I am engaged in construction in Datang

Seeing this, Yuwen Shiji immediately said, "Remember, you must turn over a new leaf, save money, and strive to regain your freedom one day!"

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward and dragged Liang Qucong and others towards the door.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! We have money!" several people shouted.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yuwen Shiji was puzzled. "Tuoyuhun belongs to your Majesty, so Tuyuhun's money is naturally your Majesty's money."

"You guys have such evil ambitions that you actually want to take His Majesty's money?"

“……”Everyone was silent. It’s worthy of you, Yuwen Shiji.

The court session ended hastily, and Yuwen Shiji became the center of attention and was highly praised verbally by Li Shimin.

Countless people felt absurd.

This court is very different from the past, and His Majesty has also changed.

Those with a keen sense of smell have already begun to plan the future development direction of their family.

Now there have been tremendous changes both inside and outside the court, and they are the kind that cannot be stopped. After all, the people want to live a good life, and those who go against the people are destined to have no good end.

The Lu family of Fanyang is the head of the family and the main hall.

The three elders sat at the top.

"What do you think about Nuzhuang?" The clan leader looked calm as he tasted the tea, which was top-grade fine tea.

Luda sat to the left of the clan leader, closing his eyes and resting.

On the table were the latest snacks from Nuzhuang, and the tea was the finest product roasted by Nuzhuang, and the topic of discussion was the relationship between the Lu family and Nuzhuang.

The hall was silent. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. No one wanted to be the first to speak up.

Mr. Lupin sat at the very end. He was the least experienced person present, but he made a lot of money from the brewery, so he was looked up to by the people in the clan.

But no matter how much you earn, it’s not as much as those on the list.

Several of those with more seniority glanced at Lupin and signaled him to take the lead.

Helpless, Lupin stood up and bowed.

"Ping Yi greets the three clan elders, uncles, and brothers."

As soon as these words fell, there were a few sneers from the dark. They looked down on Lupin Yi, who came from a slave family.

Luda opened his closed eyes, gleaming with brilliance: "Who is laughing? Get out of here!"

Everyone glanced at the clan leader, who was still sipping his tea without saying a word.

So, the three people in the lower corner bowed, stood up, and left in shame.

When the hall was completely quiet, Lu Pingyi looked at Lu Da with gratitude and spoke again: "As everyone knows, Pingyi's brewery is in cooperation with Nuzhuang. Now it is limited by raw materials and the government, and the average monthly profit is only ten thousand guan."

Ten thousand strings of cash is already a considerable sum, and the annual net profit must be hundreds of thousands, which accounts for a considerable proportion of the entire family's business.

But this is only the profit today, there will definitely be more in the future.

"I have discussed this with the steward Feng of the Nvzhuang before. In the next ten years, the Nvzhuang will definitely introduce a faster and more convenient farming method. One person can farm to feed at least fifty people!"

Lu Pingyi paused. He was just making a start, so there was no need to say too much: "The raw material problem will be solved by then, and the brewery's average monthly profit may exceed 100,000 guan."

hiss--

Some people were secretly shocked, while others were dismissive.

"Head, I heard that the women's village has improved the papermaking and printing techniques, and introduced the pinyin system. The children of the women's village go to the village every weekend to teach for free. In the future, I'm afraid that everyone in the Tang Dynasty will be able to read and write!"

"Tsk - what kind of waves can a bunch of kids make?" A man in a scholar's robe at the front of the hall sneered.

He wanted to pull others to laugh at Lupin's proposal, but the whole hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

The clan leader put down the teacup, glanced at the man, and said to the servant behind him: "Take him out."

The man in the scholar's robe turned pale instantly.

From now on, he will no longer have a place in the master's family meetings.

After the hall calmed down again, everyone even breathed carefully.

"Please sit down." The clan leader glanced at Lu Pingyi, then glanced at the rest of the people in the hall, and slowly said: "You can give suggestions like Pingyi to improve the relationship with the female village, or you can make plans to suppress the development of the female village."

As he spoke, the clan leader's tone became stern: "But there is only one thing you should never do, and that is to look down on others!"

Everyone was shocked and bowed together, "We will follow the instructions of our clan leader."

This family meeting lasted a whole day.

It's not just the Lu family, the Five Surnames and Seven Families, as well as those aristocratic families, are all like this.

Orders came out from the master's house one after another, and there was a sense of impending storm.

Everyone has seen the changes in recent days.

Many powerful new talents have emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. They have never heard of the factory directors of several factories that Nuzhuang has cooperated with before.

There are also some powerful villages and towns that directly outsourced the land, and then started to set up factories and night schools for the entire village.

What scares everyone the most is that cultural knowledge is no longer owned by the clan.

The way that Nuzhuang broke the cultural blockade was too special. It did not teach scholars but taught the common people, making it difficult to stop it.

Generally speaking, it takes several years to teach a person to read, but because of the different pinyin in Nüzhuang, it only takes a few days.

The people don't care how prestigious your family is among the literati; they only care who treats them well.

No matter how much you say, it’s useless!

At this moment, Chang'an City was brightly lit, and countless people stood on the high platform looking up at the starry sky.

Female village.

There was a bonfire glowing on the ground, and the tenants were singing and dancing to welcome Xiaosong and his companions.

Li Yin lay on the roof with her hands behind her head.

Stars dotted the sky, and she seemed to see the prosperity of the future through the long river of time.

"Five surnames and seven families? Haha..."

"Five Surnames and Seven Families? Ha!" Li Shimin stood at the highest point of the Xuanzheng Hall, facing the wind.

"Wang De, do you know that history books are written by scholars, not ordinary people? They only write about nobles seeking to marry women from the five surnames, but they don't write about the difficulty of ordinary people finding two taels of salt."

Li Shimin thought of the silence in the court today and laughed out loud: "It's great!"

Wang De stood behind Li Shimin. When the emperor was happy, he was happy too.

"Your Majesty, the people will have a good life from now on!"

"Yes." Li Shimin sighed: "Finally, a bright and prosperous road has appeared before my eyes."

He would not underestimate the influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Families in the literary circle, but he would not overestimate their status in the hearts of the people.

To govern a country, one needs scholars, so the government is always controlled by the sons of clans. To lead troops, one has to be literate, so generals are also from clans or are disciples of clans.

But the situation is different now!

"Wang De, I have a sworn sister who can pacify the world." Li Shimin's eyes moistened: "I always feel that I owe my sworn sister."

"But there are all kinds of good things in the manor. What haven't you seen, sister? I can't give them to you in the name of the emperor..."

As Li Shimin was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Got it!"

"Wang De, what do you think about me finding some handsome young men to send to my sister?"

Wang De: "..."

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Master Li what he wants?"

Have you forgotten that you gave Fang Xuanling two beautiful girls, which almost caused the couple to separate?
