Chapter 878: Huang Lao’s Learning and Lishan Mountain
Pei Xingjian rode his horse at the front, got off his horse and was the first to step forward, "Disciple has seen the teacher."
Zhang Yang looked at him with a smile, "The last time I saw you, you weren't that tall."
"My disciple grew a lot during the two years he was in Persia."
As he spoke, Pei Xingjian looked at Zhang Yang, who was wearing a pair of cloth shoes and stepping on the ground. He did not look like an immortal who could ride on the wind.
He looks pretty good, and there is still some green stubble on his chin.
It seems that I pay great attention to repairing the edges on weekdays, but I seemed to have neglected it today.
Lishan County Hou seems to be an extremely ordinary person.
Zhang Yang saw the visitors getting out of the car one by one and saluted, "I have met His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister."
"Huh? Brother Wenwen, you are here too."
Cen Wenwen held a pen in one hand and a book in the other and said: "Marquis of the County, we are here to inquire about the Lishan factory. According to the regulations of the Central Government, we need to give Lishan permission."
Zhang Yang led a few people into the village, walking at the front with Cen Wenwen, "Does the DPRK have a clear framework for the production system?"
Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "Which specific framework...the DPRK and China have not yet made plans, and want to take Lishan as the standard."
Somewhat worried and speechless, he added: "If there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done in production, we can arrange them according to the appearance of Lishan. I wonder what the county marquis wants?"
Li Chengqian walked behind, listening to the conversation between the two, with Fang Xuanling walking beside him, and Zhang Xingcheng and Ma Zhou behind him.
Lishan has changed again. Several new houses have been added, and several smooth roads have been added. The areas that used to be acres of land have also been compacted into flat land.
There are more and more children in this village.
When everyone came to the factory, Zhang Yang asked: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, take Brother Wenwen and the others to see the factory first."
Ma Zhou added: "I would also like to visit the villagers here and ask a few questions."
Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "Come with me."
Several people dispersed in front of the factory.
In front of him, the Prime Minister was still standing here. Zhang Yang asked, "Won't the Prime Minister go and see the factory?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Cen Wenwen and Ma Zhou will take care of it."
"Right."
"You always want to build Guanzhong, how many years do you plan to spend."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Maybe another ten years, or another twenty years?"
"Time is a bit short."
"It's indeed a bit short, then thirty years?"
Fang Xuanling still shook his head and whispered: "You said you want to build Guanzhong, what do you want to build it into?"
"At least try my best."
Another group of children ran past in front of them. These children were not afraid of officials. To them, even the emperor would often come to Lishan, and the children were no longer surprised.
Fang Xuanling said again: "You are very confident."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "In my hometown, every household still lived in dilapidated houses, and then everyone could afford to live in brick and stone houses. This change only took three years from the time I can remember, and then there was a flat house."
The road was open to traffic only for two years, and then there were changes every year."
"You miss your hometown very much?"
"Well, I miss it very much."
"Where is your hometown?"
Zhang Yang looked at his feet, smiled silly, and suddenly looked up at the sky, "I have always been in my hometown."
"you……"
People can empathize with each other. The situation that Fang Xuanling empathizes with may not be the same scene, but the beauty that everyone longs for is the same.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Although the world has changed, the world has not changed."
"Well, you are a person with good intentions, but I still think you are too arrogant."
"Fang Xiang, people's learning ability is very strong and must not be underestimated."
"I have learned a lot from Lishan."
"And we can see from the changes in Lishan that knowledge can change the world."
Zhang Yang was talking to himself.
Pei Xingjian and Cen Wenwen walked into factories one after another, still discussing the production process.
During this period, Li Tai explained many of the principles that both of them had little understanding of.
There are three steam engines at the rear of the factory. The steam engines transmit power and drive the pull rods to stir the water slurry in dozens of wooden barrels.
Li Tai explained: "Lishan also weaved cloth in the past, but now we only provide cotton thread and ready-made velvet, and a lot of downstream production is given to other villages."
Cen Wenwen listened to the words and kept writing with the pen in his hand. Fortunately, there was ink in Lishan, so he couldn't remember a few pages.
Outside the factory, Ma Zhou brought a document and placed it in front of the housing minister and Zhang Yang.
The bottom of the document was padded with cloth and the paper was sewn onto the cloth.
Fang Xuanling sat down and asked: "Lishan copper?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, because we need to make more sophisticated firearms and equipment, we need to cast copper."
