Chapter 770: His Majesty the Old Minister Hexi

Yelu Chun's actions were like an explosion of thunder, which sounded in Yidu City, alarming countless people.

He actually gave up the treasure pot. What did this person think?

Once the cashmere was released, it attracted countless pairs of envy, which was like cotton cloth, containing endless benefits.

It was even more of a great contribution, which made His Majesty the Emperor personally say the special merit of "This is a great contribution". Although outsiders don't understand the inside story very well, what does it matter? As long as you know what it represents and know its extraordinaryness.

Now Yelu Chun actually gave up and took the initiative to give up with him?

"Is this guy a fool in his mind?" Countless people asked the same question at the same time.

They couldn't understand Yelu Chun's difficulties, but they saw that Yelu Chun had a status and status. Compared with merchants and ordinary people, Yelu Chun's capital was already strong enough. Although the blend of cashmere and cotton wool is huge, it is impossible for them to eat alone, but they can definitely make a profit, right?

Just as Emperor Lu thought before, Dalibo's face was there. Many people think that Emperor Lu would not look at others, and that only one Dalibo could not look at Yelu Chun at the loss!

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

If you use a "grape pot" to exchange for a grandson's chance to become an official for a few years earlier, this is a loss-making transaction just from the perspective of "transaction". But everyone knows that their Emperor is a benevolent and righteous person. Could it be that he will really see the Yelu family suffer a loss?

As long as the emperor remembers your goodness, this is the real goodness of Yelu Chun's sect.

Emperor Lu didn't care about the troubles outside. It was approaching the end of the year. The Jurchens in the north and Zhao Song in the southwest sent envoys to see him. The news reached Yidu, and he agreed, but the people on both sides had not yet reached Yidu.

Inside, government agencies at all levels and government agencies of all levels have already made the final summary and summary of the work of the year. Only the emperor, he was very leisurely during this period.

Don’t Lu Qian hates leisure and happiness? Now he has learned to enjoy life. Although in this world with backward technology, the spirit of electronic products and entertainment is far from comparable to that of later generations, as a top-level superior, he never lacks the means of entertainment and relaxation.

I was bored with singing and dancing, and I also had stories about juggling, sumo wrestling, and playing cards and mahjong. If I fail to succeed, I will go to the schoolyard to run horses. Today, there are more than ten famous horses in the imperial horse prison.

Emperor Lu couldn't play those elegant games, such as playing chess, poetry, songs, art of elegance, etc.

He doesn't like watching operas, even if the paintings are written according to his guidance. Compared with traditional talented men and beautiful women, as well as the top scholars of poor families, the brothel courtesans who are good at seeing heroes with great eyes, and then the top scholars of poor families married everyone's ladies, and the brothel courtesans who are both obliged and paid for money, the bloody and happy concubines of concubines, the strange values ​​are completely renewed. But Emperor Lu still doesn't want to take a look.

This kind of opera that was fueled by him was actually a revision of the zaju and singing songs of the Song Dynasty. Although it was very popular with the natives of this time and space, Emperor Lu didn't think it was so awkward.

He would rather listen to people's stories.

The Bookstore of the Internal Affairs Office raised dozens of people, all of whom had extraordinary writing styles and came to write palace paintings and novels for Emperor Lu. This treatment would be difficult to achieve if you have money in the future.

In addition to the above, Emperor Lu is still learning to play with Aoying. Although there is no hunting ground around Yidu, he is not obsessed with it.

It’s either bending a bow and arrow, or pulling people to play a polo game... Emperor Lu’s invincible skills can only be presented as a hero on the polo field.

Besides, there were beauties in the harem and a few small radish heads. Even though there were no gardens, and there were no ornamental or clever gardens for him to love, Emperor Lu had a lot of life.

Occasionally, when he gets interested, he will also walk out of 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 the ground dragon to keep warm. There are fire channels underground in the palace. The fire channels have holes on the ground. Fires outside are burned. The heat will be transmitted to the house through the fire channels. There are special smoke exhaust measures, which are called the ground dragon. The feeling that Emperor Lu does not feel worse than heating at all.

In summer, there is no air conditioner, and water dragons can relieve heat. This is the "invention" played by our ancestors in the Li Tang Dynasty. Like the earth dragon, it is the name given by Emperor Lu and the method that Emperor Lu came up with. He looked through the essays and travel notes that day and saw interesting stories recorded during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, most nobles built Liang Halls near the river and lake. In midsummer, water was introduced into the underground secret passages in the hall, and used water trucks or other mechanical transmission equipment to drive circulation and refrigeration. Then, a rotating wheel fan was used to send the cold wind into the hall. It was really refreshing. There is a poem to prove that: The beautiful girl in Yaotai, playing Liang Hall.

Therefore, there are water dragons in the Forbidden City.

