Tang's dining table

Chang'an's productivity has become excessive.

This phenomenon actually appeared three years ago, but the first and second cotton mills that encountered problems were the first and second cotton spinning mills. The cotton cloth they produced could not be sold.

When he first started building the city of Chang'an, Yunchu felt that the Tang Dynasty society lacked everything. No matter how much food, cloth, or materials the people produced, it was not enough.

Especially for things like cloth, before the people of the Tang Dynasty were wealthy enough to start paying attention to the aesthetic requirements of clothes, people paid more attention to the strength, wear-resistance, durability and warmth of the cloth, rather than such small problems as wrong colors.

When people start to find fault with some minor quality issues of cloth, and when workshops start to compete for the market based on quality, it means that the social demand for cloth has become saturated.

After cloth, the next product that people are picky about is iron products!

It wasn't until the women in Chang'an began to pick and choose the salted fish in the salted fish shop that Yunchu knew that salt from Qinghai was beginning to squeeze out the official salt market share.

Many people always think that a new economic era has arrived in which quality and price begin to win, and they should adapt to this economic change and let them continue along this glorious road.

In fact, this approach is wrong.

Every economic era should be cherished, and the dividends of this economic era should be eaten up as much as possible, instead of eating half of them to eat new dividends, which is a huge waste.

As an official, Yunchu wanted stability and sustainable development. One-time buying and selling was strictly prohibited here.

Without the upper market, we should decisively abandon the upper market and enter the middle market. If the middle market also starts to complain, then it will be inevitable for the market to sink and enter the bottom market.

The economic structure of the Tang Dynasty was deformed. Under the influence of Yun Chu, the city of Chang'an was so powerful that even Luoyang, the eastern capital, could not match it. Products eliminated from Chang'an still had a certain market in Luoyang. As for the following The state and county markets are still in their most primitive state.

Chang'an City has produced a huge amount of materials over the years, and has also transported a huge amount of materials to the outside world. Unfortunately, these dividends have not entered the hands of the people, but have been swallowed up by middlemen.

Li Si's behavior this time is, to a certain extent, a real material delivery to the countryside.

Judging from Li Si's current level of work, Yunchu's view is correct. It is something that no one wants in Chang'an, but in Yanshi County, a place that is currently very poor, demand exceeds supply.

The new economic era is always accompanied by great progress in technology or great changes in society. Yun Chu does not have many technologies that can promote social progress. Therefore, she must cherish what she has now, unlike her previous era. People are too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they consume all the economic dividends that would take a hundred years to be eaten up in twenty or thirty years.

To put it bluntly, Li Si's ability is still seriously insufficient in the eyes of Yunchu and others. At present, he can only do business such as sending some supplies to the countryside, which can be completed without much brainpower.

However, even so, when outsiders look at Li Si, they already feel like a heavenly being!

At least, that's what Li Jingxuan thought. After he sorted out the government structure of Yanshi County, he discovered that the countryside of Yanshi County in his hands was already covered with large and small business cooperatives. When he started to select the chiefs, , when people like the village chief came to the village, they discovered that the local people had automatically elected the village chief and village chief whom they felt they could trust.

Li Jingxuan did not expose this phenomenon, but began to rebuild various social orders in Yanshi County step by step according to the Chang'an model he understood.

Among them, the most important point, which is also the focus of the emperor's request, is to reset the policy of renting and transferring in Yanshi County. The land in this county is distributed according to people, just like during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the land without owners was distributed It was distributed free of charge to every young man in the county.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that although a large number of wealthy families have been lost, the upper and middle households are still there, because the land occupied by others was allocated to them, allowing the upper and middle households in Yanshi County that were originally going bankrupt. The power of households has been strengthened.

The most important point is that a large number of slaves were liberated. In other words, the gangsters and hooligans in Yanshi County, two classes of people who had made no contribution to the Tang Dynasty, became the yeoman farmers of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty then had There are a lot of new tax sources.

After sorting out the land account books, even indigenous people like Li Jingxuan can feel the surging vitality that is still hidden under the soil in Yanshi County.

"Yanshi County, with a population of 6,428, will definitely become a top county in the Tang Dynasty within five years."

After closing the book, Li Jingxuan's first thought was not how to ask for credit from the emperor, but how to get one of his three sons to come to Yanshi County to take up the post of county magistrate.

After thinking for a long time, Li Jingxuan cast his eyes on Zhengzhou in the distance. After crossing the plains and mountains, his eyes fell directly on Yun Chu.

After carefully recalling everything that happened in Yanshi County, Li Jingxuan felt that Yun Chu, who was far away in the Zhengzhou military camp, was looking at him with a half-smile.

I originally thought that after all the rich people here were killed by the emperor's nonsense, Yanshi County would be a pool of stagnant water. Unexpectedly, after Li Si joined, this pool of stagnant water instantly turned into a pool of vital spring water. .

