Yun Ye was very clear about what Lao Du said. The Changsun family almost risked their fortune and life for the hot air balloon. They spent a lot of money at the academy hoping to get the best propeller. There has been no progress yet, so they can only
Use the wind to fly short distances.
Li Tai's heart is higher than the sky. He dreams that one day he can fly faster than the fastest bird. The flight in his heart is definitely not represented by something as slow as a hot air balloon.
The business of the Tang Dynasty has almost reached its peak. Merchants searched all over the country and brought back countless treasures from the desert, next door, ocean, and foreign lands. Countless Hu merchants in Chang'an City were proud to sell the rare treasures on the street.
Faced with these treasures, the people of Chang'an just snorted contemptuously and began to find faults in the treasures until the foreign merchants turned red in the face.
With the prosperity of commerce, various new accounting methods emerged one after another. On the relief sculpture of Wuliang Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a record of "Fuxi Cangjing, who first established the king's industry, drew hexagrams and knotted ropes to manage the sea", which means that Fuxi's family
When he was a tribal leader, he managed tribal production activities and daily life with the help of methods such as gossip, knotting of numbers, and recording events. Such economic activities were already a distant legend for the Tang people. However, the Tubo people, the Turks, the Tuyuhun people, and Xue Yantuo
People still use knots to keep track of their accounts.
As a result, in mutual economic activities, people who use ropes to keep accounts cannot conduct complex transactions with people who take notebooks. Especially in Chang'an, Fang Xuanling can't read the account books.
Can people understand it?
Military plunder is only part of it, and the most cruel plunder is commercial plunder. The Hu people will only find that their goods are becoming less and less valuable, while the materials of the Tang Dynasty are becoming more and more expensive. The Tang Dynasty only wants their most primitive products, and the Tang Dynasty only wants their most primitive products.
There is no interest in those products that have already been formed. In other words, if you go to Chang'an with an uncarved jade, you may be able to sell it for a good price, but if you go to Chang'an with a beautifully carved jade carving, you won't be able to sell it.
The cunning merchants of the Tang Dynasty found that the more complicated the accounting methods and business models were, the more beneficial they were to them, so that the account books were now so unfamiliar that even wise men like Fang Xuanling could not understand them.
"Du Xiang, this is wrong. If this continues, the account book will lose its original meaning. What is an account? An account is a way to record the economic activities of a country, a company, or an individual. The more concise and clear the better, how come it has become
The secret that belongs to one person, and keeping accounts like this shows that his original intention is to deceive. Once he starts using accounts to deceive, it will become a big harm.
When the Prime Minister saw such account books for the first time, he should have taken heavy action and brought these bastards to Dali Temple for questioning. The first thing to ask was whether there was any corruption. If so, even minor crimes should be punished severely.
I think it is a good idea to send them away to Yazhou. Even if he is not guilty, we should use the most vicious thoughts to figure out his thoughts on keeping accounts like this. Dismissal from office should be an effective method."
After listening to Yun Ye's words, Du Ruhui put down his job and said doubtfully: "The country is now in a period of rapid change. I and others can no longer judge the pros and cons of a thing. Just like in the past, when we thought it was a wrong thing, it turned out to be more than ten years old.
Years later, we found that they were right, such as the ban on opening up merchants. Since ancient times, we have believed that farming has only three times the benefits, working has only five times the benefits, and doing business will have hundreds of times the benefits. We are very worried that once
Lifting the ban will cause the same thing as Guan Zhong did in Qi, where farmland will be deserted, hundreds of industries will be abandoned, and everyone will want to become a merchant and pursue a hundredfold profit.
However, it doesn’t seem like this now. Farmers are still farming, farmland is not abandoned, workers are still working, and the work is becoming more and more sophisticated. The number of merchants has indeed increased, but it has brought countless taxes to the country. Marquis Yun is far away
Unbeknownst to the border officials, this year's agricultural tax has once again dropped by 30%. Not only that, rents and rents, these three items are also steadily declining. I am optimistic that in another ten years, the tax-free agricultural tax will be completely realized.
Does Marquis Yun know what the non-taxation of agriculture means? It means that the people will never rebel again. As long as they farm, they will have enough food and clothing. The country of the Tang Dynasty will naturally last for thousands of years, so your majesty will focus on the people like us.
Your Majesty's head has been transferred. Haha, your Majesty's policy must be to further relieve the burden on the farmers. Even if Marquis Yun is in such an embarrassing situation, your Majesty is still unwilling to use large-scale troops. This is because your Majesty decided to appease the people.
as the first priority.
Did you know? Old Wei is now a city gate official, but his health has miraculously improved. He mounts a horizontal sword and goes to Changle Gate every day to check out the lawbreakers, and he has become a tyrant in Chang'an.
People like me will be searched by him. Last time, he actually took off my jade pendant and said that it was a red envelope that he deserved for entering the house. He said that he had endured being honest all his life and now he could finally blackmail hundreds of officials in a legitimate way. He also said
The position of a city gatekeeper is so lucrative that the official position he held decades ago was in vain.
