Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

He Yueer stared into Chen Ying's eyes, "Are you going to see the princess first?"

Chen Ying nodded.

He Yue'er shook her head and said: "I don't suggest that you go to see the princess first, but to see the crown prince first. Chen Langjun is an official of the East Palace, and he has also been promoted by His Royal Highness. If you draw a clear line with His Royal Highness at this time, then It will make people think that Chen Langjun is heartless and ungrateful, so is this really a blessing for Chen Langjun?"

Chen Ying's heart seemed to be pierced by He Yue'er's gaze, and he asked calmly: "According to what the girl said, what should Chen Ying do?"

"Go to the East Palace to pay a visit with sincerity!"

In an instant, Chen Ying understood.At this time, if Li Xiuning came forward, it might be counterproductive.Because Li Xiuning is already married as a woman, Li Yuan is also a shameless person.It's fine if Li Xiuning doesn't show up, but once she does, it will only be worse.Also, the steel mills, coal mines, and salt mines built in Lingzhou are too profitable.Chen Ying couldn't eat it all by himself.

For example, the blast furnace in Qingshuigou can theoretically produce 580 catties a day. Even if it does not reach the designed production capacity, it can at least reach 58 catties. Even if calculated at 60 catties, it can produce 100 million catties per year One catty of steel, you must know that in this era, a catty of steel can be sold for a hundred dollars, and the value produced is [-] guan. If the craftsman is skilled, Chen Ying can be sure that the annual output should not be less than [-] guan.If the production is expanded in the future, it is impossible to achieve [-] million sticks.

You know, Li Yuan started his army in Taiyuan and borrowed a lot of money from the Cui family and other powerful people, including about 170 million guan.Because of this sum of money, Tang Jun did not have to rely on plundering wealthy households to strengthen himself like other anti-kings since he started his army.Because of the money, Li Yuan was able to buy people's hearts, and Tang Jun could also create a reputation as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

As long as Chen Ying's layout, steel, salt and coal in Lingzhou is completed, the output value of this series will exceed 120 million guan.

People control people's wealth and army, and my heart is the emperor.

If Li Jiancheng has huge financial resources, then in future struggles, Li Jiancheng will not lose so badly.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying already knew what he did.Following He Yue'er into Chang'an, Chen Ying immediately returned to the Chen Mansion. Regardless of the exclamation of Hong Xiu, Lu Zhu, Lan Er and others, Chen Ying immediately wrote three share transfer contracts in the mansion.In this era, gift giving is still limited to money and things. Chen Ying's gift directly tied Lingzhou's property with the crown prince.One prospers all, one loses all.

Chen Ying took these three contracts and went straight to the East Palace.

"Chen Ying under the door pays homage to the Crown Princess!"

Through the bead curtain, Chen Ying couldn't see Zheng Mayin clearly.I just heard Zheng Guanyin say indifferently: "General Chen is free!"

Chen Ying handed the three share transfer contracts that Moji in his arms had just made to the eunuch who was waiting on the side.After the little eunuch took it, he passed it on to Zheng Guanyin. Seeing that it was a three-part contract, Zheng Guanyin was slightly taken aback: "General Chen, what does this mean?"

Chen Yingdao: "Menxia discovered a huge iron mine in Lingzhou, as well as salt mines and coal mines. Menxia intends to develop these three mines in Lingzhou. According to Menxia's speculation, this iron mine can produce millions of catties of iron a year!"

Zheng Guanyin wanted to refuse at first, but then thought that most of the Zheng family's property is under the control of Wang Shichong, and the crown prince needs to reward his subordinates, greet them, and spend a lot of money in the East Palace.Chen Ying wanted Prince Li Jiancheng to act as his umbrella, and Zheng Guanyin could see this.

"It's good to do things with peace of mind, what's the point of doing this!" Suddenly Zheng Guanyin was taken aback: "Tell me, how much iron is produced in a year?"

Chen Yingdao: "Return to the Crown Princess, at least a million catties."

