Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1825
In Chang'an City, almost the same story happened...

His Majesty Li Er had a gloomy face when he received Fang Jun's report.

At first, he had some complaints about Fang Jun's fuss, but he felt that Fang Jun had always been reliable in his work, so he didn't show it, but he was always a little dissatisfied in his heart.As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is important to act cheaply and adapt to changing circumstances, but it is more important to firmly grasp the strategic purpose and be unwavering!

If every leader and general can do whatever they want when leading troops to fight, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
He can bear it, others can't.

The opening of the Grand Canal has made Guanzhong's control over Jiangnan more stringent. If there is any disturbance in Jiangnan, Guanzhong will be aware of it immediately.Xiao Yu relied on the influence of the Lanling Xiao family to recruit miners in Jiangnan. How could these officials in the court not know?

At the beginning, he thought that Xiao Yu had discovered the big mine and planned to mine it privately. Some officials who had always been against him secretly began to collect information, and planned to take a serious look at Xiao Yu's book when the time came.The mountains, rivers and rivers are all state-owned, and the mineral deposits in the mountains are clearly stipulated to belong to the state. Whoever dares to mine in private, if caught, it will be a felony second only to treason!

Competing with the country for profit, do you want to die?
Then everyone discovered that this was not the case, they were actually helping Fang Jun recruit craftsmen...

As a result, Fang Jun's forcible occupation of Sado Island in the Japanese country was exposed, and a group of censors who were idle were suddenly excited!

It is said that although there have been many turmoil in the past two years, since Hou Junji's rebellion, there have not been many major events.The clans of the aristocratic families all participated in the "Eastern Datang Company" initiated by the emperor, amassing money crazily overseas, shipping out the goods one by one, and bringing back the money by the boats and boats. Decades of savings from generation to generation have made these people gradually look down on the little wealth produced by the fields...

What is a tax cut for the tenants?
The tax of hundreds of acres of land is not worth the profit of a boatload of porcelain. For the petty profit of the tax, the tenants in the village have been forced to ruin their families, and they have made themselves notorious and scolded by others. What's the matter? mean?
Even when some peasant households encountered unprepared misfortune such as illness and accidents, the aristocratic families were able to generously donate money to help them tide over the difficulties.

Ever since, the folk customs are simple and the neighbors are kind.

The vast majority of court officials are from aristocratic families, and the family has a lot of money, and those officials who like to make money are gradually restraining themselves.If he was punished by His Majesty and lost his official position because of corruption, and even implicated his family and was expelled from the "Eastern Datang Company", wouldn't it be a loss?
If you have that spirit, it is better to do a few more serious things and improve your political achievements.

Ever since, the officials are honest and clean, and the government is clear.

The so-called "courtesy is known when the granary is real, and honor and disgrace are known when there is enough food and clothing", a large amount of wealth from overseas poured into the Tang Dynasty, which actually made the temple harmonious and the construction of spiritual civilization to a higher level...

Ever since, the censors were depressed because they suddenly found that they had nothing to do.

The officials stopped committing crimes, and the powerful families stopped oppressing the people. Who do you want them to impeach?

It was under such circumstances that the news spread that Fang Jun had "not done his job properly" and forcibly occupied Sado Island in the Japanese country. The idle censors were naturally excited, and they were all gearing up to impeach Fang Jun!
It's a pity that things changed suddenly before everyone prepared the materials.

They discovered a big gold mine...

The process of doing things is very important. The so-called "it depends on people to make things happen", as long as the path is right, even if there is no good result, sometimes it is acceptable.

However, it is undeniable that if there is a good result, all your means and choices seem to be indifferent, because in the final analysis, all means and choices are just to pursue this perfect result...

This is the case with Fang Jun right now.

You say that he is not doing his job properly and messing around, you can do whatever you want, but the problem is that people have discovered a big gold mine, so all doubts and criticisms become insignificant, and even some censors who come from aristocratic families no longer care about impeaching Fang Jun. Instead, report the matter to the family as soon as possible, and ask the patriarch and elders to make a quick decision. The "Eastern Datang Company" has everyone's shares, so will this "big gold mine" be embezzled by the emperor who is open to money? .

It seems rebellious to say it, and some people look down on His Majesty Li Er, but it is entirely possible...

