Song Yu once said: Fu Feng was born in the ground and started at the end of Qingping.
They invade the valleys and are angry at the mouth of the earth bag.
It is bounded by Taishan Mountain, dancing under the pines and cypresses, floating in the waves, arousing the anger of Yang Zhe.
The sound of thunder rumbles, returning to the hole in the wrong place. Breaking stones and felling trees kills the forest.
This paragraph of text is beautiful, but it’s useless. It also borrows the allusions of the Emperor’s Sword and the Peef’s Sword, which is plagiarism and very meaningless.
Li Chunfeng's understanding of the wind is different. He believes that when the wind blows the leaves, the wind can travel ten miles a day. Then, it will sing for a hundred miles, shake branches for two hundred miles, fall leaves for three hundred miles, break small branches for four hundred miles, and break big branches.
Five hundred miles, walking a stone a thousand miles, uprooting a big root three thousand miles, and so on.
Yes, this is Li Chunfeng's recent research result. Although it sounds useless, everyone still gives it a thumbs up and praises it.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was the emperor who had the final say whether the wind started in Qingping, because the emperor had spoken and said that the wind started in Yingzhou and must be extinguished in Yingzhou.
After this sentence reached the ears of Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie from Jiucheng Palace, the three of them were silent for a long time.
The meaning of what the emperor said was very clear. He was dissatisfied with Xue Rengui's killing in Yingzhou and wanted to kill him a few more times.
Yingzhou is in the east, and Xue Rengui, the emperor's number one lackey, is killing people there.
The emperor is punishing the east, so the north, west, and south are relatively good lands. In addition, the emperor is in the Central Plains, and other elders have no choice but to run away.
It was against this background that Xuanzang hoped to unite with the power of the Taoist sect to develop westward. However, the Taoist sect members, including Li Chunfeng and Ye Fashan, the minister of the Imperial Academy, did not agree with Xuanzang's view. Instead of going to the west, they chose to go south.
This is called adhering to one's will.
Punish one party and appease three parties. This will be the political ecology of Datang society in the next twenty years.
It sounds very helpless to say that it will take twenty years to completely pacify Dongfang, and twenty years later we will find someone who is not pleasing to the eye to continue to pacify, and then appease the other three parties. In this way, the entire Tang Dynasty will be divided like a clock dial.
Good times and bad times.
What the emperor wants is for everyone to keep turning with his pointer, and then achieve the purpose of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, getting rid of the old and retaining the new.
As for the aristocratic families, they are now the prey of the giant dragon called the Emperor, who plans to use twenty years to devour these rich foods.
Naturally, Yunchu didn't want to go anywhere. He thought Chang'an was very good.
Since the emperor has formulated major policies, he just needs to follow them. Anyway, the clock will break one day, and maybe on that day, the hands of the clock may break.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to revitalize Chang'an's economic vitality and end the old custom of barter.
Changle, Ande, Anyi, and Baoning, four cities close to Qixiamen, were singled out by Yunchu and began to be renovated. These four cities were the same as those that had been renovated before.
It is the messiest, dirtiest and most dilapidated market in Chang'an City. However, because these four markets are close to Qixia Gate, they are closest to Qujiang Pool, and Qujiang Pool is only five miles away. Therefore,
Above, the houses here have high renovation value.
It is said that the people have no money. However, when the news came out that Wannian County would renovate the four squares, it only took three days. In addition to the houses that needed to be handed over to the relocated households,
The rest of the houses have been snapped up by ordinary people.
Renovating these four buildings required a large amount of river sand, white ash, green bricks, green tiles, hemp pulp, wood, stones... and other materials. Therefore, the corresponding workshops outside Chang'an City became busy again.
Prepare various materials for the construction of the four workshops.
However, this will be a long process.
On August 20th, the appearance of Zhuque Street that Yunchu presented on the model already had a basic look.
Early in the morning, Yunchu took his whole family to a restaurant near the Imperial City and prepared to watch the first copper bull being placed on Zhuque Street.
A cow weighs one hundred thousand kilograms...
The shape of the whole cow is extremely simple, and there are not many tricks. This is already the highest level of copper smelting by the General of the Tang Dynasty. When hundreds of copper smelting furnaces poured copper liquid into the huge mold at the same time,
Even Yunchu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw this scene.
This process should be the best in the world. (Don’t think it’s nonsense, the 40-ton iron ox of Pujin Crossing in Shanxi Province was cast during the Kaiyuan period and still exists today)
A copper bull is actually an economic anchor cast by Yunchu for Chang'an. Moreover, these copper bulls are easy to cast. If you want to melt them in the future... it is basically a no-brainer. Therefore, these copper bulls are in the Tang Dynasty.
Before the giant smelting furnace was built, there was basically no need to think about it, and there was no possibility of melting.
When the copper bull was put on a rolling log and pulled out of the workshop by a hundred cows, and gradually moved to the destination, people from all over Chang'an City came to watch this spectacle.
