Chapter 305 Something Happened
But for Li Kuan, the only thing that can be quickly obtained now is Zhancheng rice, and the area where this thing exists is already under Chen Shuda's control, but Chen Shuda has not yet discovered it.
Therefore, Li Kuan was ready to remind him.
"With the blessing of Champa rice, coupled with the development of grain producing areas in the Liangguang region, this Datang is about to take off for the second time."
"At that time, grain pastries can also be produced and sold."
"Attacking Liaodong, you don't have to worry about logistical constraints anymore."
"Although I don't really want Li Shimin to defeat all the surrounding countries, it is better to destroy Liaodong."
"If Liaodong is all reduced to slaves and large-scale wealth and material squeezing is carried out, the economic level of Datang should be able to reach a higher level."
"Sure enough, in ancient times, if you want to achieve a well-off society, you have to rely on all your strength to squeeze others."
Li Kuan muttered in his heart.
Li Kuan felt that it was not that he was ruthless, but that this was the case.
The economic output cannot keep up, the material level is not enough, and if you want to achieve a series of preferential policies, you have to give up some people.
If you don't exploit others, how can you be strong?
England, which completed the initial industrial revolution, relied on the empire on which the sun never set to exploit the world.
The basis for the prosperity of the beautiful country after World War II is also to rely on the dollar system to exploit the whole world.
At that time, the beautiful country was a situation in which the upper strata exploited the lower strata, and the lower strata exploited the whole world with the help of the system, and the main reason why the lower strata did not feel the exploitation was that the speed at which they exploited the whole world made the people at the bottom of the beautiful country unable to feel the exploitation from the top.
The result is a nation at the pinnacle of millionaires.
The rise of no pinnacle power is glorious, more or less mixed with some darkness.
"In the future, we should find a way to get paper money out, and with paper money, we can better exploit neighboring countries."
"Although there are now tokens made by Fang Xuanling to complete large transactions, paper money and exchange bills are also needed."
Li Kuan still admires Fang Xuanling very much.
Withdrawing money and materials by adding tokens to money is also a method of credit loans, and as long as this is the case, there is a possibility of being counterfeited.
Fang Xuanling is solved in the simplest way, all the people who can use credit loans can only be large families and nobles recognized by the state, and you businessmen need to use the name of the family and nobles to guarantee.
And the reason for this is also very simple, if you violate the credit contract, the laws of the Tang Dynasty may not kill you, but these large families and nobles will really kill you, and they will kill your whole family.
It's the same if you fake, it's the kind that will be hunted down by these big nobles until the whole family is destroyed.
Pulling a group of people in to do credit guarantee and market maintenance is Fang Xuanling's solution.
And in Fang Xuanling's opinion, the people who like to destroy the most are the families and nobles, and I can pull you directly into the scene.
Therefore, most of the time, Li Kuan has to sigh that the wisdom of the ancients is really powerful.
For the layout of Liaodong, Li Kuan is ready to start from three aspects, one is human trafficking, one is the purchase of mineral resources, and the other is commodity export.
The second is that the mineral resources will not be able to be carried out until they are harvested, and his main business now is human trafficking and commodity export.
Human trafficking is the most important industry, and this industry can massively destabilize the social dimension of the Liaodong Peninsula.
The export of goods can donate money on a large scale.
Li Kuan looked at some of the rich materials under his name, which could be dumped in the past, and the small profits were also profitable, and they could also drive the economy of Datang.
At the very least, the hiring of the convoy is a sum of money distributed to the people.
Because the canal system constructed by Li Shimin in various parts of the Tang Dynasty in recent years has begun to take shape, and various merchant ships have been purchased by merchants and nobles for transportation, the logistics and transportation speed of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly improved.
At the very least, look at the Yellow River, the large and small ships on the Yangtze River know the glorious state of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
The Grand Canal that Yang Guang did not finish opening up, Li Shimin picked it up again.
This time, Lao Li did not use forced labor, but used the mode of paying wages.
