Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 732 Everyone is like a dragon
All of Datang's infrastructure is being rapidly strengthened, and the efficiency of manufacturing, production, and transportation is also getting higher and higher. Naturally, there are more and more talents emerging from various industries.

From Li Shimin's accession to the throne in the 11th year of Wude to the 12th year of Zhenguan, it has been almost 30 years. This time span, in this era, is almost a generation. In later generations, the open policy was implemented. It took about [-] years for our country to make the whole The country has changed the world and realized the transformation from poverty and backwardness to modern industry.

At that time, we had many shortcuts to learn from foreign countries.But now, everything needs to be explored and advanced by one's own research, I don't know how many levels are too slow.

Therefore, although in the eyes of people in this period, the changes in Tang Dynasty are already quite incredible, but in the eyes of later generations like Sun Xiangfu, there are still too many deficiencies.

In February, after Sun Xiangfu received the members of the art troupe and all kinds of condolence materials, Sun Xiangfu took Yu Xiuer, Li Xiangdie, Yao Hongxiu and the overall plan that he had planned at home during this time. , set off on the road.

And at this time, Ma Zhou, who had collected a lot of debts in the countries of the Western Regions, finally returned to Suiye City.

"Your Majesty, I have reached a new repayment agreement with various countries according to the plan. In at most three months, they will continuously deliver the materials we need to here and Talas City." Suiye City's In the government affairs hall, Ma Zhou reported to Li Shimin.

"Ma Aiqing has worked hard."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Next, we will organize everyone to complete the spring plowing, so that the food reserves in Anxi Dadu's territory will be more sufficient this autumn.

At the beginning of winter, the production of building materials will start, and the territories of the surrounding kingdoms will be merged. I want to build fast-reaching roads as soon as possible in all the territories newly merged into our Tang Dynasty, and complete the strategic areas. The construction of the city will be built wherever it expands. "

"The minister waits for orders."

After more than 200 million young and strong people from various countries in the Western Regions completed the cement road from Suiye City to Guanzhong, Li Shimin had no intention of disbanding them at all. A large amount of cement, bricks, gravel, and large trucks transporting these materials Cars are constantly being collected and fired.

The entire organization's management ability and efficiency are honed through continuous work like this. Who told Datang to have such financial resources to support so many people who are professionally engaged in this kind of work?

In Chang'an City, Li Chengqian's son, Li Heng, successfully learned a simple dance and performed it for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was very happy about this, so he agreed to Li Heng and took him to the playground outside the palace to play.

In fact, in the harem, there is a special amusement park, which has no less than a few commercial plazas outside the palace. The children's play facilities are even more advanced and diverse.

But Li Heng prefers to play in the playground outside the palace, because there are more children there, and he likes the lively scene of crowds of people.

So, the father and son, wearing casual clothes and bringing three or five guards, went to the street.

That's right, the current Prince Jian Guo doesn't need any support when he goes out, and he doesn't need the guards of the brigade to clear the way and clear the scene.

Now, no one would want to assassinate him at all, and even watching him would not cause public places to be surrounded or cause inconvenience.

He has taken the line of being close to the people to the extreme, and he can often be seen on the streets of Chang'an.Or eat snacks at roadside stalls and listen to diners tell some folk stories.

Or, ask the people who transport their own products to sell in the city, how the harvest is, and whether there are any difficulties that need to be solved.

Some ordinary people in the market will listen carefully to their suggestions for the future development of the country, and will go to various industries from time to time to see their work process and output efficiency.

Li Heng fell in love with going out to play in the palace precisely because he ran out with him a few times.

As for Li Chengqian, he still remembers the painful scene when he was confined to study in the palace when he was young.

He didn't want his own pain to be endured again by his son, and he had already proved that that kind of education was wrong.

As the crown prince of a country and the future helm, he should know all walks of life among the people, the living conditions of the people, their living needs, the price situation of the market, and so on.

Today, he encountered a small incident.

The price of grain in Guanzhong, and even the whole country, has begun to rise. Although it only fluctuates by one penny per bucket, one stone is the price of ten pennies. On average, it is a lot for each grain-growing family. up.

Because most families who make a living by farming generally plant more than 200 mu. With the current average yield, each household can have more than [-] shi of surplus grain for one season. difference.

After three or four years, grain prices have finally fluctuated and increased. This is a great joy for the peasants. Then, the common people began to ask why the grain price has risen.

Yes, just to inquire, if it were ten years ago, the common people would definitely not have such hobbies, these things are beyond their control at all.

It's different now, not to mention fluctuations in food prices, even small temporary fluctuations in the prices of vegetables and eggs. They will ask clearly why this is the reason, and whether it is appropriate to sell their own eggs and vegetables at this time.

