Fang Xuanling actually did not want to control the economic lifeline of Daming, but hoped that Datang would have one more hole card in his hand that could contain Li Chengqian.

As the servant of Datang, his thinking angle can only revolve around Datang.

This is the most basic question of position.

Before Li Er had not passed on the throne of Li Chengqian, there was only one emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and that was Li Er.

And the object of his allegiance can only be Li Er.

This position must be clear.

As for assisting the prince, isn't that exactly what he is doing?

At least one of them counts as one, and they all think so.

Don't be gullible!

Soon, when Li Er's will spread all over Datang, not only Chang'an, but half of Datang were shocked!

Ordinary people may only know that the monopoly of salt and iron is going to be practiced again, which may be the only thing that is closely related to ordinary people.

But almost everyone who knows a little about the court can guess why.

Many people are thinking hard about it, every policy change is a new opportunity for them, and if they can seize such an opportunity, it is not impossible to soar to the sky.

And as soon as Wang Dequan learned the news, he sent the news back to Daming.

Nowadays, each city along the way from Riyue Mountain to Chang'an has its own branch.

Of course, these semicolons are not just for business, but more often, they also take into account the express delivery business from Datang to Chang'an.

This also facilitated the exchange of information between Li Chengqian and Datang.

Wang Dequan actually knew very well that Li Chengqian's main purpose in keeping him in Chang'an was to collect news about the Tang Dynasty, and he never forgot this.

And with the gradual strengthening of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dequan is even more focused on the cause of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the news was spread, Wang Dequan has been pondering the purpose of Datang's actions.

He no longer calls himself a businessman.

On this day, Wang Dequan returned to his house, gathered his Wang family's cronies, and said to everyone: "From today on, the people who started to arrange for us will enter Fang Xuanling and Dai Yin one after another...... and other people's houses. ”

"Shopkeeper, this ......" When his subordinates heard Wang Dequan's words, they all looked incredulous.

Those people in Datang are all big shots!

If something goes wrong, their Wang family will be cold.

"Isn't it too risky?" A subordinate said, "If it is detected, this is a crime of communicating with foreign countries, and the house will be raided!" ”

They were still a little frightened by Wang Dequan's decision.

It's easy to say that you said that you were mixed into one or two families, but Wang Dequan wants to completely break into the inner circle of the top magnates in the Tang Dynasty, and it is really hard to say what the result will be.

Wang Dequan shook his head and said, "What is the foreign country, don't forget, we are now the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

His Royal Highness let the old man stay in Chang'an for only one purpose, that is, to let His Highness return to Chang'an smoothly and ascend the throne in the future!

For this purpose, any risk is worth it!

If we can do this well, in the future, my Wang family may not be able to rank among the three dukes.

As for the risk, which of you told the old man that there is no risk in doing anything?

But as long as the benefits are sufficient, why be afraid of risks?

This time, it is an opportunity that my Wang family has been eager for for several generations, if it happens, my Wang family will jump up, isn't this benefit enough? ”

He doesn't understand politics, even though he's been in this circle for a year, he still doesn't understand.

But he knew that this was the opportunity he longed for, an opportunity to completely make the Wang family cross the class, and for this opportunity, he was willing to take risks!

And, he's right.

The only purpose of his stay in Chang'an is to escort Li Chengqian to return to Chang'an smoothly and ascend the throne!

That's what he's supposed to do.

When the people of the Wang family heard him say this, they nodded immediately.

Indeed, there is such an opportunity, and they should really try it, as for the risk, or that sentence, what is not risky?

It's just that they are still too young, and they think of those top elites too simply.

People like them, even if they find a servant, will investigate it thoroughly.

Therefore, this matter is destined to be not so simple.

……

When Chang'an began to surge, pouring River City, Li Chengqian was also distressed.

Since the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on 19 September, Li Chengqian also met Ashina Ni when he summoned the envoys of various countries the next day.

All this time had passed, and he hadn't even seen this person again.

It's not that Ashina is holding a fight, but Li Chengqian doesn't know how to deal with this person.

Maybe in the eyes of others in the Ming Dynasty, Ashina's attachment is a good thing.

