In fact, the key to the whole thing, the interests of the Yuan family are only secondary, to put it a little cruelly, the Yuan family is also a chess piece in the hands of Han Yi, if it is only for the interests of the Yuan family, or even the entire southward expansion plan, then Han Yi can handle it himself, and there is no need to go through many troubles. Han Yi's purpose is to use this matter to bind the queen and the businessman together, and let the queen promote the development of the entire business, so what the queen said must be known to the people, and if she doesn't know, it will be in vain.

At the end of the day, it's still hype.

This is also what Han Yi is best at.

Soon, a controversy over the political hall spread to the people.

In fact, even if Han Yi didn't operate from it, this matter would have been spread, because Zhang Wenguan and they all thought that the queen was arrogant and unreasonable first, so they would definitely say it, so that everyone could see what this woman was doing.

If this was a few years ago, when the people heard this, they would have to scold Han Yi for being in cahoots with the Yuan family, and scolding the demon queen for chaos in the country, why was the Yuan family wronged outside, and the court would have to help, so many people died in Tubo and the northwest, and they didn't go to the political hall, which was clearly a collusion between officials and businessmen, but now the people's reaction is not like this.

North Lane.

"Although this is a matter of the Yuan family, I always feel that the queen and Brother Han are right, and now some of our goods are also beginning to try to go by sea, if there is no guarantee overseas, then who will dare to go by sea in the future!"

Zhao Sijia frowned.

Qian Dafang nodded and said: "You are right, although many people are very envious of the Yuan family, but the Yuan family is also a businessman, we support the Yuan family, which is equivalent to supporting ourselves, if the court supports, then I can also send someone to the island over there to have a look and get a piece of the pie, if the court does not support it, the Yuan family can't play over there, we don't even have the opportunity to play!" ”

Dou Yi, who has always been steady, also nodded and said: "In fact, occupying those islands is also beneficial to our merchants, most of our arable land in the Central Plains still has to grow grain, no matter what, this agricultural mulberry is the foundation of the country, if we can occupy those islands, we can grow some cotton and sugar cane." ”

Qian Dafang swallowed a mouthful and said: "I won't tell you, I have inquired with the Yuan family, it is said that the land on the island is good, anything can be planted, just throw the seeds into the field, such a good land, we have no reason not to occupy it, our country is so strong, our people have not received much benefit from it." ”

.....

Guanzhong Hotel.

"Those old Confucians are really not as good as a woman."

Yuwen Xiumi put the wine bottle on the table heavily, slammed it, and said angrily: "They are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, I think they are all a group of hypocrites, when Li Yifu sold his official mantle and killed him for money, I didn't see them stand up and say a fair word, but now those people outside the island who have nothing to do with it are talking nonsense, and they also know how to bully the people of the Central Plains." ”

He Ruohan nodded and said: "That's it, that's it, the queen is really right, our Datang is the first in the world, and the wild monkeys on the island dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, if we don't teach them a lesson, will we still have the face to go out in the future." ”

A young boy beside him said: "I don't think we need the help of the imperial court, let's find someone at our own expense, if we can dig a coal mine or copper mine over there, then we will make a fortune." ”

As soon as these words came out, these boys' eyes flashed!

Yang Mengcheng said: "This is not good, it is illegal to recruit troops without permission, and if you don't get it, you will be killed." ”

"Hey!"

He Ruohan sighed heavily and said, "I really don't know why that old Confucian objected, and he didn't let them go, what does it have to do with them." The Buddha is not their relatives, what are they doing? ”

Yuwen Xiumi's eyes suddenly turned, and said: "Otherwise, let's go home and talk to the elders, let them support the queen in the court, although our Central Plains is big, but who would think that there is little land, besides, I heard that the land over there is good, not to mention the land, there are still many trees over there, and now wood is valuable, everything needs wood." ”

He Ruohan said: "I'm afraid of being scolded by my father." ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "What are you afraid of, if your father doesn't agree, that is, he will be scolded, no pain or itching, if he agrees, then we will occupy those islands by then, and we will be rich." ”

"Shumi is right, we have to try anyway."

......

Military Department.

"Sikong, have you heard about the Yuan family?"

Ashina glanced at Li Ji and asked.

Li Ji said expressionlessly: "What are you asking about?" ”

Ashinami said: "I think I can send troops to fight, this is always not a war, we generals are all decorations." ”

Li Ji sighed and said: "If it is on land, the old man doesn't care, it should be regarded as training soldiers, but the problem is that the Buddha died overseas, and if you are a landlubber, you will faint on the ship in less than a day." ”

Ashina Mi Shot suddenly looked embarrassed, it's right to think about it, he is a hero on the grassland, and if he runs into the sea, it is the food of people's stomachs.

Qi Bi He Li said: "Then we can let others go!" If you fight a Buddha and die in the country, you don't need us people to take action personally. ”

Li Ji looked at them and said, "Why are you so concerned about this matter, isn't it that the Yuan family sent someone to lobby you?" ”

Ashina Mi shot out and said: "Sikong, you really don't hear anything outside the window, the Yuan family heard about his family, which caused the queen and Zhang Wenguan to quarrel, and they were frightened, so they hurriedly released the news, hoping to calm things down." ”

"What about you..."

