As the craftsman's affairs were passed, Li Tai had nothing to do, so he said goodbye and went back to Gaoling.
After all, this time, I got the opportunity to sort out the entire coal industry and the method of assessing craftsmen from the court, which is worth it for Li Tai.
There are so many things to arrange next, so naturally I don’t plan to continue to stay in Chang’an. After all, working can make people happy.
Seeing Li Tai leave, Li Shimin waved his hand and did not stop him. After all, the court did not revolve around Li Tai.
To some extent, it is already a census for the verification of the birth population in Guanzhong.
Even if the scope covered now is only Guanzhong, with the organizational strength of the feudal era, if you want to check it out, you will have to wait at least a year.
When Li Tai came here for a day, the court added a task of one year of work. I believe no one would be happy.
So, after saying these things, Li Tai left Liangyi Hall. When he returned, he greeted Empress Changsun and Changle, and then went back to Gaoling to continue working.
When Li Tai returned to Gaoling, he immediately asked Ma Zhou to take the craftsman assessment. Since Zheng Guoqu was used as the test question, the examiner could naturally be Ma Zhou, and he would be responsible for coordinating the entire examination.
"In this case, I will issue documents tomorrow to guide folk craftsmen to conduct assessments!" Ma Zhou promised.
Li Tai nodded and said, "In addition to the Guanzhong area, our news can actually be transmitted to the Longyou area through the Wei River.
With the construction of the Wei River canal transportation, even the craftsmen in Shengzhou, Yuanzhou can still arrange to come to our Gaoling by waterway!"
"Abide by the order!" Ma Zhou thought about it and answered directly.
Because Ma Zhou led people to clear out piers in the entire Wei River, and even the superior location on the ferry crossings, the Yue Palace occupied a part of it.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Ma Zhou to spread this order at the Weihe Ferry.
Not to mention, after Li Tai built the canal transport system of the Wei River, he would ask the doctor to make a list at the beginning of each month. Then Li Tai ordered the purchase of Chinese herbal medicines on these lists, which basically relied on the entire Wei River.
System acquisition.
There is no way, the medicinal materials base has not been built yet. Except for medicinal materials such as stopping and replenishing blood, they can only rely on the people to collect herbs and slowly hoard them. Every time they consume it, they can’t resist the flowers.
Fortunately, these herbs are not urgently needed, and are more for reserve, so they are not very valuable to store, and a pound is only a few cents.
Basically, the people near the Wei River were dug from the wilderness and dried in the slack farming period and slowly stocked up.
Compared with the hard work of farming, this method is almost nothing. Every time I reach a certain level, I come to the dock to buy it together!
Because the Yue Palace basically did not lower the price, ordinary people could earn thirty to fifty cents more every month.
It has been almost 500 cents a year, and this amount of money is already quite impressive for ordinary people.
Because for ordinary people, these are in vain, that is, they grab a handful of them when they go to the fields and stuff them up when they go to the mountains.
It is precisely because Li Tai has economic exchanges with these ferries and has paid the money and grain as promised.
Therefore, Li Tai issued a corresponding notice as the Prince of Yue Mansion, and the people believed it.
However, as soon as Li Tai said what he thought, many craftsmen rushed to take the exam, and more were waiting and watching.
Because the above stipulates that the assessment time must be until the construction of Zhengbaiqu is over.
This made some craftsmen in other areas hesitate. After all, as long as they are craftsmen with craftsmanship, they are not very rich, but at least they can't starve to death.
Such people are already considered middle-class among the people, and most of them have already married and had children.
Under such circumstances, even though the Wei River canal transportation has been opened by Ma Zhou, under the idea of relocating Antu, most people are still unwilling to go so far to prove themselves.
After all, if you have a first-hand skill, you will not lack food and clothing in the local area, so why do you have to travel thousands of miles to get certified?
Therefore, many craftsmen with craftsmanship still hesitate even if they know this notice.
But those younger generations were somewhat moved when they saw Li Tai's operation like this, and they didn't think so much. The court provided a platform for some young people with enthusiasm around the Wei River to prove themselves.
That's all.
Relying on the convergence of the Wei River and the important position of Gaoling in the Wei River, Li Tai's orders were easily released.
