Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 57 People’s hearts
"Donghai and Yanyun's salt and wine monopoly rights. Apart from these two monopoly rights that can attract those old and cunning businessmen in the imperial capital, I'm afraid there is nothing that can tempt them." Leng Qian said slowly, his eyes But more helpless.
"But Mr. Leng, if we do this, then we will really break with the merchants in the East China Sea. They have monopolized the salt and wine monopoly in these two places for many years." Situ Tai hesitated He is not yet ready to openly turn against the East China Sea merchants. Although the East China Sea merchants are not as wealthy and powerful as the Jiangnan merchants, they have always been very united and quite xenophobic. Back then, Lao Qi did not win their respect there. , it is even more difficult for him to win their favor.
"Hmph, the current situation is like this, we can only take this move. If it weren't for them, how could we have come to this step? Does Your Highness really think that we can still rely on them?" Leng Qian said coldly Reversely, whether it is His Royal Highness or His Royal Highness, it seems that it is difficult to capture the hearts of these businessmen who value the interests of their own class. Perhaps in their eyes, only the ruler who fully protects their interests is the person they need.
Seeing that his lord was still hesitant, Leng Qian further emphasized his tone: "Your Highness, Beiyuan has been corrupted, and Yan Yun is now His Highness's foundation, so we must ensure that our foundation is stable. As for the Donghai merchants, since they don't If you are willing to help His Highness in the same boat, His Highness does not have to be too lenient and benevolent, not to mention the salt and wine monopoly, depriving them of their rights and wealth is also one of the means that can be taken when necessary, as long as the situation has reached that point and it is necessary."
Finally, a resolute look appeared on his face, a gloomy coldness rose quietly in Situ Tai's eyes, and he almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, even the words showed a trace of chill: "In your opinion, Is it necessary for us to take special measures to deal with those stubborn businessmen? If we can kill the chickens and scare the monkeys to beat those guys who are holding on to the money and refuse to let go, do you think our current predicament will be improved?"
His own proposal aroused the lord's murderous intent that had been lurking for a long time, but Leng Qian was not yet ready for this kind of preparation. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Well, Your Highness, we should not act too hastily. Although the East China Sea merchants are hateful, but We also need to consider the various follow-up matters after your ascension, so it is better not to move them for the time being, and it will be much easier to deal with them after His Highness ascends the throne."
He let out a long sigh of relief. Deep down in his heart, Situ Tai really wanted to teach those businessmen a lesson, but in the long run, he still had to bear the burden of humiliation. No matter how much uselessness you suffer, you have to endure it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After he is crowned a great treasure, he will slowly deal with these guys.
"Forget it, Mr. Leng, these things are up to you to worry about. Well, if you have suitable candidates, you might as well recruit some more people to help you. Now Chenghuai can barely help you with military affairs. There is still a need for government affairs here. Don't worry about it, if there are a few people to help, we don't have to work so hard."
Situ Tai's words also aroused Leng Qian's sympathy. The lack of people who can trust and get along with him is a matter that Leng Qian also feels urgently now. Once the lord sits on the throne of the emperor, this is something to worry about But there are too many, far from being comparable now, and it needs to be prepared in advance.
"What did you say? Tao Tingzhi? Tao Tingzhi among the two warriors in the cloud? He wants to see me?" Somewhat surprised, he raised his beautiful old crow's eyebrows, and his sea-blue pupils looked puzzled, curled With long hair draped over her shoulders, the girl leaned on a flannel fabric reclining chair and propped herself up. The pretty girl with trembling **** could not help but glance at the pretty girl who came in to inform her.
Seemingly aware of the scorching eyes of her close servant girl, the girl laughed and scolded indifferently: "Damn girl, where are you looking, do you have someone who looks at people like that? Don't you?"
"Hee hee, Miss's figure is getting better and better. If my uncle comes in now, I'm afraid my eyes will fall on the ground." The girl who speaks is also unscrupulous.
"You! Talking is becoming more and more unruly. People say that I have spoiled you, but I still don't believe it. It seems that I have to discipline myself strictly, lest outsiders laugh at my lack of family education." Although the words It was a little harsher, but the tone didn't change much.
"Hehe, who would laugh at Miss? Sister Li and the others all said that Mi'er is innocent and innocent, don't be like some girls who are old before they get old. Didn't Miss agree with it last time?" The maid plausibly refuted her master.
"Okay, okay, I can't say no to you, and you will have to suffer later. By the way, did Tao Tingzhi ever say what is his willingness to see me?" He also put an embroidered woolen shawl on the shoulders of a well-fitting cheongsam for his master.
