When Ziwei Palace was in trouble, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shaoyou asks to see you." ”

Qin Shaoyou......

Usually Qin Shaoyou rarely comes to Luoyang, except for the fact that there are fewer opportunities to come to Luoyang Palace, this guy has been busy in Mengjin in recent days, why did he come to see him at this time.

Wu Zetian is naturally not a good type, she said in a deep voice: "Call to speak." ”

Called to speak, naturally came to this Ziwei Palace.

After a while, Qin Shaoyou came in, but he was not in the dormitory, Wu Zetian saw him in the main hall of Ziwei Palace, Qin Shaoyou saluted: "Minister Qin Shaoyou has seen Your Majesty." ”

Wu Zetian looked at him and said slowly, "Why is Qin Aiqing here?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "The minister is favored by His Majesty, and now the city of Mengjin has been built, and some results have been seen, in recent years, Mengjin has accumulated 2.3 million stones, millions of money, His Majesty ordered the training of the Tiance army, in case of emergency, such as today's army is recruited on a large scale, swords, guns, swords, halberds and war horses, there are three thousand, all of them are dead soldiers who dare to fight, in the past six months, in addition to building the city, it is to open up the land of Hebei given by His Majesty, and accept thousands of displaced people, reclaim the slope of the horse, and order people to build water conservancy, water diversion irrigation, The distribution of farm tools, cattle and sheep has also been quite effective. ”

Qin Shaoyou talked eloquently and continued: "Henan and Hebei are now used for different purposes, and the places in Henan are mainly used to build cities, and at the same time build schools, establish some workshops, craftsmen's shops, and open up markets. The tea of the ministers. In addition to supplying all the states and counties in the world, it also traded with other countries in exchange for their furs and livestock, and now in Henan, several horse markets have also been opened, which is also promising. In the past few years, the minister has worked hard to operate, although it is not perfect, but it is more or less said in the past, and during this period, he has been wrongly loved by His Majesty, and has given a lot of convenience. That's why I'm thanking you today. ”

Qin Shaoyou completely put his family background on the table.

And these riches are indeed enough to be praised, such as the construction of Mengjin City, such as the accumulation of grain of 2.3 million stones, you must know that the current annual grain endowment of the imperial court is only more than 20 million stones, and a small Mengjin monopolizes one-twelfth of the world's annual grain reserves. As for the money, it goes without saying, it is said that it is two or three million, but it doesn't seem to be much. Don't forget, in recent years, Mengjin has been hoarding materials, expanding manpower, and building cities. The daily expenses are like flowing water, and in this way, there are still reserves.

Qin Shaoyou leaked his family background today. But it was he who did it on purpose, after all, Meng Jin was only one step away from Luoyang, what happened there. It will definitely not get out of the control of the imperial court, Wu Zetian will definitely have eyeliner in Mengjin, these things, even if Wu Zetian doesn't know some specific numbers of Mengjin, but roughly in his heart, he must have a number. As for the hundred officials of the imperial court, of course, they also knew that Qin Shaoyou's power was expanding, but the current imperial court was eventful, and Qin Shaoyou had gained Wu Zetian's trust, and no one came to cause trouble.

Qin Shaoyou directly showed all his hole cards, but he seemed to be above board, since people can already find out your details, why do you have to hide it?

With Qin Shaoyou's current situation, if it is changed to the Taizong period, it will definitely be suppressed vigorously, but the pattern of Wu Zetian's period is different, Wu Zetian itself has no strength, her strength is nothing more than to use her strength to fight with strength, use the Guandong Gate Valve to suppress the Guanlong Gate Valve, use the Wu family to suppress the Li family, and use Li Xian to suppress Li Dan, now, it is just a new trick, which is why, knowing that the Tiance Army has been thousands of miles a day, but Wu Zetian can also tolerate it.

Since this is the way of thinking, the more Qin Shaoyou is above board, the more loyal he is, but if he accumulates strength privately, but he is clearly seen by others, this is a 'great rebellion'.

