Chapter 0341 Yang Li~ Something?
The changes after the crowning pro-government are obvious to Liu Ying.
——After being summoned by Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, Shaofu Yangchengyan and Shanglin Yuan ordered Yang Li to wait outside Weiyang Palace in court clothes almost before Liu Ying rushed back to Weiyang Palace from Changle Palace.
It's just that, unlike in the past, when they were summoned by Liu Ying, the two people who were summoned today were not introduced into the palace in advance to wait.
After Liu Ying drove into Weiyang Palace from Sima Gate, changed his clothes in the dormitory, and arrived at the Xuanshu Palace, Yang Chengyan and Yang Li walked into the palace together in the sound of one after another calls.
"Hmm······"
"Is that too much trouble?"
Slightly surprised, Liu Ying could only adjust her sitting posture, quietly waiting for the two to take off their cloth shoes and untie their swords outside the palace gate, and then walk into the hall under the guidance of Lang Guan.
Almost at the same time that Liu Ying appeared in the field of vision, the two of them knelt on the ground together, and praised one after another: "Shaofu craftsman is the minister, Wuhou Chen Chengyang, I am here to see you by the order of Your Majesty~"
"Greetings to Your Majesty~~~"
"Shanglin Yuan ordered the ministers to leave, and I will meet you on the orders of Your Majesty, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to bow to ······"
The two long singing voices provoked Liu Ying to stand up, and gave up Yang Chengyan and Yang Li respectively, but barely let the upper body drive forward.
"I'm going to bow down."
"Give a seat."
said this sentence 'I am very good' with an indifferent face, and asked the two of them to sit down, and the faces of the three monarchs and ministers finally returned to their former ease.
For such a redundant and cumbersome etiquette, Liu Ying is actually quite scoffing from the bottom of her heart.
- You can get straight to the point, but you have to pretend to be 'hello' and ask Liu Ying, who has not yet reached the age of twenty, 'is it healthy', isn't this a pure waste of time?
But even if she doesn't like it, Liu Ying can only reluctantly accept that a similar situation will often appear in the second half of her life.
The reason is simple.
In the past, when he had not yet been crowned pro-government, no matter how Liu Ying summoned ministers, his nature was limited to 'the Son of Heaven was idle and wanted to talk to someone'.
No matter how important the content of this conversation is, there is no need for too formal etiquette.
Gai is not yet pro-government, which means that Liu Ying theoretically has no power to negotiate with courtiers about government affairs at all;
Even if Liu Ying is in fact just going to summon people to discuss business, it must be interpreted as 'blind chatting'.
But after the crown ceremony and the clear permission of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant, the situation was different.
From now on, as long as Liu Ying does not do an explanation such as 'it's not a big deal, just a few small talks, let so-and-so order at will, just wear regular clothes', then it will inevitably be regarded as the right thing to do by default!
Regardless of the content of the conversation between the two sides, whether it is a major political event of internal governance and foreign affairs, or a short time for parents before and after tea, the formal etiquette of 'the monarch and the minister playing the right game' is bound to be completed.
This is because after the crown pro-government, the Son of Heaven summoned the ministers, and he must, and can only discuss the major affairs of the court;
Even if Liu Ying is actually looking for someone to chat and fart, she has to whitewash it to the outside world and call it 'Shangcuo Dynasty Government'.
If this is not the case, the public opinion that 'the Son of Heaven summoned the ministers to the palace, but only to chat and fart' will destroy the image and prestige of the court and even the Son of Heaven himself;
When it spreads, there may even be a talk among the people that 'we ordinary people are still digging in the soil to eat, but the emperor Laozi is chatting with his courtiers'.
"Whew~~~"
"Foolish policy, ah······"
"Or rather, the limitations of the times."
After secretly slandering herself, Liu Ying also shook her head to herself, and turned her attention to Yang Chengyan and Yang Li, who were already seated.
From an objective point of view, fooling the people is indeed something that only an incompetent regime can do.
However, from a specific point of view, from the specific situation of the Han dynasty today, the extremely backward ruling method of 'foolish people' also has great necessity and undoubted cost performance.
To be precise, before the Han dynasty popularized basic education on a large scale and enlightened the people's wisdom, to a certain extent, fooling the people was the most important effective means of ruling the Han family.
Therefore, at this moment, Liu Ying, as the Son of Heaven, should use this time to do something practical instead of sighing about the expedient measure of 'foolish people', so that the day of popularization of education will come as soon as possible.
"King Wu's matter, Wuhou and Yang Qing have already heard of it?"
Without any beating around the bush, just a fluttering question, Liu Ying introduced the topic to the topic.
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Yang Chengyan and Yang Li nodded slowly, and their faces, which were originally quite relaxed, sank in an instant.
