Section 517 Iron and Steel Industry (1)
Seven days in Longxi, there is enough busy!
He has to accompany Tang Tian, Jin Yingshu, Tang Yumei's three wives and concubines, and he has to play with the children, which is really tiring. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for the toned beef and mutton, and the ginseng stewed chicken, it would really be unbearable.
It's a pity that time flies, and seeing that the time to return to Beijing is approaching, I can only say goodbye to them.
I think that there is also a lady twelve mothers in Lhasa on the plateau, alas, people are sad in the New Year, and I am sad in love!
Wei Xi is not a bad guy, he is sincere to every girl!
……
Traveling all the way back to Luoyang, I heard the sound of firecrackers.
Back in the princess's mansion, Princess Taiping said with a smile: "You are writing anti-poems again!" ”
Wei Xi sighed and said: "Drinking is wrong, every time I drink in the future, I will only drink three glasses, never drink more!" ”
"But the queen mother let you go, and even Zhuang Jingzhi, a mad dog, didn't come to bite you, and he didn't get on the bullet seal!" Princess Taiping then told Wu Zetian about the erection of a monument in Tongguan after Zhong Shaojing wrote.
Hearing this, Wei Xi secretly admired, worthy of being the future empress of the ages!
The phoenix is above, the dragon is below!
is not afraid that his subordinates will write poems that are not the main theme, and if they want to rest in the braided court, Wei Xi will go to the literary prison.
Then Princess Taiping said, "I have prepared a gift and sent it to them!" ”
"Ugh!"
It turned out that Princess Taiping gave gifts to Tang Tian, Jin Yingshu, Tang Yumei and the twelve mothers of the Niang family, and sent them to Beijing.
At the same time, the gifts given by the four of them to Princess Taiping have been delivered to the princess's mansion!
"Next year, let's let them all go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together,!" Princess Taiping actually proposed this, and Wei Xi had a feeling that tigers don't eat meat.
"Save you from working so hard for the New Year, running back and forth!" Princess Taiping stabbed him.
"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything!" Wei Xi pretended to be an ostrich, buried his head in the sand, and his butt was outward.
In the next sentence, she showed the fox's tail: "Others say that I am not virtuous enough, and I will separate your flesh and blood!" Zhuang Jingzhi, this mad dog won't impeach you, he turned his head and attacked me with a bullet badge, hmph, they robbed my husband, I haven't settled accounts with them yet! ”
Hearing this, Wei Xi was vigilant, the mad dog Zhuang Jingzhi actually knew how to find Wei Xi's weak link!
As long as Wei Xi and Princess Taiping are together, the husband and wife are in love, and the heavenly family has to look at the princess's sake, and it doesn't involve rebellion, it's all a trivial matter!
Once Wei Xi and Princess Taiping are in discord, or Princess Taiping's "Tang Dynasty Princess Disease" has a big attack, it will be like an opening of a dam, and they will have an opportunity.
The princess has always been savage, she hit Wei Xi the elbow and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"I have nothing to say!"
"You stinky men, one by one marry a wife and take a concubine, and say that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as stealing, I said that you are a cheap, fortunately you are not a look, otherwise, I will catch you into the palace and let you go with the people of Niusi!" Princess Taiping is not a good stubble.
"Scared!" There is such a fierce wife, why don't I know? Wei Xi pretended to be frightened.
"Then do you say I'm not virtuous enough?" Princess Taiping's face was unkind.
"You're a good wife!" Wei Xi laughed, and then he said in a low voice, "But it did separate my flesh and bones!" ”
"Wei Xi, you are so daring!" Princess Taiping changed color, and immediately changed the Hedong lion roared, knocking Wei Xi into the bed, and the two fought, competing high and low, and separated the ugly Yinmao.
……
Wei Xi entered the palace to meet the queen of heaven and the prime ministers, and played that he had obtained the steel smelting method of the Tang family in Liangzhou, which should greatly increase steel production.
He was ready to make large-scale industrial investments to meet the empire's growing demand for steel.
