Chapter 1826: The Highest Realm
Chang'an sells well, Luoyang sells even better, and Luoyang issues more bonds than Chang'an.
Luoyang has a unique geographical advantage, all the operations are carried out around Luoyang, the official camp of Li Yifu has to go out of Luoyang, and the officials in Luoyang can go back from it, so there are actually more corrupt officials in Luoyang, much more than Chang'an, Chang'an is still stared at after all, and there are many landlords in Luoyang, and there are many scholars.
The situation in Luoyang is the same as in Chang'an, first those corrupt officials began to buy government bonds, which led to this trend, causing more people to come to buy government bonds.
The warehouses of the country immediately became full.
But these two places alone are not enough, after all, it is worth 10 million yuan of grain, and it is calculated as ten cents and a bucket, which is really not a small amount!
Bozhou!
"Is that okay?"
Cheng Chuliang sat under a big tree, looking at the people queuing up to buy government bonds in front of him, only to feel that his outlook on life had been reversed!
When he first learned the news, he also thought that the court was poor and crazy!
But now it seems that the people are crazy.
Isn't this national bond just the court borrowing money from the people, he, as a person in the system, thinks that whoever borrows is stupid, the official has two mouths, then the court is not N mouths, what is said today can be said in another way tomorrow, you believe it is better to believe me.
But that's how amazing it is!
And this place is even more exaggerated than both, and every time this national debt reaches a state or county, it is robbed by people.
The people in the Jin Bank and the Yuan Bank were simply too busy.
I also had to recruit laborers temporarily to help deliver food, and I had to lose that there were more displaced people, and there was really no shortage of laborers.
This is even more exaggerated than imagined.
Because many smugglers don't know where to transport the grain to the later stage, there are robbers everywhere, as if the world is about to be in chaos, they can only hide the grain in the local area first, and then talk about the situation, moreover, many big landowners are engaged in smuggling, and now that it is like this, can they not be weak-minded, if the court wants to investigate thoroughly, it is also possible to find out their heads, they are also hiding.
This hiding is only a stopgap measure, and it can't last long.
Just when everyone was worried, the state suddenly sold treasury bonds.
At the same time, the largest smuggling group, the bandit syndicate, took the lead in buying state bonds, and the people at the bottom looked at it, and the people above went to buy it, and they were not afraid of losing so much grain, and what am I afraid of, we will buy it too. And those landlords, seeing that their partners are buying, if they don't buy themselves, when these guys launder all the money, it is equivalent to pushing them down in front, which is not good. What they don't know, however, is that they, the landlords, are the real mainstays, because they are the ones who have the most food today.
The robbers were busy buying state bonds, and when the people saw that the government had really lent the grain, their hopes increased greatly, as if it was just a moment's effort, and the world would be peaceful!
Li Siwen looked at his saber and felt that this thing didn't seem to have any money to use.
The craziest thing is Yangzhou, in fact, Yangzhou is also the place where the most national bonds are issued, more than Luoyang, but it was still robbed in an instant.
Yangzhou's smuggling group, that is created by Han Yi, the materials here are also the most abundant, Tan Dong They have long been ready, as long as Yuan Bank starts to sell national bonds, no matter what, first fill the team to build momentum for national bonds.
This commodity, the more people buy, the more popular it must be, this law comes, later generations of businessmen often use this trick, their own hire some tricks to queue up.
Moreover, Yangzhou is the base camp of Han Yi, and the rich people in Yangzhou believe in Han Yi, and they definitely do not believe in the imperial court.
This treasury bond is becoming more and more popular as it is sold, just like a stock, and all the treasury bonds worth 10 million yuan are sold out, and this treasury bond has changed from a joke to a fashion, and then to a myth, and it has changed so quickly, that no one really expected.
I can only say that Han Yi is amazing!
Even if he farts, everyone says it's fragrant, and those so-called smart people want to kill themselves.
After Li Zhi learned the news, he really had mixed feelings and mixed feelings, he knew the reasons for buying these treasury bonds, it is conceivable how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials there were, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have never been so many corrupt officials, Li Zhi really felt terrible, what kind of group of people do I raise, I still have to borrow this money from them, there is nothing more aggrieved in the world.
