Chapter 563
"This is your own person, and you are always angry when you see your robe hurt. Yun Hao in your eyes is the outrageous person who is lazy and outrageous as if he has no bones all day long.
But Yun Hao in my eyes is a fierce tiger, the tiger is drunk, and the lion king often sleeps. Yun Hao is definitely a man-eating beast, and he wants to be in Shuofang back then. I looked at the mountain of corpses with high walls, and I was still relieved. You know, I'm also the emperor who has seen dead people on the battlefield.
In Goryeo, after the Great War of Anseong. Yun Hao is like an evil ghost, 400,000 people! That's a full 400,000 people, and in ancient times it was nothing more than that. He said to kill, and he really killed! Since then, Goryeo has been in a slump. Until it was destroyed by my Datang!
Since then, I have sworn secretly. From now on, this tiger will never be let out, a dynasty will kill too much, will always hurt the fortune of the dynasty.
But this time, Zhang Liang's death forced me to let the tiger out of the gate. Let the big cannibals also know and know, the power of my Tang beast. Hey! I believe that their caliph will definitely regret sending Yusuf to provoke the Tang Dynasty. ”
After Li Er finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As if seeing the caliph's distressed expression, it was a good thing that Yun Haoken was willing to attack westward. A little longer is nothing, Datang is already on the right track. The dynasty without war is rushing towards prosperity. Just fighting in the direction of the Great Eclipse, this kind of expenditure cannot hurt the foundation of the dynasty.
"Your Majesty will let the tiger out of the gate, and he will definitely be able to wipe out the big food in one fell swoop. Open up territory for my Datang! The courtiers all said that Zhenguan was prosperous, and the farthest battlefield was thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty. Looking through the history books, even if it is as strong as Han Wu, there is no such martial arts. "It's always like this in couples' conversations, where men show their ambitions. Women are in a touted role, and the eldest grandson is an expert in the middle.
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and then took the queen into his arms.
The same drama is also being played out in the Yun family, if you say who is the proudest phoenix in Chang'an City. That must be the eldest grandson, this is an equal election, whoever dares to compete for this role will die without a place to be buried.
But if you comment, who is the number one vixen in Chang'an City. It must be Wu Meiniang of the Yun family!
A twenty-two-year-old woman is the most mature age, a woman of her age in Datang. It not only retains the youthfulness of some girls, but also has a trace of the plumpness of a mature woman.
Wu Meiniang has become an irrepressible scourge, both in terms of appearance and physical appearance, it can be called the first disaster in Chang'an City. This is not the kind of competition without opponents of the eldest grandson, and being able to defeat many opponents in Chang'an City, where there are so many beautiful women, can win such an honor, which shows the strength of Wu Meiniang.
Similarly, the dog has also grown into the first high roller in Chang'an. With the support of the big tree of the Yun family, the business is booming. Zhang Miaoke is a woman who is inconvenient to go out, and the Yun family's business near and far over the years has been all taken care of by dogs. The Yunjia has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the dog has contributed a lot.
In Chang'an City, whoever sees these two people will praise their talented and beautiful women.
"Husband! My uncle is in the Western Regions and hasn't been home for two years. Dabao is not in charge, big and small affairs are in your hands......! ”
"There's something to say, there's fart. Don't beat around the bush! "Husband and wife have been around for a long time, and they have reached the point where they know what shit is when they pout their butts. The dog has long known Wu Mei's temper!
"You say, are we separated? You are not your uncle's own nephew, this business will be a treasure sooner or later. You're tired and tired here, and people pick up ready-made. You don't lose a loss! ”
Wu Mei walked behind the dog and chattered while combing the dog's hair.
The dog turned his head and glanced at Wu Mei. Wu Mei couldn't see anything from the dog's face, and was about to try to investigate. "Smack" a loud mouth pumped on the beautiful face!
"It's the first time I've heard you say something like that, and hopefully the last. If I hear such words popping out of your mouth again, Lao Tzu will dig a pit and bury you. After the dog finished speaking, he ignored Wu Mei who was covering her face. Keep sitting in the chair!
Wu Mei rubbed her face and continued to comb the dog's hair.
"Your father went to the Western Regions, and you are the eldest young master in your family, so naturally you have the final say. It's good to help me, my fiefdom is really poor. Li Zhi was lying on Yun Dabao's recliner, eating grapes that had not been in season for many years.
The grapes in spring are rarer than the grapes in winter, and the Yun family has this thing in Chang'an. There are some in the palace, and they were sent by the Yun family.
