Chapter 194: Forming a Force of Checks and Balances
Hearing that Wang Erniu led the strange beast to knock on the palace door, Li Chengqian personally came to the palace city to watch under the leadership of the inner servant, just at a glance he liked this strange beast that looked more ferocious than the tiger and leopard, of course, this is also the result of Wang Erniu showing him the full set of equipment on the war elephant, only the emperor can open and close the palace gate at night, and now Li Chengqian is in charge of the country, this right naturally fell on his head, and the war elephants shook their big ears like a fan and walked into the palace gate with their noses, which was completely cold.
Wang Erniu was anxious to complete the task assigned by Yanglin, and told Li Chengqian about the origin of the war elephants and briefly explained the war situation in the land of Jiaozhi, and then hurriedly handed over these elephants to the natural princess, Li Chengqian squeezed his eyebrows and looked at him for a long time, he didn't see it, but his expression was in vain offended Li Chengqian, and when Li Lizhi saw these big monsters, he jumped directly into Li Chengqian's arms, because she was eating supper and came out with two fruits, and the elephant smelled the smell of fruits. stretched out the old man's nose to her one by one, which frightened Li Lizhi a lot.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, princess, these elephants look fierce, in fact, because of the equipment on the battlefield, they are very docile, more obedient than buffalo and war horses, it smells the smell of food in your hands and asks you for it! They have a sweet tooth and fruits. Wang Erniu explained with a smile. His boy Wang Tieniu was just talking and walking, and when he picked him up on the dock, he was also frightened by the war elephants, and as soon as the short whips in the hands of the female animal trainers sounded, several elephants took their trunks back, and only the two baby elephants whose fangs had not yet grown were not domesticated. Still dangling in front of Li Lizhi, forcing her to hand over the fruit in her hand.
"How many fruits do they have to eat in a day when they're so big!" The two baby elephants are not in their gear. The body is wrapped in a cashmere blanket, and the cute look is very cute, Li Li saw that the elephants were honest, so he teased the baby elephant with the fruit in his hand, the baby elephant did not look as big as a horse, but the nose was very flexible, and the fruit in Li Li's hand was rolled up in the mouth with the crisp sound of chewing with immature teeth. It's very joyful.
"Well, elephants are very good at eating, and they have to eat at least three or five hundred catties of grass and leaves for a meal. The baby elephant is simple, a few sugarcane and a basket of fruit are all it takes. Wang Erniu looked at Li Liqian, who was becoming more and more round and jade, and thought of what Yang Lin had told him before leaving, and took out a letter in his arms with a wicked smile. Signaling that this was given to her by Yang Lin.
"Elephants can eat so much! If it eats all the things in the palace. What else do I eat? In this way, the elephant will be handed over to the eldest brother to raise! You have a lot of offerings, they can't eat you poorly, and the baby elephant will be handed over to me to raise, a few sugar canes and a basket of fruits, and I will come out of the palace evenly, and the queen mother said that you must be diligent and thrifty. "Li Lizhen has reached the age of a director. And the style of doing things is similar to that of the eldest grandson, which has been exposed to it since elementary school. I thought of a way that seemed to be good.
Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, he felt like it when he first saw this elephant, there were tigers and leopards in the honor guard of the Son of Heaven on patrol, it was very majestic, if he added a few elephants to the prince's honor guard, it seemed that it would be more majestic, and the boy had a primitive motivation to surpass his ancestors when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the goal of what Li Chengqian was doing now was to compare with Li Er, and this period of youth was the time when his character was formed, and some boys did not communicate with their fathers much from then on, and some directly raised the bar to quarrel and make their father's rebellion, and they wanted to seek self-reliance before their wings were hard. Even more than a thousand years later, this primitive desire of human beings has not been thoroughly studied scientifically.
"It's so good, Lone also loves this strange beast, so let's set up a park next to the Taiye Pool to raise them! By the way, what did Xiao Linzi write in your letters, open it and take a look. Li Chengqian wondered why Yanglin often wrote letters to his eldest grandson, younger sister and emperor, so why didn't he write a letter to him! You must know that when Yanglin entered the palace, he was the prince's companion, and he lived in the Chengqian Palace, it stands to reason that he has the heaviest label of the prince, and he should be the closest to him, he will not be twelve years old and has not yet realized his political consciousness!
As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Li Liqian's delicate face instantly turned red and became twisted, the girl's family had the truth of watching her husband's letter in public, and fed all the fruits in her hands to the baby elephant, Li Liqian ran to her palace with the letter like a bag, Li Chengqian looked at her back and shook her head with a smile, and began to tease her elephant, Wang Erniu also completed the task at this moment and bowed to retire.
