Chapter 90 Gifts (12)
"Aristocratic forces."
The samurai's lips were a little bitter, but after pondering for a while, he still planned to come out. Sometimes when you don't do things, you really don't know how terrible some things are. These people seem to have regarded everything in the Tang Dynasty as their own.
"How is that possible?"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask, "There are all poor families there, why are they there? Master Wu, are you thinking too much?"
"I originally thought I was overthinking. After all, there were only places where poor families lived. They were living on the docks. Because of the canal transportation, there were special people to take care of the transportation. However, those who rely on their strength to make a living will basically be hungry if they don't work. I really thought that those people would not appear in such a place, but five of the constables who died this time were killed by them. Unfortunately, when I was about to pursue the matter, these people disappeared."
One sentence or another incident made several people here take a breath, because things are really terrible. At this time, no one cares about this matter very strange.
"What do they do with these people? Are the profitable points on the wharf being controlled by those Cao Gang people?"
Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Revenue before, so he naturally knew that the canal transportation is not enough now. Because of the insufficient ships and the staff, many families have people doing these tasks. In order not to make people feel that their status will be reduced, many of them are done by their own children. However, these things are not something that can be put on the table, and there is really no extra money at the dock, so why do they still interfere?
"Yes, the grain transportation was originally considered to be a blessing for the imperial court, because now we have no extra money or ships to do these things, but they also liked the labor force, because it was very cheap, so they were reluctant to let go. But it was not the most important thing, but because when I started checking, I found that the storage of the goods was also occupied by them. These places were just a little better than the pigpen, and they all had to occupy them. Moreover, when I took people there for the first time, they actually went with me. This was the transaction of the Cui family and the transaction of the Lu family."
Xiao Yu, who had never spoken, had wrinkles on his face and looked at the warrior and said, "This may be just their nonsense. After all, it is not easy for people to make a living."
Xiao Yu used to be a royal family, so he knew this. For a little benefit, he could play with the royal family, let alone other things?
"Yes, Warrior, maybe they did this on purpose." Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, but saw the other party say this. Only Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling thought it was difficult. As for Wei Zheng, would he have to think about this? It must be theirs.
"I used to think so, at most I just bully others with my power. But when I was impeached by the censors, I realized how naive my thoughts were at the beginning."
The warrior said with a little emotion, then looked at His Majesty and a few adults and continued, "When the Wei minister sent someone to clean the dock, he even saw some servants. They were just wearing the clothes of servants, but they did it just like in the army. They didn't dare to do anything in public, so they could still bear the past in general. However, those who were caught were later interrogated and all came out. They didn't know who the people above them were, just listened.
But it is strange that after this incident, the people who were driven away should be even more unhappy. After all, I have cut off their livelihoods, but they have not said a word, but instead they seem a little happy. Moreover, when I registered for them, I have received a lot of threats, some officials in the court, some people are inexplicable people, and even some inexplicable letters have come to my home, warning me not to be too troublesome."
It is really difficult to do something. Sometimes, we ask the people above to do something more beautifully, but in fact it is not possible because they have too many things to worry about.
"Then how did you persevere?" Li Shimin did not ask who those officials were. In fact, there was no need to ask more questions to know that it must be those people, and there would be no other talent except them.
Others would think that the Warriors would be for the Tang Dynasty, for His Majesty, for this and that, but the Warriors' words made everyone's hearts jump. This old man really treats wealth as his life.
"Because there is too much money, I'm jealous."
"Too much money?" Although there are tens of thousands of yuan, in Li Shimin's eyes, this is actually not a lot. The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue should be shameless. Is it appropriate for you to do this?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will think that this money will be the only thing that will be a matter of tens of millions of yuan in the Ministry of Revenue in the future."
The smug appearance of the warrior stimulated the few people here. How much does it cost? You just want tens of millions of yuan. If you really do it, then you will do whatever you want in the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty builds palaces and other people do something like schools. Don’t be too happy. Even those in the army can start war at any time. They don’t have that much money, so many times they don’t want so much to do anything.
"Master Wu, are you a little exaggerated?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help asking back when he saw Li Shimin's depressed expression.
"Yes, Master Wu, although Bashui is indeed much better now, how could he contribute so much money in a year?" Fang Xuanling also asked. At this time, even if there are one million people in Chang'an City, it would be impossible. With so much money, it would not work even if these people were squeezed out.
"Master Wu, do you have other ideas?" Wei Zheng was puzzled for a moment. For some reason, he could always see a little bit of Ye Tan's taste from here. This is indeed awesome in this regard, so don't think many things are impossible.
"Mr. Wei is good. I saw something here, so I think it may not take long for the future, and the Tang Dynasty will not be short of money."
If the warriors were in the past, they would definitely not think so, because in the eyes of the past, the wealth of a country or a world is constant. If you take more, the others will take less. How could such a lot of money be possible? Even if all the big families are empty, it would be impossible.
"Oh? OK." Li Shimin is still a person who likes to enjoy himself. His favorite thing is to listen to those who are not short of money. Before, when Changsun Wuji was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, as long as he mentioned what he wanted to do, he only had two words: no money.
