Chapter 2000: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
The city of Logos.
"Big brother, big brother, good news, great news!"
Qin Ling strode to his eldest brother Zanxiruo's room and shouted to Zanxiruo with an excited expression.
Zansilo asked, "What good news?" ”
Qin Ling said: "I just got the news that Li Quanzhong, the head of the Khitan League in the northeast, raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. ”
When Zan Xiruo heard this, he couldn't help but get up suddenly, and said happily: "Is this true? ”
Qin Ling said: "But not long ago, it has been suppressed, and it has only been fought for two months. ”
Zan Xiruo was stunned, sat down, and said with a puzzled face: "This is good news, but it's only been two months, I'm afraid that even the Tang Dynasty hasn't been injured, and it can be seen that the strength of the Tang Army is still very strong, so we can't be careless." ”
Qin Ling said with a smile: "Big brother, do you know why the Khitan League leader rebelled?" ”
Zansiruo asked, "Why?" ”
"Because of the merchants."
"Merchant?"
Qin Ling immediately told Zan Xiruo what he knew.
When Zan Xiruo heard this, he was even more puzzled: "What does this have to do with us?" ”
Qin Ling said with a smile: "The Khitan was suppressed, this really has nothing to do with us, but if we want to trace the source, it has a lot to do with our plan." ”
Zan Xiruo blinked, and suddenly said excitedly: "You mean to say? ”
"Don't you think this is a gift from God? No, it should be a gift from Han Yi, with this battle, there is no reason why our plan will not succeed. Qin Ling nodded excitedly and said: "This time I must destroy the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, we Tubo will not only rule the entire plateau, but also settle in the Central Plains and become the master of the Central Plains." ”

……
Changan. Yang House.
"Grandma, be careful."
"Huh! Grandma wasn't so bad that she couldn't move her legs. ”
I saw Han Yi and Yang Feixue supporting Mrs. Yang for a walk in the garden.
Because Yang Feixue has been living in Yang Mansion recently, Han Yi also expressed his support, so he comes to Yang Mansion from time to time to live for two days these days.
"Xue'er, you go and watch my precious grandson, just have Han Yi to accompany the old body." Old Madam Yang suddenly spoke.
Yang Feixue looked stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Han Yi, you have to take care of grandma." ”
Han Yi smiled: "You can rest assured, don't I take care of you for nothing?" ”
Yang Feixue gave him a smile in her eyes, and then turned around and left.
Old Madam Yang smiled and said: "This Xue'er is really, she is already married, she doesn't even call her husband, she still calls your name, and the old man will help you talk about her well another day." ”
Han Yi smiled: "This can better reflect that Feixue and I are two little guesses, childhood sweethearts!" ”
Mrs. Yang was happy to hear it, he laughed, and after a while, she sighed again: "In this life, the old body has done a lot of foolish things and said a lot of foolish things, far less virtuous and capable than Mrs. Fang, but there is one thing, the old body has always been proud, that is, I have taken a fancy to you." Do you know what the old body admires most about you? ”
Han Yi said: "The son-in-law thinks it shouldn't be his appearance." ”
"Naturally not!"
Old Madam Yang said, she laughed happily, pointed at Han Yi, and continued: "The old body admires you the most, that is, you are very affectionate and righteous, and I still remember that in order to owe Feixue a favor, you repeatedly helped our Yang family, and even saved our Yang family, and under such a great grievance, you also safely escorted Feixue to Chang'an, the old body was both moved and guilty at that time!"
This person, the size of the ability, but secondly, the old body has seen too many capable and extremely smart people, and they also ended up in a miserable end, but some stupid people live well. There is a sky outside this sky, there are people outside the world, there will always be someone stronger than you, no matter how cunning the fox is, when he encounters a tiger, he can only become a food for the stomach, but the nature is difficult to change, a person who values love and righteousness, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad, and it will never let Xue'er suffer any grievances, which is enough. ”
Han Yi said: "The old lady praised the little son-in-law and blushed. ”
Old Madam Yang said: "This cheek is so thick-skinned, it will also blush." ”
Han Yi laughed.
Old Madam Yang laughed a few times, and said: "This person will always die, and the old man has lived to this age, and he is already satisfied, and he doesn't dare to ask for too much." Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "The old body is the only one who can't rest assured of the Yang family now!" Now that the prince's wedding is imminent, the new crown princess is the granddaughter of our Yang family, and the status of our Yang family is also rising, and my sons and nephews are very happy. But the old body is worried about this! ”
Han Yi said: "Why? ”
"You don't know?." Old Madam Yang glanced at Han Yi.
