Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and sixteen, Zhan Shicheng

The decision above the court is not the best place to solve practical problems. This flashed in his mind when Li Hong coldly watched the noisy situation in Xuanzheng Hall.

Five surnames and seven families are still supported by high-ranking officials and nobles. Today, there is a swarm of chaos in the court, and the royal family members are mixed and muddy. The Hongxue Confucian stands at the commanding height of morals and is distressed.

The reason for this situation is Li Hong's cold sentence: "Abolish all old money from now on, and no transaction can be used."

Suddenly it seemed as if a bomb was thrown at the main hall of the Xuanzheng Hall. Not only did the five surnames and seven families with large amounts of money in their hands become anxious with the royal family members, but also the officials of the three provinces and six ministries who had stabilized the court. I started to be anxious. In this way, no one can afford these losses, and the Ministry of Households is equivalent to half a year's loss in revenue.

After Li Hong once again coldly threw out a piece of data, the person holding a large amount of old money in his hands began to be silent, that is, if the exchange is not based on the same amount, and the difference is exchanged at 300 yuan, Datang will also lose half a year. Revenue. And this is now the focus of the dispute!

After a moment of silence, everyone once again fell into quarrels and heated theories. This is not just Li Hong’s alone, but between some truly incorrupt officials and officials holding old money. Of an argument.

Obviously, Li Hong’s original goal was achieved. He knew that the court plan was not a place to resolve the incident, but it was definitely an excellent place to fan the flames. The only way to sharpen and enlarge the problem was such a protracted game. Only then can it be ended as soon as possible, and at the same time, it can reduce the loss of some money for Datang.

When the crowd was in turmoil, even Li Hong didn't notice. Behind him, behind the screen where Li Zhi was in his dynasty, the current emperor and empress have sat down.

Li Zhi's face is as ugly as it is at this moment, and from time to time he hums and looks at Wu Mei, as if to say, look, this is the result of you letting it go. How can this kind of thing be exposed? Solved?

Wu Mei followed Li Hong's usual way, shrugged her shoulders helplessly at Li Zhi, her face was still relaxed, as if the noise above the hall was like a market, there was nothing wrong with her.

"Wang Lou, see what that little bunny is doing? The chaotic quarrel is like this, can he still stand by and stay out of the matter?" Wu Mei is not happy to ask Li Hong what he wants now, but obviously this New money and old money are just an introduction.

Wang Lou moved two steps to the side, looking through the gauze curtain, only to see Li Hong sitting there as if enjoying the chaos of the courtroom, drinking a sip of tea from time to time, and then continuing to see the quarreling officials, royal family, Big Confucianism, aristocratic family, or just occasionally flipping through the exam papers on the next case?

"His Majesty and Queen, your Majesty was looking through the case table on something that looked like an examination paper, and vaguely saw it, it seemed to be the imperial examination paper of Hongwenguan last year." Wang Lou said respectfully.

Wu Mei had a clear look, smiled relaxedly, and looked at Li Zhi and said: "I see, the real drunkard's intention is not to drink, I am afraid this Guozijian and Hongwenguan are his real intentions. ."

"Then you said he would give up the new money and old money?" Li Zhi didn't care about what happened to the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall.

But if the court is messed up because of money, people will become impetuous, separate and fall apart, and all classes will become hostile

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), but not all of them are beneficial to the stability of Jiangshan.

"Your Majesty, Queen, Bai Chun summoned His Royal Highness at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall." Wang Lou looked like a binoculars, glanced at the situation outside, and hurriedly said.

"Really? The show is coming." Wu Mei's expression of excitement did not faint Li Zhiqi. Is this the queen who helped herself deal with the affairs?

Yang Wu whispered a few times in Li Hong's ear. Li Hong looked at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall, Bai Chun secretly waved to him, Li Hong got up and wanted to go outside.

Pei Yan and Cen Changqian, the servant of the province, saw Li Hong get up and hurried forward to ask.

Li Hong smiled: "Go on, I'll be back soon, it's almost noon, and it's time to end."

Pei Yan and Cen Changqian glanced at each other. Although the Crown Prince in front of them was smiling, they felt that the Crown Prince seemed to be a burning anger, but it was suppressed and did not come out.

Li Hong stood at the entrance of the Xuanzheng Hall, and did not hide his body shape. It was also possible for everyone in the Xuanzheng Hall to see that he had not left.

Bai Chun handed a receipt in his hand to Li Hong, and said, "This is from Princess Yiyang and Princess Gaoan. More than 400,000 quinces of old money were sent to the Royal Bank, not the East Palace. Has been signed and drawn."

Li Hong took a look, and gave it back to Bai Chun again, indicating that he knew it. The moment he turned his head, he saw Lin Shiling who was standing by and waiting for him to summon, and his mind turned, Li Hong Beckoned to him.

