Chapter 298: Calculating the Dragon (3)

After the feast of the new house of King Yongfu, I began to stand in line!

This line is not to go to the Yongwang Mansion or to the East Palace to show merit, especially Li Wei has done a better job and is low-key! Even if they arrived at the East Palace, Li Wei might not trust them immediately, but Li Xian held a banquet and enjoyed the night, and Ming Chongyan gave six thousand gold, which could be squandered. Like his habitual temperament, he also has ability, but he can be frivolous and impatient. On the contrary, some ministers with good character or who can't wipe off their face originally wanted to take refuge in Li Xian for the future, but they didn't necessarily take refuge, but they hesitated.

But more, even if he is called to enter the East Palace, or the Yongwang Mansion, he may not necessarily go. can be supported, entering the East Palace and Yongwang Mansion, especially the prince's low profile, which is equivalent to a clear label. If this is the case, he began to retreat again. Li Wei didn't force it, but Li Xian was very anxious and tried every means to win him over, and some ministers were originally neutral, but when they were forced, they forced the prince to the side instead.

Wu Zetian laughed in the palace and said to Li Zhi: "Xian'er is more youthful and frizzy than Hong'er. ”

Li Zhi snorted a little disliked, he was standing by and watching, there were still bright spots, but there were too few, and even he faintly felt that Li Wei was "cultivating", otherwise there might be a counterattack, and Li Xian was immediately revealed. But you can't help anymore, you can't help again, you can't abolish Xiao Wu and let Xiao Liu be the prince. I'm afraid that in that case, Xiao Liuzi will still lose.

I was extremely disappointed in my heart, I hated to drag Li Xian back to the palace and beat him hard, you were born to the eldest brother Yiniang, although the boss has been in the East Palace for a long time, but he has been plagued by illness in the past few years, and he can't be so far behind!

Thinking about it like this, I didn't want to move Li Wei's position anymore, so I continued to wait and see if Li Xian could grow, and secondly, in this way, the court collapsed, and the threat posed by the prince finally weakened. He patted his aching head, he should have done it a long time ago.

Of course, it seems that his threat is small, but the court is in chaos.

Everyone stands in line, you don't have to go to the East Palace, you can stand in the court. For example, those who are on the side of the prince are disgusted when they see Xue Yuanchao and Zhang Daan. Together with the old minister Laiheng, they were all implicated. On Li Xian's side, Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun are regarded as the prince's sworn friends. How can this person who can't fight each other with his fists, nor can he open his mouth to scold? had to make a fuss about the court meeting, and "***" was opposed to it, so it was the minister who stood on Li Xian's side. The "Yongwang Party" is against it, and it is the prince's side. But Li Wei was silent, Li Xian ran east and west, and *** still had the upper hand.

Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and issued another edict, asking Zhang Da'an to be the third product of the Zhongshu Sect.

Otherwise, no, one is like an adult, and the other is like a child, how to fight in this ring match?

There are still more than half of the ministers who are silent, some are continuing to watch, some are just neutral, and some are the forces that Wu Zetian has developed silently.

In this way, how does the court discussion proceed?

The upper and lower effects, the gods above are at war, and the ministers of the various subordinates below needless to say. It's not that they want to fall to Li Wei and Li Xian, the qualifications are not enough, but some ministers learn from a certain boss. Just like the original Di Renjie, he must have helped Yan Liben. The big guys fight, and the officials below have to raise their elbows and fight. Not only local officials, but also disciples of the clan also participated, such as Li Zhi's other son who was alive in the world, Li Shangjin, the king of Ze, took this opportunity to take up his post in Luoyang and specially congratulated Li Xian on opening the mansion. Another son, Xu Wang Li Sujie, behaved in a low-key manner because his mother was Concubine Xiao Shu, but the prince saved his two younger sisters and studied under Xu Qipin, so he still helped the prince from the bottom of his heart.

This one is messy!

However, there is a benefit, because Xue Yuanchao and the three of them worship each other, and Hao Chujun does not have the authority to speak before, so they have to be silent. This gave Li Zhi a greater say.

The chaos above caused another thing to happen. Finally, the second group of merchants was allowed to go to sea, but they were repeatedly warned that after being let go once, no one was allowed to write or slander on this matter in the future, otherwise they would be investigated and dealt with according to the law. may not be taken seriously, but at least in the past ten or eight years, it is unlikely that people will be allowed to go to sea to do business again. And because of the profits, the number of places is small, but there are many people to compete for, when the prince is released to the sea, he can get a C-grade good businessman to go to sea for 2,000 yuan, but now, it is possible that he will not get 10,000 yuan.

