Chapter 85 Good Looks

(It's finally done!!!! )

After Du Huangsheng dismissed the prime minister, the question of who will be the prime minister and who will govern the government has become the focus of people's attention. Originally, the most suitable choice was Lu Zhen, who was recognized as a good minister, but unfortunately, Lu Zhen was ill and could not be summoned, so he could only choose one person between Li Jifu and Pei Yan. These two people make it difficult for Li Yu to choose, in history, there are two prime ministers who died of exhaustion during the Yuan and Tang Xian periods, the first is Pei Yan, and the second is Li Jifu, both of whom died of stroke (cerebral hemorrhage), Pei Yan suffered a period of time after the stroke, and Li Jifu died at that time. If it weren't for the fact that Li Jifu was in power twice, with an interval of more than two years, he was sent out to Huainan Jiedu and Pei Yan was in power, and Li Jifu might have died first.

The reason why Li Jifu became a famous geographer and wrote several geographical monographs was not to write books and theories, but to use military forces to manage the government. After several years of planning, the military strategy, material mobilization and other plans for Huaixi and even Ziqing Weibo were all formed in Li Jifu's heart. And Li Jifu is not a person who is good at great achievements, his mind is very clear, the foundation of the country is in the people's livelihood, so he wrote the first accounting monograph in history "Yuanhe National Accounting Book" (Li Xuan: now called "Yongzhen National Accounting Book", Gaga), in history during the Huainan Jiedu envoy, Li Jifu mobilized the people to build the "rich" and "solid" two ponds, irrigated countless fertile fields, and repaired the dredging canal to make it unblocked, which shows his great ambition. The disadvantage is that he is extremely tough, and he is very clear about right and wrong, Lu Zhen didn't understand him back then, and demoted him to an official, and when Lu Zhen was unlucky to him, Li Jifu still treated Lu Zhen with the courtesy of the prime minister. Personality belongs to the extreme, and the relationship with colleagues is often not well coordinated.

Pei Yan's specialty lies in appreciating talents, clarifying government affairs, awe-inspiring, open-minded, very good at being a person, but distinguishing between public and private. There was an old man who heard that Pei Yan worshiped the prime minister, came to Chang'an from afar to find Pei Yan, Pei Yan was very happy to receive the old friend, when the wine was hot, the old man proposed to seek Jingzhao Judge, asked Pei Yan to help, Pei Yan put down the wine glass and said:

"The talents of the public are not qualified for this position, and I dare not interfere with the official affairs of the court with the private interests of the deceased. Maybe there will be a blind prime minister who will love you in the future, and you might as well get this official position, but if I Pei Yan is here, you still don't think about it. ”

For a while, it was a beautiful talk. For the feudal town, Pei Yan is also a hardliner, if Li Jifu is Zhang Liang, then Pei Yan is Xiao He. Who is in front and who is behind when Liu Bang fights the country?

The results are in. Li Jifu was the Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi, the ruling minister, and Pei Yan was transferred to the Ministry of Officials and the Tongping Zhangshi. The new subordinate Lang Tongping Zhang incident was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was Li Fan who was the original subordinate to the matter. Like Li Jifu, Li Fan was also born in the Zanhuang Li family, and he was in the same room. Like the two of them, there is also Li Jiang, who is a talent cultivated by a big family. Li Fan's talent is not as good as Li Jifu and Li Jiang, but Li Fan's specialty is that he knows everything and says everything, and he likes to refute and make books the most, and he will not open up the net because he is the same sect as Li Jifu, which is very suitable for presiding over the work of the province. With Li Fan here, whether it is Li Yu, Li Jifu, or Pei Yan, it is a good constraint.

In this way, the current prime minister is the following five people:

Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi: Li Jifu (Ruling Affairs Pen)

The servant of the Ministry of Officials is the same as the Ping Zhangshi: Pei Yan

The head of the household, the salt and iron transport envoy, and the degree branch envoy Tongping Zhangshi: Li Xun

The squire under the door is the same as the Ping Zhangshi: Li Fan

Sikong Tongping Zhangshi: Yu Di (relying on Wang Yi's performance, Yu Di was promoted to Sikong and became a figure at the same level as Du You)

This result disappointed many people who had clear hope to be prime ministers, such as Zheng Yin (next to the skein). Of course, before announcing the appointment, Li Yu talked to the members of the prime minister's team, hoping that they would work with one heart and one mind, do a good job of unity, work hard, work diligently, and create a new era in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Several people also pledged that they would never disappoint His Majesty the Emperor's high expectations. Li Jifu also assured the prime ministers that his mind was open, and everything was for the Tang Dynasty.

This year, Li Jifu was fifty years old, which was the age when he knew the destiny of heaven, and a vast world was in front of him, allowing him to display his ambitions.

On the first day of December, Sikong Tongping Zhang Shi Yu Di braved the bitter cold wind and left Chang'an and went to Jingyuan. The purpose of Yu Di to Jingyuan was very simple, to reward the soldiers who built Linjing City, announced the establishment of Xingyuan Prefecture, appointed Zhang Shou of General Hao Baoju as the assassin of Xingyuan Prefecture, and then inspected Fengxiang, Longyou, and Baoyi Army to make Liu Yong return to Chang'an together. Therefore, Yu Di was unable to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Tang Expo, which was built by Gou Sheng and Dai Sheng, and he could not witness the grand occasion of the princes and nobles burning money.

Datang Expo is located in the middle of the West Market and is a three-storey building. Benefiting from the experience of issuing shopping cards and shopping coupons during the 21st century's New Year's holidays, Li Yu ingeniously turned the property issued by the Inner Government to the emperor's relatives and the property issued by the imperial court to officials into pieces of paper, of course, from the Datang Bank. In the center of the piece of paper are printed pictures of Lingyan Pavilion, Danfeng Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Chunming Gate, and the face value is marked on one side, and the stamps of the bank and the banking regulator are stamped on the other. Originally, it was going to be called Yongzhen Treasure Banknote, but because of the change of yuan, the internal name has been set as Xingzhi Treasure Banknote.

On the ninth day of December, the EXPO was officially opened, and under the instruction of Li Yu, Gou Sheng held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the crown prince Li Chun, the minister of finance Li Xun, and the king of Jingzhao Yin cut the ribbon for the EXPO. The first floor of the expo hall is coarse goods and general New Year's goods, the second floor is fine goods, and the third floor is the Treasure Hall, which holds auctions. From the ninth to the eleventh day of the first month, it was specially open to the nobles and officials of the clan, the first and second floors were sold goods, and the third floor was only an exhibition. Twelve are open to the public, and of course there will be auctions on the day they end. After that, it was entirely exhibition-oriented. In addition to the large denominations of Lingyan Pavilion, Danfeng Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Chunming Gate, Longmen, Huashan and other small denomination banknotes were also issued, and they promised to be freely convertible with gold, silver and copper coins.

Datang Bank's millions of taels of gold and silver, are you still afraid of your exchange?
