Chapter 433
Li Xian said: "We will discuss it tomorrow morning."

Wang Hua replied, "Here."

Leaving the palace, but there is no need to discuss it again tomorrow morning, as soon as Li Xian and Wei Shi discuss it, this matter will become a foregone conclusion.It's not Webster's dislike for him, but Webster's needs.

Wu Sansi died, Zong Jinqing, Ji Chuna, Zhou Yong and others were exiled from the capital successively because of themselves.If Webster wants to control the court, he must reappoint these ministers, otherwise, what should we do?Could it be that Da Song and Zhang talked about them and courted Webster?

But when appointing these ministers, Webster was not very good at appointing himself in the court.The impression I gave her was that I was a stunned young man, and I might give her a strong remonstrance at that time.His own departure was just in line with Webster's wishes.In fact, if he didn't leave, Webster had to reassign these ministers.Will you really be strong?Instead, it will be embarrassing.

The three requests I put forward are not too much. The first request is not to mention a governor of Xiazhou in Lingnan.Road construction is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It is impossible for Webster to tell right from wrong, and it has nothing to do with politics, at least nothing to do with the situation in the court.Only the third article, in Qinzhou now, it is a bit over the limit to set up a city shipping department.But as long as you don't block Webster's path, let's let the imperial court manage it, let alone set up a Shibo Department.Even if you manage it yourself, the taxes you collect belong to yourself. It is not too much to have two roads in front of you.Or she believed that she was capable, but after a year or two, she developed and left Qinzhou herself.The benefits still go to the court.

After Wang Hua returned home, he immediately arranged for a large number of purchases in Luoyang. This is the first batch, and another batch of supplies will continue to be purchased in Suzhou and Quanzhou.At the same time, he ordered that the fastest ships be used to transfer the few people in Oceania who can make black powder to Qinzhou.They sent people in advance to Qinzhou to make some arrangements.

Just after the arrangements were made, Li Gu'er came to his home.

He asked Wang Hua bitterly: "Why do you want to go to Lingnan?"

When I heard it, I heard Qinzhou, but when I arrived at Wang's house, I forgot the name of the state and changed it to Lingnan.

Wang Hua helped her to sit down, there was no harm in going to Lingnan, but I was sorry for Li Gu'er, who would be imprisoned in two or three months, but he would have been in Qinzhou by then.

He persuaded with kind words: "Gu'er, do you know how many refugees there are in the world now? I have made three admonitions, but none of them listened. So I went to Qinzhou to find a way out for the Tang Dynasty. This is related to the Tang Dynasty. An Wei, you can't just ignore this matter because of our temporary separation. And I won't be there for a long time, so try to come back as early as possible to accompany you."

Although Wang Hua said that it was about the safety of the Tang Dynasty, Li Baoer was still not happy, and she said, "Then I will go with you."

Wang Hua wiped off his sweat and said, "That's impossible."

After thinking about it, Li Hong called dozens of craftsmen from Mo Haixuan to carve a mahjong.Wang Hua taught several ways to play mahjong.It happened that Li Xian and his wife, Shangguan Xiaowan and Li Gu'er were on their own.As for whether Li Xian will delay state affairs because of his addiction to playing.Wang Hua is not worried.With Li Xian's ability, it doesn't matter if he doesn't meddle in state affairs. Even if he doesn't meddle in state affairs, it's still a good thing, but once he meddles, it's even worse.It is possible that because of his mahjong, some Qingliu ministers will be dissatisfied and complain a few words.

But Li Bao'er was still not happy, Wang Hua had a sudden idea and said, "Gu'er, you have an important task to do in the capital, not only you, but Li Hong and Wang Han stay in the capital together, to serve us and the country. Do something big."

"What's the big deal?" The "hero" had a place to use, and it really immediately diverted Li Gu'er's attention.

"You will know when the time comes, but you need to prepare some cash. Remember, it must be copper coins and raw silk, not cotton cloth and flying money."

"How much do you want, I will ask my father for it."

Wang Hua wiped off his sweat again and said, "That won't work. The amount of money used this time is very large. You can't use the treasury for fear of causing criticism. You can raise as much as you can, but you must stay in the capital. When the time comes, you will be in command." .Otherwise big things will go. Also, don’t tell anyone.”

