Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 675 Chaos in Chang'an

Qian Xun, the governor of Muzhou, finally got the result he wanted. Zhang Duanyang agreed to lead his "private soldiers" to Huanchun County to put down the pirates.

Qian Xun was overjoyed, and immediately stated that Muzhou would bear the cost of dispatching the army, and all the stolen goods should be owned by Zhang Duanyang's private army, and he promised that Zhang Duanyang would not suffer.

Qian Xun and Zhang Duanyang reached an agreement, and the governors of several other states were also in a hurry.

There are more or less problems of pirates or road bandits in their jurisdiction, and they have also put forward the same conditions, asking Zhang Duanyang to go to suppress the bandits.

Zhang Duanyang naturally agreed to all of them, and now several state governors treated Zhang Duanyang with incomparable respect.

The governors of the original state were dissatisfied with the observation that the imperial court sent Zhang Duanyang above their heads, but now Zhang Duanyang has soldiers in his hands and agrees to help them suppress the bandits, and has never intervened in the state affairs since he took office.

Now the governors of various states must be very respectful to him, wishing to worship him as a bodhisattva.

Zhang Duanyang quietly waited for his [-] private soldiers to be in place. He inspected the construction of new barracks every day, and did not intend to interfere in the government affairs of the states.

The situation in eastern Zhejiang is changing quietly, and the battle situation in the imperial court is stable and improving.

In addition to forcibly confiscating Kaiyuan Tongbao, the government officials in Chang'an County also forced them to buy things with Qianyuan Chongbao. The goods snatched from merchants at a currency value of one to ten were even resold to merchants at market prices on the same day.

Li Heng is in a pretty good mood recently. As long as Shi Siming is destroyed, the Shi Siming Rebellion in Anlu Mountain, which has been tossing the Tang Dynasty for more than three years, can finally be put down.

In addition, the imperial court also wrote to Wang Xuanzhi, asking Fan Yang and Pinglu's Tang army to also dispatch to attack Taiyuan, Shi Siming's lair.

Chang'an forced the introduction of new money, as did Crown Prince Li Chu in Bianzhou.

Chang'an County went one step further and directly declared that the use of Kaiyuan Tongbao in Chang'an County was illegal.

Now other counties in Chang'an have followed suit, and like Cui Wang, they have also begun to search for folk Kaiyuan Tongbao.

As soon as this policy came out, the price of Qianyuan Zhongbao in Chang'an fell again on the black market, and the people instead exchanged Qianyuan Chongbao for other coins.

Most of the repertoires performed by the emperor are the love-hate stories of historical gods, kings, generals and ministers. Among them, the excerpt "Farewell My Concubine" is the most talked about by the people of Chang'an.

After the performance of "Farewell My Concubine", the story of the emperor and Yang Yuhuan began to be sung in the city of Chang'an, and their love was praised one after another.

Cui Wang, the magistrate of Chang'an County, put all the Kaiyuan Tongbao handed in by the yamen servants into boxes, and then sent them to the household department from Zhuque Street with gongs and drums.

Li Heng also issued a death order this time. Even the money sent to Guo Ziyi to reward the soldiers was replaced with Qianyuan Chongbao. He also strictly ordered Jingzhaoyin and Jingzhao counties to strictly investigate merchants who do not use Qianyuan Chongbao. .

The anti-rebellion finally saw the light of day, Li Heng once again rewarded the frontline army, this time the court can be said to have emptied the family.

At the same time, Li Heng wrote to Guo Ziyi that Shi Siming's main force must be wiped out in this battle!

Shi Siming could only withdraw his troops to the city instead of continuing to fight Guo Ziyi in the wild.

This is the story of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who bid farewell to his lover Yu Ji after being ambushed from ten sides.

The yamen servants in Chang'an County rushed directly to the shops in Chang'an County, and snatched Kaiyuan Tongbao when they encountered it. Some yamen servants and officials even rushed into the homes of rich people in various lifangs, and began to search Kaiyuan Tongbao when they came to the door.

For his father, Li Heng's feelings are naturally complicated. After all, Li Longji is his father, although he is not very kind to him, but after all, he canonize himself as the prince, and his throne is also obtained from his father. of.

The situation in Xiangzhou changed again. Guo Ziyi learned his lesson this time and no longer only attacked big cities like last time.

After Cui Wang received the imperial edict, he immediately acted.

All of a sudden, reports became common in Bianzhou, and even the Water Transport Yamen used Kaiyuan Tongbao to pay Li Fu's wages.

The troops recruited by the imperial court from all over the country finally assembled in Huayin. The army under Guo Ziyi's command reached 40 people, which has surpassed the army in Shi Siming's hands.

When Li Heng heard that Chang'an County had handed over a million dollars to the household department, he felt even more at ease, and ordered to praise Cui Wang.

And the price of food in Chang'an rose again, and the prime ministers also wrote to the emperor, asking not to implement the new money so eagerly.

How come after such a short time, the people of Chang'an began to praise their "love" again?

