The Jia family's house was demolished and rebuilt, and the two brothers rented a house in Daode Fang.

"Ping'an, I said it was going to take half a year!" Yang Deli was a little reluctant, and moved many pots and jars back and forth many times.

"Half a year, half a year." Jia Ping'an doesn't care, he just spends money like running water, which gives him a headache.

Gao Yang is here again.

Her pony whip was inlaid with several gemstones, and the nouveau riche aura made Master Jia very envious.

"The emperor is poor."

The emperor was poor.

After gritting his teeth and giving 25,000 guan, it is reported that the emperor did not eat dinner.

The prime ministers asked to see each other.

After some glancing, Li Tao got up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of building a nursing home...... The minister thought that it should have been a matter of Shangshu Province, but the minister did not realize the disadvantages of being lonely and unsupported, and was guilty. The minister implored His Majesty to retract the order and pay for it from the court. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Yes! His Majesty issued 25,000 internal funds, which was not easy...... The ministers all sensed His Majesty's compassion for the people. But it is not easy in the palace, the first emperor died, it will cost a lot, and it will cost a lot to change the yuan canonization next year, so it is better to pay this money from the court. ”

Li Zhi's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After the death of the first emperor, there were too many places for him to spend money, but since he had spoken out about the almshouse, how could he regret it?

The so-called gentleman has no jokes, but he is talking about prestige.

As an emperor, your words and deeds are watched by the world, and what you say must be practiced. Regret it today, change it tomorrow...... Everyone will know that what the emperor said did not work.

The consequences of this are far more serious than 25,000 guan, so Li Zhi has to swallow his own tears even if he has tears.

"This matter has been decided, and everyone is carefully watching, if someone takes advantage of this to enrich their own pockets, they will be severely punished!" Li Zhi couldn't help but feel funny when he thought of the Wang family coming to look for him last night, with a look of reverence.

Obviously, my heart hurts, but what do I want to say...... Your Majesty is merciful, and the concubines rejoice in their hearts......

And Xiao Shi was obviously much more direct, and said with a sad face that he was afraid that he would have a hard life for a while.

A hard day is a hard life.

Li Zhi got up and said, "It's not that I am in a position, I will be ...... that day That's it, you can come with me and go and have a look together. ”

The prime ministers looked at each other, and Yu Zhining said: "Your Majesty, there are still a lot of political affairs on the minister's side......"

The emperor and the prime minister sat and talked about it, which was characteristic of this period. The courtiers have something to say directly, and they are not as restrained and cautious as the later generations.

Li Zhi said seriously: "I think that when you go and take a look, you can know in your heart." ”

Well, the crowd went out with the emperor.

"Zhuqing, let's go and change your clothes." Li Zhi himself returned to the harem, and naturally there were palace maids to change his clothes, but the ministers ......

"Your Majesty, where are you going to take us?" Chu Suiliang felt that the emperor was a little weird.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "Let's see." ”

Later, the monarchs and ministers changed into civilian clothes and gathered in the imperial city, and then went out.

Li Zhi led the way in front and went straight to Dongshi.

Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "How can Your Majesty be familiar with the way...... Looking like you've been to East Market recently? ”

Officials above the fifth grade are not allowed to enter the market, this is the rule.

But the emperor came in with a swagger of the prime ministers.

"The East Market is becoming more and more prosperous."

"Yes! Look at those merchants, look at those guests, such as the carp crossing the river, it can be seen that the business of the Tang Dynasty is flourishing today. ”

Although the prime ministers also look down on businessmen, they do not prevent their families from doing business and making money.

Li Zhi stopped suddenly, and everyone followed.

"Look there."

The crowd looked along his arm and saw several beggars.

"Isn't that a beggar?" Chu Suiliang regretted it as soon as he said it.

"Yes! That's the beggar. Li Zhi said: "Look at them, on such a cold day, they can only hide under the eaves, if there is a kind person to give a few pennies, it will be a great joy...... But not every day people give money, and in those days they can only suffer from cold and starvation...... I ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji felt that the emperor's voice was wrong, so he took a step forward.

"Pheasant slave!"

Everyone felt that something was wrong, and when they stepped forward to take a look, they were shocked to find that the emperor was in tears.

"I think of when I was a child." Li Zhi wiped a handful of tears, "At that time, I had no one to take care of in the palace, and a few brothers met occasionally, and they touched the top of my head like a puppy...... Later, he became the crown prince, and I and my son were raised by the side of the first emperor. The first emperor was busy, and my sister and I relied on each other every day......"

Everyone looked ahead, and a little girl shrunk in a boy's arms and shivered.

