Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 48 The Start of the Big Plan (2)

Although Li Xian had a smile on his face, he was actually a little bit annoyed in his heart, but it wasn't because of Lin Qi's rudeness. In fact, in Li Xian's view, Lynch was just a feather. How could he lower himself to be as knowledgeable as him? What really troubled Li Xian was his own team building. It was not a question of whether it should be done, but a question of when to start. The road to the throne was long and bumpy. It is full of dangers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a protracted war. Without the support of his team, even if Li Xian has three heads and six arms, he will never be able to make it to the end. This is an indisputable fact. Li Xian has a very clear understanding of this Originally, Li Xian planned to start this matter after a year or so, but after Lin Qi made such a fuss today, Li Xian's mind obviously changed.

When it comes to knowing people, Li Xian asks himself that he is not inferior to anyone today. This is not arrogance, but a well-founded self-confidence. Among other things, just having the memory of his previous life is enough to ensure that Li Xian can recognize all his ministers. The superiority of his ability, not to mention his rich experience in the post-World Expo, is enough to enable Li Xian to have the ability to see the essence through the appearance. With the combination of the two, Li Xian will not be able to discover talents , But then again, it is one thing to find a talent, but another thing to be able to use it for oneself, and it is precisely the existence of the latter that forces Li Xian to act cautiously.

At the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the old generals who were used to fighting were gradually gone, and there were not many successors, but the civil servants were very prosperous. In terms of talents, they can be found everywhere, not only in the court. Dai Zhide and others are all worthy of their names, even if there are many talents who are still dormant, Di Renjie, Pei Xingjian, Pei Yan, Luo Binwang, etc., they can grab a lot of them, and it is true that there are no talents available, but it is a pity The most important thing is that these talents belong to the generation of gentlemen, and they cannot be won over by Li Xian's current embarrassing status. Even if it is King Luo Bin who has already got acquainted with him, Li Xian does not dare to win over easily. He can only wait. The most appropriate timing, as for the other capable ministers, they don't have much hope, they can only walk slowly step by step, and wait for the future to act according to circumstances. After such a calculation, no one can immediately become Li Xian They don't need many great talents. Fortunately, Li Xian doesn't need the support of such talents at this time. All he needs are ordinary officials who are obedient and have small talents. The role is actually just one— — Waving the flag and shouting!
Since Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, the reign of Emperor Yonghui continued the integrity of Zhenguan. It can be said that the court was full of upright officials. Jingzong and the others are greedy and vulgar, and the result of their actions is that the whole government is gradually corrupted, and the upper class is better. As for the middle and lower class officials, they have already been corrupted. It is an indisputable fact that under such circumstances, it is not too difficult for Li Xian to win over a group of people who are waving flags and shouting. Besides, if Li Xian really took action on a large scale, he would definitely be taboo, not only the brothers would join forces to attack, even Empress Wu would definitely not allow Li Xian to act recklessly. The grasp of it became Li Xian's primary weighing factor.

The establishment of a team is not an easy task. On the contrary, team building not only requires a huge price, but also requires ample funds to operate, and more time to make overall arrangements. According to Li Xian's original plan, this matter is not urgent From the beginning, it is possible to use Li Xian's people first. Judging from Lynch's performance now, Li Xian has no choice but to start the plan ahead of time. Without him, it is only because Li Xian's personality determines that he cannot be controlled by others. Once it comes, it takes a lot of thinking about where to start.

Political matters are difficult, and ordinary people can do them, but for Li Xian, it is not a big problem. After all, he has done this job for three lifetimes, and there is actually only one thing that really bothers Li Xian—— —Money, a lot, even a lot of money!It is true that, as a prince with [-] households sealed, Li Xian is not short of money, even if he wants to live a luxurious life, he can afford it, but if he wants to do big things with such a small salary and the output of the two manors under his name, That is far from enough. Li Xian has a very clear understanding of this, and has made plans for it in his spare time, but due to various considerations, Li Xian is not in a hurry to implement it. The biggest concern There are two obstacles - one is, how to do it so as not to cause too much disturbance in the court, Li Xian doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the bullets of the officials before he has earned the money, in case if he is caught by the prince or It was Wu who later fell into trouble, and everything would be over. As for the second, where did the person in charge come from? This person must not only be proficient in financial management and business, but also be absolutely loyal. Make sure everything is safe. Obviously, with Li Xian's efforts to arrange the former, he may be able to hide the truth, but the latter will give Li Xian a headache. In Li Xian's view, there is no such person in the mansion right now, and he should even start from He Xunqi, Li Xian also felt quite at a loss.

"How's the balance in the mansion?" Li Xian pondered for a long time, his head got dizzy when he thought about it, but he couldn't find a good solution, so he couldn't help but frown, and tapped his fingers a few times unconsciously. , asked a question as if with no intention of speaking.

"This, I really don't know, why don't I go to the cashier and ask?"

When Li Xian was thinking, Gao Miao didn't dare to interrupt him, so he could only honestly stay by the side until Li Xian spoke, then hurriedly stood up and replied hesitantly.

