Chen Zhengtai's topic has changed a little quickly, but Li Chengqian doesn't feel that it's inappropriate.

When Li Chengqian heard Chen Zhengtai ask about this, he couldn't help but say: "Yes, my father issued several decrees for this, and he did not do so. He even set up five officials in the East and West cities. He divided Chang'an into the East and West cities, and set up orders. Each city had chiefs, and all the chiefs were also the municipalities. He also said that he would have five trading chiefs and one Qianfu Chief. It was to stabilize prices."

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.

Damn...

Both the East and West City have dispatched officials, but I don’t know yet?

Isn’t this method the restructuring of Wang Mang during the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Use the official government to stabilize prices and supervise merchants' transactions.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui... actually played like this?

But when you think about it carefully, it is not very strange that they do this.

If you say that these two people are not of level, it must be fake. After all, they are famous figures in history.

But their talents come from two aspects. On the one hand, they learn from the experience of their predecessors. However, the predecessors had no concept of inflation at all. Even if there were some precedents of soaring prices, the means of our ancestors to stabilize prices were extremely rough. The effect... God knows.

On the other hand, it comes from their own experience.

In the past, the world was a stagnant pool, and there was no large-scale commercial trade. In this era of grain-based, there was no financial knowledge.

You asked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to provide disaster relief. They were in good condition. They asked them to manage litigation. They also had a brush to persuade farmers. They had a lot of experience, but if you asked them to solve the mess at the moment, what else could they do?

Chen Zhengtai looked sad, then glanced at Li Chengqian: "What's the result?"

Li Chengqian said happily: "Fang Xiang and Du Xiang are quite talented, and the prices... at least they have been barely calmed down... Well, this month, the price of cloth has only increased by three copper coins, which is better than before..."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Is this better than nothing?

"What about mentors?"

"Father?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but say, "Father is naturally not satisfied enough. He repeatedly urged him to come up with a more feasible solution."

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "So junior brother thinks, does this approach work?"

"How could I know?" Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But looking... it's still... hasn't this price stabilized?"

Chen Zhengtai continued to smile: "I think my junior brother should give a memorial, just say this method...it will definitely not work."

"Why?" Li Chengqian looked at Chen Zhengtai in shock.

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "No, if it doesn't work, it won't work. My junior brother believes in me or not, I'm for your own good."

This is a bit credible, but looking at Chen Zhengtai’s serious expression, Li Chengqian felt that Chen Zhengtai had never cheated him!

Li Chengqian hesitated and couldn't help but say, "If you submit a memorial, wouldn't you be enemies with Fang Xiang and Du Xiang?"

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that it is not good to fight Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui!

"No." Chen Zhengtai shook his head and said with a certain expression: "Fang Xiang and Du Xiang must have fallen apart this time. The junior brother wrote a letter to reduce the losses in this regard. This is doing a good thing. Under the current circumstances, I guess the market will be even more panicked. By that time... it will really be bloody."

"So serious?" Li Chengqian was surprised at what Chen Zhengtai said so exaggeratedly, but he was half-believing and half-doubting.

He actually believed in Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's abilities very much, and felt that this should not be the case!

Now the three provinces and six ministries of the court have been mobilized. Everyone has spent a lot of effort on this matter and can always make a point of action!

"Or why should we write a letter together? Anyway, my teacher seems to have an objection to me recently. We write a letter for the livelihood of the people. If my teacher meets me, I will definitely change my impression of me."

As Chen Zhengtai said, he took a memorial from his sleeve and patted it on the table, saying proudly: "Come on, I've written the memorial, you can sign your name."

Is this waiting for him long ago?

Li Chengqian was stunned: "..."

A memorial was sent to the door and the province first.

Then he reached Du Ruhui's hand. Du Ruhui opened the memorial and saw that his face became solemn.

Immediately, he picked up his pen, wrote down his suggestions in the memorial, and then asked the Yintai to send him into the palace.

Soon, Li Shimin summoned ministers from three provinces and six ministries to the Taiji Hall to meet.

Before we arrived, everyone received the news!

Fang Xuanling never expected that he would be impeached by the prince.

You said that your prince is idle all day long. This national affairs have always been presided over by me and Du Ruhui. Why are you impeaching me when you are full and you are full?

Of course... there is another culprit here, because of the impeachment person, Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin held his face and looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and naturally Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and others.

He raised his memorial and said, "You are all the time, prices have risen continuously, and the people have complained. I have issued several decrees to order you to calm down prices. What's going on now?"

Fang Xuanling coughed without saying a word. He knew very well that this was the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and that he should be a little arrogant when he was doing the Central Secretariat.

