Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 130

Qin Chao and Cheng Chumo occasionally took Niu Jianhu to squat in the backyard of Cheng's house, constantly studying the formula for making cement.

During these days, Cheng Chumo seemed to have become a curious baby. He would ask all the questions here and there.

After Niu Jianhu stayed for two days, he felt bored and ran away from Cheng's house.

"Da Lang, the imperial court has allocated Yong'an Square to us, what should we do next?" Looking at the cement block on the ground that could be cracked with a hammer, Cheng Yaojin obviously didn't have much interest in it.

"Hire someone to tear down all the buildings in the workshop, and then transport the materials out of the city. Also, please ask Uncle Cheng to find me a list. The boy just happens to divide the shares these few days." Qin Chao put down his work and said .

"Okay, what about that, Da Lang, can you give me more shares?" Cheng Yaojin asked tentatively. There were too many people, and the shares received could not be divided into any large amounts. Cheng Yaojin could only use this method. He doesn't know whether it is possible to increase his own shares.

Qin Chao thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "It's okay to give more, but it won't be too much, otherwise it will be difficult for other shareholders to explain."

"As long as there are more than others." Cheng Yaojin chuckled, and continued: "I found the matchmaker yesterday, and I plan to go to Wang's house today to make a marriage proposal for Da Lang."

"Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness..." Qin Chao was faintly agitated. Although he was very awkward, he just couldn't control his agitation.

……

"Your Majesty, this move is very inappropriate. During the late Sui Dynasty, wars frequently occurred in Henan, and the people were displaced and their lives were devastated. Although the Henan area seems to be stable, it has never been heard of, and the people are terrified. However, Henan is also our Great Tang Dynasty. One of the important granaries, I believe that this time the drilling of wells should be carried out in Henan first, and then in Guanzhong and other places." Wei Zheng said bluntly.

The matter of drilling wells has basically been settled. The general supervisor is making every effort to manufacture well drilling equipment, and the manpower is mainly wounded and retired soldiers. At present, these people are using the equipment in their hands to learn.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and everything is going in a good direction. According to the imperial court's prediction, this latest type of hand-pressed wells will be drilled all over the country in at most three years. In ten years, the country's fertile land will be It can be turned into irrigation fields, but it can be supplemented with potatoes, and the Tang Dynasty has no natural disasters to fear.

However, things are good things, but there are also many controversial points.

For example, Changsun Wuji proposed that the Guanzhong region should be the main focus first, and gradually spread throughout the country.

After all, Guanzhong is the core area ruled by the Tang Dynasty. In addition, it has experienced wars not long ago, and it urgently needs the court's great appeasement. In terms of emotion and reason, Changsun Wuji's proposal is no problem, and this is exactly what Li Shimin meant.

For the imperial court, as long as there is no chaos in Guanzhong, there will be no chaos in the Tang Dynasty, or in other words, there will be no problems with Li Shimin's throne.

However, Wei Zheng put forward a different opinion, and the reasons are also impeccable.

"Your Majesty, I have different opinions. What Changsun Shangshu said is reasonable, and Wei Zuocheng is not unreasonable. I think that the imperial court should use Chang'an as the boundary, dig wells from Chang'an to the east, and then go out and go straight to Henan to save money. time, and at the same time, the newly-made equipment should be divided into four, and evenly distributed to the four directions of east, west, north, and south.” Zhongshu Ling Yuwen Shiji suggested that this is the most fair move, and it also solved Wei Zheng’s difficulty in persuading Li Shimin .

Yu Wenshiji was originally the younger brother of Yu Wenhuaji, and Yu Wenhuaji was the guy who killed Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, and was defeated and killed later.

The difference from Yu Wenhuaji is that Yu Wenshi joined Li Tang as early as the place where Li Yuan raised his troops, and fought with Li Er in the world. After Xuanwu Gate, he was appointed as Prince Zhan Shi, and Li Er became Zhongshuling after he ascended the throne.This person is the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, but he is also closer to Li Er, so he can have a seat in the court.

On the contrary, Pei Ji, the emperor's favored minister, although he is still very beautiful on the surface and has been granted the title of food town, is the enemy in Li Er's heart. Who made that guy get closer to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng in the early years?Li Yuan tried to make Li Er the prince several times out of the blue, but was disturbed by Pei Ji in the end.

But Pei Ji didn't take it seriously and still went his own way. With the support of the Supreme Emperor, Li Er did not dare to punish himself wantonly even if he did not value him.

"Your Majesty, digging wells across the country is a major event. The veteran believes that the imperial court alone cannot complete this feat. It should call the world's aristocratic families to jointly create this great cause." Pei Ji stood up and said.

Li Er's meaning was very simple and clear, he just wanted to monopolize this achievement, otherwise he would not have set a price of [-] yuan for a well.

But after all, the imperial court only has so much energy, and it is obviously impossible to complete the drilling of wells across the country in a short while. If they want to avoid the drought that may come next year, they must rely on the power of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family has both money and resources. The imperial court can dig wells at a price of fifty renminbi. Although the aristocratic family cannot do this, because there is no benefit at all. Well, I can still make a lot of money this time around.

As for Qin Chao, it was expensive for him to drill wells because he had no resources in hand, and materials and labor were all expensive.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Duke Pei's intention is suitable for this situation. The court should work with the family to fight against natural disasters in the coming year."

"The minister waits for a second opinion..."

Immediately afterwards, a group of ministers stood up and seconded the proposal.

Li Er wanted to gain prestige and secure his throne, and they did not refuse this, because at this time, other than Li Er, the other princes did not have the ability to be the emperor.

However, Li Er can earn prestige, but he cannot prevent the family from making money. But is the purpose of the family really just to make money?
Of course not, money is only secondary, land is fundamental.

Li Shimin's face on the dragon chair did not change, but he was furious in his heart. Li Shimin, who had long been dissatisfied with the aristocratic family, had no choice but to be angry at this moment. He could not ignore the aristocratic family's opinions, but he extremely did not want to Pay attention to.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling and others, hoping to get their help. The longer he sat in this position, the weaker Li Shimin felt. He was at a loss for many things. His life during the Tiance Mansion The technique will not work at all if it is used on the court, but it may cause major problems.

"Drilling wells is a policy formulated by His Majesty's efforts to benefit the country and the people. If the aristocratic family can guarantee that the price of each well is not higher than [-] yuan, I feel that the imperial court should hand over this matter to the aristocratic family. In this way, the imperial court It's good to have more energy to seek more benefits for the people." How could Fang Xuanling not know Li Shimin's embarrassment?But why is it not difficult for him?I had no choice but to stand up and retreat as the way forward.
