Chapter 751: prince

  Chapter 751 Prince

  Lingnan King Feng An is Qin Lang's son and daughter in-laws, but in Chang'an, thousands of miles away from Lingnan, a transaction involving Lingnan was quietly completed.

  Feng An and countless handsome chieftains from Sanguang were betrayed.

The leader of this transaction is Qin Lang, and the transaction is the share of coastal trade, involving Hebei, Shandong, Huainan, Jiangnandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Sanguang. In this transaction, everything was taken care of. The Jiangnan gentry lost more, but they still kept some shares.

  But the southern barbarians in Sanguang, Fujian, didn't even know about this transaction, and then they were betrayed.

  Their interests were divided by Qin Lang among the Guanlong Group, the Shandong gentry, and the Jiangnan gentry. Of course, the Military Merit Group, which originally dominated maritime trade, also sold a lot.

  But originally the sea trade was cooperated by the military upstart group represented by Qin Lang and the local tycoons such as Feng An in Lingnan, but now Qin Lang abandoned them.

In front of the menacing Guanlong Group and the Shandong gentry who were waiting for an opportunity, Qin Lang did not choose to fight. He chose to make a concession, share some interests, cooperate together, and then give his old friends, the southern gentry, to him. Kicked out.

   In the future, sea trade, especially spices, will have nothing to do with the local kings in the south.

  Two evils invade the lesser, Qin Lang can't give up his own interests, so he can only kick Feng An and the others out of the game. Of course, this also means driving tigers to eat wolves and attracting tigers to fight.

If the Guanlong Group and the Shandong gentry want to get this profit with peace of mind, they have to face the counterattack of the local tyrants in Lingnan. It is impossible for them to give up the benefits so easily. In terms of looking for opportunities, after all, the spice ships have to pass through their territory, so they have plenty of opportunities.

  The biggest possibility is that these Lingnan tycoons have turned from the open trade on the surface to the smuggling of spices by sea.

  Whether the northern river-crossing dragon swallows the Lingnan tiger, or the Lingnan land sends snakes to kill the northern river-crossing dragon, Qin Lang is looking forward to it. For Qin Lang, who has already taken root in Annan, he doesn't want to see the local powerful forces such as Fa Feng An, Tan Dian, and Ning Xuan continue to maintain.

   Their hundreds of years of foundation is too strong, and they are a great threat to the Qin family going south, so they must be weakened even if they cooperate. The important thing is balance, a balance that can benefit the Qin family.

  Of course, this new balance is definitely beneficial to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court is stable in Lingnan, and only the imperial fiefdoms like Wu'an Prefecture can stand firm. This is a combination of glory and loss.

  Qin Lang was worshiped by the emperor as an envoy to watch customs and patrol the coastal states and counties of the province.

The emperor also appointed several customs envoys for the same observation, such as appointing Li Jing as Guanzhong customs envoy, Changsun Wuji as Longyou customs envoy, Qin Qiong as Jiannan customs envoy, and Yang Gongren as Henan customs envoy... ·

  Basically, they are the prime ministers who have become officials, or the current prime ministers are sent as envoys. They have extremely high authority and can accept appointments, evaluate and promote officials from various places, visit people's conditions, inspect administrative, taxation, judicial and military affairs, and other aspects.

  Each customs watcher is assigned a team from the six ministries of the three provinces and Yushitai and other yamen, which is actually a central inspection and investigation team.

  In addition to administrative, judicial, taxation and military affairs, Qin Lang will also be responsible for adding seaports, building a new city ship department, and setting up naval forces. The tasks are even heavier.

Chengqian really wanted to go out with Qin Lang for a while, but unfortunately he was the crown prince, Li Shimin would not let him leave Beijing easily, he grew up so big, he had never even been to Yongzhou Mansion, Luoyang, the farthest Just go to Lishan Palace, Qizhou Jiucheng Palace hasn't been there yet.

   "Going out is not for fun, the journey is tiring, and there is nothing to look forward to." Qin Lang comforted him.

   "I want to see the sea, to find the sperm whales that the teacher said, to the South China Sea to see flying fish, to see seagulls..."

   "There will be opportunities later, so wait!"

   "Now I feel that the Eastern Palace is a big prison, and Yu Zhining and others are the prisons. They recite scriptures for me every day, and they are so annoying."

   "Has Mrs. Pei offended His Highness recently?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

   "Pei's pregnant." He told Qin Lang.

"real?"

   "The queen mother has taken her to the Lizheng Hall of Taiji Palace, and now I can't even see anyone."

Qin Lang didn't expect that people would be killed anyway, "Don't worry, since the empress is taking people into the palace and not just giving them white silk or a glass of poisoned wine, you don't have to worry, this is your first marriage after all. A child. But didn't I remind His Highness, remember to use contraception? That sheep intestine condom is not easy to use?"

   "That laoshizi is so troublesome, and every time I wear it, I don't feel comfortable at all. I haven't worn it for a long time. I just put it outside when I arrive."

   "Your Highness, it's not safe outside the body, it's easy to get tricked."

  Chengqian didn’t expect this to happen, he always thought that if he wasn’t in it, there would never be any, “I followed the safe period you taught me, teacher, and it turned out to be not safe.”

   "This is not entirely accurate, the days will change, but if you are pregnant, you will be pregnant. What is your majesty's attitude?"

   "Your Majesty didn't say much, he just said that when I'm young, I should restrain myself from indulgence."

  Qin Lang didn't expect Li Shimin to be open and reasonable.

