Chapter 301: Yuan is not an object in the pool (three)

Politics is not something that Li Ming, a child, can play a clever game alone in the distant West.

In winter, Qinghai is full of ice and snow. Looking around, it is a vast area, dazzling white. In this harsh weather, a huge army slowly forces Chiling.

The news of the Tang Dynasty was not known, and it was probably still possible to hear the news, just like the major incident in Tubo. Even if there were no large number of scouts, the Tang Dynasty could also know it. When Lun Qinling heard the situation of the Tang Dynasty, he called his younger brother Lun Zanpo and said a few things in a focused manner. Lun Zanpo's eyes lit up and said, "Brother, are you talking about...?"

"Yes." I knew my brother understood.

Lun Zan Po asked in confusion: "Who released this wind?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it was Li Jingxuan who released it. I heard that he was incompatible with Liu Rengui, so I deliberately released this rumor and ridiculed Liu Rengui. Maybe it was someone else who wanted to send the prince of the Tang Dynasty to Qinghai."

The Han people were very thoughtful, and Lun Zanpo knew about it. He nodded and said, "This is a good opportunity."

The Gar family was incredible, but many ministers loyal to the Zanpu faction opposed it, and even some people were talking. Because of the instigation of the Tang Dynasty and the accumulated contradictions, many tribes were ready to move. This made several Lun brothers a headache. After a few years, Tuyuhun gradually controlled it. This control did not refer to the people, but controlled the royal family and the nobles. So Lun Qinling decided to fight another battle with the Tang Dynasty. Using the war to resolve this contradiction, if the victory was again, the Gar family would rise to a higher level. In the face of absolute strength, all the opposition would only become pale.

After the brothers formulated this strategy, they prepared for war in China and sent troops to harass the Tang Dynasty's borders. In fact, they did not get any benefits. After all, once the army was released, Tubo also had to pay. The gains could not be compensated by capturing the slightest income. This was a deliberate insult to the arrogant Tang Dynasty, dispatching a large army to debate Qinghai!

But he didn't expect that Liu Rengui and Li Jinxing would attract, and he didn't expect that the two famous generals were just defensive. Although he mobilized a lot of troops in Qinghai, Lu Qinling was also hesitant.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Liu Rengui also followed the order, and the army had to collect training preparations. With the tens of thousands of people in Shanzhou, it was not Qinling, and Liu Rengui would not go to war blindly. Li Jingxuan was picky, which was a personal contradiction and had nothing to do with the overall national policy of the Tang Dynasty.

Lunzan Po asked again: "But second brother, what are you going to do?"

"Let's cooperate with this person, first hurt the people of the Tang Dynasty and give Li Jingxuan a lesson."

"This plan is very wonderful."

After discussion, Lun Qinling personally led his troops to attack Hehuang. Although he was good at using troops, it was not easy to make a living under Liu Rengui and Li Jinxing. Without directly attacking the city, the Tang people were good at defending the city, but the field battle was the best of Tubo. They faced these two brave generals. Lun Qinling would never abandon his strengths and use his weaknesses. Therefore, they divided the soldiers into several teams, and the brigades were taken care of by the troops behind them, entering the prefectures and counties such as Shanguohe, and only killed the people in the suburbs. The Tang Dynasty army came and evacuated immediately. There were also battles, and there were wins and losses to each other. Basically, they left in one battle, and did not fight protracted wars.

Liu Rengui was prime minister for several years and had a much better temper, but he was so angry that he screamed. But there was no way, there were few army, maybe the Tubo army was small, but there were Tuyuhun people who were close to Tubo behind the Tubo army. These people worked as herds in their spare time and soldiers in war. One gathered, and one army came out. They had the flaws of sea platoons, and the cold winter in Qinghai was not the leader of their own side. Therefore, after chasing, they saw that the Tubo army was not far away, and immediately withdrew.

In the end, there was no way to harassment. The herdsmen and farmers on the front line moved to the city or resettled them in the rear.

In this way, nearly a thousand ordinary people were killed. The scale of the battle between the two sides was not large, and the casualties were not large. When the twelfth lunar month came, Lun Qinling had no choice but to withdraw.

Liu Rengui didn't understand. Although nearly a thousand ordinary people died, it was not easy to dispatch a large army, especially in this cold weather. Even Tubo people would probably freeze hundreds of soldiers to death when they came to Hehuang. The consumption of materials and weapons, etc., would not be worth the loss.

This grinding process was not until half a year later...

...

But the people didn't think so. Although Xue Rengui was defeated, the prince won? Therefore, the Tubo in my impression was still the original Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty's army was still the original Tang Dynasty's army, and it would not count the amount of Tubo's arrival in the snow this time was not worth the cost. They also calculated how many materials and soldiers the imperial court used for the northwest.

Therefore, everyone thinks that Liu Rengui performs poorly.

But nothing that followed attracted the attention of the people.

