Volume 5 Chapter 713 The Royalists' Pit.

Those civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, they used to look down on them.

In the end, it's just a group of grass heads, and I really don't see any threat.

But this time, their treatment of Murong Ge is really eye-catching, and it is obvious that these guys have also grown a lot over the years.

Of course, for Li Er, he didn't feel anything, he only cared about how Li Chengqian would deal with this matter now.

And at this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji continued: "Your Majesty, along with this news, there is also news from Taohe County.

It is reported that Liu Shuyi blocked the Tangming border on the grounds of army drills a few days ago, and the specific time is unknown.

In Chang'an, His Royal Highness the King of Shu transferred Liu Shuyi to Shanzhou Assassin Shi on the grounds of the tense situation in Taohe County, and presided over the military and political affairs of Shanzhou.

At the same time, the Ming delegation was stationed in the East Palace, and the queen, the king of Shu, the king of Jin and the princess of Chengyang ...... Temporarily resides in the East Palace. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji 1510 made a gathering of the recent news to Li Er, and did not hide anything.

When everyone heard this, they were silent, silently digesting the news in their hearts.

Li Er smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Hou Junji said: "Liu Shuyi is afraid that the training army is just to curb Tang Ming's commercial exchanges, if you really want to talk about it, the most important thing he should do at this time is to raise troops to the west, what is the use of training the army?" ”

He was extremely disdainful of this.

No matter who instructed the Great Zhao Wangting, this act was a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty.

Expelling the Dons?

The extremely arrogant Turks did not dare to do this, what about the Great Zhao Dynasty?

"Compared to his old man, this guy is far worse after all." Wei Chi Jingde said with a big grin, "If it were his Lao Tzu, the Great Zhao Wangting would dare to do this, he would dare to directly raise troops to the west, and look at the whole world, who would dare to drive me to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

For Liu Wenjing, they still appreciate it, but it was replaced by Liu Shuyi, then I'm sorry, it's really not a level.

Of course, Chu Suiliang, these civil officials, did not say much.

They know Liu Shuyi's intentions, and they know that this move is not easy.

That's a battle for succession, it's not just a big Zhao Wangting, the slightest mistake is a lot of people, who dares to take such a big risk.

Of course, this is not to say that Wei Chi Jingde and others can't think of this, but their personalities are like this.

When you can do it, who can use your brain?

It's not that they don't have brains, it's just that a military general uses so many brains in this kind of thing, which monarch dares to use you?

"You guys have a little bit of virtue on your lips." Li Er smiled when he heard this, "No matter what, Liu Shuyi is a junior, if they have the confidence of you, where is there a place for them in this court?"

But this time can actually show that the confrontation between the two has begun, and time has passed, and now it has become the world of young people.

After all, we're all old......"

Hearing Li Er say this, everyone was stunned.

No, this is not a cover-up, a big bang?

The people can make it happen, but they can't know it, this sentence is actually feasible in the court, is it really necessary to say it so clearly today?

But in an instant, everyone understood that since Li Er said so, it means that all the people present are Li Er's ministers, and they can also be said to be confidants.

Obviously, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is now clearly divided into several camps.

Nothing is greater than their staunch royalists.

The second is Li Chengqian's princelings, but Li Chengqian's princelings are basically not in the Tang Dynasty.

Then there is Li Ke's heir-grabbing faction, the most active and actually the weakest group of guys.

For Li Er, the purpose of his southward journey is no longer a secret, and naturally there is no intention to hide it, but now, there is no need to be as secretive as before.

Of course, it depends mainly on his attitude.

Seeing Li Er say this, the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled and said: "Lao Chen has heard someone say such a sentence before, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk."

Speaking of which, what is the background of those wealthy families in Shandong, the old minister also wants to see. ”

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is now the representative of the Guanlong Shi clan, there is still a difference between the Shi clan and the Shi clan.

At least, they are not in the same camp as the Longshi clan and the Shandong Shi clan, and the open and secret battles between the two camps in the court also occur from time to time.

"But such an abrupt blockade of the border, although it can curb Daming's commerce, but it will also be a devastating blow to my Datang's business, so I am afraid that my Datang's business tax will be greatly affected."

Ma Zhou thought about it for a long time, and then said worriedly.

He is now the head of the household department, and he is the most sensitive when commercial taxes are affected.

In addition, now that the Tang Dynasty is using troops in the south, as the head of the household department, his pressure is not small, if there is really something wrong with the commercial tax, then it will be difficult for him to do it.

"The impact is naturally there." Li Er smiled when he heard this, "But I support this, over the years, Datang's business has been linked to Daming, and it is not a healthy direction for the business of a country."

In Gao Ming's words, Datang is the largest downstream market for Daming Commerce.

In other words, Daming is the largest upstream market of my Datang business, we can contain Daming, and similarly, Daming can also contain us, which is not a good thing.

If I can take this opportunity to revitalize my Datang's own market, it would be a good thing.

