Chapter 211: Money Collecting Competition
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Li Li and Li Bo sat carefully on the stool and looked at Xu Ping with blank eyes. This is a major moment in their lives, and they may go to the sky in one step, or they may go to the ground in one step, and they must not be sloppy at all.
Xu Ping watched Li Foma and his entourage being escorted out of the hall by his own soldiers, and said to the two: "I will leave the two of you alone, you should think of what is the matter." ”
The two glanced at each other, and Li Li said cautiously: "Our brother is ignorant, please keep it clear." ”
Xu Ping said: "Li Foma is the king of Nanping, without courtiers, and has repeatedly invaded the Great Song Dynasty, causing peace in the frontier. When I enter the Thang Long Mansion, I need to take him back to ask him about the crime, and how to deal with it, so naturally I will be shown by the imperial court. During this time, Cochin can't be left unmanaged, what do you two think? ”
Li Li and Li Bo hurriedly scrambled and said, "I am willing to serve the imperial court!" ”
"Okay, if only you had this heart!" Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "The situation in Jiaozhi is not very optimistic now, the south has not retreated, and Dali in the north is eyeing the tiger, and the wind and rain are shaking!" ”
"We must do our best, Zhancheng and Dali are just clowns jumping off the beam, and they can't become the climate!"
In fact, Dali is easy to do, as long as Da Song shows his attitude, they will naturally back down, even if there is a small action underneath, it is impossible to press Jiaozhi on the surface. Back then, Li Gongyun defeated Dali and calmed down the situation by borrowing the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty silently pretended to be confused and let him take advantage.
It will not work in Cham. It does not border the Great Song Dynasty. Talking is not very useful. And the city is belligerent. How many years have I been fighting here with Jiaozhi, and now that I have the opportunity, no one can persuade me.
Xu Ping didn't say anything about this, but just said to the two: "In today's situation, there are no strong people, one inside and one outside, and working together inside and outside can stabilize it." The two of you discuss it. Which one stays in Thang Long Mansion to preside over the overall situation, and which one goes out to calm down the place, talk to me. ”
When Li Li and Li Bo heard this, they looked at each other, but no one spoke, and the scene fell silent.
are not fools, they naturally understand that whoever stays in Thang Long Mansion will take the initiative, and after the bureau is stable, it is likely to be the next King of Jiaozhi, how can it be allowed at this time?
Xu Ping looked at it coldly. Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you can't settle down now." I'm going to be here for two more days and take care of some chores. In two days, it will be settled. When the season comes, there is still a lot of work to be done in Yongzhou and Cane Sugar, and I can't stay in Thang Long all the time. ”
Li Li and Li Bo saw that Xu Ping had the intention of driving people away, so they hurriedly got up and said goodbye, constantly calculating in their hearts how they could get the opportunity to stay in Shenglong Mansion and squeeze out the other one.
Seeing that the two of them turned around to leave, Xu Ping said again: "By the way, there is something to tell you." Tens of thousands of troops from Yongzhou came forward to help Jiaozhi quell the chaos, which inevitably missed the agricultural time. As you know, Yongzhou is barren and poor, and this mistake will lead to no livelihood this year, and many people will go hungry. They originally came to Jiaozhi to help deal with political affairs, but when they ended up like this, they were inevitably angry in their hearts, and they might do something. In order to calm people's hearts, I had to borrow some money and food from Jiaozhi, and in the past two days, you have to think of a way. ”
Li Li turned around and said with a smile: "What Taishou said is that I know that some of the treasury treasury in the palace and the Thang Long Mansion have countless treasures and silver coins, so naturally they will be taken away by Taishou." ”
Xu Ping turned his face: "What are you talking about?" Of course, the things in the treasury must be brought back and dedicated to the Son of Heaven, how dare Yongzhou intercept them! ”
Li Li was stunned: "What does Taishou mean-"
"The things in the treasury have been checked by my Great Song Dynasty soldiers, registered and registered, and they will be released into Beijing with Li Foma, so they can't be counted. I'm asking you to think of a way to see if you can get the princes and wealthy families in the inner city to donate some silver money to make up for the deficit in Yongzhou and Cane Sugar this season. ”
Hearing this, Li Li and Li Bo looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Ping said again: "The people who do things for the court wholeheartedly are the people that the Great Song Dynasty needs." If any of you have done your best in the past two days, I will keep it in my heart and will not be treated badly! ”
The two of them saw Xu Ping staring at them, their eyes were blazing, and they finally understood in their hearts.
This is to scrape money in Shenglong Mansion, but Xu Ping himself did not come forward, but let the two of them come forward to be this villain, no matter how you think about it, it is a little aggrieved.
Li Bo asked cautiously: "I don't know, how much money does Taishou want the two of us to collect?" ”
"Of course, the more the merrier!" Xu Ping looked at the two of them a little impatiently, "Since last winter, Li Foma has been disobedient, disrupted the border, and missed the sugar squeezing season for a year. Do you know how much the white sugar produced in Yongzhou Sugar is worth a year? ”
Li Bo shook his head: "I don't know, I've only heard a lot." ”
"I'm telling you, I can't afford to lose if I sell the entire Thang Long Mansion! Now let you collect some money, just to make up for the deficit a little, Yongzhou still has to live a hard life for a few years! You don't know how much of a sin Liferma has committed, well, of course, now you have to make up for his mistakes! ”
Li Li sounded a little stupid, listening to this meaning, is it like he is going to dry up the Shenglong Mansion? I couldn't help asking: "In that case, please ask Taishou to send us some manpower so that we can do this." ”
"What manpower! You are also the princes of Jiaozhi, is there no one in the house? Don't you have any soldiers to guard you? How big is the inner city, there are enough of these people! If someone resists the order, it will be with Li Foma's rebellion, although the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty in the city will take them! ”
Xu Ping stood up, saw that the two of them were still standing there stunned, and said: "By the way, the two of them must always have a way to do things, just take the north and south main gates of this forbidden city as the boundary, the east belongs to Li Li, and the west belongs to Li Bo." Two days later, come to me to report the numbers, and I will naturally benefit the person who does things hard! ”
Li Li and Li Bo glanced at each other, and now they finally understood what Xu Ping meant. Half of the people in the inner city, whoever scrapes out more money, presumably whoever stays in Thang Long Mansion, the other will be kicked out of the city.
The western half of the city is connected to the sea along the river, and there are many shops, while the eastern half of the city is where there are many princes and officials, and Xu Ping's distribution is still very reasonable and fair. However, many of the current officials in Dongcheng have been arrested, and even their family property has been confiscated, and the shops in Xicheng have also been asked by Song Jun for a round of military donations, and the two have similar starts.
Li Bo asked: "According to Taishou's meaning, only let us collect money in the inner city, but what about the outer city?" ”
"There is a local yamen of Thang Long Mansion in the outer city, you have limited manpower, so you won't be troublesome!"
The central officials of Shenglong Mansion and Li Foma's cronies were basically swept away by Xu Ping, and they were to be escorted back to the Great Song Dynasty to Jingli together. Xu Ping gave these two empty kings, and the officials who stayed to assist were people from the local yamen of the original Thang Long Mansion, and they were directly promoted from the place to the court.
What a big mess this will cause, where will Xu Ping care about him. What he needed was to give the Yamen of Thang Long Mansion the sweetness and let them do their best to scrape as much oil and water as possible from the outer city.
As for the usual status of Shenglong Mansion over other places, it is inevitable that they will be domineering, and once they enter the court, other state capitals will inevitably look at them unpleasantly, so it is not something that Xu Ping has to consider.
