Hearing what the minister said, Li Longji wanted to cough up a mouthful of sputum, and then vomit it on his face. When something happened, he thought of Wang Zhang's family. He was impeached just now. Can't people become so fast
Several other impeached people also agreed, and some even said that like Shu Zhou, let Zhang Zhong find a way to better see his ability.
It sounds good, isn't it just not letting the court pay? Li Longji looked at the small official of the household department and said to his heart, when it comes to spending money, you feel distressed, so why didn't you just say that
It is very easy to ask the Zhang family to contribute money. There is no need to make any will. Write a letter and tell them that it is not easy for the people on both sides of the Yellow River. They will naturally be willing to pay.
But if they really paid the money, what should the people who impeach them in the court today do? Moths are all moths. If you can't do good things, you can do such wicked things.
Li Longji kept his face calm and didn't make a sound, just staring at the speaker. The oppressive gaze of this kind of gaze is too strong. The person being stared at regrets it, so it's fine if he doesn't stand up.
Zhang said that he could also guess the emperor’s thoughts. This money can be paid by the Kings and Kings and the Kings and Kings are also willing to pay for the people. However, once the money is paid, the impeachment of Zhang Zhong will be the same. Don't think about it, or what will Zhang Zhong explain to him
Now there are two options. One is to issue an imperial decree and let Zhang Zhong take the money to repair the bridge, and then all those who impeached Zhang Zhong should go home and work on the land. Zhang Zhong paid the money.
Li Longji stared at the man for a while, and asked, "Do you think Zhang Zhong is willing to pay this money?"
"In response to your majesty, the minister thinks that Zhang Zhong must be willing. He is good to the people, as everyone knows, and the money he earns is never messy. Apart from building two houses for the children in his family, he usually costs little."
This person has been staring for a long time and became confused. He opened his mouth and said it. As soon as he said it, he knew that he was going to finish it. He was impeached just now. This time it changed. No one would be willing to change it.
Sure enough, Li Longji spoke, "In this case, I will order you to talk to Zhang Zhong and persuade him to pay. If he can't, you will do it, and you will find a way."
Li Longji is really not without money to repair bridges. In recent years, the fiscal revenue of the imperial court has been very good, especially Sanshuixian, Luzhou, and various places related to the business of Zhang and Wang’s family have given many, many taxes. .
Li Longji knows that this is not because the Zhang and Wang family can’t make money faster, but because they don’t want to. Recently, he also studied economic knowledge. The method used by the Zhang and Wang family is very gentle, based on improving productivity. It is not the kind of quasi-cash flow method used to deal with Tubo, nor is it the closest cash flow method used in Baoxin County to deal with the people of Sihai Academy.
Now I understand that it’s not that the Zhang family doesn’t, but they don’t use it. Otherwise, the financial impact on Datang’s business would be too severe. They would have more methods to make money. Businesses that cooperate with are not allowed to move their minds.
Therefore, the financial resources are still abundant. Let the Zhang and Wang families pay for the bridge. It can also drive the local economy, but the return cycle is too long. If the Zhang and Wang families are allowed to directly use the money, They will use other means to transfer this part of the money to other areas.
This is a magical method that can also drive various industries in the region. This is the most important thing. Of course, the Zhang and Wang family's money is too much, and they are also worried about not letting them spend it.
According to Yao Chong and Bi Gou, the money made by Zhang Wang’s family will be used in other areas according to a certain proportion. It is all infrastructure construction. People don’t keep so much money in their hands. Home seems to be the easiest thing, so people don't care how much they spend, they just look at whether the flowers are worth it or not.
Li Longji thought about this, and regardless of the person below who was trembling on his knees, he whispered to Gao Lishi again: "You said money is worth where it is spent, and where it is not worth it."
Gao Lishi didn’t react this time. The main reason was that Li Longji’s thoughts jumped too much. The reason is that Xiaobao and Juanjuan are all to blame. When they act, their thinking jumps even more, and no one knows what they want to do. The things that were clearly in front of me turned out to be different in the end.
Gao Lishi knew that he had not kept up, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the place where you spend money is worth it. The minister also agrees to build a bridge on the Yellow River and let King Zhang's family pay the money. Having said that, he and Juanjuan prepared two hundred thousand guanxi and asked if there was any need in the court.
They can't use the money now, and they want to take advantage of the not-too-long period of time in the beginning of the spring, and use it for the country's infrastructure, saying that when a son is a son, he always wants to save his father's face. "
Speaking of Gao Lishi's mood, he kept going ups and downs. This son didn’t recognize him in vain. He really had a long face. After less than three months of acknowledging him, he was immediately willing to put out 200,000 sticks. I knew that the money was not. I gave it for nothing, just for my own sake.