There was not only a smoke exhaust passage buried below the palace, but also a large number of copper pipes. When the sun was hot, the livestock water truck extracted cold water from the well and sent it into the dedicated water tower. After opening the valve, the cold water entered the copper pipe and discharged into the reservoir in the palace. In this process, no matter how much hot air in the house was taken away, it felt more comfortable than the air conditioner! It straight down the amount of ice used in summer and cut it off!

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

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

The nobles all over the city hoped that they would follow the emperor's pace and follow the emperor's pace, just like the crystal glass sheets earlier.

But so many noble people are crowded with goods for a while, so where can they be accomplished? Whether it is the workers laying water dragons or the copper pipes required for construction, they are all limited and need special characteristics according to the size of the room. Even the water tower and the livestock water drawer also require special technical personnel to guide them. The whole matter was not finished until August, and the weather was getting colder.

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

Starting from June, the number of workshops and workshops in the two industrial parks has significantly improved compared with the gains in previous months.

Because of the emergence of water dragons, the craze in Yidu City has caused merchants to clearly see opportunities to make money. From the iron pipes and valves required for water towers, to the copper pipes required for water dragons, as well as the large and small parts involved in livestock water trucks, these are the focus of the new workshops. And it can be clearly seen that the newly added workshops and workshops have more single products and more finer products.

The so-called livestock water truck workshop, not to mention a livestock water truck assembly point, is very similar to the carriage factory established by the internal affairs office.

In name, it is a place where carriages are produced, but in fact it is a assembly place, because the small and small parts inside the carriage, even the carriage boards, are outsourced by the internal affairs office.

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

And the current water dragon is a new economic stimulus.

Emperor Lu was in a very good mood all summer.

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

Isn’t this confirmed by the water dragon that has been lively throughout the summer?

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the first batch of members of the Jockey Club's expansion of recruitment was announced. It attracted countless wealthy businessmen and businessmen to gather in Yidu, and it happened that the Manichaeism went south. Fang La direct transport made a large order worth 2 million yuan. From linen, raw silk, needles and threads, to metal products such as iron pots, iron spoons, kitchen knives, axes, to nails, iron chisels, and even large pieces of iron ingots and spinning wheels and looms...

These are all utensils that need to be used in daily life, and are utensils that people cannot live without food, clothing, housing and transportation. Such a big order has added a fire to the already lively Yidu business community.

Then there was the establishment of the Ming Duchy Kingdom, which was a good way for scholars who had no choice but to do so. This was even more so for merchants.

Think about it, what a huge new market is this, with millions of people from Manichaeism traveling south, and with the indigenous people they have conquered.

And this is just one of the four feudal families.

The incident of Fang La caused a stir in the entire Central Plains, which also caused the birth of many indigenous kingdoms in Southeast Asia. The reason is that there are three more powerful vassals like him.

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

When the Three Feudalists were founded, did they take away a large number of military and civilians like Fang La? No matter where they were assigned, they were a huge emerging market.

If the Jockey Club cooperates with the feudal vassals and founding a country, the bursting power will definitely be 1+1>2.

Not to mention, Lu Qian already had credible information that his big plan was no longer a secret. In other words, the heroes of Daqi are already working closer to the power of merchants. Perhaps the identity of the Kong family is already an open secret and cannot be guaranteed.

But don't pay attention to this.

The Kong family’s ‘function’ was not intended to be applied to those merchants, and even its target was not those scholars, but only the vast majority of ordinary people.

Merchants can trample everything for profit, whether in modern times or in ancient times, and this is not rare at all.

Otherwise, how would the eight royal merchants of the Qing Dynasty appear? That was a permanent shame for Shanxi merchants. And the "Toshiba Incident" that broke out in 1987 also shocked the whole world, right?

The same is true for scholars. No matter at this time or 500 years or later, Kong Lao Er was always just a sign they held. In the face of sword power, scholars never became popular.

On the contrary, the values ​​in their hearts are the real absolute destiny of a country.

Emperor Lu made a fuss about Kong's family in order to break certain concepts in the hearts of the people. The 160-year rule of Zhao and Song Dynasty was quite short, but it had already stamped its own mark on the Chinese nation. Emperor Lu needed to completely destroy it. In the hearts of the people, his will was recorded in the group class with the largest population base in China.

Because the people who occupy the vast majority of the population are most directly influencing the new generation in China.

Is it very important to "all things are inferior, but only those who study well" or "a good man is determined by all directions".

Now that the end of the year has come, Emperor Lu has not yet obtained national data statistics. In today's era, it is not easy to do this statistical data well.

But he had the exact data on the gathering areas of the two major factory workshops in the capital, and a detailed survey on the changes in handicrafts in Jinan and Jeju.

"The year-on-year asset growth in the three places is above 30%. The old minister congratulates His Majesty." Zong Ze was still the chief minister of the cabinet who was unshakable. This is a person who has the word "living people" in his heart, and a smart person. His political tendencies have always been extremely clear.

