"Come with me to the construction site." Li Longji heard the news, put his hands behind him, and walked back.
After Gao Lix was relieved, his footsteps became light.
"Luxury, to be honest, I hate Xiaobao. I always talk half way. I asked him. He still goes around in circles. You and me guess who did he pass the money to? How did he pass it?"
Li Longji began to fall into a special mood. To put it bluntly, he was stunned. He was only like this when facing Zhang Xiaobao. For ten years, he has been fighting in such dark calculations again and again, and he has never seen it. Over the dawn.
Without waiting for Gao Lishi to answer, Li Longji said: "A habit has been formed, a habit that I like. Only when facing Xiaobao and the cuckoo, can I relax beyond the harem. Do you know why?"
"The minister doesn't know, but... the minister is actually very disgusted with Xiaobao. When others face the minister, they mostly flatter him. The minister has never seen him in Xiaobao and the cuckoo. They neither laugh behind him because of his physical defects. The minister does not flatter him because of his status.
Xiaobao sometimes praised the minister, but the minister knew that it was definitely not because the minister was close to his majesty, but because he recognized the minister as the foster father, so the minister who was used to other people's flattery felt uncomfortable. "
Gao Lishi followed Li Longji's words and made an angry look.
Li Longji smiled and patted Gao Lishi on the shoulder.
"As expected to be my most caring man, as hateful as Xiaobao, you have to go around in a circle to explain something, you just say that Xiaobao is not afraid of me, so why bother to turn to you.
They are really not afraid of me, not even the most basic respect. The only time the respect comes from the heart... is when they cancel all official land salaries and increase taxes based on income.
At that time, I promised to give the Juanjuan the command of half of the country’s troops so as to counter the threats from the important courtiers and the families. Unfortunately, I was so bad at that time, thinking that they would use force to coerce the families to make compromises. Who knows..."
"Who knows that your majesty wants to give them soldiers, they are useless, because they not only have cuckoos who can fight well, but also Xiaobao who likes to play tricks. They knew what they would face, so they made preparations in advance. However, they still received your love."
Gao Lishi stopped going around in circles this time, and said bluntly that in this era, he seems to be the only person who dared to analyze his psychology with Li Longji. Others did not dare, and Li Longji was even more unlikely to have such a close relationship with his courtiers.
Similarly, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan respect him not because of his high position, but because they know his loyalty in history, even if he is an eunuch.
Li Longji nodded: "When I say that I dislike Xiaobao and the others, I agree with them. But I have people who really dislike them, a group of people led by Shangshu Wang Zhao, and people on Yushitai who are eager to try. They have the purpose of opposing Zhang Zhong. It is against Xiaobao and Juanjuan.
I know that they are doing it for me. The way to be the emperor is to use people, and use their power to suppress their hearts. It requires a balance. So they stood up and confronted Zhang Zhong everywhere. I still couldn't deal with them. I could only hint. They obviously got hints, but they still don’t belong. "
When Li Longji spoke, his face became ugly again, as if he thought that Wang Zhao and others couldn't understand what he meant. He also hinted at himself through actions, and asked himself to remove Zhang Zhong's Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, even if he replaced it with another Shangshu.
The issue is…
"The problem is that your majesty does not need to balance the two families of Xiaobao and Juanjuan. The ministers found that they also have ambitions. The difference is that their ambitions are not in the court, but outside. They want to use various means to occupy more land and Resources, look back so that the people of mine can lead a better life.
According to their psychology, this is their way to realize their personal value. To the ministers, they seemed to feel that the court and even the imperial power were too small for them, and they were unwilling to tie themselves to the court, as if they were playing with the world. "
Gao Lishi is even more disgusted with Wang Hui and others. It is easy to replace Zhang Zhong, but it is difficult to replace Zhang Zhong. Xiaobao said a long time ago that they must take charge of Datang's industry and build a powerful Datang Heavy Industry.
If Zhang Zhong is not placed in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Xiaobao will definitely separate the research institute and will never allow others to intervene in the research institute. But obviously, Wang Zhao and the others just wanted to take the research institute.
