Fu Tang

Lei You finally looked at Li Congjia aggrievedly, and Li Congjia was also a little helpless.

How could he not know that doing so would be unfair to Lei Youyou?But there is no way, Gao’s daughter’s surname is Gao, he can’t let Lei Youzhong take Gao’s daughter to fight Dali, they are a husband and wife, even if Lei Youzhong didn’t tell Gao’s daughter about the war situation, he would still treat her It's kept secret, but it's hard to guarantee that Gao's daughter will learn about the military situation from other places. What if the more important military situation is leaked?

Li Congjia also thought about detaining Gao's daughter and letting Lei Youzhong go to fight a battle, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end, but people with a discerning eye know that he is worried that Gao's daughter is a spy from Dali, and rumors may come out. Isn't that troublesome for the minister's daughter?

Therefore, the easiest way is to directly transfer Lei Youzhong away. Li Congjia reckoned that Dali had won the battle. Unless Lei Youfinal made great contributions, he would be promoted to the governor, so Li Congjia directly promoted his official position. , Even if... He was sentenced to win Dali in advance, and then let him monitor Japan, if there was a real fight with Japan, he would definitely not transfer Lei Youfinal back.

Li Congjia ignored Lei Youzhong's aggrieved gaze, looked around and found that no one objected, he was really relieved, and said bluntly: "Then it's such a happy decision."

Lei Youzhong: Wait...Your Majesty, I am not happy!

However, his opinion would not be adopted. Li Congjia simply ignored him and asked the Privy Council to start formulating strategies, and then reported it. He was going back to critique papers.

After Li Congjia left, Zhao Kuangyin kicked Lei Youzhong and said, "Okay, man of eight feet, who are you showing your tears to? Put away your horse urine! Your Majesty has a reason for doing this. Otherwise, your newlywed wife will reconcile with you immediately!"

Lei You was really wronged: "But... I just can't be reconciled."

Li Hongji patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can think about it from another angle. You have been promoted before the battle is fought. Where can you find such a good job? Even if there is something wrong with Dali, it has nothing to do with you." .”

Lei You finally sighed. It is almost impossible for Dali to have problems. Of course, you can’t talk too much. He also knows that this is preferential treatment, but...he understands the truth, but his pursuit in life is not only It's a promotion, he still wants to fight, doesn't he like the thrill of winning a battle?

These bosses don't understand his pursuit at all.

Lei You was finally unhappy, Zhao Kuangyin continued: "Okay, sooner or later there will be such a day, you have been in Lingnan for a long time, look at the frequent military transfers in the Tang Dynasty, you Du Yuhou stayed in one place for more than three years Is it?"

Lei Youzhong also knew this truth. After all, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no military general could stay in one place for a long time, but... Seeing that there was going to be a war, he was transferred away. It was really disappointing.

Li Jingda said abruptly: "Have you forgotten what His Majesty told you just now? Keep an eye on the island country opposite."

Lei Youzhong had an idea and asked: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to..."

Li Hongji shrugged his shoulders and said: "Who knows, I only know that those who are targeted by our Majesty usually either become the defeated generals of the Tang Dynasty who dare not speak up, or become the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Lei Youzhong suddenly realized, aren't Khitan and Goryeo the specific examples?He suddenly felt that this position was not bad, and he hadn't seen the sea much in his life, so he must go there to practice the navy, and he might be able to board the Dafu boat. He had also heard the rumors of the Dafu boat. It's a great ship.

Moreover, he is the governor, which is different from before. No matter how powerful he was before, he still had a superior on his head, and he was demoted to Lingnan because of a crime. Now it is different. He has full power to decide the military affairs in Yuezhou. It is not bad to think like this. .

Before he left, Lei Yousheng asked Zhao Kuangyin in a low voice, "If Your Majesty wants to fight Japan, you shouldn't transfer me before the fight, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at him with an unpredictable expression and said, "Then see if you have been transferred to other places in the past few years."

Lei You finally understood that if he did a good job and was transferred, then based on his previous familiarity with that side, there was an [-]% chance of being able to participate in the war. If he had not been transferred, then he would say no. Well, maybe it will be transferred before the fight starts, or it may be transferred after the fight is over.

But no matter what, since it's done, all Lei You can do in the end is to give thanks.

When Lei You finally left, he stopped by to pick up Gao's daughter. The expression on Gao's daughter...was intriguing.

During her stay in the palace, Gao Xi didn't talk nonsense to her, but calmly analyzed her current identity. It can be said that she is very sensitive. She needs to choose a team between Dali and Datang. Choose one between husband and father.

