Chapter 1025 Thunderbolt

Several prime ministers are not in the mood to manage politics today, so they all get together.

Li Ji is Sikong, and he is a veteran minister that His Majesty relies heavily on, so no one disapproves of him sitting at the top.

Li Yifu sat on the side without saying a word, and after Shangguanyi came back, he and Xu Jingzong kept whispering.

"Those people acted too fast. After opening the city gate in the morning, countless carts poured into Chang'an City. They all went to Dongxi City, and later found that they were all cloth."

Shangguanyi felt that these people were too ruthless, "My life is not easy, so I will pull down Chaozhong, and everyone will suffer losses together, even if they lose more for it. I don't understand their thinking, why do they do this? "

Xu Jingzong looked contemptuous, "Because they feel that the world belongs to them, and there are still people who dare to show their teeth at them. Even if they lose more, they will have to teach that person a painful lesson."

Your words... are out of line!

Shangguanyi smiled dryly.

Li Yifu smiled and said: "Those people think they are gods. Who dares to stop the gods from doing things? But this time they were cleaned up. I wish I could kill that person."

—Jia Pingan, be careful!

Xu Jingzong scolded: "Those low dog slaves, dare?"

Shangguan Yi stroked his beard, "Those aristocratic families... will only do so if they have suffered heavy losses."

Li Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "This time they are heartbroken."

"Impossible." Xu Jingzong thought it was too early!

"Master!" Li Ji's side officials came.

"how?"

Li Ji, who had been pretending to be a Bodhisattva, couldn't sit still anymore.

The official said: "Master, just before, Zhao Guogong suddenly found a group of Tubo merchants and sold them cloth at a price of 60%."

Li Yifu clenched his hand, not caring about the broken beard, and said in surprise: "Forty percent is paid, sixty percent is bought, and the net profit is 20 percent. Those people are going crazy!"

Shangguanyi frowned, "But this is an enemy!"

Li Ji shook his head, "Xiao Jia won't do that."

Li Yifu questioned: "It is bitter cold in Tubo, and with the cloth from the Tang Dynasty, it will be like a tiger with wings added."

Xu Jingzong said firmly: "Xiao Jia won't do that."

Li Yifu smiled, "Are you so sure?"

Xu Jingzong nodded, "This old man brought him from Huazhou. What I have seen over the years... He has always been the only one who deceived people. I have never seen anyone who can deceive him."

"What Xu Xiang said is not bad."

Wang Zhongliang came outside the door.

"Your Majesty ordered us to report."

The prime ministers sit upright.

Wang Zhongliang said: "Mr. Zhao ordered Tubo merchants to buy cloth, which is of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty."

What are the benefits?

The four prime ministers looked at Wang Zhongliang eagerly.

We actually have this day?

Wang Zhongliang couldn't do it happily, "What Zhao Guogong means is that the more Tibetans buy, the better. The more they buy, the less cloth will be produced in Tubo Kingdom. Once it is cut off..."

Li Ji's eyes turned cold, "Once it is cut off, where will the Tibetans get the raw materials for weaving again?"

Li Yifu's heart trembled, "What a cruel method!"

Xu Jingzong smiled blindly, "I know that Xiao Jia is safe, so I want to cheat him just because of Lu Dongzan? I see that Lu Dongzan vomits blood in the end."

What Xu Xiang said is very true, we are all worried that we will be tricked by Zhao Guogong one day... Wang Zhongliang said: "Your Majesty ordered us to pass a message."

"Your Majesty said that it is not easy for government soldiers to prepare their own food, grass and clothing. Now that the silver mountain is in hand, the government has a lot more money to spend. So, from today onwards, the military uniforms of the government soldiers will be provided by the court. ..."

Li Ji praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Xu Jingzong said: "This is the kindness that benefits the world."

Li Yifu smiled, "I'm afraid the soldiers will shout long live."

"Long live!"

Before the words fell, cheers came from outside.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be exempted from taxes on weekdays. As a price, they have to practice when they are not in the field, and they have to practice when they are at home. They were transferred to Chang'an in turn to defend, called Fanshang; in case of a battle, once they were recruited, they had to bring their own dry food and clothing, as well as pack horses and other supplies.

