Great Tang princess

Chapter 664 Preparation for Economic Takeoff

Since the telegram was connected, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood the horror of technological products.

Especially the cabinet that is in charge of handling most of the country's affairs now has a very clear understanding of it.

Now he is obviously in Dongdu, but the speed of dealing with the affairs of Chang'an is the same as that of Dongdu, or even faster.

Such an efficient new invention really shocked the ministers.

But this is also good, that is, going to Chang'an to be an official is also a good choice.

After all, in the feudal era, only by being an official under the eyes of the emperor can one ensure that one can stay in the power center of the empire at all times.

But with the telegram, even in Chang'an, you can quickly learn about what happened in Dongdu, even faster, so why not do it?

In fact, this belongs to the cognitive barrier of the ancients. After all, Chang'an was originally the capital of the country, so it is naturally different from other places.

But Li Yuechen didn't bother to care about how they used them, as long as the efficiency was really improved.

At the end of May, the summer vacation is about to enter, and the children are getting excited every day, discussing with each other where to go on vacation.

Even Li Longji came to apply to Li Yuechen, saying that he wanted to go to Yizhou to see pandas during the summer vacation.

Anyway, there is such a convenient thing as an airship now, and the speed of the trip in the past was also fast, and there are already prerequisites for long-distance travel.

However, this request was rejected by Li Yuechen.

Just kidding, after all, there is a border, so many royal children have passed by, if Tubo seizes the opportunity to do something, the royal family may be cut off because of it.

So unless she was protecting her, she would not dare to let these royal children go out casually.

As for wanting to pet pandas, Li Yuechen promised to take them to Yizhou with them during the winter vacation at the end of the year.

In fact, Chang'an can also play with pandas, and Qinling also has pandas.

But the pandas there are different from those in Yizhou.

The pandas in Yizhou have been trained by Li Yuechen himself. They know the horror of human beings, and they will not attack humans now.

But it's different on the Qinling Mountains, they are all pure wild. If this group of royal children went up the mountain rashly to play, if they were injured, it would be very troublesome.

Pandas are bears after all, and their fighting power is far superior to that of humans, so it's better not to approach them lightly.

……

After the summer vacation, because he didn't have to go to class, Li Yuechen had a lot more free time.

So I wrote a plan at home and went to the palace to show my mother.

In Jixian Hall, Wu Zetian was drinking tea while looking at the plan written by his daughter.

Although this horizontal format from left to right looks a little awkward, but after getting used to it, it feels more comfortable.

And Li Yuechen was sitting there eating cakes while playing Shuanglu with Shangguan Wan'er.

In fact, she wanted to play Go, but Shangguan Wan'er refused to play with her.

But Shangguan Wan'er was also very helpless about this. After all, His Highness is so bad at chess, she doesn't even know how to release the water if she wants to.

Everyone in the entire imperial family knew that Li Yuechen's chess skills were beyond the realm of possibility, only she herself didn't know that, and thought that her chess skills were not bad.

After a while, Wu Zetian finished reading the plan. She put down her teacup and was a little puzzled: "You want to abolish Fangshi? Just like other states and counties?"

In fact, only Chang'an and Dongdu implement the Fangshi system at present, and other cities do not have it.

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's right, Auntie can see it now, right? Economic development is the foundation for the country's progress, and the court can become richer and richer."

"Do you know why the Fangshi system was established?"

"Of course I know, but economic development is more important, right?" Li Yuechen asked rhetorically.

Wu Zetian frowned: "But if the Fangshi system is abolished, in terms of public security..."

"So it can't be abolished immediately. It is better to train the Jinwu Guard and bad people first, and use it as an institution to maintain law and order in the future."

Of course, Li Yuechen also thought of this, so the Fangshi cannot be abolished immediately, and the consequences must be considered and dealt with.

"Since you've made up your mind, go ahead. How can I help you, my mother?"

"This matter is simple and doesn't require any effort from Auntie." Li Yuechen smiled.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly: "Okay, then you can do it."

The emperor nodded in agreement, and there was no problem with this matter.

So at the beginning of June, Li Yuechen integrated the Jinwu Guard and the bad guys, announcing that they would be responsible for the security issues of Dongdu and Chang'an in the future.

