Li Er was a great emperor. To describe him as one emperor throughout the ages may be a bit exaggerated, but he must be one of the top five emperors in Chinese history.
What Li Er did was to build the building first, starting with the second and third floors, and then laying a foundation on one side to prepare for the first floor. This approach, according to Li Yuanxing, was unscientific.
However, Datang can no longer use science to evaluate it.
Why can a steam engine be built by thousands of craftsmen?
Moreover, when even the spring technology was not qualified, the steam engine appeared.
"Brother Emperor, I need people!" Li Yuanxing suddenly spoke.
Li Er shook his head: "Brother, I don't care. You are the King of Qin. You can find a solution to this problem yourself."
"I understand!" Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded.
Li Yuanxing's smile made Li Er feel a little unnatural, and he asked with a cold face: "Tell me, what do you understand?"
"The emperor is the emperor. This is an easy thing to do. The emperor nodded. This is a trouble that the emperor cannot solve. My brother is the King of Qin." Li Yuanxing was really bold. He said these words without any hesitation. Li Er
But he didn't get angry and smiled: "The population problem is a big problem. Brother Huang really can't do anything about it. So, I will only do you one favor, which is to cancel the capitation tax."
"Should my brother make up this amount of money twice as much?"
"No, you can bring these to my brother from the Seventh Family. You have a way!" Li Er smiled and took a sip of tea.
Li Yuanxing nodded silently. It seemed that this was feasible, but there was also a problem: "Brother Emperor, this steel-making method will not flow out, but what will happen if a large amount of steel flows to a foreign country?"
"What will happen?" Li Er laughed loudly.
Suddenly, Li Er's face turned cold: "Wu Lang, you have 10,000 jins of fine steel, what will you do if your enemy has 10 million jins of fine steel? What is a prosperous age? A prosperous age means that even if the enemy cannot see you, you have one soldier and one soldier.
, I can’t see that you have a sword, but you are trembling with fear, that train, I am happy for my brother, very happy!”
"Then I'm going to be bold again. I'm going to make paper money. The originally worthless paper money will be consistent when it's printed on it. But before that, I'm going to make silver coins and gold coins."
"Brother Wei doesn't care, I won't even ask. You go and convince the Ministry of Revenue yourself. Brother Wei wants a railway. It takes two years. No matter where you go to build it, I want to see it, and I want to tour it!" Li Er said this
That's just a scoundrel.
Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders and stopped mentioning these government affairs.
"Brother Emperor, how do those purple sweet potatoes taste?"
Mentioning the purple sweet potato, Li Er's eyes lit up: "Good, very good. It's delicious whether steamed or baked. The imperial kitchen grinds it into powder and makes even more delicious snacks. My brother also likes the purple sweet potato porridge."
The only pity is that the yield is too low. According to Mingyue, the yield of sweet potatoes with yellow hearts and red skins is several times, even close to ten times, this!"
"Brother, the emperor's food cannot be the same as that of the common people. The King of Qin's village grows hundreds of acres, which is enough to reward him."
"Wulang, the sweet potato yield of six thousand jin per mu will be harvested in less than ten days. What do you think?" Li Er likes this output. With this output, can the Tang Dynasty still have enough to eat? Develop grain
, there is no need to put it on the agenda at all, it is enough to let all officials see this property.
Draw cakes as an emperor!
Li Yuanxing suddenly had a deeper understanding of politics.
clever!
I have to admit that Li Er's skill has surpassed that of previous emperors, and he is crazier than Yang Guang.
Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Yang Er of the Sui Dynasty have many similarities.
First, they were all born into official families and were "children of high-ranking officials." Their fathers were important ministers of the previous dynasty and held a pivotal position in the court. The most important thing is that they all received excellent consideration when they were young.
Second, they are not of pure Han ancestry, their mothers are all Xianbei.
Third, they are both elder brothers. After Laozi became emperor, it was their eldest brother who was made the prince, and they were named kings (one is the King of Jin and the other is the King of Qin, which are not far apart).
Fourth, their little looks are not bad. They can all be said to be handsome guys.
Fifth, they are all smart and capable. They were all brave and good at fighting in the battles when their father founded the country and made many military exploits, so they were highly valued by their father.
Sixth, they all adopted extraordinary measures to finally ascend to the throne. Li Shimin had the "Xuanwumen Incident", and Yang Guang was also suspected of patricide.
And the seventh point is that Li Yuanxing knew that these two people had great ambitions, and their ambitions were as violent as fire.
The only difference, in Li Yuanxing's eyes, is that Yang Erxiang drives a super-fast sports car, but it has no braking system, and the steering wheel is not very good. It seems that the headlights often don't light up. Not to mention the GPS
Such high-end stuff.
