Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 171 Silent is better than sound

Li Jiancheng remained silent, with no expression on his face.Zheng Guanyin was very anxious. Zheng Guanyin was worried that Chen Ying was not because of the affair between men and women, but because of huge interests.

It is said that Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the seven sects and five wangs of the Kanto, and ordinary money could not impress her at all.But Chen Ying didn't make a move, as long as he made a move, it was impossible to refuse.Taking the output of Lingzhou as an example, 18% of the members only have an annual income of at least 20 guan from iron ore. Adding salt and coal, the annual income will be at least [-] guan.

We must know that the value of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty is extremely high, if the copper coins are not too intuitive.If converted into the price of future generations, it must be frighteningly high.During the Zhenguan period, a bucket of rice was only sold for five Wen coins, usually equivalent to a thousand Wen copper coins, that is to say, you can buy two hundred buckets of rice, and ten buckets are one stone, which is twenty stones. Generally, the price of rice is calculated at two yuan and five catties, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 59, and 20 guan is equivalent to RMB 11 billion.

With a wealth of 11 billion yuan, it is estimated that few people will not be tempted. If they earn so much money every year, I am afraid that even the saint will become a slut in an instant.

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to see the anxiety in Zheng Guanyin's eyes. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Guanyin, you come from a powerful family, so you naturally know the power of a powerful family!"

Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly: "It is precisely because I know that I feel a pity!"

"What a pity?" Li Jiancheng felt a little inexplicable, looked at Zheng Guanyin suspiciously and said, "What a pity!"

Zheng Guanyin reluctantly handed over the three share contracts with body temperature to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng did not open them, but looked at Zheng Guanyin and said, "What are these?"

"Your Highness, if you open it and have a look, you will know?"

Zheng Guanyin was born in a powerful family and knew more about the horrors of the powerful.After Yang Guang's death, Emperor Taizhu Yang Tong posthumously posthumously named Yang Guang as Ming Emperor with the temple name Shizu, Xia Wang Dou Jiande posthumously named Yang Guang as Min Emperor, and Li Yuan posthumously posthumously named Yang Guang as Yang Emperor.According to the Posthumous Posthumous Law, "If you are good at home and far away, you are called Yang Yang, if you are far away from the courtesy, you are called Yang Yang, if you go against the sky and abuse the people, you are called Yang Yang, if you are too big to persecute the government, you are called Yang Yang, if you are unkind and ungrateful, you are called Yang Yang, and if you are far away from Germany, you are called Yang Yang."

In other words, Yang Guang's infamy of "abusing the people against the sky, being heartless and ungrateful, leaving Germany and the country, being too big to govern, and being far away from the public" can no longer be escaped.

In fact, what kind of person is Yang Guang?Both Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng knew very well that Yang Guang was not such a person in fact. First of all, he was a wise and promising monarch who reformed politics, strengthened imperial power, abolished the hereditary system of the nine ranks of Zhongzheng, and opened up courses to recruit scholars.

At the same time, Yang Guang was also a benevolent monarch. He made more criminal laws and abolished torture.There are five grades of criminal law, the first is death penalty, the second is exile, the third is imprisonment, the fourth is rod punishment, and the fifth is flogging.Other criminal laws such as abandonment of the city and castration are all abolished.He also promulgated the system of land equalization, implemented the system of transfer of nationality, and enriched the people and strengthened the army.

However, in fact, the Sui Dynasty died in the hands of Yang Guang II. This is an indisputable issue.No matter how much notoriety and criticism is added to Yang Guang, it is actually because of political needs.Yang Guang's most intuitive problem is that he offended the powerful people in the world, so the powerful people in the world turned against each other in groups. The 36th Road rebelled against the king, and the 72nd Road Dust and Smoke, almost all of them supported secretly, or directly threw their arms aside and went directly. .

The Sui Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers and spanned thousands of miles, collapsed overnight. This is not to say that the power of the clan is too great.

Li Jiancheng quietly opened the three contracts, even though he was too deep in the city, he couldn't bear it anymore, his expression changed instantly: "This... this... this..."