Compared with other things, the canal transportation plan makes the Wei River seem to have become a high-speed rail, strengthening its connection with all cities around the Wei River.
At the same time, it further exerted the siphon effect and began to absorb talents from the upstream and downstream of the Wei River.
Of course, in this era, if you want to go out, you need to guide you, and it is not something that the people can leave at will.
But it is undeniable that the Wei River canal transportation and the craftsman assessment released have reduced the cost of people going out for the people around them, given people a reason to go out, and allowed Li Tai to absorb the people from the surrounding cities to make preliminary progress.
After all, this order was only responded around Zheng Baiqu, so it naturally couldn't absorb many craftsmen's talents.
However, the Weishui absorbed craftsmen from Longxi and Jingji. Even though most of them were not mature, as craftsmen, they were already considered high-quality talents in this era, and they had the essence of those laborers who could only do cool labor.
The difference.
Of course, the impact of this matter must be slowly settled before it can truly play a role.
Just like the Wei River canal transportation plan, for the court, it was a means to increase taxes, but for Li Tai, it was a necessary channel to expand his influence to the entire Wei River and even gradually form a siphon effect.
However, for Ma Zhou, although the notice was issued, these people were not NPCs. They didn’t mean that if they wanted to refresh, they could immediately refresh them.
The work that should be done now can only be put to the labor of the Eastern Turks.
As Li Tai and Ma Zhou dealt with these trivial matters, Du Chuke soon came to report that Su Lie, the general of Zuo Wuhou, had already led a large army to Gaoling and needed Li Tai to send someone to help camp.
Li Tai greeted him, but saw a middle-aged soldier with a back and waist standing in front of the door with his head held high.
The general saw a group of adults coming out with a child, and immediately saluted Li Tai.
"The last general Su Lie has met the King of Yue. He is transferred to Zhengbaiqu to station in Zhengzhou by the military headquarters. I hope the King of Yue will cooperate!"
Li Tai raised his eyebrows, and he always felt that this guy didn't seem to be very good at speaking.
To be honest, Li Tai was not very familiar with the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he was the one who was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, such as Li Jing, Li Ji and Li Shimin, who were in the Sui and Tang dynasty. Most of the Tang generals Li Tai were not familiar with him.
At most, he knew Wang Xuance who destroyed a country by one person. As for who Su Lie and Su Dingfang was, Li Tai really didn't know.
However, Li Tai asked Du Chuke to inquire about it and probably knew that this guy was being excluded by civil officials.
Li Jing asked him to come over, which meant to let his beloved general avoid disaster.
So, Li Tai doesn't know who Su Lie is, but Li Tai naturally has to give Li Jing's face.
Under such circumstances, Li Tai said kindly: "Gen. Su Lie, thank you for your hard work. Why not take a night off in Gaoling and start again tomorrow?"
"The military affairs are important to enforce orders. The military headquarters' orders are to let us enter the Zhengbaiqu area today, and ask the King of Yue to send someone to lead the way so as not to miss the time!" Su Lie replied hard to Li Tai, but it was really not a plea.
happiness.
"Okay!" Li Tai said to Du Chuke, "Mr. Du, let's send someone to lead the way for General Su!"
"Get the order!" Du Chuke agreed, and under Du Chuke's personal leadership, he sent Su Lie and his troops to Zhengguoqu.
Originally, Li Tai thought the matter was over, but when Du Chuke came back, he took the initiative to tell Li Tai:
"King of Yue, the army led by General Su Dingfang is quite elite, and he is truly a warrior who captured Jie Li Khan."
"Oh?" Li Tai said to Du Chuke when he heard this, "I don't know about the military, so I'd like to ask Shanbin to explain in detail."
Du Chuke heard Li Tai's words and said,
"I have only experienced the friendship between the Sui and Tang dynasties, and have experienced the disasters of wars in person. I should not know the words of wars.
However, the army led by General Su was integrated and even prohibited when setting up camp.
Although I can’t see any talent in the War Department, I should have the ability to fight against the Eastern Turks!”
"Oh?" Li Tai couldn't help but become serious when he heard Du Chuke's words.
Now, as long as the entire Tang Dynasty is a military talented army, it can be regarded as an elite force at the entire national level.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty did not follow the method of double talent and single talent, but was divided into five levels: miscellaneous soldiers, regular soldiers, elite soldiers, imperial guards, and military souls.