But in Li Chengqian's view, this is really not a good thing.

If he could, he would rather Ashina mud not belong to him.

"Your Highness, Ashina has been asking to see you for a few days in a row." Wang Xuance saw Li Chengqian frowning, and whispered, "If you keep avoiding it, I'm afraid it will shake the confidence of the Western Turks to annex." ”

"You know!" Li Chengqian said angrily, "He is a muddy person, but if he is sincere, he will at least give us a breath in advance!"

Why did you think he had to choose to belong to me at the founding ceremony?

People know better than you! ”

In the past few days, Li Chengqian has actually gradually figured out that Ashina is deliberate.

The reason why it was so done at the founding ceremony of the Ming Dynasty was that he didn't want to give Li Chengqian any way out.

In other words, Ashina actually knew very well that Li Chengqian would not surrender his Western Turks at this stage.

If he doesn't find another way, even if he wants to join Li Chengqian, it may be difficult.

And this is the crux of the matter.

Why did he take the Western Turks to join Li Chengqian?

Wouldn't it be better to belong to Datang?

Why did he choose him Li Chengqian!

Wang Xuance was confused, he really didn't understand, but from his standpoint, Ashina's attachment to the Ming Dynasty always outweighed the disadvantages.

At least with the Western Turks, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is now three points greater than before!

But Li Chengqian's reaction was as if he had suffered a big loss, which made him really incomprehensible.

It's not just him, but Changsun Chong, Gao Chunxing, and even Puxiruo and Yi Yuanxi don't understand.

The only person who can understand Li Chengqian may be left with Qibi He Li and Niu Jinda.

"Your Highness is worried that this is Ashina's delaying tactic?" Niu Jinda said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "I don't know if it's a plan to delay the army, but Ashina Ni chose to lead the entire Western Turks to join the king at this juncture, and his motives are definitely not pure."

Moreover, he didn't give this king a chance to refuse at all, and at the founding ceremony, in front of the envoys of various countries, it was impossible for this king to refuse him!

This is not an attitude of conformity.

Besides, now, this king has never thought of continuing to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

For my Daming, annexing the entire Tuyuhun is enough for us to toss for a long time. ”

For this, at least Niu Jinda believed it, and immediately nodded, and said: "Indeed, for our Ming Dynasty, at this stage, as long as we run the Ming Dynasty, it is enough."

Too much territory is not necessarily a good thing. ”

"Why is that?" Changsun Chong didn't understand.

Shouldn't a country be as big as possible?

He hadn't heard that the country didn't want to expand its territory.

"This ......" Just as Niu Jinda opened his mouth, Liu San hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Your Highness, the urgent letter from the shopkeeper of the king of Chang'an." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Chang'an's letter, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly cooled.

Here it comes!

You don't need to read the letter, he knows that there must be a reaction from Chang'an.

"Read!"

Liu San was stunned: "Huh? ”

I haven't read the letter yet, what if there is something hidden?

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said impatiently: "Read! ”

"Your Highness Wan'an, your subordinates are in ......"

"These red tape things are saved, just talk about the content!" Li Chengqian was a little angry, and immediately interrupted Liu San's rambling thoughts about those useless things.

When Liu San heard this, he said: "Not long ago, the Tang Emperor issued an order to order Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and Chi Jingde, the Duke of Wu, to support the Duke of Suguo Cheng to bite the gold, and be sure to take Xue Yantuo before the year......

At the same time, there is also a clear decree to spread the world, Datang strictly prohibits grain, iron and other strategic materials out of the country, in addition, the household department is discussing the monopoly of salt and iron, it is estimated that before the end of the year, Datang will again carry out the monopoly of salt and iron.

……”

"That's why!" Li Chengqian waited for Liu San to finish reading, and said, "If Ashina had not been attached to my Ming court, Chang'an would not have such a reaction, now understand!" ”

Except for Qibi He Li and Niu Jinda, the rest of the people were shocked.

The Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Xue Yantuo, they may not be able to understand it.

However, the Tang Dynasty implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, and strictly prohibited all strategic materials such as grain and iron from leaving the country, which was really aimed at them in the Ming Dynasty.