When Ma Zhou heard this, he recorded this passage in the scroll and wrote the word "casting copper" on the document's permission. With this document as a certificate, Lishan could justifiably cast copper.
It's just that it can't be used to cast copper coins, it can only be used to cast instruments and firearms.
There are two copies of the document, one is kept in the court for filing, and the other is kept in Lishan for future inquiries.
Fang Xuanling took the tea, put the tea bowl in his hands to warm his palms, and said: "Lishan can cast copper, but it needs a period of time, how about five years? Lishan can continue to cast copper within five years, but after five years
Years later, if Lishan wants to cast copper again, it will need permission from the Central Government."
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Five years is too short."
It takes at least one year to transport copper ore from the southwest to Guanzhong, and up to three round trips in five years.
Chao Zhong saw the crux of Lishan's problem. It was getting more and more difficult to deal with these old foxes.
Their eyes have always been vicious.
Fang Xuanling closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking. She stroked her beard with one hand and asked, "How many years do you think it should be?"
"Lishan wants the eternal right to cast copper."
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Lishan and Sheji have made great contributions. Your Majesty and the court can see it, so you can give this permission."
Ma Zhou obviously paused for a moment, and then recorded the conversation.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang."
Fang Xuanling added: "I'm just trying to see if this method can be used in other places. It seems to be very effective in restricting workshops in various places."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You don't have to worry, the permission given by the DPRK to Lishan is permanent and can be passed down from generation to generation. The country still needs Lishan, and the DPRK will not
Broken arm."
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said: "I hope that in the future, North Korea and Lishan can also communicate with each other like this."
Next, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Yang wrote several more documents, including cast iron, cloth, cotton and soap, giving them the right to purchase grain and brew again.
"It was originally agreed that Chaozhong and Lishan would jointly operate the brewery, and this operation still belongs to Chaozhong in name." Fang Xuanling emphasized: "Lishan can continue to brew, but nominally it belongs to Chaozhong."
Guanzhong wine has always been a hot commodity outside the Guanzhong, and it can produce a lot of benefits in the Hexi Corridor. Even if North Korea can only get 50% of it, it is still a huge amount of income.
When making wine in Lishan, the cost of a jar of wine is 30 yen. It can be sold in the market for 80 yen per jar and sold outside the customs for 300 yen per jar.
This is despite today's low food prices.
Zhang Yang nodded and continued to mark the document.
Not long after, Pei Xingjian and Cen Wenwen also came back.
"The house conditions are all recorded."
"Well, let's show it to the magistrate."
Zhang Yang took the dossier handed over by Cen Wenwen and looked at it carefully. It contained some production specifications.
Zhang Xingcheng also came back. He also handed over the file and said: "Xiang Xiang, this is what I got from the official inquiry. The villagers of Lishan can rest for seven days every month, and they are also allowed to rest during festivals. In addition, if there are
For urgent fortifications, extra money will be given."
Fang Xuanling looked at it carefully, and at a glance he felt that Lishan's production tasks were still very heavy. He worked for three to four hours a day. Although he took a break in the middle, he could sleep, eat, and live alone.
I only have three or four hours to spare.
"It seems that Lishan is going to be scolded again." Fang Xuanling said seriously.
“What does house sign mean?”
"Your Majesty has been lax in corvee and underpaying taxes since he came to the throne, but now the vast majority of Confucian scholars still believe in Huang-Lao's theory. You also know what Huang-Lao's theory says, right?"
Huang-Lao School emerged in the early Han Dynasty and became the most important school of thought in all dynasties.
After the contention of various schools of thought ended, Huang-Lao's school began to flourish.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yang had some feelings. At that time, Huang Lao's "Lie Ping" theory was very avant-garde. It called on everyone in the world, including the emperor, to focus on Huang Lao's quietness and inaction, rest with the people, and govern with dignity.
Huang Laozhi learned that later generations would focus more on personal influence, which is to treat the body.
But Huang-Lao's learning also caused some disasters, such as the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty, when the granaries were full, the copper coins in the treasury were too much to be used up, the ropes used to thread the money were rotten, and the money was too much to be counted.
This is not a good thing for a centralized society. It will reduce the court's control over the local area and create a wealthy family.
The laissez-faire economy has gradually worsened the inequality between the rich and the poor, leading to powerful and foreign aggression and the endangerment of social peace due to the laissez-faire national policy.
Faced with the Prime Minister's question, Zhang Yang replied: "Lishan has been burdened with enough infamy. I believe that the DPRK will choose the right direction."
