Hanyuan Hall.

Li Jing often frowned, stroked his short beard under his chin, sat or standed, and finally recited the words, and Huang Hao on the side had to grind and listen to him frequently, so as to record Li Jing's famous sayings and aphorisms at any time.

Li Jingchou, sad on a rainy day, is because "the young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, falls in love with the floor, and says sorrow for the new word", on a sunny day, he is also worried, that is because "a relaxed and bright sunny day, a few words have not been heard in ancient times." These brisk words, turning over and over, are just those few ways to write, he wants to bring forth the new, can he not chant a word and twist a few whiskers? As for state affairs, Feng Yansi, Zhou Zong and others naturally share them, but he doesn't have to worry too much.

Li Jing brewed for a long time, but he didn't come up with a new thing, he leaned on the dragon seat with half-squinted eyes, so that people couldn't see that this person was pretending to sleep, take a break and think about it; Or just think of verses to cultivate sleepiness. The door curtain was lightly raised, and a little yellow door tiptoed to the side of the great eunuch Huang Hao, and whispered a few words. Huang Hao waved his hand and let the man go down, and he quietly walked over and said softly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty. ”

"Yes..." Li Jing opened his eyes and asked reluctantly, "Huang Hao, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Feng Xiangye asks to see you."

"Oh." Li Jing sat up straight, shook his head from side to side, and pressed his hand on his temples once or twice before he said, "Announce him in." ”

Huang Hao waved his hand, and the little yellow door standing at the door hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, and after a while, a sound of footsteps came, "Minister Feng Yansi, knock on my majesty." ”

"Get up, Huang Hao, give me a seat."

"Yes, thank you." Feng Yansi stood up and sat down with a pinch. Quietly waiting for Li Jing to ask. Although Li Jing doesn't like to take care of things, he especially likes the feeling that I have in the world, and he often asks automatically.

"Feng Aiqing, is there anything you want to report to me today?" Li Jing asked slowly.

"Zhangzhou (near Zhangzhou, Fujian) stayed behind and left to beg for surrender, Your Majesty, since the year before last our army entered Fujian, which lasted two years, and finally broke through Jianzhou and Tingzhou, and subdued Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places, the land of five states in central Fujian, our army has captured four states. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time to expand the territory. Feng Yansi said with a happy face.

"Really? Hehe, that's really gratifying, and when I personally write a poem, you can frame it and reward it to the soldiers fighting on the front line. Well, by the way, remember to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and I will personally go to the Taimiao Temple to worship and comfort my ancestors. Li Jing said happily that the matter in Fujian had annoyed him for two years, and today it was finally completely resolved. As for the matter in Fuzhou, he automatically ignored it. Li Tang's conquest of Fujian, which lasted two years and cost countless amounts of money and grain, resulted in Fuzhou, the richest city in Fujian, but let Wu Yue give it to him, and he only captured Ting and Jianzhou, although Quanzhou and Zhangzhou surrendered, but whether they had the final say in the future is uncertain. If someone else had changed, Long Yan would have been furious, pulled Feng Yansi out of the palace gate, and beat him up, but Li Jing was still sighing that it was finally over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, the front-line sergeants will definitely be more courageous to kill the enemy. It's just that the overall situation of Fujian has been decided, and it is indispensable to reward the three armies. Feng Yansi said.

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "It's not easy for a sergeant to use his life, so let's reward it according to the practice of previous years." Feng Aiqing, what do you think? ”

Feng Yansi's heart sank, according to the usual practice? This Li Jing is cub is not distressed to buy Ye Tian. This officer can be rewarded with silver and silk, but when it comes to the sergeant, it must be calculated in copper coins. But now the price of copper coins has risen? If it is still customary, doesn't it raise the amount of the sergeant's reward? Although there is still a lot of silver in the treasury, Feng Yansi is also a little reluctant. He is a person who wants to do great things, and this money is spent in such a mess, will he have to fight in the future according to the standards of this time?

Seeing Feng Yansi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Jing asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

"Your Majesty, you must also know that the current price of our copper coin is rising, and if we reward it according to the custom, the treasury will have to have an extra amount of silver." Feng Yansi said hesitantly.

"Oh, it's okay, let's make it clear to the sergeants, by the way, what is this Zhao Pu doing now? A while ago, didn't Han Xizai suggest that the affairs of the merchants of the Chu State should be thoroughly investigated? How's your check? ”