Li Gu'er was very happy that she was going to be in charge of a big event, and she really dispelled the idea of ​​dissuading Wang Hua from leaving the capital or going to Lingnan with Wang Hua.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xian waited until the Baiguan had finished playing, and asked Wang Hua, "Wang Qing, I should let you be the governor of Guizhou."

The largest population in Lingnan is not Guangzhou, but Jiaozhou, and then to Guizhou, but it is far less wealthy than Guangzhou.It was Li Xian who felt wronged by the governor of Qinzhou.Since Wang Hua chose Qinzhou, think about it or let Wang Hua be the governor of Guizhou, which is several levels higher than Qinzhou's governor. , Qin, Heng, Yong, Rong, Liu, and Gui seventeen prefectures.Almost governed the province of Guangxi.But now the combined population of the seventeen prefectures is not as large as that of Luoyang.Li Xian was showing his generosity, even if Er Wanghua served as the governor of Guizhou, he would not pose any threat to the court.

Li Xian asked this question abruptly, all the ministers were taken aback, what did Li Xian mean by this, Wang Hua has been in the household department for more than a month, kept his own position, and did not make a big mistake, so why did Wang Hua be exiled.

Now even if Wang Hua is the governor of Guizhou, a third-rank official, and has jurisdiction over seventeen state capitals, as long as he arrives in Lingnan, he will be exiled.

"Your Majesty, I have limited energy and limited financial resources. Going to Qinzhou is just a pilot project. Using this pilot project to pull the whole of Lingnan, if you serve as the governor of Guizhou, not only will you not be able to keep up with your energy, but you will not be able to keep up with your financial resources. The scope will increase, and it will take a short time." There will be no immediate effect. It would be better not to go to Lingnan."

Wang Hua attaches great importance to Qinzhou as a port, and it is impossible to achieve short-term results in other places.Even if Li Xian forced the title of Great Governor onto his head, he would not agree.

Li Xian said helplessly: "Okay then, I will allow you to be the governor of Qinzhou."

This time the court was in chaos. If Wang Hua had committed a crime, there would still be a reason for exile in Qinzhou.Now that Wang Hua has no major faults, he is serving as the governor of Qinzhou?Almost half of the ministers lay down and prevented Li Xian from issuing the edict.

Li Xian also felt aggrieved, he said: "This is not my will, it was Wang Qing's initiative."

Song Jing was not far from Wang Hua, he looked at Wang Hua blankly and asked, "Wang Shilang, what's going on?"

When Wu Sansi was at its peak, Wang Hua avoided going out at worst.He also said to himself that Wu Sansi died to revive the court.Even if you see the mediocrity of the emperor, you can hide in the court, or find other places to use as the land of Jiangxia.There is no need to go to a small place as far away as Qinzhou.If it hadn't been for the short-term governor's mansion in the hands of Tang Gaozu, it is estimated that half of the ministers in the court would not know where Qinzhou is.

Wang Hua recounted the reasons he had said to Li Xian yesterday. In order to make the reasons more abundant, he added: "Everyone, how many soldiers have been sacrificed for every inch of the imperial court's territory. Now there are more than 60 state capitals in South of the Five Ridges, and the territory is almost as large as It is more than one-tenth of the country. Do you really regard it as a place to exile ministers? If it is regarded as a place of exile, more than ten states in Jiaozhou are enough. And because of the court's move, Lingnan is particularly short compared to other provinces What do the local people think? In the long run, the people in this place will not like it, and the barbarians live together, which will become a hidden danger for the court."

Wang Hua is not an exaggeration. In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the Six Edicts, and in the Song Dynasty, Dali became autonomous.Fortunately, after the Ming Dynasty, Yungui was taken back again.But another place, because of being out of touch with the imperial court, became independent as a country after the Song Dynasty, not only did not take it back, but also complained with China later, that is Vietnam.But now Vietnam belongs to the Tang Dynasty from Huanzhou (north of Huanguo, Shandong and Hue, Vietnam).Isn't this related to the imperial court's contempt for this place.

But this principle did not attract many people's attention, and Song Jing said suspiciously: "Wang Shilang, you said that you want to build two roads, and the money is that the states and counties along the way will use the corvees of the people to cooperate with you. Less money. Where do you get the money from?"