Wu Zetian said with a look of relief: "I can't imagine that I love you right, Tiance Army is so presentable." Her surprise was obviously a lie, how could she not know the details of Meng Jin's place, but Qin Shaoyou really explained it, but it still made her feel that it exceeded her conservative expectations, Wu Zetian smiled again: "Why did Qin Aiqing deliberately enter the palace today to tell this?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't finished talking yet. The buying and selling of ministers, it seems to be interconnected, in fact, it complements the national policy of the imperial court, especially the buying and selling of the horse market and the trading of tea, which has been used to contain the desert departments, in the past, when Emperor Taizong was there, he relied on force to make the ministries submit, such a practice, of course, but the loss is great, every time the army is dispatched, hundreds of thousands of people with armor are out of the fortress, I don't know how much grain is needed, and I don't know how many people to recruit for what they need, but force is not a long-term way after all, and the desert people are unruly, Today's force is taken by you, tomorrow the court is a little lax, and they repeat. The minister does not dare to boast, but tea has now become a necessity for the desert departments, through tea to deter the ministries, and at the same time in exchange for fur and livestock to strengthen the court, the next thing the minister has to do, is to exchange for the look at the cattle and horses into the Guansai, these cattle and horses, now in the Guan, is worth a lot of money, as far as the minister knows, a horse, now worth as much as two, a cow, it is even more expensive, it is as high as four runs, and the ministers from the desert to send cattle and horses, the vast majority, are just worthless tea in exchange, the cost generated, At most, it is the cost of transportation along the way and the loss of forage along the way, the minister has calculated an account, it is completely possible to reduce the price of horses to the same, the price of cattle to two, so that it can lead to the village community, a large number of popularization of animal power, if a labor, a year, at most can cultivate ten acres of land, but with livestock, you can cultivate thirty acres, this is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, as for horses, you can travel, so that the range of people can be more extensive, to give convenience, but I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? ”

Wu Zetian may have been interested in these so-called things that benefit the country and the people a few years ago, but now, I am afraid that I can't raise too much interest, first of all, she is a selfish person, a selfish person, when she is dying, where is there still interest, to care about these.

But...... What Qin Shaoyou wanted to say to Wu Zetian was not this.

Wu Zetian doesn't need these things that benefit the country and the people.

But what about the new Son of Heaven?

Wu Zetian seemed to sense the overtones in Qin Shaoyou's words, Qin Shaoyou came running, probably to tell himself that he already had a foundation, he had been able to gain a foothold, and he could even completely influence the livelihood of many people.

Qin Shaoyou seemed to be telling himself that he now had the value of being used.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian's eyes narrowed, she smiled, and she began to look at Qin Shaoyou again, this guy who played tricks on his head said so much nonsense, it turned out that he also had his own little abacus.

Wu Zetian knows that a person's virtue or other so-called virtues are not important, a person's relationship is actually not important, and if a person wants to gain a foothold, the only thing he needs is only one thing, that is, the value of being used.

Even if you have a good relationship with the prince today, what can you do? The human mind will become, the prince can like you today, but tomorrow he can alienate you because of a person's slander. And a person has the value of being used, so even if the prince likes you or doesn't like you, he has to use you, because in this way, he can have long-term peace and stability, just like the five surnames and seven families, this kind of first-class door valve, will all the emperors of all dynasties like it? This is categorically not, on the contrary, most of the sons of heaven in all dynasties are somewhat dislike these guys, after all, these people occasionally always have to override the imperial power, and they also raise their own private soldiers and cultivate their own wings, but these people were ministers in the Han Dynasty, and they were generals in the Jin Dynasty, and they became pillars in the Sui Dynasty. personally set the Li family as the number one surname in the world, but so what? The people of the Cui family are still in the court, even if it is Li Shimin, they still have to be appointed as generals.

In the final analysis, there is only one reason, it is nothing more than that the Cui family has the value of being used.

And Qin Shaoyou came in a hurry, in fact, he was shouting about one thing, Your Majesty...... In fact...... I'm also worth being used.

Knowing this intention, Wu Zetian was really angry and funny, and she couldn't help but say: "Qin Qing, if you have anything to say, don't be distracted, you have to go around such a big circle." ”

Finally...... It's still time for Tu Poor Dagger to see it, Qin Shaoyou raised his eyes, looked directly at Wu Zetian, and said, "Minister...... I beseech Your Majesty, grant marriage to the ministers, ministers...... If you want to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, I hope Your Majesty will approve it! ”

“……”

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment.

She never imagined that Qin Shaoyou's true purpose was like this.

Her face froze.

Qin Shaoyou continued: "The minister knows that the minister already has a wife, and he really can't climb His Royal Highness, but the minister and Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping are happy with each other, and Her Royal Highness the princess is criticized because of the minister, so these rumors, the minister is willing to bear it with all his might, and the minister has the crime of ten thousand deaths. ”

The first chapter was delivered, and when I got up in the morning, I found that the guaranteed monthly passes were so shabby, it seems, the tiger is really old, cough cough. The charm is not as good as it was back then. (To be continued......)
