Chapter 15, Yang Mou
After listening to Su Jun's instructions, Lu Chuan still added uneasily: "It's just some useless guys, even if it is depreciated, it must be sold." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Su Jun was surprised when he heard this, could it be that he saw that the small action just now was not successful, so he put his hand in front of Lu Chuan's eyes and shook it left and right, seeing that Lu Chuan did not react, he said, "You are really strange, when will you see that I don't plan to sell your dowry." ”
Lu Chuan looked indifferent, "I'm just giving one more order." The sale of the dowry is said to be big and small. I'm afraid you'll get in the way, and I won't sell it. ”
At this time, Xing Yu couldn't help but interject, "Since Madam has made up her mind to sell, I will definitely do a good job." It's just that... This matter will inevitably be discovered in the future, and when the lord or princess asks, what explanation should be given to the upper room?"
Lu Chuan pondered carefully, Xing Yu said that there was indeed some truth, but he only pondered for a moment, and said firmly: "You just do yours." Since I decided to sell it, I'm not afraid of him asking!"
Xing Yu saw her resolute face, so he bowed his hand and went out, he was ready to contact the online buyers first during the day, as for those guys, I am afraid that they will have to wait until night to make a move. Although it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of stealing chickens and touching dogs, as long as the son orders it, Xing Yu will not do anything inappropriate.
The dowry prepared by Uncle Lu Chuan can be said to be readily available. Otherwise, it will not be a mighty dozens of miles in a row, so big that the guys in the inner room need to use the Qiangong bed, the front table, the red kitchen, the bed kitchen, the hanger, the spring stool, the toilet, the descendant bucket, the dresser...... It is as small as a painting table, a circle chair, a moire beam bucket, a daily gold and silver tea set, a brocade quilt, a cloth silk and satin, and a headdress with pearls, gold hairpins and jade bracelets...... Therefore, regarding the matter of sending Lu Chuan to marry, Lu Jian handled it extremely decently.
But no matter how decent they are, these guys are just a bunch of 'entangled' things. In the previous life, she let the dowry stay in King Pei's mansion and didn't take care of it, but after Xiangxian became in chaos, she asked Wang Xiyan to pick up a bargain and sell all her dowry.
Although it is not a particularly valuable thing, it is expensive in a large number, especially her box of gold, silver, jewelry, and jadeite jewelry, which is rich in variety and novel in style. Why can't you sell it for 10,000 taels of silver? That's 10,000 taels of silver!
Let this kind of cheap thing be given to Wang Xiyan, there is no such reason in the world.
In addition, there is another reason why she did this, which has to start from the previous life, not long after she and Su Kang got married, a major event happened in the Su family.
Because Peiguo Xiangxian is not far from Chang'an, after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Zhang took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. The first batch of the knife was the 'state' in the parallel system of these counties.
This includes Peiguo.
Empress Dowager Zhang's first move was when the new emperor first ascended the throne, Yuan Zhen opened the year, that is, before Lu Chuan got married, Empress Dowager Zhang quietly used the edict of the previous emperor as the reason to quietly smelt copper and mint money, and successively reformed the regimes of fifteen 'countries' (kings with the same surname and kings with different surnames).
Another two months passed, and in March of the first year, Yuanzhen also gathered his military power.
It stands to reason that someone should have rebelled against this matter, in addition to the youngest son of Emperor Su Ren who became the emperor, there are five other sons, the second Liang Wang Su Kuang (the eldest one, the son of the Empress Dowager Zhang is dead), the third generation of the country Su Sheng, the fourth Pei country Su Ying, the sixth Huainan country Su Cheng, and the seventh Qi country Su Ao. The combined forces of the five kings can make up 100,000 soldiers and horses.
But that has to be able to be put together, at this point, Lu Chuan has to say that Empress Dowager Zhang's methods are really clever.
Previously, Empress Dowager Zhang knew about these 'countries' and privately raised a group of soldiers, so she did not directly collect the military power, but first withdrew the right to mint money......
Another holy decree was issued, and several kings were treated as county guards every year, and they enjoyed 2,000 stones!
At the same time, the people's taxes, rice and grain were directly handed over to the imperial court.
However, what is 2,000 stone enough for?
Of course, eating and drinking by yourself is not a problem, who doesn't have a private treasury or anything, but raising an army is different. 20,000 people are guarding 2,000 stones, and if they can't hold it for a month, they have to eat soil instead!
As for the common people, of course, they prefer to live under the hands of the imperial court, with taxes halved and fields in return. Where to find such a good thing? Naturally, the court told them to do what they did.
Therefore, in the end, Jiang is still old and spicy, and before the 20,000 soldiers could not wait for Empress Dowager Zhang to start working, the king with a different surname could not afford to raise it because the burden was too great, and they all took action to give up power!
Empress Dowager Zhang's vision is extremely broad, and she is good at winning the hearts of the people, and when she arrives at the remaining five kings, she manages the currency, collects military power, and reduces taxes and light conscription, a three-pronged approach, although it will not collapse in an instant, but it also caters to the will of the people.
By the time the five kings came back to their senses and the situation was very wrong, it was already too late! Because since the moment Empress Dowager Zhang took charge of the currency, Empress Dowager Zhang had already won more than half of the war......
Therefore, silver became the biggest weight to limit these princes and kings.
Lu Chuan recalled that the previous life was about May of the first year of Yuanzhen (now it is mid-March), and Empress Dowager Zhang expected that everyone would be dissatisfied, and she was afraid that people would gather to rebel, so she first transferred 10,000 elite soldiers from Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, and began to sweep in three directions all the way, and directly emptied the family of the five Wang Yinshi. During this period, anyone who does not listen to the command, whether it is the prince or the princess, will be killed.
In so many years of the Great Jing Dynasty, this is the first time that I have heard of the use of troops to raid the prince's mansion. However, it has also gained a lot, and the key is that it has also avoided many hidden disasters. Empress Dowager Zhang also took this opportunity to even feel how many doors there were in the backyard of the prince......
In other words, in this life, Lu Chuan estimated that after she and Su Jun left, the family of King Pei's Mansion would be destroyed or evacuated to the people by Empress Dowager Zhang's people. In short, her dowry can't be kept, rather than leaving it to Wang Xiyan to sell, it is better to leave it to herself to be entangled.
Of course, the deeper reason...... She also wants to see that without the soldiers and horses, and the power, most of the manor, fields, and mansions have also been lost, and without her help, Su Kang - what will he do to fight for the throne! From now on, wherever she Lu Chuan can dismantle the stage, there will not be a single pinhole left for him!
In fact, in Lu Chuan's view, the fact that Empress Dowager Zhang is in charge is not bad, compared with Su Kang, at least Empress Dowager Zhang really has the ability to govern the government. But in the previous life, Su Kang killed Lu Chuan, who was known as the ghost hand of the miracle doctor, and killed the famous General Sima on the back foot. He thought that he had become the emperor and that all the subjects and people of the world were his. Don't you know that the people's hearts have been lost, so Su Kang is in power in the world... It won't last long.
