Chapter 764: The Flood Beast is Lishan

The concerts from all over the country were sent to Chang'an City, and Guanzhong was still governed.

But the Yellow River goes out of Luoyang, and Henan and Shandong along the river are not well prepared.

This time, there are still many places that have neglected to take precautions during the flood season of the Yellow River.

Most of the agriculture in the Central Plains is based on the small-scale peasant economy of the Yellow River.

Dependent on the Yellow River, but also subject to the Yellow River.

All dynasties have fought against the Yellow River and managed it well.

The news was sent to the central government, and Li Shimin immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang, and Cen Wenwen.

Holding the concerts from various places, he analyzed the current situation.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Three thousand acres in Henan, five thousand acres in Shandong, these fields are soaked in water, you can talk about it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face is not good-looking, and it has a lot to do with him in the appointment of scholars and officials in various places.

Wei Zhengyan said: "How is the grain stored by the government in various places this year? ”

Cen Wenwen replied with the dossier in his hand: "Henan has 50,000 stone of grain reserves, and Luoyang and Shandong also have the most sufficient grain to cope with this flood, and 100,000 stone is enough." ”

100,000 stone of grain is indeed enough to cope with this flood.

What made Li Shimin unhappy was that Guanzhong attached great importance to the management of the Yellow River during the flood season, and the Shaoqing Shangguanyi of Taifu Temple had already informed the townships and counties when the rain first came, so that there was no hidden danger.

After all, the situation in various parts of the Central Plains is different, and other places should also pay as much attention as Guanzhong.

Li Shimin looked displeased, he didn't want the Yellow River flood to be used by someone with a heart this time.

In the end, the emperor's gaze fell on the eldest grandson Wuji.

The management after the flood is not a problem, and the grain harvest in the Central Plains since the fourth year of Zhenguan has given Datang enough confidence to deal with this flood.

Facing His Majesty's gaze, the eldest grandson Wuji said in unison: "Your Majesty, the minister will arrange for someone to inquire about the state capitals. ”

Li Shimin nodded at this time, and said with a straight face: "Xuan Ling, you arrange for people to go and be questioned by various villages and counties. ”

"Whoa."

Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the officials of the county and state capitals where the flood is located should also be punished. ”

Li Shimin nodded.

The Ganlu Hall was discussed for a long time, and everything from governance to politics to subsequent grain release was arranged.

The Tang Dynasty began to operate for this flood.

And this time the floods also highlighted a problem, the DPRK and China are still too lax in their control over various places.

Li Shimin took advantage of this incident to once again dismiss many officials who had misgoverned in various places, and replaced them with officials selected by the imperial examination.

Zhang Yang was not surprised to hear the news, Taifu Temple did not have much power to manage the state capitals in various places.

Aunt Yang came with two packages, "County Marquis, this is from the secretary." ”

First, she put down her burden, and her aunt handed over a volume of letters, "This is the news sent by Nanzhao." ”

Zhang Yang opened the letter, it was the news sent by Brother He Bi, he had already taken most of the land in Nanzhao's siege, and he also said that he would block the news that Nanzhao would lead to Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Now he is very close to the capital of Nanzhao, and the king of Nanzhao is in Taihe City, as long as he takes this city and controls the entire Nanzhao, it is not difficult.

According to the time when the news was delivered, the news was sent at the beginning of the year, and now it is almost June.

In the past six months, when Lishan sends a letter again, maybe they have already won Nanzhao.

"Where did this man get his horses?" Zhang Yang burned the letter in confusion.

With dozens of people into Nanzhao, he can now pull up a team of thousands to attack Yamato City all the way.

With the strength of Nanzhao, a group of dozens of people is counted as an army, hundreds of people can take a village, and thousands of people are a large army.

Such a group of soldiers and horses can be watched by Nanzhao.

Zhang Yang didn't plan to reply to He Bi, but he couldn't stop him, and he didn't know how long the letter would have to wait for Nanzhao to arrive.

It's useless to persuade a person like him not to be a faint king.

has always been free and idle habits, he wants to stay in Nanzhao to be a faint king, and it is up to him.

As for his ideal, after winning Nanzhao, he will be the king of Nanzhao and drink with Tian Khan, whether this guy still remembers it.

He doesn't want to come back, or he doesn't.

In short, why bother to be someone who Lishan can control, he has been out of control since the moment he left Guanzhong.

Zhang Yang set his eyes on the file in front of him, which was sent by the secretary.

According to Cen Wenwen's explanation, he hoped that Lishan could sort out all kinds of taxes in various places and formulate a summary.

