Section 34: The Merchant Cry
He Shao stood in front of the palace gate, involuntarily puffed up his chest, his waist has been bent for too long over the years, no matter what kind of vitality Shang Jia has injected into this huge empire, in this glorious land, Shang Jia is still a group of people without any status, they are either bullied, or oppressed, or insulted, they are the object of fun at the banquet of the nobles, if they put a tail on their buttocks, they can be comparable to monkeys.
Wanmin Palace! This palace, which was built by merchants with funds, has been standing in Chang'an for 15 years, which is the 15 years and the 15 years of rapid development of the merchant group.
Today, whether it is the snowy fields in the north, the desert in the west, the jungle in the south, or the sea in the east, the shadow of the merchant is everywhere, and half of the income of this empire comes from the contribution of the merchant, and the reason why this empire can defeat all enemies is the dedication of the merchant.
Why, after we pay heavy taxes, we still have to give fresh food to the nobles, why should we retreat as long as it is a businessman in the field that the nobles are involved in? Why does your eldest grandson's family want to play with hot air balloons, and I, He Shao, can only run to the desert to eat sand?
I am the Count of the Empire, and I also have the right to go to the palace!
He Shao's courage did not come from the earl's outfit on his body, but from the big shopkeeper of Baiye Xing behind him, they came thirteen people and now add themselves, a full fourteen people, all of them are people with official positions, although they do not have any real power, but this time they must make their own voices, the imperial court wants to reformulate the "Commercial Law", how can there be no participation of Shang Jia? If it is said that a group of people who are not businessmen can formulate a code of conduct for businessmen, this is the biggest injustice in the world!
Li Chengqian stood at the front of the whole team, looked back at the somewhat tragic businessmen and officials, and smiled secretly, the court hall that rotated like a kaleidoscope. Today's main characters will actually be a group of businessmen!
The eldest grandson Wuji doesn't need to queue up, this is the emperor's preferential treatment for him, he only needs to wait on the steps of the Hall of the People, a warm sedan chair completely distinguishes him from other courtiers, as the first person in the Lingyan Pavilion. He has that qualification.
The eunuch's sharp voice sounded in the palace, and after the imperial history once again rectified the queue, the mighty two columns of the team walked into the imperial city, outside the imperial city, there were fourteen nanmu coffins neatly placed, one of which was extraordinarily wide, this was He Shao's preparation for himself...... "I have never heard of a bloodless change since ancient times, and now it has reached the threshold of life and death for you and me, if there is a disharmony." Bloodshed starts with us! ”
The business sea has been up and down for many years, He Shao knows deeply that there will be no response without requests, and there can be no victory without resistance. If you are in another country, you can easily change the division of power in a country, and even the replacement of imperial power. But in the Tang Dynasty, he is still humble as an ant.
Officials and businessmen are their biggest enemies, and they have achieved the ultimate that an ordinary businessman can achieve, and now, they are not short of money. The only thing missing is control over your own destiny!
"Private property is sacrosanct!" This is a noun that I knew from Yun Ye's mouth before, I used to listen to this sentence as the most ridiculous joke, after years of understanding, He Shao finally realized the importance of this sentence!
I want to make sure that I don't become a big fat pig that will be slaughtered at any time. He Shao doesn't value his life very much at this moment, a descendant of the He family has gone to the far island, as long as the incense is not extinguished, he doesn't care about fighting with his life.
The eldest grandson Wuji stood on the first floor of Dan Qiao, and glanced at He Shao coldly with cloudy eyes, and He Shao suddenly felt as if a poisonous snake was slowly climbing up from his back. Trying hard to restrain himself from trembling, he looked towards the general's side, but unfortunately he didn't see Yun Ye, and sighed secretly, Yun Ye was probably still floating on the Han River at this time. The fastest, it will only reach the Qinling Mountains. And he no longer has the ability to delay the formulation of the "Commercial Law".
He Shao's drooping hands pinched his thighs, wanting the pain to distract him, the emperor was about to come out, and he had to let himself hold on until the moment he saw the emperor.
For this opportunity, Baiye Xing spent a very large price to get this opportunity to meet, and he must not mess it up, no matter what, he must say his will in the court, even if he dies as soon as he leaves the palace, it is worth it.
"Who allowed the merchants to come to the temple?"
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't ask others, but asked the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was standing in front of him! Without the support of Li Chengqian, the first person in a hundred officials, He Shao and the others would not have the qualifications to go to the court at all.
"It was originally common sense for the Son of Heaven to listen to the voices of all the people, but now the merchants have the sincerity and willingness to meet them, and this king is just acting according to the etiquette system."
