Cui Chuzhi, who was sitting on the side, could only shake his head, Zhao Hongzhi replied in a proper manner, but according to Yang Chong's frank personality, he would definitely fight back; Yang Chong smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Zhao is indeed a good official who does practical things, and he dares to say bluntly, since there are more than a dozen in Chang'an City, then there are at least sixty or seventy in Hebei, Jiangnan, Henan, Bingzhou and other places, so please say it one by one." Wang Gong, you come to record it, don't miss any one. ”

Huangfu Wuyi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What is Guogong going to do?" ”

Yang Chong said bluntly: "Lord Zhao is right, from a long-term point of view, any wealthy family should not monopolize the officialdom, but also monopolize the shopping mall, I will ask the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to draw up a plan, within three years of restoring the entire territory of the Great Sui, including the Hongnong Yang family, the domestic family shall not own a quarter of the national production of a certain industry, and shall not raise private soldiers and privately manufacture weapons." These dozens of our families are leading families, and there are countless high-ranking officials, so it is natural to take the initiative to take the lead. ”

Huangfu Wuyi was dumbfounded, once Yang Chong pacified all the powerful and powerful, all the workshops under his name would be owned in addition to rewarding the powerful, and the rest would be state-owned, and there would be no need for private soldiers. But the major families will inevitably suffer a fatal blow, a family's benevolence and morality are only superficial, paving bridges and roads, doing good deeds, in order to maintain a superior status and the interests of all parties, which does not need money, and a family without wealth is purely a scholarly family.

Zhao Hongzhi's face lost blood, as long as he reported the list, the wealthy families on the list would regard him as a thorn in his side, and turn his face into an enemy, not to mention the promises he had promised before. Yang Chong was not in a hurry when he sat on the chair, Yang Chong didn't expect anything to happen today, but he was scaring Zhao Hongzhi half-truthfully, if the five surnames and seven hopes were so easy to deal with, the two generations of kings of Yang Jian and Yang Guang would not have tossed the country away.

Fang Yanzao stood up and spoke in time: "Yue Guogong, the list is related to the clan level, Lord Zhao must not be able to choose for a while, it is better to give up for half a month; If Lord Zhao can't hand over the list by then, he will not forget Li Tang and deliberately embarrass the court, and it will not be too late to discuss the crime. ”

Yang Chong looked at Zhao Hongzhi: "What does Lord Zhao think?" ”

Zhao Hongzhi is also a resourceful person, knowing that Yang Chong will never kill himself because he can't get the list, at most he will be dismissed, so he happily agreed. Early the next morning, Zhao Hongzhi's family came to the left-behind division to report that Zhao Hongzhi suddenly fell seriously ill and asked for two months of leave, and Nayan Yuanwei, who was on duty, immediately approved; Yuan Wei understood that Yang Chong's attention was on Luoyang and Du Fuwei, who had already arrived at Wuguan, and as long as Zhao Hongzhi resigned in two months, the matter would be closed in the end.

The ten-mile long pavilion was noisy with gongs and drums, the military discipline was solemn, and the army and the people were greeting the ranks of the Jianghuai army, and Yang Chong was the first time to see Du Fuwei. Perhaps it was a long and hard life, Du Fuwei was two years younger than Yang Chong, he looked at least ten years older than Yang Chong, and his bronzed complexion stood there like a straight gun, full of tenacity and bloodthirsty taste. Du Fuwei respected Yang Chong very much, considering that he was the king of Chu, he did not call Yang Chong the prince of the country like others, but called the prime minister, so as not to be misunderstood.

Listening to Du Yan's introduction of the new political structure, Du Fuwei learned that Yang Chong did not appoint Shang Shu to shoot the monk Shang Shucheng, and he immediately had a good impression; For the two candidates recommended by Yang Chong, Duhu Huaien, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Cui Kaiyuan, the left chief of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Du Fuwei said that there was no problem, and it was agreed that Cui Kaiyuan would be the servant, and Duhu Huaien would be the Shangshu and the Ministry of Labor.

Yang Chong immediately introduced the rest of the officials to Du Fuwei, including Taichangqing Cui Minshou, Guangluqing Yang Hao, Weiwei Liang Shuo, Zong Zhengqing Yang Gang, Taifuqing Zheng Yuanshou, Dali Qing Wei Yunqi, Hongluqing Li Xiaochang, Si Nongqing Murong Zhengze, Taifu Secretary Du Zhenglun, Guozijian Wang Tong, Dushui Supervisor Dou Luda, and Shaofu Supervisor Fuqugu. Du Fuwei was also taken aback when he learned that Li Xiaochang was a member of the Li Tang royal family, and his evaluation of Yang Chong in his heart went to a higher level.

When he arrived at the political affairs hall, Du Fuwei met with Nayan Yuanwei, who was in charge of Menxia Province, Yang Wang, Zhongshu Ling, Du Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Duo, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Shangshu Yuan Wuji of the Military Department, Fang Yanzao, Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Cui Chuzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Rites Department, and Wang Shuju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate. In the joke, he learned that in addition to Yang Chong, the political affairs hall maintained nine people, and when Yang Chong was not there, Du Fuwei was really dumbfounded, didn't he say that the power of the political affairs hall in some places was greater than that of Yang Chong, the prime minister and privy envoy?

Yang Wang smiled and let Du Fuwei into his seat and said: "Brainstorming is the basis for a team not to make mistakes. There are many miscellaneous things in official affairs, and each of us bears a little burden, and the Yue Guogong is relaxed, and we are also relaxed. ”

Du Fuwei completely believed it at this time, Yang Chong really wanted to let him do something, if he was in Shangshu Province according to the original six parts, he was afraid that he would have to carry the burden in less than three days. Du Fuwei saluted everyone and said: "Thank you Prime Minister and you for your love, but I am not familiar with many things in Chang'an, can you let Shang Shufu shoot Cui Kaiyuan to attend the meeting on my behalf at the beginning?" ”

Yang Chong waved his hand and said: "There is no need for that, Yang Zhongshu and a few Shangshu are originally in charge of Shangshu Province, and if there is a difficulty, ask them for advice, and each of us will never come to the meeting." There is one thing that I am very sorry for, since most of the houses have a plan, I can only give you the house that Li Yuan gave to Xiao Yu, and the five hundred guards you brought will set up a military camp outside the city; In addition, if Kan Ling does not return to the Jianghuai Army, it is better to serve as a military post in Chang'an. ”

Yang Chong's words came out of his original intention, if Du Fuwei took five hundred elite soldiers to dangle around Chang'an City every day, nothing would happen in the end. In another time and space, why did Li Yuan suspect Du Fuwei and let Li Xiaogong frame Du Fuwei and Kan Ling as the masterminds behind Fu Gongyou's rebellion, and killed the two, a big reason was worry; Worried that one day, Du Fuwei suddenly had a bad heart and caused an incident in Chang'an.

Du Fuwei felt Yang Chong's domineering, and it was a big requirement to camp outside the city, and Du Fuwei was also a tiger general who was born and died, so he laughed and said: "Just do what the prime minister says." ”

What is strange is that from the next day, Du Fuwei did not see Yang Chong in the political hall, it was like this for several days, Yuan Wei and others seemed to be very used to it, no one mentioned this matter, and when they encountered an official document that really needed to be handled by Yang Chong, they sent someone to send it to the Yueguo Mansion. Du Fuwei wondered in his heart, returned to Shangshu Province, and couldn't help but ask Cui Kaiyuan.

Cui Kaiyuan said with a strange vision: "Yue Guogong likes to investigate things, and is not interested in the process, I heard that he has inspected various places in Chang'an in the past two days. ”