"Well, that's fine, let's call the senior management as well." Li Xian nodded and ordered casually.

"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment, and the servants will go right away."

Li Xian always only cares about spending money and never asks about accounts. Gao Miao, who has followed Li Xian since he was a child, knows this. Now when Li Xian suddenly asked about accounts in a good manner, he was suspicious , but didn't dare to ask in detail, he hurriedly agreed, and hurried to the accountant in the front yard, and within a few moments, he led a middle-aged man in housekeeper's clothes back.

"Little Gao Tusheng kowtowed to the prince."

The accountant is not an official of the palace, but a servant of the palace. Although he is not an official, he is in charge of the affairs of such a large prince's palace. You can tell a thing or two about his plump figure. Of course, the reason why this person can take up this fat job is not only because he is a distant cousin of Gao Miao, but also because he is proficient in accounting. It's powerful, but there are some small greedy ones. Being summoned to the study suddenly, the doubts and fears in my heart are unavoidable. When I saw Li Xian who was sitting high on the head, my legs and feet immediately became weak. Without waiting for Gao Miao to speak, he ran forward and knelt down on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

"Get up, I have something to ask you."

Although Li Xian never asked about the accounts, but after experiencing the baptism of the later generations of officials, how could he not know that the account managers always have the bad habit of manipulating the accounts, but Li Xian is too lazy to care about such small money. Tusheng was so flustered that he guessed what he was worried about, but he didn't intend to point it out, so he just let out a faint sound.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, just ask your Highness, you should know everything you want to say, and you can say everything you want. I can assure you about this small one. Please rest assured, Your Highness." Gao Tusheng was flustered and said indiscriminately He answered, but his legs and feet were still limp, and he didn't dare to stand up, so he knelt on the ground.

"Well, I just want to know how much money is left in the account. Well, if the daily expenses are deducted, how much can be transferred?" Gao Tusheng didn't dare to stand up, and Li Xian didn't bother to take care of it, so he let him kneel down. He just glanced at him with a slight frown, and asked calmly.

"If you go back to Your Highness, there is actually more than 530 yuan in the account. After deducting daily expenses, the amount of money that can be transferred is only more than [-] yuan. If Your Highness is not in a hurry to wait for the money, after the summer harvest, east and west The two villages may be able to spare some money." Hearing that Li Xian only asked for the remaining money, Gao Tusheng felt a little relieved, kowtowed his head, and hurriedly answered.

"Six hundred guan?" Hearing that there was only so much money left, Li Xian couldn't help but frowned a little more, and after a murmur, he asked again: "Let's be clear, each of the East and West villages can get money." How many?"

"So that His Majesty can know that Dongzhuang can earn two hundred guan after the summer harvest, and the same amount at the end of the year. Xizhuang can only make up half of it. In total, it can make up about [-] guan. If you squeeze it, maybe [-] guan It's also possible." Seeing that Li Xian's expression was wrong, Gao Tusheng didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly replied.

"Huh? How could it be so different? Say it!"

Although Li Xian seldom goes to the East and West villages, he still knows the general situation. Although the two villages are located at the two ends of the capital, they are not much different in terms of scale, location, and manpower allocation. It is said that the output of the two villages It was twice as bad, and he couldn't help but become suspicious, so he snorted coldly.

"Ah, Your Highness, please calm down. There is no reason for this fact. Your Highness, please explain in detail." Gao Tusheng was frightened by Li Xian's voice, his body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly replied : "It is said that the output of Xizhuang is not low. As far as I know, gardens of the same size in the capital's prefectures can only produce this amount. If it is not managed properly, it may be even less. As for Dongzhuang The reason why such output can be achieved is entirely due to Deng Cheng and Deng Guanshi's good management. It is not a small lie to deceive. If His Highness does not believe it, you can send someone to visit one or two, and you can know that the small talk is true .”

"Deng Cheng?"

Li Xianyuan has only been to the East and West Villages two or three times since they were rewarded by Emperor Gaozong, and it was all three years ago. Li Xian really doesn't have much impression of who is in charge. When Li Xian heard Gao Tusheng highly praised Deng Cheng's ability, Li Xian became interested, looked sideways at Gao Miao, but didn't say much.

"Your Highness, this servant knows something about it. Deng Cheng is from Taiyuan. He was originally a scholar. Unfortunately, his family has fallen and he is unable to continue his studies. He has no choice but to do business. A few years ago, he came to Beijing to sell goods. Unfortunately, he encountered a fire disaster." , Lost both goods and property, returned home without money, entrusted someone to beg to the servant, and the servant saw that he was honest, so he handed over Dongzhuang to him for management. It has been three years, and it is really quite effective." Seeing Li Xian looked at it. Coming over, Gao Miao nodded knowingly immediately, and told the situation he knew.

Oh, it's really interesting that someone sent a pillow when I fell asleep, it's interesting, it's really interesting!When Li Xian heard Gao Miao's words, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched, revealing a playful smile.
