Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 149: An Immortal Immortal in the World!Truth is always within range! (Please subscribe!)

If it was in the past, Prince Li Ying's words would definitely provoke the anger of the officials.

Prince Li Ying was even mentally prepared at this moment.

But what surprised him was.

As soon as these words came out, the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

No one refuted him for the first time.

Many ministers subconsciously looked at Prime Minister Zhang Shuo in front of the crowd.

Zhang said that his eyes were slowly closed, as if an old god was there.

The other ministers also closed their mouths, not intending to speak.

The reason is very simple. Su Che said earlier that ministers can participate in the shares and get a share of the profits. There is a lot of money in it.

Regarding the matter of opening up the sea to do business, these extremely capable ministers and officials in the center of power are not fools, and they all know how much benefit there is.

If the imperial court is willing to take the lead and take officials like them and the aristocratic families behind them to open up overseas business routes, then they will definitely be willing.

but.

In this court, there is always a lack of stunned young people. At this moment, the admonishing doctor Han Xiu stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, open the sea to do business, compete with the people for profit, and compete with foreign countries for profit. With the prestige of our heavenly kingdom, I think this matter needs to be discussed."

As soon as these words came out, Crown Prince Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that no one objected, and he had no chance to say what he had prepared.

At this moment, Xuanzong Li Longji sitting on the dragon chair above, resting his forehead with his hand, did not speak, but asked the prince to argue with the advising doctor.

Crown Prince Li Ying glanced at his father, then at Han Xiu, the admonishing doctor, and said seriously: "What the admonishing doctor said is wrong. This is to make the shop bigger and take the initiative to spread the majesty and reputation of our Tang Dynasty to the whole world at home and abroad."

After a pause, Prince Li Ying continued: "This is a pioneering move to inherit Taizong's aspirations, and it can further confirm the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. How can it be said that it is detrimental to the majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the admonishing doctor froze for a moment, and was just about to speak.

I just heard Prince Li Ying continue to say: "I have a question to ask the counseling doctor. Before the implementation of Guanshanhai, the people could mine mines and sell salt. Since then, these things have been banned. Is this a competition for the interests of the people?" ? Do you want to return the right to sell these?"

Even in ancient times, salt was not so scarce, because it was a necessity, and the government controlled the sale of salt, making this industry a profiteering industry.

Salt sales have also become a very important part of the country's income.

In a sense, this is a struggle with the people.

Hearing this, Han Xiu, the counselor, was at a loss for words. He frowned and said, "Official mountains and seas have existed since ancient times. They are important weapons of the country. How can they be compared with opening seas for business?"

Crown Prince Li Ying asked directly: "Then how can you be sure that opening the sea to do business can't become the most important weapon of the country?"

As soon as these words came out, the admonishing doctor was completely speechless, he could only salute, and then retreated to his own position.

While Xuanzong Li Longji above saw such a scene, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Longji was in a very good mood.

When Li Longji was still the prince, Han Xiu was promoted as a virtuous man because of his reputation, and he served in the East Palace, and had an intersection with Li Longji.

After Li Longji came to power, he naturally began to promote Han Xiu all the way.

But this Han Xiu, obviously soft-spoken, but upright, he looks up to Wei Zheng everywhere, staring at Li Longji for advice.

This made Li Longji very depressed. Of course he was very happy to see him deflated.

Li Longji patted his palms lightly, and said with a smile: "The crown prince is right. Guanshanhai can become the most important weapon of the country, and it is not impossible to open the sea to do business! This matter can also strengthen my Tang Tianwei, and it will be beneficial without any harm. What do you gentlemen think?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall responded in unison: "My emperor is holy!"

"Okay!" Xuanzong nodded, and glanced up and down the court.

Originally, Xuanzong planned to take all the money for opening the sea to do business...

But this kind of thing is not necessary.

Su Che stopped him.

Su Che is very clear.

Just eating this kind of behavior alone will be hated.

Zhu Di once opened the sea and made a lot of money by using Zheng He's voyages to the West.

But the money basically went into Zhu Di's internal funds.

So later on, when Zhu Di died, those nautical charts were directly burned to nothing, and there was no mention of sailing to the West.

As a result, some families along the coast opened up seas to do business, smuggled and sold them, and they were extremely rich, all of which went into their own pockets, and had nothing to do with the imperial court.