The supreme leader's leaping thinking made Feng Yansi stunned, a while ago, Han Xizai did make a concert, asking for a thorough investigation of the flow of copper coins, and faintly suspected that it was Chu State's hands and feet in secret. At that time, Feng Yansi originally wanted to watch from the wall and let Han Xi take them toss, but his younger brother Feng Yanlu persuaded him: This is a good opportunity, and trading with Chu is Zhou Zong's attention, if the rise in copper prices is really done by Chu State, we will follow the vine and knock Zhou Zong down one by one. So, Feng Yansi took the initiative to take it, but after some inspection, he realized that he had been fooled, this thing could not be checked at all, there were many merchants in the first Chu State, and he checked a few, but the results were all law-abiding, and he didn't see them privately bring copper coins, second, after these merchants came, they didn't sell the goods directly to the people of Li Tang, they were often sold to local businesses, these powerful businesses, there was no background behind them, there was no backstage, and they checked and checked twice and found their own heads. After learning a lesson, Feng Yansi set his sights on Li Zhao, a big businessman in the Chu State, but Li Zhao bought materials with silver, and when he sold materials, he really liked to collect copper coins, but these copper coins were sent to shops in various places to make the right copper coins. This Li Zhao, there are too many small shops in the local area, and it is not clear to find out, besides, Li Zhao has the official background of the Chu State, and he was forced to be ruthless, maybe the Chu State will send people over to protest. The expansion of the territory is now inseparable from the support of the Chu State.

Feng Yansi thought for a moment and said, "It's normal for Tang Chu to have business dealings with each other. Zhou Zong, Lord Zhou, they are in charge of the household department, and they must be quite familiar with these things. The minister has been visiting for a long time, but there is no evidence, although he does not dare to categorically deny this matter, but presumably the opportunity for the merchants of Chu State to do their tricks is not great. As for anything else? The minister did not dare to speak falsely. ”

Li Jing frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it." Don't spit it out. ”

"The minister thinks, he doesn't use copper coins in this Chu country, so what's the use of collecting copper coins?" Seeing Li Jing nodded, Feng Yansi said: "So, Chen thought, it is likely that it was collected by domestic businessmen, but what is this for?" ”

Li Jing didn't know why, and urged: "Don't sell it, just talk about it if you have something to say." ”

"Your Majesty, you also know that there is a private minting of copper coins among the people, why is it not very popular, but it is because the cost of minting copper coins is high, and the profit after minting is small. However, if we make a lot of money, it will be different, the same cost will not change, but the price of this copper coin will increase tenfold, isn't this profitable? ”

Li Jing blinked his eyes and said in wonder, "Haven't we decided to make a lot of money yet?" Could it be that these businessmen are clever enough to calculate that we will make a lot of money? ”

"This... The minister does not know. These businessmen are only interested in profit, and I am afraid that the information is also very well-informed. Feng Yansi quietly sued Diao.

"Oh." Li Jing pondered, could it be Zhou Zong, it can't be.

"Feng Aiqing, according to your opinion, how should I, Datang, get through this current difficulty?"

"Your Majesty, when I heard a sentence yesterday, I felt that it made sense: use the sword of the Tang Dynasty to cut out the road to the survival of the Tang Dynasty." Feng Yansi said in a low voice.

Li Jing sighed and said: "Feng Aiqing, are you confused, we just returned from defeat in Huaibei, tens of thousands of children were captured, and now the state affairs are not as stable as in the previous two years, if we still send troops, will we fall into the quagmire again?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that whether or not the troops can win depends not only on our army, but on the other side, and it must be inappropriate for us to rashly attack against the Central Plains Dynasty without careful preparation. But if you want to deal with a small country like Lingnan, you think that you can get your hands on it. What's more, we still have reinforcements for attacking Lingnan? ”

"Who will help our army, don't you mean the state of Chu? The widow heard that Zhou Zong said in the morning, Chu is also in a difficult situation now, and the first thing Zhao Pu did when he came was to do what the Great Chu Merchants Association, hoping that our businessmen from the Tang Dynasty could go to Chu to do material exchanges. The state of Chu is like this, it is estimated that he is powerless. Even if he wants to annex Lingnan, he probably doesn't have that strength. ”

"Your Majesty, is the army of Chu elite?" Feng Yansi asked.

"The state of Chu can easily capture the envoy of Weisheng Jiedu, even if it occupies the sky, I am afraid that the army is also quite good at fighting. Where did Feng Aiqing say this? ”

"Since the Chu army is good at fighting, then he has no military concerns when he sends troops to Lingnan, and he should be concerned about money and food. If they had money and food, would the Chu army go south? Feng Yansi said.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said angrily: "Feng Aiqing's meaning, I understand, you want us to borrow some more money and grain from the Tang Dynasty to the Chu State." However, what if Chu State doesn't pay it back? Ma Yun's kid, I don't look authentic, I get rid of a scoundrel. How can you believe it? Besides, when Wei Cen sent an envoy to Great Chu the year before last, wasn't he already on good terms with the Chu State? With Linheshui (Hejiang) and Yujiang (now Zhujiang) as the boundary, Fengzhou, Duanzhou, Kangzhou, Xingwangfu, Chaozhou, Shaozhou, Xunzhou, Zhenzhou, Yingzhou and other places are all our Datang? This is already written in black and white, and it is clearly written, can they still play tricks again? ”

Under Li Jing's forced gaze, Feng Yansi stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, they don't dare to repay the debt, but Zhao Pu said that without money and food, they can only postpone sending troops... When there is military rations in the south... ”

Li Jing was stunned, people were floating in the rivers and lakes, how could they not be stabbed. Five months ago, I just played a hand and sent troops late, and now retribution is coming to the door. This Chu country, is also going to play this hand?
