Datang: Valkyrie chat group

"The sea-going ships built in Dengzhou are all large ships of several thousand shi, with three masts and three masts. They do not rely on manpower, but rely on the power of the sea wind to operate. The ships on the sea are better than those of my Tang Dynasty... ...bigger ships are safer and faster."

Tang Feng said.

Hearing Tang Feng's words, the king of Tang......had a strong interest in the sea-going ship built in Dengzhou.

"If I have time, I would like to go to Dengzhou to have a look, and take a trip to Mount Tai on the way."

Tang Wang said.

Tang Feng's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this.

p; Taishan Fengchan and!

Chapter 821: News from Dengzhou

Taishan Fengzen! From ancient times to the present, there have been many kings enshrining Zen in Taishan, but each of these emperors is a holy king who has made a career.

With the achievements of Tang Wang, he is qualified to go to the Taishang to enshrine Zen.

However, enshrining Zen in Mount Tai is often done when the emperor is late.

Considering the age of King Tang, if it is placed in later generations, at that time, logically speaking, he still has many years to go, and he can still control the empire for 30 years.

It's a pity that the level of medical care in this era is poor, and the average life expectancy of people is low. Being able to live to 60 years old is considered a long life.

Especially for emperors, seldom can live beyond 70 years old.

Perhaps, watching his empress die of illness in the past few years, this... the founder of the prosperous Tang Dynasty also felt sad in his heart.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng thought ""

Can't help but sigh.

No matter how powerful you are, you are still no match for God. Even a hero like Tang Wang will eventually grow old.

Especially these heroes, whenever they get old, they will be more afraid of death, so they will try their best to find the way of longevity and try to extend their lifespan.

The former king of Qin, Yingzheng, sent Xu Fu to the sea to look for Penglai Island, an overseas fairy mountain, hoping to get the elixir of immortality from there.

And Tang Wang never stopped looking for Bai Yujing.

It's just that gods don't exist in themselves and are all fictional. How can people really live forever?

"Since you have returned to the capital, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will arrest you. I don't ask for anything else. I only ask that you do a good job in tax matters this year, and don't make any mistakes."

Tang Wang said slowly.

Tang Feng bowed and saluted.

Taxes, in fact, are all ready-made, even if he does nothing, it should be as much or as much...

After all, Datang’s population is only that small. Although the growth rate has not been slow in recent years, population growth, especially the growth of the labor force, is a relatively slow process that often takes decades to develop within one generation.

Especially in this era, the existence of aristocratic families is destined to hide a lot of land and labor.

Just black households, today's Datang is afraid that there are no less than several million.

And these... black households are all bound to the land of the powerful families. Although everyone knows it, they often turn a blind eye to it.

Even King Tang is aware of this, but he can only watch.

There is no way, the influence of aristocratic families is too great in this era.

At that time, Emperor Sui Yang implemented a new land policy and tried to increase the national tax, but in the end, because he touched the interests of the aristocratic family, he was pushed down from the throne of the emperor by the aristocratic family, and then Li Tang was able to establish the country.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is nothing more than the spokesperson of the aristocratic family.

Aristocratic families in this era have the ability to change.

The court is stable, and the Quartet is also relatively stable. At present, the king of Tang is getting along with the world fairly well, and everyone does not interfere with the river. He, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is naturally idle.

As for the matter of increasing taxes from the aristocratic family, he will not do it at present.

However, reformers often do not come to an end.

In the matter of the aristocratic family being strong and powerful, the reform methods of the later generations are not advisable at all.

Even if he has the emperor's support, once he touches the fundamental interests of the aristocratic family, the result will not be too good.

Taxes are collected steadily, that is.

With the large-scale planting of potatoes, it can be expected that by the time of the autumn harvest, there will be a bumper harvest everywhere.

Although the taste of potatoes is not very good, but in this era of extreme scarcity, it is very rare to be able to fill the stomach. Who cares whether the taste of the food is good or not.

Based on the yield of potatoes,

After the bumper harvest, basically, there will be no widespread famine.

This is very difficult to do in the Li Dynasty.

It was already noon when we left Daming Palace.

Tang Feng didn't go to other places, but went back to his home directly.

From Anyang, news came back that Changle mother and son had left Anyang under the escort of Zhao Ping and others, and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

If you calculate the time, at most...four or five,,, days, you should be able to reach Chang'an.

Gotta get ready in advance.

Find Tang Gui.

"I remember that years ago, our family bought two adjacent houses in Yongxingfang..."

Looking at Tang Gui, Tang Feng asked.

"Yes, my lord. I have visited those two houses. They are both excellent mansions. They are well preserved inside and out, and they are fully equipped. You only need to clean them briefly before you can move in."

Tang Gui responded.

Tang Feng nodded slightly.

"Today, you will choose some craftsmen and servants to open up the two houses, and carry out simple repairs and cleaning inside and out."

Tang Feng ordered.

"Grandpa, but for the princess and the second son"

Tang Gui asked casually.

"That's right, their mother and son are going back to Beijing. There must always be a suitable place to stay. It just so happens that Yongxingfang is not far from Daming Palace and our Duke's Mansion."

