Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 773 Veteran Congratulations to Your Majesty
Yeluchun's deeds were like a thunderclap, which resounded in Yidu City, startling countless people.

He actually handed over the cornucopia, what was this man thinking?

As soon as cashmere came out, it attracted the envy of countless pairs of eyes. It is like cotton cloth, which contains infinite benefits.

It is a great achievement, let His Majesty the emperor personally say "this is a great achievement", although outsiders don't understand the inside story, what does it matter?As long as you know what it represents and how extraordinary it is.

Now Yeluchun actually gave up and took the initiative to break up with him?

"Is this guy out of his mind?" Countless people asked the same question at the same time.

They couldn't understand Yeluchun's difficulties, but only saw that Yeluchun had "status and status". Compared with merchants and ordinary people, Yeluchun's capital was already strong enough.Although the benefits of blending cashmere and cotton wool are huge, it is impossible for them to eat alone, but they can definitely take a piece of profit, right?
Just like what Emperor Lu thought before, Dalibo's face is on the line.Many people think that Emperor Lu doesn't look at other things, and even Dalibo can't look at Yeluchun at a disadvantage!

But soon, the news of Yelu Zonglei's official appointment spread, and the officials and people in Yidu City suddenly realized that they thought they understood.

Using a "cornucopia" in exchange for a grandson's opportunity to become an official a few years ago, if it is purely from the perspective of "transaction", it is naturally a loss-making transaction.But everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor is a benevolent one. Could it be possible that he would really see Yelu's family suffer?
As long as the Emperor Lao Tzu remembers your kindness, this is the true kindness of Yeluchun's school.

Emperor Lu didn't care about all the disturbances from the outside world. The time was approaching the end of the year. The Jurchens in the north and Zhao Song in the southwest all sent envoys to see him. The news reached Yidu. They haven't arrived in Yidu yet.

Internally, all levels of government and large and small government offices are already finishing up and summarizing the work of the year. Only the old man, who is the emperor, is very leisurely during this time.

Doesn't Lu Qian hate leisure and enjoyment? Now he has learned to enjoy life.Although in this technologically backward world, electronic products and the spirit of entertainment are far from being comparable to those of later generations, but as a top-notch person, there is never a lack of means of entertainment and relaxation.

Tired of singing and dancing, there are juggling and storytelling, sumo wrestling, and playing mahjong. If you don’t want to go to the school grounds to race horses, there are more than ten famous horses in the current imperial horse prison.

Emperor Lu couldn't play those elegant games, such as playing chess, poetry, poetry and so on.

I also don't like watching operas, even though the picture books are all written according to his instructions, compared to the traditional gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, and the number one scholar in the poor family, the brothel oiran has a good eye for the hero, and then the poor family's number one scholar marries everyone The young lady, the cowardly and rich brothel oiran has become a concubine's dog-blooded happiness, and that kind of weird values ​​​​have taken on a new look.But Emperor Lu was still unwilling to take a look.

This kind of opera that he encouraged was actually a modified version of the Zaju + singing songs of the Song Dynasty. Although it was very popular with the natives of this time and space, Emperor Lu thought it was so awkward.

He would rather listen to people tell stories.

The Publishing Bureau of the Internal Affairs Office has dozens of people, all of whom are extraordinary writers, who come here to write court picture books and novels for Emperor Lu.It's really hard to get this kind of treatment in future generations even if you have money.

In addition to the above, Emperor Lu is now learning how to boil the eagle.Although there are no hunting grounds around Yidu, he has not gone mad.

Whether it's bending a bow and setting an arrow, or playing a game of polo... Emperor Lu's invincible skills can only be displayed on the polo field.

What's more, there are beauties in the harem and a few little radish heads.Even if there are no landscape gardens, no gorgeous or ingenious gardens for his heart, Emperor Lu still has enough days.

Occasionally, when he got interested, he would go out for a stroll around the palace with others.

Therefore, as long as you have money and power, you can live comfortably at any time.

