Chapter 148: The Imperial Merchant (I)
There are no hot springs in Shudi, but Wang Hongyi is bathing.
Buckets of hot water are poured into the bathhouse with the water vapor of the hundred flowers, and the floating wooden basins are filled with sake and roasted tripe strips, lamb spine strips, and pig ròu strips, which are really good for relieving fatigue.
Coal is used to boil water, and coal was commonly used as fuel in the Northern Song Dynasty of China, and in this world, coal is also used, but it is not specifically used to form minerals.
This has to do with jiāo pass, without which there is no power to transport the whole country.
However, the "Yishan Coal Mine" is a shallow coal seam open-pit coal mine, which really makes Wang Hongyi tempted.
After thinking about it, he got up and came out, and Wang Hongyi ordered: "Go to the Secret Pavilion." ”
When I went out, I realized that the snow was falling.
The snow kept falling, and at this moment the front of the temple was paved with a layer.
In a clear light, Wang Hongyi went down, the entrance of the hall was fixed, and then he entered, and when he got inside, he could see everyone saluting, Wang Hongyi at this time, simply waved his hand, didn't pay attention to it at all, and sat against the glass window, chōu over the documents, and looked thoughtfully at the heavy snow outside.
A moment later, Yu Liangbo came in: "One hundred and seventy-one people are already waiting outside, aren't they?"
"Let's go to the main hall!" Wang Hongyi got up and said.
Not far from the main hall, Wang Hongyi went and saw that the hall had already been cleaned.
One hundred and seventy-one tables were neatly arranged at both ends of the main hall, and he nodded and said, "It's good, let them in!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, the sound of fine music started, Wang Hongyi sat on the big seat in the center, and a moment later, one hundred and seventy-one talents from various counties and counties entered the hall, knelt in front of the hall, and shouted: "Meet the prince!"
Wang Hongyi nodded with a smile and nodded to Yu Liangbo, who held the yellow book and said loudly: "Everyone is seated according to their rank!"
In the upper left corner of each table, there is a note with their names and places of origin, and these people know at a glance, salute first, and then sit down one after another.
Originally, according to the rules, what was prepared for the candidates was a futon, but Wang Hongyi was exempted, and the xiǎo bench was prepared, which made Yu Liangbo feel a little "too preferential"!
After a few net whips, the music stopped.
Under the orders of the ceremonial officials, all of them were in place.
Yu Liangbo read: "Seeking the virtuous and listening, choosing the good and making it, the way of governing the government, can be said, two hours!"
This is the policy, and the question is actually how to govern Shu now, which is a great test of vision, knowledge, and learning, of course, writing is also very important.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly thought about it one by one, and some people began to write on scratch paper.
After a moment of silence, Wang Hongyi sat down and walked slowly in the hall, only Yu Liangbo followed behind.
It was instructed in advance that there was no need to salute during the exam, and these people knew it, so Wang Hongyi was able to walk behind a person, his eyes swept over the papers, and he paced quietly.
Yu Liangbo thought that the lord was watching the exam, but in fact, Wang Hongyi was watching his natal luck.
Can be recommended among millions of people, in fact, the luck is good, except for a few natal qi is white sè, most of them are light red or above.
Wang Hongyi stopped, a young man in front of him who was struggling to write, Wang Hongyi's eyes swept over, first paid attention to his golden sè natal qi on the top, and then paid attention to his place of origin and name - Lu Jiao.
Wang Hongyi stayed for only a moment, and then started again.
After taking a few more steps, another golden sè natal qi appeared-Jiang Mingxin.
After turning around, Cui Ziya and Zhong Liang fell into their eyes.
After a while, Wang Hongyi focused his gaze on one person, this person is also young, about twenty-five years old, looking at this person, Wang Hongyi's eyes were condensed-pale green sè!
Among the talents who paid tribute this time, there was actually a talented person who could be a prime minister!
looked at it, and saw xìng's life, it was Tan Yue.
This person's eyes were focused on paper and pen, his temperament was calm, Wang Hongyi didn't want to disturb the writing, he just glanced at it, and it didn't take much time than before, and left.
This exam takes two hours, Wang Hongyi naturally will not wait, and the paper comes out, and the paper is jointly read by Lisi and Yu Liangbo, and according to the instructions, it is divided into three classes.
Ten in the first class, thirty in the second class, and the rest in the third class.
Although it is not a palace test in name, in fact, it is, this row will have a basis for rewarding in the future.
Wang Hongyi went back and met again.
The patriarchs of several major clans, led by Song Han, came in and saluted.
"Get up, this time it's a discussion. Wang Hongyi said directly: "You all know everything, do you have any ideas?"
Shu is rich in mineral deposits, even in this era, has been distributed a considerable scale of mining areas, there are coal, iron, lead, copper, the most important thing is that there is quite a mature and convenient river transportation in Shu.
Of course, the mining areas in these areas are shallow and easy to mine, and the technical content is not high, so it is easy to get started, and they are also the hardest hit areas by accidents.
However, accidents have no room for consideration in this era, especially at this time.