Li Ji was halfway through his words, and he sighed and said, "The old man understands, you are going to the Kunlun slave over there." ”

Ashina Mi smiled and said, "We don't care, but the people below want to fight a dozen, they tasted the sweetness of the last time they fought Goguryeo, and now the Kunlun slave is valuable in Jiangnan." ”

Li Ji sighed: "It's not that the old man doesn't approve, it's just... This division is unknown, and the imperial court has no reason to help the Yuan family fight, which is unreasonable. ”

Qi Bi He Li said angrily: "Sikong, why have you become like those civil servants, timid, what kind of truth does this need, let's explain, it is for money, fighting is not to protect the family and defend the country, that is, fame and fortune, what is there to be embarrassed to say." ”

......

......

Yuanjiabao.

"My grandson has seen my grandfather."

Yuan Xi asked, "Have you talked to those uncles?" ”

Yuan Zhe nodded.

Yuan Xi said: "What do they say? ”

Yuan Zhe smiled bitterly: "Now they are more like merchants than us, they all agree that they should not be calm, and they should do their best to ask the imperial court to send troops to occupy those islands." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Xi looked a little surprised.

Yuan Zhe said: "Grandpa, if you occupy those islands, then you need a large fleet to transport supplies, which can bring huge profits to the Guanzhong Group, Lelangzhou, because it has to pass through the Shandong region, our Guanzhong Group's influence over there is far less than that of the Shandong Group, and the transportation over there is almost monopolized by the Shandong Group, and they have always been obsessed with it, so they feel that this is an opportunity." ”

Yuan Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Then what did you say?" ”

Yuan Zhe said: "Of course, the grandson will follow the instructions of the eldest grandfather, indicating that our Yuan family hopes to be able to calm things and not cause trouble to the imperial court." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "That's it." ”

......

Zhang Wenguan never imagined that what they thought was unreasonable and nonsense would cause great repercussions in the DPRK and the people, even in the DPRK, there are many people who are on the side of the Yuan family, of course, they will not say that they are going for money, they all say that the Guanzhong Group is supported by the imperial court, which is equivalent to our Datang cargo ship, and the Datang cargo ship was robbed, this is a great shame, we can't ignore it.

And the Shandong Shi clan, they don't comment on this matter, they don't comment on it, that is, support, if this is in the past, the Shandong Shi clan will definitely stand up against it, but now it is different from the past!

This is all because of the Great War of Goguryeo, which greatly benefited the Shandong scholars, and the entire Shandong region became richer and more prosperous. In the process of fighting, they made a lot of money, and now Lelangzhou's plots and iron are constantly transported to the Central Plains, all of which need to pass through Shandong, and this person comes and goes, which can generate many business opportunities, plus most of the fleet is from their Shandong group, which is entangled in morality and interests, so that the Shandong Shi clan is also undecided, they want to fight in their hearts, but they are embarrassed to say it too explicitly, so they simply keep silent, and use silence to support the queen's proposition, and let Cui Jijian try not to mix with them.

If they don't mix, isn't that support.

This is the ideological --- greed that capitalism brings.

Although greed is derogatory, no one can deny that greed will make people progress, the Central Plains is a vast land, and there is no need to go out, why can't it be richer?

Of course, the idea of small farmers is to be well fed and clothed, but businessmen do not think so, they are all eager for more wealth, the pursuit of a larger market, and the profession of businessman has expansion genes in it.

This public opinion is getting more and more intense, and even the Jiangnan side sent a letter to the imperial court, saying that the people of Jiangnan are very angry about this matter and hope that the imperial court can make decisions for the people.

Of course, this is all because Han Yi sent someone over there to publicize this matter, otherwise, it would be impossible for the news to spread there so quickly, and this is not a decree.

But Han Yi didn't put any effort into fooling them, but just passed the queen's words over, which immediately caused a great response.

Now Muzhou, Yangzhou business is very developed, capital ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they are not for the Yuan family, the Yuan family as a Guanzhong noble, and Jiangzuo nobles have always been not very good, they are all for themselves, if the imperial court wants to send troops to cross the sea, then all the materials must be deployed from Jiangnan, now the goods in Jiangnan are very sufficient, water-powered spinning machines and looms have passed, because there are many hydraulic resources there, the output is very large, if the court wants to fight, Jiangnan businessmen will definitely get rich, And once it is defeated, there will be such a big market on the edge of Jiangnan, and this trade will bring a lot of wealth to Jiangnan.

When they fought Goguryeo, they made Shandong rich, and if it weren't for that crisis, Jiangnan wouldn't have been able to take advantage of any benefits, so they all thought that this time it would be our turn to get rich.

There has always been a contradiction between the north and the south, so the people in Jiangnan feel that the imperial court cannot be partial.

In the past, this was just a trivial matter, but now it has caused an uproar, and all classes are talking about this matter, and Wu Meiniang's words really won the hearts of businessmen, and her reputation is rising on a rocket.

Zhang Wenguan and they were all stupid, they didn't plan to discuss this matter anymore, but now there is no way, it can't be discussed without discussion.

Wu Meiniang also told Li Zhizai, this is not a trivial matter, the people are very angry, you hurry up and call the shots.

Li Zhi was also stunned, this little thing can cause resentment among the people, how did my people become so impetuous?

He didn't believe it at first, and sent someone to investigate outside the palace, but the result was really so, so Li Zhi had no choice but to come forward to hold a meeting in the Liangyi Palace, and the most special point of this meeting was that Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi appeared in the Liangyi Hall at the same time, and sat next to Li Zhi, although there had been before, but this was a very formal meeting, and on this occasion, they still did not appear at the same time.

Exactly: the sun and the moon are in the sky.