"We Datang need steel too much, we must use steel to provide better protection and weapons for our soldiers to overwhelm foreign foreigners, and the war is fought with steel!"
In the heart of the empire, on the magnificent Qianyuan Palace, Wei Xi spoke loudly.
"Steel can be used as an anchor for ships to provide better agricultural tools to increase food production, but the important thing is that the construction industry needs more steel, high-quality roads need iron nets, bridges and houses are a century-old plan that requires tough steel, and the existing steel production is no longer enough to meet the demand!"
He gave a series of figures, that is, the current situation of Datang's steel industry, how much steel can be produced, how much demand can be met, and how much shortage.
Chen Ci said: "Our steel production is insufficient, the efficiency is backward, and the quality is low!" ”
"The Tang family in Liangzhou, given the surname Tang by the imperial court, has devoted itself to improving the steel production process, with high efficiency and good quality, and has matured, the Tang family is loyal to the imperial court, and when they learned that the imperial court had a demand, they immediately offered the method of smelting, which shows their loyalty!"
The Tang family is quite powerful in Liangzhou, if they refuse to give this smelting method, it will be difficult for the imperial court to rob it, unless the four seas are calm, they will have the strength to deal with them. (Now that the northern Turks are rebelling, the Tang family is keeping to themselves, and the court will not be stupid enough to force them to rebel)
Therefore, Tang Jiaken sent the method of smelting, and he was very loyal, and Wu Zetian was happy!
Remembering that her daughter and Tang Tian were competing for the wind, Wu Zetian thought about it again and again, and named Tang Tian as the lord of Xihai, and tacitly agreed that Tang Tian was fighting against the princess of the Tang Dynasty outside, and everyone didn't have a bad relationship.
Otherwise, the Tang family would not be so cheap and give away their own things.
The ministers are also clear about this, and looking at their expressions, they are obviously very satisfied with the good relations between the two sides, and think that the queen's magnanimity has been rewarded.
Technically, it is also feasible to invest, mainly because Wei Xi is rich, and the millions he snatched back from the Wa Kingdom allowed him to participate in the large-scale production of the industry and share a large share, otherwise, he would learn from Lei Feng and give good things to others in vain? !
Moreover, the country also has money, and when it gets the wealth of the Japanese state, let the country also invest money.
Salt and iron production is the lifeblood of the country, and if the country does not participate in it, the country is uneasy, and the local tyrants who invest are equally uneasy.
"I think that steel production should be privately operated! But the imperial court can also invest part of the money! It is a joint-stock system. Wei Xi explained the way of management.
"Oh, you can play it!"
"Since the Han Dynasty, the salt and iron official camp, its quality and price are high, the agricultural tools are stupid and cannot be used, and they are not allowed to be selected, and they are forced to buy and sell! Today, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, salt and iron are all privately owned, and only market taxes are collected, which is the best policy. Wei Xi played.
"However, private steel will lead to private merchants to increase the burden on the people in order to seek profits, and the rich merchants will become rich and rich, and even threaten the imperial court." Guo Cheng raised his voice and said that he was not against Wei Xi, he was helping Wei Xi, and he must know that before implementing the policy, he must be thoughtful, think about the bad side, how to avoid problems, and how to solve problems.
Wei Xi obviously did his homework, he pointed out: "The government-run salt and iron, well, the government-run iron, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has the advantage of increasing the national tax revenue, and the disadvantage is that the iron is inferior and expensive, and so on. At present, our dynasty has relatively abundant financial resources, and the ministers think that it is possible to implement a private system, with the state participating in shares and collecting taxes. ”
Wu Zetian then asked the prime ministers for their opinions, and the result was overwhelmingly agreeing with Wei Xi!
According to Wei Xi, there are two million silver a year, and the Laizhou gold mine also has one million silver a year, and these two incomes are very powerful!
Therefore, in this case, it is advisable to "release water to raise fish".
The prime ministers tacitly said that since the country's finances are loose, then everyone will come to make a fortune, otherwise how can they have money to spend money in the future!
