Memorials from various places were sent to Chang'an City, and there was still governance in Guanzhong.
But the Yellow River leaves Luoyang, and Henan and Shandong along the river are not well protected.
This time during the Yellow River flood season, many places still failed to take precautions.
Most of the agriculture in the Central Plains relies on the small-scale peasant economy of the Yellow River.
It relies on the Yellow River and is also controlled by the Yellow River.
Throughout the ages, many dynasties have fought against and managed the Yellow River.
The news was sent to the court, and Li Shimin immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang, and Cen Wenwen.
Take the memorials from various places and analyze the current situation.
In the Manlu Hall, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Three thousand acres in Henan and five thousand acres in Shandong. These fields are soaked in water. Tell me about it."
Changsun Wuji's face was not good-looking, which had a lot to do with him in the appointment of nobles and officials in various places.
Wei Zhengyan asked: "How are the grain storages in various official warehouses this year?"
Cen Wenwen held the file in hand and replied: "Henan has 50,000 shi of grain reserves, and Luoyang and Shandong also have enough grain to cope with this flood. 100,000 shi is enough."
One hundred thousand shi of grain is indeed enough to cope with this flood.
What made Li Shimin unhappy was that Guanzhong attached great importance to the management of the Yellow River flood season. Shangguan Yi, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, had already informed various towns and counties when the rain first came, so that no hidden dangers were caused.
After all, the situation in various places in the Central Plains is different, and other places should also pay as much attention to it as Guanzhong.
Li Shimin looked displeased. He didn't want the flood situation in the Yellow River to be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Finally, the emperor's eyes fell on Changsun Wuji.
The management of floods is not a problem. Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, grain harvests have been abundant in various parts of the Central Plains, giving Datang enough confidence to deal with this flood.
Facing His Majesty's gaze, Changsun Wuji said in unison: "Your Majesty, I will arrange for people to inquire the various state capitals."
Li Shimin nodded and said with a straight face: "Xuanling, please arrange for someone to visit various villages and counties to investigate."
"Here."
Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the officials in the counties and prefectures where the waterlogging occurred should also be punished."
Li Shimin nodded.
There was a long discussion in the Manna Hall, and everything from governance to politics to subsequent food distribution was arranged.
The political institutions of the Tang Dynasty began to operate in response to this flood.
This flood has also highlighted a problem: North Korea and China's control over various places is still too loose.
Li Shimin used this incident to once again remove many officials from various places who had mismanaged the affairs, and replaced them with officials selected from the imperial examination.
Zhang Yang was not surprised when he heard the news. Taifu Temple did not have much power to manage various state capitals.
Aunt Yang came with two packages, "Marquis of the County, this is from the Secretary Superintendent."
First I put down my baggage, and then my aunt handed me a volume of letters, "This is the news from Nanzhao."
Zhang Yang opened the letter and saw the news sent by Brother He Fei. He had captured most of the land in Nanzhao's siege, and he also said that he would block Nanzhao's connection to Guanzhong as soon as possible.
Now he is very close to the capital of Nanzhao. The king of Nanzhao is in Taihe City. It will not be difficult to control the entire Nanzhao as long as he takes this city.
According to the time when the news was sent, the news was sent at the beginning of the year, but now it is almost June before the news comes.
After half a year of traveling back and forth, by the time Lishan sends another message, they might have captured Nanzhao.
"Where did this man find the soldiers and horses?" Zhang Yang burned the letter in confusion.
After entering Nanzhao with dozens of people, we can now pull together a team of thousands to attack Yamato City.
With Nanzhao's military strength, a few dozen people can be considered an army, a hundred people can take down a village, and a thousand people can be a large army.
Such an army can look down upon Nanzhao.
Zhang Yang didn't intend to reply to He Fei, and he couldn't stop him, and he didn't know how long it would take for the letter to be delivered to Nanzhao.
There is no point in trying to persuade someone like He Bei not to be a coward.
He has always been free and easy and used to being idle. If he wants to stay in Nanzhao and become a foolish king, let him do it.
As for his ideal, after taking Nanzhao, he wanted to be the king of Nanzhao and drink with Tian Khan. Does this guy still remember it?
It doesn’t matter if he comes back or not.
In short, why is it that he is not someone Lishan can control? He has been out of control from the moment he left Guanzhong.
Zhang Yang focused his attention on the file in front of him, which was sent by the secretary supervisor.
According to Cen Wenwen's explanation, he hoped that Lishan could sort out various taxes from various places and formulate a summary.
