Just as Jian Yong just said, the existence of this Guilin County Palace, which controls the lifeblood of the Great Qi Dynasty, is actually a threat to this Great Qi Dynasty. According to what Jian Yong said, the imperial court has almost lost all restraint on the Guilin County Palace. And in his hands not only held 3,000 military horses, but also monopolized the right to trade overseas. For more than 100 years, it has accumulated great wealth.

Until now, it can be said that the Guilin County Palace's palace sneezes and shakes three times, and it is not just a year of income? I'm afraid that the entire Great Qi Dynasty will tremble three times. If a certain king of Guilin County was unwilling to be a prince of a foreign domain that day, he also thought about changing into a dragon robe to wear. Not much, as soon as the money and grain handed over by the Guilin County Mansion every year stopped, the imperial court probably didn't even have military funds to quell the rebellion.

When the time comes, relying on the large amount of wealth in his hands to ascend to the heights, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos immediately. As the saying goes, if you don't have money, you can't gather troops, and this Guilin County Mansion is so rich, it is estimated that the wealth in the mansion can feed hundreds of thousands of troops, which is not a problem at all. The existence of such a family may have affected the stability of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Huang Qiong thinks that with the eyes of his emperor Lao Tzu, it is impossible not to see these points. Especially the rebellion of the two kings of Jing and Rui this time, it is estimated that it also gave the emperor a wake-up call. If you have money, you may not really know how to raise soldiers. Therefore, I, the emperor Laozi, is ready to start taking the Guilin County Palace.

Although it is not necessary to make the Guilin County Palace, at least some rights must be withdrawn and the control of the Guilin County Palace should be re-strengthened. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong frowned slightly. Through Jian Yong's mouth, the emperor told himself what these things were going to do? Dao himself, the emperor Lao Tzu, is ready to let himself come forward to fight with the Guilin County Palace?

Judging from the things he let himself know through Jian Yong, this is not an ordinary possibility. Otherwise, there is no need for these things to let themselves know at all? Jian Yong has said so much to himself today, it is estimated that it will not take long for the emperor's secret decree to come down. Huang Qiong, who wanted to understand the emperor's meaning, couldn't help but have black lines in her head.

He, the emperor Laozi, thought that he was too idle in Zhengzhou, so he thought that he had nothing to do for himself? Or does he think that he really has that kind of great ability? Can it really compete with this kind of family that has been inherited for a hundred years and is rich in the sea, and still has to meet the requirements and goals of the emperor?

Isn't he worried that his own young self in this regard will be devoured by that head or that group of old foxes, and it will affect the income of the imperial court? I am neither the emperor nor the crown prince, so why should such a difficult task be entrusted to me? Among his brothers, there are people who are willing to work for him, why do they have to stare at themselves?

After figuring out the emperor's thoughts, Huang Qiong's rosary in his hand turned quickly, and he kept thinking about how to push this errand out. Just kidding, to compete with this century-old family. Under the circumstance that his emperor, Lao Tzu, who is also like an old fox, will definitely not openly support it, isn't he purely looking for death?

This errand must be pushed off, this is inevitable. However, thinking of his old fox-like emperor Lao Tzu, Huang Qiong felt that she still had to prepare for both. At least you have to be prepared with both hands, and if you really can't push it off when the time comes, there is also a room for relaxation and a backhand. At least you have to have all the information, it's called planning and then acting, isn't it?

After thinking about it, he raised his head and carefully looked at the map that had been marked with a lot of things by Jian Yong, and hesitated for a moment: "Lord Jian, with your understanding of the Guilin County Palace, if you meet your father's intentions, which aspect is better." After all, this local tyrant family has too many properties under its name. ”

"If you don't want to force the Guilin County Palace, you have to at least leave something for others. Besides, if you are greedy and chew too much, you will get too much at once, and the court will not have the time, energy, or manpower to deal with it. On the contrary, it is easier to leave a handle for others. You must know that the Guilin County Mansion was the first hero of the founding of the country. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's inquiry, Jian Yong looked at Huang Qiong, who was expressionless at this time, hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, in fact, the Guilin County Royal Mansion is now so strong, in the final analysis, it only relies on one power, that is, the right to trade with foreign countries. Since the rebellion of the former Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were occupied by Tibet, and the Silk Road was cut off, most of the merchants who came to our dynasty changed to take the sea route. ”

"And by sea, although you have to face hurricanes, and a lot of unforeseen things. However, compared with the land trade route, the volume of sea shipping is large, and as long as there are no accidents, the cost and loss are much less than that of the land route. How many horses did it take to carry the goods of a large ship weighing 2,000 stones? In addition to worrying about big waves and weather, there is no need to worry about robbers on land. ”

"You don't have to fight countless checkpoints along the way, and there are so many tribes and countries along the way that you pay taxes, and you don't have to worry about the death of horses and camels that don't get rid of the goods. Therefore, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, shipping has gradually replaced land and become the main means of trade with the Western Zhuyi. ”

"And the medicines, silk, porcelain, and tea of our dynasty are very popular among the princes and nobles in the far west. Often ten through the goods, encountered in the West is worth a thousand gold. At present, the extravagance of the DPRK and China is flourishing again, with spices, ivory, rhino horns, and precious wood from the South Seas, folding fans, swords, geishas, and pearls from the East, Korean ginseng, bear bile, and Korean concubines. ”

"Persia, the dancing girl of the Great Eat, the Kunlun slave, the scimitar, and even the Great Eating Horse are all popular among the powerful people everywhere. Shipped back, it is also worth 10,000 gold. As long as there are no strong winds and waves along the way, causing the ship to capsize and die, this trip is basically a million profits. Fujian Road shipwright, Yong during his tenure in the Fujian Road Transshipment Division, has a special understanding of these things. ”

