"Jingyang?" Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Shimin and was very surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, Jingyang!" Li Shimin smiled, his eyes were bright, and he said to Xia Hongsheng: "In the Tang Dynasty, if you talk about businessmen, can that county have more Jingyang?" If the new commercial and tax laws are implemented, Jingyang's foundation is the most mature and the most likely to succeed. Although Jingyang belongs to the land of Gyeonggi, there are no Shi forces involved in it, and you are already very familiar with the situation in Jingyang, and it is the most convenient to arrange. Moreover, you have been in Jingyang in the past few years, and the benefits you have brought to the people of Jingyang have made you quite popular in Jingyang. In this way, resistance may be reduced. Moreover, Jingyang Academy has just been divided into disciplines, and you must be able to take care of it at all times. If there is really trouble, with the fastest speed, it will only take more than half an hour to arrive in Jingyang from Chang'an, and I can know the situation at all times, help you, and implement convenience. In addition, there are many times when I need to ask you for advice, and if it is far away, it will be extremely inconvenient. Therefore, it is best to simply be in Jingyang! ”

Li Shimin said, of course, Xia Hongsheng also took it into account. In Jingyang, nature is the best. It's just that Xia Hongsheng was worried that Jingyang was too close to Chang'an, and it would be inconvenient to let go of his hands and feet, so he gave up.

"Father-in-law, although Jingyang is good, it has a foundation. But it's also too close to Chang'an. The officials of the clan kept an eye on the son-in-law, but it was not convenient for the son-in-law to have no scruples and let go of his hands and feet to change. Xia Hongsheng said: "When the time comes, there will inevitably be countless words of impeachment to His Majesty. On the contrary, it is better to let the son-in-law hide in the mountain city, avoid their eyes and ears, and let go of his hands and feet. ”

"With the power of these warriors, if they really want to keep an eye on you, where can you avoid it?" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "In Luanzhou, it is actually the same as in Jingyang. Those who stare at you can still stare at you after all. Now that you've torn your face, you just have to let go of your hands and feet. I've got the rest to deal with. ”

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Xia Hongsheng nodded: "If this is the case, then follow what your father-in-law said!" ”

Xia Hongsheng also understands that Li Shimin's insistence on Jingyang is to let the implementation of the new commercial law and tax law be under his nose. In this way, it is better for him to see every detail of the implementation of the new commercial law and tax law, to understand it thoroughly, and then make a decision.

Since Li Shimin has said other things to hand over to him, Xia Hongsheng is naturally more willing to do this in a place where he already has a foundation.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law has another request." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "If the son-in-law wants to invite his father-in-law to be like Jingyang Academy within the time limit of Jingyang County's order, he can send someone to supervise, listen, and watch, and report the situation in Jingyang to his father-in-law at all times, but don't send someone to meddle in affairs." ”

"You want the right to decide a county?" Li Shimin asked.

Xia Hongsheng saluted and replied, "Yes!" If the son-in-law tries out the new law in Jingyang, there will definitely be a lot of changes in it, which may be very different from the current regulations. The son-in-law did not want anyone to interfere. In addition, if the son-in-law arrives in Jingyang and wants to change the subordinate officials, arrange as much as possible those who do not have a scholar background, or those who have less power, it is best to be from a poor family. In this way, it can ensure that the new order will not be distorted and deteriorated during the implementation process to the greatest extent. ”

Li Shimin lowered his head and pondered, and Xia Hongsheng stopped talking, waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision.

In fact, Xia Hongsheng thinks that Li Shimin will agree. Because what Xia Hongsheng said is indeed reasonable. Moreover, Jingyang is the land of Gyeonggi, not far from Chang'an, and the road is good, if the cavalry runs wildly, it will take more than half an hour to reach Jingyang. And Jingyang did not garrison troops, so it was really him Xia Hongsheng who wanted to do something bad, and the army could also come in an instant to pacify him.

Therefore, Li Shimin actually doesn't have to worry too much about Xia Hongsheng making any unexpected moves.

I saw Li Shimin bow his head and ponder, his finger knuckles gently tapped the armrest of the chair, and then suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay!" I agreed to my son-in-law's request. I and the court only watched from the sidelines, and looked at the methods of the virtuous son-in-law. ”

Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed when he saw that Li Shimin really agreed, got up and saluted again, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your trust!" The son-in-law promised his father-in-law that within three years at most, he would let his father-in-law see the effect! ”

The two planned carefully, decided on the basic route and plan of Jingyang, and discussed until late at night, when Xia Hongsheng left the palace under the escort of the palace guards. I went to Chang'an's mansion to make arrangements, and returned to Jingyang overnight.

In a few days, the decree came.

The person who delivered the decree surprised Xia Hongsheng.

is not an outsider, but it is the deputy president of the Tang Royal Military Academy, supervising the imperial history Ma Zhou.

"Meet Master Yuanzheng Zhou!" Ma Zhou saluted with Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng returned the salute, and Ma Zhou said to Xia Hongsheng again: "The previous court matter, Zhou originally thought that it was really Brother Xia's impulsive move. Your Majesty has already made a fortune. However, this time, His Majesty ordered Zhou to pass on the decree, but he was afraid that there might be a hidden secret. If Brother Xia is in need, Zhou Dang will try his best to help! ”

When Xia Hongsheng saw that it was him who came, he had a guess in his heart. immediately said to Ma Zhou: "Brother Bin Wang will pass the decree first!" After the decree was preached, it was known. It's just estimated that Xu is going to wronged Brother Bin for a while. ”

Ma Zhou was puzzled, nodded and took a step back, and then shook off the holy decree.

Xia Hongsheng bent down and bowed to receive the order.

"The Tang Emperor summoned and said: Xia Hong was promoted to the official of the imperial court, but he acted as a businessman, and he spoke wildly in the court and insulted the courtiers. This is a big crime, but he remembered that he had a meritorious service in destroying the Japanese and sought to win Linyi, so he was punished lightly. The imperial decree Xia Hongsheng was dismissed from the post of counselor and the right feather Lin Wei Zhonglang general, and the Jingyang County order was demoted, and he immediately went to his post, and there must be no mistake. Ma Zhou unfolded the holy decree and recited it in public.

"Minister Xia Hongsheng, thank you!" Xia Hongsheng saluted, then straightened up, took the holy decree from Ma Zhou's hand, and then ignored the shock of the surrounding family, and said to Ma Zhou: "There is a history of Lao Ma." Please tell us about it in the house! ”

Xia Hongsheng brought Ma Zhou into the study, closed the door, and told Ma Zhou everything about this time.

"I see!" Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this: "This ...... But I don't know what to do with the new commercial law and the new tax law? ”

"I am compiling, and within half a year, there must be a preliminary draft to dedicate to Your Majesty." Xia Hongsheng replied: "Your Majesty has ordered Brother Bin to come to deliver the decree this time, but I am afraid that there is a plan to ask Brother Bin to come to Jingyang to assist me." I just said it, I'm afraid that I will have to wronged Brother Bin for a while. ”

"Where can I talk about grievances!" Ma Zhou was a little excited, and said: "Zhou Ben was born in a poor family, and he knows the misfortune of the poor family, if the new tax law can benefit the people of the poor family, Zhou will throw away the Beijing officials and come to be a county official and the main bookkeeper, why not?!"