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "Sixty thousand gold coins, you can let fourteen merchants come to the court, if there are 100,000 gold coins, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will allow them to enter the court as officials?" The court is good, and now it is also made of copper stench, and the face of the Tang Empire is only worth 60,000 gold coins in the final analysis, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone. ”
"Shinong industry and commerce, willing to be the four people, this king did not see anything high, if the copper smell is all over the sky, this palace of all people is built by the donation of merchants, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers have been here for fifteen years, and I have not seen anyone tainted by the copper smell."
Li Chengqian is now in charge of the Inner Palace, he has a different view of the merchants, and even thinks that these people are the mainstay of the empire, the nobles are divided into two distinct factions by Yun Ye and the eldest grandson Wuji, but the royal family is firmly held in the hands of his father, His Royal Highness the Prince, the only thing he can fight for is these abandoned merchants, these people with strong abilities but no corresponding status.
Over the years, Li Chengqian's vision has become much far-reaching, and he no longer thinks that he is as naïve as before, as long as he has righteousness, he can gain absolute respect, in fact, if Yun Ye, who is standing in a neutral position, stands up, the pressure he will experience as a prince is unimaginable.
"Hehe, how much of the majesty of the prince does the prince have, as for whether Shang Jia can lead the revision of the "Shang Law" this time, it depends on His Majesty's wishes."
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he stood in his position with Beban in his arms and closed his eyes, only his flushed face proved that his mood was not at peace.
Li Er came out, whenever the sun shines on the throne, he will sit on the throne on time, and grasp this bright earth at the same time as the sun, which is a habit that Li Er has added in recent years, so that Si Tianjian always has to calculate the exact time of sunrise, for this reason, Si Tianjian and Yushan Academy together form a small academy, specializing in the study of the time of sunrise in the four seasons of the year, as for the person who is qualified to serve as this dean, it is Zhao Yanling, the famous residence of the academy.
It was a bad taste for Li Er to set the giant diamond of the Mountain of Light in the crown, his head was radiant, and the Mountain of Light was like a bright flame under the sunlight, no matter who looked at the emperor, they needed to squint their eyes. Otherwise, after looking at it for a long time, the eyes will become red and swollen, and Li Er called this the majesty of the emperor.
"The court meeting begins, and the hundred officials will meet you with a great ceremony!" A eunuch shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
The rule that the great dynasty will pay homage to the emperor has never changed in the Tang Dynasty, and in the entire hall, only a few three or five Lingyan Pavilion masters only need to clasp their fists and salute, and the others have to bow down, and Li Chengqian is not exempt from vulgarity.
After Li Er said flattened, the court fell into a dead silence, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't speak, and others couldn't say it.
After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the class and said: "Qi Qi Xià, the general Cheng Chumo, the Yinqing Guanglu doctor Chi Baolin, the one body to protect the pro-Xun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang will Yunshou succeed to the Yuezhou Thorn History, the book is here, please Your Majesty Xià Yuxuan." ”
Li Er is not surprised by this matter, and there is really nothing to make a fuss about, the Yuezhou Assassin History is a national policy made by himself in his early years in order to disperse the forces of Xungui in Chang'an, and the effect is very good.
"I don't remember what's wrong with Yuezhou's assassin Shi Cui Xiu, why is there a change of office this time?"
"Cui Xiu has been in Yuezhou for many years, diligent and thrifty, and has a good reputation in office, and the ministers think that this person should be promoted to Chang'an, and the ministers think that the scattered cavalry is enough to reward the merits!"
Li Er listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, smiled, opened the chapter, read it with the red pen, and asked the eunuch to give it to the eldest grandson Wuji, and the matter would be settled.
Li Eryi, who finished reviewing the recital, looked up and saw the fat He Shao, and was stunned for a moment, He Shao's body size among the second-class courtiers was too eye-catching, and he couldn't see it if he wanted to.
"He Shao?" Li Er asked.
He Shao, who was already extremely nervous, heard the emperor calling him, walked to the middle in three or two steps, fell to his knees with a plop, and replied kowtowing like pounding garlic: "It's Weichen, it's Weichen!" ”
Everyone looked at He Shao with disdain, the great court will kneel down and worship the emperor This is the request of the canon, when it is played correctly, how can it become a kowtow worm? It's really a festival of losers.
"It's a rare thing for you to stand in the court, aren't you busy earning your own money?" Li Er asked He Shao in a playful tone, in his opinion, He Shao came to Wanmin Palace because he had come to the court to be addicted, and he didn't believe that this mercenary person could have anything important.
"Your Majesty is gracious, give my generation of businessmen a way to live. , ask Your Majesty to be gracious, and give our businessmen a way to live! When it came to the end, He Shao's courage actually became bigger! While kowtowing, he said out loud what he had wanted to say a long time ago! (To be continued......)
