Volume 5 Chapter 462 Wei Zheng's Story
"What's the problem?" Dai Bin asked.
For this plan, Dai Bin is supportive.
After all, in the past two years, as the head of the household, he has really eaten the dividends of commercial taxes, and if he can build a northwest Xiongcheng through the Ming Dynasty.
If nothing else, this northwest city will definitely be a pearl!
The commercial tax that can be brought to the household department is definitely not a small number.
So as soon as Wei Zheng spoke, Dai Yan immediately asked.
"Not to mention that the first year of Zhenguan has already demarcated the ten realms of the world, this is a trivial matter." Wei Zheng said, "If we divide Hezhou and Taozhou into one government or one together, we will have full authority to handle the commercial transactions with the Ming Dynasty."
What Weichen can expect is that there will indeed be another Xiongcheng in the northwest, which may not be just a Xiongcheng, but a commercial trading capital.
This will inevitably cause a shock to businessmen all over the world, and even, half of the businessmen of Datang will gather in a short period of time.
Because there is one thing we have to admit is that for more than a year, everything produced by the Ming Dynasty has been in short supply in my Tang Dynasty.
The benefits contained in this are absolutely amazing, how could those businessmen easily give up such an opportunity?
Don't forget, at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty was just a piece of paper, which attracted countless Tang businessmen to rush to Sun Moon Mountain in groups. ”
"What does Gong Wei want to say?" Li Er asked, "Isn't this a good thing, if there are no these businessmen, do you want my Tang Household Department to pay for the construction of this Northwest Xiongcheng by itself?" ”
He actually knew what Wei Zheng was going to say, but he wanted to hear what his courtiers thought.
When Fang Xuanling first proposed this idea, he knew that there were problems in this strategy.
He just wanted to see if any of his courtiers saw this problem, or rather, he wanted to see what his courtiers thought, and this was the most important thing.
Wei Zheng said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, if this matter really comes to pass, then who can be in charge of this majestic city?" You know, no matter who it is, there will be money and people at that time.
An army of 100,000!
No matter who it is, there is a hidden worry about separating one side. ”
This is a practical question, no matter who sits in that position, in the face of the astonishing wealth every day, how many people can control their hearts?
There are many corrupt officials in this world, but if you want to say that being an official is for corruption, there are really few of them.
Who didn't go to the beginning of his official career with the intention of asking for his life for the people and leaving his name in history?
It's just slowly, in that position, facing the temptation of money, and gradually losing myself.
Desire is a thing that never ends......
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, everyone was silent.
Indeed, the biggest problem with this strategy is that there is no suitable person to take charge of this future northwest city!
When the time comes, if it really happens, it really wants money and money, and there are people, plus the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, then it will really become a soil emperor in the northwest.
Li Er looked at everyone's reactions and smiled without saying a word.
This problem was actually solved when Fang Xuanling played it right.
It wasn't the question that worried him the most.
Now, he didn't know whether Wei Zheng was simply worried that there would be a separatist force in the Tang Dynasty, or whether he was worried that the Tang Dynasty's move would pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
After a long time, seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Li Ercai said with a disappointed face: "Is it gone?" ”
Obviously, the real problem in this strategy, Wei Zheng did not get to the point.
However, when Wei Zheng heard Li Er say this, he was stunned for a moment, and faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not nothing, but if this problem can't be solved, Weichen feels that this strategy is abandoned."
Raising tigers is a problem, Your Majesty!
It's not that Wechen wants to speculate on Wechen's colleagues with the greatest malice.
But even if Wechen is allowed to take charge of this government, Wechen does not dare to guarantee whether Wechen will be tempted by the huge benefits in it, thus shaking Wechen's belief since he became an official.
Some words may be a little inappropriate, and even a little shameless, but put them here, Weichen feels that they are very appropriate. ”
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Li Er smiled and said, "Wei Qing said it directly." ”
He wanted to hear what Wei Zheng could say.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, at the beginning of Weichen's official career, I saw a county order capture a thief.
The official reputation of the county order is very poor, but the interesting thing is that the thief's reputation among the neighbors is excellent.
