Chapter 456: Mediation

Buildings!

Li Zhi closed a piece of music, put it aside, shook his head, glanced at Wu Meiniang beside him, sighed, seemed to have made some kind of decision, suddenly took off a piece of purple jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Wu Meiniang beside him, and said with a little reluctance: "I lost." ”

Wu Meiniang happily took the piece of purple jade, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

This piece of purple jade has a great background, it was given to Li Zhi by the eldest grandson queen, when Wu Meiniang re-entered the palace, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen had already passed away, and she did not receive any gifts from her in-laws, but Wu Meiniang is such a woman, she wants to impact the rear position, then she must be perfect, this piece of purple jade is of great significance to her.

"Don't thank me, if you want to thank Han Yi."

Li Zhi sighed in distress and said: "This Han Yi is really powerful, all the merchants in the two cities together are not his opponents alone, not only that, but now it is also a major crisis of the closure of the West Market, which is really surprising." At first, I thought he was losing, and I was still hesitating whether to help Han Yi, but I didn't expect that it would only take a few days to make a shocking reversal, and I couldn't react a little, Datang's good voice, it's really-alas, by the way, how do you know that Han Yi will win? ”

It turned out that a few days ago, he talked to Wu Meiniang about this matter, and he felt that Han Yi had lost, but Wu Meiniang said that Han Yi had not lost, and the two made a bet.

Wu Meiniang just smiled a little mischievously, but did not explain the reason, but changed the topic and said: "I don't know how Your Majesty plans to deal with Dai Ji and other household officials?" ”

Li Zhi didn't ask much, his brows furrowed slightly, he picked up the piece of music, and said: "I can't blame the household department for this matter, although the household department secretly helps the two cities." But this move does not affect the overall situation, the reason why the two cities fell into such a situation, the responsibility is still on the businessmen of the two cities themselves, I feel that Dai Ji's confession seems to be a bit of a fuss. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the concubines." This confession is very promising. ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Anyway, the West Market was built by the imperial court, how can the imperial court allow the West Market to be closed, but in today's situation, if it is not stopped, then the West Market may really suffer a heavy blow, and at that time, the household department is naturally duty-bound, so the household department will definitely try its best to keep the West Market." However. They are not Han Yi's opponents when they do business, if they use their powers, after all, Han Yi is now deeply favored, if there is no legitimate reason, they are not easy to intervene, then there are only two ways, one is to ask Han Yi to stop. The second is to ask His Majesty to intermediate. Naturally, there is no shame in begging Your Majesty, and if you ask Han Yi, the household is shameless, and the concubine thinks that this piece is Gao Shangshu asked Dai Shilang to go up. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then what do you say I should do?" ”

Wu Meiniang didn't answer and asked, "Your Majesty still plans not to come forward?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Of course I won't let Xishi suffer a heavy blow, but when so many of them bullied Han Yi. I also didn't come forward, and now that Han Yi is counterattacking, I have intervened, which doesn't seem fair to Han Yi. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "I don't think Han Yi wants the West Market to close, he does it." He must want the household officials to beg him, so that he can take the initiative, Your Majesty must not forget that Han Yi still has to be in charge of the night market, how big is the North Lane, and it is a place of fireworks, and it is a night song all year round, which is of little help to the night market. In addition, things will evolve to the current situation, Your Majesty has also helped Han Yi a lot, if it weren't for His Majesty's support for Han Yi, this North Lane Market would not have been opened at all, in this matter, the concubine thought that His Majesty still owed the household a favor, why didn't Your Majesty take the opportunity to return this favor to the household department. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What you said is good, and Han Yi has a lot of things to do at the moment, and I don't want him to spend too much energy on this matter, so as not to delay his business." Saying that, he said outside: "Zhang Desheng." ”

"The villain is here."

"You immediately order someone to invite the Taiwei, the right servant, the Hubu Shangshu, the Hubu Shilang, and Han Yi to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes."

North Lane.

