Chapter 309 Chang'an is still
Although even the imperial edict has been issued, Qin Mubai wants to leave Lanzhou, not to say that he can leave. First of all, he took a group of officials such as Xiao Liang, the governor of Lanzhou, to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is an important transit station on the Silk Road, which is like a source of living water, which is very important. Previously, Qin Mubai personally presided over the policies to support businessmen here, and he was personally responsible for many things. Now, he transferred all these things to Xiao Liang, Xue Wanche and others.
Then, Qin Mubai went to Dafeichuan again to check the progress of military and agriculture and animal husbandry here. The situation is not bad. Although Xue Wanjun is a fierce general who is only good at fighting and not good at civil affairs, anyone can do things like painting gourds. According to the strategy left by Qin Mubai, he rectified the military animal yak and Tubo war horses, and did a good job. Moreover, Qin Mubai talked to his father and wanted the soldiers and horses under the governor's government of Lanzhou to rotate on schedule. They all went to Dafeichuan to train for a period of time and gradually adapt to the gradient climate of the plateau there.
Dafeichuan has gradually begun to produce beef, milk and other products. By the way, Tang people are not used to drinking milk, but Qin Mubai issued it as a military order to let the sergeants drink more. If it is extra, take it out and sell it to Hu merchants on the Silk Road, or make it into milk wine for sale. It is also a lot of income as military expenses.
On the last trip, Qin Mubai went to Tiegu. The development here is really thousands of miles in a day. At first, Qin Mubai only brought a simple earth cannon manufacturing process. Now, through the research and research by more than 100 outstanding craftsmen in the past two years, with gunpowder as the center, an industrial chain is gradually forming.
Especially when they knew that the cannon in red was greatly encouraged by the great achievements of Da Feichuan. Although Li Shimin has also made a secret decree to commend the "responsible person" of Tiegu, Tu Youhai and others, this huge sense of honor and responsibility cannot be replaced by the praise of any wealth. Now, the craftsmen in Tiegu have all been awarded medals (such as first-class merit, second-class merit, etc.), and the treatment in all aspects is extremely excellent.
On the one hand, they enjoy extremely high treatment, and on the other hand, they enjoy the supreme honor, so they all work harder. Such an atmosphere is gradually formed in the Iron Valley - forging ahead, positive, enjoying glory, and a strong sense of responsibility.
Qin Mubai was quite gratified and secretly excited. At the beginning, I was just a flash in my mind and wanted to open the Yangdi Mausoleum in Xiangzhou with explosives. Unexpectedly, the butterfly's wings gently blew, which really formed a technological whirlwind.
In time, what kind of glory will the powerful Emperor Tian of the Tang Dynasty create with unparalleled economic strength, splendid culture and unique technology?
Now that the governor's office has its own money, Qin Mubai has allocated a large part of the funds to Tiegu to support scientific research here and improve the living environment of "engineers". In just one year, it has been built like a paradise and a sky fortress. Not only is the environment elegant and the living conditions are superior, but also the defense is as strict as the palace. It has become the most important and mysterious military research base in the Tang Dynasty.
Except for Qin Mubai's hand order and himself, no one recognizes the people here. Of course, except for Li Shimin, who may not come here in his life.
Qin Mubai spent more than half a month walking around these places and sorting out a thick chapter. When he went back, he had to inform the emperor. Here in Lanzhou, from sending troops, Tuntian to moving people, fighting and even developing Tiegu, it has spent at least two years of income from the Tang treasury in just one year. If there is no wonderful return, how can it be done?
Of course, there are many things that can only be eternal military secrets and cannot be made public. For example, the existence of Iron Valley.
After the inspection, the work to be handed over was also handed over. Qin Mubai was finally ready to leave for Chang'an. But I was so anxious to wait for Princess Gaoyang.
Qin Mubai asked the general Qi Heli, who escorted the princess when he came, stayed to assist his father, and took Qinxun's Baiqi Guard and 500 Yueqi to escort him. Under the help of Qin Shubao and others, he left Lanzhou City.
When the people heard that the young general was going to leave Lanzhou and return to Beijing to get married with Princess Gaoyang, they were all extremely happy. They spontaneously organized a "parade" to send them off, and told Qin Mubai that after getting married, they had to go back to Lanzhou again!
