Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 119 Development is the last word

"Your Majesty, our Great Tang must develop. If we don't develop, we will be bullied. Development is the last word."

It's a rare opportunity to brainwash Li Shimin, so Qin Xiedao naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Development is the last word? How do you explain this?"

Li Shimin selectively ignored "If you don't develop, you will be bullied", because he was bullied by Turkic people just this year.

"I heard that during the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the reason why there was no widespread famine was because there was a large amount of grain stored in righteous warehouses in various places.

Our Tang Dynasty has only been established for nine years, and many people still have relatively deep memories of the situation in the Sui Dynasty.

Although the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty had made the people tired of war and looked forward to peace.

However, in the current Datang Dynasty, if we do not develop, we will regress. Only when the principle of development is hardened can we take the initiative.Only development can show the superiority of the Central Plains dynasty over the Turkic people and strengthen the belief of the people that the Tang Dynasty will win.

Therefore, I feel that the court should insist on development is the last word. Only by continuous development can we defeat the Turks, realize the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and realize the great revival of the Central Plains Dynasty! "

When it comes to the ability to fool people, Qin Xiedao thinks he is second, absolutely no one is worthy of the first place.

It was just a simple sentence, but Qin Xiedao eloquently derived a large amount of truth.

Li Shimin was taken aback by what he said.

No matter how smart you are, you have never experienced the information explosion society of later generations, nor have you experienced the highly summarized political theories of later generations.

As long as Qin Xiedao casually throws out some conclusions, he can calm down Li Shimin.

Obviously, "development is the last word", this simple topic completely aroused Li Shimin's interest.

"Does this development have anything to do with the solution to the refugee problem you just mentioned?"

Although Li Shimin felt that what Qin Xiedao said seemed to make sense, he felt that it seemed a bit off topic.

"Of course it has something to do with it! How will Datang develop? How will His Majesty work hard? This is not something that can be achieved simply by shouting slogans.

In order to improve the national power of the Tang Dynasty, the first thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, solve the problem of employment for the people, and solve the problems of life, old age, sickness and death for the people.

For example, a briquette workshop solved the food, clothing and employment problems of thousands of refugees; a wool workshop solved the food, clothing and employment problems of more than 1000 people.

If Datang can build more workshops, it will attract more people to work as helpers in the workshops.

Of course, this premise is that Datang's grain production can increase.

When the envoys of Linyi came to see His Majesty, His Majesty should have been very clear about the rice situation in Linyi.

At the beginning of spring next year, the new Linyi rice will be promoted from Guannei Road.

At the same time, the situation of rice in Linyi can be promoted in Jiangnan Road, and this information can be disseminated.

The merchants and nobles in places like Suzhou and Hangzhou will naturally find ways to grow this new type of rice. "

Qin Xiedao has never been able to sign in and produce a potato or sweet potato. He doesn't know what conditions he must meet to have this opportunity.

In this case, we can only promote Linyi rice first.

Combined with the promotion of Zhenguan plow, Datang's grain output, normally speaking, will definitely increase by [-] to [-] percent next year.

After Linyi rice is popularized, the overall grain output can increase by another [-] to [-] percent.

In this way, although it cannot be said that the problem of food and clothing for the common people has been solved, it can already greatly alleviate the food problem.

"Your idea is very good, but apart from the honeycomb coal workshop, it seems that there are not so many workshops that need to be built."

Li Shimin is now a fan of the authorities.

For the feudal dynasty in the agricultural society, what I like to see most is that all the people work in their own fields in peace.

For all kinds of workshops, there is simply not enough attention.

If you don't pay attention to the workshop, naturally you don't know how much room for the development of the workshop.

"This is actually very simple. When Weichen arranged for people to build workshops outside the city, he had already asked people to try burning some new building materials. Once successful, the imperial court can rely on road construction to stimulate the establishment of a batch of workshops." .

At the same time, many workshops related to food, clothing, housing and transportation still have a lot of room for development. "

When it comes to Datang, cement is definitely indispensable.

Whether it is building roads, houses, or building fortresses on the frontier, the advantages of cement are incomparable.

The most important thing is that the processing difficulty of this thing is not high at all.

Datang, which can produce exquisite porcelain, is fully capable of producing cement on a large scale, but everyone didn't know how to produce cement before.

After this layer of paper was pierced by Qin Xiedao, cement was born naturally.

Compared with later generations, it is nothing more than that there is no way to reach some high-level levels in terms of labeling.

But the first thing that needs to be done now is to solve the problem of availability, and other things can be discussed later.

"Why didn't your suggestion ask the court to encourage the people to reclaim more farmland and grow more food?"

No matter how powerful Li Shimin is, he is still an ancient man, and the limitations of the times will inevitably exist.

"Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life. Agriculture is naturally very important, but compared with expanding the planting area, increasing the grain yield per mu and finding high-yield grain is of greater significance.

As for the development of industry, opening more workshops is an important guarantee for everyone to become stronger and richer.

Your Majesty, if you look at those merchants, they only need to transport Datang porcelain or iron wares to the barbarians, and they can sell for a lot of money, but if it is food, it is estimated that they will not even be able to recover the cost.

This is the major gap between industrial and agricultural products.For a country, as long as there is enough tax revenue, there are many things that the court can do.

But simply raising the agricultural tax is obviously not a good way.At this time, the development of workshops and commerce can quickly increase tax revenue, allowing the court to have more money to build water conservancy projects, build roads and bridges. "

Qin Xiedao would certainly not deny the importance of agriculture.

No farming is unstable, even in later generations, this principle is also applicable.

But the development of industry and commerce was what Qin Xiedao was eager to promote.

"You build a few workshops first, and I will talk about other things after seeing the effect."

When it comes to the focus of future development, Li Shimin must be very cautious.

He won't change his mind based on Qin Xiedao's words.

"Yes, we'll talk about it later, Your Majesty, come, let's have hot pot."

Seeing this, Qin Qiong at the side immediately changed the topic to eating and drinking.

Listening to Qin Xiedao talking about major national affairs was too scary. Qin Qiong felt that his little heart couldn't bear it.