"Your Majesty, just like the one from the Lord Fang just now, even if they were robbed, there would not be so much money. But have you forgotten one thing? I, the Tang Dynasty, are there only Bashui? Wherever there are docks in Suzhou, Yangzhou, and even Dengzhou. As long as we can manage these places, is it difficult for this money to come?"
It was like a thunderclap sounding in the air, which made the others stunned. Then they thought, yes, although Bashui is indeed powerful, there are also docks in the wealthy Yangzhou, Suzhou, etc., and because of the complicated business there, there are more places to operate in this area, and the Tang Dynasty has a lot of water flow. In the past, they cared about the most that they were not flooded in this place. Once flooding occurs, the Tang Dynasty would have to pay. But now, if this is really possible, then countless money would fly over.
Seeing that everyone was very happy, Xiao Yu asked coldly, "Mr. Wu, yours is indeed good, but you just got it. I, Kyoto of the Tang Dynasty, have countless military places. In order to win the interests of those wharfs, fifteen people died. How many people will die in other places? Although these people are all lowly people, they are also people of my Tang Dynasty. Moreover, His Majesty also had those family affairs before. Because they were not here, they dare not overrule the court. However, the salt merchants in Yangzhou and cloth merchants in Suzhou, these people have dominated those places for decades, and some have been for hundreds of years. If these people really make trouble, my Tang Dynasty may not be short of salt, cloth, or even food. At that time, once this happens, what do you think will be done? At that time, it will not be a problem of money, but a problem of the lifeline of the country. Have you considered it?"
The others immediately shut up. Yes, if this matter is really done, there may be a big problem. Although Li Shimin has been considering weakening these forces, it is not the time. In history, it was the time when Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi. This guy was good at packaging himself as a pitiful person and then pushed Wu Meiniang to the ring, so he finally killed those people.
Wu Meiniang is still a girl now, and she cannot have such great energy. If she does it, something big might happen.
"Your Majesty, dear sirs, although this matter is as serious as yours, there is no way to answer it."
The warrior looked proud and made people want to hit him. What's the matter? Why are you still pretending here?
"I don't know what wonderful ideas Master Wu has, so we can open our eyes." Changsun Wuji asked a little sarcasticly. He didn't expect the previous method. It was really a bit embarrassing and envious. Changsun Wuji has never been a person with open mind.
"This matter has something to do with His Royal Highness."
Warrior wanted to keep it a secret, but when he looked at Li Shimin's eyes, he knew that if you continue to sell like this, I wouldn't give you a good face.
"The Infrastructure Investment Department of His Royal Highness the Prince's Infrastructure Investment Department belongs to a department that builds the infrastructure of our Tang Dynasty. Due to funding issues, sometimes, there may be no way to do a lot of things, but the daily life of the people of the Tang Dynasty must continue. Therefore, in order to speed up this business, they will borrow money from Songzhou Bank, and then the loan needs to be mortgaged. For example, the stubborn problems raised by several adults just now, all of them are mortgaged to Songzhou Bank, and then the contract period is signed for a twenty-year period. During this time, we just need to go to the infrastructure construction, but we do not collect taxes, but there is no unfair treatment."
"Even so, isn't it still a big problem for their forces to fight against the people of Songzhou?" Xiao Yu said contemptuously. In the end, the responsibility will fall on the court. What's the use of this?
"Mr. Xiao is good, but here, the position of our court has changed. We are no longer directly confronting those families, but we are now sitting in the position of an arbitrator. We can adjust the conflicts between them. As for other means, it depends on their own. I believe that with Ye Tan's skills and the development of Songzhou in recent years, no family of them is capable of fighting alone. If they use other means, assassination will be possible. I believe that Ye Tan will not be afraid. If one side is too much, we can also adjust. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, we always hope that our country will be stable. If anyone dares to destroy it, it will be a serious crime of treason."
Use a method that no one can imagine to pass all of this. If something happens, it will not be his problem, but their problem. At most, the court will provide you with a place when you sue. As for the rest, it is your business.
"What if their places are theirs?" Fang Xuanling thought of a question: You mortgage the things to other people, this is good, but what if they think that things are theirs, what should you do?
"Anyone who says this should also take out the household registration, land deed, and legal source of income. If these cannot be done, the court will not support it."
The Samurai said that it made several skirts take a breath. This guy is so cruel.
"What if they don't listen?" Changsun Wuji continued to ask. Sometimes such things are like weird. Once the other party starts to cheat, then you really have no choice. If you kill the other party directly, the other party will turn against each other.
"Since they don't listen to the court, it's clear that they don't obey discipline. The court will ignore the unlucky affairs between them. Let them find the people from Songzhou. The minister believes that the people from Songzhou should be more unreasonable than them. At that time, if something happens, then don't blame us."
The warrior has a scoundrel face, which makes people feel comfortable to look at. Yes, since you don’t listen to us, then there is no need for us to care about you. Moreover, you are the one who plays scoundrel with the court first. Then, the things that the court can take out are the army.
And at that time, the public opinion will be in the court. If you have any problems with your own business war, you will not solve it yourself, and you will still have to find the court. Is it appropriate?
