Chapter 142: Wu Anjun rises in vain
Outside the Prime Minister's Gate,
At the beginning of the day,
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. ”
Qin Qingtang looked at the cold long street and sighed lightly, the original linen cloth had been changed into the one that should be worshipped, but the days of countless dawn people in the world would continue, and it was better for him to use his old body to find more livelihood for the people than to die in the mansion.
"Duke Qin, the seven-day appointment has arrived. ”
"This hall, I am here to invite the Duke of Qin to enter the court. ”
Xu Xian stepped from the corner of the street, the soles of his boots stepped on the ground, and the young man's clear voice came into Qin Qingtang's ears from a long distance, and when he looked closely, the sharp minions on the black and gold python robe were even sharper, and there was always an invisible momentum on the thin figure of the young man, and this python robe was even more majestic and extraordinary.
"The old man has been waiting for His Highness for a long time. ”
Qin Qingtang straightened out the new court clothes on his body and bowed in the direction of the visitor, and did not have any pampering and arrogant meaning, after the Liangzhou spy department sent the court clothes yesterday, the candlelight in the study was lit overnight, and when the sky was not clear, he waited outside the house early, since he had already made a choice, there was naturally no need to be cowardly.
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. ”
"Dare to ask Qin Gong, if his stubborn disease penetrates deep into the bone marrow, where should he be?"
A salute in return,
Xu Xian looked at Qin Qingtang and said, the latter was stunned for a moment and finally smiled bitterly, as the prime minister, the stubborn disease of the previous dynasty penetrated deep into the bone marrow like an appendage of bones, and no one in the world knew better than him, but it was by no means so easy to deal with.
"Gong Qin doesn't have to rush to answer. ”
"At this time, it is still early, and there are still some hours in the early dynasty, so it is better to accompany the main hall to walk in the city. ”
"You have to do it. ”
Qin Qingtang was slightly behind Xu Xian and walked half a step to the street, looking carefully, there was still no shortage of Liangzhou soldiers patrolling the red-clothed and black-clothed families everywhere in the city, but the cold atmosphere dissipated a lot.
When you walk to Yongle Long Street,
The originally cold city also has a little vitality, pedestrians can be seen on the road in a hurry, the hawkers shouting and shouting in the streets and alleys occasionally sound, the few shops on the street are also half-covered by the gatehouse, most of the one hundred and eight squares in Beijing have been opened, and the patrolling Liangzhou soldiers have not disturbed the people.
It is also said that no matter whose butt sits in that position, it makes no difference to the flat-headed people in the city, but they know that there is no rice to cook at home, and they have to beg for a livelihood, not to mention that on that day, countless prisoners were beheaded all over the house, and countless heads fell to the ground.
"It seems that the capital is quite stable. ”
Qin Qingtang looked at Xu Xian's eyes with a little more relief, that day thousands of heads fell to the ground, thinking that after the army entered the city, there would be a military disaster, after all, the words of the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals did not come in vain, but I still didn't expect that there would be the slightest rumor in the past few days.
"Among them, Gong Qin has made great contributions!"
Xu Xian said bluntly, the second day after the father ascended the throne and announced the world, there was a thick piece of music from the prime minister's mansion sent into the palace, and the third day was dozens of decrees from the capital, in order to calm the world, to determine the people's hearts, it is worth mentioning that the grasp of the people's hearts for more than ten years is very good, and the orders of the states and counties are all old soldiers in the Liangzhou army, with the front line, no one dared to say for a while, this huge world is temporarily stable.
"Goo-Goo......
There was a sound in the belly.
"I got up early in the morning and didn't have a meal, so I rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"If Duke Qin doesn't mind, why don't you eat something and talk while eating. ”
Looking at a bun shop on the street, Xu Xian said.
"I heard that Qin Gong likes to eat steamed buns. ”
"Your Highness, you have a heart. ”
Looking up at the familiar signboard, Qin Qingtang walked inside, the shopkeeper was lying on the wooden chair and falling asleep, the two guys at the door were kneading the dough hard, the firewood was vigorous, the steamer was steaming, and the moment the lid was lifted, the aroma was emitting and attracting people's appetites.
"The shopkeeper has a guest!"
After seeing Qin Qingtang's face clearly, the guy in the store gently pushed the shopkeeper who was snoring.
"Lord Qin, you are still alive!"
After the shopkeeper woke up, he looked at the visitor blankly, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he had not made a mistake, he almost jumped up from the bench, and the joy on his face was overflowing.
"Yo, look at my mouth, Lord Qin, please come inside!"
The shopkeeper twitched his cheek and said diligently, but after seeing the person behind him, he was indeed stunned, he didn't know Xu Xian, but after all, he had lived in Beijing for a long time and knew what the python robe meant, not to mention that there was only one person who dared to wear a python robe for a lifetime in the city.
When your knees are weak, you will fall to the ground,
"Just make a good bun. ”
Xu Xian waved his hand,
The shopkeeper hit a spirit, and the hand carrying the cage trembled slightly, but when he came back to his senses, he just felt that the ancestors had blessed him, and even his mouth trembled, and after a stick of incense, the shopkeeper served two portions according to Qin Qingtang's usual food.