How is that possible? Don't say that Xiaobao Juanjuan disagrees, even your Majesty will not agree. Only when you put the research institute in Xiaobao's hands, your Majesty can be at ease. There is no need to worry about the speed of development or the issue of confidentiality.
"So I plan to adjust Wang Zhu's position. How does Qing look at it?" Li Longji asked again.
"The minister thought it was impossible. Wang Chao did a good job at the Ministry of Households, replaced by others or many omissions. What's more, Xiaobei and the others have already taken action and cut off the free welfare supply in Wang Chao's home. Wang Chao is still in good time. , The family's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so Xiaobei and the others took out the things and sent them there.
Benevolence and righteousness, young children also know how to choose, and they are better than many officials in the court, and officials can be said to be endless when they smash their opponents. Who would have thought that when Wang Xi’s daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, Beckham would send a lot of nutritional products. Wang Xi should be ashamed. Now that the child can learn to walk? "
Gao Lishi hated that he couldn't kill Wang Chao directly, but considering the opponent's ability, he could only give up his grievances.
"After giving birth, the child received a lot of support from Beckham. He has prenatal education, and also sent a car to learn to climb and walk. It is estimated that the birthday will be celebrated in a few days. Let me see, I have time to pass by. Look, look back so you can report to Beckham and the others, tell them.
Speaking of Wang Chao, I think of the court meeting at the end of last year. Because of the excessive expenditures of the Zhang and Wang family in other areas, especially the excessive expenditure on intelligence, the year-end settlement was 5 million less than the previous year, which broke Wang Chaole.
But then, the new group that they established in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry didn't make any profit, and it was in a situation where it lost money during the year and was able to make profits after the year. This means that there will be no dividends during the year, but there is no need to worry about losing money, because the money you just made during the new year will make up for the deficit.
According to what Zhang Zhong said that day, this is called a balance of payments. However, according to what I heard from Xiaobao, as long as a sum of money does not generate profit, it is depreciating in itself.
This is a kind of relative depreciation, which means that we have issued more currencies, so the purchase of the original unit of currency has decreased, and there is a simplest rule. The more luxury goods in the social goods are purchased, the more money will inflate. , This is a relative depreciation.
Xiaobao also mentioned another absolute devaluation. In this case, he said that he promised to control it and not allow it to occur, or within a certain time and within a certain range. The absolute depreciation means that the growth rate of currency issuance exceeds the growth rate of the production of civilian biological assets.
Reflected in the specific situation, the price of materials necessary for survival has risen too fast, much faster than the speed of people's income.
There are two reasons for this situation. One is the issuance of a large number of currency when productivity cannot keep up. If you do not want to give up the speed of issuing currency, you must improve production technology. The second is the erroneous intervention of administrative orders. The ruling class artificially hinders the majority of the people from obtaining currency. If they do not want to give up this erroneous administrative intervention, they must add new administrative policies aimed at the welfare of the majority of the people.
This is what Xiaobao said to me. Wang Chao wants me to balance Xiaobao. I am confused when I hear it. What should I balance? I have balanced Little Treasure, who will give me the balance of domestic income and output? Who will help me balance the unemployment problem caused by the speed of social development? Who will give me the balance, which is called the balance between spiritual civilization and material civilization
Is he Wang Chao okay? When any part of the country was hit by a disaster and needed money, Wang Chao had a sad look on his face. What he was sad about was how to allocate the money, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. Changing to Xiaobao was sad, fearing that the speed of issuing orders would slow down and the people would suffer.
These are two different things. One is because I can't help it and I feel sorry for myself, and the other is because I am afraid that the method will be implemented slowly and worry about the people affected by the disaster. I was so angry that I was replaced by Xiaobao and tried to clean him up. "
Li Longji murmured a lot, brushing his chest with his hand, it seemed that he was very angry.
