13. Do not enter the Tong closed door
The money for repairing weapons is the money used by various local towns to renovate and manufacture weapons, Gao Yue has been in Jingyuan and Xingyuan, and he understands this piece, and what makes him sad is that the Tang army spends very little in this regard, and the military government of each town averages thousands to 10,000 yuan per year, which is roughly the same as the shogunate's materials, and sometimes it is not as good as a luxurious banquet in the military government. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army now, of course, is far from that of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that Li Yuru can really use the saved protocol fee as money for repairing weapons in various towns, it is naturally good news for Gao Yue.
After hearing Gao Yue's plan, Jia Tan was also very happy, and he immediately said that in fact, in addition to the Hu Ke and Fan Zi who went out to drown Chang'an City and the children of the generals in Anbeiting, they could be used as forbidden troops, and after Li Xilie's defeat, Fan Ze, the defense envoy of the Jin merchants, recently appeased thousands of mountain sheds Li Shuwen and Mo Liuhun, and they could also be sent to the capital as forbidden troops.
While everyone was discussing with great interest, suddenly the post guard outside the gate of the courtyard hurriedly ran in and said to Jia Tan: "Festival, festival, there is an envoy from the north from above, saying that there is an edict issued!" ”
"Oh?" Jia Tan and Li Mi couldn't help but think about it.
These days, they are actually waiting for the news from the capital, the news that the emperor announced to him for Bai Ma.
To say that after Yan Zhenqing and Xiao Xin resigned, these two had no idea about the phase at all, it was false, especially Li Yu, who had been in the field for so many years, was first squeezed out by Yuan Zai, and then was hated by Chang Gon, according to the prestige of the government and the opposition, it was long overdue to return to the court as a minister, Yan Zhenqing revealed in his letter to him before: I recommended Shaoyuan in front of Your Majesty, and Xiao Menlang recommended Jia Dunshi.
There is also the recommendation of the former prime minister, which is equivalent to adding double insurance.
At this time, a lieutenant in brocade walked in with steady steps, and everyone stepped forward to salute.
"Congratulations to Dr. Li, the Holy Lord can make you the Shaanxi Defense Observation Envoy, and the Shaanzhou Transit Envoy, and the Zuo Scattered Cavalry Standing Attendant, and go to Zhongshu Province for one day every month."
Li Mi was immediately stunned.
After waiting for so many years, His Majesty still didn't give me the position of chief executive, and he didn't even give me the constitutional title of Imperial Doctor, so I was asked to be the Shaanxi Defense Observation Envoy...... It's to ask me to supervise the transportation of Sanmenxia!
Gao Yue and Liu Yan next to him were also stunned.
Obviously, Emperor Li Shi still didn't want Li Yu to be the prime minister, and he repeated it again.
However, Li Mi is a cultivator after all, and his heart can be forgiving, his face is impassive, and he takes the edict after reciting the holy grace.
Next, the envoy turned to Jia Tan.
Jia Tan sighed slightly, as if he had understood: he and Li Mi were probably the same treatment.
Sure enough, the envoy read out the arrangement for Jia Tan again: resign as the envoy of the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, and let the eastern capital of Luoyang City stay behind, and the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy was replaced by Fan Ze, the former gold merchant defense envoy.
As for Fan Ze's gold merchant defense envoy, it was handed over to Han Xuan's younger brother Han Huan to serve as it.
"Dare to ask the envoys, the two Huangmen squires?" Li Mi couldn't hold back at this time, and asked the emperor about the selection arrangements for the prime minister's team.
The lieutenant envoy told him that Zhang Yan, the regular attendant of the right scattered cavalry, was recommended by Ma Sui, the commander of the Fengcheng army in Hedong, and Bai Ma was promoted as the squire of the Yellow Gate; As for the other Huangmen squire, Li Mian, the former Xuanwu and Yongping military commanders, entered Beijing to take responsibility.
After the envoy left, Li Mi smiled bitterly, looked up at the sky surrounded by the courtyard, left a bitter back to Gao Yue, and after a few long howls, he said calmly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I thought that you and I would have something to do, but I didn't think that I couldn't even enter Tongguan." ”
Li Mi's Shaanxi, and Jia Tan's eastern capital, just across the Daotong Pass from Guanzhong Jinggi.
