Chapter 309
Ning Zhiyi left the plum garden, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't done anything serious.
He sat in the carriage and thought about it carefully, and found that making money at the moment was the right thing!
As for the whining of those officials...... If you don't listen, you don't exist!
Tomorrow, close the door to the East Palace!
He touched his sleeve pocket, and there was a piece of paper inside, on which was the weight loss plan written to him by Li Chenan.
This...... It's really a little hard!
But for the sake of the silver, for the sake of the future thousand years, Ning Zhiyi bit his teeth, and the fat on his face shook, this palace will definitely persevere!
The prince returned to the East Palace, and Li Chenan was still sitting in Huamei Xuan, sipping tea alone, and carefully combing through all the plans for the future.
What he said to the crown prince was not untargeted.
Now there is no incompatibility between him and the second prince Ning Zhixing.
Ning Zhixing wanted him to die, and he also wanted to take Ning Zhixing's life in Shuangjiao Mountain.
The third prince is still a little younger, at least for now, a marginal figure.
Therefore, he needs to support a person who will be beneficial to him in the long run, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is loyal and benevolent, is obviously the best candidate.
As for letting him lose weight, it doesn't really matter, what is tested is whether he has the perseverance to achieve great things.
As for the industries that the prince said about making money, this is by no means false.
Li Chenan hopes to join forces with this prince, and when the Shuangjiao Mountain incident is over, while cleaning up the filth above the temple, he wants to start the business he is good at.
Today, Ningguo's business can basically be said to be the withering of the whole industry.
From the information of the Imperial City Division, compared with those surrounding countries, Ning Country has regressed a lot in the past twenty or thirty years, and it is even inferior to the Great Wilderness Country that has just been founded!
There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is the collapse of the commercial order, and it is the exploitation of merchants by officials at all levels that causes them to lose their enthusiasm for doing business.
The big businessmen began to shrink their industries, and the small and medium-sized businessmen were now holding on to their own livelihoods, and they had no interest in continuing to expand.
And the business is even more difficult.
Not only the bandits on the way, but also the huge commercial taxes in each city.
Of course, the best life is the six major clans of the Ning Kingdom.
Four of the five major mansions, plus the Jiangnan Shang clan and the Annan Qu clan, they are the biggest chaebols in Ningguo!
The Chengguo Mansion controls the four major horse farms in Ningguo.
The Duke of Qi has the most silver numbers in Ning State, such as the most famous Bafu Qian Zhuang, which is one of the livelihoods under the Duke of Qi!
The Duke of Yanguo holds the five major mines in Ningguo and occupies almost seventy percent of Ningguo's iron smelting share.
The Duke of Luo controlled the six major salt farms in Ningguo, including the Gongjing Salt Works in Rong County, Shuzhou.
There is only one Huaiguo Mansion and now it has decayed, and the Cao Yun that was originally in his hands has now been taken over by the descendants of the Shang Prime Minister, the Jiangnan Shang family.
The Jiangnan Shang clan is only a hundred years old and is extremely low-key, but in the dossier of the Imperial City Division, it has now become one of the six major clans with Jiangnan silk and Caoyun.
As for the Annan Qu clan, this family was originally the first family in the Yong Kingdom.
Lu Zhan is a warrior, and it is said that the head of the Qu clan has made great contributions.
Therefore, Lu Zhan wiped out the royal family of Yongguo, and the Qu family was not only implicated, but also got the best tea mountain of the royal family of Yongguo.
The existence of these clans is a historical necessity.
They were attached to the royal family and set up a strong function for the royal family, which in the eyes of everyone in this era is what they deserve.
But they have a monopoly on these most lucrative livelihoods, and these livelihoods do not have to pay taxes to the state.
They earn more than half of the money of the whole society, but the taxes of the state need to be shared by the common people and small businessmen.
It's not fair!
But Li Chen'an at least does not have the ability to break this monopoly situation at present, he can only find another way-
For example, with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he also went to occupy a mine or salt factory.
Then rely on the technologies you know to increase the output and improve the goods, seize the market with better quality and lower prices, and then slowly defeat them!
This first knife should start from the salt pan of the Luo Guogong Mansion.
He drank the cup of tea, stood up with his hands on his knees, and looked out the window.
I watched a loneliness!
The leaves of those plum trees have turned yellow, and they even cover the plum orchard.
Then...... It was only on its bare branches that it would bear flower bones, and it was not until a winter snow came that they would bloom all over the garden.
Li Chenan was about to walk out, but unexpectedly, Wang Zhengjinzhong stepped into the door of this painting Mei Xuan.
"Lord Xiao Li!"
Wang Zhengjinzhong bowed his hand: "The arrangement has been in place according to your requirements, and the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake have really connected Shuangjiao Island and Shuangjiao Mountain with a boat, and are now carrying those grains to Shuangjiao Island." ”
"The Guangling Sailor led by Lord Zhongli Qiuyang is now hiding in the Xiaocong River, which is more than fifty miles away from Shuangjiao Lake, waiting for you to attack at any time when the fireworks in Shuangjiao Mountain are a signal. ”
"Lord Eldest Sun sent his subordinates to ask you, when are you going to act?"
Li Chenan sighed for three breaths, "Three days later...... That is, on the morning of September 16, you brought all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion here to pick me up!"
Wang Zhengjinzhong was slightly stunned, and asked in a low voice: "Shouldn't you go quietly?"
"No, let's go with great fanfare!"
“...... Subordinates obey!"
"In addition, the eldest grandson also asked his subordinates to tell you something. ”
"What?"
"General Wu Mian left Kyoto in ten days and went to Changle Palace!"
Li Chenan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the presence of this general Wu Mian in the court was not too high.
After the current emperor ascended the throne, he reformed the military system and transferred all military power to the military department and the emperor himself.
The original general's palace was hollowed out into an empty shell, and although the general Wu Mian still stayed in the yamen, what he did was no longer to formulate a military plan and deploy troops and horses across the country, but to ...... Give some advice to the Ministry of War or the Emperor.
But once the eldest grandson Jinghong mentioned Wu Mian, who was about fifty years old, and once served as a hussar general in the hands of Lu Zhanxiao, and participated in the battle to destroy the Yong Kingdom.
He also spent time in the Western Frontier Army, served as the general of the Western Frontier Army, and fought several battles with the barbarians of the Western Moon Kingdom, and won all of them!
Sixteen years ago, at the age of thirty-four, he was in his best condition, but he was transferred by the emperor from the Western Frontier Army and returned to Kyoto, where he served as a general and guarded the empty room of the general's palace.
The eldest grandson said that Xu was related to the fact that he had been a hussar general in the hands of Lu Zhanxiao, which was secretly descended to Xuezang by the emperor.
So, why did he go to Changle Palace?
"Send someone to keep an eye on Changle Palace!"
"Also...... The other three places in Kyoto's Four David Cities have also sent people to keep an eye on me!"
“...... My lord, the city guards of the other three acropolis are all from the Cheng State Mansion and the Qi State Mansion. ”
"Beware of the Ten Thousand Year Ship!"
"Jitai isn't that stupid!"
"In case his real purpose is Kyoto...... That's going to kill a lot of people!"
