Chapter 531 - All can be used
With the information sent in his hand, Li Ke was not surprised, what was discussed at the gathering of these gate valve families, he probably guessed, but what was discussed, he didn't know, these people were quite vigilant, the teahouse was the property of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and when they were talking, they didn't even let the little two in the teahouse approach.
There are people from these families all around, so Li Ke doesn't know what they said, but it's nothing more than for this school establishment incident, as for what means they can come up with, Li Ke is not worried at all, it's very simple, they don't dare to act against illegal means, they can only use formal channels.
But the formal way, the joke, in this Tang Dynasty, that is, there is no pocket for the clothes, otherwise Li Ke has to let them know what it means to have no opponent.
However, with the information in his hand, Li Ke also shook his head, the seventeen families who participated in the meeting this time, as a result, the five surnames and seven wangs gathered by themselves after the meeting was disbanded. Obviously, these seven families have other ideas, and the rest of the people are also gathered together in twos and threes.
It is estimated that there must be dozens of groups in seventeen families.
In other words, they are not of the same mind at all, and they may be consistent in some actions, but it is also easy to pull their sides apart from each other.
Tsk, the world is bustling for profit, wooing a group, suppressing a group, and eliminating a group, isn't it just right?
Put down the information in his hand, Li Ke doesn't worry, no matter what means they have, as long as it is within the allowable range of the Tang Law, then Li Ke doesn't mind playing business war with them, but if you think about it carefully, the means they seem to be able to play is the trick of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.
After all, this time Li Ke only used these businessmen, and they could definitely see the power of these businessmen united.
In fact, this thing is the same, Li Ke, who has experience in later generations, knows very well that businessmen are not good people, or this class is not a good class.
The reason why they look so well-behaved now is because they have their biggest enemy, the Gate Valve Family! The gate valve family limited the expansion of the merchants' power, so they had this opportunity to hug Li Ke's thighs tightly.
For a long time, these merchants can be used, but in the same way, the gate valve family can also be used, and after the merchants expand, the door valve family will be kept for the time being, which is the alarm bell on their heads.
Let the businessmen ring the alarm bell for a long time, anyway, the current situation of Datang has adapted to the existing situation of the gate valve family, and when the school cultivates enough talents, it can be solved directly and completely at one time.
Before the school has not cultivated enough talents, as long as these two sides continue to control the power of both of them, both sides can be used.
After thinking about it, Li Ke opened his mouth and asked, "When is the next issue of "Datang Weekly"?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, "Datang Weekly" will be issued the day after tomorrow." Tian Meng said.
"Well, I'll write an article and you send it over, and the day after tomorrow it will be directly sent out by the front page headline of "Datang Weekly." Li Ke said.
"Yes!" Tian Meng bent down and saluted.
Li Ke put down the homework in his hand, and then directly wrote an article and handed it to Tian Meng.
Tian Meng sent the article to the printing house of Datang Weekly as soon as possible, and now the daily sales figure of Datang Weekly has basically stabilized, and at the current printing speed, it can be printed in basically one day, so Datang Weekly will reserve enough time to avoid the temporary need to add articles.
On the second day, at the first court meeting after the New Year of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was absent from work, anyway, his work as a prisoner of the country had ended.
Li Shimin already had a premonition that Li Ke did not come to the court, so he didn't care, he just ...... A court meeting came up and down, I don't know why, Li Shimin felt a sore back, sitting there, extremely uncomfortable.
And there are too many things on this court meeting, quite a lot of things in it are things arranged by Li Ke recently, these things have almost kept the six departments busy, and now Li Ke's supervision of the country is over, but how can the accumulated things be completed so quickly.
Therefore, this court hall has much more things to do than when Li Shimin held the court meeting himself.
"Your Majesty, at present, the animal power investigation in Guannei Province, Hedong Province and other places has been completed......," Duan Lun reported in the court.
"You don't have to do it." Li Shimin stopped Duan Lun's words angrily.
"Huh? This was not His Royal Highness King Qin's ...... before" Duan Lun was a little stunned.
"At the beginning, Li Ke explained to your Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry that you had conducted an investigation on why the relevant land in the country was not cultivated, as well as the donkeys and pack horses in the animal power part, and you said that the national survey would not be completed until July, but in fact, Li Ke had already completed the nationwide survey just a few days ago." Li Shimin said lightly.
He waved his hand, and Chang Lin directly gave a few prepared copies of the relevant information that Li Ke had completed the investigation to Chang Lin directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Huang Fulin, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Duan Lun, as well as Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and several other important ministers.
When these people got the information in their hands, they immediately looked at it.
When they finished reading it, everyone was a little incredulous, this information was not general information, but very detailed. For example, about 30% of the country's arable land cannot be cultivated because of the uneven distribution of animal power, ploughs, cocoons and other agricultural tools across the country.
The most Daozhou that lacks animal power and farm tools are these Daozhou that often suffer from disasters, but places such as Jiangnan Province, Huainan Province, Lingnan Province, Jiannan Province and other places are relatively short of animal power.
In places where there is a shortage of animal power and agricultural tools, except for some villages, everyone can only share a few ploughing oxen, and each family can only plant a part of it on average, and then each household relies on manpower to pull the plough when there is no ploughing ox, and barely plant a part.
However, 100 acres of arable land will definitely not be able to be planted, which leads to the fact that some of the land has no harvest at all, but without a harvest, these farmers still have to pay taxes.
Therefore, after paying taxes, the grain that was originally enough to eat was burdened with land that was not planted with grain, which led to the fact that the peasants here were almost in a state of lack of crops, and they could only live hungry.
If there are no natural disasters, such a period of time can barely be lived, and when the animal power slowly recovers, it can also be lived.
But as soon as there is a little natural or man-made disaster, these places will immediately collapse, and then a large number of people will appear again.
In contrast to these, the distribution of donkeys and pack horses is just statistics, and then mules can be promoted locally.
And after reading these, Duan Lun and Dou Lukuan were stupid.
