Chapter 101 Processing money
If more jobs were available, the economy could be mobilized, and the economy of Datang would not be a stagnant pool.
Although the Tang Dynasty supported trade, there were too few people who could do business, and only a few were after all.
People can stimulate domestic demand when they have money.
When he returned to his own home, Li Zheng counted how much money he earned today.
This is the day when you count money to get cramps in your hands...
Li Zheng sighed that this day is too decadent, too decadent.
Sun Simiao wrote a memorial. After observing these days, the method of scraping is indeed easy to use.
Remove the heat and you will soon see the effect.
Many local methods are quite useful.
It is not recorded in the medical scriptures.
In such a scorching heat, if people with heatstroke do not remove the heat in time, it is easy to die.
Especially for some people who are old or are already very weak.
Write down the various benefits of scraping in the memorial.
After writing down his signature, Sun Simiao handed it to a villager and said, "Please send it to the Hongwenguan in Chang'an. It's said that someone will accept it if I wrote it."
"I understand." The villagers went to do business immediately.
At dinner, Li Tai ate the dishes very rudely, and there was also a calm Sun Simiao.
Li Daxiong and Sun Simiao were also able to chat, and Li Tai was also able to chat.
After the meal, Li Daxiong said to Li Zheng who was washing dishes: "Doctor Sun wants to accept you as his disciple, just be his disciple."
Li Zheng washed the dishes one by one and said, "It's okay for me to make money with some cleverness. I can learn medicine seriously. I don't have this talent for your son."
Hearing this, Li Daxiong was dissatisfied, "You can cure diseases, but it depends on your talent."
Li Daxiong whispered: "That's Doctor Sun, who is a disciple of Doctor Sun. It's easy to find a wife when you go out."
"Not good." Li Zheng said hesitantly.
Li Daxiong was anxious and continued to instruct: "Are you a melon? Even if you can't learn the medical skills of Sun's divine doctor, the title of becoming someone else's disciple will be very famous."
Li Zheng whispered to Li Daxiong: "I know why, Doctor Sun has lived for most of his life and has not been accompanied by his wife?"
"Huh?" Realizing this, Li Daxiong came to his senses and said, "Why?"
Li Zheng glanced at Sun Simiao, who was meditating in the yard, and whispered: "Because Doctor Sun is a Taoist priest, and he is not close to women."
Li Daxiong suddenly came to his senses, "Ao..."
Li Zheng said again: "Let's think about it. If I become Sun Simiao's disciple in the future, will I not be able to find a wife for most of my life? What should I do?"
Li Daxiong solemnly touched the stubble on his chin.
"Would you like me to be like Doctor Sun?"
Li Daxiong immediately shook his head, "That won't work, our family is still pointing at you to pass on the family line."
"It's not so good. Look at your son, am I wise?"
Li Daxiong sat down and decided, "Then he can't let you be his disciple."
Li Zheng nodded with relief, "So, you should go to bed early after dinner, and you will have to go to the fields tomorrow morning."
Li Daxiong nodded, "Yeah, go to sleep."
At the court meeting on the second day, the Tai Chi Hall was still like a steamer.
Listening to the court officials' reports, Li Shimin was overwhelmed.
Recently, many workers from workshops in Chang'an have left and went to Li Zheng to work.
There were several workshops where no one worked.
Prices are about to rise.
Li Shimin was worried, you said, "Li Zheng, you can draw a clear line."
How good it is to count money in Jingyang to make a living.
I have to do something, which has caused people in Chang'an to live in poverty now.
Once again, I felt so tired of being an emperor.
I don’t want to do it anymore, I want to abdicate and let Li Zheng be the emperor.
Let him experience the troubles of being an emperor.
After hearing the censor's report, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling: "How many workshops in Chang'an have been shut down now."
Fang Xuanling stood out of the court and said, "There are more than 30, including those who make pottery, those who make dyed cloth, and some who do coolies and carpenters."
Du Ruhui also said: "Now the prices of Chang'an have begun to rise, and a piece of cloth has risen to twenty cents."
People's livelihood issues have to be taken care of.
Li Shimin took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch and wiped his sweat and said, "What are the countermeasures do you have?"
Fang Xuanling said: "The shutdown of many workshops in Chang'an is because of the departure of workers, which is related to the reduction of wages."
Having said that, it was because the court issued an order to reduce the labor of the coolies and avoid the situation of death from the heat again.
Li Shimin felt that one person had two big heads. It would be reasonable to say that if he did less work, his wages would be less.
You can't force yourself to press your head and let the workshop owners pay.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty still needs those laborers to return to Chang'an for the sake of this plan."
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Why are you all going to Jingyang?"
Fang Xuanling replied: "It is said that Jingyang gives many benefits, the wages are high and there is no need to be too tired to work."
Li Shimin looked at Cen Wenben in the court class and asked, "Cen Wen, you have been to Jingyang, tell me what the situation is in Jingyang now."
Cen Wenben bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Li was building a large-scale construction in Jingyang to build a house, and the house was also for the villagers to live in."
Cen Wenben was just halfway through his words, and Li Shimin wiped his sweat and signaled to continue.
"Jingyang works four hours a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, avoiding the hottest hours in a day. Not only does the wages be high, but people can get their usual money in a month, but they also drink iced mung bean soup that doesn't cost money."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers talked again.
The treatment is really good. It costs a month and only takes four hours a day. The mung bean soup that costs money is even more chilled.
The conditions are so good. How rich is Li Zheng?
"Didn't it mean that Li Zheng is very poor?"
"Yes, didn't it mean that Li Zheng has always been grateful to Chang'an for helping the poor?"
"I don't want to be an official anymore with such good conditions."
"The wages of those workers in Jingyang are almost more than our salary."
...
Li Shimin signaled the court to keep quiet and asked Xiang Cen Wenben, "Why do you think so many people left Chang'an and went to Jingyang."
Cen Wenben organized the language for a while before speaking: "Wage, many workers think that wages are unfair."
"What's unfair about how much work you do and how much you earn."
I don't know which censor interrupted.
Everyone whispered again.
Cen Wenben bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think those workshop owners should not deduct wages. If the weather is hot today, they should give the laborers processing money."
The court talked again.
