The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1866 Chang'an courtier
"Your Majesty, although it is just a ledger, it is enough to reflect the many problems in the bank. Your Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate the bank in all parts of the country. This is bound to cause quite a wave. I think that the investigation must be done. , After all, it involves money from the national treasury, but it can't be rushed, and it can't be rushed, and the court must be fully prepared while conducting a thorough investigation." Chu Suiliang said.

"Chu Aiqing can go into more detail." Li Chengqian looked at Chu Suiliang and said.

"At the beginning, the matter of the Qianzhuang was established by the Ministry of Households, and then it was extended to the entire Tang Dynasty. Now that something like this happened in the Qianzhuang, it is enough for people to see clearly the shortcomings in the Qianzhuang. I think that this matter should be handled by the household It is not too late for the Ministry to take the lead and come up with a plan to get rid of the shortcomings of the bank and make up for it." Chu Suiliang said.

"Hubu, what do you think?" Li Chengqian looked at the three people in Hubu.

"My minister attached to Master Chu Suiliang's proposal." The Minister of the Household Department clasped his hands and said.

This matter was originally their scope of responsibility, and they were the ones who took the lead in promoting the bank. Now that there is a problem, it is natural for them to remedy it. When the plan was first proposed, the people who were most familiar with the operation of the bank were the people from the household department.

"In this way, I will leave it to your household department to make up for the shortcomings of the bank. Come up with a plan as soon as possible and send it to the palace." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes." Hubu Shangshu cupped his hands and said.

"As for the people involved in this bank, what do you all think should be done?" Li Chengqian glanced over everyone.

In fact, Li Chengqian knew in his heart that Xuan Shijing was outside. Since the matter was found out and the ledger was sent to Chang'an, the principal culprit would definitely not survive. Want to seek profit with the country, I feel very uncomfortable, why can the main culprit invade the bank?Isn't my family backing me?Most of the money they got was handed over to the warehouse of the family, otherwise what would be the account books at the end of the year?
What Li Chengqian really wanted to deal with was the influence of the people with five surnames and seven clans involved in the bank.

Who will believe that they have nothing to do with this matter and are not contaminated?
Without their power in the court, how could Qianzhuang commit crimes?
Five surnames and seven sects, each family is like a big tree, and the main culprits are some branches or leaves. If the leaves are removed and a small branch is cut off, it will have no effect on the whole tree. At some point, it will grow back again.

What Li Chengqian wanted was not to let them continue to grow.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do?" Li Chengqian looked at Yu Zhining.

When Li Chengqian was still the crown prince, Yu Zhining was in the East Palace. Li Chengqian knew Yu Zhining's temperament, and Li Chengqian was upright. When encountering something like this, Yu Zhining's views were also the most radical. For Zhining's radicalism, he needs Yu Zhining to open up the topic and uncover this topic, and then he will follow the trend to rectify the power of these aristocratic families in Chang'an. Home.

However, Li Chengqian obviously overestimated Yu Zhining. When he was in the East Palace, Yu Zhining would not buy Li Chengqian's battle. Now that Li Chengqian has become the emperor, he asked his opinion, and Yu Zhining obviously did not understand what Li Chengqian meant. , or in other words, he understood, but he didn't want Li Chengqian to do that, so he just muddled through it.

"Your Majesty's new policy, if the means are too radical, it will inevitably cause turmoil among the officials in the court." Yu Zhining said: "I think it is good for the Ministry of Households to abolish the disadvantages of the bank. As for the others."

"Teacher thinks that those who reach out to the bank should be allowed to continue at large?" Li Chengqian asked, with a little displeasure on his face.

What about Yu Zhining's uprightness in the past?Why are you so cowardly now?This is not like him.

"This..." Yu Zhining stammered, a little speechless. In fact, his intentions were also good. Li Chengqianji just succeeded to the throne this year and became emperor this year. The day is less than half a month away, and it is not worthwhile to make a big commotion in Chang'an City at this time, it will definitely make people feel that the new emperor is bloodthirsty, which is not good for the new emperor's reputation.

But Li Chengqian didn't think about his own reputation. The people he wanted to deal with were all the people who should be dealt with, and they were all people related to the bank deficit case. What's the harm in this reputation?Since he dared to break the law, he should be dealt with. This is a public matter, and there is no personal grievances of the royal family involved. What's more, Li Chengqian has no personal grievances with them.

"Li Jingzong." Li Chengqian looked at Li Jingzong: "What does Li Aiqing think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of the bank should be dealt with with a heavy code. If it is only handled lightly and hastily, it will not make the people who come later have awe. The problems facing the bank today will be made by people who follow up." " Li Jingzong said: "The money bank is related to the people of the world, and it is linked to the imperial treasury. It is just a matter of the past few years that our Datang has become rich. The mistakes of the past and the lessons of the future, the Tang Dynasty must not forget the poverty in the past. In daily life, if the problems of the bank are not resolved and the bank is in short supply, then the treasury must be subsidized, the treasury will be short-lived, and the treasury will be short-lived. Is it true that the Tang Dynasty has been moving forward for so many years, and it is going to go back to life?"

What Xu Jingzong said was clear and logical, and he also put his words on Li Chengqian's heart.

Li Chengqian's father, His Majesty Li Er, was an excellent emperor, and it was not easy for a son to surpass his father's feat. Before Li Chengqian took the throne, he won battles on the east and west of the Tang Dynasty Even destroying Silla, this credit should be credited to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian himself does not want his road to power to go downhill, nor does he want Datang to go downhill when he is in his hands. What is Datang's strength?The money of the treasury, the might of the soldiers, and the ability of the courtiers.

Now that Xu Jingzong's words pointed out the relationship between the pain point of the bank and the court, could Li Chengqian not think carefully about what he said?

In fact, everyone present knows the truth of this, but some people are willing to agree with Li Chengqian, and some people are unwilling to offend the five surnames and seven sects. After all, the five surnames and seven sects are still the mainstay of the court.

"Have you all heard what Xu Aiqing said?" Li Chengqian said, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it. I'm listening."
