Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 637

The public money system also existed in Yongzhou.

The nine money-catching officials have a capital of fifty guan, a monthly profit of [-] guan, and the full amount can be replenished in one year.

It's either loan sharking or selling an official position.

However, public money, which is very important to other states and companies, is of no importance to Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is the best state in the world. Either it is not short of money, or it is not short of these three melons and two dates.

Chicken ribs.

Even if Li Shimin is a wise king, he cannot deny that this is a bad government, a deep-rooted bad government.

But Yongzhou wanted to get rid of this bad government in one fell swoop, even if it was only in the three-thirds of an acre of Yongzhou, Emperor Zhenguan did not dare to let Fan Zheng implement it.

Pull one hair and move the whole body;

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

With Fan Zheng in Yongzhou, he can make money to make up for the money hole of the company. What about other states and companies?
Following Fan Zheng's example will inevitably lead to a backlash from various companies, and a strong backlash!
The officials couldn't help but ask, why did our official chef disappear like this?

If there was no such thing as welfare in the first place, there would definitely be no resentment.

However, in the beginning, if you have to cut them down, even the most honest officials will have to jump around.

Doesn’t this bully honest people?

No matter how greedy an official is, as long as he seeks benefits for the officials below him, no matter how deserving of death he is in the eyes of the court and the people, the officials must still remember his good deeds.

"Tell me about other ideas." Li Shimin's eyelids twitched after Fan Zheng was stopped.

Fan Zheng began to blow loudly.

An official who cannot brag is not a good official.

"This move is to help the Tang Dynasty win over the Turks who are adjacent to the border. If the Turks benefit from this, they will definitely work hard to maintain peace in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty."

This is true. If you want to invade the border at this time, you have to ask Adzhou, Zhishi, Bayan, and Sunong in Dingxiang Governor's Mansion if they agree.

If Datang closes its mutual trade, will you give them the salt, iron, grain, and tea they want?

Their wool can't be sold, why buy it?

It is normal for them to meet each other with swords, and Datang does not need to worry too much in the north.

The prince nodded frequently. He could barely think of this, but it was not thorough.

“Who is willing to work hard to herd horses when the wool is profitable?”

Fan Zheng's casual words made Emperor Zhenguan and the prince think deeply.

Something seems wrong?

If you think about it, with fewer horses, the Turks would have reduced their mobility, and the threat to the Tang Dynasty's frontiers would have been sharply reduced.

Isn't that a good thing?

It doesn’t seem right. There are fewer Turkic horses. The Tang Dynasty Yue Riding needs war horses. Isn’t it difficult to obtain them?
The pastoral supervisors in Longyou of Taipu Temple have hundreds of thousands of horses, but rough horses account for the majority!

The proportion of fine horses is not high. We need to keep breeding horses and good horses. The number of horses that can be supplied every year is limited.

No way, the total military strength of the Tang Dynasty was about 60, of which nearly 18% were Yueqi, so the number of war horses would have been [-].

That's it, it's just one person and one horse.

Even if you don’t have to change horses every year, you still need to change horses every ten years, right?
This is still the case in the Sui and Tang Dynasties when horseshoes were nailed in large numbers and the proportion of war horse losses decreased.Note that the war horse must be a fine and thin horse, not an ordinary riding horse, let alone a pack horse or a draft horse!
In addition to the huge benefits of the Silk Road, there is also the need for Ma Yuan to supplement the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate at a huge cost!
The Tang Dynasty could rely on infantry regiments to win, but it could not lose the flexibility and strength of Yueqi to break formations.

The prince's eyes were a bit complicated, and he really didn't know how to comment on this matter.

Emperor Zhenguan leaned on the small jade chariot and chuckled: "It should be more than that, right? Fan Qing always has a backup plan when doing things."

This sounds a bit weird!

Fan Zheng smiled: "Everything is hustle and bustle, it's all for profit. Dingxiang Governor's Mansion has benefited, and all the grassland tribes should follow suit. It's hard for Ma Shao to commit banditry again. If there are more sheep, the scope of nomadic herding will inevitably be fixed."

The most difficult thing about the nomads is that they live in pursuit of water and grass. This generation of Tang generals is familiar with their way of survival. What about the next generation, and the next generation after that?

If there are too many sheep, the migration speed will naturally not be faster, and they will inevitably live in enclosures. After all, sheep are indeed not as far as cattle and horses.

Nomadic, without travel, the threat is greatly reduced.

"But Datang has been paying to support them?"

Well, Emperor Zhenguan made the same mistake again. After all, he was a person who was used to being poor.

"No way! You can make money from dirty felt, but there's no reason why the fragrant and fine fabrics we make shouldn't be valuable."

By the way, the Tang Dynasty was not without felt-making skills. Yuanzhou and Xiazhou Juefu white felt, Beizhou Juefu ancient felt, Taozhou Maoyu, and Liangzhou Luobu. The difference in craftsmanship is not too big.

"On the contrary, the appearance of Dr. Gong Jiao reminded me that legends, classic stories, and beautiful scenery from the Central Plains since ancient times can be incorporated into felts and rugs, and the fabrics may not be allowed to be sold all over the world."

"We are interested in exotic customs, and foreign countries will also be interested in the customs of the Tang Dynasty."

Think of a group of Romans with tall noses and deep eyes, shaking their heads and praising the mythical story of "lying on the ice to ask for a carp". The picture must be beautiful.

The prince raised his head and smiled: "If we can weave into it the hardships and hardships of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, can it be widely circulated?"

"If you were to weave the majestic scene of His Majesty holding a three-stone bow and shooting a path for the Tang Dynasty, I don't know..."

Fan Zheng looked at the prince and thought something was wrong. Even the handsome prince knew this well. How could he be a sycophant in the future?
Emperor Zhenguan was overjoyed and patted the back of the prince's hand: "The prince understands me!"

Li Shimin has never changed his habit of being too fond of success. He just likes it. What's wrong?
The loess is buried up to the neck. It’s just this stinky problem that won’t change!

Fan Zheng crossed his hands: "I think that although the prince's proposal is good, attention must be paid to the details. If it is woven into the carpet, will it violate a taboo?"

There is a saying here. If you don’t know why, you woven the emperor’s head into the felt, and if someone else steps on the felt, someone might be killed!

Li Shimin nodded: "Yeting Order, do you understand? Fan Qing saved your life."

Ye Tingling was sweating profusely and crossed his hands in salute to Fan Zheng.

If Fan Zheng hadn't deliberately reminded this, someone would have inevitably woven the emperor's portrait into the felt on the floor.

When the time comes, not just one or two guilty palace members will die, but the two Ye Ting Lings will also die!
Although he has been a deformed person for a long time, he may live, but who wants to die?

The whole process is: Yongzhou is responsible for purchasing the white wool, and the Yeting Bureau is responsible for cleaning, carding, and weaving. The finished utensils are then disposed of by Yongzhou.

What the Yeting Bureau can earn is the labor cost of three melons and two dates, the bulk of which is shared with Yongzhou from internal funds.

Emperor Zhenguan did not say anything about the divided share, but the prince was not harsh and only wanted [-]% of the profit.

From the perspective of Emperor Zhenguan, the prince was really gentle.

If it were him, it would be at least [-]%!
Fan Zheng sneered: Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the term "false accounts"?Believe it or not, if Fan takes action, the Yushitai will not be able to figure out what happened?
Under the false accounts, Fan Zheng could eat until his mouth was full and still complain about the loss, and then hang a few luminous pearls for fun in the Yongzhou Second Hall.

If a thousand-guan luminous pearl is missing, it is not called a luminous pearl.
