Chapter 287 The troll king Wei Zheng

Li Er, who was resting, frowned slightly and said, "Jun Xian, you know my temper."

Li Junxian immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there is a flood on Hedong Road."

"What did you say?" Li Er stood up with a groan and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Junxian immediately handed the newspaper to Li Er and said: "This is a newspaper printed by the newspaper office opened by Lantian Hou. It says that the Yellow River burst its banks in Pingyang County, Jinzhou, Hedong Road."

Li Er grabbed the newspaper and started searching, and immediately found the report about flooding on Hedong Road that Li Junxian had mentioned.

"There is a flood, there really is a flood, but why was it not mentioned in my memorial? Did I miss it, or did they never report it at all?" Li Er said with a gloomy face.

Li Junxian immediately said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will send someone to investigate now."

Li Er said angrily: "When you find out, how many of my people will starve to death."

"I will die!" Li Junxian knelt on the ground.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Go and inform Fang Quling. Du Ruhui and a group of ministers have come into the palace to see me. I just want to inform Li Feng to come."

Just as Li Er's order was issued, a eunuch came over and said that Fang Xuanling and others were waiting at the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Show up at the Xuanzheng Hall."

…

In the Xuanzheng Hall, a group of ministers including Fang Xuanling arrived almost at the same time.

Du Ruhui said worriedly: "On my way to the palace just now, I saw many people buying goods in large quantities, which caused the prices of the goods to rise a lot. What do you all think of this?"

Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face: "You bastard, I, Old Cheng, wanted to buy a bottle of wine, but found that the price had more than doubled. I was so angry that I smashed their tavern on the spot."

"This is all caused by Lantianhou's newspaper. I really want to know when the imperial court gave Lantianhou the right to mint copper coins." Wei Zheng said with a gloomy face.

Fang Xuanling said with some embarrassment: "I know this, and His Majesty agreed to it in order to prepare funds for the bank.

Everyone has read about the wonderful functions of banks from newspapers, but there is one thing that has not been mentioned, that is, we want wealthy families to stop hiding their money at home and deposit it all in banks."

"What's the purpose of doing this? Those aristocratic families are the ones who benefit." Wei Zheng said.

If you save money, you can get interest. This is free money. Why not? I really can’t understand how a smart person like Li Feng could come up with such a mindless thing?

"I can't explain this to you anymore. Let Li Feng explain it to you." Fang Xuanling directly pushed the question to Li Feng.

In fact, Li Feng had already explained this matter to Fang Xuanling and Li Er, but because Li Feng used professional terms at the time, even though Fang Xuanling remembered them, he didn't know the meaning of the terms.

So it's best to leave it to Li Feng to solve it.

Du Ruhui walked up to Fang Xuanling and asked softly: "Why am I not clear about this matter?"

Before Fang Xuanling could answer, Wei Zheng got angry again: "Okay, I don't want to talk about banks, I just want to talk about this cement road."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with the cement road?"

"I have no objection to Li Feng's plan to build a cement road. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I even support it with both hands. But..." Wei Zheng paused.

Fang Xuanling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Logically speaking, as the prime minister and the head of officials, he did not need to pay attention to Wei Zheng.

However, the fact is that he did not dare to provoke Wei Zheng. No one dared to provoke Wei Zheng, not even the emperor dared to provoke Wei Zheng.

Because Wei Zheng is the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty. As long as Wei Zheng thinks that you are not a good person, he will try his best to find your shortcomings and cause trouble for you. Even if you spit everywhere, he will say that you have no moral character and have bad moral character.

How can such a person become an official?

Don't think that spitting is a small matter. When it comes out of his mouth, it's a big deal. What's more, what they say is so logical that you have to believe it.

The emperor was very convinced of Wei Zheng. Sometimes he was so angry that he wanted to kill Wei Zheng.

Now Wei Zheng seemed to have found him, which gave Fang Xuanling a headache. Du Ruhui on the side patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder, shook his head, and stopped asking.

Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with a sneer and said, "But the wages Li Feng gave to build the road were probably too much.

One month at a time, do you know what this means? That is much higher than the wages of most positions in Chang'an.

Mr. Fang, have you ever thought about it, as a result, most of the jobs in Chang'an may become vacant because there are no workers."

Fang Xuanling said: "Li Feng is rich. If he gives more to the people, Mr. Wei should be happy.

Isn't that what Mr. Wei is thinking about when the people benefit? Mr. Wei often gets angry at Your Majesty for this matter. Why has it completely changed now? You don't want the people to live a better life, do you?"

Wei Zheng roared directly: "To benefit the people, this is my original intention, and I will never change it in this life. But this time it seems that the people have benefited, but in the long run, not only have they not benefited, but they will also

Hurt.

I would like to ask which businessman would pay so much wages for a monthly salary? It can be said that none, not even one.

Also, Li Feng used all the labor force in Chang'an and Luoyang to build roads, so you don't know how much impact it will have on Chang'an and Luoyang."

How could Fang Xuanling not know? Even Li Feng had said that prices were about to skyrocket, but for the sake of long-term interests, this short-term difficulty was nothing to mention.

"Why doesn't Mr. Fang speak?" Wei Zheng asked.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Master Wei, do you think Li Feng knows what you said?"

Wei Zheng's eyes narrowed and he said, "What do you mean? Could it be that Li Feng knew all this a long time ago, and yet he still insists on going his own way? Wait, does it mean that you also know about this?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "I do know, and His Majesty also knows, but we both support Li Feng in doing this. Do you know why?"

"I don't know, but I know that if Li Feng can't solve this matter, I will definitely impeach you."

“Who are you going to impeach?”

A deep voice came from outside the hall.

Fang Xuanling and others stood in their respective positions, unlike those who were a little messy just now.

Li Er slowly walked in from outside the hall and sat on his dragon chair.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Fang Xuanling and others saluted one after another.

"No courtesy." Li Er said solemnly, and then looked at Wei Zheng, "Wei Zheng, who do you want to impeach?"

Wei Zheng walked out without any fear, and said slowly: "The person I want to impeach is the Marquis of Lantian County, Li Feng."