Among them, they have talent from the elite, and as long as they have elite generals, they can basically be considered a national backbone.
Su Lie, who looks tough, is at least in terms of strength.
"General Su is honest and brave in the Tang Dynasty, and he also assisted us in suppressing foreign races to prevent riots.
If he has any requirements, what he can satisfy is that he is satisfied.
If his troops buy some other vegetables and meat, they can also sell them at a discount for him!"
Li Tai said to Du Chuke, "Anyway, just take care of him."
"I understand!" Du Chuke's eyes lit up, and he said to Li Tai with a very clear expression.
To be honest, Li Tai really wants to know what Du Chuke understood.
What Du Chuke thought was that at this time, a brave general like Su Lie was abandoned by the court, so Li Tai naturally wanted to win over it at this time.
After all, if you really compete for the throne in the future, if you can have a general help, you will be more confident.
Li Tai knew Du Chuke’s thoughts, so he was afraid he didn’t know what to say.
His choice was not considered as a good friend of Su Lie, but he thought he was an excellent general and had achieved the merits of capturing Jie Li Khan. As a result, he was inexplicably suppressed due to internal strife in the court.
This kind of thing may be for stability to the country, but it is also a loss to the country.
Li Jing was so envied because of his great achievements, many people were jealous, but Li Jing was cautious and could hardly catch any handle. Naturally, many people began to suppress the forces to which Li Jing was affiliated in the name of stability in the court.
Su Lie became a breakthrough, and Li Jing could not protect Su Lie with some choices. Even if Li Jing took the initiative to protect Su Lie, he would actually have a headache if he had brought down a hat of forming a clique for personal gain.
After all, Li Shimin is not afraid of Li Jing forming a party for personal gain, but as long as the court civil servants continue to tell that Li Jing's own existence poses a threat to the Tang Dynasty, then three people become tigers, and Li Shimin also needs to measure it for his descendants!
Most of the famous generals were not wrapped in horses and were inexplicably consumed in the civil strife of the court. To some extent, it was also a pity for the ancient ban dynasty.
Because once the world is peaceful, the existence of famous generals will become a threat to the country.
Li Tai knew that what he could do was just help Su Lie in logistics.
As for more things, I am afraid I can't do it, after all, now I am just an ordinary prince.
If you get too close to these people, you will probably be written by the imperial censor to write a book to me.
However, although Li Tai did not approach Su Lie, as the unit stationed near Zhengguoqu, Li Tai still arranged people to investigate the news about this unit.
I have to say that I don’t know whether this army is strong or not, but I practice every day, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, I don’t fall for a day.
As the commander of this army, Su Lie accompanied this army to train every day.
In Li Tai's opinion, Su Lie gave people the feeling that he was sharpening a knife, but the entire army was constantly transforming.
However, this attitude of being stubborn and constantly climbing forward in the dark made Li Tai feel a little awe-inspiring.
But soon, Li Tai's thoughts were no longer on Su Lie because the master craftsman from the Ministry of Works came here.
This time, Li Tai was naturally very happy to get the opportunity to sort out the entire coal industry from the court.
Even for Li Tai, the most important thing is that he can integrate the entire coal industry and complete the restructuring of the coal industry.
Although the initial structural adjustment will definitely lead to a decline in output, as the adjustment is completed, the standardization and proceduralization of the entire process, and even the comprehensive promotion of certain technologies, the coal industry has begun to take shape.
When the entire coal industry is integrated, the coal collection and production costs of coal itself will further decrease. In addition, the existence of the Wei River will reduce transportation costs, and the price of boiling water per kilogram and a penny can be further compressed in the future.
Basically, as long as you give me a penny, as long as you can take away the boiling water, you can call you all.
Of course, the most important thing is not only that, but more importantly, many things need to be scaled to make sense.
Similarly, this coal industry is gradually becoming large-scaled through Li Tai's integration, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains involved have also begun to form little by little as the scale is scaled.
In Guanzhong, the new fuel of charcoal fire began to smelter metals, becoming a member of the fuel, replacing wood.
Li Tai took out a notebook, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and Li Tai scored a stroke on the firewood.
This basic material is in the hands of Li Tai. This is a historic breakthrough.