A set of equipment costs a lot of money, so the Fubing chooses families with rich financial resources. If the financial resources are equal, then choose the ones with strong strength, that is, those with high martial arts skills; if they are equal, choose the ones with more sons...

And the tax exemption is the reward. The advantages of joining the army with a lot of land at home are too great, otherwise every soldier in the army would not be able to afford a set of outfits that they need to bring.

In fact, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty at this moment can be compared with the so-called knights in the West. Hundreds of thousands of knights... Later Westerners will probably go crazy.

How much does that cost!

So when the news of the military uniform and civilian clothes spread, the soldiers were all cheering.

Each piece of equipment that must be purchased by themselves is reduced, for them, it means more savings at home.

Li Jiwen said: "Those bought cloth will be useful..."

The emperor and Jia Ping'an teamed up to make those superior people miserable...

Wang Zhongliang said: "Those people let go, let Zhao Guogong be careful of his descendants."

Li Ji suddenly got up.

Wang Zhongliang couldn't help taking a step back.

"Bitch!"

Li Ji sneered and said, "If they dare to do this... die!"

…

The empress was also furious about this matter.

"It is said to be a gentleman, but it is actually a pest."

The queen sneered: "A group of people dared to threaten the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty for their own little money."

She looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this matter should be dealt with, otherwise those people will be proud!"

Li Zhi said: "The crown prince will be after me..."

…

Jia Ping'an and the prince left Dongshi.

Li Hong felt that he had experienced a great battle today. Although there was no blood, it was soul-stirring.

"Uncle, will those people die?"

Jia Pingan said: "What else can they do?"

The crown prince thought for a while, "I've sold everything, it seems impossible."

"Lang Jun!"

Xu Xiaoyu rode up from behind and stared at the dozen or so people in front.

The dozen or so people were dressed in a 'fashionable' fashion, and the materials of their clothes were all high-quality goods.

These are all young people, the leader is wearing a brocade robe, with open arms, "Jia Pingan!"

Li Hong whispered: "Uncle, it seems that he is here to trouble you."

Jia Pingan said: "In the battle between yesterday and today, those people suffered heavy losses and their hearts were heartbroken. Some people couldn't sit still and came to seek my bad luck."

Li Hong asked: "Why don't they seek Aye's bad luck?"

Jia Pingan: "..."

Zeng Xianglin coughed loudly, "Ahem!"

Li Hong looked at Zeng Xianglin, "Is he sick?"

Once the maid next to the prince is sick, she must move away. It is impossible for this person to return to the prince's side until it is confirmed that it is completely cured and that it is not contagious.

But one radish and one pit, you left the prince, naturally the prince can't wait for you to return. Then a new servant will appear by the prince's side, trying every means to stay.

And you are unemployed and on the waiting list.

Zeng Xianglin hurriedly said: "Slaves are fine."

Li Hong said: "Aye said that the emperor should take responsibility!"

Jia Pingan coughed dryly.

Your father is a cunning man, he is best at forbearance, and then slaps his opponent to death.

As for responsibility, he is responsible for state affairs, but your father is a fool in private affairs.

Jia Pingan really wanted to make a fuss, but seeing the Prince's face begging for approval, he said against his will, "Yes!"

Prince stepped forward immediately, "Go and ask."

Wang Laoer stepped forward and said: "Your words just now were insincere, sir."

Jia Ping'an said: "The son never speaks of his father's faults."

Parents who are unbearable in the eyes of outsiders are a mountain in the eyes of children.

Don't destroy the mountain in the children's hearts, let them keep the mountain. This mountain will give them a sense of security and courage in their future lives.

Wang Er Er thought of his own child, his eyes were gentle, "Yes."

Li Hong stepped forward.

The young man squinted at him, "Who are you?"

The number of times the prince went out of the palace is very few, and he is in casual clothes when he goes out of the palace, surrounded by people. This group of young people don't know him.

Li Hong said: "Why are you blocking the road here?"

