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

Chapter 686: The Counterattack of the Five Great Ming Dynasties!
In fact, not only him, but everyone in Chang'an was extremely curious.

Of course, no one would think that it was because Wei Shuyu returned to Chang'an.

If Wei Shuyu had said anything, given Wei Zheng's character, he would have been the first to target Li Chengqian, not Li Ke.

Therefore, everyone was curious about why Wei Zheng's attitude suddenly became clear. After all, this guy had been silent for a long time.

However, at this moment, Changsun Wuji had no intention of analyzing why Wei Zheng jumped out at this juncture. Instead, he was pondering what Li Er had said before.

Controlling your subordinates and making decisions, don’t listen to one side?

This is not just about Li Ke, right?
Ever since he met the Ming Dynasty envoy that day, Changsun Wuji always felt that Li Er would make big moves in the near future, and this feeling was extremely strong.

At this moment, he was even thinking, was Li Er hinting at something?
"By the way, how is your recent contact with the Ming Dynasty envoy?" Li Er asked.

Since meeting the Ming Dynasty envoy that day, he has not asked about this matter again, and now he mentioned it casually.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately regained his composure and said with a smile: "Everything is going well, but the Ming Dynasty refused to cooperate with the nobles, and the two sides are still fighting over this issue."

Li Er smiled.

This is the reason why he doesn't want to see the nobles. He wants to take advantage of everything and is too strong.

"Where is the Ministry of Industry? Has the cooperation with Daming been officially launched?" Li Er continued to ask.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said softly: "Not yet."

As soon as he heard this, the smile on Li Er's face faded. Changsun Wuji didn't need to explain, he guessed what was going on.

But he soon calmed down his inner emotions. Since he had left this matter to them in the first place, he didn't want to worry too much and let them deal with it.

Sometimes, proper delegation of power is also a kind of knowledge.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Er shook his head, with an inexplicable smile on his face again, and said, "Auxiliary machine, do you still remember what the boy from the Rifang family said that day?"

Changsun Wuji was really stunned when he heard this.

that day?

That day in the Taiji Hall, the boy from the Fang family talked a lot of nonsense. However, since it was worthy of Li Er's attention, Changsun Wuji estimated that there was only one sentence, and he immediately said: "What your Majesty said was that sentence of the Tang Dynasty in the past." Where did you go?"

Li Er nodded and said: "In the past few days, I have also reflected on myself. In the past, how difficult was it for us when the Tang Dynasty was founded?
But what kind of unruly people were we at that time?But why have we become like this in just ten years?Could it be that we are really old?

At that time, the boy from your family asked in the main hall, whether the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty could still make a living?

At first, I thought this boy was crazy, but after considering what the boy from the Fang family said later, I also wanted to ask, can I, the great Tang Dynasty, the Celestial State, the Manchu Civil and Military Dynasty, still be able to survive? "

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji shut up.

He knew that his guess was correct, and their Majesty might not be able to sit still. For a while, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He knew very well that if he couldn't keep up with Li Er at this time, even he might be abandoned.

Of course, he didn't speak rashly. This was not advisable. If he said the wrong thing, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Li Er ignored him and said to himself: "What happened to the Ming Dynasty in these years? It seems that our Tang Dynasty has not achieved anything in these years. Now our Tang Dynasty has appeasement in the north, and the country is also in good weather. It is time to prepare for a rainy day. ”

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was finally sure that his Majesty was interested in Chenla and Siam in the south.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, bowed and said, "That's true. Although that boy from the Fang family is a little crazy, he actually said something right. One generation can do its own thing.

If we can create a foundation for the Tang Dynasty in our generation, even though I am old and frail, I am still willing to go through fire and water for our Tang Dynasty. "

His attitude is very clear, Your Majesty, let's fight, I support it!
Speaking of which, Changsun Wuji is not yet a jester, let alone a powerful minister. At this moment, Changsun Wuji is more like a loyal minister who belongs to Li Er alone.

Of course, this is also his official wisdom.

Although countless historical books tell us that the role of the Prime Minister and the officials is to balance the imperial power and prevent the imperial power from becoming dominant, but during the Zhenguan period, how could it be so easy to compete with Li Er?

In addition, Changsun Wuji now does not need to organize hundreds of officials to compete with Li Er. Without him, there is also Prince Ming who is constantly competing with Li Er, which makes their burden a lot lighter.