As long as the spring breeze of the coming year blows across this land, Yanshi County will become different.

However, not all of what happened was good, there were also quite a few bad things. For example, Chang Shi of the Dongyang Princess Mansion hurriedly chased him from Luoyang and began to beg him for the property of the Princess Mansion that had been misappropriated by others.

Li Jingxuan was a straightforward person. He did not want to take back the land that had just been allocated to the farmers and turn himself into a bastard official who did not keep his word.

He didn't want to push this matter to the emperor to solve it. He knew very well that one of the reasons why the emperor brought him to Yanshi County was to take the blame. It could be said that what he did in Yanshi County was Most of the achievements that can be made will come from taking the blame.

For example, taking the blame for the emperor, and helping Yun Chu take the blame.

Compared with the huge benefits in front of him, offending a widowed princess like Princess Dongyang is not a big deal.

Therefore, Chang Shi and his servants from Dongyang Princess Mansion encountered evil thieves who did not kill them all that night, and died in the Anding Inn.

When Li Jingxuan saw the county magistrate sent by the emperor, he thought this man was stupid. He didn't know how the emperor trained him. Looking at his face, he looked more like a spy than a scholar.

Not to mention he is arrogant, but when you see him, a fourth-rank official who is one step away from becoming the prime minister, he has no etiquette for lowering his official rank. He still thinks of himself as a disciple of the emperor, and even when he moves, sits, lies, and walks, it is obvious that Stupid.

It seems that he is a character who can easily be ignored, and then be suddenly convicted and beheaded on a certain day, or suddenly die suddenly on a certain day.

After seeing this person, Li Jingxuan's idea suddenly became clear. He felt that with his son's current qualifications, it would be appropriate for him to serve as a bookkeeper in Yanshi County, neither too big nor too small.

When Li Jingxuan began to treat the virtuous corporal, he was impeccable. This made the county magistrate named Huang Tong sent by the emperor feel the warmth from Shangguan.

He never expected that even if he did not rely on the emperor's majesty, he would still be able to use his talents to gain the appreciation of the Minister of West Taiwan.

Even on the first day he came to Yanshi County, with the help of Li Shilang, he began to officially take charge of government affairs. He had to sign a large number of documents every day. At the beginning, every document signed by him , he still has the opportunity to carefully study and judge whether it is suitable.

However, as Yanshi County accumulated too many documents during the chaotic period, the largest number of them were procedural documents submitted to the six ministries. There were so many such documents signed that even he himself could not remember exactly what he signed. What kind of documents have been passed.

Li Jingxuan, who deliberately gave up the gloomy county government office to Huang County Magistrate, now lives in the Anding Inn, the property of Princess Anding. Looking at the dozens of documents on the table with not even dry ink, he looked at the one who kept The scribe without a goatee said: "Since Magistrate Huang has invited you to be his scribe, then do your best and take care of Magistrate Huang, and I will find a way to get you from a clerk to an official."

Also, you must keep a close eye on this Huang County Magistrate. I always feel that with His Majesty’s wisdom, among the talents he has recruited, there should not be such a stupid fool. He actually has no idea how to do a good job as a County Magistrate. Nothing is known. "

The goatee-bearded scribe whispered: "This man is not an orthodox scholar. He became a Jinshi after finding a way out. According to the people who came with him, this man's family is quite wealthy and he was originally a cinnabar merchant in Sichuan."

Because he paid tribute to the palace with a large amount of good cinnabar, which could soothe the nerves, he was given a high position and came to Yanshi County as the county magistrate. "

Li Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you rich? Isn't that right? Of all the families with cinnabar mines in Sichuan, which one is not a wealthy businessman?"

The goateeed scribe chuckled and said, "Mr. Lang wants to..."

Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Meng, the biggest shortcoming of our family is poverty."

Mr. Meng, the goatee scribe, said: "In this case, our arrangements for this Huang County Magistrate will be revised."

Li Jingxuan looked at Mr. Meng and said, "Be more prudent and don't get into trouble."

Mr. Meng said with a smile: "Since a lowly businessman has worked hard to bypass the lowly status of a businessman and become the honor of a county, with the nature of a businessman, he naturally has to earn ten times as much money as an official in this position. give up.

A certain family believes that the first quality of being a magistrate in Yanshi County should be honesty and integrity, and meeting His Majesty's expectations is the first priority. If you make money as soon as you get started, it will definitely be a recipe for death. "

Li Jingxuan nodded and said: "When the eldest son arrives, you must explain this truth to him clearly and thoroughly. If you want money, you can't get it from Yanshi County, but you should find a way from this Huang County Magistrate." .”

Mr. Meng smiled and said, "Students understand."
