Chapter 493 Volume Five(2/2)
Naturally, I want to leave more land for future generations.
But if we are not really desperate, who would be willing to sell their land at a low price?"
"What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true." Someone said in support, "They are all miserable people."
Seeing them singing along, Li Er also smiled. It was not appropriate to make a big deal out of this matter, at least not yet. He didn't have the capital to break up with the aristocratic family.
Besides, this matter involves too many areas. If we really need to investigate thoroughly, during the Yuan Dynasty, it is estimated that all the ninth-rank officials outside the palace will be able to come in.
That's not what being an emperor is about, it's about finding a balance.
"Let's discuss this later." Li Er waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Duke Ji's memorial."
"Your Majesty, I feel that Duke Ji's memorial is just right to the point. I second my opinion!" As soon as Li Er finished speaking, Yan Lide said hurriedly.
"I forgot about you." Li Er smiled when he heard this and said, "You also just came back from Ming Dynasty. Tell me what you think."
The more Li Er looked at Yan Lide today, the more satisfied he became. This guy was so energetic.
Yan Lide had obviously been prepared for it. He glanced at Duan Lun and saw Duan Lun nodded, and then immediately said: "Your Majesty, the time I spent in Riyue Mountain may be the longest in the court.
At the beginning, when Wei Chen came to Riyue Mountain for the first time, he actually did not take the Ming Dynasty general as a prisoner seriously.
Because it can be seen from the goods sold by the Ming Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty that the greatest advantage of the Ming Dynasty generals is creativity, but compared with basic skills, it is not enough to compare with our dynasty.
Take the Quyuan plow as an example. The Quyuan plow produced in the Ming Dynasty was extremely rough. This was absolutely impossible for the General Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, at the beginning, Wei Chen really just wanted to understand why the generals and supervisors of the Ming Dynasty kept walking ahead of us.
But when Weichen learned about Riyue Mountain, Weichen discovered an astonishing fact."
"What fact?" Li Er asked curiously.
Yan Lide pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Others have never been there, so they may not know much about it." After saying that, Yan Lide looked at Wei Zheng and others, and said, "Wei Chen remembers that both Zheng Guogong and Hejian County Prince have been there.
Riyue Mountain, I wonder if you still remember what left the deepest impression on you?"
When Li Xiaogong and others heard this, they looked at Li Er. When Li Er nodded, Li Xiaogong said: "The most profound impression is the spirit of the common people."
"Yes, I still remember this very well." Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu also nodded.
Indeed, on this point, they are surprisingly unanimous.
Including those officials who had been on diplomatic missions to the Ming Dynasty, they also nodded in approval.
After Yan Lide heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, this is the answer of Wei Chen."
Li Er understood, because he heard Duan Lun say it yesterday, but the officials didn't understand and all looked at Yan Lide.
"Yan Qing should explain it in detail..."
"What Wei Chen wants to say is actually the same as the prince and others." Yan Lide said, "When the craftsmen of Riyue Mountain go to work, all their faces are full of pride, and when they finish work, they are all inexplicably excited, even though their bodies are exhausted.
To the extreme, but the look on his face cannot deceive anyone.
But if you look at our Tang Dynasty, you can go and have a look at other workshops such as General Supervisor, Shaofu Supervisor or the Ministry of Works.
The craftsmen of my Tang Dynasty went to work as if they were going to a grave, and when they left work they were buried...
This alone makes the difference!
But what is the reason?
Let’s put it this way, the Quyuan plow technology that Duke Ji bought back from the Ming Dynasty cost a total of 20,000 yuan!
Twenty thousand dollars!
But the royal court of the Ming Dynasty only rewarded the first craftsman who built a curved shaft plow according to the drawings with only a hundred pieces!
Just a hundred strings!
But from this one hundred guan, he reaped rich benefits of 20,000 guan in the blink of an eye!
Just imagine, a craftsman just made a curved shaft plow according to the drawings, and he destroyed the family of a prince in the Tang Dynasty!
There are more than tens of millions of craftsmen like Ming Dynasty?
But do we in the Tang Dynasty have tens of millions of princes who are willing to break up their families?"
Hearing what Yan Lide said, Li Er felt happy in his heart.
Yes, that’s what it tastes like!
But to the ears of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this was fucking disgusting.
What's just a hundred guan, what's a full 20,000 guan? Who the hell are you disgusting with?
"That's a lot of one hundred strings." At this moment, Duan Lun said, "If we were in the Tang Dynasty, let alone asking for money according to the diagram, even if you personally built the Quyuan plow, the top reward would not exceed ten strings!"
"Is it just this little?" Yan Lide was immediately surprised, "I just heard what Dai Shangshu, Dr. Zheng, and Cui Yushi said, and Wei Chen thought that Ming Dynasty was trying to deduct the craftsmen.
But Weichen couldn't figure it out.
The Ming Dynasty obviously deprived its craftsmen so much, why are the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty so different from the craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty?
Do they have land?
no!
At least when Wei Chen was in Riyue Mountain, he never heard of any craftsman dividing the land."
"On the corner of Riyue Mountain, is there any land share?" Duan Lun said with a smile, "Thankfully you are still a general and supervisor of the Tang Dynasty. How come you don't even know this basic common sense? Your Majesty, General Yan should be punished
That’s it!”
The two guys sang in harmony, and suddenly no one said a word in the court.
Li Er also discovered at this moment that the two people had discussed it.
He remembered that Yan Lide should have another memorial, but Yan Lide has not yet submitted the memorial, which means that the two of them changed their plans last night.
But he wasn't surprised by this.
One is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is the general supervisor. From a standpoint, the two are consistent.
Moreover, this is also a good thing for him.
"Mr. Ji Guo's words are serious." Li Er said with a smile, "Apart from General Yan being concerned about things within his own domain, have you ever seen him caring about other things?"
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I would like to ask you to report it!" Yan Lide said immediately as Li Er finished speaking.
