This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 526 Volume Five Li Er's Ambition!
Although Xu Jingzong's character can't be flattered, this guy still has abilities.

However, in just a few days, dozens of workshops in Water River County began to operate normally.

Of course, this is also thanks to the cooperation of the craftsmen he brought. For this reason, he paid these craftsmen a huge amount of remuneration, even higher than the wages of Chang'an craftsmen.

"Lang Jun, don't some craftsmen need to be treated so kindly?" The old servant asked a little puzzled after coming out of a workshop.

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we didn't pay for the left and right."

When it comes to being generous to others, Xu Jingzong does not feel any pressure at all.

Moreover, he can win the hearts of these craftsmen by the way, so why not do it.

"But if you do this, if someone makes trouble in Chang'an in the future..." The old servant was a little worried, "After all, those guys from the gentry have been looking for opportunities..."

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Chang'an? Now His Majesty is vigorously promoting industry. At this time, don't we want to stand with those gentry?"

If you must choose a thigh to hug, Xu Jingzong will definitely choose Li Er's thigh.

Besides, the people of the gentry originally looked down on him, and if they offended him, they would offend him.

"You issue a notice on behalf of me." Xu Jingzong said, "From now on, dozens of workshops in Piaohe County are recruiting apprentices. After three months of study, they can participate in the craftsman assessment. Once they pass the assessment, they can enjoy the treatment of junior craftsmen. "

Although he has recruited a lot of people in the past few days, the number of workers needed by dozens of craftsmen is not a star and a half, and he really wants to become bigger and stronger. If this is the case, the number of people needed will be huge.

"How many apprentices does each workshop recruit?" the old servant asked.

Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, the more the better! Since His Majesty wants to start an industrial reform in the Tang Dynasty, as a minister, I naturally have to respond.

There are only dozens of workshops, but nothing can be changed. One day, the old man will let all the workshops in Datang come to me.

Watering River County is just a starting point for the old man to display his ambitions! "

In the afternoon of that day, Xu Jingzong's old servant posted several notices in Taozhou City to recruit apprentices for various workshops.

For a while, it attracted a lot of discussion among the people in the entire Taozhou city.

"Can I get the treatment of a junior craftsman in three months?" An old man said, "I heard that even a junior craftsman's monthly salary is hundreds of dollars! This is much better than guarding that one-third of an acre of land."

"My father's words are wrong." Xu Jingzong's old servant who happened to be standing next to the notice said, "According to Xu Juncheng's previous explanation, my workshop in Piaohe County, even the lowest-level craftsmen, has a consistent amount of money every month. There is one more day in the month to rest and bathe.

During the busy farming season, there are also agricultural holidays. After all, the land is what we are waiting for. Delaying anything can not delay the spring sowing and autumn harvest.Of course, if you are willing to stay in the workshop to work during the busy farming season, the workshop will give double the monthly allowance.

After all, we can't lose to the people of Water River County. "

"Is there really such a good thing?" As soon as the old servant said this, many people were immediately moved.

The treatment in this workshop is no longer bad.

You know, in this bitterly cold place in the northwest, if you only count on planing food from the ground, then it is really a gift from God. If there are other ways to earn even a little bit, it can also share a lot for the family.

"I don't know if the little old man can enter the workshop." At that moment, an old man asked.

Upon hearing his words, everyone waited for the old servant's answer, if this old man could enter the workshop, they would naturally be able to enter too.

After all, there are only a few days of busy farming every year, so there is nothing wrong with earning more money for the family in your spare time.

Hearing this, the old servant smiled and said, "Old man is joking, this workshop is still physical labor after all, and after three months, there will be an assessment. For the old man, it is indeed a disadvantage."

As he said that, the old servant pointed to the notice and said, "The notice clearly states that the apprentices recruited by the workshop must be under the age of 25. If they know some craftsman skills, the age can be relaxed appropriately.

But the old man doesn't have to be discouraged, although the workshop can't recruit the old man, but the old man's grandson will definitely be able to enter the workshop. "

After listening to the old servant, everyone immediately understood, but they were not disappointed.

It is inevitable to ask for such a generous treatment. At that moment, everyone began to discuss it heatedly.

Not far away, under the protection of a group of guards, Changsun Wuji was sitting in a teahouse drinking tea and looking over there with a faint smile on his face.

Not long after, Zhang Sunfu came back from there and briefly introduced what happened there.

Changsun Wuji heard the words and said with a smile: "The old man is right, Xu Jingzong is quite capable. This matter must be left to him."

Changsun Wuji has nothing dissatisfied with Xu Jingzong's work. An ambitious person who wants to climb up will naturally seize every opportunity.

He wanted to support Li Er, but he didn't want to offend those fellows of the gentry prematurely, so Xu Jingzong was a good general to charge into battle.

With Xu Jingzong at the front, he has more room to maneuver.