"I didn't hear from the concierge. The concierge only said that he had been waiting at the gate and asked to see the lady. Could it be that at his age he admired the lady's beautiful name•••& #8226;••" Speaking of this, the servant girl couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense and destroy people's reputation. This Tao Tingzhi is not a simple person. He can be regarded as a famous scholar in Yanyun. An official school, peaches and plums are all over the world, and he is a respected elder in the Yunzhong area. But I don't know what he wants to see me, even if he has something to do, he should go to Situ Tai or His Majesty the current emperor That's right." The golden fluffy hair is tied into a graceful bun, and a black silk hairnet is wrapped around it, and a well-fitting lotus-colored cheongsam outlines the body exquisitely and embossed, and the sexiness implies luxury. Her demeanor is enough to melt all ice and snow, her eyes are bright, her blue eyes are like a bottomless ocean, and the golden hair that is secretly scattered from the hairnet is dancing in the sun, that moment is elegant, refined and charming.
"Then why did he come to see the lady? Could it be that my uncle asked him to come to see the lady, and if there is anything that needs to be conveyed to the lady?"
"No, I never heard him mention this person, and I didn't mention it in the letter a few days ago. There should be other reasons." The blonde shook her head and stood up, "Let's go, Don't make people wait too long, maybe there is something important."
Tao Tingzhi, who was waiting at the gatehouse of the Huey family's house, was really desperate, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and tried his luck to find this rumored candidate for His Royal Highness Qin Wangfei. His Majesty does not care, His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of interfering, seeing that a humanitarian tragedy is about to happen in Yunzhong Mansion, hundreds of thousands of refugees lack clothing and food, and those who can escape have already fled to neighboring counties, and most of the rest are They couldn't go out with their children and children, or they were old and weak women and children. As the severe winter approached, the people of Puer ransacked the entire Yunzhong Mansion and fled. Only hundreds of thousands of poor refugees were left with no food or clothes. How many months of cold winter have we spent?
But during this period of time, I and a few gentry and elders in the cloud have already run back and forth, from Jinling, where His Royal Highness is stationed, to the imperial capital, but everywhere we go, we encounter obstacles again and again. Interested in the remote Yunzhong, His Royal Highness seems to have forgotten that Yunzhong is still his territory, and later avoided seeing it under the pretext of going out for inspection. From Jinling to the imperial capital, His Majesty's attitude was even more ambiguous. Apart from complaining about suffering and poorness, he pushed it to His Majesty. In short, he was nothing. Now it is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor intends to hand over the throne to His Majesty. I'm afraid he doesn't want these things even more intervene.
In desperation, a few people gathered together, and they had to look around for those important ministers and nobles in the imperial capital, and see if they could find some kind-hearted people to show mercy~IndoMTL.com~ Finally, someone gave them a group of headless flies. Wake up, His Royal Highness King Qin has just provided a large amount of food to the imperial capital at a low price to meet the daily needs of the people in the imperial capital. If His Royal Highness Qin can get the support, then the problem of refugees in the cloud can be easily solved.
And Miss Angel of the Huey family is not only the confidante of His Royal Highness Qin Wang, but also one of the strong candidates for Qin Wangfei. This news is no secret in the imperial capital, so Tao Tingzhi made a rash visit.
Although he was very anxious, Tao Tingzhi was still overwhelmed by the peerless demeanor of this elegant and noble young woman sitting opposite. Fortunately, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were far from this scholar who always had a compassionate heart. More than anything, he quickly woke up from the shock, and after a simple ceremony, he confessed his intentions and solemnly asked the other party to give assistance to the people in the cloud.
To be honest, Angel was moved by the other party's enthusiasm and benevolence, and traveled thousands of miles. This heart alone is enough to prove the noble morality of the person in front of him. From the bottom of her heart, Angel really wants to help The opponent's. But as the spokesperson of her fiancé in the capital, she also knows the weight of her words and deeds, but she also needs to consider the interests of the entire Xijiang represented by her fiancé. It is easy to answer, but she needs to consider the entire interest group in Xijiang. This is obviously a charity aid view, especially after Wufeng agreed to provide 10 million dans of food to the imperial center at a low price. Many officials in Xijiang have already believed that the concessions to the imperial center are too much, and it is not worth paying for the empire. Big price.
Seeing the hopeful look in the other party's eyes, Angel couldn't help taking back the words that were already on her lips. She really couldn't bear to let the other party come full of expectations but return disappointed and frustrated.
