043 The Man Behind the Pot
In fact, it can't be said to be a coincidence, and this thing taken out by the colt can't be ignored in the eyes of either party, and you don't need to have much insight, and you can know how much benefit it will be if you think about it with a little brain.
This is a big killer that even the prime minister can't control himself, which basically means that whoever gets involved will have to go bankrupt. What kind of salt and iron tea, you have to line up at the back.
The production cost of flower paste is also very low, basically the same as tea, it is grown from the ground, and it is not a precious thing, it is actually a commonplace rice sac flower.
If it can really be implemented step by step, all parties will not only gain wealth, not only the gains and losses in the court, but also a deeper temptation that people can't resist, that is, to expand the territory.
Whether it is Emperor Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, or those court officials behind them, once it comes to the issue of resisting foreign races and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, as long as there is a practical way and there is no need to fight with national fortunes, no one dares to say that they do not support it. This can't be said to be holding your nose and forbearing, it must come from the heart.
This is no longer a matter of merit or merit, once you can really get your homeland back, from the emperor to the courtiers, you will be famous through the ages, and the descendants will talk about it if they have something to do, and the glory of the ancestors will not be glorious first, and their faces including their descendants are not generally bright.
"Your Majesty, the king said that this thing hurts the heavens and the peace, and the sale to the Western Xia and Liao States cannot be completed in a year or two, during which if the other party finds out that it is the imperial court, the plan will fail halfway, and this thing must not be related to the official family and the imperial court. This matter can only be initiated by the people, and if necessary, the imperial court will send troops to crusade against it, and make a deep hatred and deep harm to make the envoys of the two countries believe that it is true. β
What do these three big heads think, Hong Tao can't fully figure it out, everyone has selfishness, including himself, as long as he can handle official affairs well first, and then control his selfishness within a certain range, it is understandable.
However, the strategy proposed by the emperor was a bit too naΓ―ve, and let the army plant and refine the flower paste, and then the imperial court would import it to the two countries through the field. Convenience is convenient, but the sequelae are also big, once it is explored by the Western Xia and the Liao State, it is not a border trouble, but the two countries join forces to destroy the Song Dynasty. This kind of behavior is no different from digging people's ancestral graves, and no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he can't bear it.
"That's according to Jin Qing's meaning...... "Wang Anshi seemed to understand something, but he couldn't get it accurately.
"This matter is too confidential, I didn't write it on the note, I plan to explain it to His Majesty in person......" Hong Tao took a deep breath and saluted the emperor again.
"This place is not a court, but it doesn't hurt to say it." The emperor probably has been bothering a lot about this matter these days, whether it is the new party or the old party, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he not only has to play a balance between the two boats, but also has to always consider his own interests, it is indeed not easy, and it is indeed exhausting. Now it's been a long day, and I don't have much strength to speak.
"The ointment cannot be taken out alone and sold in the field, that would be tantamount to admitting that the imperial court knows, and the only way is to carry it into other goods and sell it to Western Xia and Liao, so that there must be a kind of goods and a group of merchants to deal with this matter. However, the matter was very involved, and ordinary businessmen could not control or trust it, so the minister planned to handle it himself. From refining ointment to preparing caravans to transport goods, all of them were undertaken by the ministers independently. On the surface, it is the minister's private property and family affairs, but in fact, it is only reported to His Majesty and the two prime ministers, and no fourth person knows the inside story. The minister is a relative, and he can't contribute to the country in the court, let alone lead the troops to gallop in the territory. Even if the matter is not secret, the official family and the court only need to bring me to justice, and the internal and external doubts can be quelled, and even the broken wrist of a strong man is not counted, and the impact on the official family and the court is the least. Hong Tao still maintained a solemn posture, lowered his head and finished all the words he had thought about for a long time in one breath, and bowed to the emperor again.
ββ¦β¦ You, you...... I ...... "Don't look at Hong Tao's voice, the repercussions are not small. Emperor Shenzong stood up as if there was a scorpion under his buttocks, pointed at the horse and nodded for a long time, but he didn't say a whole word.
He completely understood what he said, and he made sense of everything in every word, and it was indeed a good way to advance and retreat freely. There are so many relatives of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is understandable that they don't notice a scum or something for a while, it's not a matter at all, in fact, the previous Wang Shu is not far from scum in the eyes of the emperor.
But when it comes to the festival, you can immediately see who is close and who is sparse. From the emperor's original intention, I still hope that the concubine and the princess will live in a down-to-earth manner, neither too close to the courtiers, nor get involved in the affairs of the court, and honestly go to the Flying Eagle Society.
"Jin Qing is the eldest husband, please give Wang a worship...... Please give Sima a bow...... "It's a pity that before the emperor could organize the language, the two old men were like seeing a living ancestor, almost at the same time, they got up almost at the same time, and at the same time they shook deeply at Hong Tao, and the words in their mouths were the same, and the expression on their faces was even more virtuous, and there was hope in their grief and indignation.
"You two old things are really willing to give up! That's right, my sister is not yours, and my brother-in-law is not. β
Hong Tao really didn't feel his blood boiling, what he wanted most was to beat up these two old men. However, Emperor Shenzong's performance made him feel a little warm in his heart, and he was still a humane emperor, and he did not take such a big risk in vain. As for these two prime ministers, they are really qualified, and the more dedicated the politician is, the less human he is.
In fact, the emperor's human touch only existed for a moment, and the two prime ministers agreed, and he couldn't oppose it on his own. What's more, it is indeed beneficial and harmless for the horse to come forward to handle this matter, and if you carry the black cauldron, who can have a relative qualified, even if you cut it directly, there will not be too much resistance in the court.
What's more, the colt can't get out of the emperor's control, and no one will form an alliance with a colt. In this dynasty, just the name of a relative is almost the same as waste, and if you make an alliance with waste, will anyone be willing to follow?
Once the general direction is set, and the specific people who handle it are also available, the following things will be much easier. The horse then went to improve the specific implementation plan, and the emperor also specially assigned him two eunuchs as secretaries to be responsible for copying and writing.
Don't think about going home, before this matter is completely settled, the horse can only live in the palace, but not the harem, but the forbidden army dormitory in the imperial city, and get a suite.
As for what the emperor and the two prime ministers are doing, even if the meeting does not allow the horses to participate in Hong Tao, they can guess it, it is nothing more than three things. The first is to divide the income, such a big deal can't be swallowed by a family, and there is a group of little brothers behind everyone waiting to be fed, which one is not enough to feed is troublesome.
The second is to find an excuse to organize people to formulate relevant laws and regulations, so as to avoid the Great Song Dynasty from falling into the same situation as the Western Xia and Liao States in advance. Everyone has basically reached a consensus on this point, especially Wang Anshi, his current addiction has not been completely eliminated, and he will commit it every other day.
In the end, I wondered how to control the pony, I can't really entrust such a big thing to someone and then rest assured that the pie will fall from the sky, not to mention that it is just a pony, even if the emperor personally goes to deal with the ministers, I don't feel at ease. Therefore, it is necessary to put a few chains around the neck of the horse, and if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens, and you are prepared.
It's autumn in the blink of an eye, and the wind after dark brings a little coolness. Hong Tao lived in the imperial city for ten days before he was allowed to return home, which also means that the high-level has reached an agreement, the stage of talking on paper has passed, and the whole plan will be transferred to the specific implementation stage.