Rao Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, a wealthy and noble daughter, but she still couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.One million catties of iron is worth one hundred thousand guan.Although the Zheng family has [-] land, a large number of shops and houses, the annual income is no less than [-].However, he was quite tempted by the fact that an iron ore east palace could receive [-] guan in a year.

Zheng Guanyin's impression of Chen Ying suddenly became better: "General Chen is a caring person, and I will accept this son. His Royal Highness has been talking about the general for a long time, so go and see His Royal Highness!"

"I obey!" Chen Ying bowed and backed away.

Of course, Chen Ying was even more delighted.

Chapter 68 Unnecessary

When Chen Ying saw Li Jiancheng, he was also taken aback by Li Jiancheng's appearance.At this time, Li Jiancheng's face was sallow and bloodless, his eyes were sunken, and he was skinny.He Yueer learned that Li Jiancheng, because Li Yuan wanted to deal with Chen Ying, never calmed down the anger of the Turks, Li Jiancheng ignored Li Yuan's objection, and secretly connected with the pro-prince forces in the DPRK and China. The problem.

Not only did Li Jiancheng fall out with Li Yuan, but more seriously, he aroused Li Yuan's jealousy. Under the blow of Li Yuan's one-handed surrender, Li Jiancheng suffered from heart disease from then on.

But seeing Li Jiancheng's current appearance, Chen Ying secretly felt guilty.Just when Chen Ying wanted to salute Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Ying, and his four eyes met. Li Jiancheng's eyes shone with a soul-stirring light. Chen Ying thought it was his own illusion, or Li Jiancheng's Back to the light.

Li Jiancheng sat up slowly, but the eunuchs around him were not in a hurry, closing the door and serving water.While Chen Ying was stunned, Li Jiancheng slowly washed his face with a towel, and restored his original fair and rosy skin. As for Li Jiancheng's sunken eye sockets, it was also an illusion made with fish gelatin.

Li Jiancheng wiped his hands and stretched comfortably: "Well, you can't lie down. As long as you lie down for a day, your bones will be soft. If you lie down for ten and a half months, you will be useless."

When Chen Ying heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, how did you deceive the imperial physician?"

"With money, everyone has a price that suits them!" Li Jiancheng said with a faint smile, "As long as the money is enough, they will naturally be able to diagnose my stubborn illness!"

Chen Ying clicked his tongue secretly, there are really not many good people in this old Li's family.I originally thought that Li Jiancheng was a simple and honest person, who would have thought that he could also act.In fact, Li Jiancheng is not only good at acting, but also very powerful in politics.Not to mention the strong soldiers and strong horses in the Qin Palace, and there are many counselors, but on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Change, Li Shimin was still severely suppressed by Li Jiancheng, and finally had to perform a bitter trick of poisoning, almost poisoning himself to death.

"It's good that your highness is fine, but your highness has caused trouble for your highness!" Chen Ying said with a little guilty conscience: "my lowly has been framed repeatedly in Lingzhou, and now I have to ask your highness for help, please live me!"

Li Jiancheng asked if he had something to say, "What are you afraid of?"

Chen Yingdao: "The sect uses Xiangshang's head as a security. The sect has never sent anyone to assassinate Duke Lueyang, but now the Duke of Lueyang is assassinated in Gaoping, the sect will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River!"

Li Jiancheng said: "You said you didn't send someone to assassinate Li Daozong, do you have evidence?"

"Proof, there is really no such thing," Chen Ying sighed helplessly, "It would be great if my subordinates had evidence to prove their innocence. Duke, I can't allow him to live till now!"

"You, you are also a careless person!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Why are you back now? There is no imperial decree to return to Beijing privately, except to give others an excuse!"

Chen Ying pretended to be terrified and said: "I'm really scared, I'm really not afraid of the sharp swords and guns on the battlefield, but it's hard to guard against this hidden arrow."

"The three major salt lakes in Lingwu have an annual output of [-] rock salt. Don't you know how much interest is involved?" Li Jiancheng said, "Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. If they don't frame you, who else will they frame? "

Chen Ying's eyeballs almost popped out. He originally thought that he was just born out of nowhere, hindering the plan of Turks to drive away wolves and tigers, and hindering Liang Shidu's dream of unifying the world.It seems that this is not the case at all, Chen Yingdao: "Could it be that the person who framed the sect came from Chang'an?"

