After eating in Princess Lanling's mansion, it was already dim, and all the account books of Chengyang and Xincheng were loaded back into their respective carriages again, and the three aunts were fine, which made him feel a lot more relieved, and it was time to be ruthless.

Originally, I wanted to let Bai Chun, Jinghui and those wealthy families slowly consume, so that the impact could be minimized, so as not to make the entire economic market of Datang in trouble.

But at Concubine Xiao Shufei of the Nine Immortals Gate, when he knew that Yiyang and Gao An alone had hoarded more than 400,000 yuan, Li Hong realized how much these people loved money! Only then did he realize that the problem was far more serious than he thought!

With so many wealthy families hoarding old money combined, how much old money has not been recycled? It's an unknown enough to shock anyone, including him!

If they are all exchanged according to the consistent money of seven or eight hundred Wen, Datang may have to lose more than a year's income!

"What has Xue Yi been busy with lately? When will you get married? When the time comes, remember to inform me, and I will also be able to ask for a glass of wine. After Li Hong ate and wiped it clean, he looked at Chengyang who was sitting next to him and said.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Xincheng are both compatriots with their father, especially Princess Chengyang, who is deeply loved by her father, and is willing to marry Li Lingyue to her and Xue Shao, the third son of her and boots, in history, it is enough to see how much Li Zhi loves Chengyang.

And the princess of Xincheng is naturally the same, although she has no children under her knees, and occasionally quarrels with her current husband Wei Zhengju, but every time as long as her father knows, she doesn't ask about thirty-seven twenty-one, she first reprimands Wei Zhengju with her head and face, and Wei Zhengju is now a very wretched horse.

Princess Lanling is loved by her father, but after Li Zhi came to power, perhaps because of sympathy or because she has no mother, coupled with Lanling's plain and indifferent character, she has never extended her hand to the royal family, and she is also deeply loved by her father, plus the relationship between the three of them is better, and her father treats them much better than others.

And after Li Hong came out of Concubine Xiao Shu, the first thing he thought of was that if he wanted to forcibly recover the old money, then he had to check the accounts of the three sisters who had a good relationship with his father, as long as they had nothing wrong, other things would be much easier.

At the very least, the father and the queen mother will not obstruct themselves openly or covertly, although they will not support themselves to do so, but they will not oppose it clearly.

Princess Lanling's porter had been kneeling at the door, and when Li Hong came out, he heard everyone's footsteps and began to kowtow to the ground.

Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to him, just turned his head and said: "Take care of these subordinates, so as not to corrupt the door style, watch people put down dishes, and don't let you go in to ask to see you if you don't give money. ”

"I don't need you to worry about my family affairs." Lan Ling said angrily.

is like Li Lingyue, as soon as she goes out in the backyard, she hasn't stopped, this subordinate is not good, and that subordinate is unruly, after accusing Xincheng of saying Chengyang, after saying Chengyang, it will be his turn.

If the three girls hadn't seen him grow up now, they would have beaten him a long time ago, and now they beat him, one is that their little strength hits people like tickling. Again: In front of many people, it is still necessary to save some face for His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

The prince's personal guards are already waiting at the door, this does not need Xiaoxue to inform them, Lanling and they will go to inform the prince's mansion, if something goes wrong on the way back in the middle of the night, no one can afford to bear this responsibility.

The torches illuminated the door of the princess's mansion as bright as day, and the prince's car Li Hong did not get on, but still had to walk back to the East Palace.

The cold wind blowing, which can make some dizzy heads sober and sober after checking the account for most of the day.

Although Chengyang and Xincheng are elders, but now that the prince's guards arrive, the prince's etiquette must be followed, so they have to wait for the prince to leave before they can leave.

Looking at Li Hong in the cold wind and walking away slowly, Bai Chun also came to pick up the prince, who was being held in his arms by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment, and from time to time Bai Chun screamed, under the firelight, it was faintly seen that His Royal Highness the Prince's wolf paws were stretched out to the collar of others to keep warm.

Yang Wu and Lian Tie behind him followed him like shadows, just like Li Hong's two shadows, silently following behind him without making a sound, walking like a cat, and rarely hearing footsteps.

"Is Lijingmen still in the hands of the two of you?" Li Hong asked suddenly.

"Yes, Your Highness, it is still in the hands of the slave." Yang Wu and Lian Tie were stunned, and Yang Wu replied.

"In two days, find out how many powerful people in the wealthy family are in Chang'an City, and if possible, find out how much old money they have hoarded as much as possible." Li Hong exhaled a breath of hot air and said.

"Yes, Your Highness, the slave and maid will do it."

Li Hong smiled and nodded, tilted his head to look at Bai Chun who was held in his arms, and said: "Give you three days to let Jingwei check whether those great Confucians are really as poor as they appear on the surface, dig from the roots, and see if they are hoarding old money." ”

"Yes, sir."