For a moment, everyone was a little incredulous.

As for it?

What did the Ming court do that deserves such a target from Chang'an?

They couldn't figure it out.

"Your Highness, why is that?" Changsun Chong was a little puzzled, and immediately asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "You, you're still a little tender!" I didn't even understand the twists and turns in this.

And you, too!

Do you think that the Western Turks belong to my Ming Dynasty and we will take advantage of it?

Think about it with your brains!

In the final analysis, this king still carries the name of the prince of the Tang Dynasty on his back!

But remember, the prince, that's just the prince, and it can only be the prince, understand? ”

Li Chengqian was tired.

He is good at everything in the Ming Dynasty, but these civil officials under his command really can't keep up.

But this is also a helpless thing, these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were slowly cultivated by himself, and he really can't expect them to be the same as those old foxes in Chang'an.

But this is also a shortcoming that he simply can't solve in a short period of time.

If he had a few characters like Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, hehe, he would have handled the matter properly a long time ago.

"Your Highness means that Chang'an is guarding against us?" Changsun Chong was a little surprised, and said, "But we didn't do anything, even the Western Turks were all found by Ashina Ni himself?" Why are those old guys in Chang'an guarding against us?

Isn't there a traitor around Your Majesty? ”

When Li Chengqian heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help asking, "Do you really think that this is a traitor in Chang'an?" ”

"That's nature!" The eldest grandson Chong said as a matter of course, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has always been a saint, if he hadn't been bewitched by traitors, how could he have issued such a ridiculous decree?" ”

"You, don't go back to Chang'an in the past few years......" Li Chengqian walked over and patted Changsun Chong's shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid that if you go back to Chang'an, you will die young!" ”

"It doesn't matter, no matter who the traitor is, Wechen is not afraid!" Changsun Chong still said with a righteous face.

Li Chengqian smiled and said no more, this matter, he can only let him really understand the family law by himself, and the mouth is estimated to not be so hard.

"You've seen the situation now." Li Chengqian said, "Now that Chang'an has reacted, it will be even more difficult for us to get another grain and iron from Datang from now on."

And if our green salt wants to be sold into Datang again, it will be even more difficult.

You are all my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, let's talk about how we should solve the current situation. ”

Li Chengqian actually knows that this is just the beginning.

As the Ming court becomes more and more powerful, the Tang Dynasty will only do more and more, and when the time comes, it may be the most difficult time for the Ming Dynasty.

"Actually, Chang'an hasn't really killed yet." Wang Xuance said, "If Datang cuts off all trade with my Daming, it will be the most terrifying."

Now my Daming's trade, nearly eighty percent is closely related to Datang, if they close the trade with my Daming, it will be the most fatal blow to our Daming! ”

"Hmph, they want to, but dare!" When Changsun Chong heard this, he said disdainfully, "Just as far as I know, there are countless people in Datang who rely on this business road to make a living, and how many of those noble families in Chang'an have no property in Sun Moon Mountain?"

If you really want to do this, the first ones who don't do it are those noble families.

Don't talk about others, just my eldest grandson's family, I may be the first to not agree. ”

His eldest grandson's family has a business in the Ming Dynasty, which is well known, and he has no need to hide it.

In the Ming Dynasty, doing business is really not a shameful thing, and compared with Chang'an, the business atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is more relaxed.

"He's right." Niu Jinda said, "If you want to cut off the trade between Daming and Datang, for the time being, it is impossible."

There are too many people's interests involved, and if you really want to move this, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. ”

Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, there is really nothing to say.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "These are not problems, the question is do you know how much green salt my Ming Dynasty has now?"

It is no exaggeration to say that the green salt stored in my Ming Dynasty can allow the people of the entire Tang Dynasty to eat for several years.

Can anyone tell me what to do? ”

At that, the crowd shut up......

When Li Chengqian saw their reaction, he immediately shook his head, thinking about it, under his command, he can fight a lot, but there are really not many who can write.

The point is that they haven't grown up.

I'm tired......

"Your Highness, I have a law, I don't know if it can be used?" Gao Chunxing thought for a moment and said.

Dog author begging for spray, come on, come on! Give it all to me!
