Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 367 Good news one after another, Chang’an City is stable
Chapter 367 Good news one after another, Chang’an City is stable
Li Jing won a great victory and captured Murong Fuyun alive!
The news spread back to Chang'an City, and Chang'an City was shocked!
People were shocked, then excited, and finally so excited that they sang and danced!
At this moment, a sense of national superiority surged into our hearts, and all Tang people felt proud!
"Okay, okay, Li Jing deserves to be Li Jing!"
"Send the order to secretly escort Murong Fuyun back to Chang'an City!"
Li Shimin was very excited.
The stress of many days was completely relaxed at this moment.
It can be said that with such good news, Datang is stable.
No matter whether the four countries jointly conquered the Tang Dynasty or the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were secretly causing trouble, we don’t have to worry about it.
Because the general trend is the trend, all that is left is just the aftermath.
"Yes!"
The scout was so excited that he probably left.
In the court, all the officials looked happy.
The atmosphere in the morning was particularly good and everyone was very happy.
By capturing Murong Fuyun alive, it is understandable that Tuyuhun was destroyed.
As long as the imperial court does not let Murong Fuyun go, then Tuyuhun will become the Tang Dynasty.
The remaining Tuyuhun tribes were swept away by the Fire Gun Army of the Tang Dynasty, leaving no possibility of resistance.
"General Li Jing said in his heart that the main credit goes to the firecrackers!"
"Fang Shangshu, come out!"
Li Shimin laughed.
Look at Fang Yuan who is at the front.
Now, Fang Yuan is the Minister of Household Affairs, and his position has been greatly advanced, almost at the front.
After saying this, the officials present looked at Fang Yuan with envy and admiration, knowing that Fang Yuan was about to get benefits again.
It is sad to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance at such a young age and have the power to sweep through all the countries.
"I'm here!"
Fang Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice.
"You have great merit!"
"I want to promote you to the title of Duke of Kaiguo County in Chang'an County, with a household of 700 households, and to the fourth rank!"
"I will reward you with thousands of taels of gold, hundreds of batches of silk, thousands of colored glazes and other precious items!"
Li Shimin said happily.
Fang Yuan was already the county son before, and if he gets promoted one level further, he will be the county uncle.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the scene was filled with envy, and some even showed jealous eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan smiled happily and saluted Li Shimin.
After accepting the reward, Fang Yuan returned to his original position.
The court meeting continued, and they began to discuss what should be done with Murong Fuyun, how to deal with the territory of Tuyuhun, etc.
With the victory of Li Jing's army, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo, and the conquests of the Three Kingdoms of Tibet, the Tang Dynasty no longer panicked.
Everyone has seen the strength of the fire gun. As long as you master the fire gun well, no country will be in danger. The Tang Dynasty has plenty of strength.
The ministers were talking a lot.
Just as the meeting was about to end, another piece of good news came.
When Qingzhou was pacified, the Tsing Yi Army suffered numerous casualties and was defeated. The rebel leader fell off a cliff and died.
Upon hearing the news, all the officials were excited, their faces turned red with excitement, and they congratulated Li Shimin repeatedly.
"Tell the people of the world that the Tang Dynasty has been decided!"
Li Shimin stood up excitedly.
It is a great joy that external and internal problems are solved at the same time.
Although the biggest problem, the hidden danger of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, has not been completely solved, it is a potential crisis.
People and ordinary people only look at the surface, which are the problems that exist now. They don’t pay that much attention to the potential problems, and they may not even know about them.
Soon, the court meeting will end.
The two pieces of good news were completely released and announced to the world.
Only some well-informed people among the people of Chang'an City knew that the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun.
Therefore, when the imperial court announced these two pieces of news, the people in Chang'an City were completely excited and jumped with joy.
"Awesome, worthy of being a military god!"
"No, I heard it was the result of the firecracker!"
"Yes, the fire blunderbuss is so powerful that Fang Shangshu was made an earl!"
"We in the Tang Dynasty have the blunderbuss. We are still afraid of what other countries will do in the future. We will destroy them all!"
"By the way, the Tang Dynasty treasure banknotes were also launched by Fang Shangshu. It was something he personally led. We don't have to worry about whether we can use it, right?"
People started discussing.
From the beginning of discussing the power of the military god Li Jing, to the discussion of the power of the fire gun.
The discussion started with Huo Zhang, then with Fang Yuan, and finally with Datang Baochao.
With the two huge victories, the originally depressing atmosphere in Chang'an City completely changed, and people were no longer afraid.
