A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"You're still yelling at a young age, so much so." Niu Jinda sighed.

"If the old man doesn't let Gu Qing send back those two Xuanhua axes in good condition, the Cheng family will fall!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were full of murderous intent as he spoke, which made Niu Jinda tremble with fright.

"Old guy, what are you sharpening your knife for?" Cheng Chumo asked just after returning home.

"You bastard! You're an idiot! One day you'll be sold by Gu Qing and you won't even know it." Cheng Yaojin cursed bitterly.

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo was overjoyed and said: "Old man, your illness is finally cured. I knew that Gu Qing would definitely be able to cure your illness. You started scolding me as soon as I left."

"When did the old man get sick!" Cheng Yaojin pointed to Cheng Chumo and said to Niu Jinda: "Old Niu, look at this stupid guy in my house, I'm afraid the old man won't rest in peace until he dies."

"Okay, okay!" Niu Jinda patted Cheng Yaojin's shoulder, "Although Chu Mo was a little stunned, he still knew the truth, and besides, Gu Qing and your family's Chu Mo are close friends."

"It's not so bad, I'm not good at all, old man." Cheng Chumo said again: "It's just two axes."

Cheng Yaojin sharpened the knife and handed it to Cheng Chumo, saying: "Our family will deposit the money in the bank right now. If that kid Gu Qing doesn't respectfully send the ax, you can kill me with the knife in Gu's house and bring Gu Qing in front of the old man." , hanging at the gate of my Cheng family."

"Baby has to be ordered!" Cheng Chumo replied loudly.

"You see, this is not a very good thing." Niu Jinda said: "It is a matter of mutual benefit to deposit money in the bank. Send the ax back to your Cheng family respectfully, and give you Cheng Yaojin to save face." , isn't that a good thing."

"Lao Niu, has your family's money been deposited in the bank?" Cheng Yaojin asked the starter in a low voice.

"Not yet, I'm not waiting for you to try it first, I'm thinking about it." Niu Jinda grinned and said: "My old cow is more cautious in doing things. The ghost knows where the Qianzhuang is. In case Gu Qing gets involved What if my family's money ran away?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at the sky and fell into deep thought.

A few days later, Gu Qing sat at home and listened to Fan Jian's narration, "Patriarch, the Cheng family has deposited the money in the bank, a total of 50 yuan."

50 guan?The 50 guan is not all of Cheng Yaojin's family property. It can be seen that Cheng Yaojin should only take out part of it, but it can achieve the effect he wants. The 50 guan can be used in the Goguryeo bank in the future, which should be enough. ten years.

"Patriarch, it seems that the Cheng family has indeed shown sincerity this time." Fan Jian said in a low voice.

"What do you think will happen if I don't return the ax to the Cheng family?" Gu Qing whispered.

"Forgive the villain for talking too much, I'm afraid it's not good, and it's not good for Lord Hou's reputation." Fan Jian added in a low voice: "It is said that after Lord Hou left that day, Mr. Cheng sharpened his knife for a long time."

"Sharpen the knife?" Gu Qing thought carefully, "If I don't change it, I'm afraid this old guy will fight me desperately, and I won't take advantage of it when the time comes, but I will be at a disadvantage."

Fan Jian nodded.

"Prepare a carriage, decorate the two big axes, and send them back to Cheng's house with a loud voice, so that everyone in Quan Chang'an will know."

"Patriarch, there is one more thing."

"Say."

Fan Jian said solemnly: "Today, a person went to the palace, who seems to be a Jiangnan businessman."

"Entered the palace?"

"It's true that he entered the palace, but he hasn't come out yet." Fan Jian nodded.

"You return the ax to Cheng Yaojin first. If Jiangnan doesn't fight back, I don't know what to do. Let's wait and see what they do first."

"Yes, let's arrange to return the ax to the Cheng family."

In Chang'an, Li Chengqian received this member of the Jiangnan Xie family standing in the newly renovated Wude Hall.

"Grassman, Xie Lian! Greetings to His Majesty." Xie Lian bowed and said.

Li Chengqian turned to look at this person and said, "At first I didn't want to see you."

Xie Lian knew that Li Chengqian was able to see him because Li Chengqian's imperial concubine helped to deliver the message by the pillow.

Li Chengqian saw that he was still lowering his head and asked: "If you want me to help your Xie family to uphold justice, then you won't have to."

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, right and wrong must be explained by Dali Temple." Xie Lian said.

Listening to his words, Li Chengqian said with a sneer: "Recently, there are a lot of things in the court, and I can't take care of them. If you have any questions, you can ask Di Renjie yourself. The matter falls into the hands of Dali Temple. I believe Di Renjie can do it well."

Wang Jin understood that the Xie family didn't want to suffer from being dumb. If the Xie family planned to compromise like this, they would not come to see Li Chengqian. Xie Lian hoped that Li Chengqian would put pressure on Dali Temple, and Di Renjie was Gu Qing's disciple. The Xie family of Dali Temple must suffer. If Li Chengqian put pressure, the result might be different.

