for the triumph of the army. ”
If he was a little excited about Li Jing and the others winning Xue Yantuo at the beginning, but since he saw the sand table sent by Li Chengqian, he was a little bored with this Xue Yantuo.
After speaking, Li Er turned his gaze to the sand table again, and said to himself: "Why is such a rich land not my Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Chengqian's sand table really aroused his desire for the fertile land in Southeast Asia.
Seeing this, the chamberlain smiled and left.
And when Li Xiaogong got Li Er's message, the whole person was also stunned.
Li Jing and their army triumphed, and Li Er actually brought it over with a fluttering sentence, which was very different from Li Er's excitement at the beginning.
"It seems that Your Majesty is no longer satisfied with a small Xue Yantuo." Li Xiaogong shook his head and said helplessly.
"Lord Wang, what are the specifications for welcoming the triumph of the army?" The Ministry of Rites official asked.
Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Naturally, it is according to the highest specifications of the triumph of the army." ”
Don't look at Li Er, who doesn't seem to pay much attention to the triumphant return of Li Jing's army, but the proper etiquette can't be wrong.
Moreover, Li Er only felt a little bored because he saw the rich land in Southeast Asia, in other words, if Xue Yantuo was still in the north at this time, Li Er would not be able to look at this land that was not fertile.
In the end, it's just that the meat that has been eaten in the bowl is not fragrant in an instant.
The next day, the news that Li Jing led the army to return north spread in Chang'an City, and for a while, the people of Chang'an City also looked honored.
And the Ministry of Rites is also in full swing to prepare for the news of the return of the army to the north.
Of course, Li Er was not idle, and convened Fang Xuanling and others to discuss the two Yi Palaces early in the morning.
There is only one topic for today, and that is the future governance of Xue Yantuo, which has been laid.
As soon as it came to this issue, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo had a fierce quarrel, one supported the use of razing to control razing, and the other firmly believed that the alien race should move inward and the Han people would go north, anyway, the two of them were not on the same point of view on this issue.
"Alright." Li Er saw that the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and said with a smile, "How to govern Xue Yantuo, we might as well learn to be smart."
Simply razing is not good.
The former Sui is the best example, so many fetters and states, what happened in the end? These aliens, once they breathe that breath, they will always find a way to make a comeback.
History has proven this problem countless times.
A short surrender but a disaster to my descendants, is not what I want!
And insisting on letting the alien race go south, the alien race may also be dissatisfied, and it is also very easy to regenerate trouble, which is not a good strategy.
Gao Ming's approach in Sun Moon Mountain has opened up new ideas for me. ”
"Your Majesty wants to mix sand?" Fang Xuanling said, "If that's the case, it's actually feasible. ”
"Sand?" Li Er shook his head, stood up and smiled heroically, and said, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, so why can't the people of the alien race be my people?" ”
Hearing Li Er's words, everyone was stunned, and everyone understood Li Er's meaning in an instant.
Without waiting for everyone to react, Li Er continued: "I plan to set up the Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate in the old land of Xue Yantuo, and Su Guogong will serve as the protector of the capital.
What is to raze and control, what is the state government, what is going south, it is too petty!
Since I am the Son of Heaven, then everyone in the world is my people!
In the past, Yi Nan was a disaster for Yan Ran, but now Yi Nan is ambushed, and the top priority is to appease people's hearts!
Convey the message to the Duke of the Kingdom, and be sure to deal with the matters here.
Yan Ran is the protector of the Mansion, except for Su Guogong, all of them should be allocated by officials, and they will all be inspected from Xue Yantuo's old department. ”
"Your Majesty, no!" After Li Eryi finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "If you are not from my race, your heart will be different!"
These aliens still have to have certain constraints! ”
Fang Xuanling felt that Li Er was crazy, so what was the use of them trying to take down Xue Yantuo?
"Yes, Your Majesty. After all, it is a foreign race, and if you don't take precautions, there will be disasters in the future! Wen Yanbo also stood up and said.
Even Wei Zheng, who had never dealt with him, stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be cautious. ”
Although they disagree politically, they are quite consistent in the general direction.
Moreover, Li Er's move was too bold.
"Interracial? Restraint? Li Er sneered, "Do you want me to restrain my people in the Tang Dynasty?"
Now that they have attached themselves to my Datang, they are the people of my Datang, as for what will happen to them in the future?
Hmph, since ancient times, there has been no reason to condemn in advance for something that did not happen.
I don't care about it in the future, but now, they are the people of my Datang, and no one can change this!
Not only them, but in the future, but similar things, all take this as an example!
Since Datang is big, it must have the courage to embrace all things!
No matter how alien it is, as long as it is integrated into my Datang, it is the people of Datang! ”
"Your Majesty......" When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted, but Li Er waved his hand slightly and said, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind!" ”
With that, Li Er got up and left.
It can be seen that his attitude is quite resolute.
"That's good." As soon as Li Er left, everyone started to talk about it.
For foreign races, especially Fang Xuanling, none of them are at ease.
That's an alien race!
"Actually, it's not impossible." Li Daozong said, "Since they have already attached themselves to my Datang, they are naturally the people of my Datang, what's wrong with this?"
It's all my Tang people, do you have to treat them differently? ”
"It's not a problem...... Fang Xuanling said, sighed, and said, "Hey, what Your Majesty wants is more than a Xue Yantuo?"
But as the old saying goes, although a country is big, it will perish if it is warlike! ”
"But as the old saying goes, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous!" Li Daozong said with a smile.
They didn't know what Li Er thought, but as military generals, they didn't have any opinions at all, and they wished that Li Er would order troops to send them to continue the expedition now.
Military generals naturally have to make contributions on the battlefield.
For a while, everyone was noisy again.
In the final analysis, this matter is just one sentence, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, anyway, both sides insist on their own words.
In the end, I couldn't come up with a reason.
Until the people left the palace, they did not see anyone convincing anyone.
"Your Highness, a sand table, has completely aroused Your Majesty's desire." After Fang Xuanling saw the martial artists leaving, he shook his head and sighed, "But the Tang Dynasty, you can't even have a neighbor around, right?" ”
"But although the land of Datang is vast enough, there is really not much land suitable for farming." Dai Bin said, "Don't say Your Majesty, the old man is also very greedy when he sees those lands."
If those fertile lands belong to my Datang, then even if my Datang faces natural disasters, a few fewer people will die, right? ”
As the secretary of the household department, when there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is the time when his household department is the most tight, so he naturally hopes that Datang can have more land and more food.
Money and food are a thing that can only be hated when it is used.
"Hey......" Fang Xuanling sighed, he knew this truth, but he understood even more that Datang couldn't do this.
The glory of the Tang Dynasty comes from the trust of the surrounding countries, so there can't be only one Tang Dynasty left in the world, right?
Where is Datang's sense of superiority reflected?
Moreover, the country is too big, the population is too mixed, and it is also a trouble to govern.
"Your Highness is really calculating!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.
This time, no one contradicted him.
Indeed, Li Chengqian just used a sand table to attract Li Er's attention.
Originally, Li Er's attention should have been on Li Chengqian, but now it's okay, and it's all diverted.
"Looks like it's time for the old man to do something."
Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Wei Zheng immediately asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”
"You'll find out afterwards." After that, Fang Xuanling brushed his sleeves and left.
Looking at him like that, he was obviously holding back some big move.
I'm sorry.,I've been in bad health lately.,There's something wrong with the update.,But don't worry about the follow-up.,The leave slip has run out.,I can't ask for leave...... I'm getting better, I'll make up for it.