Han Yi said: "The son-in-law doesn't know if he knows it, because the son-in-law doesn't understand what you mean by grandma?" ”
Old Madam Yang sighed and said: "After Li Yifu was executed, the queen's power in the court was almost wiped out, and those who stayed in the court at that time were against her, so it was very difficult for her to encircle those ministers again, only by relying on our relatives, she was able to quickly establish her own power in the court, the Yang family, the Helan family, and the Guo family were all things she could rely on, especially our Yang family, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, our Yang family has always been a nobleman, and many families have marriages, even the royal family, It can be said that her family background is illustrious, if she uses the relationship of our Yang family, she will soon be able to establish a strong force in the court. ”
When Han Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think that this old lady usually doesn't show her beauty, and she couldn't imagine that she could see the situation between Korea and China so thoroughly, which is really amazing!
After the fall of Li Yifu and them, coupled with the temporary agreement, it was difficult for Wu Meiniang to build up her own power in the court as before, and without relying on him, then only by relying on her relatives could she break through this point and use the relationship network of the Yang family, Helan family, and Guo family to establish her own power.
The temporary covenant law does not allow me to meet the minister in private, I can not see it, but you can't prevent me from going back to my parents' house, nor can I be allowed to see my relatives, and Wu Meiniang's maiden family is the Yang family, the royal family of the previous dynasty, the family background is prominent, and it can be regarded as the first family in addition to the royal family, because the Yang family is about to become the crown princess, and it also has a marriage relationship with Shang Shuling, the youngest in the current court.
Almost everyone in the family was an official in the court, and they were married to the big nobles.
Wu Meiniang will never be willing to be a pawn of Han Yi, she was not born to be such a woman, she has imperial genes, she must have to start over, although it is more difficult, but she will not give up.
Of course Han Yi understands this, and he has thought of this a long time ago, cooperating with Wu Meiniang, a woman with such a strong desire for power, she must first think of this, since he can accept it, it proves that he doesn't care, but he didn't expect that Old Madam Yang would see through this.
Old Madam Yang glanced at Han Yi slantedly, smiled slightly, and continued: "But this is exactly what the old body is most worried about, you should have heard the old body nagging before, although my husband was the prime minister back then, and he was even more honored in his later years, but he was humble and humble as a corporal, and never made enemies with others, but he was afraid of getting involved in these battles, I don't care if people say that my son is not promising, and sometimes he can live a long life if he is confused. But... But now this situation is not something that the old body can control, our queen's ambition is not small, and she has a very close relationship with my Yang family, and she keeps cutting if she wants to, and the old body is really afraid that one day she will bring our Yang family into the land of no return. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Han Yi meaningfully, patted his hand and said, "Han Yi, the old body hopes that if one day, the last thing the old body wants to see happens, you can save our Yang family's life." ”
Han Yi immediately said: "Grandma, what you say is out of sight, it is impossible for me to make Feixue sad, and for this alone, I will not let the Yang family suffer greatly, this is something that does not need to be considered." ”
Old Madam Yang nodded and said with a smile: "With your words, the old body is relieved." ”
As everyone knows, the culprit of everything is not Wu Meiniang, but Han Yi.
.....
.....
The prince's wedding was finally held in the cold winter, this is because the prince is not young, whether it is the emperor and queen, or the minister, they all want to complete this matter as soon as possible, in addition, the prince himself does not want to disturb the people's livelihood, if it is arranged in spring and autumn, he is afraid of interfering with the people's livelihood, so he finally chooses to get married in the winter.
And everything is simple, don't be extravagant and wasteful, this Li Hong is quite similar to Li Zhi, he doesn't like luxury life very much, and thinks that simplicity is a virtue.
This is also the reason why Li Zhi likes Li Hong very much, not like Li Shimin, like Li Shimin, who made Li Chengqian the crown prince, but likes Li Tai.
Therefore, on the day of the wedding, Li Zhi announced an amnesty for the world.
Amnesty is given to those who have not committed serious crimes, and if there are parents in the family, even if the crime is a little more serious, as long as it is not of the kind that has committed the most heinous crimes, they are pardoned, and they are given the status of good citizens, and the number of slaves and maidservants in the country is reduced again.
However, it is usually the emperor who ascends the throne to grant amnesty to the world, but now it is only the prince who is married, and he actually gives amnesty to the world, which shows how much Li Zhi likes Li Hong.
This is actually Li Zhi's attempt to highlight Li Hong's benevolence and filial piety.
