I have a backstage in Datang

But what she said first was not private property!

I saw Zhaoning stepping forward again, with a look of reminiscence on her pretty face, and said softly: "The three months I hid in Qinling Mountains were the three months I, Li Xiuning, spent the most hesitant, but when I led the group of people out of the mountains of Qinling Mountains, Since then, there has been no wandering Li Xiuning in this world..."

"Countless battle formations have sharpened me."

"The hope of the people rests on their shoulders."

"In that kind of great responsibility, it seems that God is also blessing me. When I meet the mountains, there must be a way, and when I meet the water, I must see the bridge. The smoothness is amazing."

"As for the group of people I lead, the weapons in their hands are only hoes, but they can fight more and more bravely, and become extremely brave fighters almost overnight..."

When Zhaoning said this, the reminiscence on his face gradually turned into pride, and his voice suddenly became louder, bursting out with an inexplicable momentum.

She said loudly: "At that time, at the end of the 17th year of the Sui Dynasty's great cause, we finally built the first city after we came out of the mountains. After the war, we counted and counted, and we got more than [-] acres of land."

Five thousand acres?

Not much!

But that was the first property laid down by a weak woman leading the ragged people with a hoe in the troubled times.

At this time, someone in the main hall spoke softly, and said with emotion: "We all know that battle, it was the first battle in which the Datang Women's Army showed its prominence. But at that time, we didn't know at all that leading the people to win that battle It turned out to be a woman fighting."

Another person followed suit, but his focus was on another thing Zhaoning said.

I saw this adult with a thoughtful look on his face, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Have you noticed that the princess seems to be deliberately talking about the five thousand acres of land... It seems that she is recalling the past, but she is actually talking about the past. It is a military exploit. But we all know that the princess is not a person who likes to show off."

Huh?

Hearing what he said, everyone found that it was true.

Suddenly, several ministers in the court spoke at the same time, blurting out almost in unison: "I understand, the princess's real intention is to talk about fiefdoms. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor bestowed rewards on all the children. It was said that Princess Pingyang has made great achievements. Divide the land in half."

"When the Supreme Emperor said that sentence, it was obviously a joke when his heart was surging. However, because the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty respected the princess, no one stood up to refute it."

"So, that joke has come true. The court and household department directly compiled the book, which really recorded the land that the princess laid down."

"That also means that half of the land that the princess lays down is her private property by the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The entire court hall was suddenly silent.

Everyone was stupefied!

After a long time, I heard someone startled and muttered: "If you really want to calculate it like this, the land under the name of the princess is really too much. Back then, the Detachment of Women was able to fight well, and at least half of Guanzhong was conquered. In addition, there is also Shanxi Four or five counties in the country, as well as a dozen states in Hebei Road..."

The man gasped subconsciously, and said with a blank face: "I don't know if I don't say it, but I'm shocked when I say it. According to the records of the Ministry of Households, half of these places belong to the princess's private property. My old man God, this, this, this..."

"There must be tens of millions of acres of land!"

Someone next to him spoke slowly, with an indescribable shock in his tone.

At this time, another person spoke and said with deep meaning: "Although those lands were compiled into the princess's private property at the beginning, no one has paid attention to it for so many years, and even the princess herself has never mentioned this matter. thing."

"Maybe it's because in the princess' heart, those lands were originally used to raise the people. So she never mentioned it, and never asked for it..."

"but!"

The minister suddenly looked serious, and said loudly with a solemn face: "But the facts are facts after all, and they can't be changed no matter how many years have passed. According to the books compiled by the Ministry of Households, these lands are all the princess's private property. The princess has never asked for it for many years. , because she has a big heart. But when she wants to ask for it, no one has the right to stop it."

The entire court hall was filled with a strange atmosphere.

why?

the reason is simple.

Back then, Li Xiuning made great achievements in battle. He led the Women's Army to fight in the north and south. Although they conquered many places, they didn't stay in those places for long.

As for the territories she laid down, they were handed over to the faction that the Li family belonged to. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those lands became official property...

Official property is in the hands of the government.

And what is the government composed of?They are officials from various families!

They are in charge of huge government property, how can there be no interests in it?Even if you don't go to deliberate corruption and interception, just passing the oil and water is enough to eat and drink.

Both the court and the military benefited from this matter, and I didn't feel that it was wrong from the beginning to the end. After all, it was official property. How could an official not get it?Unspoken rules have been formed throughout the dynasties, even the emperor can only turn a blind eye.If officials are not allowed to reap some benefits, who is willing to do errands with all their heart?

