This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 491 Volume [-] Storms in Chang'an!
Xu Jingzong did not know how to do business, but his purpose this time was not for business.

Is it true that he wants to open a brothel in the Ming court?

What about trouble?

A dignified official of the Tang Dynasty, running a brothel on the site of the prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Even if Xu Jingzong regarded wealth as his life, he would not be able to do this.

The reason why he said that was nothing more than the long period of time required to open a brothel, so that it was convenient for him to stay longer in the six cities of the grassland.

It's not possible, he really does business with the money given by Changsun Wuji, right?

In this way, Changsun Wuji had to hate him to death.

To put it bluntly, opening a brothel is just a pretense to buy time.

"The old man doesn't delay the shopkeeper's business anymore. He has been recuperating in your store for a while. Today he just recovered from a serious illness and wants to go around." Xu Jingzong said, and ordered someone to go to the counter to settle the meal payment.

The shopkeeper Li didn't say much, he said a few words on the scene and watched Xu Jingzong walk out of the inn.

"That's it, are you still doing business?" Seeing Xu Jingzong leave, shopkeeper Li shook his head and sneered. How could a businessman dive in without first asking about the situation of the shops in the city?
When Xu Jingzong was pretending to be looking for shops in the six cities of the grassland, Duan Lun and others rushed back to Chang'an in a hurry.

Since Li Er asked them to return to Beijing quickly, they certainly did not dare to delay.

"Your Majesty, Ji Guogong and the others are back." In the palace, a servant reported to Li Er.

Hearing this, Li Er immediately stood up and asked, "Where is the man?"

"It should be outside the palace now, waiting for His Majesty to summon you."

"pass!"

After a while, Duan Lun and others all arrived at the scene.

Li Er sat on the throne of the Liangyi Hall, looked at the dusty crowd, and nodded with satisfaction, which meant that after they returned to Beijing, they entered the palace without going anywhere, even at home.

"All the ministers have worked hard." Li Er said with a serious face, "This journey is thousands of miles away, and the ministers have arrived in the capital in a few days. I am afraid that this journey has been exhausting!"

After saying that, Li Er came down, patted Duan Lun on the shoulder and said, "You are already old, why rush for a while? If I am exhausted, how will I explain to Gao Mi. "

"Your Majesty is serious." Duan Lun felt very comfortable when he heard these words, but he still had a righteous look on his face, "Your Majesty urgently summoned the ministers to return to the capital, and he must have something important to order, how dare the ministers delay?

It's just a thousand miles away, and the old minister can still bear it! "

Li Er patted Duan Lun's shoulder again, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked towards Yan Lide and just patted him on the shoulder as well.

"My ministers have worked hard on this mission." Li Er suddenly said, "Come here, tell Guanglu Temple that tonight, I will invite the mission to return to Beijing!"

Duan Lun was taken aback by his words, this is a bit too much.

Since ancient times, missions have not been treated like this when they return to Beijing.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid!" Duan Lun said in a hurry.

"The ministers are terrified." The other officials in the mission were not fools, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted upon seeing this.

This is to roast them on the fire!
The point is, they really didn't make much credit.

Li Er didn't mind these things, and said with a smile: "You don't need to panic, you have done a great thing for my Tang Dynasty this time!

Especially Ji Guogong, who wants to buy back such a technology that benefits the country and the people for my Tang Dynasty, he is really a model for all officials!
How can a banquet show its merits? "

The reason why he did this was to let everyone know that Li Er supported Duan Lun.

This time, Duan Lun offended half of the people in the court. If those guys in the court later made trouble, Duan Lun would inevitably give up his opinion, but Li Er didn't want to give up.

If you have been in a high position for a long time, why would you want to fall behind?
Duan Lun is also a fine person, when he heard Li Er's words, he immediately understood.

He has not yet been besieged by those guys in the court. Although he knows how powerful it is, he has not experienced it himself, so he still has such a fire in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."

With Duan Lun taking the lead, the officials of the mission had no choice but to cup their hands and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."

They are all grasshoppers on the same boat now, and it is not so easy to get out.

This is also Li Er's purpose.

He needs supporters, and Duan Lun also needs supporters.

"Tell me, what can I gain from this trip to Ming Dynasty?" Li Er laughed when he saw this.

