Last autumn, there was a bumper harvest in Guanzhong. The imperial court implemented the method of buying grains in Guanzhong and purchased the grain in Guanzhong at a market price that was 20 to 30% higher than the market price for the palace and the border defense of the northwest states.
A large amount of silk and silk from the south of the Yangtze River were distributed to the people in Guanzhong in the form of Hebian.
A slight change in the form of wealth resulted in temporary prosperity. During the New Year this year, an especially large number of people came to Chang'an City to buy new year's goods, and business was particularly prosperous.
One of the functions of Hebian is to increase the amount of circulating currency at the social level. People with silk in their hands will go to surrounding markets to buy daily necessities. This is good for revitalizing the economy.
Of course, if you only look at the bright side, it is indeed the case.
In view of the fact that he was about to go to Lingzhou to meet the alliance, he needed a good luck and make the people of Chang'an happy. Therefore, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, announced that he would hold a big banquet for three days. He showed a rare kindness: the cost of this big banquet
, all expenditures are from the internal treasury and are not allocated to the local government in Gyeonggi Province.
The universal celebration of Dayu was not given in vain. Li Longji had his own profound considerations.
Forming an alliance with the Tiele tribes on the grassland was a great achievement comparable to that of Taizong.
Brother Ji believes that his martial arts skills are comparable to those of Taizong, and he has no shortcomings.
It is necessary to take advantage of this alliance to raise one's reputation to an unprecedented level. From now on, when people talk about the Tang Dynasty, Taizong will be first and he will be second. It is so beautiful that I have no regrets in this life.
Since there is no market for low-interest loans and they are even active here, why can they borrow money from the local garrison? They have to force Li Longji to disguise themselves as horse bandits and intercept caravans outside the desert, right?
I had thought that once Doulujun's memorial was handed over, if Lai Yi opened his eyes, our yamen would be tricked into grandma's house!
Wang Sili, who had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lai Yimao, with shock in his heart and confusion on his face.
Later, Lai Yi Mao, the governor of Lai Yi and the military envoy of Lai Yi Mao, was imprisoned for crimes, so he took over my post as military envoy."
"It's really necessary."
You need to think of ways to get enough food and fodder yourself.
"Does General Wang also know your father-in-law?"
Doulujun said with a helpless expression.
"Is Li Longji's envoy to Shazhou a false position?"
Seeing my expression, Lai Yimao's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously: "Douluo Ambassador, do you think there is nothing wrong? He took up a military position in his prime years, but he is really worried. There is nothing wrong, please dou Lu
Envoy Lu must make it clear that this must be delaying Envoy Doulu’s daily military affairs.”
Wang Sili guessed that Li Longji's Shazhou envoy was probably just "invented" by the imperial court. Once appointed by the imperial court, it had no seriousness and could be treated lightly.
Wang Sili nodded numbly, and was still thinking about what the unit "Shuo" meant. The bad image was commonly used in Dunhuang, so I guessed it was different from "Shi".
The courtiers with keen senses of smell smelled meaningful information from that reign name.
There is a saying that whether something is bad or not is bad. People who think it is bad are just borrowing it.
Doulujun touched his head and said, "I don't mean it in a bad way."
"By the way, the Shazhou envoy's office is also in Yaoquan, which saves him a lot of trouble."
Wang Huailiang issued the edict on the last day after the central government took annual leave. What needs to be said about what he wants to do?
To let such a young child lend money at low interest rates...is an unscrupulous act! Even Doulujun's dignified daughter felt ashamed.
If you can keep Dunhuang, keep Brother Ji under Xiao Tang's firm control, and ensure the smoothness of the Silk Road, you can just take care of the local needs yourself!
"Fang Shijun is really a wonderful person."
Wang Sili nodded slightly and said.
Doulujun comforted Lai Yimao and said.
"Fang Chongyong doesn't know anything. Li Longji's Shazhou envoy is very similar to Shazhou envoys elsewhere. In fact, that is a rather bad term."
"The problem is not Fang Chongyong, but someone who is confused. Two days later, someone wrote to the court asking for instructions to add a Shazhou envoy to Lai Yimao. Why did Fang Chongyong produce the court document today?
From then on, all military affairs were handled by Li Longji's envoy Fang Zhijun, and I also knew that the envoy came there for that purpose."
The imperial court only gave me an establishment of 7,800 people. The other 8,700 people I had over-staffed required the local government and the garrison to find a way. Those people had to eat horse chews, and the army rations alone were a huge number.
Among those who borrowed money, there were many small households who borrowed grain worth hundreds of dollars, and the number of people escorted each time was less than a hundred. If Li Longji had sent someone to keep an eye on it, it would be inevitable that these desperadoes would have some evil thoughts."
…
Well, Wang Sili didn't have a bad feeling in his heart.
Since there are no over-staffed ones, there are naturally no free-rate ones. Those must be adjusted by the border town according to local needs.
When the imperial court appointed Lai Yimao as the "Shazhou envoy", it didn't even think about those messy things. It just "transplanted" the Shazhou envoy from the Chishui Army. It was thought that Li Longji was too big and there might be something wrong with him.
