Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 461
Wu Yuan, Wu Qi's nephew, said: "Uncle, now that King Qi and the Crown Prince are fighting for the heir apparent, if we rashly get involved, I'm afraid we'll die without a place to die!"

Fifth Qi woke up suddenly, Jianghuai's seizure of the heirloom had also been rumored, so it was no wonder that the prince needed Jianghuai's wealth.

If this is the case, it cannot be mixed in.

As a minister of finance, Fifth Qi naturally understood that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

It's not that he doesn't dare to participate in the Inheritance Seizure, but he wants to assess the risk of participating in the Inheritance Seizure.

Fifth Qi recovered from the huge temptation and regained his calmness as a financial expert.

Fifth Qi said: "Just tell me what you saw and heard in Fengxiang Mansion, and you can't miss any troubles!"

Fifth Yuan told Fifth Qi everything he had seen and heard in Fengxiang Mansion and the details of his relationship with Wang Chengwei.

"What? You said that King Jianning also established a salt and iron courtyard in Longyou, specializing in salt and iron?"

Fifth Yuan said blankly: "That's right, what my brother Wang said, Longyou is also imitating his uncle to engage in salt and iron franchises, saying that King Jianning praised his uncle's method of using salt to gather wealth, and thought it was some kind of 'Equal loses' tax."

Fifth Yuan asked suspiciously: "Uncle, what is the tax of 'equal loss and fairness'?"

Fifth Qi sighed and said: "Salt is something that everyone must use. The poor and the rich all eat salt. What King Jianning means is that everyone pays the salt tax according to the population. It's not like there are a lot of tax-free land and tax evasion in land. land."

Fifth Yuan said: "In addition to salt, Longyou also specializes in ironware, but only in unformed iron ingots."

Fifth Qi sighed and said, "Uncle, I also want to specialize in iron workshops in Jianghuai, but unfortunately there are many iron workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, and it's not like salt can be limited to a few production areas and cannot be banned. How did Longyou specialize in ironware?"

Fifth Yuan said: "Actually, it's not a franchise. I heard from Brother Wang that a huge iron factory was built in Longyou, which can produce ten thousand catties of high-quality steel in one furnace. The price of iron is low."

"He said that this is called intensive production, which reduces production costs and uses technological advantages to improve competitiveness. The Wangfu dumped low-priced iron ingots to occupy the market and formed a virtual monopoly."

Fifth Yuan shook his head and said, "Uncle, what does he mean by that? Why can't I understand anything?"

Fifth Qi chewed this sentence over and over again, and finally said: "Okay! Wonderful! But in this world, is there really an iron factory that can produce [-] catties every day?"

Fifth Yuan went on to say: "Uncle, I don't know if Brother Wang is bragging. He said that ironware is already a common thing in Longyou. Longyou can even lay rails on the ground and make a magical machine out of iron." Running on the rails, you can travel hundreds of miles a day."

"He said that Longyou still has hot air balloons that can fly into the sky, and can carry people around the world."

"There are also non-stop machines that can spin yarn and weave cloth, and even lift a mighty hammer to forge steel."

"My nephew also felt that what brother Wang said was too bizarre, so I didn't want to tell my uncle, but when my uncle asked about it, my nephew told me."

Fifth Qi pondered for a long time and said: "The last time Longyou offered victory to Fengxiang Mansion, did you find out clearly?"

Victory?Fifth Yuan asked: "Uncle is talking about the [-] miscellaneous animals? This nephew also asked clearly. The Ministry of Household Affairs has indeed put such animals into storage. Among them, the Uyghur war horses were replenished for the army, and the rest of the animals were also distributed. Meritorious officers and soldiers, why does uncle ask this?"

Fifth Qi said: "The king of Jianning can specialize in salt and iron, defeat the Uighurs, and have the benefits of opening trade in the Western Regions. It seems that he is dormant in the Northwest and has the ambition to swallow the world."

Wu Yuan was taken aback and said: "Uncle, don't be joking. It's already messy enough for the crown prince and King Qi to seize the heir. Does King Jianning also want to take the heir?"

Fifth Qi said: "If you don't study the knowledge handed down by our family, do you know that the matter of wealth is the imperial court's trick to prosper and perish, is it the first-class technique?"

The fifth family was proficient in the art of financial management, and the fifth Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty was proficient in the art of wealth and wealth, which was reused by Emperor Guangwu.

Fifth, Yuan didn't pay much attention to the knowledge handed down by his family. He always felt that this was because the ancestors deliberately made alarmist remarks in order to make money for their academics.

In today's Tang court, the apex of the finance minister is just the Minister of the Household Department, and it is not enough to even enter the political affairs hall.

Fifth Qi said: "Money is needed for marching and fighting, salaries for officials and ministers, and money for worshiping the state. Which one do you want to use?"

"If it wasn't for my uncle, I raised military supplies and grass in Jianghuai, what money would the court use to suppress the rebellion?"

"King Jianning launched the reform of the tax system in the Salt and Iron Court in Longyou. This is a big conspiracy!"

Wu Yuan was taken aback and said, "Uncle, do you like King Jianning?"

