Section 42 Listening to thunder in a silent place

Du Wei also returned to Chang'an City and found an inn in Xinghuafang to settle down first. Then he lay in the bathtub and thought about what he would do tomorrow. Today he saw that the old man returned to Chang'an. So, what are the gossips spreading outside?

It has all turned into nonsense. As long as this old man is outside for a day, the entire Tang Dynasty will not be stable for a day.

The dialogue between the north and the south is now very marketable. Those southerners who have become rich want more rights. The Tang Dynasty divided the world into ten realms, so naturally there will be talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the front and the back. Lingnan, Lianghu, these places are because of

In recent years, it has gradually become richer, even surpassing key places such as Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. However, the imperial court is far behind those three places in terms of policy inclination and support.

Speaking of closeness, Yuezhou feels that he should be taken more seriously. Most of the people here originally moved from Chang'an. When you go to the streets of Yuezhou, you will hear the standard Guanzhong accent. Why do farmers in Henan Province

The tax can be fully reduced, but the two lakes have to pay an additional 10% on the original basis?

Officials in these two places would go to Zhezi to plead the grievances of the people under their rule when they had nothing to do. Once upon a time, all the troops from the Sixteenth Guards came out of Hanzhong and watched Yuezhou with eager eyes.

Some self-righteous people loudly expressed their opinions, believing that the Civil War was inevitable. This time was different from any previous rebellions. The previous rebellions all started because they had no food to eat. The current rebellion is somewhat different.

It means something else. This is a naked "chiluo" power struggle. The people in the south are reaching out to the people in the north to demand equal treatment. Some people speculate that once such a war occurs, no one will have room to retreat. This

It is not about the interests of one or two people, but about the interests of everyone. Once the war starts, it will not stop until the death!

The old man returned to Chang'an. The claims outside were nonsense, which meant that the war could not be fought. Thinking of his rivet business, Du Wei felt like a fire was in his heart. As long as there was no war, the north and the south could only continue to integrate.

If we communicate, the bridge will definitely be built. Only by turning the natural chasm into a thoroughfare can this country truly become a monolith.

Du Wei believed that as a big shopkeeper, he should have a brighter future. He never believed that Datang would only build a bridge on the Yangtze River. Isn't it necessary on the Yellow River? Not on the Huaihe River?

Du Wei even thinks that bridges should be built on all the big rivers in the country and connected with damn trains. Can't the workshop under his jurisdiction handle some railway spikes? Or other small things?

My heart is very hot. The old man has returned to Chang'an. The war can no longer be fought. Everything is going well. The great construction of Datang is about to begin, and the huge amount of money in Datang's banks is about to be distributed...

When the red sun was rising, the Wanmin Palace was packed with people. Zhang Jianzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, after Changsun Chong reported on the court's progress on the land reform issue, he jumped out impatiently and prepared to put the Yangtze River Bridge in Hankou on the agenda.

At the same time, the feasibility report of the other three bridges was also reported, urging the court to make an early determination to communicate between the north and the south. Now, while the contradiction between the north and the south has not yet become irreconcilable, it should step up the integration of the north and the south. Finally, as long as it is

People living in the land of the Tang Dynasty should not be divided into north and south, up and down.

If Zhang Jianzhi's memorial touched Li Chengqian's heart, Yunshou's memorial made Li Chengqian even more happy, because Yunshou also analyzed the importance of building bridges from a military strategy perspective. As long as the bridge is connected, the railway can be built step by step.

Follow up. The elite troops from Guanzhong can drive to any piece of land in the Tang Dynasty as quickly as possible. It is fast and efficient. It is what the soldiers strive for. If the imperial court can build more than three bridges on the Yangtze River. The Sixteenth Guards and

The Xuanjia Army, Lingnan Navy, and Donghai Navy, these elite troops can increase the ability to control the territory of the Tang Dynasty by 30%.

Li Tai sat on a big chair and said casually without standing up with his huge belly: "Some people said some time ago that there was going to be a war between the north and the south. The lonely king originally wanted to slap these nonsense mouths. The Tang Dynasty is at peace.

No one wants to rebel, and no one is willing to rebel. After Chu Guogong went out to play, there will be such rumors. Don't let the lonely king find out who spread the news. If you find out, you will be lucky.

Bar."

Seeing that his younger brother had already spoken, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "You have your mouth on other people's faces, how can you still stop them all? Let them talk. We do our own thing. Since the academy has a mature plan, sirs

Let’s discuss it again and see if the national treasury can support such a huge expenditure.”

Li Tai smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't cost much money from the treasury. I have an idea. It's better to hand over the bridge between Jingkou and Guazhou to build. Not far from Jingkou is Gaozhou, which is considered to be the boundary of Lingnan.