"After I ascended the throne, I thought of everything, but I forgot what the first emperor said...... People-oriented. ”

He strode over.

The little girl's body trembled when it was blown by the wind, and suddenly felt that there was no wind, and she looked up happily, "Brother, there is no wind." ”

The boy looked up with her and looked at Li Zhi, who was blocking the wind.

"What about the parents?"

Li Zhi was young, looking kind, and the boy said, "Aya and A-Niang have gone." ”

"Then why don't you go to your relatives?" Chu Suiliang's question came from behind him.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and motioned for him not to speak.

If there are relatives who can take refuge, how can these two children end up here?

Li Zhi reached out and touched the dirty face of the girl, turned around and said, "It's cold, these children ...... Find them a place to go, and then go back and wait for the almshouse to be built before sending it. ”

The prime ministers also understood the emperor's thoughts, and they turned out to be sympathetic to the people.

The emperor has mercy on the people, this is the appearance of the Ming monarch, and the prime ministers were overjoyed for a while.

Then Junchen took a turn in the East Market by the way.

Chu Suiliang suddenly snorted, and everyone looked over with his line of sight......

Xu Jingzong!

Lao Xu was dressed in plain clothes, talking to the merchant with his eyebrows, Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I'm not here to buy something." ”

Wupin officials are not allowed to enter the market, Lao Xu is the history of Yongzhou Thorn, and the level belongs to the top level, and he has already passed this line.

Li Zhi's face turned dark, thinking that this henchman really didn't fight for his face today, and he was arrested on the spot.

"Call him."

Li Zhi stood with his back to him, and Tang Xu, who was accompanying him, quietly passed.

"Xu Gong!"

"Don't make a fuss!" Xu Jingzong was asking the price, and when he heard someone calling, he just ignored it.

Tang Xu patted him on the shoulder again, "Gong Xu!" ”

You're not done, are you?

Xu Jingzong turned around and saw that it was Tang Xu, and he thought of the emperor in his heart.

He swept his gaze ahead and saw a group of familiar old men, plus a familiar back.

"Let's go." Lao Xu hurried over, and Tang Xu was so hurried that he almost didn't catch up.

"Your Majesty...... I've seen Lang Jun. Lao Xu changed his words quickly.

Chu Suiliang sneered at him: "Why did you come to Dongshi?" ”

This matter was seen by them, it is impossible to be good, if the emperor does not deal with Lao Xu, the impeachment of the imperial history is indispensable.

Xu Jingzong raised his head at him, which was disdainful, and then leaned to the emperor's side, and said with a smile: "Langjun, every winter, the price of grain and vegetables in Chang'an City will change and rise, the old man came here today, and the family asked ......."

He pulled out a few pieces of paper, as well as a charcoal pencil.

Li Zhi took the paper and looked at it, it was full of records of the prices of various rice grains and vegetables, which were very detailed.

"Xu Qing has a heart."

Several prime ministers responded in their hearts, especially Chu Suiliang, who felt that they had been cut by Lao Xu.

"What's the use of recording such things?" Chu Suiliang is most talked about for calligraphy, as for his political achievements...... is to hold on to the thighs of the eldest grandson Wuji, the uncle of the country, and soar all the way.

And although Lao Xu also hugs his thighs, he can also do some practical things, so he naturally looks down on Chu Suiliang.

Lao Xu is a direct person, he doesn't give face when he looks down on you, and often squeezes you a few words, which can be called a good hand at pulling hatred.

So back and forth, the relationship between him and Chu Suiliang naturally became worse and worse.

So Xu Jingzong squinted at him and said, "Why did the old man tell you?" ”

It's invincible!

Li Zhi's cheeks twitched, and he felt that his henchmen were really vulgar in doing things, but why was I in such a happy mood!

Chu Suiliang didn't expect Lao Xu to turn his face on the spot, so he said lightly: "If you don't understand, you won't understand, why don't you pretend to understand." ”

Lao Xu understands the price of a fart, which the prime ministers present know.

Xu Jingzong felt that he was despised, "Write down the daily price, gather it together for analysis, and finally get the result, so that the DPRK and China can know the changes in the entire Tang Dynasty according to it......"

Chu Suiliang looked admiring, "How do you know?" ”

The old man still doesn't know you Xu Jingzong?

Wencai Lao Xu is really powerful, but playing with people's livelihood ......

It's as ridiculous as weasels caring about the lives of chickens and ducks.

Xu Jingzong wanted to speak and stopped, but he was stuck.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling that this scene was too joyful, and his depressed mood in the past few days had improved a lot.

