Li Xuan naturally thought about what Murong Hua said and understood the truth, but he didn't take it very seriously.

What Li Xuandu was most troubled was not the several palace-like battles between the upper classes, but how to change the construction of the lower class.

The whole world is like a pavilion. What kind of foundation determines what kind of pavilion can be built. In other words, the lower building determines the superstructure, so if you want to change the pavilion, you must change it from the bottom up.

With Li Xuandu alone, he could only change the superstructure, but could not change the extremely vast substructure. This required a powerful regime to do it.

That's why the Earth Master must be obsessed with being the emperor, and Li Xuandu also needs to join forces with Liaodong.

Li Xuandu had several letter exchanges with Qin Qing when promoting new coins, because private monies have become popular and bad coins are rampant, resulting in chaotic circulation and complicated conversion. If the currency system can be reformed, it will be beneficial to people's livelihood, two will improve tax revenue, and three will be to crack down on the prestige of the Great Wei court. If an orthodox court cannot even be able to do a unified currency, then what is there to say?

As for why the court could not implement it, it has a certain relationship with fire consumption. The so-called "fire consumption" refers to the cost of melting and recasting the broken silver into silver ingots. Zhang Suqing began the trial of the new policy as early as the reign of Emperor Muzong. One of them was that all taxes were levied and paid to the national treasury. The broken silver paid by the people into silver ingots will be melted and recasted into silver ingots.

When Zhang Suqing died and his people died, the new policy gradually became a means for officials to make money. The "fire consumption" added during taxation is greater than the actual "fire consumption", and the difference belongs to the officials. In recent years, the "fire consumption" has been increasing. Generally, the fire consumption in prefectures is two or three cents per twelve, or even four or five cents. The remote prefectures and counties have less taxes, and the fire consumption is several times higher than that of the regular tax. Although the court has issued a ban, it does not work and has made acquiesces in the future.

This is also the problem that Li Xuandu discovered when he went to Liaodong. The regular tax in Liaodong was heavier than the imperial court, but no people complained. The imperial court had very few regular taxes, but it made the heavens angry and the people resented, and the imperial treasury was still deficient every year. In addition to the reasons of too many miscellaneous taxes and layered exploitation, this fire consumption is also one of the important reasons.

If silver coins are used uniformly, there is no need to recast the silver, and the "fire consumption" will be eliminated. This involves the financial path of countless officials. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. How can it be implemented?

Qin Qing also agreed with Li Xuandu's opinion, because the change of new coins this time only changed from silver to silver coins, which was not as much as Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty, so the risk was not great. Moreover, the key to minting money lies in the materials, that is, the materials for real money and silver and anti-counterfeiting methods. Taiping Money Bank did a good job, and it was difficult for anyone to compare with it. In addition, since this dynasty, the silver notes of major monetary banks have gradually changed from deposit and withdrawal certificates to exchanges. There are countless private ticket numbers and are also recognized by the court. Therefore, Qin Qing finally agreed to Li Xuandu's proposal to mint and promote new coins by Taiping Money Bank.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xuandu decided to invite Mrs. Lu to join Taiping Inn, and the official will govern the financial power.

Compared with Mrs. Lu, Murong Hua's advantage lies in being familiar with the situation in the imperial and capital, having his own connections and intelligence sources, and having clear ideas. He can act as a qualified adviser and give advice to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu asked, "In your opinion, how should we be prepared?"

Murong Hua said: "The Confucian Sect wants the mantis to stalk the cicada and oriole behind, or to be a profitable fisherman. The key is that the Confucian Sect can be outside the situation and watch the wall. When the situation is clear, they will decide to enter the game. We naturally have to do the opposite, not let the Confucian Sect have the opportunity to watch the wall, completely muddle the water, and pull them into the game in advance. As long as they are in the game, there will be no so-called loss-making damage."

Li Xuan leaned on the back of the chair and fell into deep thought: "If we were people from Confucianism, how should we look at it on the wall?"

Murong Hua pondered: "If the Empress Dowager is unwilling to sit and wait for death and takes the initiative to attack... We have to face the challenge in a hurry, then the initiative to help fulfill the obligations of allies is in the hands of the Confucian Sect. With the Confucian style of conduct, it should delay and wait and see. If we win a big victory, they may not dare to take risks, and it should be just a icing on the cake. But if we only win or even lose, the Confucian Sect will immediately turn against each other."

Li Xuandu said: "Senior Sister Murong means that the Confucians will make things from the Empress Dowager, but now the imperial party and the Empress Dowager are incompatible. How can the Confucians persuade the Empress Dowager?"

"I have just said that over the years, the Confucian sect has deeply penetrated the royal family and the royal family. The emperor's children die at a loss at any time, so it must be the people in the palace. Moreover, the Confucian sect has a habit of playing idle chess. A piece that was accidentally left unconsciously many years ago cannot be far-sighted, but just doing it casually. Many years later, it may be the key to changing the situation." Murong Hua said slowly, "This is also the advantage of the Confucian sect's many years of operation. It can take decades to cultivate a large number of chess pieces. Hundreds of idle chess pieces are useless, and ninety-nine chess pieces are useless. One piece is useful, which is also a profit. This is Mr. Qingping's biggest deficit. The time is too short and too little."