Therefore, it is an unspoken rule throughout the ages that official property can be used for profit.

However, now official property has become private property.

……

There was silence in the hall for a long while, and finally someone couldn't help it. I saw this person bowed his hands to Zhaoning, his eyes flickered with a probing color, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Princess Pingyang, how to solve this matter."

He didn't wait for Zhaoning to open his mouth, and immediately said: "We admit that the land back then was your private property, but due to many historical reasons, these lands were in the hands of the government. And the grassroots officials of the government have various backgrounds, almost It covers every family present here today... For example, some officials are from aristocratic families, and some are vassals of the Tiance Mansion line. This also means that we all got money from your private property Good thing. What does the princess think about this matter."

This person's probing words were obviously on the minds of all the officials in the hall, so when he asked these words, almost everyone present looked at Li Xiuning.

Everyone's face is very dignified.

Everyone has anxiety in their hearts.

Even the emperor Li Shimin seemed tense at this moment, and suddenly said something softly, and said to Zhaoning with deep meaning: "Sister Pingyang, the past cannot be lost."

The emperor was hinting at Zhaoning that this matter should not be pursued with great fanfare, otherwise the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty would not be lost, and all of them belonged to those who needed to be investigated.

If we really want to make that kind of situation happen, there will inevitably be a lot of resentment.

……

Fortunately, everyone's worries were all unnecessary.

I saw Zhaoning smiled slightly, and said in a faint voice: "As your majesty said, the past cannot be pursued. Although the private property of the palace has been taken advantage of by you, there are historical reasons behind this matter. Therefore, I Li Xiuning doesn't chase after..."

Everyone in the hall was overjoyed.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard Zhaoning's voice become serious, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to chase after the past, for example, no matter how much benefit you have made from my private property, this princess can think that the It was caused by historical reasons. But starting today, I have made a clear statement, if anyone wants to make trouble, then don't blame me, Li Xiuning, for being ruthless."

The atmosphere in the hall visibly froze.

Suddenly someone stood up, unexpectedly it was Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County.

I saw the first prince with deep meaning on his face, and smoothed things out with a smile: "Sister Pingyang, don't scare everyone, in fact, we all know that there is no way to take back all your private property. The territory you laid down back then is too big Yes, too much land was entrusted to you by the Supreme Emperor's joke... Guanzhong has your land, Shanxi has your land, Henan has your land, and Hebei also has your land."

"Your private property covers such a wide area that you can't manage it even if you take it back, can you?"

"Now that you are married, your husband's family is Youyun Gu's. For you, this is your home. The reason why you suddenly brought up those private properties in the past is nothing more than to take advantage of today to make a break with everyone. right?"

"Today is the morning government discussion. It is reasonable not to talk about those things that are dark under the lights, but whether it is His Majesty, or the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, in fact, everyone is well aware that certain things that cannot be brought to the table have always existed."

"For example, your private property has been treated as government property for more than ten years, and in the process of handling it, everyone is reaching out to get oil and water."

"I made money in the past, and I will definitely make money in the future. The so-called man-made money and dead birds die for food. If you don't reach out to make money, there will be problems, right?"

"Since everyone still wants to make money, let's talk about the price. From today on, your private properties will be sold to the court, making them real official properties belonging to the government offices of various places in the Tang Dynasty. This will be a compensation for you. For everyone present, it is to eliminate worries, as for whether anyone will be arrested for corruption in the years to come, it depends on whether the Tang Dynasty will have such strength in the future."

When Li Xiaogong said this, he paused for a while, and suddenly looked at everyone in the court hall, his tone suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, express your attitude. No one present today is a fool. Everyone knows this kind of thing well. Although I just said that Princess Pingyang should sell the private property to the court, but you don't really think that the court will pay the money... If you want to continue to control those private properties, you have to spit it out part of the interest."

There was silence in the hall at first.

Then I saw someone stand up.

Surprisingly, it was Cheng Yaojin, who was the first to bow his hands towards Zhaoning, saluted solemnly and asked, "May I ask what price the princess wants?"

After finishing speaking, he just explained in detail, and said solemnly: "In the third year of Wude, the princess led the troops to conquer Guanlong Lantian. Afterwards, you led the troops to continue to fight elsewhere, and Lantian County was handed over to Tiance Mansion. At that time The person in charge of taking over, everyone knows that I am Cheng Zhijie. And since then, the Cheng family has been in charge of Lantian."