Gao Lishi quickly comforted: "Your Majesty calms down, calms down, it's not worth it. Wang Zhao has nothing to do with Xiaobao. The people at Yushitai want to impeach, but they dare not. Let alone them, even if Wei Zheng is still alive, he still wants to keep it. silence.
Just as your Majesty said, Xiaobao has already retaliated against Wang Chao and the others. Otherwise, how could the new group not make any money by relying on Xiaobao's ability? When it comes to balance of payments, it can be considered a skill, even if you check it carefully, you can't find any problems.
Xiao Bao couldn't do too much. You heard it that day. Wang Zhao shouted that Xiao Bao had promised not to do anything with people in China, but he had chosen to play tricks on them. If they really made them pay, they would have called them even harder.
The main reason is that Xiaobao has promised the cuckoo not to use his abilities to harm his people. Otherwise, look at the former Tubo, as well as the current Silla and Japan, when Xiaobao really invaded them.
Your Majesty, don't look at Wang Chao's yelling loudly. He is actually scared. He originally thought that Xiao Bao was as gentle as jade to the country, but he forgot the character that Xiao Bao Jie must report.
Your Majesty, you see, the Hall of Two Instruments has arrived. According to your instructions, a three-storey building will be built here, and other places will be built to build a fountain, and ornamental fish will be raised in the pond, and then local aquatic plants will be transported from Hangzhou. It must be a grand scene in summer. "
Li Longji nodded in satisfaction when he saw the busy people on the construction site, and then said: "I used to want to repair the palace, the ministers always have to stop me, now I am repairing, who dares to speak? If it wasn't for Xiaobao to make money for me. , I don’t want to talk about building a three-story building, the flat ground will also be controlled by others."
Gao Lishi could see it. His Majesty was thinking about Xiaobao's goodness. No matter what he said or any topic he mentioned, his Majesty promised to think of Xiaobao first.
After Li Longji finished speaking, he looked around the Liangyi Temple and gave no instructions to the construction team, because the construction team here is the Zhengzheng Construction Group. No matter in terms of safety, technology or quality, they can't fault it.
What makes Li Longji depressed is that the price is very high, because according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s regulations, for the rich and the rich, the price is charged differently. The higher the status, the richer the family, the more fees are charged. , I am not afraid of being tricked by others, whoever has the courage will try.
As the emperor, Li Longji, of course, charged him the highest.
"Your Majesty does not need to worry. For the internal money, building a palace is like a dwindle, and the annual interest is enough. Moreover, the construction of zhengzheng makes money, and it will immediately use other aspects, such as repairing bridges in the village, such as repairing a school, or A pavilion on the side of the road for people to rest."
Gao Lishi fanned the floating dust with his hand, said.
"I know, just every time I take money out, I can’t control the idea of taking it back, because I don’t make money. Unlike Xiaobao, I don’t feel distressed when I spend it out because he can continue to earn money, even better than Xiaobei and the others. They don’t have to pay for all the expenses at home. The money earned by the Baby Candy House can be squandered at will. Moreover, Xiaobao and the cuckoo don’t care. It’s really different to have a good brother and sister."
Li Longji murmured.
Gao Lishi couldn't answer the conversation at this time, and kept his due silence.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness is here, and...has already come in." The voice of the construction site did not cover up the eunuch's shrill yelling, and an eunuch came to report the situation.
As soon as his words fell, Prince Li Hong, the original Li Ying, walked in from outside.
In theory, even the prince could not enter casually, but Li Ying got a telegram from Zhang Xiaobao, and he had enough confidence to come in directly. Moreover, he has also received advice from Zhang Xiaobao, telling him that if he is too obedient, he will lose affection, and occasionally make small mistakes to bring people closer together.
Therefore, Li Ying chose to go straight at this moment without notice, and he was carrying a seal with the signatures of the steward of the champion building and the steward of Zhang Wang's family.
"Hong'er, you have nothing to do today?" Li Longji didn't even think about the incident that his son had come over without notification. Right now it is the construction site, it's messy, who to notify.