There have also been some changes in the use of banknotes. From worry to belief, there are also fewer people to exchange them.
When Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks continued to celebrate Fang Yuan's return.
Fang Yuan's title of earl is the honor of everyone in their Fang family and deserves everyone's happiness.
"Husband, welcome back!"
Du Miaoyan stood at the front to welcome Fang Yuan back.
Now, her belly is a bit big and she is already five months pregnant.
With Sun Simiao, the palace physician, and the midwife selected by Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan's body was normal.
On the other hand, Fang Yuan also established a midwifery department in the medical school, and sincerely invites all midwives to teach and learn there, etc.
We even recruited students, and some young girls joined them to become the new generation of midwives and doctors in the future.
This is a later story.
"Why are everyone waiting for me?"
"Come on, let's go back inside."
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Urging everyone to enter the Fang Mansion.
Outside Fang Mansion, many people looked at Fang Yuan enthusiastically.
They all greeted Fang Yuan spontaneously and came here after they received the good news.
Now Fang Yuan's reputation in Chang'an City has greatly improved, and he can be said to be the best among the younger generation.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others entered the interior of Fang Mansion, where fine wine and food had been prepared and waiting.
Juzi, Sun Simiao and others have returned from the research institute to celebrate Fang Yuan's knighthood.
"Big brother, we can't share except for the title. You can take all the rewards awarded by the emperor to the research institute and reward the members who study the fire gun according to their merits."
Fang Yuan looked at Juzi and said before the banquet started.
The fire gun was not developed by Fang Yuan alone, but Juzi and others also contributed to it.
When you get a title, you can't ignore the people below, otherwise who will work hard for you in the future?
Only by sharing the glory, or the sharing of benefits, can the people below be loyal and work with you.
"It's almost the Lantern Festival. I'll ask the red catkins and green ladies to pick out a few to make clothes for you and Miaoyan, and then take them to the institute?"
Juzi did not agree immediately, but suggested.
The things awarded by the imperial court are all good things that cannot be bought outside.
"No need, we can just buy it if we need it."
Fang Yuan shook his head and rejected Juzi's kindness.
The Fang Mansion was not short of things given by the imperial court, and Du Miaoyan brought a lot.
When Fang Xuanling was still alive, the court rewarded Fang Xuanling and others with many things.
As Fang Xuanling's eldest daughter, Du Miaoyan gave a lot of dowry to Fang's house when she got married.
"Okay, I understand."
"Thank you on behalf of the members of the institute."
The giant nodded heavily.
I am happy for the members of the institute.
If you can work with such a good boss, what else is there to be unhappy about?
"Say this?"
"Come on, let's cheers!"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at Juzi.
Then he raised his glass, looked around at everyone, and started the banquet.
The night passed like this.
In addition to the Fang Mansion celebration tonight, the institute and other places are also celebrating.
At night, Fang Yuan and Juzi took the things rewarded by the imperial court and visited the Fire Gun research members in person.
Naturally, not everyone was visited, but some key figures were visited, and the actions were relatively secretive to avoid being discovered.
Members of the institute generally live in the institute, but there are exceptions, including those who live in Chang'an City, have families, etc.
Therefore, Fang Yuan wants to conceal their identities to prevent them from being discovered and arrested, etc.
However, Fang Yuan thought carefully from the beginning, that is, the division of labor is different.
There is one thing that no one of them is responsible for, so even if they are caught, they will not be able to provide the production plan for the firecracker.
Soon, the night passed like this.
At dawn the next day, there were obviously fewer people queuing up to exchange banknotes.
Fang Yuan canceled all his affairs and went to the bank VIP room early in the morning to wait.
"Issuing a notice: starting from today, large amounts can be exchanged!"
"But you need to apply, provide your name, family, whether anyone in the court is an official and other information. Wait for five days. Once the application is approved, you can redeem a large amount!"
Fang Yuan sat in the office and said in a deep voice.
In front of me are all the managers of the bank, and they should be respectful.
Soon, new news about Huaxia Bank spread.
Because there were few people, people in line got the news quickly.
Some people simply stopped queuing and went back to spread the news and tell their friends.
In less than an hour, someone requested a large amount of exchange and immediately submitted an application to the bank.
In one morning, ten applications were sent to Fang Yuan's hands, and the highest number of applications was for 500,000 yuan exchange.
Five hundred thousand, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.
At the same time, Fang Yuan investigated based on the information left by the other party and felt that the other party's identity was sensitive.