"What is the price of food in the city?"
Qin Qingtang looked at the steaming buns on the table, turned around and glanced at the wooden sign behind him, and was stunned for a moment before opening his mouth to ask Xu Xian.
"Doumi is only twenty-five Wen, and Doumen is only twenty-three Wen......"
Xu Xian took a sip of soy milk and said leisurely.
"How can it be so cheap?"
Qin Qingtang looked at Xu Xian intently, this price has approached the price of grain in the capital in the past, it is only three taels of money at a high level, but you must know that this is not a peaceful and prosperous era.
Xu smiled without saying a word, and Bai Xiaosheng behind him stepped forward when he saw this.
"Prime Minister Qin, a few days ago, nearly 100 criminals raided their homes and found more than 100,000 quintals of grain and grass in various manors outside the city, and now they have put grain into the market, and the price is naturally cheap. ”
"More than 100,000 quintals?"
Qin Qingtang exclaimed.
"Hmm!"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded firmly.
"Not enough!"
After a moment of mental arithmetic, Qin Qingtang said in a deep voice again.
"Qin Xiangdon't forget about the granary last time. ”
"After the death of the officials involved in the case, the grain worth three million taels was not found in the manor. ”
"So, that's your handiwork?"
Qin Qingtang was not annoyed, but just sighed.
"Naturally, after entering the manor, the batch of grain and grass has been secretly replaced, and it was hidden outside the city as it was intended to be used as military food when the army besieged the city, and it could last for some time. ”
"However, His Royal Highness broke the city too quickly, and before that batch of grain and grass could be sent to the army, it had already been broken in the capital, so this batch of grain and grass also entered the market, and the price of grain and grass in Shangjing was naturally stable. ”
After Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, he respectfully retreated behind Xu Xian.
"That's it, it's all in the past, don't mention it. ”
Qin Qingtang smiled bitterly and shook his head, so a large batch of grain and grass can also be stolen and exchanged, among them, there are still many people with oil and water on their hands, the former has just been raided, and the latter is still embezzled without mercy, which is ridiculous, and many matters have once again refreshed his understanding of the decay of the previous dynasty.
"Your Highness, now that I think about it, the old minister may already have the answer in his heart. ”
Qin Qingtang solemnly spoke.
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. ”
"But if you're terminally ill. ”
Qin Qingtang paused,
The expression on his face became solemn.
"Scrape your bones and heal your wounds!"
After finishing the word by word, there was no anger in his eyes,
But the cold in the words is indeed coming out of the body.
"It is very good that Qin Gong can understand this truth, in the past, Qin Gong entered the Zhongshu Province as the Zhongshu Order, the head of the three phases, he has the power to the government and the opposition, and has the ambition to serve the country, but in the end, Qin Gong is still too peaceful, since he is terminally ill, he should naturally scrape the bones to heal the wounds, if the scraping of the bones is not successful, then he will be cut together. ”
"The most familiar with the bureaucratic system of the previous dynasty is the Duke of Qin, this trip to find the Duke of Qin is also for this talk, since the Duke of Qin already has this thought, the palace can also lead the troops to the south with peace of mind, and there will be chaos in the country with the Duke of Qin. ”
"When the main hall is broken, Qi Wei's class master will return to the dynasty, and it will be the time to scrape the bones and heal the wounds!"
"When the time comes, I hope that Qin Xiang will hand over the knife. ”
Xu Xian put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and bowed.
"Your Highness is serious, and the old minister is in charge. ”
"This knife old minister should be sharpened as fast as possible, and when the time comes, His Highness will cut people much neatly!" Qin Qingtang already had a thought in his heart, today the court stabilized the hundred officials, but the matter of returning to the mansion should also be prepared.
"In this way, there will be Lao Qingong!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down.
"His Royal Highness can rest assured, and the old minister can last a few days. ”
"It is also expected that His Highness will lead the army to go on the expedition, but has the preparation of the grain and grass in the southward army been completed this time?"
"When I heard that I went on the expedition, plus the people gathered a total of 900,000 people to go north, it had already cost a lot of people's livelihood in the Guannai, and although the loss of materials, grain and grass was collected after the defeat of the Plains, it must have been a heavenly figure, and the cost of transporting grain from the north to Beijing was a lot, I am afraid it was not enough for His Highness to go south to fight. ”
"Your Highness broke the golden tent, and the cattle and sheep were transported from the Gobi, and I am afraid that the days are counted, but they have just arrived at the boundary of Yumen Pass, and they are far away from Shangjing. ”
"I'm afraid it's ...... if you want to collect grain from the people in the Kannai"
After sitting down, Qin Qingtang pondered for a moment and then hit the nail on the head, and his face was also a little worried.