Li Xuan understood a little and sighed: "In the world, you have me and I have you."

Murong Hua continued: "Although I have no real evidence, I infer that there is also a secret devil by the Confucian sect around me. No matter what, it took only twenty years for the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, but the Confucian sect began to be arranged since the Renzong period and passed on from generation to generation, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Even if the Empress Dowager is quick-witted, she cannot guarantee that all her men are loyal and reliable. Maybe one of her confidants who started to work for her before she became famous was also a casual chess piece that the Confucian sect had set up at the time."

Shangguan Wan spoke: "It is indeed possible. When the Empress Dowager was in its prime, these people might not betray the Empress Dowager, or even no longer abide by the orders of the Confucian clan. Now the Empress Dowager is in a turmoil and no one wants to bury the Empress Dowager. Their Confucian clan identity has become a way out. They will definitely get in touch with the Confucian clan again and strive to make a fortune and lose their sins."

Lu Yanbing said: "If you think more deeply, maybe the Confucian Sect has never used these secrets, just to wait for a suitable opportunity, and now is undoubtedly the best time."

Murong Hua nodded and said, "What Sister Shangguan and Sister Lu said is right. The key now is not who the secret son of the Confucian sect is, but to consider that the Confucian sect really told the Empress Dowager to attack. How should we deal with it?"

Shangguan Wan hesitated and said, "Avoid the battle?"

Murong Hua shook his head and said, "In my opinion, we should follow the plan and pull the Confucian Sect into the water."

Li Xuandu asked, "How do you pull it into the water?"

Murong Hua's eyes flashed with light: "The Confucian school likes to suppress people with moral integrity and kill people. We might as well give them the same way, find ways to pretend to be the people of the descendants or push the descendants to attack the imperial party in the name of the Empress Dowager, or even attack the young emperor. Aren't they shouting for the righteousness of the monarch and ministers all day long and righteous? Those civil officials and ordinary Confucian disciples will use moral integrity to force the great figures of the Confucian school to take action."

This strategy has a complete style of the Earth Master. Before Li Xuan could speak, Shangguan Guan, who was studying under the Earth Master, nodded in agreement and said, "I secretly controlled several young masters of aristocratic families, all of whom are the children of the Later Party. Among them is Yang Lu's nephew Yang Tianfeng, who can play some roles."

Lu Yanbing added: "These people alone cannot do it, but there are also several key figures, such as King Jin, King Tang, and Liu Yi."

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. There is a secret son in the Confucian sect, and we also have a secret son. There is a woman next to the King of Tang Xu Zaixu. He is his lover and half of her think tank. Xu Zaixu obeys her words, and this person is the female official of the Female Sect. As long as the senior brother gives orders to Mrs. Leng and does something, he is not afraid that the King of Tang will not get involved in the trap."

Speaking of this, the three women all looked at Li Xuandu. The three of them were just giving advice, and the one who made the decision was Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu pondered and said, "This method is feasible. What if the seven hermits of Confucian schools still endure to endure and force and not take action?"

"The Empress Party attacked, but the Imperial Party did not dare to fight back. What would those Imperial Party members think? What would the Empress Party members think?" Murong Hua asked back.

Shangguan Wan said: "The people's hearts of the Imperial Party are about to disperse, and the people in the Later Party will feel that this is a good opportunity."

Murong Hua whispered: "Water has no constant momentum, and soldiers have no constant shape. The key is to adapt to the situation. If this is really reached, why can't we join forces with the Queen Mother? Let the Confucian Sect suffer a great loss."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Things of betrayal damage to credibility and cannot be done in the long run."

Murong Hua immediately said, "Then let's withdraw from the imperial capital for the time being, and we will watch it on the wall."

Lu Yanbing asked, "What if the Confucian Sect and the Queen Mother joined forces to attack us?"

Murong Hua smiled and said, "It must be impossible, there are two reasons."

"For the Confucian school, moral integrity is a double-edged sword, and it hurts others and oneself. They said that the Empress Dowager "The Hen Shichen" has been in chaos for so many years, and she has to believe it. It is difficult for the ship to turn around. If you want to turn the bow of the ship in such a short time, you must capsize. This is one of them."

"It is inevitable that the two parties will fight, and the party struggle is more important than the state affairs. For the imperial party, who harmed their vital interests? Who is living and dead with them? Is it the back party who is close to the present? Or Liaodong thousands of miles away? Naturally, it is the back party who is close to the present. From the perspective of themselves, Liaodong is a major concern of the court, but not their personal concern. They will naturally choose to use the foreign enemy to get rid of the party struggle first. Even if there are one or two exceptions, it is not enough to reverse the general trend. The second one."

Lu Yanbing said with sincerity: "Sister Murong is very proud, Yanbing admires it."

Murong Hua said humbly: "I dare not, I dare not."

"Senior Sister Murong doesn't have to be too humble. It's really my plan." Li Xuandu said, "This plan is feasible."

Murong Hua was not too modest, but leaned forward slightly towards Li Xuandu behind the desk to express his humility.

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and ordered: "Senior Sister Murong, Sect Master Shangguan and Bingyan, you three go to meet the cabinet ministers and start preparing for this matter, but don't do it in advance, wait and take action later."