Li Longji was surprised. Looking at Gao Lishi, if he didn't think Gao Lishi was loyal enough, he wanted to grab his son now, Xiaobao would come out with 200,000 sticks in no trouble? With his methods, he can use these two hundred thousand guanxi to make more money in a short period of time, and he actually took it out to save the face of the strong man.
After thinking about it for a moment, regardless of the person who was kneeling there and talking insults, Li Longji continued to say to Gao Lishi: "These two hundred thousand sticks cannot be used, and it is not easy for Xiaobao and the cuckoo to make some money, unless they are allowed to come. Other countries make money. In Datang, they make all their money.
I just asked you just now. I just want to say whether the Zhang family’s money is worth it or not. It’s not about how much benefit they can bring to their homes, but whether they can make the life of the people easier. Many times, his home is there. Put money into it, what should you do if you say that two families like this? "
Gao Lishi’s thinking will keep up. It is so, it is easy to handle, so he said: "Your Majesty, the Zhang family can no longer be promoted. Zhang Zhong estimates that he will enter the capital next year. At one point, it's nothing more than a seventh-rank official. If you come to Beijing, you can press down to the eighth rank, unlike the locals, you can get the seventh-rank.
The Zhang and Wang family will not ask for any financial rewards. Their family is not short of money. It is better to look at other aspects. Wang Qiaoer's family is still OK, but it is too idle, isn't it..."
"Alright, that's it." Li Longji understood as soon as he heard it, and he needed to find the people who had been let out because of the slander and persecution of the crowd, make arrangements again, and nodded in agreement.
At this time, the official of the Ministry of Households was still kneeling, his forehead was red. It looked like he had just kowtow. It was not easy. In this court, there are really not many officials kneeling and kowtow. Just because of an order, he changed like this. Up.
Li Longji was very free from his hatred. He didn’t say that Zhang Zhong was impeached by others, but because he went to the sky in a hot air balloon. Of course, Zhang Zhong should not be impeached either. Impeachment can be done, but it cannot be based on the wealth and ability of Wang Wang’s family. Impeachment, for example, they have corrupted the law. Impeachment is fine in this regard.
If you have to withdraw money, it won’t work. Not only is the money from the Zhang family used to help the court, the more important thing is that you have received the benefits of the Zhang family’s impeachment against this point. Is that right? Even though I am not satisfied with my benefits
Seeing the officials kneeling and knocking their heads, Li Longji didn't have any pity at all. He knew that if the impeacher was let go this time, it would have chilled the hearts of the kings and the family, and he might never treat him again in the future. The good stuff came out.
So Li Longji said to the people below: "Just make this decision at this time. You take my will to find Zhang Zhong."
After speaking, I stopped paying attention to this matter, and talked about other aspects. The ministers seemed to have nothing happened just now, and they also started talking about other things.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know that their family was about to pay again, and the people who benefited were not their own family in the end, but the family of their mother Zhang Wang's family.
Two people don't know, but it doesn't matter if they know, because their current plan is going very smoothly. As long as they don't hinder their plan, financial matters are trivial.
"Xiaobao, are you really going to do something with Tubo? Tubo is relatively honest now." Wang Juan asked when Zhang Xiaobao was writing a letter to send to Tubo.
"Of course I know that they are honest. They don't want to be honest, but they can't beat you, and financially, they can only be patient. I won't give them any chance. I will deal with death, or I will send it out. Wouldn't it be a waste of such a long time for people to lay out.
You killed their people because they acted on the people of Wangjiang. I cleaned up their economy because they dared to take the initiative to play an economic war with me. I have to teach them well. Their methods are still too great. Let them know what it is like when the economic war really fought. "
Zhang Xiaobao kept the pen in his hand, and there was a ciphered copy next to it. The letter sent this time could not be written directly, so as not to be blocked by others, it had to be written as a secret letter.
Wang Juan really didn't know Zhang Xiaobao's specific plan, and he didn't even know how far Zhang Xiaobao was going to clean up Tubo. The main reason was that once Zhang Xiaobao was put into operation, the steps to do things were hard to figure out.
"Xiaobao, tell me the truth, what is your ultimate goal?" Wang Juan asked when he couldn't think of it himself.
"It's nothing. Let them have a slight impact on Tubo's finances, so that they don't know what is worth and what is not worth. Since I want to fight an economic war, naturally it will not be aimed at a certain area of Tubo. What is an economic war? The real war is against the country, such as the United States against Japan a long time ago, for example, they are more Russia.