Wang Jin shook his head and sighed. It's a pity that the Xie family didn't know what kind of person Di Renjie was. Di Renjie would not listen to Li Chengqian's words. Over the years, it can be seen that Di Renjie has done many things very well, and Dali Temple also has a good reputation in the market. Di Renjie said that he would investigate this matter carefully. When Xie's family retracted the confession on the spot, Di Renjie didn't intend to let it go. Although Di Renjie was not Li Chengqian's person, Li Chengqian still trusted Di Renjie.

Li Chengqian asked Di Renjie if he had anything to say. I believe that Di Renjie can do a good job. Having said that, Li Chengqian will not interfere with the affairs of Dali Temple, and Di Renjie will deliver a satisfactory result.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Lian said again: "Because of the Xie family's matter, General Cheng Chumo asked to resign. The Xie family felt extremely guilty, and I came here to ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

"You don't want such a thing to happen, I know I don't blame you." Li Chengqian observed the repaired Wude Hall and said.

"Your Majesty!" Xie continued, "There are some things that the grassroots people naturally know the reasons for, and the benefits of the sea trade journey must be known to His Majesty. It's just because of a trivial matter, Xie's family naturally wouldn't say much, but Gu Qing made such a big fuss. Movements and movements, the benefits involved are not small."

"The benefits of the sea trade route are really good." Li Chengqian sat down and said: "At the beginning when Gu Qing opened up the sea trade route, he set the rules with his father, and now the sea trade route has almost been opened up. The results are very good, and the benefits are naturally great, but The sea trade tax is the highest, and the national treasury also has a lot of tax revenue every year because of the sea trade. I also want to thank Gu Qing for reducing the pressure on the financial power of the court. I remember that when my father was enthroned, the life of the court could not be changed at that time. Not having a good time."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wang Jin looked at Xie Lian, his face was livid.

There are some things that not many people know. There was a lot of agreement between Li Shimin and Gu Qing when they opened the sea trade. There is a reason why Li Chengqian was willing to speak for Gu Qing in the sea trade. It alone gave the royal family a lot of benefits. The gold, silver and copper mines sent from the Japanese country are more than ten million every year. Now that the national treasury is full, the Tang Dynasty even has the strength to launch the Western Expedition. Even if it faces the entire West, there is no need to be afraid. This substantial family background is It was laid by Gu Qing's sea trade.

Coupled with several changes in the court, there have been great changes in the Chaotang and Zhenguan years, and now the Ministry of Households can manage merchants indirectly, and the business taxes brought by those businessmen have long exceeded the annual grain. Tax.

If he wanted to shake Gu Qing for the sake of the Xie family, Li Chengqian would not be willing to move Gu Qing in this way in terms of interests. If he moved Gu Qing, he would hurt his own interests, and it was not worth it for the sake of the Xie family.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Chengqian said in a low voice.

Xie Lian said again: "Your Majesty, Gu Qing made such a fuss just for the waterway of the sea trade. If the waterway is in Gu Qing's hands, Gu Qing can control the world's sea trade. In addition to Gu Qing's strength in the Central Plains, the wealth and power of the whole world will fall. In Gu Qing's hands, His Majesty must investigate!"

After listening to this, Li Chengqian was quiet for a long time, then smiled and asked Wang Jin, "Is there such a thing?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Wang Jin bowed and said: "Since its establishment, the Maritime Trade Department has been under the supervision of the court. At the time, Shangguanyi, the official censor, helped His Royal Highness King Jin manage the Maritime Trade Department. Many decisions made by the Maritime Trade Department are actually The three ministers of the DPRK and China are all involved, and the maritime trade transportation is also presided over by the Maritime Trade Department, and the route is also set by the Maritime Trade Department. As for the presidency of the waterway, His Royal Highness Jin Wang began to arrange it as early as the beginning of this year."

"Last month, the Department of Maritime Trade sent a memorial to the Zhongshu Ministry. The Department of Maritime Trade recruited dozens of students in the academy to establish sub-divisions of the Maritime Trade Department in various places. In this matter, Zhong Shuling Chu Suiliang and Shang Shuling Pei Xingjian and Shangguanyi have discussed that the waterway can be presided over by the Department of Maritime Trade, but the state governments must also supervise, restrain each other, and achieve a balance in mutual supervision."

"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The waterway is not in the hands of Gu Qing, but in the hands of the Maritime Trade Department. The young slaves have grown up these years and are about to start a family. After finishing these things, the days of the Ministry of Rites can also be set. .”

Li Chengqian looked at Xie Lian and said: "As for the financial power in the world you said, the financial power in the world will be in the hands of the bank in the future. It is my decision that Gu Qing is now in charge of the bank. Xie Lian, are you questioning my decision?"

"I dare not." Xie Lian did not dare to raise his head.

Li Chengqian walked up to Xie Lian, helped him to stand upright, and said in a low voice: "You are in the south of the Yangtze River, and you don't know the depth of the water in Chang'an. Our royal family and the Gu family will take a hundred years to repair, and there is no relationship between me and Gu Qing." The sword is so tense, I know that you want to use your Jiangnan interests to let me help you deal with Gu Qing, because you also want to control the waterway, but Gu Qing's move frightened you all, so you all tried your best to come to see him I."
