"Jasper is made up of a tree high, and ten thousand green silk threads hang down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. "He Zhizhang.

The spring breeze in February blew the wicker, blew the waists of the girls, and this time, it blew the money bags of hundreds of people in Chang'an. A large amount of perforated money and white money, like a sudden spring breeze, flooded in Chang'an City. Prices are skyrocketing, making people miserable.

Through the flow of funds and materials, the three wealthy friends of Chang'an soon found out that it was the Chamber of Commerce from Jiangnan that trafficked a large amount of bad money to Chang'an to obtain huge profits, and its backstage was Qi Dagui, a wealthy man in Jiangnan.

"Cargo all over the world! Look at the name of this chamber of commerce, it is much more majestic than the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. In the room of the Wang family, he smiled bitterly and said with emotion.

"Three years ago, it was just an inconspicuous Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and later Qi Dagui dedicated his two daughters to Yang Guozhong, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was also renamed the Cargo World Chamber of Commerce. Phew! Guo Wanjin took a sip of "phew" angrily, and obviously looked down on the rich man Qi Dagui in Jiangnan.

"People have a big backing, the name of the chamber of commerce is naturally more majestic than ours, and they are naturally unscrupulous, so they dare to do such a short-lived way to make a fortune." Although Yang Chongyi was extremely angry, he seemed helpless.

"Before the Chamber of Commerce of the World used evil money in Chang'an, there was bad money in Mrs. Qin's house. I don't think it's that simple. Qi Dagui, a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River, may not have such courage and such a big hand. Behind the World Chamber of Commerce, there is probably the shadow of the powerful Yang Yushi Yang. ”

Lu had a solemn face and said his judgment.

"Then tell me, why did that Yang Yushi Lord Yang act like this?" Wang Yuanbao had a faint smile on his fat face, looking at his beloved son-in-law.

"Chen Xilie, the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, has a weak personality, and all political affairs depend on the right minister, Li Linfu and Li. His Majesty the Sage Xuanzong was dissatisfied with this and intended to change it. There are only two candidates who can replace Chen Xilie in the position of left minister. One is the head of the household who wears dozens of positions, King King Jingzhao Yin, and the other is Yang Guozhong, who is the middle of the imperial history.

It's just that Lord Wang is good at internal affairs, good at financial management, and takes care of the treasury of the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, and is extremely rich. At this point, Yang Guozhong is far from being able to compare. In front of me, Datang has suffered defeats in foreign battles, and the treasury is tight. When Yang Guozhong saw the opportunity, he came up with such a way to make a lot of money and relieve the tense treasury. Show His Majesty the Sage his ability to manage money, and add to the position of Prime Minister. ”

When I passed by, I knew that the old fox was taking the school by himself, and he was not modest, so he talked directly.

"Killing chickens and taking eggs, drying up and fishing, what kind of ability is this!" Guo Wanjin looked disdainful, and said two idioms rarely.

"Regardless of whether he kills chickens and takes eggs, dries up and fishes, countless bright oranges and oranges are placed in front of the saint, this is his ability. What the final outcome of this matter will be determined by His Majesty the Sage. I'll wait and see. ”

Wang Yuanbao thought clearly and seemed very calm.

"Father-in-law! No one in Chang'an City knows that the king is in the court, and he has always been the prime minister Li Linfu and Li Daren. His Majesty the Sage originally intended that someone could share the power of Lord Li in the position of the left minister, but he would not let the king sit in the position of the left minister and let Lord Li cover the sky with one hand. In this matter, His Majesty the Sage is only afraid that he will be partial to that Yang Guozhong. ”

I glanced at my old father-in-law worriedly, for fear that he didn't think it through and there was something wrong.

"Huh!" Wang Yuanbao smiled indifferently: "You also underestimate us old guys, can you think of this section, we can't think of it?" I'm waiting to wait and see what happens to Prime Minister Li Linfu and Master Li. Thinking of me as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, others are often only in this position for two or three years, and then they go down. But this Master Li Linfu Li has been sitting firmly in the position of prime minister for 19 years, standing tall, how can it be so simple.

