After resting for a moment, Yin Yu's mood calmed down a little. She looked at Zhou Jun in front of her and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch his face and said: "Erlang traveled to the Western Regions. Although it was only a year, his whole person changed a lot.
, I just didn’t recognize you when I first saw you.”
Zhou Jun recalled that during this year, as Yin Yu said, he really encountered a lot of things.
Yin Yu asked again: "I just heard you say that someone assassinated you when you were in Dunhuang County. What happened?"
Zhou Jun picked out some key points of what happened and told Yin Yu.
The latter's eyes widened when he heard this, and he unconsciously grabbed Zhou Jun's clothes with both hands, and whispered: "Erlang, listen to me, this job is very dangerous, don't do it again, stay in Chang'an."
Zhou Jun just smiled bitterly after hearing this. Yin Yu didn't know something. In a few years, the situation in Chang'an would be several times more dangerous than that in the Western Regions.
Of course, Zhou Jun could not say this.
He could only stretch out his hand, hugged Yin Yu, and said softly: "Jun is from a humble background and has no fame to accompany him. In order to be with you, I can only risk my life and earn a huge contribution. Only in this way can others look at me with admiration.
"
When Yin Yu heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, threw herself into Zhou Jun's arms, and refused to let go for a long time.
The two of them were in the back room of the temple, enjoying the joy of meeting again after a long separation, and talking about their lovesickness day and night.
I don't know how long it took, but a chamberlain saw that it was too late, so he had to stand outside the door and whisper to the princess to return to the palace.
Seeing that Yin Yu had no intention of leaving, Zhou Jun had no choice but to persuade her with a few words.
Yin Yu heard the calls outside the door becoming more and more urgent, and knew in her heart that it was time to leave.
Unable to leave, she stood on tiptoes, closed her eyes, gently tapped Zhou Jun's chin with her lips, and then quickly left the temple.
A few days later, the court meeting ended, and Li Longji left the important ministers in the court to discuss the management of Daqi Trading Road.
Left Prime Minister Chen Xilie read the records of the Daqi Commercial Road with great interest and said: "The commercial road runs through the desert, and no one dares to open a shop, so the inn is turned into a hotel, and the government-run one replaces the private one. In this way, no matter the price, no one dares to open a shop."
Whether it’s buying or selling, it’s all one and only. This method is truly wonderful and has never been heard of before.”
Upon hearing this, the ministers in the room nodded in agreement.
Li Linfu, the right minister, said: "Zhou Jun rebuilt the Daqi trade route in just one year and earned two million yuan in taxes and tribute for the court. He is truly a capable minister."
After speaking, Li Linfu first raised his head and glanced at Li Longji, who was sitting next to him, and then glanced sideways at Yang Zhao, who was sitting next to him.
Li Longji stroked his beard and smiled, but Yang Zhao looked disdainful.
Seeing that no one had anything else to say, Li Longji said: "It is difficult to open the Daqi trade road, and it is also difficult to maintain the business. If it can be managed well, it will be a legacy of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come. Zhou Jun worked hard in the Western Regions for a year, and I
I am interested in looking for someone to replace him. As for who will take over, dear friends, do you have any suggestions?"
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other.
Everyone knows that in the Silk Road, the Daqi Trade Road is a completely monopolized trade route.
The operator has complete control over the pricing power and access rights of the trade routes. If he wishes, he can completely insert private properties and give his own caravans priority status.
In other words, whoever manages Daqi Trade Road will have inexhaustible wealth.
At this moment, Yang Zhao was the first to stand up and said: "I recommend someone, Honglu Shaoqing Pei Yu."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Pei Yu was born in the Pei family in Sichuan. He was good at diplomacy and familiar with the frontier. However, his elder brother was the husband of Mrs. Yang of Guo State. Although he died early, the Pei family and the Yang family had a very good personal relationship.
Many people could understand Yang Zhao's thoughts, but it was hard to tell.
When Li Longji heard this, he frowned slightly and was noncommittal.
Next, some ministers recommended a few more people, but Li Longji still did not express his position.
After completing the circle, Li Longji turned his attention to Li Linfu: "What does the right minister think?" Li Linfu: "The Daqi Trading Road is located in the Western Region, and the surrounding situation is complicated. Those who run it must master management, financial management, and expenditure. Finally, they should be in the military.
