Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 82

Zuo Ming couldn't stand Li Shimin being so impatient.It didn't take long to say goodbye to the queen and return home.

Afterwards, Zuo Ming asked Yun Niang to prepare chariots and horses for him, and then drove all the way to Dafeichuan.

At this moment, there was only Wang Siyan and Zuo Qian over there. They could handle small things, but he had to make up his mind on big things.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in Xirong Road is indeed much better than before, and Zuo Ming's rationalized grazing policy has been well implemented.Moreover, the herdsmen in the past only knew how to let the cattle and sheep eat grass, but they didn't know how to grow grass by themselves, but now, Zuo Ming has changed this situation.

It can be said that there is so much pasture in Xirong Road that it cannot be eaten up.

Of course, Zuo Ming did this not only for the herdsmen of Xirong Road, in fact, it was more to make the water of the Yellow River clear again.

The reason why the water of the Yellow River is turbid is precisely because of soil erosion on the Loess Plateau, and a large amount of sediment flows into the riverbed along the river.If things go on like this, the riverbed of the Yellow River will become higher and higher due to the deposition of sediment, which has ironclad evidence in later generations.

If he wanted to stop this vicious change, he could only start from the source.

First of all, the residents on the Loess Plateau should not be allowed to overgraze. Secondly, more trees should be planted on both sides of the Yellow River to stabilize the soil.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, but Zuo Ming believes that even if he is not truly able to live forever, he will definitely be able to see the water of the Yellow River become clear in his lifetime.

The so-called Dafeichuan Bazaar is just a few earthen houses, which looks quite simple, but there are actually quite a few people gathered there.

It's just that, because the trade goods are all cattle and sheep, the whole market is a bit messy.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Zuo Ming unfortunately stepped on a pile of cow dung.

After rubbing his shoes on the ground very depressed, Zuo Ming walked all the way to his shop.

The name of their shop is very grand, the name is "Zuo's Firm".However, there are indeed a lot of things they buy and sell, and they are worthy of the title of "commercial firm".

After arriving at the firm, Zuo Ming changed a pair of shoes, and then found Zuo Qian, "Uncle Qian, why is no one cleaning up the excrement of cattle and sheep on the street?"

"It's not that no one is cleaning it, it's that it can't be cleaned!" Zuo Qian said helplessly, "You cleaned up on the front foot, and someone pulled a pile on the back foot for you. There is really no way."

"Well, let's go back to the west and set up a livestock sales area! In the future, cattle and sheep will not be brought here, and this area will be used exclusively as a grocery area."

Nodding his head, Zuo Ming pondered for a while, and then said.

"This method is feasible, I will let people start to do it later!"

Zuo Qian also thought it was feasible, so he took a piece of paper and took notes.This can be regarded as their Zuo Fu's style of doing things, and they must write down everything they hear.

"It's almost the end of the year, and I'll ask Yunniang to come over later, so you can work harder and forget about celebrating the New Year here. Oh! By the way, remember to ask those profiteers to collect the shop rent."

Seeing that Zuo Qian wrote down this matter, Zuo Ming showed a rare trace of guilt, and then said.

"It's okay! Although it's a bit hard here, I can learn a lot, and it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge. But madam, I think it's better to let her go back to Chang'an. You have been married for almost a year, and she has no stomach anymore. If there is any movement, you will be laughed at."

With a simple and honest smile, Zuo Qian said freely.

"Who dares to laugh at me for knocking out his teeth!"

Another one who urged him to have a baby, Zuo Ming was really tired.

Unhappily said such a harsh word, Zuo Ming changed the subject again, and mentioned the one thing he was most concerned about, "That's right! I heard that there are a group of Tuyuhun people in the west and some businessmen from Jiangnan who also want to Build a bazaar too?"

"You didn't mention it, I almost forgot! There was such a thing a while ago, but they were all dismissed by the governor. After all, our family is the operator of Dafeichuan appointed by the royal family. This is also different from Middle-earth, there is no Royal consent, they can't do it."

Zuo Qian said with a light smile, he couldn't help showing a trace of pride on his face when he said this.

He was just a hunter a year ago, but now even if the governor's subordinates see him, they have to respectfully call him "Left Butler", which is something he never dared to think about before.

However, he said happily, but Zuo Ming frowned slightly, "This is not good! I came to Dafeichuan not just to make money. Although monopoly management is easy to control the overall situation, it is not conducive to Xirong Road and The rapid fusion of Middle-earth. Turn back—no! I will go to see the Lord Governor now!"

With that said, Zuo Ming got up and went out the door under Zuo Qian's surprised gaze.

Zuo Ming's visit, Ma Zhou gave enough face and went out to meet him in person.

He used to be the emperor's confidant, but now he has become the prince's confidant. He naturally knows the importance of Zuo Ming in the eyes of the royal family.

It can be said that none of the great changes in Datang over the past year have left the figure of this young man.