Li Zhi thought that it was not easy for his henchmen, so he said: "I'll talk about this matter later." ”

Chu Suiliang gave Xu Jingzong a look and signaled him not to be sneering.

The provocation from the old opponent made Xu Jingzong furious, "Lang Jun, Xiao Jia knows about this. ”

"Who?" Li Zhi was stunned.

"Wu Yangnan, Jia Ping'an."

Li Zhi nodded, "Let him come." ”

Later, the monarch and the minister arrived at the government hall.

Li Zhi looked around and said with concern: "The political hall is a place for the prime minister to discuss matters, but it looks simple, go back and repair it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is not easy for the court and the central government now, it is better to have money in the people's livelihood, as for us, it is enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

It's just politeness.

The eldest grandson Wuji took the pieces of paper and said with some curiosity: "Just rely on this...... The old man knows that prices are related to people's livelihood, but how can he know about the changes in the entire Tang Dynasty? ”

"This ......," Xu Jingzong said to him, "It's quite luxurious here, Your Majesty, this wood ...... It turned out to be sandalwood? It's too extravagant. ”

Hehe!

Everyone laughed, thinking that Lao Xu was going to lose face this time.

Of course, Li Zhi knew that this was sandalwood, and he had seen the construction list of the political hall back then, and it was a lot of money, but he still has to say that it is too simple today.

"Huh!" Chu Suiliang suddenly covered his stomach, got up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister will retreat for the time being." ”

This is to go to the thatched house.

Chu Suiliang went out and happened to meet Jia Ping'an coming in. He stood in the shadows, his eyes squinting slightly, the corners of his mouth curled......

Then he rubbed his belly, and instead of going to the thatched house, he followed him into the political hall.

Li Zhi looked at the prime ministers present, and his eyes stayed on Li Tao's body for a while.

"Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an is here."

Jia Ping'an came with a disgraced face, Li Zhi was happy in his heart, and immediately thought of Xu Jingzong's words, so he said in a deep voice: "I ask you, when you check the prices of Chang'an every day, you can find out the changes in various places in Datang?" In the early years, I also went out of the palace from time to time, I saw those merchants, I saw those peddlers, but whenever I lied perfunctorily, I ...... Severe punishment will not be loaned! ”

This young man harmed Li Zhi's poor clanging, and when I saw him at this moment, it was really a new hatred and an old hatred together.

If you can't answer, or if you are perfunctory, you will be pestering ......

Li Zhi smiled cruelly in his heart for a moment.

"Change?" Jia Ping'an glanced at Lao Xu.

Lao Xu looked helpless.

It's not that he didn't give his strength, but he was caught on the spot.

Jia Ping'an understood, he thought for a while, "Your Majesty, the center of the Tang Dynasty is Chang'an, there is no doubt about it." ”

Li Zhi nodded.

The capital is the center, it is the core, which dynasty and generation are all this urine.

"Businessmen communicate with each other, where there is money to earn, they go wherever they want, their eyes are sharper than officials, and they are more able to endure hardships than officials."

Some businessmen in their previous lives worked hard when they started their businesses, which is really unimaginable.

"So what?" Yu Zhining said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the point." ”

Jia Ping'an glanced at the prime minister of the wall, "The best place to make money in the entire Tang Dynasty is Chang'an City, and all businessmen in the world are proud to do business in Chang'an City." But all the goods in the world are gathered in Chang'an City, and if you want to make money, you have to have an advantage. Either the price is cheap, or the goods are good......"

"These goods come from all over the Tang Dynasty, such as cattle and sheep from Xiazhou, Xiangzhang from Yazhou, wood carving from Lingnan, silk from Hangzhou, ......."

Jia Ping'an picked up a piece of paper, pointed to one on it and said, "Your Majesty, please look here." ”

Li Zhi glanced at it, "This is the price of Yazhou Xiangzhang in Chang'an City, what do you want to say?" Could it be that this fragrant roe deer can actually see the movement of Yazhou? ”

Jia Ping'an raised his head slightly, and Li Zhi returned to the years when he faced Mr. in a trance.

"Your Majesty, the fragrant roe deer of Yazhou...... Look here, at the beginning of October, the price of Yazhou Xiangzhang was about 19 guan and 300 wen. But in mid-October, the price of Diezhou roe deer suddenly increased...... Twenty-three and six hundred ......"

The incense roe deer is used to take the sachet, some people want the sachet, some people like the live body, Yazhou supplies this thing all year round, so the price is relatively mature.

Li Zhi sighed, "Indeed." ”

Jia Ping'an glanced at Chu Suiliang, he sneered at Lao Xu and was seen by Jia Ping'an, Lao Xu was covered by Jia Ping'an, so he naturally wanted to find the field.