Gao's daughter is very entangled now, she doesn't want to give up her father and husband, and she really didn't expect that it would cause a war between the two countries.

Lei You finally noticed the hesitation of Gao's daughter, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has promoted me to an official position. Have you seen the sea?"

Gao's daughter was at a loss, what does promotion have to do with looking at the sea?She shook her head.

Lei Youfinal said: "Then I can take you to see the sea this time. I was transferred to Yuezhou as the governor. After two days, after the imperial edict comes down, your imperial order will also come down. According to my rank, you can probably Make a county king."

Gao's daughter didn't pay too much attention to grades. After all, she was comparable to a princess in Dali before. As early as the day she decided to follow Lei Youzhong, she took these external things very lightly, because she knew that even if forced It is impossible for Lei Youzhong to reach her previous living standard, but what she values ​​is Lei Youzhong, who is not afraid of suffering a little bit.

But Gao's daughter was afraid that she would harm the whole family because of herself.

She looked at Lei Youzhong and couldn't help but asked seriously: "Sanlang, I ask you a question, you must answer me truthfully."

Lei You finally put away the smile on his face and looked at her seriously: "Just ask, I will never lie to you in my life."

The daughter of the Gao family asked: "If a fight really breaks out, will my father...will he survive?"

Lei You finally thought for a while and said: "If my father-in-law doesn't fight to the end, he won't. Even if he fights to the end, he won't kill himself. Datang is actually very tolerant of surrendering generals. Come to think of it, there are quite a few ministers in the Tang court who were ministers from other countries, and they all came here after the other countries surrendered, so aren't they all doing well now?"

Gao's daughter immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, as long as you save your life."

Lei Youzhong said in a low voice: "But I can't lie to you. Other ministers in Dali can still enter the court if they are talented, but your father-in-law and your emperor may have to move to Chang'an to make a leisurely stay for a title. people."

Gao's daughter was silent for a while before she said, "That's not bad."

Lei You finally looked at her in surprise, and Gao's daughter looked at the bustling scene outside the car and said, "It's time for Dad to take a look, I used to think that Yangjuba was the most prosperous city in the world, no matter where it is, Dali is still in Lingnan, and I have never seen a bigger and better city than it, but I didn’t expect that I was a frog in the bottom of the well. I was shocked when I saw the city wall of Chang’an, and I was still shocked after entering. This is the world. The biggest city in the world, Dad has been worrying about the sheep all his life, and it's time to go to a better city to enjoy the blessing."

Lei You can finally see that what Gao's daughter said is really from the bottom of her heart, maybe she will feel this way from a relatively backward place to a developed place, anyway, Gao's daughter now feels that there is some competition in Dali What is necessary?Even in another 100 years, it will not be as good as Chang'an.

Of course, this is what Gao's daughter thought of when she heard Lei Youzhong said that she didn't need to go back, otherwise he really couldn't face the situation where her husband and father appeared on the same battlefield and were hostile to each other.

After Li Congjia returned to the palace, Shi Xueting asked, "Lei You has finally been transferred?"

Li Congjia sighed: "No way, he can't stay there no matter what."

Shi Xueting asked again: "If it's not possible, let him go, Gao's daughter stays, don't worry, I won't mind." Anyway, it's very convenient to settle accounts.

Li Congjia pushed his bald head and was very angry: "I don't mind, those tortured censors who are desperate for life may be going to make some rumors."

Speaking of which, the mouths of cultural people are quite unforgiving. Recently, the censors have not been happy in the supervision department. Well, it is very uncomfortable. The special right to submit papers has been deprived. When they go to places, they can only hug each other. As a result, the more they hug each other, the greater the pressure, but they can only protect themselves wisely.

But these people always want to find a place to vent their depression, so there is another rumor about Li Congjia on the market.

This time they directly focused on Li Congjia's body. What these people said was very cryptic, and they almost said that Li Congjia was "not good".

After all, as a normal young man, Li Congjia's harem is pitifully small, and his heirs...are not only pitiful, but also scary, just such a single seedling, if something happens...there will be no successors ah.

Fortunately, Li Congjia's previous lovers were very successful, and whether it was Gao Xi, Duan Susu, or Yelu Trigu, they all had a strong political color, so Li Congjia had to marry these women for the sake of the country. , but his argument that true love was for the late queen.

Li Congjia is also very helpless about this kind of gossip. If he doesn't want to engage in literary inquisition, he can only pretend that he didn't hear it.

