Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 263 Calling Qin Hao Back to Beijing

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Hall.

With his hands behind his back, Li Shimin came out of the apse with a calm demeanor, casually threw a note at the prime ministers waiting here and said, "Let's have a discussion, what are you going to do about this matter."

This memorial came from Zhongshu Province, and there is no confidential channel. These prime ministers don’t need to look at it, they all know that something big happened in the south, and they all lower their heads and no one is willing to speak first, lest they say the wrong thing and offend the Holy Majesty unhappy.

4000 people were killed as soon as they said they wanted to. King Hejian really has a sword that never grows old. This kind of courage is really not comparable to that of ordinary people. It's just that it's easy to kill people but difficult to deal with the aftermath. How to deal with Li Xiaogong has become the number one headache for them.

What is said about Li Zitong's remnants is pure nonsense, maybe even the village women can't be fooled, but can they be dealt with fairly?Even Wei Zheng didn't dare to say this. Li Xiaogong is not only the prince of the clan, but also the former general of the army. Everyone has seen him eating, drinking and having fun behind closed doors in the past few years. Poke a hole in the sky.

What's more, this matter is related to the reform and transformation of the Qing Gang. In order to compensate for the loss of the people, Qin Hao called on the head of the Qing Gang to dissipate their wealth. They all saw it. This is the time when their belts are tightest. They are not too harsh.

In addition, Li Shimin's favorite son, Li Tai, is also involved in it, and if it affects the whole body, who dares to say anything, Sacred Heart can be arbitrary, you don't need to ask such a question.

In fact, in everyone's minds, there is more or less an account. If 4000 people die, Yantian can be smoothly circled. In everyone's mind, it is worthwhile. Most of the time, you have to do the same, but you can't talk nonsense, otherwise if it is recorded in the history books, you might leave some kind of bad reputation.

They can't say it, and Li Shimin can't say it even more. You ministers are afraid of leaving a careless deed of human life in the history books, so I am not afraid?Now that I have become the emperor, I still work so hard every day for something, isn't it just for a little reputation in history.

So for a while, it seemed that everyone was deaf, and the scene was always embarrassing.

Fortunately, all of this had been expected by Li Xiaogong long ago. Just when the big bosses in the room were worried, his booklet came like timely rain. Li Shimin had informed in advance that once there was news about Li Xiaogong, he would send it to him as soon as possible. To Yuqian.

The content of the excerpt is very simple, just an apology.He has now left for Beijing, and at the same time told the truth about the cause and effect of the mob incident, saying that on the day he returned to Beijing, he went straight to Yushitai and let him be punished, which is considered frank.

Everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and praised the Hejian King in their hearts for being sensible.

Now that the righteous master has come out to take the blame, the rest is easy, because Li Xiaogong has resisted most of the guilt, so no one has the intention of holding on to this matter. He raised the board high and put it down gently, just Xu Jie scolded severely and said that he was not good at doing things, and he didn't mean to implicate other people.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the salt field of the Green Gang has been circled now, and the profit from it is hundreds of thousands of pennies a day. Although it is only a few days, it has already bought a large amount of timber and hired workers through salt. Over several million, the Yangzhou Shipyard has also started construction, I believe that the reform of the Green Gang is urgent, please call Qin Hao back to Beijing."

To be honest, Yanyin is simply too scary. In the Tang Dynasty, horseshoe gold was always used as the currency for the purchase and sale of bulk items. The output of gold is really too small, and the daily transactions are all in gold. Copper and silk cloth, so that there is no circulation in the market at all. I don’t know how many businessmen who want to do business suffer from insufficient gold and have to use ship after ship of copper to trade, until Yanyin appeared.

This thing is so convenient, you can exchange it for salt. Is there any currency in the world that is more valuable than salt?So I don't know when, the unhealthy trend of using salt instead of gold became popular among the people.

How could such an artifact be placed in the hands of a non-governmental organization?Although the Green Gang is now semi-official, but the name is not right, Qin Hao's current official status is still nothing.

Especially when he thought of the prince's objection after Du Chuke's proposal, he felt that there was a pitfall in it. This made the court's original idea of ​​bypassing Qin Hao and changing to the leader of the Green Gang come to naught.

Changsun Wuji also said: "I also think that the reform of the Green Gang is urgent, and Qin Hao is called back to Beijing urgently. It's just that there are many things in Yangzhou. If Qin Hao is separated..."

Wei Zheng stood up and said: "There are priorities. The matter of Yangzhou is of course important, but now that Yantian has been delineated, other matters are trivial compared to the matter of Yanyin. Now Du Changshi has rushed back to Yangzhou overnight, and there are His Royal Highness the King of Yue watched it in person, so it should be enough to deal with it."

Although the pen field is not over yet, everyone understands that with Li Xiaogong's killing and Qin Hao's previous tens of millions of real money, there will be no big troubles under the combination of grace and power.

It's just that Li Shimin was very upset. He lost his job with you and sent my son to Yangzhou. It's only been a few days. You came back, but what happened to my son?
He tentatively asked: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs, hasn't the annual output of Lianghuai Salt Fields been calculated yet? No matter how useful Yanyin is, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a proof of delivery. If the Ministry of Civil Affairs issues Yanyin , and then the imperial court will come forward to pay the bills to the Green Gang with timber corvees and other bills as purchases, isn’t that enough? Why let Zhenheng put down such a big matter in Yangzhou and come back.”

Dai Zhou, the newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came up with a bitter face, and said: "Return to the Holy Lord, according to the calculations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the coastal fields can produce about 2000 million shi of salt per year. It's not impossible, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Returning to the Holy One, I don't have a clue in my heart, and in the past few days, the prince has come to me several times to ask me not to be lured by the Ministry of Households. This... If Zhenheng doesn't come back, I will I really don't dare, he made Yan, Yan Yin was also made by him, and his relationship with the prince is well known, although Zhenheng is young, he always makes decisions before acting, if he doesn't When I was called back, I was afraid that there was something in it that my short-sightedness could not see, and I was not afraid that my errands would be punished by the Holy Lord, but I was afraid that if there was a mistake in this important matter of livelihood, the common people would be ruined."

After all, Dai Zhou knelt on the ground and knocked his head on the ground, saying that he didn't get up anymore.

Li Shimin felt that the toothache was a little painful, and finally had to ask: "Did the prince really say that? He still didn't give a reason?"

Dai Zhou's face twitched and said: "The prince said that he was entrusted by an expert to send salt to cause great harm to the state."

What a goddamn master, Tuomeng, this is Qin Hao's rhetoric at first glance, Li Shimin really wants to rub this bastard son into a ball and throw it to the racecourse, can you two be a little more serious?

"Okay, since that's the case, call Qin Hao back."
