Chapter 70: Silence is better than sound here
Li Jiancheng was silent, and there was no expression on his face. Zheng Guanyin was very anxious, Zheng Guanyin was worried that Chen Ying was not because of the personal relationship between men and women, but because of huge interests.
It is said that Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the seven sects and five hopes in the Kanto region, and ordinary money could not impress her at all. But Chen Ying didn't make a move, and once he did, people couldn't refuse. Taking Lingzhou's output as an example, the annual income of 30% of the iron ore alone is at least 180,000 yuan, and the annual income of salt and coal is at least 200,000 yuan.
You must know that the value of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty is extremely high, if you say that copper coins do not have too intuitive feelings. If converted into the price of later generations, it must be frighteningly high. During the Zhenguan period, a bucket of rice was only sold for five yuan, usually the money was equivalent to one thousand copper coins, that is to say, you can buy two hundred buckets of rice, ten buckets for one stone, that is, twenty stones, one stone in the Tang Dynasty is about fifty-nine kilograms, with today's general rice price of two pieces and five pounds, it has always been equivalent to the purchasing power of 5,900 yuan, and 200,000 guan is equivalent to 1.18 billion yuan.
With a wealth of 1.18 billion yuan, it is estimated that there are few people who will not be tempted, if it is so much money every year, I am afraid that even the saint will become a slut in an instant.
Li Jiancheng didn't seem to see the anxiety in Zheng Guanyin's eyes, he was silent for a long time, and said with a long sigh: "Guanyin, you are from the gate valve, so you naturally know the energy of the gate valve!" ”
Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly: "It's because I know it, so I feel a pity!" ”
"What a pity?" Li Jiancheng felt a little inexplicable, looked at Zheng Guanyin suspiciously, and said, "What a pity! ”
Zheng Guanyin reluctantly handed the three share contracts with body temperature to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng did not open them, but looked at Zheng Guanyin and said, "What is this?" ”
"Your Highness will open it and take a look?"
Zheng Guanyin was born in the gate valve, and he knows the horror of the gate valve. After Yang Guang's death, Yang Tong, the lord of Huangtai, posthumously admonished Yang Guang as Emperor Ming, the temple name Shizu, King Dou Jiande posthumously exhorted Yang Guang as Emperor Min, and Li Yuan posthumously exhorted Yang Guang as Emperor Yang. According to the "Law", it is said, "It is good to be far away from the courtesy, to go to the far away people to say Yang, to abuse the people against the sky, to be good and to be ruined, to be unkind and unrighteous, and to leave the country of virtue and desolation." ”
In other words, Yang Guang's infamy of "abusing the people against the sky, being unkind, leaving the country of morality, being a great government, and going to courtesy to the people" can no longer run away.
In fact, what kind of person is Yang Guang. Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng are very clear that Yang Guang is not such a person in fact, first of all, he is a Ming monarch, and he is also a promising monarch, reforming politics, strengthening imperial power, abolishing the hereditary system of Jiupin Zhongzheng, and opening a branch to take scholars.
At the same time, Yang Guang was also a benevolent monarch, and he established the penal law and abolished torture. The criminal law is divided into five degrees, one is the death penalty, the second is the exile sentence, the third is the prison sentence, the fourth is the cane punishment, and the fifth is the flogging punishment. The rest of the criminal laws, such as abandonment of the city and palace punishment, have all been abolished. He also promulgated the uniform land system, implemented the system of losing nationality, and enriched the people and strengthened the army.
However, the fact that the Sui Dynasty died at the hands of Yang Guang II is an indisputable issue. No matter how much notoriety and criticism Yang Guang added, it was actually because of political needs. Yang Guang's most intuitive problem is to offend the gate valves in the world, so the gate valves in the world are in rebellion, thirty-six roads against the king, and seventy-two roads are dusty and smoke, almost all of them are secretly supported by the gate valves, or directly throw off their arms and go directly.
The Great Sui, which has millions of soldiers and spans thousands of miles, collapsed overnight, not to mention that the energy of the gate valve is too great.
