Chapter 964 Its not that Im not noble, its that I have too much money
Until Shen Ru, who was so angry that he vomited blood, was carried into Tai Hospital by a group of bad people, his colleagues in Wannian County who had been close to him in the past did not come out to take a look at him. Everyone gathered around Liu Nayan and Shi Zangjie to flatter themselves.
In one day, Shen Ru, who used to be able to control the wind and rain in Wannian County, experienced everything about the warmth and warmth of human relationships.
Even the locals in Chang'an felt sad when they saw this scene.
"It's just a group of subordinates..."
After hearing Liu Nayan's report, Li Xian, who was of noble status, was a little dismissive. For a prince like him, who had seen many times, it was not surprising that such people were having fun.
"Have you ever thought about how you would respond if Yunchu comes back?"
In the entire city of Chang'an, the only people Li Xian could truly avoid were Liu Rengui and Yun Chu. Now, Liu Rengui has left Chang'an to escort grain and grass to Yingzhou, and Yun Chu is still working as a monk at Guangfu Temple in Mount Tai, chanting sutras.
As for Li Ji and other nobles, they have just encountered unprecedented oppression on Mount Tai. Now, they are all staying at home, drinking and enjoying themselves without even daring to close the door.
Liu Nayan said: "When Yun Chu wants to come back again, I'm afraid Chang'an will have changed."
Li Xian nodded and said: "Then control Chang'an quickly. We don't have much time. I have already detained Shen Ru's memorial. However, there are many yamen in Chang'an City and there are many spies from Baiqisi. If they If you go to your own channel to report, even the lonely king can't stop you."
Shi Zang questioned: "I have been studying Chang'an for some time. According to my research, I found that Yunchu was indeed a rare capable minister and official in the world. The Chang'an model he built was often connected end to end.
It's like he transformed Chang'an's old city by more than 80% without spending a single cent of national funds, causing Chang'an City to have a lot of rich people for no reason. These rich people are actually people with an unstable foundation. But he was able to take advantage of the fact that all the wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty yearned for life in Chang'an, and used these wealthy people as the foundation of Chang'an.
In the end, the castle in the sky he created did not collapse, but continued to create new wealth. In this regard, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty could match it."
Liu Nayan saw that Shi Zangjie's advice was highly praised by Li Xian, so he quickly said: "This is wrong. The people who make Chang'an rich are not in the towers of Chang'an, but in the exchanges by the Qujiang Pond."
The exchange accommodated almost all the great merchants of the Tang Dynasty, as well as merchants from various vassals that had business dealings with the Tang Dynasty. Just because Yunchu made a simple circulation sign and listed all the goods of Chang'an merchants, Then the government acts as a middleman, allowing both buyers and sellers to profit, and then collects another tax amount.
This is the foundation of Chang'an's prosperity.
As for the high-rise dance pavilions in Chang'an City, they are just places for the rich to get drunk and indulge in luxury."
Li Xian nodded when he heard this, and then cast his gaze on the face of Xu Shuya, who had joined the army in the Jin Palace and was now a doctor of Hongwen Hall and a bachelor of Beimen. This person was a teacher specially assigned to him by his father and was always known for his foresight.
Immediately, Li Xian saw a look on Xu Shuya's face that he didn't like to see. Xu Shuya was expressionless and kept his eyes closed.
Li Xian then asked: "What do you think, Bachelor Xu?"
Xu Shuya said expressionlessly: "It's up to us to annotate the Book of the Later Han Dynasty."
Cheng Xuanyi, who is also a bachelor of Beimen, immediately said: "The wealth of Prince Yong's Palace alone is not enough to support us in completing the annotation of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty."
Xu Shuya looked around, then cupped his hands towards Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty's disciples are mostly just chatting guests, and there are few capable people. These people are very knowledgeable and have nothing to say, and it is natural that the banquet will be excellent."
It's just that when it comes to the real art of governing the country and managing finances, it's quite lacking.
Chang'an was the land of great wealth in the Tang Dynasty. We dare not make the slightest deviation. If we make a mistake, the river will overflow and the seven armies will be flooded.
Two years after Yun Chu left Chang'an, His Majesty would rather leave the post of Wannian County Magistrate vacant than dare to send officials to take up the post at will, because he took into account the importance of Chang'an.
Chang'an cannot be controlled by talented people. This veteran agrees very much.
Therefore, the veteran believes that His Highness is actually Meng Lang who invaded Chang'an this time."
Shi Cangxu, a doctor from the Imperial College, shook his head and said, "Wu Chengsi, are Wu Sansi considered talented people?"
Xu Shuya said: "I thought Erwu was more like a spy sent by the Queen of Heaven to test the depth of the water in Chang'an."
Liu Nayan said: "Your Highness, I have learned from a secret source that Yun Chu has accumulated a large amount of wealth secretly. If it is obtained, the wealth of Prince Yong's Mansion will be unparalleled in the world."
Li Xian stood up after hearing this and said, "Really?"
Liu Nayan whispered a few words into Li Xian's ear, and then laughed loudly: "Indeed."
Seeing the excitement on Li Xian's face, Xu Shuya stood up and saluted: "Since Mr. Liu has made such a great discovery, please allow your highness to allow me to concentrate on annotating the "Book of the Later Han"."