Over the years, the auxiliary machine and Dengshan have been operating Taohe County for a long time, and they have lost the largest upstream market in Daming, so I don't know if Taohe County can cope with it? ”

As he spoke, Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

When the eldest grandson Wuji was in Taohe County, he did do something, not to mention anything else, and there was really no shortage of various workshops.

In addition, after Li Chengqian even indulged Xu Jingzong to poach a large number of technicians from Daming, the workshop in Taohe County did develop rapidly in a short period of time.

If you really want to talk about it, the eldest grandson Wuji planned to replace Daming with Taohe County and become the upstream market of Datang.

Although over the years, it has not completely replaced Daming, but it has really grabbed part of the market share from Daming's hands, and in general, there are still some results.

At this time, seeing Li Er asking, the eldest grandson Wuji also looked at Chu Suiliang, after all, Chu Suiliang stayed there for a longer time and knew better, Chu Suiliang saw that Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji both set their eyes on him, so he also stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when Weichen left Taohe County, there were more than 400 workshops in Taohe County.

There are three large-scale workshops with more than 1,000 people, and more than 200 workshops with more than 100 people.

Although it cannot completely replace the Ming Dynasty, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Taohe County, if it can seize this opportunity, Taohe County is afraid that it will break out in a short period of time large-scale industrialization.

Daming has a saying that is actually true, interests are the basis for promoting everything. ”

"That's the most disgusting thing about businessmen." Hearing this, Tang Jian said with great disdain, "In vain, you are also a scholar, how can you be a businessman for this?" ”

"It is the nature of businessmen to seek profit." Chu Suiliang didn't mind, and said immediately, "This is blameless, when it is unprofitable, and the merchant is still full of energy, then his plan must be even greater."

And when businessmen are pursuing profits, it is actually the time when they are most honest and duty-conscious.

At least the merchants at this time are still within our control.

If Ju (ju, three sounds) Guogong doesn't know, you might as well take a look at Jingyang businessmen, Huang Song and others in the past.

Now, these people are in Chang'an, following the Ming mission into Beijing together, these people are by no means profit-seeking, and sometimes the way of doing business is even to make money at a loss.

Presumably, Ju Guogong should know what these people are plotting, right? ”

Over the years, he has dealt with businessmen a lot, and after a long time, he has a new understanding of businessmen.

In his words, he is not afraid of businessmen seeking profits, but he is afraid that businessmen will not pursue profits.

It's like Huang Song.

Are they merchants?

It must be, in Daming, they are still top luxury businessmen.

But the business these guys are doing now is no longer for the purpose of making profits, which is the most terrifying.

Oh my God, businessmen don't make profits, what are they making money?

Isn't that worth pondering?

"Dengshan is right." Hearing him say this, Li Er also nodded, "Businessmen making profits are indeed blameless, there is nothing to say."

As long as they obey the law, don't ask too much of them. ”

He agrees with Chu Suiliang's point of view that businessmen should pay the most attention only when they are not for profit.

He has seen and heard of such a businessman, and there is more than one.

Isn't the samurai of yesteryear the best example?

When the rest of the crowd heard this, they also nodded.

At this moment, Ma Zhou asked: "So, this is a good thing for Taohe County?" ”

"Not only is it a good thing for Taohe County, but it is also not a bad thing for the entire Tang Dynasty.

If Taohe County can't supply many merchants, those workshops will naturally increase their expansion efforts.

And a group of businessmen find that their supply needs are not met, driven by interests, will they want to do it once and for all to avoid being stuck in the future?

In general, the biggest impact this time will definitely not be my Datang. ”

Chu Suiliang didn't stand on Li Ke, he just expounded a fact.

Moreover, what they did in Taohe County in the past was not for this kind of thing?

Now, it's just harvest time.

Speaking out at this time, it also means to ask for merit for yourself.

"In this matter, the auxiliary machine and Dengshan have done an excellent job." Li Er nodded with great satisfaction and said with a smile, "Now, it's up to Gao Ming to deal with it, and I just take this opportunity to see how well his Da Ming is doing in crisis management." ”

To put it bluntly, now that the pressure has been given to Da Ming, he is quite relaxed.

As for the Ming envoy stationed in the East Palace, everyone didn't say much, without him, it was about the queen, and everyone didn't want to say more.

……

A few days ago, in Douhe County, when Xu Jingzong heard that Liu Shuyi had blocked the border, Xu Jingzong, who had been sick for a long time, finally became energetic!

Yes, he's in good spirits.

This is something he wanted to do for so many years but didn't dare to do, but Liu Shuyi actually did it, how could he not be spiritual?

As the county governor of Taohe County in the past, he was in charge of the workshop, and he knew too well what it meant to Taohe County.

On the same day, he sent someone to call the owners of some large workshops to the county guard yamen.

Even, he invited all the merchants who were the number one in Taohe County, and he didn't exclude the scholars.

"I think you have also heard that this Tangming border blockade is an unprecedented test for us." Xu Jingzong didn't procrastinate, and said directly, "There are so many businessmen who travel back and forth to Tang Ming every day, and now, these caravans from all over the Tang Dynasty are stranded in Taohe County, and they always have to buy some things to go back, otherwise, won't this journey be in vain?"