During the Ming Dynasty, not only the number of vassals paying tribute was extremely large, but also the frequency was extremely high, which forced the Ming Dynasty to limit the number of tributes and the frequency of tributes.

For example, Jurchen Nurhachi went to Beijing to pay tribute eight times in person, and his younger brother Shuerhaqi also went to Beijing to pay tribute four times.

Later, although Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, he was quite active and enthusiastic when he paid tribute before, and everything was for profit.

The Silk Road, as well as the Silk Road on the sea, can not earn too much profit.

But if you want to eat all these benefits by yourself, it will definitely not go far.

and so.

Under Su Che's suggestion, Xuanzong finally compromised and decided to bring his ministers to play with the aristocratic families behind them.

When the emperor himself said that he wanted to open the sea to do business, the emperor would take the lead, let the clan, nobles, and important officials of the court, the rich contribute money, and some people contribute people. look.

Su Che said this matter once before, but after all, it was his own words, so it can't be counted. At this moment, the emperor's golden words are the real final word.

Soon, as the discussion started, the hall instantly became as lively as a vegetable market.

Originally, almost all the ministers in the court held opposing views on doing business overseas.

But as soon as he heard that the emperor was going to take them to play together, make money together, and share the money together, his expression changed instantly.

Even if the righteous words were strictly said before, 'Is this old man a greedy person? "The prime minister Zhang said that the money paid out was the most at the moment, accounting for a large share.

Even the admonishing doctor Han Xiu, who spoke out against it, has paid money and people at this moment.

Lords of the imperial court, this is a group of people who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty. When this group of people unite and work together, the resources and power they can use are terrifying.

Originally, Su Che only provided some superficial suggestions and some general ideas about opening up the sea for business.

If he were to be responsible for this matter, various departments would need to be dispatched, and the affairs would be complicated, and the progress would inevitably be delayed again and again.

But at this moment, under the discussion of these court officials, the progress is almost visible to the naked eye.

The construction of sea ships, the preparation of sailors, the number of sailors, nautical charts and compasses, and various weapons at sea, as well as the purchase of goods for trade, translation along the way, the food that sailors and sailors need to buy and pre-planning Preparing for training, and formulating the route...

In addition to these, various detailed regulations related to the laws related to opening the sea and doing business are also being continuously improved, and the regulations and laws will be perfected soon after everyone speaks to each other.

Originally, although Su Che had a concept about these things and knew how to prepare, he still had to take it step by step. Now all the princes of the imperial court joined the battle and solved these problems.

The progress was so fast and the efficiency was so high that even Emperor Xuanzong, who was sitting in a high position, showed a look of astonishment-when did his ministers become so powerful?

He could suddenly understand why Li Taibai strongly suggested to take the court princes to open the sea together, so as to distribute the benefits that they instinctively monopolized.

Although these important officials of the imperial court are ministers of the Tian family, they are indeed loyal, but if Xuanzong monopolizes the benefits of opening the sea, he will inevitably encounter many obstacles. If he takes them to play together, it will be unimpeded and smoother.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!

Although Emperor Xuanzong had seen through these ministers long ago, he still did not expect them to be so real...

If they eat alone and eat the benefits of opening the sea, these people can still do their best like they are now?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
After the discussion on opening the sea was completed, Emperor Xuanzong handed over the matter to Prince Li Ying to preside over it, and let him take full responsibility.

However, it was said that it was handed over to Prince Li Ying, but Su Che would handle the behind-the-scenes matters.

Therefore, after Prince Li Ying took the order, he subconsciously glanced at Su Che behind him, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Previously.

Because Xuanzong favored Concubine Wu Hui, he gradually neglected his son.

Concubine Wu Hui hopes that her son can become a prince, and she often listens to it.

This made Prince Li Ying feel the crisis.

since ancient times.

The relationship between the prince and the emperor is rarely particularly good, and basically they are in the same situation.

The prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. As long as he exists, he will easily threaten the uniqueness of the emperor's rights, which is intolerable for the emperor.

In addition, when the emperor is getting old and the prince is flourishing, the emperor will feel jealous.

A normal prince or crown prince can theoretically be the second in command. It is natural for the second in command to have conflicts with the first in command, especially if the relationship has lasted for a long time.

The emperor was prone to suspicion, thinking that the prince wanted to rebel.

When an emperor is strong, long-lived, and has many sons, his prince is basically unstable.

