Volume 5 Chapter 490 The Storm Rises in Chang'an!
Xu Jingzong really doesn't know how to do business, but his purpose is not to do business in itself.
Is it true that he wants to open a brothel in the Ming Dynasty?
What's the trouble?
A dignified Tang official, running a brothel on the territory of the Tang prince?
Even if he Xu Jingzong regards wealth as his life, he will not be able to do this part.
The reason why he said this was nothing more than the long period of time required to open a brothel, so that he could stay in the six cities of the grassland for a few more days.
It's not like he's really doing business with the money given by the eldest grandson Wuji, right?
In this way, the eldest grandson Wuji has to hate him to death.
To put it bluntly, opening a brothel is just a cover to buy time.
"The old man didn't delay the shopkeeper to do business, he came for a while, and he was recuperating in your store. Xu Jingzong said, and ordered someone to go to the counter to settle the meal.
Shopkeeper Li didn't say much, and after saying a few words, he watched Xu Jingzong walk out of the inn.
"That's it, still doing business?" Seeing Xu Jingzong leave, Shopkeeper Li shook his head and sneered, where is there a business person who doesn't inquire about the situation of the shops in the city first, and rushes into it by himself?
When Xu Jingzong pretended to look for shops in the six cities of the grassland, Duan Lun and others also rushed back to Chang'an in a hurry.
Since Li Er asked them to return to Beijing quickly, of course they didn't dare to delay.
"Your Majesty, Ji Guogong and they are back." In the palace, there were attendants who reported to Li Eryu.
When Li Er heard this, he immediately stood up and asked, "Where are the people?" ”
"I should be outside the palace at this time, waiting for His Majesty to summon me."
"Biography!"
After a while, Duan Lun and the others all arrived.
Li Er sat on the throne of the Liangyi Palace, looked at the group of people who were in the dust, and nodded with satisfaction, which means that after they returned to Beijing, they didn't go anywhere, not even home, and entered the palace.
"Everyone has worked hard." Li Er said with a sincere face, "This journey is thousands of miles away, and Zhongqing has arrived in Beijing in a few days, I'm afraid it's all hard work this way!" ”
Saying that, Li Er also walked down, patted Duan Lun's shoulder and said, "You are also old, why rush for a while?" If this exhausts my body, how should I explain it to Gao Mi? ”
"Your Majesty is serious." When Duan Lun heard this, he felt very comfortable, but his face was still upright, "Your Majesty urgently summoned the ministers to return to Beijing, presumably there must be something important to order, how dare the ministers delay?"
It's just a thousand miles, and the old minister can still bear it! ”
Li Er patted Duan Lun's shoulder again, but didn't say anything, but walked towards Yan Lide, and also just patted him on the shoulder.
"Zhongqing's envoy this time has worked hard." Li Er suddenly said, "Someone, tell Guanglu Temple, tonight, I want to invite the delegation back to Beijing!" ”
His words startled Duan Lun, this is a bit too much.
Since ancient times, there has been no such treatment when the mission returns to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified!" Immediately, Duan Lun hurriedly said.
"The ministers are terrified." The other officials in the mission were not fools, and when they saw this, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
It's roasting them on the fire!
The point is, they really didn't really take much credit.
Li Er didn't mind this, and said with a smile: "Zhongqing doesn't need to be afraid, you are waiting for this envoy, but you have done a great thing for my Datang!"
Especially Ji Guogong, who broke his family and wanted to buy back such a technology that benefits the country and the people for my Datang, he is really a model for hundreds of officials!
How can a wine banquet show its merits? ”
The reason why he did this was to let everyone know that he Li Er supported Duan Lun.
This time, Duan Lun can be regarded as offending half of the people in the court, if those guys in the court make trouble in the future, Duan Lun will inevitably give up his opinion, but Li Er doesn't want to give up.
If you have been in a high position for a long time, how can you want to be left behind?
Duan Lun is also a good person, as soon as he heard Li Er's words, he immediately understood.
He hasn't been besieged by those guys in the court yet, although he knows how powerful it is, but after all, he hasn't experienced it himself, so he still has a fire in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."
With Duan Lun taking the lead, the officials of the mission had no choice but to give up their hands and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the banquet." ”
They are now all grasshoppers in the same boat, and it is not so easy to get out.
This is also Li Er's purpose.
He needs supporters, and Duan Lun needs supporters too.
"Let's talk about it, what did you gain from this mission?" Li Er smiled when he saw this.