Daheungzenji Temple.
"Now I'm afraid that someone will tell the child that Han Yi can sell a night pot for 100 yuan, and the child will believe it."
Cui Jijian was a little disappointed, and he still can't believe this fact. The imperial court has reached this point, and when the people are asked to borrow money, so many people are eager to lend money to the imperial court, and no one will believe it if they want to say it. He originally thought that this was just Han Yi's false move, but he didn't expect that this was a big move, he was really ashamed of himself, even if he was asked to play now, he didn't know how to play, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Cui Pingzhong smiled: "Actually, this is not difficult to understand, you just have to think carefully, who would be in a hurry to exchange a large amount of grain for a portable bond." ”
Cui Jijian suddenly came to his senses and said, "Daddy means that the imperial court is hiding their stolen money for such corrupt officials?" ”
"It should be." Cui Pingzhong nodded.
"This ......!"
Even if Cui Jijian broke his head, he couldn't have imagined that Li Zhi would do this, because it was even more incredible.
The officials were greedy for the money of the state and the people, and as a result, the state also covered up for their dirty money, and paid the interest on the stolen money, and no dynasty would do such a heartless thing.
Cui Pingzhong said: "For Your Majesty, the throne is the most important, and nothing is more important than this. But for Han Yi, these bonds can ensure that he has an unshakable position in the past three years. ”
"Yes!"
Cui Jijian said: "If Han Yi can turn the tide, then everyone must believe that as long as Han Yi is there, then the bonds of this country will not be invalid, on the contrary, if Han Yi is not there, then the imperial court is likely to lose trust in the people." Han Yi relied on a national bond to tie the interests of the people of the world to himself. ”
Cui Pingzhong said: "Not only that, but he also holds the power tightly in his own hands, besides him, who in the court can pay off this debt, before that, the treasury is in debt, and it has also exempted taxes for a year, even if Han Yi gives way to you now, do you dare to take it?" ”
Cui Jijian shook his head, although he was arrogant, he was still quite self-aware, and he really couldn't think of a way to repay his debts.
Cui Pingzhong said with a smile: "What everyone pursues is nothing more than fame, fortune, and power, and it is not easy to get one of them, but Han Yi's move to take all three into his pocket, not only that, but he also laid a solid foundation for the next step." ”
Cui Jijian frowned and said, "What's next?" ”
Cui Pingzhong said: "You have been curious, why Han Yi did not make a move after streamlining the officials, in fact, he did not make a move, he was buying time for the landlord to annex the land." ”
Cui Jijian was surprised: "Annexation of land? Why? Why did he help the landlords, the gentry? ”
"He is not helping the gentry and landlords, but fighting the gentry and the landlords."
Cui Pingzhong nodded and said: "As far as the situation at that time is concerned, the people can no longer live, but the landlord has a large amount of grain in his hands, this is the best time for the landlord to annex the land, it has been common throughout the ages, but in the past, it was because of natural disasters, and this time it was manipulated by Han Yi behind the scenes." As a result, a large number of people will lose their livelihoods, which provides manpower for merchants. Moreover, it was the gentry and landlords who were anti-business at the beginning, which was also the beginning of the crisis, but in the end it was the businessmen who saved the people, so that Han Yi could reverse the unfavorable situation of the businessman's reputation in one fell swoop, which is very important, the businessman has been pressed by others, just because the people have no good impression of the businessman. If I'm not mistaken, his next step was to guide the merchants to take in the vagrants while pouring dirty water on the gentry. ”
Cui Jijian heard it in a cold sweat and said, "He really calculated everyone in the world with this move." ”
Cui Pingzhong said with a smile: "If there were no such great interests in front of him, how could he collapse his father's grave." ”
Cui Jijian sighed and said, "It's impossible for the child to defeat him." ”
Don't say he can't think of it, even if he can think of this kind of plan, he doesn't dare to play it, it's really terrible, if he makes a slight mistake, he will really become a sinner for the ages.