Li Congjia looked at the map and said, "Dali... there shouldn't be any major problems, next..."

Shi Xueting quickly said: "Don't continue, you should first think about who to send to Dali."

Li Congjia pondered and said: "Let Yang Ye go, he is also a little depressed recently, give him a chance."

After all, he is the ancestor of the general of the Yang family, so he must be given a chance, otherwise how would the general of the Yang family become famous?After all, during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ye's performance has always been poor, not as good as Pan Meigao Huaide, and now he can't even compare with Lei Youchu, he can be regarded as a generation of famous generals anyway, it's a bit too miserable.

Shi Xueting said: "Lei Youzhong, what did you ask him to do?"

"Look at Japan." Li Congjia was afraid that Shi Xueting would not understand, and explained: "This is an ambitious country, and it is even more dangerous than Korea. It will not hurt to see more now."

Shi Xueting was silent for a while and said: "Let's change the term for the cabinet."

After all, it has only been two years since the Tang Dynasty was in good shape. If they knew that Li Congjia had set his sights on Japan again, they might be admonished with death.

Li Congjia said very calmly: "It's too simple, just tell them that I want to transfer Lei Youzhong, so I came up with an excuse to comfort him. Even if the results are achieved, but they are transferred away, they will feel uncomfortable."

Shi Xueting said: "You have a bad criminal record, I'm afraid they won't believe you."

Li Congjia blinked at him and said, "They believe it or not, but I believe it anyway."

Before Shi Xueting said anything, Chunsheng over there came to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xi is asking to see you."

When Li Congjia thought about it, he knew that Gao Xi was probably here to report to him, so he naturally wanted to let her in.

After Gao Xi came in to salute, he said, "Your Majesty can send someone to keep an eye on Shi Niang."

Li Congjia was a little surprised: "What do you suspect she will do?"

Gao Xi shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, Shi Niang has gone through so many things, and she is no longer as naive as she used to be, she is finally willing to think about it, but the decision she made after thinking about it is very important to Datang and Lei. Whether the general is good or bad is hard to say."

Li Congjia asked, "What did you tell her?"

Gao Xi said frankly: "I asked her directly if she was ready for her husband or father to lose one of them."

Li Congjia: "Are you... so straightforward?"

Gao Xi said: "Otherwise? This problem is already in front of her. If she doesn't make a choice by herself, who can help her?"

Li Congjia said blankly: "It's been resolved, I transferred Lei Youzhong to another place."

Gao Xi was surprised for a moment, and then said indifferently: "This is a matter that His Majesty intervened to solve. In fact, she still has to face the same problem."

Li Congjia looked at her for a while and asked, "Did you have any grudge against her before?"

Gao Xi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really perceptive. When she was young, she snatched my toys and even broke them."

Li Congjia laughed: "Just because of this?"

Gao Xi said lightly: "That toy may be ordinary to her, but it is all mine. Do you think I should hate her?"

Li Congjia was at a loss for words, so he could only say, "Okay, I know what's in my mind."

Gao Xi politely bowed and left, Li Congjia saw her leave, then turned to look at Shi Xueting and said, "Women really shouldn't be messed with, it's such a small thing, I still remember it now."

But Shi Xueting said: "Don't think that children don't remember things. The younger they are, the more they remember. For example, Brother Xuehe snatched my candied haws. I still remember him."

Li Congjia almost laughed when he heard this, walked over and touched his bald head and said, "Hey, don't forget, if you want to eat candied haws, I'll ask someone to make it for you."

Shi Xueting hugged Li Congjia, rubbed his hands on his waist and said in a low voice: "But I want to eat now..."

Li Congjia pushed him away and said, "Think about it first, we haven't finished the business yet, by the way, how about the woolen cloth and woolen thread?"

Shi Xueting regretfully glanced at Li Congjia from top to bottom, that look gave Li Congjia the illusion that he had been stripped naked, and asked angrily, "Speak, don't be full of lust."

Only then did Shi Xueting return to normal form and said: "A lot of wool fabrics have been made according to what you said. Do you really have to hoard so much? What if you can't sell them? Of course, this is not what I asked. Mr. Gongshu is already very tired." Anxious, he was afraid that the weavers would not be able to sell and would have nothing to eat."

Because Mr. Gongshu has several patents for improving the loom, he already has no worries about food and drink, and even wants to raise those weavers. Of course, he has nothing wrong with those weavers. If you are a fallen person, help if you can.

But I didn't expect that those weavers were also very ambitious. They just wanted to live hard with their own hands, weaving cloth, cutting clothes and weaving clothes every day.

