Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Even if everyone clearly knew that Li Yuan was cheating Chen Ying, they would not stand up to Li Yuan.

Chen Ying looked at You Ziying's bereaved face, and said puzzledly: "Brother You, don't be sad, such a path with 50 cultivation is actually achievable."

You Ziying said: "Brother Chen, don't lie to me. Everyone in Chang'an City has said that His Majesty the Emperor wants to force you to death. Otherwise, Brother Chen, let's not be an official of the Tang Kingdom. Tonight I will On duty, I will be alone in the second half of the night. You pack up. Tonight, leave Chang'an through Tongyangmen, enter Qinling, or flee to Hedong. With Brother Chen's ability, no matter where Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong is, There will also be a fortune..."

Chen Ying thought to himself.It really is a friend in need, You Ziying has hardly had any contact with him for more than half a year, but when the situation came to an end, he was a person who was willing to take the risk of beheading to help him.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt a little ridiculous.

Corvée is a must for national projects, and all the craftsmen used are free labor. The wood does not cost money, and all can be felled, and the charcoal does not cost money. At most, it can be done by digging.If Chen Ying is really asked to control the cost, although it is said that no matter how the cost is controlled, it is not enough to repair this road with 50 yuan, but Chen Ying is sure that this road can be built without paying a penny from the treasury. stand up.

No one is an idiot. Chidao’s transportation advantages are incomparable to ordinary land transportation. Even if the transportation cost is lower, water transportation in Guanzhong has seasons, and water transportation can only be temporarily suspended during dry seasons and winters. It is very accident-prone and the cost is not low.

However, using Chidao to transport goods is not only low-cost, safe, but also fast.The convertible car that Chen Ying tested can carry more than [-] tons is an alternative. If the load capacity of the convertible car is reduced by one-third to reach [-] tons, then eight horses and eight can run at a speed of [-] tons per hour. Kilometers are actually not that difficult.

If there are enough horses to replace along the way, it is really not difficult to run [-] miles a day and a night. At the same time, this kind of gallop can also break the curse that has been formed for thousands of years: "No firewood is sold for a hundred miles, and millet is not sold for a thousand miles. "Destined to become history.

Chen Ying thought of this, patted You Ziying on the shoulder and said, "You go in and rest first, and I will go to the palace."

……

Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui originally thought that Chen Ying would return to Qinglin as soon as he returned to Chang'an, but he didn't expect that after waiting for two days, he still didn't wait for Chen Ying to come, instead he got an inexplicable news.

"Is the news true?" Hou Mo Chen Qianhui still didn't move his eyes away. He felt a little confused about the layout of Chen Ying's manor outside the city.

It doesn't matter if you dig a ditch on the ground, it's for irrigation.However, on the [-] mu of land that Chen Ying bought, there were small ponds, mass graves, forests, and saline-alkali land. It took a lot of effort to build such a canal to irrigate the [-] mu of land. Even Hou Mo Chen Qianhui didn't know whether it was worth it or not.

Yu Qing bowed and said, "Now the major families already know about it, so it shouldn't be fake!"

"Oh!" Although Hou Mo Chen Qianhui came from a family of generals, he is not a layman when it comes to farming. He knows that wheat grows dry land and rice grows paddy fields, which requires high irrigation and drainage conditions for the fields; Season, the consumption of soil power is also large, and the fertilization work must keep up.

There are countless weeds growing in the fields that Chen Ying bought. After burning them, they can be piled up in the fields as good fertilizers.What surprised Hou Mo and Chen Qian was that Liang Zan, the steward of Chen Ying's outer court, had people pile up the weeds that he had cut in a low-lying pond. The overgrown weeds already gave off a pungent stench.

After observing for a long time, Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui discovered that the source of the smell was not actually soaked in water, but the feces and urine of thousands of peasants on the construction site were collected and poured on the weeds.

Actually, Liang Zan didn't know how to accumulate manure either.However, Chen Ying knew that it would take two full years to build Chenjiawu Fort, and within more than two years, the peasants would eat nearly 1000 shi of grain in more than [-] years.If the land can be utilized, even if only one or two stones can be built per mu, Chen Ying can save a lot of cost.

Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui were surprised to find that many small vendors gathered here, some selling needlework, some selling clothes, some selling raw meat, and some set up a grass shed to sell some loose wine and cooked meat. Sometimes I want to buy some meat and wine to relieve my hunger.There are even a few half-covered doors, where straw mats are used to surround a grass shed, and the doors are opened for business.

In the near future, this place will slowly become a grass market, and this grass market will allow Chen Jiabao to buy what he wants without leaving his home.

Seeing that Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui were indifferent to Chen Ying being cheated by Li Yuan, Yu Qing asked very puzzled: "Ah Lang, Wu Lang has encountered a difficult situation this time, if he doesn't help..."

"No need to help, His Majesty's ambition is not here!"

"Isn't that the ambition?" Yu Qing was even more puzzled when he heard this, "What do you mean!"

"Your Majesty is imitating Liu Hou's old wisdom!"

Liuhou naturally refers to Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, and Yu Qing suddenly realized when he heard the words.

Xiang Yu didn't have any scruples about general generals, but he was very worried about Liu Bang. He knew that the most difficult opponent to deal with was Liu Bang.Earlier, it was agreed that whoever captured Xianyang first would be king in Guanzhong. As a result, Liu Bang was the first to enter Xianyang. Guanzhong was the homeland of Qin. There is also a strong foundation. Xiang Yu didn't want Liu Bang to be the king of Guanzhong, and he didn't want him to go home to Zhangpei County, so he deliberately allocated the three counties of Bashu and Hanzhong to Liu Bang, named him King of Han, and made Nanzheng in Hanzhong his capital. .I want to imprison Liu Bang in a remote mountain like this.

Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's strategy. He first burned all the plank roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, and then sent hundreds of soldiers to repair them. , secretly took a small path to attack Chencang.Taking advantage of Zhang Han's unpreparedness, he won the victory. This is called "building the plank road brightly and crossing Chen Cang secretly".

Yu Qing asked: "Could it be that Mingxiu is leading the way and secretly crossing the Yellow River..."

Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui shook his head and said, "It's not Wang Shichong of the Central Plains!"

"That is……"

Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui said: "Liu Wuzhou in the east of the river was newly defeated, and Li Gui in the west of the river proclaimed his vassal to the Turks while marrying Tuyuhun and Tubo. , pointing the sword at King Zheng, secretly crossing the river west, Li Gui will perish."

Chapter 32 Overdraft the World

Chapter 32 Overdraft the World

Chen Ying originally planned to go to the palace to find Li Yuan, but he never expected that Li Xiuning would arrive quietly with He Yue'er just after the carriage was prepared.

The world is big and the wife is the biggest.

Chen Ying didn't have any other thoughts in his mind at this time, so he hurriedly led Li Xiuning into the hall of the Chen residence.

Although Gao Wenjin had never met Li Xiuning, but seeing Chen Ying's flattering attitude towards Li Xiuning, he also knew that Li Xiuning's status was extraordinary.

Gao Wenjin was malnourished for a long time. After entering the Chen Mansion, he had neither food nor clothing. Although he didn't use rouge and gouache and was plain, he had a unique style, just like the person in the painting.

Gao Wenjin obediently served tea for Li Xiuning, and stepped back knowingly.Before Chen Ying had time to open his mouth, he complained about his lovesickness.But seeing Li Xiuning's chin raised, looking at Gao Wenjin's back, he asked, "Who is she?"

No matter how low Chen Ying's EQ was, Li Xiuning's words were full of jealousy.Chen Ying said dumbfoundedly: "Speaking of which, he is also a loyal minister, but unfortunately suffered a lot of crimes."

Chen Ying didn't hide anything, and told Li Xiuning.Telling how he met Gao Wenjin in Tongguan, seeing the Gao family, living a difficult life, he felt compassion, and brought Gao Wenjin, Wenxiu sisters and grandmother back to Chang'an.

Even if Li Xiuning would be jealous, she would never be jealous of Gao Wenjin.

Li Xiuning frowned and said: "Mr. Gao is selfless, and the Gao family is also conscientious. Who is so vicious?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it depends on who has vested interests. After Prime Minister Gao was dismissed, Yang Su paid homage to Prime Minister. The person who wanted to deal with Gao was not Yang Su himself, but also his protégé and old official!"