"I have something, I'm busy, but Xiaobao sent a telegram to tell the child something, and asked the child to bring something over. I also miss my father. Why not come here? You see, my clothes haven't changed yet. ."
Li Ying lifted the thing in her hand and smiled at Li Longji.
His randomness is pretended, to be precise, he was trained. Looking in the mirror, following the practice taught by Zhang Xiaobao, not only the expression, voice, eye expression, but also mental coordination are required, that is... , The breeze is blowing on the hills; he is horizontal by him, and the moon is shining on the river. The kind of being beaten and not fighting back and talking and laughing.
Li Longji looked at his son, and saw that his clothes were stained with a lot of ink. In addition to black, there were yellow and red.
"What did you do before His Royal Highness came down?" Golishi Li Longji asked.
Li Ying is very in awe of Gao Lishi, and saw people who need to call "Master" in private. Of course, the awe now is a little bit worse, or it can be said to be even worse.
It all depends on Zhang Xiaobao's support for him, so with Zhang Xiaobao's support, you don't need to pay too much attention to others. However, Zhang Xiaobao is the son of Gao Lishi, so he needs more respect.
Li Ying understands what Zhang Xiaobao meant, and does not want the country to be too turbulent and affect his foreign diplomatic methods, but at the same time he will not tolerate others being bad to his adoptive father.
Thinking of this, Li Ying adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "Back to the general to ask, I went to the newly established printing workshop to see others working, and the research institute of the Ministry of Industry sent new dyes, called ink pads, or colorants. That's what happened anyway.
Therefore, newspapers can print patterns and texts with various colors. Although the patterns are not very accurate, they are modularized, that is, all kinds of small patterns are made first, and then spliced, which is very demanding for printing and typesetting personnel. , Otherwise you can't spell it well. "
"Oh...? Bring a printed newspaper?" Li Longji came to be interested. Today, I just saw a remote data command drawing, and the color newspapers and some modular patchwork graphics that came out immediately are good.
Li Ying, who had been preparing for a long time, took out a few rolled up newspapers from her arms, handed them to Li Longji with one hand, and put the things she was carrying on the ground, standing and panting. It was obvious that the things she carried were not light in weight.
Li Longji and Gao Lishi got together to read the newspaper. There were graphics, but it was a little more rigid. There were many other colors in the newspaper, which looked eye-catching.
Then two people looked at the content. The headline on the front page was two big red characters "Disputation", followed by a row of small yellow characters, "Strong enemy peeping, a long journey, not looking at the future life, just asking about this life, cherishing my blood, and making a treasure. Who stuns the front?"
The author's name is written below, Wang Juan.
Then there is a big picture of a warrior urging a horse to swing a sword. The background is a banner with the word "Tang" written on it.
There is also a row of obliquely printed squiggles on the picture, "A tiger swallows thousands of miles."
Li Longji's waist unconsciously stood up, as if he was the one riding the horse and swinging the knife.
Gao Lishi gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
Li Ying said at the right time: "The picture board has been sent to various places. According to the request, tomorrow morning, such a newspaper will appear in all places where Datang publishes newspapers."
"Okay, okay, send it out. The people know that there is going to be a war, and they were looking forward to it before. Now it finally starts. Xiaobao will soon come up with the administrative plan. Hong'er, what is the price of this newspaper?"
Li Longji knew that tomorrow's newspaper was about to start propagating the war, and he wanted the people to support it.
Li Ying took out a newspaper from his arms again, set it up with the previous one, and said, “If you go back to your father, it’s still the same as before. Don’t throw it away after reading it. Collect three copies for two papers. Money, if you cut out the advertisements and promotions in the newspapers, you might still be able to take advantage of a penny."
Li Longji spread a smile on his face again and said, "Luxury, did you see it? This is Xiaobao. There are many articles about Confucian scholars in the newspaper, and there are also court policies. It is easy to sell at high prices, but you look down on the little ones. What did Bao do? Why did he do it?"
