Li Zhi listened to these words very carefully, but he didn't understand a single word.

Or rather, he didn't feel the need to understand.

As long as there are those of his courtiers who understand, he is only here to enjoy the results.

If it weren't for Yun Chu's second debt to Jiang Tong, Yun Chu would probably not have seen Li Zhi's good face

Target.

Everything in the world, and even people, belong to Li Zhi, so when the country and the people were safe, money was not as important to Li Zhi as people imagined.

What he cares about is the handle of a wealthy family in his hands, especially the handle that can break the family at any time. Once this handle is grasped by him, it will make these people a dilemma of life and death, after all, if they don't pay back the money they owe, they will reach that era

white

I can't say anything.

Such a handle is much better than using imperial power to directly coerce.

Chang'an City has lived a bartering life for a long time, and it has not had a big impact on the people of Chang'an.

This kind of thing was still prevalent even when Yun Chu was young, when there was not much money in the countryside, and the circulation was actually grain.

Grain for watermelon, for fruit, for rice, of course, there are also for eggs, that time, Yun Chu was not less beaten.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an has been harmed by them this time, and the accounts that Weichen wants to collect must be collected at that time."

Seeing Yun Chu's eyes looking elsewhere and boldly saying his request, Li Zhi became even more happy

"I know, I know, you have to repair Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace, and the dilapidated city of Chang'an City will be demolished and rebuilt on a large scale, all of which need to be supported by money and food, well, no wonder you have so much courage to talk about Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.

However, you still have to tell me, why do you have to spend all the money in the treasury of Wannian and Chang'an counties every time? Are you worried that I'll replace you all of a sudden?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said; "I really don't think like this, Wechen thinks that if there is money in the county government, it must be spent, you don't see that the county government only spent its own money, but when the money enters the market, it will produce several times or even ten times the benefit of the money that Weichen spent.

Drive the relevant upstream and downstream workshops, so that the people will benefit, Your Majesty will benefit, in short, it is a good thing for mutual achievement.

Only when money moves can money be generated.

Copper coins that are kept in a warehouse cannot be called money. ”

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Chu's face and said suspiciously: "There are many truths that are right and wrong, I don't understand them, and I don't want to understand them." ”

Wu Mei, who was not far away, had obviously been eavesdropping, and then said, "The last book is sparse, and the palace is very interested." ”

Hearing Wu Mei say this, Yun Chu's heart sank, this ghost woman was already able to unabashedly ask a minister to show her in front of Li Zhi.

Yun Chu didn't agree immediately, but turned his gaze to Li Zhi, it was best for him to make a decision, at least there was no problem with his position for now.

Li Zhi smiled: "If you like to read it, let him write it for you." ”

The emperor said so, and Yun Chu immediately bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys." ”

Li Zhi seemed to have something to say to Yun Chu, but in the end he turned his head and talked to Liu Renliang, ignoring Yun Chu and Wen Wen anymore.

Coming out of Liu Renliang's house hungry, he said to Yun Chu softly: "The royal family has been living in Jiucheng Palace recently. in.

Yun Chu said: "Jiucheng Palace is near Chencang, which means that the emperor has already come to Chang'an, and he also went to Jiucheng Palace through Chang'an. ”

Said gently: "I went secretly, so far, everyone still thinks that the emperor and the queen are still in the Ziwei Palace City in Luoyang."

I can even venture to guess that during this time, there were probably more secret spies around a few of us than we thought. ”

"Actually, it's all obvious, for the emperor, as long as the two of us are not from a wealthy family, it's fine.

As long as it is not from a wealthy family, then what happened in Luoyang City has nothing to do with a few of us.

When I left, Xu Jingzong, the old thief, was extremely envious that we could leave Luoyang, and I looked at it from the eyes of this old thief

It can be seen that Luoyang is not a very auspicious city for a few of us. ”

Staying away from the emperor is sometimes a good thing, but staying away from the emperor is equivalent to staying away from the political center. The source of power in the Tang Dynasty is the emperor, and all power comes from the emperor, including the divine power of the Tang Dynasty.

When the evening bell of the Great Grace Temple rings, the pigeons on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda begin to fly again, this is their last flight of the day, and when the bell rings, they will enter their habitat. (

Sometimes, there are occasional shadows of goshawks in the sky over Chang'an, but these goshawks will only spy on Chang'an for a while, and then fly away immediately.

Although the city is full of delicious food under the sharp gaze of the goshawk, the goshawk does not fall to fetch it, which is too dangerous for it.

Even when it was dark, the two big canteens in Chang'an City were still brightly lit, especially the location of their braised meat kitchen, where there was always a strong fragrance.

Many people passing by the high wall will involuntarily stand outside the wall, smelling the smell of meat coming from the high wall.

As long as there is the smell of meat here, it means that Chang'an has become normal.

The main thing in the braised meat kitchen is beef, and the yaks from Qinghai Tou, which were originally detained by Xu Jingye, have now all entered Chang'an City safely.

It's just that this time, Xu Jingye's people didn't mention money, and Yun Chu didn't know that there was such a thing.

Anyone who does something wrong or is on the wrong side of the line is always punished, right?

In the matter of Yun Chu and Cui Mian's fight, Xu Jingye showed his ambitious and talented side as always, he was more than sixty percent sure that Yun Chu would win, when Cui Mian showed his strength, he decisively leaned towards Cui Mian, and even Cui Mian did not invite him, he actively participated in the team that surrounded Yun Chu.

Yun Chu and Wen Wen, who were hungry, were invited by Li Ji to his house for dinner.

