189 Bury a thorn
It is Liu Wan'er's eldest brother Liu Xiguang who maintains law and order in Xingcheng, he knows what kind of temper King Jing is, if something goes wrong, he must have no good fruit to eat.
Lord Liu didn't know who to resent, so he could only scold the relatives of the person who made the idea in his heart.
What kind of moths are there all day long, one will attract investment and one will be border trade, don't you know how much trouble you bring to others?
But he also thought about it, it was King Jing who made the decision, he really didn't dare to provoke it now, didn't he see Shangguan Jiao with his tail between his legs?
This time the border trade was opened, and Honglu Temple was responsible for registration. Merchants can join in formation as long as they have ships. If there is no boat, as long as they pass the assessment, they can also participate with labor or skill.
At one time, nearly a hundred small boats and countless crews were gathered. The larger the number of participants, the more bold the participants become, and the more others are attracted to join.
Always encourage the first person to eat crabs, this is what Luo Xiaoqiao said.
So at the beginning, there was almost no threshold for signing up, but as the number of people increased, the requirements also increased, and in the end, in addition to buying necessary items such as telescopes from the Northland, there was also a lot of escort fees.
If anyone is not happy about this result, it is the big landlords of the Northland.
They found that the first thing was to open up the wasteland, which caused them to lose a lot of labor.
Then there was the construction of roads, then the building of ships, which attracted more people......
In King Jing's mansion, Feng Bosong and the others sat on chairs, listening to the man at the head of the task assigning.
"Lord Wang, the situation is good now, the businessmen are stable, and there are more people who are willing to come", General Hua touched his beard, "That little girl is really good"
"General Hua, which girl are you talking about?" Chu Renyi, the same acquaintance of Xingcheng who followed Fu Wei, asked.
General Hua coughed, thinking that they were all his own people, and it would be good to say hello first, so he hid his name and only said a little girl, which gave Beidi a lot of ideas.
Chu Renyi frowned a little after hearing this: "Lord Wang, the lower officials don't know the situation in the north, and there are some things that may not be said well, but the lower officials still want to remind one or two." ”
"Please say", Mu Jingyi raised his eyes and looked at him, this group of people, all of them voluntarily came to the north to help, and he would give the respect that should be given.
"This little girl mentioned by General Hua, the officials secretly thought that it was a bit excessive."
As soon as he finished saying this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze a little, and Feng Bosong took the lead in pulling down his face, but he didn't say anything, and waited quietly for his next words.
"Don't say anything else, just talk about the shipping in the north", Chu Renyi slowly analyzed.
"Xia Guan just heard General Hua's words, the little girl saw the people become tenant farmers a few years ago, so she began to buy soybeans, and then encouraged the prince to open border trade, right?"
General Hua and the others nodded, that's right.
"So, although opening border trade has indeed helped us a lot in the north, has the prince ever thought about this little girl's scheming? She must have been aware of the evils of land annexation since years ago, and wanted to change it but had no way, encouraging the prince to open up wasteland and encourage border trade, what was the result? ”
Chu Renyi's voice resounded alone in the hall: "The result is that the road construction has allowed the people to have work, the wasteland has allowed the people to have land to plant, and now the border trade is opened, and the people can do more things." So who goes to farm? What are the big landlords who spent huge sums of money to annex land now? Does he have to lower his rent in order to find someone to work for him? ”
"This little girl didn't say anything about it, and she didn't say anything about changing the land annexation. But all these things she did, added up, the result was that the family with a lot of land suffered, and she kept digging holes, making people stupidly jump in. ”
Chu Renyi really wronged Luo Xiaoqiao, she is a technical talent, where is there such a heavy scheming? These methods are also copied from the cats and tigers, and the methods of the predecessors, but in the eyes of these ancients, they are indeed very rebellious, but they make her scheming.
Feng Bosong frowned as he listened: "Master Chu, you don't know that girl, she is not as complicated as you think." ”
Chu Renyi said: "I just want to remind you that there are crises everywhere in the Northland, and you must be careful. Judging from everyone's description, this girl is wise and close to a demon. If it is true that she has a master, as she said, then even if she has no ambition, what about her master? ”
"Okay, Master Chu, if you have the opportunity to have more contact with this girl in the future, you will change your mind. Your point is not wrong, this king will pay attention", Mu Jingyi interrupted him a little coldly.
What that girl is like, he knows in his heart that he will not allow a person who doesn't understand the situation to come out and muddy Luo Xiaoqiao's reputation.
"Yes, Lord Wang", Chu Renyi is also a good person, he didn't say anything when he saw this, the nails should have been buried, and someone would always care.
Although the north is far away from Kyoto, when there are merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who are pure and want to rush to the north, the people who sit in the court naturally get the news.
The emperor sat in the top position, his face was gloomy, and his palm slapped the table with a mountain sound: "That rebel!" What the hell is he trying to do? ”
"Father Qi, Lord Shangguan urgently sent a message that rice has really been grown in the north, and the yield is even comparable to that of the south of the Yangtze River."
"His wings are stiff", the emperor looked at the second prince with displeasure. "Didn't you say that rice can't be grown in the Northland? Yes? Don't you all pat your chests and say that the north is bitter cold? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister should die, the minister is panicking", Zuo Xiang hurriedly knelt down: "But the top priority now is to prevent King Jing from opening the sea"
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the reason why King Jing opened the sea was because Liang Zhitian closed Lu Pass for no reason. Once the Lu Pass is closed, the grain and grass in the north will be in short supply, and it can only be the end of starvation, and King Jing will open border trade in order to survive, which is also understandable", the Ministry of Works, who has never liked to talk, stepped forward and said.
"I don't care what his reason is, no one can open a border trade without my order", the emperor yawned, a little tired.
"Enlighten the emperor, an urgent letter from Father-in-law De", and another eunuch came urgently.
"Bastard thing", after the emperor saw it, he stood up directly.
In order to avoid responsibility, the father-in-law of Nade added fuel and vinegar to the letter, telling that King Jing was fooled by an old man who was about to die and refused to hand over the formula of the firearm.
The emperor's pupils constricted, and his back was cold: "Prince, you took the three princes and went to the north to send a decree to prohibit King Jing from opening border trade." ”
He paused for a moment and then said, "At the same time, go over and take back the Tiger Talisman of the Back Wei Army, and let Yun Jingtian take care of the Back Wei Army!" King Zhaojing returned to Beijing to report on his work! ”
The second prince was a little chilled after hearing this, was he suspicious? Send the three princes and the crown prince over?
Before he could finish his thoughts, the minister's voice rang out, interrupting his train of thought.
"The emperor can't," Hulala knelt down a few ministers.
"Your Majesty, King Jing is not at fault, the north is his fiefdom, and the back army is extremely difficult to tame, and the recall of the Tiger Fu for no reason is afraid that it will cause turmoil", the Imperial Doctor almost made it clear that the recall of the Tiger Fu would force the anti-Jing Wang.
