Zhang Qingqing and his grandfather Tian Khan were walking in the palace, looking at the buildings here.
Li Shimin is nearly fifty, but he still stands tall and straight.
The words and deeds of this Heavenly Khan always have the majesty revealed quietly, which makes the palace people and guards along the way bow their heads to pay homage.
It's like a paradise that has stopped changing.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said: "Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, this place has not changed. It is still the same."
"The world outside is changing, and there should be changes here too."
My granddaughter has a very beautiful voice, and I feel very comfortable listening to her talk.
After stepping down from the position of emperor, Zhang Qingqing no longer had any prejudice against his grandfather.
After settling the old feud, Li Shimin loved his granddaughter very much. She was very smart and sensible.
She is different from other children.
For example, children like Li Xiang and Li Shen follow the rules and are polite, but these children lack some agility, the courage to question and ask questions without relying on others.
At Zhang Qingqing's current age, these qualities are even more dazzling in her.
Walking from Taiji Hall to Taiye Pond, Zhang Qingqing took a look around the palace and asked, "Grandpa, if you want to renovate the palace, it must be a big project."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "What? Do you want to rebuild this place?"
Zhang Qingqing replied: "Before my great-grandfather passed away, he told me many bad things about the palace. The palace of the Tang Dynasty is the most noble place in the world. It needs to change and become more magnificent.
.”
"Magnificent?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "Lishan has windows made of colored glaze and a greenhouse made of hot spring pools. Isn't that magnificent enough?"
"Actually, Lishan is not wealthy at all."
The palace servants followed at a distance, not daring to disturb the Heavenly Khan. They were also very curious about the little girl wearing a green shirt standing next to the Heavenly Khan.
This little girl's conversation seemed extraordinary. She didn't bend down or lower her head when standing next to Tian Khan, as if she had a sense of arrogance about her.
Zhang Qingqing added: "If the renovation of the palace can be handed over to Lishan, Lishan will definitely make it the most prosperous place."
"You are exactly like your father, you dare to discuss business with me."
"Does grandpa think this palace does not need to be renovated?"
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said: "That's why you are wrong. The palace does not necessarily have to be rich and noble. The emperor needs to set an example. If the emperor is extravagant, people in the world will be extravagant. This is not good."
Zhang Qingqing said: "Then the construction should be simpler and the construction should be more grand."
If Zhang Yang said such a thing, Li Shimin would definitely reject it, but when it came from his granddaughter's mouth, it was hard to refuse.
Li Shimin continued: "Don't you Lishan like to plan everything three to five years in advance?"
Zhang Qingqing nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Then come up with a plan for me first. If the plan is feasible, I can let you rebuild it. I believe Chengqian will agree to it."
After walking around the palace, I felt that it was nothing interesting.
Zhang Qingqing walked out of the palace with her grandfather in low spirits.
In the Xingqing Hall, Li Chengqian placed a memorial on the table and whispered: "Look, someone is slandering me now and asking me to go to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk."
Cen Wenwen replied: "Now the achievements of the Tang Dynasty are indeed enough to enshrine Mount Tai."
Li Chengqian said with a solemn face: "My father didn't even say that he would become a Zen disciple, how dare I?"
This emperor is like this. He wants to do his best in everything. He is eager for quick success but dare not neglect. He treats his ministers harshly and does not allow anyone to act with any dignity.
Li Chengqian whispered: "How do you like the good prescription?"
"Back to Your Majesty." Cen Wenwen saluted and said: "The Ministry of Education is already discussing it. I have seen that silver and gold are used to stabilize the value of copper coins. Few people in the DPRK have come into contact with this kind of knowledge. The little princess of Lishan sent
The medicine that comes is hard to understand."
"In your opinion, can this remedy alleviate the current situation?"
"OK."
"Well, you must thoroughly understand this good recipe."
"Here."
The emperor issued the decree, and everyone in Zhongshu Province worked all night to discuss it. Because the prescription given by Lishan did not have a complete framework, the DPRK and the Central Committee discussed it for a long time.
Until late at night, Xu Jingzong and Cen Wenwen walked out of Chengtianmen.
Cen Wenwen relaxed his back and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that little princess from Lishan to come to Tai Chi Hall."
Xu Jingzong said: "Yes, I used to see her as just a little girl, but I didn't expect that she would grow so tall."
Seeing that he still looked a little pained, Xu Jingzong said quickly: "Come on, let's support each other."
