Li Tai said worriedly: "There are so many fights in the DPRK. Your father comes from a family of craftsmen and has always let things go in the DPRK. How long can such a person stay in power?"
Princess Wei is usually a quiet person. After listening to King Wei's words, she whispered: "My father has always been like this."
"Well, it seems that everything is peaceful now, but it is different now. The fight between Xu Jingzong and Changsun Wuji has reached such an extent, not to mention that there are more and more young people in the court. With such a fight, How to survive?”
These craftsmen got drunk in front of such a feast.
Three hours later, Li Tai's guards also sent the family members of these craftsmen. Rather than bringing them, a more appropriate term for the current situation is that they were kidnapped.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, this is the human relationship we found."
Li Tai looked at the roll of paper in his hand. It said who these craftsmen owed money to, who they owed favors to, and who they interacted with.
After understanding this, I knew exactly what to do.
When these craftsmen woke up from their drunken dreams, they saw their own family members and looked at King Wei in surprise.
At this moment, Li Tai was sitting in a rocking chair, holding a piece of paper in his hand and reciting their human relations. He even knew clearly which family had a woman outside the house.
It’s embarrassing and overwhelming.
"Everyone has their own difficulties, and we at Lishan never force others to face difficulties." Li Tai said this.
The response was the silence of these craftsmen.
Li Tai added: "Lishan can help you solve these difficulties and help you get rid of all kinds of chores. Moreover, Lishan can give you a salary several times higher than before. So are you willing to stay in Lishan?"
Seeing that no one said anything, Li Tai continued: "By the way, you go out to buy wood and stone, and you get a lot of benefits from it. I wonder what the people at Yushitai will do if they know these things?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The craftsmen and their group could not live in Chang'an City with the money given by the court. They could only rely on the convenience to seek more benefits in Chang'an City, and the extra money would be enough to support their families.
Just from purchasing wood, they can get 10% to 20% benefit from it.
These are tacit rules that everyone knows. Everyone understands that, let alone the craftsmen, the palace residents who buy cloth for food can get more benefits.
If this matter really reaches Yushitai, these people may not be able to make a living as craftsmen in this life.
The most important thing for a craftsman is reputation and craftsmanship.
First solve their problems, promise many arrangements and benefits, and then tell them their current situation and their shortcomings as threats.
Under this combination of kindness and power, these craftsmen had no choice but to obey. The six of them stood up together and saluted: "We are willing to serve His Majesty the King of Wei."
Li Tai smiled and said: "You, Lishan, work hard, not for me."
"We are willing to contribute to Lishan."
They repeated their words, and Li Tai was satisfied.
Li Tai felt a little sorry for Yan Liben's conscience, so he asked his guards to bring him several jars of good wine. This was not only his kindness as a family, but also wanted to make some compensation for Yan Liben's conscience.
The construction site of Lishan Technical College has been selected, and a good day has been chosen to start construction. Everything is ready.
Production is inseparable from construction. What Li Tai and Li Shan face is a huge problem. Technology needs to keep moving forward, and the more we need to brainstorm.
Just relying on Lishan and a few people can't go far, and it takes time to train a high-level technical staff.
The cost of cultivating talents is high, especially the cost of time.
Li Tai felt that he was aware of these problems, and his brother-in-law must have also been aware of them.
On Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang was making a bicycle for his daughter and installing training wheels on both sides of the rear wheel.
In my free time, I help my daughter repair toys and make some new toys.
Xiao Wu handed over the wrench, "Master, why don't you let the blacksmith make these?"
Zhang Yang twisted it with a wrench and explained: "Because the blacksmith workshop has to make more important things, our productivity in Lishan is not enough. I have to do many things myself and cannot use their production capacity."
Glancing at Xiao Wu who was confused, Zhang Yang added: "Lishan's production is all used for people's livelihood construction. If the whole village is manufacturing the toys I need, wouldn't it be a failure of the original intention? This is different from our Lishan The purpose is contrary to the purpose.”
When Xiao Wu is fifteen years old, it's time to understand the world. It's good to teach her in a few words and persuade her again and again. It's good if she can change her mind.
