The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

Changsun Wuji is very knowledgeable and has read many scriptures. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich in learning.

Faced with Du He's practice of focusing on interests in everything and taking interests as the criterion, he must be upset.

As for Changsun Wuji, he seems to have forgotten that his family also competed for interests in the mall and gained huge returns.

No one can do without interests.

When others talk about interests, they feel ashamed and dismiss them, but who can do without interests?

Ha ha!

"My lord grandson, slap your face to make yourself fat! If you don't talk about national interests, what are you talking about? The vassal states don't pay tribute every year.

The money from the empire?Want to get the protection of the empire without paying, there is such a good thing in the world.

Don't think it's shameful to fight for profit, don't your families don't need money, why do you have so many properties?

Is it appropriate for you, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, to discuss with this official the interests that cannot be disputed?On the contrary, this official thinks that you are not suitable to be the Minister of the Household Department.

How can a person who can't fight for the interests of the country be a good family?Always open your mouth, don't want this,

No, it must reflect the demeanor of a great country. Can you show demeanor with bare buttocks?There is a lot of money in hand to throw out,

But not on the common people, is it useful to spread it on those foreigners?

Remember, what you eat, wear, and use are all given by the people of the empire, not by that foreign country.

If an important minister of a country does not fight for the interests of the country, why stay in his position? "

Du He confronted each other tit for tat.

Spray directly at Changsun Wuji, leaving him speechless.

"For a long time, the Central Plains Empire has swollen their faces to pretend to be fat. They clearly cannot make ends meet, but they still have to pretend to be forceful and noble.

Is this interesting?

During the former dynasty, all nations came to court, and all nations worshiped indifferently!It looks so beautiful and great.

Don't everyone know that Yang Guang finally told those vassal states not to come, why did they not come?

Because there is no money in the court to give rewards.That has to change, empire is not a charity,

Not everyone can run to the empire to get rewards.The value of the items rewarded to the vassal states can only be tribute items,

One percent or one thousandth of the value cannot be higher, otherwise, the empire will be dragged down sooner or later.

This is my suggestion, and I hope that Your Majesty and ministers will consider it carefully. "

Du He gave the reason again.

All of a sudden, several important ministers stopped chewing.

Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng didn't react violently because they had a foreshadowing, while the other important ministers looked shocked.

Changsun Wuji was bullied by Du He, so angry in his heart!

His face was as black as coal.

Countless black lines covered his face.

Chapter 135

The concepts of the important ministers and descendants around Li Er are relatively not so backward, but, after all, they have always been influenced by traditional customs.

It is unrealistic for everyone to change all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Du He's words are good, linking the bonds between countries is an interest.

Only when the benefits come, will there be peace forever, otherwise, even if the country is unreliable, it will turn against the water at any time.

That being the case, why didn't the empire strive for greater benefits.There are so many small countries around the empire,

Tribes and vassal states, should they beg for money from the empire every year?The tribute they contributed was less than one percent of the reward from the empire.

There is indeed a problem with this matter. Over time, the empire's finances will be strained, and eventually the empire will be dragged down and the empire will be in trouble.

In that case, why can't you sign a treaty with the dependent country to stipulate the amount of tribute paid each year.Weichen thinks this method is advisable.

Don't underestimate such a small amount of money, the addition of more than a dozen dependent countries is quite a lot.

With that money, the empire can do a lot of things. "

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and suggested.

"My minister seconded Mr. Fang's suggestion, and felt that there was nothing wrong with competing for the interests of the Eastern Kingdom in terms of the contract.

Everything is for the empire, for the people, and for His Majesty, so he should be like Du He, regardless of personal reputation gains or losses. "

Wei Zheng stood up and said.

"Then dear friends, what do you say about the use of vernacular language in the contract?"

Li Er asked again.

At this point, who would object!

But what?

Once the news of signing the contract in vernacular language spreads, Du He will be impeached by the officials and even insulted by many people.

It doesn't matter to Du He, if you want to scold, just scold!

I am even more afraid of impeaching Du He. How about impeachment?

"I still have an attachment to the arms sales contract. Let's take a look, can the empire sell weapons?"

Li Er threw another bomb.

What!

Selling weapons to the East Country?

This is not in the interests of the empire!

You must know that at this time the empire still prohibits pig iron from leaving the country, especially on the grasslands, and will be severely punished if found.

