"Do you consider China as the entire country?" Wang Gui, who was thinking, couldn't help but think.
The so-called consideration of China as a whole, even Fang Xuanling has never really thought about it like this now.
Because with the emergence of the Grand Canal, China truly connected the north and the south to become a true whole.
The Sui Dynasty had not yet enjoyed the convenience of this Grand Canal, but it was destroyed because it was responsible for the cause and effect of this Grand Canal.
It was the first time that the Tang Dynasty had the Grand Canal, so even though Fang Xuanling was almost the number one prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, due to the limitations of the times, he could not judge the shocking changes brought by the Grand Canal, and he could not make up his mind to surround the Grand Canal.
Go layout.
After all, the profession of internal affairs is very experienced and wrong. Although the feudal society in China has been repeated, each dynasty will basically patch the problems that arise in the previous dynasty to build a new system.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling, as the best civil official in the early Tang Dynasty, knew how to restore production to this tragic Tang Dynasty.
But if you want the Tang Dynasty to prosper at a faster pace, Fang Xuanling is not as good as Li Tai.
It’s not because of how smart Li Tai is, but Li Tai has truly seen the world after industrialization.
So even if Li Tai was ranked first in the world after one billion people, at least he knew the right direction and firmly decided on the way, and the rest had to just take every step of himself firmly!
"Of course, this matter is just the foundation!" Li Tai looked around and said, "I need you to implement this matter this year. Peacock will take the lead in this matter. If anyone needs to be dispatched, just dispatch it!"
"No!" Peacock saluted Li Tai when he heard this and said that he knew.
"Don't agree first, you will be the core of the development of the entire Luoyang!" Li Tai said to Peacock.
"Me?" Peacock was a little shocked when he heard Li Tai's words, which was really unimaginable!
"Yes!" Li Tai nodded, "The so-called "wealth, rice, oil, salt, ginger and vinegar tea plan is just the basis for the development of Luoyang.
It was prepared for the future surge in Luoyang's population. It really is not the real advantage of Luoyang's development.
Luoyang's location advantage is that it is close to Chang'an and can also gather resources from the entire Guanzhong through the Grand Canal.
So Luoyang's development is the same as Gao Ling, find its own position and then develop it!"
"Jinkou?" Lu Cai couldn't help but speak when he heard Li Tai's words. The most important thing in Gaoling's development was the establishment of Jinkou.
Li Tai said solemnly: "Tiankou is just to lay the foundation for the development of Luoyang. The most important thing is the positioning of Luoyang's own city.
My positioning of it is the economic center of the Tang Dynasty. If the wealth of the entire Tang Dynasty wants to circulate, it must pass through Luoyang!"
Listening to Li Tai's words, everyone could feel the pride in Li Tai's words. More importantly, they understood the future development direction of Luoyang, which made them clearly know how to cooperate in the future.
"So when you establish the basic material supply system for Caimi Oil, Salt, Ginger and Vinaigrette Tea, I also need you to contact suppliers of all sizes and tell them a message to establish the basic system for Caimi Oil, Salt, Ginger and Vinaigrette Tea.
After getting up, I will choose a market open night market in Luoyang!" Li Tai said seriously to Peacock.
"Open the night market?" Everyone present couldn't help but look serious when they heard Li Tai's words.
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, "Even this market is just a pilot project, and Luoyang may be built into a city that never sleeps in the future.
But I don’t like to do things overnight. I will open a market first and see what problems will happen!”
"If the night market is opened, will there be people taking advantage of troubled waters and committing crimes?" Lu Cai added.
"There will definitely be!" Li Tai nodded, "Wei Xu, you should know how to deal with such a person!"
"Your Majesty Yan also asks me to deal with this matter. I will definitely not let the thieves disrupt the order in Luoyang!" Wei Xu promised.
"Continue to recruit retired soldiers and appropriately increase the number of bad people. After all, Luoyang is a big city. If there are not enough bad people, it will be a bit difficult to manage.
In addition, you can find ways to let local people participate in your order maintenance and reward those who act bravely and maintain order.
You go and develop a plan and reward me!" Li Tai said.
