Chapter 830 Artillery(1/2)
"Your Majesty and your ministers should be most comfortable with these matters, so I won't say more!"
As he spoke, Li Xuan thought of something and said again: "Your Majesty can give Gao Ming a village in Weinan County and hide Gao Ming's personal guards in it, so that he can protect Gao Ming in case of crisis!"
Hearing this, the eyes of Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others flickered.
Their family also has Zhuangzi in Weinan County.
"This is a great good thing!"
Li Shimin nodded with joy on his face.
"So, can Xuance be appointed as the county magistrate of Weinan County?"
"No!"
Li Xuan shook his head directly.
"Why?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Gao Ming, Xuance and the others have no experience in governing the county. If they just come here and directly replace all the chief officials of Weinan County with Gao Ming, Xuance and others, it will inevitably lead to a mess.
It's better to let Xuance serve as the deputy to the county magistrate first, and wait until Gao Ming, Xuance and others are familiar with the situation in Weinan County, and then depending on the situation, he can become the county magistrate, or take up other official positions!"
Li Xuan said.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant are iron-clad, and the county magistrate is flowing water.
Although the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief clerk are officials of the Tang Dynasty, as long as there are no special changes, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief clerk of a certain county can basically work in a certain county for decades.
Will be promoted.
Therefore, the county magistrate is not easy to mess with, and the county magistrate, county captain, and chief registrar are even more difficult to mess with. They can be said to be the local overlords of each county.
Of course, facing nobles such as Fang Yizhi, Wang Xuance, and Changsun Chong, the county magistrate, county captain, and master register are simply not enough.
However, being an official does not mean seeking revenge!
With the help of the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief registrar, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance, and others can save at least half of their time in governing Weinan County.
"If that's the case, then let's aggrieve Xuance first!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin also thought about this and nodded slightly, "If the Weinan County Magistrate is disobedient in the future, replace him!"
The county magistrate gave Wang Xuance, as well as a chief registrar and county lieutenant, all of whom were eighth-rank officials.
To whom it was given, Li Shimin did not say.
Li Xuan didn't ask either.
However, looking at the expressions on Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui's faces, a fierce fight was inevitable after they returned.
It has been decided that Li Chengqian will be appointed as the magistrate of Weinan County.
Li Xuan originally thought that it was time for Li Shimin and others to leave.
Unexpectedly, after another bottle of ice-cold ale was poured down, this group of people were still staying in Lijiazhuang, with no intention of leaving.
"Is there anything else your Majesty can do?"
Finally, someone in Li Xuan couldn't help it and asked.
"Forehead!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others had a focused look in their eyes, and they couldn't help but look at Li Xuan subconsciously. It was obvious that they were distracted just now.
"Xuanba, I, Fang Xuanling and others, as well as the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Pei family of Hedong... During this period, a total of 3,600 accounting gentlemen were selected to prepare for the big event.
Among the three hundred and sixty state cities in the Tang Dynasty, each state city established a bank!"
Li Shimin said directly.
"Three hundred and sixty banks!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice. He didn't expect Li Shimin to move so quickly and decisively.
"In this case, Xuanba congratulates Your Majesty!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin was stunned, "Xuanba, the bank in Datang, aren't you going to take shares?"
"Your Majesty, the bank is a big matter. If it is managed properly, it can benefit thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. But if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Although I want to participate, I dare not
!”
Li Xuan said truthfully.
Li Xuan only wanted the Tang Dynasty to control the banks in Goguryeo, Tubo, and Tuyuhun and other barbaric places. For these banks, no matter how big troubles occurred, Li Xuan didn't care.
But, in Datang.
Li Xuan was a little scared.
From the experience of later generations, banks really have both advantages and disadvantages.
Moreover, the management of later generations was so meticulous, and those banks were all like rogue overlords.
In this era where imperial power was supreme, he did not dare to participate at will.
"In this case, I will only give you a half-percent share of the Tang Dynasty Bank in the Three Hundred and Sixty States City! It was you who proposed and built the Tang Dynasty Bank. I am not a fool, and I will reward you for your merits!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said directly, leaving no chance for Li Xuan to shirk.
With the experience of those banks in Goguryeo, he didn't know the pros and cons of banks.
However, he was confident that he could control the bank and let the bank benefit Datang.
And Li Xuan, the founder of the bank, wanted to tie him firmly to the bank.
Otherwise, given Li Xuan's lazy temperament and lack of support, if there was a problem with Datang Bank, he would not even take care of it.
"well!"
Li Xuan sighed softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"However, I would like to ask Your Majesty and you to strictly monitor all operations of the bank. Otherwise, if there is any problem in the bank, it will affect the livelihood of the people of the state!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Xuan Ba, don't worry. During this period of time, I have been working with Xuan Ling, Auxiliary Machine and others to formulate the laws of the Tang Dynasty bank. After a period of time, the bank laws will definitely come out.
At that time, I will also send someone to bring the bank laws and let you see if there is anything that needs to be modified!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan slightly arched his hands.
Then, under the puzzled looks of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, he picked up the tea in front of him!
"Boom~"
Just as he put it in his mouth, a loud, dull sound suddenly came from outside!
After hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others' expressions couldn't help but change, and they subconsciously looked outside.
"Xuanba, is this sound a bomb explosion?"
"It should be the sound of a bomb!"
Li Xuan was also a little confused. The noise today was much louder than the previous days.
"housekeeper!"
Thinking about it, Li Xuan shouted outside.
"What is your order, Your Majesty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper Li Chang walked in quickly, bowed his hands and asked.
Every time a distinguished guest came to the other courtyard, Li Chang would guard the door. As soon as Li Xuan shouted, he could enter the room in time to answer.
"Where did that sound come from just now?"
"Go back to your Majesty, my old servant heard the sound. It should be coming from the mountains behind!"
Li Chang replied quickly.
"Send someone quickly to find out who set off the bomb in the back mountain?"
Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang looked solemn, thought of something, responded quickly, and walked out.
In the room, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were silent.
Li Xuan didn't explain much.
After a while, Li Chang walked in with an anxious face and some beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness King Xu and the Craftsman Mohou who are leading a group of ink masters to test the newly developed artillery in the back mountain!"
"artillery?"
