readx;? The people of the Han nation are the best people, there are not many requirements, as long as there is rice in the bowl, they will not think about making anyone's rebellion, and Han Tongwen does not want to see the black kite pecking people's intestines and hanging dead branches on the fly, such a sad scene. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info net

"Lord Shangguan, as long as it is disaster relief, I, Han Tongwen, will never hide my secrets"

"It's not a secret, my Datang is now up to Your Majesty, down to the hundred officials are worried about Beiting Xizhou, but the treasury is empty, and it will take a month for the tax to be in place at the earliest, and the tax can't even be supplied by the army, it is even more difficult to provide disaster relief, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the treasury is no longer able to mobilize money and grain for disaster relief, Master Pei said that you can come up with such a way to work for relief, and there must be other ways to do it."

Han Tongwen stood up and thought that the premise of cash-for-work is that there is money and food to be put in the hands of refugees, and if there is no such premise, cash-for-work is undoubtedly a harsh government, and it will force these refugees to rebel. But how to provide disaster relief without money and food, isn't this whimsical? Han Tongwen has not given up, he has more than a thousand years of vision and knowledge, he must still have some mistakes, and he will definitely be able to find a way.

The treasury has no money and no food, so who will have it! Han Tongwen's eyes lit up, the richest people in the Tang Dynasty were not the treasury, but those rich and oily aristocrats.

"Lord Shangguan, please forgive me for saying bluntly, although my Datang treasury is empty, those wealthy dignitaries have not been affected, why not requisition money and food from these wealthy dignitaries for disaster relief"

"Tongwen, just say this here, don't spread it, otherwise you will become the public enemy of the entire court, and even Pei Yan will not agree. Ji Ling said

"Mr. Ji Da, why is this?"

"Although the nobles of the Tang Dynasty are hostile to each other, they will always be a whole in safeguarding their own interests, and the emperor also knows that these nobles are all wealthy, but he does not dare to make such a request, if it is forcibly requisitioned, it will endanger even the far north and the western state, and the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner, and no one is allowed to break the rules and open the gap among the nobles, which is also the reason why the nobles of Guanlong have been able to survive several dynasties of wars" Ji Ling explained some secret relationships in the officialdom for Han Tongwen.

"Your Majesty will not agree either, because Your Majesty's royal family is also one of the great nobles of Guanlong," Shangguan Yi added

"Are they just watching the people of Beiting and Xizhou groaning in hunger, desperate in helplessness, I have experienced despair, and I know how crazy desperate people can become as long as they have a glimmer of life"

"Tongwen, you once said that the lack of walls in Zhaowen Academy is a kind of arrogance, and the same interests are also a wall, a shadowless and invisible wall that exists forever, and even if the flood outside the wall is raging, the people inside the wall will not have the slightest mercy. For thousands of years, you can see that there are people who have left their families and businesses and scattered their wealth for good deeds? This has been the case for thousands of years, and it will be like this in a thousand years, selfishness and greed, this is the human heart, this is human nature. Ji Ling is used to seeing too many such cases.

Only then did Han Tongwen understand that they were originally officials to protect their own interests, and then seek greater interests, Shakyamuni could cut meat and feed the eagle so he was a Buddha, so he was unique, and it was difficult for these greedy nobles to contribute money and effort, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky, Han Tongwen also felt that he was a little taken for granted.

"This is a red line, when you don't cross it, everyone is gentle to you, everyone is a humble gentleman, but once you cross it, everything will change, everyone will stand on the opposite side of you, and they will kill you"

Shangguan Yi didn't know why Mr. Ji would say so much to Han Tongwen, he just listened and didn't speak.

"Then as long as I don't touch their interests, will it be fine?" Han Tongwen asked

"Not bad"

"There is, there is!" Han Tongwen said excitedly, "Is it possible to do any way as long as you can provide disaster relief and do not touch the interests of the wealthy nobles!"

"Yes, that's the case in theory," Shangguan Yi said, "What good idea have you come up with?"

"I need to find someone who can verify my method to help me refer to it, Mr. Ji, Lord Shangguan, I will take my leave first, please allow me to report on the other day"

"Okay, let's go" Ji Ling smiled and said, "Bring your funeral post"

After Han Tongwen picked up the post and left embarrassedly, Shangguan Yi asked with some puzzlement

"Sir, he is from Qingya Academy, why are you .....?"

"Why did you tell him so much?" Ji Ling said with a smile, "He is very likely to be the next generation of Qingya Academy Mountain Chief Wenzong, although I don't know how Old Li An is going to do such a difficult thing, but I believe in Li An's methods, and secondly, I can't let go of some selfishness on the table."

"Sir, the officialdom of Beiting and Xizhou has collapsed and cannot continue to operate, and the officials sent there are not familiar with the local people, which makes disaster relief even more difficult."

"The collapse of officialdom is secondary, and the most important thing is the destruction of the basic institutions in these two places. Rent adjustment is the national policy of my Tang Empire, and it is also the cornerstone of the stability of the empire, the population imbalance between Beiting and Xizhou, the rent adjustment system cannot be operated, although its harm is not visible now, but after the disaster relief, it will face more serious problems" Ji Ling's vision is very long-term and very accurate.

