Chapter 1727: It's better to borrow than to give
Of course, Han Yi knew that this northwest matter was the main topic, and it was also a hot potato, if it was not handled well, it would cause big trouble, so he frowned slightly and said: "Regarding the northwest matter, it is a little difficult to do." β
Li Zhi sighed: "Actually, neither I nor Lu Dongzan want to fight anymore, so I didn't plan to let you negotiate with Lu Dongzan before, after all, you are far away in Goguryeo, and it is not easy to rush back and forth, I am in a hurry to call you back, mainly because of the northwest matter, because once the troops are withdrawn, there may be a chaotic situation in the northwest, as for the reason, you should know better than me, and you proposed the northwest plan, so you can only recall you back." β
"The minister understands, so the minister is thinking about this on the way here."
"Do you have a solution?"
Han Yidao: "Your Majesty, the deeds of the merchants in the northwest, the minister was also very moved when he heard it, and the court must not ignore them." β
Li Zhi said: "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to call you back." Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, "Could it be ...... Do you want the court to give them the money? β
"It's not going to work."
Han Yi shook his head decisively and said, "First, this can't be operated, who knows how much money they spent, if they do this, there will definitely be people fishing in troubled waters, and this account will never be settled." Even if the number of pens is calculated, I am afraid it will take several years, and the northwest will already be in chaos by then. Moreover, to put it ungratefully, they mainly protect their homeland, according to the Northwest Tax Law, how much tax to pay is determined by their own needs, this war broke out suddenly, the government has no money to deal with it, and they should also stand up. β
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then what do you say you should do?" β
Han Yi said: "The minister still adheres to the principle that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and lend them money." β
"Borrow money?"
Li Zhi couldn't help frowning, and said: "This is not good, they just donated a lot of money to help the imperial court tide over the difficulties, and this war has just ended, but the imperial court is only willing to lend them money, not to help them, which will make people feel that the imperial court is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." β
It seems morally unreasonable that the other party gives you money for free, and you in turn lend money to the other party.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a gratuitous loan, and giving them a three-year, or even five-year repayment period, lending the money to the merchant without interest is actually equivalent to giving them a sum of money, because this money can make money, and they can be said to be doing business without capital." In addition, the imperial court can also pay for their goods, invest in the northwest, build roads, bridges, build colleges, build workshops, and even plant trees. In this way, the businessmen have the money, the business, and the customers, then they have to find someone to do the work, and in that case, the Northwest will soon recover.
However, Weichen still does not approve of the direct entanglement of interests between the court and the people, if this is the case, if there is any contradiction, once it is not handled well, the contradiction is likely to intensify, but the gains outweigh the losses, therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty should inject funds by the state, and in the name of the gold bank, lend money to the people in the northwest to help them tide over the difficulties. β
Li Zhidao: "Then how much money do you think the imperial court has to come up with?" β
Han Yi said: "This will have to wait for Weichen to figure out the situation in the northwest before it can be determined, but Weichen estimates that it will at least need hundreds of thousands of yuan." β
Li Zhi nodded slightly, feeling that it was really worth it to exchange this money for the northwest border, and besides, Goguryeo had not paid yet, and this was a loan, not a give.
The two of them carefully discussed how to operate, because this matter is very urgent, and there is still a confrontation there, and if you are a day late, you may misfire, and then you will have to go to war again.
After discussing for a long time, Li Zhi made a decision and said, "Just do what you say, you can make full decisions, and you don't need to report to me." β
As the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, there is no suspicion in employing people, and in this city, he can only rely on Han Yi, if Han Yi is over there, everything has to be reported to him, and he doesn't understand very well, so he can't give any good advice. Second, this is also very troublesome, he doesn't want to have to discuss it with the cardinal minister at that time, for fear of causing twists and turns.
"Wechen obeys."
Han Yi arched his hand.
"I'm glad you're here, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." After Li Zhi talked to Han Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How is the situation on the Goguryeo side?" β
Han Yi said: "Now that most of Goguryeo and Baekje have settled down, and they are busy with spring ploughing, there are still many things, such as the transfer of officials, and βββ! β
Li Zhi didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "It's good to settle down, and the rest of the things will be talked about when you come back." β
In a sense, this is not two wars, but one war, and Li Zhi wants to wait for the Northwest issue to be resolved, and then settle the general ledger together. So Li Zhi said again: "I know you must be very tired, but many people are still waiting, if Aiqing is healthy, let's go tomorrow." β
"Wechen obeys."