Many princes have a wish deep in their hearts that they dare not speak out-that is, can the emperor, you old man, die sooner?Explode the jade seal quickly!
For the position of prince, one cannot do well, nor can one do too well. It can be described as a dilemma.

The prince is a king in front of ministers and a minister in front of the emperor. How to deal with the two identities determines the relationship between the prince and the emperor.

This is not something ordinary people can handle well.

Supreme power is poison. Most emperors will choose the latter between the continuation of the empire and their own power, which leads to the fact that most talented princes will be killed.

Prince Li Ying has many sages around him, and he is also very aware of how embarrassing his situation is. He walks on eggshells every day, for fear of making mistakes, but if he has too many scruples, he will become a useless person in the eyes of the emperor, which is even more uncomfortable.

However, with the appearance of Su Che, everything seems to have ushered in a turning point.

Su Che is very strong, if he is asked to do something, he must do it.

Just like a strict teacher treats his students, he has no scruples at all because of his status as the crown prince.

However, being so strong made Prince Li Ying feel at ease. He subconsciously thought that all he had to do was listen to what the prince told him to do.

And doing so is often the best solution, which makes Prince Li Ying trust Su Che even more.

At this moment in the court hall, many people noticed the subconscious movements and gazes of Prince Li Ying, and they immediately understood who was responsible for the future opening of the sea to do business.

So after the court dispersed, Su Che immediately received a lot of banquets, and the attitude of the courtiers towards him took a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Before that, he was almost a public enemy of the whole people, but now, he has become a celebrity in the court in an instant. Even if it is the statement, he no longer shows Su Che's face. Instead, he talks to him in a pleasant manner and pulls him Go to a banquet and have a good time together.

Reality is often so realistic.

Facing everyone's invitation, Su Che didn't pretend to be lofty, and happily accepted it.

At this moment, Prince Li Ying also wanted to go to the banquet, trying to establish a good relationship with this group of court officials, but Su Che just glanced at him and asked: "You guys have said so much in the courtroom today, can you write it all down?" gone?"

As soon as these words came out, Crown Prince Li Ying couldn't help being taken aback, and then said with some embarrassment: "I only remember a few things..."

"Then you should go to someone, such as the Minister of Zhongshu, to inquire clearly, and then draw up the relevant plan, and make preparations for opening the sea. These are not done yet, what kind of banquet are you going to?" Su Che Said very bluntly, did not give the prince face at all.

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Che and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm going to drink." Su Che said naturally.

Li Ying: "..."

He thought that the teacher was in charge of this matter and would handle it for him, but there was obviously a big gap between the matter and what he thought. Su Che left all the matter to him, and did not intend to intervene at all.

"Okay..." Crown Prince Li Ying nodded helplessly, and then looked for the figure of Zhongshu's servant in the crowd.

Zhongshu Shilang is the subordinate official of Zhongshu Ling.

The Zhongshu Ling is the highest official of Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Sheng is the decision-making body responsible for drafting and issuing imperial edicts.

This position can be described as a high position and weight, and at the moment the prime minister Zhang Shuo is concurrently holding it.

At this time, the Zhongshu servant behind Zhang Yue came out quickly, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have written down the content of the previous discussion in the court, verbatim, and please move forward to discuss with me." plan."

Hearing this, Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Then I will trouble you!"

"This is what it should be!" Zhongshu Shilang said very politely.

"After you finish it, show it to me first, and then show it to Your Majesty after I finish reading it." Su Che said casually.

"I see." Li Ying nodded.

"Come on, we're going to drink." Su Che waved his hand.

After Li Ying left, the people around looked at Su Che with strange eyes.

Because Su Che's attitude towards Li Ying is too casual, it doesn't seem like the attitude towards the crown prince at all. Isn't he afraid that the future crown prince will ascend the throne and give him little shoes?

Although the emperor never dies for a day, the prince is still a prince.

But the status of the prince is still honorable, few people dare to be so shameless.

Su Che turned his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's go! Clean up the dust for me!"

"Let's go." Zhang said, stroking his beard and smiling.

Following this group of court officials, Su Che came to Zhang Shuo's mansion.

This is an extremely luxurious mansion.

The courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, green willows hang around, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and verandahs on all sides.

In the courtyard, the Yonglu Road is intertwined, dotted with mountains and rocks, and the plaque of "be blazing and prosper" is hung on the five huts.