   "Since Mrs. Pei has entered the palace to protect her pregnancy, His Highness will bear with it for the time being. His Majesty is probably watching you, so don't rush to find another one."

   Chengqian sighed helplessly.

  Young man who eats the marrow and knows the taste, how can he leave Pei Shi now, without Pei Shi, I feel that the whole person has no taste. "Sanlang, is Xinxin still with you, is the service okay?"

  Qin Lang looked at Cheng Qian who suddenly asked this question, and couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that he had made up his mind about Xin Xin again? Originally, he didn't intend to bring Xin Xin with him, but now Qin Lang felt that he had to change his mind.

   "It's very satisfying, I like it very much, and it's very comfortable to serve."

   "Sanlang, this, this, how do you feel about sharing peaches?"

  Qin Lang frowned.

   "Your Highness, there are still differences between men and women. You majestic crown prince, it is better not to think about such difficult things. Take advantage of this free time to calm down and read books or practice martial arts."

  Chengqian said, "I feel like I can't find any goals every day, and I don't know what to do. I am very confused."

  Qin Lang didn't know what to say, no matter how confused you are, don't think about engaging in PY transactions.

"If your Highness is willing to put your heart into it, are you afraid that you won't have a goal? Isn't Your Highness still a Yongzhou Shepherd? You should be serious about being a Yongzhou Shepherd, take care of the affairs of the Yongzhou Mansion, and make some achievements. Let's not talk about it, this Chang'an Is the law and order of the city, the business management and urban planning of Chang'an City in place? Are those guys in Chang'an City who like to be shirtless and tattooed in winter finished cleaning up?"

   "There is also the previous subsistence allowance plan for the disabled, orphans and widows, has it been implemented?"

"Is there a backlog of cases in Yongzhou Prefecture, are there any grievances from the people, and have the prisoners in Yongzhou Prison been reviewed? It's almost Chinese New Year, should there be a clean-up in Chang'an City? Should the streets be repaired and filled up?" one time?"

   "Your Highness, there are still many things to do, how can you feel lost and aimless?"

  Chengqian did not expect to be told by Qin Lang, "These are not done by the people below."

"Start with small things and do it yourself. You can't leave everything to the people below, otherwise you won't be able to figure it out. If the Yongzhou Mansion is not in order and you can't figure it out, how will His Highness take over the entire Tang Dynasty in the future? Can't do anything Leave things to the subordinates, let alone listen to the subordinates in everything, otherwise you will be deceived and you will not know."

"There is still so much money in the treasury of the East Palace. Your Highness can also think about how to spend it when you are free, and how to spend it. And the spent is effective and put to practical use. Your Highness is thinking about how to make money, and His Highness is thinking about how Spend the money well."

   "Sanlang remind me!" Chengqian originally thought that spending money should be an easy task, but since Qin Lang said so, he felt that the money might not be easy to spend.

"Your Highness, the money must be spent on the real thing, and the good steel must be used wisely. The key point is not to use the money for extravagance. The money can be used to generate interest and interest. It's so simple, these things that make money are not what His Highness should consider, what His Highness should consider is how to make the money more valuable, such as subsidizing more scholars, using some money to collect some ancient books for restoration and compilation, or to publish Some money is used to print and transcribe the works of some literati.”

"For another example, set up some awards to encourage craftsmen to improve some production techniques, such as the improvement of farm tools, or water conservancy technology, etc. These are all techniques that are beneficial to the country. Another example is to draw money to set up in Chang'an Lifang or Jingji County Some elementary schools for enlightenment, or help the common people establish some agricultural cooperatives, provide you with some seeds, farming cattle, farm tools for rent, or guidance on farming techniques, etc..."

   "There are many things that can be done to benefit the country and the people, and there are more places where money can be spent. Your Highness only needs to think with a little bit of light."

  Chengqian said, "It's really all spending money that can only be paid out."

   "Your Highness is not a businessman, so you don't have to think about making money all the time. As I said, the minister who makes money is the one who makes money. Your Highness just needs to think about how to spend the money in a valuable way."

  If you have money, you can’t think about buying all kinds of spices and silks, famous horses and good cars, otherwise no amount of money will be enough. A piece of ambergris costs tens of thousands of dollars, and a handful of pepper is worth a cow.

   Money spent on these things will not get any good reviews, but if these things are used to build elementary schools, open affordable drug stores, run nursing homes, or build cooperatives, agricultural technology stations, etc., they will definitely get a lot of praise.

"Of course, it's not that there are projects that can make money. For example, His Highness can set up a breeding cooperative or something. Donggong pays for the purchase of cattle and sheep, etc., and then signs a contract with the people to raise them, pay them or pay them. It is to repay the principal with interest at that time, or to share the money from the sale."

"Or His Royal Highness can spend money to purchase looms and spinning wheels, and then provide them to the common people and women, and provide materials for their families to process. One loom per person, a thousand families, equals a thousand looms. If it is 10,000 People, that is 10,000 looms, and the accumulation of small amount becomes more. If there are 10,000 looms, the silk cloth that can be spun in a month is very considerable, and there is also a lot of profit in it. win-win·······"

   Qin Lang can find more than a dozen such cooperation models at random, which are nothing more than one party providing capital and orders, and the other party providing manpower.

Chengqian originally thought that once Qin Lang left and Pei's family was admitted to the palace again, he would feel very uncomfortable, and was so bored that he wanted to find Xinxin to try the feeling of Fentao. Now that Qin Lang pointed it out, he suddenly felt that he had found it again. A golden road!
