Chapter 269: There is no such thing as a free lunch
The family is often very cruel and unsympathetic.
But in many things, they are very measured.
Just like this time, those rich people who have been enduring for a long time are all showing their frightening fangs, waiting to bite down on the bodies of those students.
The Maison has the same purpose, but there is no doubt about it.
In comparison, the interest rate of several major families is the lowest, and it is surprisingly maintained at fifty percent, if it is said that it has not been discussed, the ghost will believe it.
In addition to the relatively low interest rate, the family did not force those students to go into debt.
It can be said that the students who can get the loan from the family are undoubtedly the happiest, at least for the moment they don't have to worry about their lives like other colleagues.
There were no forced debts, no killings, which also caused the three divisions to be unable to crack down on them more severely.
Because this time, the three divisions went north, under the slogan of justifying the law.
The family is very cunning and unwilling to fail, and they are powerless to stop the downsizing of personnel, so they thought of another way.
But, so what?
"All students who participated in the loan will be banned from participating in the scientific examination for ten years!"
Don't you have the ability? Isn't there a lot of ideas? Then give it a try and see who has the best idea.
Without these students in Datang, there are still more talents that can emerge, but there are so many more students in your family, and dragging you can also drag you to death.
"Your Majesty's strategy is afraid that it will cause a backlash from the family, everything can be clicked, I believe the family should be able to see what Your Majesty means." Fang Xuanling said sadly, Li Yuanji's suppression of the family has never been interrupted.
In all sorts of ways, whenever there is an opportunity, he will intervene.
Donate food, cut officials, and now grasp this handle that is not a handle.
The ban on students who participate in the examination of borrowed money seems to be a matter of credibility on the surface, but in fact, Li Yuanji's sentence not only forcibly cut off the preparation of the parents of the world, but also determined the fate of these students in this life.
said it was ten years, but ten years later, will the imperial court still hire them?
When countless descendants come up one after another, who will hire these 'old guys' with stains on their backs?
"The minister is not interceding for them, but the Tang Dynasty is not completely stable now, and it is not easy to make a big move." Seeing Li Yuanji looking at him with a strange gaze, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to continue to explain.
"The family, like a leech attached to Datang's body, if you move him, you will feel pain, if you don't move him, you will keep sucking your blood until there is no blood for them to suck, and at this time, they will change someone to continue to suck blood, and as the predecessors who have raised them for many years, whether they are dead or alive, what does it have to do with them?" Li Yuanji said lightly.
Unreservedly compare the family to leeches, this metaphor is also extremely vivid, the family has gradually grown since the two Jin Dynasty, and now the dynasty has changed so much, but the family is getting stronger and stronger, which is the result of hundreds of years of blood sucking.
Li Yuanji didn't have any clever means, nor did he have such noble thoughts, his eyes released a fine light, and he said fiercely: "I only know that long pain is better than short pain, I have already found a suitable place for them, if they refuse to leave on their own, then don't blame me for completely destroying them." ”
"Your Majesty refers to commerce?" In front of the three ministers and ministers, Fang Xuanling didn't care about the scene at the moment, and directly talked about the future with Li Yuanji.
Although it is not very respectful, the disposal of the family is particularly important, which is related to the stability of Datang in the future.
It's also about what the Maison should do next?
Isn't the reason why the family is trying their best to do it because they can't feel a sense of security in the current days?
"Money and power, you can only choose one, I think they will like money more, so I helped them make this decision!" Li Yuanji nodded directly and said with great confidence.
Money and power cannot coexist at the same time.
This is the result of Li Yuanji's thinking during these days.
When money and power come together, it also means lawlessness.
Power is the most important symbol of a country, and it is naturally impossible to give it to others easily.
Therefore, only money is left for the family, and a businessman with money but no power may have some influence on the imperial court, but it is definitely not related to the general direction.
And, if necessary, in another way.
Didn't the ancient times always like to raid the house? Let them do their best to make money, and then wait for them to make mistakes.
"Got it!" Fang Xuanling nodded, it was a little inappropriate to deal with it like this, but there was nothing wrong with it.
It is certainly uncomfortable for the family, but compared to extinction, such a result is obviously good and acceptable.
has faintly become the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he must also work this issue.
The operation of Taipingfang gave the imperial court a new understanding of taxation, and with the opening of Zhenbei Academy, a steady stream of talents flowed into the imperial court, and it was not very difficult in terms of taxation.
Obviously, this result was preferred by the imperial court, which increased its own income while weakening the influence of the family.
"As for the others, deal with them according to the law, catch those who should be caught, and kill those who should be killed!" Li Yuanji looked at the other three and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the students' loans?" Li Gui asked, there were too many people offended on this trip, and he didn't want to continue to offend so many people.