Zhang Yang looked at one file after another, these files are very old, and there are records from the Great Cause of the Former Sui Dynasty, which have no reference at all.

Wu De's dossier records six years ago are also broken.

Many of them are missing, or incomplete.

Zhang Yang simply classified these movements, from the year of Daye, to Wude, and then to the year of Zhenguan, three piles of dossiers were placed in front of him.

During the Great Cause years, there was a lot of chaos in various places, and there were many taxes that could be collected, or there were no taxes at all.

However, there are many volumes in Luoyang, except for the most prosperous area in the Central Plains of Chang'an City, which is Luoyang.

Looking at the concerts in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, the taxes paid by Wude six years ago have also been cut off.

However, in the early years of Wude, there were wars all over the Central Plains, and it was normal that there was no record.

The sky was thick with clouds that had finally begun to dissipate, and the sunlight had pierced through the clouds, and when I looked up, I could see streaks of light coming out of the clouds.

A bright ray of sunlight is now shining on Lishan, and it is also very comfortable to shine on the body.

Then the wind picked up, and the clouds in the sky moved faster, and by noon the clouds had completely dispersed.

The blue sky finally appeared, Zhang Yang stood up and stretched, walked into the house and listened to his daughter-in-law teach his daughter to write.

Hot water was boiling on the stove at home, and Zhang Yang put his feet on Xiong Da's back.

After teaching her daughter to write, Li Yue said again: "I heard from my aunt, there have been some rumors in Chang'an City recently. ”

"Well, what rumors?"

"It's because our production in Lishan is too fast, and Lantian County and Gaoling County have also joined our production, and the businessmen in Chang'an City are panicking."

Zhang Yang smiled: "This is inevitable, when a new mode of production appears, many businessmen will naturally worry about their business being affected." ”

Now Lishan has handed over the simple downstream technology production to Lantian County and Gaoling County.

While reducing the burden on Lishan, it also improves efficiency and makes full use of manpower.

There is a saying that everyone is a bad person, and everyone is a profiteer.

In the eyes of Shang Jia, Lishan is not much better.

Everyone is a bad person, the difference is who is worse.

For the sake of profit, businessmen can think of shoddy methods to obtain benefits, as long as this benefit is large enough, LΓΌ Buwei can be the prime minister.

They're just a bunch of bastards who do everything they can to concentrate their wealth in their own hands.

Merchants will eat their own kind, so as to obtain the production resources of the other party, so that their scale will expand again.

Lishan is their kind, and it doesn't look like it, Lishan is more like a flood beast, which is terrifying, and I am worried that Lishan will eat these merchants in one bite.

"When the construction of the technical institute is successful, Lishan can start to train technicians from all walks of life, master the employment choices of technical personnel, grasp the names and origins of these people, and Lishan will also master human resources."

Li Yue sat down upright, "Husband, manpower should not be a resource. ”

Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Isn't the levy and conscription of all dynasties treating manpower as a resource? ”

Hearing this, she still shook her head and said: "Confucian classics are still the importance of official learning, people are people, they should not be resources, what are resources?" Resources are coal and iron, and they are things that can be discarded when they are used up, so manpower cannot be used as a resource. ”

Zhang Yang almost forgot that the word human resources is to build bloody capital.

What an inhumane word, but in terms of development, in production and manufacturing, under the cruel logic of interests, this kind of word has gradually been accepted by people.

The daughter-in-law doesn't want this word to appear in Datang, even if Lishan really regards manpower as a resource, she can't say that, can't admit it, can't say it.

Wouldn't the emperor treat manpower as a resource?

Zhang Yang said: "Then how about using the term labor dispatch?" ”

Li Yue smiled brightly, "Well, it's better this way." ”

"This time, Taifu Temple helped Guanzhong to control the river, and there are many people in Guanzhong County and Township, and it seems that Fujun is one step closer to carrying out the planting industry."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Only when the world is peaceful and this Datang is good, can we make a fortune and leave enough money to squander for future generations." ”

"My father took advantage of this flood to dismiss many local officials and sent new officials to deal with it."

"Your father is a bastard, no matter what the situation is, he is planning for power."

"The emperor is like this, and there is nothing to blame for my father."

While the couple was talking, Li Yuan asked someone to send three little milk bears in order to please Xiao Qingqing.

The great-granddaughter of the Emperor Taishang has been favored to the point of no return.

Xiao Qingqing happily named the new bears: Xiong Jiu, Xiong Ten, Xiong Eleven.