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

Many of Emperor Lu’s plans were a bit too ridiculous and even a bit frivolous when he watched them. Unlike Emperor Lu’s favorite frontal crushing when he was in war, he took a different approach and took a different approach.

However, facts are better than words. The data from Yidu, Jinan and Jeju have already shown that the emperor's ideas are not wrong.

In fact, this is also a turbulent trend in history.

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

The Jockey Club provided this platform, and after combining it with the "feudal feudal establishment" and the power it burst out was extremely powerful. Now, this power has just emerged and is far from entering its heyday, but it has achieved gratifying results.

"Wen Lin, are you still worried now?" Lu Qian smiled. The exact data and detailed survey reports of the three places were written not only about the cumulative amount of new funds invested by the three places in the workshops, and the year-on-year growth rate compared with previous years. It also includes their GDP, raw material sources, labor income, the net profit of the workshop owner, taxes paid, as well as the number of workers and the salary level of workers.

In Zong Ze's mind, the Central Plains are so big that there are countless people who have lost land. What China lacks is always land, not manpower. He still cannot see the future scene of industry and commerce competing for labor with land.

In his opinion, even if the industry and commerce pursue profits, even if they violate the holy way, they can absorb the wealth of the people, which is great profit. And the people can benefit from it.

There are only craftsmen in Yidu, which have more than 20,000 people [two industrial zones]. From weavers, cobblers, bamboo craftsmen, shoemakers, to carpenters, blacksmiths, copper smiths, etc., everyone has a lot of income. At least in such a big and difficult place, and can support their families. If there are dozens of places in such a place, wouldn’t it be worth more than one million households to have food and clothing?

Zong Ze was most worried about the lack of benevolence and righteousness of merchants, which means he was worried that merchants would rush workers to death, and asked the latter to do more than cows but eat less than chickens.

Zong Ze, who had no idea how cruel the industry and commerce would be in the process of development, nor did Zong Ze, who had no idea how much manpower would be taken away in the development of industry and commerce, was only full of joy at this moment.

Lu Qian felt a little sad. If merchants can restrain their inner greed and always hire workers with a relatively high salary, then there will be a ghost.

When the British dominated the world in later generations, there were countless evil spirits of female workers and child workers floating on the Thames. They were not only miserable textile workers in Mumbai, but also capitalists who did not recognize their relatives when making money, but also ruthless to their people.

As a time traveler, how could Emperor Lu not know that "since capital came to this world, every pore in his body has blood and dirty things flowing." But his life ideal is not Emperor Lu, who is dominant on this acre of three-point land in East Asia. He not only wants to conquer Central Asia and India, but also wants to involve the heavenly side, but also hopes to immigrate to the Americas in a small batch in decades. All these plans require super strong national strength to support it. It may be difficult to support it with just one farming in China. What's more, Emperor Lu hopes to destroy the root seedlings of the devastation and humiliation of China in official history for China...

After more than a thousand years of development, the advanced nature contained in Confucianism itself has been costly in the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Just like that peak, you reached the peak of your life yesterday, and today you are already on the decline.

The Song Confucian philosophy cannot be said to be without any advantage. It is a true saint who guarantees it. It is too high. It is difficult for anyone to achieve the life of the people in the world. Is it that the so-called Zhu Zi, who scattered ashes, trapped Yan Rui, plays with nuns, and other cases are all false accusations? You must know the holes before the wind will come.

As the guiding ideology for governing a country, thousands of officials themselves cannot meet the standards. If you use this guiding ideology to govern the entire country, isn’t this a bit ‘in the air’?

Therefore, Emperor Lu resolutely broke up Song Ru, shoveled away Neo-Confucianism, vigorously developed industry and commerce, and vigorously colonized externally, he himself didn't know what this would make China look like in hundreds of years, and what direction would this history of time and space go. But he did it. The effect is still good now.

The rapidly expanding territory diluted China's population density. Now Fang La is the only one who founded the country, which is not very obvious. When one vassal state after another is established, in order to quickly gain a foothold in the new land, these new countries will probably wave their flag to the Central Plains to recruit immigrants.

At that time, there were no 10 acres per capita or 20 acres. There was no 10 acres per person, and even the land was not limited. It only took three or five years to cultivate it and it was your family’s slogan. You were embarrassed to recruit immigrants.

This will greatly absorb China's surplus population and compete fiercely with emerging industry and commerce. At that time, if the owners of domestic workshop factories do not follow up on the benefits of workers, why should they retain workers? The current land rental system can also ensure the lives of the people. If the workplace is not more profitable than farming, how can they ask people to leave the land? The surplus labor force among the people is always exhausted sometimes.

The current situation in China is completely different from that of John's Cow or during the Republic of China. In addition to selling off their own labor and making cattle and horses for capitalists, they also have two ways to go, namely farm and eat and immigrate overseas. With room for space, it will naturally be called capital itself.

At that time, what about the "market economy"? The two will reach a balance between countless tests and confrontations.

"Your Majesty, Li Dao, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, asked for a meeting!"