Wang Hua still needs to raise 500 million shi of grain for the country. This is not a profitable business. How much money can you earn by relying on several porcelain kilns in the south of the Yangtze River?Moreover, the Wang family itself has huge expenses.

Sure enough, Wang Hua said: "The economy in my hands is a little tight now, especially because I let the prince mess around a bit. But the money in my hand is far from enough. This money is not 20 or [-], but It is calculated in millions of dollars. But please rest assured, since I am serving as the governor of Qinzhou, the money will come from Qinzhou."

conjure up?All the ministers couldn't figure it out. If it was as Wang Hua said, it would cost millions of dollars, even if they sold all the population and land in Qinzhou, they might not get millions of dollars.

But Wang Hua continued to say confidently: "Even after I leave office, this place will continue to add hundreds of thousands of tax revenues to the country every year. However, some of my actions may be a bit out of order. Raise your hand high, don't impeach me endlessly because of a small loss."

If Wang Hua really fulfilled his promise, he would definitely not play his cards according to common sense, but if he promised him, even if there are some oversteps, he can be forgiven.But no matter what Wang Hua does, how can he raise millions of dollars in Qinzhou within one or two years, and bring hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to the court every year?

After scratching my head, I still can't figure it out. Could it be that all the gold is buried under Qinzhou?As for the third point Wang Hua said, no ministers paid attention at all.

Song Jing and other ministers originally wanted to keep Wang Hua, but now they don't want to. They really want to see what kind of miracle Wang Hua can create.Even Zong Chuke hated Wang Hua and wanted to see if this miracle could happen.

After the news spread, many businessmen and big families sent people to Qinzhou to see where there were any treasures, but they didn't see any treasures.Had to come back unhappily.But after Wang Hua arrived in Qinzhou, these people continued to send people to follow Wang Hua.Because if what Wang Hua said is true, this in itself is a great business opportunity.

This is what Wang Hua needed.

Can it really turn out money?This is to attract business and capital, but persuasion is useless, just like the Wang family, if you don't give them enough benefits, they may not join forces with you.Everyone benefits, what should I do in the end?So this gimmick is also needed to attract everyone's attention.

Wang Hua did not leave Luoyang immediately after returning the procedures of the household department. There were too many supplies needed, so he continued to purchase in Luoyang.

The Taiyuan Wang family also came.It was also Wang Han's father. After entering Wang's house in a low-key manner, he immediately went to the study with Wang Hua for a meeting.

Wang Hua first talked about Hao Pengfei's future arrangements and possible consequences.Then he said: "This is the use of the principle of leverage, using the small to make the big, and using ingenuity to defeat the clumsy. But because of a clever word, there are loopholes. If it is done properly, I will get all the money in their hands."

Father Wang felt sorry for him, because the Wang family was also involved in this matter, but he didn't know that Hao Pengfei was in charge, and he thought that several big families in Jiangnan and several big families in Shandong jointly operated it.If he hadn't cooperated with Wang Hua in advance this time, would Wang Hua also cash out all his money?

"Uncle, there is one more thing to say about investment and share. In addition to my 50 coins, there are also some raised grains as the principal. I hope your government will also give 50 coins to return Li Xuejun's father's family and other Persians will also contribute 50 yuan."

I have no problem with this prince.What Wang Hua said is that small things can make big things, which is relative to the economy of the whole country.But compared to individuals, it seems that Hao Pengfei ran away with a huge sum of money in Huazhou last year, that is, how much money would he give out when he knew the nearly ten families he was involved in?What Wang Hua does is to truly make a big difference with a small one. It is very difficult for my family to take out 50 yuan, but it is still possible.So nodding, expressing acquiescence.

"As for the share, your family will get 20.00% share, and Mr. Xue's natal family will get 15.00% share." Originally, Wang Hua didn't want to bring Persians in, whether it was the current operation of food and copper coins, or the hoarding later. Land, but the funding gap is too large.In the end, I negotiated with Xue Jun's father and got him involved.