To be honest, sometimes people like Changsun Wuji are very lucky. Having Li Chengqian outside makes many things in the court easier.

Hearing this, Li Er smiled and said, "The auxiliary machine knows my heart well!"

He was very satisfied. He called Changsun Wuji here today just to test the attitude of the civil servants.

Military generals don't have to do this. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has won many battles. The military generals of the Tang Dynasty have long been eager for a big battle to prove themselves.

Being happy after hearing the battle refers to today's generals of the Tang Dynasty.

……

On the other side, in the imperial city.

Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Lide, the supervising general, blocked Quan Wanji and others in their mansion and said with extreme dissatisfaction: "Whether you are finished or not, I don't care how you negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. The Ministry of Works and the general supervisor must communicate with the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Works and the general supervisor tomorrow."

Duan Lun was furious. In order to communicate and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Industry and General Supervisor, the two departments had been preparing for several days, but as a result, there was no progress at all in the negotiations between the two countries.

The key is that they are under a lot of pressure!

Hearing this, Zheng Xu smiled and said: "Why is Shangshu Duan so anxious? As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since the Ming Dynasty has sent a mission, it won't leave for a while, so just be patient and don't be impatient."

Although the recent negotiations with the Ming Dynasty mission were not successful, they are not in a hurry. They have not received any dividends anyway, so why are they anxious?
"Be calm and don't be impatient?" On the side, the fiery-tempered Yan Lide directly retorted, "How can you tell me how to be impatient? There is no specific time, should I do the work of being a prisoner? But once it is started, it will Can it be stopped just by saying stop?
You put it simply, just touch your upper lip and lower your lip, and then send us away with the words "be patient"?

His Majesty asked, "Why don't you, Dr. Zheng, help me to bring justice to the prisoner?" "

Although it is not as exaggerated as he said, it is not far behind.

Since the meeting between the DPRK and the DPRK, their general had already prepared exchanges and cooperation with the Ming Dynasty mission, but after waiting for so many days, there was no accurate information on the time, which made Yan Lide angry.

Zheng Xu didn't care. Anyway, the fire didn't burn to his bottom. As the saying goes, a slap on someone else's body doesn't hurt at all. He said unhappily at the moment: "What does the general mean by this? How can the negotiation between the two countries be a trivial matter?" , that is a matter of maintaining the interests and face of the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that in order to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, the interests of the Tang Dynasty are ignored?

If so, how can we have the dignity to serve as officials in this court?

Are we really unwilling to negotiate as soon as possible?Isn't it because Ming Dynasty's requirements are too harsh and have damaged the interests of Datang Dynasty, so we are arguing with them! "

Just talking about it, ten Yan Lide are no match for Zheng Xu. The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all. But don't forget, there is Duan Lun beside him. Hearing his words, he also snorted: "Doctor Zheng is so big. Official prestige, do you really think I don’t know the secret behind this?

Or do you really need me to pierce this layer of window paper so that we can have a serious discussion? "

He is not a kind person, and he still has a very good impression of Daming. Even though Daming has forced their Ministry of Industry to a dead end in the past few years, he has never complained because his skills are inferior to others.

But he would be rude to those guys like the nobles who would only hold them back.

"Why should Duan Shangshu be angry?" Seeing that Zheng Xu was speechless, Cui Shilang immediately stood up and said to smooth things over, "We have almost reached the conclusion of our negotiations with Daming. It is estimated that there will be a result soon. They are all doing things for the imperial court and are loyal to His Majesty, and I also ask Duan Shangshu and the generals to make some remarks."

When Duan Lun heard this, he snorted coldly, said no more, and left immediately with Yan Lide.

In Honglu Temple, Changsun Chong was drinking wine with Xiao Rui, Gao Xingyi and others, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Now you can be considered to have soared into the sky. In your early twenties, you are already a minister. Even we are very envious." Gao Xingyi drank a glass of wine and immediately smiled heartily. Of course, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. List.

Speaking of which, he was still Chang Sun Chong's uncle (I made some mistakes in the previous section, Gao Jixiong and Chang Sun Wuji were of the same generation.) But looking at this achievement now, it's a world of difference.

Changsun Chong is already a minister, what about him?It's just a doctor from the temple. It sounds like a doctor from the temple, but in the final analysis, isn't he just an official in the province of Shangshu?Comparing the two, it's more or less sad.

