I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125: Fighting in the court!

After finishing speaking, Ma Yong did not forget to add: "Of course, I can get the information quickly because Mrs. Zhang is very happy. According to her, Tan Lun makes her unhappy, and I make him happy!"

Lu Zhi on the side was completely speechless.

"Where are the Zhang people?"

"at my house."

"at your home?"

"I want to protect witnesses."

Li Heng was unable to refute, so he had to say to Lu Zhi: "Please Shiying rewrite this report."

"Here."

Li Heng added: "This information is very valuable, but it cannot prove that Tan Lun bewitched Mr. Zhang, because you have no evidence, and Mr. Zhang came forward to testify, and it is even more impossible to take down Mr. Tan Lun. Do you know the reason?"

"The lower official knows the reason. Dan Lun is the son of a young official, and Zhang is just the wife of a local official. How can the son of a local official find a local official's wife?"

"so……"

Before Li Heng finished speaking, Ma Yong took out a piece of jade and said, "So the official got this."

"What is this?"

"It's the jade pendant that Tan Lun left with Zhang."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well done!"

"Mr. Li, I suspect that Sun Le takes advantage of his position and often steals some papers, takes them home, and then transfers them to some dignitaries from his wife to make profits from them."

"how do I say this?"

"Because Mrs. Zhang told me how she got to know Dan Lun. Mrs. Zhang went to deliver paper and then got involved with Dan Lun. It is said that she sent a lot of paper each time, and Tan Lun should also be selling it and making profits from it. "

At this time, Xue Liang hurried in and said, "Mr. Li, the people from the palace are here."

"In the palace?" Li Heng smiled, as expected, "It seems that the official document from the Nashang Company has aroused quite a reaction."

"Mr. Li, it's time to go to bed."

"Shiying wants me to pretend to be sick?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"There is no need to argue with them head-on. The establishment of Taifu Temple was in violation of the imperial court's guidelines, and the establishment of Nashang Division was also approved by His Majesty. In this case, there is no need to explain to them."

Li Heng said: "It doesn't matter, if I don't say anything, they think I'm easy to talk to! And now that I have this handle and a witness, if someone wants to jump in front of me, I won't be merciful."

After changing into official uniform, Li Heng hurried to the palace.

When they entered the main hall, the originally quiet main hall began to talk.

Some officials even rolled up their sleeves.

"I see your Majesty and wish your Majesty peace."

"No need to be polite, take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." The first one to stand up was Dan Cheng.

"It's okay, sir."

"I heard that the Nashang Division of Taifu Temple wants to recruit people from the private sector to make paper. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

As soon as Tan Cheng said these words, the surrounding ministers also became excited and began to echo: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

Liu Chan sat there without saying a word.

Li Heng sat below and said nothing.

"If it is given to a private person, the papermaking technology will inevitably be revealed. Once the papermaking technology is mastered by Cao Wei and Sun Wu, how can I, a big man, rely on it to make money?" Tan Cheng said, "It's like the brocade is mastered by Cao Wei and Sun Wu."

The surrounding ministers nodded again. "This is a serious matter, so please, Your Majesty, take back your order!"

Liu Chan became embarrassed.

On one side are people recommended by Zhuge Liang himself, who must not be moved.

On one side was a group of ministers, and Liu Chan could clearly see that these ministers were all famous gangsters in the dynasty.

For example, Dan Cheng and Qiao Zhou were well-known anti-Northern Expedition elements in Yizhou.

If Zhuge Liang were in Chengdu, these people would still keep a low profile.

Once Zhuge Liang went to the front line, these people started jumping up and down.

For example, Li Yan once deliberately engaged in logistics at the most critical moment for the Han army in order to oppose the Northern Expedition.

If Li Yan was the only one who opposed the Northern Expedition, how could it affect logistics?

what?
Zhuge Liang actually knows how to use the Yizhou faction?

Li Yan is one of Liu Bei's trusted ministers, and his weight is naturally extraordinary. Zhuge Liang cannot be dismissed at will if he wants to.

After Li Yan was demoted that time, the Yizhou faction became more honest.

But Zhuge Liang did not dare to drive all the Yizhou faction out of the court. After all, the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction were both in the minority, and Ji Han still needed to rely on the Yizhou family to maintain order throughout Ji Han.

All I can say is, no core positions will be given.

For example, Dan Cheng is only a young man in the palace, and he certainly cannot be a senior agricultural officer, let alone one of those official positions in the prime minister's palace.

Of course, the Yizhou faction is also divided into the rational faction and the emotional faction.

For example, Li Fu, the governor of Jiangzhou, was a rationalist.

And these people are typical emotionalists.

I don’t care, in short I am against the Northern Expedition!
When Li Heng returned from his service, he built a Taifu Temple and took away all the papermaking and weaving.

Now there is actually a need for private papermaking.

If private individuals start making paper, what else will we earn... Oh no, what else will the court earn?
Liu Chan immediately threw the blame to Li Heng and said, "Li Qing, come out."

Li Heng came out, saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better for all the princes to write a memorial and report it to the Prime Minister, and let the Prime Minister decide!"

"The Prime Minister has a lot of things to do every day, so don't cause trouble!" Dan Cheng pointed at Li Heng and said, "Today, the civil servant of Nana Merchant Company must be taken back!"

"Why is Master Tan so anxious to take back the official document?"

"Of course it's for the sake of the country and the country!" Dan Cheng clasped his fists, "I take your salary and share your worries, unlike some people who get carried away with little success and do whatever they want!"

Li Heng asked: "Aren't you worried that you have more competitors?"

"How do you say that?"

"Don't Mr. Tan's houses sell paper privately?"

"You are talking nonsense!" Dan Cheng was furious, pointing at Li Heng and said to Liu Chan, "Your Majesty! He slandered me! He slandered me!"

"Li Qing, you said that Mr. Tan's house sells paper privately. What evidence is there?"

Tan Cheng immediately said: "Produce evidence. As long as you can provide evidence, I will resign immediately! But if you cannot provide evidence, you will frame Zhongliang!"

"I know that Master Tan is in a hurry right now, but please don't be anxious yet."

Dan Cheng sneered and said, "Keep making it up!"

Li Heng ignored Tan Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, paper is indeed very valuable now. Although the output has increased, the cost of office work for the imperial court is very high, and the excess should be exchanged for food as much as possible, but I still found out. There are some people who take advantage of their positions to steal papers for their own benefit!"

As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar in the hall.

Li Heng continued: "The ministers and merchants are not really decentralized at will. It just needs more people loyal to the court to participate and increase the amount of paper production in various places as soon as possible."

"But some people are making profits privately, and may even have made it privately, but they don't want to give the profits to others. They want to control the amount of paper made, and are worried about harming their own interests!"

"I'm right, Mr. Tan."