This did add a lot of points to Li Hong, and the people also liked this prince very much.
Han Yi was also touched by the joy of the royal family, so he hurriedly took a long vacation and went to the hot spring manor with his three wives for a vacation.
In the kitchen of the hot spring manor, the picture is still the same, Han Yi is busy washing and cutting fruits, while his three wives are sitting on the side eating and chatting.
"Husband, how much did this prince's wedding cost?"
Xiao Wuyi asked with a gossipy face.
Han Yi asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "I don't think it's very grand, the scale is much smaller than I imagined, isn't it that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are tying up the prince." ”
Han Yi said: "It really didn't cost much, this is what the prince asked, everything is simple, Your Majesty and the queen also agree with it very much." ”
Xiao Wuyi said with a smile: "The prince is really like my emperor's uncle." ”
Han Yi smiled: "This is the blessing of the people." ”
Yuan Peony nodded and said: "That's right, the prince's wedding, the people have really benefited a lot, this amnesty, released many people, and provided us merchants with a lot of manpower." ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "That's also the profit of your merchants, what does it have to do with the people." ”
"You can't say that." Han Yi said: "When these people come out, the first thing is to find a livelihood, they have fewer requirements and work hard, resulting in low costs for merchants, so the price of goods is cheap, and the people still benefit from it." ”
"You know how to help her." Xiao Wuyi snorted.
Yuan Peony shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Yang Feixue again: "Feixue, how is your fairy tale in white selling?" ”
Yang Feixue nodded and said, "It's good." ”
"It's not just good, but now even the Analects can't be compared with the fairy tale in white." Xiao Wuyi said excitedly: "With this book alone, Feixue is already about to become the largest donor of our women's college, and now it has exceeded five thousand, not counting the money made by a profiteer. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Han Yi.
Han Yi said: "Don't look at me, the profiteer is Sangmu, and I don't care." ”
Although the book was written by Yang Feixue, the distribution was Fengfeilou's printing house, and of course they also made money.
Yuan Peony was surprised: "It's sold so much!" ”
Yang Feixue said shyly: "I don't know, this one seems to be selling very well." ”
Han Yi smiled: "First of all, of course, your writing is wonderful, and you have made a lot of progress." Secondly, there are more rich people nowadays, and there are more people who can read and write, and now fairy tale books are all with pinyin, and they can also help children learn, which of course buys more people. In addition, in terms of copyright, Zhaoyi Academy and Shizu Academy have adopted your fairy tales, but they also have to give money. ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "In this way, the money is all in your hands." ”
Han Yi said: "Didn't it all flow into you in the end." But I'm curious if you need to spend so much money to build a women's university. ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "Isn't there a part of it that exists in your gold shop, don't you know?" ”
"Uh......."
"You really don't care about me at all."
"Can I make up for my concern for you by donating a thousand yuan?"
"Absolutely." Xiao Wuyi nodded immediately.
Han Yi said: "Deal." ”
Yuan Peony chuckled: "Wuyi, when did you become so unprincipled." ”
Xiao Wuyi said thoughtfully: "I think it's since I married a businessman." ”
Several people laughed.
Yuan Peony suddenly asked, "By the way, husband, when will the steam pump of your Sage Sixth Academy be able to be tried?" ”
Han Yi said: "It should be next spring." ”
Yuan Peony said: "Now that this coal is digging deeper and deeper, the water accumulation has become very troublesome, and I really hope to use this steam pump as soon as possible." ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "Don't look forward to it too much, even if you take it to the mine to use, it doesn't mean that it is suitable, you have to look at the final cost and use cost." ”
Yuan Peony said: "This product is getting better and cheaper and cheaper, isn't your perfume and paper all like this, so as long as it is easy to use, it doesn't matter if it is expensive at first, if you don't use it, it will become more and more expensive." ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "Madame really sees the long term, I will reward you with a piece of fruit." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fruit and put it to Yuan Peony's mouth.
Yuan Peony glanced at him shyly, but lightly opened his lips and bit the piece of fruit.
Yang Feixue suddenly said: "Han Yi, aren't you very busy in winter?" Why are you so idle this winter? ”
Han Yi sighed: "Every year is busy with the same thing, if you still can't do without me, then everyone else's salary will simply be calculated for me." ”
Xiao Wuyi immediately said: "Since you are so idle, husband, why don't you come and help me." ”
Han Yi snorted: "Come less, I want to take Jiazhi, I want to be a good father, tell you, now I am very sought-after, Rui'er and Xuanyi have already asked me to go ice skating in the amusement park next month, and they won't bring yours, so you have to cherish the time you spend with me, and you can't let go of even a quarter of an hour, and it's best not to separate at night." Hehe....... ”
The three girls gave him a blank look at the same time, then got up and walked outside.