On the side, Xiao Rui also sighed: "Do you think you are like this? What is the saying in the Tang Dynasty nowadays? The eldest son is valuable, but the eldest son of the Chang'an Xungui family is the least valuable.

Look at our brothers, who is not more powerful than us outside now?
As for my Xiao Yue, he is already a feudal official?Look at me again... forget it. "

Not to mention, there are many people in Chang'an who think like him.

There was no way, everyone was reluctant to give away their eldest son, but who would have thought that this would actually help those guys.

When Changsun Chong heard this, he also smiled and said: "You two don't have to pretend in front of me, right? Even if you are complaining, you are probably looking for the wrong person, right?"

Although these two guys may sound sad, they are both from big families and their eyesight is not that shallow.

Take Xiao Rui as an example. When Xiao Yue was in power in Deyang, his Xiao family helped him make suggestions. Even today, the Xiao family still strongly supports Xiao Yue, and it is this person who presides over all this. Xiao Rui is complaining here.

"That's right. Are we complaining? It's really painful." Xiao Rui is also shameless. When he talks about this, his face doesn't turn red and his heart doesn't beat.

Changsun Chong didn't bother to argue with him. He had no choice but to be shameless.

"No, that's all you plan to talk about today?" Changsun Chong smiled.

Seeing this, Gao Xingyi was not embarrassed. He looked at Xiao Rui and said, "It's just a casual chat. If we really talk about it, this time we would like to ask Daming what his plans are in the future."

Of course they didn't come to find Changsun Chong to complain. What's there to complain about?

However, when they asked this, Changsun Chong smiled and said: "You guys still praise me too much. Even though I am now holding the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but really speaking, I really have no say in the Ming Dynasty. As for the future of the Ming Dynasty, What are your plans? Haha, people speak lightly..."

How can this be said nonsense? If you ask about something else, he might be willing to fool around a bit, but when it comes to this, sorry, not even my biological father can do it.

This is a matter of principle.

Gao Jingcheng was not disappointed. He had already prepared for this answer, and then asked: "Then what is Ming's attitude towards the nobles?"

Speaking of this, Changsun Chong smiled and said: "I, the Ming Dynasty, have the same attitude towards everyone. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will eradicate them!"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Gao Xingyi and others understood it immediately.

Just when Gao Jishi was about to speak again, Fang Yiai and others opened the door and walked in.

"Good guy, is it really lively here?" Seeing Changsun Chong and others having a drink, Fang Yiai looked at Li Jingren, Cheng Chuliang and others, shook his head, and said, "Let's go, let's go, this is a meeting between the eldest son and his eldest son. , we people don’t deserve it.”

"Fang Lao Er, after so many years, your bad words have not changed at all?" Xiao Rui said speechlessly.Fang Yiai didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, I've been relying on this mouth all my life." As he spoke, he sat down and muttered dissatisfiedly, "No, come on, brothers." Why don't you serve some new dishes? Don't call me stingy, brother, I'm here with the best wine in Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, he magically took out a jar of wine and said coquettishly, "Our eldest grandson, Shangshu, doesn't even have this wine. See, it's a special gift for the eldest princess!"

As soon as Changsun Chong saw the words "Special Offering to the Princess" on the wine jar, he shook his head and said, "Just commit suicide. You have almost stolen all the jars of wine in Changle. When she finds out, there will be You had a good life."

In the entire Ming Dynasty, Fang Yiai was probably the only one who dared to steal Changle wine, but this guy was not afraid and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I can just work for her for a few days after I go back.

When her Qingtian Yamen arrested young men, I didn't escape even once. "

When he heard that it was Changle's wine, Xiao Rui also became energetic and immediately smiled and said: "You have to try this wine. I have heard about it a long time ago. The best wine in the Ming Dynasty is the special offering of the eldest princess. I have never had the chance to taste it. Today I would like to thank our second roommate for his beautiful adult appearance."

With that said, he ordered someone to change the table of food and drinks.

The group of people is quite happy, they are all top nobles from Chang'an. Although they haven't seen each other for so many years, there is really no barrier between them.

After three drinks and five dishes, Fang Yiai said carelessly: "I heard that the Cui family has been dancing quite happily recently?"

"I advise you to be more honest these days!" Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "This is not the original Yin family."