"Lang Jun, what should we do next?" Changsun Fu asked.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and said: "Well, in the name of Taohe County, a Taohe business is established. It is estimated that Xu Jingzong's workshop will be established in a short time. At that time, someone must help him. It's about selling these things.

After all, building so many workshops is not just to make money.

The land in Piaohe County is barren. If the people in this land want to live a good life, they really have to find another way.

By the way, you can contact the caravan passing through Water River County and tell them that if Daming can sell it to them, I, Water River County can also sell it to them.

After intercepting this group of caravans, I want to see how confident Daming is in negotiating with us about trade ports. "

The reason why he procrastinated to discuss the trade port with Daming Royal Court was because he felt that his hole cards were not enough. Now, he dare not say that he has all the workshops in Daming, but at least he has a certain bargaining chip. Naturally, I have more confidence.

"The old servant will make arrangements now." Zhang Sun Fu said immediately.

But after finishing speaking, Changsun Fu seemed hesitant to speak.

"Just tell me what you want." Seeing his appearance, Changsun Wuji immediately asked.

"Lang Jun, Xu Jingzong paid such a high monthly rate for the craftsmen, isn't it..." Changsun Fu said, "Although we didn't get a penny from it, after all, it is the imperial court's money. If it is taken by someone with a heart... "

"That's it?" Changsun Wuji waved his hands after hearing the words, and said, "It's okay, Piaohe County is already poor, and this is what is taken from the people and used by the people.

Remember, as long as the money is spent on the people, His Majesty will stand by us no matter how those people impeach. Don't forget, these people are His Majesty's people after all. "

……

At the same time, Chang'an.

Since Li Er's birthday banquet was over, he ordered someone to place the sand table Li Chengqian sent him in his study. In his spare time, he would always look at it twice.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei sent a letter saying that they will arrive in Chang'an in a few days." Just as Li Er was looking at the sand table in a daze, a servant came to report.

Only then did Li Er recover from his trance, and said with a smile: "According to the days, they should indeed come back.

Inform the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the triumphant return of the army. "

If he was a little excited about Li Jing and others taking down Xue Yantuo at the beginning, but after seeing the sand table sent by Li Chengqian, he has become a bit dull about Xue Yantuo.

After finishing speaking, Li Er turned his attention to the sand table again, and said to himself: "Why doesn't such a rich land belong to my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chengqian's sand table indeed aroused his desire for the fertile land in Southeast Asia.

Seeing this, the waiter smiled and left.

And when Li Xiaogong received Li Er's oral order, he was taken aback for a moment.

Li Jing and his army returned triumphantly, and Li Er actually took them over with a light sentence, which was quite different from Li Er's excitement back then.

"It seems that His Majesty is no longer satisfied with a little Xue Yantuo." Li Xiaogong shook his head and said helplessly.

"My lord, what are the specifications for welcoming the triumphant army?" the official from the Ministry of Rituals asked.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Of course it is according to the highest standard of the army's triumphant return."

Don't look at Li Er's appearance that he doesn't seem to pay much attention to the triumphant return of Li Jing's army, but the etiquette that should be there can't go wrong.

Moreover, Li Er felt a little boring just because he saw the rich land in Southeast Asia. Not fertile land.

In the final analysis, it is just the meat that has been eaten in the bowl, and it is not fragrant in an instant.

The next day, the news that Li Jing led the army back to the north was widely spread in Chang'an City. For a while, the common people in Chang'an City also looked proud.

The Ministry of Rites is also making intensive preparations to welcome the news of the army's return to the north.

Of course, Li Er was not idle, and called Fang Xuanling and others to discuss matters in Liangyi Hall early in the morning.

There is only one topic today, and that is the future governance of Xue Yantuo, who has already laid down.

When it came to this issue, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo had another fierce quarrel. One supported the use of barbarians to control the barbarians, and the other firmly believed that the Han people would move inland and the Han people go north. Anyway, the two did not agree on this issue.

"Okay." Li Er saw that the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and smiled, "How to govern Xue Yantuo, we might as well learn from it.

It is actually not good to simply control barbarians with barbarians.

The former Sui Dynasty is the best example. So many prefectures, what happened in the end?These alien races, once relieved, they will always find a way to make a comeback.

History has proved this problem countless times.

It is not my wish to surrender for a short time but to bring disaster to future generations!

And insisting on letting the foreign race go south, the foreign race may be dissatisfied, and it is also very easy to reproduce disasters, which is not a good strategy.

What Gao Ming did in Riyue Mountain opened up a new way of thinking for me. "

"Your Majesty wants to mix sand?" Fang Xuanling said, "If that's the case, it's actually possible."

"Sand mixed?" Li Er shook his head, stood up and smiled boldly, and said, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land? Then why can't the people of other races be my people?"