It just so happened that this matter was encountered by Weichen again, and what was even more coincidental was that this county order and this little thief Weichen knew about it.
So as soon as Weichen heard this, he subconsciously felt that the county order had wronged the thief.
So Weichen asked people to secretly investigate the matter.
At that time, Weichen even thought about it, as long as he found evidence, he would definitely not be able to spare the county order.
Because Weichen didn't believe that the child who had a good reputation in the neighborhood would be a thief.
But after the results of the investigation came out, Weichen was shocked......
That kid is really a thief!
This result made Wechen can't believe it anyway, Wechen even wondered if his subordinates had investigated the problem, and sent someone to investigate the matter carefully.
At this point, Weichen is completely dumbfounded? ”
"What happened again?" Li Er likes to listen to such stories the most on weekdays, and he was immediately interested.
The rest of the people are also wondering, can this story still turn around here?
The point is, does it have anything to do with what they just said?
Wei Zheng shook his head, sighed, and said: "The truth is often unexpected, the thief is still the thief, that's right, he stole something."
The county order is still the same county order, and he did not decide the wrong case.
It's just that this story is not as simple as we thought, and at that time, Weichen was just curious about why a child who was praised by the neighbors on weekdays suddenly became a thief.
It turned out that this was nothing more than a businessman's boring move. ”
"The merchant's boring behavior?" Li Xiaogong asked, "Could it be that the merchant asked him to steal something?" ”
Shaking his head, Wei Zheng said, "If things were so simple, how could the old man be dumbfounded?
In fact, it was the merchant who had been listening to the neighbors praising the child, and the boy was a guy in his restaurant.
He made a bet that in a few months he would make the boy who was so much praised in his neighborhood a prisoner, because he said he didn't believe in any good people in the world.
So he parked a carriage on the road where the boy was going home, and deliberately left a burden in front of it, and the baggage was not tightly wrapped, so that he could see the goods inside.
Then he sent to keep an eye on the child, and as long as the child would pass that way, he would put the burden in the most conspicuous place on the carriage, so that the child might be seen.
At first, for several days, the child saw it, but was always indifferent.
But how could the merchant let that child go so easily?
He knew that the child's mother was sick and had to take medicine every day, so he deliberately found a reason to deduct the child's wages, and even asked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to add some precious medicinal materials to the child's mother's prescription.
In this instant, the child's years of praise were exhausted.
In fact, we all know that how much savings can that kid have as a guy in a restaurant?
The final result, presumably the old man didn't say it, everyone guessed it.
In less than a month, the boy really took the burden away when he passed by the carriage on his way home.
The old man went to ask him, and he said that he had struggled many, many times before taking that burden!
But he has a sentence that impresses the old man the most. ”
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Dai Yin scolded angrily, "This businessman, damn it!" If you have money, you dare to do evil, who gave him the guts! ”
Isn't this forcing people to their deaths?
The rest of the people also scolded in a low voice.
Even Li Er had an angry look on his face.
This businessman, just to make a bet with others, ruined the life of a good child, how can he be damned?
"What did he say?" Li Er asked.
If Wei Zheng can remember it, he also wants to know what it is.
Wei Zheng said: "That kid said to Weichen that if there was no baggage on that carriage at the beginning, he would never have thought of stealing things!" Definitely not! ”
"To steal is to steal, what will not." Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "The moment he stretched out his hand, he changed. ”
He also felt sorry for this child, but it had already happened, so there was no way to change it.
Li Er didn't think so, but looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Could it be that what Wei Qing wants to say is temptation?" ”
"Some people don't want to reach out." Wei Zheng said, "But he just had the opportunity to reach out."
In this story, Weichen clearly realized that if it weren't for the businessman at the beginning, the child would not have become a thief.
After all, we really have no reason to blame the victim for not protecting his property, but you really can't expect everyone to be a decent man and a gentleman in the face of huge interests......"
Even if Wei Zheng didn't dare to say something......
But everyone understood, this thing can really only be understood, not spoken.
Li Er naturally understood, and nodded immediately.
Looking at Wei Zheng again, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Wei Zheng's story is not only about temptation, but also about businessmen.