After my brother plans to pay for the construction of this bridge, he will first collect bridge tolls for fifty years. Of course, he will only accept carriages, horses and merchants, not pedestrians, and he will not collect money from the army. For the sake of future generations,

Find a place to eat, brother Huang, what do you think?"

Li Tai had told Li Chengqian about this very early in the morning. In order not to irritate Feng Zhidai and Li Rong in Lingnan too much, it would be best for Li Tai to build the bridge in his name. This would ensure the smooth progress of the project. Now

Nowadays, the golden sign of King Wei is very effective. There are people in the world who do not sell the emperor's account, but there are very few people who do not sell the face of King Wei.

Changsun Chong wanted to stand up and say that he could undertake the construction of the Hankou Bridge. Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't seem to have any intention of contracting out all the bridges, he had to shut up. What's more, he smelled a strong smell of Yun Ye from the middle.

How could a person be so selfless? There was no way to express the anger in Changsun Chong's heart. Yun Ye didn't care about Lingnan or Yuezhou, and he still cared about Zhaozhou and Liaodong.

Could it be said that Yun Ye has lost his ambition and long-term plan to replace it? Why is this?

"Why? I hate the endless dynasty changes. Even if the Yun family wins, will the Yun family still have to be replaced by others in one or two hundred years? There is no point in doing this. I won't do it. As long as the Yun family

If you can speak in this country called Tang, what does it matter whether you are the emperor or not?

Being an emperor is like sitting on the crater of a volcano. If your butt is big enough, you can still hold down the volcano. If your butt is not big enough, you will be burned to ashes by the volcano. I can't be an emperor, and neither can Shou'er. Since

If our two most promising generations fail to succeed, we shouldn’t bear this burden on ourselves.”

Yun Ye had a pipe in his mouth and rubbed Xin Yue's legs through the quilt. Just now, Xin Yue started to cramp again.

Xin Yue spat at her husband angrily. She was still making such a nasty joke when she was dozens of years old. She proudly picked up a sandalwood box studded with gems from the bedside, opened it carefully, and took out a diamond from the inside. The longan-sized honey ball said with a smile: "The life-enhancing pill you brought is soothing to eat. This is what I should eat. Since I started using it, I have rarely had cramps. Yunshou's You little bastard, you actually let me take pills that make you rich. It makes me sick just looking at him.

After all, children are unreliable, but you still know how to love me."

Yun Ye chuckled and said: "It's good to know. I stole this from your husband from the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple. Now Shishi's father, Master Jueyuan, is the host. When I stole it, he didn't see it. .I have helped him raise his daughter for decades, so I still have to give this bit of face to me."

Xin Yue swallowed the pill with warm water. The pill was a bit big and it was a bit difficult to swallow. However, when she thought that this was a secret of the Shaolin Temple, Xin Yue didn't care anymore. Good things will be too satisfying. .

After taking the medicine, I carefully hid the box. There was only one box of this thing, and I didn’t know if it was still there after I finished eating.

"Eat it with confidence. Not only did I steal the pills, I also stole the secret recipe. After eating, we will continue to make it. From now on, we will change this thing into a small package. It is sold all over the Tang Dynasty. It is produced by Yun's. It must be a high-quality product. !”

No matter when she was a girl or now, Xin Yue likes to see her husband in high spirits the most. He has not been like this for many years, and now it has started to appear again, which can only mean that her husband is in a very good mood now.

Yun Ye's joy did not last long. An old widow with white hair came to the door. There was nothing that could be done about it. The eldest grandson now completely lived like an ancestor. He clearly had a very straight back, but he still had to lean on his back. Wearing a dragon-headed crutch, she insists on saying that it is a treasure used to knock out the emperor and slander his ministers. It is said that the late emperor gave it to her when he came to discipline the descendants of the Li family. Damn it, when Li Er died, he I have never heard of such a thing before, but I can't afford to offend it.

Li Chengqian didn't refute, and Li Tai didn't refute even more, so Yun Ye, his son-in-law, was even more unqualified to refute. If she said she had this thing, then just have it, but her eldest grandson would come to Yun's house every now and then to show off the power of the dragon-head crutch. This is going to kill you,

"My disciple is very greedy, but I am not a greedy minister. Your crutch can knock you out and slander your ministers, but you can't hit this disciple. I haven't been to court for many years, so the word "greedy" can only be explained verbally. , it cannot be explained from other places.”

The eldest grandson handed the crutch to the maid and sighed: "Why are you hitting me? You guys give me the face of an old woman and keep silent no matter how hard you teach me. This is filial piety, I know, but you stay out for a long time. If I die, you won't be able to see me for the last time. It's scary to think about it.

It’s best if you come back. If you stay in the south and refuse to come back, I don’t know whether it’s better to live or die!”

PS: I am in Shanghai and have been traveling by plane, bus and subway for a whole day. Sorry for being a little late.
