Chapter Ninety-Seven: Going Up Again
The advantage of the king-level bigwigs is that they have full control from a high vantage point, and big families in the border areas like the Feng family and the Xian family can compete with the central bigwigs unless they support the army in the last years of the dynasty, and they also have the personnel power and financial power to support the army.
However, since Feng Ang has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing to say about this matter, and there is no need to mention anything "forcing rebellion" or "forcing rebellion", once the world is decided, this kind of old "warlord" or local tycoon, even if he wants to rebel, in the words of the old brother in Guangzhou, it is "fighting the street".
There has never been success, all of them are "street boys".
So when Fang Xuanling was on the emperor's side, he said that the fangren in the territory of Guangzhou were all righteous, he was loyal, he was hard, the old ministers were heartbroken, and His Majesty was merciful......
Fang Tianwang, whose wife is "jealous" professionally, moved himself to tears, if a politician can't move himself, how can he move others?
The king shook the lice on his body, and Fang Xuanling's protΓ©gΓ© immediately "heard the strings and knew the elegance", although I don't know what the boss wants to do, but we just need to follow the flag and shout or brush "666", don't you still have to look at the chairman?
A group of old subordinates in Shangshu Province are also honest people, and when they were sleeping in Luoyang, they also talked to the sleeping prostitutes about their thoughts about the people of Guangzhou, which was called a tossing and turning and unable to sleep at night.
After more than ten days, the news reached Guangzhou, and the Feng children were full of confusion: Ouch, the second brother is so powerful in the capital, even Fang Tianwang is stammered, didn't he hear that he prostituted and played with young and beautiful girls with Fang Ergongzi? Why did you even hug such a big guy?
Feng's and Xian's were quite moved in Guangzhou, after all, when they saw that Fang Tianwang was talking to them, if they had the support of the imperial court, they would grit their teeth and dig out a little, and if this reservoir was repaired, wouldn't the extra fields be in the soup pot?
The Feng family also pondered that if Fang Tianwang came to Guangzhou in the future, he would definitely treat him to a roast goose or something.
Although Li Dong, who is far away in Liaodong, explained that he knew that Fang Qiao's mind may not be simple, but he did not stop this kind of "high-sounding" thing, and the horizontal and vertical were also a little red flower to him.
"Okay, the Liaodong edict has arrived in Luoyang, and Hongwen Pavilion will be executed in a few days."
Fang Xuanling went to the top and thin, and the result was perfect, but when he mentioned "Hongwen Pavilion", his whole face was like constipation.
The emperor thought that he was still hunting in Liaodong, and all administrative orders were "all from above", and the executive unit naturally became a group of "Hongwenge" bachelors.
Although the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion is a bachelor, what he can do is secretarial work, which is used to convey news to the six departments.
That's it, those unpromising bachelors are still very beautiful, and when they are prostitutes, they brag to prostitutes, saying that they are "more powerful than the government, better than the three provinces".
Outsiders don't know, they only know that the well-dressed beasts of Hongwen Pavilion go to the six departments to guide the work, and they are all acting according to orders, which is simply "monstrous". The broad masses of the people who do not know the truth are really frightened by them.
It was precisely because a group of "secretary langs" actually bluffed people that Fang Xuanling, one of the four heavenly kings, was very unhappy. The wise strategy of his life, the style has dropped too much, and the decline is too much.
Regarding Li Shimin's mentality, Fang Xuanling does not have to be complicated by his eldest grandson. When Li Dong was still the head of the security section, Lao Fang racked his brains to give him advice, several times to avoid risks, and picked up cheap, I dare not say that it all relied on Fang Xuanling's resourcefulness, but things are always good and bad, with him and without him Fang Qiao, can it be the same thing?
At the moment, Fang Qiao thought maliciously that it was better to "unload the mill and kill the donkey", which would be a little more enjoyable.
Although Lao Zhang heard that Fang Tianwang had a grudge against the "Hongwen Pavilion", he still smiled and said: "What are Fang Xiang and a group of secretaries worried about, now that the emperor is 'patrolling Liaodong', Luoyang is here to deal with it." Ran's arrangement in the southwest should also be closed. β
"Oh? The results of the survey are out? β
"I'm afraid that the prime minister will not believe it, since Jinzhou, all the mountains inhabited by Wuling barbarians have produced gold and copper. Although the reserves are not high, but the scope is very wide, you can build the road Yelang County, go upstream, pass through Yezhou, Chongzhou, Jiangzhou, Qianzhou, Houzhou, cross the Bajiang River, and enter Juzhou. β
"The road in Qianzhong is difficult, and the Ran family is friendly with the fangs, if it is restricted, I am afraid it will be difficult to do."
