"Your Majesty, don't you... It's better to let these two stay together in Hanzhong and collude. One must be in the south of the mountain and the other is in the south of Huainan, and they are both important towns, which is even more so..." Zheng Zhi was so distressed, but he couldn't say it.

But at this moment, Li Mi suddenly turned around, and his slender phoenix eyes stared at Zheng Zi with bright eyes.

Zheng Zhi couldn't help but be surprised.

But Li Mi seemed to see through his thoughts, but he didn't say anything, but made a revision to the emperor's proposal: "Now the prime minister and Fang Yue's envoy must be harmonious with each other so that they can do great things."

The emperor suddenly realized that what Li Mi was talking about was the struggle between Zhang Yanshang, Ma Sui, Han Huan and Li Sheng. He whispered to Li Mi, and the monarch and his ministers quickly reached a tacit understanding.

Then Li Mi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. When the emperor saw that it was the recommended list that Han Huan had previously reported in Qujiang Pavilion in the Shangshu Province and was collectively presented with ministers.

The emperor didn't say anything and took the paper away.

At this time, Li Shi asked Hanlin Master Lu Zhi: "Lu Jiu, immediately buy rice from Sanchuan, how to buy rice?"

Lu Zhi immediately held up his sleeves and said with a full-mouthed Wu recitation: "Report to Your Majesty, the world is suffering two major things, one is uneven prices, and the other is light and the money is heavy. Now the price of rice in the capital is high, and a bucket of coarse wheat costs 300 ounces. Take Gao Yisong's Xingyuan Mansion as an example. Because rice and wheat are both granular, the rice price has dropped sharply, and a bucket of wheat costs only 80 ounces and a bucket of rice only 60 ounces. Yisong wrote to me before, saying that although the people have achieved a good harvest, they are still trapped in the low grain. Therefore, the method of buying should be implemented, which can not only make the people of Sanchuan profit, but also help the disaster in the capital."

"Oh, then Lu Jiu, tell me, how can this be achieved with the method of purging?"

"Your Majesty, the reason why the grain is low in the harvest season and the grain is low in the cause of the farmers is that the goods are light and the money is heavy. Since the country implemented the two tax laws, most of the millet, wheat, rice, cloth, hemp, salt, etc. offered in order to facilitate the convenience, most of the millet, wheat, rice, cloth, hemp, salt, etc. are converted into money to be sent to the capital, and the rest are mostly stored in the local area to prepare for floods, droughts and famines. Therefore, the money is mostly collected in the capital's public and private warehouses, and will not be circulated, making the world's money shortage more intense and the prices are cheaper. Not only will it hurt farmers, but it will also hurt workers. Therefore, Your Majesty might as well hand over the gathered money to the northwest, Sanchuan and other places to purchase rice at a standard of one-five cents higher than the market price, and transport it to the warehouses of the capital. This will not only prevent famine in Guanzhong, but also store it as military rations, and allow the people of Sanchuan to avoid selling their income at a low price. This can kill three birds with one stone."

"Lu Jingyu's words are deeply appreciated by the essence of the spring goods." Li Mi was very impressed by Lu Zhi's economic mind.

But Emperor Li Shi always put forward a "unspoken voice", "Lu Jiu's meaning is that he is dissatisfied with the two tax laws?"

"How dare?" Lu Zhi hurriedly defended, "But when the two taxes were first carried out, the world was in decline, and money was less important, so money was used as the standard for paying taxes. If money was more important than things, if you followed it again, you might lose the foundation of taxes."

When the emperor heard this, he just nodded, and then he said that he would immediately use Qi Kang and Qi Ying as the western Beijing, Sanchuan and the purse, and buy rice according to Lu Zhi's method.

"Your Majesty, I have another request." After solving the problem of the trash method, Li Mi proposed a plan that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Sir, but it's okay."

