Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 532 The title of Zhenguan white sugar is on sale

After a long time, Changsun Wuji said with shame on his face: "I'm sorry for you, and I've been sorry for you all my life as a brother. In the past, in order to survive, I hoped that you would marry Erlang. Now, I..."

"Don't talk about it." Changsun didn't want to recall the past, and said, "Whether it's Erlang or the emperor, I never blamed my brother."

The hardships that the two brothers and sisters suffered in childhood made them unforgettable forever.

Changsun continued: "Brother, do you have any plans for the future?"

"I don't know. When Fang returns to Chang'an, things are different and people are different. I plan to take a look first."

"Alright." Changsun said, "Look more, and avoid going the wrong way."

At this moment, the servant girl came in.

"Princess, His Majesty has sent someone to send a reward."

Hearing this, the brother and sister looked at each other speechlessly.

political affairs hall.

Recently, Li Zhiyun did not reduce government affairs because of the demise of the Turks.On the contrary, because of killing the Turks, the surrounding small countries got the news and came to worship the pier one after another, which kept him busy for a while.

In his free time, he met with many ministers to discuss matters for next year.In addition, officials from all over the country were also sent to Chang'an for assessment.

All in all, as an emperor, he doesn't actually have much personal space.

"It's been a while since I went to see the Guanyin servant girl." He subconsciously opened the memorial with one hand and murmured.

Not far away, Fang Xuanling was seriously dealing with government affairs.

The emperor treated him kindly, and gradually, he also seriously helped the emperor.

Gao Liangzhong walked in quietly, came to the emperor's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything has been delivered."

"Oh." Li Zhiyun nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of moisture on Gao Liangzhong's body.

"Is it raining?" he asked.

Gao Liangzhong said: "Luoxuehua."

snowflake?

Li Zhiyun's complexion became unsightly. Next year, the year after, and the year after that, it will be difficult.

"Call the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to discuss the matter."

"Yes."

Although fighting the Turks almost emptied the warehouse, he had to be prepared for the next year's disaster.

The days passed quickly, and it was December in a blink of an eye.

During this time, something happened.Minister of the Ministry of Rites Yan Guogong Yu Shiqian died of illness, Li Zhiyun thought again and again, and transferred Zhao Cijing as the Minister of Rites, and Li Jing took over as Minister of the Ministry of War.

At the same time, Yu Zhining was also recommended to the court by Yu Shiqian before his death.Li Zhiyun appointed him as the Minister of Zhongshu, which can be regarded as a comfort to Yu Shi.

The Great Dynasty of Tai Chi Hall, the last great dynasty in the ninth year of Wude.

First of all, the monarchs and ministers reviewed the gains and losses of the nine years of Wude, secondly summed up the experience, thirdly made up for it, and finally, looked forward to the next year.

Zhao Cijing, the Minister of Rites who had just taken office, came out, holding a wat board in his hand, and reported: "Your Majesty, the defeat of the Turks is a major event. From then on, our dynasty will no longer rely on others. Your Majesty, please change the year name to show the atmosphere of the new dynasty. "

"My minister seconded the proposal." Wei Zheng said: "Wu De is the year name of the late emperor, the war is over, please Your Majesty to move forward to the new year."

Subsequently, all the ministers asked the emperor to change the year name.

Li Zhiyun didn't pay much attention to the year number.But just as the ministers said, the title of Wude, which represents the unification of the world, belonged to the late emperor after all.Now that the Turks are gone, it's time to change the new year name and look forward to the future.

"What do you Aiqing think, what should be the year name?"

Li Daoxuan said: "I think Zhaowu should be the year name."

"Inappropriate." Wen Yanbo objected: "The war is over, and we should rest with the people. How can we start another war."

Then there was the noise.

The generals thought that Zhaowu was the best, but the civil servants who didn't like war strongly opposed it.The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled endlessly.

Also, some people think differently.

In short, the Tai Chi Hall became lively again.