"The minister knew that Xiaobao sold a penny for each newspaper with many copies, which was not enough for the printing cost. But for the common people to see, at least their children who had been in high school for two years could read it for them, so he only sold one pen. It also recycles. Sanwen recycles two pennies, but only one-third of pennies for one copy.
Xiaobao doesn't want people to lose the opportunity to pay attention to the country because of money, so it is very cheap. But Xiaobao was not far away to lose money, so he hired merchants from all over the place to post advertisements. At this time, the newspaper was profitable and still very big.
In order to let the people really pay attention to the advertisements in the newspapers, Xiaobao also asked the merchants who advertised to sell things at a cost price by a merchant every day, but he needed the piece of paper in the newspaper.
Every place is different, the same is that there are discounts every day, so I will sell many newspapers every day, because after the people buy it, there is no loss at all. If you usually need to buy more things, you can still take advantage of it.
It not only allowed the people to receive more education, but also promoted the sales of goods, and at the same time made the newspaper distribution industry in North Korea profitable. And Xiaobao obviously could get more money in it, but he gave up all of it, not selfish, as for the country and the people. "
Gao Lishi praised him sincerely, and didn't mean that Xiaobao was his son.
"General Gao is right, Little Treasure..."
"Huh?" Li Longji made a questioning voice.
Li Ying quickly changed her words: "Zhang Xiaobao..."
"Huh?" Li Longji continued to question.
"Father, what do you want me to call? When Xiaobao telegrams me, he always writes the word'Xiaobao' in the end. I can't always say Zhang Jiedu, can I?" Li Ying said.
"Yeah!" Li Longji was affirmative this time.
Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at it as a name, it involves a lot of things, and ordinary people can call them Xiaobao and Cuckoo at will. Of course, officials are absolutely not allowed, they must be called official positions, unless you are an official or an elder who is recognized by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
It represents a kind of closeness, a kind of relationship, and even a kind of status and status in the officialdom. "Little Treasure, Cuckoo" is not so easy to call.
Li Ying is allowed to be called Xiaobao right now, this name is not easy to come by.
With a smile from the bottom of his heart, Li Ying said: "Xiaobao has indeed done a lot of good things. If they do something to their own people, I will be in danger at this moment. Xiaobao and the cuckoo first make their family rich, and then immediately Started to help me Tang Fuyu.
One thing I discovered is that the greater the power given to them, the better my life for the people. Many officials have money in their families, as well as businessmen, and the people are jealous, helpless, and resentful.
But when the child went out for a stroll, he never heard any common people say that Xiaobao and the cuckoo are not good. Don't they have money? They are truly wealthy and rival countries, and Xiaobao converges and converges, earning hundreds of millions of dollars each year. He has stopped expanding the family's business in the Tang Dynasty, but the people who work with them are expanding, so their money will only increase.
But the people still agree with them, why, Erchen thought, they make money in our country, and they earn upright. At the same time, a lot of money is needed to help the disaster-stricken areas every year. The disasters are the same as before, and they never end. The difference is that there were no Xiaobao and Juanjuan before.
Father, although every time they donate money in the name of the court, the people are not fools. What was the imperial government's policy on disaster areas in the past, and what is the speed of response now? "
"What speed?" Li Longji found out that the prince who really cared about him for the first time, Li Hong had never said so much before, and he was cautious, so he asked deliberately. I hope I can feel more family affection and language exchanges from my son.
Just like when I was with Xiaobei and the others, it wasn't that Xiaobei was right in everything, but that I cared about Xiaobei's caring feeling, even if he did something wrong, I looked shy and embarrassed. In the same way, he must give the correct result to that error.
Yes, what Xiaobei did is wrong, but shouldn't she give such a cute baby a support? Wrong is wrong, is it going to be beaten to death? Is it true that everything you have done in your whole life is right? Nothing is against your intentions
That's how Li Longji thought about it, so they are very conniving to Xiaobei, especially Xiaobei, hug you, and coquettishly clarify conditions with you. If you don't sign several unequal treaties, you will feel sorry for him. Cute, even if you have a sweet dream, you have to be awakened by guilt.