"It is not a trivial matter to revive the army and restore Helong. Han Taichong said in Xiaoyanying's palace that I was very insightful. In the Tang Dynasty, I was in the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers who conquered Guandong and garrisoned the west of the capital every year, and ate 2.4 million stones of millet. What's worse is that there are so many troops, and it is impossible to supply them by Guanzhong's own production. It must be collected along the grain transportation. Including the money for footwork, each bucket of millet will cost at least 150 cents. This will cost 3.6 million jin of rations alone, which does not include the expenses of the border troops in the northwest. Two-thirds of the income from the two taxes are spent on the supply of the army. The country is in trouble. In order to change the situation, I asked me to restore the government troops in the northwest and west roads of Shannan."

"Sir, do it according to Gao Yue's method in Bailicheng in the past?"

"Yes, in the northwest, there were few people in Shuofang, so they simply distributed the plowing fields to the border troops and Shence border towns to recruit garrison soldiers to cultivate them. The Duzhi Department loaned them to plow oxen, farm tools and seeds, and it would not be too late to repay them after the millet and wheat matured in the next year. The income from the field was unified and bought by the Duzhi Department. According to Lu Jingyu, according to the market price, there were very few households in the border areas, and there was no place to sell the millet of the garrison soldiers in the field and could only be sold at a low price to the Duzhi Department. Therefore, even if the price was increased, it would be much cheaper than buying from Guanzhong or other places. In addition, the anti-autumn soldiers drawn from Guandong can also be granted to them for a period of three years.

, after three years of defense, the enemy's field will become rich, and will not be willing to return. In this way, the court can send their families a long letter to send talismans to serve food along the way, and reunite with the anti-Autumn Army. Then, some of the enemy's fields can be changed into Yongye fields and granted them to the garrison soldiers. In this way, they can transform the military into farmers, and they can transform them into soldiers at any time, which can enrich the population of the border and increase the military. In the words of the minister, the garrison soldiers can not be reduced, the garrison soldiers can not disturb the people, but also have enough food, the government's troops can be greatly improved, and the power of Guandongfang Town can be reduced (their soldiers will be transformed into border soldiers of our court after three years)!"

"What the gentleman said is so he did it according to Gao Yue's model in Bailicheng, so that there is no hope for the world. However, plowing oxen, farm tools, and seeds also cost a lot of money, this..."

"I have a plan to solve these three problems at the same time." Li Mi was obviously confident.

The emperor was overjoyed and said that his teacher’s strategy could be written on the secret commentary and read it carefully.

"Your Majesty, you should build a city sooner or later than later. In addition, during this period, you can appoint ministers as envoys to the French, which is called friendship with Xifan. In fact, you can spy on the internal affairs of Xifan in order to know yourself and your enemy. My memory has more strategy, and you can trap Xifan without fighting."

"What strategy?" The emperor was impatient.

But Li Mi seemed to be worried about something suddenly, so he refused to say that it would not be too late to discuss the wheat in the northwest Yingtian once ripened.

Just as the emperor and Li Mi were talking in Penglai Hall, Gao Yue stood there sneakily at the corner at the junction of the southern wall of the Daming Palace and the inner garden, and Jie Shanji's cousin Jie Renji was also having a close conversation.

This Jie Renji and his other two brothers have been foreign officials in Taiwan for so many years. When Gao Yue passed the Ministry of Personnel exam, he spent money to bribe his three brothers. Over the years, the ministers fell down and died, and even the emperor was moved once, but the three of them were still as stable as Mount Tai, and they remained unmoved. The consciousness and skills of survival were both strong.

The foreign officials of the Tang Dynasty, who were misplaced as officials, were the officials mentioned in later generations.

Those who were born in Jinshi like Gao Yue not only became officials, but also the "Qingzi route" of Liuli. However, Gao Yue himself did not particularly like the Qingzi route, so the main part of his career was to be trained in the shogunate or local areas. Otherwise, with his promotion speed, he would have long been like Gao Guan of the Prime Minister's Office, at least he would have been the master of the Central Secretariat for the master's wife.
