Li Shimin summoned Zhao Yunze in the Liangyi Palace.After Cui Yuqing handed over the decree to Li Shimin, he left the Liangyi Hall and returned to Menxia Province to continue his duty.In the Liangyi Palace, in addition to those chamberlains and palace maids, only Li Shimin, Zhao Yunze and Su Dingfang remained."
Peng Yu came back very quickly, I have been worried, I am afraid that you will not be able to rush back to Chang'an on the day of the graduation ceremony of the martial arts hall."
Li Shimin held the teacup and said to Zhao Yunze while drinking tea."
Over there in Shicheng County, now everything is on the right track, and there is a house left to look at, and the minister will get out and go back to Chang'an."
Zhao Yunze said, "I haven't seen you for nearly half a year, Your Majesty's demeanor is better than in the past" "Hahaha, you Zhao Pengyu has been a magistrate for less than half a year, I don't know if other skills have increased, but this lip work has risen" Li Shimin laughed.Zhao Yunze said: "The ability of the ministers has naturally increased.The minister has been in Shicheng County for nearly half a year, but he is conscientious and conscientious, and he never dares to forget the promise made to His Majesty. ”"What does Shicheng County look like now?"
asked Li Shimin with interest.Zhao Yunze briefly stated to Li Shimin a series of measures he had implemented in Shicheng County.In the end, he concluded his speech and said: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to pack the ticket, if there is no accident, Shicheng County's tax revenue this year, conservatively estimated, can also increase by 30% compared with previous years." ”Li Shimin nodded and said: "If it is really as you said, there are so many businessmen stationed in your Shicheng Development Zone, it is indeed very possible that the commercial tax alone will increase the tax revenue of Shicheng County by 30% compared with previous years." ”Zhao Yunze said again: "Your Majesty, the minister said before that only by valuing industry and commerce can a country be rich.This time, the minister just wanted to make an attempt in Shicheng County to verify the minister's assertion.Nowadays, the construction of Shicheng County is in full swing, and as a result, the people also have the opportunity to make money, which is also a move to benefit the people. ”"Yes, as long as people are not idle, they are profitable.In the past, when farming was slack, the people could only rely on more labor to reduce the taxes they paid in kind.You have set up this development zone, you have workshops and shops, and when you are slack, it has also increased the opportunities for the people to make money.This is indeed a move for the benefit of the people. ”Li Shimin nodded and said."
Work hard, if you have great results in this development zone, then I will implement it in the whole Datang."
Zhao Yunze nodded and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to industry and commerce, this is a good thing.But then again, in everything you do, you must also grasp a certain degree.Don't rush anything.If all the states and counties in Datang are like Shicheng County, and all of them build development zones at once, first, there will not be so much capital and merchants.Second, even if these development zones are successfully completed, it is necessary to prevent the problem of overcapacity.If you can't sell what you produce, it will cause an economic crisis. ”Li Shimin smiled and said, "I naturally understand this truth.However, today's Datang is in ruins, and within ten or twenty years, I am afraid that there will be no problem of overcapacity as Peng Yu said.Besides, as you said, even if I encourage all states and counties to establish development zones, they may not all be able to do so. ”"That's just as well."
Zhao Yunze said, "It's the ministers who are worried about the sky." ”Different times lead to different perspectives.The economic crisis caused by overcapacity that Zhao Yunze mentioned was something that would only appear after the Industrial Revolution.Nowadays, productivity is low, even if the entire Datang starts industrial production, the materials produced may not be able to meet the needs of the people.To put it bluntly, it is still a seller's market, let alone ten or twenty years, as long as there is no large-scale industrial revolution and the productive forces enter the era of mechanization, that is, in another hundred or two hundred years, there will be no problem of overcapacity.Datang, in the final analysis, is still an agricultural country.Zhao Yunze is not an engineering student, and he will not build heavy industrial machinery such as machine tools, and it is a fantasy to lead Datang into the era of industrialization.Moreover, even if Zhao Yunze is given a modern heavy industry factory now, he is not capable of completing the industrial revolution.Because the industrial revolution can only be completed in a specific environment.The political system, the people's cognitive level, the allocation of social resources, internal and external factors, etc., are all indispensable.Those practices that can transform ancient feudal society into a capitalist society with only one machine tool can only appear in novels.All Zhao Yunze can do is to dedicate what he has learned to Datang.As long as he can bring many changes to Datang, it is not up to him to influence."
Peng Yu, put aside the affairs of Shicheng County for now.Today, I would like to hear your views on the use of firearms in actual combat. ”Li Shimin changed the topic and said to Zhao Yunze, "Come to think of it, Dingfang has already informed you about the firearms camp" Zhao Yunze nodded and said, "The minister already knows about the firearms camp." ”"Then do you have any insights into the future training and management of the firearms battalion?"
asked Li Shimin again.Zhao Yunze thought for a while and said: "The firearms battalion is different from other armies, and in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion, its establishment, training, and management are also different from other armies.The minister could not give his opinion without a detailed understanding of the firearms battalion.It's better to wait for the minister to understand the firearms camp, and then tell His Majesty how to do it" Li Shimin nodded and said: "This is what Peng Yu told me before, without investigation and research, there is no right to speak" "Your Majesty still remembers this sentence" Zhao Yunze was surprised.Li Shimin said: "This is insightful, and I will naturally not forget it."
That being the case, that Peng Yu will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, he will go to the firearms camp with the fixed party to investigate and study.I will give you three days, and after the morning of the twenty-sixth, I will listen to your high opinions. ”"One day is enough."
Zhao Yunze said, "The firearms battalion has just been established now, and all affairs have not yet been rolled out, so the minister does not need much time to investigate. ”"Whatever you want."
Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Peng Yu has worked hard all the way, so I won't delay you much."
Then go home and rest. ”Zhao Yunze and Su Lie left the Liangyi Palace, and just left the Taiji Palace, but found more than a dozen people from the Secret Service waiting outside the palace gate.Leading the team was Gongsun Lu, the deacon of the Research Department.With the dozen or so men came a carriage.The carriage was bulging and covered with a piece of felt cloth, and I don't know what it contained.As soon as Gongsun Lu and the others saw Zhao Yunze leave the palace, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute."
Deacon Gongsun, why are you here," Zhao Yunze asked in surprise.Gongsun Lu glanced at Su Lie with vigilant eyes.Zhao Yunze understood, and hurriedly said: "Captain Su is not an outsider, Deacon Gongsun has something to say. ”"My lord, we've made a hot air balloon
