For most of the next time, except for daily necessities, Jiang Tian basically stayed in the small building. During the day, he read and took notes. Ability;
Although, through normal channels in the market, the contents of the transcripts can be obtained; they are mainly short-lived rumors, or gossips and anecdotes that are sensational or curious; even if it is official news, it is not I know the old news after it passed through several hands.
However, as a modern person influenced by Jiang Tian's dialectical materialism and scientific methodology, as long as there are enough samples, the better, as a reference for mutual comparison and probability elimination, we can still analyze and get a glimpse of the development context of the current era. and nodes.
Especially because of its practicality, as long as the further it is deduced and explored, the things that can be displayed in front of Jiang Tian will become clearer and clearer. But the more we learn about this era, the more amazing it becomes.
Because the changes and subsequent influence brought about by this senior time traveler have really penetrated into every aspect of the Tang Dynasty today; so much so that a hundred years have passed since his death, but he is still continuing to enjoy and follow it. Correspondingly, Development dividends and residual benefits.
The most basic of these is that as a feudal dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was inevitably plagued by floods, droughts, locusts and hail for years, but the series of subsequent man-made disasters that resulted were greatly reduced and eliminated, directly or indirectly.
On the one hand, when Liang Gong was still alive, he tried his best to promote the five-horizontal and sixteen-vertical straight road project that runs through the world and connects the four seas and seven sides, as well as the construction of the branch line network that has been continued through the generations; giving Datang a leap-forward transportation communication system, allowing the center to respond to local situations in a timely manner.
Therefore, Chang'an is said to be the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world, bringing together the catches from the East China Sea, the best fruits from the Nanling Mountains, the livestock and horses from the Northern Fortress, and the treasures from the Western Regions. It makes the lives of the people of the city extremely rich and diverse.
On the other hand, after Liang Gong opened up the four barbarians and nine borders, he also established many vassals for the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, the Northern Fortress, the South China Sea, and the Eastern Kingdom, which were regarded as the barriers and fortresses of the Nine Provinces. This has been followed to this day, at least as many as There are more than a hundred families, and as many as nearly a thousand.
While these new era princes who were affiliated with external vassals continued to expand their territory outside the territory, they also provided a steady stream of imports to the Tang Dynasty, plundering and developing goods and special products from outside the territory; they also dealt with the Han immigrants in the country, There is an inexhaustible thirst.
Therefore, whenever a famine occurs somewhere in the world, the ones who are more active than the relief officials sent by the imperial court are these foreign vassal princes who take action after hearing the news. Because this is also a carnival feast for them to obtain more immigration supplements at a relatively cheap cost.
Therefore, the most common traditional social conflicts caused by land annexation and population explosion in the middle and late feudal dynasties have also been reduced in disguise, and have even become less important and secondary issues.
Because, on the one hand, compared with overseas vassals, there are complementary transportation exchanges, and booming handicrafts and trade activities; traditional farmers have worked hard for a year, and it depends on the mood of God before they can harvest the little land. , simply seems insignificant.
On the other hand, the traditional landlord class suddenly discovered that even if they took advantage of the disaster years to occupy more land, they still had to consider finding enough manpower to farm in order to produce corresponding output and income; otherwise, how could they allow themselves to Go farming with your family.
In this case, they had to lower the corresponding rent ratio and provide relatively cheap loans in order to retain the young and middle-aged people in the countryside; they even went into battle with those from overseas vassals, using native land and kinship cards to fight for bankrupt farmers. .
In this case, those local officials who might have colluded with the landlords and took advantage of the situation to rob them, instead took advantage of both sides. This has even given rise to a specialized semi-official industry for a long time - the edition market;
Therefore, in many coastal areas or in places with developed water and land transportation, localized famines and even larger refugee groups failed to form a large scale. The imperial disaster relief envoys were still on the way, but were rushed by foreign vassals after hearing the news. Most of the middlemen were eliminated first.
