Chapter 977: Each has a scheming
"Sir, it's fun! Therefore, the specific issue should be finally decided between politicians! I know that this is a bit wronged, sir, but for the sake of the overall stability of our Datang to look at the whole incident, blindly retaliating will only bring endless hidden dangers to the society! ”
Wu Sansi still insisted on distorting and downplaying, which obviously angered Li Zhi again:
"At this time, do you know that it is related to the overall situation? General Wu, I don't think there's anything to discuss between us anymore, so be it! In fact, the use of the Shang Fang sword in my hand is to maintain the safety of the personnel surnamed Li of the imperial family, but when the emperor was alive, I also made it clear that I would not be involved in government affairs no matter how I am, otherwise how could I know that the surname Li would be suppressed after the first emperor ascended to heaven, and stay away from here regardless of it? That's because the Queen Mother is also a member of the royal family after all, and the conflicts between each other are still family affairs, and I, the so-called royal secretary, can only take care of outsiders and not teach outsiders to bully, but the infighting is outside my duties, do you understand? ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and stopped Wu Sansi's desire to interject:
"But alas, the infighting should not affect my personal interests and some concrete and normal business practices regarding the execution of the Holy Will! I might as well tell you plainly, my future development is not in this world, but finally on the road of seeking immortals! And I'm not afraid to reveal to you that my master has found a way to the cultivation realm, and when the time comes, he will leave this place forever! Moreover, I had promised the Emperor before that before leaving, I would take away most of the cultivators above the master level in the cultivation world, and I would return the Pure Land in the true sense of the word to this side of the world! It's a pity that my deliberate disregard for worldly government affairs has not been respected as expected, and this lack of hospitality has greatly annoyed me and the teachers behind me! ”
After a long repetition, Li Zhi's voice paused slightly, and Wu Sansi immediately continued:
"Although I was shocked in my heart, I still want to have a verbal exchange with my husband before reporting to the Queen Mother, in fact, ......"
Li Zhi once again forcibly blocked this person's explanation:
"If General Wu doesn't have a concrete solution so far, don't talk about it anymore, I don't think it's meaningless!"
"Good! Then I'll make it clear directly! Mr. Li, what do you think of this, I will come forward and instruct those forces to compensate Mr. Li for all losses, but all those involved will be handed over to the three divisions for trial and punishment, and promise to Mr. that there will be no similar situation in the future, and if Mr. has any compensation needs, please tell me bluntly! It is not an exaggeration to put more money, this is what they should bear, and it is not an exaggeration to go bankrupt! ”
Sighing deeply, Li Zhi did not directly react to Wu Sansi's assurance, but said with some seriousness:
"Regardless of whether your martial arts family is involved or not, there are some things that I don't spit out or don't like! Do you know why this time made me so heartbroken? Do you know that for the overall development of Chang'an City, the first emperor and I talked in detail for a few days and nights? Just since the serious shortage of grain in Chang'an, I have been traveling to various parts of the south three years ago, and I am planning the current south-to-north grain transfer step by step! It was not easy to use a commercial city to attract a large number of cloth merchants from all over the country, so that the waterways and dry roads leading to all parties were actively invested in the construction and connection of various places. And borrowed freight to attract commercial transportation forces to take the initiative to carry the grain on the return trip, and this alone saved the imperial court how much expense? ”
Wu Sansi was not just superficial, how could he not know anything about this.
But I don't know what Li Zhi's intentions are next, and he doesn't dare to interrupt easily.
"It's such a great situation, but it took me years to do it, but what about you! Not to mention the blatant ganging up and wantonly robbing the normal business transactions of the trade city, that is, forcibly driving away those southerners who built the second phase of the project, which caused me a huge trouble! The reason why the south-to-north grain transfer was successful was that these people helped organize the transfer, and in order to thank them, they were willing to risk losing part of their interests and allowed them to build a new city next to the trade city! But it's good for you to break up the food plan that can ensure the future survival of our Chang'an City without asking any questions, which is why I am so angry. ”
Although he didn't believe it, Wu Sansi also knew that what Li Zhi said was true.
Because the current situation of food shortage in Chang'an City has been around for a long time, and due to the inconvenient transportation, it has not been solved for decades.
Even in the early days of Taizong, in order to alleviate the pressure of food in the capital, Luoyang was once opened up and occasionally lived.
Later, Gaozong also went to Luoyang to stay for a while every few years, and everything was for this huge problem, and he actually poured the whole country's strength into it, but it was not solved for a long time.
It is conceivable how important the solution proposed by Li Zhi is.
Such a promising effort was terminated for no reason, and thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for Li Zhi to be angry.
Wu Sansi is not ignorant of what Li Zhi has done, but including Wu Zetian, he has not summarized the fragmentary information into a whole.
In other words, no one has refined the grand plan for the future development of the entire Chang'an City to each node.