The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with beautiful and exquisite gardens, and the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool.

The entire house, whether it is tables, chairs, doors, windows, and beds, is covered with carvings.

The real splendor of wealth and honor is vividly reflected in these details.

Su Che looked around the house, then looked at Zhang and said with emotion: "The house here is so luxurious, aren't you afraid that Doctor Yu Shi will impeach you?"

Zhang said with a chuckle, "I was a little worried at first, but after you came out like this, I'm not so worried anymore."

This is a cunning old fox who was very surprised and pleasantly surprised by Su Che's appearance.

Hearing these words, Su Che was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

Zhang said that he is a leader in the literary world. For a person like him, greedy for money and accepting bribes does not affect anything at all.

Xuanzong would not deal with him because of this trivial matter at all, he would only use this as his excuse and let him do things with all his heart.

To some extent, this is also a means of self-defilement.

In the huge banquet hall, several dancers with enchanting figures, wearing light clothes and long sleeves, are dancing ethereal dances. The musicians are playing beautiful music earnestly. A scene of joy and harmony.

Su Che drank wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the many important court officials present. Behind these people, there were more or less aristocratic families.

In the few years when Xuanzong came to the throne, he worked hard to govern. His method was to win over a group of nobles from aristocratic families and attack another group of powerful nobles from aristocratic families. So that the land equalization system and the government military system can continue to be maintained.

However, this kind of behavior also accelerated the growth of the great families, turning many families into behemoths. This behavior was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and did not fundamentally solve the problem.

So within a few years, the problem will reappear.

But that was already the best solution Tang Xuanzong could do.

The establishment of the Tang Dynasty was carried out with the support of the aristocratic family.

Emperor Taizong of Tang also took some so-called measures, which were indeed effective, but they were more aimed at suppressing the gentry other than the Guanlong gentry, such as the Shandong gentry next door.

During Wu Zetian's reign, the Shandong gentry was used to suppress the Guanlong gentry, but the Shandong gentry eventually became new nobles, aristocratic families, and clans.Xuanzong also suppressed it, but with little effect.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was basically to select talents from the upper class of society, and its essence was a mechanism for selecting talents within the upper class.

Only in the imperial examination, if the children of the poor family want to use it to stand out, it is almost impossible to reach the sky.

In today's terms, the imperial examination is just a formality, and the quota for the children of the aristocratic family has long been determined by default.

The so-called imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty claimed to have broken the monopoly of aristocratic families on official careers, but they only broke a hole in the previously impenetrable city wall, allowing people from the middle and lower classes to move to the upper class through this hole. The opportunities they can get are very few. Unfortunately, the height that can rise is completely restricted.

Afterwards, Huang Chao was also completely desperate for the so-called imperial examinations, and understood who was controlling the society, so he massacred those aristocratic families crazily, partly because of this.

The so-called thousand-year-old family is like a parasite to the dynasty itself. They continue to suck the flesh and blood of the dynasty, and they don't care about the disintegration of the dynasty at all, because no matter who is in charge of the country, it needs people to manage it.

They only care about their own wealth and interests, how can they care about the life and death of the country?

With such a group of insects, how can the country be governed well?

Su Che grasped his own sword, under the slight drunkenness, the murderous intent in his heart was already evident.

But he still endured it, so what if he killed it?
Such a person cannot be killed at all.

Killing the powerful family, as well as the scholar group, as well as the landlord and evil gentry...

Killing is inexhaustible.

Therefore, the only thing that can be done is to transfer the internal conflicts to the outside as much as possible, and use the way of inner saints and outer kings to force blood transfusions to maintain a relatively peaceful world.

At this moment, everyone toasted and exchanged chopsticks, having a great time, and some people were reciting poems and composing poems. It was a happy scene. Zhang said with a smile, "Brother Taibai, do you want to write a poem too?"

Su Che glanced at Zhang Shuo, then at the princes of the court, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Smiling lightly, Su Che drew out the sword at his waist, and with a bang, the sword flashed a cold light, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop a bit. Seeing this scene, everyone shrank back subconsciously.

Su Che waved his hands to let the dancing girl get out of the way, and then started to dance casually.

The murderous sword danced, and the sharp voice echoed in the air. The people who were slightly drunk could not help but wake up at this moment, and many people even touched their necks subconsciously.

