Li Er's life is actually a life full of struggle.

Fight the sky first, and then fight the earth.

I have fought my father and brother, and I have fought my brother.

In the end, Cai Dou came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his eyes.

In other words, in his life, the last thing he is afraid of is struggle.

Even if he wants to fight with his son now, he doesn't care, on the contrary, he is high-spirited.

The better Li Chengqian behaved, the more energetic he became.

Fang Xuanling: They felt that Li Chengqian's excessive limelight made Li Er think about something else, but in fact, was this really the case?

No, it's not like that.

Li Er, the person who is not afraid of competing with others. On the contrary, if no one competes with him, he still has a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold.

Only by continuing to fight, it seems that he can find a reason to continue.

In the past year, we only know what Li Chengqian did, and rarely talk about what Li Er did.

So now, let's recall what Li Er has done in the past year.

In total, in the past year, Li Er has done a total of three things.

First, the restoration of agriculture.

Second, revitalize culture and education.

Third, revitalize commerce and trade.

These are the three things that Li Er has focused on doing in the past year.

The reason why it is said to be the restoration of agriculture is, in the final analysis, because in the years since he succeeded to the throne, there have been natural disasters year after year, and he really feels a little bit of a shame.

Fortunately, this year can be regarded as a year of good weather and rain, and no major disasters have been reported in any state and county.

As an agriculture-based country, the famine in the past few years also gave Li Er a headache.

But since last year, the situation has finally improved.

The grain in the treasury is not full of grains, but at least it is not tight.

As for the revitalization of culture and education, it was done incidentally with the help of Li Chengqian's cheap paper.

Don't look at it as incidental, but for Li Er, this matter is second only to agriculture as a national matter.

In fact, this is the case in all dynasties, after filling the stomach, that is, the construction of spiritual civilization, coupled with the current special environment, the revitalization of culture and education is also an urgent thing.

Any emperor or any ruling court, but who has such a lost vision, is unwilling to see a small number of people control culture and education, which is not a good thing for a country.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to revitalize culture and education, and it is by no means possible to see results in a year and a half.

Everyone knows this in their hearts.

However, now that the style of Shangwen is flourishing, the library building is also crowded every day, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Finally, there is the revitalization of commerce.

In this matter, Li Er really took advantage of it.

Originally, after just a few years of famine, and not long after the founding of the country, the national strength was still recovering, although commerce existed, but it was very limited, but because of the things that Li Chengqian tossed out, it stimulated the development of commerce.

Li Er naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, so in the past year, he has vigorously encouraged the development of business, not to mention, it really made him make some achievements.

Not to mention anything else, at least last year's commercial tax was as high as the sum of the past few years.

It is precisely because of these that Li Er has the confidence to fight Goguryeo.

……

The next day, at noon.

There was light snow in Chang'an City.

Even though it was a snowy day, the pedestrians on the street were still flowing endlessly.

That's life.

Tang Yueming sat in the box facing the street of Changming Restaurant, looking at the endless crowd on the street, and didn't know what he was thinking, of course, his main purpose was to wait for those salt merchants yesterday.

When he returned yesterday, he consulted with the people in the caravan.

If he wants to get ahead this time, he must do one thing, and that is to suppress Qingyan.

There is another episode in the reason why there is such a decision, and that is the attitude of the eldest grandson.

Speaking of the eldest grandson's attitude, he was actually confused before last night, but it was also last night that someone asked him a question that hit the soul.

It was that question that made him wake up from a dream, and in an instant it seemed that he understood everything.

After a while, a familiar figure finally appeared on the street, Tang Yueming smiled: "The distinguished guest has arrived, make a pot of tea." ”

After saying that, he continued to watch the endless flow of the street.

And those salt merchants seemed to have made an appointment, and they came one after another.

"I really shouldn't have made Shopkeeper Tang wait for a long time." As soon as I entered the box, someone said with a smile.

Tang Yueming also hurriedly got up and said, "The kid just came early, why wait for a long time, come, please take a seat." ”

Since they are all here, it means that they agreed to yesterday's plan.

As for those who didn't come, they won't come.

What wait until sunset, hehe, just talk, don't take it seriously.

Besides, if it's really coming, it's already here, who will really drag it out until that time.

If you really want to come at that time, it is enough to see that it is not sincere.

"This time, Shopkeeper Tang has to take us to make a fortune together." Someone immediately laughed.

