Chapter Twenty-Four: Successfully Joining the Qin King's Forces

Seeing these famous cattle people in later generations, who were shocked and speechless in the face of a few words from themselves, Luo Yan's heart was full of a sense of achievement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, although it is plagiarized from Mr. Hengqu's famous words, Luo Yan is coerced by the system, so there is nothing wrong with saying so. Do you want him to say in front of these bigwigs, ah, I originally wanted my wife and children to be hot on the kang, but I was coerced by the system, and if I want to become the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion like you, I have to become a generation of Wenzong.

Luo Yan believed that if he dared to say this, without the system to clean him up, these people present would be able to pull him back to be a monster. It's not that everyone's IQ is so low that they can be fooled casually, especially these people. can put Li Shimin on the throne, which one will have less IQ and courage.

After the surprise, everyone began to admire Luo Yan's ambition

"Boy, the Confucian Mansion has more than 10,000 books, you can come and borrow them at any time." Kong Yingda took the lead in expressing his position. After all, it is the Confucian family, and in all the wars and turmoil, with the shadow of the ancestors, the losses they have suffered are always the smallest. Therefore, the richness of its collection of books is probably only comparable to that of the Ministry of Secretaries. Moreover, I am afraid that there are still a lot of unique books in it, which is the most precious.

Kong Yingda's statement made everyone envious. The Confucius family has a rich collection of books, and the corresponding protection of books is also very strict, and it is basically easy not to borrow. Although the few people present were able to borrow books from the Confucian Mansion, they were far from being as good as the conditions that Kong Yingda gave to Luo Yan.

The Gai brothers followed: "This is really the envy of my two brothers, the books of Assistant Teacher Kong's family are not so easy to borrow. Last time, I borrowed a lone book, and it actually cost two jars of Jiannan to burn the spring. ”

After ridiculing Kong Yingda for being stingy again, Old Master Lu said: "This book is also available, as the so-called 'learning alone and no friends, then lonely and unheard', if you are usually free, even if you come to Guozijian to find me, you and I can discuss one or two." "This is a disguised way to teach Luo Yan.

Lu Fuzi's talent is considered to be the top in this Tang Dynasty, if he releases a rumor that he wants to accept disciples at this time, I am afraid that the people in line will be able to circle Chang'an City several times. The reason why Luo Yan was not directly accepted as a disciple was also due to Luo Yan's growth rate and the path he would take in the future. Although Lu Fuzi is specialized in learning, he can only give Luo Yan some advice in other aspects.

This was followed by the promises of Li Xuandao and others in other aspects. Basically, after today, Luo Yan will officially join the forces of the Qin Palace.

But at this time, the problem came again, since Luo Yan was unwilling to sign the performance of this sea water drying salt, then in whose name should it be sent.

Since it was recognized by these people, Luo Yan was unceremonious and directly expressed his opinion: "The song is still written by the King of Qin, and it is sent to Chang'an by the horse, and it will be signed by the King of Qin." In this way, His Majesty will not let the crown prince completely benefit because of the face of King Qin. ”

Luo Yan's decision was beyond everyone's expectations. Although Luo Yan just said that he was not sticky to this credit, according to Luo Yan's current method, he completely picked himself up, which made everyone very embarrassed.

"Enter, do you really plan to stay out of it? If you want me to say, the notes we wrote earlier can be handed over. As for His Majesty's remuneration, you can refuse it on the grounds that you are not qualified to enter the official career for the first time, so that at least you can be in the emperor's heart. In this way, it will be easier to transfer or promote in the future. Since everyone already regarded Luo Yan as a peer at this time, they directly called Luo Yan's character, Li Xuandao persuaded Luo Yan.

"Seniors, you're too worried. As the saying goes, those who have great patience must have great plans, and at this time, Jian Jian is in the emperor's heart early, and I am afraid that it will be fueled by the seedlings. The kid is still young, and Jane has many opportunities in the emperor's heart, so there is no need to rush for a while. Luo Yan said very arrogantly.

Seeing that Luo Yan already had his own plans, everyone didn't need to say much, and began to discuss the best use of this matter.

The King of Qin has always been known for his military exploits, so compared with the prince's family staying in Chang'an for a long time, the power of civil officials is still weaker. According to Li Yuan's partiality towards the prince's family in the past, even if this matter was suggested by King Qin, in the end, the biggest benefit should still be distributed to the prince.

Everyone is very helpless about such a passive situation, if this is a war in Shandong, no matter how partiality you Li Yuan is, dare to be so blatant. When you arrive in Chang'an, it is different, the game of civilian power is much more complicated than the military one.

After discussing it for a long time, there was no particularly good solution. The crowd fell into deep thought again, and for a moment the silence in the private room was so silent that a pin could be heard on the floor.