Li Wei moved towards Luoyang step by step, and Li Zhi was furious. It cannot be said that the money belonged to his son, but it was built for his son. Strictly speaking, it was the money from the court. How much is the loss of this suspension of work in a day? How much is the loss of materials when transporting them back and forth? The key is that his son is crazy, and the people don’t know, thinking that he is abused his son again.

A second group of guards was sent to urge him to return quickly.

Li Wei went to Luoyang in front, and Li Zhi and several prime ministers gathered in the Political Affairs Hall. He called Li Wei over and asked him clearly in front of several prime ministers.

Before Li Wei could salute, Li Zhi shouted loudly: "I will leave the two channels to you. Do you think it is a joke. If you want to repair it, repair it, and stop it!"

My father lost his temper and, as expected, said slowly: "Father, I am helpless to stop work. Here is a letter, let's take a look."

He handed Liang Jinzhu's letter to Li Zhi, but he was just a businessman, and no one paid attention to it unless Liang Jinzhu gave 10,000 yuan to the court every day. Li Zhi had never heard of Yangzhou, and most of the prime ministers had never heard of it. After reading it, Li Zhi became even more angry and shouted: "Did you actually stop the two channels in order to protect the two merchants?"

Several prime ministers took the letter and saw that it was the aftermath caused by the two kings' struggle for the legitimate battle, but they also looked at Li Wei suspiciously. This matter is easier to solve, and the suspension of work on both channels is too much fun.

Li Wei said calmly: "Father, if he is a businessman, even if he is a relative of Erchen, he will not stop the two canals for his life and death. But the father, the two canals are here, and Erchen went to Danshui to conduct a careful investigation. The cost is getting bigger every year. It is possible that the two canals will be completed and will require 10 million yuan in money. If the treasury has finance, Erchen will not take the controversy and think about some bad means to raise money. However, the treasury finance is not enough. Although there has been a surplus in recent years, we still have to prepare for a battle with Tubo. For this reason, the second sea ban was released."

Someone already understood that Xue Yuanchao's face turned pale, and the prince's move was too ruthless.

"Liang Jinzhu is a lowly businessman, but his tribute taxes and charity donations account for eight out of ten of their industrial income. For this reason, many merchants hated him, so Erchen deliberately wrote a letter to them, for fear that other merchants would harm him. Later, the father praised him and rewarded him with official positions in the court. Such people would be arrested as soon as they were caught! Or bribed, but Erchen didn't understand why other merchants could unload their goods when they entered the port, and the goods of Liang and Lu were detained for so long? In this case, as a weak merchant, is there any other way out without bribery? Or sue the official, how many people have dared to sue the official since ancient times? Besides, in taking in fugitives, father and Erchen have a list of the families who store fugitives and the number of fugitives in Jingzhao. It should be said that the actual number will only be more, not less."

As he said that, he took out a list from his sleeve and said, "Father, should you send relevant officials to arrest them one by one?"

Li Zhi didn't even see it. He knew that all the major families, some officials, or the children of the royal family, including the Du family of Jingzhao, Li Ming turned it out, either big or small, and once it caused controversy, it could be turned upside down.

Not only is it about storing fugitives, hiding people and fields, and annexing land, these three are gray areas on the surface, but there are two more. Human trafficking and usury cannot be exposed, and the entire country will be guaranteed once it is exposed.

He didn't go and saw it, and said, "Then come back and report it to you and send a subordinate to the command to release him. Why stop work!"

Extremely unhappy.

Opening this matter is to prove that Li Ming's arrest was unreasonable. Li Wei then said: "That's right, in fact, the son-in-law doesn't care whether to let go or not. Even if he is released, the son-in-law can also imagine that Liang Jinzhu will be tortured to death, or the property is not investigated, and he may be greedy. This son-in-law still doesn't care. The son-in-law did this when he suddenly thought of something. Liang Jinzhu can be said to be the leader among merchants, and he can arrest and torture on false charges and find out his property. How many merchants dare to go to sea? Without the merchants going to sea, the quota for fundraising that the son-in-law presided over has become a bubble again. Since he has attacked Liang Jinzhu today, what about tomorrow

?Even if you go to sea, you will be hesitant. The sea city shrinks, and even the tax on salt and sugar will be turned into greed by these officials. Without the money raised from the quota and the income from the sea city, what can I use to build the two channels? Dear friends, can you allocate a thousand yuan to build the two channels for me? Not only that, I also owed more than one million yuan to the wealthy families in Jiangnan. If I have no income, I will not pay it back. Therefore, after thinking about it, I had to stop the two channels. There are still some remaining funds. Before the sea city was ruined, I could collect some taxes a year, which was just used to pay off the debt. As for the two channels, I had to stop the work."

"You...!" This is simply a cunning judgment, Li Zhi was so angry that he turned pale.

My heart was very bright. This was the product of the two kings in the court's struggle. However, my son insisted on making a big deal. It might be very serious, and it would even seriously affect the quota for this year's quota to be raised. One actively competed and the other retreated. This fluctuation might reach millions of dollars. He held back his anger and asked, "What do you think you should do?"

"Father, let the sons and ministers investigate this case and give them the confidence of these merchants who actively raise funds."

