Chapter Eighty-Three: Indifferent
It has been done, and Shang Xiuxun was sent back, Shen Youlan said congratulatorily: "As soon as this woman wins, Jingling will go down without a fight, and the iron will ride 10,000, Qb5, cOМ//"
Yang Xuanning smiled faintly and said, "You have made great achievements this time, what reward do you want, let's talk about it." ”
People have their own way, the so-called benevolent love mountain, wise people love water, each has their own, in the view of the Son of Heaven, the relationship between men and women, is also the evolution of the two ways of Wang Ba, this kind of comprehension comes with the heart, but it is the key to break the point, Yang Xuanning is overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he will govern in the future, he can begin to enter the emperor's road, do not hurt virtue with art, do not hurt art with virtue, gradually no smoke and fire, do not show traces, evolve wonderfully, dominate yin and yang, educate sentient beings, and close to Taoism.
In Baling County, Luo Shixin has gathered 20,000 troops, repaired to the present, and has almost recovered, and then with the help of Pegasus Ranch, he obtained the land of Jingzhou of the original Three Kingdoms.
Originally, I had to use some thoughts, but today, by chance, intentionally or unintentionally, it became a thing, it can be seen that the number of qi is really unpredictable, but it also needs the king to take precautions in the middle.
"This is the king's great luck, how dare the little woman take credit, but the little woman has something to offer, and the king is invited to watch it. Shen Youlan turned her hand forward, and in the palm of her hand, a yellow copper coin appeared on her hand as white as mutton fat.
Take a closer look, in terms of modern weights and measures, it is a specification diameter of 2.4 centimeters, the inner Guo is extremely thin, there is a hole in the heart, and I know that it is an epoch-making coin in Chinese history - Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Han five baht money has been circulating for more than 700 years before the Sui Dynasty, during which it has experienced prosperity and decline, there is no unified standard for the size of the weight, even the Sui five baht also has a variety of sizes, to the end of the Sui war, a large number of thin and small inferior money appeared in the society. Coupled with the circulation of old money from the previous Zhou, Qi, and Liang dynasties, the situation of currency was extremely chaotic. Until the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, it was because the treasury was in a hurry to use money, so the quality of the five baht made was too poor. As a result, prime numbers and market capitalization plummeted, and inflation intensified.
With this money, the people of the world are in distress, and now this money is out, and there is a new dynasty, and all the people benefit, but the so-called merit is immeasurable, this Shen Youlan is really well-intentioned. The plan is far-reaching.
The weight of each copper coin is called a coin, and the Chinese currency system officially broke away from the baht system in the name of weight and developed into the Tongbao currency system. It has become the coinage standard of all dynasties after the Tang Dynasty and has been followed for nearly 1,300 years. The Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all extended this system. Even the money systems of Japan, Vietnam, and Korea were influenced by Kaiyuan Tongbao. Therefore, it has an epoch-making position in the history of Chinese coins.
Yang Xuanning nodded and said, "Yes, this money is famous?"
"This is the king's order, how dare I usurp. ”
"Well, it's called Kaiyuan Tongbao. "Play a little longer. Yang Xuanning said lightly.
"Kaiyuan" means to open up a new era, and "Tongbao" means to pass through treasures, which is truly true to the name.
Silver and copper as the basic metal currencies are the norm in China, but the copper and silver mines produce very little in China's own land. With the development, it is declining, but Yang Xuanning does not consider using money.
First of all, it is too easy to manufacture, there is no modern means of transportation by railways and highways, and counterfeit banknotes are circulated in various places and cannot be cracked down on uniformly. Woe to you.
Secondly, the country's financial problems exist no matter which dynasty, so the indiscriminate issuance of currency, according to the result of the paper money policy of the Song Yuanming Dynasty, is an inevitable thing, which is harmful to the people.
Later generations will be absolutely uncontrollable to live in the ** of large banknotes.
So don't take it.
Yang Xuan stared and looked at it, this Taoist woman, she was just beautiful, and the profundity and unforeseen made him a little bothered. Then he thought about it, and said, "You offer this treasure." It is very meritorious, and the widow should also reward you, so let's do it, the widow named you Concubine Jing, but you don't live in the palace, this Kaiyuan Tongbao four characters are also written by you, how about it?"