Zhang Yang sighed, "It seems that our family is really going to become a bear's den." ”

"It's not that you can't afford to raise it, it's good to have a few more bears, so as not to be lonely, and you can also use them to watch the home and nursing home."

Seeing the two pandas that ate and slept, Zhang Yang smiled, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can take care of the home." ”

There are more bears in the family, and the bears brought by His Majesty two years ago have grown up a lot, and at night, Zhang Yang sat in the study and continued to write the teaching materials for the children, and when he heard the snoring one after another, he had no choice but to put down the pen.

The bears in the house slept and snored, and the cubs snored too.

Like a band playing, Zhang Yang poured a sip of tea, washed up and went to bed early.

The next morning, Li Tai heard the guard's report and scolded angrily: "Bastard! Darn! They're all a bunch of bastards! ”

Li Tai was angry in his yard and said loudly: "Why do they say that Lishan bullies businessmen!" ”

The guard stood at the door and bowed down and said, "Even if Lishan bullies the merchants, it's just a group of traders." ”

Li Tai wanted to go to Chang'an City to find them a theory, and he came back just a few steps out of the village.

Then Li Tai found Shangguanyi, and the two understood the reason for the matter as soon as they discussed.

The incident happened yesterday in Chongde Fang, and now there are often officials in Chongde Fang who move around, and some businessmen complain to the officials in the court, saying that Lishan bullied businessmen and used cheap goods to squeeze them out.

The price of goods in Lishan is indeed very low, taking cloth silk as an example, the market price of a foot of cloth in Chang'an City costs 20 yuan.

And there are individual businessmen who come to Lishan to buy goods, and sell them in Chang'an City for only ten yuan.

Shangguan Yi had just gotten out of the matter of controlling the floods, and before he had time to sleep soundly, he heard His Royal Highness King Wei scold the merchants of Chang'an City, and scolded for nearly half an hour.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, what does this brain-dead mean?"

"Brother-in-law taught." Li Tai replied.

Shangguan Yi smiled stunned, and explained the reason while coming to his office to clean up, "His Royal Highness King Wei should not underestimate the difference of ten dollars. ”

"Can't the businessman make less money?"

Li Tai said as a matter of course.

Shangguan Yi explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, a foot of cloth from the silk weaving, which has to go through one workshop after another, the workshop also needs to earn silver money, and said that three dollars to the laborer, the workshop earns three dollars, and when it comes to dyeing cloth, it is two dollars and a foot, and then in the hands of the merchant, the merchant needs to pay all the previous costs, and then take the finished cloth to the fang market to sell and earn a profit......"

The process of cloth production and manufacturing to sales was talked about, and a complete industrial chain was slowly depicted.

After the cost is apportioned, if the merchants are ten dollars per foot of cloth according to the price of Lishan, those merchants have paid the cost of the workshop, and it is indeed a loss to buy it at the price of Lishan.

Li Tai scratched his head, crouched down and looked at the ants on the ground in deep thought.

The reason why Lishan can be sold at such a low price is because the factories in Lishan do not need much manpower to produce cloth.

Only three or five people are needed to control the assembly line, so that the cloth can be produced continuously.

This is not at all an order of magnitude higher than the efficiency of handicraft workshops, which need more labor to increase production.

But Lishan is different, and compared with the production mode of Lishan, it is like someone carrying a bucket to the river to fetch water, and then carrying a bucket to water.

The model of Lishan is like a waterwheel with water, which saves a lot of effort and time.

The factory weaver only needs to hang dozens of twists, and the threads of the twists are hung on a row of needles, so that the winding can be made into cloth with a spinning wheel.

Not to mention that now there is a steam engine, as long as the steam engine is running, the spinning wheel is turning, and the thread is automatically drawn.

The production efficiency is not an order of magnitude at all, nor is it comparable to manpower, if it is divided into two shifts day and night, it can be continuously produced.

Li Tai felt a little unreasonable, and whispered: "So it's really us bullying these businessmen?" ”

Shangguan Yi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Wei, how can Shang Jia have such great courage to sue Lishan?" ”

"Speaking of which, who is Shangjia? Dare to sue Lishan! Li Tai was a little dissatisfied, and asked curiously: "That's not right!" There is someone behind the businessman. ”

"Well, the lower officials are foolish, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei is smiling."

Li Tai calmed down and quickly analyzed, "First of all, it is impossible for Lishan to meet the needs of the entire Chang'an City, so bullying merchants is not established, and secondly, the cotton cloth in Lishan is sometimes seasonal, and the impact on them will not be very great." ”