Duan Lun subconsciously stretched out his hand to take out the memorial, but Li Er waved his hand and said, "There is no rush for the memorial, let's talk about it first, the Imperial Court of Ming Dynasty is indeed a magical place."

After hearing Li Er's words, Duan Lun understood, and then said: "I have gained a lot, but the most important thing is Daming Hospital."

"Da Ming Hospital?" Li Er asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

Duan Lun explained in detail what the Daming Hospital was all about, and Li Er became more frightened the more he heard it!
Good guy, if this is really done, it will really become a gospel for the benefit of the people all over the world.

"Not bad." Li Er nodded and said, "Gao Ming knows that people are the foundation, which is very good. If the people all over the world support him, then his Daming royal court will be built with iron!

Even if Murong Fuyun got up from the ground, he was powerless. "

"Your Highness is indeed beyond reproach on this point." Duan Lun said, "The old minister has not been in the Ming court for a long time, but the veteran found that there is a different kind of spirit in the Ming court. Even the people of my Tang Dynasty don't have this spirit."

"How to say?" Li Er asked.

In fact, he is not a stranger to the Ming court.

It is not an exaggeration to say that every day at least one secret letter from the Daming royal court will be placed on his desk. Since Li Chengqian settled down in Riyue Mountain, it has been like this every day without interruption.

However, those secret letters mostly talked about the official affairs of the Ming court, but seldom talked about the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hope." Duan Lun thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, the old minister didn't know what words to use to describe the spirit of the people of Ming Dynasty, but I heard His Highness mention it by chance. What did the old minister think? For reason.

His Highness said that the people of Ming Dynasty can have nothing, but they cannot live without hope.

Therefore, for more than a year, His Highness has actually intentionally or unintentionally given the common people of Daming a hope of survival.

Of course, at the beginning it was just a hope of survival, but as the situation in Daming got better and better, more and more people now had hoped for a better life.

This hope can be seen from the expressions on their faces. "

"Practice and persuasive?" Li Er smiled when he heard the words, and said, "It's okay, human beings need the hope of living when they have no food or clothing.

When you can barely make a living, you need the hope of being well-fed.

When a person has no worries about food and clothing, he naturally needs greater hope.

It is said to be hope, but it is actually desire, but as the saying goes, desire is hard to fill, and now Gao Ming can use this to fill the entire Daming with fighting spirit.

But once he has cultivated the desires of these common people to infinity, what will he give these common people? "

On this point, Li Er did not agree or approve.

Hope is a good thing, but it's not just a good thing.

Duan Lun also nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Indeed, this is a double-edged sword, but regardless of the future, at least for now, Daming's state is indeed slightly better than Datang's.

As for the future, looking at His Highness's confident appearance, he presumably has already thought of a solution.

Whether it can be done, we can only wait and see. "

Li Er didn't say much on this issue, he waved his hand and said, "Is there anything else besides these?"

"Also." Duan Lun didn't think much, and said immediately, "Da Ming recently made a thing called a microscope, which can observe subtle things. The old minister almost smashed it when he saw it for the first time... ..."

As he said that, Duan Lun also recounted the original scene.

Li Er listened to such anecdotes with great interest: "So miraculous?"

"It's so amazing." Duan Lun said, "For this reason, the old minister almost got into a fight with Daoist Sun."

"In terms of strange skills and obscenity, my Tang Dynasty really cannot catch up with the brilliant Ming court." Although Li Er is unwilling to be inferior to others, he will never hide what should be admitted.

But Yan Lide heard Li Er's words from the side, and immediately stood up, saying: "Your Majesty, this is not a cunning skill, but a real great wisdom!"

"I forgot about you." Li Er didn't care what Yan Lide said. This guy is just like that. If Chao is just a medical idiot, then Yan Lide is worthy of engineering. A silly word, "How is it? You went to the Daming Royal Court to exchange and study this time. Did you gain anything?"

"Return to Your Majesty." After speaking, Yan Lide was about to reach out to take the prepared memorial, but Duan Lun held his hand and said, "Your Majesty asked you to talk casually, it doesn't need to be so formal."

As he spoke, he winked at Yan Lide.

Although Yan Lide didn't understand the reason, he still said immediately: "It has benefited a lot, this time I have exchanged a lot of engineering knowledge with the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Although they are not familiar with craftsmanship, they are quite bold when it comes to innovation, just like that Qu Yuanli.