This is a real murderous intent, a killing intent that can only be accumulated after a long battle and countless killings.

The guards accompanying Zhang Shuo's pupils shrank slightly at this moment, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!
"Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu hooks are bright with frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like shooting stars."

The slightly drunk Su Che started talking casually while waving his sword.

The room was very quiet at the moment, even the musician stopped involuntarily.

Some of the accompanying maids, who were originally talking to dignitaries in a low voice, were stunned when they saw the sword dance and heard the poem, and stared blankly at the young man who was dancing the sword.

Zhang Shuo was taken aback when he heard these two lines of poems, and subconsciously read them out: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook is frosty and snowy. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star..."

Simple and clear poems, at this moment, Zhang said that he seemed to be able to see the scene - Zhao Guo's chivalrous hats were dotted with Hu tassels casually, Wu hook swords were as bright as frost and snow, silver saddles and white horses reflected each other, and they galloped Like a rustling meteor.

The poems are very simple, but catchy, making people feel immersive!

As soon as this poem came out, many people's eyes lit up.

Song Jing couldn't help clapping her hands and listened carefully to the next game.

Su Che swung his sword again, the sword was so sharp that he almost wanted to kill someone, he continued:

"Kill one person in ten steps, and leave nowhere for a thousand miles. Go away and hide your name and name."

As soon as the poem came out, Zhang Shuo, who was going to applaud, forcibly swallowed the word "good" at this moment. He was a little afraid that the sword would really cut him, so he didn't say anything for a while.

However, he really thought too much, Su Che didn't start a killing spree, and now he took a few sips of alcohol with the jug, and finished reading the second half of the poem.

"After leisurely drinking at Xinling, I took off my sword and crossed it in front of my knees.

Will Zhi Zhu Hai, hold on to persuade Hou Ying.

Three cups of Turanuo, Wuyue is light.

After the dazzling ears are hot, the mood is suddenly born.

Rescue Zhao Huijin gavel, HD was shocked first.

Qianqiu two strong men, Xuhe Daliang city.

It is not ashamed to be a hero in the world.

Who can write your Excellency, Bai Shou Tai Xuan Sutra. "

After Su Che finished reading this poem, everyone in the banquet building was speechless, and everyone was shocked.

No one expected that a poem that this young and ambitious young man uttered casually could shock people so much!
This poem is simply too crazy, every sentence is wild, murderous, but crazy enough to convince people, this poem has the qualifications!

Very well written!
The princes of the imperial court are all well-informed people. Although most of them are from aristocratic families, they can stand in this position because they are not just rich and rich.

It was the first time for them to hear such a unique poem!

I was surprised for a while!

Su Che's previous two articles, whether it was "Ning and Youbang, No Domestic Slaves" or "The Wealth of Nations", had a major flaw in their writing. They were so straightforward that they didn't have any fancy rhetoric, and their style was very obvious.

So much so that people subconsciously feel that this person's writing skills are very average.

But what they didn't expect was that, while wielding a sword, Su Che blurted out a poem that stunned everyone.

How can the unique degree of this poem, its unprecedented wildness, be written by a human being?

The dancers and maids looked at the young man who put away the sword casually and continued to drink heavily, their eyes were dazed.

Among the crowd, He Zhizhang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is also a man of great talent. He was the number one scholar in the Yiwei Division in the first year of Empress Wu Zetian's Zhengsheng. Invite He Zhizhang to enter the academy and write "Liu Dian" and "Wen Zhuan" together.

After hearing this poem at this moment, he stood up and asked a little excitedly: "It's really impossible for a mortal to compose such a poem. Are you a god who was relegated to the mortal world that day?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard these words.

The previous "Ning and Youbang, No Domestic Slaves" and "The Wealth of Nations" have profound insights that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. At this moment, this heroic poem is even more beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Could it be that Su Che is really a fairy in the sky?Immortals who were relegated to the mortal world, isn't this just the immortals?

After hearing this, Zhang Shuo murmured, "What a banished immortal!"

"Are you really a Banished Immortal?" Song Jing asked blankly, he had completely believed this statement at the moment.

Just because there are real gods in this world, the seven great fairy mountains stand on the mountain outside the mountain, the gods and emperors are high above, watching everything in the world, they rarely interfere with everything in the world, but they do exist, this is an undeniable fact .

