Chapter 361: The Sixteenth Mission: Zhaozong Futang 4
In order to make more effective use of Yang Fugong and make him do his best for the Tang Dynasty, so as to prevent him from inviting the feudal towns on the side of the Qing monarch, Lu Renbing had to start teaching him more effective means of collecting money.
That kind of extortion is really hateful, can it be done in another way, isn't it good to sell the official beard? There were now a large number of self-appointed officials in the local feudal towns.
In the past, for the sake of face, the imperial court basically did not recognize these officials. Although Datang has been crumbling, after all, Datang's hundreds of years of majesty are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Except for guys like Zhu Quanzhong, who are anti-thieves in their bones, everyone still cares about the orthodox name of Datang.
The letter of appointment from the Chang'an Imperial Court is still quite valuable, and it is a good thing to be able to exchange money. So Lu Renbing authorized Yang Fugong to contact the Jiedu envoys in various places. The imperial court would approve of the officials they appointed, but only if they came up with a good price, for which the two drew up a detailed price list.
This move was comparable to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Lu Renbing still decided to let Yang Fugong bear the notoriety. What are the benefits, four three three, three three, Yang Fugong four, Lu Renbing three, and the court three. Well, Lu Renbing plans to give a share to the imperial court, otherwise he will be scolded to death.
This matter also has to bring all the bigwigs in the political hall over, and everyone will make decisions together. Save others from making trouble. In the end, it was a lot of people, in addition to posthumously recognizing officials and bigwigs in the political hall, they also put forward the price of knighthood, the price of scattering honors, and the price of posthumously recognizing ancestors. It's really undisciplined to the extreme.
Yang Fugong's godsons were salesmen of the Chang'an Imperial Court, and the agents of the various feudal towns in the court were also business representatives.
These things must not fall on paper, so there is no edict, and it is all up to these salesmen to promote. For a time, there were people of insight in the world, and it was a sign that there were traitors in the court, and they betrayed their officials and lords.
The leaders of the feudal towns also scolded, but it didn't delay them from paying out of their pockets. Although they don't want to buy it, they can't stop the generals under them, and the officials want to buy it.
What if the boss doesn't buy it, and the generals under him go to buy it on their own and are co-opted by the imperial court.
For a time, from Jiangnan to Mobei, from the Western Regions to the East China Sea, truckloads of goods were sent to Chang'an. It's been a long time since this happened.
The Chang'an court has been overwhelmed, and it is really best to do business without capital. If you have money, you have to spend it, otherwise it will be easy to attract thieves. How the people in the court spent that little money, Lu Renbing didn't care, he and Yang Fugong had already discussed the expansion of the army!
Yang Fugong is nominally the envoy of the Sixteen Guards of the Sixth Army, these are the official establishment of the forbidden army of the north and south in the early Tang Dynasty, the Sixteen Guards existed in name only with the collapse of the government military system, and the Six Armies became an empty shelf.
Now Lu Renbing is going to refill the forbidden army of the male northern ya, and initially plans to recruit another fifty-four capitals, each with a thousand people. Lu Renbing's guards who had been trained for two years were all released, and about half of the newly recruited soldiers and horses were mastered. Although Yang Fugong was not very satisfied with Lu Renbing's outstretched hand like an army.
But the new cake is too big for Yang Fugong to eat alone. Another Lu Renbing's sugar-coated cannonball is indeed stuffed quite enough, and the two of them are almost wearing a pair of pants if they have a good relationship now. This made Yang Fugong let go of Lu Renbing's vigilance a lot. By the end of the Dragon Age, the new army had been prepared.
At this time, Lu Renbing was able to control nearly 30,000 troops, and his direct guard expanded to 3,000 people. For his own army, Lu Renbing was quite sad. In addition to the last dynasty, the time to go back to the harem to turn over the cards. He stayed in his own army and personally took care of the army's training.
The first year of the Dragon Age was not a good year for other feudal towns, and it was fought everywhere from south to north and from east to west. The half-dead court also put its hand into everyone's small bag. The three towns of Hebei, which usually don't bird the imperial court at all, have been scraped a lot of money.
After all, the official titles recognized by the imperial court are still very fragrant, and there are not many opportunities to buy them with money. Well, in order to make everyone pay willingly. Lu Renbing played hunger marketing, which means that because the new emperor ascended the throne, he felt that the previous government was chaotic, many meritorious soldiers were not treated fairly, and people of insight were buried in the countryside, so he deliberately opened the door for a year to reassess the merits for everyone.
The time window is like this, after this year, it will not be sold in the future, or it will not be at this price. That's why business is booming.
Well, it is impossible to sell the official mantle this wave, and it is not impossible to sell another wave in two or three years according to everyone's needs.
The court with money is a saubao, and some ministers propose to repair all the palaces that were burned down by the rebels. Of course, Lu Renbing clearly refused. Is it time to overhaul the palace? That's not how money is spent. It's still possible to repair the city wall.
In addition, it is also possible to strengthen water conservancy construction in various parts of Jingzhao Prefecture, and strive to produce more grain. The consumption of an army of 100,000 men is too staggering. If the situation cannot be opened as soon as possible, the mutiny of these 100,000 troops alone will make this small court unrecoverable.
In November of the first year of the Dragon Era, Lu Renbing was arranged by the courtiers to sacrifice to the sky. and followed the advice of his subordinates and changed his name to Li Ye. Because the use of Min Zi is still quite large, it is too troublesome to avoid it everywhere. So it is more convenient for the emperor to change his name.
When worshipping the heavens, Lu Renbing and the civil and military officials fasted in the Wude Palace, the prime minister and the hundred officials wore court clothes, and Yang Fugong and his two younger brothers also stood next to Lu Renbing in court clothes. At this time, someone picked on the wrong place, because according to the etiquette system, eunuchs are not allowed to wear court clothes as auxiliary sacrifices, and the matter of worshiping heaven and respecting ancestors cannot be sloppy.
made Yang Fugong unable to come to power, this matter seems simple, but it is actually a sign that the courtiers or the feudal town launched an attack on the arrogant and domineering Yang Fugong.
They can no longer tolerate Yang Fugong's unscrupulous expansion. Due to Lu Renbing's connivance, now Yang Fugong's righteous son is a festival envoy, an observer envoy, and there are more than a dozen assassins. Although they are all relatively remote military states, there are also Jiedu envoys like Yang Shouliang who are guarding in Hanzhong.
It can be said that Yang Fugong's current forces are larger and more difficult to deal with than in history. Those who were attached to Yang Fugong were born on the opposite side of the courtiers and the local feudal towns. Don't worry they'll be complicit with the rest of the town.
Coupled with the 600 prison army godsons sent by Yang Fugong, the pestle played a role in the land of various feudal towns, I dare not say, anyway, it is sure that it is disgusting.
Therefore, getting rid of Yang Fugong has become the consensus of everyone.
Officially, because he realized this, Lu Renbing wanted to protect Yang Fugong. It's as if it is a reason to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty to use Wei Zhongxian. Yang Fugong wants to step down, but he must not be brought down by Lu Renbing. After all, no matter how domineering Yang Fugong is, he also has the merit of supporting it. And it was the only force that supported Li Ye, who was still King Shou at the time, to ascend the throne.