Li Jiancheng quietly opened the three contracts, Rao is city government is extremely deep, and he couldn't bear it, and his face changed instantly: "This ...... This...... This ......"
"This is sent by Chen Langjun!" Zheng Guanyin looked at these three contracts, and his heart was extremely sour. She is like a peerless beauty, who suddenly gets a magic elixir that can stay young forever, and just got it in her hands, and before she could take it, she was snatched away.
Li Jiancheng also set off a shocking wave in his heart at this time.
The income of 200,000 guan is like a soldering iron, stimulating Li Jiancheng's nerves. Even though he is the crown prince and the prince of the country, he can't stop feeling about 200,000 guan.
With this amount of money, you can buy fifty or sixty thousand war horses.
More than 200,000 head of cattle can be bought.
You can buy a million pigs.
You can buy three million sheep.
It is also possible to buy 1,200,000 knives or swords, 600,000 bows, and 30,000 sets of armor, which can feed more than 200,000 troops at the annual expenditure of 8,000 yuan to feed a soldier. It is possible to arm an army of 100,000 from scratch.
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Take it!" ”
Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly, took this contract, and threw it into the brazier.
Just when Zheng Guanyin was about to take it off, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand. The three contracts in his hand were not easy to fly, Zheng Guanyin looked up and looked at Li Jiancheng puzzled: "Isn't it going to be burned?" ”
"It's not burning, it's going to be collected!" Li Jiancheng said lightly: "Such a God-given opportunity, if you don't take it, the sky will definitely hate it!" ”
Zheng Guanyin listened to Li Jiancheng's relaxed tone, listened to his words, and was not worried about Yuan's counterattack at all, and asked him in surprise. "Your Highness, you have to think clearly."
"Hongu has already thought very clearly!" Li Jiancheng said: "My father has always been worried that the palace will empty him and make him a emperor. ”
Li Yuan's thoughts, in fact, many people can understand it. Li Yuan's energy is low and he is aging, but he is unwilling to let the power of the court fall to Su Li Jiancheng early before he dies. He rewarded Li Shimin heavily, and even did not hesitate to crown Li Shimin as the secretary of Shangshu Lingtong Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang.
Since then, Shangshu's left servant shot Pei, Shangshu's right servant shot Liu Wenjing have become Li Shimin's subordinates, at this time Li Shimin's authority is great, and he has become the de facto prime minister, and he is the real power of the prime minister who controls the three provinces and controls the six ministries. Li Yuan's intention in this move was nothing more than to use Li Shimin to elapse him.
The direct result of this situation is that Li Shimin is still hostile to Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan does not give up power for a day, but it does not mean that Li Shimin has patience for a day.
Although it is unlikely that Li Jiancheng will do the ugly thing of killing his father and seizing power, as long as the nail of Li Shimin is completely smashed, Li Jiancheng still does not mind.
In the past, Li Jiancheng was afraid of fratricide. But now, Chen Ying's three contracts have made Li Jiancheng see hope, don't worry.
He knew that Li Shimin was also a smart person, as long as he could break the balance between the two, Li Yuan was also helpless.
Li Jiancheng said: "What Erlang relies on is nothing more than military power. Chen Yingke is a general, with Xue Wanche and Zuo Wei leading Yang Wengan, respectively in charge of Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Lingzhou, which is equivalent to mastering the military power in the west, northwest and north of Chang'an, especially the troops of Jingzhou, once they need to be dispatched, they can arrive at the city of Chang'an in two days at most to deal with emergencies.
However, the establishment of Jingzhou by the imperial court was too small. With only five regiments and 1,500 soldiers, Li Jiancheng originally had no money, but now that he has money, he can expand his troops, and even rebuild a well-equipped and fully equipped right guard.
"You're so different from what you've always been, you've become a bold lord." Zheng Guanyin said with a slight sigh, I didn't expect Li Jiancheng to be able to see through the subtlety, thinking that her hardships over the years were finally known, she was a little difficult to hold the brocade couch with her hand, and wanted to sit down, Li Jiancheng suddenly hugged Zheng Guanyin's delicate body.
Silence is better than sound here.