Everyone knew what happened to the Yin family back then, but the Yin family had a way to kill themselves, so no one made a fuss about this issue.

But Fang Yiai smiled: "What do you mean by that? The Yin family? It's none of our business, but you just don't care about the Cui family's recent troubles?"

"Control? Why should we care? The nobles of this thousand-year-old family have a longer history than my Xiao family." Xiao Rui also said helplessly. At this point, he changed the topic again, "But you really need to clean them up. If so, don’t tell me, do I really know a way?”

"Well, what way?" Speaking of this, Fang Yiai and others became interested.

"Do you know Du Chuke? He is Du He's uncle." Xiao Rui chuckled softly, "The long history of the Yue Prince's Palace."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this name.

Of course Du Chuke and the others knew about it, Du Ruhui's younger brother.

But Prince Yue’s Mansion has nothing to do with Daming, so we can’t let them deal with this guy, right?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "This person has been depressed recently. I heard that he supported the King of Yue in his attempt to seize the throne, but the King of Yue didn't take it seriously and seemed to have reprimanded them."

This matter is more interesting to talk about. In history, Du Chuke was indeed dismissed from office because he supported Li Tai to seize the throne.

Although he and Du He came from the same family, under the circumstances at that time, the two Du families were not supporting the same person.

Of course, it can only be said that they were unlucky. The two people they supported failed in the end. No one expected that the youngest Li Zhi would pick the peach.

"Do you want us to win over Du Chuke?" Cheng Chuliang asked with some confusion.

Xiao Rui didn't answer, just smiled and said, "I heard that he has been very close to Zheng Xu and others recently."

The implication is that if you don't win over them, they will take them away.

Cheng Chuliang and others were speechless for a moment and fell into silence.

Indeed, with Du He's relationship, it is not impossible to win over Du Chuke.

But the problem is that they also had a relationship with Du He before, but Du Chuke still chose Yue Wangfu, which is very thought-provoking.

Of course, they all kept this in mind.

After drinking and eating, Xiao Rui and others left, but Changsun Chong summoned everyone in the delegation.

"In the past few days, the Tang Dynasty has been pressing us step by step. There has been almost no progress in the negotiations between the two countries. We cannot continue like this. Don't forget the purpose of our trip." Changsun Chongjian Everyone was here, so he spoke bluntly.

Plebobo said with some embarrassment: "Well, as you all know, I am just a make-up. To be honest, I should be in the ranks of military generals. Who knows how I ended up in the civilian ranks?

Anyway, if you need my help if you need anything, just say hello. "

He is indeed a little embarrassed. He was obviously a military general, but suddenly became a civil servant. Who do you want him to talk to for reasoning?

"Really speaking, it is not a bad thing for us that the Tang Dynasty drags on the talks between the two countries. It is just delaying our time." On the side, Wang Dequan said, "Since we are showing the strength of the Ming Dynasty this time, then since the Tang Dynasty If the Tang official is not willing, why don’t we take the private road?”

"But didn't the Cui family and others bring together all Chang'an merchants and prohibit cooperation with our Daming store?" Cheng Chuliang said with some confusion.

When Wang Dequan heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not that simple. They are only trying to win over the reputable people in Chang'an City, but are there only so many merchants in Chang'an?

Not to mention the Hu businessmen in the West Market, there are also many small businessmen, right?They don't like these people, and naturally they won't win over them. Why don't we make a fuss about this?

Combining powerful forces to achieve something is not a great feat, but if we can make a down-and-out businessman rise to the top, that will really impress people.

Don’t forget, His Highness did this back then. "

How many merchants are there in Chang'an?
After all, the gentry can win over only a few people. Of course, this is why they look down on those small families.

But they forgot that they suffered losses from small households back then.

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.

"Wang Shilang, do you have any recommendations?" Changsun Chong asked immediately.

"I have paid attention to a few families over the years." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "For example, the Xu family who makes wine in the south of the city, the Wu family who makes silk and satin, the Feng family who makes groceries in the east of the city, and the Zhou family who burns kilns outside the city.

These are all small and small families who have no reputation in Chang'an City. I have also sent people to investigate their background. At least for dozens of generations, they are fine. They are not on the same level as the other scholars.

If we can support them, we will definitely surprise many people. "

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded. Not to mention, it was indeed true.