"No!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Wei Xu agreed and went to do this.
After the order was finished, Li Tai's eyes fell on Wang Zhenru again, saying, "Zhenru, you are good at building roads."
In two years, I want you to build the roads in Luoyang and surrounding counties, which can also be considered as warming up.
When this matter is processed, maybe there will be a real burden to you soon!"
"Hmm?" Wang Zhenru was a little curious when he heard Li Tai's words, and looked at Li Tai and said, "Please ask the King of Yan to speak frankly!"
"I will report to Aye to build a road from Chang'an to Luoyang. It is best to agree, but if I really don't agree, then I will build another project!" Li Tai said slowly, "But, this is going to be the first to do so."
Let’s wait until the foundation of Luoyang is established first!”
"No!" Wang Zhenru understood the important task of this matter when he heard Li Tai's words.
If we really build a road from Luoyang to Chang'an, we might be able to leave a name in history, but we are also full of energy.
"Okay, the previous repairs are almost the same.
Don’t care about those who receive work, those who don’t, because the next thing is what you really have to do, as for what you do!”
Li Tai finished checking for missing and filling in the gaps and pulled out another piece of paper!
"Is this just the beginning?" Even Wang Gui, who was sitting aside, felt a little scary about working under Li Tai.
This is not about using people to death, it is about using dead people as living people!
Although Lu Cai and others looked desperate, they didn't say much nonsense. One or two immediately took the documents sent by Bai He again, and also prepared a lot of papers to let them record Li Tai's affairs.
Li Tai said, "It's still the same rule. Starting from agriculture, I will make an outline. You are responsible for supplementing your own details!"
They took over their mission in despair.
Obviously, there are some things that they can't escape. Li Tailai didn't let them rest in vain in the first month. If anyone is lazy, then make up for their homework in the next day.
Li Taize said, "Although Luoyang is positioned as an economical city, the land here is fertile and flat, which is a good place to grow food.
Therefore, it is necessary to select several county towns in the surrounding area to become bases for supplying grain, vegetables and meat for Luoyang, and provide good food supply for Luoyang so that the people of Luoyang can eat vegetables and meat from Xinxiang.
In this case, even if there is any problem with the waterway, at least with these areas supporting it, Luoyang will not be directly trapped in a situation where there is no food available!"
"Leave it to me to handle it!" Lu Cai said, "I'll do these things and arrange the staff at the same time."
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded and continued, "The second point is to find suitable locations near Luoyang, and even the entire Duji Province, and establish food processing plants and special products.
Because we can take advantage of the canal to collect raw materials from other places, process them and become finished products, and can be bought and sold to various parts of China through the Grand Canal, thereby revitalizing the entire canal waterway!”
Li Tai said here, but saw that everyone present was a little confused. This made Li Tai cough a few times and continued,
"Take wheat as an example, because there are no water wheel mills or steam mills in the surrounding areas, foreign wheat can be transported directly to Luoyang in its original form.
In Luoyang, grind it into fine powder with a water wheel mill or steam mill and then transport it to their original place of origin. From wheat to flour, it is regarded as a grain processing plant!”
"Do they have to work hard to deliver the wheat to Luoyang, grind it into flour and then send it back? Isn't it good to grind it locally?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Ren Yaxiang said that I didn't understand.
"This involves cost issues. You think it's very laborious, but for many people it's very cost-effective!" Li Tai said,
"And this is just an example. In comparison, it is just a concept that comes up."
"There will be the agricultural tools, but the agricultural society and the agricultural institutions are doing very well, so let's skip it first.
Next is luxury goods specially used to cheat money.
For example, colorful pottery, tea with increasing output, and other things with high added value.”
Li Tai thought about the only thing he had heard of the pottery of the Tang Dynasty was Tang Sancai. As for the only other things he appreciated, it should be the blue and white porcelain from the late Tang Dynasty. He searched for information when listening to "Blue and White Porcelain".
But no matter what, after the silk technology was stolen, the fist products on the Silk Road became pottery, tea, and white sugar.
Because I studied the flames of pottery, I was very confident that I might be able to make blue and white porcelain in advance.
