Chapter 31: Li Er's Little Secret
handed over the Yiyao children's shoes to Wenyun, and the hawker went to Li Er with the chart, and the Han general was pushing the heavy palace gate to close the door, and when he saw the hawker's car, he stopped there and waited for him to enter.
Throw two packs of cigarettes and "thank you" to a few people
The Han generals shook their heads, "This is the one who dares to break into the palace late at night."
Calling a eunuch casually, knowing that the hawker was resting in the eldest grandson's dormitory tonight, he followed the road to the eldest grandson's dormitory and asked the eunuch outside the door, "Is Your Majesty asleep?" ”
The eunuch glanced at the dormitory, "No?"
"Okay, I'll go in and find Your Majesty for something."
After speaking, without waiting for the eunuch to inform the peddler, he walked to the eldest grandson's bedroom alone, pushed the door open, and then saw a scene that made him cry and laugh.
Li Er hugged the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson was half-paralyzed in Li Er's arms with his face up, the two of them had very sad expressions, Li Er "Yu Ji, Yu... Ji....Ahh
The eldest grandson: "Overlord....You must live..."
Hawkers applaud "good"
The angry eldest grandson pushed Li Er away, and he didn't care about any etiquette, "Why are you here this deflated calf?" “
The peddler smiled cheaply, "If it weren't for this time, I wouldn't know that the two of you were so emotional, this overlord Farewell Concubine sang it, yes, my sister-in-law's singing voice is very bright"
Since the art form of opera was brought to the Tang Dynasty by hawkers, it has been very popular, but since the lottery of the Tianzhen Festival, the hawkers have not brought new repertoire, and the natives of Chang'an have not figured out the expression of this art form, and they have been singing Mulan over and over again.
Until one day when Old Man Li was on a whim, he felt tired of watching TV, and wanted to change his taste, and the hawker found such an excerpt as Farewell My Concubine, but he didn't expect Li Er to actually learn it.
When the eldest grandson heard the hawker boasting about himself, he immediately fanned his eyelashes and asked the hawker, "Dabao, am I really good at singing?" ”
The peddler nodded firmly, "Hmm"
Li Er took the towel in the maid's hand and wiped his hands, and teased the eldest grandson, "Just listen to him fool you, when did this kid tell the truth?"
The eldest grandson is very young, and the girl looks like a farewell, Li Eryi said, "I want you to take care of it"
Li Er shook his head, no longer angry with her, sat on the bench and patted his knee, "Dabao, do you have anything to do with me in the middle of the night?" ”
"Something, Your Majesty take a look at this" The vendor handed the chart to Li Er, and took the fruit handed by the eldest grandson, "Thank you, sister-in-law"
Li Er leaned into the light to look at the chart, the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled, and then raised his face to look at the peddler, "Dabao, what do you mean by this?" “
The vendor swallowed the apple in his mouth, "This is a chart contributed by several maritime merchants, what do they mean" The vendor told Li Er about the discussion with the merchants.
Li Er secretly speculated for a while, picked up the walkie-talkie, "Wuji, Xuanling, you come to the palace" A few people who were about to fall asleep didn't know what Li Er was making trouble again, and they all rushed to come, and everyone moved to the imperial study together.
Li Er asked the hawker to tell a few people what he had just said, and after finishing speaking, several people also fell into thought, and after a while, Sun Wuji said, "National teacher, is this thing confirmed?" ”
The peddler nodded, "Do you think I look like an unreliable person?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the hawker without speaking, and the hawker shrugged helplessly, "At least I'm more reliable for this kind of big thing, right?"
Only then did the few people nod, and the peddler sighed, once this person formed an image, it would not be possible to change it for a while.
Eldest Sun Wuji: "In this case, I suggest that Your Majesty do what the national teacher said, everyone knows that my Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the people's livelihood has withered, and now there is such a good place to search casually, and it is still very good to enrich my Datang?"
The others were amused by the word "Hunting" by the eldest grandson, none of the people present were stupid in reading, which one of them was not for the sake of profit, otherwise they would not have instigated Li Er to kill his brother!
Li Er nodded, "Since everyone agrees, then let's give a charter, Dabao, you initiated this matter, and you have a lot of knowledge, what should we do?" ”
The vendor scattered a circle of cigarettes for everyone, "If you want me to say, then we can't just look at these partners, you must know that once the smell of meat spreads, it is not these people's business, there must be other people who smell fishy to participate."
"So, first of all, let's build a customs, what is a customs, to put it bluntly, it is a collection of taxes, of course, it is not entirely a collection of taxes, but also plays a role in adjusting the trade surplus and deficit."
"You ask how to regulate, it's not simple, we don't charge money or give them subsidies for the export time of my Datang's many things, as long as we can sell things, so that the things produced by the people will not be wasted, so that the people will not starve to death"
"And for the things we lack, restrict exports, if you want to export, you can collect heavy taxes, so heavy that they don't make money even if they take them out to sell, in the same way, let's just do the other way around when they enter my Datang."
After the hawker said the function of customs, Li Eryi clapped his hands, "Wonderful, this method is wonderful, Wuji, let's see?" ”
"In addition, in order to ensure the tax revenue of Datang, we should also set up a coast guard force to be responsible for maritime patrols, specifically to seize some merchant ships that evade taxes and evade taxes, and also provide protection for legitimate merchant ships, what do you think?"
Everyone nodded together, and Fang Xuanling further added, "In addition to our Datang side, we also have to send some officials to manage the places provided by those maritime merchants, as the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, as long as we occupy it, whoever wants to come to get a piece of the pie in the future depends on our Datang's face."
Haha, everyone was amused by Fang Xuanling's black belly, Li Er pointed at him, "Old house, old house, this thing is basically like this, it's so late, everyone go back first, hand me an excerpt later, write down the specific how to implement it, let me see, oh yes, give Dabao a copy too, let him help refer to it"
A few people went down, and Li Er looked at the vendor, "What's the matter, are you sleeping here or going home tonight?" ”
The peddler waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't disturb His Majesty singing"
After saying that, if you don't give Li Er a chance to scold, you will flash people, let's go home to find your daughter-in-law to sing, and the angry Li Er jumped straight to his feet in the imperial study!
After the hawker went home, he pushed open the bedroom door, Li Yue'er was combing her hair, and the hawker was learning to sing the opera "Mother....son...."
Li Yue'er also turned her head and echoed, "Phase... Gong..."Then his eyebrows furrowed, and his face turned cold, "Say, why did you come back so late?" ”
"What bad thing can I do, isn't it just to have a meal with someone?"
"Then how did I hear that you went to the Incense Pavilion? I also brought a girl, I can stand it."
The peddler gritted his teeth in his heart, which bastard told the secret, with a smile on his face, "It's all a misunderstanding, I really didn't do anything bad, if you don't believe it, I'll let you see my inventory"
After speaking, without waiting for Li Yue'er to object, she threw the other party on the bed, and exclaimed, "I'll go, what are you doing here?" ”
Picking each other's chins, "Beauty, what do you say"
"Rogues"
"Haha, come and make my brother happy"
After the wind calmed down, the vendor touched the cigarette case at the head of the bed, took out a cigarette and lit it up, "Comfortable, or his daughter-in-law knows the length and shortness" and received a slap on the chest, and the hawker grabbed the other party's key point "By the way, come home with me tomorrow, my mother misses you" (to be continued.) )