"Duke Qin doesn't have to worry about this, this hall will not compete with the people for profit. ”
"What's more, that little bit of grain and grass is not enough for the army to fight for a long time. ”
Xu Xian naturally understood what Qin Qingtang meant, and opened his mouth to dispel his concerns, this southern expedition has already set the charter, 200,000 Liangzhou soldiers are the main force, plus the defeated soldiers of the Plains Plains, a total of more than 400,000, of course, the soldiers of the former dynasty who have been relieved, Xu Xian did not expect them to play anything on the battlefield, nothing more than to repair bridges and roads, and transport grain and grass, but the total of 400,000 people of grain and grass is not a small amount, plus the consumption in wartime is several times more than usual, and it is not easy to raise all of them for a while.
"I don't know where Your Highness's grain and grass come from?"
Qin Qingtang spoke again.
"There are three major grain merchants in the world. ”
Xu Xian only had one sentence left, and then drank the porridge leisurely.
Qin Qingtang frowned when he heard this, although he had heard about this rumor, but he didn't check many of the insiders, after all, this was a matter of the household department, not to mention that the cake was too big, and he didn't want to lift the table.
"Commander Bai, can the spies of Daijun have any news back?"
"Your Highness's ministers have been prepared. ”
So let's talk about it in detail. ”
"A few days ago, the saucer of Daijun has sent back the news, and the minister has found an interesting thing after sorting it out, the land of Daijun and a county, during which the rich families are very rich, and the wind of doing business has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of Daijun, in addition to grain and grass is salt and iron. ”
"The Fan family, the Cao family, and the Qu family, these three families made their fortunes by doing business, and the assets of the three families for hundreds of years are counted together, and the treasury has millions of taels of silver. ”
......
"The Daijun grain merchant is so rich?"
After hearing this, Qin Qingtang just felt shocked, his fists clenched, his arms faintly green tendons rising, and he didn't know that there was soy milk spilled on the table.
"Hoarding strange goods, smuggling salt and iron is naturally rich, not to mention that there are so many family gates behind him who are sheltered and mixed in. ”
"What kind of grain and grass is Your Highness referring to?"
After settling down, Qin Qingtang already had a guess in his heart.
"This is where the food and grass for the army to go on the expedition. ”
"The main hall has sent people to Daijun a few days ago, and asked them to send a representative to Beijing to discuss something, and the day should be here this afternoon. ”
Xu Xian finished eating the last bun in the cage and glanced at the sky.
"Your Highness, this ......"
"They have too much money and food in their family to save, and there are many interests in the previous dynasty, plus the family gate valve secretly shelters and no one touches them, but in the eyes of the butcher, they are just a big fat pig with white and fat. ”
"And I don't mind being this butcher. ”
"In the past, everyone said that my father was a butcher, but now it is natural for a son to inherit his father's business. ”
Xu Xian patted the equinox knife on his waist and grinned.
"The world is bustling for profit, and the grain price in Beijing is not in addition to my Liangzhou's handwriting, and there is no shadow of the grain merchant in the county. ”
"Duke Qin's expedition is imminent, there are still many matters in the main hall, so I will leave first, and I will be tired of Duke Qin these days in the future!"
After Xu Xian finished drinking the porridge, he got up and bowed to Qin Qingtang.
......
Outside the Zhang Ji bun shop,
"Old minister Qin Qingtang, congratulations to His Highness in advance!"
Qin Qingtang said solemnly.
After speaking, step by step step on the bluestone to the direction of the palace, just as the morning sun rose, looking at the direction of the Taihe Hall from afar, I only felt that the light was shining, like the rising sun in the east, there were countless possibilities and hopes.
"Gong Qin is alive again!"
Xu Xian muttered.
"Qin Xiang is a good prescription for governing the world, and the same ruling the world is also a rare medicine for Qin Xiang. ”
Bai Xiaosheng also sighed lightly.
"Well, the court is over, and it's time to prepare for the southern expedition. ”
Ding Dong –
The system has been updated, please check the host as soon as possible.
Xu Xian looked at the cold long street, but his mind had sunk into the system, on the day his father ascended the throne, the system had a prompt sound, if you have to describe it, it is more like an update of the version, when you sit in the position of the Taihe Palace, it is the end of a stage, and it just triggered the opportunity of the update.
This is the world where rivers and lakes coexist with the court,
In addition to the rivers and lakes, there are naturally court battlefields to kill.
Host: Xu Xian,
Summoning martial arts characters: Ximen Blowing Snow, Ye Gucheng, Sikong Picking Stars, Yan Thirteen, Guihai Yidao, Bai Xiaosheng, Qiao Feng, Dugu Seeking Defeat......
Summoning a military commander and strategist;——
"The first lottery will reward people of the same level, and please start as soon as possible. ”
The cold prompt sound of the system came again,
From the Humen Pass to the breaking of the city, all the exclamation points dissolved together, and the familiar figures in my mind began to circulate, and finally froze.
"How is he?"
Xu Xian looked at the figure that appeared in his mind and was a little distracted, and finally turned into a sigh, feeling the location of the breath in his mind and walking towards the city gate.
"The surname Mi, the Bai family, the name. ”
"In your last life, you were named Wu'an, and you died in Du You, but in the end, it was too short, and there was no fun, so come in this life. ”
On the long street, Xu Xian read softly,
The sword at his waist roared, and the murderous aura was vertical and horizontal.
