Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 530 Hong Qi Confluence
Manager Zhang of the mine said: "In the past, our mine only sold ore. As you know, this ore earns hard-earned money, and the shipping fee is also subsidized."

"Lang Jun, don't you know how ruthless the smelting workshops in Longyou are? You can only sell a hundred tons of ore for that price, isn't it just a beggar!"

This principal became more and more excited as he talked about it, wishing to demolish all those smelting workshops in Longyou.

Then he said proudly: "It's all right now. The envoy of Xuanwei invited Master Jian from Dashuixia to design a new smelting plant in Jinkou City. Xia Na's hydraulic hammer is much more powerful, and a pot of molten iron can produce several tons of steel!"

"Now we, Tuyuhun, are proud. Jinkou City will build a blacksmith workshop and a weapon workshop. The price of our ore will definitely crush the ironware in Longyou!"

Mr. Zhang, who drank too much, has already started to think about the future, as if he saw the days when Jinkou City made a lot of money.

Director Zhang was already a little drunk, he pulled Fifth Yuan and said: "If this ore is not directly transported to Longyou, there must be more short-distance transportation between factories, and Mr. Lang can definitely do this loading and unloading business!"

Fifth Yuan also felt that Jinkou City had its own chance, but the altitude sickness was really uncomfortable.

Just as Fifth Yuan was still debating whether to stay in Jinkou City for development, Yunniang had already received Wang Xue's reply letter from the post office.

In fact, Yunniang is also very puzzled, why the communication is so fast since Jinkou City and Jiuquan City are thousands of miles away.

Could it be that some method of flying pigeons to pass the book was used?
Yunniang didn't know that the players in the post office just added Wang Xue's friends and sent Yunniang's letter directly to Wang Xue.

After Wang Xue saw the private chat letter sent by this player, she quickly prepared a reply letter, and then the player at the post office copied it out again and told Yun Niang to come and take it away.

Now in the entire Longyou, almost every village has a player who works in a part-time post office, and there are many post offices in other areas of Datang. Players and aborigines, and between aborigines and aborigines, can be communicated through post offices. Remote contact.

This post office system is also Li Tan's tentacles and eyes and ears. Through these post office players, Li Tan can also grasp the local dynamics.

Just when Fifth Yuan decided to devote himself to the logistics and transportation industry in Jinkou City, and when Yun Niang was investigating and preparing to build a Rhodiola pharmaceutical workshop, Fifth Qi, who was busy with the wind and dust, finally arrived in Chang'an City on a ship transporting grain. .

As the newly appointed Dojiro of the Ministry of Finance, although this position can only be regarded as the middle level in the sequence of court ministers, because Dojiro is a key position in managing the treasury of the Ministry of Finance, the appointment of this position can be said to have affected the hearts of the court.

Fifth Qi's appointment as Dozhiro was also considered an accident.

Because the emperor suddenly ordered that all important positions, including Du Zhilang, need to have local political experience before they can be awarded.

Yuan Zai, who was originally a Jinshi, was not promoted to Duzhilang because he had no experience in grassroots positions.

And because the court ministers wrote the letter, the emperor remembered his hard work and high-salt iron envoy, and finally ordered Fifth Qi to return to Chang'an City.

Duzhilang fell into Wuqi's hands, which also made the chaotic court situation blurred again.

This time Fifth Qi returned to Chang'an, a series of officials from the Eastern Palace put in a lot of effort, and the news that Fifth Qi had taken refuge in the Eastern Palace spread throughout the city of Chang'an.

For such an important position as Du Zhilang to fall into the East Palace, it means that the East Palace has gained a great advantage on the road of seizing the heir.

In the last Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, the king of Yue was naturally the one who made the most of the limelight.

But Donggong also gained a lot of benefits by offering pills.

Obtaining the title of King Hong, which has strong political significance, the prince who originally had the status of the Eastern Palace is now more justified.

Now Zhengdan is not over yet, and the threshold of the East Palace has been broken even more. Some grasshoppers who had taken refuge in King Qi are also busy turning around and worshiping at the gate of the East Palace.

Prince Li Chu was in a good mood during this time, but he was not without worries. The development of King Yue in Longyou made him more and more uneasy.

Li Chu even had an intuition that the Yue King Li Tan who nested in Longyou was even more threatening than the Qi King Li Xi who was competing for favor with him in the court.

Li Chu called Dou Shen, who once served under Fang Guan when Fang Guan was the Hexi Jiedu envoy.

When Fang Guan and Li Chu competed for Hexi, Dou Shen should know something about the king of Yue, so Li Chu called Dou Shen to question him.

Dou Shen had a bitter look on his face. Changing the horse to a mulberry was his suggestion to Fang Guan, but in the end changing the horse to a mulberry failed. The King of Yue took advantage of the situation and swallowed Hexi.

Although Dou Shen was more clever and ran away immediately when he saw the situation was not good, but it was a very taboo thing in Datang to betray his benefactor.

Dou Shen can only serve as the secretary in the East Palace now, and cannot become an official official appointed by the imperial court. It is also because of the stain of betrayal that he cannot get an official position in the imperial court.

Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, Dou Shen can be awarded an official position because of Conglong Zhigong, this matter will become a stain in his life, and he will be repeatedly attacked by political opponents every time.

But now that the crown prince is his benefactor, and the crown prince wanted to ask about Longyou's situation, Dou Shen had no choice but to tell Li Chu exactly what he knew.

But how Fang Guan lost Hexi, in fact, Dou Shen, as an aide, didn't know the details.

In order to shirk his responsibility as a counselor, Dou Shen could only add fuel to the story by saying that Fang Guan was incompetent, while attributing Li Tan's occupation of Hexi to the conspiracy.

Dou Shen tried his best to attribute Fang Guan's failure to the despicableness of the enemy, highlighting his positive image.

After hearing Dou Shen finished speaking, Li Chu groped his chin and said;

"That is to say, the reason Fang Xiang lost the Hexi Jiedu envoy was entirely because of my good brother's conspiracy?"

Dou Shen nodded quickly and said, "If it wasn't for the King of Yue who incited the mob in Hexi to rebel and change the horse into a mulberry, how could such a two-dimensional policy have caused anger and resentment in Hexi?"

Li Chu nodded, apparently believing what Dou Shen said.

The loyal younger brother who grew up with him also used tricks and tricks when he went to Longyou.

While Li Chu lamented that people's hearts are not old, seizing his wife turned the pure-minded "brother" into a villain who used conspiracy and tricks.

He completely forgot that he mobilized his subordinates in Lingwu to separate the emperor from Li Tan and his son, and colluded with the Uighurs to attack Li Tan who had just entered Longyou.

Li Chu squeezed out two tears and said: "I didn't expect my younger brother to do such things as incite the mob in order to fight for the throne. It's a pity that you don't have any evidence, otherwise the lonely king will definitely participate in the Yue king for Chao Gangji!"

Dou Shen also quickly knelt down and cried: "The war was urgent back then, and His Highness was not in the court. If His Highness had spoken out righteously at that time, the prime minister would not have ended up like this!"

Dou Shen's flattery put Li Chu in a good mood.

It seems that this good brother of mine is able to gain a foothold in Longyou, relying on political tactics, so naturally it is nothing to worry about.

In terms of power tactics, Li Tan is a younger brother.

Li Chu played power tricks several years earlier than Li Tan, and Li Tan was far away in Longyou, even if the Zhengdan Dynasty would present the almanac, it left a good impression on the father.

But the court situation in Chang'an changed too fast. How could King Yue, who was far away in Longyou, play tricks in Chang'an City?

Even if the Governor's Mansion is left in the backyard, can Li Tan still command remotely?
It was because Li Tan was well-prepared that the Zhengdan Dynasty would present the almanac to the king of Yue, which earned him the favor of his father.

Now that the king of Yue wants to participate in the seizure of the heir, there will be no such good opportunity next time.

And this time the king of Yue made a big splash, which just gave Li Chu a chance.

He said to Dou Shen: "Gu Wang heard that you had an affair with the General Fuguo?"

The general of Fuguo is Li Fuguo, and he is also the biggest force behind King Qi's seizure of the throne.

Dou Shen immediately turned pale and said: "Your Highness, Dou Shen is loyal to you, the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

Li Chu shook his head and said, "I asked you to find General Fuguo to do something."

Dou Shen didn't dare to raise his head, only heard Li Chu say: "You go to the general of Fuguo, and tell me that the crown prince wants to join forces with him, and first deal with the king of Yue together!"

Join forces to deal with King Yue?

Dou Shen raised his head and looked at Li Chu. Can King Qi agree?
I saw a smile on the prince's face and said: "The general of Fuguo is a smart man. In this situation, it is the best policy to join hands to squeeze out King Yue first."

Dou Shen came to Li Fuguo's house that day.

The great eunuchs would buy real estate outside the palace, and at the level of Li Fuguo, the emperor would also give them holidays when they were resting in Zhengdan, allowing them to go out of the palace to rest.

However, Li Fuguo seldom goes out of the palace, today is a rare day for him to go out of the palace to rest, and Dou Shen happened to come looking for him.

Seeing Dou Shen, Li Fuguo squeezed his throat and said, "Did your Highness send Dou Lang here?"

Li Fuguo and Dou Can are considered to be from the same hometown. In terms of seniority, Li Fuguo is a generation older than Dou Can. Since Dou Shen took refuge in the East Palace, he seldom interacted with Li Fuguo.

Today's sudden visit, Li Fuguo guessed that Dou Shen was under the order of the prince.

Sure enough, Dou Shen lowered his head and said: "General, Your Highness asked me to come here to propose to join hands with the General to deal with the King of Yue first."

Li Fuguo said with a smile: "Dou Lang, Your Highness is joking, shouldn't Your Highness talk to King Qi about such matters?"

Dou Shen immediately said: "His Royal Highness said that it is the general who can make the decision, not the king of Qi."

Li Fuguo immediately laughed and said: "The king of Yue asked me to kill a godson. I have to avenge this revenge. Please tell your highness Dou Lang. The miscellaneous family is willing to join hands with your highness. Let's deal with the king of Yue first."