Li Jiancheng pointed at Chen Ying, who hated Chen Ying for being so weak: "You, I really don't know what to say about you. Do you know who owns Lingzhou?"

Chen Ying asked inexplicably, "Whose family?"

"Duke Wuling!"

Chen Ying was even more puzzled at this time.

Li Jiancheng said: "At the beginning of the previous dynasty, when the Turks invaded the frontier, Yang Jian ordered Yuan Zhou, the general of the left guard, to be the governor of Lingzhou. Yuan Zhou has been brave and courageous since he was a child, and has practiced various martial arts. The Turkic people were also very afraid of him, so Yuan Zhou set up land in Lingzhou to start a business."

The Yuan clan, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Western Wei Dynasty, actually controlled Lingzhou as its core area. Almost [-]% of the salt and iron in Lingzhou were controlled by the Yuan clan. Iron and steel plant, which violated Yuanshi's taboo.

The current head of the Yuan family is Yuan Huaijing, who had a very close relationship with Li Yuan when he was young. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Huaijing presented Li Yuan with 20 catties of fine iron and [-] guan in money, and Li Yuan named Yuan Huaijing Duke of Wuling.The official residence of Guanglu Temple is that although Guanglu Temple is not a real authority, it is equivalent to the CPPCC of later generations. At this time, Yuan Huaijing is officially the official residence of Guanglu Temple.

……

When Yuan Huaijing first bribed Liu Zhongzhi to frame Chen Ying, Li Yuan realized that the Yuan family was playing tricks inside. Even without Chen Ying's memorial, Liu Zhongzhi would not be able to live.Because Li Yuan hated Liu Zhongzhi for sitting crookedly on his buttocks.In fact, Lingzhou is really not a land of Xinna. Lingzhou has been a geomantic treasure land since ancient times. It not only produces iron, but also produces salt, salt and iron and ancient times, which can be a first-class national strategic material.

Li Yuan, as the emperor, naturally would not let the Yuan family continue to control the iron and salt in Lingzhou. Li Yuan wanted to take back the control of the salt and iron in Lingzhou.However, he didn't expect that the frame would fail once, and that the Yuan family actually assassinated Li Daozong and conspired to frame Chen Ying.

At this time, Li Yuan was really angry.

The night was dark, and it was already midnight.Li Yuan was sitting in front of the imperial seat in the imperial study, squinting his glasses and looking at the memorial, when suddenly footsteps sounded softly.Li Yuan didn't look back. In this palace, only his recent letters could come in.

In front of the Panlong Pillar in the Imperial Study Room, a faint microwave wave suddenly appeared, and a figure slowly emerged.Li Yuan was not surprised when he saw this scene.In fact, this is Li Yuan's left prison guard General Yu Yanzhang.

Yu Yanzhang is the son of Yu Juluo. In the novel "Shuo Tang Quan Zhuan", Yu Juluo, Luo Yi, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Han Qinhu are real characters, and the others are fictional.Yu Juluo was killed by Yang Guang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but Yu Juluo's son Yu Yanzhang was not punished for this, but his family property was confiscated.Li Jiancheng established the Tang Dynasty, and accidentally got Yu Yanzhang who actually made a living by butchering pigs. He felt pity for him and accepted him as the prison guard.However, Li Yuan saw that he was highly skilled and proficient in the five elements escape technique, so he promoted him to be the general of Zuojianmen.

Yu Yanzhang can not only disappear out of thin air in the weak light, but also like a fish in water in the dark night.In name, the Zuojian Gatekeeper is the imperial guard who controls the palace, but in fact the Zuojian Gateguard supervises the entire Chang'an City.At this time, the function of the Zuojian Gatekeeper is similar to that of the imperial city secretary of the Song Dynasty and Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, but the organization and ability are much worse.

Li Yuan asked indifferently: "How is the investigation going?"

Yu Yanzhang bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Yuan Clan has not changed!"

Li Yuan frowned and said, "No change?"