Li Ying waited for his father to think about it, and then said: "Half a month ago, Luzhou, Hedong Road, had been drought for more than 20 days. Fortunately, they wanted to grow soybeans, so they didn't worry about it at the beginning, but they kept going. Yu, so Li Xun approached me, and he is now in charge of the agriculture and industry of the entire Hedong Road.
He had already reported to the court before, but was suppressed by the Zhongshu Ling, and asked the locals to pray for rain. The etiquette of praying for rain was held in the local area, but it was still not enough.
While the children were thinking of a way, Xiaobao Transmission Industrial Research Institute asked them to move the things that were still being tested to Luzhou. That day, the clouds drifted horizontally from west to east as usual, but came from Qinzhou. The rumble of artillery fire immediately followed by rain in Luzhou.
That day was the last few days to sow the soybeans. I missed it. Don't even think about growing the soybeans, or even fail to plant them. On the third day after the rain, the well-drilling team from the Ministry of Industry Research came over.
Li Xun told me that he saw one bearing after another broken because of insufficient speed. Within a day, the institute still produced 142 wells in Luzhou, and the local drought situation was resolved.
This is the speed of Xiaobao and Juanjuan understood by the children. The momentum of the Dao Ting can not be overstated. One day rains and three days out of the well, so the people are now not afraid of the slowness of the imperial administrative order or the turmoil of the surrounding countries, and at the same time recognize Zhang Wang's family has countless wealth, and they are afraid that Xiaobao and Juanjuan abandon them. "
Li Ying talked about the support of the people of Datang to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and at the same time indicated that he also supported them.
But what he said made Li Longji and Gao Lishi unable to follow his train of thought anyway, and Li Ying, who the people supported, he knew even if he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Li Longji and Gao Lishi are considering... What can rain, this thing is more frightening than high-speed bearings. The bearing is not qualified, but the hardness is not good, and the arc of the ball is not accurate, which belongs to the industrial scope. Rainfall is different, which belongs to the scope of the gods.
"Hong'er, tell my father, how did it rain in Luzhou?" Li Longji grasped the crux of the problem.
"Fire, Xiaobao and Juanjuan let people fire artillery in Qinzhou in front of Luzhou, hit the clouds, and then the clouds fly to Luzhou and it rains, very simple, just bang for a while." Li Ying's eyes From time to time, he motioned Li Longji to look at what he brought, and said.
Li Longji no longer cared about the emperor's prestige, took a step closer to Li Ying, waved to Li Ying and slapped her head: "Are you stupid? This is rain, not simply a method of burning firewood to resist frost.
Don't I understand your father? The question is what is being marked up? You don’t think it’s the shells we use now, do you? That would be deadly. What stuff did the research institute send up? "
Only then did Li Ying react and shook her head: "I don’t know. I just heard that Li Xun gave Xiaobao a power generator for help. Xiaobao sent several orders in a row, so the Luzhou disaster was resolved. Dad, you Don’t you think Little Treasure is great?"
"Do you still need to tell whether Xiaobao is good or not? Go, go to the research institute and ask, oh, first go to say hello to Zhang Zhong, don’t think you are the prince, you can’t get in directly, you are really stopped by someone. If you are embarrassed, Zhang Zhong will also think you have an opinion."
Li Longji ordered.
"Yes, Erchen understands that it would be very miserable to provoke Zhang Zhong. If you scold Xiaobao, he might ignore you. If you scold him, then it's over." Li Ying understood very thoroughly.
Li Longji nodded, then focused his attention on the things his son brought, and asked, "What is this?"
"A big pressure cooker with wild boar knuckles and back knuckles was stewed in it for less than half an hour. It has been separated from the flesh and it is suitable for use in plateau areas." Li Ying replied.
Li Longji asked curiously: "Such a magical? Good thing, it should be a special project."
"Father, there is no need to establish a project. This is a by-product of the steam engine." Li Ying introduced with a smile.