For example, against the British pound, against the Thai baht, such as against the Hong Kong dollar, such as against the Korean won, such as against... "
"I know, don't tell me, you are a bit too cruel, and ah, when targeting the Hong Kong dollar, he collapsed and fell into the sand. You just want to mess up Tubo's finances, right? They won't be able to recover in ten years, right?"
Wang Juan did not wait for Zhang Xiaobao to finish explaining and then said that there were not many people who knew finance at that time, so they couldn't hold it, but when Zhang Xiaobao and himself were in that era, there were really people who could continue to make trouble like Zhang Xiaobao. It's very rare.
That requires more difficult skills, and the way of jumping is even more surprising. It is not something that can be imitated by just finding an example. Any kind of method, as long as it is exposed, will be immediately known to people. Zhang Xiaobao has never repeated the method once to make people He gritted his teeth in hate, and there was no way, after all, every time was different, and there was never a rule.
If you have to talk about regularity, then Zhang Xiaobao will definitely use other means to pave the way, but it can be seen that there are too few people who pave the way. There are as few as one or two people who have the same aspirations as Zhang Xiaobao. They are partners in cooperation.
Zhang Xiaobao was still writing, and at the same time he said: "It's not ten years. I let them never turn over. I give Li Longji a reason for aggression. Oh, no, it's a reason for peace. Wait, this time I So Tubo was completely resolved. I don't want to wrestle with them. I don't have that time."
"Then I'll just wait and see what you can do. Your father is coming over and you have to figure out how to receive it." Wang Juan didn't ask this time. She hoped that she could guess Zhang Xiaobao's method. Believe it or not, Zhang Xiaobao can really be mad to such an extent that no one can match.
"Don't be your father and your father, that's your father-in-law, he will take care of you if he doesn't obey." Zhang Xiaobao was in a good mood, and casually joked with Wang Juan.
Just as Wang Juan wanted to refute, he fell silent again, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao was a little surprised. Normally, Wang Juan should be tit-for-tat. He stopped writing, turned his head and thought about Wang Juan and asked, "Why, admit your identity, then give me a little behaved."
Wang Juan still didn't speak, and just watched, until Zhang Xiaobao couldn't write, he said, "Don't play tricks on me, haven't I learned anything about psychology? Only you are great, huh!"
"You are good at it, right? I will ask someone to find some mountain vegetables, and I will make a box for you at noon. What soup do you want to go with?" Zhang Xiaobao saw that Wang Juan was not fooled, so he had to change his strategy.
"I'll eat whatever you eat, and ah, my family has also come over, you write quickly, let's go to meet you, I will live with my mother tonight, not with you."
Wang Juan had already received the news. Zhang Zhong took the people into the county immediately and needed to be greeted. He also thought that he hadn't seen his family for a long time.
"Who cares about you? I will tell Xiaoyuan a story tonight, and I won't accompany you anymore." Zhang Xiaobao wrote two more words and finally wrote a secret letter.
"You are not allowed to tell ghost stories. If you dare to scare him, I will never end with you." Wang Juan said while helping Zhang Xiaobao to receive the letter in the envelope.
"If you don’t tell me, I won’t talk about it. I’ll tell him about other things. First, I will meet with the people from Sihai Academy. They came to invite us today, and I don’t know what the idea is. Will it be finished?"
Zhang Xiaobao rubbed his sore wrist while writing and said.
"We have confiscated the ore, but no one else collects the remaining ore. They can’t sell it anymore. I’ll just say, why are you not in a hurry? It turns out that you had such a plan a long time ago. Why do they sell their ore? Isn't it because we have received it before?"
When Wang Juan followed Zhang Xiaobao out, she asked incomprehensibly, she felt that things would never be so simple.
Zhang Xiaobao walked in the forefront. This time the people from Sihai Academy placed the meeting place in Fengwu Pavilion, and said as they walked: "In fact, it's nothing, it's very simple, because we haven't refined it since we received the silver. Other people don't know. Ah, I thought it was because the refinement was unsuccessful, so they were afraid of being fooled.
And now the local infrastructure is under construction. Except for some people who did not follow us, other businessmen have invested their money. Where there is spare money to buy ores, and those who did not act with us do not want to, but Because they have less capital, they are the same people who speculated on the silver price with them some time ago.
In fact, I really hope that someone from outside will come and plug in that. Then I will be able to relax a lot. As long as others have contradictions in a certain aspect, I can make use of it. Unfortunately, this county is still not enough. Come. "
"No, why don't you come? Others know that the benefits can be gained here and they won't come. You think that everyone else is a fool, because you and I are here, and other people are worried that they will really come here and be given by the two of us. Do some calculations, what they worry about the most is actually me. They are afraid that if I take away all their money, they will not be able to beat it."
Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao.
The two of them talked like this and walked until they arrived at Fengwu Pavilion. Once inside, a guy came over and told them which room the two from Sihai Academy were in.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, a group of people stood up. Yes, a group of people seemed to feel that there was no imposing presence. The people from Sihai Academy did not come here this time, and Yamamoto stood at the forefront. , Said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very politely:
"The two are here, why don't you ask someone to come over and tell me first, I'll wait to meet them." The others also quietly followed behind.
Zhang Xiaobao was not willing to talk nonsense with others at all, and said directly: "Let’s talk about it. If you want to take advantage of something, I don’t need to take advantage of it. It’s not that I despise you. You have no effect at all with your methods. ."
"Yes, yes, with Master Zhang, it is impossible for me to take advantage of it. I am not looking for two people to take advantage of it. Especially for Wang Xiaomao, there is no idea of taking advantage of it." The one next to Yamamoto Looking at the people from Japan, they seemed unwilling to lose their momentum, and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Others never thought that he would speak like this. The aura is not important, what is important is how to get the benefits. Listening to him say this, you know that things are going to go bad.
Sure enough, what Zhang Xiaobao was most disgusted with was that others used women to talk about things. He kicked him out when he heard this man's words. He hit the man's lifeblood and fell to the ground with a scream. Zhang Xiaobao didn't take a second look, yes. Said to others:
"I was in a good mood when I came over today, but because of him, I was very unhappy. So when I was discussing things with you, the first thing I said was to decide. There will be no room for negotiation. If there is dissatisfaction, Yes, you can leave immediately. I promise to close the Sihai Academy within five days and try if you are not satisfied."
The scene suddenly fell into a deadlock. When everyone lamented that Zhang Xiaobao was not good at speaking, it was more of a complaint to people who hadn't gotten up on the ground. It was not good to say anything. You must mention Wang Juan alone. This is not seeking death. What.
Wang Juan also spoke at this time, "Even if Xiaobao closed the Sihai Academy, as long as your actions make us unsatisfied, I promise to organize a war fleet within half a month and visit you. "
This is power. People with power never say anything else to others. When does Datang need to show favor to other small countries? Especially in the current situation.
Everyone sighed secretly, there is no way, who can make two people powerful, even if the other party only has two people now, they and others dare not do anything about it.
The people of Datang didn't dare to do it because they were afraid of the end of their family. The Japanese didn't dare to do it because they were afraid that Datang would attack their own country, and they all showed helpless smiles.
Fortunately, Yamamoto has a good concentration. After listening to what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, he still smiled just now, and replied: "This is naturally to find two people to discuss something. I will deal with the offending two people. I don't know if the two of you agree?"
"That's your business. If you are willing to clean up, you can clean up. Unwilling to clean up has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about it. What is it for you to come and find us this time?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't regard the other party as someone who could sit on an equal footing, and he seemed very arrogant.
But it was because of his arrogance that made the other party feel more comfortable. They were afraid that Zhang Xiaobao would be polite to them, and that would not be easy to talk about. Then look at Wang Juan, Wang Juan's face was as calm as water without a smile.
It's easy to handle, so it's easy to handle.
Yamamoto called the guy who came to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes casually. He didn't ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to order any more. He knew the identities of the two. If they were to order casually, I guess they wouldn't want to eat dinner today.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sat in the first place and left the upper hand directly. They didn't care whether they ordered or not. Yamamoto had ordered the food and asked Zhang Xiaobao with a smile: "I don't know Mr. Zhang but wants to buy more ore? I can help Mr. Zhang find it. a place."
"It doesn’t matter whether you buy or not. The only place you can find is your country. If you are willing to sell, I will pay a low price. If you don’t want to sell, you will keep it. I am going to write a memorial and send it to the imperial court so that the imperial court will send individual Japan. Limit what you need."
Zhang Xiaobao still looks just now, arrogant and casual.
Yamamoto's face also changed, his eyes squinted, and it took a few breaths before he returned to the original state, and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding between Master Zhang and us?"
"No misunderstanding, just because you are not pleasing to your eyes, you can talk today. If you can’t talk, go back and think about where you should intervene and where you should not intervene. Don’t think that you should gather people in a certain place and talk more. Talking nonsense can achieve the goal, it's useless."
The negotiation method Zhang Xiaobao will use today is this, tough, because he is not ready to negotiate anything at all, so he is here to play.