Had a job."
What Li Linfu said was quite similar to what Zhou Jun said before.
When Li Longji heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and asked: "Does the right minister have any recommendations?"
Li Linfu said again: "The person recommended by the old minister is Wang Xian."
Li Longji was startled: "Wang?"
Who is Wang Fei?
Wang Zhi was born in Qixian County, Taiyuan County. His grandfather was Wang Fangyi, the general of the Western Domain of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Kaiyuan period, Wang Menyin entered the officialdom and was awarded the title of Lieutenant of Huxian County, Supervisor and Censor, and was transferred to the Ministry of Households and Wailang.
After entering Tianbao, Wang Xian served as a doctor in the household department. He participated in the trial of many cases and showed his political talents. He successively served as the Heshi and Bian envoy, the Changchun Palace envoy, the Hukou color service envoy, paid homage to the censor Zhongcheng, and the deposed envoy for interviews in the Gyeonggi Pass.
But compared to these resumes, Wang Zhi is most famous for the several "big things" he has done.
1. In the case of Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian traveled together during the Lantern Festival. Li Linfu falsely accused the two of forming a clique for personal gain and wanted to depose Li Linfu. However, because there was no evidence, he called in Wang He, Yang Shenjin, Yang Zhao and others.
Testify and substantiate the case.
Second, Yang Shenjin later gained the trust and appreciation of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Linfu jealous and fearful that Yang Shenjin would ascend to power in the future. Yang Shenjin was Wang Shen's uncle and his recommender for official positions. The relationship between the two
They were both relatives and masters. Li Linfu learned that Wang He had been dissatisfied with Yang Shenjin for a long time, so he sowed discord among them, causing Wang He to falsely accuse Yang Shenjin of secretly hiding prophecies. In the end, all three Yang brothers were sentenced to death.
3. After the death of Yang Shenjin, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Wang He, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, as the household registration official, and issued an edict to exempt the people from paying rent for that year. Wang He asked the people to collect the freight, exaggerated the amount of money, and let the people use money to buy
For the valuables produced locally, the people paid more than if they were not exempt from rent. Wang Xian took the opportunity to collect money and provided it for Xuanzong to squander, which attracted the favor of the saint, made the people complain, and made the people miserable. Reading books are dull.
After hearing Li Linfu's recommendation, Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his legs and said: "Wang Zhi is a good man in financial management, and he is also responsible for deposing people in the army. How come I forgot about him? It's him."

matters.
After leaving the court, Li Linfu walked outside the imperial city gate and saw his son Li Xiu waiting beside the carriage, waiting there early.
After getting on the carriage, Li Xiu looked at Li Linfu and asked carefully: "Father, is it done?"
Li Linfu closed his eyes and nodded gently.
When Li Xiu heard this, his face was filled with joy and he couldn't help but say: "In this way, the family's property and caravan can also be arranged to enter the Daqi trade route, and now we can make a lot of money."
Li Linfu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiu and said: "Money is just an external thing, the situation in the court is the key."
When Li Xiu heard this, he quickly bowed and said yes.
Li Linfu sighed slightly, and took this opportunity to teach a few more words: "Yesterday at the court meeting, there was a report from the imperial censor that Zhou Jun took advantage of the situation to make money."
Li Xiu was stunned.
Li Linfu: "Zhou Jun has just obtained taxes and tribute for the imperial court. He is a hero in the eyes of the saint. It is really foolish to attack rashly at this time."
Li Xiu thought about it carefully and asked: "Is it possible that the person who ordered the censor to report is Yang Zhao?"
Li Linfu: "Who else could be there besides him? This Yang family man has a great appearance, but he is a idiot. I don't even bother to associate with him."
Li Xiu: "What did the sage say clearly?"
Li Linfu: "Today we are discussing the Daqi trade route. The sage ignored the people recommended by Yang Zhao. This is the reason. So, remember, trying to be quick and messing up the entire chess game is a way to commit suicide.
Don't do it."
Li Xiu nodded first, and then asked: "Father, how should Zhou Jun be dealt with?"
Li Linfu: "Don't move your troops first, and let's take a look at the rewards in the palace. If he moves out to become the governor, then don't pay attention to him; if he stays in Chang'an, beware of this person."
