Chapter 1301 Skills
Xiliang's policy of destroying Guo in a false way has a great theoretical chance of success.
However, Pan Mei still felt a little unsafe.
In other words, he is different from Guo Shouwen. As a surrendered minister, his identity and every word and action are not free. Even with the advice of Tang Chongshan and others, he is still uneasy.
So he compiled a letter and went to Luoyang to present the truth, and even borrowed troops in the letter.
Borrowing five thousand soldiers and horses in Lingzhou, five thousand cavalry in Longyou, plus twenty thousand from Xiliang, a total of 30,000 people were marching together, so that everything was foolproof.
After waiting for nearly half a month, the letter was almost at an accelerated level of 400 miles. After exhausted, more than ten horses were barely sent back to Liangzhou.
Pan Mei opened the letter with trembling all over, and saw that the emperor only wrote one word - accurate.
Below are the government orders of the Political Affairs Hall, drafted by Hanlin, stamped with several prime ministers and signatures, as well as written by the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
In this way, it is obvious that the emperor and the court completely agreed with his strategy, and the method of destroying Guo was feasible.
Of course, this was also a good time when he happened to run into a good time. After the imperial court held a meeting in front of the imperial court and accelerated the Northwest strategy, he completely got along.
Pan Mei got the desired result, which can be said to be in a good mood and a good mood.
At this time, he gathered several people from Xiliang Prefecture again, unified the steps, and decided to implement this plan in April.
Riding on the horse and looking at the vast grassland and the flowing rivers, he faced the wind with bright eyes and shouted: "From now on, gather all the troops and horses for me, don't stay in Liangzhou City."
"The Tang Dynasty is about to return to the Western Regions."
"General, I have heard the cheers."
Li Jilong accompanied him and echoed: "The lonely souls and war souls of the four towns of Anxi have begun to welcome us. Although two hundred years have passed, the Tang Dynasty is still indelible."
In fact, his father guessed it right.
Uncle Pan, who had experienced few wars, had already grasped the situation in the turbid waters of Xiliang. Even the governor of Xiliang, Tang Chongshan, had to cooperate with him.
The small and firm Xiliang Prefecture will shock the entire Western Regions.
Pan Mei is also ambitious and is named Bo and Marquis. This is his opportunity, his dream.
This moment is coming, it's so wonderful.
He didn't care much about the return of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions, but this was enough to make him do his best.
"Jilong, the emperor said that the position of the Count will be reduced by the brave captain, and it will not be reduced by the stones, right?"
"That's right!" Li Jilong nodded.
"This is much better than the previous dynasties. If we can inherit the title, we will work hard to make a living with the country."
"A lieutenant who earns 100 stones a year can keep some food for future generations, right?"
Li Jilong couldn't help but imagine that his father Li Chuyun was also a viscount in the wholesale. He inherited the baron and his son was the lieutenant, and then he disappeared.
I have to work hard, otherwise the battle will be gone.
...
The northwest is in full swing, but the entire Central Plains is rapidly recovering from the war and productivity continues to develop.
For example, in steel, although 90% of the iron is used for ordnance manufacturing, the remaining 10% is still a significant number.
After Li Jia unified the country, the Transportation Service naturally unified the national tax revenue, and copper and iron continued to be specialized, resulting in a large amount of tax revenue.
From this, after several years of sorting out, we finally came up with a relatively accurate iron output - more than 5 million jin.
According to the rough 2,000 kilograms per ton, it is 2,500 tons.
Private iron ore inherited 20% of the taxes from the former Tang Dynasty.
Five million kilograms, which is calculated based on thirty kilograms of armor, is 200,000 pieces.
It's not too much, but it's a lot more than the previous Tang Dynasty.
It’s nothing more. It’s really warlords’ separatist, the amount of iron ore mining continues to rise, and in order to reap wealth, they are rushing to forge iron coins.
This greatly promoted the outbreak of iron production.
During the Yuanhe period of the pre-Tang Dynasty, it was only two million jin.
The 500,000 kilograms of pig iron and forged agricultural tools are only 100,000 or 200,000 pieces.
However, this also greatly promoted productivity, after all, I used to serve the army.
The one with the largest iron production is Shu, which lacks copper, namely Xichuan, Badong and Xingyuan Prefectures.
Due to the lack of copper, several generations of Shu King forged a lot of iron coins, and the iron production increased significantly, surpassing the whole country.
"This kind of output is not good!"
Seeing the memorial of the Transportation Commission, the emperor couldn't help but say to Hu Binwang: "In the next few years, there will be many places to use troops, and replacement equipment and agricultural tools must be used!"
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should be based on agriculture and should be in danger."
After ten years of fighting in the north and south, Li Jia was finally able to take a breath and develop her energy. Her first goal is naturally handicrafts.
In handicrafts, mining is the top priority.
Copper ore can make money, and iron ore can increase the combat effectiveness of the army and promote the development of productivity.
"How many iron ore are there in Shaofu?"
"Your Majesty, the small iron ore is sold out, and only some large iron ore are left in your hands, producing millions of kilograms of iron every year."
Li Anguo reported softly that his wife Zhengqing of the Young Mansion had appeared a little too long.
When Hu Binwang heard this, his pupils shrank. What a good guy, the Shaofu actually had 20% of the entire world's output.
In other words, the annual output is 6 million kilograms of iron.
"The main part of Shaofu Temple is Shilu Iron Mine. Although the output is large, the cost is high, and the use of iron is still insufficient. Whether it is shipbuilding or other aspects, a large amount of iron is required and cannot be misappropriated for the time being."
"Yes!" Hu Binwang nodded.
The emperor said so, what can he do?
"The Transport Office will increase the iron ore production as much as possible, such as the farmer's curved plow and the barrel truck, pay attention to skills and achieve half the result with twice the effort."
Li Jia popularized the importance of technology. For minerals and iron smelting, technological progress is the most important.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, the iron output was only a few million kilograms. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the lack of private mines and low taxes, the steel output increased to 30 million kilograms.
During the Jiajing period, it even exceeded 100 million jin.
Such as blast furnace technology, piston blowers, etc., are all created and popularized by private iron plants.
"Teachers such as blast furnaces and blowers should be rewarded more, and don't be stingy."
"No!" Hu Binwang nodded, and he was quite serious about his political achievements.
"I've finished talking about it, where is the copper mine?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Copper, gold and silver, these three are coins, which are acceptable to the people of the whole country. Increased production can also alleviate the shortage of money."
"Your Majesty, there is very little gold and silver all over the country, and copper ores are exhausted. Only Jinshan Island can produce large-scale production."