Tang Yueming said with a smile: "Don't say that, everyone will get rich together, but this time, the kid may have one more thing to trouble everyone." ”

"What's the trouble or not, shopkeeper Tang said it directly." Someone immediately asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this refined salt starts to be sold, and the price of coarse salt will definitely be affected, and the green salt ......"

As soon as they heard Tang Yueming say this, everyone immediately understood, and someone immediately said: "What should I do, everyone understands this matter, Tang Shopkeeper looks at it, and for the rest of the month, I will call it green salt in Chang'an City, and it is difficult to get out of the grain!" ”

They also discussed this for a long time yesterday.

In business, cracking down on green salt is not a bad thing for them.

Moreover, the cost of green salt is already higher than theirs, even if they fight a price war, green salt is not an opponent.

Of course, in fact, the cost of green salt is actually much lower than that of coarse salt, but Murong Fuyun has to pass it, and with layers of exploitation, the cost will also come up.

In addition, this is smuggling after all, and although the government is not strict in its investigation, the water in it is still not shallow.

The combination of so many reasons has created a price advantage for coarse salt.

"Then there will be all of you." Tang Yueming immediately got up and arched his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up again and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, we also have something to ask for." ”

"Please."

The man said: "That's right, this refined salt is indeed beneficial, and according to what the shopkeeper Tang said yesterday, if it is really sold all over the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed more profitable than coarse salt."

But the question is, will other places also go to Sun Moon Mountain to pick up the goods?

If that's the case, then the business will be difficult.

Also, although we all know the identity of the Ming Dynasty, there is still a food embargo in front, will there be a salt embargo in the back? If there is no explanation for this, we are not at ease. ”

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Tang Yueming, wanting to get an answer from him.

Tang Yueming looked at everyone, nodded, and said, "Your worried boys also understand, let's talk about whether there will be a salt embargo."

At this point, you can rest assured.

Although the refined salt came from Daming, you should also know that this business is not something that a kid can afford.

I'll just tell you this, the relationship behind this business is all over the place.

And that one doesn't want to make money from this business, you should also be aware that at this price, to put it bluntly, it is the one who is sympathetic to the people, so he made a move to benefit the people.

So, at this point, you can rest assured.

As for whether someone will go to Sun Moon Mountain to pick up the goods.

Possibly, probably not.

But whether it will be or not, the boys can only guarantee one thing, that is, they will not be able to get a grain of salt from the official.

Because the entire Ming Dynasty exported the refined salt of the Tang Dynasty, it was only exported to that person, and the kid was just an errand runner.

The reason why he said that it was possible was that the kid didn't dare to say it to death.

If you really run into a person with a brain and go to the Sun Moon Mountain Salt Shop to buy salt and get it to Datang to sell smuggled salt, we can't help it, right?

However, at that price, he may have to lose his underwear three times when he gets it back. ”

"Haha, that's that."

When they heard him say this, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

As long as these two things are finalized, a heart hanging in everyone's hearts will fall.

As for the salt embargo or something, it's just their rhetoric.

What is the food embargo, don't they know yet?

"By the way, shopkeeper Tang, we also discussed it yesterday." Someone else said, "At this time, we have about a dozen people here, and we are thinking about whether we should sign an agreement to choose one state and one government for each of us and be the general agent of that state capital."

Then each of us picked up the goods from the shopkeeper Tang.

This also avoids some conflicts between us in order to expand our business. ”

I have to say that these businessmen really have brains.

If Li Chengqian was here, he would probably be surprised.

What is the general consignment, isn't it the general distribution of later generations?

Sure enough, all progress is changed step by step by life pushed.

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Tang Yueming didn't nod in a hurry, but thought about it.

He didn't dare to nod his head lightly on this matter, after all, what kind of policy Li Chengqian was, he didn't know yet, if it affected Li Chengqian's subsequent arrangements, his future would be over.

……

And at the same time as Tang Yueming and they discussed.

In the palace, Li Er, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chi Jingde and other court officials were also deliberating.

In fact, Li Jing and the others were a little stunned, after Li Er gathered everyone, he didn't speak, what kind of trouble is this?

Not long after, an attendant hurriedly ran in, and after whispering a few words in Li Er's ear, Li Er knew in his heart, and said immediately: "Fang Aiqing, can the treasury still support a big war now?" ”

Hearing Li Er's words, everyone was stunned.

Good guy, you held back such a fart for a long time?

"Your Majesty, although ......" Fang Xuanling said with a little stumbling.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Don't mention anything else, let's just say it, can the treasury support the army of Goguryeo now?" ”

"The support can be supported, but it's just ......" Fang Xuanling was a little helpless.

