Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 280: court and economy

In the silence, when all the ministers were watching Li Xiu, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, Li Banghua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly stood up.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK, and many of the civil ministers were even more excited, obviously looking forward to it.

now,

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the guardhouse has been rotten for a long time, and it has long been unusable. Duke Qin has great courage to carry out investigation and rectification... Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the reforms have all turned into a backlash..."

"Boiled against the sky, just because the reform touches its interests!"

"Nowadays, that's exactly how it is, for one's own interests, mutiny to bring disaster to the country, unscrupulous means, no king and no father, such thieves, the imperial court, must not retreat in the slightest..."

"Under such a situation, slandering Duke Qin and disturbing the court can be described as a person with ulterior motives, maybe..."

Speaking of this, Li Banghua paused for a moment, slowly raised his head, looked at the queen mother and the emperor behind the veil, his eyes were firm, and he slowly said: "It is necessary to betray the country, hide evil intentions, and deserve to be killed!"

The voice was gentle and firm, word by word, in the silence, it was extremely clear to the ears of every courtier in the hall.

The voice fell, and the hall was once again silent. Obviously, few of them could have imagined that at this time, a senior scholar in the cabinet, a minister, actually stood on the opponent's side.

But this silence only lasted for a moment, and soon, several civil servants jumped out, without any scruples about the old face of Shangshu Pavilion, or in other words, directly tore his face!

"What a bunch of nonsense! The ministers of the dignified ministers, just based on imagination, just..."

"I think that Mr. Li's actions like this..."

The hustle and bustle has resumed, but this time, the spearhead has turned from outside to inside, and it seems to have turned into a disturbance within the civil service.

"To shut up!"

The noise just spread, and with the sound of a scolding, the entire court was instantly silent again, and all eyes again converged on the source of the scolding, Duke Qin, the head of the hundred officials.

At this moment, Li Xiu scolded, then bowed to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then slowly turned around and looked at the ministers.

The icy gaze was like a cold front, glancing at the ministers. At this moment, none of the courtiers who danced so joyously dared to look at each other, showing fear and bowing their heads silently.

"The Governor has said long ago that the Governor will take care of the things that you dare not manage, and the Governor will kill those who you dare not kill!"

"Since you don't have the guts, just stay by the side honestly!"

"It's fanning the flames, jumping and banging non-stop, is it because the Bendu does not exist?"

"Or do you think the so-called chaos at the moment has given you confidence?"

The cold eyes looked around the audience, and the atmosphere of the entire Emperor Hall suddenly solidified.

But this time, in the midst of this depression, he jumped out without fear of death, and in Baiguan's astonished eyes, he directly confronted Li Xiu.

"Then dare to ask Duke Qin, now that all the grain has been destroyed, all parts of Jiangnan are too busy to take care of themselves, and all the taxes, money and grain have been delayed. How to solve this?"

"Now the world is in chaos and mutiny is endless, how should we deal with this?"

"The empress of the Liao thief is staring at the tiger, how to deal with this?"

He questioned passionately and generously, and in the end, the speaker seemed to be infected by his own righteousness, and shouted directly:

"Internal and external troubles are surging, the country is shaky, mountains and rivers are about to fall, isn't it because of you?"

"absurd!"

Before Li Xiu made a sound, Sun Chuanting, Minister of War, gave a loud shout.

"Since ancient times, how can there be any reforms and new policies that have been smooth. According to you, is it a sin to do things, and it is glorious if you do nothing?"

"At this critical moment of reform, I don't want to solve the country's worries and unite as one, but instead fan the flames. What are you waiting for?"

"The ancestral system of the Great Ancestor, the officials of words are not punished by words..."

Gu Yan

The officer had high fighting spirit and showed no weakness.

"Yuanguan is not guilty of his words, but his words and deeds are inconsistent. What is the culpability?"

This time, Li Xiu didn't wait for Sun Chuanting's scolding, and then spit out a sentence.

With these words, the expressions of the officials who were still upright and awe-inspiring suddenly changed. Just when someone wanted to argue something, Li Xiu didn't give them the slightest chance to argue. The big Han general carried a wooden box into the hall, and then handed over the files to Baiguan.

Immediately, Li Xiu waved his hand, and a team of Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves.