O young man! To be a man and to act, you have to learn

The meeting will not be chaotic and wait and see what happens, so that you will not make mistakes. ”

was reprimanded by the old fox again, and pinched his nose and recognized it. These old guys who can accumulate wealth to the top are not so simple. I am still too young, I still have a lot to learn, and I have a long way to go.

"Brother Lu! The evil businessman Qi Dagui in the south of the Yangtze River lives in a separate garden under Zhongnan Mountain. The beggar gang disciples I sent to investigate were heard from as soon as they got there, and there were no bones left. Damn, it's become a tiger's den in Longtan. No, I want to go and investigate for myself and see how my beggar disciples disappeared. ”

In the study where he passed, Guo Yan was indignant. In anger, he knocked out a corner of the bookcase that had passed away with one palm.

"Yo!" Lu Lu looked at Guo Yan with a mocking face: "Your dragon descending palm is getting more and more powerful." It's just that no matter how high your kung fu is, can you resist the powerful crossbow shooting in the army? How did the evil beggar Chen Pipi in Dongcheng die in the first place, and he forgot it so quickly. ”

"Now, what are we going to do?" Guo Yan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and looked at the road a little unwillingly.

"Now this matter is no longer something that you people can participate in. Withdraw all the people, do what you need to do, and do what you want to do. Wait, wait for this state of affairs to change. ”

I looked in the direction of Pingkangfang, thinking that Chang'an City was in a mess, and Uncle Shi and his old man would not notice it, so there should be some action.

"All the evil money circulating in the Chang'an market will be exchanged for it at the official office for a period of one month, and those who do not send it to the official office for exchange will be punished as a crime." The prime minister's ban appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City overnight, and the city was in an uproar.

Five white coins filled with lead and tin, in exchange for a good money in the official office. Twelve perforated copper coins in exchange for ten good coins. The businessmen and the people were full of affection and scolding.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was unmoved, and directly dispatched the Jinwuwei directly under the Nanya, and surrounded the annex where Qi Dagui, a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River, lived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

In the imperial study room of Huaqing Palace, the sage Xuanzong stroked the hair of the snow-white royal cat with one hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and conceived a new piano song. Yang Guifei Yuhuan was wearing a neon feather coat and danced, showing her beauty to this high emperor.

"Humph!" Xuanzong secretly snorted coldly in his heart: "I just want to send troops to teach the small country of Nanzhao Puer, and play the national and military prestige of my Tang Dynasty." Good you Li Linfu, good you king, you actually gave me a sentence that the treasury has no money, so I have nothing to do.

Didn't your king reduce the annual offering of Daming Palace, and really thought that this would choke my neck? The concubine's neon feather coat is worth millions of copper coins. With a wave of my hand, the flowers fluttered out. I am the Son of Heaven, how can I live with a man with only a lot of money, hahahaha! ”

When Xuanzong thought of this, he was extremely proud and laughed silently.

"Your Majesty the Saint, Your Majesty the Saint! The big thing is not good, the treacherous minister Li Linfu was bold and reckless, and without passing the sage's ruling, he announced a ban on money in Chang'an City. provoked the people of Chang'an to scold the court. Now he even sent Jin Wuwei, the forbidden army of Nanya, to surround the residence of Qi Dagui, a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan who made great contributions this time, and wanted to take him into custody and punish him. You see, he still has your Majesty the Saint in his eyes! ”

Yang Guozhong shouted loudly, rushed into the imperial study, and kowtowed repeatedly in front of Xuanzong.

"Okay, you Li Linfu! Is it really just an ornament for me, the Son of Heaven? Come on, send the Yulin Army to me, I see, who dares to take away my hero Qi Dagui. ”

Xuanzong was afraid of the imperial case, so he stood up angrily.

Xuanwu Gate, the garrison of the British army in the north of the forbidden army. I sat in my big tent and sighed again and again.

"Uncle, uncle, your style of acting is still so vigorous. It's just that the people who don't know what to do in the city will scold you to the blood, is it worth it? Now that he is tearing his face with Yang Guozhong again, the days of this court are going to become lively. But

, I admire your courage very much. ”

"Brother, brother! I left and right the entire British army to reorganize and distribute, and it seems that it is about to be rehearsed. Cheng Changmu rushed into the big tent.