"Fuck off! My dad went to the Western Regions, and it wasn't you bastards who squeezed it. Anyway, how many times have you come to Yunjia to fight the autumn wind, and last time you said to build a pigsty. I sent the housekeeper to talk to your officials in Jinyang, and it cost 5,000 gold coins to build a pigsty. Your pigsty is a golden pigsty!
That's it, and it is said that the pigsty is covered. Raising pigs made money, but the Qian Yun family couldn't take it. I need to invest something else in you, and you came to the Yun family to rob it. Yun Dabao angrily snatched the plate containing the grapes.
"Dabao, we have been classmates for several years, and I am just a friend like you. If you don't help me now, who can ......! Li Zhi said with red eyes.
"Who can compare to our brotherly feelings! You come less! When you came to the Yun family to talk about things, it wasn't this set of rhetoric. Whether I can change it or not, I'm about to memorize it. No, not a single eldest son. "Yun Dabao's fat hands are dancing like windmills.
"Dabao! This time I don't want you to invest in vain, I have a coal mine ...... there! ”
"Damn! You've told the story of the coal mine eight times, and if you become my mother again, you will doubt my IQ. Okay, okay, I can't pretend to be a fool every time for you. It's true that we are brothers, but you can't cheat brothers like this! ”
"Did you really say that? Well, I'll think about it again if there's anything else. We still have ...... in Jinyang! ”
"And iron ore, right, what kind of iron ore. You're embarrassed to say it! Brother, show you a way to get rich. You know that my father was fighting in the Western Regions, and he was going to attack somewhere far west. According to my father, there are many oil springs there. And it is the place with the highest concentration of oil springs in the world.
We just need to build some big ships and transport the refined oil back to Datang. It's very profitable, you know. To what extent is Datang's demand for fire oil now, and the machines recently developed by the academy are all oil-burning, not coal-burning. Those coal mines in Jinyang can only be used for heating in the future. ”
"Really? It doesn't make sense! If you can only use heating, why do you buy so many coal mines? Li Zhi looked at Yun Dabao suspiciously, saying that through Li Zhi's relationship, the Yun family had bought more than ten large coal mines in Jinyang. The Yun family has always done things without seeing rabbits and eagles. There must be something greasy in this!
"My family wants to forge steel and build ships, and it can't be done without coke. Don't say it's useless, you can't do it. Give you one percent, my family accounts for three percent, Niu family, Cheng family, and Wei Chi family account for one percent. The remaining fifty percent is your daddy's, and if you can convince your daddy, you can take more. Give you a quarter of an hour, there is no such shop in this village.
Your mother's personal maid is now discussing this matter in my mother's room. Make up your mind as soon as possible! ”
"! Dry! Dry! I took a stake, but I don't have that much money right now! Li Zhi said with a sad face.
"My father said, if you are willing to lend Li Yifu to the Yun family and help him build a canal. He can promise you to pay off your debts with something else, I heard that you have iron ore ...... Jinyang! Yun Dabao said with a smile in his sly little eyes.
Li Zhi's fief really doesn't have much money, and it's even more disturbing. Because of the poor economic development, there was a massive exodus of his fiefdoms. They all went to work in the southeast coastal areas, and there were no taxes if there was no one, and there was no money if there were no taxes. No money...... So they went out to work.
In recent years, Datang's policy has changed, and the user registration system no longer binds people to the land. The rent and commission adjustment system formulated in the early years of Zhenguan has existed in name only. At least, Li Er couldn't hear such words in his mouth.
Now Datang is fully encouraging industry and commerce, because of the cultivation of high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. As a direct result, Datang's grain production has grown explosively, and while grain production has increased, the population has also increased.
The population of Zhenguan's birth wave in the third or fourth year has already grown to the age of fifteen or sixteen. In addition to farming at home, more is to go out to work. Many peasant children went into the factories, and even the female dolls went into the spinning mills, weaving factories and other factories. A month's salary is much better than farming.
Li Er was a pragmatist through and through, and the dynasty's commercial tax had reached eighty percent of the total tax revenue. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the agricultural tax is abolished. The national tax on imperial grain, which began to be paid from the time of Qin Shi Huang, is likely to end in the hands of Li Er. After getting drunk once, Li Er revealed to Li Ji that the timeline was two years later. For this reason, Li Er was quite smug.
Throughout history, there have been national turmoil and popular rebellions, all of which were because the peasants could not survive. As long as the peasants did not participate, the so-called rebellion was at best a rebellion. Now the Tang army likes to hear the word rebellion very much. Except for the West at war, the surrounding countries are all trembling at the feet of the Tang Dynasty.
