Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Collusion?

At the moment when Zheng Hong pulled his horse and turned around, I couldn't even see his inner thoughts from his expression.He didn't have the royal air of the new Khan, he was as kind as ever, and he smiled at Qin Yu and me before leaving, as if he had really entrusted his affairs in front of all the civil and military officials.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, this is the principle of my friendship, including Zheng Hong, the relationship with me is only limited.Of course, Qin Yu and Cheng Chu were not included. Teachers, students, and friends cannot be treated uniformly.It seems that Lan Ling's evaluation is right, it is very difficult to gain my trust, and in the era of simple and simple folk customs, it is really rare to see such a hypocrite.

For me, this is already an improvement. If I go back to the time when I was surrounded by countless friends in the modern city, I can do it on the wine table and on the poker field, and it is not uncommon to borrow a small amount of money from each other. This is just for others to see. That's all, there is no one who can really be treated as a so-called brother, not a single one.

In this regard, Qin Yu is just the opposite. If you don't go on the road, you don't make friends. Once you make friends, you will be honest with others and never hide.It's not like my ghosts, gods and monsters are all hooked shoulders and call each other brothers, friends from all corners of the world are friends.

I have my intentions, Qin Yu has Qin Yu's principles, and different ideas do not affect the candid communication between teachers and students.Most things can be said to Lan Ling, because she is my mother-in-law; most things can be said to Qin Yu, because I trust him; all things... I can communicate with the clay statues of gods and Buddhas in the temple. The first three feet have the real comment of the gods.

After the ostentation was over, Qin Yu tacitly invited me to go to a street wine shop to talk.Some things have to wait for Zheng Hong to leave before I can elaborate. At least I don’t want to put my worries on the table. Qin Yu knows me best about this.

"Fear for five years." This is my initial expectation for Zheng Hongshou's suppression of the rebellion, and it is also the most reassuring period.But what about five years from now?I was considering whether to say this in front of Qin Yu.

"At least five years." Qin Yu put aside the window of the wine shop and looked towards the north. "This trip is difficult. Just integrating the southern tribe is not an easy task. The water is beautiful and the grass is plentiful. No one is willing to go deep into the bitter cold land of the extreme north to conquer. What's more, most of the Turks in the Northwest participated in the land reclamation, and they have already made a lot of money. It doesn't matter whether they shoot bows or arrows, it doesn't matter if they get on the horse or not."

I understand that this is just Qin Yu's cold joke.Even if they were involved in land reclamation, the Turkic tribes in the Northwest are still powerful in combat, especially the coordination ability in group combat has been widely recognized. It is not for anything else that they travel thousands of miles from east to west, and they all focus on their hard-working skills.

To earn is to earn.The bungalows of the great chiefs have also looked the same. The bungalows here refer to courtyard houses with Tang-style structures, and the ethnic groups have followed the example of the leaders and started building.Now that there is arable land, stable and rich income, and no need to worry about food and grass all year round, some foreigners who got rich first resolutely gave up their nomadic traditions and settled in the surrounding areas of the wasteland.

In a chain reaction, all the foreign tribes in Longyou who had the conditions to cultivate the areas followed suit.Under the catalysis of the imperial court's encouraging and preferential policies, the large-scale land reclamation measures in various places are always unfavorable.It is said that it is the credit of cotton, a new economic crop, but it is not the case. This is just using cotton to change their living habits.I learned from Lan Ling that small-scale land reclamation movements also appeared in many areas that were not suitable for growing cotton.The nomads suddenly discovered that even if they don’t grow cotton, they can rely on a small piece of land to live comfortably, without having to graze livestock all over the world and still be hungry.

Nowadays, a strange concept has formed in most of Longyou.If you don't reclaim wasteland, you will be taken as a labor force by the reclaiming clan. Of course, this word is full of various uncertain factors.And the local administrative officials seem to let this kind of behavior go. They don't care whether there will be limited ethnic conflicts. Those who dare to pull people must be big clans, so the conflicts will soon subside.As long as a report on the increase in cotton grain production is submitted to the imperial court every year, judging from this year's harvest, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Longyou no longer need to pick up supplies from the pass.This is the achievement that local officials pursue.