"Your Majesty, I firmly oppose the sale of weapons and equipment to foreign countries, which will pose a huge threat to national security."

Wei Zheng immediately spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I also oppose the empire's sale of weapons to the Eastern Kingdom. This is not a good idea. It will really pose a threat to the empire. We can't raise the legacy of tigers."

Wang Gui stammered.

Next, several important ministers all opposed it, including Fang Xuanling, who also spoke firmly against it.

Ha ha!

"Your Majesty, my lords, you allow the subjects of your country to enter the workshop to learn how to forge weapons, but you do not allow the weapons to be exported.

What's the point?

The imperial army has just wiped out 25 Turkic cavalry and seized many old weapons.stay,

It can only be re-smelted and re-built, which takes a lot of trouble.Why not sell it to Orientals?Could it be that the gold of the Orientals,

Silver is not money. If you have money, you don’t earn it. Leave it in your hands to rot, unless your head is flooded.According to my opinion,

Even if the seized weapons are not enough, won't the workshop of the Ministry of Industry be started to build them?As long as the control is good, the quality is two grades lower,

What does it matter how many weapons are sold abroad?

Don't be afraid of wolves and tigers in the front, it is better to be sparse than to be blocked.With more such sales, the Imperial Household Department will also increase its income a lot. "

Du He opened his mouth to explain the reason.

We are all smart people, as long as there is a little bit of breaking, no one would be unwilling.

The arms business is the most profitable in the world, this is something all fools understand.

As soon as Du He's words came out, the important ministers who were originally opposed by everyone supported the sale of old weapons to the Eastern Kingdom.

But what?

This matter involves the military, and it cannot be decided immediately, so we can only discuss it tomorrow.

Li Er stamped the jade seal on the contract, as long as the contract was brought back to Dongyang Kingdom, and Dongyang Kingdom stamped the jade seal on it.

The contract will take effect.

But what?

It seems that Daro Inoue holds a power of attorney from the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom in his hand, and it will take effect as long as Daro Inoue signs it.

Daro Inoue's handwriting had already been signed.

Du He received two contracts and left one for Li Er.

"Your Majesty, my lords, I will not interfere with your business discussions, and I have left."

Doo is gone.

Out of the palace, jumped into the carriage.

Before Du He left the palace, there was a disturbance in Chang'an City.

Numerous Confucian scholars, imperial students, and officials talked about signing a contract with the Eastern Kingdom in vernacular.

Some gathered in groups of three or four, scolding Du He and the Ministry of Rites while drinking.

Too embarrassing for the empire!

How formal is it to draft a contract in vernacular.

The classical Chinese and stereotyped essays that scholars and Confucian scholars have always been proud of seem to have lost their market.

This wind cannot rise, and the vernacular is used in the signing of the national contract today.

What about after that?

Is the policy of Chaotingbu also changed to vernacular?

Once a habit is formed, the status of a scholar will not be guaranteed.

The sense of superiority of the big family does not exist.

Confucian scholars, scholars, and big families felt the danger.

A disruptive danger looms.

In Chang'an City, many families, great Confucians, officials, and imperial students were mobilized, and it was not anyone who came forward to instigate them.

They all rushed towards the palace spontaneously.

To put it bluntly, it is forcing the palace!

As long as Li Er doesn't compromise, they won't leave.

All of a sudden, the city of Chang'an was surging.

Ghosts and snake spirits from all walks of life ran out one after another, trying to feel their presence.

In the imperial study room, Li Er, who heard the news, had a dark complexion, as if a layer of black paint had been applied on his face.

"Li Junxian, the imperial guards are on combat readiness, and the troops around Chang'an City are on second-level combat readiness. If any troublemakers are found, they will be arrested immediately."

Li Er issued an order.

"According to the order!"

Li Junxian went to make arrangements immediately after receiving the order.

Li Er issued several orders in a row, sent people out of the city, and handed them over to the military chiefs.

"I've been going to deal with them a long time ago, but the country has not been very stable, so bear with it. After several years of stable development, the country is still jumping out. Do you really think I dare not take action?"

Li Er said sharply.

At this time, Li Er became a commander in chief.

Strong-willed, without hesitation.

Those big families, great Confucianists, Confucian scholars, scholars, and imperial students thought that Li Er would compromise, but they were stunned.