The young man smiled and said, "Jia Ping'an's nephew? Just ask that lowly dog slave. The situation was originally happy, but he made it out of control for his own selfishness."

Li Hong asked: "Is there anything out of hand?"

You deserve your loss, what is out of control? Gu optimistic about tidying up very much!

The young man sneered and said, "Originally, the price was reduced by 20% and the cloth in his hand could be sold tacitly, but Jia Pingan got into the slander, and then it fell all the way to 40%. Isn't this selfish?"

Li Hong suddenly felt that he was wrong.

Uncle, they think they are gods!

He took a deep breath, "What about the common people?"

The young man looked at him in surprise, "People? What do people have to do with us?"

Li Hong suddenly felt sad, "The common people plow the land, the common people weave, the common people join the army, and the common people... work as craftsmen. The whole world is supported by the common people."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Those young people burst into laughter, looking at Li Hong like a fool.

Xu Xiaoyu got angry, "Mr. Lang, I'll scold them."

Wang Laoer and the others looked livid.

We are also common people, but we are just pigs and dogs in your eyes.

Jia Pingan shook his head, "Let him face it by himself and see what the world is like."

This world is not black and white. There are many elements in this world. Some people keep their duties, some are ambitious, some think they are gods, and some think they are not mortal bodies.

The corners of Jia Ping'an's mouth curled up slightly.

It's just a pile of dregs.

“When I first arrived in Chang’an, I was in awe of the gentry. I thought they were the most amazing group in this era. But as time went by, I realized that I was wrong.”

Dou Dexuan listened to Jia Ping'an's words in embarrassment.

"What makes them amazing is their ability, but no matter how great their ability is, if they go in the wrong direction, it will be a disaster."

What the later person said is absolutely right, when the direction is wrong, the greater the ability, the more serious the disaster!

The young man leaned back and forth with a smile, and gasped, "What do you want to say? Who are you speaking for? Jia Pingan was also a mud leg back then, and now he climbed up by luck. Would he still speak for those mud legs?"

Li Hong looked at him and said, "Yes, I speak for them."

The young man sneered and said, "Little Huangkou, do you know how many people Jia Ping'an offended today? How many people will hate him after today? I can't do anything about him now that he has a high position and power, but what about his children and grandchildren? Even the humble For families that are not counted, most of the second generation will wither, and when that happens, who will protect his children and grandchildren?"

This is a very real threat, but it is very rare, a threat that will not happen once in decades or hundreds of years.

But today the Gentlemen issued this threat.

Li Hong knew, because they were heartbroken.

Their wishful thinking was thwarted by their uncle. They originally wanted to pass on their crisis to the people, but in the end they suffered on their own. Instead of reflecting on their own actions, they regarded the uncle who blocked their raging as an enemy.

So this is the gentry?

Li Hong has never been so sober.

He said seriously: "Guardian alone."

"Lonely..."

The young man froze for a moment.

The young people behind him were all taken aback.

"It's the prince!"

No one dares to call himself lonely, just like calling himself Zhen, that is a dead end.

Amidst the exclamation, Li Hong said: "I remember it."

He remembered the appearance of the gentry, and also remembered the appearance of these high-class people.

Jia Pingan will come right away.

The young man was at a loss, but when he saw him, he grinned and said, "Jia Ping'an, you must die!"

"I've never thought about life and death." Jia Ping'an had mixed feelings, "I just thought...the gentry still retain their character, they are rich enough, they won't compete with the people for profit, and they won't grab food from the people's bowls. But I was wrong, you not only snatched food from the people’s bowls, but also reached into the people’s homes and plundered their little money without their knowledge. You shouldn’t be called gentry.”

Jia Pingan thought for a while, "You should be called vampires! For hundreds of years, you have been sucking blood. What ancestors are famous officials, what ancestors are celebrities, but your behavior will only let me know one thing... those famous officials Celebrities have raised a group of vampires!"

He read books when he was a child, and the textbooks and history books he could come into contact with described those famous officials very positively.

Countless famous officials formed the backbone of this dynasty.

But he later found out that a person is only one person, and can only be one person.

Tiger father without dog son is just a kind of crazy dream talk.

is just a luxury.