"Keep an eye on these and see if they have anything to do with the Five Surnames and Seven Looks!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
In the afternoon, Fang Yuan was rewarded.
The one with the most exchanges is related to the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Soon, he was brought to Fang Yuan, and his family was also put under surveillance.
"Is that He Jiazhong?"
"Why do you want to cooperate with Qi Wang of the Five Surnames to secretly exchange banknotes?"
Fang Yuan looked at the unattractive young man and said in a deep voice.
"Fang, Mr. Fang, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
The young man named He Jiazhong ducked his eyes and said in a squeaky voice.
"My time is very precious. If you are not willing to recruit, you will not have another chance to recruit."
"Believe me, if I say a word, you will spend your whole life in prison. No one can save you, and even your family will be hit."
"The Fifth Surname Qiwang can cover the sky with one hand outside Chang'an City, but inside Chang'an City, it is still the era of the emperor. Do you think the Fifth Surname Qiwang will make a deal with the emperor because of a little person like you?"
Fang Yuan had no expression on his face and said calmly.
He Jiazhong's background has been investigated clearly and he comes from a little-known family.
There are people in this family in the court, the highest is the sixth rank, which is much different from Fang Yuan.
Although He Jiazhong is still related to Wu Qiwang, given Fang Yuan's status, Wu Qiwang may not be able to save a single person.
"I, I, I said, I said."
He Jiazhong's expression changed many times, and finally he turned pale and said tremblingly.
He understood from Fang Yuan's words that Qi Wang, the fifth surname, really couldn't reach into Chang'an City.
Since they left Chang'an City, Chang'an City has been completely controlled by the imperial court.
If something happens to you, as long as you are in Chang'an City, there is a high probability that Qiwang of the Five Surnames will not save you.
"Say it."
Fang Yuan winked at Stop on the side.
Signaling him to record it in the record and ask He Jiazhong to sign and deposit it later.
"The leader of the Cui clan ordered me to do this."
"He said that no matter how much money is exchanged for seven-star banknotes, I can get 30% of it."
He Jiazhong said tremblingly.
No matter how much you exchange, 30% profit, how cool is it?
As long as people queue up to exchange money, they can get 30% of the income.
The more you exchange, the richer you will be. No one will miss such a good opportunity, right?
However, the bank's policy changed so that only two hundred can be exchanged every day, making it difficult to get money.
Seeing that large amounts could be redeemed today, He Jiazhong came to redeem with the information.
To be cautious, he only exchanged five hundred thousand, but he didn't want this to be noticed.
"Thirty percent is really generous."
"Besides you, is there anyone else?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
Use a pile of waste paper to exchange for cash, and then divide it into three or seven. It is really worthy of the five surnames and seven hopes.
"I, I don't know."
He Jiazhong shook his head and said.
"You don't want to ask me to let you go without any credit, right?"
Fang Yuan glanced at He Jiazhong and sneered.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there were two partners."
"They, they might know there's more."
He Jiazhong patted his head and said with a smile.
"Say."
Fang Yuan only has one character.
He Jiazhong truthfully told the two people.
Soon, under Fang Yuan's command, these two people were captured.
The same small family in Chang'an City is divided into 30-70 like He Jiazhong.
Next, Fang Yuan threatened them and caught three more from the two of them.
In this way, after smooth exploration, Fang Yuan actually caught a total of ten small families cooperating with the five surnames and Qi Wang.
From their previous exchange records, we learned that they and Qiwang of the Five Surnames exchanged a total of more than 7 million at Huaxia Bank.
More than one million of them were recovered, and the remaining six million were taken away from Chang'an City by Qiwang of the fifth surname. There is probably no way to recover them again.
After layers of investigations, it was found that the group of five surnamed Qiwang who stayed in Chang'an City to exchange banknotes was wiped out.
Fang Yuan kept his promise and did not execute them, but he also gave them a heavy punishment - reported to Li Shimin and suspended everyone in their family from official positions.
At this point, the economy of Chang'an City has been stabilized.
But the world's economy has not recovered as fast as Chang'an City.
However, Fang Yuan contacted Tianxia Huaxia Bank according to the method he used in Chang'an City.
All large-amount exchanges require verification of the identity of the other party. If you think there is a problem, please investigate in depth.
Next, it’s time for Li Jing’s army and Li Ke’s army to return to the court.
After several months of war, people everywhere have gained peace.
But also because of the war, many people were displaced.
For example, many people in Qingzhou had their homes destroyed due to the war and were short of food, so they were in need of rescue from the imperial court.