Local small businesses are also afraid that no one will pay their debts, but Li Longji is afraid of who owes money. The knife in your hand is very slow."
Suddenly, Doulujun, who had been talking, frowned slightly, as if he thought of something appropriate.
At this time, I determined to create a new era with my own profound imprint.
So everyone wanted to borrow it, so why did they ask Li Longji to borrow it?
The seven states in Hexi are more concentrated in the east than in the west, and the troops are mainly concentrated in Liangzhou. But when it comes to daily chores, Li Longji has the least responsibility. The establishment of less than 7,000 people has to defend the city, patrol daily, and escort small merchants.
It’s really enough for the team to go out of customs.”
After working hard for half a life, can I still listen to singing and watch dancing?
"By the way, then you can arrange for seven hundred cavalry to camp far away from the medicine spring and give him a hand.
After organizing a conversation in his mind, Wang Sili asked Doulujun loudly: "Li Longji is playing like this, and the court just doesn't care about it?"
Without Li Linfu here, Lai Yi's edict would basically have been rebuffed.
How to get back on track, how to correct all the deviant things and social trends since Wu and Zhou Dynasty, are like a small mountain in front of Lai Yimao.
"Luocheng is a mixed bag. There are too few military rations and silks, and the warehouses are always visited by thieves. Only a thief can spend a thousand days, and there is no way to guard against thieves.
"It's because Li Longji's establishment was too large and could be used occasionally, so the local Lai Yimao standing army is not yet below 1,700 people.
Doulujun didn't mention it.
Less than 10% overstaffing?
It's all about survival!
“Since it’s a loan, you have to find a small household in a big city.
"How can this be a false position? From now on, Lai Yimao will be in charge of Zhongsi Cao. You see that Si Cao's official position is too big, he is still an official, and there are few small households in the local area. I am afraid that he will sell face, so he asked the court for instructions.
Establish a special Shazhou envoy.
Wang Sili's whole person was broken.
"Does this sound bad?"
Lai Yimao nodded and waited until he took over the low-interest loan business.
"Of course, XX is the Doulu Army, and he was promoted by General Wang to serve as Li Longji's military envoy. When General Wang came to Hexi, he took XX with him, and XX was placed in Li Longji.
If appointed by the imperial court, the appointment will automatically take effect.
Wang Sili had the idea of going to the capital.
"That's not bad."
Seeing Wang Sili's humble appearance, Doulujun laughed and laughed, waved his hand, and explained with confusion:
Next, Lai Yimao had to go to the Ji Gefu Yamen in Dacheng City and the Buddhist temple in Yaoquan. There was no one in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette. Wang Sili had to go there to handle the handover. From now on, within seven years at most, in
After the court sent someone to replace me, I had to take care of the stone Buddhas and murals in the Modi Grottoes.
And now the name of the year has been changed to "Tianbao", which is understandably bad.
Doulujun said to Wang Sili apologetically.
Wang Sili's expression was intense, but his heart was still as calm as a boiling kettle.
On the last day after all the officials took a rest, Wang Jun issued an imperial edict. It was very long, and Xiao Zhi’s meaning was also very clear:
To a certain extent, Lai Yi did it, and even did it wrong.
Still silence is golden and talking more is better than bad.
The good news is that I have been appointed as the head of an official low-interest loan and above-ground bank.
There is no saying in Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" that "there are treasures in the sky, but the dragon's light shoots down the bulls in a fight". I think today's Xiaotang is not worthy of that sentence. At this time, the harvest will be plentiful, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and all nations will come to court.
On this occasion, the year name "Kaiyuan" is changed to "Tianbao". May your little Tang Dynasty be a treasure of heaven and earth for generations to come, and be immortal forever.
That... doesn't make sense at all.
I never thought it would turn out like that.”
What Wang Sili and Doulujun knew was that in order to combat the arrogance of the Tibetan people, in the coldest month of winter, when the climate conditions were most favorable to the Tang army, Hexi Jiedu envoy Xiao Jiong and Longzuo Jiedu envoy Du Hope, seven people
Together, they gathered nearly 100,000 troops and launched a small-scale counterattack against the Tubo people in the Hehuang Valley from two directions!
That's just a local survival strategy in Jige. Rare treasures from the Western Regions are often sold to Chang'an for less than ten times the profit. Those outside are those who are greedy for money.
"Is there so few super staff?"
There is a small lake next to the medicine spring, and there are few fields and granaries around it. The other side is surrounded by mountains and sandy soil, and only one side is roadless. Even if no one is looking to steal, they can run away, which is to prevent Li
LONGi's internal supervision is self-defeating.
"Hahahahahaha, it turns out he is General Wang's son-in-law. Fang Chongyong has really done nothing for many years!"
It was so difficult for the military envoy to come, so I felt at ease inside and outside my heart!
Anyway, this Waililuo City is on the tenth outer road, so there is no problem."
"The regiment training officer under Fang Chongyong rarely does this. Although the local people in Ji Ge are strong and strong, there are indeed no separatist troops."
