Chapter 121: The Fall of Liyang
Li Yizhi explained: "The Four Seas Money Village has not yet been established, and it is only a matter of the past two days, because I have some friendship with Tian Wen, the owner of the money bank, so I was able to borrow 300,000 taels of silver from him. For Tian Wen, I believe you should have heard of it. ”
Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi glanced at each other, nodded silently, and did not ask any further.
They have been in officialdom for many years and are the most sensitive.
At the beginning, Tian Wen was beaten by Yu Wenhua and became a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and the whole city searched.
Not long after, Li Yizhi became a taishou, and after seizing real power, he immediately lifted Tian Wen's arrest.
Among them, it is obvious that there is a confrontation between Li Yizhi and Yu Wenhua.
And now, Tian Wen was originally a poor scholar, but he could open a money bank, and it was 300,000 taels of silver as soon as he made a move, and it was obvious that there were people behind him.
And it's not good, the people behind this are too guarded, otherwise who has such a big face, and is willing to borrow 300,000 taels of silver at once.
"The 300,000 taels of silver were not lent to us at one time, but only a quota, which can only be received with my handwriting. At the same time, for Qian Zhuang, who is so well aware of righteousness, the official decided to support his development. ”
Li Yizhi tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said: "In the future, all the taxes of Jiangdu County will be deposited in the Four Seas Money Village, and we need to use the money in the Taishou Mansion, and we can only go to the money village to withdraw it after getting my approval." At the same time, in the future, all the officials and soldiers of Jiangdu County will open an account in Sihai Qianzhuang, and everyone's monthly income will be directly deposited into their respective accounts. ”
Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi were shocked, and they immediately thought of Li Yizhi's purpose, which was to control Jiangdu County more closely through the Four Seas Money Village.
In addition, all the officials and government soldiers have opened accounts in the Four Seas Money Village, and the phenomenon of deducting money from the top has been eliminated, so as to gain more support from the low-level officials and government soldiers.
Although this practice is not in accordance with the rules, they do not dare to object, in this troubled world, what are the rules and regulations.
The two of them could only secretly say in their hearts, and said respectfully: "Yes, Taishou." ”
"Although we borrowed this silver from Sihai Qianzhuang to solve our urgent needs, we also have to find ways to vigorously increase tax revenue."
Li Yizhi paused and said, "Therefore, I have decided to abolish various checkpoints in the territory to encourage business development and increase business taxes. I don't know if you guys have any other way? ”
As soon as Xue Zhen was about to speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Then, a small official rushed in and hurriedly announced: "Qi Yu Taishou, Du Fuwei has captured Liyang." General Wei Chi invites you to go to the barracks to discuss the matter of guarding against Du Fuwei. ”
"What, Du Fuwei captured Liyang!"
Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi jumped up in horror, because further east of Liyang, it was Jiangdu County.
In other words, Duvowe has already hit the doorstep.
Li Yizhi's eyes froze, but his face was as usual, but his thoughts turned quickly.
Because he knew that even if Du Fuwei captured Liyang, he would not dare to advance eastward, because outside the Jiangdu Palace, there were more than 200,000 Xiaoguo troops stationed.
These Xiaoguo armies are based on the good family of Guanzhong, brave and good at fighting, and they are the elite army of the first class in the world.
Unless Du Fuwei's head is in the water, he will dare to go east.
In the original work, Du Fuwei also did not choose to go east, but chose to go south, crossed the Yangtze River, captured Danyang, and completely blocked the Yangtze River.
Since there is no need to worry about Du Fuwei coming in, then Wei Chisheng does not need to worry about inviting him to the barracks.
Not to mention, he is too conservative and doesn't care about the military, with the contradiction between him and Yu Wenhua, I am afraid that as soon as he enters the barracks, he will be pierced by ten thousand arrows, and they will not show mercy to his subordinates.