Duan Lun subconsciously stretched out his hand and prepared to take out the concerto, but Li Er waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's listen to it first, the Ming Dynasty is indeed a magical place." ”
As soon as he heard Li Er's words, Duan Lun understood, and then said: "I have gained a lot, but the most important thing is Daming Hospital." ”
"Daming Hospital?" Li Er wondered, "What is that?" ”
Duan Lun explained in detail why Daming Hospital was, and the more Li Er listened, the more frightened he became!
Good fellow, if this is really done, it will really become a gospel for the benefit of the people of the world.
"Not bad, not bad." Li Er nodded and said, "Gao Ming knows that he is people-oriented, which is very good, if the people of the world support him, then his Ming court will be iron-clad!"
Even if Murong Fuyun got up from the ground, he would not be able to return to the sky. ”
"Your Highness is indeed beyond reproach on this point." Duan Lun said, "The old minister has not been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but the old minister has found that there is a different kind of spirit up and down the Ming Dynasty, and this spirit and spirit are not even the people of my Tang Dynasty." ”
"How?" Li Er asked.
In fact, he is not a stranger to the Ming court.
It is no exaggeration to say that every day at least a secret letter from the Ming Dynasty will be placed on his desk, and since Li Chengqian settled in Sun Moon Mountain, it has been like this every day, never stopping.
However, those secret letters mostly talk about some things on the face of the Ming royal court, but rarely talk about the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hope." Duan Lun thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, the old minister didn't know what words to use to describe the spirit and spirit of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, but I still heard His Highness mention it by chance, and the old minister felt very reasonable.
His Royal Highness said that the people of the Ming Dynasty can have nothing, but they cannot live without hope.
Therefore, for more than a year, His Royal Highness has actually intentionally or unintentionally given the people of Daming a hope to live.
Of course, at the beginning, it was just the hope of survival, but as the situation in Daming is getting better and better, more people have begun to hope for a better life.
This hope can be seen from the looks on their faces. ”
"Follow-the-path?" Li Er smiled when he heard this, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, people, when you have no food and clothing, you need hope to live."
When I can barely make a living, I need the hope of worrying about food and clothing.
When a person has no worries about food and clothing, he naturally needs greater hope.
said that it is hope, but in fact it is desire, but as the so-called, desire is difficult to fill, Gao Ming can now use this to make the entire Ming full of fighting spirit.
But once he cultivates the desires of these common people to infinity, what will he give to these common people? ”
At this point, Li Er does not agree and does not approve.
Hope is a good thing, but it's not just a good thing.
When Duan Lun heard this, he also nodded and said, "Indeed, this is a double-edged sword, but no matter what the future holds for the time being, at least for now, Daming's state is indeed slightly better than Datang."
As for the future, looking at His Highness's confident appearance, it is estimated that he has already thought of a solution.
Whether it can be done or not can only wait and see. ”
Li Er didn't say much on this issue, waved his hand, and said, "Is there anything else besides these?" ”
"And." Duan Lun didn't think much about it, and immediately said, "Da Ming recently created something called a microscope, which can observe subtle things, and when Lao Chen saw it for the first time, he almost smashed it ......."
As he spoke, Duan Lun also told the original scene again.
Li Er heard this kind of strange thing very well: "So amazing? ”
"It's so magical." Duan Lun said, "For this reason, Lao Chen and Sun Daochang almost fought. ”
"In terms of tricks and tricks, my Datang is indeed unable to catch up with the clever Ming Dynasty." Although Li Er is unwilling to be subservient, he will never hide the place that should be recognized.
However, when Yan Lide heard Li Er's words on the side, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a miraculous skill, this is real great wisdom!" ”
"I've forgotten about you." Li Er doesn't care what Yan Lide says, this guy is like this, if Chao Zheng is a medical idiot, then Yan Lide is above the engineering and learning, but he is also worthy of an idiot, "How about it, you went to the Ming Dynasty to exchange and study this time, can you gain something?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty." As he spoke, Yan Lide was also about to reach out to get the prepared recital, but Duan Lun held his hand and said, "Your Majesty let you talk casually, don't be so formal." ”
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Yan Lide.
Although Yan Lide didn't understand the reason, he still said at the moment: "I have benefited a lot, this time Weichen and the generals of the Ming Dynasty will be the supervisor have exchanged a lot of engineering things together.
Although they are rusty with craftsmanship, they are quite bold in innovation, just like the zigzag plow.
