After several months of operation, coupled with Zhao Wensheng's vigorous promotion, the industrial city was changing rapidly at this time. It not only rebuilt various previous industries, but also expanded the printing industry to an unprecedented scale through Chang'an Daily.
In Qinjiazhuang, Xue Yuanchao was amazed by the neat blue brick houses on both sides. Thanks to the brick-making technology invented by His Majesty, the people of Qinjiazhuang were able to live in high-quality houses in advance at a low cost. And after visiting
, he found that the wages here were generally more than twice as high as those outside.
Corresponding to the labor price, the productivity of Industrial City and Qinjiazhuang is much higher than that of craftsmen outside. For example, in the case of printing, at the Chang'an Daily Mansion, the experts sent by the Industry Department can produce about 10,000 sheets a day.
Newspapers, with the same manpower, the industrial city can produce at least 30,000 to 50,000, thus creating a gap in production between skilled hands and machines.
Under the guidance of Zhao Wenshu, he met Jia Youcai, Huang Lao, Zhang Long, Qingfeng Mingyue and others. He listened to their stories one by one. After learning the origin of Qingfeng Mingyue, his eyes became even hotter.
Before coming to Chang'an, although he had occasionally heard about His Majesty's heroic achievements, this was the first time he had heard about the three men killing ten thousand bandits and rescuing so many civilian women.
But it’s not his fault. After all, these were considered secrets before the founding of the Han Dynasty. Qin Huaidao also asked them not to tell others to avoid being hated by others. Now that the Han Dynasty has been established, His Majesty has gone out to kill fifty thousand bandits. Before his great achievements, this little secret is considered
Let’s contribute to His Majesty’s wisdom.
After hearing the stories of these people, Xue Yuanchao first asked the painter to depict the entire scene of the place, and then took several people from the newspaper office to record the moments when the craftsmen were working. After handling everything, he returned to Chang'an.
Then came an unprecedented report.
In the latest issue of Chang'an Daily, there is an article called "Industrial City: Scenery of Future City Development and Innovation", which describes in detail the various prosperity and efficient production he saw in the industrial city, and at the same time combines what the artist said
The painting is placed as an accompanying picture in the article and becomes one of the contents.
In addition, the article also looked into the future, vividly describing the scene ten or twenty years after the completion of the industrial city, which aroused discussions among many students and families.
Pei Xianzhu of the Guoyuefu got the Chang'an Daily and immediately paid attention to her. Although she was a female generation, he also cared about every move of the majestic man who admired her at the state banquet and brought her great honor.
.
"Your Majesty's industrial city is not the product of one day, but is actually the foundation of thousands of generations. In this city, all kinds of production far exceed that of ordinary craftsmen, and the money income can also be increased several times. In Qinjiazhuang, everyone can live in it.
In the big blue brick house, eating the best meat, drinking Zhenguan drunkenness, working at sunrise, and enjoying yourself at sunset, it's like wandering into a paradise."
While listening to Pei Xianzhu reading the contents of the daily newspaper, Shangguan Yi sighed.
"The Industrial City is an important city built by His Majesty himself. The people inside are as happy as those of the powerful people in Chang'an."
Pei Xianzhu said with a smile: "Why are you sighing, Mr. Shangguan? If you know that the people in Chengzhuang are all old members of the Qin family, those who were unable to support themselves in the early years after being discharged from the army, the poor women who were saved by your Majesty from the bandits, and many others who have left for a living."
For ordinary people who work at home and earn a little money to support their families, you will know how much impact your Majesty's city has brought to these prominent families."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up: "Is what Miss Pei said true?"
Pei Xianzhu smiled and said, "We have known each other for more than a few months, but have you ever seen me making a joke with you?"
Shangguan Yi, who was determined in his heart, could not help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly. The joy in his heart was difficult to describe in words.
"Haha, that's it, that's it. If this is used as a case to spread to the whole Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be true as His Majesty said in the newspaper, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, everyone has a job, and everyone has a place to live.
Big tile-roofed house? If such a prosperous country can really be realized, maybe the ideal country where everyone is equal that His Majesty talks about can really be realized."
Pei Xianzhu couldn't help but look into the distance.
She remembered the tragic situation in her childhood. If she hadn't met Sister Qingfeng on the first floor, she would not have been bullied in any prominent family at this moment. It was Sister Qingfeng who taught him skills from a young age that made her one of the best in Chang'an.
The courtesan kept her chastity and had the opportunity to show off her skills at the state banquet, attracting His Majesty's attention. She became the leader of the national music palace, leading the world's music to a different world.
His Majesty is working hard for his ideals, so they should do something for His Majesty.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yi.
"Mr. Shangguan, His Majesty once said in a column in Chang'an Daily that to build a country and an era where everyone is equal, everyone needs to work together. Let us do something for this."
Shangguan Yi was shocked and looked at this strange woman who was as beautiful as a giant.
"you mean?"
"The piece of music that Your Majesty commissioned last time, "My Big Man and Me," has a wonderful beauty both in style and meaning. It was loved by many young people when I was teaching at the Chinese Music House. It's just that it's difficult to sing alone. Mr. Shangguan, it's not as good as
How about you and I work together to create and expand this new style of music, so that the Han people can form a trend and at the same time convey His Majesty's thoughts to many people?" Pei Xianzhu turned to look at Shangguan Yi with a twinkling expression.
That ideal is currently only the ideal of His Majesty and a few people, but if everyone sings and praises it, it may speed up the realization of the ideal.
Regardless of whether they are common people or officials, workers or dignitaries, everyone is born equal, which means there will be no more oppression and no more suffering. Rich men with huge fortunes can sit and talk with people who live in poverty, and high-ranking officials can enter the common people.
Just like ordinary people, they don't have any privileges.
At this moment, Shangguan Yi was thinking a lot.
He seemed to have seen that beautiful world. Countless poems and words kept pouring out in his mind, forming ideas and characters beating in his thoughts. They were like elusive elves, sometimes jumping up and down, sometimes arranged neatly, and like some
The mysterious power reflects the light of that era here, and tells the story of the future through Shangguan Yi's mouth.
When looking into Pei Xianzhu's eyes again, Shangguan Yi nodded resolutely.
"A new style of music? I understand, then let's label this matter as the 'New Age National Style', and let you and I use His Majesty's ideas to set off a completely different wave."
After finalizing the matter of the new era's national customs, Shangguan Yi immediately bid farewell to Pei Xianzhu. He wanted to immediately record the flash of inspiration in his mind. As a literati, he knew that such flash of inspiration was fleeting. If he did not record it with pen and paper immediately, it would be very difficult.
It will dissipate soon.
Who would have thought that on a calm and uneventful day, a certain madman would encounter the brilliance of enlightenment.
