Chapter 1122 Jia Ping'an is the one who likes to deceive people the most
Jia Ping'an never pinned his hopes on the empress.
Li Zhi and Ah Jie’s ideas are deeply rooted, and they can only be improved, not completely changed.
But Li Hong is different.
This child has a benevolent heart, coupled with intelligence, supplemented by correct concepts, he must be an emperor of the Tang Dynasty who inherited the past and ushered in the future.
For many things, you need a good beginning, set good rules, and then future generations will add to the framework of these rules.
Maintain the core concept and adhere to the people-oriented, this is the root of a dynasty's prosperity!
"The people are the root of prosperity!"
The dynasty that betrayed the interests of the people has never had good results. This is the case in the Qin and Han Dynasties, not to mention the Jin Dynasty.
During Li Longji’s period, the superiors exploited the people and deviated from the people-oriented concept. Since then, even if the Tang Dynasty had a small revival, it still couldn’t stand up.
When it comes to Song Dynasty, there is no need to mention this. It was still the same in the Ming Dynasty. As the country was established for a long time, the upper class naturally began to covet enjoyment. Where did the money and resources for enjoyment come from? It is exploited from the people.
Such a dynasty will naturally be voted by the people with their feet, and will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history.
Greed is like fire, if not curbed, it will start a prairie fire; desire is like water, if not curbed, it will be monstrous. This passage is not only admonishing individuals, but also admonishing the group of superiors.
"Why is Mr. Zhao so energetic?"
People in the household department think that today's Master Jia is radiant.
"Xiao Jia, you did a good job!"
When he met Dou Dexuan, he roared.
Jia Pingan glanced at the grid behind, I went, and there were only documents left.
"Don't try to take away the old man's calligraphy and painting again, dreaming!"
"Mr. Dou, I don't like to hear that. I just took a few scrolls of calligraphy and painting."
Jia Pingan sat down, and ordered, "To make tea, you need good tea."
Dou Dexuan waved his hand angrily, "The old man loves and cherishes that scroll of the late emperor's handwriting. You coveted it for a long time, but last time I took advantage of the old man's inadvertently to take it away..."
"Why is Mr. Dou looking for me?" Jia Pingan felt that it was inappropriate to make Dou Dexuan angry, so he quickly changed the subject.
Dou Dexuan stroked his beard, "Those people are furious."
…
"Another 10% copper?"
Cui Chen scolded: "Does that lowly dog slave Dou Dexuan dare to do that?"
Lu Shunzai's long-standing restraint could no longer be maintained. Even Jia Ping'an's face, which had not changed color when he cheated the nobles, changed color now.
"Didn't the large amount of goods prepared by our family fall into our hands?"
Everyone was stunned.
In order to exchange for the silver coins of the Ministry of Households, these families, including those rich and powerful, hoarded a lot of goods that the Ministry of Households wanted.
"Is the silver coin with 10% more copper worth it?"
A small amount is naturally worthwhile.
However, large-volume exchange is absolutely hematemetic.
Everyone is going crazy.
"That old dog Dou Dexuan! Die badly!"
"Can Mrs. Dou still tolerate this old dog eating inside and outside?"
"Kill him!"
"What about the goods I'm waiting for?"
The atmosphere at the scene was like mourning.
A entourage hurried in, "The decision just made by the court is to recover all the silver coins issued by Linde two years ago for a period of five years, and exchange one for a new coin. After five years, the court will no longer recognize Linde two years ago. Issued silver coins. Neither taxes nor anything can be paid with such silver coins."
This is lore!
Cui Chen's face was pale, "How many silver coins have I hoarded in my family? There are too many to count. I originally wanted to keep hoarding for hundreds of years. But once this is done, those silver coins will be worthless."
In the past, when those families were hoarding silver coins, they were laughing at the Ministry of Households and the court, and even laughed at the hero Jia Pingan of Yinshan, thinking that they were making wedding dresses for themselves.
Jia Pingan didn't say a word, but at this moment, he suddenly slashed, and the person who laughed more fiercely at the beginning became more desperate and angry now.
"This means not to hoard silver coins for us!"
"Don't hoard silver coins. What should my family hoard? Cloth? Heavy copper coins? Or those spices that have stale for a long time?"
These families have long been accustomed to using silver coins as the family’s reserve currency. If you let them go back to the days when they stockpiled cloth and other things, they will go crazy.
This is like a person driving a sports car to work every day, and suddenly it disappears. Let him go to work by bicycle every day. How does this person feel?
