Chapter 30: I can't help it
"My lord, that's it, I haven't started yet, and I have to transfer people from Beijing. It's only because of His Royal Highness Changle that he wants some Chenguang to decorate. ”
After telling his father Li Tao about the canned food, Li Tao was not good. In the past few days, he has been making up how to go into battle lightly all day long, and the Tugu Hun Fang people called Dad, and then conquered Goguryeo in the east, fought against the Western Turks in the west, and killed the gods and Buddhas in the west.
"The land of Shandong also needs powerful people. Moreover, Zuo Xiaowei Zhonghong has a lot of old things, and if his father is promoted to one or two, it should be of great benefit. ”
At this time, Li Tao was thinking about more than just his own power. In terms of power, it is impossible for him to compare with the eldest grandson Wuji. Coupled with the relationship with the two generations of Tang Emperors, Li Tao also set out to break away from the military system at this time and turn to the administrative line.
The goal in the short term is to become a prime minister. The long-term goal is to cultivate a suitable successor, at least to sustain the family.
According to the objective law since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, all the families whose ancestors are fighting to the point of bursting will have to burp sooner or later, unless you are the emperor.
Li Tao felt that he had no problem mixing with the Eight Pillars Country one or two hundred years ago.
"In Yizhou, Dedi has a lot of manpower." After a pause, Li Zhen said again, "The Lang Evil King clan is the mother family of His Royal Highness Anping, and although it is now dilapidated, it is also very famous. If you use fame, the Lang Evil King Clan may not be unwilling to make another storm. The means of virtue and brother, the magnates of Luoyang in Beijing are well aware. My lord, the Zhongyi Society is now much more powerful than it was last year. Now I just have to wait for a message, even if it is thousands of miles away, the gray sugar in Guangzhou, I will wait for him Feng Gong what price. Feng Gong can only ask for any price. ”
As Feng An, who showed Li Dong the south gate, he finally pulled the national brothers to make a fortune together. However, the black-hearted factory owners are all shameless in asking for money and all kinds of price reductions. It's really miserable.
If it weren't for the fact that he Feng had a big face, those Lingnan fangs would have been in chaos a long time ago.
"The way of the businessman, the way of the small road."
Li Tao drank a cup of bird's tongue, and his thick and powerful fingers tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair. This Taishi chair is made by Poly Seiko, which took three months and is outrageously expensive. But it's really cool, which makes Li Tao like it very much. And sitting upright on the Taishi chair, his knees naturally drooped, and he felt quite angry.
Don't say it's him, even if the emperor is in the palace, there are also thirty or forty such Taishi chairs, as well as furniture such as strips, shelves, and group stools, which are really pleasing to the eye.
"What the adults are saying is that the way of the merchant is really a small way." Li Zhen did not refute either. However, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Li Tao in a low voice, "But my lord, Brother De told me something." I don't know...... Should I not talk about it? ”
"Huh?!"
Li Tao's nasal voice dragged on for a long time.
Brother Li stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "My lord, Jizhou Shicheng Iron Factory." What is the quota of the Ministry of Industry? ”
"The secrets of the imperial court, how can you inquire at will?"
"Your Excellency. What's the point of saying such a well-known secret? Li Zhen was a little disdainful. Jizhou Shicheng Iron Factory, the quota of the Ministry of Industry is 10,000 catties, but my lord, do you guess how much extra iron is in the warehouse? ”
"How much?"
Li Tao continued to taste the tea, and when he ate a tea stalk, he took a sip and spit it in the palm of his hand, "You may not be able to get more than 5,000 catties, right?" ”
"My lord, you underestimate Brother De, right?"
Seeing that Li Zhen's expression did not seem to be fake, Li Zhen was startled and said in a low voice: "Are you trying to rebel?!" ”
"Why do you say that?!"
Li Zhen was shocked, "The imperial court has already had official documents, and in addition to the quota, it is the iron factory's own storage. If it is used to build ordnance, it will be purchased by the three departments of the Ministry of War, Civil Affairs and Industry, and if it is a farm tool, it will be sold exclusively at the mouth of the Zhanghe River. Supervised by the Youzhou Prefecture at its discretion ......"
Li Tao pondered for a while, and he suddenly felt that while the emperor was calculating Zhang De, he might not be accurate. According to the emperor...... In other words, according to the calculations of the Ministry of Industry and the supervisors, 10,000 catties per day is almost the limit of Zhang De's current life. After a year and a half, if you catch more slaves, maybe you can increase it to 15,000 catties, anyway, the amount that Zhang De now reports to the imperial court is also more than 10,000 catties.
It's just that, looking at Li Zhen's expression, Li Tao suddenly felt that Zhang De's possible inventory was very amazing.
"My lord, let me bring a message to my lord."
