However, some ordinary people feel that there is no need to worry about war at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is not bad to work and earn money, although the living is very crowded, but at least there is no need to worry about taxes.

Everyone had their own ideas, but most of the people moved out of the capital when they heard about the redivision of land.

After all, there are only a few people who have crafts, and most of the people live by doing coolies, and life is very hard.

The western part of the capital is much less crowded and not so crowded.

Before the Chinese New Year, a group of merchants from the south poured into the capital, and they brought with them a large number of southern specialties.

A large number of fresh canned fruits poured into the capital, and their value skyrocketed.

When there were many fruits in the south, these worthless fruits came to the north, but they surprised the common people.

There is never a shortage of rich people in this world, and it is worth the price to taste some fresh fruit.

The man who controlled this economic flow was the Marquis of the Red Sleeves, who was willing to build the capital and several prefectures and counties in the north into an economic center.

This is because the South is richer in comparison, and the North is in great poverty.

Long-term uneven economic development, with the South being too rich and the North being too barren, will lead to estrangement, and then turmoil.

The red-sleeved marquis is trying to find a way to build a trade center, like the north is close to the border, in fact, there are a lot of herbs on the grassland, cattle, sheep and horses, etc., in fact, there are a lot of good things.

It's still under consideration, but I'm afraid that a trading city will be built all of a sudden, and the rich will be directly targeted by foreigners after the flow of oil.

Therefore, if you want to develop the economy, your fist is big enough to protect your wealth.

This matter needs to be discussed cautiously and from the beginning.

The common people do not understand the thoughts of the old men above, and the common people in the capital feel that the price of grain is stable this year, and they can still eat some good things in the south if they save two dollars.

As long as there is no oppression, no natural and man-made disasters, the small life that the people want to live is actually very simple, safe and stable.

The New Year is lively and lively, but it seems that the world is peaceful, showing a prosperous appearance.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace holds a banquet to entertain those who have made meritorious contributions.

Emperor Wude waved his hand, and the banquet was full of meritorious people, as well as existences that could be counted in the court.

Yuan Bin looked distressed at the group of people below eating and drinking, eating all their own silver.

'It's so distressing~ I don't know how difficult it is to be a home, and now a piece of silver has to be divided into two halves, which is really painful. ’

Because the world is too big, it is not said that the whole world is a good year, just like a piece of cloth that is missing here and there to make up for it. ’

‘…… Depend on! This is even poorer when he becomes an emperor, how can he be reasonable! ’

Yuan Bin felt that if he said this, the whole world would feel that he was lying.

Everyone wants to be the emperor, but they don't know the difficulties of being the emperor, and when they open their eyes, countless people stretch out their claws to ask for money, and it's their own fault that they don't give it.

Emperor Wu De said that he was under pressure and angry.

Anyway, the New Year's party is over!

In the East Palace, the crown prince is also entertaining his subordinates and discussing which noble girl he should marry.

The crown prince Yuan Jiexi originally thought about whether he wanted to take a family that was not a very good woman, at least he would reassure his father.

However, the advisers around him were not at ease, and cautiously suggested: "The position of the crown princess is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, she is the mother of a country in the future, and she must be smart and able to take on important responsibilities."

Especially now that there is no queen in the harem, the princess has chosen and can give you a great help in the harem. ”

When the crown prince Yuan Jiexi heard this, he was indeed silent, and this kind of thinking was quite correct, after all, if a woman does not marry well, it will harm the three generations of the family.

"Let Lone think again~"

The crown prince Yuan Jiexi felt that he really should think about it, and now his father is not disgusted with himself, nor is he jealous of himself.

Why bother thinking about that little bit of caution in my heart, if I find a princess who is not very good, I may still be thought by my father that his eyes are not good.

Although the prince did not make a decision on the spot, the advisor felt that it was a good thing that the prince could hear the persuasion.

The King of Jin is still living in the palace, but after the New Year passed, the court began to advise the King of Jin to move out of the palace as soon as possible.

even gave King Jin a fief and let him live on the fief.

The king of Jin is not willing, he is not willing to leave the capital, if he leaves the capital, then the world will definitely be in the hands of the prince.

So in order to be able to stay, King Jin first used his young age and unmarried as an excuse to prepare to stay in the capital.

Then grind for a while, and then think that the princess of Jin is pregnant, it is not appropriate to work hard, and continue to rely on the capital.

"This king has kept an eye on the crown prince, which woman does the prince want to marry, this king must marry a better woman."

King Jin is like a villain who is jealous of others, he just can't see what others are good about, and what others have, he wants.

The 'infighting' between the crown prince and the subordinates of the king of Jin cannot be put on the table, but everyone knows it.

It seemed that the heavens were in love with Emperor Wude, and just after the New Year, there was good news when he was a skilled craftsman who had been promoted to the Ministry of Industry and became a petty official.

Although the emperor's words are not detailed, after being able to name several materials, the emperor can say the cement he wants.

Some of the craftsmen tried and made mistakes, and the emperor dialed these slightly, and the craftsmen remembered the ancestral secret methods left by their ancestors, and seemed to have found a similar situation.