After all, Luo Yan is a junior official, so he doesn't know much about many personnel appointments, so he can only think about it from a general perspective. Sea salt is a cornucopia, and the profits made through sea salt every year are worth one-tenth of the national tax revenue. Considering the large-scale production of sea salt, Luo Yan's heart was hot, how much money did it have to be.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly opened his mind. I have seen a lot of pigtail dramas in my previous life, but there is a very important point in it, there are a lot of nests in the Jiangnan officialdom, especially in the Huaiyang area, where officials are so extravagant that they don't use gold as money. And it's going to fall into one by one, it's simply a bottomless quagmire.

Now Luo Yan's mind came alive. Since you can't get benefits, then you can destroy the other party's living force, then it's okay.

Salt politics is an important weapon of the country, so when the time comes, the lack of new life will also have to be four products. If the prince's side gets this benefit, he will definitely send capable people to handle this matter, and then the opportunity will come. In this world, there is no interest that cannot be touched by the hearts of the people, the difference is only whether the interests are enough.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan burst into a wicked laugh. And Luo Yan's laughter alarmed all the contemplative people present.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Luo Yan was also a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm: "The kid has thought of a way, but there are too many yin damages, I'm afraid it is not the gentleman's doing." ”

Fortunately, these people are not pedantic, after all, it is about the game between the two major forces, and sometimes it is not useless to see the methods on the table.

"You say." Luo Yan's ears suddenly sounded in unison.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, 'if you want to take it, you must give it first', salt politics is a major national matter, you might as well suggest in the Qin King's recital that Your Majesty set up such a yamen to take charge of the matter of drying salt in the sea. When the time comes, His Majesty will inevitably send the chief official of this yamen to the prince to decide. With the importance of this sea salt, the prince will inevitably send capable men to the southeast. ”

"Oh? Is this going to turn the tiger away from the mountain? ”

"No, the real killer is behind. Since Your Majesty wants the prince's person to be the chief official, I might as well take advantage of the situation, saying that this salt and iron have been important since ancient times, and someone must supervise them, and recommend a person who is determined and not moved by wealth. Presumably, within half a year, the prince will lose a confidant. ”

"Doesn't that mean that this matter of sea salt is a quagmire?" Soon everyone understood what Luo Yan meant.

"After all, wealth is moving, and the imperial court has repeatedly imposed heavy regulations over the years, but private salt is still very popular, which is the truth. In fact, it is best for His Majesty's henchmen to do this matter, but now that King Qin has too many military achievements, it seems that the prince is in a weak position, and in order to check and balance, His Majesty will inevitably share the benefits with the prince, and there is no way. Luo Yan said what he thought.

When it came to the situation in the court, everyone present could see it more clearly than Luo Yan, so they nodded one after another.

Thinking about it carefully, I found that Luo Yan's method was the most suitable one. The distribution of the power between the crown prince and the king of Qin is very clear, so in the area of salt administration, the king of Qin can stuff people in, but there is definitely no one in a high position. Then, it is the most cost-effective to get rid of one of the prince's henchmen.

Interests are nothing more than weighing the gains and losses. Since it was destined not to be won from the beginning, let the other party lose, then it is considered that you have won.

After thinking about it clearly, everyone laughed, and Li Xuandao, who was in charge of government affairs, immediately made a decision, saying that he would write a letter to Shandong immediately after eating.

In line with the principle of speed, there was no drinking, and after a hasty meal, everyone dispersed. No more people were convened to discuss this matter, and these people who came today were enough to make a decision.

As for how Luo Yan knew the people of the other Qin Wangfu forces, everyone still decided to wait for the Qin Wang's class to return to the dynasty, and then meet them together with those military generals.

On the way back to Kaihuafang, Luo Yan was happy. Just now, a prompt came from the system that the first stage of his red-sleeved fragrance task was completed, and the second stage of the task was opened at the same time: showing his talent in front of Li Shimin and gaining Li Shimin's appreciation.

Well, it's quite simple to think about this task, with his own rules, I'm afraid Li Shimin should be impressed by himself at this time. As for the meeting, anyway, according to the "Book of Tang", Li Shimin will be able to return to the dynasty in July, and it will only be three months from now, which is not very long.

However, there are also things that make Luo Yan difficult, that is, what kind of talent do you want Li Shimin to see? Quan Shu or Wen Cai, this is an important question.

It stands to reason that what he is best at should be literary talent. But if you want to get Li Shimin's appreciation, it is far from enough to have literature, and if you want to successfully participate in the Xuanwumen Change, it is best to rely on power and skill to ascend to the top.

Although this is Luo Yan's shortcoming, but what kind of person is Luo Yan, he is a lucky person who has a whole book of "Tang Book" in his head, presumably under the foresight, he can still make targeted suggestions, and Luo Yan can still do it if he asks himself.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan made up his mind to read more history books before Li Shimin's class returned to the dynasty. Although this may affect the speed of the task of reading more than 10,000 books, Luo Yan is confident that there will be no delays. Recently, with the increase in reading, my ability to understand ancient texts has also increased, and I think the time limit for the next stage of tasks will be greatly extended, so it doesn't matter much.
