I’m The King Chapter 1277: : Carrying forward the past and opening up the future (one hundred and sixty-seven) the source of the disaster

Chudu, Yingcheng.

Huang Xie finally finished his busy day. He straightened up from the mountains of documents, stretched his waist, and let out a long breath. He could finally take a rest. He returned to the mansion and took a shower. Take a warm bath, and then let the maid's soft hands massage the sore bones all over the body, so that you can have a good night's sleep and get enough energy to devote yourself to tomorrow's work.

The state of Chu is too big, and there are too many things to do. Even though the memorials were screened by the Zhongshuling, and only some important ones were picked up and sent to him, he still left himself with endless work.

Standing up from the big case, tidying up some crumpled clothes, Huang Xie was about to leave the office and go back to the mansion. Today, except for the convenience of eating, he almost never left this @猪@猪@岛@小说ww.zzhdo.om For major cases, there are always endless memorials to approve and officials to meet.

But although he was tired, Huang Xie was never tired. Once he really had nothing to do, he doubted that he would not be able to hold on.

"My lord, Commander Zhao is asking to see you." Before he stepped out of the threshold, a subordinate official rushed over and bowed.

"Shucheng? Why is he here at this time?" Huang Xie frowned, it was almost three o'clock, why did Zhao Shucheng, the commander of the ghost shadow, come to see him in such a hurry, didn't he go to Jiangnan what? Could it be that something big happened again?

My heart tightened, and the fatigue that had just surfaced immediately flew away, "Please."

When Zhao Shucheng stepped into Huang Xie's official room, Huang Xie was already sitting behind the official case. Seeing him coming in, he stood up straight, "Shu Cheng, did you just come back from Jiangnan? Why don't you rest? Why do you have to come and tell me today?"

Zhao Shucheng bowed to Huang Xie and saluted: "Shoufu, Shucheng is a warrior. He is used to traveling long distances, so he is not tired at all. He just heard about it after he came back. He felt something was wrong, so he hurried I came to see Shoufu, so it won't delay Shoufu's rest, right?"

Huang Xie laughed and said, "You don't feel tired after traveling all the way from the south of the Yangtze River. I'm sitting in the official hall all day. How can someone who walks a few steps dare to cry tired? Is the trip to the south of the Yangtze River going well?"

"It's okay, some clues have been found in the Jiangnan riot case." Zhao Shucheng said.

"Oh, so you have figured out the ins and outs of this riot?" Huang Xie immediately beamed with joy. Jiangnan is the wealth center of Great Chu, but for more than a year. However, many riots broke out, which gave him a headache.

Speaking of this, Zhao Shucheng frowned deeply: "Although there are some eyebrows, it is still far from the truth, but the subordinates can be sure that there must be shadows of Han people here. They are good at it."

"The weavers rebelled, why did they get on line with the Han people again? There has never been any information on this before!" Huang Xie was taken aback, but he got connected with the Han people for everything. All made him very vigilant.

"Shoufu, the weavers' riots have happened three times this year, although they happened in different counties in the south of the Yangtze River. But the organization is getting stricter and more destructive each time. From the latest riots , the subordinates smelled some familiar scents. That's why I rushed there in person, but unfortunately, the trap I set up fell short at the last moment. The clues are completely interrupted. I was still hesitating my judgment, but this time, I can be sure that there must be our colleagues in the riot, otherwise no one will be aware of my actions."

"Jiangnan is an important place for our big Chu's financial and taxation. This one after another is really too much for the court. The tax money shipped from Jiangnan today is one-fifth less than the same period last year. You still have to spend more time on it. Some of these are better, find out the source as soon as possible, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go." Huang Xie said murderously.

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage, "My lord, the Han people are playing tricks here, I am confident that I will find them and kill them cleanly, but when it comes to the source, I have no way." Broken."

"Why?" Huang Xie asked strangely, "Aren't these Han spies the source?"

"No." Zhao Shucheng shook his head, "If we want to talk about the source, it's our own people. Originally, the subordinates didn't quite understand what's going on here, so this time I went down to talk with a county magistrate overnight. I have seen people before and talked with him this night, so I suddenly realized."

"Tell me." Huang Xie was very interested.

"The source is our technological leap forward in weaving and reeling." Zhao Shucheng looked at Huang Xie and said.

"What is this talking about? Isn't technological progress a good thing? The reason why Han's national power continues to develop by leaps and bounds is because of the development of technologies that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. How can the country be rich and strong in Han? Will it become the source of disasters when we arrive in our country?" Huang Xie asked rhetorically.

