I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 128 The struggle for interests between the new forces and the old aristocracy
The Zhang case in the 13th year of Jianxing seems to be just an internal official seeking power for personal gain, but upon in-depth analysis, it is actually an issue of benefit distribution brought about by the emergence of new things.

Any new valuable thing that comes out will bring huge benefits.

The distribution of benefits requires a sound system.

The relevant systems at this time are blank, and a large number of uncontrollable phenomena will inevitably occur.

Sun Le's paper theft is just the tip of the iceberg.

Next, Li Heng will also make refined salt, blue and white porcelain, sugar, and further improve the functions of the textile machine.

These all come with huge benefits.

In the face of such huge benefits, can morality restrain those powerful officials?

The improvement of productivity will promote the rapid increase of commodities and increase a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. However, if there is no reasonable system to regulate and guide it, it will only bring disaster.

There is not much time left for Li Heng. He must establish a relatively complete system as soon as possible to manage it in an orderly manner.

Secondly, due to the increase in interests, the Dahan Trading Company management model introduced by Li Heng actually violated the interests of some people.

This can be seen from the meeting in the court.

Nashangsi is inseparable from the increasing problem of wealth flow.

The hidden dignitaries do not want the flow of wealth to be controllable.

Once it is under control, the opportunity to make wealth is lost and it is left to newcomers like Li Heng to take charge.

To sum up: this is the conflict between the changes in rights caused by the wealth brought by the new forces and the rights of the old aristocracy.

That afternoon, Lan Lun took care of a beautiful maid at home. He was very diligent.

I don’t know how I took care of it, but I was sweating profusely in the winter.

They also made some strange noises, and when the greetings were coming in earnest, the door was pushed open.

A group of people filed in.

Tan Lun, who was about to spend his money wantonly, trembled all over and collapsed on the spot in fear.

"Who are you!" Dan Lun roared angrily, "How dare you create a private residence for the young master!"

The woman below was so frightened that she quickly shrank aside.

Also jumped.

"We were ordered to capture you!"

"Who are you? Do you know who I am?" Dan Lun shouted while lifting his pants, "Whose order do you follow! Who dares to take me!"

"This is Yang Xi, the chief registrar of the Prime Minister's Mansion! On the order of Jiang Changshi, I'm here to get you!"

When he heard that he was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dan Lun became even softer on the spot: "What crime am I guilty of?"

Yang Xi ignored Dan Lun and just waved his hand. The people around him dragged Dan Lun up.

"Father!" Dan Lun shouted nervously, "Father, save me!"

After being dragged out, Dan Cheng looked at Yang Xi with a gloomy face and said, "Wen Ran, must it be like this?"

"Young Master Tan, you know that when a prime minister governs a country, he should not avoid being noble!"

Tan Cheng was immediately speechless.

Dan Lun was taken away and interrogated by Jiang Wan himself.

This incident had a huge impact and spread among Chengdu's upper class circles that day.

After Li Heng left the palace, he went straight to Ma Yong's residence.

There were also cursing voices coming from inside: "Didn't I take good care of you? You heartless! Who was louder at that time!"

Li Heng walked in and saw a good-looking woman pulling Ma Yong's clothes and spitting on Ma Yong's face.

When Ma Yong saw Li Heng coming, he quickly said as if he was seeing a savior: "Mr. Li! Save me!"

"I count to three!" The pretty woman pulled Ma Yong.

"Mr. Li! Save me!"

As soon as Li Heng saw this posture, he knew that the woman was undoubtedly Zhang. He immediately stopped and waved his hand to signal the surrounding guards to come forward.

Guard, you look at me and I look at you, and step forward bravely.

"Who are you!" Zhang yelled angrily. "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Industry." Li Heng stood behind the crowd and shouted loudly.

Although Zhang didn't know what kind of official the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was, he was definitely not a minor official, so he restrained himself a lot.

Looking at Li Hengsi's elegant and handsome appearance in the crowd, his face lit up, he stopped his previous behavior, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, what's the matter with you?"

Li Heng's whole body trembled, he took two steps back and asked, "Are you Mrs. Zhang, Sun Le's wife?"

"It's the slave family."

"That's good, come with us."

"where to?"

Li Heng said seriously: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mrs. Zhang smiled lightly, winked at Li Heng, and said softly: "Why don't you go to Lang Jun's house?"

Li Heng took two more steps back and said coldly: "Bold! Take it away!"

Those guards captured Zhang, but Zhang looked at Li Heng: "Mr. Lang, the Prime Minister's Palace is not bad."

Ma Yong walked to Li Heng as if he were receiving an amnesty and said, "Mr. Li, fortunately you came at the right time."

"What?" Li Heng looked at Ma Yong with a smile on his lips, "Didn't you say you are very good at it?"

"No, this woman plays too many tricks, I..."

"Okay!" Li Heng said, "Be careful in the future."

"Here."

Li Heng patted his shoulder and said with a faint smile: "You did a good job this time. I saw you right."

In the evening, Sun Le was also taken to the Prime Minister's Mansion for interrogation.

Ji Han's political structure is to emphasize external affairs and neglect domestic affairs.

The so-called emphasis on external affairs and underestimation of internal affairs means that the inner court has little power and the outer court has great power.

For example, Shangshu Ling and Shizhong were officials of the inner dynasty and took orders directly from the emperor.

The prime minister is a foreign official.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the prime minister could open his own government and have his own subordinate officials, who reported directly to the prime minister.

Shangshu and Shizhong were created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to strengthen the imperial power.

Ji Han is special. The actual person in power of Ji Han is Zhuge Liang.

In other words, the Prime Minister's Office is the center of government orders.

And because Zhuge Liang was on the front line, many large and small affairs in the rear were left to the Prime Minister Jiang Wan to handle.

If there is something important, hurry up and get to Guanzhong.

This side shows that if something happens in the capital, there are still important people who can control the situation.

This made Li Heng very relieved.

As for the interrogation, Li Heng did not participate.

In the evening, he returned home and entertained several important people for dinner.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Zhi said: "Mr. Li, I'm afraid today's matter will not end here."

"How to say?"

"Your father is a doctor. You don't have a deep foundation in the court, but you control the most profitable government office in the court."

Li Heng nodded, agreeing with what Lu Zhi said.

He was not wrong about Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi is a talented person with great foresight.

"Countless pairs of eyes are staring at us." Lu Zhi continued.

Ma Yong said, "Mr. Li has the respect of the Prime Minister. Are you still afraid of this?"

"The Prime Minister needs to unite all those who can be united and will not favor anyone." Lu Zhi said, "If there is a villain who interferes, the Prime Minister has no evidence and will not rashly protect Gong Li."

"Then how will the Prime Minister's Office handle today's matter?"