In fact, Han Yi didn't plan to go back to Chang'an directly, he also wanted to solve it as soon as possible, because he knew that staying for one more day would be a very big loss, and now it was spring ploughing time, but he knew that the northwest was very important, and he still had to take a look at Li Zhi first, and after getting Li Zhi's approval, he could also let go in the northwest.
After coming out of the palace, it was already the second watch, the street was still brightly lit, and now the people are living well, and the entertainment industry is also rising, but because of the curfew, the streets are still deserted. Han Yi didn't have time to pay attention to these, sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and came to Xiao Mansion in a leisurely manner.
"Uncle! It's my uncle! My uncle is back! My uncle is back! β
The doorman of the Xiao Mansion opened the door and saw Han Yi standing outside the door, and immediately shouted excitedly.
Han Yidu was startled by him, he couldn't help but touch his little head with a smile, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, what's the blind screaming in the middle of the night, it's not good to talk to others." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone inside: "Who can you quarrel with?" β
Han Yi looked up and saw a tall young woman standing in the courtyard with a lantern, it was not Xiao Wuyi.
"Madame!"
When Han Yi saw Xiao Wuyi, he was immediately excited, and the fatigue on his face immediately dissipated without a trace, and he walked over quickly, with one arm.
Xiao Wuyi suddenly stepped back slightly, and said in a low voice, "Daddy is still inside." β
"Really?"
Han Yi subconsciously put down his hand, slightly embarrassed, but then said, "So what? β
"What kind of system." Xiao Wuyi grimaced and learned Xiao Rui's tone.
"How can there be so many systems."
Han Yi rolled her eyes, but faintly saw tears in the corners of Xiao Wuyi's eyes, so she stretched out her hand and gently held her hand, the two stared at each other, and all their thoughts were silent! Holding Xiao Wuyi's hand, he walked towards the hall and said, "Do you know I'm coming back?" β
Xiao Wuyi snorted, "But at that time, you were invited to the palace by Zhang Desheng." β
Han Yi shook his head and said: "I can't say it's an invitation, I should say it's a drag, but it's not easy for people to win Desheng, so let's not worry about them in general." β
Xiao Wuyi said: "I won't worry about him in general, and if I want to care, I will also worry about Your Majesty." β
"It makes sense."
While the two were talking, they came to the hall, and Han Yi reluctantly let go of Xiao Wuyi, stepped forward quickly, and saluted Xiao Rui.
"Good, good!"
Xiao Rui looked at Han Yi, and saw that there was no missing arm or leg, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, of course he knew that Han Yi was back, otherwise, he would not have waited here, he had already gone back to the room to rest, stroked his beard and smiled, and said with a smile: "The virtuous son-in-law is really a good skill, every time he goes out, he can always come back with great achievements." β
Han Yi said modestly: "The father-in-law has won the award, and the son-in-law is just a grain officer, and no matter how big the credit is, it will be like that." β
Xiao Rui said: "Don't be modest, don't be modest, your deeds in Liaodong have already spread in Chang'an, and the old man is already familiar with it, in order to save Pang Xiaotai's department, you discarded tens of thousands of weapons, and you planned to break Pyongyang City, these are about to be made into stories, and those generals who have come back are full of praise for the logistics this time, saying that if there is this kind of logistics support in every war, our army will be invincible." β
When Han Yi heard this, he was stunned at first, his eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to spread so quickly." β
Xiao Rui just laughed a few times, and then asked, "Your Majesty summoned you back this time for the sake of the northwest." β
Han Yi nodded and said, "Tomorrow, the son-in-law will have to go to Tuyuhun to negotiate with Lu Dongzan." β
"Tomorrow?"
Xiao Wuyi said in surprise.
Han Yi shrugged helplessly.
Xiao Wuyi said unhappily: "You just came back, you have a two-day rest, Your Majesty is really inconsiderate, I have to go to Your Majesty to reason, we don't even ask for a penny, but we do more than anyone else, it's too unfair." β
Han Yi sighed: "Madam, since ancient times, there have been a few emperors who will be considerate, and if you go to Your Majesty to reason, you can't quote scriptures, and you can't stand up at all." β
Xiao Wuyi frowned and said, "This is also true." β
"Ahem, ahem!"