When Han Yi received Li Zhi's command, he couldn't help but scold: "It's really hateful that this old fox wants to do it in one step. As he spoke, he said to Liu E again: "Sister Liu, it's not that I don't keep my promises, but that the enemy is too cunning, and I think it's difficult for you to get out of this evil breath." ”

Liu E hurriedly said: "What kind of enemy, that's the head of the household, okay, okay, you go quickly, how can I be qualified to care about this." ”

Han Yi nodded and sighed, "It's really boring." ”

Inside the Liangyi Palace.

Li Zhi sat on the low couch, his eyes looked left and right, except for Chu Suiliang, who was still so strong and straight, and the rest of the people were almost all low eyebrows and pondering, including the eldest grandson Wuji, coughed lightly and said, "Dai Shilang." ”

"Wechen is here."

Dai Ji hurriedly stood up.

Li Zhi picked up the piece of music, handed it over, and said, "Take this piece back." ”

Dai Ji was stunned.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The dispute between the two cities and the North Lane was originally acquiesced by the imperial court, and the household department has not intervened in it, and I am very satisfied with this, so the result has nothing to do with you no matter what, so why should you confess your guilt and take it back." ”

Zhang Desheng immediately stepped forward, took the piece, and then handed it to Dai Ji.

Dai Ji took the recital tremblingly, and hurriedly thanked the emperor, there was already a cold sweat behind him, fortunately Gao Cheng stopped him in time, otherwise, Li Zhi wanted to spare him, but I am afraid that he would not find an excuse.

After Dai Ji stepped back, Li Zhi said again: "Han Yi." ”

"Wechen is here."

"Are you guilty?"

"I don't know."

Li Zhi asked weakly, and Han Yi answered neatly.

Li Zhi snorted: "You're about to close the West Market, and you still don't know the crime?" ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, this person goes to a high place, and the water flows to a low place, and Weichen can't control it." ”

Li Zhi said: "You are still arguing here. ”

Gao Cheng said suddenly: "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that Han Yushi is doing this. Han Yushi said it well, he didn't use any illegal means to force the merchants of the West Market to go to the North Lane, it was the merchants of the West City who took the initiative to go to the North Lane, but it was Han Yushi's intelligence that was admirable. The reason why Xishi ended up in such a situation. I can only blame myself for being inferior to others, and in the case of such a big gap in strength, I am still defeated, and I can't complain about anyone, and I can't complain about anyone. However, I also ask Han Yushi to raise his noble hand and let the West City go. ”

Depend on! You have said all the good and ugly things, what else can I say. Han Yi smiled and said: "Gao Shangshu praised it falsely, how can he be a subordinate official." ”

Li Zhi snorted: "Gao Aiqing." You don't need to help him speak, the two cities have been made into a miasma by him, how can I spare him. Saying that, he said to the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang: "I don't know how the Taiwei and the right servant shoot think about this matter?" ”

Chu Suiliang's eyes were drummed, and he was about to speak, but the eldest grandson Wuji preemptively said: "Back to Your Majesty, the first emperor often said that with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; Take the ancient as a mirror. You can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. The two cities are under such a big advantage. It is unbelievable that it was a complete defeat, but it can also be seen that there are still many problems in the two cities, and the imperial court should find a way to solve them, instead of taking credit. Of course, Han Yushi's intelligence and courage are also really admirable, so the old minister thinks that Han Yushi is not only without fault, but meritorious. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What the Taiwei said is also very reasonable. ”

The eldest grandson is an old fox. I don't know why Li Zhi said this, Han Yi was pulled up by Li Zhi, and now he must be very happy in his heart, he said this, just to let these ministers praise Han Yi, admit Han Yi's strength, and prove that he didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning.

And now that Han Yi has the upper hand, the imperial court must intervene and help the two cities speak, if Pingkangli is legitimate, then this is unfair to Han Yi, this kind of thing is indispensable.

Li Zhi asked again: "Then how do you Aiqing think this matter should be solved?" ”

Dai Ji originally wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gao Cheng with his eyes.

The eldest grandson Wuji also kept silent.

Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji's tacit understanding, needless to say, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the West Market is planned and built by the imperial court, and it also bears the heavy responsibility of trade with all parts of the Western Regions. ”

In fact, everyone means this, but Gao Cheng as a household official, the two cities were made like this, they are not too embarrassed to open this mouth, the eldest grandson Wuji, as a captain, is already in power, if he says so, others will say that he excludes the party henchmen and bullies the small, he stopped Chu Suiliang from opening his mouth in front of him, because he knew that Chu Suiliang would say this, so he first said good things, and then let Chu Suiliang say this.

