"To put emphasis on market profit and neglect righteousness, it is the wrong thing for a ruler to do."
The millennium-old inheritance of Qi cannot be completely obliterated by a major change. Jixia Academy, which was not affected by the disaster of war, dozens or hundreds of Qilu's "masters" and "xuezong", expressed their gratitude to Zhu Biao.
At the very beginning of the founding of the country, the practice of "raising the ranks of industry and commerce and leveling up scholars and peasants" was adopted, and we responded with a determined and irreconcilable stance of opposition.
These people represent the thousand-year tradition of Qi State and the old class interests of Qi State. Like the literati of the old Chinese society on Earth, they have a sacred status in the hearts of the people and control 'social public opinion' to a certain extent.
Before Zhu Biao gained a firm foothold in Qi, he quickly sent troops to march northward. After analyzing the various causes of foreign races, he found that there was no trace of the cause and effect of these masters. Facing the counterattack of Qi's old system, Wen's
On the other hand, Zhu Biao really had no great achievements to deal with. He could only speak with his great martial arts. He used the dignity of the country and washed away the shame in the hearts of the people to fight against the great master Xue Zong.
Facts have proved that Zhu Biao has overcome this hurdle.
The hundreds of "gentry" hiding behind the master Xuezong were definitely a force that no one could ignore. But when they counterattacked, they had already left their hometown and were in a very unfamiliar place in the southern border of Qi State.
The important thing is that it still belongs to their own one-third of an acre of land. No matter how long the commotion continues, it won't matter to Zhu Biao, and the impact on Qi Ting will be very small!
After that, Zhu Biao put a temporary end to this matter by saying, "All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the bustle in the world is for profit."
"Your Majesty, this is a new furnace that is imitated and enlarged from the furnace tested by the master craftsman. One furnace can be filled with five thousand tons of concentrate, which is double the capacity of the old furnace. He also invented innovative manufacturing techniques and achieved ten times the success.
Measuring is actually an important weapon of the true country."
The faces of the master craftsmen beside Zhu Biao were filled with excitement and pride. After years of hard work, he finally lived up to the king's entrustment and produced results.
Ten times the effort!
Taking it out and showing it to the world would be enough to slap the mouths of those old guys in Jixia Academy to pieces, and make the king’s national policy be effective and generous!
Who dares to say "craftsman" again should be humbled?
Although he is a well-educated literary scholar, he is called "Dajiang", but he is not actually a craftsman, but his butt determines his head. When he is appointed as a great craftsman, his own interests are integrated with those of the craftsman.
Originally, he was just one of the nine ministers, and he was just one of the ministers under the rank of Grand Servant. Now his position and functions are comparable to those of the nine ministers. Compared with Zhijinwu, this is a qualitative improvement both in terms of rank and real power.
A leap straight up into the blue clouds. He didn't want to plunge back into the soil from the clouds!
"Five thousand dan!" That's half a million jin!
Zhu Biao stood under the blast furnace and counted silently in his mind. One cubic meter of water weighs two thousand kilograms, and the density of iron is more than eight times that of water. The iron stone must be lighter, so let's make it six times. This is twelve thousand kilograms per cubic meter.
.500,000 kilograms, only 40 cubic meters!
Compared with the converter in his previous life, it was too trivial and childish. Fireflies compared it to the sun and the moon, but this was already the biggest change he could make.
Zhu Biao is not an ‘encyclopedia’ person!
At the same time, this is also an irreparable material gap between the cold weapon era and modern society.
"Your merits have greatly contributed to the country. What a comfort to the lonely king!"
"It's just an important weapon of the country, which should not be underestimated. For the time being... it should not be heard of by the eyes and ears of the world."
"How dare I be greedy? It is enough to have the heart of the king."
What he said about being a great craftsman was not a lie or a lie. All the power of the Qi State was in Zhu Biao's hands, and simplicity was in the emperor's heart. What could be better or better than saying to his ministers?
The credit cannot be shown openly, but as long as Zhu Biao sees it, is he still worried that there will be no compensation?
Time entered the fifth year of the founding of the Zhu family. The output of 570,000 dans of pig iron, 200,000 dans of wrought iron, and 50,000 dans of refined iron once again supported the backbone of Daqi's standing. Although it was in
In the world within the framework of an agricultural society, steel is not the main pillar to measure national strength, but it is definitely one of the important factors that constitute national strength. This is especially true during the war.