"Qianzhong Prefecture County, a place of many fetters, such as the flow of Juzhou, is like this. It's just that the results of the investigation are still very good, and the land of Juzhou is in the heart of Guizhou. If you operate more, and then build the 'Six Edicts', plus the Shudi 'Body Poison Road', as long as the hardware is endless, you will not lose money. β
Because of the relationship between transportation, even if it is the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the entire Tang Dynasty is still "money shortage", but such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, Huaiyang, or busy trade or the benefits of salt and iron, in short, local large cities, there is "inflation".
Taking Yangzhou as an example, the cash reserves of the core cities of Jiangdu and Yangzi County have long surpassed those of Taiyuan and other established big cities in Hedong. Its scale is already on par with Chang'an, and what is the status of Chang'an? What is the status of Yangzhou?
This is also the case in Wuhan, so that in the Wuhan area, the amount of gold and silver currency has occupied a large share, and it is really impossible to go out and wave around, it is impossible to load dozens of catties of copper coins, right?
Although the China Resources Flying Ticket is good, it is only in a "small circle" at the moment. Only in a port city like Fuzhou, which has a large amount of gold and silver trade, China Resources Flying Ticket has its unique "Jianghu status", but the "Jianghu status" of China Resources Flying Ticket is because China Resources Fuzhou Hall stores a large amount of gold and silver.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling saw with their own eyes that Fuzhou has leapt from a small turtle port to the third largest precious metal trading market in Jiangdong, and it took less than five years.
The two kings of the number game behind it don't care, they only see one thing: Lao Tzu only needs to print waste paper in the future......
If they are still the central real power, then they must resist this temptation, but now they are not about to be "laid off and re-employed", no matter how much.
So Fang Xuanling didn't bother to talk to Zhang De about what he didn't have, and he just meant one: you give the whole real!
Lao Zhang didn't talk nonsense, so he said: "You can operate Juzhou as the southwest copper market." β
"Copper City? Is it government or private? β
"Sooner or later, it's all government-run, but let's come to the private office first."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there won't be too many officers and soldiers."
"It's good to say, you can recruit Wulingman as a 'soil group', and then seconded the Xuzhou militia group."
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately felt that this idea was good. "Tutuan" or something, it is said that it is "razing and conquering", give a nice name, "XX Captain" and "XX General", after the end of the central government, you have a cousin who seems to be "disobedient to the king", you help ***, do a good job and reward!
If you want to talk about equipment, the "Tutuan" is not a government soldier, and it would be good for the court to issue some flags, at most it is to appreciate the meaning of silk cloth. The main benefit of maintaining the "Tutuan" is the war dividend, of course, if the scale is not large, it is black eating black......
As for the militia group, because the "remnants of the giant field" were running around in those years, and the local joint defense team was reduced after its establishment, most of them went home to farm after the gang was dispersed, and only those who showed up in front of the round table and drew their swords were mixed up with the imperial court's reward.
But the reward of the imperial court only turned the militia into government soldiers, and they still had to farm after they dispersed.
Cui Hongdao played a little greasy, but this kind of years is harmless.
In this situation, if there are heroes and heroes who "volunteer" to enter Juzhou to maintain "national unity" and protect "Tang Dynasty expatriates", no one can say what is wrong with this, isn't it?
Besides, in the past two years, the imperial court has not lost the "Wuji Captain" to speak, and further on, there are "iron rod temples" everywhere. Don't heroes have romantic patriotism?
It's just that no matter how "volunteering", the money must be paid, but it is obvious that Fang Tianwang is not willing to pay money, not that he is stingy, but that this matter cannot be touched, at most he will give conditions to the policy, but he can't give money.
So Fang Tianwang asked Lao Zhang again: "What about the money and food of the militia group?" β
"There is no need to worry about the prime minister, the militia should not follow the example of Dunhuang military rations."
Fang Xuanling thought back for a while, and remembered that Dunhuang had invested a lot of money in order to hoard grain to maintain the logistics of the Western Army's continuous attack.
Not to mention that the emperor repaired the Dunhuang Palace, now "salt production for military rations" is still the main livelihood of salt merchants in Kansai.
"According to the meaning of the exercise, is it to exchange the profits of the copper market?"
"Juzhou and the barbarian valleys can also be tuntian. It's just that the military tun is not as convenient as the commercial tun, if there is a 'copper production capital', or the sale of copper ingots, etc., it can always be done. β
Fang Xuanling's mind went through it, and he said, "The old man will go up again." β