When Lin Shiling approached, Li Hong looked up and down Lin Shiling, who was wearing a blue shirt, and asked: "You have heard about the court affairs clearly enough. If it were you, how would you think about it?"

Idle is also idle. Anyway, there is still noisy inside, so let them quarrel for a while, and they will stop automatically when they are tired.

"His Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the people, the crux of the exchange between the old and the new is the huge amount. The imperial court cannot afford to pay so much money, and the rich and powerful holding the old money cannot afford it. With such a risk, if they choose one for one, it will only make it cheaper for the people they bought at the beginning, that is, the people of the world." Lin Shiling said with excitement in her eyes, but calmly thoughtful expression.

"How to untie this knot?" Li Hong asked with a smile again, and at the same time glanced over a piece of paper in Bai Chun's hand.

This piece of paper is not an important secret, but a solution proposed by the students of Chongwenguan on how to exchange new money and old money after brainstorming.

Lin Shiling's expression is uncertain, obviously he has an answer, but he is considering whether he will make His Royal Highness angry if he gives such an answer, or feel that his plan is too dirty and despicable, thus Cut off his only hope of career.

"Don't worry, say it boldly, no matter what the plan, I don't make a calculation." Li Hong looked at Lin Shiling's hesitation and stopped, knowing that he already has a plan.

"Yes, Your Highness. Xiaomin thinks that food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the foundation of human beings. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, they cannot do without such daily necessities as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and so on. I was in Tang Dynasty. Among the officials and honors and salaries, corn, cloth, etc. are all equivalent. Now why not use it again?" After saying this, Lin Shiling stopped talking and looked at Li Hong's first. /

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) After looking, she still smiles.

So I had to continue: "Chang'an has now started to decline due to the prohibition of old money. At that time, not only the main tax source of the imperial court’s rent adjustment, but also the people and merchants will be damaged. In this way, as long as those who hold the old money continue to buy at a low price, within two months, my Datang’s annual income will have to be included in a year, or even not enough. At that time, I am afraid that the power holding the old money They will have the upper hand. The current plan is to stop issuing all honors and salaries and exchange them for salaries with high-priced things, forcing the old money in their hands to continue to depreciate, and strictly control edible things such as salt and sugar. Although they can keep warm, they can’t eat their stomachs. At that time, they can’t wait to spend their old money in an attempt to buy low-priced items in the market. However, as long as the court uses the management of merchants as an excuse to issue registration rules, the people and clean officials may hold new money. People who hold the old money can still enjoy the benefits, and those who hold old money, there are many people, and their purchase decision will not be a decimal, so they need to report to the court. In this way, they will be raised prices to compensate for low prices. The price difference for the people comes and goes. Within a month, I am afraid that about 70% of all old money can be recovered. The first beneficiary is the court, and the people and the incorruptible are the next."

Li Hong smiled. Although this method is effective, it is too despicable, but it is the simplest and most straightforward method. As the control goes on, transactions will become more frequent. Although large transactions will not occur, every transaction The taxation of the transaction will not change. It is enough to raise prices to large traders~IndoMTL.com~ The tax is enough, and the low-priced items except for the price difference, the beneficiaries are naturally the people and merchants.

The Chongwen Pavilion’s plan is similar, but it’s more upright than it is. In the end, the court will lose the most. Those who hold the old money will become one in the whole process until the end. The replacement of the old money and the new money is completed with one exchange, and the people become the natural beneficiaries.

"How old are you this year?" Li Hong asked suddenly.

"His Royal Highness, Xiaomin is 27 years old this year."

"Have you ever been married?"

"The family has a wife, children, and mother, all of whom are still in Taiyuan Mansion."

"You are now the prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shicheng, on the sixth grade, in charge of the official affairs and the military officer's book." Li Hong patted his shoulder and said.

Lin Shiling was stunned on the spot, and even forgot to thank His Royal Highness the prince, the boss with an open mouth, and now he still wonders if he had heard it wrong, and suddenly he became an official of the East Palace on the sixth rank? !

The post of Prince Zhanshi is equivalent to the post of Shangshuling. The function of this organization is to imitate Shangshusheng. After the prince succeeded to the rule, the position of Shangshusheng was basically One of two candidates.

As for the position of prince Zhan Shicheng, it is the same as Zuo Cheng and You Cheng under the shots of the left and right sides. If there is no accident, as long as the prince inherits the throne, then as long as he does not commit a terrible mistake, Lin Shiling will have May come and go, become the minister of power of the Tang Empire.

Li Hong ignored him anymore, he already had a mind, and turned back to the court hall. At this time, the quarrelling gradually stopped. After he walked back to his seat, the court hall became There was silence, everyone was waiting for how they would decide.