Regarding the matter of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, 'complaining about the high price of grain in Shaofu', other courtiers and marquis may not know about it, but Yang Chengyan, who is the secretary of Shaofu, can be called completely 'familiar'.
——From the time when Shaofu officially operated grain and rice, monopolized the grain market in Guanzhong, and sold grain to Kanto at a higher price under Liu Ying's instructions, the attack of the princes of the Kwantung clan on Yangchengyan has never stopped.
The difference is only that the way the Kwantung princes attacked Yangchengyan can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Smart people, such as Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, and Liu Fei, the king of Qi, did not directly attack Yangchengyan, but said vaguely: Your Majesty, the grain sold to Guandong by Yangchengyan seems to be much higher than the price of grain in Guanzhong?
I just don't know about this, has Yang Shaofu asked His Majesty?
When asked like this, the face on the face was not torn, and it also saved Liu Ying enough face, Liu Ying naturally could perfunctory two sentences, "This matter Shaofu said, because of the problem of transportation costs, Uncle Wang and Brother Wang bear with it a little, and it will be fine in a few years", and turned the page on this matter.
And Liu Jiao and Liu Fei can also take advantage of this, and when they learned that this matter was done by Liu Ying herself, they immediately died down and thought about their future methods.
A little stupider, it is a second goods like Liu Chang, the king of Yan, who wrote a letter of impeachment if he disagreed, accusing Yangchengyan of 'mistreating the brothers and sisters of the Son of Heaven and dividing the relatives of the Heavenly Family', and begging Liu Ying to 'behead Yangchengyan to settle the world'.
For such a living treasure, Liu Yingzi, as an elder brother, could not be stingy, and sent warmth as soon as possible.
——20 big boards, 200 fines, 3 months!
What's more stupid is Liu Bi's cowardice, who doesn't dare to accuse Yangchengyan on the surface, but secretly complains to the 'left and right': Shaofu's rice is too expensive, how can this widow feed the people under his rule?
The reason why Liu Bi's approach is even more stupid than Liu Chang, the king of Yan who directly impeached Yangchengyan, is because in this era, Liu Bi's approach has a rather lofty nickname.
- Resentment!
Looking at today, no one knows: Shaofu's official grain and rice is the major policy of the national dynasty that Liu Ying single-handedly promoted when he was still the crown prince???
As a result, Liu Bi was good, first, he didn't write to persuade Liu Ying, and second, he didn't write to scold Yangchengyan, but he secretly poked and poked in the back, saying bad things about Shaofu and government-run grain and rice?
That is, Liu Ying is kind-hearted, and Liu Wei bears the surname Liu, Liu Ying doesn't want to be infamous as 'killing the clan's own siblings' too early;
Otherwise, this one thing alone is enough for Liu Ying to put a 'ill-intentioned' hat on Liu Bi's head!
Of course, Liu Bi's stupidity is still hindered by Liu Bi's cowardice enough, so his stupidity is limited.
In the matter of Shaofu being run by the government and selling high-priced grain to Kanto, the most stupid one is Liu Ruyi, the king of Huainan.
——This naïve His Royal Highness the King of Huainan was forced by Yangchengyan to open his eyes and tell nonsense, accusing Yangchengyan of being a former Qin military craftsman, and after receiving the favor of the Han family, he still 'regained Qin's heart to the point of immortality'!
In the end, this accusation was only for Liu Ruyi, who had exhausted all his skills, in exchange for a three-year renewal card called 'I can't see my mother'.
And in the past few years, almost every time the princes of the Eastern Territories wrote a letter, explicitly or implicitly accusing Shaofu of 'selling high-priced grain', Yangchengyan basically climbed in front of Liu Ying for the first time, and prayed to Liu Ying with tears in his eyes: Your Majesty save the ministers!
After a long time, although Yangchengyan has long been a little numb to the attack of the Kwantung princes, the attention has not been seen at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that before the envoy sent by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, came to Chang'an, and even before he had time to enter the palace to meet Liu Ying, Yang Chengyan probably guessed that this was another envoy of the princes and kings who accused him of 'causing trouble in the world'······
As for Yang Li, although he has been away from Chang'an for a long time, as Yangchengyan's henchmen, the two of them are former superiors and subordinates, and they can also hear the wind from Yangchengyan's mouth.
So at this moment, when Liu Ying asked, 'You both know about Liu Bi's matter', the attention of the two of them was already focused on the next link.
- The solution to the problem.
Just think about it: For Liu Ying today, it will definitely not be a trivial matter to be able to summon Yang Chengyan and Yang Li's two close subordinates at the same time, and at the same time not bring other important ministers, such as Prime Minister Cao Shen, Neishi Wang Ling and others.
In other words, since Liu Ying summoned these two people separately and asked Liu Bi, the king of Wu, for the first time, Liu Ying's real purpose must be to let the two of them make a move to solve Liu Bi's matter.
