Chapter 488: The first killer(1/2)

Li Shimin opened the secret memo and looked closely, but frowned and confused.

Immediately, he continued to stare at the secret song and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Li Shimin still kept his eyebrows locked and said nothing.

Finally, he sighed, walked to the palace lantern, took off the cover, and placed the secret music on the candlelight. The candlelight then burned the secret music. After the secret music caught fire, he threw the remaining secret music to the charcoal basin on the side.

Li Shimin turned around, looked at Zhang Qian who was standing carefully, and said, "Let me find some time to tell Chen Zhengtai, and just say... I'm sure what he's reported."

Zhang Qian was also confused, but he didn't dare to ask too much. In this world, only His Majesty knew the content of the secret report, and I am afraid that only God knows what was accurate.

Zhang Qian had nodded: "I obey the order."

Li Shimin then smiled: "This guy... is so bold and dare to make such a request. But... it's quite interesting. I should solve this big problem. I can't keep it... Yes, Zhang Qian, in a few days, order the Tiance army to change defenses in the palace and let them come to the inner city, and stay near the Tai Chi Palace and stay in the palace overnight to prevent accidents."

When Zhang Qian heard this, his hair suddenly stood up.

This sudden order will definitely cause speculation from all over the world.

And... Obviously, Your Majesty was doing it on purpose, intending to do something earth-shaking, otherwise... how could he suddenly take this action?

Li Shimin pondered: "Tomorrow, please call Li Jing into the palace and add Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin."

"Here."

Li Shimin said: "At noon, I met Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui..."

When he talked about Du Ruhui... he was quite hesitant, and finally shook his head and said, "Let Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji come, just say... I will give them lunch."

Zhang Qian was already shocked.

All the people who were called were Li Shimin's confidants.

Moreover... even if you are a confidant, there are differences. For example, Du Ruhui, who is logically trusted by His Majesty, is still excluded.

As for many old people from the Qin Palace at that time, they were not qualified to be invited. In addition to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, there were also Li Jing. This is strange. Li Jing did not do much effort in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which made people once suspected that he had colluded with Li Jiancheng. But the one who His Majesty trusted the most was him...

But these personnel and affairs dispatches naturally have reasons for Li Shimin. Zhang Qian definitely dared not say much about this.

Li Shimin then smiled and said, "Actually... you don't have to be too nervous... I'm just guarding against it before it happens, don't be suspicious."

Zhang Qian thought to himself, how dare I not think about it? This movement... is even more terrifying than the furious dragon face of His Majesty running to the palace.

Judging from this, it must be related to Chen Zhengtai's secret memorial, but Zhang Qian couldn't even think of what was written in the secret memorial.

However, Zhang Qian has his own way of survival. Since he can't think of it, he simply thinks nothing and watches it obediently!

It is safe to learn Chen Zhengtai’s experience well.

…………

On this day, Chen Zhengtai got up surprisingly early and arrived at the Tiance Army camp. The Tiance Army was ordered to change defenses. They were all wearing new armors and were full of fighting spirit. Even if they became the Tiance Army, they still practiced day and night.

This is rare in other military forces.

In fact, the army of this era is very casual.

Because we cannot monitor every soldier, and dereliction of duty by officers is also a common problem, so... many soldiers in the army may go home on weekdays and do not appear until they are practiced. And because everyone is not well-supplied on weekdays, they are always loose. Even some strict generals have to show their compassion to the soldiers, and everyone is just thinking.

Physical work is the biggest enemy of this era. Without sufficient nutrition, you cannot be physically energetic. This physical strength is closely related to protein. To put it bluntly, you have to use meat to raise soldiers.

And meat is the most waste of food... In this era of insufficient food, eating meat is a luxury.

The court could not open up and let the soldiers eat and drink. If they practice under insufficient physical strength, they will not only not improve their combat effectiveness, but will greatly damage their combat effectiveness.

On the one hand, the soldiers are exhausted but undergo harsh exercises, and they will inevitably experience a large number of fainting or even sudden death, and may even suffer from disability. On the other hand, the soldiers will also complain in this situation, and a large number of complaints will easily arise in the army.

This is obviously not the case in the Tiance Army. The people here are getting stronger and stronger as they train. Every weak person enters the camp, work and schedule on time every day, practice day and night, and consumes sufficient nutrition. This is simply a perfect fitness journey.

So much so that everyone's eyes are extremely divine and full of fighting spirit. They wear dozens of kilograms of armor, and they don't feel that they have any burden.

Chen Zhengtai issued a military order, and then everyone said no, and then the army set out.

The mighty new army entered Chang'an City directly, lined up neatly, and stationed straight towards Tai Chi Gate.

This sudden change has aroused a lot of suspicion.

The most perfect thing is that now it is the crown prince's reign. The ministers went to ask the crown prince, but the crown prince's eyes were dark and he didn't know. He asked his father to go.

And his father... Of course, there is no place for everyone to ask. After all, Your Majesty is recuperating now. In the harem, which minister dared to break in there without fear of death?

So... a group of ministers were played with by the father and son for a long time, but they had no idea.

...

Of course, people in Chang'an City are all focused on making money. The most eye-catching thing is that the fourth batch of freight of the fine bottles has arrived.

After countless people lined up, they discovered something terrible.

