Chapter 924

With a heavy snowfall, it has added a sense of youth to the northern land, and the nine years of Zhenguan are finally coming to an end. In the twinkling of an eye, it was the annual year-end meeting.

"Tell your majesty, our taxes have increased year after year, and this year they have soared by 10%, which is really gratifying!" Dai Zhou, the Minister of civil affairs, said proudly.

With the social stability of Datang and the power of brick road and ink technology, Datang's economy has grown rapidly, with a sharp increase of 10%, that is, the economic growth of future generations is 10%, which is a great achievement.

"How about a 10% surge? It's not enough to spend. The National Treasury has been losing money for years!" many ministers said in their hearts. Datang's economy is growing rapidly, but there are more places to spend money. It's really beyond our means. Rao is so. There are still many projects waiting to be carried out.

Of course, on this happy day, no one will be disappointed. Most of them report good news rather than bad news.

Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of industry, said proudly: "this year, the Datang brick road will be increased by 1500 Li. There are still 800 Li under construction. The Weishui bridge is progressing smoothly,......."

Dai Zhou couldn't help but look at Zhang Liang with resentment. Even if his people's Department has great skills, it can't fill the bottomless hole of the Ministry of work.

Linghu de Lang, the Minister of rites, said in a loud voice, "now I am in the service of all over the world in the Tang Dynasty. The world respects your majesty as Tian Khan. In addition, Tubo and other countries have offered a lot of money to ask for the teaching of Mohist ink skills."

"Mohist ink skills!" all officials were stunned and turned their eyes to the last Merton.

But this time without Merton, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "the Mohist ink technology is the private secret technology of the people. Even I have no right to deal with it. There is no need to mention the requests of Tubo and other countries."

"Promise!" Linghu said clearly.

The ability of Mohist ink technique to turn stone into gold has long been recognized by the government and the public. Even an ordinary ink technique can create great value. Naturally, no one who doesn't know the phase encourages Mohist to give ink technique.

With the performance of the six departments one by one, anyone can see that the national strength of Datang is booming and the situation is very good.

"Your Majesty, there is a good news from Yazhou, and the art of Confucian education has achieved initial results. Yazhou children enter school, and everyone is proud of being able to speak Mandarin. The people's heart to the Han Dynasty is increasing day by day. In less than five years, Yazhou will certainly be with the Central Plains. The people know etiquette and have no desire to rebel." Kong Yingda proudly stepped out and said in a loud voice.

In recent years, Confucianists have been overwhelmed by hundreds of other schools. Now they are finally proud of their achievements in education. Kong Yingda naturally will not miss this opportunity to make Confucianists famous and specially chose to report the good news at the end of the year.

"Good!" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.

For the Central Plains Dynasty, the barbarian land is like chicken ribs. It's a pity to abandon it. Conquering the barbarian land will expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Opening up and expanding the territory is the dream of every emperor, but how to manage it after conquest is another difficult problem, and repeated rebellions are a headache for the Central Plains Dynasty, The Confucian art of enlightenment created a good strategy for the court to govern the conquered land. At that time, it turned chicken ribs into delicious chicken legs.

"Of course, this also needs the help of the Mohist school." Kong Yingda was in a great mood and rarely took the initiative to show his merit for the Mohist school.

Many ministers nodded one after another, whether they liked Merton or not, but they could not deny that Merton did have two brushes. In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty has been booming, and the Mohist school can take great credit.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!" Yu Zhining suddenly stepped out.

"Please speak!" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.

"Tell your majesty that Yazhou tribute orange was originally a tribute to your majesty, but Mojia village openly sold it in Chang'an City, which is really detrimental to the royal dignity." Yu Zhining suddenly said.

"Tribute orange!" Li Shimin couldn't help looking sideways at Merton in the last row, and said, "Merton, how do you explain this?"

Merton had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, there are not two tribute oranges in Yazhou, but every family has planted them. The output is quite large. It is more than enough to meet the imperial palace. However, what about the remaining tribute oranges? Should they rot on the trees? Moreover, with the Mohist grafting technology, the orange forest will be everywhere in Yazhou in the coming year, and the yield of tribute oranges will increase several times, even if the palace eats tribute oranges three times a day cannot eat out.

Besides, your majesty asked the Confucian and Mohist families to cooperate to naturalize the Liao people in the three prefectures. If the tribute oranges in Yazhou are rotten on the trees, the people will still be poor. At that time, not to mention 100 Confucian scholars, I'm afraid it won't help if adult Yu goes to liaozhou to educate himself. "

"You!......" Yu Zhining said angrily.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "the yield of tribute oranges is huge. It's not impossible to fall into the market. Besides, I'm not a greedy person. How can I enjoy such delicious food alone? I'm not as happy as all the others. I'm happy with the people."

Li Shimin saw very clearly that a tribute orange can make Liao people naturalize in three states. How can it be worth thousands of dollars.

"Your Majesty is wise!" all the officials flattered one after another.

Kong Yingda is also rare to stand on Merton's side. Lang said: "the naturalization of Liao people in the three states is so smooth. Mohou's" getting rich classic "can be said to be a great contribution. Once Liao state is rich, everyone will speak Mandarin, and it will be obedient to the Tang Dynasty. There will be no rebellion.

"Getting rich classic!" Li Shimin nodded repeatedly. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's greatest harvest was not only delicious tribute oranges, but also the Confucian method of domesticating barbarians and the Mohist method of getting rich.

In particular, the sincere cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism in the domestication method and the barbarian method is almost inevitable and disadvantageous. Yazhou, which was originally very hostile to the Han people, is a living example.

For the Central Plains, although the miracle of Mojia village can not be copied, as long as you learn a few moves, you can benefit the people infinitely.

In particular, the first sentence of the wealth Sutra, if you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children, and have a variety of trees is regarded as a classic. Just this year, the court received a request for the construction of brick roads in more than 100 counties. The three vertical and five horizontal plans proposed by Merton have begun to take shape.

"I have some doubts about Mo Hou's" getting rich Sutra ", and I would like to ask him for advice." suddenly Yu Zhining said proudly.

Seeing that everyone's eyes focused on himself again, Merton couldn't help laughing bitterly. He was sitting at home, and disaster came from heaven.

"The so-called" getting rich Sutra "is just what the boy said in Mojia village. It is not a classic work, and it may not be applicable to other villages." Merton said quietly, as if he didn't care about the getting rich Sutra pursued by the world.

But Merton didn't know that the more his attitude was, the more he would arouse Yu Zhining's anger. If ordinary people could write the book of getting rich, they would want to be known all over the world, and Merton didn't seem to care at all, which made Yu Zhining jealous.

"Confucius said that he would examine me three times a day. Marquis Mo didn't care about his words and deeds, but he didn't know that his words and deeds affected the people all over the world. If Marquis Mo was so hasty, he misled the people all over the world and didn't know who would bear the responsibility." Yu Zhining angrily denounced.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the hall.