"No!"
Cui Chen said: "Why is this old man so familiar with this method?"
Everyone was startled.
Cui Chen said: "This method... has been laid out since Yinshan discovered it, and gradually brought my family in. When I was complacent, he directly lifted the table..."
This is a pit!
Lu Shunzai blurted out, "Jia Ping'an is the one who likes to deceive people the most!"
"He likes to set up such games the most. It lasts for many years before he breaks out, making his opponent want to cry without tears."
…
Silver coins have started shipping.
The use of new silver coins by the court is equivalent to a super huge sum of money for no reason.
"Little Jia is nice."
Dou Dexuan transformed into the 'Number One Jia Chuan'.
"Queen, Xue Rengui's army is turning back, and it's time to consider rewarding merit."
Wu Kui made a suggestion on behalf of the Ministry of War.
"Where is Zhao Guogong?"
Shouldn’t Jia Ping’an report to the Ministry of War?
Wu Kui said in despair: "Mr. Zhao Guo came here in the morning and said that it is time to revise the book. Don't dare to delay any longer. You should calm down... and then leave."
Empress Wu's eyelids twitched wildly, "Understood. Hubu."
Dou Dexuan raised his head slightly, exuding a sense of triumph!
"Queen, don't worry, the reward money is ready."
The household department is not short of money!
Dou Dexuan was complacent, but dissatisfied: "What big event can the Ministry of War have? You wait until you deal with it and it's over. What do you have to do with Zhao Guogong? Incompetent!"
But he is the Minister of the Ministry of War!
Wu Kui wanted to refute and get angry, but he shrank when facing the prime minister, feeling inexplicably sad and angry.
Dou Dexuan did not forget the well digger when he drank water, "This time the silver coin has been increased by 10% copper, and the household income is quite large. This alone is enough to meet the rewards and more than enough."
Empress Wu felt relieved, "It's just ordinary."
This is when my younger brother is going to be successful, but I have to be humble on his behalf.
Dou Dexuan was dissatisfied and said: "The Queen's words are wrong. Previously, the ministers were helpless in the face of the problem of silver coins being hoarded. Zhao Guogong not only solved this problem, but also allowed the Ministry of Households to earn a lot of money. This is not unusual. It is also for the minister to see that Zhao Guogong enters the court."
Thirty-year-old prime minister, the picture is too beautiful, Wu Mei dare not imagine.
"Those people are furious, gnashing their teeth in hatred for the minister."
Dou Dexuan was a little proud.
Shen Qiu came.
"Queen, those families are selling the hoarded goods."
…
Dongxishi is gloomy at the moment.
Some shops put up signs and sold goods at prices below the market price.
The people in Chang'an City were moved after hearing the news.
"Don't panic!"
Someone in the crowd said: "Those rich people originally wanted to use these goods to sell silver coins and emptied the silver coins, but the government added 10% more copper. These goods are rotten in their hands. They can only sell them now..."
"Can it be lower?"
"It must be lower, otherwise no one will buy it and it will rot in my own hands, and I won't get back the money."
Wonderful!
The people in Chang'an immediately called their sons and daughters back home.
"Let's wait a little longer."
Those businessmen were dumbfounded.
"Ah Lang, the people have all gone back, saying they will buy it when it is cheaper."
"Cunning!" Lu Shunzai's city government couldn't suppress his anger more and more, "Let's go down a bit more."
"I'm afraid they will be greedy, so I still don't buy it."
Lu Shunzai scolded angrily: "They don't buy it, and those merchants will naturally buy it when they see a bargain."
Yeah!
So the price of the goods is reduced again.
but…
Some men were wandering in the East and West City, and one family went in to spread the word.
"Those people can't buy the goods no matter how low the price is."
"Why? Where are you from?"
There are businessmen who are dissatisfied.
The man looked at him, "It doesn't matter what I am, the important thing is not to get yourself into trouble."
The businessman muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you make money for me?"
He went out and saw men coming in and out of the shop.
They have one thing in common, that is indifference.
Later the merchants gathered to discuss.
"Where are these?"
"I don't know."
"Looking cold all over, I was scolded for asking a question earlier, isn't it amazing?"
"The old man tested it before, and the man pointed to the sky."
The merchants were surprised.
"I still have something to do, I'm going back first."
"It doesn't matter if you don't buy those goods."
"Yes, what does Zhao Guogong say? You can make a fortune in any way, but don't make a fortune for the country. It is not only shameful, but also very dangerous."