If there is no heating in winter, you can use earth dragons to keep warm.There are fire passages in the underground of the palace. The fire passages have holes in the ground, and the fire is burned outside. The hot air is transmitted to the house through the fire passages, and there are special smoke exhaust measures, which are called earth dragons.It gave Emperor Lu the feeling that it was no worse than heating.

There is no air-conditioning in summer, and there are water taps to relieve the heat.This is an 'invention' played by the ancestors of Li Tang. Like the earth dragon, it is named by Emperor Lu, and it is also the method that Emperor Lu came up with.He was flipping through the travel notes of miscellaneous essays that day, and saw interesting events recorded in the Tang Dynasty.At that time, the nobles often built cool halls near the riverside and lake. In the midsummer, water was introduced into the underground passage in the hall, and water wheels or other mechanical transmission equipment drove the circulation of cooling, and then equipped with rotating wheel fans to send cold air into the hall. What a breeze.There are poems to prove it: a graceful and graceful girl from Taiwan, and a cool palace of games.

Therefore, there are water dragons in the Forbidden City.

Below the palace, not only are there buried smoke exhaust channels, but there are also a large number of copper pipes.When the sun is hot, the animal-drawn waterwheel extracts cold water from the well and sends it to a special water tower. After the valve is opened, the cold water enters the copper pipe and is discharged into the cistern in the palace.In this process, no matter how much heat in the house is taken away, it feels more comfortable than an air conditioner!The amount of ice used in summer has been reduced by a long line!

While living a more comfortable life, it also took the opportunity to add two new economic hotspots to the two industrial parks in the east and west of Yidu.

Emperor Lu's enjoyment is a weather vane in Yidu City. Whether it is an earth dragon or a water dragon that just appeared this year, once it is released, it attracts countless pairs of eyes like the cashmere.

The nobles all over the city hope that they can follow the example of the emperor and follow the emperor's footsteps.Like the earlier crystal glass pieces.

But so many nobles are crowded to ask for goods at one time, how can it be done.Whether it is the workers who lay the water taps or the copper pipes needed for construction, they are all limited and need special characteristics according to the size of the room. Even the water tower and the animal-drawn water pump also need the guidance of specialized technical personnel.The whole matter didn't come to an end until August, when the weather turned cold.

But in September, Emperor Lu only looked at the new output value of the Zishui and Mishui industrial parks, and smiled without saying a word.

Since June, the number of workshops and workshops in the two industrial parks has increased significantly compared to the gains in the previous months.

Because of the appearance of water dragons.The upsurge in Yidu City made businessmen clearly see an opportunity to make money.From the iron pipes and valves required for the water tower, to the copper pipes required for the water dragon, and the large and small parts involved in the animal-powered water wheel, these are the focus of the new workshop.And it can be clearly seen that the newly added workshops and workshops have more single and finer products.

The so-called animal-powered waterwheel workshop, let alone an animal-powered waterwheel assembly point.This is very similar to the carriage factory set up by the Office of Internal Affairs.

In name, it is a place for the production of carriages, but in fact it is an assembly place, because the large and small parts inside the carriage, and even the boards of the carriage, are all outsourced by the Internal Affairs Office.

This new production model directly stimulated the emergence of a large number of small workshops and even family workshops in the two industrial parks.

And the current water dragon is a new economic stimulus point.

Emperor Lu was in an excellent mood throughout the summer.

The development of industry really needs good returns and a relaxed political environment, and occasionally one or two fresh economic stimulus points can really play a big role.

The water dragons that have been bustling the whole summer prove this point.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the first batch of members of the Jockey Club was announced, which already attracted countless wealthy businessmen and businessmen to gather in Yidu, and it coincided with the Manichaeism going south.Fang La's direct transshipment envoy placed a large order worth 200 million guan.From linen, raw silk, needles and threads, to metal products such as iron pots, iron spoons, kitchen knives, axes, etc., to nails, iron brazing, and even large iron ingots and spinning wheels and looms...