Li Zhen was cautious, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, then he gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred and fifty miles up the mouth of the Luanhe River in Pingzhou, there is an iron mine!" ”
Burst!
A mouthful of tongue squirted out, and Li Tao's whole body exploded: "You really want to rebel?!" ”
"My lord! Pitchers have ears! ”
Li Zhen was almost scared by his father's yell, his legs trembled, and then said, "It's just a discovery, it's just a discovery, it's not mined!" ”
There are quite a few miscellaneous barbarian tribes in that place, and the number of Han people is fifty-fifty, and the matter of Pingzhou has to be found from Hebei Province. Why did Zhang De look for Liu Hongji, an old rascal? Why do you talk and laugh with Fang Xuanling? Is he fed? Isn't it because there's a big iron mine here?
As long as Goguryeo can be killed, this place will definitely be sinicized, and it will be completely sinicized!
The Tang Dynasty will definitely move the people to Shibian, although the population is not large at this time, but it will definitely do so!
"Iron Ore ......" Li Tao was shocked, he really didn't know what to say to Zhang Gongjin, his nephew. This kind of tossing method is better than directly returning to a princess who dies early and lives early.
"Who else knows?"
"Not much, it's all Dedi's own people. Even Zou Guogong didn't know it. ”
"And he's willing to tell you?"
"In addition to his son, there is also Cheng Sanlang."
"Huh!" Li Tao couldn't help but laugh angrily, "You are really more affectionate than Jin Jianye!" ”
"Adult Prize......
"Shut up!"
Boom!
Li Tao slapped his palm on the armrest, his eyes widened, "This iron mine, tell Zhang De, if it doesn't exist, you don't know!" ”
"But my lord, this iron ore ...... It's huge. ”
Don't Zhang De will let you pass on the word to me?! Li Tao pondered for a while: "Before Goguryeo is destroyed, you can't touch it, you must not touch it." ”
As soon as he thought of Li Dong, Li Tao felt creepy. This emperor is not the same as the emperor, too different. only talks about the decisive victory in the battle array, but I am afraid that among the emperors, there is no one who is unsurpassed. But there have been many emperors on horseback since ancient times, but this emperor is also like a fish in water above the court.
The emperor who came to power at the age of twenty-eight was a former general of Tiance......
"Iron ore can't be touched!"
Li Tao repeatedly advised, "Presumably Cheng Chubi will also order like this." However, the method of preservation mentioned by Zhang De is really a sharp weapon, and it must be carefully raised without further ado. For my father, I'm going to visit Shuozhou tonight. ”
Speaking of this, Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought in his heart: Zhang Caozhi is very calculating, I will never support this iron mine, but I will intersect with this method of preserving, I will return one, compare the two, and I will definitely support this one.
"What?! That old man actually came back from Saibei? ”
"It's back. It's been more than ten days since I came back. ”
Li Tao said and said to Li Zhen, "I'm afraid Zhang De also knew the news a long time ago, so he asked you to go back to Beijing." ”
"I wanted to go back to Beijing by myself, and Dedi didn't persuade me."
Li Tao sneered: "You rammer, if you are persuasive, what is so strange?" You left it to your own devices, letting go of his calculations. ”
"My own brother, how can there be such a thing?"
"Stop, you don't have the same poison as Cheng Chubi."
Seeing that his son trusted Zhang De so much, Li Tao was also uncomfortable, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It stands to reason that Zhang De can get a lot of wealth if he plans like this, if Li Zhen didn't lie to him, Zhang De would really be able to store more than 10,000 catties of iron every day, and a few years later, with their power, it is really not so easy for the emperor to move the bear children of the Zhongyi Society.
There are rich people and people with equipment, and they seem to be scattered, but in fact they are restrained and powerful. Compared with the boss family, it is a little bit stronger.
In this way, after admonishing my father and Shuozhou Yankee, I worked together to make a foundation in Shandong. The rest of the matter will be handed over to Zhang De. ”
"My lord, this is reasonable!"
Li Zhen was immediately overjoyed, and then his eyes lit up, "If you can eat this kind of profit, it will be even happier than being a five-year zaifu." ”
Hearing his son's nonsense, the corners of Li Tao's mouth twitched, and he scolded in his heart: If you really do it for five years, don't you eat it if you want to eat it? What stupidity!
It's just that he couldn't say this and scolded Li Zhen, so he had to sigh and secretly say that Zhang De's actuarial calculations are really pervasive.
Don't say that Li Zhen is young and hot-hearted, even if he is on the battlefield, he has to be shocked by this heartbeat. This long-term deed, not to mention the military department, is the emperor himself, for the sake of his posthumous name, he must not hesitate to do it.
It's a serious deal.
However, he couldn't eat alone, and he had to find two people. One is naturally the capital protector of Anbei, and the other is Cheng Chubi's father...... (To be continued.) )