Li Xiu ignored the panic of the officials, as if expounding a fact, and said slowly: "I don't do anything to be loyal to the emperor, but instead collude with foreign thieves, stir up the flames, and disrupt the court. The evidence is solid, what should I do? , I shouldn't need to say more about the Governor!"

After he finished speaking, Li Xiu waved his hand, and the dozen or so officials were dragged out of the court without even having a chance to speak. It was very clear what their fate would be.

This sudden change undoubtedly caused the officials in the court to be somewhat unresponsive. Sun Chuanting wanted to say something, but looking at the overwhelming evidence in the file in his hand, he finally suppressed the idea of ​​stopping.

In extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things, he can't be pedantic!

"The mutiny, the Governor has sent troops to suppress..."

"Tongzhou Dacang has already opened a warehouse to transport grain to the capital, which is enough to maintain the capital for half a year..."

"The Governor has ordered the Denglai Naval Division to go to the south of the Yangtze River. A large number of sea ships have been recruited, and the water transportation has been temporarily changed to sea transportation. The issue of grain and grass materials has also been resolved by the Governor, and the Ministry of Households will preside over the development as soon as possible."

After cleaning up the people who should be cleaned up, Li Xiu changed his words and pointed directly at the issues that the courtiers were most concerned about.

As soon as these words came out, the officials were surprised. They were clear about the change from water transport to shipping. After all, the Denglai Navy had been mobilized long before the reform. Looking at the current situation, it was easy to see how the navy was mobilized. analyze it.

But the problem of grain and grass is obviously not so easy to solve, although everyone knows that there is a large amount of grain in the capital.

But sustainability, and sitting on a mountain to eat empty, are undoubtedly two different concepts.

But now, Jiangnan, a tax-paying land, is full of mutinies and rebellions, water transport has been cut off, and it is difficult to protect themselves, let alone those with ulterior motives to make trouble. It is undoubtedly a huge difficulty to raise food and grass materials.

Such a difficult thing, how could it be solved so quietly?

Different from Baiguan's surprise and doubt, Liu Qiyuan obviously knew the inside story long ago, so he answered with his hands and didn't ask any further questions.

After all, as the Minister of the Household, how could he not see the huge existence of the first bank in the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, I thought that the Duke of Qin was involved in the business of merchants, and he personally went out to promote it. He did not hesitate to get infamy for it, just for the sake of food, grass and salaries, not under the control of these civil servants, and let these troops complete the cycle of self-sufficiency.

But now, after the chaos, Liu Qiyuan suddenly understood the true meaning of such a layout!

In the past, if there were endless mutinies, water transportation was cut off, taxation was delayed, and gentry in various places made troubles, a supply and demand imbalance alone would be enough to easily subvert the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, in the past, the important frontier towns were all maintained by merchants transporting grain, and the imperial court’s grain collection system was almost non-existent. Most of them used money to buy grain and grass, and taxation was used to obtain money and silver. For the common people, market transactions were indispensable. exchange for money...

There is no doubt that any imbalance in any part of this is a huge disaster!

But now, with the existence of that huge bank, supply and demand are all in the hands of the Duke of Qin. Even if the gentry and businessmen from all over the world make troubles, they will not damage the deepest foundation. Even, the supply and demand that Duke Qin can control can be controlled by the Duke of Qin. This storm quickly spread and expanded, thus making this foundation more stable.

But now, the thing that worried him the most, although it happened briefly, it was quickly subsided. Obviously, among them, Qin Guogong's direct intervention in the market with the help of Qianzhuang merchants must be indispensable.

The news he received recently~www.wuxiaspot.com~ also clearly proves that during this time, Qin Guogong did not show up, and he was obviously busy for this.

Of course, what caught Liu Qiyuan's attention the most was the terrifying effect of the power of merchants under his control with the bank as the foundation during the turmoil during this period...

Everyone in the world thinks that mutiny and rebellion are terrifying, but only when he is in charge of the Household Department and knows the details of it, can he truly understand that the confrontation in the dark, or the struggle for economic dominance as described by Duke Qin, is the most important. horror thing...

However, even though he knew the inside story, Liu Qiyuan still had too many puzzles about the twists and turns.

These…

It seems to go beyond his knowledge of things, to an unprecedented level...