These are utensils to be used in daily life, utensils that people cannot live without.Such a large order directly added a fire to the already bustling Yidu business community.

Then came the establishment of the Ming Principality, which would be a good way for those who had no choice but to study.Even more so for businessmen.

Think about it, the millions of people from the Manichaeism went south, plus the indigenous people they had conquered, what a huge new market this is.

And this is only one of the four feudal clans.

Fang La's incident caused turmoil in the entire Central Plains, and it also made many aboriginal kingdoms in Nanyang feel disappointed. The reason is that there are three powerful vassals like him.

Does that mean that Emperor Lu still needs to find three places to house them?One in the north and two in the south?

And when the San Francisco feudalized the state and established the country, did they also want to take away a large number of soldiers and civilians like Fang La?No matter where it is distributed, it is a huge emerging market.

When the Horse Club cooperates with feudal vassal and nation building, the power of the explosion is definitely 1+1>2.

Not to mention, Lu Qian already has credible information showing that his big plan is no longer a secret.In other words, the heroes of Daqi are already in the process of further cooperation with merchant forces.Perhaps the identities of the Kong family members are already an open secret, and it cannot be guaranteed.

But ignore that.

The "function" of the Confucian family was not intended to be exerted on those merchants, and even its target was not those scholars, but only the general public.

Whether in modern times or in ancient times, businessmen can trample on everything for profit, which is not uncommon at all.

Otherwise, how could the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty appear?That is the eternal shame of Shanxi merchants.And the "Toshiba incident" that broke out in 87 also shocked the whole world, didn't it?

The same is true for scholars. No matter at this time, or 500 years after the first 500 years, Confucius is always just a signboard they hold.In the face of the power of the sword, scholars have never been successful.

On the contrary, those ordinary people, the values ​​in their hearts are what truly determine the destiny of a country.

Emperor Lu made a fuss about the Kong family in order to break certain concepts in the hearts of the common people. The 160-year rule of Zhao and Song Dynasty was quite short, but it had already imprinted his own mark on the Chinese nation. Emperor Lu needed to put it thoroughly destroyed.In the hearts of the common people, this group with the largest population base in China, engraved their own will.

Because ordinary people, who make up the vast majority of the population, have the most direct impact on China's new generation.

It is very important whether it is "everything is cheap, but reading is high", or "a good man has ambitions everywhere".

Now that the time has come to the end of the year, Emperor Lu has not yet obtained the national statistics. In this era, it is not easy to do a good job of this statistics.

However, he has the exact data of the two major factories and workshops in the capital, as well as a detailed survey of the changes in the handicraft industry in Jinan and Jeju.

"The year-on-year asset growth of the three places is more than [-]%. The old minister congratulates His Majesty." Zong Ze is still the unshakable chief minister of the cabinet. Unambiguous.

Therefore, his position as chief assistant has always been firm and unshakable.

In his opinion, many of Emperor Lu's plans were too childish, even frivolous.Unlike Emperor Lu's favorite frontal crushing when he was fighting, he found another way, using a slanted sword.

However, facts speak louder than words.Data from Yidu, Jinan, and Jeju are already showing that the emperor’s idea was not wrong.

In fact, this is also the torrential trend of history.

The guild halls in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the folk associations of later generations, and the private clubs, aren't they the low-end version of the Jockey Club today?People need to communicate.

The Jockey Club provides this platform, and when it is combined with "Feng Fan Jian Guo", the power it explodes is enormous.Now, this force has just emerged, and it is far from entering its heyday, but it has achieved gratifying results.

"Lin Weng, are you still worried now?" Lu Qian smiled. The exact data and detailed investigation reports of the three places not only include the cumulative amount of new money invested in the workshops in the three places, but also the year-on-year comparison with previous years. growth rate.There are also their gross production value, sources of raw materials, labor income, net interest income of workshop owners, taxes paid, as well as the number of workers and their salary levels.