If it was, the merchant would not dare to persecute it. Now that the court was torn apart, the merchants saw the wedge, so they wrote in protest. Since the imperial court went to sea with good businessmen, it had to look at moral character, not how much money there was. Could it be that those with more money are good businessmen, and those with less money are bad businessmen? Those who have the power actually forcibly pressure the officials. There is indeed power, this time it is not only businessmen who are excited, but also some big families, and even famous families, who don't want to pay money to the imperial court, so they force it to take a look.

Originally, if it was a book, it would have been a foregone conclusion. But now the court is falling apart, so many ministers are in tune.

Li Wei has always wanted to hide behind the scenes, and if he doesn't need to make a move, his mother will not be able to bear it sooner or later. Besides, the division of the court is also a great opportunity for my mother. But when he heard the impeachment, he immediately summoned the relevant officials and some protesting businessmen.

Then he pointed to a royal history surnamed Cai, who had seen it at the banquet in Li Xian's mansion, and he was also the most violent person these days, and asked, "Does the imperial court need officials?" ”

Cai Yushi didn't understand the meaning and nodded.

"Why do you need officials?"

"Without official governance, there will be no order in the country."

Li Wei sneered and said, "Cai Yushi, you still know that officials are here to maintain national order!" ”

Cai Yushi's face turned red and he didn't say anything.

Then Li Wei asked everyone: "If you need officials, does the imperial court want to send officials?" ”

No one has any objection to this.

Li Wei said again: "But if there are no soldiers, how can the territory be safe." Does the imperial court want to distribute military expenses? ”

There was no objection, and he said again: "But the road schools in various places, is the imperial court going to build and maintain them?" Is there a fee for this? Another example is the major disasters of previous years. Although some businessmen and big families have helped, when it comes to solving disasters, is it the court that has contributed the most power? Does this require money? Or some people say that the imperial court built a palace, such as the palace built by the father and the emperor for Gu in Jiucheng Palace. But ask yourself, no matter when Gaozu or Taizong, or in the hands of His Majesty, how much was used in civil engineering, which could be one-tenth of that of the Sui Dynasty? ”

"The money in the treasury has been drained by several wars and disasters. Why, you know, defend the country and help the refugees. But the construction of the two canals is helpful to the state and to the people, and even you merchants have more or less benefited from the two canals that were never repaired. But Gu wanted to build two canals at that time, but he had no funds, so he had to come up with a way to collect donations from wealthy businessmen. But you can't forcibly raise donations, and you can come up with a way to go to sea, so that both will benefit. It's just that the imperial court system was broken, which made many people think that the status of the lonely businessman was elevated, and the people were promised to go abroad. This is a helpless move. Now I regret it, I can't stop the two canals, return the money to the merchants, and reseal the sea. ”

Of course, I don't think so, but when I say this, I stand on a moral level.

"You say that you and the ministers use money to make good, not morality. Wrong! Gu remembered one thing, when King Qi Wei, Dr. Jimo was meritorious in governing the people, but he was not good at accepting it, and the court's close ministers slandered him many times. On the contrary, the people used the money to appease the ministers, and the court and the people were applauding. This reminded Lone of Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horse, the two of them can be described as good businessmen, but Lone heard that they were squeezed by many people in Jiangnan. It is precisely because they took the initiative to pay tribute to the imperial court that they deprived everyone of their private interests. One by one, they did not pay tribute to the imperial court, and they wanted the imperial court to ask for benefits. Ladies and gentlemen, the richer you are, the more you will be able to annex the land and give usury, and in the long run, the people of the whole country will be left either with you rich and rich households who do not want to pay taxes, or with tenant farmers and tribesmen. As a result, the imperial court had nowhere to collect taxes, no military funds in the army, and its combat effectiveness was lax, and even because of the lack of civilians, there was no source of government soldiers. There are no officials and officials, so they have to fish and meat in the township. The people were desperate and had no choice but to rise up. This is what you call morality, what you call conscience! ”

He slapped the table heavily and said, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." Whether you are good or not, I don't know, but I believe God can see it. You have made such a fuss, you don't believe it, and there are still a few of you who have a conscience. ”

Hao Chujun clapped his hands and said, "Well said, Your Highness, people are doing it, and the sky is watching." Ministers often see incense in the temple, but I don't know, if you do bad things all day long, will the Buddha be willing to forgive you in the future? ”

From the standpoint of the state, from the standpoint of the people, from the standpoint of morality, many people actually bowed their heads.

