Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 880 The People Behind Cheng Xuan
"Actually, I also understand you very well. You can be said to be the closest person to the emperor. Whether it is family or friendship, you are irreplaceable to the emperor, including the prince. If you want to blame the emperor, think about the current situation.

Grandpa eldest grandson, I, Cheng Xuan, am a child, underage, and the emperor is my uncle. It is not too much for the crown prince to call you uncle. I don’t understand why you uncles like to cheat me a little. child.The construction of this Jiangnan City, I have no credit but hard work.

When I wrote the letter that day, I also clearly stated that I am responsible for development, and Datang will pay for it. I will build the most magnificent city for Datang besides Chang'an, and I will build Jiangnan into Datang's granary. big taxpayer.But at that time, the emperor thought I was bragging, so he didn't agree with my memorial at all.

In the eyes of the emperor, my greatest contribution is to control the flood. As for development, I have no money in a word!Then I wrote the letter again, I will come if there is no money, the emperor just needs to give me that land as a fief, and the emperor agreed!The condition is naturally that I am self-sufficient, I don't care if the emperor asks for money, and the emperor doesn't care about me asking for money.

The emperor also agreed!Now that I have developed the city and it looks a little better, the emperor wants to pick the fruit. I paid for the money and people for this kind of fruit tree. When the fruit is ready, you can say that picking it for nothing makes no sense!So I asked for three years with the emperor's uncle, and I don't ask for much in these three years, I just need to scrape my city building money into my hands! "

The word "scratch" has something to say: "Xiaoxuan, I know you are suffering, but who made us ministers? As ministers, we naturally have to share the worries of the emperor. Naturally, we don't care about personal gains and losses, and the emperor will not treat anyone badly." A hero!" What could Changsun Wuji say, this is what they did wrong.

"There's nothing wrong with that, so I want to ask grandpa grandson, you are also the chief minister of the court now, I will tell you a number, now this is the amount of money I use in Jiangnan, what do you think I can get in exchange for this money?" The credit is due to the reward, you must know that now I am a Duke of the First Grade, my mother is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and my father is the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of reward can you make the emperor feel at ease."

Cheng Xuan whispered something in Changsun Wuji's ear, and then there was no more. Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the Cheng family would be used in Jiangnan for so many years, and what he didn't expect was that Cheng The family is really good at earning money. How he earned so much money is really an astronomical figure.

With this money, how many troops can be armed, how many people's livelihood can be solved, can... The Cheng family only used it to build a city, and now he really wants to know how this Jiangnan city is?

"To put it bluntly, if I have 5000 people, I can defend the city for half a month without defeat, even if the opponent is an army of [-]!" Changsun Wuji was even more shocked when he heard Cheng Xuan's words. Arrogant, but generally from Cheng Yaojin to Cheng Churui, they never brag about big things, and they just brag in ordinary times, never about real big things.

"With such merits, do I want to be crowned king, and I have to be a regular king! Do you think my Tang Dynasty can still be crowned king? Does the emperor allow a king to exist? He dares to crown my Cheng family and dare not take over! Therefore , Needless to say, I have only built half of Jiangnan, and the money just now is only one-third. That is to say, after the emperor takes over Jiangnan, he will have to use the two funds I quoted just now to complete the construction of Jiangnan City.

If you don't build it, everything in the early stage is useless.Also, if I want to get those money in the past three years, I have to use some extraordinary means. Although I will not attack the common people, I will attack those businessmen. As for what Jiangnan will look like after three years, it will not be me Can manage.

As for the money from my Cheng family, tell the emperor not to be afraid, I will return to Changshou, and I will use all the money to build Pingyang Village. Originally, I was not satisfied with this village when I built it, so I said at that time The money is not enough, it is definitely enough now, I can't build a city, but a Pingyang village is still possible! "

Is that fucking Jian Zhuang?You are building a castle!Of course Changsun Wuji would not say such a thing, and he is still in shock now.Cheng Xuan didn't care about that, he wanted to give Changsun Wuji some time.

"Is there no other way? It must be so?" Changsun Wuji looked at Cheng Xuan seriously and asked.

"It's really not for me to decide. You know my father's temper better than me. Although my mother doesn't usually get angry, if she really gets angry, my father and I have to stay away! And Ah, so what if the emperor really wants this Jiangnan? Whether it can develop or not depends entirely on me.

Now all the real estate in Jiangnan is mine, and I will not sell it, no one will sell it!Including those aristocratic families who will look at me when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River.The emperor took over Jiangnan, so naturally he wants to build a government office there. Sorry, there is no place for him in my Jiangnan city.Then we can only let people go outside the city to expand one! "

This is even more unhuman, and Changsun Wuji was also a little angry: "Cheng Xuan, do you think this is reasonable?"

"Don't talk to me about whether it is reasonable or not. First of all, it is reasonable for you to take back the taxes in Jiangnan. It is even more unreasonable for you to participate in it. You must know that Jiangnan was given to me as a fief. So what if I build a city in it, because That is my fief, why should the government office be built on top of my fief?
Is it true that Wang Tu is right in this world, but one thing must be confirmed, that is, the emperor must be fair and just, otherwise he will be a foolish emperor, and a foolish emperor will force the people to rebel. This is what the emperor does not want to see!What he wants to do is to be an emperor through the ages, and this emperor is not easy to do! "

Changsun Wuji found that even though he had a shrewd mind, there was really no good solution to this matter. Just as the guy at the time Cheng Churui said, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. Now this quantity really surprised him, and He believed that the Tang treasury could not afford the money, and Cheng Churui was really inseparable from the development of Jiangnan.

In the eyes of Changsun Wuji, Cheng Xuan is just a kid who was pushed out by Chu Rui, and he is nothing to be afraid of. What is really scary is Cheng Churui who has been introduced behind the scenes. He does not know that the two generations of the Cheng family are not ordinary. The little fox in front of him may be a little worse in major matters, but this small calculation is really outstanding.

And the most important point, behind Cheng Xuan is not only Cheng Churui but also an enchanting woman... Wu Meiniang!