Mr. Gongshu was very afraid that Li Congjia would dismiss the weavers if he couldn't sell these clothes, so these weavers might really have no other way out.

Li Congjia said with a smile: "There is a specialization in surgery, you tell Mr. Gongshu not to think too much, just do his own thing well, leave the rest to us, these things will be sold soon, just don't do anything now But because who would buy it in the summer?"

Shi Xueting sat next to him and said: "Let me think about it, since you are so confident...are you talking about the ministers' year-end awards again?"

Ever since the term year-end award was mentioned by Li Congjia, everyone has gotten used to it. Anyway, everyone gets used to things that are beneficial to them.

Li Congjia kissed his bald head and said, "You are really smart."

Shi Xueting pretended to be angry and cut the person in half, and after teasing him for a long time, he suddenly stopped and said: "Okay, you still have some notes to read, let's continue."

Li Congjia: This narrow-minded guy!

After Li Congjia recovered, Shi Xueting said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has started to study the banknote system. It seems that it is going to be promoted. Don't you care?"

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "Let them figure out a solution. I can only provide some ideas, and these ideas may not be better than them. Let them go first."

It is because banknotes are now more and more accepted by people that Shi Xueting thought that Li Congjia's idea might be the year-end bonus.

Of course, the rapid promotion of banknotes has a lot to do with Arong. After all, Arong has set up a business, which can be regarded as a community of interests, and Arong knows that Li Congjia wants to push banknotes vigorously.

Based on the idea that the idol's wish is my wish, Ah Rong directly asked the merchants who joined the firm to allow banknotes to be exchanged for items. In this way, the entire retail industry of Datang was basically covered in an instant-the business in this era is really not good. If it is developed, there are only a few businessmen.

From the beginning, banknotes were only given to ministers as year-end awards, and ministers didn’t like to ask for them. Now, as long as they are in a well-off family, they basically have some. Compared with copper coins, everyone really likes banknotes, although there is a risk of losing them easily. , but it is easy to carry, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to carry it with a large denomination!

The reason why the Ministry of Households has been slow to launch the paper currency system is mainly because people started hoarding copper coins after they discovered that they had paper money. After all, paper money is easy to use, and copper coins are also the most solid currency.

For this matter, Li Congjia thinks the solution is very easy to do, that is, after the introduction of paper money, the copper coins will be abolished directly. Of course, the copper coins can be exchanged for paper money.

But there is also a problem...whether the banknotes are enough to exchange? Now is not a later generation. I don't know how much property each family has, so how much paper money do I need to prepare to exchange these copper coins?

Will less preparation affect people's lives?Will there be inflation if you prepare too much?

Li Congjia can even imagine that once the announcement of the abolition of copper coins comes out, the people will definitely hoard all kinds of food as soon as possible, which will lead to a sharp increase in the price of food. After all, everyone is afraid that they will not be able to exchange banknotes. The crash was very severe. After all, everyone has stocked up so much, and the demand will become less after that.

Such ups and downs have too much economic impact on the market, and it is likely to bring Datang's newly recovered business into a cold winter!

So Li Congjia never thought of pushing banknotes very forcefully from the very beginning, but just let everyone get familiar with it as soon as possible. He also planned to do the same with wool. Anyway, compared to banknotes, woolen clothes and cashmere clothes will always be warm. If the price is not Too high is easier to promote.

When Li Congjia was thinking about how to promote woolen fabrics, Shi Xueting sent him a document and said, "There may be some accidents in Dali."

"Accident?" Li Congjia asked while picking up the document and reading it.

It turned out that this was really... an accident, because Dali seemed to know that a battle with Datang was inevitable, but he also knew that he could not defeat Datang, so the head of the Gao family contacted many people, what about Bagan, Shan, Wu Brother Dynasty, and even Queen Kingdom have hooked up!More or less, these countries have sent people to help Dali.

The reason for the head of the Gao family is simple: Datang's appetite is too great, his today is your tomorrow, everyone should unite to resist Datang!

Li Congjia: This is really...too polite, he really had the idea of ​​these sites, but since the courier has been delivered, then he...be reluctant to accept it.

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: I heard that there are rumors that I "can't"?

Shi Xueting: Isn't it?I haven't stayed here for several days, and before you too... Did you suffer from kidney deficiency?

Li Congjia: Damn, who are you talking about with kidney deficiency?Come, come, I will make you suffer from kidney deficiency today!

Shi Xueting: Then let's try a new pose.

Li Congjia: ...There seems to be something wrong.
