Li Yuanxing walked back and forth on the stage twice, and his tone slowed down a lot!
"That's it for the cruel words. Next, I, Li Yuanxing, will make you rich. I, Li Yuanxing, don't need money. It's enough to support my family and generals. But the Tang Dynasty needs money. If there is no money, when foreigners invade, the Tang Dynasty will
What do the soldiers eat, drink, and wear? Do they just go to the battlefield with a bamboo stick?"
"We will pay our business taxes truthfully and we won't dare to have any arrears!" All the businessmen in the audience shouted in unison.
Li Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction: "You are also well-connected people. You should have heard the news about what happened in the court yesterday. Master Changsun and Master Cui have said a lot of good things for you. Wei Heizi's situation is not easy to pass."
.But now that it’s been decided, do you know what should be done?”
At that moment, Leader Li stood up on behalf of all the members of the Brocade Silk Chamber of Commerce: "Your Highness, we have sent the pledge to the Household Department this morning, and I think we should be counting it at this time. As citizens of the Tang Dynasty, we must strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if I risk my life, I will not insult the royal family!"
"Okay, very good!" Li Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and sat down.
Li Yuanxing's sitting posture is different from others. Everyone is kneeling and only Li Yuanxing is sitting cross-legged. This is somewhat similar to Taoism. There is a rumor in the market that Li Yuanxing came from the sky. It seems that the merchants believe this rumor even more now.
Already.
"What I just said is all in the past. Now we are going to talk about what is going on here. Trust me, you will not regret it. Magistrate Du, thank you for your work." Li Yuanxing bowed slightly. This small movement made Du Zichun excited.
This King of Qin is so friendly that he should die to serve him.
A huge white cloth was stretched out, followed by pen and ink.
The planning drawing Li Yuanxing brought was only an A2-sized drawing, so the county magistrate had to draw it on a huge white cloth.
The county magistrate saw the picture and secretly praised it for being magical. There were almost no details that he needed to add. Looking at the paper again, only fairy paper could deserve the name of this paper.
While Magistrate Du was drawing, Li Yuanxing said: "The entire Chang'an County belongs to me. The farmers naturally have arrangements. Let's talk about the plan first. The trade zone has reserved land for various chambers of commerce. You need to buy it. Buy the land.
The money will be used for building roads, planting trees, and doing some gardening. In the future, people from foreign countries will buy things here, and the Foreign Trade Department will also be located here."
It sounds reasonable, and all the businessmen are lowering their heads to discuss.
Magistrate Du drew quickly, and soon an outline was drawn. Although no detailed label appeared, the businessmen could already see that this map included the entire Chang'an County.
According to the regional division of the Tang Dynasty, since it is called Chang'an County, it was originally part of Chang'an City.
About three miles beyond Mingde Gate is the dividing line, and further south to the foot of Nanshan Mountain is the boundary of Chang'an County.
The east and west sides are 70 miles long. According to modern calculations, including the mountains and forest land, it covers more than 1,000 square kilometers. The population is 40,000 households, with more than 100,000 or 200,000 people.
King Qin opened his mouth and made a move, and the entire Chang'an County belonged to him.
Li Er didn't refuse. He thought he was giving Li Yuanxing a fiefdom. The other kings' fiefdoms were all far away from Chang'an. But what about the fiefdom of King Qin? Chang'an was originally the land of Qin, and the fiefdom of King Qin should be in Chang'an. It's just a county.
, Li Er is naturally not stingy.
Those small farmers will naturally belong to the fiefdom of the King of Qin.
The big landowners have just witnessed the bloodshed of the Xuanwumen Incident. Who dares to say anything nonsense? They have received some money from exchanging their fields. They have been busy moving in the past few days. As for the land properties of the nobles, they have a small amount of land in Chang'an County.
Most of the nobles chose to give their fields to Li Yuanxing, and those with more fields could be compensated by Li Er from the national treasury.
Li Yuanxing wanted Chang'an County because he needed a space to perform.
Changing the Tang Dynasty could not be accomplished overnight. Just as the future scientist said, too advanced technology would be of no use to the Tang Dynasty.
Giving a hundred tanks will definitely sweep the Turks away, but what about logistics, maintenance, fuel, and tank crews? Can one person really drive a tank? What's more, Li Yuanxing can't get tanks.
Some of the merchants had already left their seats. They did not dare to mess up in front of King Qin, but they all approached the huge white cloth. The plan on it became clearer and clearer. The first area with detailed descriptions turned out to be a garden.
, although there is no obvious garden pattern and can only be seen as a picture, the businessmen all know that it is a garden.
Just when the businessmen thought that it might be the location of Prince Qin's palace, several traditional Chinese characters appeared on the garden. The words were, Garden in the Center of the Street!
At this time, in Chang'an City, the carriages outside the Hubu's warehouse were like dragons, and the soldiers were like a forest.
The main thing circulating in the market in the Tang Dynasty was not silver, but copper coins. Silver, gold, silk, etc. were only used as auxiliary currencies. Barter transactions also existed in many places.