"Just how to do it?" someone asked doubtfully.

When Fang Yiai heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "I really don't know about other things, but if it's the Feng family that makes groceries, do I really have an idea?"

"Well, what do you think?" Changsun Chong asked.

"Hey, I saw a blueprint in His Highness's study before. It was a large grocery store planned by His Highness. When I saw the blueprint, I was shocked. I couldn't believe that there was such a shop in the world."

"Let's get to the point..." Everyone couldn't help but urge.

Fang Yiai coughed awkwardly and continued: "That grocery store contains everything. His Highness said, as long as you can think of it, the grocery store has it!

I asked His Highness at that time, when will this grocery store be built?
His Highness said at that time that the Ming Dynasty did not yet have such conditions. He said that this thing would require at least a large city with a population of several hundred thousand people to support it. However, once it opens, this grocery store will be a super killer that makes a lot of money every day!
Look, isn't this built in Chang'an City? "

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard what he said.

Just listening, and Fang Yiai's description was only average, I really couldn't tell anything, but since their highness said so, it means that this thing is very interesting!

You know, how high is their Highness's vision?
"Are you targeting His Highness again?" Li Jingren said angrily.

"What are you talking about? Your Highness asked me if I wanted the drawings at that time. He said that he would make me a rich man in the future. Do you think His Highness is as petty as you?" Fang Yiai said angrily.

Changsun Chong ignored the quarrel between them and said, "Don't talk so much. Do you have the drawings here?"

Hearing this, Fang Yiai shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "What do I want with that thing? Being a rich man is not my pursuit!"

"Then what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Jingren struck again.

Seeing that these two unofficial people were about to start again, Changsun Chong said: "Cheng Laoer, send someone back to Riyue Mountain quickly to find His Highness to get the drawings. Li Laoer and Fang Laoer are looking for a shop in Dongcheng. Wang Shilang Make an appointment with the Feng family. Speaking of which, my name as Ming Dynasty has not shined in Chang'an for some days."

Since it was Li Chengqian's plan, Changsun Chong didn't doubt it, and there was nothing to doubt it.

Since you've come here, if you don't do something to achieve results, wouldn't it be in vain?
"What about our Ministry of Works and those who will come as supervisors?" Plebobo asked.

Speaking of this, Chang Sun clashed with a smile and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty wants to leave us alone, let them continue. In this way, Wang Shilang, how much more food can Changming Company mobilize?"

"If we mobilize it now, it will be about [-] yuan. If we give some time to raise one or two, it will not be a problem to mobilize another [-] yuan." Wang Dequan said with a smile.

Changsun Chong and others were stunned for a moment when they heard this. They didn't expect Changming Company to have such a rich fortune in Chang'an?However, after hearing this, Changsun Chong looked at Plebobo and smiled: "Your task is indeed arduous."

"Just make arrangements." When Pulebobo heard this, he was also a little nervous. He said it was very difficult and it would definitely not be easy!

Changsun Chong said with a smile: "Spend money, just spend it. Starting from tomorrow, spend a lot of money in Chang'an and outside Chang'an City, buy workshops, buy raw materials, just one word, spend! As long as the price is not outrageous, There’s no need to talk about the price! Remember, we have money and we don’t care about that.”

"Damn it, this job is quite difficult!" Fang Yiai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said hurriedly, "How about I go help Pulebobo? I'm afraid he won't know how to spend it!"

This job is so comfortable, and he can show off as much as possible when he goes out. He is really attracted by it.

Plebobo said angrily: "I don't know anything else, but I don't know how to spend money? Who do you look down on, you?"

Changsun Chong was also speechless and said hurriedly: "Your affairs are also important. After all, who are the people living in Dongcheng? It's not like you don't know that some shops will be sold by others if you don't move out those of you?

Of course, when buying a shop, you can also be more generous. As long as the price is right, you can just wave your hand.

In fact, up to now, the most important thing for me is money. "

Although this is pretentious, it is undoubtedly true.

Although today's Ming Dynasty is still copper-based, banknotes are already very popular in Ming Dynasty.

As long as its own economy does not collapse, Ming Dynasty is really not short of money.

However, this is also supported by Ming's own business environment.

　Seven thousand words are too small to be respectful!Huh, you still look down on my updates, have you forgotten that this prince was a great person in Japan back then!