"This is from Chen Langjun!" Zheng Guanyin looked at the three contracts, feeling extremely sour in his heart.She is like a peerless beauty who suddenly obtained a magic elixir that can keep youth forever. She just got it in her hand, and before she had time to take it, she was snatched away.

Li Jiancheng also set off a shocking wave in his heart at this time.

The income of 20 Guan stimulated Li Jiancheng's nerves like a soldering iron.Even though he is the crown prince and the prince of the country, he still feels that he can't stop with 20 Guan.

With this sum of money, [-] to [-] war horses can be bought.

More than 20 head of cattle can be bought.

One million pigs can be bought.

300 million sheep can be bought.

You can also buy 120 million knives or swords, 60 bows, and [-] sets of armor. Calculated by spending [-] yuan a year to feed a soldier, this money can feed more than [-] troops.One hundred thousand troops can be armed from scratch.

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Take it!"

Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly, took the contract, and threw it into the brazier.

Just when Zheng Guanyin was about to let go, he suddenly felt light in his hand.The three contracts in his hand were not easy to fly away. Zheng Guanyin looked up and looked at Li Jiancheng in puzzlement: "Isn't it going to be burned?"

"It's not burning, but it's about to be collected!" Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "Such a god-given opportunity, if you don't take it, the sky will definitely hate it!"

Hearing Li Jiancheng's relaxed tone and what he meant, Zheng Guanyin was not worried about Yuan's counterattack at all, and asked him in surprise. "Your Highness, you have to think clearly."

"Ben Gong has already thought it through very clearly!" Li Jiancheng said: "Father has always been worried that Ben Gong will make him a super-emperor, and he is suppressing Ben Gong at this time, but it is because Father is in love."

In fact, many people can understand Li Yuan's thoughts.Li Yuan's energy is weak and he is getting old day by day, but he is not reconciled to the fact that the power in the court and the central government has been handed over to Su Li Jiancheng long before his death.He rewarded Li Shimin so much that he even did not hesitate to make Li Shimin a minister and make peace with Zhongshu.

In this way, Shangshu Zuopushe Pei and Shangshu Youpushe Liu Wenjing became Li Shimin's subordinates. At this time, Li Shimin's power was so strong that he had become the de facto prime minister, and he was the real prime minister who controlled the three provinces and six ministries.The purpose of Li Yuan's move is nothing more than to use Li Shimin to empty him.

The direct result of this situation is that Li Shimin is still hostile to Li Jiancheng.Li Yuan does not delegate power for a day, but it does not mean that Li Shimin has patience for a day.

Although Li Jiancheng is unlikely to commit a scandal of killing his father and seizing power, Li Jiancheng still doesn't mind as long as Li Shimin's nail is smashed down.

In the past, Li Jiancheng was afraid of fratricide.But now, Chen Ying's three contracts gave Li Jiancheng hope, so he didn't have to worry.

He knew that Li Shimin was also a smart person, as long as he could break the balance between the two, Li Yuan would also be helpless.

Li Jiancheng said: "Erlang relies on nothing more than military power. Chen Ying can be a general, with Xue Wanche and Zuo Wei leading Yang Wengan to manage Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Lingzhou respectively. This is equivalent to mastering the west, northwest and north of Chang'an. The military power of the army, especially the soldiers of Jingzhou, once they need to be dispatched, they can arrive at the city of Chang'an in at most two days to deal with emergencies.

However, the establishment of Jingzhou by the imperial court is too small.There are only five regiments and [-] government soldiers. Li Jiancheng didn't have money at first, but now that he has money, he can expand his troops, and even rebuild a right guard with elite equipment and full staff.

"You are really different from the past, you have become a bold master." Zheng Guanyin said with a slight sigh, but she did not expect Li Jiancheng to see through the subtleties, thinking that someone has finally known about her sufferings over the years, and she It was a little difficult to support the brocade couch with his hands, and when he wanted to sit down, Li Jiancheng suddenly put his arms around Zheng Guanyin's delicate body.

Silence is better than sound here.
