While reporting the report, Xiao Yu also reported the reason... Because there are quite a lot of memorials in Shangshu Province, it is impossible to report them all to Li Er, otherwise Li Er might as well read them himself - so generally speaking, if you report them, you must
Tell us the reason for reporting.
then……
In the Manna Palace.
At this moment, Li Er is absentmindedly looking at the latest new book - "new book" is not an ordinary rarity in the era without printing. Even for Li Er, although there is printing now, it has not really exerted its power.
.
So it can be imagined that this new book comes from Zichengzhai...
Li Shengfa's serial "novel"!
I finished reading the Buddha's True Way last time, and this time it's called "The Legend of the Golden Urn"... This book is as good-looking as the previous one, but the practice inside seems to have become a little more complicated, and it's a bit difficult to read...
…
Of course, Li Er couldn't tell whether it was because he was busy reading or because he was upset.
Datang needs to accumulate precious metals to lay the foundation for its real take-off in the future. How can it be done...
The cause of this problem has troubled Li Er for more than a month. How to solve the problem now? It has troubled Li Er again.
But this time, Li Er was sleepy, and suddenly the chamberlain came to report that Xiao Yu asked to see him.
Li Er was also startled, why did this old boy suddenly ask for a meeting... wasn't he just a bastard?
Xiao Yu is still quite useful. For the celebrities from aristocratic families, he is far behind Wei Zheng and others. This time, Li Sheng also sent a wave of red envelopes to Xiao Yu in order to engage in Yimu Lixin.
The kid should be at ease, right? Li Er subconsciously felt that this guy didn't have anything good in his head.
But since I asked to see you, there was nothing wrong with me and there was no reason why I should not see you, so...
"Xuan!"
"The humble minister Xiao Yu has a memorial to submit to Your Majesty!"
"Memorial?"
Li Er subconsciously felt that Xiao Yu, a traitor from a wealthy family, must have come to poach the Tang Dynasty to make profits, or to stir up troubles. He probably had some suggestions to give to the court, but he did not expect it to be a memorial.
There are a lot of memorials in the Ministry of Secretariat, and of course Li Er can't read them, but there doesn't seem to be any hot events recently, right? You need to report the memorials to me specifically... What could this be?
After thinking about it, Li Er was a little curious, but since Xiao Yu is here, of course Li Er nodded and asked, "What memorial is it? Tell me."
What this means is that if it is not an important memorial, but you think the so-called "suggestions" on some unofficial memorials with suspicious origins are very useful to you, and if you want to show me this kind of operation, then quickly give it to me.
Bar.
But then Xiao Yu said something surprising.
"Your Majesty, this memorial is about the recent maritime trade... It is said that due to the prosperity of maritime trade, there are more and more pirates on the sea, and bandits are rampant. However, the fleet of the Tang Dynasty is not perfect yet and cannot fully protect it. If we want to be comprehensive, we must still protect it.
Your Majesty needs to make a decision and select a group of maritime merchants for special protection..."
It’s a totally mediocre memorial!
No matter how you look at it, it is just a very ordinary memorandum, the kind in which a local official asks for the opinion of the court and calls on your majesty to come up with an idea so that he can do things easily.
It’s so ordinary… yet!
When Li Er heard these words, it was like a thunder.
Damn it...
In Li Er's mind, there were only these two words at the moment! Nothing else!
Damn it, that’s it!
Li Er was in trouble not because of anything else, but because... what he was worried about recently was exactly how to further guide the business activities of merchants in order to accumulate gold and silver for the Tang Dynasty!
But the problem is that currently, there is no solution.
If we talk about incentive measures, they are already there - the effect is just like this, and they fail to fundamentally solve this problem.
If we are talking about punishment, it is not easy to deal with. After all, what business does the merchant want to do, what does he sell and what does he buy, how is the court going to control it?
It’s not that hard management cannot be managed, but how should we use this name? If it is clear that Datang currently has strategic intentions, and you remember my eyes and act, then...
Merchants have always been low-class people since ancient times. Nowadays, of course they will listen when good things happen to them, but strategic intentions cannot be widely publicized...
Then if the Southeast Asian countries and even the foreign countries in Dashi became vigilant, the Tang Dynasty would be completely out of control, let alone that.
It seems possible to forcibly designate punitive measures according to the import and export of gold and silver, but the problem is still the same, there is no name...
Without a name, forced enforcement is not impossible, but the administrative cost is much higher, and the effect may not be effective - after all, China's coastline is so long, it is not difficult for merchants to escape for profit.
By then, if smuggling becomes common, this decree will be in vain, and Datang will continue to lose precious metals... This problem will become even bigger.
But this memorial...
But it directly gave Li Er hope!
My mind was simply shaken.
Pirates are rampant?
yes……
There have been more and more pirates on the sea recently, and it’s not just the one that uses incendiary pellets - that bandit may be preparing for other actions recently, or maybe Chai Shao got the incendiary pellets allocated by the court to compete, and has become a lot more honest.
.
In addition to this family, there are definitely a large number of other pirates from all walks of life, all of whom are targeting passing merchants.
Under such circumstances...
If you want to formulate punitive measures yourself, you can't.
But wouldn’t it be enough to rely on the pirates to help you do it?
"Yeah...why didn't I think of..."
Li Er's face changed color and he looked shocked!
"Punitive measures do not necessarily require direct punishment. Selective protection is also punishment... Hahahahahaha! This memorial is so good!"
At this moment, Li Er felt that this memorial was so timely and absolutely perfect.
A few words seemed ordinary, but they directly gave me a perfect way to solve the problem of trade regulations!
This wave is simply...
Li Er felt it was outrageous, and he even found that he didn't know how to describe the ingenuity of this idea.
This memorial is definitely not just a report on the pirate problem.
This clearly concealed Datang's strategic intentions and directly pointed out the solution to this matter!
"This kind of talent...this is a genius who governs the country!"
Li Er was simply amazed.
Although it is just an extremely ordinary memorial, the layout of the temple and the details of the operation are all full!
Perfect!
What kind of talent can actually solve the problems that have troubled the entire Datang decision-making team for so long?
Li Er was moved instantly and made a decision in an instant!
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xiao Yu with a pair of tiger eyes, "Xiao Yu, tell me who wrote this memorial!"
"I want to enthrone You Pu She, alongside Wei Xuancheng!"
