Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 552

Duan Lun has been running Bashu for many years, and he knows how much potential Bashu has to tap.

Duan Lun reported dozens of items in one breath, and promised to transport them to Yangzhou Wharf on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Saint, please give this opportunity to Jiannan Road. The Yuzhou Wharf of Jiannan Road can go down the Yangtze River and downstream, and the goods can be transported to Yangzhou in just a few days. The poverty of Jiannan Road, please be kind Sure." Duan Lun said excitedly, took a few steps forward and then knelt down.

Li Shimin got up and prepared to help Duan Lun up himself. Although Duan Lun had no intention of becoming an official again, he was seeking a livelihood for the people of Bashu.

We must know that this massive purchase means that the common people have the opportunity to work and earn more coins.

Duan Lun intends to develop Bashu and tap the potential of Bashu, but he has no chance. Now that he has this opportunity, Duan Lun will not let it go. Even if he resigns, he will lay a good foundation for Yang Shidao, who is still in charge of official affairs in Bashu.

When Li Shimin came to Duan Lun's side, he heard a shout from outside the hall: "Saint, my minister Li Daoyan kneels and begs."

Li Shimin was stunned.

Manchao Wenwu was also stunned, and Duan Lun was startled by the sudden shout.

But when Li Shimin raised his head, what he saw was not Li Daoyan, but Li Xiaogong.Then there were seven or eight governors of Shangzhou and governors of the governor's office who rushed to the main hall.

When Li Xiaogong stepped on the threshold of Tai Chi Hall with one foot, he saw Li Daoyan throw Li Xiaogong down with a tiger pounce, and then he was about to charge forward, but Xiaogong grabbed his belt.After that, the two governors of Shangzhou wanted to take the opportunity to enter the hall, but they were dragged down by the two of them, and the front of the Tai Chi Hall became chaotic.

"Nonsense, nonsense." Li Shimin was angry, this is the Tai Chi Hall, this is the highest meeting hall in the Tang Dynasty, it is unseemly for you to do so.

The people who rushed in even forgot to plead guilty. The governor of Hongzhou shouted: "Saint, I, Hongzhou, together with several surrounding state capitals, have taken the order of 300 million porcelain bottles. I can guarantee the supply of another thousand dan silk, besides……"

"I keep 200 million porcelain vases in Beihai County...

"I……

These courtiers who were originally officials in various places came to Chang'an this time to participate in the new emperor's sacrifice to heaven, and then they rushed into the palace immediately after getting some news.

"Come here, prepare for the rod punishment." After Li Shimin shouted angrily, the Tai Chi Hall fell silent instantly.

Li Shimin glanced around: "Where is Liu Mu?"

At this time, a little eunuch stepped forward: "Saint, Concubine Liu complained of illness, claiming that he had eaten a stomachache in the morning, and he would go to the Medical Sacred Hall to seek medical treatment. This is Concubine Liu's confession."

Li Shifa took the piece of paper and smashed it to pieces on the spot, then threw it out in the air: "Retire."

Yao Silian's face was dark, the meaning of him and several important ministers is very simple, Liu Mu, you become an official, and then serve as the envoy of China and Hong Kong Shipping, even if you are given the title of Minister of the Ministry of Households, and another honor from Erpinzhu Kingdom, Then give it to another country.

Letting a woman from your second sister serve as the envoy of China and Hong Kong ships, this is something these old guys in the court cannot bear.

result……

Obviously, Yao Silian and the others were completely defeated in this round.

Xiao Yu hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, and it was only when Li Shimin got angry that he stood up: "Actually, this matter can be discussed. It's not about going around in circles. Whether Liu Concubine can get in by going around in circles."

"Why?" Li Shimin was purely curious about Xiao Yu's words.

As for retiring from the court, none of the courtiers in the palace left at all.

"There's a saying that goes like this, facing a group of thousand-year-old foxes, if you know you're not smart enough, you'll go all the way to the dark, insisting that Qingshan will not let go."

"What does this mean?" Li Shimin became even more curious.

Xiao Yu looked around and said with a smile: "This is a poem. The original poem is to hold on to the green hills and not let go, and the roots are originally in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind blow from east to west."

"The poem is good." Several famous officials came out to praise.

"Another way of thinking is to stick to the green hills and not let go, and go all the way to the dark. The thousand-year-old fox is cunning, and you can play thousands of tricks."

After Fang Xuanling heard it, he couldn't stop laughing: "I've heard this poem before, and it has allusions. The original poem was also written by Liu Concubine, and the revised one was said by Liu Concubine before meeting Mr. Zheng of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Tell Ma Changshi to listen."

Ma Zhou also stood up: "There is such a thing, it was at the pier of the Jing River a few years ago."

"Okay, I'll listen to your discussion, and..." Li Shimin pointed to Li Xiaogong and Li Daoyan: "You are not allowed to speak again, the matter you mentioned will naturally be arranged by the court."

After Ma Zhou and everyone else stood up in turn, they said, "The emperor ordered Princess Yan to be the first envoy of the Donggang ship. The emperor has a unique vision, so he can't be wrong when looking at people. Then it will be changed to the envoy of the China-Hong Kong ship. It is also in line with the Supreme Emperor's wishes. But there is indeed no precedent for a woman to serve as a chief official in the Tang Dynasty, so I think it can be changed."

Xiao Yu echoed these words, after all Li Yuan had just abdicated, nothing could refute Li Yuan's face.

Under Li Shimin's encouragement, Ma Zhou continued: "I can persuade Liu Fuma to be the first China-Hong Kong Shipping Commissioner, and Liu Fuma mentioned that the China-Hong Kong Shipping Department must set up a very important office, and he recommended me to go. But I think this department can be handed over to Princess Yan."

"What yamen?" Yao Silian asked immediately.

"The General Settlement Department of the Shipping Department is in charge of the accounts of all shipping companies and the review of settlement accounts with various state governments. This yamen does not have cash, but it has to make detailed arrangements for all accounts, and then use the bank to transfer to each shipping company. Envoys, states, prefectures, counties, etc. to settle coins."

After a quick discussion among several members of the household department, Cui Junsu, the new secretary of the household department, stepped forward: "Sage, I think this yamen is indeed very important, but one of them needs to be revised. There is no need to settle with the states, prefectures, and counties, but only with the household department. Settlement, this can also be used by the Ministry of Households to deduct the difference in taxes in various places, and there is no need to pay taxes in various places to transport them to Chang'an."

"Let's have a discussion, and the Minister of Shangshu will come up with an opinion. As for the supply of goods from various places, I will be the master. I will give Bashu an order of 100 million porcelain vases, [-] tans of linen, and [-] tans of tea. You can discuss the rest. I think that helping some impoverished state capitals to make people's lives better is a big deal. It needs to be discussed in detail."

Didn't you just say retreat?

The courtiers consciously chose not to hear it, and Li Shimin thought he had forgotten what he just said.

Li Xiaogong was finally able to open his mouth. He didn't ask for a share, he just stepped forward to propose: "I think that Jiangnan Dongdao can set up a yamen in Chang'an, called the Liaison Office of Jiangnan Dongdao in China and Hong Kong. There is also a function of Jiangnan Dongdao. All chambers of commerce and officials who come to Chang’an have a place to live and eat and drink in Chang’an.”