Princess Gaoyang, who returned home like an arrow, was also moved by the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou, and almost moved to stay for a few more days. Qin Mubai scolded her as a child with no individuality. Does she want to enjoy being cheered again? So he urged the car to drive away.
"Mubai, you are so awesome!" Princess Gaoyang sat in the car, poked her head out and pointed to the lushness in front of her, and said, "I remember that when I came here, it was still a desert. In just half a year, it has turned into grassland and woods! Haha, there is a lot less wind and sand. There are canals and post stations along the way, so I can take a shower whenever I want!"
"How many things can I do alone? This means that there are more people and more power. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "After moving people and attracting merchants from Lanzhou, this area has gradually developed. Those herdsmen began to plant trees and grass with the support of the governor's office, and many people also opened post stations and hotels with tents. Nothing else, just because it's profitable, you know? Planting grass, trees, opening canals to divert water, the governor's government will give money to exempt remote service; opening a post station hotel can make money from the caravan. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Lanzhou will be rich soon.
"Hee hee, Mu Bai, you are so capable! No wonder my father asked you to come to Lanzhou!" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "You know, there is a lot of criticism in the court about my father's decision!" In particular, Lanzhou spent so much money and had to move people into Lanzhou, and even his father almost couldn't control it. Fortunately, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, and Li Wei, the prime minister, came forward to support it, otherwise the bill might not pass! If that bill is not passed, you will definitely be transferred back to Chang'an. You can't stay in Lanzhou!"
Qin Mubai gently picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled and said, "What should I say? How many Confucians are in the dynasty? Confucian rule has its advantages and disadvantages. What I have done is a little contrary to Confucianism. It is natural for them to oppose it, because they hate businessmen in their bones, hate mercenary, and hate me, a stupid boy who doesn't rule Confucian classics. In the minds of the great scholars, the best era is always ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors, the mirror, hehe! And I am very realistic. The army has money, food and equipment. The soldiers live a good life and work hard. The people live and work in peace and live and are proud of the country. That is the king's way. If you want the horse to run and the horse doesn't eat grass, that kind of unrealistic spiritual victory method is all floating in my opinion.
"Wow... Why are you so profound that I can't understand what you said?" Princess Gaoyang turned her eyes a few times, "Then why would my father agree with your actions?" However, he doesn't have to take a tough stance to support you and refute those who oppose it?
"How can he do this? Can I, Qin Mubai, replace everyone in the court?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "After all, the Tang Dynasty still governs the country with Confucianism and teaches all people with benevolence and filial piety. This set doesn't work in Lanzhou, but it still work for the whole world. His Majesty has the overall situation of the world in his heart. Of course, he can't just stare at Lanzhou at a glance. Fortunately, Lanzhou has made some achievements, otherwise he can't even make it. In fact, even if your father is the emperor, he can't do whatever he wants. I finally understand why your father has become a wise king. He is an amazing person, and the most amazing thing is his heart. In fact, although the Tang Dynasty ruled the country with Confucianism, you and your father and emperor were not bound by Confucianism. He is very pragmatic, has a thorough understanding of the ideas of "encraft" and can accommodate different ideas and schools - of course, the premise is that it is useful. The sea is full of rivers, and the tolerance is great. This is not easy after Han Wu deposed the exclusive Confucianism of hundreds of families, do you know?
"Wow... The more I listen, the more confused I become. I don't want to listen to it! What kind of national trend, what kind of Confucian and business legalist Han Wu, I don't understand, I don't understand!" Princess Gaoyang covered her ears and shook her head repeatedly, "Don't listen! ...Hey, why don't you tell me a story? I remember that a long time ago, you told me a story about a bad man. It's not over. It's a long way. Why don't you continue to tell me this story to amuse me?
"What bad man?" Qin Mubai was puzzled.
"That's what... West Gate and East Gate?"
"Ah, Ximenqing?" Qin Mubai was stunned, "When did I tell you such an evil and impure story?"
"Yes, yes, it's Ximen Qing, hey hey!" A bad smile appeared on Princess Gaoyang's face that made Qin Mubai's lower abdomen angry. "I remember that you said... Ximen Qing is going to get that lotus!" Haha, go on, this story is exciting! - Hey, you men, do you think other people's wives are good?