"It is only natural to repay the debts, and carefully check the source of the money, and if it comes from a clean source, let them repay it to the heirs who have the right to inherit it at three times the interest of the bank, for a period of one year, and if they are unable to repay it after one year, they will sell themselves to them. If the way is not clean, all the fines will be copied, and the money owed will also be three times the interest of the money bank, and the deadline will be one year, and it will be returned to the court. For these students who are crazy about borrowing, Li Yuanji also does not have any good feelings.
After reading the books of sages for so many years, I have forgotten all the words that a gentleman is not a food to rub, what is the use of keeping such a person?
……
"What about the matter, it's just such a thing, how it is, Zheng Gong will weigh it himself!" In order to better complete Li Yuanji's deployment, Fang Xuanling decided to go to the doors of several major families to talk about it in person.
The words that the emperor said during the day today were told to these people that the benefits and consequences were all on the table, and as for how to choose, it depends on how the individual chooses.
"Fang Gong, did Your Majesty really say that?" Zheng Shanguo is a little unwilling, the Zheng family, which has been in business for so many years, is it going to change careers now?
"Self!" Fang Xuanling nodded, he is the first powerful minister of the dynasty, is it necessary to lie in this regard?
"Now that the Wang family has transformed into the breeding industry, where should the Zheng family go?" Zheng Shanguo looked confused, in addition to power, the Zheng family's advantageous grain, sitting on the Central Plains granary, the Zheng family has always been the first of the best families in terms of grain reserves, otherwise this time would not have donated so much grain, grain merchants, is definitely the most profitable industry in this era, but with the previous experience, a little disaster, the emperor will openly and secretly force him to donate grain, no matter how much money the Zheng family makes, it will definitely not be able to afford it.
And with the opening of the regular closing position, there will be more and more grain into the warehouse in the future, and the role of the standing closing position is not only for disaster relief, but also for the release of a batch of grain from time to time every year to balance the market price.
The more grain in the warehouse, the lower the price of grain, Zheng Shanguo, who was worried and bitter, knew that the Zheng family had lost the opportunity and qualification to resist, so he could only sigh and say: "Your Majesty has ever said the time?" ”
"Unspoken!" Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The old man has something to remind Gong Zheng that the Wang family has fully cooperated with the royal family, why don't the Zheng family also go and ask?" Maybe you can find a suitable industry. ”
"Thank you for reminding me, the old man will arrange it." Zheng Shanguo, who was helpless, could only nod.
"In this way, the old man took his leave first......
Looking at Fang Xuanling's departing figure, Zheng Shanguo instantly felt that he seemed to be much older.
As the intermediary liaison, the initial support for Li Shimin was also negotiated by Fang Xuanling.
Now, the family is still the same family, and Fang Xuanling is still the same Fang Xuanling, but the world has changed.
sighed helplessly, what else could he do except sigh?
"Father, do we really want to compromise?" Zheng Qi clenched his fists tightly, and he was also very dissatisfied and angry with this result.
Zheng Shanguo glanced at his son, shook his head helplessly, and said, "What if you don't compromise?" The family has been defeated, from the day the big camp cooperated with him, it has been defeated, completely defeated, and there is no chance to rise again. ”
"Father......" Looking at his father's lost expression, Zheng Qi had a faint anger in his heart.
"Qi'er, this time, I'll leave it to you to deal with, remember, food can only be incidental, and the Zheng family's industry must not be food." As the saying goes, knowing a son is better than a father, Zheng Shanguo directly handed over this matter to Zheng Qi, hoping to interrupt his anger.
"Father......" Zheng Qi cried out in a choked voice.
"Let's go......" Zheng Shanguo waved his hand, then turned around and walked back, muttering to himself: "The family can't fight him, and it will never be able to fight him in this life." ”
What prestige? What status?
In front of the army, all this is a floating cloud.
The Zheng family, including other families, doesn't have their own cronies in the army?
Yes, not only that, but there are many.
There are those who are supported by them, there are also the children of the family, and there are also some descendants of the family.
Taken together, the army under control is not to mention 100,000, at least 20,000 or 30,000.
But what's the use of the army? Li Shimin's ten legions were all defeated, and the powerful Qi army had already broken everyone's will to resist.
Coupled with the treatment of the Qi army, the current army, except for the Qi army, is all thinking about doing a good job in the tasks arranged by the imperial court, and is waiting to be the first batch of adaptations.
The treatment of the Qi army, but it is the envy of the whole world, in addition to the treatment, there are so many advanced equipment, there are military merits in the war, and there is no need to die in the war, such a good thing, everyone wants it.
Rebellion is no way to live, and the pressure is forced to be urgent, which is equivalent to rebellion, and the body of the family cannot withstand the swords and guns of the Qi army.
Dishonest? What else?