Qin Yu felt a little inexplicable about these changes.Yu Guoyu's general direction is good, but as a military commander, he always makes jokes about these things. From Qin Yu's tone to the fact that he has a good impression of the rebellious gang, here they are all described as full of fat.It's as if wolves are supposed to bite people, which is justified; suddenly people quit brushing their teeth and washing their hands, and work in farming from dawn to dusk, which caught the hunters by surprise and made them dumbfounded.

This made me have a strange association.Qin Yu's support for Zheng Hong going out of the fortress is to cultivate a wolf head.In the future, can he have the opportunity to gallop outside the Great Wall to hunt and kill prey?Shake your head quickly, people like me who have read too many fantasy novels are always so boring.Thinking blindly.

"I don't know if the Zheng Hong brothers five years from now will still be as peaceful as when they left today." Qin Yu filled the wine pot towards me, "Does Brother Zihao think like the little brother?"

Laughed.I don't mention this, Qin Yu said it calmly, it seems that he has no scruples in front of me. "This is the most effective method at present. Even if Zheng Hong doesn't ask for his order, someone will bring it up. No matter what it looks like in five years, at least you are still the master of the two children of the Zheng family. Although you have the surname Ashina, you are still A native of Guanzhong."

"They are two good babies." Qin Yu nodded gratifiedly, "He was born to suffer, and he understands reason better than other children." Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled at me as a chicken thief. It is rare to see such an expression on I was really surprised to see Qin Yu's face.

Therefore, there are no honest people in the world, and it can be concluded that Qin Yu has a bright future with just this smile.I stopped my glass and stared at Qin Yu for a while, then blurted out, "How's the recent war at home?"

It was Qin Yu's turn to be dazed, and he spouted wine and laughed for a moment. Before he could wipe it off, he waved his hands and said, "A crushing defeat, a crushing defeat!"

Men always have inexplicable happy things together, and Qin Yu, who can't knock out a word with three hammers, will not be boring.It's like it's embarrassing to have a fight with your wife and get ruined, but when the brothers talk about it, it suddenly becomes entertaining again.

"That's good, that's good." Smiling, he poured wine for the two of them again, "Everyone has their own way of life, no matter what happens in five years, as long as there is a war at home. As for Brother Zheng Hong, what do you think? It's his own business, but since he accepted it, he tried every means to train the students well. Loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

To me, Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism is just a slogan, which is never out of date, but to some people it is the greatest pursuit in life, for example... It seems that there are no such noble and pure people around me, such as Yue Wu Mu.

"Who is Yue Wumu?"

"I mean Liu Rengui, let's do it!" The most annoying Lanling asked me to explain this, explain it.As soon as she asked about the operation of the bank, she started rambling about why the Cui family's bank was not standardized.She was worried about the sugarcane cough. She came in with a hot head from outside and drank a lot of water. It would be strange if she didn't cough. "This matter is not to be sloppy with you. Since the imperial court has not allowed the circulation of silver and goods, it is illegal for your bank to exchange silver for customers secretly. I will give you a greeting in advance, not to mention the unreasonable punishment later."

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism will not work in the bank first, and the products driven by profits have no other function except to bring disaster to the country and the people.If it hadn't been for the report by the fourth child, I would not have known that the bank was so bold as to engage in copper and silver exchanges in private.In the words of the fourth child: Brother-in-law, you don't care!All the idle money in the world has been exchanged for the bank, and our family has not saved any serious money for several months!

It's outrageous!You are so rich and powerful that you can just scoop up all the meat in the pot, and don’t even leave the soup for a poor family like me?It would be treason not to take me, the chief executive of the Banking Supervisory Office, seriously!

"Sit down, my husband, and listen to my concubine to tell you the whole story. Don't always make a fool of yourself and kill the master and punish the west, it's so boring." Seeing that he couldn't get over it, Lan Ling began to bribe her emotionally, "Look. Mining copper and silver, this is all the money allocated by the inner government."

