Chapter 575: The gains outweigh the losses
Just when Hou Junji led a large army to conquer the Western Regions, frightening the Western Turkic Khan to set up a valley and flee thousands of miles, Li Shimin, the emperor of Chang'anli, the capital division, did not want to stay in Chang'an again.
Li Shimin has just returned to Chang'an for less than two years and wants to visit Luoyang, what to say about patrolling, in fact, he is tired of staying in one place and wants to go out to play. Yan Lide, who was destined to be a master craftsman, first inspected the summer resort along the way and built a palace.
"Cheng Qian, it seems that you will have to be imprisoned again next year." Wu Yuanqing reclined on the hammock under the shade of the tree and said leisurely.
"Yes, you can't go out of the palace at any time to play at that time." Li Chengqian sat on the stone bench, holding half a chilled watermelon, and said with a shake and a sigh while digging and eating it with a spoon.
"By the way, I heard that this year's grain transportation was ordered by your father to be handed over to the water master to be responsible?" Wu Yuanqing remembered what he occasionally heard from his cheap father.
"Yes, I don't know what my father thinks, this kind of thing is still in charge of the water master, in previous years, wasn't it all the Cao Yun Division who was in charge, and the government assisted along the way?" Li Chengqian wondered.
"Maybe your father wants to take advantage of the next year to visit Luoyang, and by the way, go to the beach to see how mighty the sailors across the sea are." Wu Yuanqing said.
"Maybe." Li Chengqian nodded.
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Wu Yuanqing smiled bitterly, is this kid really stupid or pretending to be confused, didn't he hear what he was talking nonsense?
How could Li Shimin transfer the sailor from the south to the Jiaodong Peninsula because he wanted to see the sailor, now the sea can be said to account for half of the Tang Dynasty's trade material circulation, if there is no sailor at sea to suppress, it may cause many covetous eyes.
The Arabs don't say, and those small countries in Tianzhu that have been divided are also very hot, the Tang sailor is here, and he doesn't dare to let go of a fart, but once the sailor is gone, he will definitely warm up and can't help but grab some meat to eat.
If it weren't necessary, Li Shimin would definitely not have transferred the sailors, but now that he has been transferred, it is not just as simple as taking a look and reviewing it.
Thinking of the intensifying tripartite war between Silla Baekje and Goguryeo, Wu Yuanqing felt that the transfer of the water division by the emperor was the rhythm of the Tang Dynasty's preparation to send troops.
Because Chen Dade was ordered by the emperor to mediate for the three families, the three families still had no intention of stopping.
Of course, Li Shimin sent people to mediate, but after all, the suzerainty sent an envoy to come, even if the three of you are pretending, you should stop fighting for a few days, but no, after Chen Dade went to the staff, how should the three families fight, and they will abide by the truce requested by the suzerain, and the fight will continue to be hot.
Even Silla who asked the Tang Dynasty to send someone to mediate was like this, which was too faceless. Li Shimin must have felt that he was being slighted, and he panicked in his heart.
Whoever dares to let Li Shimin die, Li Shimin doesn't mind who should die.
"Oh, by the way, yesterday the Ministry of Officials just promoted your friend Wang Xuance to the official position, do you know?" Li Chengqian suddenly talked about Wang Xuance.
"I don't know, my father didn't tell me, what's the matter, Wang Xuance has been promoted, what kind of official has he been promoted?" Wu Yuanqing asked curiously.
"History of the Governor of Seda." Li Chengqian said with a look of amazement.
"Cut, it's a long history, I thought it was a stabbing history." Wu Yuanqing pouted.
"Che, do you really dare to think that the Xiazhou Assassin has to be an official under the fourth grade, and Wang Xuance has only been an official for a few years, do you think he is qualified enough? Don't talk about him, let's just talk about you, you were already from the fourth grade of Sinong Temple Shaoqing more than ten years ago, and later there was one more from the fourth grade of Honglu Temple Shaoqing, two real positions, but after so many years, you have been promoted to a few levels, there is no first level, let alone promotion, you have no official position now." Li Chengqian said disdainfully.
"Oh, I'll go, you kid can't open any pot, don't you know why I can't be promoted to an official, brother-in-law, I don't know why I was dismissed." Wu Yuanqing glared angrily, he just said that it was just a joke, but Li Chengqian actually took him as an example.
Although now he wants to live a light life without an official body, he is still very unhappy when he is despised for more than ten years and cannot be promoted to a higher level and is still very unhappy.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and didn't answer, and then said: "It's really more popular than people, you see that Wang Xuance, who has a good relationship with you, is doing quite well on the plateau, there are two states in total, one is Gongbu Jiangda Prefecture, and one is Seda Prefecture, and it has only been a few years since the governor of Seda Prefecture under the sixth grade has been promoted to more than ten levels in a few years. Also, that Zhao Heng is one level older than Wang Xuance's official capital, and he has been transferred from Sinong Temple to Lantian as an official on the county order. That Shangguan Yi is a little worse, but he is already a secretary from the sixth grade, and he is under the management of the secretary, and it will be easier to be promoted in the future than the first two. That is, Li Yifu is a little closer, after being admitted to the Jinshi, he was awarded the official ceremony, although it is the lowest level of the four, but it is the easiest to be promoted, after all, it is the province under the door, but after so many years, it has just been boiled to the head of the province from the eighth grade. It's really impermanent."
"That means that his character is not good, otherwise why doesn't the test department give him a good evaluation." Wu Yuanqing gloated and said.
"Hey, you're not right, I heard that you and the four of them are all acquaintances, why can't you be promoted to an official, and you still laugh at you in a weird way." Li Chengqian looked at Wu Yuanqing curiously.
"What's so strange, it's because of familiarity that you know what kind of character he is, and you will gloat. Otherwise, when I was helping Shangguanyi, Zhao Heng, and Wang Xuance, even he Li Yifu also helped." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"That's why, no wonder." Li Chengqian understood.
"Okay, let's not talk about them, let's talk about your guard leader Bai Shan, is this guy coming back this year? I'll have to settle accounts with him if I want to come back. Our martial arts family and your royal family are partners in trading, cooperation is to be credible, your royal family is no exception, he Baishan put aside my martial family, and Tianzhu, what does it mean to trade with the big cannibals, is he breaking up with your family and our family on behalf of him?" Speaking of this, Wu Yuanqing was a little angry, Wei Xiaobao, the chief shopkeeper of the caravan of the Wujia commercial banks all over the country, has almost been stationed in Lingnan in recent years, and concurrently serves as the chief shopkeeper of the Lingnan Commercial Bank.
All the commercial houses of Datang have an agreement, that is, when foreign trade, things such as Datang specialty porcelain, silk and other in-demand goods and spices cannot be supplied openly, and the quantity must be limited to ensure that the price of goods will not fall due to oversupply.
Sold to Tianzhu in a year, the ships that are full of food are not a few ships, and they are sold several times a year, but Baishan actually sold a year's amount to others this time.
If you don't want the price of goods to be reduced, other families will basically not be able to sell to Tianzhu in the next year.
The royal family is making money, but you have made all the other vested interests lose a lot of profits, and taking people's money is like killing parents.
Bai Shan is bringing trouble to himself and making trouble for the royal family.
Wu Yuanqing is not qualified to represent so many other noble families, and he doesn't want to represent, but his attitude towards his own family is also a reminder to the royal family, don't lose a big one because of a small loss, because some wealth makes everyone dissatisfied with the royal family, it really outweighs the loss.
