Chapter 43 Making Money
"I feel that there will definitely be a gap between the old aristocratic faction in their hearts, but they will be more inclined to the imperial court, inclined to me, and even have a great possibility of creating a new aristocratic faction and infighting with the old aristocratic faction! At that time, the imperial court will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman! β
When Changsun Yi said this, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and looked at Lin Yanchen excitedly.
"Lin Aiqing is talented, this 'Tui En Order' is wonderful! The imperial court can weaken the power of the vassal king without a single soldier, and finally return power to the central government, and then no one will dare to restrain me! β
Seeing his excited appearance, Lin Yanchen was embarrassed to interrupt, but finally sighed lightly.
"Your Majesty, don't forget the premise of the execution that the minister said earlier."
Changsun Yi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water from beginning to end, and he sat back in his position with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Lin Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If the current imperial court issues a favor order, I am afraid that it will directly anger the nobles and make them attack them. Only when the central court's combat power is strong enough to make the princes fearful, can it be favored. β
This is also what Lin Yanchen has been struggling with before.
The main reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to successfully implement the Tui En Decree was that the imperial court at that time was too special to fight!
And the Western Han Dynasty experienced the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the strength of the vassal kings in various places has been seriously weakened.
So much so that by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all the vassal kings combined were not opponents of the imperial court.
So at that time, under the premise of a two-pronged approach of fist and jujube, Tui Enling was able to achieve such results.
said that it was "the most unsolvable conspiracy", but in fact, strength determines everything.
Just like Ai Gong said in the previous life, within the range, is the truth.
Therefore, the main role of this plan is only to make a teacher famous, after all, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, and if it is not done well, it will violate the ancestral system and be infamous by future generations.
In addition, this method of deterrence and contradiction transfer can also prevent soldiers from fighting each other, reduce losses to zero, and prevent Zheng and Jing from profiting.
"What Lin Aiqing said is indeed reasonable, but it is easy for you to say it, now that the gap between the combat power of the imperial court and the noble vassal king, how can it be said that it will be smoothed out?" After the eldest grandson Yi calmed down, he also realized where the loophole was.
"Back to Your Majesty, what the minister said about enhancing the combat power of the central court is actually to enhance the combat power in your hands, Your Majesty, which not only starts from the number of soldiers and horses, but also from the quality... Combat literacy, weapons and equipment, high-end combat power, and intelligence efficiency are the starting points. β
"And to cultivate these, you can't do without a money word."
Eldest Sun Yi nodded frequently when he listened, and couldn't help but look at Lin Yanchen differently.
Originally, I just thought that he was a womanizer, so he could write poetry, but I didn't expect him to have such a unique insight into the theory of governing the country.
But at this time, Huaiyu, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly discovered the problem and interjected.
"You say so much nonsense, don't you go back to the issue of Sun Shangshu in the end, develop finances, open sources and reduce expenditure, don't you have to ask for money from the nobles?"
Lin Yanchen rolled his eyes.
I suspect you are revenge for my morning molestation, but I have no proof!
"Huaiyu, don't be so rude! Sun Shangshu's deposing of the entire aristocracy was indeed too radical, but if only the nobles were asked to donate some money, I don't think they would refuse. β
After listening to Changsun Yi's explanation, Huaiyu felt a little embarrassed, but he still glared at Lin Yanchen and leaned back on the pillar to close his eyes and recuperate.
Lin Yanchen chuckled and shook his head.
This girl is really stubborn.
However, he didn't take it too seriously, but continued to say to Changsun Yi.
"Your Majesty, the minister's meaning is not like this, Sun Shangshu said that the minister agrees with the words open source and throttling, but the minister's idea is the opposite of Sun Shangshu."
"Oh? Let's hear it. "The eldest grandson Yi sat up straight, the emperor who was high on weekdays, at this time he was like a little sister next door who was concentrating on seeking advice.
"Sun Shangshu believes that the development of finance should focus on reducing expenditure, and the minister believes that 'open source' is the first priority. As for how to open source ......"
Speaking of this, Lin Yanchen looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he still ran to Changsun Yi's side and whispered a few times in his ear.
What he didn't notice was that Changsun Yi's body trembled slightly, and the jade hand on his lap was also clenched, as if he was enduring the discomfort.
After finishing his plan, Lin Yanchen retreated.
Just seeing that the emperor's cheeks were red to the root of his ears, he was a little confused.
Your Majesty, is this shy?
Wrong!
I forgot that Your Majesty is a GAY!
Wouldn't I ......
Hissββ!
Holy! I don't want to go to bed tonight!
"Ahem," Lin Yanchen forced himself to calm down and get down to business first, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" β
Eldest Sun Yi's face returned to seriousness in an instant, and he replied in a slightly awkward tone.
"Very... Very good, it's just that Lin Aiqing said that the early stage needs to run the funds, so where does this money come from? β
Lin Yanchen smiled mysteriously when he heard this.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, don't forget about this Linzhou disaster relief, once you go on this trip, you will definitely handle it properly! Not only will we solve the drought, but we will also solve your urgent needs! β
Lin Yanchen is very confident in this, as an advanced soul who has crossed over from the 21st century, it is not simple to make money and improve the combat strength of the army?
Siege engines, catapults, alloy weapons and armor, and even explosives! These are brought out, and they are directly dimensionally reduced, and what bullshit aristocrats become grandsons in minutes!
But to get all this stuff done, you have to put money into it!
Just like raw materials, equipment, and manpower, which don't cost money?
So making money has become the primary goal now.
On weekdays, he would start to buy some wool from rich merchants and corrupt officials in Kyoto to make do, or do some work to do business, improve cloth and open a restaurant.
But now there is such a good opportunity to suppress bandits and provide disaster relief, of course, to make some quick money!
"With Lin Aiqing's words, I am in a much better mood, but you will definitely win the championship in today's poetry meeting!" Changsun Yi changed his words at this time.
What? Poetry Club! Damn, Lao Tzu forgot about the poetry meeting!
Lin Yanchen then remembered that he hadn't sent poems to the two Shangshu yet.
And the two old silver coins are all famous sentences for the ages, and the question of "who will sit on the poem" is enough for him to struggle.
Thinking of this, Lin Yanchen explained to Changsun Yi what happened last night.
"Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu ...... last night"
β¦β¦
The other side.
Zheng and Jing did not play on the streets of the inner city at this time, but were in their own arranged residences, telling their respective teachers or accompanying Confucians about what happened at the poetry meeting last night.
They wanted to go back last night and talk about it, but they were delayed by the temporary Flying Flower Order.
After going back, those great Confucians have long since rested, and as junior students, they are naturally not easy to disturb.
I had to wait until today.
And the reaction of those great Confucians was surprisingly unanimous......