Zhao Shucheng is slightly regretful. You must know that the family of Shoufu controls the leader in the domestic silk weaving industry, and the family of his in-laws, the doctor Fan Zhuo, controls the pricing power of domestic silk weaving. The words have been said here, but they cannot be taken back.

"Shoufu, the reason why the Han Dynasty is like this is because theirs developed step by step, while our technological progress in silk reeling and weaving came from the Han Dynasty. Before that, we I didn’t make any preparations. The rapid development of these two technologies has indeed reduced the cost of products, and the price drop has brought about a large increase in exports. But at the same time, our weavers and silk workers are A lot of unemployment. In various places in the south of the Yangtze River, the workshops originally required a lot of manpower, but now, a single machine can do the work that a dozen people used to do. What about these people who have lost their source of income? How do they live and what do they use to support them? Family? We are not like the Han Dynasty. There are a large number of workshops that can absorb these laborers who have lost their jobs. After a long time, and some people instigate it in the middle, it will be difficult to avoid accidents. These few times this year, the scale has become larger and larger each time. The sexuality is getting stronger and stronger, and the subordinates are worried that if this continues, they will really lose control!"

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's appearance, Huang Xie knew what was going on. The leap in technology brought wealth, but it also brought disaster.

"The Han people had no good intentions at the beginning. They must have known the consequences of doing so. The subordinates felt that this was their deliberate behavior." Zhao Shucheng said a little angrily.

Huang Xie waved his hand, "Don't think of the worst in everything. It's because we didn't think carefully, didn't think about the possible consequences, and didn't do a good job in the back row. I will find a way to solve this matter. "

Of course, Huang Xie cannot admit what Zhao Shucheng said. If Zhao Shucheng were to attribute this incident to the deliberate actions of the Han people, once it goes to court, he is afraid that his in-laws, Fan Zhuo, will suffer, and he will follow suit. More importantly, the advancement of looms and silk reeling technology has indeed brought about an increase in wealth. Next, I only need to solve the problem of the way out for the unemployed workers, and this matter will be considered a satisfactory solution.

"Yes." Zhao Shucheng nodded, and no longer entangled in this topic. This matter is related to Shoufu, just click on it. Talking too much will not help the matter, but will also make Shoufu think about himself. "Shoufu, I came here today not for this matter, but because I heard that Shoufu agreed to introduce Han's bridge repair technology and let Han merchants contract to build bridges in our country?"

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing, but there is one more thing you haven't heard about. We spent one million taels of silver to buy a complete set of technology for the Han Chinese reinforced concrete bridge, and another two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy This is a good deal." Huang Xie laughed.

"I think there must be a conspiracy of the Han people here." Zhao Shucheng said.

"Shucheng, I think you are about to suffer from occupational diseases. You don't know much about it. How can you conclude that there is a conspiracy? After building a few bridges in China, our people will have learned enough, and they can build them by themselves in the future." Huang Xie said with a smile.

"Shoufu, I'm worried that when the Han engineering team comes in, they can walk through the mountains, rivers and valleys of our country in a big way. We don't have any secrets from them." Zhao Shucheng said a little discouraged.

Huang Xie laughed, "Shucheng, even if there is no Han Chinese engineering team coming in, is it difficult for them to get our detailed geographical situation? To put it bluntly, a businessman took money and walked away If we go to that county, I'm afraid we can buy our county's map and chronicle. I discussed it carefully with the Taiwei. I was planning to start construction around Ying City first, but I changed my mind after you came back today and said so.”

"Are you going to?"

"I plan to put the first bridge and even the subsequent bridges in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't there a lot of silk weavers in the south of the Yangtze River who have no source of income, so we will go to build bridges and pave roads, which will require a lot of money. Human hands can always digest part of it, right?"

"Is it no longer conscripts?" Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise ~IndoMTL.com~ No conscripts anymore. It's not about our court taking money. "Huang Xie laughed.

"Why didn't the imperial court take money to build bridges and pave roads?" Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise.

"According to the plan proposed by this businessman, the construction will be funded by the private sector. After the construction, card fees will be set up to recover the cost and make money. There was rust and mildew in the cellar, and they just let them take it out for use. This businessman wanted to pay for the bridge repairs himself, but Yao Shangshu of the household department did some calculations and turned him down. How can such a lucrative thing be possible? It’s cheap for the Han people, they just fix it, we pay the wages, and get out after it’s done.” Huang Xie laughed.

"This, isn't this buying road money?" Zhao Shucheng was a little dumbfounded.

"Who benefits, who pays!" Huang Xie said disapprovingly: "This Han businessman is right, I didn't make you have to cross this bridge, you can take a ferry, or swim across Well, this bridge was built with my private investment, so it is natural to charge you a little toll, just like we collect city money at the gate of the city."