Shen Youlan was shocked in his heart, and only then did he really understand his means of preparing for a rainy day, the means of the emperor, can indeed evolve all things and control heaven and earth, although he is still shallow at this time, he said with a smile at the moment: "The king is ordered by heaven, it must be the future Allah, the little woman should obey her own will, concubine Jingfei, visit the king." ”
Someone immediately offered pen and ink, and then Shen Youlan stepped forward and wrote: "Kaiyuan Tongbao"
In the upright and beautiful, there is also an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Yang Xuanning nodded and smiled: "Very good, in this case, Concubine Jing and the widow will visit this garden together, Concubine Jing presided over the construction of this garden, there will be gains, and the widow can appreciate it more." ”
"Yes, the concubines lead the way for the king. ”
Along the way, Shen Youlan pointed to the garden: "The essence of the garden, although there are thousands of streams, one sentence, nature has become a small world, however, each is different, the essence of this garden, lies in the mountain stones, strange peaks, strange stones, hot springs, pine trees, with its heart, when you know a step and a scene, a side of a painting, each is different, such as the season is different, the weather is different, it is not the same. ”
Yang Xuanning praised and said: "Yes, just come in, the widow has already felt it, now the more invented, the most important thing in the garden, if it is the peak, is that no matter from a distance, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each is different, the big world is condensed in a small courtyard, however, it seems that the concubine is not yet complete, well, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lu Miaozi, is also good at this art."
You can discuss it with them. ”
Shen Youlan saw him say this, smiled slightly, knowing that he did have a deep Taoist heart, but as long as he watched it in front of him, after swimming for a while, it was already close to dusk, Yang Xuanning saw the sky and knew that he had to go back, so he immediately said: "Ai Concubine stays, and the widow will go back." ”
Seeing this, the nearby guards came over, knelt down and saluted, and came to ask for a ride.
Turned the door of the courtyard, looked back, but saw that after the salute, the woman who got up and stood on the ground, calm and relaxed, was quietly watching herself go away, almost one with this small courtyard, smiled in her heart, no longer cared, went straight, into the carriage outside.
"Go to the gentleman's house. When he said this, of course, Li Bo was the only one who could call Mr. directly without adding his surname, and of course his entourage knew it, so he immediately turned to the road.
Although it is only the king now, there are ten cavalry and four in the front and rear, twenty crossbow wielders, one hundred spearmen, one hundred sword and shield soldiers, and there are also guards and guards, and these personnel are enough to deal with any master's assault.
Until he arrived at the Li Mansion, his own family members stepped forward to greet him, and hurriedly wanted to report it, but Yang Xuanning stopped it. He asked, "What is the gentleman doing?"
"Back to the king, the peach blossoms are really blooming now, sir, take out the snow accumulated last year, and face the peach blossoms, boiling tea and drinking!"
"It's so good, it's so elegant, it's really rare. There is no need to report it, the widow will go up from above. "I went straight forward, and sure enough, I went to the courtyard. Cross a bridge, all the way, pile up stones, weave flowers for the raft, secluded forest house. Curved cave of the promenade.
I have to sigh that in ancient times, the mansions of wealthy families were big, Houmen was as deep as the sea, and the big residences occupied hundreds of acres of land, which was also a very common thing, and it turned all the way. There was another stone door, and the corridors on both sides were connected, and there were peach trees along the way, and at this time, a gust of wind fell, and the peach blossoms fell, and they were all over the place.
It's really a step on the incense to find someone, and it's come to an end. It's another pavilion, and there are pink peach blossoms floating on the lake, and there is a person on it, sure enough, it is Li Bo, and he smiled at the moment: "Mr. is really leisurely." ”
When Li Bo saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to kneel down and salute, but Yang Xuanning hurriedly helped him up and said, "There are no outsiders here, why bother to be polite." My husband was injured and needs to be recuperated. I wonder what the situation is now?"
"The external injuries are good, but the inside still needs some recuperation. Li Bo was not hypocritical, and got up and said.
