Chapter Fifty-Nine: Hundreds of Officials Oppose
Now in charge of Shangshu Province is the generation of virtuous minister Song Jing, who is called "Yao Song" with Yao Chong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Jing held the integrity of the world, was honest and upright, and under his leadership, the court officials were prosperous, and the civil and military atmosphere of the Manchu Dynasty had been greatly changed.
The so-called upward and downward effect, what kind of prime minister, what kind of officials.
Song Jing has taken a good start, and the atmosphere of the entire court is becoming more and more pure, and most of them are capable officials with capable styles.
All the articles of association run very fast, and there will be no delay in case of trouble.
Pei Min's recital was transmitted to Song Jing's hands through Shangshu Province for the first time, looking at the content of the recital, the first minister of the dynasty, his face changed instantly, and there was only one thought in his mind: How dare he?
Open Longshan and repair Wusheling Mountain!
Hundreds of ministers who ruled the world had thought about this idea, but those who knew the situation and the inside story did not dare to say half a word.
How dare Pei Min?
Song Jing changed his face, did not dare to have any slackness, put this seal in the most important position, sent it to the palace, and placed it on the imperial case of the Taiji Hall by the inner servant, only to be discussed by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in the morning tomorrow.
The stakes are so high that it cannot be decided by one person or another.
Song Jing stayed awake all night, pondering the things recorded in Pei Min's recital, and flipped through the information books for almost the whole night. Understand the trade routes of the Western Regions, understand Longyou, and understand Longshan and Wusheling.
Until the early dynasty came, the elderly Song Jing directly participated in the court meeting with dark circles under his eyes.
"Something's up!"
With a shout from Gao Lishi, none of the martial arts in the hall came out of class.
For example, today it has long been stable, Datang's economy is thriving, its national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and its military has also swept away its previous weakness and is invincible. A few days ago, there was a great drought in the world. In the face of such a test, Datang also withstood it.
Except for the hard-hit Longyou, there is almost no disaster in the world.
Even Longyou, with the support of the imperial court, through the efforts of Pei Min and a group of officials, no hungry people appeared.
Honesty is the scene of prosperity.
This civil and military official, each doing his duty, did not have any major incident.
Li Long is basically an emperor who can enjoy it very much, and he is also happy to be leisurely.
According to the usual practice, Li Longji could announce his retirement from the dynasty as long as he dealt with a few important pieces of the imperial case.
The first piece he took was from Pei Min of Longyou.
Li Longji had a deep impression of Pei Min's italic calligraphy, but after reading the first few words, he knew that this piece came to Pei Min on the right side of Long.
After mentioning the spirit, Li Longji took a serious look: The situation faced by General Longyou in the chapter showed in detail that Longyou is a barren desert in the north, Bashu mountains and rivers in the south, Longshan in the east, and Wusheling in the west. It was not until the end that he explained his intention and implored the imperial court to approve and open Longshan to repair Wusheling Ridge.
Seeing the words of Kailong Mountain's repair of Wusheling Mountain, Li Longji's hand with the chapter couldn't help but tremble, and he almost couldn't hold the small chapter, his eyes were full of shock and doubt, and he calmed down, and then said: "This is the chapter sent by the envoy of the right section of Longyi and the envoy according to the inspection. At the request of the people, he vigorously opened Longshan and repaired the Wusheling ......"
Before he finished speaking, there was already a lot of discussion in the court.
"No, Pei Guogong's move is a big deal!"
The first to stand up and oppose it was Wang Ju, the head of the household department who was in charge of money and grain.
Wang Ju has been very close to Pei Min recently, especially the development of Yantian in Moliyi.
Pei Min gave great support, and the first batch of salt has been mined, waiting to be sold to Longyou, Chang'an, Liangzhou and other places.
They are like honeymoon couples.
But Pei Min proposed to open Longshan Mountain and repair Wusheling Ridge, and Wang Ju, the money bag of the Tang Dynasty, immediately turned his face.
The salt pans of Moliyi are important, but where can they compare with the profits brought by the Silk Road?
The construction of the Wusheling Ridge in the Kailong Mountain, once implemented, means that the middle section of the trade road will be impassable until it is completed. It took nearly a month more for the caravan to travel between the east and the west to reach Chang'an. The impact on the economy is self-evident.
The difficulty of opening Longshan Mountain, the difficulty of repairing Wusheling Ridge, there is no six, seven or eight years, how can it be done?
This midline has been blocked for many years, how much impact does it add up?
Everyone has selfish intentions, and Wang Ju is the same, the household department is the highest status department among the six departments, and when he is an official, he is already on the verge of becoming the prime minister.
As long as nothing happens, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the face of a country.
As the steward of Datang, Wang Ju knows better than anyone the economic effects of the Silk Road on Datang.
As soon as the Silk Road is in trouble, with Li Longji's lavish spending habits, the imperial court's economy will immediately run into deficit.
As the head of the household, once the treasury is empty, he can't make ends meet. It means that he Wang Ju is unqualified, which affects his career promotion.
He didn't want to see this in any case.
"Longshan Mountain is thousands of feet above sea level, with steep twists and turns, and steep mountains. The stones in the mountains are mostly granite and basalt, with a hard texture and difficult to hurt by knives and guns. If you really want to open Longshan, I don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent, and how much time will be spent. If it is elsewhere, with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, the minister believes that with Pei Guogong's ability, he can indeed force Longshan to open. At most, it will take some time. However, Longshan is located in the eastern section of the Western Regions Trade Road, and once it falls into the state of opening mountains and building roads, it means that the caravan has no other way. For me, Datang has all kinds of harm but no benefit. ”
Wang Ju's words were convincing, and his face was red with excitement.
Ziwei Shilang and Ziwei Huangmen Pingzhang Su also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Guogong's matter is too rash. Considering from the starting point, Guogong is indeed for the people of Longyou. There is no doubt that Longshan and Wusheling have affected the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Longyou. But the trade route of Longshan and Wusheling is more related to the economy of our Datang and the development of the whole world. As soon as Longshan and Wusheling moved, it was not only Longyou that was affected, and this matter could not be acted up to cautiously. Once the trade routes in the Western Regions are affected, the economy of our Datang will be hit hard. Especially now that the circulation of bad money is too strong, we intend to confiscate private money from the people and melt it into money to benefit the world...... At this critical juncture, the economy is more tolerant of any mistakes. ”
Li Longji was silent.
Lu Huaishen, the prime minister of the accompanying food, has always been at odds with Pei Min, and some of them will give him eye medicine, and at this moment is no exception, the righteous words strode out of the class and said: "Your Majesty! The so-called young and vigorous, I don't know the severity, nothing more than this. Guogong is dedicated to the people of Longyou, which is commendable. But...... Don't you hear that harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, and conscription is better than a wolf? It is understandable that the prince of the country has great ambitions and intends to do something vigorous and vigorous, which will go down in history. But I don't know that such an abuse of people's power is really following the road of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in the past, defeating the country and the people, and causing endless disasters. ”
As soon as he said this, it could not be said that he was not unreprimanded.
directly regarded Pei Min's proposal as pushing Datang to the state of death for the sake of his own fame.
Since the three of them, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have also frequently expressed their views, without exception, all for the sake of the overall situation, resolutely opposing the opening of Longshan and the repair of Wusheling Ridge.
