Chapter 15: Small Talk
"There is too much stale grain, and the position is often closed and replaced, so we still have to make the best use of this thing."
Xue Dading, who was ordered to go to the Sanzhou timber warehouse, in addition to finalizing the use of timber first, also had to go to Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, in addition to seconding workers to plan the route, but also to pass on instructions to Wang Xiaotong.
Wang Xiaotong is old, but he is in good health, and the newly built reservoir in Youzhou is presided over by Wang Xiaotong himself. The Youzhou Governor's Mansion basically didn't waste much, purely relying on the levy of the people to offset the taxes, and the labor was gathered, and it took two and a half years to build a decent reservoir.
After the reservoir was repaired, the number of new acres of land in Youzhou reached 1.6 million mu, half of which was used for cotton and the other half was used for soybean and wheat intercropping.
The whole project can ensure that the next ten years will return to the cost, mainly because cotton is still in demand, "Cangzhou No. 3" cotton has now made a reputation, and the backbone people and Murowei people are more willing to exchange cattle and sheep for this high-quality cotton.
"Xue Gong, Your Majesty wants to build a relaxed road, I'm afraid there are three thousand miles?"
"More than that. Wang Taishi made a rough calculation of the new map, at least 5,000 miles. β
"Five thousand milesβ"
The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Industry have straight eyes, five thousand miles, and they will be repaired to the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse?
However, Xue Dading had been a local secretary after all, and he still had some understanding of this routine, so he said: "Don't think that you are just building a relaxation road to watch the sea." β
Shaking his head, "Secretary Xue" looked a little serious: "Your Majesty, this is a consumption of Dongyi's people's power, do you think it is so easy to build roads?" Let's just say that the homeland of Goguryeo, especially the old land of the four counties of Han, and the land of Baekje Silla, the north is mountainous, and the south corner is watery, where is it so easy to repair? This section, about 1,500 miles, five years of repair, Dongyi natives, can still geometrically green and strong farmland work? β
"Yes, I came to work, I ate lunch, and what kind of land did I plant?"
As he spoke, a green-robed petty official rubbed the old grain in his hand, and it was the old grain in Zhenguan's thirteen-year pocket, just a slight rub of his fingers, and it immediately turned into powder.
It's still rice, and if it's millet and wheat, it's even worse.
It is difficult to import stale grain, but in the end, it is also grain, and most of the Goguryeo remnants have one meal a day, and there are very few two meals. Most of the people who can eat enough in a day are concentrated in Pyongyang, but because of the Tang Dynasty's continuous elimination and fighting, the border has long been dissolved, and Pyongyang, as the heart of Buyeo, is also broken.
Therefore, the city of Pyongyang at this time, described in the language of the Central Plains, is nothing more than the filial piety of every family and the funeral of every household.
In the past ten years, there have been many women in the streets and alleys of Pyongyang, and they have even become the main force of labor. In the old days, the poor people in the city who picked up vegetable roots near the royal city have also changed from old men to young girls, and the consequences of the continuous bloodletting war can be seen.
What's even worse is that the Tang Dynasty was already huge, a hundred times larger than Goguryeo, but the Tang Dynasty still played the slow grinding game, and did not regard the Buyeo people as a Turkic empire.
A large number of garrison Wubao and pocket outposts, like scattering beans into soldiers, gradually advanced from Liaoshui to Yalu Shui, and then opened roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, blocked the waterways with boats, and set up camps for soldiers, directly trapping the originally limited elite border troops of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo did not die the fatal blow of the Tang Dynasty, neither the drama of Su Dingfang's 300 cavalry attacking the Golden Horde at night, nor the routine of a million soldiers in Liaodong. Such a local tyrant led by the Buyeo people disappeared from the impression of the Tang people "inexplicably" in ten years after several battles, several conflicts, and several blockades.
There is not even the birth of the "Langya Dinghu Monument", which is a bridge that the people like to see, this time span has gone through several dynasties, and the regional tyrant who brought great scars to the Sui Dynasty died like this.