This Li Taibai is so young, can write articles such as "Ning and Youbang, Not to be a Slave" and "The Wealth of Nations", and can create such heroic poems, what else can he be if he is not a banished immortal?
"Exiled immortal?" Su Che was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, then he laughed loudly and said unrestrainedly: "My servant, Layman Qinglian exiled an immortal!"

As soon as the words came out, the princes looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were all a little dumbfounded. Is this an admission?
He Zhizhang asked: "Dare to ask the exiled immortal, what is the name of this poem?"

"Xia Ke Xing." Su Che said with a smile, this poem was written by Li Taibai, so he copied it without any psychological burden, and copied himself, does this count as copying?

"Xia Ke Xing..." He Zhizhang murmured, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a chivalrous person!"

"Those who dare not cooperate with Kaihai to do business can write such poems as chivalry, I'm afraid they will be unlucky..." Hearing this, Song Jing couldn't help but whispered.

After the banquet was over, Li Taibai's "Xia Ke Xing" spread wildly throughout the capital of Chang'an. This poem is full of heroism. Anyone who has read this poem will be shocked and deeply impressed. .

This poem and other poems are not in the same style at all.

Soon, this poem not only spread wildly in Chang'an, but even spread to the whole world.

Afterwards, there was another nickname of Li Taibai - Immortal Exiled in the World!

Legend has it that he is not a mortal...

It is a fairy who was relegated from the sky to the mortal world.

This title is very appropriate and a very reasonable explanation.

Soon, even Xuanzong heard of the name and saw the heroic heroine.

Even Li Longji had to admit: "This poem is really amazing. It's the first time I saw such a poem. It turns out that poems can be written like this!"

……

"Are you really a Banished Immortal?" Crown Prince Li Ying looked at Su Che curiously.

Su Che looked at the proposal in his hand seriously, and said without raising his head, "You can take me for it."

"Okay." Li Ying nodded, "How is my plan going?"

"It's not bad." Su Che gave a fairly fair evaluation: "The plan is written, and the next step is to execute it."

"If the imperial court wants to open up the sea to do business, there will definitely be people who are unwilling to cooperate. You have to get people ready and prepare for the massacre." Su Che said casually.

"The opening of the sea to do business is a joint decision of the imperial court. How could anyone dare not cooperate?" Li Ying said in surprise after hearing this.

"You have to understand a truth. Money touches people's hearts. If the benefits are enough, merchants will even sell ropes to strangle themselves..." Su Che said lightly.

"As long as the profits are sufficient, merchants will even sell ropes to strangle themselves..." These words shocked Li Ying directly, and he murmured: "Is there such a crazy person in this world?"

Afterwards, Li Ying nervously conveyed the plan and Su Che's words to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong looked at these plans, listened to Li Ying's words, and said undeniably: "He said well, you should be ready."

"My child understands." Li Ying lowered her head.

Sure enough, as the imperial court opened up the sea to do business, soon some wealthy businessmen in the country united with some foreign people, and even united with some Hu merchants to protest together.

They accused the Tang court of robbing the common people for jobs. This kind of behavior of competing for profits with the people and foreign countries is really inappropriate.

In Chang'an City, inside and outside the West City, merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Korea, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions gathered together. Their purpose was only one, and that was to ask the court of the Tang Dynasty not to open Do not compete with them for profit.

They knew that if there were only a few people protesting, the Tang court would definitely not care about it, so almost all foreign businessmen took the initiative to unite and staged various protests.

They walked out of the various neighborhoods in the West Market, united together, and walked out of the West Market.

"The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, how can it compete with barbarians like us? Is this the etiquette that the Tang Dynasty should have?"

"It's really unreasonable for the dignified kingdom to compete with barbarians like us!"

"Datang can't do this, it will make Datang's reputation overseas very bad!"

"The Great Tang is a kingdom of heaven and the head of all nations. How can it end up doing business with barbarian merchants like us?"

"We need to see the Great Tang Emperor, we want to see the Great Tang Emperor!"

While marching in groups, these businessmen shouted in unison, and they looked very angry.

Previously, after they heard about this incident, they tried to bribe the officials who had bribed before, and asked them to come forward to help solve it.

However, the matter of overseas business was a decision made by the emperor and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty. The officials they had bribed could not help them at all.

There is no way to solve the problem through this channel. Their only choice is to stick together.

now.