At this time, a tea-making girl stepped forward to give a salute, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were bright, her blue dress was blue, although it was not a first-class beauty, but it was also very moving, Yang Xuanning couldn't help but smile and said: "Under the peach blossom tree, under the lake, the jade man makes tea, Mr. is so, the widow is really relieved." ”
"The king said with a smile, this is my disciple Du Qingzhu, who cultivates swordsmanship, not my concubine. Li Bo said indifferently.
Yang Xuanning took a look at it, and sure enough, a trace of sword qi shrouded his body, but the heat was very shallow, only the realm of a second-rate master, and he didn't care about it at the moment, just smiled and said: "It's a pity, otherwise, a gentle woman, with flowers, although there is no wine, replacing it with tea is also a great joy in life." ”
The girl who said it couldn't help but blush.
The two sat down, the guards scattered far away, Du Qingzhu also withdrew, Yang Xuanning looked at it intently, and said: "Mr.'s complexion is much better, the widow is really pleased, but Hu Jiao is so bold that it must be controlled by the law." ”
"The king's wrath of thunder over this matter is not yet the time. Li Bo poured tea for him, poured a cup himself, blew a breath, and the aroma was overflowing: "This is the Qingqi tea I made, made of six kinds of leaves, although it is not medicine, it is mostly ordinary, but it is better than medicine, and it is the most conducive to physical and mental warmth." ”
Saying that, Li Bo closed his eyes and drank it all in one gulp, Yang Xuanning also tasted it, only felt that it was fragrant and smelly, pure and beautiful, and after a while, he said: "Good tea, although it is simple, but it is very good to match, and it is beneficial to people." ”
I know in my heart that a family like this, the whole set of knowledge is broad and profound, and every bit of life is seen in the effort, and the end is extraordinary, but this is also a game, just a normal heart, so he paused, and said: "Mr. don't worry, the widow has its own legal system, Mr. might as well take a look at this." ”
Yang Xuanning handed over a document.
Li Bo took it, read it, and his face slowly became solemn.
This matter was controlled by Yang Xuanning, of course, he knew it by heart, and said: "This dynasty has set the law of birth, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, witchcraft, or even other religions, they all treat everyone equally and think it is the law." ”
"Believers who wish to become a monk must seek the testimony of a legitimate teacher, obtain the consent of the presiding officer at the local temple and temple, have it printed on his letter, and present it to the official office. The government will send people, observe the ceremony, receive the Dharma ordination, and then send it to a plate, and the Buddha is called the Buddha Plate, and the Tao is called the Tao Plate, with a bronze medal system, engraved with the name, origin, age, family, ordination faction, the temple where the monk is located, the name of the teacher, and in the registered household registration, his name is in the new name, with this dish as an identity certificate, can be exempted from shaking, the mark is registered in the local county, and the county can be feased. ”
These books are not long, but Li Bo read them carefully. The degree system has existed since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it is difficult to implement it, and now it is necessary to move it seriously.
Still, these conditions are quite lenient
With Yang Xuanning's temperament, he would not end it so easily, he had some understandings and doubts, but seeing that he didn't explain, he said: "It should be like this, this matter is feasible." ”
"Mr. also thinks it's good, then let's do it like this!" Yang Xuanning said with a smile, those who are in power should deal with it inadvertently, and start with the shallowness, first check out the various religions in the territory, especially the personnel of the Hu religion.
For a time, the strength of Hu Dao in the territory was generally registered, and there was also a system of sitting, if it was illegal. You can take the opportunity to investigate its temple, and there is nothing to say if you forgive others - this is just a religious system of sitting and protecting the armor, and if one person violates the law, the whole temple will be guilty of the same crime.
Of course, Li Zhu was a Taoist and had a position, and there were some things that he did not say, and the exemption from forced labor was a small matter, and the exemption from land taxes was a big matter. It is precisely because of this privilege that many people want to take refuge in temples and Taoist temples, which objectively increases the influence of religion. In history, the price of the Tang and Song dynasties was very expensive, with each hour reaching 500 yuan. Therefore, it was often used as a method to increase the income of the imperial court.