At the same time, people conveyed her meaning to the following. After becoming civil servants, although the imperial court pays them a good salary and good treatment, there are many rules, and those who don't want to do it should go back to farm as soon as possible.

In fact, no one wants to do it, and the name of Princess Taiping is here.

Many people have squeezed their heads to enter the army. Now that the opportunity is here, how can they not seize it?
The Jinwu Guard is like this, let alone bad people.

The so-called bad people, as the name suggests, are actually not good people.

They exist because there are not so many people in prisons in this era.

After all, prisoners also have to eat, and eating means spending money.

Therefore, the imperial court made some people with relatively minor crimes into bad people and was responsible for maintaining law and order.

Bad people are not paid, and they work for nothing, which is equivalent to serving a sentence to a certain extent.

But at the same time, this group of bad people is the first batch of civil servants who have been converted from criminals, and they will also be the last batch.

Anyway, the imperial court has enough tax revenue now, and all criminals will be thrown into prisons in the future, and this situation will not happen again.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also planned to tell Dali Temple that all criminals should be dragged out to work.

Anyway, the whole country is still building roads, which is the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

Criminals, like hired workers, work four hours a day, but without wages, just let them have enough to eat.

At the same time, those who behave well in the prison can also have their sentences reduced, but this rule does not apply to criminals such as intentional homicide.

As for the title of bad person, it was also abolished by Li Yuechen.

From now on, they will be collectively referred to as "catch the fast", that is, the police of this era.

As for the Jinwu Guard, it is a special organization similar to the armed police, responsible for handling some special incidents.

Of course, in this era, there is no way to divide them too carefully, so they will also take into account the work of special police.

Afterwards, the assembled policemen and Jinwuwei were thrown into Qianniuwei by Li Yuechen for training.

Of course, this training mode is not the same as that of the army. It is mainly responsible for arresting prisoners, rescuing hostages, and solving crimes.

There is no need to expect them to be able to train them to be as powerful policemen in the future, but as they are passed on from generation to generation, they will always become more and more powerful.

Moreover, in ancient times, there were many things that people in the future could not imagine, such as solving crimes.

In this era, someone can see the footprints with the naked eye, and can tell the height, weight, gender, and approximate age of the person who left the footprints.

From Li Yuechen's point of view, this kind of mysterious ability should be passed on as much as possible.

But it seems that it is also because of the gradual development of technology that this kind of human ability has been replaced, right?
There are also some seemingly inconceivable cases in the athlete's circle.

There is a little girl on Yingjiang's side. Her father is a rock climber and took her up and down since she was a child.

Just because he has been climbing up and down since he was two or three years old, the child's fingers are longer and stronger than normal.

Not only can you do pull-ups with only one finger, but you can even grab the gaps between brick walls and climb up.

The potential of human beings is actually infinite, the key is to see how to develop and use it.

……

The news of the reorganization of the Jinwu Guard and bad people soon appeared in the newspapers, indicating that the law and order in Chang'an and Dongdu will soon become better.

And some smart people have already guessed the reason behind it. After all, there must be a reason for suddenly saying that law and order should be strengthened.

Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is unlikely that it is for the defense of foreign enemies, so there are only internal issues left.

The most likely one is to cancel the curfew, because once the curfew is lifted, there will definitely be more sneaky things, and it should be to prevent this.

After understanding the mysteries, many people started to take action, buying land and houses in various cities.

Li Yuechen who received the news couldn't help sighing, indeed, there is no shortage of smart people anywhere.

But this at least shows that business in the capital will definitely become more prosperous in the future, which is also good news.

But there is something not so good in this news, that is, these people who bought land and houses were basically from aristocratic families, and they used some improper means.

Let's say it broke the law, but it didn't break the law, but it was somewhat of a marginal nature.

Li Yuechen is not worried about this, anyway, after the Tubo matter is settled and the tax system is reformed, these big families will not be able to jump around for long.

It's not that the existence of aristocratic families is not allowed. In fact, the existence of big families is beneficial, at least in terms of cultural inheritance.

But it is absolutely impossible for these big clans to turn themselves into parasites of the country by relying on the merits of their ancestors during the founding of the country.

Relying on the title of title without paying taxes, the land is constantly annexed, and the state's finances are all on the bottom of the people. This kind of thing must change in the future.