People from the yamen who maintained order came and tried to get them back to their own Lifang, so stop making trouble like this.

But this group of foreigners pretended not to understand, and pushed and shoved the servants without any scruples, not paying attention to these ordinary servants and soldiers at all.

Their identities are placed here, and even those soldiers and government officials dare not do anything.

As things got worse, the imperial court mobilized more people to stop the group of protesting foreign businessmen.

"go back!"

"Go back to me!"

"No more protests!"

"It's the court's decision to open the sea for business, and it's useless for you to protest!"

However, when they saw that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not going to solve the problem, but wanted to suppress them, they shouted in unison: "We want to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"We want to talk to Emperor Tang!"

It is impossible to back down if their problems are not resolved!

soon.

With the pushing and shoving, the conflict quickly broke out.

Some excited foreign businessmen, relying on their numbers and power, directly killed several yamen servants and soldiers.

After beating someone to death, these foreign businessmen calmed down immediately, realizing that they had made a big mistake, and scattered like fish and birds in an instant.

When more soldiers arrived, these foreign merchants could no longer see a single person.

A young lieutenant, looking at the corpses of the yamen servants and soldiers, had a very ugly expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "This group of damned foreign barbarians, how dare they?"

Those who died were yamen servants and soldiers. These people were from the lower classes. Even if they died, these foreign businessmen still thought that the law would not punish the public. There were so many of them and they were involved countless times.

But a dead person is a dead person after all.

Something happened.

There are too many foreign businessmen involved in this matter, whether it is the crown prince Li Ying or the people of Honglu Temple, everyone's scalp is numb, and they don't know how to deal with it.

There are too many people involved, are we going to arrest all those foreign businessmen, those Hu merchants?How big of a commotion does this have to cause?
Prince Li Ying found Su Che and asked for Su Che's help.

This made Su Che a little strange. He asked, "If a wealthy businessman in China beats to death the government servants at the gate of Chang'an City, how should he deal with it?"

"Arrest first, then interrogate and convict, and finally kill." Crown Prince Li Ying said without hesitation: "If no one is found out, everyone will be convicted!"

"Then why do you hesitate when you come to these foreign businessmen?" Su Che asked a little strangely.

As soon as these words came out, Crown Prince Li Ying was at a loss for words. He said helplessly: "Because this matter involves allies, it is easy to damage the dignity of Datang Overseas."

"So, even if rich overseas businessmen kill our servants and soldiers of Datang, can they be spared?" Su Che asked.

"Of course not. This is a very serious issue. It is absolutely impossible to compromise easily. So I also have a headache, how to solve it." Li Ying shook her head and said.

"So... just follow the rules of rich domestic businessmen?" Su Che shook his head and said with a sigh.

"This will cause shock overseas!" Li Ying said with a tingling scalp, "If it is a rich domestic businessman, this is easy to solve, but if it involves foreign businessmen, this is a major international case. If you do that, it may affect the development Hai doing business... master, can you understand?"

"I've always understood." Su Che stared at Li Ying, and said calmly: "The one who has never understood is you, not me."

"I said at the beginning that foreign businessmen who dare to make trouble can just be killed."

"As long as you kill chickens and monkeys, it's easy to frighten this group of foreign businessmen."

"But you dare not kill, dare not deal with Thunder, and let them make trouble."

"Now that such a big incident has happened, I am even more timid, and I don't know what to do..."

"The way to deal with it has always been very simple, it's just that you dare not do it."

"You have always looked forward and backward, and you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. You really don't have the air of a king at all."

"It's really a pity that a domestic slave is dead, and foreign friendship is the most important thing?"

Hearing Su Che's words, Crown Prince Li Ying's face flushed with shame, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know!!"

"No." Su Che said lightly, "You don't know, and you don't understand either."

"There is no real friendship between countries, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"Truth is always within the range of a crossbow arrow!"

"Overseas barbarians are all fearful of authority and not afraid of morality. Using benefits to win over them is only a temporary measure. They have never been our friends."

"If you kill all the overseas businessmen who dare to make trouble, what can you do? What do they dare to do?"

"Since the tribute has been paid, they are our vassal states in name. If the father beats his son, do we still need to worry about his son's opinion?"

"If those barbarians overseas dare to have opinions, cut off friendship, and prevent Datang from opening up the sea to do business..."

"Then launch the heavenly soldiers and conquer the kingdom of disobedience!"