"gone."
…
"It's nothing to lose some and sell it to the merchants, at least quickly." Cui Chen thinks it's not a problem, "In addition, the silver coins hoarded at home have to be spent. The five-year period, Jia Ping'an, that beast, don't need to think about such means. I knew he did it."
"Five-year period, no waiting for expiration, the silver coins in our family can only be spent."
Lu Shunzai frowned, "I have lost a fortune..."
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door, and Cui Chen said displeasedly: "I'll wait for the discussion."
Knock knock knock!
The knock on the door remained firm.
"Come in."
Lu Shunzai said in a deep voice.
The door opened and an old man came in.
Lu Shunzai stood up, "Second brother."
The old man frowned and looked at him, "Incompetent."
Lu Shunzai lowered his head, "Yes."
The person who came was Lu Shunzai's second brother, Lu Shungui. He was very famous among the gentry, and even Cui Chen and others stood up to greet him in awe.
Lu Shungui sat down, dissatisfaction appeared on his thin face, "You have waited in Chang'an repeatedly to no avail, and this time you even lost more than a dozen gentry children. After many discussions at home, let the old man come to Chang'an to sit in charge."
The three were ashamed and angry.
"Those more than ten children ordered them to go home." Lu Shungui said firmly: "It's not terrible to lose, but the terrible thing is that they have no fighting spirit after losing. Even if they can't re-enter the official career, they can still teach their children at home. We have passed on from generation to generation. The world is changing, but our gentry will never change. We can lie dormant, but we can also rise!"
"yes."
Lu Shunzai said: "Second brother, when the Ministry of Households issued silver coins, it actually added 10% more copper."
Lu Shungui raised his hand and interrupted him, his long white eyebrows moved, "The goods prepared in this way are all useless and can only be sold. Whose idea? Dou Dexuan has been proficient in finance in recent years, but this kind of cruel The means are not like what he did."
Cui Chen said: "I guess it's Jia Ping'an."
"Jia Ping'an." Lu Shungui pondered for a long time, "This man is ruthless and good at planning. He is a famous general, and he does things like a battle. Since he has made a move, there must be follow-up..."
Cui Chen was very impressed, "The court immediately ordered that the period of ten years be ten years. After ten years, this batch of silver coins can be exchanged for silver or copper coins."
"But in the past ten years, the people of the world have long been used to silver coins. The common people will not exchange them. Those who can exchange them are our families and the powerful and wealthy."
Lu Shungui stroked his beard, "He won't be so simple. If so, our family can exchange silver coins for silver and copper coins in ten years' time. It won't be a loss. But the old man feels...he will set conditions for this, for example, every household You can only exchange as much. No matter how many family members I wait for, I don’t have much money.”
"Where are the hermits?" Wang Sheng felt that Lu Shungui had neglected this, "There are countless hermits in our family."
Lu Shungui glanced at him with peaceful eyes, "Jia Ping'an regards the gentry as enemies, do you think he will just sit back and watch me wait for hermits to exchange? He only needs one...to exchange with his household registration, and each household can only exchange as much as he can. Redeem once...the hidden household does not have a household registration, how do you redeem it?"
"Very poisonous!"
Cui Chen Yilin, "If that's the case, this is a dead end plan."
Lu Shungui rapped on the table with his fingers, "Tea."
Wang Sheng got up and went out, "Make tea."
Lu Shungui said: "When you do things, you have to think of the opponent's means, and you have to think about the worst. It is no longer possible to hoard this batch of silver coins. The goods must be sold as soon as possible, even if they are cheaper... The old man is always worried that Jia Ping'an will have more money." Vicious methods are waiting for us."
"The price has already been reduced."
The person who made the tea hadn't come yet, but the messenger came.
"Many people went to Dongxi Market to warn the merchants so that they could not buy our goods."
"Jia Ping'an!" Cui Chen's face changed, "This bastard's tricks are one after another, just like waves, one wave after another, without giving people a chance to breathe."
Lu Shunzai also changed color, "What can I do? Lower the price again!"
Wang Sheng was frustrated, "That's the only way!"
"The common people will definitely not be able to bear the price reduction, and they will buy it no matter how tricked they are."
The tea is here.
Lu Shungui looked down at the tea soup, sniffed it, and praised: "A cup of tea, a book, sitting in front of the window for half a day, and making friends with the ancients. When you wake up, three or five friends gather together, drink and laugh, this is the ultimate joy in this world!"
