Hearing the words of the emperor, Concubine Wu Hui could only sigh secretly. Now that the two families of King Zhang have become powerful, no other officials and forces can fight against them. The only one who can use the means is the emperor, but the emperor’s attitude is to show that he supports King Zhang. The two families do not know what the emperor is afraid of? How can anyone have the ability to fight from Luzhou to Beijing? I asked a few times and didn't ask any useful information.
Thinking about this, the smile on Concubine Wu Hui’s face grew brighter, and she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the cuckoo sent someone a dress to his concubines. The place that should be exposed has not been revealed, but the place that should not be exposed. It's all exposed, and the concubine wore it once, which is really shameful."
Li Longji naturally knew what kind of clothes it was. It was specially worn for women to seduce men. Queen Wang saw it the day before yesterday. The workmanship is meticulous and the materials used are exquisite. I heard people say that it was made by Xiaobao and the cuckoo, but I don’t know. The two children were fine to figure out what this thing was doing.
"Since it’s sent here, I’ll show it to me tonight. If I don’t do well, I will hold them accountable. Concubine Hui, you should not keep your own interests for the benefit of the country. It is easy to destroy one person, but it is difficult to rejuvenate a country. What's more, Zhang Wang's family does not mean that they can be destroyed if they can be destroyed.
If I know that you have a grievance in your heart, then press it in your heart. Don't take it out or turn it into action. There is no one to shake the Zhang family in Luzhou. Even if it is my will, you need to look at it in Luzhou. The face of the two families, as well as the 130,000 slaves of Tubo, oh, now it has become 160,000, which is estimated to be 200,000 in short time.
I know everything, but what can I do if I know? If the two of them want to deal with me, have you seen those weapons? Don't let me know, just take it out and use it on me. Tell me, who can I send? "
Li Longji's heart is so bright, he knows the power of King Zhang's family very well, but never mentions the weakening of the power of the two places.
Concubine Wu Hui seldom heard the emperor say such things to herself. Seeing the emperor talking about this today, her charming smile was slightly reduced, her brows were slightly frowned, and she said, "Your Majesty, then really ignore them? In case they want to sit. Your Majesty’s position..."
"I wanted to sit a long time ago. I also thought about it for a long time. I was worried, afraid, and helpless. Then I suddenly figured it out. The Zhang family didn’t want to be emperors, and Xiaobao and Juanjuan were not very respectful to me, look. Xiaobei can know that one by one, the emperor's uncles are yelling. In the eyes of Xiaobei's group of children, I am only old, so respect is not my identity.
When I finish approving the memorial tonight, I always think about it, why? Later, I wanted to understand, oh, if it was replaced by Xiaobei's statement, it would be enlightened. The Zhang family, especially Xiaobao and Juanjuan, should not like to be emperors. They just regarded Datang as theirs.
They want me to sit on the dragon chair all the time, and then follow them to make Datang stronger. Their minds are not placed on me, but on the people of Datang. It is a real people first. , Sheji is second, and the king is light. "
When Li Longji was talking, he felt that today was a little bit too much. He thought it might be because the weather was good, and the surrounding countries were gradually stabilizing, so many things in his mind could be let go.
After looking at Concubine Wu Hui’s doubtful eyes, she said: "The Zhang family started in Sanshui County. As long as the interests are involved, they will always make compromises when confronted with us. For example, they were afraid of us at the beginning. Now they don't need it at all.
Especially after the talents of Xiaobao and Juanjuan are revealed, they still do it as they were before. I want to play games with me, and I will play with them. Don’t think that they are afraid of me. I have already thought about them. They are afraid. It's not me, it's because I'm worried about the duel with me after the game won't go on.
They don’t want to hurt the entire Great Tang, um, they have this ability, so they will give in, let me continue the game, put the initiative in my hands, but our initiative is not because of the position of the emperor, but because of the Tang’s position. The people only got it, they were unwilling to fight a war that would disturb Datang.
Therefore, compared to them, I appear to be a bit more selfish. I care about the position they don’t care about. I care about the lives of the millions of people they care about. But I put the position first and the people second. I am afraid of them, too. Feel guilty, don't think about dealing with them in the future, I am a mortal, not as good as their minds like the sun and the moon. "
After saying this, Li Longji felt a lot more comfortable, and took another sip of wine, swept by the wind from the water, a relaxed feeling appeared on his body, slightly squinted, and enjoyed this rare holiday. .
The concubine Wu Hui next to her was silly. She never thought that the emperor’s positioning of the Zhang family was like this. Originally, she thought that the Zhang family would be the same as the other courtiers. It's not that simple.
Turning his eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, if you find all of them from the Zhang family's family in the capital, your Majesty invites them to dinner, and then..."
"Then they came over stupidly, without leaving anything behind, waiting for me to give them a glass of poisoned wine, or prepare three thousand swords? When they are really short-sighted? Let's not mention this."