That is, it is affected by Changming logistics, otherwise, this time for my Taohe County, it should be a godsend. ”

Naturally, everyone understands this truth.

Ever since they heard that the border was blocked, they became aware of the problem.

But even so, there are still businessmen who said: "But since there has been Changming Logistics, the caravans to and from Tang Ming have been much smaller, and some even just sent a few guys to take a trip, after all, now they only need to sign an order, and Changming Logistics will deliver all kinds of goods they need."

So even if a large number of caravans are stranded, many of these caravans have no right to call the shots. ”

"That's why the official said that this is an opportunity for Taohe County." Xu Jingzong said, "In the past, Changming Logistics monopolized the logistics business, although the imperial court also carried out logistics business, but the market share is very small.

And we are even more powerless to compete with Changming Logistics and make it a unicorn in this industry, but this time, isn't it an opportunity for us?

Led by the yamen of our county, the merchants are shared, and the workshops of the entire Taohe County are the cornerstone, how can we not open the market of Taohe logistics?

As you said just now, the many caravans stranded in Taohe County now have no right to call the shots, so do they want to write and ask? It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and the opportunity is fleeting, do you say they are nervous or not?

If at this time, we Taohe Logistics can provide them with express mail business, help them send the letter back and get the letter in the fastest time, you say later, will they choose my Taohe Logistics? ”

Hearing Xu Jingzong say this, everyone was a little stunned.

How dare you think!

But if that's the case, it's a big deal.

Looking at Xu Jingzong's appearance, I am afraid that it is not a day or two to ponder these things.

As for why Xu Jingzong knew that he had blocked the border of Tang and Ming, as the county guard of Taohe County, he had not done so before.

Hehe, what are you kidding, he wants to be motivated and make a fortune, but he is not stupid, blocking the border of Tang and Ming, it is Li Chengqian who offends, unless Li Chengqian is completely finished, it is impossible for him to do this.

If you really want to wait for Li Chengqian to return in the future, he must not be unlucky?

Besides, since Wang Renyou was in the middle, he knew that he didn't need to do this kind of thing.

Now, for him, is the best time.

The two of them fought inseparably, as the county guard of Taohe County, he buried himself in the development of Taohe County, which is what he should do as a county guard.

Only real political achievements are his weapons for dazzling court in the future!

As for Taohe logistics, hehe, isn't that for Li Er.

Of course, if you really want to do it well, that's also his political achievement.

"The county guard is high." A group of businessmen immediately bowed their hands and said, even Cui Hao in the crowd had to admit that in terms of business, Xu Jingzong, a businessman who fell into the money jar, was more suitable than himself.

Xu Jingzong was not complacent, looked at the workshop owners and said: "Now your pressure is the greatest, there are so many caravans stranded in Taohe County, and how many goods they need, can you supply them?" ”

"It should be fine anytime soon." The owners of the three major workshops discussed it for a while, and then said, "Because our workshops have a lot of backlog of goods before, we can supply them in a short time, but after a long time, in terms of our output, it is a little difficult." ”

"Expansion." Xu Jingzong did not hesitate and said, "In the past, the workshops did not dare to expand because they were worried that they would not be able to sell after production, but now this is an opportunity. ”

"But if the Tangming border blockade is lifted in the future......" A workshop owner hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Regardless of whether the Tangming border will be lifted in the future, it doesn't really matter." Xu Jingzong said, "As long as you can seize the caravans from all over the country during this period of time and let them choose you, even if the Tang Ming border is lifted in the future, how much impact will it have on you?"

And, in business, be humble.

Whether it was for the caravans, or for the craftsmen and their workers in the workshop.

Why they were willing to choose to walk more than 100 miles before, and were willing to choose Daming, it was not for nothing. ”

Xu Jingzong was also a little speechless.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the workshop in Taohe County was responsible for making it out single-handedly.

In order to set up an industry in Taohe County, he also went to the six cities of the grassland to dig up a lot of craftsmen, but those people complained to him, saying that the working environment in Taohe County was incomparable with that of the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for Xu Jingzong's repeated promises, it is estimated that some craftsmen would have rolled up and covered the rolls overnight and ran away.

"That ......" said this, and the workshop owners of the various workshops were a little embarrassed.

If you ask them to be polite to officials like Xu Jingzong, that's no problem, even if it's a grandson, but let them be polite to others, hehe......

"Don't do this or that, if you can't fix your stinky problems, even if there is such an opportunity, you can't grasp it.

Don't think that now that the border is closed, those caravans have no choice, and they can control others again.

Pushing them into a hurry, they are not incapable of building a workshop themselves.

If they are willing to invest in the construction of a workshop in Taohe County, the official will definitely support it.

Don't think that now that you have mastered the technology, you are the only existence in Taohe County, not to mention that the Shi clan has begun to build a workshop, even if there is no them, how can the official support you back then, how can you support another group of people to come out! ”

As soon as Xu Jingzong's words came out, all the workshop owners were silent, they knew that this one was angry......

I fell asleep in the morning while writing.