Li Er is different, he is self-disciplined. Although his lust is not much worse than Yang Er, his sports car is more powerful than Yang Er, but it has a full set of reservations, controls, brakes, and even...
High-end stuff like ABS.
Li Yuanxing laughed as he thought about it.
Li Er also laughed: "Wu Lang, I feel like you are plotting against me!"
If an emperor said such words, he would probably kill someone. But Li Er said it in the name of his brother. At this time, he was not the emperor, and he had never claimed to be the emperor in front of Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing laughed: "Give me a privilege. Within two years, I will build a railway to Taiyuan. Of course, if you are lucky enough, you can build another one to the west."
"Tell me about it?"
"It's very simple, the right to run a school! Students taught by my brother must join the court and become officials!"
"This is not a privilege. Those taught by Wulang are all great talents!" Li Er did not realize that Li Yuanxing was seeking benefits for himself, but that he was doing hard work for him.
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Okay, let's exchange for another privilege. Brother Emperor, train first-class farmers and first-class craftsmen. Brother Emperor, you must know that one acre of land can produce three times as much food as others. This is what you are capable of. That train track, I am here to help you."
In my eyes, it is just scrap iron. The first length of a first-class rail must be thirty-five feet, and all dimensions must be consistent. The one-foot-long rails used now are simply scrap iron!"
"How about thirty-five feet?"
"If you want to go fast, you have to be steady. The more steady you run, the less effort you have on the front of the car and the faster it will be. Now it's one hundred and sixty miles an hour. I'm afraid the real peak speed is beyond the imagination of the emperor."
"Ten times?" Li Er's eyes lit up.
"Can't reach it!" Li Yuanxing shook his head, and Li Er's eyes were obviously disappointed. But at this time, Li Yuanxing said: "Nine times is still okay!"
Li Er's expression changed. He picked up the cup and hit Li Yuanxing. But when he saw that the set of cups was his favorite, he quickly put down the cup and went to find other things. But Li Yuanxing had already retreated to the door of the study: "Brother Huang
, my brother resigned. Five days later, Qin Wangzhuang invited the emperor to come and harvest sweet potatoes in the summer!"
More than a dozen stamps flew out, and Li Er smiled happily as he watched Li Yuanxing escape.
When Li Yuanxing returned to Qinwangzhuang, it was already dark and the princesses were waiting at the main entrance to greet him.
"No more false courtesy. I am tired." Li Yuanxing got off his horse and reached out to help the princesses. Then he looked at Wu Zhao, who was biting a lollipop and looking at Li Yuanxing with a half-smile. Li Yuanxing
He walked up to Wu Zhao, put his hand on Wu Zhao's shoulders and said, "You guys go back first. I will return to the backyard in half an hour."
"Yes!" The girls were a little jealous.
However, because Wu Zhao was only four years old, he endured it.
Returning to the study, Li Yuanxing closed the door and said: "This time, you played too much. There shouldn't be a steam engine so early. It would be better a year or two later in the evening!"
"Do you think I should explain, admit my mistake, or tell my reasons?"
Facing Wu Zhao's rhetorical question, Li Yuanxing tapped his forehead: "Okay, give me a reason. I only want one, what was your initial idea? In fact, I also thought about using steam engines, but my idea is to give them
Let them learn a principle. But you directly give them a model and ask them to make it according to it!"
"One reason is that the water power is no longer enough to drive your steel plant. You know how unstable the water power is during the dry season. This reason is my original reason!"
Li Yuanxing agreed with Wu Zhao's explanation that the hydraulic power of such a huge stamping machine was already too demanding.
"Another reason is, do you really know the potential of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty? Do you really know what they mastered? In other words, why do you think they can build a steam engine by following the model? In a word, they mastered the principle.
Steam is just a power source, the real essence lies in the lever!"
"You have convinced me, but our great emperor is putting pressure on me."
"I can guess it!" Wu Zhao studied history and knew exactly how ambitious Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was.
"Monetary system, how much can you help me?" Li Yuanxing asked directly about the topic.
Wu Zhao shook his head gently: "The power of one person is too little, unless you let me borrow hundreds of officials from the Ministry."
"No problem, don't forget, who am I?" Li Yuanxing smiled. But the smile froze on his face, and he immediately asked Wu Zhao: "Why, why have you never mentioned improving currency?"
"Two reasons, one is the credit side of the currency, and the other is who the currency is issued for!"
Wu Zhao's words caused Li Yuanxing to reflect.
"It seems that I need to read some economics books!"
"That's right, but I can teach you something, as long as you pay the tuition?"
Li Yuanxing got very excited when he heard the word tuition.
Is Wu Zhao short of money? The answer is no, she is already the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no one else.
This girl knew what she was planning, and Li Yuanxing felt an inexplicable pressure. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