Speaking of Quyuanli, it actually originated from the plowshares before my Tang Dynasty. They just improved on the previous plowshares.

But it was this small improvement that caused Ji Guogong to go bankrupt and want to buy back this technology.

Your Majesty, a full [-] guan!
Twenty thousand is enough for how many poor families live?
However, His Majesty didn't know that in the Daming royal court, the first craftsman who built this Quyuanli according to the plan was only rewarded with more than a hundred strings!

A mere hundred!

Just let us Ji Guogong spend [-] guan.

I heard that in order to make up for the [-] yuan, Duke Ji's mansion sold houses and land, and even the Duke's mansion was mortgaged!
Not worth it! "

Yan Lide was talking there with great interest, but Li Er looked at Duan Lun as if he had seen a ghost, and thought to himself, what's wrong with this guy?
Opened up?

What is a mere hundred?
What is a full [-] guan?

You have to say this to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. What's the use of telling me?

"General Yan has a lot of insights." Li Er saw that Duan Lun nodded indistinctly, and then said, "So, tomorrow morning, General Yan will speak today's remarks at the court meeting, and tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. listen!
Let them also listen to how the Ming court oppressed those craftsmen! "

His meaning is very simple, if you can say something, just say more.

Yan Lide just didn't like these things, and he wasn't really stupid. After hearing what Li Er said, he didn't understand something, so he immediately bowed to accept the order.

After chatting with Duan Lun and others for a while, Li Er roughly understood what was going on, and arranged for someone to take them to a banquet.

As for himself, of course he would not go.

Since the banquet was given sincerely, can the big guy eat comfortably when he goes there?

At the wine table, Yan Lide looked at Duan Lun and said, "Old Duan, why did you stop me from giving the memorial to His Majesty just now?"

"You really have no brains!" Duan Lun shook his head speechless, "Your Majesty means that we will play it in front of everyone at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow, who will watch it now?

Show it to His Majesty?
The point is, as far as His Majesty's attitude is concerned, there is no need, do you understand? "

Yan Lide understood what he said.

Indeed, judging from Li Er's attitude today, he really doesn't need to read any more memorials.

While Duan Lun and others were having a banquet in the palace, the city of Chang'an was full of wind and clouds.

The news of Duan Lun's entry into the palace naturally cannot be concealed from the dignitaries in Chang'an City.

Especially guys like Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Fu shot, I have to find a way." Dai Zhou hurriedly found Fang Xuanling's in-laws and said, "As soon as this old Duan came back, he entered the palace. It seems that this old thing is a bastard who eats weights—— I am determined!"

"Industrial transformation is beyond our ability to stop." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Since His Majesty's words came out a few days ago, I have thought about it seriously, and there is indeed no way to solve it." .”

He couldn't gamble, or rather he didn't dare to gamble.

Even if he finally persuaded Li Er to give up the so-called industrial reform, but if such unspeakable things really happened in the future, even if Fang Xuanling had already been turned into a handful of loess by then, his Fang family was still alive. ah!
At that time, no matter whether Li Er wins or Li Chengqian wins, today's events will be revealed, and those who participated in today's events will be blamed.

At that time, the Fang family might not be spared.

Therefore, for the sake of his descendants, he dare not...

As for Dai Zhou, well, this guy has nothing to dare, he is an heir to begin with, to put it bluntly, when the old Dai's family came to him, the incense was actually cut off.

So, he is afraid of shit.

The most important thing is that the industrial revolution cannot do without the expenditure of money and food. As the secretary of the household department, Dai Zhou, even if it is changed, he can't change so much money and food!
"Isn't there any civil and military man in the whole dynasty who dares to speak?" Dai Zhou sighed and said, "Today I am just a craftsman, but once this opening is opened, in the future it may be a businessman..."

Everyone knows that this opening cannot be opened, but who dares to say anything?

Li Er's assumption really scared the people present that day.

Fang Xuanling heard the words, but didn't say much.

He really didn't know what to say.

Well, who doesn't have a little selfishness?
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was speechless for a long time, Dai Zhou flicked his sleeves, sighed, and left angrily.

He knew what these people were worried about, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, that sort of thing could happen.

Because, it really happened!
After Dai Zhou left, Fang Xuanling also walked to the door. Suddenly, an incomprehensible smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "The dust hasn't settled yet. I don't dare, and neither does Dai Zhou." , but there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, don’t all of them dare?”