At the most critical age for forming one's own subjective consciousness, Zhang Yang is willing to give more teachings to his wife's disciples.
At this best age, they still have a lot to learn, especially the thinking class.
This is the most important thing that cannot be left behind. The most important thing is that in this feudal era, it is crucial that they have a clear and unswerving right direction.
Zhang Yang turned the entire bicycle over. A tricycle with wooden wheels could not run far, could not ride fast, and was very difficult to ride. It was best to use it to kill his daughter's energy.
The pedal is on the front wheel. The earliest bicycles were made of wooden wheels. How could there be so many sophisticated equipment back then.
Zhang Yang kept his hands on the wheel while he continued to preach to Xiao Wu: "Our family is the owner of Lishan. Logically speaking, all the people in the village are our food households. They should work for us, not for them." Do things by yourself, right?”
Xiao Wu nodded, "Logically it should be like this."
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Actually, this idea is wrong. The villagers of Lishan are all independent individuals. They will have their own ideas and make their own decisions. When we took over Lishan, Lishan was very poor. Let alone food, even if your teacher and I take more, many people will go hungry."
"So at that time, I thought about common prosperity and regarded them as a collective. It would be much easier to think from a collective perspective. Look, there are so many eunuchs and maids in the palace. How good is the life in the palace? Because the emperor deprived increased their productivity.”
"As a result, His Majesty's life is becoming increasingly poor, and life in the palace is becoming more and more difficult."
Thinking that the life in the palace now often depends on King Wei for support, Xiao Wu covered his mouth and laughed softly.
Zhang Yang added: "Empowering productivity to the collective can make the collective stronger and more united."
"Well, Master even went to plow the fields himself."
"So, the power of an individual is small, but the power of the collective is huge. Treat the villagers as friends and neighbors. Go among the people from time to time to see what they need and their living conditions. If you have More power to help people solve their problems is a long-term solution."
While talking, Zhang Yang felt that it was inappropriate to say these words to Xiao Wu, so he smiled with emotion, picked up his tea cup and took a sip of water.
Xiao Wu helped organize the master's tools, and his mind became clearer again. This conversation was very fruitful.
The bicycle was a bit crude. Zhang Yang put it in front of his daughter and said, "Try it."
Xiao Qingqing put down the blocks in his hand and looked at the bicycle, "Dad, how do you want to play with this?"
Zhang Yang picked her up, put her on the bicycle, put her feet on the pedals, "Just step on it."
As soon as Xiao Qingqing stepped on the pedal, the wheels started spinning and moving forward slowly. As she stepped faster, the bicycle went faster.
It was shaky at first, but gradually became smoother.
Looking at her daughter's smile, Li Yue also smiled with satisfaction. In fact, she had long been tired of playing with the toys at home. She was too pampered on weekdays and had no novel toys. She liked to ride a bear in the village all day long. shake.
Now that she has new toys, it gives her new fun.
Li Shimin has been eating twice a day in Lishan recently. Lishan is very luxurious. It should be said that the entire Lishan is very wealthy. Both Zhang Yang's family and the villagers of Lishan eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
As for which meal to eat in the morning, lunch or dinner, it depends on the mood of the emperor. When does the meal come to Lishan and when does the meal come here.
After paying so much money, the emperor didn't even want to return to the palace. It was obviously time for the imperial meeting, but his majesty dragged him from the beginning of the Waking of Insects to the Spring Equinox.
Li Shimin is still very diligent in his work on weekdays. Why he stayed in Lishan? From a filial point of view, it was to take care of the elderly Emperor. From a profit point of view, it was to eat as many meals as he could in Lishan. This guy makes so much money, who will eat if he doesn't eat?
Two days ago, Lishan sold a batch of chairs, which were old chairs that had been replaced with more comfortable chairs.
Just like this, the useless old chairs were sold, and there were a total of 3,000 small old chairs. They were the inventory of the village. Otherwise, they would have to be burned as firewood. Lishan received another two hundred dollars.
Every time he knew that this boy was making money so easily and that Lishan was so rich, thinking of this, Li Shimin felt that God was blind and unjust.
