The slogans are shouted loudly and the New Deal is implemented with bells and whistles, but what everyone still wants to see is the results. Therefore, it is naturally not suitable to work part-time in workshops or shops. Earn some money and exchange for more things, and you will not be able to protect everything one day.
The big man was beaten back by the Xianbei people.
For a long time, under the banner of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Xianbei people, the Chinese people in the north did not have much trust in the Han people from the south, even if they all had similar looks and spoke the same language.
Li Xingchen could also understand this. After all, the true Han people and Chinese national consciousness could not be formed until the prosperous Tang Dynasty in history. People regarded themselves as Tang people. Later, with the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to move from openness to closure.
The contradictions between Yi and Yi naturally became more acute, which also indirectly promoted the transformation of Yanhuang Huaxia from a general geographical term into a synonym for a nation.
Therefore, for the Han people of this era, there is no difference between the dynasties from the south and the dynasties from the north. What they need is not the sense of belonging derived from the inheritance of blood, but a sense of security and being able to have enough food and clothing.
Therefore, Li Xingchen's task for Huang Qi was to increase trade between the north, south, and east and west as soon as possible. Now the Han Dynasty has established a complete trade network in Jiangnan, Guanzhong and other places, with banks as the support point and the market as the tentacles.
Extending gradually to the grassroots level, now such a network must be rolled out in the north as soon as possible to solve the chaotic situation in which most of the markets in the north are spontaneously formed due to the passing of the army during the Northern Expedition, and to integrate the entire northern trade network into the Han Dynasty.
Under the control of the imperial court.
At the same time, it is also necessary to use the trade network to allow goods from all over the Han Dynasty to quickly enter the blank market in the north. Of course, it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a blank market. After all, the Han Dynasty has been thinking of ways to bring the southern market to the northern market through trade with the north.
Commodities affect the market in the north, but in the end it is still operated on the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so even if it has an impact, it only affects some large and medium-sized towns. When it goes to the grassroots towns, no one will know about it, and in the very urbanized
In this low era, countless villages at the grassroots level are the main body, and most of the markets in these places are blank.
Through these commodities, the Han Dynasty can quickly cultivate the people's dependence on the Han Dynasty's trade network. Once this dependence is formed, the people will be like nodes attached to the Internet, or to put it more unpleasantly, they are prey. If they want to escape, they will
It's not that easy anymore. In order to maintain such a network and such order, when the enemy comes, these people will definitely fight to protect the Han.
Imagine if there was nothing in supermarkets except local specialties in future generations. It would be strange if people didn't work hard.
In fact, Li Xingchen complained that what he did felt a bit like economic colonization, but anyway, he was doing it to his own people, and he did not want to harm them.
"Maintain commodity prices, and now the military rations are enough to last until the Yuan Dynasty," Li Xingchen warned Huang Qi, "so the tributaries of the Huai River such as Ying River, Ru River and Wo River can be used to transport goods from the south, but we must use a good sense of proportion.
"
Since there is a market, there are prices.
Too frequent price fluctuations are naturally not conducive to market stability and will also make people lose confidence in it.
Huang Qi is no longer an idiot. He has been in charge of trade in Guanzhong for such a long time. Although he has made mistakes, his experience has become more and more abundant. Li Xingchen believes that he will not make such low-level mistakes again, but he still needs to emphasize it again.
Now Li Xinchen's every policy towards the north may affect whether the Han Dynasty can gain a foothold in the north, so he does not dare to relax at all.
"I obey your decree!" Huang Qi responded hurriedly.
And Li Xingchen looked at Li Delin, the Minister of Rites, who was also an old minister from the north. Although he was the Minister of Rites, he was actually responsible for everything related to the Ministry of Rites in Chang'an. There was no relationship between Mr. Jiang and him.
Rather than being superiors and subordinates, it is better to say that they are colleagues and partners. This time Li Delin was supposed to go to Jiankang Mansion to report on his duties, but on the way, the Han Dynasty started the Northern Expedition, so he joined Li Xinchen and took charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
In this way, the court would not need to redeploy officials from the Ministry of Rites, and secondly, it would also be able to complete the task of reporting on his duties, killing two birds with one stone.
"The great victory of Luoyang must be announced to the world as soon as possible. In addition, we must strengthen the propaganda of the Han Dynasty's new policies, whether it is the imperial examination system, the Han Dynasty law or commerce, so that the people in the north understand these concepts as soon as possible." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
With the development of printing technology, newspapers have become a good channel for the court to publicize policies. However, although newspapers are good, they have a shortcoming, that is, they always require people to be able to read. In troubled times, the illiteracy rate is so high.
, which inherently limits the spread of newspapers to a certain extent.
Over the years, the establishment of free schools, academies, etc. in the South of the Han Dynasty and the emergence of reclusive celebrities have solved this problem to a large extent, especially in some workshops and shops, etc., which have their own needs for workers and clerks to read.
It is to actively respond to the call of the court and organize night classes. However, in the north, there is naturally no such basic condition. Although free schools and academies have begun to be constructed in an orderly manner, after all, they are just getting started. Most of the people are fighting in this war.
After being displaced for so many years, literacy was naturally out of the question.
To control public opinion, establish the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty and promote the Han Dynasty as the master of the world and the destiny of the world, it is correct to rely solely on traditional newspapers. This guy has developed in the south for so many years, and it is indeed a relatively traditional method, especially
Compared with emerging dramas, storytelling, etc., I'm afraid it's still far from enough.
"Whether we can control public opinion is also a fierce battle. I need the Ministry of Rites to come up with a practical plan within two days," Li Xingchen said directly, "Is it possible?"
Li Delin already had a draft in mind, but he still needed to discuss it with his subordinate officials and cooperate with other departments, so two days was more than enough: "I think it's okay, your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Li Xinchen nodded slightly. Although Mr. Jiang is the Minister of Rites, one level higher than the Minister, Li Xinchen has to say that in addition to being loyal, this guy has many people who want his head, so he is a very good barking dog.
Apart from that, there is indeed a big gap in ability. After all, this is a sycophantic villain. It would be a bit of a fantasy to really expect him to be able to do anything big.
This kind of thing still depends on Li Delin's practical talents.
In fact, this is not a very difficult problem to solve. Drama is a good choice. Historically, drama really began to appear on the stage after the Sui and Tang Dynasties and reached its heyday in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In fact, it was similar to the movies of later generations.