Li Er finished his morning court very early today and came to the Hubu warehouse.
The carts were still being pulled one after another in the warehouse by Kufu from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Each cart was piled with goods, copper coins, gold and silver cakes, and the axles creaked under the pressure.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance took a leave of absence at home because of illness. This man had no choice but to pretend to be ill until he died.
Just because the Cui family in Qinghe was too powerful, he didn't dare to offend him, and also because the emperor needed someone to suppress Cui Shilang in name, so the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue became a decoration. Cui's work was also good, and he had it every month
Send him the money.
So the person standing next to Li Er was actually Cui Shilang.
Li Jing and Fang Du stood a little further away, discussing something in a low voice, not intending to let others hear.
Li Er didn't need to know, because these three people would naturally report it to him.
What's more, at this time, Li Er was still intoxicated by the mountains of money. Who said the emperor didn't like money? He needed to fight wars and build palaces. The entire Tang Dynasty needed to spend money.
Millions of strings!
Li Jing, who had frowned for almost a month, had a smile on his face for the first time. He was discussing with Fang Du how to make good use of the money. Li Jing needed money. With this money, he would let the Turks know that Datang was not a piece of meat in their mouths.
.
Li Jing and others all remembered that Li Yuanxing had a very wonderful theory.
The Tang Dynasty was rich, and the people of the Tang Dynasty knew how to behave. Naturally, the surrounding savages were jealous, so they were always ready to come and take a bite of the Tang Dynasty. Just think about the small countries that came to pay tribute.
In exchange for a large amount of rewards, they are here to pay tribute, but they are here to rob Datang.
Do Turks want benefits?
Then leave your bones, and save some living people by the way. The king needs slaves to do hard work.
When Yu Shinan heard these words, he sighed for a full hour, thinking that Li Yuanxing ignored the teachings of the sages and did not practice the virtues of the sages. He should educate the surrounding small countries.
For this reason, Old Devil Cheng and Old Man Yu Shinan quarreled for another hour.
Li Yuanxing said something again that made the military generals ecstatic and the civil servants wailing. Li Yuanxing said: "I don't know whether Mr. Wu An is Bai Qi or not. This guy is seated further forward in the sky than Kong Lao Er." Just when the civil servants were about to continue fighting.
, Li Yuanxing said again: "But their seats are far from those of our ancestor Li Er!"
Li Er was happy, the civil servants did not dare to fight, and the generals were proud.
Thinking of Li Yuanxing, Li Jing was smiling, Fang Duxiang was smiling, and even Li Er could not help but smile.
Li Er looked at the pile of money and finally said with a smile: "Cui Qing, I need food and grass!"
"I accept the decree!" Cui Shilang has not yet entered the circle of Li Er's close ministers. He only got some vague news that there may be a war. But he does not know about the Turks. He only knows that Li Yi, the king of Jingzhou, has been a little restless recently, so he thinks he should
It was for this reason that I just accepted the order but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, knowing that more money would be brought into the treasury.
This warehouse simply cannot hold millions of coins.
"Return to the official position!" Li Erxin exclaimed lightly. The eunuchs and maids standing in the distance immediately lined up again in a well-trained manner, and the imperial soldiers all stood up straight. Li Er got on the dragon chariot but did not immediately give the order to set off.
It was a signal to invite Li Jing to come up.
This is an emperor's concern for his ministers, which is an honor.
"Medicine Master! How should this battle be?"
"Victory, total victory!" Li Jing answered confidently.
"Wulang was given to me by God in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Er said with emotion and then asked: "Wulang wants the entire Chang'an County, and he can do whatever he wants. Tell the civil and military officials of the court that they are not allowed to cause trouble for Wulang in matters related to Chang'an County.
, give Wulang all the convenience he deserves!"
Li Jing nodded: "I heard that Wu Lang is re-planning Chang'an County, and all chambers of commerce have sent representatives there."
"Businessmen pursue profits. If they have benefits, they will run faster!" Li Er commented.
Li Jing added: "The Tiance Internal Guard has reported that most of the merchants in the two cities have stopped trading with each other. The three major royal silk trading houses have reopened the market. They all said that the Tang Dynasty will not go well this year, and even a piece of Hangzhou silk will be lost."
Sold for eighty guan, a piece of Shu Brocade has already reached 130 guan."
"What's the result?" Li Ernao asked with interest.
Li Jing smiled: "The merchants went to Honglu Temple. Tea was of course provided, and good words were naturally said. But when the merchants came to the market, how could the Tang Dynasty officials ask the merchants to lose money and ship the goods? As for the merchants
The price sold to the people of the Tang Dynasty was because the merchants were taught by the saints, and even if they lost money, they still had to keep the people clothed."
"Take care of the levels!" Li Er gave such instructions.
Li Jing said that he understood that when merchants bought silk, they had special customs documents. Without these documents, it was absolutely impossible to get out of customs. It was an iron rule to bring as many pieces of silk as there were documents.
The border soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew how to kill people.
Especially when it comes to major matters involving money and food, Datang's border soldiers will never let go.