"It is by relying on the exclusive right of foreign trade that the Guilin County Mansion has been able to control the entire Jiangnan commerce and accumulate great wealth. If the imperial court wants to open up more tax sources and solve the vicious circle of declining revenue, this right of trade must be withdrawn. The original monopoly of the Guilin County Wangfu was changed to a foreign trade by merchants from all over the world. ”

In this way, we can broaden the sources of taxation and fundamentally change the current situation of insufficient revenue for the imperial court. Second, Guilinwei's military power must be withdrawn from the Guilin County Palace. Either the 3,000 men were reduced to 1,000, or the imperial court took over the power of the army. Third, the head of the branch of the Guilin County Royal Mansion was reappointed by the imperial court. ”

"And the last point, that is the problem of Wuwei Qianzhuang. The Guilin County Mansion relied on Wuwei Qianzhuang, and almost the entire money circulation of the Great Qi Dynasty was in his own hands. Is it the military expenditure of the imperial court in and out, and the distribution of officials, all need to look at the eyes of Wuwei Qianzhuang, not to mention those merchants who need to make a large amount of money for transactions? ”

"It seems that the royal mansion of Guilin County only occupies half of the south of the Yangtze River. But in fact, through Wuwei Qianzhuang, all walks of life in the entire Great Qi Dynasty were tied around him. Especially those merchants who need to borrow money to maintain their operations, I am afraid that they are now inseparable from the Guilin County Palace. Lord Wang, there is no instability, no business, no wealth. ”

"The merchants of the world all rely on the Guilin County Palace, do you think about how threatening this consequence is? If the Guilin County Mansion was not borrowing money that day, then these merchants? Compared with the monopoly of the right to trade, this Wuwei money village is actually a greater threat to the imperial court. It's like an invisible, invisible hand, quietly controlling everything. ”

"As a person, you don't necessarily have to seal this Wuwei Money Bank. As long as you can support one, or a few money banks that can compete with it, let Wuwei Money Bank not dominate in one family, even if it can't completely change this situation. But at least it can be greatly reduced, and the control of this Wuwei money bank over the merchants. ”

After listening to Jian Yong's four suggestions, Huang Qiong stood up and looked at this guy. He had to admit that this guy did have the potential to be a capable minister. These four points, especially the first and fourth points, are stabbed into the waist of the Guilin County Palace. The royal palace of Guilin County is rampant in the entire south of the Yangtze River, relying on this right of foreign trade?

If other merchants want to sell silk, porcelain, tea, and even medicine in their hands, it is impossible to rely on the Guilin County Palace. And the Guilin County Mansion itself has its own tea gardens, porcelain kilns, and even silk workshops, how can it give convenience to these peers who compete with themselves? I'm afraid that these merchants are also very dissatisfied with the price reduction.

If the exclusive right of trade of the Guilin County Royal Mansion is really abolished, I am afraid that it is the merchants of the world who are happy. In this way, the commercial tax of the imperial court will not only be collected so little every year. The harm of Wuwei Qianzhuang's dominance comes from Huang Qiong, who is in the era of developed market economy thousands of years later, and it is even clearer.

Huang Qiong stood up and paced in the study for a long time before raising his head and looking at Jian Yongdao: "This king has to admit that your focus is not ordinary. From this point of view, you do have the ability to be a capable minister. Still, you're thinking about it a little simpler. It is not a problem for the royal mansion of Guilin County to build a tea garden, a porcelain kiln, or a weaving workshop. ”

"Even the three thousand guards are not a big deal. The key lies in this exclusive right to trade, as well as Wuwei Qianzhuang. If you really want to cut off these two financial routes, you are forcing the Guilin County Palace. Lord Jane, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents. If the imperial court really retracted the right to trade and Wuwei Qianzhuang, even if the Guilin County Mansion did not want to rebel, it would have to rebel. ”

"If the Guilin County Mansion really rebels against it, a crime after forcing the heroes to rebel, it is impossible for you to wear it even if you don't want to. When the time comes, this head of yours, even if my father wants to keep it again, in order to appease the ministers and the Guilin County Palace, I am afraid that I can only endure the pain and cut my love. Master Jane, your courage is not ordinary. ”

Huang Qiong's words, Jian Yong shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, you are really wrong, Yong's courage is not so big. Yong's idea was that whether it was Wuwei Qian Zhuang or the right to trade, the imperial court should not forcibly take it back. Wuwei Money Village, the imperial court can support some money banks to fight with it. As far as Yong knows, many money banks are dissatisfied with Wuwei Qianzhuang's domineering behavior. ”

"It's just that I have limited capital and don't have the strength to compete with Wuwei Qianzhuang. In Yong's view, it is not appropriate for the imperial court to come forward directly in this matter, which will cause the Guilin County Palace, and even the descendants of the nobles who were shareholders back then, to openly confront the imperial court. In the current situation, this kind of confrontation is harmful to the imperial court, after all, the imperial court cannot afford to offend the Guilin County Palace. ”

"Why don't the imperial court support two or three of the existing money houses that have formed a certain scale to fight against Wuwei money villages, and the court will secretly support them behind the scenes. As for the right to trade, Yi Yong believes that the Quanzhou City Division, which is currently managed by the Guilin County Palace, will be directly taken over by people who are proficient in financial management selected by the imperial court. ”

"The power of the Municipal Department to issue trade documents was withdrawn from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, or the Privy Council. The Municipal Department was changed to be in charge of taxation and the management of foreign ships and shipwrights coming to trade. Originally, the rights of the Guilin County Royal Mansion were gradually recovered by the imperial court, or even in the form of transactions. ”