"Lizhi, are you still satisfied with the gift I gave? Do you know why I sent them to you? Because elephants are very good at eating, this is very similar to you, I guess you must like the two baby elephants, and don't like those elephants, but the baby elephants will become elephants when they eat, you must not eat like them and become elephants, I heard Wang Erniu say, every time he sends you a letter, he thinks you have gained weight, this is not good, I don't like women who are too fat, so send you a few elephants, let them eat all your food, and when you see the elephants eating all day and their size, You must remember to limit your appetite, if you are too fat, you will get a lot of diseases, which is not good. Hehe, this is a joke with you, but although the food is good, but it can only be tasted, next year I will let the food factory launch a lot of food, you are only allowed to eat a little bit to taste the taste, sweets you send more to the queen mother, she gave birth to a few of you is not easy, blood deficiency has shown signs, tell her to pay attention to the tonic, in the future, we Datang will never lack food, you can tell her not to be so thrifty, rest assured to eat, pick the best food, there is a letter in the bag, I wrote to the queen mother, you are not allowed to peek, You still don't want to know the things in it, as the daughter of the emperor's family, you should understand, just write here, now I have 100,000 troops under my hands, and I am busy with official business! You are in Chang'an and relaxed, I will return at the end of next year at the latest, Wang Erniu will build my Pony Mansion in Furong Garden according to my wishes in the spring, you can go and see more if you have nothing to do, if you have any requirements or the like, you can mention to him, he will meet you. β
Li Li looked at Yang Lin's letter sweetly, the eleven or twelve-year-old child had already begun to wake up. Yang Lin's letters are never like those literati, and they are also extremely obscure, and after reading them, she has to stick the letter in her heart to reflect on the content of the letter. The first woman in Datang who went on a diet to lose weight was born.
The eldest grandson was also in a very good mood when he read Yanglin's letter, Li Chengqian seemed to be much more sensible in the past half a year, his mother always felt that her son was the best, and the eldest grandson Empress naturally felt that this was his expression of growing up and being sensible, and now she had begun to praise Li Chengqian from time to time in her letter to Li Er, but she didn't know that in Li Er's opinion, this was after Li Chengqian knew that the mistakes he had made were exposed. One of the remedial measures taken, the most crucial position of Yang Lin's letter was in the last few sentences, when the eldest grandson saw there. The smile on his face froze.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty want to separate the father-son relationship between my husband and my son, it's really damned." Once a woman finds out that someone wants to hurt something she wants to protect, she will generally be more ruthless than a man, and Li Er can't come back in southern Xinjiang for the time being. On the surface, the remnants of the previous dynasty were all vassals of Li Chengqian. It is already impossible to let Li Chengqian break with them, or even deal with them, and there is only Empress Changsun who can do something nearby, if Yang Lin is not mistaken, since Li Yuan chose to send him this letter, he must have thought of the two situations in which Yang Lin agreed and disagreed to cooperate with him. It was impossible to rely on that letter as evidence to expose his quest for restoration, and it was best to uproot those forces one by one in secret.
Yang Lin's idea was right. Although the eldest grandson only has the power to control the harem, she is able to mobilize Li Er's die-hard forces to stay in Chang'an, and Li Er, the remnant of the previous dynasty, killed a group when he was in the throne, and even started from his own brother and younger brother, and now he has to deal with those small miscellaneous fish, naturally he will not be soft, and in the Chu Mansion of Xinghuafang, there is a new force that can stir up the storm in Chang'an City.
"Don't ask me why, what I'm going to explain next, you must help me do it as quickly as possible, the first thing, recruit ten to twelve year-old teenagers, fatherless and motherless orphans are preferred, if you really don't have one, find someone with a clean family background, it's best not to be an only child, the second or the best concubine, the number of people is between five hundred and one thousand, tell them, the noble man must develop his subordinates, be able to give up everything before, in order to follow the noble man to learn an earth-shattering ability, your own heirs forget it, this is not a way to get rich and happy, If something bad happens and you are implicated, don't blame me for not reminding you.
The second thing, I brought back a lot of things from Jiaozhi, which requires Seiko craftsmen to step up manufacturing, you can all participate, profit distribution according to the old rules, but from today onwards, all shopkeepers please hoard more cash, some of the accounts that should be recovered must be recovered, at the end of next year at the latest, the nobles have a big thing to do, see this box of bills in my hand, in your shop, you can sell such bills, according to the amount on the bills, collect cash, use such bills, You can also exchange goods of the same value in your shop, and the more bills you sell, the more cash you can recover, it's not difficult to understand.
The third thing, don't tell any outsiders about all the actions here, once you don't talk tightly, you lose the opportunity to make a fortune, the loss is yourself, after the nobles return to Beijing at the end of the year, the final plan will be implemented, before that, 30 million yuan of cash is the minimum goal you want to raise, who raises more, will earn more at that time, all remember? β
Wang Erniu still put down a big box, poured a sip of warm wine, and said a lot in one breath, in fact, these three points are just a small step in Yanglin's plan to balance the king, so that the bills issued by him are better than silver money, and it is not surprising that he will soon occupy the entire market, but in this way he only has a certain amount of economic rights, plus his identity as the general manager of the top ten factories and the second largest shareholder, he probably barely grasps more than half of the economic rights, and those recruited teenagers, after following Yanglin's systematic study for some years, On the other hand, it will also help Yang Lin grasp a force that hovers outside the court, plus another force that Yang Lin will push up in the court in the future, maybe he can come forward to reverse the situation when there are some unstable factors in the royal family, of course, the political power that Yang Lin wants to establish is not centered on him personally, even if he dies, such a structure can still balance the king, although the idea is not very fine, but he believes that after some years of modification and operation, he can change to a very perfect Cheng dΓΉ.