Cui Pingzhong smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you don't need to divide the victory or defeat with him, it doesn't make any sense, you should play a role in it and lead Datang to become richer and stronger, so that you can be worthy of your life." ”
Cui Jijian raised his head and said, "But Daddy, do you think Han Yi did this?" Many people are losing their lives because of this. ”
Cui Pingzhong pondered for a moment and said, "If you are concerned about the change in the situation, Han Yi is indeed losing his conscience by doing this, and he will not compromise the means to achieve the goal. But do you think these can be avoided? In fact, this step taken by Li Yifu will definitely happen in the future, isn't the queen using the landlord to fight the businessman, and the contradiction between the landlord and the businessman will always break out, and the businessman must cross this hurdle if he wants to rise. It's just that Han Yi let this happen in advance, but this is at least under his control, otherwise, the consequences will be a hundred times more serious than this, and this also allows us to learn a lesson, it is absolutely impossible for the country to compete with the people for profit, but I think that this disaster is more beneficial than disadvantageous. ”
......
......
Liangyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, now that all the national bonds have been sold, Weichen suggests that the local government can open the door as soon as possible, so as to completely stabilize the situation."
After listening to Han Yi's suggestion, Li Zhi showed hesitation and said, "As for those officials, how dare you ask me to deliver food to them." ”
Maybe they bought the treasuries.
Han Yi replied: "But the imperial court does not have the ability to replace all the officials now, even if it is to be replaced, it will take time, and they still need to be used at present." However, Wechen has an idea that can temporarily prevent them from embezzlement. ”
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "What is the idea?" ”
Han Yi said: "At present, the grain exchanged for the national debt is all in the gold bank and the yuan bank, and the imperial court can directly deposit the grain in the gold bank and the yuan bank, and order the gold bank and the yuan bank to allocate how much grain to the local government, so that every account is recorded, and the gold bank and the yuan bank do not dare to be charged with corruption and perversion of the law for this little profit." ”
Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "This is feasible." ”
Han Yi said again: "There is another point, the people have lost trust in the government, and we don't know who is doing the trick, in order to regain the people's trust in the government, Weichen suggested that the people should choose officials from the local government and temporarily take charge of the government." ”
"And the people are going to choose?" Li Zhi exclaimed.
He didn't even know how it worked.
Han Yi nodded and said: "Weichen believes that there are still some upright officials in various states and counties, but we don't know, but the local people must know that Your Majesty can let Cheng Chuliang lead the royal police to various states and counties to do a spot check, that is, to ask the people which local official they want most to temporarily take over the government, and if he gets the highest vote, let him take care of it first, and wait until the imperial court recovers, and then decide as appropriate." ”
"Okay, just do it." Li Zhi nodded, he has lost confidence in the local officials now, you let him choose, he doesn't know who to choose, he also closes his eyes, but you have to go to investigate carefully, it takes time, but they don't have time now, the government has to open the door quickly and control the situation, anyway, it is a blind election, it is better to choose a person who is supported by the people, in this way, at least the people can trust the government, and just randomly check some people, it does not take too much time.
Li Ji said suddenly: "According to the news from Cheng Chuliang and them, there are still many displaced people in various prefectures and counties, and the government is open, and the displaced people are not dispersed, but it is still useless." ”
Han Yi immediately said: "I have also thought about this, the imperial court can directly order that all the government-run workshops in various states and counties are entrusted to the gold bank to be sold to the merchants, as for the way of sale, it is also similar to that of Chang'an, as long as the merchants can ensure that the workshop is full for one year, give the homeless people a mouthful of food, and pay a certain deposit to the gold bank, this workshop will be given to the merchants." In this way, merchants can be attracted to the states and counties to solve the problem of displaced people. ”
Li Zhi said distressedly: "This is all built with state money." ”
Didn't all the taxes at the beginning be used to build these workshops, Li Zhi is now very aggrieved.
Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, this reluctant child can't trap the wolf, if you want businessmen to rush to various states and counties, you can only do this." ”
"I know that I just have some ..... Forget it, you just have to call the shots. Li Zhi nodded, hating Li Yifu to the bone marrow in his heart, and no dynasty had ever done such a humiliating thing.