A large amount of iron also means that agricultural tools and military equipment are sophisticated. Opening the border to the north, large tracts of cultivated land are included in the national boundaries of Qi State. Under Zhu Biao's vigorous promotion of horse farming, Qi State's grain output has increased steadily, compared with
Steel output exceeded the original annual income earlier, injecting a gurgling fountain of blood into the severely weakened Qi State!
Also starting from the 17th year of Yuanwu, a large amount of iron materials began to flow from Qi to the inland of the Central Plains every year. Of course, the object of Qi's transaction was the Tang Dynasty, and the war entered a period of stalemate and competition.
, this force was no less helpful to the Tang king’s camp than Zhu Biao’s elite cavalry soldiers.
Beginning in the 18th year of Yuanwu, grain also joined the large-scale trade between Qi and Tang.
The steady supply of grain and iron injected a sweet spring into the military and civilians of Northern Xinjiang. Naturally, massive amounts of real gold and silver were also rolled back from Northern Xinjiang into the Qi region, making the great progress of Qi's national strength and industrial and commercial groups more visible.
vigorous!
In the 20th year of Yuanwu, not only Qidi's armor, iron tools, grain, cloth and weaving flowed into northern Xinjiang in large quantities, but also on the coast of the East China Sea, civilian ships and warships manufactured by Qidi also appeared one after another in the Tang Dynasty.
in the military and civilian array.
In the past five years, although Zhu Biao was restoring and developing the national and people's power of Qi, his powerful and invincible cavalry army also continued to advance towards the eastern seaboard. In doing so, it not only blocked the future northward development of Lu, but also sought to
An outlet to the sea.
Zhu Biao truly understood the urgency of the Russians in his previous life to seek sea exports. The wealth of the ocean and the huge gap between sea transportation and land transportation made Zhu Biao feel suffocated.
Fortunately, the strength of the State of Lu has not yet been restored, the power of the king and ministers are intertwined, and the poverty of the people means that the soldiers and civilians of the State of Lu have no intention of looking north. In Zhu Biao's army, they advanced more than 2,000 miles in three years, directly cutting off the territory from outside the territory.
When we were at the border of Lu State, the King of Lu even sent ministers to express his gratitude.
Perhaps this was King Lu's last resort, to paralyze Zhu Biao. If he was sincere, then the country of Lu really had no future at all. The royal family of King Lu, who was beaten so badly, almost lost the country, and overthrew the ancestral temple, could not
If you are willing to look north again, you can only say that you are completely frightened! Your ambition and spirit are completely discouraged.
…
Time has entered June of this year.
In an inconspicuous Marina Bay port in the North District of the East China Sea, a five-masted sea-going ship slowly docked at the bluestone port. This was a sea-going ship from Ezo, and it had traveled thousands of miles to bring it here.
A whole boatload of immigrants from Ezo can also be said to be refugees.
Since the war in the Central Plains was completely triggered, Wu Yue and other countries in the south were also on the verge of war due to the changes in Chu State. The two countries and the two kings of Liang and Ning had too much energy and strength to be involved in the war on the mainland. The Japanese and the
Another war between the Ezo people broke out without wasting even half a second!
In any war, ordinary people suffer the greatest harm. In the Ezo-Japanese Kingdom, the naval battles and fighting between the two countries left countless Japanese and Ezo families dead and their lives unable to continue. In the two countries, young people left in large numbers.
When the waves hit the sea, countless Japanese people who made their living by fishing, but now were completely in dire straits, began to sell everything they had in their hometown, and fled in droves to Wuyue with their few meager possessions.
, fleeing to the east of the Central Plains, fleeing to Qilu, and even the current eastern lands.
He was unfavorable to the Japanese from the bottom of his heart, and even the Eni people suffered a lot. Zhu Biao did not allow the refugees from the two countries to actually enter the mainland of Qi.
A vast new land.
And with the complete opening up of Qi State's road to the sea, Qi State, which has an external interface, under Zhu Biao's instructions, directly accepted refugees from the two countries fleeing north at extraterritorial ports. Naturally, this news was immediately reported by countless smugglers.
'I knew it, so the scene in front of me appeared.
Nearly five hundred refugees disembarked from the sea ship to the port. Because of the war, most of these Japanese and Eni people who were already "bankrupt" paid their last copper for the ship fare. After disembarking, the five hundred
More than 80% of refugees are absolute proletarians, poorer than beggars.
If there were not a refugee camp set up in the port itself, these people would definitely have spent their first day in the mainland in hunger, thirst and despair...