The storytellers of Luoyang Chang'an didn't have time to compile a few classic stories, and it gradually faded from people's memories.
"If you want to talk about such means, Du Zhenglun and Li Daoxing are the most powerful."
It's all a pipe method, but it also depends on who uses it, Guan Zhong doesn't dare to compare, this kind of genius who is super clever and scheming to dominate, if he wants to get a handful out of the people in the Tang Dynasty, the difficulty coefficient is too high. "Secretary Xue" is a "top bureaucrat" who has been promoted to the fast lane, and what impresses him is those "heroes" who have been exiled.
Among them, there is naturally a talented Du Zhenglun, as for Li Daoxing, "Secretary Xue" has always treated him as a veteran rice worm, a clan waste who was complained about by the emperor and then bombarded away.
"Du Xiucai is now the 'South China Sea Comfort Envoy', holding the holy decree, which is extraordinary. Nanhai has been like this, as long as he can come back alive, even if he is not reinstated, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are not just going to go? β
"Speaking of which, this Ministry of Rites was originally a fart, but now it's very different. There is also Honglu Temple, since the eldest grandson Boshu made a career, it was really a salted fish turned over. β
"In the end, in the end, the descendants of the 'two eagles with one stone' bloodline, divided into Turkic like cracked silks, how can they lose the reputation of their ancestors?"
The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Industry were idle, naturally thinking of Changsun Chong's grandfather, Changsun Sheng, who was not a vegetarian. If you really want to talk about it, the strongest in the Changsun clan is still Changsun Sheng, and then Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong......
Originally, a crab was not as good as a crab, and even a bit of a tiger father and a dog, but who would have thought that the emperor's "luck" was really against the sky, and after 20 years on the throne, he actually made the "family business" so solid and terrifying, so in turn the eldest grandson Wuji, the "tiger father", became a sick cat, but the eldest cousin and eldest grandson flew up and couldn't understand the market at all.
"Xue Gong, this 'couch Su Wu' is still staying in the river, how can Your Majesty not doubt it?"
"What are you suspicious of? Are you casually delegating power as Your Majesty? If the eldest grandson Boshu could not add additional input to Dunhuang, he would have been ordered to return to the dynasty a long time ago. β
Speaking of this, Xue Dading said to his colleagues a little mysteriously, "The old man still heard about it, but I just heard that Ziweiling also went to Wuhan and wanted to write to Cheng Qixi through Zhang Jianghan, in order to borrow the hand of the Western Army to save the elder Sun Boshu......"
"Wow, Zhongshu Ling is so bold!"
"Really? Doesn't Your Majesty know? β
"What if you get it? As long as Cheng Qixi does not rebel, he only talks about the profits of the Huaiyuan County King's annual camel team...... Tsk, how many camels are that, you know? β
"How many can there be? It can't be 100,000 heads. β
"Tsk, 100,000 heads?"
"Hiss......"
It turns out that it's not that Lao Tzu is too stupid, but that Lao Tzu's imagination is too barren......
"So, gentlemen, Your Majesty, there is only one way, that is, to do a good job and carry the loyal monarch for the country. As for the rest, you must not plot rebellion, right? β
"Thank you Xue Gong for waking up."
"I'm waiting for Governor Jianbo to relax and say, Your Majesty only looks at the results, not the process. If the result is good, there will be great success. β
As for the place beyond words, it is about reaping the benefits when there are benefits, but you can't just focus on the benefits, you also have to do things. After the thing is done, can the boss really see you "stealing oil" and peel your skin or exile you for 3,000 miles?
A group of bureaucrats in the Ministry of Industry chatted and chatted, and also recalled, since the boss only looks at the curative effect and does not watch the advertisement, what is Lao Tzu afraid of? When it's time to fish, you have to fish, after this village, there is no such shop.
What does Dongyi have? What are the road repairs?
With a turn of my mind, I first pondered the earth, stone and wood, then remembered the cement brick kiln, and then thought about it, what happened to the mother's old man's department, using a ship to transport some slaves to Shandong?
This is to enrich the amateur life of the people of Shandong!