Shangguan Yi is not incompetent, as soon as Ji Ling said this, he immediately understood that there was some negligence in the previous plan: "The first task of the officials sent by Chang'an is not disaster relief, but to re-register and make a record!"

"Well, Datang is surging undercurrents now, you need to be careful in everything."

"Sir, the Jingguan Waifang has successfully transferred the power of the Ying Guo Mansion to the margins, what should I do next?" Shangguan Yi said with a smile

"No, let's relax for the time being, your series of actions have caused speculation from the Ying Guo Mansion, presumably they are trying to find a way to counterattack, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy attacks me."

After Han Tongwen left in a hurry, he did not return to Hanyezhuang, but hurried to the mansion of Liu Chuang, a wealthy businessman in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Wenju was also in the mansion, and when he heard that Han Tongwen was visiting, he hurriedly went out.

"Tongwen, why did you come," Liu Wenju said with a smile

"It's good not to raise my brother today"

"Okay, of course, I wrote a poem, why don't you come and taste it," Liu Wenju invited enthusiastically.

"This ....." Han Tongwen hesitated a little, he came with a serious matter.

"Wenju, don't mess around, Tong Wenxian's nephew is in a hurry, and there is something important to think about," Liu Chuang said

"I've seen Uncle Liu, but there is a big event here"

"This is not the place to talk, follow me"

"Tongwen, we are literati, why do we always do the behavior of some businessmen" Liu Wenju also knew what the Tang Opera House was.

Liu Chuang sighed, very helpless to his son, who looked down on business, and the low status of businessmen was also helpless.

"Literary deeds, no rudeness"

After entering the luxurious hall, Liu Chuang and Han Tongwen sat down, and Liu Wenju left by himself, unwilling to participate.

"What is the so-called matter of the virtuous nephew in such a hurry?"

"It's a hurry, so I'll get straight to the point."

"But it doesn't hurt to say"

"How many rich businessmen like you are in Datang?"

"There are three wealthy merchants in Datang, and my Liu family is only one of them, followed by the Dai family, a grain merchant, and the Zhao family in the brick and tile transportation industry."

"If it's a disaster relief, do you think the wealth of the three families can be used to help Bukjeongseju and Jeju?"

Han Tongwen's words aroused Liu Chuang's vigilance, in the eyes of the scholars and nobles of these merchants, the only use is to exploit them, selling cheap and expensive and having a lot of money, all of which are ill-gotten gains, and there is no psychological burden at all when they are exploited and squeezed.

"Uncle Liu, don't get me wrong, Tongwen definitely doesn't have any other ideas"

"More than enough"

"Okay!" Han Tongwen had excitement on his face.

"During the period of the two ancestors of the commercial courtyard Yan and Huang, its status was included in the four people in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in the Warring States period made the status of merchants plummet, and they despised the pursuit of profit."

Liu Chuang's face is also very decadent, even if he has endless wealth, his status is only higher than that of prostitutes and slaves.

"I have a very mature method, and I learned that I can improve the status of the businessman," Han Tongwen said

"Oh, is it?" Liu Chuang's performance was very flat, such a situation has been maintained for so many years, how can it be easily broken.

"Now the war in the Tang Dynasty has disappeared, but left behind the devastated Beiting Xiju and Jeju, especially in Xiju Beiting, the two-year war has led to the emptiness of the treasury, and now the imperial court is simply unable to provide disaster relief, but sit idly by, if millions of refugees make trouble, it will be turned upside down. Now those who have the power to provide disaster relief are the wealthy dignitaries who are businessmen."

"Which big nobles are Pixiu who only enter but can't leave" Liu Chuang snorted coldly, he often dealt with these nobles, and he saw the faces of which nobles very clearly.

"If Datang wants to provide disaster relief, he can only rely on the power of Shangjia, Your Majesty rarely contacts Shangjia, you can also take this opportunity to show Your Majesty your strength, so that Your Majesty can see that you have the ability to change Datang"

Han Tongwen's language is very demagogic, for Liu Chuang, he is hungry for endless wealth, what he wants is status, but when he thinks about it, if he relies on their strength to relieve the disaster, I am afraid that he really has to spend all his family wealth to do it, and his savings for decades will be squandered.

"Tongwen, your idea is good, but even if we have such an idea, it is difficult to reach the heavens, and the other is that no one in the court will agree, we businessmen say something ugly, that is, the pigs raised by the nobles in captivity, fattened to the point of being slaughtered, if we want to break free from their mercy, it is difficult!" Liu Chuang is also helpless, he walks on thin ice all day long, has no status, as long as he makes a small mistake, his wealth will become a life-urging charm.

"This is not a problem, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about disaster relief, I discussed with the Prime Minister Shangguan before I came, he will help us in order to help the disaster, and Master Pei Yan Pei and I went out of Qingya Academy together, it is really not good, I can also ask my teacher Mr. Li to support" In order to reassure Liu Chuang, Han Tongwen had to confess.

"What do you need me to do" Liu Chuang decided to fight

"Please ask Uncle Liu to contact Dai Zhao's second family, jointly write a letter, and send it to Pei's Mansion, I will go to Pei's Mansion to fight for you."

"If this matter is completed, all the merchants in the world will thank you for your great kindness."