Li Er said: "Okay, you don't understand, if you really want to say it, now is the best time to send troops to Goguryeo."

Although there is still Xue Yantuo in the north, Xue Yantuo is entangled by the Western Turks and is still too busy to take care of himself.

In addition, Tubo and Subi are still in the midst of a scuffle, and the only threat, Tuyuhun, was also targeted by Gao Ming to die there, and now is the best time for us to send troops to Goguryeo. ”

As soon as they heard Li Er say this, everyone nodded helplessly, Li Er was really right.

Before Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks decided on a winner, they couldn't afford to go south to do anything, and Tubo and Tuyuhun were stared at by Li Chengqian to death in that place, and they were all shit, where did they have the spare strength to plot against the Tang Dynasty?

As for those projectile countries in the south, when did Datang pay attention to it?

So at this time, Li Er can go to clean up Goguryeo with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is now in the cold winter of the lunar month, and the troops are dispatched at this time, firstly, the soldiers will definitely suffer from the cold winter, and secondly, the cost of transporting grain and grass materials will also increase greatly. When Wei Zheng heard this, he still stood up.

He knew why Li Er insisted on using troops against Goguryeo, and deep down, he was actually willing to support it.

But this Datang has only stopped for a few years?

Li Er shook his head and said, "Although it is cold in the cold winter, isn't it only my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who will be frozen?" This is not a problem, as for the grain and grass, it is directly transferred from Dengzhou, and over the years, the imperial court has been stockpiling grain in Dengzhou every year, not just for this time. ”

"Yes, can this god still pick people to freeze? The old man didn't believe it......" Wei Chi Jingde immediately stood up and picked up his stinky feet.

Li Er wants to fight, as the number one dog leg under Li Er, of course he has to support it, and he has to support it hard.

This is what he has been doing for so many years.

Sure, it sounds simple, but it's not that simple.

When and what to say, it's still a test of eyesight.

Hou Junji, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, also immediately stood up and said: "The Ministry of War is ready to be dispatched by His Majesty at any time. ”

He doesn't talk much, but his attitude is also obvious.

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing didn't speak much, not that they had nothing to say, but as the head of the hundred officials, as long as they spoke, they represented the attitude of the hundred officials, so at this time, the two of them were also thinking about it in their hearts.

Of course, what is really thinking about it may be Fang Xuanling alone.

Li Jing's attitude is very interesting, as long as you are finalized, let's nod, anyway, just one word, few words and cautious words, a very cautious person.

He thinks that he is no match for these guys who have a lot of eyes in the court, and he doesn't want to play anything with them.

Anyway, I'll just do it, whatever you say, we'll do it.

There is a saying in later generations to describe him, which is quite appropriate.

The party commands the gun!

Li Er nodded and said, "I have a will here, get it and send it out." ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain gave the will to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was stunned, for me?

But when he took a look, the whole person was immediately stunned, his eyes widened, and his face was stunned.

When the rest of the people saw him like this, they were also curious and wanted to come over, but Fang Xuanling immediately held the will above his head, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, no." ”

"Okay, I don't understand what I told you, so let's leave it at that." Li Er shook his head.

As far as Fang Xuanling reacted just now, he didn't want to explain anything more.

It doesn't make sense, he doesn't understand it.

And others are even more curious, what kind of will did Li Er give, so that Fang Xuanling, who has always been old and serious, is like this?

Fang Xuanling was about to argue a few words, but Wei Chi Jingde asked first: "Your Majesty, can the old minister take a look?" ”

Seeing Li Er nodding, Wei Chi Jingde took the will from Fang Xuanling's hand.

The rest of the people, except for Li Jing, everyone came up.

The moment they saw the content of the will, everyone was shocked.

is better than Fang Xuanling.

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children!

Your Majesty, this is crazy!

Before they saw the will, they didn't understand Fang Xuanling's reaction, but after seeing the will, they understood it instantly.

Li Er is crazy!

Really, Li Er is crazy.

That's pretty much what everyone thinks.

However, Li Er shook his head in disappointment when he saw their reaction.

He was right, as long as he had this attitude, these guys would react this way.

This made him very disappointed and helpless.

Perhaps, this is the emperor, the height is cold, and no one talks about the autumn wind.

A will, just let these guys be like this, what can he say?

Are they wrong?

No, because they can't be wrong.

Shaking his head, Li Er waved his hand and said, "Disperse, this will will be sent out as soon as possible." ”

Get some commuter passes, double them!
