Chapter 986: Copper Stinks
After Li Zhongyi entered Dengzhou, he directly stayed in the Yamen of the Pinglu Jiedu Envoy, and he himself sat in the festival hall to drink tea and work, and the resettlement of the back house was taken care of by Zhu Niang.
The pen in Han Xianglan's hand has never stopped, but she always has to glance at Li Zhongyi from time to time, and then look at Ye Xiaolan opposite.
Unlike Han Xianglan, who only gave birth to a daughter, Ye Xiaolan, who already has a son under her knees, is many times more confident than before.
The so-called son is enough, at this time, Ye Xiaolan only had the man sitting in the center in her eyes, but she didn't take Han Xianglan in her eyes at all.
It's just that although Ye Xiaolan didn't go to see Han Xianglan, she always had a strange thing in her heart: Caijiao's mother, Zheng, why does she always go to a man's side?
Although Caijiao is pregnant again, it is a bit unruly to let the biological mother of the concubine live in a man's house.
Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan, a pair of enemies, have been helping Li Zhongyi to check the bottom file and write abridgements, playing the role of female secretary. However, in the back house of Lao Li's family, both of them had almost no right to speak.
Li Zhongyi has always attached great importance to the distinction between inside and outside, to put it simply, in addition to the alternative of Zhu Niang, like Han Xianglan and Ye Xiaolan, who have experienced a good family education and are familiar with government affairs, if they also have huge power in the inner courtyard, in the long run, they will definitely have demons.
Although Zhu Niang was also born in the Northwest wealthy family, but Zhu Niang also read the war books full of war and tactics, and practiced a good bow horse, but she knew very little about the classics.
Under the influence of the thick black history books, the civil servants who have read the classics of history badly, the bigger the officials, the more they will play conspiracy and tricks!
Because of this, in order to ensure the interests of their overall class, the Wenchen consciously divided the whole society into four classes that were seriously solidified, namely: Shi Nong and Shang Gong.
In fact, it is only a nominal class division. The economic strength of the merchants determined that they had seen more of the world than the peasants, and that they had more money to buy the support of officials.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, behind every powerful official, there were hidden clansmen or merchants who did business.
The logic is also very simple, merchants without the protection of officials are like wanderers, and can only be slaughtered by others.
On the other hand, how much of the official's seriousness is there? However, the official's home, just the daily expenses, is not a small amount.
Don't you need money to buy a horse? You don't need money to buy cattle? Ask the coachman for no money? Does it cost money to raise a beautiful concubine? Poor relatives who came to the house to fight the autumn breeze don't want money? Do you need money to support servants and maidservants?
Even if the officials don't go out at home, the expenses of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are not less.
As the saying goes, people are heroes, money is courage, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero!
The ministers deliberately belittled the merchants in their mouths and insulted the entire merchant class with "copper smell". In fact, if the officials do not cooperate with the business of the merchants, they can only wait to be poor.
Among the important ministers of the imperial court, which family is not a thousand acres of fertile land, more than 100 slaves, and a cloud of shops?
The ridiculous thing is that they are only allowed to secretly collude with businessmen to make ill-gotten gains, but Li Zhongyi is not allowed to rely on his excellent insight and extraordinary business acumen to make money with his real skills, which is too domineering, right?
What's even worse is that Wenchen Group consciously gave Li Zhongyi the notoriety of "copper stinking", and his sinister intentions are really outrageous!
In addition, the civil servants of the court, except for a few people such as Liu Jinshan, were not willing to come to Li Zhongyi even if they were desperate.
Li Zhongyi started with military merits, and he has always been at odds with the Wenchen group, in fact, for him, not only is it not a bad thing, but it is conducive to various reforms in the future.
In the world, what kind of wind is stronger?
In addition to the pillow wind and nepotism wind, there is actually a very powerful outlet, that is, the near-minister wind!
The most typical example is Brother Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao relied on the special favor of Qin Shi Huang and firmly grasped the power of internal and external information transportation.
Qin Shi Huang's bones were not cold, Zhao Gao used his power to block the news in the palace, and easily forced the prince Fusu and Meng Tian with heavy troops to death.
The current situation is that based on the reality of being completely rejected by the Wenchen group, the close ministers around Li Zhongyi are almost all military generals.
If Li Zhongyi is an ordinary person, he will definitely worry about a major event: even if he successfully conquers the world, can he still ride on a horse and sit in the world?
However, with the successful experience of military transformation after a thousand years, even if the Wenchen Group does not cooperate at all in the future, Li Zhongyi has nothing to worry about.
Li Zhongyi, who had both a martial arts hall and a military and political academy, just took the opportunity to start a new stove and sprinkle the transferred officers all over the yamen at all levels throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Zhongyi was busy for nearly two hours, and finally finished all the official and military affairs at hand before dinner.
Han Xianglan saw that the man stopped writing and picked up the teacup, she put down the pen, walked to the man's side lightly, squatted and saluted, and asked the man softly: "Master, the tea is already cold, right?" Slave poured it again for you? ”
Li Zhongyi glanced at Han Xianglan, who was obedient and abnormal, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his gaze swept over Xiao Xuan, who had been standing outside the gate of the festival hall, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Sui has always been used as a warm bed, at this moment, she should be more sad than the five cats scratching her heart, right?
After continuous contact at zero distance, Li Zhongyi basically concluded that Xiao Xuan, who was becoming more and more tame, had unusual ambitions. It's just that a good family education made Xiao Sui learn to hide his ambitions early.
However, Xiao Sui never dreamed that her old background had already been clearly understood by Li Zhongyi, and it could be said that she had fallen from the bottom.
No matter how Xiao Sui disguises herself, in Li Zhongyi's heart, she has actually been framed as a long-term bed companion.
Li Zhongyi was a typical Han nationalist, how could he allow a woman of different races, including her son, to finally grasp the supreme real power in the Central Plains?
In the same logical situation, there are also Caijiao and their three sisters. No matter how much Li Zhongyi loves Caijiao, even if she gives birth to a large number of sons in the future, however, her sons will never be able to take over the inheritance of the old Li family.
Li Zhongyi took Han Xianglan's little hand and said with a smile: "I drank too much tea, and my stomach was swollen in a panic, you go to change your clothes, and you will accompany me out to visit the market." ”
Han Xianglan couldn't help but frown, she never dreamed that the man would reward her with a big face in front of Ye Xiaolan.
It's just that Li Zhongyi drew a Zheng character on Han Xianglan's pink palm, which made her slightly disappointed.
