Chapter 408: Preparation for Salt Reform
The sentence "wrong" made Miao Guifei look stunned for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Wrong? How did you go wrong? ”
Tang Yi looked at Concubine Miao expressionlessly, "Doesn't Niangniang know what that person's intentions are?" ”
Zhao Yunrang's ultimate goal is to let his son ascend to that position, how can he promote the son of Concubine Miao with peace of mind?
"But ......"
Concubine Miao argued: "But, no matter what, if it comes to pass, it is also my child, what does it have to do with his family?" ”
Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, "Let's just talk about the most optimistic situation, even if the mother succeeds in the competition for the throne, the little prince occupies the storage position, the queen mother also loses power, and the mother can be the mother of the world, can't she be more optimistic than this, right?" ”
Concubine Miao was weak, "This palace, this palace didn't think about competing with the queen." ”
Tang Yi said: "Yes, don't you have to think about it?" Queen Cao gave up the throne to Niangniang, there are no hidden dangers in the harem, it can't be better than this, right? ”
"I can't."
"That grass man said something disrespectful, in case His Majesty dies one day, the little prince will ascend to the big treasure, and the mother will listen to the government and hold the authority of the Great Song Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Tang Yi's voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
"Niangniang didn't think that even in this best situation, who else could Niangniang rely on in the court?"
Concubine Miao was excited, and looked at Tang Yi with apricot eyes.
Tang Yi couldn't understand what he said anymore.
"On whom?"
She Miao is unleashed in the court. Except for a king of Runan, who else can she rely on?
When the time comes, with Zhao Yun's means of immersing himself in the court for decades, as well as the arrangement in the court for decades, they will be elevated in a minute, or even in captivity.
At that time, let alone control the government, with Zhao Yunrang's means, it was not impossible to stand up for easy storage, then her child would only have a dead end.
....,,
Tang Yi looked at Concubine Miao silently and let her digest it slowly.
Zhao Zhen asked him to come not only to spread the word, but to convey goodwill at the same time, he had to let Concubine Miao know that it was powerful.
In other words, Zhao Zhen can be merciful, but only this once, and there must not be a next time.
――――――――
By the time Miao Guifei came back to her senses, Tang Yi had already left.
After all, it is a concubine, and it may be the future mother-in-law, more or less Tang Yi has to save her a little face, and she can't let her completely admit it like she did to Zhang Guifei at the beginning.
Out of the imperial city, Tang Yi was not in a hurry to return to Guanlan, but asked Heizi to pass a message to Yang, Cao, Pan, and Wang, saying that they would gather in Huishan tomorrow, and then take a boat out of the city.
When I returned to Guanlan's own small building, it was already evening.
When Jun Xinzhuo and Brother Xiao Qiao saw him coming back, they hurriedly instructed the cook to prepare more meals.
Jun Xinzhuo said: "I thought you wouldn't come back for dinner, I didn't prepare your share." ”
Tang Yi smiled apologetically, "It'll be fine in the future, and I'll have dinner with you every day in the future." ”
Brother Xiao Qiao muttered: "Liar." ”
Tang Yi always said this, but it never came true.
"What are you lying to?" Tang Yi exclaimed like that. "If you really don't leave, I'll stay in Guanlan for this time!"
"And."
"And, maybe in a few days, I'll take you out for a walk?"
Brother Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up, "Really? Where to? ”
Tang Yi smiled mysteriously, "When the time comes, you will know, and you can still see old friends!" ”
......
When he got up early the next day, Tang Yi was about to have breakfast, and Heizi came in and said that Cao Tong, Pan Feng, Wang Xianrong and Yang Huaiyu had arrived.
Tang Yi's face shriveled, and he said apologetically to Jun Xinzhuo and Brother Xiao Qiao: "I can't accompany you, I have to do business first." ”
Brother Xiao Qiao glanced at him, "Liar! ”
――――――――
Meet Cao, Pan, Wang, and Yang in Cao Tong's courtyard.
Recently, the wind has been tight, the yard has been empty for a long time, and Cao Tong has not been back to the mountain for several months.
Everyone sat down, and before they had breakfast, they asked the servants to go to the dining house to bring some food, and they talked while eating.
Pan Feng stuffed half of the cooking cake into his mouth and took the lead in speaking: "Say, what's the big deal?" ”
Wang Xianrong said: "Isn't it that as soon as that old thing dies, we will be able to bring Guanlan back?" ”
Their Wang family originally used money to join in the fun, so they didn't think about taking care of things. Now that Guanlan has a point, he has given them a big stall, Wang Xianrong has long been in a hurry, and he can't wait to throw the stall back immediately.
Tang Yi said: "It's still early, I think it's good now, that is, it doesn't attract people's attention, and it doesn't affect the operation, let's do it first." ”
Wang Xianrong's eyes stood up, "Hello, I'm not good!" Lao Tzu hasn't taken care of the accounts for eight lifetimes, so you might as well kill me! ”
Tang Yi smiled and comforted: "In a few days, Thursday Hai will come back from Daliao, and when the time comes, with his support, there will be no need for Second Brother Wang to worry about it anymore." ”
Wang Xianrong nodded, "It's pretty much the same." ”
......
Cao Tong asked, "Why did Da Lang call everyone here?" ”
Tang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a big deal." ”
"It's that Your Majesty wants to implement the salt reform in the northwest, let me talk to you and cooperate."
"Salt reform?" Pan Feng looked at everyone in a daze. "What salt change?"
As soon as Tang Yi explained, Pan Feng's mouth suddenly opened wide, and the half-chewed cookcakes in his mouth fell out.
"Isn't that a big deal?"
......
The imperial court implemented the salt reform, why did Tang Yi need to do the work of these people?
As I said before, the salt matter in the northwest is not as simple as a few salt dealers taking a little smuggled salt.
It can be said that the prosperity of private salt has penetrated into all joints of the military and political affairs in the northwest.
It's okay to talk a little bit about government affairs, to put it bluntly, the most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is officials, and if the northwest officials who are now in office are disobedient, they will be replaced. As long as there are vacancies, there are a lot of people waiting in line to take office.
On the military side, it's not that simple. If you don't say hello to the door, you want to salt it?
It's just a dream.
As I said before, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty was unification and separation.
The Privy Council has the final say on the command of the troops, and the control of the troops is the business of the three officials of the military department.
Don't look at the door, and you can't get out of a high position, but the three yamen of the military department have always been their world.
Both the scholar and the emperor knew that they could not force the warriors into a corner, so the military department, as well as some dirty things in the army, such as empty salaries and extra money, everyone turned a blind eye.
The Western Army is able to fight, is fully equipped, and does not eat empty salaries, and the smuggling of green salt has become the main source of foreign money for the Western Army, and it is also a necessary means to gather forces.
"Da Lang!" Pan Feng grimaced. "This is no small matter!"
Tang Yi nodded, "I know, that's why I called you here to discuss." ”
Yang Huaiyu said: "Discuss? Da Lang still wants to be simple. ”
Wang Xianrong also said: "It's difficult! ”
Tang Yi rolled his eyes, "It's easy to do it, I'll do it myself, I'm looking for you to do it!?" ”
