Chapter 281: Currency is the foundation, and sales are the end
The court discussion continued, and Li Xiu arranged the plans he had already decided in an orderly manner.
War situation, political situation...
Everything seemed to be under his control.
However, no one noticed that Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was originally standing on the side of Wu Xun, quietly left the Huangji Palace.
"Sir, all are ready."
As soon as Li Ruolian left the Huangji Palace, an Jinyiwei came quickly.
Hearing this, Li Ruolian turned around and looked at the court that had become stable. After a moment of silence, his voice slowly rang out: "Do it."
"Abide by the order!"
The Jinyiwei left in response.
And with the departure of the Jinyiwei, outside the court, a long-planned storm suddenly arose in the capital!
Since Chongzhen was assassinated, the Jinyiwei, whose fangs had been restrained, opened his fangs completely for the first time in the great turmoil of this day.
The Tiqi came out everywhere, and the officials and merchants who had been staring at the Jinyiwei for a long time were directly destroyed by the family. From high above, they fell to the sky in the blink of an eye. The already empty prison suddenly became crowded.
Just as Liu Qiyuan thought, the confrontation in the dark is the most dangerous.
In the past, rules and regulations constrained the world, and even Li Xiu was inevitably bound by rules and regulations. He could only fight with those with ulterior motives within the rules.
Nowadays, those with ulterior motives have surfaced, or they have overturned the rules and broken the plate themselves.
Li Xiu naturally doesn't mind dealing with people who don't follow the rules.
People seem to have forgotten that the existence of rules is not only a restraint, but to some extent, it is also a protection.
If you don’t follow the rules, this kind of protection will naturally no longer exist...
The court discussions are still continuing, and Li Xiu has never been stingy and tolerant to those who abide by the rules and do things.
Now, the same is true.
Explain the facts, analyze the pros and cons, and finally give the civil and military officials all over the court a reassurance!
At any time, the center of the court is the foundation, and there can be chaos anywhere. The center must not be at all unstable.
This is the silent tacit understanding between Li Xiu and the Wenchen Master.
The court is in charge of the government and the army is also a tacit understanding formed by inertia.
However, as the chaos arose today, this tacit understanding was suddenly disrupted.
In other words, in the chaos, the things that the various departments in the court could not solve were ultimately expected to solve by Li Xiu, the Duke of Qin.
Just like the matter of money, grain and water transportation, what the court can do is to replace the governor of the grain transportation, and urge various provinces to collect grain and restore the grain transportation as soon as possible.
But in this situation, these measures have undoubtedly achieved little success.
He could only let Li Xiu cut the mess quickly, start the sea transportation with his military power, and borrow money houses to collect food and supplies.
In this way, although tacit understanding exists, it is inevitable that Li Xiu's influence on political affairs is becoming increasingly greater.
This is like the Tumu Fort Incident, Yu Qian was loyal and brave enough to supervise the Beijing camp and train elite soldiers. The starting point was good, but from then on, the curtain was opened for civil officials to command soldiers. At the same time, it can also be said that civil nobles and military officials also began from then on.
Now, the same is true. Although Li Xiu had not deliberately interfered in political affairs, as the chaos in the world spread, even at the beginning of the chaos, the court was unable to compete and could only rely on him, Duke Qin.
In the future, this kind of reliance will only become heavier and heavier. When the chaos is pacified, he will inevitably be deeply imprinted on the political situation and be labeled with the mark of Li Xiu.
Of course, the premise is that Li Xiu can always maintain absolute strength, can suppress the court, and can pacify the world!
Li Xiu was also extremely confident about this.
The court debate continued, and the storm in the capital had already begun, but in the Duke of Qin's mansion, there was a hustle and bustle. Famous merchants gathered in the Duke of Qin one after another.
"Ahem!"
The noise was accompanied by a cough, and the noise suddenly stopped. With the help of the servants, Wang Wu slowly walked to the rich merchants.
"Old Wang!"
"Old Wang!"
The rich merchants greeted each other one after another, and their attitudes were extremely humble.
"I won't say much if I have more. You all know why Zhao Er is here."
"The master will be back later. You all light up your eyes. Do whatever the master told me..."
"The master can't rub the sand in his eyes and is disobedient. If something goes wrong, I can't save you..."
Just as Wang Wu ordered, on the street not far from the Duke of Qin's mansion, Li Xiu and Sun Chuanting and several ministers of the ministry were rare.
Similarly, several people were rare who had never discussed state affairs. They walked along the streets, and the trivial matters on the streets were also full of fun.
However, the running Jinyiwei Tiqi made several ministers' eyebrows more worried again.
When he arrived outside the Duke of Qin's mansion, he saw the dense row of carriages, Sun Chuanting and others were also obviously confused.
Sun Chuanting asked curiously: "Is this a guest coming to Qin Gong's Mansion?"
“There are some.”
Li Xiu nodded, glanced at Liu Qiyuan who was frowning, and then smiled and said, "I'll know later."
Immediately, Li Xiu didn't say anything more, took a step and walked into the mansion first.
Liu Qiyuan suddenly said: "It should be those merchants."
Sun Chuanting frowned: "Money House?"
Liu Qiyuan nodded, and the few people looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little solemn.
A mere merchant is naturally nothing to them.
However, the effect of the combination of the power of merchants and Duke Qin, whether it is the change in Jiangnan or the response of Duke Qin under the changes, clearly highlights the horror of this power.
"Shanxi merchants were engaged in enemies and treason for the country, and now the collusion between officials and merchants in Jiangnan has caused trouble to the world..."
Liu Qiyuan had a serious expression: "Businessmen must be effectively controlled!"
"After all, it is caused by the lack of strict control in the court."
Li Banghua shook his head: "If this time I can really create a world again, how to change it and what it is, it's easy to say, otherwise..."
Li Banghua had not finished speaking, but how could Sun Chuanting and others not hear the implication? They looked at each other and were silent. Then they walked into the Duke of Qin's mansion one after another.
At this moment, shouts in the hall sounded, and the rich merchants who were calling for wind and rain in the outside world were kneeling on the ground in a humble manner.
Among them, there are various managers responsible for the industry of the Duke of Qin, and there are also wealthy merchants supported by the huge wealth of the bank. Of course, more so, after this interest relationship was formed, merchants from all over the country were subtly absorbed.
In the face of real power, the so-called wealth and wealth of a family are not worth mentioning.
"Get up."
With Li Xiu's calm voice, the wealthy merchants also stood up one after another, lowered their heads and stood respectfully in the hall, not daring to breathe for a moment.
Li Xiu glanced at Sun Chuanting and others standing outside the hall, looked around all the merchants present before he slowly spoke:
"Businessmen are based on currency and sell goods as the last!"
"As a merchant, you should be familiar with this sentence."
"Jiu Er and others come here, just for this."
"Combined with the orders of this governor, conduct business normally and maintain market stability, and those who have made contributions will be regarded as fame and profit, and this governor will never be stingy."
"If you have bad intentions, have ulterior motives, stock up on goods and disrupt the market, even if you are far away from the world, I will kill you!"
"besides……"