And Yang Yuhuan caused chaos in the harem, every time the emperor spent a lot of money for Yang Yuhuan, and even sent Yang Yuhuan lychees with the army to send an urgent post.

At this time, Fifth Qi, Duzhilang of the Ministry of Finance, who formulated the new money law, wrote to the imperial court. He should wait until the prices in Chang'an stabilize before promoting Qianyuan Chongbao to the whole country.

But during the execution, the government servants don't care whether you traded with Kaiyuan Tongbao or Qianyuan Chongbao. Anyway, if you put a few Kaiyuan Tongbao in your payment, they can frame you as privately using old money, and then transfer all All payment was confiscated.

The first is the issue of the new money law. After the implementation of the new money law in Chang'an, under such a bad situation, Li Heng still decided to promote the new money law to the whole country.

But this time Li Heng did not adopt the suggestions of the prime ministers at all, and insisted on promoting the new money throughout the country.

However, during this period of time, Li Heng became more and more dissatisfied with his father. After setting up a stage to perform on the Huae Tower last time, the emperor seemed to have an addiction to performing. Then he performed several times on the Huae Tower, attracting the crowds of Chang'an people. .

When he heard that the merchants had fled, Cui Wang became even more angry. He ordered the soldiers to raise the fence on Zhuque Street, and ordered the soldiers to patrol near the fence. Anyone who was about to flee to Wannian County was arrested and sent back to the county government prison.

Li Heng also changed his previous moderate administrative measures, requiring the people of Chang'an to use Qianyuan Chongbao for settlement, and at the same time prohibiting the use of Kaiyuan Tongbao and other currencies of the old dynasty.

First of all, the previous emperor who was willing to listen to the opinions of his ministers and be kind and kind was gone.

Li Heng, who got the news from Dongchang, spat hard.

If he can quell the rebellion in such a short period of time, then the evaluation of himself in the history books will definitely surpass that of his father!

Now the entire Chang'an County, the previous joy because of Tang Jun's victory was swept away, and now the entire Chang'an County is gloomy.

The minting workshop of the Ministry of Industry worked day and night to smelt Kaiyuan Tongbao into Qianyuan heavy treasure.

Instead, the cleaning up of villages, towns and counties colluded with the remnants of Hedong, and went deep into the mountains to suppress bandits. The local forces in Xiangzhou who supported Shi Siming were terrified, and either fled into the mountains or surrendered to the Tang army. Xiangzhou finally settled down.

Li Heng was also very satisfied with Cui Wang's mobility, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to step up the production of Qianyuan Chongbao.

Before Xiangzhou counterattacked, Li Heng was still willing to listen to the opinions of his prime ministers, and was willing to turn around when encountering problems.

Under such circumstances, merchants in various counties in Chang'an fled to Wannian County under Wang Chengwei's rule.

After the fall of Chang'an, even the Forbidden Army was extremely dissatisfied with these two men, thinking that Yang Yuhuan was a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

After the number of troops increased, Guo Ziyi launched another attack and fought another battle with Shi Siming who retreated to Xiangzhou.

This time Chang'an's new money law caused even greater confusion, but for the emperor, all of this was just an analgesia for the common people, and when the Qianyuan Chongbao passed through the country, the temporary chaos in the money law would end.

This time, Cui Wang, the magistrate of Chang'an County, was the most determined person to carry out the emperor's order.

He also issued a decree that all merchants who report transactions using open source notifications can receive a reward of one-tenth of the penalty.

Merchants in Bianzhou no longer dare to trade with money, and some merchants even barter for fear of being reported.

Li Heng's dissatisfaction with the emperor continued to accumulate, and as the Anshi Rebellion came to an end, Li Heng also gradually changed.

However, Li Chu, the prince in Bianzhou, wrote a letter saying that he promoted the new money in Bianzhou with "excellent results", and merchants and common people all supported the new money law of the court.

Li Heng directly ordered that Yangzhou, Chengdu, Jingzhou, Quanzhou and other important cities should start using Qianyuan Chongbao.

Like Cui Wang of Chang'an, Li Chu banned the use of Kaiyuan Tongbao in Bianzhou.

After Yang Guozhong became the prime minister of the empire, he has been targeting Li Heng, the prince, and even almost let his father depose him.

But since Xiangzhou counterattacked, Li Heng didn't listen to advice anymore.

But for the brother and sister Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong, Li Heng hated it to the bone.

After this war, although Shi Siming defended Xiangzhou, he lost troops and generals.

Bianzhou was originally a commercial city, and now that the money law is chaotic, it is impossible to carry out transactions, and the dissatisfaction in Bianzhou city is fermenting.

But Li Chu still didn't know how to restrain himself. He made money in Bianzhou, and imitated Zhang Wu at that time, and recruited recruits in Bianzhou.

But now the people of Bianzhou hate Li Chu to the bone, and those who are willing to join his new army are the local ruffians in the well of Bianzhou.

After these people joined the new army, they wandered the streets all day, doing all kinds of bad things, and Bianzhou became more chaotic.