The soldiers of Guanzhong Mansion are looking forward to fighting, and their eyes are almost green. The government military system restricts them, and only by fighting can they be promoted, and only by fighting can they get rich. The enemy's head is money, land, but ...... Now there are no fucking enemies. Those bastards and princes don't rebel much. For a long time, there was no news of a rebellion in other places, which made the government soldiers very sad.
The preferential policies given by the state, they can't take their turn. The government soldiers can only cultivate as farmers in peacetime, and wear armor as soldiers in wartime. The state therefore did not collect any taxes from them, and if someone from the family went on the expedition, they were exempted from forced labor. However, they are also tied to the land, and they have to report to the captain when they go to Chang'an. Not to mention going to the southeast coast to work!
Chang'an is not easy to find work now, and many factories have moved to the southeast coast. The Yun family's factory was moved to Dengzhou, because many of the Yun family's raw materials were in the north. Moreover, Dengzhou has a dedicated train line and a huge seaport. Known as the largest port in the north!
Recently, some people even want to quit the household registration of the soldiers, and in the early years of Zhenguan, this was the household registration that everyone rushed to get on.
However, after the large-scale downsizing of the army, Li Er did not seem to be worried about the collapse of the government military system. Because he was groping for a path to a professional soldier, the number of the 16th guard had reached a very dangerous point.
The more than 300,000 troops that once surrounded Chang'an have only about half of them dismantled. However, the combat power has increased by more than one and a half stars! According to Li Er, facing Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of troops back then. All you need is 30,000 horses!
A powerful railway system has gradually connected the entire empire into one. Even if there was a rebellion in the far southeast, the army in Guanzhong would arrive in about ten days. Until then, the rebels will be bombarded by airships.
Yun Hao said in the past that the railway is the main artery of the country, and now Li Ershen thinks so.
The population of the Tang Empire has exceeded 80 million. This is more than double the early years of Zhenguan, if it continues to develop at this rate. Within a few years, Datang's population will exceed 100 million.
Li Er's favorite thing to hear is how many more people there are under his rule. You know, these people are taxpayers. The more people there are, the richer they are, as for the land. He has a lot of them, and as long as the people are willing, they can receive their own fields of eternal industry and rations. Of course, the location is not in Guanzhong.
Except for Guanzhong, everything in the world can be done. From the easternmost coast of the empire, reach Qiuzi, which is currently controlled by Yun Hao. It's almost a year to ride a horse. Li Er had already laid down a large enough territory that even if the empire had a population of more than a billion people, it would not be able to fill such a large land.
Everything in the Tang Empire is changing rapidly. These changes have never been seen in history, and Li Er has a strong iron fist. With an efficient administrative system, Li Er firmly controls this huge empire.
In order to adapt to the changes in this world, Li Er would even go to Lishan Academy every few days to listen to lectures. For a lot of knowledge that I don't understand, Li Er will consult a special gentleman. Of course, in the face of His Majesty the Great Emperor. Those scholars will also know everything, and they will say everything! He even brought his latest research results in the middle, and vaguely said to His Majesty the Emperor that he was suffering from insufficient funds!
Li Er also does not refuse to come, as long as he is interested or does not understand the knowledge. He usually allocates a large amount of money, and the inner government can get a large amount of dividends from the Yun family every year. Compared with his father, Li Er is not a little richer.
Li Zhi stepped on cotton and left the Yun family, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have stamped a seal on many pieces of paper. He also promised to send Li Yifu to a place far west to help the Duke of Chu build a canal.
Yun Dabao looked at Li Yanrong who was sorting out the documents, and smiled like a fox who had stolen a fat chicken. The chubby hand slapped the fat belly, why did Lao Tzu buy so many coal mines? Why would Lao Tzu tell you that he wanted to build such a high-level thing as a power plant?
With the iron ore in Jinyang, it seems that the ship was built in Dengzhou. With the railway, it doesn't seem difficult to transport the ore to the steel mills in Dengzhou. The thought of building a huge fleet and transporting shiploads of oil from the far west back to the Tang Dynasty. Yun Dabao sweated on the tip of his nose with excitement! What a benefit! A real business that can make people rich!
It's just that Yun Dabao doesn't understand why Daddy specially sent a letter to let Li Zhi take a 10% stake. You must know that Cheng, Niu, and Wei Chi have only been divided into one component. You know, those three families all have their own sons fighting in that place.