Li Xiuning nodded approvingly.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's full suit and asked, "Your Excellency, are you going out?"

"Oh!" Chen Ying smiled wryly, "Isn't this going to enter the palace!"

"Jinggong, do you want to ask Father for mercy?" Li Xiuning was originally very nervous about Chen Ying, but after she figured out what was going on, she stopped worrying.However, she didn't think about taking back the money given to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying shook his head: "I'm not begging for mercy, but I want to ask for a special purpose. Let your majesty allow me to run a bank! Since the great cause Sui Zuo declined, the world has been in chaos, the 36th road rebelled against the king, the 72nd road dust and smoke, rushed to the state, attacked the city, and plundered the city. In the final analysis, it is ordinary people who suffer the most. Nowadays, most people in various places don’t even have seeds, let alone plows, hoeing, plowing and other materials. I plan to build a bank, lend money to poor people, and encourage them to develop farming.”

The bank that Chen Ying talked about was actually a bank.In the Tang Dynasty, there were actually Qianzhuang.However, there is no interest on saving money, but a certain amount of storage fees will be reduced, and it cannot be deposited or withdrawn in different places.

The bank that Chen Ying wants to build, although it bears the name of a bank, is actually a bank of later generations. Banks are naturally weak in supporting small loans for farmers, and their real strength lies in supporting the development of industry and commerce.

When there is no bank, the imperial court has [-] guan, and can only do [-] guan. Even if the tax is increased, the increase rate is limited at a time, and the unrestrained tax increase will only arouse the rebellion of the people, and at the same time, it will overdraft The credibility of the court.The demise of every dynasty is actually because the credibility of the court has been overdrawn.

As long as the credibility of the court is still there, even if the country is breached and the emperor is arrested, the country will not perish.For example, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were all for this reason.Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Chi, was captured by Liu Cong. It is said that the Western Jin Dynasty should also perish, but the General of the Fujun Qin Wang Sima Ye was supported by Sikong Xunfan, Yuzhou Governor Yan Ding, Heyin Ling Fu Chang, etc. as emperor.Three years later, Sima Ye was forced to surrender by Liu Yao, and then he was forced to commit suicide.Sima Rui, king of Langya, was supported by Wang Dao, Wang Dun and others as emperor in Jiankang. Later, Wang Dun was dissatisfied with Sima Rui's rejection of him, and raised troops to capture Jiankang.Later, Su Jun and Zu Yue rebelled again, but they were all suppressed.

One dynasty moved the capital three times, and was attacked by the enemy six times, but the dynasty was not destroyed. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is also a miracle in history.Of course, it is because the credibility of the imperial court is still there.The same is true in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, the credibility of the Ming Dynasty was overdrawn by the Donglin Party and eunuchs, so the Ming Dynasty could not be like the Eastern Jin and Southern Song Dynasties, and settled in the southeast.

The only reason Datang was able to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty and realize the revival of the Tang Dynasty during the Suzong period of the Tang Dynasty was to rely on the credibility of the Tang Dynasty.If it weren't for Li Longji's death, which overdraws the credibility of the court, the Tang Dynasty would not be so miserable.

Chen Ying came to this era, and now he has finally figured it out. He has no future for himself as a king.Supporting soldiers’ self-respect was courting death during the period of Tang Taizong, so it is better to develop the bank. As long as the bank is well developed and the scale of the bank can continue to expand, and even develop to the extent of absorbing public deposits, the resources that Chen Ying can use will far exceed limitations of one's own financial resources.

At the same time, holding the economic lifeline of a country, Chen Ying also has an extra amulet on his body.The bank's operation model is thorough, which is why Chen Ying can be called a tiger.

Li Xiuning didn't figure out why Chen Ying wanted to build a bank, but he was very happy that Chen Ying saw through Li Yuan's deception.Li Xiuning said: "Don't worry now, you should practice Chi Dao first, and you can practice as much as you can. Anyway, it is to paralyze Wang Shichong and Li Gui."

Hearing this, Chen Ying finally understood Li Yuan's real intention.