Whenever this time, Li Zhiyun wanted to eat melon seeds while listening to their quarrel.

They kept arguing until they were about to make a move before Li Zhiyun interrupted.

"Wei Zheng, you have been silent all this time, let me tell you what you think."

"Yes." Wei Zheng said, "I think the reign name should be Zhenguan."

Chastity?

The ministers secretly figured out the meaning of this year name.

Li Zhiyun was also slightly taken aback, he thought that after he ascended the throne, the title of Zhenguan should not appear again.

Li Zhiyun said: "Tell me what you think."

Wei Zheng leaned forward and replied: "The way of heaven and earth is the way of chastity."

These two sentences come from the "Book of Changes", which means that these two characters represent the way of heaven and earth.

that's amazing.

Li Zhiyun's eyes lit up, he really hadn't thought carefully about the implication of the year name 'Zhenguan'.

Now that I heard the explanation, I suddenly felt majestic.

Although Zhao Wu is very domineering, he is not tolerant enough.

Zhenguan is pretty good.

Those who follow the rules of my Tang Dynasty are the way of heaven and earth, and those who do not follow my rules of the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have the responsibility and obligation to correct mistakes.

What is the way of heaven and earth, Lao Tzu is the way of heaven and earth!

"Just for Zhenguan."

"Yes."

In this way, the year name is set, Zhenguan.

Within a few days, a white sugar shop suddenly appeared in Chang'an, and the people were surprised to find that this thing is so sweet!

The kind that is so sweet!
It seems that the ministers of the third rank and above were not surprised when they heard about this, because they had all been rewarded with sugar by the emperor.

But there is no doubt that white sugar is selling like crazy!
There is no other reason, but sweetness, and everyone likes this rare pure sweetness.

In the past, ministers were reluctant to eat the white sugar rewarded by the emperor, but now they know that there is white sugar for sale, and they order their servants to buy it like crazy.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and sugar is a powerful weapon for pretending.

Of course, a small number of people also know that this thing is actually controlled by the emperor behind the scenes, but they don't dare to talk too much.

Li Zhiyun is not looking for an endorser now, mainly because he wants to monopolize the dividends, make money to buy food, and deal with the natural disasters that will occur next year.

This time, white sugar is divided into "rock sugar" in the high price area, "white sugar" in the low price area, and powdered sugar.

Although the common people like it very much, they can only buy some cheap powdered sugar and take it home due to their financial constraints.

White sugar and rock sugar are mainly sold to dignitaries.

For no other reason than they have money.

How much money can you earn if you don't earn money from the rich, but earn money from the common people?
Of course, people's money is money, and mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

As for the cost of sugar?

Sorry for the low cost.

The main reason is that Feng An is very sensible and gave him sugar cane for free.Raw materials do not require money, and Li Zhiyun only needs to pay the wages of the workers.

As a result, white sugar is making millions every day, and it is sold out every day.

For example, Pei Ju and other old men from aristocratic families like soft and sweet food when they get older.

Drinking medicine, that also likes to put sugar.

The children are crying, give a piece of sugar, and it will be done immediately.

Sugar's audience spans all age groups.

It can be said that everyone needs to eat salt, and everyone likes to eat sugar.

The former is a must, the latter is not a must, but it is a must for taste buds.How can rich people wrong themselves?
In addition, there are briquettes.

Because there are more mining slaves, the supply of briquettes can also keep up, which is another deal.

Now Li Zhiyun holds soap, sugar, and briquettes in his hands, making a lot of money.

Many close ministers, seeing the huge profits from white sugar, wanted to get a license from the emperor, but Li Zhiyun didn't give any.

Sugar and soap are different after all, he has to firmly control this kind of money-making thing.

After getting the money, Li Zhiyun took money from the private treasury to support the Ministry of Civil Affairs to store grain.All of a sudden, the ruling and opposition parties praised the emperor for his selflessness.

Wen Yanbo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was even more moved. How could the emperor support his work so much, how could he not be moved.
