Chapter 61 The Suzhou-Zhejiang Caoyun Strike Incident

After lunch, the four auxiliary ministers talked and laughed and walked along Longzong Road, and continued the topic of court gossip in their mouths, but His Majesty the Emperor was put aside, His Majesty the Emperor is an emperor who knows how to get stitches and needles, and can chat with all kinds of people, but today's topic, she really can't interject. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, the topic was introduced to His Majesty the Emperor, and the four ministers mainly discussed the anecdotes of His Majesty the Emperor and the little palace maid in the palace, all of which were unwarranted things, without factual basis, and they could be exposed as soon as they were exposed, but they couldn't hold back the likes of the four auxiliary ministers, and the discussion was like a river, and they didn't know what the scholars and Su Shangshu, who were the abbots, were thinking, anyway, His Majesty the Emperor didn't understand the world of the four old thieves.

Li Yuanhao looked at the white clouds in the sky, and kept warning herself not to burst into foul language, she couldn't help but sigh again in her heart: "Fuck your mother's court humerus!"

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the military plane.

Sukhsha has a habit of taking a nap, so he sleeps in the side room.

Sobilon opened a miscellaneous book with unrefined bindings and read it with relish.

Wei Haokun boiled a cup of fragrant tea, lit incense, and closed his eyes in the smoke.

Wu Changhyuk saw the twelve big characters left by Li Yuanhao, "Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king, and worry about the king", laughed, and had no meaning of being ashamed and repentant, so he crumpled the paper into a ball casually, threw it into the paper basket next to him under Li Yuanhao's gaze, spread out the chess game, took out two boxes of black and white chess pieces, reviewed it by himself, and played Go.

Playing chess yesterday, he entered a dead game and failed to crack it, and continued today, Wu Changhe frowned, rubbed the black and white in his hand, and hesitated.

Yu Qing brewed a cup of honey water and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor, Li Yuanhao reached out to hold the snow-white porcelain cup, glanced at the chess game, handed the honey water to Yu Qing, walked straight to the chessboard, pinched a black chess piece, fell into the middle lane, and there was a crisp sound, and the chess pieces took root.

"Your Majesty, you are playing chess a little casually......" Wu Changhe finished speaking, staring at the chessboard and being speechless for a long time.

Li Yuanhao took the honey water from the new, it was slightly hot, not cold, raised his head and drank it, and couldn't help admiring in his heart: "Good wine, good wine." "In ancient times, there was warm wine to kill Huaxiong, and now there is His Majesty the Emperor to warm wine to play Go.

Yu Qing reminded: "Your Majesty, this is honey water, not wine. His Majesty the Emperor glared at the little eunuch, it was really in the way.

In the middle of the night, Wu Changhe disrupted the chessboard and pinched the chess pieces and returned them to the box: "Your Majesty has Qiankun in his hands, and if he plays chess like a god, Weichen admires it." ”

Li Yuanhao lowered his head to review the recital, but he didn't raise his head, but he was very proud in his heart - I know how powerful I am, hahaha.

It was another busy afternoon, Li Yuanhao was dizzy, his eyes were straight, he knocked on his stiff shoulders, and found that the four auxiliary ministers were sitting together, with a letter in front of them, and the expression on his face was solemn and serious.

Li Yuanhao walked forward: "Four pavilion elders, what's the difficulty?"

Suo Bilong pointed to the chapter in front of him: "Your Majesty, this is a joint letter from the governor of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, half of the Cao Yun of my Great Wei State is paralyzed, and the grain and grass of Zhejiang and Jiangsu are hoarded and stranded, and they cannot be transported. ”

Cao Yun is the lifeblood of a country, court consumption, hundreds of officials, military salary payment and people's food adjustment all depend on this, in addition to the vast and sparsely populated nomadic Xiongnu do not pay attention, the Northern Wei Dynasty, Southern Liang and Western Chu are regarded as the focus of the country, and the two Zhejiang and Jiangsu are the coastal granaries of the Great Wei, the abundant grain is the main supply of the Zhennan Army, tea and silk are the focus of the Great Wei's foreign trade, if the Cao Yun of the two Zhejiang and Jiangsu is broken, the Great Wei State is tantamount to losing the lifeline, affecting the fundamental.

"How so?" asked Li Yuanhao.

