Chapter 161: Light and Shadow
The rest of the people stopped talking, they are not politicians, where are there so many fancy? It's amazing to be able to do this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe small actions they made before were all secretly sent out to the Imperial Observatory, similar to the spies of later generations. But those news are insignificant, and the impeachments are all petty officials, or phenomena that don't care.
Finally, when I got an opportunity, Huang Xishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, wrote a letter and asked to return to his hometown. They keenly sniffed out that this was a good opportunity, and it took a lot of thought to get this "Beggar Bones Thank You Table". These people spent a night picking out some words from this table, and used them to criticize Huang Xi and make a mess of the troubled waters of the court.
But even if Yushitai was impeached, it was like a small stone falling into a huge lake, which only caused a ripple, and there was no more sound. Seeing that time is running out day by day, these people can be said to be living like years.
A man with a gloomy face said viciously: "Why don't you make some ruthless moves, are you afraid that the little emperor will not comply?" ”
The leader reprimanded: "Ridiculous, don't look at the slack armament of Dashun now, if you get serious, you and I can block the thunderous blow of the little emperor?" Don't say this kind of thing! It's really not good, we can make a comeback if we abandon this business. If the little emperor raids his family and exterminates his family, then he won't even have a chance to make a comeback! ”
A man with a rough face said unconvinced: "What else can there be besides this method, it's better for everyone to turn against his mother." This little emperor forced us to have no way out, and we still have to look up to him to snort? In the old days, they all said, what is that...... Rather have a kind, are we not as good as a Lu family that can't open branches and can't disperse leaves? Back then, didn't they also meet by fate and ascend to that position? ”
The leader sighed: "That's called the prince and general, and I would rather have a kind." We are not as good as the Lu family, the Lu family's property, now you and I are difficult to match. Just those businesses in Huangzhuang, you can't compare. These years are even defeated. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the rotten ship has three points of nails, which is not comparable to our family. Besides, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were at that time. It was the people who had no way to live, so they rose up. I told you to read more, but you didn't listen. Now that the people have something to eat, who will work with you? By those families? In less than two days, people even served you the pot! Rebel. Hmph, don't even think about it! ”
A literati-like spokesman said, "If we don't rebel, will we let others rebel?" Aren't the miscellaneous fish in the east who are robbing us of business with huge power, these days, they have been disturbed by the little emperor like this, and their lives are not easy. Let's do something and blame them, right? ”
The leader listened and waved his hand. said, "No. Those people, although deeply rooted, are not people who can use their brains. If the little emperor was not stupid, he would never suspect those thieves in the east. When the time comes, the little emperor will touch the melon and touch us, which will be enough for us to drink a pot. It's not proper, it's not ......"
The literati thought about it carefully and sighed: "It's still Li Lao who thinks thoughtfully. Since it's not appropriate to blame, why don't you contact Dashun's enemies? There is a way, the enemy of the enemy. It's a friend. The Goryeo mission, now is not having a good time, let's go and help them, and let them do something. It's not difficult, right? ”
The old man said, "This plan is feasible. However, the Department of Supervision is very close and it is difficult to contact it. It is better to use the old method and pass the letter quietly, so that it is safe. ”
The rest of the people agreed, and Wang Lao sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to live." Who wants to put their head on the waistband of their trousers? If you are caught by the Supervision Department, you will inevitably raid your home and exterminate your family! Tens of thousands of people under his command have to be fed, but the little emperor is too forced, so we have to make this decision. If it's a bit of a way to live, who would do that? ”
The rest of the people were gloomy, and no one spoke. These days, they have tasted the pain of frugality with extravagance and erosion. The people under his hands are all detached from morality, making them panic all day long. When they got together, they were also desperate, so they did such a head-killing business.
Here, Lu Chengqi was not so depressed, but started an investigation along the street. These days, the price of salt in Jingzhao Mansion has risen from low, and some people finally have salt to eat. It's just that the shipment volume is still very small, I'm afraid it's not a transportation problem, but someone deliberately pressed the goods out of it.
Lu Chengqi visited a number of foot shops, and they all complained that the salt was not enough, and they could only use sauce to make seasonings, and the number of customers was several percent less. When Lu Chengqi heard this, he was quite apologetic. His intentions were good, but unexpectedly self-defeating, without a clear investigation, he rashly issued an order to cancel the official salt trade. There is a lot of private salt along the coast, but the road is far away and the transportation is inconvenient. Guanzhong has a huge demand for salt, relying on merchants to transport it, and there is no profit, which is a fantasy.
Lu Chengqi thought as he walked: "Do you really want to move the user department and go to the coast to buy salt on a large scale?" "But on second thought, the unscrupulous merchants who hoarded well salt still had a large amount of salt in their hands. But they only ship a little goods, do they want to raise the price of salt?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi frowned, and said in his heart: "I can't say it, in the future, I have to follow the example of Chang Ping, establish a warehouse for strategic material stockpiling, and adjust prices." If the price is low, buy in large quantities; When the price is high, it is sold at a low price. It doesn't matter if you lose something, adjusting the market is the key. Without macroeconomic regulation and control, the economy will not be healthy. The spontaneity, blindness, and lag of the market are often factors in the collapse of the economy. If there is no adjustment by the imperial court, I am afraid it will not work. In order to build a business-oriented country, macroeconomic regulation and control are indispensable. ”
Lu Chengqi thought of this method, not only to treat salt as a strategic material, but also to reserve grain, edible oil, etc. But such reserves, Dashun is not absent, but it has not risen to the perspective of national security. Moreover, such institutions are often the most prone to corruption, and Lu Chengqi is thinking about how to effectively supervise the reserves of salt, grain, oil, and other strategic materials. He was able to ensure that during his tenure, the Inspectorate would be able to prevent a large degree of corruption. But the Chinese are too smart and too good at exploiting loopholes, and it is difficult to ensure that a hundred years later, the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, and the late Ming Dynasty will be repeated.
This is a problem related to the backbone of the Han people, and it should not be underestimated.
Walking around, seeing that a long time had passed, Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "Those imperial envoys should be driven out of the palace." Speaking of which, I'm like hiding from the plague gods, avoiding these mad dogs. Where is this kind of official, it's clearly a group of resentful women! If it weren't for my good heart, I would have clicked all of these vexatious officials......"
Thinking viciously, Lu Chengqi didn't have such a mind. If he wants to be a generation of Ming Jun, he will never kill the speech official, no matter how presumptuous the speech official is, he must pretend to be taught. Impeachment can be ignored, it can be dismissed, but it cannot kill them. Even if they are arrested and put in prison, it will cause a storm. Yanguan, as if he is the face of a defender, Lu Cheng will cause a monstrous disaster if he activates it.
In the market, Lu Chengqi had faintly heard someone whispering about the movement of the Yushitai, it seems that it is really about to come! Who's behind this?
Lu Chengqi returned to the palace with questions. For the rest of the day, Lu Chengqi went out early to avoid these imperial envoys. But these imperial envoys are also resolute, and they come to "check in" every day, although they are always disappointed, they have not wavered in their will to impeach.
Finally, something happened. The third day was the regular dynasty, and not long after Lu Chengqi went to the court, he heard a bad news, Huang Xishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, fell ill, and he was not lightly ill. At this moment, everyone already smelled a trace of blood. Lu Chengqi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked calm. The hundred officials knew that it was just the calm before the storm......