Zhang Yang looked at the files one after another. These files were from a long time ago, and there were also records from the Daye period of the previous Sui Dynasty. They were of no reference at all.
Takeru's file records from six years ago are also missing.
Many of them are missing or incomplete.
Zhang Yang simply classified these memorials, from Daye Year, to Wude, to Zhenguan Year, with three piles of files in front of him.
During the Daye period, various places were in chaos. Many taxes that could be collected were imposed by force, or there was no tax at all that year.
On the other hand, there are many volumes on Luoyang, except for the most prosperous area in the Central Plains of Chang'an City, which is Luoyang.
Looking at the memorials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River, we can see that the taxes paid six years ago have also been discontinued.
However, in the early years of Wude, there were wars all over the Central Plains, so it was normal that there were no records.
The dense clouds in the sky finally began to dissipate, and the sun penetrated the dark clouds. Looking up, you could see streaks of light coming out of the clouds.
A ray of bright sunshine is now shining on Lishan Mountain, and it feels very comfortable when it shines on me.
Then the wind picked up, the clouds in the sky moved faster, and the dark clouds completely dispersed by noon.
The blue sky finally appeared. Zhang Yang stood up, stretched, and walked into the house to listen to his wife teaching his daughter to write.
Hot water was boiling on the stove at home, and Zhang Yang put his feet on Xiong Da's back.
After teaching his daughter how to write, Li Yue said again: "I heard from my aunt that there are some rumors in Chang'an City recently."
"Well, what rumors?"
"It's because our Lishan production is too fast, and Lantian County and Gaoling County have also joined our production. The merchants in Chang'an City are panicking."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Yang said with a smile: "This is inevitable. When a new production method appears, many merchants will naturally worry that their operations will be affected."
Now Lishan has handed over simple downstream technology production to Lantian County and Gaoling County.
This reduces the burden on Lishan and at the same time improves efficiency and makes full use of manpower.
There is a saying that everyone is a bad person and everyone is a profiteer.
In the eyes of merchants, Lishan was not much better.
Everyone is a bad person, the only difference is who is worse.
For the sake of profit, businessmen can think of ways to obtain benefits by substituting inferior goods. As long as the benefit is large enough, Lu Buwei can become prime minister.
They are just a bunch of bastards who try their best to concentrate wealth in their own hands.
Merchants will eat the same kind to obtain the other party's production resources and expand their own scale again.
Lishan is the same kind as them, but he doesn't look like the same kind. Lishan is more like a savage beast, which makes people fearful. They worry that Lishan will eat these merchants in one bite.
"When the technical institute is successfully constructed, Lishan can begin to train technical personnel from all walks of life, master the career choices of technical personnel, and master the names and origins of these people. Lishan will also have control over human resources."
Li Yue sat down straightly, "Husband, manpower should not be resources."
Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Isn't it true that all dynasties have used corvee recruitment and collection of human resources as resources?"
Hearing this, she still shook her head and said: "Confucian classics are still the most important thing in official learning. People are people, not resources. What are resources? Resources are coal, stone and iron. They are things that can be discarded after use, so manpower cannot
Use it as a resource.”
Zhang Yang almost forgot that the word human resources is based on bloody capital.
Such an inhumane word, but in terms of development, production, and cruel profit logic, this kind of word is slowly being accepted by people.
The daughter-in-law does not want this word to appear in Datang. Even if Lishan really regards human resources as resources, she cannot say this, admit it, or say it out.
Wouldn’t the emperor regard manpower as a resource?
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "How about using the term labor dispatch?"
Li Yue smiled brightly, "Well, this is better."
"This time Taifu Temple helped manage the river in Guanzhong, and many people in Guanzhong County and Township praised it. It seems that my husband is one step closer to developing the great cause of planting."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Only when the world is at peace and the Tang Dynasty is doing well, can we make a fortune and leave enough money for future generations to squander."
"My father took advantage of this flood to dismiss many local officials and sent new officials to manage it."
"Your father is a bastard. No matter what the situation is, he is always planning for power."
"That's how the emperor is. There is nothing wrong with the emperor."
While the couple was talking, Li Yuan sent three more baby milk bears to please Xiao Qingqing.
The emperor's great-granddaughter's love was beyond measure.
Xiao Qingqing happily named the new bears: Xiong Jiu, Xiong Ten, and Xiong Eleven.
Zhang Yang sighed solemnly, "It seems that our house is really going to become a bear's den."