Su Kesha often sighed: "This matter is a long story, if it is the root of it, the crux is the crossing of clothes to the south and the migration of chariots and horses to the north. ”

In the early days of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the situation was undecided, the Southern Liang was divided, and the Sage Academy moved south, driving the wealthy families of the Central Plains to cross the Yangtze River and settle in the south of the Yangtze River. In particular, the Confucian family is the main leader of the Yiguan Nandu, which is a huge scale and far-reaching influence, among which the surname Lin, the surname Huang, the surname Chen, the surname Zheng, the surname Zhan, the surname Qiu, the surname He, the surname Hu, the eight surnames, the Central Plains family, after entering Fujian, first settled in northern Fujian and Jin'an, and then gradually spread to the coast of central Fujian and southern Fujian, and the history books are called "the southern crossing of clothes, and the eight surnames enter Fujian".

A large number of craftsmen from Taoism and Mojia crossed the Great Wall and merged into the Xiongnu, bringing grain and books from the Central Plains to the Xiongnu, as well as advanced tools from the Central Plains, as evidenced by the Shengjing City lying in the depths of the grassland.

"Originally, the lifeblood of the Central Plains was in the hands of the wealthy families, and the craftsmen of the ships were in the hands of the craftsmen. Wei Haokun continued to explain: "At that time, Da Wei was like a paralyzed waste in bed, chaotic, and various forces were staggered and kneaded together. In order to put the Great Wei on the right track as soon as possible, the imperial court could only mobilize some people to solve the urgent need. ”

"These people are businessmen. Su Kesha continued: "The people of the Central Plains are proud of their reading and literacy, and they look down on merchants and businessmen very much, thinking that businessmen are lowly people who chase silver and white, especially under the control of wealthy scholars, they hope that their children will enter the court as officials, gain fame, and try their best to suppress merchants. But after crossing to the south, without that layer of restraint, Shangjia began to show his strength. With the consent of the Empress Dowager, the Cao Yun and salt and iron operations of the Great Wei began to be gradually liberalized, and some merchants saw the opportunity and expanded vigorously, gradually becoming the heroes of the rich and the first. Although it was known from the beginning that there were pros and cons to using Shangjia, it was a last resort given the situation at the time. ”

Li Yuanhao nodded, everything depends on the benefits and disadvantages of everything.

Wu Changhe stood up and looked out the window: "I never expected that the shortcomings would be revealed immediately after the death of the Lantai Domain. In the past, there was the suppression of the Taiwan Domain, and the merchants of Zhejiang and Jiangsu knew to be a man with their tails between their legs, but now the Zhennan Army is in ruins, Han Xianba takes over as the commander, and the internal affairs are busy, and they have no time to take care of others. ”

One ring is one ring, cause and effect are in between, the Taiwan State Domain has bad intentions, meaning that he is plotting the world, but with him in Dajiang Town, it is the dragon you want to nest, and the tiger you want to lie on your stomach.

"In the early days of the founding of the Great Wei State, it relied too much on merchants to transport goods and restore people's livelihood, and gave a lot of support, not only in policy, but also in terms of actual money. Now they are seeing the opportunity to give the court a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the means are extremely accurate. Wei Haokun clenched his fat hands, and there was a lot of gloom in his eyes.

Li Yuanhao read the chapter again, which wrote the beginning and end of the Caoyun strike, starting from the court officials in Haizhou, Jiangsu Province beating the Shangjia crew, and later evolved into the crew and the businessmen against the government, the matter became more and more intense, at the beginning the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Jiangsu were ready to suppress the matter, and did not hesitate to use local officers and soldiers to suppress it bloodily, but the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Jiangsu did not expect the situation to become more and more serious, and finally the paper could not contain the fire, could not be controlled, and only then did he write a letter to ask the court to decide.

Some inevitable major events will always be ignited by an accidental small event, and then spread into a fire that can ignite the prairie and finally get out of control.

Li Yuanhao read the recital three times, pondered, and penetrated the essence through the surface: "The Caoyun incident in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a typical purposeful event instigated by someone behind the scenes, and the target is directly aimed at Tai'an City. ”

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor could have such an opinion, the four auxiliary ministers nodded collectively, although His Majesty is young, but his vision is extremely far-sighted and wide-sighted.