"Uh? ..." Qin Mubai was stunned, "No talk!"
"No, I want it!" Princess Gaoyang curled her lips, "If you don't say it, I will... I won't leave!" I'm sick! I cheated so that I couldn't get out of Lanzhou for a month. Do you believe it?
"How dare you!" Qin Mubai stared at everyone, gritted his teeth and said viciously, "If you are messing around, I won't tosss you to death at night!"
"Hee hee, are you afraid of you? Come here!" Princess Gaoyang laughed more and more evilly, hooked her fingers and said with a smile, "I remember what you said, there are only tired cows and no ploughed fields. As a brave and good fighter, how can I be afraid of you? Haha!"
"Damn it..." Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment and muttered with blinking his eyes, "This is really a church apprentice to kill the master!"
"Hey hey, you're still from this princess! Come on, let's talk! - Get in the car, get in the car! Such an exciting story will definitely make people's blood boil, right? Hey hey, then we will..." Princess Gaoyang stretched out her petite tongue and licked her lips. "That's it, you must understand."
"Do you still want a car shock?" Qin Mubai patted his skull and was completely speechless: In the future, I will never teach her these things again! This little devil has a good memory and is too evil. What beast blood is boiling, Ximenqing, wife, car shock... Which one is not good, what to learn!
......
Lanzhou is 1,245 miles away from the capital. The car doesn't drive fast, and it smells like playing in the mountains and rivers. After walking for a whole month, I finally saw the Weishui Bridge.
Princess Gaoyang jumped out of the car and looked at the ancient city of Chang'an jumping excitedly in the distance: "Haha, I'm home! - I smelled the smell of Chang'an, how prosperous it is... delicious!"
Qin Mubai grinned at the corners of his mouth: "Have you ever studied? What kind of sentences are these?
"Hey hey, I just like it! I miss the palace so much, and I miss those exquisite palace dishes! In addition, what I miss most is my mother and my father. Princess Gaoyang took Qin Mubai's elbow, looked up at him, and said in a soft voice, "Mubai, we are finally getting married. It's been a few years, and it's as unreal as a dream! Many things seem to have happened yesterday.
"Oh, you still sighed." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "After a break, I'm ready to leave for Chang'an."
"Uh-huh!" Princess Gaoyang clapped her hands. Qin Mubai knew what she was going to say and rushed to say--
"Go to my house first!"
"Advanced Palace!"
The two of them said it at the same time. Qin Mubai stared, and Princess Gaoyang curled her lips, "Okay, I'll go to your house first and see... my mother-in-law and sister-in-law..."
"Hey hey, you can teach me." Qin Mubai patted her face proudly, "Remember, when you come to my house, you are not a princess, but a daughter-in-law. If you dare to put on a princess's airs and stare at my mother and my sister, and look at me if I won't deal with you.
"Don't worry, I don't have a beard..." Princess Gaoyang touched her lips with a bitter face and said bitterly, "How do I feel that the days of my oppression and bullying are coming?"
"It won't be." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "At most... be a cow and a horse!"
"Wow..." Princess Gaoyang cried and said, "Why did I get on your thief ship!"
"I didn't let you get on. Not only did you break in by yourself, but you didn't buy a boat ticket." Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Well, I won't tease you. Hurry up. My mother and my sister must be leaning against the door! They will like you very much and treat you as a relative. Well, it's like treating me."
"Hey hey, I knew it! I've seen both your mother and Shuang'er. She's so good! I'm not worried about anything - let's go, go home!" Princess Gaoyang cheered like a child and shouted regardless of her image, "Chang'an, I have returned triumphantly with my son-in-law!"
A group of people were amused. The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched a few times, and he pushed her angrily: "Get in the car, don't twitch!"
The princess returned, and the court sent a guard of honor and soldiers and horses out of the city to welcome him. The position was not small. Obviously, the people in Chang'an City also know the news, and there are many people watching the bustle along the street.
Qin Mubai rode into Chang'an City on the horse, and a familiar smell of his hometown came, and he felt warm in his heart.
"Chang'an is still the same, I'm back again. This time, I don't know how long I can stay?" He smiled and said to himself, "It's finally time to get a family... Although Linger is a little demonic, she will never lack happiness with her. Along the way, we have gone through thousands of obstacles. Now... it's a good result!"