Therefore, among the majority of the population in both the government and the public, since there is no chance for consecutive years of famine, large-scale displacement and starvation, the excess population that has arisen among the people can still have a place to go. This is not as good as the peaceful rule of the past three generations, but also What's there?
As a result, the late period of the ZTE era continues to this day; there are still several generations of artistic emperors who have made great achievements in various fields of personal interests and hobbies.
After all, if the best manpower and material resources in the world are dedicated to one person's interest, even a pig can blow it away; not to mention, it will stimulate and support an entire industry in disguise, including It has attracted a large number of people in the low, middle and high-end echelons.
For another example, during the Taixing reform, Liang Gong established the so-called tenure system for ministers on the grounds of maintaining and consolidating imperial power, and restricted the political affairs hall to be elected every five years based on the situation of ancestral law. This completely put an end to the power treachery of previous generations. Li Linfu and others have the possibility of enjoying exclusive power for more than ten years.
Then, under the continuous promotion of successive generations of emperors, it was extended to courtiers of third rank and above, and even to the monastery in Taibu, Beijing Province, and the system of first and second chief officials in the northern and southern yamen armies; in disguise, a powerful and powerful system was formed. Bureaucratic flow cycles.
In addition to the Privy Council in the traditional sense, the General Counselor's Office, which is similar to the military staff department, has been established; even the firearms force, similar to the later modern systems of the Capital University, the Imperial College, etc., have existed to varying degrees in this era. .
On the other hand, the technology tree of one-stop inventions such as steel, cement, gunpowder, glass soap, papermaking and printing, etc., which are necessary for time travelers to start a business, were all pointed out in this era, and have been widely used to varying degrees.
For example, the barber who came to give Jiang Tian a haircut and shaved his face before had only a rudimentary one and two loads; but the mirror, stainless steel razor, white cotton hand towel and small half bucket of soap he used could all be produced in batches. Cheap products produced.
But for Jiang Tian, there was nothing he could do. In his small notebook, he has listed a large number of things collected from the manuscripts that can be used as entrepreneurial projects in the future; however, most of them have been crossed out.
There is no other reason, because after so many years of development, these projects that are available for entry have formed solid vested interest groups, or the intertwined forces of government, businessmen, and imperial businessmen; people who have no foothold cannot even think about it easily. Step in.
It's just something for a small business, maybe you can give it a try. However, it cannot stand up to the low threshold. After it becomes a little bigger, it is easy to be counterfeited and copied. Without a certain identity and background, there is no way to stop people from harassing people by force and robbery.
And I have nothing but a little ability brought by this mission that lacks a clue. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the current channel of submitting articles and selling articles is still in the hands of its predecessor, and the money is made in a shorter and faster way.
However, even if Jiang Tian wants to spend this period of time in seclusion in Youtufang peacefully, he may not be able to avoid it, and he will take the initiative to come to his door to cause trouble.
In fact, when he suddenly woke up one morning, he found that Xiao Ao, who was responsible for running errands to purchase supplies and deliver documents, had not come.
Then, the two policemen from the east area of Youtufang were searched again. While they came to check and threatened him, they also let him know a little bit. It was said that the ordinary-looking Xiao Ao suddenly committed the serious crime of poisoning an official and disappeared.
Then, Jiang Tian was not surprised to find that his surroundings were being openly monitored. Although they didn't do anything more, they often blocked the road suddenly and searched the food and daily necessities delivered, which also caused Jiang Tian a lot of trouble and trouble in his daily life.
Then, Fan Shishi suddenly came up and reported that someone secretly opened a private letter sent to him from the prison. This makes people a little uncomfortable. Later, Jiang Tian decided to write a special letter and asked Fan Shishi to deliver it personally.
As a result, almost the day after the letter was sent, the public officials on the street who were openly monitoring the situation suddenly stopped and disappeared one after another in despair.