In fact, when it comes to money, Xuejun's father has distributed a lot of money over the past year, and with his status as the Persian royal family, he can encourage many Persians to raise funds for him.What race was the richest in the Tang Dynasty? It wasn't the seven surnames and ten families, or the children of the royal family, but the Persians.But Wang Hua didn't want to see too many Persians in these two incidents.Therefore, I told Xue Jun's father clearly that if they were asked to contribute funds, they would be rewarded handsomely, and they were even asked to look through the accounts, but they were not allowed to intervene during the operation.

Fortunately, it is true that they have money, and they have also benefited. Even if the money is lost, the share of Oceania will be made up within a year or two.Therefore, he agreed without any waste of words.Moreover, Xuejun's father saw the appearance of Li Xuejun and Wang Hua, and knew that the two of them were weird, and was very pleasantly surprised.If Wang Hua could give Li Xuejun a concubine status, or even use the 50 yuan as a dowry, he would be happy.

But Father Wang was silent after hearing this. His own family provided money, people and resources, and Wang Hua might also provide people, but not Guan Jian, and even all these would be operated on his own head.But it only accounted for 20.00% of the income. Even if Wang Hua said to use grain as the principal, how much grain might there be?Wang Hua took two-thirds of it all by himself, which was very unreasonable.When it was passed back, people in the family also disagreed.

Wang Hua wasn't angry either. In business talk business, Father Wang didn't stare at the table for this split, and he has made great progress.He stated his plan, and then said: "The money of our three families is only for the early stage operation. It will be the decisive battle around the autumn harvest. At that time, not only the emperor will need to use the treasury to increase our capital, but also the emperor will create money for us. Show momentum and cooperate with our operation, so that they can eat their capital. This is the most important point. Therefore, the biggest benefit, I will distribute it to the country. And if everything goes well this time, uncle, how much will there be? You should be able to imagine the benefits in your mind. When I said that I would give back 50 yuan to your government, that was just a low-key statement."

Father Wang was silent after hearing the whole plan. According to Wang Hua's plan, the income would be unimaginable.But when things got out, his family also offended countless big families, including the Zheng, Cui, Lu, and Li families who were married.

But Wang Hua then threw out a second cannonball. He said: "This is the first cooperation project. The income of the second cooperation project will also be astonishing."

"What project?" Could it be that Wang Hua released a piece of land on that Oceania to give back to his family?
"How much is a piece of land in Guangzhou City worth?"

Land is worthless now, and there is only talk of buying a house, not land.But Father Wang can understand the hidden value.

Not to mention Luoyang Taiyuan Chang'an, it is Bianzhou where Wang Hua has been. A courtyard with three entrances and three exits and a small garden covering an area of ​​six or seven mu is worth at least two thousand yuan in Bianzhou city. If the location is good, it is far more than this price.Among them, the housing cost can only account for half, and the other half is the value brought by the land.The population of Guangzhou is not large, but in terms of wealth, although it may not catch up with Luoyang, Changan, Yiyang and Taiyuan, it is also closely behind Jiangling and Suzhou, and it will definitely rank among the top ten rich states in the Tang Dynasty.

How much is a Guangzhou city land worth?Anyway, my family sold all their property and couldn't buy it.

"Uncle, this is the second cooperation project. I will build a new city in Qinzhou. It may not be as big as Guangzhou, but the scale will not be small." Wang Hua said this plan vaguely again.I can't say in detail, it's not like food, in the end Li Xian's court and Li Bao'er will use it, even the Taiyuan royal family dare not get confused.As long as Wang Han's father believes that this new city can be built, it is enough.

Wang's father immediately understood what Wang Hua meant. Now Wang Hua is the governor of Qinzhou, and the Xincheng area is just a barren mountain. How much money does Wang Hua have with a swipe of his pen?But after becoming a city, how many times will the value of these lands appreciate?More than a few dozen times, at least a few hundred times.And this time the division was very reasonable, the Persians only accounted for a quarter, and his own family accounted for 35%. Although Wang Hua still accounted for the majority, it was only 5.00% more.Although Wang Hua continues to operate invisibly, he is the governor, and when dividing up the new city, Wang Hua has unlimited authority, even how to turn wasteland into a city, and people will move in, which requires Wang Hua to operate.This split is fair.