Xiao Rui glanced at the couple warningly, only to feel that the two of them were really a perfect match, they were all the same, and said: "It's a little anxious, but so many people are waiting there, Your Majesty has no choice, you should also be considerate of Your Majesty." β
He thinks that if people want to make meritorious contributions, they don't have a chance, but it's good for you to make great contributions in the east, and there are people waiting for you to receive merit in the west, which is definitely a great thing for the courtiers.
Han Yi nodded in disgust.
Xiao Wuyi said: "Daddy, you have to be considerate of each other in order to call for understanding." β
Xiao Rui frowned and said, "You still say." β
Xiao Wuyi snorted lightly, indicating that he was just unhappy with Li Zhi.
Xiao Rui shook his head helplessly, there was really no way to take her, and said to Han Yi again: "In this case, you should go back and rest earlier." β
"Yes."
The couple saluted Xiao Rui, and then went back to the house.
......
"Madam, do you think about the tea and rice I want?"
As soon as he returned to the house, Han Yi couldn't wait to hold Xiao Wuyi in his arms.
"Fortunately, otherwise, when you come back next time, I am afraid that you will already die of hunger and thirst, because you will have to leave again tomorrow." Xiao Wuyi's eyes were filled with tears, as long as he thought of parting again tomorrow, the joy of this reunion was suddenly diluted a lot.
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and sighed: "It's a little rushed, but there is no way, there are still many soldiers waiting for me to go, so they can go home and reunite with their wives, this time it will be regarded as I am sorry for you, and I will definitely compensate you well in the future." β
Xiao Wuyi said: "If you tell me what I'm sorry for, if you want to say it, Your Majesty should come and tell me." β
"Okay, okay, next time I'll fool him to apologize to you."
"Really?" Xiao Wuyi said happily.
Han Yi said angrily: "Of course it's fake, you also believe it." β
"You said you wouldn't lie to me."
"Uh... But I just want to make you happy. β
Xiao Wuyi glanced at him charmingly, suddenly stretched out his hands, hugged Han Yi's neck, his eyes were full of admiration, and he said with a little excitement: "Actually, I am already very happy, originally I was very dissatisfied with His Majesty for letting my husband go to charge grain, but now I think that this is actually better, husband, you should be a grain officer, and you will also compare those big generals, this can better reflect your ability, next time we will strive to be a smaller official and make greater contributions." β
Han Yi said: "Don't you admire my husband and me!" β
Xiao Wuyi nodded straightly, and said: "And Xiao Wuyue is also quite angry for me, and in one fell swoop wiped out the Japanese army, shocking the whole world, this battle is really very complete for me." β
Han Yi wondered: "Wuyue is fighting for you?" β
Xiao Wuyi said seriously: "Of course, his art of war was taught by me, he is my apprentice, and he is also my younger brother, if he wins, it means that I win." As she spoke, she suddenly blinked and said, "Otherwise, next time, you can also take me along, and the three of us will take all the credit, so that the old man Sikong and his old man can go home early to recuperate." β
You really dare to say anything! Han Yi laughed, kissed her on the lips, and then changed the subject: "By the way, what about my son?" β
Xiao Wuyi said: "I'm already asleep, do you want to go over and see him." β
Han Yi nodded, after all, he didn't have much time.
The couple came to the nurse's house again.
I saw Han Xuanqi lying on the soft cotton pillow, his cheeks were ruddy, drooling, and he slept so fragrantly.
I haven't seen him for a year, Han Xuanyu has grown a lot taller, Han Yi is almost gone, this child is really the same every day.
This made Han Yi a little sad, but he felt that he owed them a lot, he sat on the edge of the bed and gently touched his son's little face, his eyes were slightly moist, and he took Xiao Wuyi's hand again, and said softly: "When I am busy with these things, I will go to ask Your Majesty for a long vacation, and accompany you at home." β
Xiao Wuyi pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you think Your Majesty will approve it?" He can't live without you now! β
Han Yi smiled and said, "But I can never leave you!" β
Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "You know how to pick up good words." β