"Speak with conscience! This is a tripartite agreement between the bank and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. To put it bluntly, your bank pays for policies from the imperial court. What does it have to do with the inner government? Don't make it look like everyone owes you favors from the inner government. This matter will not be tolerated!" The officials wanted me to be so stern and impartial.When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!There are no sweet potatoes to sell to me in this era, so I have to be wronged and sell some money.

"But there are more and more copper coins in the market, and the silver coins will definitely be used as coins. The bank is just making preparations in advance, and it hasn't violated the law of your bank supervisor's house!" Lan Ling couldn't hold back his face when I reprimanded him, and began to play tricks .Didn't the majestic eldest princess earn enough black-hearted money?I don't dare to settle this account. If she is allowed to go on like this, I think the treasury can move her to Li's house. I don't know who she learned from so shamelessly? "Your fourth child has been running to the bank to ask the price. Don't be shy and pretend to be an upright official. What are you talking about? It's so boring."

"What is my fourth child? Chen's fourth child!"

"Don't do it. The methods of the third wife of the Wang family have been screaming in Beijing. You are giving him face from the outside? No one dares to mess with a girl's family. It's a joke. It's not that you, a rascal, are behind the Wang family." Lan Ling She turned her face to me, and asked her to go all over the world for unreasonable things, "Okay, I won't fight with the fourth child. From now on, your bowl of water will be equal. It's normal for newcomers to leave old ones. Alas, men in the world always A lot of heartless."

This is what is called a backlash.I strangle her?I kick her to death?Law enforcement officers all over the world have their own difficulties. It is not easy to kill relatives in a righteous way. If this is done, there will be no one in the Wang family. "Take a step back, okay?"

"Lang Jun, talk about it." Lan Ling's eyes lit up, he sat cross-legged in front of me, and added plausibly: "Actually, Lang Jun also understands in his heart that since money has been banned for many years, there will always be criminals making troubles on the eve of the lifting of the ban. Those devoid of conscience got a bargain, so it's better to let the imperial court use the difference on the right path."

"You can just call me devoid of conscience, and you don't need to say that the inner government is linked to the imperial court. It's two different things. Your Li family should make money?" I really want to knock her on the head with a hammer, and let her go for such a dirty thing. The mouth is like the benefit of the common people in the world. "The Ministry of Industry has a proportion of copper and silver mining. Next month, the three provinces and six ministries will plan to coordinate the circulation of silver. Speaking of it, it is as important as the Eastern Expedition and the Western Expedition. I suggest that the inner government and the Cui family's bank also participate. , discuss together."

"Okay!" Lan Ling looked at me with satisfaction, "That's right."

"It's not over, don't be too happy. Before the new ratio of copper and silver is determined, no institution or individual is allowed to exchange illegally, including the inner government." Speaking of this reluctant lowering stance, Zhong Ken said: "From ancient times to the present, different types of currencies There are errors in the exchange. The greater the error, the more obvious the harm to the country, and it will have an irreparable negative impact on both business and people's livelihood. Why do I repeatedly emphasize the unification of the original records of the mining industry, while currency issuance requires various departments to issue Comprehensive statistics of effective data. This is not a child’s play. It is to lay a stable currency and financial foundation for our dynasty. Only in this way can the people change the traditional trading habits and know how to use legal currency to protect their own interests.”

What I have said is only theoretical empty talk.Since ancient times, currency has been an important means for a regime to maintain its rule and exploit the people at the same time. The so-called land guarantee is just a narrow concept after the exploitation is completed.But as an official of the Banking Regulatory Office, I have to say this to the end. Only by conceptualizing and rationalizing the relationship between exploitation and the exploited can the stability and prosperity of a regime be maintained.

If Lan Ling doesn't understand, I have to explain it to her. She can no longer be treated like the ancients. Now that a reasonable management mechanism has been introduced, I have to try my best to let the ruling class understand the truth. And the helpless decision to ban silver.

"Speaking of it, the bank is not allowed to exchange privately! There is always a big reason to suppress people."

"No. I just want you to understand some necessary truths." As the head of the world's largest financial institution, Lan Ling must understand the connection.Only she can understand my point of view in the shortest time.When learning new things, Lanling and I have a tacit understanding that transcends time and space. "Teaching anyone is worse than teaching you. You used to force me to teach, but now I have to force you to learn."

