"Uncle Wang Yong, of course I understand Li Heng's eagerness to win over and control Beiting. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info(.
It's just that evil money is rampant, and it brings disaster to the country and the people, and since I have seen it, I can't ignore it. Li Linfu seems to be strictly prohibited, but he has the intention of using public weapons for private purposes, which is also what he is most criticized for; Yang Guozhong and other royal relatives wantonly added fuel to the fire and fished in troubled waters, which is naturally even more despicable. In the future, if I want to make a difference, I can only use the power of the East Palace, use his heart to consolidate the power, obtain the name of righteousness, and eliminate this evil. Wang Fei explained.
"Listening to Mr. Li's meaning, if you want to settle the evil money, will it cost Su Yeju a lot of money?" Wang Yong frowned and asked.
Wang Fei's overall plan to quell the evil money is very extensive and complicated, so he did not disclose the details of the plan to anyone before meeting Li Mi today.
"If we want the saints, the East Palace, the magnates, the merchants, and the people to be satisfied, we must give some real money." Wang Fei's face did not have the pain of being about to cut the flesh: "Willing, willing, giving will be gained." Uncle Wang Yong, rest assured, in the end, we will get more than everyone else. ”
Time flies, more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. Chang'an** is even stronger, and the three-month period for exchanging bad money is about to expire.
In the early morning of March 21, Yang Guozhong, who had made proper arrangements, swaggered to the West Market under the pretext of the Jiannan Festival. When he rode his horse into the West Market, he was suddenly stopped by a large number of merchants. Before Yang Guozhong could speak, a group of officials from the Jingzhao Mansion waved sticks and tried to disperse the merchants. However, there were also many powerful samurai lurking in the merchant ranks, armed and fighting with the officials.
These warriors advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they were like well-trained border townsmen. The officials of Jingzhao Mansion did not expect such a good hand to be ambushed in the merchant ranks, and they were immediately defeated.
In the middle of the chicken, flying and dog jumping, a group of businessmen knelt on the head of Yang Guozhong's horse, holding the petition of the people densely covered with red handprints, and shouted "bad money ban disturbs the people". Because Yang Guozhong has more than 20 envoys, the businessmen don't know how to call him, so some people shouted "Please ask Yang Jieshuai to be the master of the small people", and some shouted "Ten for one, scrape the ground three feet, Yang Shilang, you have to shout for the people in front of the sage", and some people said even more nakedly, "Uncle Yang, the sage listens to you the most, you can't ignore us"......
Yang Guozhong immediately pulled the reins, and enjoyed the majesty of "surrounded by all the people" and "loved by the people" for a while, before he cleared his throat and responded: "Everyone, please get up!" The ban on bad money is indeed inconsiderate! What everyone asked, a certain has been known. I will enter the palace immediately, and ask Your Majesty to change the ban and change the course! ”
In the cheers of everyone, Yang Guozhong accepted the petition, spurred his horse, and galloped towards Daming Palace. Before he left Xishi, the manpower arranged by Li Linfu and Li Heng had already passed back the mutation of "Stopping the Horse and Petitioning" respectively.
may be afraid of Wang Fei's previous strong performance, and all kinds of people who are responsible for attracting businessmen to petition have always passed through the hot pot restaurant and not entered, so Su Yeju was not involved in the "petition farce". When the streets downstairs were disturbed, Wang Fei stood in front of the window of the private room on the third floor, pointed to Yang Guozhong in the center of the crowd, and said to Ayi Tenggena: "Yiyue, the show has begun!" ”
Yang Guozhong had just arrived at Daming Palace, and Li Linfu and Li Heng also arrived unexpectedly. When waiting for the saint to drive in the Lin De Palace, Yang Guozhong thought that Li Heng had come to beat the water dog, and his smile was even greater; Li Linfu closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about how to deal with Yang Guozhong's attack on the one hand, and speculating on Li Heng's intentions on the other; Li Heng, who was confident, was the most calm, kneeling on the soft couch without saying a word, like an old monk sitting still.
After Li Man came to the Linde Palace, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu had a fierce dispute in front of the palace, and the two quarreled about how to ban evil money.
Yang Guozhong took the petition and accused Li Linfu of being ill-thought about his strategy and banned it. In the past three months, the evil money on the market has increased instead of decreasing, and the people are unbearable; Li Linfu said that the Yang family's Hongnong Pavilion wantonly conveyed evil money and was the culprit; Yang Guozhong took out the account book and said that since the ban was issued, Hongnong Pavilion had already exchanged all the evil money at a ratio of ten to one; Li Linfu implied that the so-called petition of the people was manipulated behind the scenes; Yang Guozhong said that Jingzhao Mansion interfered with the people's petition for no reason, and Wang Jie's behavior was improper, and he should be dismissed as Jingzhao Yin's envoy......
Li Heng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that Yang Guozhong's offensive was not leaking, and secretly sighed: "Ji Wen is extremely cunning, Yang Guozhong is like a vicious tiger, and he must get rid of this winger in the future!" ”
When Li Man was upset by the quarrel between Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, he suddenly saw Li Heng get up solemnly, knelt down and said: "Enlighten the father, the sons and daughters are worried that money will endanger the people's livelihood of the country, and they have summoned the ministers of the East Palace to discuss with the sages of the court and the opposition, and they have occasional gains. There is an article of "Curing Evil Money and Sparseness", and I implore my father to approve it. ”
"My heart is good!" Li Man took the song and read it. Before reading it, he didn't expect much, but after reading a few paragraphs, his expression was happy.
"Who did this? True countryman also! Li Man suddenly remembered Song Jing who set up Chen to rectify the bad money, and sighed in his heart.
Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, who had temporarily made a truce, saw that the sage attached so much importance to Li Heng's performance, and they were shocked to realize that the situation was changing, so they stopped arguing together.
Li Man saw that Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were staring at Song Shu with burning eyes, so he glanced at Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi understood, took the recital, and gave it to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu hurriedly opened the recital and browsed it quickly, only to see that it was written: "...... To cure evil money, we must first investigate its source. What is the source of this? There is a lot of food and goods but few coins, and the people have no money to use, so they have to mint bad money privately. Why is there a scarcity of spring coins, it should be small in copper. The treasure of the country, each weight of two baht and four wires, each weight of six catties and four taels, but six catties and four taels of coarse copper, its price has been nearly 800 wen, and the cost of coinage, each minted treasure one, the country has a loss; When new coins enter the market, they are hoarded, so coins are scarce. When money is scarce, private coinage is rampant...... The root of the evil money lies in the minting of all kinds of gold and silver coins. Or ten, or hundred, or consistent, or ten. The amount of coins and the cost of minting can be reduced, but the cost of civil use can be sufficient......"
Li Linfu finished reading, holding the music in his hand, thoughtful. Yang Guozhong, who was impatiently waiting, saw that Li Linfu was delaying the performance to himself, and stretched out his hand to grab it.
Li Linfu snorted coldly and returned the song to Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi smiled helplessly and gave it to Yang Guozhong.
When Yang Guozhong struggled to read the song, Li Heng replied in a deep voice: "Father Qi, this Shu is written by Li Mi, a subordinate of the East Palace, and Wang Qi, the secretary of the Si Lang, and Wang Fei, the new science and technology jinshi, also made suggestions. ”
"Li Mi has the talent of a prime minister, and my son should treat him well." Li Man advised: "The strategy of Song Shu is very good, but there is a lot of gold and silver, and there are a lot of silk and copper coins in the left collection, but there is a slight shortage of gold and silver, how to deal with it." ”
"Enlightening the father, the Great Food and the Sogdian countries like to use gold and silver coins, Ruyiju, Suyeju and other merchants have been operating in the west for a long time, hoarding a lot of gold and silver. Two years ago, with the permission of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, Su Yeju had begun to try to mint Tingzhou silver coins, and Hu and Han merchants liked to use them. Therefore, as long as His Majesty and the Government Hall allow the official circulation of silver coins, Ruyiju and Suyeju are willing to bear the matter of exchanging evil money, and there is no need to spend a penny on Zuozang. ”
After Li Heng finished speaking, he took out several Tingzhou silver coins of different denominations from his waist and asked Gao Lishi to present them to Li Man.
Li Man pinched the silver coin and looked at it for a while, then nodded: "The casting is excellent, no less than the fineness of the official casting treasure." ”
"Ruyiju and Suyeju have a big breath! With just two shops, you want to ban evil money, it's hard to believe! Li Linfu sarcastically said: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, copper coins have been used in the world and gold and silver have been used sparingly, but it is really due to the lack of gold and silver mines in China, so it has to be done. I dare to ask Your Highness, if gold and silver coins are allowed to circulate, where will the gold and silver be minted in the future? ”
"Li Xiang, Wang **** is rich and rivals the country, and Fei Langjun's financial management ability is also famous all over the world. The two joined forces, and the bad money was still managed. As for the gold and silver used to mint coins in the future, Li Xiang did not need to worry. According to Wang ****, there are many silver mines in Jiangxi South Province, and overseas Wa countries are rich in gold and silver. A certain has been verified, and this is true. Li Heng had already memorized the countermeasures prepared by Li Mi in advance.
"If you can guarantee the source of silver ore, this is a great strategy." Li Linfu couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Li Heng's words, but thinking that Li Heng's proposal would be beneficial and harmless to himself who was caught in Yang Guozhong's attack, he extinguished his heart of arguing with the East Palace.
"Even if this strategy fails, I don't have to bear the consequences!" With such thoughts, Li Linfu turned to Yang Guozhong: "Your Majesty, Ruyiju and Su Yeju took the initiative to ask for help, and their hearts are commendable." Hongnong Pavilion is rich and rich, and it should also be worried about the country! ”
"Yang Qing ......" As soon as Li Man spoke, Yang Guozhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, and pleaded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Hongnong Pavilion is not as good as Yiju and Suyeju, only in Guanzhong and Yizhou, the shop is full of silk and copper coins, and there are no gold and silver coins available." ”
"Father, it is enough to prohibit evil money from Ruyiju and Suyeju, and there is no need to embarrass Hongnong Pavilion. No matter how much Hongnong Pavilion earns, it is all the fat powder money of the concubine lady. To control evil money, how can you use the concubine's own money. Yang Guozhong was reluctant to contribute, and Li Heng was so happy that he didn't let him get a piece of the pie!
"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true!" Yang Guozhong hurriedly agreed.
"What Wu'er said is very good, my Datang treasury is full, and let the businessmen contribute, it is an exception, how can I use the lady's money again." Li Man and Li Heng became more and more satisfied with his words and deeds today: "Brother slave, do you think you can make an edict according to this?" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to ask His Royal Highness the Prince. Only then can it be decided whether the edict can be issued. ”
"Quasi-play!" In terms of governing the country, Li Man still trusts Li Linfu quite a lot.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, Wang **** and Wang Fei have been working hard, don't they want anything else?" Li Linfu never believed that there were sages in the world who had no desires and no desires.
"Father Qi, as Li Xiang expected, both of them have something to implore Your Majesty to decide." Li Heng did not mince words.
"Oh? Let's hear it. Li Man said with interest.