Han Yi said again: "Your Majesty, the people no longer trust the government, but the reputation of the Civil Security Bureau has not been hit, Weichen suggested reducing the personnel of the government and taking the opportunity to build civil security bureaus in various places, responsible for maintaining law and order, and can also supervise each other with the government." ”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, this is long overdue, now the royal training camp has trained a lot of royal police, and there is no longer a shortage of manpower, it just so happens that Cheng Chuliang is over there, let him be in charge of this matter." ”
"Yes."
Han Yi said again: "Weichen has another request. ”
Li Zhi said: "What request?" ”
Han Yi said: "Now that the crisis has almost been resolved, Weichen hopes to finish this last thing and resign and go home." ”
Li Zhi and Li Ji were stunned at the same time.
I didn't react for a long time.
"What did you say?" Li Zhi asked.
Han Yi said very seriously: "Weichen wants to temporarily resign and go home first." ”
Li Zhi was surprised: "Why? ”
Han Yi sneered: "Because Wechen was traveling with his wife and children, this is what Wechen had promised them a long time ago, but the country is in trouble, so Wechen is naturally duty-bound, and now the minister's affairs are almost the same, but the minister's wife and children are still waiting for the minister over there, so Wechen wants to ......!" ”
"Shut up."
Li Zhi pointed at Han Yi, gritted his teeth and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to use the word 'travel' in front of me, otherwise, Hugh blames me for not being emotional, and when I hear these two words now, it is a fire in my belly." Also, I can tell you clearly about the resignation, don't even think about it. ”
"Then it's a long vacation."
"Nope."
Han Yi said: "But Your Majesty, Wechen has promised his wife and children, and Wechen can't break his trust with them." ”
Li Zhi said: "You call them to Chang'an, and I will tell them." ”
“......!”
Han Yi smiled awkwardly, do you think you are very hanging? I didn't dare to do this, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get off the stage without clothes, so I said: "Then Your Majesty, the minister will take a step back, you have to take back this book, and the minister should go back to the household book." ”
Li Zhi was puzzled when he heard this: "How many people want to be this Shangshu Ling, but I still don't want to let it, you still don't want to be it?" I'd love to hear your reasoning. ”
"Because I'm so tired!"
Han Yi replied immediately.
After half a pillar of incense.
"Your Majesty--- Your Majesty---- Weichen really can't do it, I don't believe you can go back and see the ..... of the minister's calligraphy."
"Oops! Shang Shuling, don't shout, go back, go back. ”
Zhang Desheng pushed Han Yi outside, and then closed the door.
"Wow! Your Majesty is also too unreasonable, and said that he would unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”
Han Yiwu didn't give up and shouted excitedly.
Li Ji on the side said: "Don't act anymore, now Your Majesty trusts you very much, and it will be fine." ”
Han Yi was stunned and said, "Sikong thinks I'm acting? ”
Li Ji said with a smile: "You are just afraid that the power in your hands will be too great and cause Your Majesty's suspicion." ”
Han Yi snorted: "Sikong, you can also afford me, I really didn't think of it so long-term, I'm going to talk about it here today, anyway, this Shangshu Ling, I won't continue to do anything, when I'm a, one person is in charge of six departments, I'll go crazy, at most it's the Hubu Shangshu, I won't do one more, Your Majesty doesn't agree, I will say this every day, I will never back down on this matter, whoever wants to do it." ”
Li Ji was surprised: "Are you really tired?" ”
Han Yi said: "Of course, I have long said that I have always envied you, lying at home every day and looking at the yellow book, oh no, the book of soldiers, when the weather is good, playing chess, playing goalball, and the country has an accident, I only come out to show my face, this is simply the highest level of being an official." ”
This kid really can't talk.
Li Jili didn't bother to pay attention to him, shook his head, and walked towards the imperial city in a leisurely manner.
Han Yi pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "I really look down on people!" Hmph, based on the current situation, do you need to be in front of the tiring Shang Shuling? Even if my brother is an idle official, it's not up to me to call the shots. ”
