Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 425 Deep Political Routine

Qin Hao has always felt that if we talk about which dynasty in the land of China is the easiest to awaken the power of capitalism, it is by no means the so-called Ming when capitalism sprouted, or the Song Dynasty where the merchants were the most prosperous, but the Tang Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty, the improvement of the imperial examination system has brought all the talents in the world to the court, while the poor families in the world have sprung up like mushrooms. No matter how rich the folk businessmen are, they can never accumulate half of their power. The reason for getting lower and lower is that most of them will spend money and buy land after earning a few dollars, build Buddhas and accumulate virtues, and strive to rely on poor families.

More importantly, the handle of the knife is in the hands of the imperial court. No matter how rich the boss is, he is no different from a big fat pig to the imperial court. The richest man in the world, Shen Wansan, just chopped it off.

To put it bluntly, all the power in the world is concentrated in the hands of the central court, so what is the awakening of capital?

The Tang Dynasty was different. Although the imperial examination already existed, at least in the early Tang Dynasty, it was only a supplement to the selection of officials by the bureaucracy. It was not considered the mainstream. , the land of Hebei is powerful everywhere, and this power is at least relatively dispersed.

And the handle of the knife is held in the hands of the whole world. The essence of the government soldiers is actually to arm the peasants. They can be used by the court in wartime. Naturally, they have to follow the capital in normal times.

The battle of Nanzhao must be recorded in the history, the first battle of the sword of capitalism!
However, what Qin Hao cares about now is not about capitalism. From awakening to being usable, it will take decades for the world to brew it. That should be Qin Xiaohao’s concern. What he cares more about now is Xu Jie’s. disposal.

After all, this is a real buddy, who shared weal and woe and climbed out of the disaster victims. No one can ignore him in this life, but what happened to him, there is nothing wrong with him. It is not surprising that he was cut off. It's normal, he won't be helping the brother who is a fart at this time.

So in the past two days, on Xu Jie's way back to Beijing, Qin Hao begged his grandpa to tell his grandma everywhere, and prepared dozens of carts of 'small gifts' to give away, and at the same time, he was in front of Fang Xuanling and his eldest grandson Wuji every day. Dangling in front of you.

No way, everyone in the world doesn't know the relationship between Qin Hao and Xu Jie. It is inevitable that he would be covering up if he went directly to beg Li Shimin. Although this is indeed the case, he still has rules to avoid suspicion.

And Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind, so he must ask his two humerus, but could Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji be able to make up his mind about this kind of matter?At this time, Qin Hao's lobbying will play a decisive role.

In the end, he still had to be his own teacher. Wei Zheng resisted all opinions and resolutely remonstrated: "A general, if you follow the orders of the emperor, since you have achieved success, you will naturally have merit and no fault. Why do you have to be so embarrassing?"

Li Shimin said in displeasure: "So, then Xu Jie has no faults and merits. Doesn't the matter in Nanzhao turn into such a mess, shouldn't someone be held accountable?"

"Of course, my lord, who is it that lures the people with huge profits, and who is it that uses wealth to move people's hearts, and who is it that provoked this war for no reason? This person is not responsible, but the generals who fought at the front line? Where did it come from?" It's so reasonable!"

Li Shimin was stunned, as were all civil and military officials in the court, and after a long time, Li Shimin searched uncertainly: "What does Xuan Cheng mean, that Xu Jie is responsible for this matter, and Zhenheng is responsible for this matter? "

"Exactly, the villain raises troops for no reason. It is not the way of a gentleman. To lure the people for profit is to put the cart before the horse. I invite you to be punished severely!"

All civil and military officials looked at each other, and for a while, no one knew whether to second or oppose, so that the hall was quite quiet.

When Qin Hao heard the news, he couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart, what the hell is my good master.

Qin Xiaohao said unhappily: "Is this Wei Zheng stupid in reading, cooperating with Dad, you helped Datang expand its territory, curb the slave trade, increase economic income, and it turned out to be a crime? Even if he doesn't take care of him, at least he shouldn't come This is an act of righteousness and extermination!"

Before Qin Xiaohao finished complaining, Qin Hao slapped him backhandedly, "I can't understand such a reason, and still want to be Sima Zhao? Master is helping me, go back to the room and think about it."

Qin Xiaohao looked bewildered, but he obediently went back to his room to ponder. He was a dog in science and engineering in his previous life. Although he was far superior in knowledge and thinking because of his relationship with later generations, he played politics and pondered people's hearts. , Qin Hao is far behind.

Qin Hao, on the other hand, hurriedly put on a gift and went to Wei Zheng's house to thank his mentor.

A few days later, when Xu Jie returned to Beijing, when he heard that Qin Hao had been taken in to save himself, he was ashamed for a while, and came to Qin Hao's house to apologize bitterly, scolding himself for being useless, etc., Qin Hao said It was just comforting him with good words, and didn't explain the way to him, so that he could stay in Beijing with peace of mind and don't think too much about it.

After a few more days, the matter was finally settled. Qin Hao's title remained unchanged, but his official position was kept to the end. The errands in Liaodong were temporarily judged by Pei Xingjian, and Xu Jie, because of his meritorious service in killing the enemy, was finally promoted from General Zhonglang The rank of general was also granted the title of Marquis, and he was at the same level as his old buddy Su Dingfang.

That is, on this night, after dinner, Qin Xiaohao came to the door on his own initiative and gave him a gift.

"understood?"

"Understood, the master is indeed helping you, and the rewards and punishments of the court are so happy, I think it is because I have figured out the joints, and I am usually pretentious, but now I understand the results at this time. I have really underestimated the world. hero."

"Then tell me, the whole story."

"Father is now a duke of the state and a great official of the frontier. Everyone in the world knows that your next step must be the governor of one side. However, if you don't go to the court, how can you have a seat among the three provinces? It is the six ministers. It's packed full now."

"If you don't do this and want to wait for the prime minister to be vacant, it's hard to say how many years you will have to spend in the bitter cold of Liaodong. The two of us know that Wang Gui is about to die, but the others don't know. Instead, you will stay and resign, so you can be a guest." If you want to talk about the understanding of finance in the world, who can compare with you, so, although you fade out of the court, but you are inseparable, it may not be worse than being a big official in a bitter cold place."

"As for today's matter, in fact, it is more or less inseparable from the relationship, and the master is not aimless. It is better to use this to dismiss your officials now than to have someone use this matter to attack you when you are an extremely human minister in the future. Well, now everyone in the world knows your injustice, and if the prime minister is vacant, the imperial court will use you, and no one will be dissatisfied."

Qin Hao finished listening with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes. Dad, as the founder of the Qing Gang, you are the leader of the world's businessmen. Although the Hongmen is against the Qing Gang everywhere, I think it is also highly respected by you. In the final analysis, it is you who have learned this matter on behalf of others. From then on, you have placed in it It will be easier for you to gain power, and Xu Jie and the soldiers of the Jiangnan government will also miss your friendship. As for Liaodong, if you really come down, in terms of seniority and prestige, it will not be his turn to judge Pei Xingjian. This is the imperial court's appeasement to you. In fact, you have not suffered any loss because of this incident. Xu Jie and Pei Xingjian, two of our family's hardcore members, have been promoted. It seems that you have been hammered by the master, but in fact, you have made a lot of money gone."
