Chapter 1327 - Seeking Officials
Li Qiniang's grandfather and Zhesaihua's grandfather have all become ministers of the cabinet, which greatly stimulated Han Xianglan's father, Han Kuangsi.
Ever since Han Kuangsi dedicated the Khitan princess Yelu bottle to Li Zhongyi, the entire Han family in Youzhou has been wiped out by the Khitans.
In today's Han family, there are only two left, Han Kuangsi and Han Xianglan's father and daughter.
Originally, Han Kuangsi was worried about the major events of the inheritance, however, he accepted a few concubines, and there was no movement in his stomach.
Later, it was Han Xianglan who found a suitable opportunity to ask Li Zhongyi, and Li Zhongyi taught Han Kuangsi a few fertility tricks. Today's Han family already has three male babies.
This man will never be satisfied. Han Kuangsi, who solved the problem of the next generation, was quiet and uneasy about the status quo.
Taking the opportunity of Han Xianglan to go home to save her relatives, Han Kuangsi told her his thoughts.
Han Xianglan, who was named a concubine, has only one daughter so far, named Xiangniu.
However, after Ye Xiaolan already had a badger lang, she had the Li family's small bun in her stomach, which was really breathless.
"Father, I have worked hard to help you ask for a son last time. I really can't help you this time. Han Xianglan was holding back the fire in her heart, but she had to hold back her temperament and explain carefully, "Li Qiniang, the most favored in the inner palace, has never been involved in government affairs, what kind of green onion is her daughter, dare to risk such a big disapproval?" ”
Han Kuangsi has been in the sea for a long time, and he doesn't understand the truth of what Han Xianglan said, but after all, he used to be the head of the Hanchen of the Khitan Kingdom, where is he willing to be a rich man?
"I know what you're talking about. I don't want to be in the cabinet, I just want to be a state governor. and so on, and made political achievements, relying on hard skills to get promoted. Han Kuangsi is also an understanding person, and he did not put forward too many conditions.
According to the Zhou system, not to mention that Han Kuangsi is now a fifth-grade official, even if it is a seventh-grade official who is a person who knows the state, it is not uncommon.
"Father, didn't you get very close to Kong Kun Kong Xianggong before?" Han Xianglan felt a little strange in her heart, so she asked Han Kuangsi.
Han Kuangsi sighed and said with annoyance: "I also blame me for being bad, I blinded my heart to pork, and I wanted to please Liu Xianggong in private, but I taught Kong Kun to know." ”
Han Xianglan was angry for a while, and people who play politics are the most taboo to openly step on two boats. People who are really capable will always have only one public position, but in private, they can step on n boats.
In the final analysis, Li Zhongyi had an opinion on Han Kuangsi, a second minister, and did not reuse his mind. Otherwise, let alone the governor, even if it is the minister of the cabinet, it is just a matter of Li Zhongyi's words.
"Father, you're really confused." Han Xianglan said with a straight face, "If you want to be an official, you only need to please the emperor, and you don't need to look at anyone's eyes." ”
Han Xianglan was originally an intellectual young woman, and in recent years, she has been engaged in excerpts and writing excerpts in the inner study.
Location determines height, and after Han Xianglan has seen more government affairs, her knowledge is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.
This is the same as Wu Zetian, she has handled the government affairs for Li Zhi, who suffers from eye disease, for many years, and her ability to master government affairs is naturally far beyond the ministers.
Li Zhong...... What does the emperor like? What Han Kuangsi was waiting for was Han Xianglan's complaint, and he happened to ask the question in his heart.
Han Xianglan didn't understand the pit that Han Kuangsi dug for her, however, after all, they were father and daughter, no matter what she said, if Han Xianglan gave birth to a son in the future, she would also need strong support from outside the family.
In other words, the more proud Han Kuangsi is in the officialdom, the more powerful Han Xianglan and her son will have to grab the position in the future.
As the saying goes, people have no foresight, but there must be near-term worries!
In addition to the advantages of the so-called family gate valve, in addition to being able to afford to read, having a lot of money, and having officials in the clan, what is more important is the problem of political speculation.
For example, can high school students from poor mountainous areas in rural areas be comparable with high school students from the second or second rich city in a megacity to compare the so-called quality (various hobbies with extra points in the college entrance examination)?
"Father, you fought everywhere, but you hit your head and bleed. If you don't fight, you're likely to make a career. Han Xianglan's words were like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and they immediately woke up Han Kuangsi.
"Father, listen to your daughter's words, Li Xianggong and Zhen Lao Xianggong are both transitional ministers, and Liu Xianggong is the evergreen tree in the future." Han Xianglan really hated the feeling that iron could not become steel.
Han Kuangsi was not stupid, but after the clan was destroyed, he was depressed and did not keep his mind.
Han Xianglan was able to go home to save her relatives, but she still entrusted her daughter Xiangniu's blessing. Li Zhongyi hugged Xiang Niu and teased her, she actually said that she missed her grandfather.
After all, Li Zhongyi loved his own daughter, and his heart softened, so he gave Han Xianglan a day and allowed her to go home to save her relatives.
After having dinner at Han's house, Han Xianglan hugged Xiangniu and took a carriage back to Lao Li's house.
As soon as she entered the door, Han Xianglan heard that Ye Xiaolan was about to give birth. Ye Xiaolan already has a badger under her knees, if she has another son, I am afraid that even the fox's tail will be raised to the sky.
Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan are sworn enemies among sworn enemies, and the contradictions are so deep that they are almost inextricable.
Objectively speaking, Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan were both born in Youzhou, and they should have been very close.
However, the tension in the relationship, caused by many contradictions, can no longer be reconciled.
It's just that Li Zhongyi doesn't like his women, and they fight to the death openly, and Ye and Han don't dare to make the contradiction public.
The ministers of the cabinet, adhering to Li Zhongyi's will, drafted an edict to the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was a minister in the north.
In the edict, the opening clearly stated that the filial piety of the ministers as the father of the ministers, especially explained the importance of the enthronement ceremony of the king's father, and the ministers must personally participate.
The edict was written by Kong Kun, and it was written with emotion, touching, and heartfelt, which made Li Zhongyi very satisfied.
"Hehe, send someone to Nantang." After Li Zhongyi ordered someone to use the seal, he returned the edict to the cabinet and sent it to the Southern Tang Dynasty in a hurry.
Li Yu, the descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty, definitely did not dare to come to Kaifeng in person to present a gift, which is a well-known reality.
However, what Li Zhongyi was waiting for was that Li Yu didn't dare to come. Renchen is very disrespectful to the monarch's father, hehe, it happens to be the best excuse to send a large army to crusade against him.
To put it bluntly, what Li Zhongyi wants is just an open and honest excuse, whether Li Yu comes or not, the army of the Qiang Han Dynasty will go south.
On the side of the General Staff Department, the operational strategy for attacking Western Shu and Northern Han was already in full swing.
According to Li Zhongyi's concept, the best order of reunification is to first go north and then west, and finally to go south.
After all, the Northern Han only had the territory of the thirteen states left, however, the Jinyang side was the only gap where the Khitans could go south.
Regardless of the direction from which the unification war is launched, priority must be given to plugging the gap in the southward movement of the Khitans.
In the last Northern Expedition, although the Li Jiajun took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. However, the Khitans only lost ground, and their total strength did not suffer a fatal blow.
Yelu Hugo obviously also understood Li Zhongyi's strategy, and in the past month, tens of thousands of iron cavalry have been reinforced in the direction of Jinyang.
Li Zhongyi led his troops to fight, or sent generals to go on battle, which had a distinctive characteristic: taking wealth and grain on the spot.
The so-called local wealth or grain is just an elegant statement, in a word: seize the enemy's people's wealth, enrich the supply of our army!
Therefore, after so many wars, the Li Jiajun was not only not dragged down by logistics, but became more and more rich.
In the last Northern Expedition, the old nest of the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion was wiped out, and millions of stones were harvested for grain alone.
In addition, after stealing Youzhou, Li Jiajun's harvest was even greater.
After having a rich family background, even if Li Zhongyi immediately sent troops to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, he did not need to raise grain and grass from the Central Plains.
After Li Zhongyi became the master of the house, the land restriction order and the tax tax order promulgated by Li Zhongyi were equivalent to two sharp blades, which were inserted into the hearts of local tyrants and magnates.
Limiting land is the basis for equalizing the wealth and the poor. The essence of the broad tax is still equal wealth, that is, both the gentry and the grass people must pay taxes!
When the Ming Dynasty was dying, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to borrow money from his ministers, but as a result, the money he borrowed was enough to make people die of shame!
When the thieves entered the city of Beijing, they plundered tens of millions of taels of silver from the minister's house, how ironic?
Taking away people's wealth is ten times more hateful than killing parents!
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's shrewdness and the incomparably hard handle of the knife he was holding, the entire Qianghan Dynasty would have risen up everywhere.
After all, the potential of the north is limited, and the most suitable means of extracting wealth and food has always been to wage colonial wars against foreign countries.
In the northeastern kingdom of Goryeo, the latitude is too high, and the harvest of grain is only one season a year. Roughly similar to the Goryeo Kingdom, the grain of the Wa Kingdom was also cooked once a year.
In the south, which everyone is not familiar with, Li Zhongyi knows that there are vast grain producing areas with three or even four crops a year, such as Annam, Laos, Siam, Luo Hu, Zhenla and other countries.
In addition, Li Zhongyi, who is accustomed to wearing cotton products, is the only one who understands that in the treasure land of Hainan Island, it is likely that the technology of spinning cotton has appeared.
As the pace of the unification war approached, in order to alleviate the contradictions with the gentry class, Li Zhongyi came forward through Huang Jingsheng, and in the name of the enthronement ceremony, invited domestic wealthy businessmen and famous families, and invited them to gather in Kaifeng City to discuss overseas trade.
In fact, there is a template for overseas trade that can be used as a reference, that is, the Dutch East India Company model.
Everyone participates in the shares fairly, and the income obtained is strictly in accordance with the dividends of the shares.
Of course, when free trade was blocked by foreign governments, it became logical to organize a crusade to go to sea.
According to Li Zhongyi's colonial concept, it was natural to use the country's advantageous items, such as silk, porcelain, and tea, to trade with Southeast Asian countries by sea.
However, once the trade surplus of the Qiang Han Dynasty was too large, it would definitely have irreconcilable conflicts of interest with the local magnates.
When the contradictions between the interests of countries are so deep that they cannot be resolved, it is natural to consider the issue of conquest by force!