Regarding real estate, the land tax is two key points, and now is not the time to do it. Further things can be said later, and we must do great things without the slightest fireworks.
Yang Xuanning saw that he responded, so he smiled and changed the topic: "Mr. should be good in autumn." I have entrusted my husband with the task of doing it himself!"
"What?"
"It is nothing more than to enrich the national treasury, our side has seized a large area of the coast, and it is a major matter to sort out the salt policy, and today's salt production, also known as boiling Haifa, is to put seawater (or brine) in a cauldron and boil it with charcoal until all the water has evaporated. The salt that remains in the pot can be obtained. ”
"This salt usage, labor consumption is very large, and more cut down trees for charcoal, so the price of salt is very expensive, I have a method, that is, the first salt field, the scale of the salt field is huge, first must be a dam, and then on the sandy ground, with solid soil. Divide into several pools and then open the dam. Injected with seawater, exposed to the scorching sun, at first, natural salt seeps into the soil, but for a long time, it will form stones, so there is no need to use stones. ”
Historically, China's salt drying started from Fujian, which happened to be the Huainan territory controlled by Yang Xuanning, which almost accounted for eighty percent of the world's salt production, and the reason was that the climate was suitable, the beach was suitable, and it was just the salt drying.
Li Bo is an extremely smart person, and when he heard it, he knew the benefits, and immediately said: "The king is this law, and the great goodness is ten times and a hundred times that of the previous law." ”
After thinking about it, he said again: "It's just that in this way, will the salt of the imperial court fall?"
From the point of view of facilitating the state's control of the salt industry, the salt frying method requires stoves, firewood, and places to spread the fried salt, and these means of production are the land that poor stove households cannot afford to buy, and must be allocated at the expense of the state. Through these, and some systems, the imperial court can firmly control the production of stove households and eliminate illicit salt from the source.
If the salt drying method prevails, it will be difficult to control its production, which is not good for the imperial court, and even more so for the salt merchant group.
This is also why, basically, the salt drying method began to appear in the Tang Dynasty, but historically, the 25 salt farms in Huainan, the core salt area of the national salt industry, still used frying salt until the death of the Ming Dynasty
"Sir, don't worry, that's why I want you to do it yourself, the salt drying method, although a hundred times the yield is boiled in Haifa, but those who can dry salt, the climate, sun and beach factors, most of them are concentrated in my place, other locations, it is difficult to learn. ”
"Salt can be slightly cheaper, which is not only beneficial to the people in the territory, cracking down on illegal salt, but also can crack down on other territories, especially the inland and northern well salt, boiling salt industry, relative to the output, a little lower salt price, but also high profits, with this, the country will be rich." ”
"When I dominate the world, I will have my own way of making profits, even if I don't rely on the salt industry, it will be fine. ”
This has been said very clearly, now you go and set up a salt factory, and at a slightly lower price to fight the salt industry in the whole world, and make a lot of profit from it, not only to improve the life of the people in your own territory (no one can live without salt, in this day and age, the monthly salt cost is a large expense), but also to enrich the treasury.
Seeing Li Bo thinking, Yang Xuanning was not anxious, looking at himself, he saw peach blossoms all over the ground, green willows hanging down the lake, small bridges leading to streams, and winding corridors connecting the road.
Goodbye to the beautiful trees, the planted flowers opened, a clear stream, tactfully zigzagged from the depths of the flowers and trees to the stone gap, and then turned to other rooms, and a little farther room, faintly visible maids and servants, walking through the white stone railing.
This kind of wealth, this kind of bearing, this kind of mind, when it is really not in this position, I don't know its taste, no wonder everyone wants to find wealth, although there are many rich and chaotic people, but the real wise men and saints, more can use this to nourish the spirit, is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Confucius said that "living in the body, cultivating the qi", and the Taoist said "wealth, law, land, and couples", have all been said very clearly, the word wealth and power is really the foundation of everything, and there is no way to do it.
Just thinking about it, I saw Li Bo raise his head and say: "The king trusts me so much, and Weichen can only do his best." ”
At that moment, Yang Xuanning laughed, drank a cup of tea in one gulp, and the aftertaste was endless.