When Xue Yuanchao heard this, he immediately said, "Your Highness, you can't do it. You are just a businessman. The court can solve the problem by making a book. If your Highness comes forward, the people of the world will have a lot of discussion. Besides, it's just a businessman, the governor of Suzhou is His Highness King Cao, and a disciple of the royal family."

"Mr. Xue, you said it very lightly! Haishi is just the beginning. Although it was an emergency measure that the orphan was forced by the finances. But it was the beginning. Once it flourished, it could bring two or three hundred yuan in taxes to the court in a year. If you don't believe it, you will wait and see. This income will not have to wait for many years. This is taxation. A large amount of exported goods to foreign countries, the industries of the court, and the taxes of various tax workshops will make profits for the people. This can bring more benefits to the court. That is, five or six million yuan a year. But as soon as this wind opens, it will shrink after a few years. Is it a small matter to have a profit of five or six million yuan a year? I don't know, how do you, the prime minister?"

You're welcome, even the prime minister has to take care of him!

"Rareless!" Li Zhi shouted angrily again.

The position of the minister is not as high as the truth. If he is a third-rank subordinate of the sixth rank, he is still a sixth-rank official. But the power is actually slightly higher than the truth. The Secretary of the Central Committee can only be in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat, the Shizhong can only be in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat, and the left and right servants can only be in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat. The most honorable thing is that the chiefs of the three provincial governors led the three provincial governors, and the real officials of the Secretariat, but when they reach the peak, they will have more concerns. Even if the six ministers led the three ministers and the three ministers, they will have more concerns, otherwise they will be not far from the time of demotion.

Although Li Wei is the crown prince, it is wrong to question the prime minister like this.

Li Wei's exaggeration again was not unreasonable. Although it was caused by the dispute between the Two Kings, once this example was opened, not only Haishi, Fanshi, Guanshi and Salt and Iron Envoys' income would inevitably decrease, and it is difficult to say that the shrinkage would be greater, but there would be more greed for me.

Therefore, when Pei Yan returned to the court and selected officials by the Ministry of Personnel, he also carefully considered it. It should be said that except for Tianshui's lack of talent, he was honest in his official position, just to prevent greed. He did not expect that he would make this mistake shortly after he continued. However, the Yongwang Party was not good at accusing Pei Xingjian, the selector of Quan. If he bite, he would be even more ugly.

Li Wei kept silent.

Anyway, the request was made, and I agreed to start the construction, but I did not agree to break up.

But most people understand that the prince asked for a price everywhere, waiting for His Majesty to pay back the money. Zhang Wenguan coughed and said, "Your Highness, you have lost your moral integrity when you go in person. It is better to ask Di Renjie to go to Yangzhou to investigate the case according to my opinion. How about it?"

You can't stand stalemate, fight a smooth situation.

"Zhang Xianggong, that's fine, but for the future of the court, we must investigate this case strictly."

Zhang Wenguan smiled bitterly. This matter is too small. Even the two channels have stopped working, and at least dozens of officials will be destroyed.

Li Zhi was still angry, but he didn't say anything, which was a pity. Of course, Xue Yuanchao was frightened and felt so angry that he immediately went out to write a letter to notify this brother-in-law who was not true or false.

Seeing Li Jingxuan writing a book, Li Zhi was so angry that he waved his sleeves and left. Li Wei immediately chased after him, then pulled Li Zhi's sleeves and said, "Father, wait."

"You haven't had enough trouble yet?"

"Father, I haven't said anything yet. It's okay to fight, but in fact, whether to fight or not, I never ask whether he is the crown prince or the future crown prince is not the final word of the minister. No matter how much he fights, it's still a word from the father and the mother. So I once ran to Danshui to avoid it."

Li Zhi didn't say anything and didn't believe it. He said in his heart, I want to ruin you and let me rest for a few years, but the minister agrees or not?

"But you can't miss the state affairs. Kaizhe's territory is far away, so I only talk about Haishi. Haishi is small now and may not cherish it. In a few years, the father can see how important it is to the country. If you don't talk about it in the future, it will affect the fundraising now. Without sufficient finance, how can the two channels be used? And calculate the cost. It is possible that the completion of the Danshui Canal will be postponed for a year or two years because of the funds." Speaking of this, he suddenly attached himself to Li Zhi's ear and said: "In fact, if there is no such thing, we must stop. The father of Danshui Canal did not go to see it. It was muddy everywhere and the people were living a hard life. The minister repeatedly advised him that the people refused to leave for the dozens of cents a day. Many civilians fell down and kept not going."

Li Zhi almost fainted and asked, "Why didn't you say it clearly just now?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes and thought to himself, I just said clearly, would you agree to let Di Ren investigate the case strictly?

Li Zhi also reacted to this period, and his eyes were even more angry and wanted to eat people. But after a while, he thought of another thing. Although this evil son was a fool, he would do some unconventional things every year, but he did not make trouble with state affairs. After figuring it out, he gradually disappeared. He suddenly laughed a few times, ignored Li Wei and left straight.