Thinking of conscription, Li Kuan always had a feeling that because Datang is relatively wealthy now, Li Shimin may have to cancel conscription.
The city gate tax has been abolished one after another, mainly by collecting commercial taxes and revenues from state-owned industries to support the country's expenditures.
Because of a large number of state-owned industries in hand, the annual material consumption report looks terrifying, but in fact it is not large.
A lot of the costs come from logistics and workers' wages.
In this way, in Li Shimin's eyes, there is no need for forced labor and city gate taxes.
But Li Shimin is a careful person, he will not cancel suddenly, but will only take his time.
Among the officials from all over the country, there were those who wanted to make trouble, and then they were hammered by a group of Tang celebrities who were wandering around, and there were some former Confucians, and now local teachers.
Their way of hammering is very simple, go back to Chang'an and find Wei Zheng to complain.
Wei Zheng's way of investigating the case was simpler, and he took Li Shimin's government soldiers to go to the local area to investigate.
If there is a problem, it will be taken on the spot, and the replacement official will be the head of the local state-owned factory and mine.
Li Shimin can tolerate a lot of things, you have the right to do it, you can make some money by taking advantage of the information difference, and even if you are a contractor, you can accept it.
But thou shalt not harm my people, and thou shalt not form a party for personal gain.
You touched these two points, sorry, I personally sent you to hell.
I don't make slaves in the Tang Dynasty now, but foreign countries don't mean that there are no more people with me.
Let your wife and children marry foreigners who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, give birth to offspring with Tang blood, and promote ethnic integration.
Li Shimin is also a ruthless person.
However, Li Kuan saw with his own eyes that this policy was not implemented.
In order to alert the world, Li Shimin wanted to give the official's wife to a meritorious foreign general, and the official's wife's maiden family came.
It was the woman who heard the Pei family, and the old man of the Pei family in the Tang Dynasty directly sent someone to bring the official's wife and biological child back to his parents' house, and the court yelled: "He committed a crime, what do you care about our children." ”
Then he sent the woman out of Datang overnight and sent her to the Western Regions.
Later, Li Kuan heard that the official's wife had brought her children to teach the children of the family to read and write with the Pei clan in the Western Regions, and was now married to a Tang general who had expanded the territory for the Pei clan.
Li Shimin is very tolerant of this matter.
Born in a family, he thinks that this operation is normal, who makes the Pei family powerful.
Plus, they've done it before.
But the children and concubines of the official's concubines did not end so well, and they were arrested by Li Shimin.
In this regard, Li Kuan just wants to complain, this is a naked double standard.
While thinking about the rapid changes in the Tang Dynasty in his mind, he complained about Li Shimin, and Li Kuan also handled the work in his hands almost well.
No amount of arrangement for the Liaodong region can now only be some commercial arrangement.
The generals at the border pass have not yet arranged it for him.
Li Kuan's mind is very clear, he knows that there are some things that can be touched and some things that cannot be touched.
Like the forbidden power of war, it was something he could never touch blatantly.
If he dared to try the matter of the general's appointment, then he would definitely have an accident.
As long as Li Shimin does not die, he will never allow others to touch military power.
Just look at Li Jing, who is now a part-time secretary of the military department.
Of course, Li Kuan felt that when Hou Junji's trip to the Western Regions was over, after he returned, the military department would be his.
Li Kuan then handed over the commercial arrangements he had written for the Liaodong Peninsula to Li Hai and asked him to hand them over to Li Yi of Chang'an City for him to make the arrangements.
In the next few days, Li Kuan has been busy with the affairs of the grassland, preparing for his official takeover in the Western Regions.
On this day, as soon as he got off work, Lehi found him.
"Your Highness, something has happened."
Raising his eyebrows, Li Kuan saw a frightened expression on Li Hai's face for the first time.
"What's the matter?"
"Liu Renliang led the fleet under his command, phew, it was the fishing boat that killed the fleet of the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo when the fishing boat went to sea."