When it came to Wei Zheng's matter, Du Ruhui stroked his belly and was overjoyed. Old Wei made the emperor half angry. If it weren't for Sun Ying, he would have conquered Bintian and finally survived, as if he had forgotten the existence of Wei Zheng. This would be great.
." I now envy Old Wei. Every morning when he wakes up, he strolls to Changle Gate to guard Quan to relax his muscles. He can also casually humiliate His Majesty and everyone below the Queen, treating a city gatekeeper as more than a prime minister.
Scenery, after I become an official, I will be satisfied if I can have half the prestige of Wei.
Yun Ye could see that Du Ruhui was really preparing for his retirement now, not only for him, but also for Fang Xuanling. Otherwise, he would never have asked college students to help him interpret the ledgers. In the past, he would have encountered
If something like this happens, the official who did the accounting will definitely be sent to Dali Temple for questioning.
The old guys all plan to have a good start and end well, but they don't know whether their plan will succeed.
The biggest advantage of Xu Jingzong is that a gentleman does not stand behind dangerous walls. Since he is guarding the Rock City with a group of heavy troops, he will naturally run his lair watertight. Since Yun Ye left, he has
While continuing to strengthen the fortress according to the eight formation diagram left by Yuan Shoucheng, Xu Jingzong did not do anything to save money in the army. No amount of money was worth as much as his own life. All caravans returning from Yumen Pass must be checked for him.
Cement, if you don't check it in, you can't even hope to get supplies in Loulan's generation.
Patrolling llL Stone City every day has become his routine duty. When he saw a kite eagle falling into the mansion, he hurriedly got off the city wall, beating drums in his heart, hoping that the news conveyed by the kite eagle was a good thing.
After pouring the note from the bamboo tube and reading it carefully, he sat down on the chair. The deputy general took the note and read it, and immediately shouted: "Prepare the army for war!" Xu Jingzong is a civil servant, and he must prepare at this time.
If you are defending the city, you will naturally be responsible for fighting.
Xu Jingzong took a long breath and stuffed the note into the bamboo tube again, and immediately wrote two letters. The two teams rode fast horses towards Guanzhong and towards Gaochang. "What is destined to come cannot be escaped.
Damn it, following this bastard Yun Ye, I have been shocked three times a day in my life, but it’s okay, it’s not in vain. Since the whole world has attacked the Tang Dynasty, there will be no stability wherever we go. Rock City is my heart and soul.
, there’s nothing special about using it to fight.”
After cheering himself up, he asked Hu Ji to put on his armor. The Yun family's armor was light and strong, making it the best choice for civil servants. I bought a new set from the Yun family in the early years, and originally thought of using it as a suit.
It's just a decoration, but I never thought that I would rely on it to save my life.
The Turks will not come to bring bad luck to me. Guo Xiaoke is blocking him in front of him. The only ones who can come are the Tubo people. Why did the bastard Guo Xiaoke go to Qiuci with nothing to do? Isn't this just feeding into the wolf's mouth?
You have no brains and you are still stubborn. You are so stubborn. The Turkic coalition attacked with a total of half a million people. They continued to charge forward without sorting out the defense line. This is asking for death.
Xu Jingzong sighed, it was not a pity for Guo Xiaoke to die, and his soldiers had to save him, so he called in a team of scouts and wrote a new letter, ordering them to deliver this letter to Guo Xiaoke no matter what.
Use the fastest speed.
After climbing the city wall, I saw the lieutenants and captains working hard to prepare the city defense. I couldn't help but look up at the sky, and then I realized that the sky above the rubble city was covered with dark clouds, and the wind blew through the rubble, making a whining sound like a raspberry.
, full of desolation. "Left full rudder!" Liu Renyuan stood on the bridge and kept giving orders. The Emperor sailed through the waves, and the huge bow pierced a man-eating ship arbitrarily, floating with the waves.
When it rose, the ship was lifted high and then broke into two pieces. The crossbow windows on both sides of the battleship were all opened, and thick crossbow arrows were sprayed out crazily.
Fires continued to burst out on the sea, and the man-eating ships were still attacking crazily. "Commander, our auxiliary ship is about to be unable to hold on. All six warships are surrounded by enemy ships. We should go back to rescue," he
The deputy general loudly suggested to Liu Renyuan, "We won't go. The enemy chief's ship is ahead. All we have to do is destroy it and tell the auxiliary ship to hold on. If we hold on for half an hour, we will go back."
A low horn sounded from the Great Emperor. When the captain of the auxiliary ship heard the horn, he wiped the blood on his face and said loudly: "Brothers, the Great Emperor wants us to hold on for an hour. He has gone to capture the enemy chief. Hold on, kerosene."
Barrel, elevation three feet, match rope three points, launch! ""I'm going to catch this beast and ask him if he has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's heart. If he dares to destroy the strait pass, I will impale him alive on a wooden pole and let him go.
On Crab Island to be devoured by seabirds."
Liu Renyuan was about to go crazy with anger. The big cannibal dared to sneak attack on the strait and sent red warriors to break through the pass. All the sergeants were impaled on wooden poles to show the public. How could he not avenge this hatred?