Not right now, mainly because the army has to prepare for the Tubo war in a few years, and there is no time to talk to them, so let them play first.

In fact, this is not only a matter of businessmen, but also many officials.

At the end of June, brothers Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi came to the Princess Mansion with a bunch of gifts.

The two followed Xiaodong who came out to greet her into the Princess Mansion, and sat down in the main hall.

After a while, they heard a sound of "clicking", and the two got up quickly.

This was the sound of clogs stepping on the floor, and after a while, Li Yuechen's figure appeared in front of the two of them.

At home today, Li Yuechen didn't wear a big red round neck robe as usual.

It's a loose long skirt, and the upper body is a long vest with exposed arms.

There is no way, the weather is hot, wearing a skirt is indeed much cooler than trousers, and the two arms are exposed, which is somewhat ventilated.

The two hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Your Highness!"

"The two cousins ​​are free!"

Li Yuechen raised his hand, and then sat on the chair: "The two cousins ​​came in, what's your business?"

"Don't dare," Wu Chengsi said with a smile on his face, "I came here this time to ask for your Highness. The two of us have a sworn brother of the opposite sex, and I want to borrow your Highness's materials and craftsmen to build a taller building... ..."

This kind of words is basically similar to the opening of "my friend..." in the future, and Li Yuechen can naturally hear it.

"I don't know this brother of my cousin, what is the purpose of building a tall building?" Li Yuechen asked.

Wu Sansi replied: "I plan to open a restaurant. A few days ago, I found a person with excellent cooking skills..."

It is normal to find people with superb cooking skills. Now that iron pots and stir-fry dishes have gradually become popular, it is normal for some talented chefs to appear.

It seems that the two also guessed that the Fangshi system was about to be abolished, and planned to make a fortune by then.

It doesn't matter if you want to make money. Li Yuechen thinks it's okay to borrow their people and materials if it doesn't violate the principle, but there are still some things that need to be clarified.

"I don't know where this restaurant is going to open? How high is it?" Li Yuechen asked.

Wu Chengsi replied: "Just find a suitable place near Nanshi, and I want to build five floors!"

"no!"

Li Yuechen refused without thinking.

"Your Highness, this..."

"Nanshi has a five-story building, and you can see the palace with a telescope from the top of the building. Does cousin know how serious this matter is?" Li Yuechen asked.

"This……"

Hearing this sentence, Wu Chengsi didn't dare to speak.

Is the imperial palace visible to ordinary people?To put it more seriously, when we see problems such as changing the defense of the palace, if an assassin invades and sneaks in, the consequences will be very serious.

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "If my cousin wants to build a high-rise building, why not open this restaurant in Chang'an, as long as it is not near Dongshi, not to mention five floors, seven floors are fine, how about it?"

The urban structure of Chang'an is different. Tai Chi Palace has become a purely administrative institution, while Daming Palace is strictly speaking outside Chang'an City.

So as long as it is not near Dongshi, even if you build a seven-story building, you don't have to worry about seeing the palace.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi looked at each other, then nodded to each other.

In the past, it would have been impossible to drive to Chang'an, after all, the center of the country was in Dongdu.

But now the two places are very convenient in terms of information transmission and transportation. It is not impossible for this restaurant to open in Dongdu.

The key is that the two of them are reluctant to part with this height. After all, such a tallest restaurant will definitely make many people willing to come to eat, and it can become a feature.

But what Li Yuechen said made sense, it is impossible to allow tall buildings near the palace, if you want to build tall buildings, you have to go to Chang'an.

"That's fine." Wu Chengsi said with a smile, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Your Highness for help."

"It's okay, I'm happy to be able to help my cousin." Li Yuechen followed suit with a few polite words.

Although Li Yuechen didn't like these two cousins, he didn't hate them either.

People are a bit of a waste, but they have never done anything that angers others. They belong to the kind of people who make up numbers in the world.

But this can't be blamed on them. After all, there is such a terrifying aunt as the emperor. If something goes too far, it will inevitably end up with a head on the ground.

After all... how their father died, neither of them dare to forget.

After the two left, Li Yuechen sent someone to the Engineering Academy to spread the word, asking them to help build a five-story building in Chang'an.

Next, the country's economy is about to take off.
