Hearing this, Sang Nan's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood what he meant.

He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Gu can take on this important task, and the minister is willing to assist the deputy general." ”

Qi Shengxuan heard what he wanted to hear.

The fingers placed on the desk paused.

His eyes shifted to Gu Changce, who was kneeling beside him and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

He asked in a soft tone, "What does Gu Aiqing think?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Changce put down the cup in his hand, and his thin lips opened lightly: "The court needs it, and the ministers will never give up, but..."

Speaking of which, his style of painting changed.

Qi Shengxuan's eyes also sank.

He heard Gu Changce say lightly: "It's easy to start a war, but now that the treasury is tight, the minister is afraid that the reserve grain and grass can't keep up." ”

Since ancient times, when marching and fighting, grain and grass go first.

The grain and grass could not keep up, and they were defeated before the battle.

After saying this, Qi Shengxuan's brows furrowed again.

The huge Qinzheng Hall also fell into silence again.

Qi Shengxuan's attack on the Xiongnu was almost iron-hearted, but economic problems were also imminent.

He did not dare to rashly increase taxes and taxes, which feared the foundation of the country and caused peasant riots.

At a time when it is at a loss.

Suddenly, I heard a clear voice behind me: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan." ”

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a young man with a thin figure and a soap-colored Zen robe walking out behind Zuo Yuzhang, the imperial historian.

Qi Shengxuan looked at him with a familiar face, but he couldn't remember who it was.

just raised his jaw slightly: "Aiqing, please speak." ”

The man immediately said in a slow and unhurried tone: "The minister thinks that the five baht coins can be used instead of the four coins that are now in circulation, so as to achieve the purpose of returning the coinage rights to the central government. ”

Prior to this, Qi Shengxuan had moved the idea of this aspect, but it was just four plants of money instead of three plants.

After the introduction of use, it was found that the currency was easy to be stolen and minted, and then it was discontinued.

Five baht money.... It's a novel idea.

Thinking like this, he heard the young man say: "The five-baht coin is as heavy as the letter, it is well-made, and the cost of piracy is high, so it can effectively return the coinage to the central government." ”

That's a good idea.

It can also effectively improve the economy.

However, Qi Shengxuan's expression was faint: "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it will still not be able to support the needs of food and grass during the war." ”

Hearing this, the young man smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is right, but what the minister wants to say is still later." ”

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the young man.

Wei Yuyu glanced around the faces of these people with different expressions.

happened to see Gu Changce sitting on the futon at this time, his dark eyes were dark, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, just looking at him for a while.

He lowered his eyes and said in a slow tone: "Minister, I beg your majesty to nationalize the salt and iron industry, and from now on, it will be under the control of the government, and the proceeds will supplement the taxes." ”

As soon as these words fell, Qi Shengxuan suddenly felt that the spiritual platform was clear.

It seemed that the question that had been bothering him for a long time was instantly cleared of the fog by the gentle and clever words of the young man in front of him.

His excited fingers trembled a little, and he hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea and poured it down.

It's salt and iron!

He was talking about salt and iron.

When Gu Changce heard this, he also sat up in an instant.

Only those who have marched know how important the industry of salt and iron is.

If you don't eat salt, you won't have strength.

Without iron, there is no chance of victory.

This move can not only solve economic problems, but even ensure domestic stability in wartime.

Qi Shengxuan was overjoyed and asked him, "Aiqing's current ......?"

Wei Zhiyu naturally picked up: "The minister is now the lieutenant commander of Zhongchaolang." ”

Qi Shengxuan clapped his palms: "Then today I will order you to temporarily serve as a big farmer, responsible for the issuance of five baht coins, and the affairs of the salt and iron official camp." ”

Wei Zhiyu knelt down and received the order: "The minister receives the order." ”

Here, when the conservative prime minister Zhang Jingchu saw that the emperor had let such a young man be a big farmer in charge of the national economy, he immediately stood up in shock and stopped: "Your Majesty, you can't!" ”

Qi Shengxuan, who was already on the top: "Aiqing, stop up." ”

......

The secret conversation continued until the late afternoon.

When they left the palace gate, except for a few generals, everyone was already exhausted.

Wei Yuyu went out of Wangxian Gate, and when he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly bumped into Gu Changce, who was walking out with him.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, calling him: "Lord Wei"

Wei Yu's fingers paused slightly.

Since Gu Changce snatched his nominal fiancée, the two have rarely caught up together.

Wei Rank's jade eyes shone slightly.

But he didn't show anything on his face, and when he turned around, he had a three-point smile on his face, and called softly: "Jing'an." ”

This was an important time for his promotion, and he did not want to be evil with others.

Looking at Gu Changce like this, it doesn't look like he wants to find fault.

The two walked side by side, and the expression on Wei Yuyu's face remained unchanged, but his nerves were tense.

But Gu Changce's expression was idle.

It's like chatting with old friends.

He doesn't talk about things going up, just gossiping with him.

The rambling is endless.

Rao is a person with a good temperament like Wei Yu, and he can't help but lose patience in the end.

The corners of his lips pursed slightly.

Thinking to himself, Gu Changce didn't know what was crazy today, obviously he was a neat person on weekdays.

Why is it like this today?

For a moment, he almost couldn't bear to say to Gu Changce: "Jing'an, if you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to go around in circles with me." ”

But he held back, and he didn't say anything after all.

It's just that the corner of his eye also noticed that Gu Changce's slender finger bones have been constantly stroking a silver jade buckle hanging from his waist.

He casually complimented, "This accessory is exquisite." ”

Who knew that when these words fell, Gu Changce immediately smiled and bent his eyes.

He replied with a smile: "Uchiko sent it." ”

Wei Yu: "......"

Who is Gu Changce's inner son, naturally it is his ex-fiancée Shen Zuihuan.

He was embarrassed in his heart, thinking that he had just mentioned that too much.

As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to change the topic, he saw the man in front of him unfastening the silver jade buckle around his waist and almost slammed it into his eyes.

The hand-carved runes on the back of the silver jade buckle are densely packed.

Wei Yuyu heard him say in a faint tone: "The rune behind this is also engraved by her own hand, saying that it can... Keep people safe. ”