"It's not that we can't afford to raise them, it would be good to have a few more bears to prevent them from being lonely, and they can also be used to look after homes and homes."
Seeing the two pandas sleeping after eating, Zhang Yang laughed heartily, "They don't look like they can look after homes and homes."
There are more bears at home, and the bears brought by His Majesty two years ago have also grown up a lot. At night, Zhang Yang sat in the study and continued to write the teaching materials for the children. Hearing the snoring one after another, he had no choice but to put down his pen.
.
The big bear at home snores while sleeping, and the little bears also snore.
It was like a band playing. Zhang Yang drank a sip of tea, washed himself and went to bed early.
The next morning, Li Tai heard the guard's report and cursed angrily: "Asshole! Asshole! They are all a bunch of bastards!"
Li Tai got angry in his yard and shouted: "Why do they say that Lishan bullies merchants!"
The guard stood at the door and bowed: "So what if Lishan bullies the merchants? They are just a group of businessmen."
Li Tai angrily wanted to go to Chang'an City to argue with them, but he came back just a few steps out of the village.
Then Li Tai found Shangguan Yi, and the two of them understood the cause of the matter after discussing it.
The incident happened in Chongde Square yesterday. Nowadays, officials from the DPRK are often seen in Chongde Fang. Some merchants complained to the officials from the DPRK, saying that Lishan bullied the merchants and squeezed them out with cheap goods.
The prices of goods in Lishan are indeed very low. Taking cloth and silk as an example, the market price in Chang'an City is twenty yuan per foot of cloth.
Some merchants came to Lishan to purchase goods and resold them in Chang'an City for only ten yuan.
Shangguan Yi had just escaped from the task of controlling the flood, and before he could get a good sleep, he heard His Highness the King of Wei scolding the merchants of Chang'an City for nearly half an hour.
"Your Highness, King Wei, what does this stupid thing mean?"
"My brother-in-law taught me," Li Tai replied.
Shangguan Yi smiled in astonishment, and explained the reason as he came to his office to tidy up, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, don't underestimate the difference of ten dollars."
"Can't merchants make less?"
Li Tai took it for granted.
Shangguan Yi explained: "Your Highness, the King of Wei, a foot of cloth is woven from silk, and it has to go through workshops. The workshops also need to earn money. Let's say that the laborers are given three coins, and the workshops earn three coins.
Dyeing cloth costs two yuan per foot, and when it is in the hands of merchants, merchants need to pay all the previous costs, and then take the finished cloth to sell in the market to make profits..."
The process of cloth production, manufacturing and sales is described, and a complete industrial chain is slowly depicted.
After the cost is apportioned, if the merchants pay ten yuan for one foot of cloth according to Lishan's price, those merchants will indeed lose money if they buy it at Lishan's price after paying the cost of the workshop.
Li Tai scratched his head, squatted down and looked at the ants on the ground, lost in thought.
Why Lishan can be sold at such a low price is because Lishan's factory does not require much manpower when producing cloth.
Only three or five people are needed to control the assembly line so that cloth can be produced continuously.
This is not of the same order of magnitude as the efficiency of handicraft workshops. To increase production, handicraft workshops require more labor.
But Lishan is different. Compared with Lishan's production model, it's like someone carrying a bucket to the river to fetch water, and then carrying the bucket to water.
Lishan's model is like a water tanker, which saves a lot of effort and time.
To weave cloth in the factory, you only need to hang dozens of twisters, and the thread ends of the twisters are hung on rows of needles, so that the cloth can be made by winding the spinning wheel.
Not to mention that now there is a steam engine. As long as the steam engine is running, the spinning wheel will rotate and the thread will be drawn automatically.
The production efficiency is not on the same scale at all, nor can it be compared with human power. If it is divided into two shifts day and night, it can produce continuously.
Li Tai felt a little unreasonable and whispered: "So are we really bullying these merchants?"
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "Your Highness, King Wei, how can a merchant have such courage to sue Lishan?"
"It's true, who is the merchant? How dare you come to sue Lishan!" Li Tai felt angry and slightly dissatisfied. He asked out of curiosity: "No! There is someone behind the merchant."
"Well, in my humble opinion, His Highness the King of Wei is laughing at me."
Li Tai calmed down and quickly analyzed, "First of all, Lishan cannot meet the needs of the entire Chang'an City, so bullying merchants is untenable. Secondly, Lishan's cotton is seasonal, so it will not have a great impact on them."