This time there are a lot of goods, very abundant.

At least more than twice as many as the third batch.

Of course... more and more people are asking for purchases now. Many people have already tasted the sweetness. The seven-ton coins have become nearly twenty-ton coins. Yes, the current market price is already vaguely showing signs of breaking twenty-ton coins.

Nowadays, not only are people watching the new goods, but also the market for the old goods is also very lively. Many stores that specialize in purchasing fine porcelain have already opened, and the purchase price is often lower than the market price. For example, today's experts are mostly around 19 guan, 700 guan, and the store only 19 guan. If you are not waiting for money, you will often refuse to come to the store and would rather find other buyers.

This is the sweetness. Some people bought second-hand goods at the beginning of the 14th and 5th century, but the essence porcelain actually rose to nearly 20 cents. In one month, they made a big profit.

Is there any better money in the world than this?

Human greed is endless.

At first, some people must have thought this was a bit abnormal, but seeing that everyone around them had made money, they naturally couldn't sit still and started to think about it.

Not only ordinary wealthy families, but also those aristocratic families, are becoming more and more anxious.

Some people want a tiger bottle and think about it day and night.

It also requires people to feel that the IOU in their hands is always kept. Isn’t this waiting for depreciation?

With the excavation of copper mines, in the era of gold and copper as reserves, the Chen family sent out more and more IOUs. With so many IOUs circulating in the world, inflation is normal.

Today's 100 stakes may become 96 or stakes in a year.

This kind of expansion may not be conscious of ordinary people. After all, they cannot save money all year round.

But for the aristocratic races with huge amounts of wealth, this is unacceptable. It is true that in another twelve or twenty years, the wealth they have accumulated for hundreds of years will shrink by more than half.

Now this fine porcelain... is almost always rising. In a sense, this thing is simply a powerful tool to resist inflation. Buy more... and store it at home. The longer it is stored, the higher the value it is. This is simply a huge deal.

Even... this is more pleasant than lending. If you don’t pay it back, don’t you worry about people not paying it back?

For a moment, Chang'an City was crowded with people.

Although there are many goods, it still has not resisted people's enthusiasm.

...

By the time of the sixth batch...the fine porcelain was still delivered in large quantities. At this time, many people had already started to mutter, didn’t they say that the fine porcelain was difficult to make? Why do you think...the output seemed to be getting higher and higher?

The sixth batch has more than 6,000 pieces, almost one batch is more than another, and the output seems to be increasing exponentially.

When the sixth batch of goods was on sale, Wu Yu in the study had already begun to feel a little anxious. In fact, she was actually a little panicked.

There were too many goods in this batch. She originally hoped to maintain the goods at around 4,000 pieces and 6,700 pieces. In her opinion, it was a bit too risky. If she was not careful, it might cause the entire price to collapse.

So she has been waiting anxiously in her study for news.

However, Chen Zhengtai seemed very relaxed. He looked happy and even went on a horse with Li Chengqian excitedly, and then came back sweating profusely.

When Wu Xi saw him, he hurriedly came up, but frowned and said, "Mr.... In the market, there seems to be a vague sign of price unsustainable. Yesterday, it was still priced at 20,070 cents, but now... someone has already sold it for 20,040 cents. In the past, there was no inversion at all. If there was no other way, it might cause a price collapse... The shop that acquired Jingci has now begun to lower the price of some acquisitions, and the acquisition has become cautious. Obviously... more people are selling."

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Zhengtai shook his head calmly, and then said confidently: "You are only focusing on the supply and demand relationship, but you don't know how to maintain prices, and there is one more thing."

Wu Qi looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously and thought to himself, this was what you taught me back then.

Chen Zhengtai said, "Do you know why I use fine porcelain for financial management?"

Wu Xi felt that her brain was not enough at this time. Her brain had some signs of system reinstallation. She couldn't help but look at Chen Zhengtai and said, "I still want to ask for advice."

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "You have always overlooked a very important factor. Our fine porcelain has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, its uniqueness. Other places cannot make such fine porcelain. In addition, its output is completely controlled by our Chen family. In other words, it is the most easily controlled. Of course... there is another reason, that is, this policy is also in my hands. When your supply and demand relationship cannot be controlled, my invisible policy hand should let them taste what it means, and it is valuable."

Wu Xi was stunned for a moment: "The invisible hand of policy?"

She was a little confused. This word was so fresh!

Chen Zhengtai sat down, took a sip of tea, and then shouted: "Chen Fu, where has Chen Fu died?"

Outside, Chen Fu poked his head and said, "Here."

Chen Zhengtai said: "Has Xuancheng arrived? Didn't he say he was here today?"

Chen Fu immediately said, "Mr. Wei has arrived a long time ago and is waiting in the lobby."

Chen Zhengtai was furious: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chen Fu said aggrievedly: "Your Highness has not said that you cannot communicate in depth..."

Chen Zhengtai interrupted him impatiently and said, "Call someone to me immediately."

Not long after, Wei Zheng had a book under his armpit. Under Chen Fu's guidance, Xu Bu came to the study.

After entering the study, he first met Chen Zhengtai, and then he glanced at Wu Qi. Wu Qi sat upright in front of him, looking extremely well-behaved. Wei Zheng nodded silently at her, and Wu Qi returned to her with a toothless smile.