They only saw a vague shadow of the entire framework, but they couldn't find out that in the process of forming an interlocking business atmosphere, the huge problem of food supply had already been solved by magically integrating zero.
This is because Li Zhi made full use of the wisdom and wisdom of the people, skillfully combined it with the way of making money, and regarded the act of transporting grain no longer as a political task, but as a financial resource closely related to his own livelihood.
As a result, not only did it save the imperial court a lot of travel costs and the pain of mobilizing people, but the participants in the transportation volume were eager to participate.
Therefore, Wu Sansi's heart was shocked at this moment, which was by no means an exaggeration, and he admired Li Zhi's careful calculation step by step.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi changed the topic at this moment:
"It is related to the livelihood of millions of people in Chang'an City, and it is a century-old plan for the capital of the Tang Dynasty to become truly rich from then on, but it has not been ruined in the personal desires of some people and the unprovoked struggle of politicians, thus ignoring the great influence of this Tang Dynasty political and cultural center and symbolic status, and its heart can be punished! So, the specific people involved, including the Mr. Ram next to you, are among my killers! I don't think General Wu will be reluctant, right? If you make trouble with the Queen Mother, you should also be supported! ”
Ram Junmao, who has been suppressed so much that he doesn't dare to speak out, heard this, and when he heard this, he didn't look like a master on weekdays at all, and the horror on his face was mixed, and he opened his mouth tremblingly:
"Mr. Li, please also remember the mistakes of the following, and be willing to exercise the temporary supervision power of the emergency affairs entrusted to me by the Queen Mother, and help Mr. to punish all those involved, and never dare to engage in favoritism and fraud, and completely crack down on all future hidden dangers in Chang'an City!"
Since this person was sent by Wu Zetian, he naturally held a part of the privileged nature of special authority in his hands.
Li Zhi also understood that it would be more powerful for this person to exercise the punishment under the banner of the Queen Mother, but he was unwilling to let him go easily.
He ignored this person's positive statement, and instead turned his attention to Wu Sansi:
"General Wu, don't completely strip your martial arts family from it, and don't blame me for saying it in a reckless manner. Recently, the Tang Dynasty folk have circulated about the source of a series of rumors about fame and ethics against Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, I have detailed human and physical evidence here, do you want to hear it? ”
Wu Sansi shuddered, and the fear in his eyes flashed, but he was in a hurry to do so, and he somehow replied for a while.
Although he was not behind this matter, he also received an oral report from the Luoyang martial arts family who retreated to secrets.
The rumors and momentum within Chang'an City were specifically arranged by him.
Even the ram Junmao didn't know about this matter, and at this moment, Li Zhi actually exposed it mercilessly in front of this person, and the shock caused to him in his heart can be seen.
And the specific undertaker of his subordinates was Lu Qinwang, and in his eagerness, Wu Sansi had murderous intent in his heart.
As for the current ram Junmao, although he was sent by the Queen Mother, he didn't dare to report the matter to the truth, otherwise even if he, the second master of the martial arts family, was punished, this person would inevitably be wiped out in the end.
Li Zhi didn't know the twists and turns, so he would say it in front of the ram Junmao.
He was not worried about exposing the king of Jiancheng because this was the duty of the eight kings.
The people who found out these inside stories were all members of the previous Secret Guard, so although Wu Sansi had a huge influence in Chang'an City, he didn't know anything about it.
His voice was still non-stop:
"And the specific participants are still the twenty-three large and small forces I mentioned today, which shows that these people have the slightest integrity at all! General Wu, this matter is not hidden from you, just returned to Chang'an after yesterday, the eighth king revealed this matter to me, and wanted to secretly remind you through me that he did not want to investigate this matter too deeply, and shortly thereafter, the matter of the trade city came to me. So, this kind of behavior that is not enough to achieve and more than enough to fail has completely angered me, General Wu, what do you think should be done? ”
Even if Li Zhi's old face turned red, Wu Sansi also knew that he would never be able to accept it at this time:
"Everything is that Lu Qinwang is acting in the name of the martial arts, and I also hope that Mr. Li and the Eight Kings, don't be misunderstood by the superficial articles created by some people, I will definitely go to the Eight Kings to explain this matter in person! But knowing that the samurai family is being used, it needs the supervision and support of trusted people around my aunt, so the meaning of Mr. Ram's existence is extremely important to our samurai! I also ask Mr. Li to see the general situation of Chang'an City's future stability, and let go of Mr. Ram's previous unintentional move, so that the martial arts family will resolutely safeguard any interests of Mr. Li in the future! ”
Born in a super family like the martial arts, Wu Sansi is by no means a mediocre material, and in such an unfavorable situation, he still reminds Li Zhi to act in a warning way.
Once the skin is torn apart, it will cause the development of things to be difficult to control.