As for tea, the layout of Master Yuan in Guangzhou was to create tea gardens and sugarcane.
As for sugarcane, the methods of making sugar cane are already available and quite mature, but the methods of wanting sugar to sugar to white sugar or even rock sugar are still exploring, but at least tea can be used as the flagship product of Luoyang City.
Because it is mainly oolong tea, you might as well name it Luoyang black tea first, and then you can make a brand to support it.
When the tea money is earned, even if others are jealous, get a tea tax, so that people who want to enter this circle have nothing to say but hate it, and then make something else.
It’s not too shabby to make money.
"Peacock, you can pay attention to this matter and prepare it first!" Li Tai said to Peacock.
"No!" Peacock nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, saying that he knew.
"Then the next thing is the cash crop, which is to find a state or county on the entire canal, and specifically ask them to make some oil, medicinal materials, or special foods such as fruits, and take advantage of the advantages of the canal to allow them to transport things.
go out!"
"Will the fruit rot?" Lu Cai pointed out the problem. "If the fruit cannot be sold quickly, for the people, it may cause their annual farming to be wasted!"
Since ancient times, the meals of peasants have always been a big problem. If this happens, Lu Cai feels that the county town is afraid that there will be a riot, which Lu Cai must do his best to avoid.
"Use a jar to hide!" Li Taisi asked, "I remember that in the "Qimin Yaoshu" I have read, it was written "A layer of fish, a layer of rice, press your hands tightly, lotus leaves are closed, mud
The method of storing tanks with air leakage.
But we can go a step further. All the food placed in the clay pot is boiled in hot water to drive away evil spirits, and then seal it with lotus leaves sealing and storing it tightly at the mouth of this bottle. Then store it
The deadline can be further extended!”
Li Tai naturally knew that what he was talking about was the Appel sterilization method invented by France. However, since China already has corresponding mature technology, he naturally had to implement the use of the method. No matter what, use this technology to try it out first.
Let's talk about it later.
"I will ask Mo Ling to try what King Yan said!" Lu Cai Chen said, "As long as this method can prevent the fruit from deteriorating within a month, then I will not be able to implement the plan for your cash crops.
be opposed to!"
To be honest, why did it rarely mention any cash crops in ancient times? Or did the ancient people not be smart enough to use the specialties from their respective regions? In fact, it was still a matter of transportation speed.
If the shelf life of the fruit can be extended to one month, basically the whole course can be eaten. If it can be extended to three months, it can be eaten almost all over the country.
Not to mention that what Li Tai planned to build cities around the canal, with basically one month's shelf life, so this kind of canned fruit can definitely be delivered from Yuhang to Youzhou, so the exchange of items will naturally become rich.
"And what must be built in Luoyang is a bridge across the water..." Li Tai said in a deep voice.
"Is there a bridge in Luoyang? Why do we need to build another bridge?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Tai's words.
"Because I'm waiting for a man named Li Chun to come over and want him to find a way to build the Yellow River Bridge in the future. But before that, let him build the bridge on the Luo River first practice!" Li Tai said as if he were rightful
.
"Who is this?" Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone present had a little confused on their faces and had no impression at all!
"To a certain extent, he is one of the best people of this era!" Li Tai said with a smile.
At this time, Zu Changming surrounded Li Chun's housing in Li County with a fierce look,
"Li Chun, Li County, is here. I am the chief guard of the King of Wei, Youzhou Zu Changming. The King of Wei specially invited craftsman Li Chun to Luoyang to listen to it!"
"Cough cough cough!" A white-haired and white-bearded old man who was supported by a middle-aged man walked out of the house and said in a trembling voice, "Li...Li Chun received the order."
"Are you Li Chun?" Zu Changming looked at the white-haired old man in amazement, and somehow he didn't react and added, "Craftsman Li Chun!"
"Xiaomin...is it!" the old man nodded with difficulty.
"Forget it, I'll buy you a car to Chang'an." Zu Changming pressed his temple and muttered in his heart, "Old man, please go to the road of death. Even if you die, I will die in Luoyang again!"