Yun Chu knew that this meal should not be edible.

After I went, I found that this was indeed the case, because Li Ji did not prepare meals, only wine.

There is a round table, three stone benches, and three jars of wine in the octagonal pavilion, which is all the content of Li Ji's dinner.

Moreover, one of the jars of wine was drunk by Li Ji for more than half of it.

"The cattle sent by Xu Jingye, you can keep it, you don't have to give money." Before they met, Li Ji put down the wine jar, didn't care about wiping off the strings of wine on his beard, and got straight to the point.

Yun Chu smiled: "I didn't plan to give money, and the cattle he sent behind him didn't want to receive money." ”

Li Ji handed a jar of wine to Yun Chu and said, "The old man appreciates it." ”

Yun Chu and Wen Wen raised the wine jar and took a sip alone, and Yun Chu said: "I thought that Xu Jingye would lead the army to fight with the Tubo people for Dafeichuan, but I didn't expect that the Tubo people had already retreated westward, and he still didn't have the courage to enter Dafeichuan." ”

Li Jidao: "What you trust is not human. ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Ying Gong is also disappointed, isn't he?"

Li Jichang sighed and said: "As long as he advances to the west, every inch of mountains and rivers he advances may be his."

Said gently: "He may think that as long as he stays in Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun is his." Li Ji said: "That's the truth. ”

Yun Chu looked at this famous general who understood everything, but couldn't change anything, put down the wine jar and said, "Yinggong doesn't have to say it

Any word, the younger generation understands. ”

Li Ji laughed and said, "Do you know what the old man is going to say?"

Yun Chu smiled: "Yesterday I met a white-haired beauty and asked me if she was beautiful, she used to be very beautiful, and now when she asks if she is beautiful, I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Li Jidao: "So, is the old man beautiful?"

Yun Chu put down the wine jar and said: "Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. ”

After reading these two poems, Yun Chu got up and left Li Ji's house, and it was not until after going out that he said gently: "Li Ji has something to ask us." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "Forget it, let Xu Jingye go again, if you let Li Ji say this, I'm worried that this old guy will die tomorrow." ”

Gently patted his groggy head and said, "The emperor took away all the authority of Duke Ying and warned him, right?"

+

Yun Chu sneered and said: "It's not Xu Jingye who is looking for it himself, if he doesn't advance to Dafeichuan according to the emperor's ideas, and gradually encroach on Tubo Qinghai, he will come to Hexi again and again to plunder."

You look at the emperor and are about to clean up Xu Jingye. ”

Gentlely, he suddenly realized: "Duke Ying thought that the emperor would send you to reorganize Tuyuhun's military affairs. "It's not unusual for him to have this idea, and now there are two chaotic points that can make the emperor see it, one is in Yingzhou, and the other is in Tuyuhun.

Xue Rengui went to Yingzhou, and Pei Xingjian was busy quelling the rebellion in the Western Regions, so they took it for granted that I went to Tuyuhun.

As a result, he still mislooked at me, and also misjudged the emperor, I really didn't have much interest in fighting, and the emperor valued Chang'an at this time, and he wouldn't allow me to go out.

Ying Gong still thinks highly of his grandson, but I don't know that in my eyes or in the eyes of the emperor, Xu Jingye is nothing, and there is no need to use my knife to kill him, a black tooth is enough. ”

Gently hearing the name of Hei Tooth Changzhi, she frowned and said: "This person has received a lot of favors from us in Liaodong, and after returning to Datang, he will stay away from us, what is the reason?"

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Because the emperor has taken a fancy to him, no matter how much kindness we have to him, it is not as good as being loyal to the emperor."

Moreover, the emperor now began to have the idea of gradually consuming the generals, and if you look at the recent newspapers, the positions of many generals have been adjusted, and the garrison has also changed.

The generals in the north went to the south, and the generals in the south went to the north, but I don't know if the emperor will use them to death. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yun Chu's stomach gurgled, and he gently pointed to a small wonton stall on the corner of the street and said, "While you have it, let's have a meal, I always feel that if I don't eat now, I won't have anything to eat today." ”

Yun Chu looked up and saw the door of Pingkangfang, which was the time when Pingkangfang was full of lights and tourists.

Today, it is deserted here, and even the wonton stalls supported by the old couple seem extremely lonely. Yun Chu said: "Actually, the snacks on Fengyue Street have always tasted good. ”

Gently dismounted: "You have never been to Qinglou, where did you get these experiences?"

Yun Chu pointed to his head and said: "Because the men and women here are the most willing to spend money, because they are willing to spend money, the owners of the food stalls can make a lot of money, because they can make a lot of money, they are willing to spend their time to make the snacks more delicious."

You see this small stall, even the bowl of wontons is boiling in boiling water, this should not be the consciousness that the couple should have, but a certain doctor from the Tai Hospital who is proficient in medical skills, after visiting the Qinglou, he was not satisfied with the wontons, and gave the old couple his opinion. ”

Said gently: "What's the use of boiling water to cook a bowl?"

"Because there is a saying in the hospital that the reason why human wounds fester, it is entirely because there is a very small insect that is doing tricks, and boiling water can kill all those little insects.

It's like boiling the linen cloth used on the sick wound in the hospital and drying it in the sun. ”

Gentle laughed and said, "How do you know that this is how the allusion to boiling water to cook bowls comes from?"

Yun Chu smiled and pressed his hand on the shoulder of the only diner on the wonton stand, and said with a smile:

"Lao He, did you say?"