There were even Tibetan people sending Lishan beef, monk Xuanzang writing letters to Lishan, and even the little Turkic Khan...
When Lishan bought wool, the Turks even gave away the sheep.
This little Turkic Khan did everything he could to please Li Shan.
Li Shimin stroked his forehead in distress, what's wrong with this world?
Looking at the car my granddaughter is riding in front of me, I only need to step on it to make the car move. It is indeed very good.
Before the granddaughter could have all the fun, Li Shimin grabbed the car with one hand. After looking at it for a long time, he wanted to sit on it and ride it. He found that he was too big to sit on it, so he gave it back to her.
Li Shimin sat down again and thought about it, and said to the prince on the side: "Bring the drawings of this thing and let the Ministry of Industry build it according to the pattern."
"Here."
Eunuch Wang nodded and walked into Lishan's workshop.
On weekdays, the door of this workshop is unlocked. I rummaged through the drawings and found one that looked the same as the little princess and picked it up.
"County Marquis, Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Industry to also make some."
Zhang Yang drank tea and explained: "This bicycle is for children to play with. If Your Majesty wants to use it, I can make some modifications. It is not perfect yet."
The prince turned his head and glanced at the sitting emperor, and whispered: "Your Majesty wants the same thing."
Zhang Yang nodded in understanding, "It doesn't matter, take it."
Let me say it up front, this bike has many imperfections, and more importantly, the material of the tires is a headache.
Now that Li Shimin has taken away the blueprints, the government has built thousands of bicycles. If there is a better one in Lishan in the future, don't keep it secret.
Zhang Yang rested for a moment, and then his aunt sent the files from Taifu Temple.
Putting these files on the table, Zhang Yang sat by the Huaqing Pool and read again. The cultivation of the fields was progressing very well.
The grape seedlings from Gaochang will take some time to arrive. Grapes are a crop that requires a lot of light.
Li Shimin had been observing Zhang Yang's movements, and saw the boy hurriedly walked into his study room again, took out a few volumes of books, and then came out and sat down again.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, Li Shimin also walked up to take a look.
Zhang Yang whispered: "It is best to read books in a well-lit place, and it is more comfortable for the eyes. I prefer to read outdoors during the day."
"Well, I often read memorials in the Ganlu Hall for a long time, and my eyes will be very tired."
"Your Majesty must also take care of your eyes."
Zhang Yang drank tea and whispered.
Li Shimin also picked up a file and read it, first confirming that there were no remarks about disloyalty or filial piety or conspiracy to rebel.
“These are all crop records?”
Zhang Yang held a roll in his hand and compared it with the roll on the desk.
Li Shimin asked again: "Are there many crops outside the customs?"
"Well, the types of vegetables in Guanzhong need to be diversified. This is a critical year for Taifu Temple."
"Would you like me to arrange a few more people for you?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Looking at it now, two people are enough. Three or four more people are fine. However, this year Shangguan Yi went out to recruit a few old farmers to help Taifu Temple with work."
Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said: "If you go out to inquire about the land, you must have a few more officers and soldiers with you."
Zhang Yang still shook his head and continued: "Your Majesty, I often say that in order to serve the country, we must go deep into the masses. The masses are the foundation of the country. Isn't this true?"
"Well, Xunzi said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is what he said."
On this day, Khan had been in the military for more than ten years and was also a cultural person, so it was not difficult to communicate with him.
Zhang Yang continued: "In this way, we have to go deep into the masses. If we go out to do business, there are always a few fierce officers and soldiers following us. How can we talk to the farmers cordially and truly understand their daily needs?"
Li Shimin said in confusion: "I often look at the villagers of Lishan. There are many regulations and rules in Lishan, but there is little laissez-faire. When to work and when to rest, there are rules. I thought you practiced Legalism a lot, so you should They are people who are leaning towards Legalism, and now they are saying what the masses say. The saying that water can carry a boat and also capsize it comes from Xunzi’s royal system and is a Confucian teaching."
"Isn't there a contradiction between what you did and what you said?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "This is not a contradiction. Confucianism and Legalism have been arguing for a long time. How many people in this world can explain clearly."
"Your idea is interesting, I will consider it carefully."