"Wei Qing is too worried." Li Er said with a smile, "This time, whether Taozhou and Hezhou are merged into one government or together, the military and government are separated.
I discussed with Fang Qing before, and Fang Qing suggested setting up a large capital to protect the people's livelihood and trade, and set up a line of army commanders to take charge of all military affairs.
Therefore, Wei Qing's worries are unnecessary. ”
When everyone heard this, they were also stunned.
Li Er and Fang Xuanling have already discussed it separately?
Except for the eldest grandson Wuji, no one present really knows.
However, hearing Li Er say this, everyone understands, I am afraid that most of the guards and marching managers have already been decided.
But if these two people are decided, they should be the most suitable candidates.
After all, they don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
They are unlikely to give any chance to sit in the Northwest to grow up.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Er immediately said: "At that time, what I wanted was for the auxiliary machine to be appointed as the protector of the capital, and to let Jingde be the chief of the march.
With the two of them sitting in the northwest, presumably the ministers are worry-free, right? ”
Hearing Li Er say this, everyone immediately went through the whole situation in their minds.
Good guys, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde are in the northwest, even if they are not worthy of subordinate officials, they are absolutely top-notch.
But not to mention, the combination of these two really has just the right meaning.
Who doesn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde have been friends for a long time?
As I said before, this guy Wei Chi Jingde likes to expose people's shortcomings.
As long as you see the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui but there is something wrong, it is unceremoniously pointed out to your face.
Otherwise, his dignified Tang Wu Guogong, Li Er's most trusted general, would be driven out of Chang'an?
Isn't that what the eldest grandson Wuji did?
Let these two people sit in the northwest, and they can join forces to get out of the ghosts.
The key is that Li Er trusts the most, these two can be ranked in the top three......
Li Er himself is also relieved.
"Then the problem now is the businessman." When Wei Zheng heard this, he said, "With Wu Guogong and Qi Guogong sitting in the northwest, they are naturally worry-free, but from the story just now, Your Majesty must also know that Shang Jia is not a moral gentleman." ”
Li Er nodded and said: "Indeed, if this strategy is successful, the northwest will inevitably become a place where businessmen from all over the world gather, and at that time, there will even be a group of giants, for my Datang, I don't know whether it is good or bad." ”
Li Er's attitude towards Shang Jia is actually not obvious, as an emperor, it is impossible for him to suppress Shang, which is not in his interests.
But if you value business, these merchants have not been a good thing since ancient times.
It's not that they're not producing, it's all......
There is a real problem with merchants, it has never been a trivial matter that is not production, and the reason that really makes them curb merchants is that the wealth of merchants will be lost with them!
As for whether it is production, to put it mildly, can they not produce it......
"Your Majesty, the giants are actually not the most worried." Dai Bin said, "What really worries Weichen is that if he really wants to build a Xiongcheng in the northwest, those businessmen are already chasing profits, will it affect the business of other places?" ”
This is actually inevitable.
There is no doubt that the rise of a great city will inevitably draw blood from other cities.
"Yes." Wei Zheng said, "Jujia is a problem that may be faced in the future, but these businessmen are facing such an opportunity, which may indeed affect the business order of various places."
Moreover, there is one of the most important problems, that is, if my Datang businessmen are intoxicated with interests and refuse to innovate, my Datang business will rely too much on the Ming Dynasty in the future, which is not a good sign.
From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty may even be able to counteract my Datang's business.
Your Majesty, you need to be cautious in this matter! ”
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Li Er nodded, this is the biggest problem.
Businessmen, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!
Do you expect them to be very enlightened?
As long as they can make money, they are willing to do it.
As for innovation?
Hehe, unless innovation can make more money!
This is the businessman!
The story Wei Zheng told before was actually telling Li Er that the conduct of the businessman was worrisome!
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, although he had long known that Li Er was willing to serve as the protector of the capital, but he had no way to solve this problem.
At this time, I was also distressed.
No one can solve this problem.
After all, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, yes......
If a businessman does not pursue profits, then he is still called a businessman?
400 monthly passes...... Chilling!