Li Xian said awkwardly: "Sir, this is considered a rude act by the solitary king. Once the solitary king obtains this property, we will retreat immediately and return this Wannian County to Erwu."
Xu Shuya sighed and said: "Your Highness is a nobleman from the sky, how can you be confused by mere money? With the dignity of Your Highness, you only need to pay attention to political dignitaries. The way of Fuzi is all about mourning and pity, and the execution of the punishment must be kept in the
Examine it, use your spare time to listen and read, and concentrate on the tomb scriptures. Go to the sacred relics and compile them to get a glimpse of the secrets of the pot.
Annotating the "Book of the Later Han" does not require much wealth, it is just a bit poorer than what I have been waiting for, and once knowledge is connected with wealth, it loses a bit of its charm... That's it, that's all, I will retire first."
Liu Nayan watched Xu Shuya leave the hall and said disdainfully: "Since ancient times, learning has never been cheap..."
Li Xian was still thinking about what Xu Shuya said in his mind. He himself was not a person who valued property too much, but the number Liu Nayan said in his ear just now was too shocking.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xian cross-examined Liu Nayan and Shi Zang on the spot: "Hurry, don't delay for a moment."
Liu Nayan and Shi Zang exchanged words and bowed to accept the order, then hurried out.
Liang Jianfang felt that he had the most fun drinking today. His right hand, which had been so painful that it was killing him, suddenly stopped hurting. Looking at his right hand, which had long been distorted due to gout, Liang Jianfang poured a bowl of wine into his mouth with his left hand.
Hehe smiled and said: "Let me just say, the reason why it hurt before was because I didn't drink enough wine.
As long as you drink enough alcohol, there is no disease in this world that cannot be cured."
As he spoke, he lifted a can of wine from the ground, opened his mouth and took it all in like a whale sucking water.
After he finished the wine, he said to Ying Gong on the front seat: "I'm going to be finished."
Li Ji looked at Liang Jianfang, who was soaked in wine, and raised his glass and said, "Drink to win."
Liang Jianfang tremblingly raised his wine glass and gave a distant salute to the Young Master, and then said to Su Dingfang beside him: "Old Su, I'm going to die."
Su Dingfang smiled and said: "You go first and occupy a good position for the old brothers..."
Liang Jianfang couldn't remember how many times he said "I'm going to die". The reason why he couldn't remember clearly was that he died as he spoke. Fortunately, before he died, he gave the last words of his life to
A glass of wine was drunk, and not a drop was left.
The servants settled Liang Jianfang, and the British Duke's banquet continued.
Until a middle-aged man whispered something in the ear of the Young Master, and the Young Master burst into laughter.
Shen Ruzheng was sitting in one of the most luxurious wards of Taiyuan Hospital, chewing on a braised pig's trotter. He liked the big tendon in the middle the most. The pig's trotters were cold pig's trotters, so the big tendon looked very chewy.
There was also a tall-chested woman sitting in front of him. The woman also held a braised pig's trotter in her hand. The woman thoughtfully pulled out the big tendons on the pig's trotter and handed it to Shen Ru. Shen Ru also held the outside of the pig's trotter.
He pulled off a ring of pig skin and handed it to Madam.
There is also a fat baby lying at his feet. The baby is very small. When he sleeps, he clenches his little fists in his hands and occasionally kicks his legs.
Whether it's Shen Ru or the woman, their attention basically falls on this little baby. As for the pig's trotters, they are just something to coax the mouth.
A thin and short man appeared at the door. After a slight cough, Shen Ru's wife hurriedly left with the baby in her arms. Shen Ru watched his wife's back disappear, and then said to the man who walked in: "How can I
Do you really feel sick?"
Yan Jiu looked at Shen Ru, whose face was glowing red, and said, "If you are really sick, why don't you just be sick?"
Shen Ru wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Don't kill me."
Yan Jiu took out a tough silk thread from his sleeve, wrapped the two ends around his hand and said: "If you can't kill it, the doctor will at most think that you are so angry that you have hurt your heart."
Shen Rudao: "There can't be anything wrong, right? As you saw, my wife gave birth to a baby girl for me, and I want to have a few more sons to inherit my family business."
Yan Jiu tied the silk thread behind Shen Ru's ear and said, "I'll be comatose for two days before we talk. When you wake up, the matter will be over."
Shen Ru took Yan Jiu's hand and said, "Are they so impatient?"
Yan Jiu said: "His Royal Highness King Yong is more greedy for money than you think."
Shen Ru sighed and said: "I thought I could catch the Queen's sore leg this time, but I didn't expect that I would catch His Majesty's sore leg. Speaking of which, Your Majesty is really having a hard time recently..."
Before Shen Ru could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Yan Jiu, who disliked him for talking too much.
Yan Jiu gently moved the silk thread behind Shen Ru's ear, then checked Shen Ru's breathing, and felt that Shen Ru's breathing was very steady, so he pulled out the silk thread.
When Yan Jiu was about to walk out of the ward door, Mrs. Shen Ru's shrill screams came from the other side of the ward.
Yan Jiu shook his head, feeling that Shen Ru was also a ruthless person. He never told his wife that he was unconscious on purpose. It seemed that he was also a ruthless person who could do great things.