"Um."
Fang Xuanling nodded, indicating that he was pertinent.
Zhang Yang added: "If the court no longer makes progress, Lishan will supervise it. If the world is about to destroy itself, then Lishan will save the world. This has always been our ambition at Lishan."
Li Chengqian listened to these words with gloomy eyes and stared at the county prince, feeling excited and envious in his heart.
I envy him for having such great ambitions. I think back to those years when he was in the East Palace, and also think about all the deeds and words I had with him back then.
Fang Xuanling packed up these files and documents.
After a long time, everyone stood up and completed what they were doing here.
Pei Xingjian saluted and said, "Teacher, I will take my leave now."
Zhang Yang warned: "You can come to Lishan for a walk when you have time."
"Disciple understands."
Pei Xingjian was a disciple of Lishan, and he also won Zhang Yang's trust.
Li Chengqian sat in the car on the way back, closing his eyes and thinking. His father knew Pei Xingjian's relationship with him, but he still wanted to hand over the position of Chang'an Order to this man.
Not to mention Pei Xingjian's ability, what Lishan is doing now has a lot to do with Jingzhao Mansion.
What if Pei Xingjian and Li Shanli Yingwai cooperate?
Or maybe my father had the idea of playing hard to get?
The curtain of the carriage moved with the wind, and Li Chengqian saw Pei Xingjian's figure.
Lishan handed over taxes and production licenses, all of which were facilitated by Pei Xingjian.
Li Chengqian closed his eyes in distress again. Zhang Yang was not a selfish person, and his father was not a very generous emperor.
Is it my father who is taking advantage of Lishan, or is Lishan taking advantage of his father?
The troublesome relationship between monarch and ministers, Li Chengqian felt that when Gu succeeded to the throne in the future, he would never let the relationship between monarch and ministers be as ambiguous as it is now.
In mid-January of the 14th year of Zhenguan, this year's holiday ended and the DPRK officially opened.
Another minister talked about the conferment of Zen on Mount Tai. As soon as he mentioned this matter, an urgent report from Xu Xiaode poured a basin of cold water on everyone's heads.
Last autumn, there was a rat infestation in Jianzhou, and due to this year's frost, the local state capital was in urgent need of food supplies.
After this year's snowstorm, floods occurred in Hebei, as expected and feared, and thousands of hectares of farmland were about to be destroyed.
It was not all smooth sailing in the Tang Dynasty. Various disasters were destroying the still weak agricultural economy of the Central Plains.
The Yellow River overflowed, the state capital was flooded, and Heyang was in trouble. The management of the Yellow River was urgent. Each problem was like a huge stone, hitting the heart of the Khan.
Li Shimin felt like his heart had been hit and he was so depressed.
As the decrees were issued one after another, officials were sent out to govern the place.
Under the auspices of Li Yue, Lishan donated 50,000 shi of grain to aid disaster-stricken areas in various states.
The Marquis of Lishan County is determined to build Guanzhong, but there is only one Marquis of Lishan County in this world.
Guanzhong has been in good weather in recent years. Except for the frost disaster in Longyou last autumn, Longyou would come to scratch Tian Khan's nerves from time to time, making Tian Khan angry and wanting to kill someone.
Li Yifu felt that Longyou's governance was so poor that he should kill several members of Longyou's clan.
The scene at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan was tense. The political machinery of the Tang Dynasty began to operate, and various government offices were once again busy.
Li Lizhi brought a group of younger brothers and sisters back to the palace to visit her father and mother.
Children are like this. If they stay in the palace all the time, the father and mother will be troubled. Once the children have been away from home for a long time, they will take care of them in every possible way.
As soon as these children arrived at the palace, the queen arranged a sumptuous meal, and each child received silk and satin, as well as rare treasures from various places.
Dongyang holds a pair of antlers.
Qinghe held a string of silver beads.
The Li Zheng Hall became lively again and regained its vitality.
Empress Changsun arranged Li Lizhi's bun, "Why does she look more and more like a boy after going to Lishan Mountain?"
Li Lizhi explained in a warm voice: "Mother, there are not so many restrictions in Lishan. My daughter is used to doing whatever she wants."
Empress Changsun kept nodding her head and said: "The children have grown up, but they don't seem to have grown up."
The princess and the princes finally returned to the palace. The queen should be happy. The maids on the side still kept sighing when they looked at the queen.
"Your father has been very busy recently. I'm afraid he can't come to visit you today. Please spend more time in the palace."
