Ignoring those people who seemed to have constipation, Master Wang really wanted to go back after the land was circled and the boundary stakes were laid.
"I've been bothering you for two days, and I'm very grateful for your hospitality. Now that everything has been done, Xi is about to leave, so I say goodbye and you all will stay. When the merchants arrive, I will take care of you, and I hope that I will take care of you..."
Zhao Xi said goodbye with a smile on his face, without any embarrassment at all.
I finally left. His Highness, the Crown Prince, is really deadly. I hope he was just having fun.
Thinking about the barren mountains and ridges, and the bumpy land... He was a benevolent person. He didn't take the cowhide to draw circles on the county's land, which also saved him the trouble of coordinating with the Wuman.
Anyway, this matter is settled.
The three families looked at the sailing shadow in the distance and looked at each other with wry smiles... For a moment, they actually had the idea of unity.
Is it possible? I still have to go back and quarrel with the Dong family...
But what Duan Lianyi was thinking about was: When my sister goes to Bianliang, she wonders if her wish will come true?
The Western Army returned to the court. When Wang Shi entered Rongzhou, the imperial edict arrived, and Di Qing had no choice but to lead his army back to the court.
As for Zhao Xi, even Zhang Fangping was surprised and didn't understand why the court didn't mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's return to the court.
How could it be mentioned? Earlier, when we were still in Dali, all the commanders and envoys sent home letters... The sale of copper mines almost involved most court officials.
The host of this matter was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even the officials missed him very much and were distracted by the excitement of the crowd.
The country is short of copper, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's trip has solved the situation of the country being short of copper... This is the wording on the table, and the basis is quite solid.
Everyone knows in their hearts that each family has its own thoughts, and it is very reasonable for them to put this word on their lips and shout about it.
Even Zhao Zhen, including Cao Shi and Tao Niang, all felt that Zhao Xi should stay on Chengdu Road for some time.
This time Zhao Xi really found a hard job.
This left the task of screening letters with seals to Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen and others. Otherwise, even with only three heads and six arms, he would not be able to do it.
He is making plans and plans for the entire copper mine, including the charter and regulations for the operation of the entire copper mine.
What Zhao Xi needs is not the kind of mining with hammers and sticks here and there. He wants to create a model close to that of large-scale industrial and mining enterprises in later generations.
Therefore, he needs to write a comprehensive copy and let the specific organizers follow it.
"Your Highness, this is a sweep of the entire court!"
Zhang Fangping accompanied me, but the more I read, the more shocked I became, especially the letters written by Lu Gong and compiled by Han Zhen.
This is too huge. His Highness the Crown Prince’s intention... This copper mine is almost like another imperial court.
Those letters cover almost 50% of the families who have been officials for generations since the founding of the dynasty, and 20% of the current officials of fifth rank or above have been in office.
Shocking!
"Bachelor, Xi dares to ask, what is the imperial court?"
This... Zhang Fangping was stunned for a moment. The imperial court is the imperial court, so why should we talk about the imperial court?
"The imperial court is composed of the emperor and his ministers, so the emperor and his ministers are the imperial court. The last time I mentioned the copper mine, the bachelor also said: If the imperial court takes charge of this matter, it may be entangled."
"Now Xi is just changing the way. The royal family, relatives, civil servants, generals, everyone who makes up the imperial court, copper mines are all involved. How is this different from hosting the imperial court?"
That seems to be the case too.
But Zhang Fangping still felt that something was wrong. Could it be because some military generals were involved? No, if it is true as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, there are military generals in the court, and they were also on duty in the civil and military affairs.
What is wrong? It’s the dominance!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion is that this is the imperial court. But Zhang Fangping knows that if there is a dispute in the imperial court, it is a real dispute and can cause a huge quarrel in the court.
But copper mines can be taken away if they go against the general principles and trends. With this alone, His Highness the Crown Prince has already taken control of most of his ministers.
Under the current system of the dynasty, demotion and promotion have become commonplace for scholar-bureaucrats, and no one cares about them at all.
It is also because of this that the ministers and servants dare to criticize the official family and the husband unscrupulously, and even go so far as to make excuses.
What happens next? Being a copper miner is not a position. After being deprived of it, it is difficult to renew it. No matter how disdainful they are of property, what they really care about in their hearts is property.
With the gimmick of copper mine, it means that every minister will think carefully when facing His Highness the Crown Prince...
Your Highness, are you... Zhang Fangping is really shocked.
Whether it was from hearing or personal experience, Zhang Fangping knew His Highness the Crown Prince's intelligence and agreed that His Highness the Crown Prince had the qualifications to be an emperor for eternity.
However, even before he inherited the throne, he had already manipulated many ministers.
"Your Highness, most of the princes in the court are sincere in their service to the public. Do not use sharp blades to hurt your loyalty!"
There really are no simple characters. As soon as Zhang Fangping said these words, Zhao Xi knew that people had seen through his tricks.
"Xijing is taught!"
Zhao Xi stood up and saluted Zhang Fangping respectfully.
Zhang Fangping's words meant that he was only an insider and had no intention of revealing anything.
"Bachelor, Xi has no evil intentions. This behavior is actually a dilemma for the country's coins. As for the extended meaning, it is not Xi's original intention. Besides, it is said to be against the general trend of justice. Bachelor, rest assured. Unless it is a last resort or a heinous crime, Xi will not do it.
Of."
Hope so.
In fact, Zhang Fangping also thought that the arrow on the string is the most threatening. The arrow has already set its target and no longer has the basis to control people.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince, does not use this method, which is the most deterrent.
I just hope that the profits from this copper mine will not cause my colleagues to lose their character and stance!
Zhang Fangping was very depressed and went back to the back hall to care for himself. He had to organize his thoughts and consider his future career.
Facing such a monster emperor, the pressure of being a minister is very high.
It's no use thinking too much, Zhang Fangping still can't get rid of such mundane things as wealth... There is no way, he can't regret it, his seal has been lost, and it has been included in the directory by Uncle Lu Jie.
That's it! The court is like this anyway, so there's no need for me to be pretentious.
The so-called difference is that he is an insider, and this is not the honesty of His Royal Highness to himself.
No matter, on the same boat, I might still be a ferryman.
Zhang Fangping is indeed an upright person. The day after communicating with Zhao Xi, he got involved again without any impact.
Zhao Xi was a little worried. He was really worried that this stubborn man would expose this trick in him, thus making his plan aborted, and ultimately the hard work of going deep into Dali would be wasted.
Fortunately, this old man is pretty good.
What else can be done? Zhang Fangping, who works at Chengdu Road, is the one who feels the current situation of copper shortage in the country the most.
In order to solve the copper shortage in the country, everything else can be put aside.
I think the princes who came to the court may not understand the thoughts of His Highness the Crown Prince... It is inevitable that His Highness will inherit the throne. The emperor already has the right to manipulate his ministers, so it doesn't matter if there is one more.
The key is that from now on, the country may not be short of copper.
