"Does the officials have important discussions today?"
With the arrival of midsummer, the rain has been getting more and more in recent days, the sky is gray, as if it is about to fall, some people feel panting, some people feel a bit of coolness, the Hanyuan Palace is up early, and the ministers are in place. Li Longji was late, and as soon as he sat down firmly, the court minister asked the court officials.
The ministers knew that the emperor was in a good mood today and had something great to say.
Therefore, you don't have to say something that is not too important for you to say, and you can just write a memorial and hand it over when you go back and organize it.
This is what Li Longji meant when he was sitting there. He was about to speak, so let others not speak out.
But the courtiers who are usually very tacit, but one person has come forward today.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard about it. At the beginning of last month, Jiliju sent fast horses to send messages all around to conquer wealthy merchants from Gyeonggi Province, Kannai Road, Hadong Province, Metropolitan Province, Henan Province, Shannan Province, Jiangnan Province, etc. Going to Jili Prefecture, I wonder if any other officials know about it?"
It was Zhang said that his face was not so good-looking, he said something, and stood still, looking back and forth on the opposite row of officials.
Li Longji was taken aback. He really hadn’t heard of this. Recently, he always went to the Ministry of Engineering for a stroll. He spent a lot of time with Zhang Zhong, and occasionally came back with dust. The main reason was that he was involved in a very big topic. Now, he thinks he played a key role in it, and he wants to show off if he succeeded today.
Before thinking about it, Zhang said that he didn't give him this opportunity, and he had to stand up and talk about it. Once he said that he was from Jilizhou, what did Zhang say about him
Other officials also had their own ideas. How could Jilizhou convene several merchants from Baijifu County to go over, so how could they be unclear? But Zhang said that he came out and talked about it. Is it because he feels his life is more comfortable and feels awkward
Who doesn't know that the emperor forbids others to trouble Jilizhou? Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are busy hitting the back of the head over there, how can they have the time and energy to deal with the impeachment on the capital side and defend themselves
Half a month ago, the Jiangnanxi Road flooded, and news came the day before yesterday. As soon as the Jiangnanxi Road news arrived, a pigeon flew over from Jilizhou, saying that relief supplies from Fulu around Jiangnanxi Road were already being deployed. Finished, on the way to Jiangnan Xidao.
You can understand with your feet that this is the reaction speed of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. There are pigeon stations all over the country, and the pigeons will go ahead if the horse is not coming out.
At that time, I heard two kinds of news that came one after another. I and the others were relieved. The emperor was obviously relieved. Before the joy was over, Zhang said he jumped out again. What on earth did he want to do
Li Longji is also in this mind. Xiaobao and Juanjuan are so busy, they have to take care of the development of northern Hebei Province, especially the exploitation of resources in the Heishui Metropolitan Government. Relying entirely on Datang, and coordinating the trading funds in their own homes, as well as the system of the Datang Bank, plus the Jiangnan Xidao disaster relief to mobilize goods in the name of the imperial court, can they not let them be less stressed
Looking at Zhang Shuo's face, it must not be a case of praising Xiaobao and Juanjuan.
As he thought about it, Li Longji's complexion was as dark as the sky. He turned to look at Gao Lishi standing beside him. He wondered what Xiaobao and Juanjuan had done, and why so many merchants from the prefecture and counties were mobilized to Jilizhou. .
Gao Lishi really knew that he thought it was a trivial matter. It had nothing to do with the administration of finding a merchant to go to Jilizhou, so he didn't take the time to tell the emperor. Seeing the emperor looking at him, he moved two steps forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Xiaobao’s letter mentioned this. Now that Jilizhou has no shortage of population and sufficient resources, there are too few people going to travel, and there is a bottleneck in development, so I want to find more wealthy people to go. Experience the scenery and scenery there, so as to further drive the local economy.
The reason for finding merchants in the past is to discuss new technology application and distribution issues. Some of the first military technologies can be used for people’s livelihood, such as the processing technology of a generation of lathes, and the cleaning of acid and alkali, which can make a lot of cheap Washing powder and soap.
Now my Datang breeding technology is gradually improving, more grease is left, which can be collected and processed by merchants, and there are also fire-starters, which is the match you see, your majesty, which is more convenient than the scythe, so keep it closer, and The smooth-travel businessmen find them and do multiple things. "
"Oh..." Li Longji suddenly said, "It turns out that it's like this. So, can Xiaobao and the cuckoo have time to do something else? I think the two of them should be prime ministers."
Li Longji whispered to Gao Lishi, then turned his face to look at Zhang said, who had been standing there for a while, and asked: "I already know what Zhang Qing said. I wonder if Zhang Qing has other things? "
Zhang said that he knew that the emperor was going to be biased again, but he had to bite the bullet and say, otherwise, what is the use of this Zhongshu Ling
The army’s affairs were originally arranged by themselves, but now they have achieved the contribution of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s volunteer soldiers. The relationship between neighboring countries should also be decided by the book order, but the two of them intervened and settled it again. Economically. I can't manage Datang Bank by myself.
In terms of agriculture, we don’t know about nesting and hybridization. The arms factory is still controlled by the Zhang and Wang family. Even the bridge and road repairs during transportation can’t be heard.
The most annoying thing is the arrangement of official positions. Why should Zhang Xiaobao and the others say that they should be assigned to which position? When the official department does not exist? Which book is a decoration
"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that what Zhang Cishi of Jilizhou did was wrong. For one thing, it was a waste of money and the people. They transferred a few merchants to Jilizhou. The journey was not close and the expenses were huge. Dao people can be prosperous; the two, our technology is ahead of the surrounding areas, of course, put in the hands of merchants, fearing that the spies may gain; the three, as a state governor, can adjust us to merchants from all over the country with one word, it is bound to be great. If it seems to be useful, it will be difficult to control in the future, so your majesty please think twice."
Zhang said Luo listed three things. If he hadn’t known that the emperor would not allow anyone to impeach Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan face-to-face in court, he really wanted to put the charges against him.
Li Longji listened to what Zhang said and did not directly express any opinions. Instead, he looked at other courtiers, "Does the princes have something to say?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, and the minister thinks that what Zhang Zhongshu is talking about is not a concern. If he says that he is using his power for private purposes, the minister impeaches Zhang Zhongshu for personal gain, arbitrarily promotes officials with whom he is good, and keeps meeting with the court in private letters. , I hope your Majesty will verify."
At this moment, an official suddenly stood up and said to Li Longji.
