12. Maritime aid and management of Guangzhou
The other three prime ministers thought about it, and felt that Gao Yue's plan should be acceptable, for Lu Zhen, what he was most disgusted with was that the emperor Xuansuo and Jiedu envoys entered the service, corrupting the national treasury, and now Lingnan's annual 500,000 yuan of worship was retained by Du You for counterinsurgency military expenses, which belonged to official expenses, and he would not have an opinion; For Du Huangsheng, Du You's successful counterinsurgency reflects the correctness of his pre-war decision-making, if Du You's war is unfavorable, well, it has nothing to do with him, anyway, he doesn't have to be responsible.
Jia Tan has nothing to do with himself.
In short, Gao Yue took on this responsibility.
At this time, Gao Yue spoke again, "If there is no objection, I will announce it tomorrow and set it down on Yanying's question." ”
In fact, Gao Yue knew in his heart that the law of the prime minister system was like this
If you encounter such a wise and martial emperor as Tang Taizong, there may be a group system, that is, there are many heroes such as Tongping Zhangshi, Governor and Political Affairs, and Advance Affairs.
If you encounter a weak and mediocre emperor, or an emperor who does not want to make progress, such as Emperor Xuanzong in his later years, once he is slack on government affairs and relies on the prime minister to deal with everything, there will inevitably be an expansion of the prime minister's power, and then the chief prime minister is arbitrary and arbitrary, and other prime ministers are just accompanying the scene, such as Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong.
Of course, most emperors are mortals, not much excellent, but not much incompetent, such as deleting) The prime minister's team may be three or four people for a long time, but the balance of power of these people cannot be maintained for a long time, there is always one of them, because he is bold, speaks well, and can coordinate the relationship between various departments, of course, the most rare is that he is extremely trusted by the emperor, and will stand out and "stand alone", and the others will become auxiliary or even reserve roles, but this kind of prime minister is still different from Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. Most of them can get along with the monarch and handle national affairs very well, such as Tang Xianzong, Du Huangsheng and Pei Du in this plane, and Tang Wuzong and Li Deyu.
The current emperor Li Shi can't reach the realm of Taizong at all, so it is impossible to reproduce the scene of the gathering of the group, it can only be the second or third scene, for me Gao Yue, I am so upright and conductive, and naturally take the third path, which is the most realistic.
Immediately Gao Yue said that although the imperial court did not send guest troops, it should still have some support for the Lingnan side, and after the two taxes were collected this year, 300,000 stone rice, 100,000 pieces of cloth and silk, plus 1,500 divine thunder guns, 20 tiger cannons, two large bronze cannons, and corresponding projectiles and thunder medicines were sent to Panyu, Guangzhou.
"How?" Jia Tan questioned.
Now it is too difficult to go to Lingnan by land, and the waterway Lingqu has long been deserted, it is feasible to take the sea route, but the sea area of our Tang Dynasty has long been blocked by Heshuo and Ziqing, and it is also possible to go to sea by taking the Yangtze River, but the section of the river between Eyue and Xuanrun has also been cut off by raging river thieves.
"It doesn't matter, Xuanshe, western Zhejiang, and eastern Zhejiang have a lot of grain cloth reserves, and the materials to support Guangzhou are concentrated in Yangzhou Port to go to sea, as for the creation of the divine thunder gun and the refining of the divine thunder medicine, it is concentrated in Xingyuan Lizhou, Chenggu, Yinzhou Lujia, and Gyeongju Dachangyuan, which are operated by the artillery bureau, and after the number is complete, they gather in Beijing, and send from the Dongweiqiao Transfer Institute to the road against the Cao Yun Road to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the hub of Caoyun Bianshui, Huaishui), Yangtze River) and shipping, artillery and ammunition converge after that, the same sails to the sea, through Mingzhou and Fujian in eastern Zhejiang, and then arrive at Guangzhou. ”
At this time, the three prime ministers nodded, it seems that this problem is quite chaotic, and it is basically handled in this way.
Immediately after that, it was a peace negotiation with Xifan, and Gao Yue's plan was not the slightest different from when he discussed with the emperor in the Zichen Palace, just follow the procedure.
Now that Helong has been restored, and the Anxi court has also reconnected with the Jingshi, there is no need to continue to fight with Xifan for the time being, and the focus should be shifted to the camps, garrisons, and governance of the newly recovered areas.
In this regard, Gao Yue said, our Tangjianghuai, southeast is rich in products, grain cloth is innumerable, the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas alone produce 6 million stone of grain every year, but when the imperial court levies two taxes, it likes to convert the materials into money and silk or other kinds of "light goods" and send them to the treasury or inner treasury, and most of the rice is left in the local states and counties for storage, resulting in a "money shortage" and harming the interests of farmers and businessmen; As for the Helong area, what is most lacking now is not money, but materials, and it is useless to use money to buy cloth and rice, after all, money cannot satisfy hunger, let alone protect against the cold). The two sides weighed each other, and it was advisable for the imperial court to pay taxes in the southeast region after that, half of which was paid with money, and half with the goods such as cloth and rice grain, and then the imperial court transported the goods to Jingshi and then sent them to the Helong garrison.
In this way, the shortage of food and materials in Helong can be solved, and the shortage of money in the southeast can also be alleviated.
Finally, there is the infighting of Zelu's righteous army.
Gao Yue's attitude towards this is very resolute Zhaoyi Army, it is the military state of the imperial court, and the Shangdang where it is located is located in the throat between Hedong and Heshuo, and it is the heart of the whole country.
Lu Zhen and Du Huangshang agreed and put forward three specific opinions
"First of all, he resolutely rejected Yuanyi's previous request for the imperial court to set up separate military towns in Xing, Wei, and Cizhou, and sent Zhaoyi Wang Qianxiu, Hedong Li Ziliang, and Hezhong Hun Ying, and Shence a certain army in Jingdong Daying to jointly conquer;
Moreover, pardon the sins of Li Baozhen's son Li Mian in the Eastern Capital, and use him as a banner to recruit the soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army who were coerced by Yuanyi to cause chaos;
In the end, Yuanyi was stripped of all official positions and titles, and demanded that Chengde, Weibo and other Heshuo Fang towns not interfere with the counterinsurgency actions of the imperial court. ”
At this point, all the ministers agreed.
When asking the right question in Yanying Hall the next day, Zhongshu Shilang, Shangshu Shichu and the two subordinate Shilang directly told the emperor the solution to the three things in a package.
The emperor was both pleased and a little surprised by this.
This is the first time that the prime minister's team under the Zhongshu Sect has been so efficient.
It seems that the third year of high school is the third year of high school, which is extraordinary, not only can he unify his opinions, calm the political hall, and think about everything with me.
At this moment, the emperor was a little unwilling, so he groaned, and asked Gao Yue, the leader, "In the past, Qing went out to conquer Helong, and he used to make the accounting book for Helong's army, and if he conquered Zhouzhou soon, how would the accounting book be made?" ”
Who would have thought that Gao Yue replied to the emperor very seriously, "It is the responsibility of the three divisions to go out of the army, and Your Majesty does not need to ask the ministers, please ask the three divisions to judge the degree of Xiao Pei." ”
"But the previous Helong army accounting book, not Qing"
"Your Majesty, at that time, Chenyue was the envoy of the Xingyuan Festival, and he was the commander of the imperial camp and the military envoy, so he naturally had to present the draft of the accounting book first, but now he is conquering Zhaozhou, and the army is the Zhaoyi Army, the Fenghua Army and the Fengcheng Army.
"What, you, senior year of high school, you don't even accompany me to do meticulous and interesting work?" When the emperor thought of this, he couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.