He took a sip of tea, "Wonderful!"
The long white eyebrows moved slightly, feeling a little comfortable.
"There is no need to sell it."
Lu Shungui said lightly: "Pack up all the goods, take them away in a cart, and leave Chang'an for sale."
"But people along the way spent a lot of money on horse chews! The loss is even worse." Lu Shunzai was dissatisfied.
Lu Shungui took another sip of tea and sighed contentedly, "Doing things is not about success or failure. Two people fight and one side wins. What should you do at this moment? Disrupt his plan, interrupt his pride. My family is short of money ?"
not bad!
Lu Shungui smiled, "Jia Pingan definitely wants to watch my family lower the price, so that the people in Chang'an will get a better price, and the people will praise the emperor and despise our gentry when they get a better price. Why should he be satisfied?"
Cui Chen suddenly realized, "I would rather lose more than sell, and the people in Chang'an City will be persuaded to leave, so I will be disappointed. Then I will be dissatisfied with the emperor and others."
Lu Shungui put down his teacup, and said calmly: "When my family was fighting, the Li family was just a savage. In terms of means, our family has gone through hundreds of years and experienced countless hardships. This is just a trivial matter."
"yes."
The merchants in Dongxi City received the order and immediately took away the price reduction sign.
"I'd rather lose money than sell it to those lowly dog slaves!"
"Yes, let them be proud!"
The horse-drawn carriages entered the East and West Market one by one. There were so many of them that the merchants and customers were dumbfounded.
This is the work of the gentry!
…
"Not sold in Chang'an anymore?"
Jia Pingan was a little surprised when he got the news, and then asked, "Whose idea?"
Shen Qiu said: "The Lu family has come to preside over the overall situation, and his name is Lu Shungui."
"How is this person?" asked the Queen.
"This person is resourceful and decisive."
"It's an opponent." Jia Pingan said: "He will kill one thousand enemies and injure himself by eight hundred. He would rather lose more than damage the court."
This is hurting people with the book!
"The people will be disappointed."
Wu Mei said: "Then you will blame the court."
"That's probably the same plan over there, so I'd rather hurt someone at the bottom than give a blow to the court."
Wu Mei asked: "Is there a way?"
Jia Pingan nodded, "Yes."
…
The goods of those families in Dongxi City were continuously pulled out by carts.
"Gone?"
Several women surrounded the cart and asked, "We want to buy."
The coachman said coldly: "Buy a fart! Get out!"
"Not for sale!"
"Want to buy? It's so beautiful!"
"It's gone."
The news spread, and the people were disappointed.
It's like the future generations didn't catch the opportunity of big sale, what a sense of loss!
Immediately, someone complained about the emperor.
"The last time the price was reduced, it was almost the same, but some people said that it was still far away. Let us wait. Now it's good, the wait is gone."
"Troublesome!"
"It can save a lot of money!"
Even Li Zhi knew about this and paid attention to it.
"Have you heard complaints from the people?"
Chang'an is the best place, so stability should be the top priority.
The emperor lay down, and the prince had a lot to do, so he acted as a sounding board at this moment.
"Aye, originally my uncle wanted to cheat more, but Lu Shungui came from the gentry. He was so decisive that he ordered people to pull all the goods out of Chang'an, saying that he would rather lose more than let uncle do what he wanted."
"It's not about letting him get what he wants. What Lu Shungui wants to say is whether I will get what I want."
Li Zhi felt his headache relieved a bit at this moment, "But of course such things can't be said in front of others, so I said Jia Ping'an. It's just ugly. But the method is good. If he became an official a few years ago, he can do it without being a prime minister." general."
Li Hong was curious, "Aye, is this person so powerful?"
Li Zhi heard Xun Xun's voice, stretched out his hand, and Xun Xun lay on his lap.
Li Zhi gently rubbed the top of Xun Xun's head, "This person made such a decision as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. It can be called a strong man cutting his wrist, and it can be regarded as a counterattack against the trend. This is the talent of a prime minister. I'm afraid I can only follow if I change someone else." Your uncle left and was finally buried in a pit by him."
Li Hong understood, "If there is no such person, those people will lower the price of the goods even lower. They will lose a lot, and the people will praise Aye when they get benefits. This is killing two birds with one stone, but now he has destroyed it."
Li Zhi nodded.
Li Hong was curious, "Uncle said there is another way, what could it be?"
…
It’s the last day of this month, book friends who have monthly tickets, ask for tickets!