"Does Gong Chu know the mystery here?"

Chu Suiliang......

Old man...... I don't know anything, the old man only knows how to hold Uncle Guo's thigh.

As for the price, where will the prime minister's family be short of money, and Chu Suiliang doesn't pay attention to the fragrant roe deer at all, where does he know what mystery is inside?

He snorted, "Is there any mystery in this, you can tell me." ”

That's it, brother, I'll try to slap you in the face.

Wuyang man is just starting out, and someone has to come to sacrifice the flag!

Jia Ping'an said: "Yazhou is close to Diezhou, and when Diezhou fights with the Tubo people...... It was the beginning of September. The merchant was the most keen, and when he learned that there was an invasion of the Tibetans in Diezhou, he immediately stopped all business, and only the brave ones took the incense deer on the road. So the incense roe is out of stock, and the price will naturally rise, which is the market rule, and it is necessary to check for the phase! ”

Li Tao said softly: "This matter is interesting, if you find out the news of the unexpected price increase of the Xiangzhang in Yazhou, and then ask the merchants, you can get the news that there are Tubo people entering the country in Diezhou, so ......."

He looked at Jia Ping'an, his eyes blazing.

This teenager ......

He could do that!

Jia Ping'an said with a reserved chin: "The herdsmen on the grassland live in the grass, and the merchants pursue profits, no one can stop the footsteps of the merchants, as long as you pay attention to them, pay attention to the price and goods of their goods, and then carefully analyze, the local situation will have nothing to hide." ”

Years later, a country's secret spy department analyzed the location of oil production based on just a photo, and this is the analysis.

And more analysis is even more powerful after the improvement of various auxiliary conditions, so there are many rules, such as the army is not allowed to take photos and upload them.

It's a science.

Chu Suiliang blurted out: "What is the evidence? ”

"After half a month, Diezhou was stabilized, and the news of the defeat of Tubo spread all over the party, and the merchants of Yazhou came to Chang'an again, so they ...... Look here! ”

Jia Ping'an pointed to the piece of paper and said: "Half a month later, the price of Yazhou Xiangzhang fell, and even lowered, why?" ”

He looked at Chu Suiliang.

Chu Suiliang frowned, "The shaft is rude!" ”

Xu Jingzong was aggrieved for a long time, and at this time he couldn't help it, "Jia Ping'an is a Wuyang man!" ”

How does it sound like ...... What about the dancers?

Jia Ping'an finally found the reason why he was uncomfortable with this knighthood, and it turned out that his thoughts were not pure.

Chu Suiliang's lips squirmed, but in the end he had nothing to say.

Wuyang is the beginning of the title, but with this beginning, it means that Jia Ping'an can talk to him face-to-face, without bowing his head or dodging.

This is the greatest benefit of knighthood.

Li Zhi also wanted to know why, he looked at that piece of paper, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.

"The price has been reduced for half a month, and then the price has returned to normal, why is this?"

The status of Datang merchants is low, and the status of even business is not high, so a group of monarchs and ministers are confused when they look at these data.

But Jia Ping'an was clear at a glance, "Your Majesty, the price increase was caused by the previous out-of-stock, and then the goods were delivered in large quantities, but the people who could buy them would not buy them at once." The roe deer is not easy to raise, so the merchant can only sell it at a reduced price...... This is the price reduction, and then the supply and marketing of the goods are balanced, so the price is naturally stable. ”

Li Zhi was surprised, "So that's the case." ”

He looked at the data again, "Sure enough, these price increases and price reductions...... There are more goods and less goods, and after careful thinking, you can see the quality of a place, which is really extraordinary. ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an once learned from strangers back then, and his skills are no less than those of his ministers!" It's a pity that it has been pressed down by some sanctimonious people who deceive the world and steal fame...... Pity! Alas! Hateful! ”

This is a war against Chu Suiliang.

This horn blew to give Li Zhi a headache.

But Jia Ping'an felt that it was inappropriate, "Xu Gong, it's not that it's pressed underneath, but ...... Stoop to the bottom. ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned, "Is there a difference?" ”

"Absolutely."

It's too ugly to press underneath!

Jia Ping'an looked at Chu Suiliang and said calmly: "And this has a big benefit, has Chu Gongke found out?" ”

Chu Suiliang was already a little messy at the moment, he took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, and he didn't know the essentials for a long time.

"Huh!" Jia Ping'an smiled, "This great advantage is of great benefit to the country and the people, and it is even more indispensable to Your Majesty......"