At least during those seven years, I could make a "report" and return to Chang'an.
But it’s not a complete if, it’s just that I know.
Wang Zhongsi’s connections are so extensive!
The harvest from today’s trip is really subtle.
The three-day stay in Dayou, Chang'an, was also to build momentum. The money was well spent, and it was all spent on himself, so Wang Jun felt distressed at all.
Don't be afraid of losing if you go to the gambling table, and don't be afraid of low interest rates if you borrow low-interest loans. These are all things that only those who are willing to take the bait will take!
Wang Sili didn't know what to say yet, so I could only listen to Doulujun's explanation first.
In the small hall of Li Longji's military mansion in the center of Luocheng, Dunhuang County, Wang Sili, a tall and bearded man, was looking at the letter of appointment that I handed over attentively. He seemed satisfied, haha.
Small smile.
Does the imperial court know about similar rubbish things or does it? That question is a bad idea.
"Li Longji, you have to protect the trade routes in the Western Regions. Guarding small caravans is also one of the daily military duties. If you can maintain the local order in Dunhuang, who will take Xiao Tang seriously?
At that time, anyone who jumped out to praise would be beaten to death.
At this time, Xiao Tang was struggling to escape from a series of violent strife and changes at the lower levels, like a patient recovering from a minor illness.
Bad news, the local military envoy is a direct descendant of his father-in-law.
Lai Yimao finally told Wang Sili some bad news.
Even if they knew about it, the imperial court would definitely turn a blind eye to it and only ask Xiaolue to pay attention to the details.
Hearing that, Doulu Jun was startled, then he spread his hands and asked: "There are no precious treasures from the Western Regions. The locals in Dunhuang want to buy them but have no cash. What if we need to find someone to lend money? Then we will give those rare treasures to others."
The goods are resold to Chang'an?"
Dunhuang, the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, has become the most popular place in the surrounding area.
Moreover, in border towns, Li Longji's military envoy could not "guest star" as Ji Ge's governor in emergency situations. Very rarely, the seven positions would be held by one person.
This face is so disgusting that it has not yet been written on the edict!
To put it bluntly, does Wang Jun think that he has not finished what he can do and now it is time to enjoy it?
The center of the imperial court in the feudal era always had too low expectations for us!
Of course, that was just my first stop.
Wang Sili was thoughtful and asked doubtfully: "Why are you in Luocheng?"
"Li Longji only has over 7,800 people. He should need an envoy from Shazhou, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Fang Chongyong's Lai Yishi is just complying with the demand, it is really a small mountain. It must be really embarrassing for you. The next memorial will ask the court to change
There is no harm in being a human being. It will only affect the envoy's reputation."
Lai Yimao asked doubtfully.
Wang Sili asked without any guilt.
Having said that, "acting on behalf of others" is a fool's errand, but it is possible to do the job that has been properly appointed.
That's why I thought about it and took the lead in reporting to Li Longji's Military Mansion on the seventh day.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty kept silent and acquiesced in the "property" of the edict.
The "Shazhou envoy" who has no Dunhuang characteristics should correspond to the local "Yingtian envoy", and it is wrong to call him "Yingqian envoy".
Lai Yimao chuckled.
At present, Fang Yameni is not in a state of chaos, and I am afraid that the Wang Army will cause another mischief.
Wang Sili smiled bitterly and sighed. That man was convicted, which caused a series of bad things.
"Well, there are less bad things to say. Beijing debt, discount money, etc. are all fine. Anyway, we don't put the cloth out. We collect grain or cloth and come back, borrow one and pay back seven...it's less of a difference."
Doulujun tilted his head, daring to look at Wang Sili.
The account book of Xiaotang Central Military Department is one account, and the account book of the local government is another account. These are unspoken rules. If you see through them, you will tell them.
Wang Jun is really willful on horseback.
"Plant" money among the locals in Dunhuang, and then cut off their heads like leeks.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the central officials in Chang'an City felt as if they had eaten flies, but they were too embarrassed to "hard-core" the emperor in such a big event.
Wang Sili didn't understand why Lai Yimao set up a separate Shazhou envoy among Li Longji.
But it was appointed by the imperial court and could be changed. But why did the imperial court appoint it like that?
Wang Sili is now "the governor of Daijige", but he has not "removed the rites department member Lilang".
Doulujun looked around, pulled Wang Sili to a place where there were people, and complained loudly:
Wang Sili believed that Lai Yi might be afraid that he would be bullied in the border town, so he deliberately added a small number of useless positions that could help him get in no matter what.
The so-called "Kaiyuan" means opening up a new era and symbolizing efforts to govern.
Everyone said that Wang Sili's current appointment as governor is just a guest appearance, and the problem of me being in charge is small, because the local governor does not have Sima and Changshi. In the emergency situation where the governor is unable to take charge of the affairs due to various reasons, in fact, it is
Represented by one of those two.
Before the Xiayuan Festival next year, it will be the first year of Tianbao, and the seventy-fourth year of Kaiyuan will be the first year of the Kaiyuan era.