In fact, Li Zhi didn't think so, there was no way, the imperial court would not allow Xishi to be hit so hard, but he couldn't open this mouth, Chu Suiliang was the most suitable for this, anyway, he often did this offending thing.

But Li Zhi was not in a hurry to express his position, and asked Han Yi again: "Han Yi, what do you think?" ”

So many of you are bullying me alone, are you sorry? Han Yi doesn't know what they are thinking, but there is no way, this is the fine tradition of our Huaxia, only those who are on the side of the imperial court can have meat to eat, otherwise, they will definitely die.

However, as a person from later generations, how could he not take this into account, Han Yi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were slightly red, because he was young, and when this expression came out, it was really pitiful for me, which made Changsun Wuji and others feel a little inexplicably guilty, and after the expression was enough, Han Yi said: "Weichen only feels wronged." ”

Chu Suiliang immediately said: "I know that this is unfair to you, but as an official of the imperial court, you should think about the overall situation." ”

Then you will make up for the loss for me! I have signed contracts with those people, if I regret it, then how will I do this business in the future, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you have the ability to do this business, see if I don't cheat you so that my mother doesn't know. Han Yi said with a sad face: "The right servant has misunderstood, the reason why the lower official feels aggrieved is because Wei Chen did all this for the sake of the imperial court, but no one can understand the hard work of the lower official." ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji and the others, were also confused.

Han Yi took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the list of merchants in the West Market who have reached a cooperation intention with Weichen, and I would like to invite Your Majesty and you to take a look." ”

Li Zhi was slightly surprised in his heart, what are you doing with this? But he didn't ask much, and with a wave of his hand, Zhang Desheng first hurriedly handed a copy to Li Zhi, and then distributed a copy to the eldest grandson Wuji.

A few people looked at it, but they didn't see any mystery in it.

Li Zhi asked, "Why are you showing us this?" ”

Han Yi said: "I don't know if Your Majesty and you have noticed that these merchants are all small businessmen, and they are also unknown in the West Market, no one will pay attention to them, and in addition, they have one thing in common, that is, they are not involved in the food shop." ”

Gao Ying's eyebrows opened slightly, as if he understood something.

Li Zhi still didn't understand, and said, "Even so, so what? ”

Han Yi replied: "The reason why Weichen expanded the scale of North Lane and worked so hard to invite these people from the two cities was actually to make room for the night market. ”

Gao Cheng suddenly realized, so it is no wonder that he dared to expand the scale unscrupulously, and also recruited people from the two cities.

Li Zhi was surprised: "Make room for the night market?" ”

Han Yi said: "Not bad. The original intention of the establishment of the night market was to help some poor people to find a livelihood, so it was necessary to add new people to come in, but now that the two cities are saturated, if some seats are not freed up, then these new merchants will not be able to enter. ”

Dai Ji hurriedly said: "But this has been said in advance, build some sheds outside." ”

"But it's not a long-term solution."

Han Yi shook his head and said: "And the current pattern of the West Market is not suitable for the night market, because the night market mainly relies on restaurants and other restaurants to support it, and few people will choose to go out to buy anything at night, but because our people in Datang are used to eating at home, and there is a curfew, even if the people are willing to eat in the restaurant, it is only a meal at noon, so there are fewer restaurants and wine shops in the two cities, because the profits are meager, it is better to sell rice to make money."

But if the curfew is relaxed, then there will be two more dinners and suppers, which is equivalent to at least three times the profit, then the catering industry will definitely develop, and it will make more money than many industries, and the merchants I am recruiting to North Lane are inconspicuous businessmen in all walks of life, they are going to stay or staying, it is not really important for the two cities, but if their shops are transformed into wine shops and restaurants, then the same piece of land, the value created will be much more. The two cities will also attract many customers because of the existence of these restaurants and wine shops. Of course, the most important thing is to help many people find a livelihood. ”