"Our old Cheng doesn't shy away from this matter. The Cheng family has been taking advantage of Lantian County. They have made money in the past, and they want to make money in the future. Although the Cheng family will not deliberately corrupt, it is a good profit to pass the money. Therefore, we The Cheng family is willing to spend money to buy the future control right."

Zhaoning smiled slightly, nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"

Old Cheng looked serious, and cupped his hands again and said, "The official property of Lantian County is [-] mu in total. According to the original award from the Supreme Emperor, half of it should belong to the princess, that is to say, there are [-] mu. But I don't know if the princess is going to take What price is it, even if my Cheng family sells it all, I will get it all for you."

Zhaoning seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "Lantian belongs to Guanzhong, and the land is relatively fertile. According to the current world price, one mu of land is about three guan. However, these lands are officially owned by the government after all. Eighty percent of the proceeds need to be handed over to the treasury..."

Lao Cheng nodded and said, "The remaining [-]% ​​is oil and water."

Zhaoning smiled again and said: "One mu of land is worth three pennies, of which twenty percent belongs to the owner's oil and water, three pennies are three thousand coins, and twenty percent is six hundred coins. It’s no problem to count your Cheng family’s five hundred wen as mu of land.”

With a serious face, Lao Cheng said gratefully, "This is a great favor."

He paused slowly as he spoke, as if calculating numbers in his mind, and then spoke again after a while, saying solemnly: "Nine thousand acres of land, six hundred Wen per mu, the total price should be 5400 guan ..."

Zhaoning interrupted suddenly, and said with a faint smile: "Your son is the first disciple of my Youyun Gu family, so I, as the teacher's wife, will give you a little discount, and I don't want a small amount. What the Cheng family owes me is 5000 guan." Bar."

Lao Cheng clasped his fists heavily and bowed deeply to Zhaoning. ,

However, at this moment, I heard Zhaoning speak again, and said leisurely: "But, this princess doesn't want money."

After saying this, not only Lao Cheng was taken aback, but even all the ministers present were obviously taken aback.

Fortunately, Zhaoning didn't play tricks, and immediately revealed her intentions, and said slowly: "Five thousand guan, according to the market price, you can buy about 1 catties of red copper. My princess doesn't want money from your Cheng family. I only want you to pay 1 catties of red copper."

He paused for a while, looked at the other people in the hall, and said again: "You people, the same is true, no matter who wants to break up private property with me, the payment must be made of red copper. If there is no red Copper, then use silver instead. Gold is better, and this princess will give you a discount..."

Alas?

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Soon someone had a flash of inspiration and blurted out loudly: "I understand, red copper is used to mint coins. No wonder the princess wants to sell her private property. It turns out that the real intention is for copper."

Looking at Gu Tianya while speaking, he said again: "Lord Gu is going to mint new coins. If you want to mint coins, you must be inseparable from copper. You husband and wife are singing together today, and the ultimate goal is to collect all the copper in the world, right?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Tianya nodded without hesitation, and said: "Yes, it is for copper. With copper, I can mint a large amount of coins. However, after I mint coins, I will spend them after all. I said before that However, I want to equip every soldier of the Tang Dynasty with armor. The price of armor is so high, how can I afford it if I don’t have money? That’s why I’m selling the property...and it’s still my wife’s family business.”

He paused slowly as he spoke, with an indescribably sad tone, and suddenly looked at Zhaoning who was beside him, and said softly: "Perhaps in your opinion, our husband and wife are playing tricks today, but who can tell?" Think about it deeply, how much my wife has paid for my dream. She is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she is a famous female marshal."

Chapter 371 [Really think Gu Tianya will suffer? 】

In the next period of time, the Great Tang Dynasty will become a trading venue.

"In our Chen family in Luoyang, some members of the family serve as local officials. The locations are divided into four places, and the posts are all county magistrates... They are Taolin County of Henan Province, Ganliang County of Hedong Road, Dahuaishu of Shanxi Province, and Yuanyou County. Longxi County."

"The above four counties all have the princess's private property recorded in the household books and records. We have been in charge of it for ten years since the third year of Wude. But the princess has just said that everything in the past will not be pursued. Then we in Luoyang The Chen family calculated the corresponding value of this batch of land based on the current land price."