In the next court affairs, the people in front of him can't help, so they can only make other arrangements after returning to the East Palace.

Although Bai Chun and Jinghui are capable, they both lack some very spicy energy when they are businessmen, and the old money is still so difficult now, which has a lot to do with their abilities.

Bai Chun's advantage is that no one wants to go through the back door, everything is done according to the law, and he admits death. The shortcomings are also obvious, the kindness of a woman sometimes makes her unable to deter a wealthy family, and because of her status as a woman, people unconsciously look down on her.

Not to mention Jinghui, he has more advantages than Bai Chun and knows how to be flexible. But because of his status as an official, when he deals with these things, he will become careless, and he can't show the ruthlessness of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.

To put it bluntly, whether it is Bai Chun or Jinghui, they all lack the essence that profiteers should have!

It's a pity that Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are two, Li Yifu has been busy like a dog in recent years, and the improvement of the household registration system has already made him anxious, plus there is still a strategy for the landlord class to annex the people's fields, it is impossible to hand these over to him.

Xu Jingzong is old, and entering the coffin is a matter of the past two years, Xu Yanbo is depressed every day, although he will still come to the East Palace to be on duty, but he obviously remembers Xu Jingzong very much.

Li Hong pondered for a long time, and made trouble around him for a long time, but in the end, there was still a lack of a person who could understand some economics, be able to act ruthlessly at critical moments, and be able to do whatever it took to achieve the goal.

The cold shouts and a curse in front attracted the attention of the prince's personal guards, and Yu Tuqi naturally ran over with a few without greeting.

Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to it, in the middle of the night in the cold winter, a gust of cold wind blew, and those who could wander the streets were half-dead drunkards who were not only the city guards, but also the half-dead drunkards, which has become more and more common in Chang'an City in recent years.

After a while, Wei Tu Qi ran back and continued to escort Li Hong forward, and the original noisy sound in front of him gradually disappeared, and he could vaguely see that a team of city guards was dragging a soft body, and it seemed that they were going to throw it at which corner.

"What's the matter?" Bai Chun was very curious, but the main thing was to see Li Hong sullen, and he didn't say a few words along the way, wanting to divert the attention of the prince.

Wei Tuqi walked two steps slowly, and after missing Li Hong and Bai Chun, he was a few steps behind the two and said: "A drunk scholar said that he himself passed the imperial examination last year, but he was replaced, so he has been staying in Chang'an and has no way to sue him, and he borrows wine every day to kill his sorrows." ”

"Can this still be replaced?" Bai Chun asked in surprise.

After finishing speaking, he involuntarily looked at Li Hong next to him, and saw that the prince's face was even more gloomy.

Wei Tuqi said helplessly: "There are many impostors, and he is not alone, his knowledge is almost the same, some people play well and some people play badly, there is no way to say." ”

"Guozijian's or Hongwenguan? Or the students of Chongwenkan? Li Hong asked.

"Back to Your Highness, this last general doesn't know, it's just that when I went over to ask Wu Wei, I heard them say a few words." Wei Tu Qi said respectfully.

"Intercept him in the past, bring people from Wuwei, send people to Di Renjie, and let Dali Temple interrogate him tomorrow. Remember not to alarm the Ministry of Rites, the Kokuzijian and the Hongwen Pavilion. Li Hong frowned and pondered: Maybe it can be found out from this person why the students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan hanged themselves to death.

After waiting for Wei Tuqi to leave, Li Hong involuntarily patted his head again, check a fart, this murder has only been two months now, this scholar took a scientific examination last year, and he has already left Guozijian or Hongwen Hall, he can know a fart.

"Go and go, let Yu Tuqi bring people over, don't send them to Dali Temple." Li Hong waved his hand in annoyance and said.

Bai Chun looked at Li Hong suspiciously, he didn't understand that the prince had changed his mind again, didn't he investigate the case of the national eunuch?

However, she is not easy to ask, because of the old money and new money, if she can be tough or ruthless, she will not give her master a headache now, so she doesn't dare to provoke Li Hong now.

Coming out of the princess's mansion just now, Li Hong put his hand into her collar to retaliate against her for procrastinating on the exchange of new money and old money in the past few years.

Yu Tu Qi walked quickly towards this side with a soft and collapsed human figure in one hand, and at this time, they had already marched to the gate of Chengtian Gate, and they could enter the imperial city in a few more steps.

The glass-covered street lamps on both sides of the road illuminate the straight Suzaku Street in a dim light, and the majesty and momentum of the Suzaku Gate can be seen at a glance even in the cold night.

Looking at the unadult-looking and drunken scholar, Li Hong said lightly: "After returning to the East Palace, find a random place to throw it down, and after the wine wakes up tomorrow, I will send someone to ask questions." ”

Li Hong realized that perhaps from the impostor of the scholar and the first thing, he could get the Guozijian and Hongwenguan out of the control of the Kong and Yan families. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