Hearing Li Er's words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and everyone immediately understood Li Er's meaning.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Li Er continued: "The decree is to set up Yanran's Protectorate in Xue Yantuo's old place, and Su Guogong will be the Governor.

It's too petty to use barbarians to control barbarians, to restrain the state capital, and to go south!

Since I am the Son of Heaven, everyone in the world is my subject!
In the past, Yinan was a disaster for Yanran, but now that Yinan is being punished, the most urgent task is to appease people's hearts!
Pass the decree to Su Guogong, you must handle this matter well.

Except for Su Guogong, Yanran's Protectorate Mansion, as assigned by officials, will all be picked up from Xue Yantuo's old department. "

"Your Majesty can't do it!" After Li Eryi finished speaking, Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and said, "If it's not my race, its heart must be different!

These alien races still have to be restrained! "

Fang Xuanling felt that Li Er was crazy, so what's the use of taking Xue Yantuo with all their efforts?

"That's right, Your Majesty. After all, you are a foreign race. If you don't take precautions, disasters will happen in the future!" Wen Yanbo also stood up and said.

Even Wei Zheng, who had never dealt with him before, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you need to be cautious about this matter."

Although they have different political views, they are quite consistent in the general direction.

Moreover, Li Er's move was too bold.

"Foreign race? Constraint?" Li Er sneered, "Do you want me to restrain the people of Tang Dynasty?

Now that they have attached to my Great Tang, they are the people of my Great Tang. As for what will happen to them in the future?

Hmph, since ancient times, there has been no reason to convict someone for something that didn't happen.

Regardless of the future, but now, they are the people of my Tang Dynasty, and no one can change this!
Not only them, but there will be similar things in the future, take this as an example!

Since Datang is called great, it must have the courage to tolerate everything!

No matter what kind of alien race you are, as long as you integrate into my Great Tang, you are a citizen of Great Tang! "

"Your Majesty..." Everyone shouted immediately when they heard the words, but Li Er waved his hand slightly and said, "Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er got up and left.

It can be seen that his attitude is quite firm.

"What should I do?" As soon as Li Er left, everyone started discussing.

For foreigners, especially Fang Xuanling and others, no one is at ease.

That's an alien!

"Actually, it's not impossible." Li Daozong said, "Since they have attached to my Tang Dynasty, they are naturally my subjects, what's wrong with that?
They are all my citizens of the Tang Dynasty, so should they be treated differently? "

"That's not the problem..." After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he sighed, and said, "Hey, what Your Majesty wants is not just a Xue Yantuo?
But as the old saying goes, no matter how big a country is, it will die if it is warlike! "

"But as the old saying goes, although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger!" Li Daozong laughed.

They didn't know what Li Er was thinking, but as generals, they didn't have any opinion at all. They wished that Li Er would order troops and send them to continue the expedition.

As a general, it is natural to make contributions on the battlefield.

All of a sudden, the crowd became noisy again.

In the final analysis of this matter, there is only one sentence. The public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is right. Anyway, both sides insist on their own opinions.

In the end, there was no reason to argue.

Until everyone left the palace, no one persuaded anyone.

"Your Majesty's sand table has completely aroused His Majesty's desire." Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed after seeing a group of warriors leave, "But in the great Tang Dynasty, it can't be that there are no neighbors around, right?"

"But although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast enough, there is really not much land suitable for farming." Dai Zhou said, "Let's not talk about your majesty, the old man is very greedy when he sees those lands.

If those fertile land belonged to my Great Tang, then even when my Great Tang faced natural disasters, it would save a few people from dying, wouldn't it? "

As the Minister of the Household Department, when natural disasters and man-made disasters come, it is the time when his Household Department is most stressed, so he naturally hopes that Datang can have more land and the Household Department can have more food.

Money and food are things that can only be hated when they are used.

"Hey..." Fang Xuanling sighed, he knew this truth, but he also understood that Datang couldn't do this.

The glory of the Great Tang Dynasty comes from the entrustment of the surrounding countries, so there must be only one Great Tang left in the world, right?

Where is Datang's sense of superiority reflected?

Moreover, the country is too big, the population is too diverse, and it is troublesome to govern. The sky is so high that the emperor is far away, and sometimes it is really beyond the reach of the whip.

"Your Highness is really calculating!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

This time, no one refuted him.

Indeed, Li Chengqian just used a sand table to attract Li Er's attention.

Originally, Li Er's attention should have been on Li Chengqian, but now it's all over, it's all gone.

"It looks like it's time for the old man to do something."

Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Wei Zheng immediately asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"You will know after the fact." After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling left in a huff.

Looking at him like that, it was obvious that he was holding back some big moves.

　I'm sorry, I'm not in good health recently, and there are some problems with the update, but don't worry about it in the future, I have used up the leave slips, and I can't ask for leave... I will make up for it when I feel better.