Speaking of Quyuan plow, it is actually derived from the previous ploughshare of my Datang Dynasty, and they just improved it on the previous plowshare.
But it was this small improvement that caused Ji Guogong to go bankrupt and buy back this technology.
Your Majesty, it's 20,000!
How many poor families are enough for 20,000 to live?
However, His Majesty didn't know that in the court of the Ming Dynasty, the first craftsman to build this curved plough according to the map was only rewarded with more than 100 yuan!
It's just a hundred!
It cost us Ji Guogong 20,000 yuan.
I heard that in order to make up 20,000 yuan, Ji Guogong's Mansion sold houses and land, and even the Guogong Mansion was mortgaged!
It's not worth it! ”
Yan Lide was talking with great interest there, but Li Er looked at Duan Lun like a ghost, and said in his heart, what's wrong with this guy?
Enlightened?
What's the hundred?
And what is 20,000?
You have to say this to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, what's the use of telling me?
"General Yan has a deep understanding." Li Er saw Duan Lun nodding without a trace, and then said, "In this way, tomorrow morning, General Yan will make a statement at the court meeting, and tell today's remarks to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!"
Let them listen too, and hear how the Ming court oppressed those craftsmen! ”
His meaning is very simple, he will say that you can say more.
Yan Lide just didn't like this, and he wasn't really stupid, when he heard Li Er say this, he didn't understand anything, so he immediately bowed down and took the order.
After chatting with Duan Lun and the others for a while, Li Er roughly understood what the situation was, and then arranged for someone to take them to the banquet.
As for himself, of course he will not go.
Since it is a sincere banquet, can he eat comfortably when he goes?
At the wine table, Yan Lide looked at Duan Lun and said, "Old Duan, why did you stop the old man from playing His Majesty just now?" ”
"You're really brainless!" Duan Lun shook his head speechlessly, "Your Majesty means that when we wait for tomorrow's court meeting, we will play it in front of everyone, who will it play now?"
Do you want to show your majesty?
The point is, as far as His Majesty's attitude is concerned, no, do you understand? ”
Yan Lide heard him say this, but he understood.
Indeed, judging from Li Er's attitude today, he really doesn't need to watch any more concertans.
Just when Duan Lun and the others were drinking and feasting in the palace, Chang'an City was surging.
The news of Duan Lun's entry into the palace naturally couldn't hide from these dignitaries in Chang'an City.
Especially Fang Xuanling.
"The servant shoots, I have to find a way." Dai Bin hurriedly found Fang Xuanling's public office and said, "As soon as this old Duan came back, he entered the palace, it seems that this old thing is Wang Ba eating scales - iron-hearted!" ”
"Industrial change is no longer something we can stop." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Since His Majesty's words came out a few days ago, the old man has thought about it seriously, and there is indeed no way to crack it. ”
He can't gamble, or he doesn't dare to bet.
Even if he really persuaded Li Er to give up the so-called industrial reform, if such unspeakable things really happened in the future, even if his Fang Xuanling had already turned into a handful of loess at that time, his Fang family was still there!
At that time, whether Li Er wins or Li Chengqian wins, today's events will be brought out, and the people who participated in today's events will be responsible for this black cauldron.
At that time, his family is afraid that it will be difficult to be spared.
Therefore, for the sake of his descendants, he did not dare to ......
As for Dai Yin, well, this guy doesn't dare to dare or not, he is an heir, to say something that shouldn't be said, when the old Dai family came to him, he actually cut off the incense.
So, he's afraid of a fart.
The key thing is that industrial transformation is indispensable for money and grain expenditure, and he Dai Bin is the head of the household department, even if he changes, he can't change so much money and grain!
"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, isn't there anyone who dares to speak?" Dai Bin sighed and said, "Today is just a craftsman, but as soon as this opening is opened, it may be a merchant ...... in the future."
Everyone knows that this opening cannot be opened, but who dares to say anything?
Li Er's assumption really scared the people present that day.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he didn't say much.
He really didn't know what to say.
Well, who hasn't had a little selfishness?
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was speechless for a long time, Dai Yan flicked his sleeves, sighed, and left in a huff.
He knew what these people were worried about, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, that kind of thing can happen.
Because, it really happened!
After Dai Yin left, Fang Xuanling also walked to the door, and suddenly, an inscrutable smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "The dust hasn't settled yet, the old man doesn't dare, and he doesn't dare to wear it, but there are thousands of people in the world, don't everyone dare?" ”