A cow weighs one hundred thousand kilograms and naturally moves very slowly. However, everyone who saw this bronze cow was dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that copper is very valuable now. Now, such a huge copper bull is walking on Zhuque Street. The strong visual impact makes ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty realize for the first time that the wealth of a huge family is nothing more than this.
The weight of Kaiyuan Tongbao is very stable, one tael for ten coins, one pound for one hundred and sixty coins, and only sixty-five thousand jins for ten thousand guan. A copper bull has already exceeded 10,000 guan.
What Yunchu is doing now is actually not much different from what wealthy nobles do. When they have a lot of money, they both cast money into bronzes and store them.
However, in order to make it easier to smelt and make money in the future, the copperware they cast was not very big, otherwise it was easy to cut into pieces.
Yun Chu was different. He completely cast those copper coins into a huge copper lump that was slightly shaped like a cow.
These copper bulls, if the smelting and cutting technology of the Tang Dynasty did not achieve rapid development, would basically stay on Zhuque Street forever.
Based on Yunchu's understanding of future generations, as long as these twenty-four bronze bulls are still in Chang'an, no matter what disasters the city has experienced, it will eventually stand in Guanzhong forever because of the existence of these twenty-four bronze bulls.
On the plain.
"Give me a big saw and enough time, someone can still untie these copper bulls."
After finally coming to Chang'an to see the lively Zhong Kui, he looked down on Yun Chu and Wen Wen's proud expressions and whispered to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie looked at Zhong Kui, who was neither human nor ghost, and said: "The secret lies in the last few furnaces of bronze water. Ou Yezi's secret method of casting bronze swords is used. Your saw may not be strong enough."
Zhong Kui looked at Yun Chu in confusion and said, "You made the copper bull look like this, so you can only look at it but not use it, right?"
Yunchu took a sip of the cool grape wine from the wine glass, narrowed his eyes and said, "I would actually rather call this thing helpless!"
Wen Wen looked at the bustling scene of transporting copper bulls and sighed: "If the city of Chang'an has a soul, you should be grateful for the hard work we have put in for Chang'an. Others need lives to occupy Chang'an. We spent money to buy Chang'an..."
Yun Chu said: "The emperor uses his authority to command the world and let everyone in the world follow his fingers. We have no authority and can only use these copper bulls to calm the situation."
Di Renjie said: "The common people use copper coins, usually one piece or more, fifteen guan for a cow. As long as a farmer can leave a cow for his family, he will be worthy of his ancestors and worthy of his descendants."
To be honest, they can't afford those people to use these copper coins for free."
Yun Chu shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's okay now. Although I don't know how much copper there is in the world, but after we cast the twenty-four copper bulls, there should be no extra money in the world. Even if
Yes, it won't cause any trouble.
If they still want copper in the future, then they can just smelt it with ashes. I don’t believe that they are willing to throw the new copper into the furnace again and again after spending a lot of money to smelt it. In the future, the copper money will only become more and more expensive.
The more valuable it is.”
Zhong Kui was a smart man after all, and he understood Yun Chu's purpose of doing this after a little thought.
"You have sealed the savings left by many generations of wealthy families in these twenty-four copper bulls. In other words, if they still want to live the luxurious life before, they will have to start from scratch?"
She smiled softly and said, "That's right. At least give the people in Chang'an City a relatively fair environment. From now on, everyone will use their own methods to see if wealth is really destined by God."
In the midst of everyone's celebration, the first nearest copper bull was accurately transported to the entire granite platform. The craftsmen lit a fire under the bronze bull and waited for the four pillar-like legs of the bronze bull.
After being heated, a huge crucible was transported over. Under the command of the craftsman, spoonfuls of copper slurry were poured in along the holes on the four legs of the copper bull, and finally flowed along the holes at the bottom into the original inlay.
Copper sleeve in granite.
Although the hot copper slurry made the granite make a few explosions, the craftsmen were very experienced and did not crack the granite.
After a short time, the copper slurry gradually solidified, and the four legs of the copper bull were firmly integrated with the granite.
Lu Ting stood in the crowd and saw the first copper bull standing on Zhuque Street. There was no emotion or anger on his face. However, his grandson Lu Zhaolin knew that at this moment, he must be very, very proud of his grandfather.
anger.
Because his hand was so painful from being pinched by his grandfather.
"Father, will Your Majesty allow Yunchu and the others to act so recklessly? Such a huge amount of copper coins—"
Liu Rengui glanced at his eldest son Liu Tao and said with neither joy nor sadness: "What do you want to use the money for?"
Liu Tao did not see the disdain in his father's eyes and continued, "With these copper coins, I can do anything, but I can't end up like this useless person."
Liu Rengui looked at his eldest son and said, "The reason why Yunchu did this is to prevent idiots like you from using this money to harm the world."