"However, there is one thing that needs to be explained in advance. The land prices of these four counties are definitely different due to their different regions. For example, Ganliang County on Hedong Road is a place with a lot of land and few people. , its world price is only consistent..."

"Taolin County in Henan Province is located in the Central Plains, and the price of land is far higher than other places. Even the lowest-grade bad land is worth three or four per mu of land."

The official of the Chen family was talking non-stop when suddenly someone in the hall sneered and interrupted: "The land price on Henan Road is more than three or four, right? If you have the ability, you can find a few places for me to try. No matter how many you can find, The king wants it all."

Obviously, the one who interrupted was a member of the royal family, and he was also a person with the status of a prince. His intention was self-evident, but to fight for Li Xiuning's interests.

The officials of the Chen family seemed to have expected this a long time ago. After hearing the words, they sighed bitterly, nodded and admitted: "Well, I used a little trick in the quotation just now. Those lands in Henan Road have at least emergy value per mu. Five times."

"Wuguan? You coax the idiot to go!"

The prince said again, snorting coldly: "What you are talking about is the price of bad land."

The official of the Chen family took a deep breath, nodded again helplessly, and said, "Well, the princess's private property is not bad land. It's the irrigated land of the Tianzi brand. The current market price is probably around Baguan."

That Wang Jue was satisfied now, turned his head to look at Li Xiuning who was not far away, and said: "Third Sister, did you hear clearly, don't let these people get tricked."

Then he looked at Gu Tianya, hesitated for a while before speaking, and said a little displeased: "Third brother-in-law, you claim to be the world's number one business wizard, why don't you stand up and bargain with these people? If you stand up and bargain, they An dares to quote indiscriminately."

These words seem to be accusations, but they are actually secretly helping. After all, the two parties are relatives, and it is impossible for the Li royal family to stand on the platform of outsiders.

Gu Tianya nodded to him, but he did not accept his suggestion, but looked at the people in the court with deep meaning, and said slowly: "The price of land in the world is different, if Zhaoning and I live together Everyone argues, then this matter will inevitably turn into a protracted delay, the reason is very simple, both buyers and sellers are interested in profit. Once profit is stuck on the threshold, no one is willing to back down until the last step!"

He paused while talking, and then said: "For example, Zhaoning and I want to sell five guan in a certain field, but the price in everyone's mind is only four guan and nine. It will lead to a stalemate between each other..."

"If it's in the usual way, I, Gu Tianya, will definitely grind it out with everyone until you lose your temper and obediently pay according to my bid."

"However, I can't afford to procrastinate now, and neither can the soldiers of the entire Tang Dynasty. His Majesty has launched a call-up, and countless government soldiers have already embarked on the journey. Our Han people are about to go to war..."

He paused again as he spoke, and continued: "According to yesterday's reports from all over the world, almost all Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty have completed their recruitment. There are nearly 370 people gathered in the 60 five Zhechong mansions." The army, including about 25 first-line government soldiers, and more than 30 civilian husbands conscripted for corvee..."

"With such a large number of people, the food they eat every day can overwhelm those Zhechong mansions. That's why the national laws of the Tang Dynasty set strict rules. After the soldiers arrived at Zhechong mansion, they immediately pulled out their camps. There was neither drill nor martial arts. All soldiers immediately Starting the journey, everything will converge toward my land of dark clouds."

"So in the next period of time, what I will face is the arrival of 60 troops. The government soldiers have different roads, and the time to reach Youzhou must be different. However, for me, Gu Tianya, I have to welcome new soldiers every day. soldiers."

"I have made up my mind to equip each of them with soldiers and armor. That also means that when they start to arrive, I will distribute soldiers and armor every day."

"This is an extremely hasty thing, so hasty that I have almost no room to prepare and breathe, and the only thing I can do is to constantly compete for time."

"When the government soldiers are rushing here on the road, Mrs. Youyun Gu must hurry up to manufacture armor and weapons without any delay or laziness!"

He paused again while speaking, and suddenly looked at everyone present, and said: "In addition to Gu's own production, I also need to purchase from outside, and who is the target of the purchase, it is the family behind the court officials. Your family is located in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and the route of transporting the armor must be different, the nearest one may take a few days, and the farther one may take more than a month. This means that I still need to rush for time."

"Besides, minting coins also takes time. This is the real top priority, and it is the top priority of my three strategies against Goguryeo."