I was taken aback when I got up, and I always felt that something bad was about to happen. Hurry up and order the officers and men of the logistics baggage battalion to make all preparations.

"Your Majesty, Sage! The forbidden army belongs to the south ya, and the whole army is on alert. The two armies of the Northern Ya are also ready to go. Look at this Yulin army, do you still want to send it out. ”

In the imperial study, Gao Lishi's voice was neither yin nor yang, which made Xuanzong's body tremble slightly. With a pale face, he slapped the royal case fiercely, but finally sat back on the imperial chair and waved his hand weakly.

"Let Yulin Jun not act rashly, then Qi Dagui deserves it, let the prime minister arrest him and punish him."

I passed the big tent at the Xuanwu Gate station, and I was nervous for a whole day. In the end, he was instructed, everything went on as usual, and the soldiers returned to the camp.

At night, the three-year-old appeared directly in the barracks and took him to Li Linfu's study.

At this time, Li Linfu's demeanor was sluggish, as if he had aged a lot, and his heart was sour when he saw the way, and he didn't dare to say much.

"Today, my son Li Xiu bowed down to me and cried." The adults have been in the phase for a long time, and they have made many enemies, so that the future is full of thorns. Once disaster strikes, the end is unpredictable. "But to this day, I can only take half a step back."

Li Linfu sighed, his expression a little desolate.

"Uncle Shi! What happened to the forbidden army today? I couldn't help it, so I asked.

"This matter of minting white money shakes the foundation of my Tang Kingdom. This matter must not be tolerated. For the sake of Qi Dagui, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, his majesty actually planned to dispatch the Yulin Army to defend him, forcing me to show my sword. It's just that as soon as this sword shines, I am destined to have no good end in the future. As long as you don't plan to rebel and fight against it, you will eventually lose. ”

Li Linfu's expression was gloomy and a little disheartened.

"To arrest a bad businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, the sage actually plans to dispatch the Yulin Army to maintain it?" The road opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Who do you think is the culprit of the flood of bad money in Chang'an, is it the evil businessman Qi Dagui in Jiangnan? Wrong, the one who ordered Qi Dagui to mint white money, exchange one for five, and traffick it to Chang'an to obtain huge profits is none other than my Majesty the sage of the Tang Dynasty.

Our courtiers, on the grounds that the treasury was short of money, dispelled the idea of His Majesty the Sage entering the Nanzhao again. The king is even less than the annual offering of eight billion copper coins in Daming Palace. How do you know that our sage Your Majesty, through Yang Guozhong's order to Qi Dagui to mint white money, and then ordered Yousi to exchange billions of silk and treasury money for bad money, and transport it into Chang'an, the bad money in the market is flooded, and he obtains huge profits.

I issued a ban on the flood of evil money in Chang'an, and ordered Jin Wuwei to arrest that Qi Dagui and punish him, so that his majesty the saint would be cut off from his wealth, how could he not be like thunder. ”

Li Linfu kept shaking his head, looking very helpless.

His jaw almost closed in surprise, and he had nothing to say to His Majesty such a saint. looked at Li Linfu in a daze, and his tone was very dry.

"And then?"

"As soon as I flashed my sword, His Majesty the Sage finally retracted, and the matter was debated in the court. King Hube Shangshu stood up and said expressionlessly:

"The copper coins made by my Datang Dynasty account for eighty percent of four, white ash accounts for one percent of four, and lead and tin are zero percent of two. This small money-making rule represents the foundation of the founding of our Datang country, and the private minting of evil money destroys the integrity of the Datang country, and it must not be tolerated. ”

His Majesty the Sage had no choice but to agree to us to prohibit evil money, confiscate the family property of the evil businessman Qi Dagui, and distribute it to Lingnan. However, the piercing money will continue to be used in the future.

This time, both sides took a step back. Our side seems to have won a small victory, but it has exposed its strength, but it can be regarded as a defeat. ”

Li Linfu looked at the dark night sky, and his heart was anxious.