Cen Wenwen sighed and said, "Oh, that's fine."
Two elderly middle-aged ministers were back to back, their wrists intertwined. Xu Jingzong bent down to support Cen Wenwen's back, and his back and lumbar spine suddenly made a clicking sound.
Now it was Cen Wenwen's turn. He bent down and supported Xu Jingzong's back.
"Brother Wenwen, please slow down, I have some pain in my back."
Cen Wenwen nodded.
Under the moonlight, the two of them just relaxed their backs, and it took a while before they felt more comfortable.
Continuing walking together, Xu Jingzong suddenly asked: "How is your neck?"
Now that his back is more comfortable, Cen Wenwen rubbed his strength and said, "Oh, I don't know how many years and months this pain lasted."
Xu Jingzong said: "I still have a few chairs at home, and the neck cushions are made by Lishan. I will send you some next time. They are not valuable items."
Cen Wenwen nodded, "That's fine."
Xu Jingzong added: "Lishan Medical Center has developed a technique for massaging the lower back. All the veteran generals in the court have tried it, and it is quite good."
Cen Wenwen smiled and said: "It's time to take a bath anyway, so you might as well give it a try."
The two walked and chatted all the way.
We parted outside the Zhuque Gate and each returned home.
When the morning light came out the next day, it was also time to take a rest in the court.
Many officials breathed a sigh of relief. The current emperor has strict requirements on his ministers. This year, everyone has been under great pressure.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since the Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, private minting and abuse of copper coins have been common, and sometimes copper coins are even worthless.
So Lishan gave a good solution.
The prescription of gold standard and silver standard is just an idea for the court, and the Marquis of Lishan County wrote it very vaguely.
The composition of this money system is too complicated. Zhang Yang felt that as a model worker in science and engineering, it was too difficult for him to understand this knowledge thoroughly, so he only wrote about it briefly.
As for how far Chao Zhong can understand it, it all depends on them.
The next day, Xu Jingzong woke up very early, and as soon as he opened the door of his house, he saw Di Renjie standing in the snow.
"You're back?"
"Yes, the boy is back." Di Renjie smiled and saluted.
Xu Jingzong nodded and let him in, "Have you gone to see your father?"
Di Renjie replied: "I told him about the preparations for the imperial examination at my father's house last night."
Xu Jingzong suddenly came to his senses and said again: "It turns out that you are old enough to take part in the imperial examination."
Xu Jingzong's wife walked out quickly, "Renjie, why didn't you knock on the door when you came?"
Di Renjie added: "Dad said that Xu Zhongcheng came back late at night after discussing with people in Zhongshu Province last night. I don't know when you will wake up. It is the bathing time, so I don't dare to disturb you. At dawn, he will be at the door
Waiting in front."
Xu Jingzong poured him a bowl of hot water to "dispel the cold."
"Thank you, Xu Zhongcheng."
Xu Jingzong asked again: "Did you learn a lot during your trip?"
"Well, I went to the Hexi Corridor. I wanted to go to Suiye City, but I didn't go because it was far away. Then I went to the Jiangnan boundary and went to sea. I saw the vast sea. The steam engine ship is very suitable. I will definitely go there in the future.
More people went to the distant seas, and even went to Liaodong..."
Di Renjie told all about his travels in the past two years. Xu Jingzong listened carefully. When he heard about the situation of land annexation in Jiangnan, his face became a little solemn.
But when he heard him talk about Jin Chunqiu's ambition and his plan to kill the Japanese slaves, Xu Jingzong's face became more pertinent.
Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "The rule of the Tang Dynasty is very simple. If the foreign barbarians can obediently bow down and surrender, then of course they can. But if they want to cause chaos, just like Xue Yantuo did, they can just be destroyed. It is nothing to the Tang Dynasty."
These are all digressions, Xu Jingzong said: "What are your plans next?"
Di Renjie replied: "I plan to study hard in seclusion these days to prepare for the imperial examination next year, otherwise Liu Dewei, the Minister of Punishment, may not let me go."
Xu Jingzong said again: "You don't have to be afraid of Liu Dewei."
"I don't know what's going on, kid? I always feel like I'm going to be beaten to death by this guy."
After talking many more words with Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie left here and went to visit Zhang Jianzhi.
In the past two years, Zhang Jianzhi, a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, has gained some fame, especially because he called the gentry members a pig and a dog.