And to the modern earth, these minerals are nothing, but in ancient times, the mineral deposits on this surface were more than enough to satisfy half the world.
At this time, everyone kowtowed together: "Xiǎo people are graced by the Duke of the Kingdom, and they are also very profitable, dare not obey their orders?"
"Well, in this case, each of your families will be granted a ten-year concession for a mineral, and the workers need not worry, they have their own slaves. Wang Hongyi said.
Ding Huchen and the Eight Banners plan is going well, and now there are five flags, how can these five flags recognize Wang Hongyi's tricks?
It is said that there was not much time, and these black and thin mountain people ate jīng beautiful fish ròu, slept in wide beds, lived in large houses, and wore jīng beautiful robes, as if in a dream.
Stimulated by this, these five banners are desperately strangling their compatriots in exchange for a large number of rewards and fields, and the speed of encirclement and suppression makes Wang Hongyi stunned, and he understands more and more the power of the eight banners.
Since the Eight Banners were so useful, and considering the use of slave labor, Wang Hongyi changed his policy slightly, no longer requiring all the men above the wheel to be killed, but rewarding them by their numbers.
There have been tens of thousands of captives of the mountain tribes, who have been sent to the camp of the exiles, which is said to be the camp of the refugees, but in fact it is a slave camp.
And among the five banners, some wounded warriors were sent to be the leaders, and these leaders of the five banners, who were familiar with the mountain tribes, controlled them effectively, and were sealed as officials who were not in the stream, everyone rejoiced, and waved whips to urge the slaves to work from time to time.
Ore development itself is a chore, now the people of Shuzhong are not even enough to reclaim the land, who has to work, now this group of people immediately fill the gap, and multiple projects can be developed.
It doesn't matter if there are more people, you can send slaves to build roads, bridges, and water conservancy, but in order to stimulate slaves to work better, there is still a reward.
If you work hard, you can become a captain of the xiǎo, if you work hard to learn Chinese, you can also be pardoned in advance, and after five years, a slave who can speak Chinese will become a slave of easier projects, such as weaving, and is allowed to have a house and a family.
Future generations have the possibility of becoming civilians.
As for those who resist to the end, it's very simple, just work in the coal mine to death!
"You will receive this reward, and you will also do your best for the lonely, and the goods of these workshops will be traded throughout the day, and you must carefully contact the right people to trade, so as to meet the suitability. ”
Huge industry and wealth can naturally influence others, on the earth, the Manchu Qing took advantage of the profits of trade, during the war, developed a commercial network represented by the ten imperial merchants.
These business networks not only smuggled weapons and grain and grass, but also developed a large number of downlines and weaved a huge network of relationships.
Although it is only a benefit-sharing partnership, no one will have trouble with money, and most of the time there is no need to risk their lives to rebel, just a proper leak of information.
When these words are collected, they can be reported to the Manchus later.
When the soldiers came to the city, these people would be more courageous to become internal responses.
Wang Hongyi is quite clear about this situation, and Wang Hongyi's principle is to "master the skills of the master to control the country".
I remember someone in my previous life who scolded: "The Japanese do this, you do the same, what is the difference between you and the Japanese?"
Wang Hongyi once asked very meanly: "When the Japanese eat, you eat? When the Japanese dress clothes, you will run to the ground? If the Japanese can speak, you should be dumb? The Japanese are human beings, so you will isolate yourself from mankind? If the Japanese propose a common circle in East Asia, you want China to isolate itself from Southeast Asia? If you can't even distinguish between my hero and his enemy, and the enemy hero and my enemy, there is no need to say it. ”
This is far away, Wang Hongyi ordered to go down, and these people all responded: "No!"
Then it was a detailed explanation, and after an hour, it was almost retreated, and at this time, the original test paper and the list were presented by Yu Liangbo in front of Wang Hongyi.
Wang Hongyi directly found the articles of Lu Jiao, Jiang Mingxin, Cui Ziya, Zhong Liang, and Tan Yue, took a look, and found that most of them were in the second issue.
The other arrangements have not changed, and the command said: "Regardless of the rank, all of them are used by the rank of the officials, the top ten enter the secret pavilion and do clerical work, and the others first walk in the various divisions and study political affairs, for a period of three months, and after three months, they will be sent to the county!"
Wang Hongyi said, his eyebrows spread, and his deep eyes were sparkling.
Yu Liangbo glanced at Wang Hongyi heartily, his heart trembled, and responded: "Yes!"
Wang Hongyi paced leisurely for a long time, nodded and said, "That's it!"
With a wave of his hand, Yu Liangbo saluted again and withdrew.
When Wang Hongyi got up to look, the snow became heavier and heavier at this time, and the snowflakes were numerous, strolling in the corridor, outside the Han yù bridge railing, there were various buildings, and in the distance was the majestic hall, surrounded by guards with knives, all of them became snowmen, and they stood still in the snow.
Wang Hongyi walked slowly, very satisfied, and did not speak for a while.
The nobility of the lord of the people, just like this, the title of the gold list of the ten-year cold window, the eight houses of Jianya, the opening of the mansion, and the glory of the ancestors, in the face of this, have become insignificant.