Father Wang choked on his saliva and was finally tempted.How much income these two incomes will bring to my family in the next one or two years cannot be calculated now, nor can it be calculated.But this income can allow his family to rebel with Wang Hua.And it's not treason, it's a fact that benefits the country and the people, he said: "We agreed."

Regardless of the Zheng family and the Cui family, with so much money, it's worth selling your conscience.

Wang Hua smiled slightly. If Wang Han's father disagreed with the second cannonball, wouldn't he be a fool?
Now that they agreed, Wang Hua called Zhu Dian, Li Hong, and Wang Han to discuss.Zhu Ting was going to be taken away. When he arrived in Qinzhou, Wang Hua would let him take up some small official positions, so that he would have a chance to make contributions.Besides, there will be many affairs in Qinzhou. With him, I have an extra right-hand man.

But Li Hong wants to stay and preside over the big plan. Once the war starts, he can't hide it even if he wants to. As long as Li Hong doesn't stand up publicly, it will be fine to block the minister's impeachment.Wang Han also wants to stay, as a contact with the Wang family.But Mu Zili wanted to be taken away, and the last thing Wang Hua could expose was the religious power managed by Mu Zili, who would die as soon as it was exposed.Just by going to Qinzhou, everyone, especially the surveillance forces that Li Dan and Princess Taiping may send, escaped.

After discussing for a long time, several people formulated a complete plan before sending the prince away.

The outsiders didn't know that the earth-shattering event was about to happen, and thought that the Wang family in Taiyuan was discussing about Wang Hua and Wang Han.After all, Wang Han is now staying with the Wang family, and his identity is very strange.Wang Han's father came to Wang's house twice in a row, but even Li Dan didn't think of other aspects.

Wang Hua continued to order his servants to purchase goods, some of which were very strange.But there are many daily necessities.The matter spread, and many people were discussing how Wang Hua created this miracle.As for these daily necessities, they undoubtedly improved the lives of the local people, which made some fleeing households tempted.It's a pity that Qinzhou is too far away from the Central Plains, and few escaped there.On the contrary, many people understand Wang Hua's approach, but they don't understand. The more Wang Hua spends, the less money he spends. How can he have the money to fulfill his promise to build roads?
Four or five days later, the goods were loaded on the ship, and Wang Hua entered the palace again.But this time he asked to only have an interview with Li Xian Webster, and let all the palace people go down.

Li Xian was a little strange, and Wei Shi was equally curious. Although Wang Hua would not be used by her, there was no conflict between the two of them. Once Wang Hua left, Wei Shi also felt a little apologetic.She waved the eunuchs and maids to retreat, and said, "Wang Qing, you can speak now."

"Your Majesty, I will leave the capital tomorrow. But I have a premonition that something will happen, so I left two kits behind. Of course, it would be best if it doesn't happen. But if it does happen, please Your Majesty and the Queen call Li Hong from my mansion to come. The palace is here. But this matter cannot be disclosed to anyone, not even the confidant ministers, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted and the country will be in danger."

The country is in danger?Li Xian and Wei Shi were taken aback.

Regardless of their expressions, Wang Hua continued to say: "When the grain rises to 75 to 500 wen per bucket, your majesty and queen should not panic. Follow my first tip and implement it, then the crisis can be turned into safety. Not only that , if it is carried out properly, the minister will smoothly hand over [-] million shi of grain to the court, and the court will not need a penny."

Li Xian and Wei Shi were confused together.Wang Hua needed money to buy grain, and even more money was needed to build Qinzhou and the two roads. Now 500 million shi for grain and 170 million mint, Wang Hua actually said that he didn't want a penny from the court.Could he really turn out money?

If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them are still a little clear-headed, they both want to raise the price of food to 75 yuan immediately, let's see what clever plan Wang Hua has.

"The possibility of the second kit appearing is very small," Wang Hua said modestly. It is not very small, but inevitable: "But just in case, the minister has made arrangements. That is, the court and the country have no money to use When it's time, ask Li Hong to come and open the second kit."

Li Xian and Webster's faces are even more strange, the country has no money to use?how is this possible?Although the popularization of cotton has caused many worries, it also brought huge tax revenues to the court. Last year, despite the flood, the tax situation was better than when Wu Zetian was in power.How can the country have no money to use?