Lanling is a transfer station, as long as she accepts some things that are difficult for the ancients to understand, everyone seems to understand the value of it with a twist of face.This is true for mathematics, weights and measures, and the new management mechanism of agriculture and the healthy operation of banks, including the birth of the new institution of the Banking Regulatory Commission, are closely related to Lanling.But you can't be so comfortable with another person.For example, when I face Ying, my knowledge and values ​​are all invalidated, and when I face Liu Rengui, I will be labeled as an unreasonable theory and paraded through the streets.

To my surprise, besides Lan Ling, there is another person who has this ability to accept, Comrade Wang Li Yifu who stands side by side with me in the Bank Supervisor's Mansion.When sorting out the trivial financial concepts in the past, I would write some ideas on paper as materials, and it has accumulated more than a foot high over time.Without avoiding others, he bound it up and threw it on the case with peace of mind, which provided Li Yifu's colleagues with the opportunity to read it.

At first he read it as a story, and probably laughed at my unique font more than once.Of course, it also includes a lot of simplified Besko.But gradually I found that he would ask questions about some incomprehensible regulations in the records. They are all interlocking systems, and explaining them will definitely involve other systems. Sometimes I have to explain for an hour or even longer if I ask one.

After a long time, I discovered that there were dozens of records in Li Yifu's case. He didn't avoid me, so he just threw it on the table and let me browse it.Old Li has a good literary talent. It can be seen that he modeled my things in the Tang Dynasty one by one, and the records are getting more and more.The involvement is getting wider and wider, and even the gaps in my understanding can be connected in an orderly manner with the way of thinking of the Tang Dynasty. When he is uncertain, he will use special interrogative sentences to mark them, and the level is handled very carefully.

I am moved, not targeting Lao Li as a human being, just the effort spent on this booklet can feel his rigorous attitude in learning.If it doesn't make sense, if you don't understand it, you will never jump to conclusions. What you can write down is what he thinks is reasonable and feasible.In particular, there are small prints under each paragraph to make a comprehensive study notes and interpretation.The process of when, when, and where I asked for advice was recorded.Interspersed with some of his views are listed on the right side of the notes.

Not ordinary people.Li Yifu is definitely a scholar respected by the world if he didn't enter this mixed officialdom.Will not be dubbed 'human cat' notoriety.It is not easy to be so serious and persistent when dealing with learning even though it is rendered in a mess by this dye vat!

"Master Li, I plan to pass on a copy of this brochure, what do you want?" My scattered and trivial copy is shameful, but after being written by Li Yifu, it has become a standard textbook, and it just happens to be shown to Lan Ling. Saved me a lot of hard work.

Li Yifu was a little hesitant, "It's just to record the experience of asking Mr. Wang for advice. It would be ridiculous to show it out. And there are many unclear points. If Mr. Wang is to show it to others, he needs to explain the questions one by one."

Li Yifu's words are suspected of being too modest, but it gave me an inspiration. It would be great if he and I sorted out these things. His knowledge and understanding ability plus my insight...Of course, both of us know each other well. Not a good thing.

Lan Ling was a little jealous, jealous of Li Yifu.My knowledge has been carried forward by her, and this time I have moved on, and she is unwilling.

"Look at it first." Li Yifu's notes were thrown in front of her, "Are you better than others?"

Unconvinced, I opened it, looked down at ten lines at a glance, and gradually reduced the frequency of page turning, and the more I read it, the slower it became. I subconsciously pulled the pillow over to find a comfortable position and planned to read through it. I was so hungry.

"You'll read it after I'm gone." The book snatched it up, "I'm asking you something. Why do you have to tell you a lot of truths, and you do bad things while learning? As of today, the bank is still exchanging money, have you realized it? ?”

"Oh," Lan Ling lazily picked the orchid and pointed at me, "It's your third wife who complained again? It seems that your family hasn't stopped yet. Our husband and wife are of the same mind, right?"

"..." The most frightening thing in the world is not ignorance, but being invincible in doing bad things after understanding it.