Craftsmen are passed down from generation to generation, there are some hidden things, will not be revealed, only passed on to grandchildren, in case one day the family blood is broken, a craft is finished.

It seems that these craftsmen are very capable, but in fact, they have inherited the wisdom of their ancestors.

Under the temptation of the emperor's official position and money, these craftsmen were eager to go to the grave of their ancestors and pray for their ancestors to guide them in their dreams.

I did experiments without spending money, and soon found the formula of cement, and after blending in various proportions.

Cement really appeared in front of the world, and at the same time, the craftsman college also appeared in front of the eyes of the world again.

Emperor Wude respected intellectual property rights, but the research and development done by the emperor with the money should be owned by the state, which is reasonable, right?

Cement has appeared, Emperor Wu De happily clapped his hands, and the importance of cement is not much to say.

It is definitely a sharp weapon-like existence, benefiting the country and the people, and benefiting the future.

Governing the Yellow River is something that every dynasty cannot avoid.

The Yellow River is worthy of being the mother river, just like the mother, who is cloudy and uncertain, and when it is said that when the child is beaten, the six relatives do not recognize it.

In all dynasties, it was a major event for the Yellow River to fix the dikes and save the people along the way.

Cement is used to strengthen the dam, and in the future, it will be strengthened every year and the silt of the riverbed will be cleaned up every year, which will reduce the casualties caused by the bursting of the Yellow River's banks.

Cement can also be used to build official roads, pave bridges, pave roads, and strengthen city walls......

"Reward, all reward! Yes, yes, these craftsmen have lived up to my high expectations, this is the person who does practical things, this is the Ministry of Industry official that I like.

Very good, I'm very happy. Officials of the Ministry of Industry should have skills and should do things that benefit the country and the people. In the future, they will be selected from the craftsman college. ”

Emperor Wu De's remarks can be said to have laid the foundation for his selection of talents and the selection of practical talents.

The first shot of the new year was the craftsman, who thought it was the imperial examination, and the literati from all over the country won the first prize.

Unexpectedly, the craftsmen came up with something good that people couldn't refuse.

The emperor was happy, rewarded the officials with silver, and also drew a particularly large flatbread.

In the future, if the craftsmen can make 'benefits to the country and the people', they will receive titles other than official titles, which can be passed on to three generations of children and grandchildren.

As soon as this big pie was drawn, the eyes of the people all over the world turned red.

The Craftsman College has created another brilliant achievement, and the emperor is also preparing to open a branch in the capital.

'I'll go, I'll go too!' A lot of people had this idea, and the craftsmen began to roll up and die.

Chapter 175

After the New Year, it was all good things, the craftsmen fired the first shot, and the subsequent imperial examinations held in various places also went smoothly.

After all, many scholars do not want to fall behind the craftsmen, and in their eyes reading is the business of saints, and it is better to be an official.

First is a child and a talent, and finally a person, even if the whole process of the Enke exam is down, at least until the year after the year to determine the first batch of Jinshi.

In order to prevent cheating, Wang Wenjun racked his brains and came up with a series of ways to prevent cheating.

At the same time, local officials are also convicted of joint sitting, and once discovered, they will never be admitted.

It seems that the heavens are looking after Emperor Wude, and everything is going smoothly.

The cement was put into production and the planning began, and the matter was entrusted to the officials of the Ministry of Works, with the wife in charge of overseeing it.

More happy events were that Emperor Wude's subordinates began to marry one after another.

The major officials of the imperial court gathered to marry each other, which really made Emperor Wude Yuan Bin bald, and he couldn't give gifts alone, and he had to treat everyone equally, and just giving gifts made him bald.

"Scholar!"

Emperor Wude couldn't help but complain that the prince and the king of Jin didn't marry, and these people couldn't think of it.

Except for Emperor Wude, who did not select a concubine, it seems that the entire court is filled with a sweet and greasy smell.

Emperor Wude seemed to be tired of seeing the happiness of others, so he directly began to use the capital as an example, and set up factories in the surrounding villages.

Adapt measures to local conditions, and open whatever factory is suitable.

Time is fast and slow, and under the accumulation of so many things, one after another has passed, and half a year has passed.

The examination for the children has already passed, and it is about to come after the autumn.

After the New Year, the upcoming examination will be held, and the emperor will personally invigilate the examination after a set of procedures, and finally determine the ranking.

These candidates will be collectively referred to as the protégés of the Son of Heaven and will henceforth be used by the emperor.

The whole world seems to be able to feel Emperor Wude's methods, as well as his urgent heart for infrastructure.

However, Emperor Wude was still more sensible and did not impose all the conscription on the common people.

He knew the truth that he was too much, and Emperor Wude's current subordinates were both men and women, and they had not been corrupted by this rich life, so they still listened to him very much.

After the end of the farming, most of the common people will go out to do coolies, so the imperial court ordered to build roads and bridges, take care of food, and also give copper plates.

Both soft and hard, and soon the roads and city walls of the capital began to be built.

When the people walked on the flat concrete road, they realized that the flat road was really good!

"It's nice that the new road doesn't get your shoes dirty when it rains!"