Fifth Qi said: "If what you said is true, then this world belongs to King Jianning. He has expanded his industry and repaired his military armor. Now that he is fighting with King Qi in the Eastern Palace in the court, King Jianning is sitting on the right side of Longlong. Take advantage of it."

Fifth Qi went on to say: "Even if King Jianning has no ambition to seize the throne, this is still a huge threat to the East Palace. This shows that the position of the East Palace is unstable, and it is really unwise to get involved at this time."

Fifth Yuan said with a bitter face, "But uncle, what shall we do?"

Fifth Qi said: "Drag!"

Fifth Yuan said: "Isn't this vacillation the way to death?"

Fifth Qi said: "You take my order and ask the several salt merchants who are closely related to our family to withdraw and bring back the salt."

Wu Yuan was shocked, this Yanyin was the quota for selling salt, now that Jianghuai Salt and Iron is a monopoly, Yanyin is equivalent to the copper mold for casting money, the golden rooster that lays eggs.

"Do as I say!"

Fifth Yuan could only take the warrant to find the offshoots and in-laws of the family, and take Yanyin back from them.

Fifth Qi's method is to drag the word.

He confessed that Cheng Yuanzhen was delicious and delicious, but every time he talked about things, Fifth Qi would excuse that he had something to do and refused to talk to Cheng Yuanzhen in detail.

Cheng Yuanzhen was also helpless about this, half threatening and half tempting, but Wu Qi just avoided seeing him, but his etiquette was so thoughtful that he couldn't find any problems.

Cheng Yuanzhen was so angry that he could only stomp his feet, and he didn't understand why Wuqi suddenly changed his mind after they had a good conversation.

But soon, Fifth Qi's nephew sent five Jianghuai Yanyin.

Now Cheng Yuanzhen was overjoyed.

The fifth Qi's salt law in Jianghuai is that the government monopolizes the production of salt, but the sales of salt are carried out through the salt merchants in Jianghuai.

And how much salt the salt merchants buy in a year has to be exchanged with the salt in their hands.

The salt merchants get the salt and then sell it in the market, and they can earn the difference.

Although there is still the cost of transportation, now the salt merchants can make money after the franchise, and the price of a piece of salt quotation has also been fired to tens of thousands.

Fifth Qi took out salt to attract, although he did not withhold [-]% of Jianghuai's salt tax according to Donggong's request, but it was still a huge sum of money.

Fifth Yuan said: "The palace order, my uncle said that the salt tax is a major matter of the court, and the household department has registered it. Now that there is no court, the court will definitely send a censor to question the crime."

"These five salts were stolen from the salt merchants by my uncle. No matter whether I do business or sell them, I can earn nearly [-] yuan. Please ask the palace order to present the salt to the prince." .”

Cheng Yuanzhen was a little hesitant. You must know that Jianghuai's salt tax is several million guan a year. Although this salt is expensive, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to [-]% of the salt tax.

Only to see that Fifth Yuan secretly took out another salt note, stuffed it into Cheng Yuanzhen's hand and said:
"I also ask the palace order to say a few words in front of His Highness!"

Now Cheng Yuanzhen accepted Yanyin, and then said: "This order has been out for a long time, and there is no one around the prince to serve, then I will go back and report to the prince first, and the matter of recommending Yantie envoy will have to wait for the prince to decide."

Fifth Yuan just wanted to send the plague god away at this time, so he quickly agreed with a thousand gratitude.

After seeing off Cheng Yuanzhen, Fifth Qi summoned Fifth Yuan.

"You just pack your luggage and go to Longyou."

Wu Yuan was taken aback and said, "Uncle? Did I hear correctly? Go to Longyou?"

Fifth Qi said: "I have selected a group of able-bodied clansmen and sold some of their properties. Take them with you to Longyou."

Fifth Yuan was even more surprised. The people from Tang Dynasty also relocated. The fifth family was originally from Gyeonggi, and they also came to Yangzhou to do business with Fifth Qi and bought some properties.

Now Fifth Qi actually asked the clansmen to sell off their property and asked Fifth Yuan to take him to Longyou.

Is uncle so optimistic about Longyou?
But since Wu Qi said so, and he is the head of the fifth family, Wu Yuan could only agree to get up and go to Longyou.

At the same time, in Tongliao City in western Liaoning, Yuchixin, who had already saved up enough supplies for the winter, looked at the cannons installed on the gun towers, and his heart was finally relieved.

Yu Chixin immediately summoned the generals under his command, preparing to integrate the forces of Liaodong and Liaoxi in winter when the strategic focus of the three towns of Hedong is on defending the Tang Dynasty.

The players are naturally gearing up. Since the implementation of the big detour strategy, these elite generals and players have been on their way.

After trekking across the grassland, everyone can't bear to fight for a long time.

However, Yu Chixin is still rational. Although the players have cannons, the number of players is still too small, and the strength of active attack is still not enough.

Therefore, in this military discussion, Yu Chixin decided to mop up the Khitans in western Liaoning first, and then attack Hedong after recruiting these Khitans.

Yu Chixin also meant to let the soldiers adapt to the severe cold weather in the Northeast. This time the plan was named "Winter Offensive", and the goal was to reorganize the Khitan tribes in the entire Songmo area.

For players who are sharpening their knives, these Daliao ancestors have only one choice——

Shunchang perishes.