In more cases, behind a loyal courtier, there are a group of children and grandchildren who rely on this loyal reputation to make a living.

Then these children and grandchildren continued to expand under his name, and finally became vampires.

With rare exceptions!

"The nine-rank Zhongzheng system makes you feel like a fish in water. From then on, there is no poor family in the top rank. With this name, you have waited for generations to be rich and honored, and it has continued to this day."

Jia Pingan thinks that the most ridiculous system in the world is the Jiupin Zhongzheng System.

"A group of fat-brained guys who have been rich for generations under the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system. You think it's your own good, but the reality is... it's just because you monopolize the power."

The young man blushed and shouted, "Bitch!"

Whip the whip!

Snapped!

This whip is heavy.

"ah!"

The young man covered his face and stepped back, screaming.

Those young men were furious.

"You actually..."

Da da da!

The sound of hooves was slow but firm.

Yes, I used to think that the gentry belonged to groups that could cooperate.

But I was wrong.

Jia Pingan pressed the handle of the knife with one hand.

Those young people don't retreat.

The sound of horseshoes.

Someone exclaimed, "He has murderous intentions!"

How refreshing Huang Chao killed!

Jia Ping'an pressed lightly, and the horizontal knife came out of its sheath an inch or so.

A young man screams, "He wants to kill!"

He turned and ran!

Jia Ping'an's eyes were cold.

"Run!"

A group of young people turned around and ran wildly.

Wolfs are running!

Jia Pingan suddenly understood everything.

Those who say that the gentry is the backbone of the dynasty, what they see is the ability of the gentry. But they overlooked one point. In the eyes of the gentry, there is only their own family, and there has never been a world.

The gentry originated on a large scale in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The investigation and expropriation system at that time made those officials and big landlord families form a huge interest group, and then these interest groups became a giant according to each family name.

This is in line with the direction of interest.

If so, that's all.

Nine grade Zhongzheng system is the family's great tonic, which makes their faces radiant.

Then a monopoly is formed.

Jia Ping'an has never been so enlightened.

Those who say that the nobles are the backbone, have they ever read the history books?

From the Eastern Han Dynasty when the gentry took shape, they should read the history books.

Since then, Huaxia has been going downhill.

Sliding down step by step, the yellow turban raised the flag, and then there was no chicken crowing for thousands of miles.

Where are the gentry at this time?

The Sima family established the country.

Followed by Wu Huan Hua!

At this moment, where are the gentry? !

Some of them fled to the south with the Sima family, and those who stayed in the north began to be reserved, and finally put aside their reservations and became officials.

But what's next?

Next is the changing situation, I will appear on the stage after you sing!

Emperors appear one by one.

Where is the peace?

Where are the gentry?

They are enjoying themselves in it, fishing for themselves, laughing wildly!

Then the former Sui Dynasty was established.

This is the handwriting of the Guanlongmen faction.

has nothing to do with the gentry.

They fell silent under Guan Long's sword.

Then the former Sui Dynasty fell, and the world once again fell into the flames of war.

Huaxia sank again.

Where are the gentry at this moment?

They are laughing wildly guarding their own one-acre three-point land... The more chaotic they are, the more land they can annex and absorb more hermits.

Datang was established.

What are the gentry doing?

Changsun Wuji and his gang take control of the court, and the gentry are still dormant.

Where are they?

Jia Pingan's knuckles of the hand holding the handle of the knife turned white.

What is the only thing they can do?

is confident!

It's self-respect under the influence of power!

Those gentry formed a huge power through marriage and other means. This power is too huge, and neither the former Sui nor the Tang Dynasty can do anything about it!

The late emperor, known as the first Ming emperor, had nothing to do about it!

Is such a gentry the backbone?

No!

They're vampires!

is a parasite!

Jia Pingan gently disturbed Abao.

A Bao let out a soft hiss and accelerated.

In front, a middle-aged man stands there, with his hands outstretched, his expression arrogant!

Even the emperor has to bow his head in front of the gentry, what are you?

"Jia Pingan!"

Jia Ping'an is indifferent!

"uncle!"
