Chapter 197 Competition for Power
The chicken soup that was originally only given to the imperial examination classes has become chicken soup for officials and common people, and it seems to be quite effective.
Gu Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Only then did he leave in relief under the spotlight.
Lu Mei wiped her tears with a handkerchief and followed closely: "Master, is this Ming Dynasty your vision for the Zhou Dynasty?"
"The great China has countless heroic sons and daughters. . We in the Zhou Dynasty have never been short of hot-blooded heroes.”
Gu Nanxi didn't say what was missing, but Lu Mei understood it, but she didn't know if those who should understand understood it.
The sun was setting in the west, chasing Gu Nanxi’s carriage.
The last remnant of the setting sun is approaching the horizon little by little, and the black gauze-like night slowly covers the dome.
After the sky darkened, lights were lit everywhere in the palace. Orange-yellow hexagonal lamps hung on the eaves, casting elliptical halos of light.
Concubine Tong came to the Qinzheng Hall with her maid: "The Holy One is still in there? Have you had dinner?"
The chief steward glanced worriedly at the closed door of the palace, and shook his head at Concubine Tong: "Since the content of Mrs. Yongchang Hou's preaching reached His Majesty, His Majesty locked himself in the palace, and no one was allowed to enter, and no one was allowed to enter. "I told you to eat."
Concubine Tong's eyes widened, her eyebrows furrowed, and she scolded: "How can this continue? Don't you try to persuade me?"
The manager smiled bitterly.
The current Holy Emperor is a magnanimous master, but once his temper becomes stubborn, who dares to persuade him? !
Concubine Tong stepped forward and wanted to knock on the door, but she paused and simply pushed the door open and went in.
"Get out! Who let you in!" The young emperor shouted sharply with his back to the door.
Concubine Tong took a breath and softened her voice: "It's me! I was worried when I heard that Your Majesty hadn't eaten yet, so I came to take a look."
The young emperor looked back. He glanced at her and saw that it was his beloved concubine Tong Guifei. She said nothing and just continued to turn around and look at the wool map on the wall in confusion.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" Concubine Tong walked to the young emperor, not daring to be as presumptuous as usual.
Under the dim light, the young emperor's handsome face flickered.
"This is the New Year's gift that sister gave me last year. Can you see anything special about it?"
Concubine Tong narrowed her eyes and looked at it carefully.
This map is extremely detailed, with rivers, mountains, and densely populated cities, which shows that it was carefully thought out.
But compared to the wool map, there is also a map made of pure gold in the Holy Sage's private treasury, and the mountains and rivers on it are inlaid with rubble.
If there is anything special, it is only...
"Sixteen States! This map also includes the Sixteen States!"
The young emperor fixed his eyes on the drawing time in the lower right corner of the map, which was the year when Gu Zhanshen regained the Sixteen States.
The young emperor's shoulders slumped, as if he had endured an unbearable weight: "Nearly half a year has passed before I realized the meaning of sister's gift."
Concubine Tong is not very capable. She sympathized with the young emperor, but she knew that at this time, she just needed to listen quietly.
The young emperor sat down on the ground and covered his face with his hands: "The northern border is invaded every year, and the 16 states can no longer satisfy them. They are like wild wolves that have tasted meat, staring at us eagerly. ." "Sister A is telling us that when our friends come, we will entertain them with good food and wine. If our enemies come, we will drive them out with sticks!"
“At the beginning of the year, there was a quarrel in the court over the main war and the main peace. Master Tong said that there was no money in the treasury and it was not appropriate to start a war.”
“My sister asked Yun Yan to do business, and Personally take charge of Kyoto housing prices , this is the example she gave me! If the treasury has no money, then find a way to make money! If you don’t compete with the people for profit, isn’t there a huge overseas market?”
If the young emperor is tapped! When the Ren Du second pulse is activated, the whole person becomes clear instantly.
Many questions that have besieged me in the past can actually find inspiration and answers from Gu Nanxi’s every move!
A big food street will let everyone in Kyoto see that there are also wealthy people who eat big food! Since they can come and make money from Da Zhou people, why can’t Da Zhou make money from them?
The young emperor's thoughts continued to diverge, and he couldn't help but think of an organization that once had a famous name, but now is in name only - the Shibo Division.
The trade in fragrant medicines often results in dozens of times profit!
Often if you go out with five guan, you will get at least 50 guan back in less than a year!
Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court deliberately set up shipping departments in Guangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou and other places to extract and buy imported fragrant medicines.
The solution is to collect import duties from shippers in the form of physical goods such as perfume.
Bomai means that the shipping department purchases some imported spices from the shipping merchant at a certain price.
But since he came to the throne, Taishi Tong has lowered tariffs and abolished the bobuy system, resulting in a much lower national fiscal revenue.
Tong Taishi said that wealth should be hidden among the people, but the young emperor knew that it actually enriched the pockets of those officials!
The young emperor lowered his eyes and rubbed his thumb and index finger. Do you want to take action on the fragrant medicine trade?
...
In an ordinary inn in Kyoto City, Gu Shisan was lying upright on the bed.
The setting sun outside the window is like blood, and there are bustling crowds under the window, and my ears are filled with noisy hawking sounds.
Gu Shisan turned a deaf ear to all this, and all he could think about was what Gu Nanxi said on the stage today: "No land, no marriage, no compensation, no tribute!"
Bang!
The door was suddenly opened wide, and Gu Shishi and others rushed into the room with red eyes: "Brother Thirteen, miss her! Miss she has the same ambition as the general!"
Gu Shisan turned over He stood up and said in a muffled voice: "The general only has her flesh and blood. If something happens to her again, the general will be dead."
Gu Shiba walked to Gu Shisan's bedside, and the tall figure blocked the window. sunshine.
“Brother Thirteen, the deputy general is old. Before we went out, we heard from my aunt that the deputy general’s old injury has relapsed and his legs hurt so much that he can’t sleep every night. If something happens to the deputy general, who will take charge of the overall situation in the future? ? "
"Do you really want to obey the command of that useless Marquis Yongchang? Isn't that just asking the brothers to die, regardless of the life and death of the people at the border? "
Gu Shisan turned around again and stared straight at the roof, with heaven and man fighting in his heart.
A scale has two ends. One end is the future of my brothers and brothers, and the future of the people at the border.
On the other side is the quiet and stable life of the young lady, which is the concern that General Gu will not let go of until his death.
Gu Twenty-one: "Brother Thirteen, today is different from the past. Without General Gu, the Marquis of Yongchang would dare to treat the lady so slowly! If there were no us, wouldn't the lady be just a fish on the chopping board? People rub it flat and round it?”
“It’s better to have it yourself than others have it!”
"You should have asked Miss her opinion! Maybe she also wants to take control of the military!"
"Yes, according to the information we have gathered during this period, Miss is a tough leader. War faction! If he hadn't been trapped in the back house, he would have gone to the battlefield with his sword!"
"After all, the blood of the Gu family flows in my body!"