"Lone is to say, Yun Liangshang goes to sea, after all, if you go to sea, you have to go abroad, on behalf of our Datang, to show those small countries our Datang demeanor, self-improvement and self-esteem, and because each ship needs people to drive and escort, more than two hundred people need to be brought on a ship, and few need to bring dozens of people. But what Lone needs is for good businessmen to go to sea, and not all good businessmen can go to sea. In the end, going to sea is to raise donations as compensation, and fundraising is for two canals. But whatever you want to do, you think you can go to sea, or learn from a doctor and advocate it, it is a good business. Is it a good businessman, I don't know, but also with Dai Xianggong, Hao Xianggong discussed this matter, the two channels are opened, not only for the benefit of the country and the people, but also for the children and grandchildren, can you see Yizhou Dujiangyan? It's a matter of urgency. Such a major event is a move of two benefits, not really to take your benefits, at this time I don't raise donations, I just want to play a trick and want to get a place to go to sea. Are you embarrassed to say that you are a good businessman? ”

One by one they were silent.

After a while, a businessman said boldly: "But Your Highness, in this way, you will never be able to go to sea without a huge amount of money in your hands." ”

"That's the case, but don't you understand Lone's words? Lone is not letting you go to sea, but as an exception to compensate for fundraising. Lone here has to warn you, the sea is stormy and rough, although there is infinite wealth waiting for you, but human life is at stake, and there are also many risks waiting for you. Don't chase for profit and think twice. ”

Some people want to laugh, some people frown, after this sentence is released, they can no longer blame the prince for the sinking of ships at sea in the future.

But for businessmen, this sentence is also equivalent to not saying it. Those who should keep their own peace are still safe and keep themselves, and those who should be red are still red-eyed.

"Also, if you are a good businessman, if you want to help the country and the people, if you can't do one household, you should be able to do it for ten. Ten households can't do it, twenty households should always do. The others didn't know, they only knew that Liang Jinzhu and Earth Pony had at least *** merchants in the early days. Lonely against business, but I still heard a sentence, how much money is more profitable. Could it be that you don't even have money for food, so you want to go to sea to earn 100,000,200,000 yuan a year. So everyone, I would like to advise you, keep your head down when you walk, and maybe kick out a golden doll and come out. ”

This sentence finally made many people laugh. However, it has undoubtedly also made the competition more intense, and there were many businessmen who wanted to quit, but it was estimated that the quota fee was too high, and they had to build ships, load goods, and hire people, and they did not have this capital. But the prince reminded a wake-up call, which made many people feel empowered, yes, one person can't do it, let's get together, and the risk is shared.

This rally finally suppressed all those who wanted to pay attention to the crooked door. However, the competition became fierce, and the "Clan Chronicles" that Zhenguan repaired was expected to have nearly 400 surnames, and each surname almost represented a famous local family. The Tang Dynasty has been stable for a long time, and there are many new Shu landlords and merchants, such as Zou Fengchi, who is a miscellaneous family in Jingzhao. Some of these people are very business-minded, regardless of fame, and some of them are rich enough to rival the average famous family.

However, the quota is only 120 people, and the competition can be imagined.

Wei Xuan, who was supervising the work, and Wei Hongji, heard it, and a hanging heart finally settled down.

Especially in the Danshui canal, the money is used faster than the running water. Li Wei is also preparing to go to Danshui again, mainly now in the whirlpool, unable to be quiet. It's better to go to Danshui to relax. At this time, Wu Zetian called him into the inner palace.

Wu Zetian asked, "Hong'er, this palace wants to talk to you about something." ”

"Mother, please command."

"This palace is a palace, but you look at the relatives ......"

As he spoke, the beautiful figure-eight eyebrows jumped. is not very happy, no matter which queen is alive, relatives always have to worship officials. Big or small. Although he has no good impression of his mother's family, he is not a young man to be a queen, Helan Minzhi is just looking for death, Wu Chengsi is transferred back to the capital, and this son is also allowed to get Jiangzhou.

In fact, Li Wei was also helpless. If it is someone else, who is filial to his son, he does not need to be instructed by his mother, and even takes the initiative to propose to let his relatives serve as some officials. But when your relatives arrived in the capital, they immediately changed their nature and wanted to get a clan.

But the mother didn't say it sooner or later, and when she said it at this time, it means that the mother finally couldn't sit still. It's time to make a move!

I went to talk to Di Renjie that day, didn't I say that I had a safe year? It's only been a few months, and Datang is about to turn the sky upside down.

He was thinking about his thoughts, and Wu Zetian was even more displeased, and said, "Don't you want to?" ”