As for...Tang Gui, there is naturally nothing to hide.

"The little one: go to Zhang Luo now, and make sure that the preparations are made before the princess and the second son return to the capital."

Tang Gui said.

Tang Feng smiled and nodded.

Regarding...Tang Gui's ability, he naturally would not doubt it.

After Tang Gui left, Tang Feng casually picked up the secret letter from Dengzhou on the table.

The letter was written by Guo Xiao, and it was very long, detailing the current situation of the Dengzhou shipyard.

The first batch of six sailing ships will be launched soon.

Next, is the recruitment of crew members.

This matter still depends on Mu Guiying and Qi Jiguang.

Entering the Martial God chat group, he was the first to contact Mu Guiying 3.

5. As a couple that spans time and space, there is nothing that cannot be said.

Maybe Song Dynasty is far inferior to Ming Dynasty in terms of shipbuilding technology, but the maritime trade of Song Dynasty is far superior to that of Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there are many seafarers with rich sailing experience in China.

Now that Mu Guiying controls the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is no problem to get some crew members.

After Tang Feng explained the situation here, Mu Guiying agreed without even thinking about it.

After that, the two chatted privately for a while before Tang Feng ended his chat with Mu Guiying.

The cross-time and space trade with Qi Jiguang is no longer once or twice, everyone has formed a tacit understanding, from various materials to various personnel, all kinds of transactions are very skilled, and there is no need to say too much.

Chapter 822: Changle is back

If the money is thrown down, it will be easy to say and handle anything.

Perhaps in the past, many times, Qi Jiguang still had many thoughts in his heart, so when he acted, he hesitated everywhere.

But now, this... famous anti-Japanese general has become a qualified second-hand dealer.

Of course, most of the time, it's not him who comes out personally, but the group of people under him who help deal with everything.

In order to ensure the safety of the decision and not reveal the secrets, the people who dealt with the secret transactions were actually purchased by Qi Jiguang from various time and space through the Martial God chat group.

Because they come from the Valkyrie chat group, they have absolute loyalty, and there is no need to worry about these people being betrayed.

And there is no need to say much about these people's personal abilities.

Now, Qi Jiguang's business network in Daming has spread out, and because he has money on hand and his thinking is active, gradually, he also has relatively close contacts with several big dignitaries in the capital.

In the late Ming Dynasty, literature was emphasized, and the military was governed by 22 literature, and the status of generals was much lower.

Qi Jiguang, as a general, wants to develop better in Daming, he naturally needs to rely on a powerful civil official leader in the court, and the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the best choice.

All kinds of filial piety, plus a certificate of honor, and he himself is a person with ability and merit. As long as such a person is willing to bow his head and submit to him, which chief assistant would not like it.

Judging from the current situation, Qi Jiguang is much better than the same period in history.

Today's Qi family army is not only strong and strong, but also has received great support from the capital, and the firearms are the best in Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese pirates in the south were gradually wiped out.

And this achievement not only belongs to Qi Jiguang, but also to the chief assistant who supported him. It is precisely because of this that the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty will strongly support Qi Jiguang, and the support is getting stronger and stronger. bigger.

Next, as long as Qi Jiguang doesn't kill himself, then his future will be much better than in history.

At the very least, there will be no tragedies like those in history.

The...transactions about craftsmen, etc. are not visible, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, Tang Feng is the only person in the entire chat group who conducts such transactions with Qi Jiguang.

in spite of....

Whether it is Xiang Yu, or Ran Min, or Mu Guiying and others, there is no shortage of craftsmen in their own time and space.

Since there is no shortage of artisans, there is no need to waste resources on this.

Most of the transactions in the chat group use food as the hard currency, except for the Great Song Dynasty, other time and space are all short of food.

The limited amount of food is definitely impossible to waste.

Chatting with Qi Jiguang for a while through the chat group, after the two sides have negotiated everything, the next step is to wait for Qi Jiguang's operation.

Qi Jiguang may have no experience and no time to find crew members, but the people under him are all proficient in this field.

After finalizing the deal, Tang Feng withdrew.

On the third day of the court meeting, news finally came from the palace.

According to the decree of the king of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji was pardoned for his crimes, but he was punished with thirty sticks.

For the crime committed by Hou Junji, this punishment is really not heavy.

But Tang Feng knew that Hou Junji had become paranoid, Tang Wang pardoned him, but he would still hold grudges, and would not consider other people's kindness towards him.

People are like this, but when the seeds of hatred are planted, they will take root and sprout over time, and finally grow into towering trees.

According to the news from the palace, Hou Junji was carried out of Daming Palace and sent back to the mansion after he was rode thirty.

This big incident caused by Hou Junji ended hastily like this.

Everyone thought that it was really over, but only Tang Feng knew that this matter was far from over, and it was even just the beginning.

Next, Hou Junji is afraid that he will have evil thoughts, and then embark on the road of no return.

At the same time, Prince Li Chengqian, who came back from Mobei, was still left alone by Tang Wang, staying in the East Palace all day, depressed.