Li Longji opened his eyes, looked at Concubine Wu Hui, and said with a sneer.
Concubine Wu Hui shrank her head and stopped speaking. She also understood how the Zhang and Wang family were so good at calculations, how could they be fooled.
"Your Majesty, good news, Your Majesty." When the two of them were speechless, Gao Lishi, who had left to collect the letter, ran back, raised his hand to the letter from the family, and shouted from a distance.
When he reached the lake, he quickly took off his extra clothes, leaving only a pair of swimming trunks, jumped into the lake amidst the thump, and swam towards Li Longji with his hands high.
Li Longji sat up, looked at Gao Lishi who was approaching, and laughed, "The water force of Lishi is gradually increasing."
"It's not that this lake is unsinkable." Gao Lishi, who stepped on the water, was humble.
In my heart, I knew that it was because I could get into the water often. I didn't like water before, mainly because of my body's shortcomings. I usually want to take a bath eight times a day to reduce the smell of fishy smell.
But now I don’t worry anymore. Little Treasure and Cuckoo brought a lot of things used by court ladies. They are clean and comfortable, and they can sterilize and deodorize. Who used to wear what kind of pants and the cover
Now they are all started to use. Xiaobao and Cuckoo said they were given to the girl in the palace, but the obviously larger panties felt that they were well-fitted, and they said they were for babies, but it was obviously OK. The paper panties in the baby's entire bag are clearly for their own use.
There is no peculiar smell on my body, so I dare to swim for a while, otherwise, how to improve the water level, this godson doesn't know it in vain.
Li Longji was also aware of this matter, watching Gao Lishi fluttering in the water, thinking that the group of eunuchs in the palace dared to wear cool and breathable clothes as the weather was hot, and he was equally happy.
"If you have any good news, tell me." When Gao Lishi swam closer, Li Longji asked when he looked at the letter in his hand.
Passing the envelope slightly stained with water, Gao Lishi swam around leisurely and said: "The minister hasn't read it yet. There is an extra flower on the envelope. Xiaobao will only draw it when there is good news. Your Majesty, take a look, what is said in it?"
"Oh? There really is a flower. Concubine Hui will also look at the letter from Lux." Li Longji nodded when he saw the pattern on the envelope.
Concubine Wu Hui first glanced at Gao Lishi cautiously, and saw that he had no objection, then moved closer, and the three of them opened the envelope together and watched.
"Oh... It is said that the river can be repaired in a few days, or the people of Silla pay the money. I didn't mention the specific situation. I think Xiaobao can't make a mistake. The following is about tariffs? What kind of tax is this? I enter from outside. The goods must be collected, but the goods that go out from the country will not be collected, and the merchant's money collected by the other party must be paid? Why?"
Li Longji looked at the letter, and said as if talking to himself, it was actually for Concubine Wu Hui and Gao Lishi.
Where does Concubine Wu Hui know why? His eyes were also puzzled, Gao Lishi thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, it was mentioned in Xiaobao's letter a few days ago. The minister thought it could not be used so early, so he didn't say it.
Tariffs are imposed for fear that things produced outside will impact the country. Xiaobao and their caravans always have to pay a sum of money in Pengzhouguan. Now it is for the people in Pengzhouguan to deposit the money in the Datang Bank and open one. It proves that if you save too much, you will send someone to the capital to give your ministers.
The minister said to your majesty last time, didn't your majesty say not to rush? The minister already had more than four hundred thousand vouchers in his hand, and he could take it out from the bank in the capital at any time. Of course, after taking it, he would take out a part and return it to Xiaobao. Your Majesty promised to give them tax exemption. "
Hearing Gao Lishi's words, Li Longji remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
Concubine Wu Hui didn't understand, and pointed to the issue of giving money to merchants who sold things out and asked: "Why do you want to give money to merchants? They sell things naturally and make money back to them?"
Gao Lishi explained: "Then it depends on what things, such as cloth and grain, are now being sold to Silla. Silla should learn from Xiaobao's 20% tax, which is 40%. Once the money is collected, the merchant must sell it more expensively in order to make money.
But Xiaobao didn't intend to let the merchant sell it so expensive. If he wanted to sell it at a price lower than the local price of Shilla, he had to compensate the merchant with money, so that the merchant did not pay. "
"What's the use of that?" Concubine Wu Hui asked again.
"It's very useful. One is to let the farmers of Silla do not farm, and the other is that Silla is impossible to subsidize their merchants. One of them is reluctant, and the other is unexpected. They want to rely on Xiaobao's means to At that time, the cargo throughput will be very large.
The impact on the local industries of Silla has also made the businessmen of Silla have resentment towards those in power. Without agriculture, it is unstable, and without business, it will not live. This is a policy to destroy the country. "
Gao Lishi licked his lips and said.