"Shaoyuan!" At this time, Liu Yan called him.
Li Mi looked back, only to hear Liu Yan's calm voice, and said to him and Jia Tan: "When real gold is calcined, be patient." ”
After hearing this, Li Mi and Jia Tan both realized something, so they both saluted Liu Yan and then said goodbye.
At this time, only Liu Yan and Gao Yue were left in the entire Xiting courtyard.
"There's no such person as Hu Ben in Xingyuan Mansion, is there?" Liu Yan's thin fingers wrapped his sparse beard and said to Gao Yue bluntly.
Gao Yue lowered his head, which was considered a default.
"The more true the true, the more false it is." Liu Yan squinted his eyes, a little proud, "But this kind of children's affairs in the courtyard all depend on Yi Song's personal orientation and cultivation, if you are really confused, you might as well ask Xiao Zhongming in Nanyuan We haven't seen you for a long time, don't talk about these trivial matters, come, sit down." ”
Gao Yue sat down next to Liu Yan in the small pavilion, and then Liu Yan said to him: "No matter how good the friendship between you and King Pu is, remember to remember, but once there is any wind and grass in the palace, you can't help but stand on the side of the prince!" ”
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Gao Yue hurriedly nodded.
Then Liu Yan drank a few cups of tea with him, and his speech slowed down, "By the way, Yisong, do you know why Han Taichong had a bad relationship with Du Junqing when he was boating that night?" ”
"I don't know."
"Du Junqing, in fact, when he is preparing to return to the dynasty this time, he wants to present the emperor with the strategy of reforming Caoyun, and he also wants to take advantage of this to invite merit and go straight to the position of Zaizhi." Liu Yan said unhurriedly.
"What you said to me, Yan Xiang, is not wrong, and the dispute in the court after that is the dispute over Cao Yun and Li Quan."
Liu Yan was silent, and then clicked a few times with his fingertips on the tea soup in the cup, and drew it rustling on the sandalwood surface of Xiaoji:
"Du Junqing's policy is to restore the chasm of the Han Dynasty Cao Yun, specifically like this, from the Junyi in the south of Bianzhou, the Pipa ditch is connected to Cai Shui, and then from Cai Shui to Huaiyang in Chenzhou, into Yingshui, and then from Yingshui from Shouyang into the water, the source of the water is connected with Chaohu Lake in Anhui Province, only a section of high gang, called Jiming Gang, as long as this post is chiseled, the ship can go straight into the Chaohu Lake, and the Yangtze River can be directly connected to the Yangtze River."
And the so-called Caishui, that is, the Langdang Canal, is also the main road of the ancient chasm, as long as it passes here, the wealth and grain can go straight to Xingyang, Luoyang, and then cross the Sanmenxia by the Nanhe, and send it to Chang'an City through Shaanzhou.
Then Liu Yan said that if you don't dig the Jiming Gang, it is nothing more than a number of land routes in the middle, a Jiminggang separates the Yangtze River, Juchao Lake, and the river, the length is about more than 40 miles, and a transfer yard is set up here, and the materials transported from the rivers and lakes are sent to the river by land, which is also bearable; Second, the ships entering the river between the Jianghuai River can also enter the Chaoxian County of Dongguan along the Yangtze River from Yizheng in Baisha and present-day Jiangsu, enter Chaohu Lake, and enter the river through the Jiming Gang.
In this case, once the chasm can be connected to the Yangtze River, Jianghuai's wealth can not go to the Bianhe River, so that it will not be threatened by Ziqing and Weibo, and the rice of Lingnan, Hanzhong, Jingnan, and even Shu can also be directly transported by boat, through various waterways, first converge in the Yangtze River, enter the nest, and then enter the chasm, and send it to Luoyang and Chang'an? In addition, the area around the chasm is mostly plain, and the dredging project is far more convenient than other places. ”
"Yi Song is right, but now you should also understand why Han Yun resolutely did not allow Du You's plan to be implemented! He didn't want Du You's plan to appear in front of the emperor's eyes at all. Liu Yan sighed after speaking.
"In that case, it will be equivalent to Han Yun's Xuanrun status plummeting?" Gao Yue immediately understood.
Liu Yan nodded.