Ma Zhou treated each other with courtesy, but Zuo Ming didn't dare to take it too seriously, because he knew that this Ma Zhou had real skills, unlike him, a copied genius.

After saluting, Zuo Ming straight to the point stated his purpose of coming.

Hearing that Zuo Ming actually wanted to open up the entire Dafeichuan and even the entire Xirong Road, Ma Zhou was very surprised, but at the same time, he felt a strong admiration.

"People say that Zuo Hou is the one who got into the eyes of money. It seems that he has misunderstood Lord Hou! To be honest with Lord Hou, in fact, Ma has already had this idea, but Ma is very soft-spoken and dare not make a decision on his own. It made Lord Hou laugh."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to be like this! As an official in the court, you naturally have to think carefully, and you don't know the sages, so you have no taboos. It is just a person who is ignorant! If you have a decision in the future, you don't have to think about it. Just implement it! After all, although I have the right to manage Dafeichuan, Xirong Dao still wants the prince to be the master, and the adults are the assistants!"

Although Ma Zhou didn't say it clearly, Zuo Ming could tell that he was worried about himself, so he chose to suppress those businessmen who wanted to build a market.It can be regarded as a bad thing done with good intentions, but this is probably a common problem of Tang officials today.

There is no shortage of good officials in the Tang Dynasty, but those people have been in the officialdom for a long time, and their worries have gradually increased, because before they do practical things, they must first ensure that their black hats will not be dropped.

In order to dispel Ma Zhou's scruples, Zuo Ming naturally wanted to explain everything.

Ma Zhou really admired Zuo Ming for expressing his attitude so straightforwardly, and he was not worried at the moment, and chatted with Zuo Ming about some of his thoughts.

This Ma Zhou is really an administrative talent. From people's livelihood and livelihood to intermarriage, this guy actually has a complete set of plans.

After listening to his thoughts, Zuo Ming's thoughts also gradually expanded. He found that it didn't seem too difficult to integrate Tuyuhun into Tang Dynasty!
The trade between Dafeichuan has laid the foundation tone, allowing Xirong Road to have a material connection with Middle-earth.Then the next step is to get blood and spiritual contact with them!

First of all, what they have to do is to promote the intermarriage between the two ethnic groups in the border area, and then open private schools.

As long as these two things are done well, the entire Xirong Road will gradually become a whole with Zhongtu!Of course, it is not easy to do these two things well.After all, the gap between the two races is too deep.

However, Ma Zhou had no choice, but Zuo Ming had a way.

First of all, he took out the tricks that some countries in his previous life encouraged marriage and childbirth - donating houses and compulsory education!
For every Han-Tibetan intermarried family, he would ask them to give them a house for free, and there are several large grasslands along with the house.In addition, their children will also have the opportunity to study in Zuo's Academy for free.Although you can only study for five years, if you are still a stick after five years, then you can't blame others.

Secondly, in order to introduce the culture of the Tang Dynasty to Xirong Road, he also contacted Hu Ke and Lian Er and asked them to arrange a performance troupe to perform some dramas on the plateau that did not require too much equipment.

Of course, most of these dramas are love stories, and the audience, of course, is the young people of the Han and Tibetan races.

This time, Zuo Ming really invested a lot of money. For this reason, he directly borrowed 1000 million usury loans from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is really black-hearted to the bone, Zuo Ming wholeheartedly works for him, and he wants to exploit him.

Zuo Ming spent one-third of the money just to ask Mr. Shu for teaching!

It's just that the wages definitely can't be spent so much, but after signing the five-year deed of prostitution, you have to give them a place to live!

If you live for such a long time, you have to pay for food, otherwise those old men who are far away from home will starve to death?At this time, few men can cook by themselves.However, there are no restaurants or restaurants in Dafeichuan.

The rest of the money was spent on invitations from the troupe and the construction of the Dafeichuan Theater.It is impossible for him to spend money to invite Hu Ke and the others to come over. Although the money ended up only flowing into his wife's pocket, Xirong Road must have its own drama art, and that can be regarded as true cultural integration.

In addition to these borrowed money, Zuo Ming also spent a lot of his own money to print various books.Among them was the five-year compulsory education textbook that he had prepared for a long time!
His textbooks are definitely not as perfect as those in his previous life. There are only four subjects in total, one Chinese, one mathematics, one natural and one history.

Needless to say, Chinese, just reading and literacy.Mathematics is also some basic calculations.If it is natural, it is some very basic natural knowledge, such as morning glow and sunset glow traveling thousands of miles without going out.Only in the lesson of history, Zuo Ming put a lot of effort into it. Although there are not many words, he talked about it from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why he did this was to make those Tibetans identify with the Han people in terms of thinking, and make them feel that they, like the Han people, are descendants of the Chinese people.Since they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, it means that we are all one family, and there is no need to separate them too much.
