People who can come up with such ingenious methods are simply like gods in the eyes of Wei Zheng and others.
Why don’t Li Er??
In an instant, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were filled with questions.
What's going on? You don't want this. Your Majesty suddenly gave up on the construction of Datang and started to ruin it?
this……
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"This person is among the people. If someone recruits him to rebel, how can we resist him?"
"Your Majesty, the talents displayed in this memorial are completely the talents of Zhang Liang and Zhuge. How can we not do this?"
"If Your Majesty is unwilling to break the rules and violate the rules of the staff, we will have no choice but to remonstrate. This person must not be released!"
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty!"
In the midst of everyone's confused eyes and chatter, Li Er casually said something...
"Because this person is none other than your eldest prince."
"Now that the time has not come, how do you want me to summon His Highness to the court? Okay, I have given you all the prescriptions. Let's go get some medicine to treat Datang's illness. The meeting is adjourned!"
The word "dismissal" is also a buzzword in Hangzhou Industrial Zone. Although he doesn't know the origin, Li Er went on a trip and somehow learned it... Wei Zheng and others all know what it means.
And the moment I heard Li Er's words...
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling...
I was originally very excited, but the expression on my head was like a punctured ball, and then I was suppressed in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, his face immediately returned to calmness!
I even felt that today’s meeting was a bit boring…
On the way out of Ganlu Hall, Wei Zheng smiled bitterly.
"This is a big joke. The Tang Dynasty is once again facing a dilemma, but the First Prince breaks the situation again. We are really... eating the emperor's salary and living like a king... shameful, shameful!"
Wei Zheng simply blamed himself so much. How could His Highness the First Prince always be so resourceful...
Is there really a chosen person in this world?
Wait, His Highness the First Prince, this status can be regarded as the chosen one... uh... that's okay...
After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling on the side, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Du Ruhui directly said sadly, "Oh, I was so excited for a long time, and as expected, His Highness took action again. We are all bastards... Sigh, maybe
We don’t have any talents to assist the government at all, damn..."
Fang Xuanling also said sadly, "Not only is today boring, but looking back on the two months of suffering, everything is boring..."
Wei Zheng shook his head. For some reason, he seemed to have suddenly thought about it, and his spirits suddenly lifted.
"You don't have to be discouraged. We are just waiting to compare with Your Highness. Although it is like a firefly compared to a bright moon, it still has some effect... At least when Your Majesty goes to court, someone will make up for it, right..."
…
But he said that Li Er finally found the correct wealth password.
Use selective military support to carry out an operation similar to exporting infrastructure, and then select merchants to participate in the sea trade trend.
If it is in line with the imperial court's strategy, you will be rewarded, tax reduced, subsidized, sent to sea to be guarded by the Imperial Guard, and you will have to consider whatever pirates want to attack...
But if it doesn't conform to the court's strategy, then I'm sorry.
First of all, forget about welfare policies such as tax cuts and subsidies.
The second and more serious thing is that if you, as a merchant, want to do this... Then go and confront the pirates yourself. There are top-notch armed pirates with burning dan...
This time, Li Er finally discovered that the effect of the decree was no longer as "scraping" as before. The decree issued clearly provided great welfare benefits, but the effect was not very good.
This time, the court announced many detailed rules.
What are the specific details? That is...
In order to allow as many people as possible in the Tang Dynasty to have their own business, the merchants who sailed out to sea had to cooperate with the merchants who set up workshops, shops, and even factories like Feng Xiao Yu to help them sell goods.
The reason is very simple. With the support of maritime merchants, merchants who open shops can have business, and even stable large-scale business.
And with a stable large-scale business, only talents with various skills can have their own careers, right?
This decree was implemented by Li Er in the spirit of "pacifying people's livelihood." No one could find fault with it, and no angle or opportunity was given to refute it.
In this way, the promulgation and implementation of government orders will naturally go smoothly.
If the decree goes smoothly, the subsequent impact can be imagined!
In just a few months, in the midsummer of the fourth year of Zhenguan, almost all the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty sailing in the South China Sea turned into foreign trade merchant ships!
Gold, silver...
Real high-value assets, namely precious metals, have also begun to flow into China...
Li Er's decree this time can be described in four words.
A big win!
but……
While Li Er won a great victory, some derivative phenomena also gradually occurred.
First, the public discovered that the prices of overseas goods had quietly begun to rise for some reason, and they were rising rapidly...
Although there is no explosive news, the price remains the same every day.
The shopkeepers and shopkeepers in various prefectures, counties and cities throughout the Tang Dynasty are a group of people who know a lot about economics and business. However, even they cannot explain why, because the purchase price of exotic goods from overseas is getting more and more expensive.
certainly……
Imports of exotic goods from overseas also come from maritime merchants.
Among these bosses and shopkeepers, there are still many relatively high-level ones who can purchase goods directly from maritime merchants or know some maritime merchants.
These shopkeepers know something about why the prices of exotic goods from overseas have increased...
But after all, they are just shopkeepers, and they cannot analyze Li Er's strategic layout. They only know that the sea has not been peaceful recently. Due to the prosperity of trade and the increase of maritime merchants, many pirates have emerged from the sea...
These pirates are wreaking havoc, which causes the prices of exotic goods from overseas to rise!
As for the raging pirates, what are the imperial guards doing...
Theoretically speaking, this decree is not without costs. For example, the reputation of the Imperial Army will be damaged.
But after all, the Tang Dynasty was different from other ordinary and relatively decadent dynasties.
The prestige of the Forbidden Army has not been affected much, and... the imperial court is not without explanation.
A large number of imperial troops still have to defend the northern territory and suppress the Hulu in the grassland.
As for the fleet in the South China Sea, they have to be busy, right? After all, more and more pirates have caused the price to skyrocket recently... It is normal and reasonable that the strength of the Forbidden Army is not enough in terms of design.
In this way, everything is arranged properly!
If it were in later generations, rising commodity import prices would really affect people's livelihood and often cause social problems, but this problem did not exist in the era of the Tang Dynasty.
However, no matter how beautiful the world is, there are also unfortunate people, such as Wu Xing Qi Wang, Wang Jing and others...
Wang Jing has recently discovered that sea trade is increasingly losing money!