Dai Zhou then stepped forward and said, "Since His Majesty's urging, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has set up a mayor in the East and West City, and has arranged five trading ministers to supervise the transactions of merchants to prevent merchants from raising prices. Now, the results have been achieved. Although the prices in the East and West City occasionally fluctuate, they have no impact on people's livelihood."

Li Shimin frowned: "Is that true? But why did the prince and Chen Qing family think that such an approach would definitely cause a bigger surge in prices and would not eradicate the price increase at all. Could it be... they were wrong?"

"This..." Dai Zhou was very annoyed.

Who is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Is this the matter of the prince and the public administration of Chen County? Is it better to know that I have been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for so many years and have mastered the country's economic lifeline?

Dai Zhou said seriously: "Your Majesty, the prince and the Duke of Chen County are young and energetic. It is understandable that they make some comments. But the situation I have learned these days is indeed the case. The mayor and the transaction chief under the Ministry of Civil Affairs have sent detailed prices, and it is impossible to misreport."

Li Shimin's face then calmed down a little, and he said lightly: "In this way, are these two guys making trouble?"

Dai Zhou said in his heart that he was just a mess, but he said with a smile: "I don't dare to say that."

Li Shimin still felt a little worried, so he looked at Fang Xuanling: "What do Fang Qing's family think?"

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the prices sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and ordered the people from the Secretariat to go to the East and West cities to check, but there was no false report. Therefore, I think that the current measures have stopped the prices. As for the words of the Crown Prince and Duke Chen, it is certainly an alarmist statement, but they think it is because they are concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood. This is not a bad thing."

Fang Xuanling's analysis was very reasonable, and Li Shimin finally felt confident.

He couldn't help but feel angry, and he said with a tense face: "If you pay attention, I have nothing to say, but how can I treat such a big thing as a joke? If I haven't found out clearly, I will make people panic? Isn't it because of many things that I have been troubled by. Who knows that the prince has made me so uneasy?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel worried. The reason why the prince was the crown prince was because he was the crown prince of the country. The crown prince of the country did not find out the facts, but made a big statement here. What an impact would it have?

What's more, his memorial was equivalent to directly denying Fang Xuanling, Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and others' efforts to stabilize prices these days. Isn't this a humble minister who has buryed me in front of the whole world?

What will the people in the world think of the prince?

Fang Xuanling and others were furious when they saw Long Yan, and they all dared not show off.

Originally, Fang Xuanling sat aside and drank tea.

The rules of the Tang Dynasty were not like those of later generations. When the prime minister met with him, he did not need to kneel down and just gave a tribute. The emperor would set up a tea case here, and let someone pour tea, while sitting and drinking tea, while discussing national affairs with the emperor.

But now, Fang Xuanling stood up: "Your Majesty calms down, Your Highness the Crown Prince is still young after all... I suggest that in order to prevent disputes, it is better to let the Ministry of Civil Affairs verify the price situation again, how about it?"

Li Shimin said with a cold face: "No need, come here, come and find two guys Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai. I will deal with them today."

Fang Xuanling and others immediately said, "Your Majesty...No..."

Li Shimin seemed to be determined.

After hearing this, Zhang Qian, who was standing by, hurriedly ordered someone to invite the prince and Chen Zhengtai.

In fact... everyone in this palace understood that His Majesty did this not because he really wanted to deal with the prince and Chen Zhengtai.

Instead, they submitted this memorial and directly denied that the so-called "destruction" of the court led by Fang Xuanling was deliberately for Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou to avoid the coldness of the officials in the court because of the remarks of the prince and Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin looked furious and took advantage of the invitation of the prince and Chen Zhengtai, but continued to ask Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou for specific measures to stabilize prices.

Speaking of this, Dai Zhou was flirting and talking: "Your Majesty, what you have to do first is to crack down on those lures of goods. Therefore... the original intention of the mayor and the trading chief is to supervise the transactions of merchants. Start by pursuing the profiteers, and first find a few profiteers to kill chickens and scare monkeys, then... the law can be carried out. In addition... the court also sold some cloth at a fair price... The trading chief is responsible for investigating the violations of the market..."

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and couldn't help looking at Dai Zhou with relief: "These measures of your family are actually a national plan."

…………

Let me remind you again that during the Zhenguan period, it was indeed the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After Li Shimin died, Li Zhi succeeded to the throne. In order to avoid Li Shimin's name, he changed it to the Minister of Revenue. Don't scold me. Laohu also thought that the Minister of Revenue was easy to talk, but there was nothing he could do. In history, it was the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In addition, I would like to ask for monthly tickets and subscribe.