His Majesty the Emperor is now obsessed with revitalizing the imperial examination, trying to promote the imperial examination to the whole country, and become the only way to get an official in the Tang Dynasty, so that all the children of the poor family can participate with their talents and learning, instead of following the clan's family's expectations as in the past "Nine Ranks of Zhongzhengfa". Choose to become an official.

Educational resources are in the hands of aristocratic families. In order to monopolize politics, they are naturally unwilling to hand over the resources in their hands easily. Therefore, universal education is a must for children from poor families to have the opportunity to learn.

Vigorously promote universal education, which requires a lot of money to support, teachers, books, textbooks... everything needs money.

Huating Township has collected a large amount of commercial taxes since the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department, which has given the emperor the hope of "making a fortune". If it hadn't been for the boycott of the aristocratic families, the commercial tax has already been implemented throughout the country, instead of just being collected by the Huating Township Shipping Department. Taxes on incoming and outgoing goods . . .

The emperor needs money, so he can do anything.

When the news of the discovery of a large gold mine on Sado Island spread to the major families, the elders of these aristocratic families who were usually drinking, drinking and having fun couldn't sit still.

When we first established the navy, we all put in a lot of effort, and we haven't had much sweetness yet. What if it is really swallowed up by the emperor?
The heads of the Guanlong nobles hurriedly got together to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, before we could come up with a charter to deal with the emperor's possible "eating alone" behavior, the news from the navy came back again. There was a civil strife in Japan, the minister launched a coup, and the navy intervened brazenly under Fang Jun's command. Obtained the right to open a treaty port in the country of Wa, and can freely mine mines in the country of Wa...

One stone caused a thousand waves!

What business is the most profitable?

It's not silk, it's not porcelain, it's not tea, it's not glass, it's not even smuggled salt. Apart from coin casting, the most profitable business in the world is mining!
Even after a thousand or hundreds of years, if you want to confirm whether the other party is really a local tyrant, then you have to ask: Do you have a mine at home...

However, the mines of all dynasties are owned by the imperial court. If private possession is almost the same as treason, who would dare to seize the wealth of the royal family?At present, only the Changsun family and the Fang family rely on mines to make a fortune, but even though these two have mines, they still need to pay a lot of taxes, and the profits they get are smelted by iron factories.

Now there is a chance to own a mine...

Where is there any mood to discuss countermeasures, who the hell cares whether the emperor monopolizes the gold mine?
Even if the emperor is willing to share the profits from the gold mine, how much can there be?

Compared with a mine... there is no comparison at all!
Don't discuss it anymore, hurry up and show your abilities, and prepare to go to Japan to mine.

Then, when everyone was excitedly preparing for the miners, news came from the palace...

*****
There was just a heavy snowfall in Guanzhong two days ago, but the weather has been good for the past two years, the people’s harvests are good, they have more money in their hands, and the houses have been well repaired, but it’s not the same as before. The tragedy of the people being homeless and freezing to death.

Moreover, the kang has already spread from Lishan Farm to all directions, and it has become a magic weapon for the northern people to survive the cold winter. As long as enough branches and firewood are prepared before winter, they will not be afraid of the severe winter.

The people are not afraid of the cold, and the heavy snow seems to be full of poetic charm. His Majesty Li Er went to the other garden of Lishan to enjoy the snow and soak in the hot springs for several days. It's really gentle and tender, Li Er Majesty feels that a man's second spring is coming...

After the news of the navy came one after another, especially after the discovery of a large gold mine and the right to trade and mine in Japan, His Majesty Li Er didn't have the heart to study happy postures with the charming Xu Chongronghua, so he cleaned up immediately. Pack up and drive back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, he recruited the crown prince and Ma Zhou into the palace, showed them the memorial sent by Fang Jun, and after discussing with these two most trusted people, he issued an edict to the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, The three of Zhang Xingcheng entered the palace to play against each other.

It is nothing for the emperor to summon his ministers. Although this man sometimes has a thick face and a dark heart, he is generally a good emperor. At least he is "diligent in governing and loving the people" better than most emperors in history. However, these three Personal identity has to make people guess...

Behind Changsun Wuji are the nobles of Guanlong, Xiao Yu is the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, and Zhang Xingcheng is the spokesperson of the Shandong family in the court. These three people were summoned to the palace to play a duet, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the court.

Is the emperor going to start a war against the aristocratic family?
　For the event of the year-end ceremony, if it is convenient for everyone, please support the brothers, thank you very much.
