Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 396 Li is a Double-Edged Sword
After summoning Li Ji, Li Chengqian picked up Wang Shi's notebook and looked at it again. Just as he dozed off, someone came to deliver a pillow. He was worried about how to drag Wang Shi into the water. Now it's all right, and he came to the door. hehe. .
Looking at this Wang Cheng who was talking about Jinzhou's political achievements in front of his eyes, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of his elder grandson Wuji's evaluation of him. He is an outlier among the children of the aristocratic family, it is better to say that he is an authentic Shanxi businessman.

However, it has to be said that he does have some ability, aristocratic family, aloof and arrogant, regards money as dung, regards fame as floating clouds, but no matter how lofty a person is, he still has to dress and eat, so there is such a slick character like Wang Cheng The place where it comes in handy.Otherwise, based on his background in a small branch of the sect, how could he get into the "fat position" of Jinzhou Governor! .
"Yunze, I heard your name from Mr. Zhao Guogong. You know, he never praises others easily, but he is full of praise for you. He keeps saying that you are a model for the disciples of the aristocratic family. , after I arrived in Jinyang, I must get close to you. But what I didn't expect was that the guy who hadn't come called you urgently, and your greeting book arrived first."

Hehe, after laughing a few times, Wang Cheng put down the teacup in his hand, cupped his hands and replied, "Mr. Zhao praised you absurdly. How can I let the prime minister of the court value you so much? Besides, I am the one who is loyal to the emperor and serves the master." Waiting for the duty of a courtier, regardless of whether His Highness summons him or not, this book should be included."

Well, he is indeed an old man. He is so slippery that people can't find any faults. No wonder this old boy has been an official for so many years, and he can manage so many industries without being impeached. For his cautiousness, Li Chengqian gave him a particularly high regard.

"Zhongkang, look at Wang Shijun, who can do things, speak well, and is good at management. You should ask him more in the future. If you play around and cause trouble for Gu, I will send you to Yushitai to discuss life in the hands of Prime Minister Wei. !"

Of course Changsun Huan knew that the prince made it for Wang Cheng to see. Over the years, he has been in charge of the caravans in the industrial zone, and he has made many contacts with these local officials. Let’s talk about the one in front of him. He used to clear goods a lot. Make trouble for yourself.

Before the Zhenguan Dynasty, the caravans in Shanxi were always under the control of Taiyuan Wang, which was acquiesced by Emperor Wude, so Changsun Huan was grabbing food from other people's bowls, as the saying goes, colleagues are enemies.

"No, I don't want to serve that old guy Wei Zheng. He keeps on talking all day long, as if he is afraid that people will not know that he was a Taoist priest when he was young and knew how to recite scriptures. Governor Wang, what's wrong with you in the past? Don't Take it to heart, even if we don't fight, we don't know each other!"

"Master eldest grandson, please don't say that. It's also my fault for my eccentric temper. I don't care about the feelings of my colleagues. Today, I still bother His Highness the Crown Prince to be a middleman. Hey, it's a waste of time at this age!"

Seeing Changsun Huan bowing his hands to apologize, Wang Cheng hurriedly returned the salute, repeatedly saying that he dared not, and at the same time expressing his apology.

Well, a good attitude is the beginning of a good cooperation. If your plan is realized, Jinyang will become the most important trade center in the Northland. As the largest family in Taiyuan, the Wang family in Taiyuan can save a lot of money by cooperating with them. Trouble aside, it is easier to achieve its political goals.

More importantly, such huge profits and the jealousy of many people, they will unite with the defenders to criticize themselves, so it is very necessary to have a strong ally who can share the firepower.

"Okay, Yunze, you are the official of Jinyang's parents, and many of the Wang's properties are managed in your hands, and you have done a good job. Come on, give Gu a counselor, if Gu is in Jinyang, Dingxiang The opening of official cities in the two places will allow the two sides to communicate with each other, what is the prospect?"

kindness?Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wang Cheng immediately regained his spirits. The goods that are now distributed to various ministries in Mobei are either rewarded by the imperial court or secretly smuggled by the aristocratic families. The profit is objective, but It's just that the imperial court is too strict, even if I am in charge here, I don't dare to do too much, lest I can't explain it to the imperial court.

Wang Cheng was a little uncertain about what the prince meant and why he did this. Yes, the official opening ceremony can achieve the purpose of opening up sources of income. Not only can the court open up a new road to taxation, but it can also allow the family and the people to obtain income. Little benefit.

But knowing that all the tribes in Mobei are convinced, why should they provide supplies? Isn't this raising tigers?Moreover, since the imperial court acquired the land of Tuyuhun, there is no shortage of war horses, cattle and sheep, there are some in Mobei, and communicating with them is just taking off your pants and farting!
"Your Highness, the issue of the official market has been discussed by the court before. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages. I believe that since you raised it on your own initiative, you naturally know the secrets of it. Then I will talk about those things that cannot be seen.

The minister manages the Wang family's property, and has dealt with different families and caravans for many years. It is beneficial to exist, and smuggling is absolutely unstoppable. Even the salt and iron banned by the imperial court, as long as the price is reached, they will take risks. .”

Wang Cheng is frank, and he is a person who has a bottom line in doing things. He will never touch materials that are explicitly prohibited by the court. Changsun Huan has reported this point long ago.But these people are not fools, if they don't give the Turkic people some benefits, it's sweet, why should they fall into your trap.

"Yunze, of course you know what you are talking about. Therefore, once the policy of the official city is finalized, all the road cards west of Yingzhou leading to the North will be jointly managed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Integrity, so the number and scale of smuggling will be reduced. Get good control.

There will be an unlimited supply of tea, porcelain, cloth, wine, jade, etc. operated by the official market. If you wish, this official market will be jointly managed by you and Chang Sun Huan. The list of families and caravans participating in the official market will also be determined by You are jointly responsible. .”

Seeing Wang Cheng's happy face, when he got up to salute and thank you, Li Chengqian interrupted him by raising his hand, and handed him the notebook in Changsun Huan's hand, and continued: "There are no conditions, as long as you sign this document, To carry out this plan for Gu, Gu will also give you the right to manage the woolen materials in Shanxi Road, well, after you think about it carefully, Gu still needs to deal with military affairs." After making a look, he got up and left.

Seeing Wang Cheng's hesitation, Changsun Huan chuckled a few times, and then said: "Wang Shijun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not only can you make friends with the crown prince, but it can also make you feel better in the Wang family. The status has been greatly improved, so there is no hesitation!

Besides, who can tell clearly about the affairs of this world, if you have any ideas in the future and catch up with a special opportunity, His Highness will help you, right? ".