Therefore, Li Yizhi just shook his head lightly and said: "Taishou Mansion is only in charge of political affairs, to prevent Du Fuwei's affairs, just let General Wei Chi make his own decisions, and you can reply to the person who came to report the news like this." ”
The little official was a little overwhelmed, and the Taishou was indifferent to such a major matter.
There was no way, so he had to answer and turn around.
Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi were anxious in their hearts, they wanted to tell Li Yizhi about the seriousness of this matter, but they didn't dare to advise, after all, the relationship between Li Yizhi and Wei Chisheng was very acute.
Li Yizhi chuckled lightly and comforted the two of them: "You don't have to worry, you must know that the Jiangdu Palace has more than 200,000 Xiaoguo troops stationed. Duvowe is not so stupid, he will not fight. ”
Xue Zhen and the others suddenly understood, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said, "It's still too calm, we are all panicking." ”
"All right, go down. Liyang has been captured, and I am afraid that a large number of displaced people will pour in, so you must do a good job of resettlement and don't make any mistakes. Li Yizhi waved his hand.
"Yes, Taishou."
After Xue Zhen and the two went down, Li Yizhi sat on the Taishou chair, quietly thinking about the impact of this matter.
For a long time, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
It seems that his plan must be accelerated, and he must take this opportunity to get rid of Wei Chisheng and master the Yangzhou army.
Otherwise, when Yu Wenhua and the army rebelled, the situation that he could not manage would be completely buried.
Thinking of this, Li Yizhi stood up and walked out.
It is not difficult to get rid of Wei Chisheng, but the difficult thing is to take over the military power of the Yangzhou Army, and Li Yizhi can only achieve it by finding Yu Shiji and the two.
…………
Yangzhou military barracks, in the tent.
"General Qiyu, Li Taishou let people spread the word that he is only in charge of political affairs, and military affairs are decided by the general himself." The herald reported.
Wei Chisheng smiled disdainfully, he waved his hand and let the herald go down, then turned to Yu Wenhua on the side and said, "Brother Yuwen, it seems that our Li painter is a little timid, and he didn't even dare to come to the barracks." ”
Yu Wenhua said: "He is not cowardly, but cautious. As long as he dares to come to the barracks, we dare to keep him. ”
"Actually, he didn't dare to come to the barracks, we had expected it before, so we just tried him."
Wei Chisheng chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't expect that Du Fuwei's strength would swell so quickly that he had already captured Liyang, forcing me to send troops." ”
"Brother Wei Chi doesn't have to worry too much, although Du Fuwei was born recklessly, he is not a fool after all, and he does not dare to go east, so as not to attract the thunder suppression of the Xiaoguo Army."
Yu Wenhua put his hands behind his back and said: "When you send troops this time, as long as you send troops to Quanjiao County, you can make a move to defend Du Fuwei, and you can't fight with it rashly, so as not to lose the soldiers in vain." ”
Wei Chisheng nodded, if there is chaos today, military power is the foundation of his foundation, and he will naturally not consume troops with others in vain.
"That's right, Brother Yuwen. It is said that during this time, Yu Shiji's two old thieves said bad things about you in front of His Majesty again, causing you to be punished? ”
Yu Wenhua's face sank, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Yes, they used the excuse of the Goryeo assassin, and they didn't know how to hook up with Dugu Feng." The two of them worked together, so that I was a little alone in the court, which was really hateful. ”
"The Goryeo assassin is so powerful that he hasn't caught it until now?" Wei Chisheng was taken aback.
Yu Wenhua nodded and said: "The other party is Fu Cailin's disciple, and his martial arts are not much weaker than mine, although I have fought a few times, but she easily escaped every time." According to the current situation, if you want to change the current passive situation, you can only wait for Zhang Shihe to come back. As long as we get the account books of the Eastern Underworld Sect, we can easily defeat the Dugu Valve and the Li Valve. ”
"Boss, I'm back."
At this time, Zhang Shihe's voice sounded outside the tent.
