A jar of rice wine was warmed, the cold autumn wind was cold, the fireplace was burning firewood, and the flat floor in the house was covered with a blanket from the Western Regions, which was a special product of Khotan, and Cheng Chubi specially sent someone to send it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"San Lang is in the Western Regions, and it doesn't hurt to have An Bo with him."

Li Zhen ate a jue, recalling the presumptuous past of the young man, and there was little melancholy.

"Why is the eldest brother so sentimental?"

"I'm going to fight for the family business too, alas......"

"It is the home of Zhong Ding Ming's food, and it is not as simple as Qianshou. The fields are busy, and there are fewer worries. But is the eldest brother willing? ”

"That's why I'm worried." Li Zhen glared at Zhang De, and then said aggrievedly, "Comfortable sorrow." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Lao Zhang laughed and hurriedly added a knight to Li Zhen, "Eat and drink." ”

"Or Da Lang, you are chic, how can you be an official and be different from other families?"

"Where am I an official? When I was just doing things, I happened to have an official position. Even if I don't have an official body, I'm not in Jingxiang? ”

Zhang De smiled and comforted Li Zhen, "Brother is a soft-hearted person, if he goes to Jiangnan, it is best to let the staff be evildoers." The so-called 'mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth', the eldest brother's temperament is not like his uncle. ”

"Tiger Father and Dog Son?!"

glared at Zhang De again, and then said enviously, "You actually have two sons, I'm really ...... I can't even think of it.,Presumably, there aren't many people in the society who know about it.。 ”

"He who is commanded knows."

"He's friendly with you, and he's a fellow traveler."

There are some things that Li Zhen didn't want to say, which was a bit hurtful. In fact, what Li Zhen wanted to say was that even if Zhang De wanted to rebel, he was afraid that Li Fengjie would be a person waving his flag and shouting to sharpen his sword and hand over his sword.

The rise and fall of the imperial court has little to do with them.

"The emperor wants to move the capital, but I am afraid that it will have nothing to do with 'Xinnan City'."

Suddenly, Zhang De closed his expression and said to Li Zhen seriously.

"In addition to the sugar market, I am afraid that there will be new salt market, copper market, iron market, ......"

Holding the wine glass, Zhang De said half of it, which made Li Zhen's face quite ugly.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhier opened the door curtain and came in, and then without saying a word, she picked up the wine jug and filled it to Li Zhen: "Uncle is full of drink." ”

"Thank you."

Li Zhi'er filled Zhang De again, Lao Zhang nodded, and looked at Li Zhen: "Only the sugar market and the copper market, at most they are dead people." But if you want to add a salt market and an iron market, I think someone will rebel. ”

The "salt and iron monopoly" has been since the Later Han Dynasty, that is, the government-run salt farm iron mine is not the largest, of course, it is true on the surface. In fact, the wealthy families can fight against the central government, against the warlords and the Hu people, and it is not enough to rely on the fields and the population they control.

Taking the Qinghe Cui clan as an example, although Cui Hao's pervert is really powerful, the salt pond and iron ore mastered by the Qinghe Cui clan are enough to support a small grassland tribe to start a business, and then claim the king and hegemony on a grassland.

This is even more true of the Fanyang Lu clan, smuggling salt and iron to the grassland, which is a familiar road. If it weren't for Zhang Gongjin first as the governor of Daizhou and then as the governor of Dingxiang, killing or appeased the large and small tribes in Liaodong, Hebei, how could Li Desheng be a demon in Hebei, and Li Shimin would have flattened the routine of Fan Yang Lu's clan behind him?

These events do not exist in isolation, they are interconnected and react to each other, but the person with the highest means of intrigue happens to be the emperor of this empire.

Smuggling salt and iron supplies to the grasslands, what is this special for local wealthy families? It's nothing. Since the Three Kingdoms, they have all done this, and the ups and downs of the lowly people in North and South Korea are closely related to the support of the wealthy families in the North. For example, the Bohai Gao clan and others directly cooperated with the Xianbei people and established themselves as kings.

However, the world is unified, as the emperor of the empire, who wants someone to smuggle important materials to the enemy of life and death?

The family is the same as the capitalists, they do not have a motherland, and what "self-cultivation and family rule the country and level the world" are all for others.

Only the emperor's family is one with the country.

In this era, there is the concept of a race, but there is no consciousness of a "nation".

At the end of the day, China China, this is a "world", not a country. China is the world, in this era, is accurate and in most cases reasonable.

Outside of China, whether it is the people of China or the likes of Tianzhu Turkic Persia, they will feel that China is rich, productive, comfortable and peaceful.

China is the world, and China is the world.

As the "co-lord of the world", Li Shimin did not allow the wealthy families in the north to do this and that, so the conflict occurred.

Now, he wants to move the capital and bring Chang'an and the forces in Guannai to Shandong and Henan. Shandong Shi clan, who is not afraid and frightened.

"If salt production, salt sales and sugar generally need 'production capital', there will be big households to cause chaos."

Li Zhen agreed with Zhang De's view that Emperor Li wanted to transfer his strength by moving the capital, weakening the strength of the Guanzhong military leaders while suppressing the Shandong Shi clan.

The details of suppressing the Shandong Shi clan are nothing more than people, land, and money. People may not kill much, and in any case, at the end of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, there is still a shortage of talents, and a large number of bureaucrats are needed to maintain the operation of the imperial court.

The place to start must be the fields and the profits.

And "salt and iron" is the core essence of the five surnames who have no fear to confront the central government and stand for hundreds of years without falling. In addition to protecting themselves, they only need to arm the careerists with these materials, and the careerists will naturally bite the ignorant people who want to attack them.

If it is an enemy with normal intelligence, but because it needs talents to maintain its rule, it has to drink to quench its thirst and continue to cooperate with the five surnames.

It's a pretty bad cycle.

Fu Jian, Tuoba Jue, Murong ...... These Hu people swirled up and disappeared, boiling and arrogant for a while, where are the Wuhu today?

"Last year, the prince toured the east, I hope it's okay."

Li Zhen suddenly sighed again, Li Chengqian, a stupid person who went to Chang'an to make trouble in the east, knew that the prince was virtuous, which was simply mentally retarded.

In case someone in the chaos talks about this, then the warm male prince will count the leg hair in the East Palace.

"Let's assume that the emperor moves the capital."

Zhang De said and asked Li Zhen, "Can my uncle find out the news?" ”

"I can't." Li Zhen shook his head, "Don't talk about adults, the same is true of Fang Xiang Du Xiang, maybe ......"

Suddenly, Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he thought of someone.

Lao Zhang looked at his expression and immediately shook his head: "It is absolutely impossible for the eldest grandson to be unscrupulous, this matter is very important, he is a relative, and it is useless." The emperor would not discuss the relocation of the capital with relatives who had no power. ”

"Let's assume that the capital will be moved."

Zhang De continued, "After moving the capital to Luoyang, the emperor will take who to cut first. ”

"Actually, speaking of which, the emperor will not catch them all, there are only two possibilities."

Sandwiched a piece of cold pork ear shreds, and after eating, Li Zhen took a sip of rice wine, "Either catch the big and let go of the small, or only punish the evil." ”

"Well, that's good."

Lao Zhang nodded, but he was also a little bored in his heart: I'm afraid that Li Er's drunkard doesn't mean to drink.