When Di Renjie arrived at Hongwen Hall, Zhang Jianzhi was still talking big words to the students here as always, and he couldn't help feeling melancholy. He was still the same after two years.
Walking into the Hongwen Hall, Di Renjie needed to check the files here to understand the various national policies of the Tang Dynasty.
Recently, the DPRK and China have begun to rectify the copper coin currency. They want to anchor the money to gold and silver to control the barbaric development of copper coins.
In the past, the Heavenly Khan controlled the world's soldiers and horses and opened up new territories.
The current emperor wants to control the world's money, food and taxes to stabilize the economic development of the Tang Dynasty.
Now the Hongwen Museum also has a lot of Lishan scrolls, and the imperial court gradually began to recognize Lishan's scholarship.
Especially this time, the introduction of the gold standard caused a stir in the government and the opposition.
And in this storm, how many people who cannot keep up with the changes of the times will be eliminated.
Lishan academics have always believed in learning and living to grow old.
The same is true now in the imperial court. If the officials in the imperial court stop studying and do not keep up with the current national policies, they will also fall behind in their thinking and be eliminated in the monthly examinations.
When we left Chang'an City, it was still fine here.
After two years of absence, when Di Renjie came back again, he discovered that earth-shaking changes had taken place here.
The various national policies formulated by Li Chengqian are dizzying just looking at them.
Di Renjie began a life of studying hard again. Every time he read in Hongwen Hall, his hands and feet would get cold from the cold.
The days of this kind of hard study pass quickly, and the world changes day and night.
Unconsciously, the New Year has passed and it is already a new year in the Tang Dynasty.
This year, the DPRK announced a news, which was like a huge stone falling into a calm lake.
The government and the opposition began to discuss again.
This news is precisely because Lishan gave North Korea a solution to its dilemma, and North Korea wanted to open a money bank.
This money bank is a newly established official residence, which is the emperor's means of controlling money, food and taxes in the world.
The emperor centralized power again and again, from censorship to now opening money banks.
The centralization of power in Li Chengqian's hands has reached an unprecedented level.
This new emperor had only been on the throne for a year, and his centralization of power had already reached its peak. This was something that no Khan had ever done before.
It is also something that emperors of all dynasties have not dared to do.
Li Chengqian stood at the pinnacle of imperial power, and his power reached the highest level since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, surpassing the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the pre-Sui Dynasty.
As the production and trade in Guanzhong develop more and more rapidly, it is inevitable that Datang will have a money crisis.
For Lishan, this kind of thing is bound to happen, it's just a matter of time.
And Lishan dealt with it very calmly. As early as the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Lishan began to hoard silver and gold and spent a lot of copper coins.
And Lishan has always maintained its position as the richest in Guanzhong.
Counties in Guanzhong have also smelled the smell early. They have reduced the outflow of silver cakes since last year, and except for bulk goods, they do not use silver cakes if they can.
Before the monetary system of the Tang Dynasty had a complete structure, this depreciation of copper coins would continue.
This is a necessary process. In the past, a bucket of rice only cost 4 yen, but now it has increased to 8 yen.
Prices began to rise and copper coins began to depreciate.
For the DPRK and China, their time is very tight, and they must come up with a practical charter for the coming DPRK next year.
This is also the reason why Li Chengqian was eager to announce the news of opening a money bank during Xiu Mu period.
Compared with Chaozhong Lishan, Guanzhong's response was much calmer.
The embankment of the Yellow River north of Tongguan. Pei Yan can no longer remember how many times he came to inspect the Yellow River.
It is urgent to build dams and carry out projects to contain water and flush sand.
Controlling the Yellow River is the top priority of Taifu Temple. Pei Yan took over such a major fortification right after he took office as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.
If this fortification can be successful, great achievements will be made in regulating the Yellow River.
Normally, a dam is a wall, a flat wall. In many people's minds, this is what a dam should be.
But the dam designed by Pei Yan is tortuous, and this kind of tortuous dam is more suitable for the management of the Yellow River.
Ordinary dams can control the water level from being too high without reducing the water flow, and increase the flow rate of the water. This is a change in the water level on both sides of the dam, reducing the water circulation area, resulting in a reduction in kinetic energy and an increase in potential energy.
principle to avoid causing flooding.
This is the dam that Lishan has tried for many years and initially set up. This is a zigzag and zigzag dam, which is used to maintain the water level in the upper reaches and to control the water flow in the lower reaches.