This is a kind of progress of the people. They know how to look at the market, they can calculate the numbers clearly, and they need to know why they do everything. That is to say, they are gradually breaking away from the era of foolish people controlled by others.

"His Royal Highness, the grass-roots would like to ask you something. Will the policy in the west continue?" In the seating area for adults to rest next to the playground, a strong man wearing a cotton padded jacket, long sleeves and trousers also brought himself The three children in the family came here to play. After seeing Li Chengqian, he leaned over and bowed his hands slightly to salute.

Although this man is well dressed, Li Chengqian can tell at a glance from the thick calluses on his arched fingers that he is just a farmer around Chang'an City. Of course, even an ordinary farmer can wear it. Zhou Zhouzheng's cotton-padded clothes and leather boots, and coming to the city to play, we can see how far the economic level of the people in the Tang Dynasty has reached.

Li Chengqian smiled and raised his hand to signal him to excuse him, and said, "Why do you ask this question?"

The man smiled and said, "Caomin listened to the sergeant in the civil studies class that the reason why the food in our Tang Dynasty has increased is because of a series of large projects in the west of the imperial court. I came to ask you, just want to know, Will the price of grain continue to rise? If it continues to rise, the grassroots will have to work harder this year. After returning home, they will find a few acres of land in the village to plant grain. Anyway, they will rush to plant this year. There is also more income.”

Li Chengqian looked at the strong man with interest and said, "If there are too many fields, people will have to work hard. Just plant according to the actual situation of your own ability. You can't ask for money or life!"

Hearing this, the man said a little shyly, "Cao Min already had three children, and last year he took in two orchid concubines. In the next season of this year, there will be two more children to raise and earn more. It can be used by the whole family, and it’s okay to be tired, anyway, now there are cattle and carts, and it’s not too tiring to do farm work, and the women in the family can help, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face, "You are very lucky. However, if the price of food rises, your income will naturally increase. You need a few acres of land. Planting too much will tire bad people."

Hearing the meaning of Li Chengqian's words, the man immediately understood, that is to say, the policy in the west will continue, and the price of food will continue to rise. After bowing his hands and bowing to thank Li Chengqian, he walked away happily.

He is happy, but Li Chengqian is not happy, maybe this is what Sun Xiangfu mentioned to him in the letter before, everyone is like a dragon!When all the people have their own thinking and know how to be better, the foundation of Datang will be truly stable.

Of course, just from this small matter, Li Chengqian saw some other problems, that is, the population of Datang is growing rapidly, and the number of children in the population structure is too large. Usually, two or three adults have to support and take care of four or five. Children, this will seriously affect their productivity, perhaps, we should find a way to solve it.

When Li Heng was tired of playing and went back to the palace with him, he had already thought of a prototype, that is, to open a playground for children who are not old enough to enter school, or to play simple puzzle games. The place, let a special person take care of those children. The adults only need to send the children every morning and pick them up at night, which will not affect their farming or work.

He didn't know that his idea was a kind of embryonic form of kindergartens in later generations, so when he asked Sun Xiangfu for his letter and sent it to Yunnan, Sun Xiangfu voted for it without even thinking about it, and praised him. Li Chengqian's idea of ​​discovering and solving social problems is very good, and he should continue to carry forward it and so on.

Therefore, after a little discussion in the court, this plan was approved. After that, there will be more new buildings in the major cities of the Tang Dynasty, and that is the kindergarten.

In late February, the Xuanfu team, who started to step into the snow-covered plateau, finally felt the beauty of the plateau and how uncomfortable the legendary altitude sickness was.

The feeling of pain from the inside of the head to the outside is much more uncomfortable than a cold. In later generations, cars, trains, and airplanes all have more advanced heating and oxygen supply equipment. People generally don’t feel it very much. Get off at the next stop, and the altitude is not high.

But this period is different. Everyone can not only rely on their own respiratory system to supplement oxygen, but also perform physical exercise such as horse riding, camel riding, or walking. In this hypoxic state, they are doing strenuous exercise that consumes more oxygen. , It is completely incomparable to sit in a comfortable car in later generations.

After he really embarked on this road, Sun Xiangfu understood why Xue Rengui suffered a crushing defeat in Dafeichuan in history. Even the strongest soldiers in the Central Plains would lose more than [-]% of their combat effectiveness when they arrived here.

Even if there is no need to fight, some people will continue to fall ill and die, which will affect the morale of the army. In this case, it is strange to be undefeated.

Fortunately, Datang used non-war means to incorporate this place, otherwise, I really don't know how many lives would be lost here.
