Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 147 Brother, I think.
In the mansion of Minister Changsun Wuji on the east side of the East Palace, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui gathered together.

The sad look on his head gave people the idea of ​​staying away from him.

On the counter table, there were foods unique to the Tang Dynasty, paired with extremely expensive gray wine. Changsun Wuji had invested a lot of money today, and if he didn't want to spend the money, he couldn't help it.

"Then Qin Chao has the ability to make His Majesty's bewitched mind dizzy. You two, what should I do?" Changsun Wuji picked up the wine bowl and poured it in one gulp. But Changsun Wuji didn't care.

"The two of you haven't seen the so-called plan. If you two saw it, you'd probably be bewitched by that kid." Fang Xuanling took a sip of his wine, smiled wryly and shook his head. road.

Du Ruhui was a little startled. Although Fang Xuanling couldn't make up his mind about many things, he still needed Du Ruhui's help in making judgments. Otherwise, the idiom "Fang Mou and Du Jue" would not be left in history, but there is no doubt that Fang Xuanling's ability is There is no problem, and with Fang Xuanling's attitude, he was probably also bewitched by that kid.

"Xuanling, what exactly is said in the plan?"

"Ten miles long from east to west, nine miles wide from north to south, a total of more than forty miles long, five feet high, and three feet wide. The defense is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer can use spears and guns to push down the enemy's siege ladder. Attack, the crenels are only as big as a human head, and there are crenels every two feet. The distance between the city wall and the existing city wall is 100 feet wide. The city gate can just let the enemy into the city, and the two walls are pinched inside and outside, and the enemy who enters the city will have no way out. And such a fortification only needs [-] million guns." Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't really believe in this proposal.

The planning and everything are reasonable and eye-catching, but Fang Xuanling can't believe the cost.

Even the existing city wall is difficult to build with 100 million walls, let alone a taller and stronger new city wall.

'hiss……'

Du Ruhui gasped involuntarily, such a large-scale fortification only needed a million guns?
"If the city wall can be built at this price, it will be worth it." After the shock, Du Ruhui couldn't help but judge.

"Don't say 100 million guan. At this moment, the court may not even be able to come up with [-] guan." Changsun Wuji scolded.

Some things they know well, but dare not say.

How did Li Shimin get the throne?Everyone knows that what Li Shimin should do most now is to appease the people, the ministers, and the aristocratic families.

Although the construction of the city wall seems to be beneficial for thousands of years, it is actually not the most urgent thing at the moment. Even if it is to be built, it should focus on the northern border city instead of strengthening Chang'an, which basically poses no threat. .

"But His Majesty is very hot now, what can we do?" Fang Xuanling glanced at Changsun Wuji helplessly.

How could he not know the truth?But Li Shimin's mind has been made up, the confidant ministers who have never dared to accept advice from Li Shimin, the only thing they can do is to support Li Shimin, and then try their best to remove all obstacles.

"I can't wait to say much about this matter, but someone is more suitable..." Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"You mean?" Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of someone.

Du Ruhui nodded lightly, confirming Changsun Wuji's guess.

It's not that they don't support the construction of the city, but that it should not be built during this time period. If this plan is proposed next year, the ministers below will not dare to have too many objections.

"Didn't that kid Qin Chao set up a bank? The money for the future construction of the city wall will basically come from here. Presumably the two of you have already received Cheng Zhijie's letter. What are your plans?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

"We can all afford this money, but that kid has limited the number of places, he's really cunning." Changsun Wuji scolded with a wisp of beard.

"Why don't the three of us take part in a share? The right is to support the future plans of the imperial court." Du Ruhui continued.

Five thousand guan, this is not a small amount. Although the method Qin Chao came up with will weaken their interests, it also shares their risks. Said, is undoubtedly the best way.

"This old man has exactly this intention. This kid is very shrewd. He knows how to get some backers every time. He is really a genius." Changsun Wuji said.

"A backer is a backer, and it's also a sharp knife hanging over Qin Chao's head. If he wants to monopolize the fifth-tier shares, it depends on whether he can swallow it." Du Ruhui said meaningfully.

Qin Chao is so shrewd that sometimes Du Ruhui wonders if this guy is out of his mind?

Does it really need to be so troublesome to set up a bank?Among other things, if you just recruit Cheng Zhijie, no one in Chang'an city would dare to trouble him, otherwise Cheng Zhijie would teach that person how to behave every minute.

If you feel that a Cheng Zhijie is not safe, you can recruit Niu Jinda who also has a good relationship with him, or give [-]% of the shares to Empress Changsun. With such a background, even the emperor can't touch him easily.

What's more, Qin Chao's establishment of a bank was approved by the emperor. Who would dare to trouble him if he didn't open his eyes?
But Qin Chao came up with such a complicated set of methods. New nobles, powerful families, and wealthy merchants, these people can certainly bring benefits to the operation of the bank, but they also pose a greater threat. So many His eyes will stare at the bank from time to time, with such a huge pressure on him, if he loses, what will be the consequence?
Did Qin Chao really not think about the consequences?I must have thought about it, but why did he do this again?
Du Ruhui felt that he couldn't see Qin Chao clearly. He was both shrewd and stupid, but he couldn't find any examples to make inferences.

"Hehe, this kid, we don't need to guess too much, and it's useless to guess..." Zhangsun Wuji said with an embarrassed smile.

He had the most contact with Qin Chao, and he had absolutely nothing to say about his feelings for that kid, mainly because he didn't know how to say it.

……

"What? Your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the city of Chang'an?" Wei Zheng was shocked when he heard that Li Shimin intended to build the city of Chang'an. He stared at his servant with wide eyes.

"The servant girl only heard what people said, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Please tell me the reason of the matter carefully." Wei Zheng thinks that this matter is not false, and the rumors in the market are basically groundless. Could it be that His Majesty really has such an idea?

The servant told Wei Zheng all the rumors he heard, and Wei Zheng on the opposite side became more serious the more he listened.

This is absolutely true, what is cement?Even Wei Zheng didn't know, so how could the rumors know?Moreover, he also had a relationship with Qin Chao. With Wei Zheng's shrewdness, how could he fail to see the mystery of this?