"Hey, hey, where are you going? Don't do that, I'm just bragging. ”
......
After spending a seven-day leisure vacation in the hot spring villa, Han Yi's family returned to the city, and as soon as they arrived home, they were dragged by the Wu Kelie to the new market to drink, and they drank in the dark with these grassland men.
This banknote went to the northwest, which was immediate, accelerated the capitalization of the northwest, made the northwest more prosperous, and the trade between the people became more and more frequent, because it can be settled in currency, and it is the same currency, it is much more convenient, and the people on both sides of the country are also more close, really regardless of you and me.
Wu Kelie, they are really very grateful to Han Yi in their hearts.
In fact, they have always thought that Han Yi is their boss, and every time they come back to Chang'an, they have to visit the boss in person, the emperor is in their hearts, and the weight is not heavy.
As a result, on the second day, Han Yi asked for leave again because of a headache.
It wasn't until the third day that Han Yi came to the household.
"Since Qin, I have really never seen such an idle prime minister as you."
Zhang Daxiang said with a smile.
Of course he doesn't blame Han Yi, he just thinks that you are a scholar who has real power, and you ask for long leave at every turn, and you can't find anyone, it's really rare!
Han Yi sighed: "I've been resigning, Your Majesty doesn't approve me of what to do, my ability is only enough to manage one household, but His Majesty asked me to manage six departments, and my talent is insufficient, so I can only fill it with diligence, think about how tired I am, of course you have to give me time to rest!" ”
Zhang Daxiang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart, you don't even manage the household department, and there are six departments, have you been to the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department?
Han Yi asked again, "How is the Khitan over there?" ”
Zhang Daxiang said: "A message has been sent over there, and it is going very smoothly." Hehe, in the end, you are still powerful, first pretending to give Wan Quansheng their official title and recognize their chieftaincy, but they all refused, asking to be only a merchant, and hoped that the imperial court would establish a state and county in the local area. When those chiefs saw that Wan Quansheng was not the chief, but they were richer, had more people under them, and were more powerful, they were envious in their hearts, and Zheng Shilang took the opportunity to help them transform into merchants, give them technology, and ensure that they lived a richer life than they are now, then of course they were all willing. ”
Han Yi smiled: "What does it mean that it doesn't take much effort, if you don't give people benefits, will people agree?" We also sent special personnel to teach them to do business and trade with them, but it didn't take much effort. ”
Zhang Daxiang said: "What is this, a battle with them will cost a lot more money than this." ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "How did the reward go?" ”
Zhang Daxiang said: "This is the prince and Shangguan Yi who are in charge, and we are only responsible for allocating money to them." ”
"That's fine."
Han Yi nodded and asked, "Are this year's statistics out?" ”
"Not yet."
"That's okay, let me know when you come out, and I'll go to the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage to take a look."
"Why don't you go? You've only been here for a short time. ”
"You're so good, I'm standing here, and I don't seem to have much effect other than being embarrassed."
Han Yi got up and left leisurely.
Zhang Daxiang shook his head and said, "Monster, this is really a monster." ”
There were many people who thought that Han Yi proposed to resign from Shangshuling several times, but they were all coy, but now no one thinks so anymore, everyone agrees that Han Yi really doesn't want to be this Shangshuling, because he doesn't fight for power and profit, and he doesn't form gangs, when he needs him, he stands up and says something, when he doesn't need him, he takes a vacation, it's just harmless to people and animals, and now there are almost no concerts to impeach Han Yi, because this kind of boss is simply rare to see in the ages, holding real power, but not taking care of things, It's so easy to work under him, and if you want to drive him down, if one comes even harder, won't you be cocooning yourself.
I think that when the eldest grandson Wuji was in power, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government were silent, for fear of offending the eldest grandson Wuji.
Offending Han Yi, in fact, it doesn't matter, you scold him twice, in addition to scolding you twice, he will not use his power to kill you, there have always been concerts to impeach Han Yi before, but Han Yi has never retaliated against anyone, let alone settle accounts after the autumn, in fact, Li Yifu's death, no one said that Han Yi blamed Han Yi's head, at that time, Han Yi did not fall into the ground, in fact, Han Yi was not willing to kill Li Yifu in his heart, such as Li Yifu's kind of teammates, it is unavoidable.
This made the ministers of the DPRK and China support Han Yi to continue to be in office.