Thinking of this, Yang Li only subconsciously frowned, but because of his identity and the 'agreement' with Liu Ying earlier, he didn't speak first.
Yang Chengyan on the side, his expression was full of depression for a long time, and finally he shook his head and sighed, straightened up, and bowed his hand to Liu Ying slightly.
"Your Majesty."
"King Wu is bitter and the rice is expensive, although this move is slightly inappropriate, but his words are not unreasonable."
"As early as the time of Liu Jia, the king of Jing, the land of Jing and Wu has suffered from the lack of people's mouths and the barrenness of acres of fields."
"And today's Wu State is located in the south of the river, one is not as dangerous as Yan and Dai, the second is not as dangerous as Zhao and Liang, and the third is not as rich as the merchants of Qi and the land of Chu."
"More Wu country, in addition to being able to fish because of the sea, and boiling the sea to get salt, opening mountains to get copper, there is almost no other way······"
said this with a sad face, and between Yang Chengyan's eyebrows, he couldn't help but be a little cautious.
"The benefits of fish and salt should be valued by the benefits of salt;"
"However, since His Majesty ordered his ministers to send young craftsmen and officials to open salt fields in Wudongguang, and get salt by drying in the sea, the benefits of boiling salt are no longer available to King Wu."
"It is also a matter of 'prohibiting the people from riding the mountains privately', which cannot be done unless His Majesty's edict allows;"
"Therefore, if the king of Wu wants to feed his people, he has no choice but to cultivate land to persuade farming, and go to sea to fish and catch both."
"In the opinion of the ministers: these two alone may not be enough to make the king of Wu fully support his people······"
Roughly explaining his understanding of Wu Guo, Yang Chengyan lowered his head and put on a contemplative posture, but in fact, he waited for Liu Ying tightly.
- Even if you are a clever woman, it is difficult to cook without rice.
Wu Guo, which has almost nothing, is really difficult to think of what other industries besides salt and copper can change the bad situation.
Especially after the initial results of Shaofu's salt drying and the devastating impact on the traditional 'boiled salt' process, the only way out for Wu seems to be only copper mines.
However, this item is related to the stability of the Jongmyo community, the unification of the currency system in the world, and the security of the central-local pattern······
"Hmmm······"
"What Shaofu said is true."
"The income from fishing and agriculture alone is indeed not enough to support the people of Wu State."
"However, the benefits of salt and copper are the foundation of the society, and they must not be privately held by the princes."
With an indifferent expression, but the tone was extremely tough, Liu Ying raised her upper body slightly, adjusted her sitting posture, and then looked at Yang Chengyan and Yang Li for a while.
"Therefore, I summoned Shaofu and Yang Qing today, and I wanted to ask for advice on this matter."
"——In addition to the products of fishery and agriculture, the benefits of copper and salt, a new law can be obtained for the state of Wu to support its own people, so that the king of Wu will no longer have the reason to selfishly complain about the Shaofu's 'expensive rice is lost to the east'?"
Throwing the problem to Yang Chengyan and Yang Li, Liu Ying lowered her head with a light smile, picked up the tea bowl in front of her, and tasted the tea by herself.
The problem of Wu Guo is indeed very difficult to handle.
But if it is not difficult to do, then Liu Ying does not need to summon these two confidants into the palace to discuss countermeasures;
The court doesn't have to spend millions of stones a year to support this noisy minister and courtier.
- Isn't the problem just to be solved?
- Courtiers, isn't it just to help the monarch solve problems?
If you can't even solve this problem, then this Manchu dynasty hero will call himself 'Junjie' in vain.
I don't know if it's because of this matter, it's because of the Shaofu under his command, Yang Chengyan only frowned together after seeing Liu Ying's tough attitude.
Seeing Yang Chengyan's posture, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but the afterglow swept to Yang Li, who was on Yang Chengyan's side, with only a thoughtful posture of wanting to speak and stopping.
"If Yang Qing has a good strategy, he can also speak out; If it is used, I will reward it again! ”
Liu Ying's words seemed to make Yang Li let go of his estimates, and he didn't even bother to say the polite words of 'no reward', so he hurriedly got up and bowed.
"Your Majesty."
"As Your Majesty and the Marquis of Wu said: In addition to the benefits of copper and salt, those who can support the people of Wu can only fish and agriculture remain."
"Of the two, farmers rely on the fertilizer and breadth of the soil and the mixing and sufficiency of water, so it is not easy to make agricultural products abundant."
"But the fisherman depends on the solidity of the boat and the bed, and the strength and width of the net;"
"If the country of Wu is given strong boats and wide nets, and the fishing industry is developed by the sea······"
As if he had said something, Yang Li stopped talking for a while, frowned and thought for a moment, and then nodded to himself.
"I think this is the law, maybe you can give it a try."