In Zongze's mind, the Central Plains is huge but there are countless people who have lost their land. What China always lacks is land, not manpower.He still can't see the scene where industry and commerce compete with fields for labor in the future.

In his view, business and industry pursue profit, even if it violates the holy way, it can absorb the power of wealthy people, which is great profit.And people can benefit from it.

There are more than 2 craftsmen in Nayidu [Two Industrial Zones]. From weavers, cobblers, bamboo craftsmen, shoemakers, to carpenters, blacksmiths, and coppersmiths, everyone earns a lot of money.At least in a place as difficult as Yidu and able to support their families, if there are dozens of places in such a place, wouldn't it be possible for more than a million households to have no worries about food and clothing?

What Zong Ze was most worried about was that the merchants had no benevolence, that is to say, he was worried that the merchants would squeeze the workers desperately, telling the latter to work more than cows but eat less than chickens.

Zong Ze, who has no idea how cruel the development of industry and commerce will be, and how much manpower will be taken away in the development of industry and commerce, Zongze can only feel joy at this moment.

Lu Qian felt hehe in his heart.If businessmen can restrain their inner greed and always hire workers with a relatively high salary, then there will be ghosts.

When the British ruled the world in later generations, the ghosts of maid and child laborers floated on the Thames River.It's not just the textile workers in Mumbai who are miserable. The capitalists who earn money and don't recognize their relatives are also ruthless to the people of their own country.

As a time traveler, how did Emperor Lu not know that "every pore of Capital's body has been bleeding with blood and dirty things since he came to this world".But the ideal of life is not to be the Emperor Lu who only dominates the three-acre land in East Asia. He not only wants to conquer Central Asia and India, but also wants to involve the sky, and even hopes to immigrate to the Americas in small batches in a few decades.All these plans require a super strong national power to support, and it may be difficult to support only one farming China.What's more, Emperor Lu hopes to wipe out the scourge that has humiliated China in official history for China...

After more than 1000 years of development, the advanced nature of Confucianism itself has been exhausted in the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Just like the peak, you reached the peak of your life yesterday, but today you are already going downhill.

It cannot be said that the ideas of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty have no merits at all. It is the guarantee of a true sage, which is too high, and it is really difficult for the living people in the world of mortals to achieve it.Is the so-called Zhu Zi's case of picking up ashes, accusing Yan Rui, playing with nuns, etc. all false accusations?You must know that the wind will come when there is a hole.

As a guiding ideology for governing the country, tens of thousands of officials themselves are not up to the standard, and then use this guiding ideology to govern the entire country.
Therefore, Emperor Lu resolutely got rid of Song Confucianism, shoveled away Confucianism, vigorously developed industry and commerce, and vigorously colonized foreign countries. He himself did not know what China would look like hundreds of years later. In what direction will history go?But he just did it.And the effect looks good now.

The rapid expansion of the territory has diluted the population density of China. Now Fang La is the only one who founded the country. They will all wave the banner to the Central Plains to attract immigrants.

At that time, ten or twenty mu per capita could not be sold.There is no one hundred acres per person, or even unlimited land. You only need to cultivate it for three to five years and it will be your family's slogan. You are embarrassed to recruit immigrants.

This will greatly absorb China's remaining population and create fierce competition with emerging industries and businesses.At that time, if the owners of domestic workshops and factories do not follow up with the improvement of workers' treatment, why should they retain workers?And the current land lease system can guarantee people's livelihood to some extent. If working is not more profitable than farming, why would they want people to leave the fields?The surplus labor force of the people is always exhausted.

The current situation in China is completely different from that of John Bull, or that of our Republic of China.In addition to selling their own labor power and working as cows and horses for the capitalists, they still have two options: farming for food and emigrating overseas.If there is room, it will naturally make the capital use its own claws.

At that time, the 'market economy', the two will reach a balance in countless trials and confrontations.

"Your Majesty, Li Dao, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, seeks an audience!"

Zong Ze went back happily, Emperor Lu drank a cup of tea, and then see the following.
