5. The boat is full of Dongwei Bridge
"..." Looking at Gao Yue's face, the emperor was mixed with all kinds of emotions.
In the end, he agreed to choose Wu Yuanheng as the governor of Caizhou.
But at the same time, he also made up his mind that even if the successor of Guo King Li Zezhi was involved in the Dou Shen incident as a lesson, he would still have to let a royal family lead the Zhenhai Army so that I could be at peace.
In the few days after Li Qiyun returned, the entire royal family members were in full swing. The treasures that he bribed him were endless and piled up.
There are two most powerful candidates.
One is the governor of Fenzhou and the descendant of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an.
The other one is Li Qi, the fifth-generation grandson of Zong Zheng Shaoqing and Li Xiaotong, the king of Zichuan.
Li Qiyun's selection criteria for this are very fair. Whoever gives more bribes will recommend him to the emperor.
After all, Li Qi stayed in the capital and found more rare treasures than Li Shuo in Fenzhou, especially when he heard that a large number of jewelry made by Yangzhou Hudian came to Chang'an market recently, which was a clever trick, so he asked his confidant servant to buy all his property.
After buying it, Li Qi was overjoyed when he saw it.
Things in Yangzhou are great!
One is the large coral turquoise earrings with flame ring pattern, which is beautiful.
One is a lion's golden ring, which is wonderful.
One is...
So Li Qi spent a total of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to buy these dazzling jewelry, and went directly to Li Qiyun's mansion to present it to Li Qiyun's favorite concubine Wei.
Wei knew that these jewelry were all made by Hu merchants in Yangzhou, and she was very happy because she understood that the jewelry made by Hu merchants was a symbol of honor.
Li Qi also had a little thought. He attached paper to each jewelry, which read at each amazing sky-high prices.
He deliberately showed Wei the price without any discount, because Li Qi understood the woman's thought: "The cheap, durable luxury goods are not worthy of being called luxury goods anymore. From the moment they were discounted, they were completely unstyled and completely lost."
Wei was completely impressed before the full amount of jewelry.
She went to find Li Qiyun, and at this time Li Qiyun was also circling around a luxurious and meticulous bed, and she praised her endlessly.
This item was bought and delivered by Li Qi for 500 jin from the newly arrived "Huaiyang goods" in the capital.
"That's Li Qi." Li Qiyun and Wei spoke in unison.
Then Li Qiyun decisively entered the palace and recommended Zong Zheng Shaoqing Li Qi to the emperor.
The emperor also quickly summoned Li Qi into the palace alone and asked him what he should do if he was the governor of Zhenhai Army. Li Qi answered in a very clear manner, analyzed it in detail, and summarized it in eight words: "Safeguard people and strengthen the army, and carefully regulate the rules."
The emperor was very satisfied with these horoscopes.
The emperor quickly asked the Hanlin Academy to issue an edict, appointing Li Qi as the governor of Zhenhai Army, Liangzhe Observation and Disposal Envoy, and the Governor of Runzhou.
The prime ministers such as Du Huangshang were all surprised and questioned the emperor, and why they were awarded Li Qi's tribute, so they did not discuss with the Political Affairs Hall?
The emperor avoided the prime minister and just asked the envoy to pass on a message, saying that I had seen Li Qi and was indeed talented, so I no longer had to bother the prime ministers about it, afraid of delaying the times.
Before leaving, Li Qi stood in his backyard, and several cellars opened with black holes, as if he was smiling at him with relief, and the walls of the inner room were also chiseled open--the gold, silver and treasures he had saved for decades, and all his family property was spent in this time seeking Zhenhai Jun. But it doesn't matter, "I took less than a year to earn the 150,000 ounces back!"
When Li Qi took office, he went to visit his benefactor Li Qiyun again, and another one was the judge of Pei Yanling of Duzhi.
It turns out that all this was planned by Pei Yanling.
Soon, the two tax money from Pinglu Army in Ziqing was also sent to the capital. After Gao Ying's initial decision, the twelve prefectures totaled only 330,000 guan. When Gao Ying went to Yunzhou, he had already adhered to the principle of "not stimulating Li Shigu too much, and not letting the two tax money from Pinglu Army exceed the previous amount of vocationalism", and finally agreed with Li Shigu.
But Pei Yanling soon found the emperor and cried that Li Shigu originally paid 300,000 guan to your Majesty, and his Majesty's Daying Qionglin Inner Treasury; but now Li Shigu paid 330,000 guan to two taxes, but he could only enter the treasury on the left and right Tibetan treasury.
So Pei Yanling was there and asked the emperor if his royal use was lacking. Then he said that I could have allocated hundreds of thousands of treasuries from the national treasury and transferred them to His Majesty's inner treasury, but the money from Yangzhou, Huainan has not yet arrived, so I am powerless!
Anyway, the finger pointing to attack Gao Yue openly and secretly.
Sure enough, the emperor's brows gradually frowned, and there was obvious resentment.
Gao Yue, I have given you such great power. After pacifying Cai, your Huainan household registration is almost 400,000 yuan. Not counting as rice, you can collect more than 2 million guan with tax money. According to the offering and the envoy (Liuzhou) one to two (the central government and local governments share the tax at a ratio of 1:2), you should also send 700,000 yuan to the capital. I also understand that you have to pay off your debts and train your army, so I cut off the 400,000 yuan guan. You will just send 300,000 yuan. But not only did you not give it away, you also detained all the salt profits in the southeast in the backyard of Liuliu in Yangzhou. How should you face all this?
"Gao..." At this time, the emperor felt angry, his fingers trembled, and he looked at the ground.
Pei Yanling hurriedly prepared to surrender and continue to slander!
But before he could say anything, Bachelor Song Ruohua outside the East Hall reported:
Huainan claimed that Gao Yue paid money from the two taxes sent by Yangzhou, and that he had been supporting both rice and JAC salt profit.
As a result, the emperor stood up and shouted ok, and then he hurriedly asked Ruohua why Huainan came to report to the Zuoru Academy?
Song Ruohua was a little puzzled and said that he didn't know either.
Pei Yanling's expression had not changed yet, and her face was stiff.
"Pei Qing, Gao Lang's money, silk and rice are all delivered!" The emperor turned around and said excitedly.
He seemed to be happy not only for money, but also for Gao Yue to eliminate doubts.
It turned out that when the Huaiyang merchant ship arrived at the capital, it sold out the final goods, and the money was about 500,000 guan, each guan weighed about six kilograms, and the total weight of 18 guan coins was one stone. In other words, just carrying the money, it would take thirty thousand guans of ships. The merchants transported the money by ship, then carried it with cattle and horses. The flow was organized by the official Li Feng of Liudi to send it to the Jinzhaoyuan, and then the 300,000 guan was included in the treasury as two tax money.
Then the merchants received a total of 500,000 yuan of paper coins from the Jinzouyuan, sailed back to Yangzhou, and then received cash from the quality warehouse.
Arriving with the merchant ship, a total of 200,000 shi of rice from Huainan (i.e. the part offered to Hudou Mili) was transported.
There were also ships that were left by Yangzi to carry salt and li, which were also parked under the Dongwei Bridge.
What surprised the emperor was that the original salt profit was a messy "light goods". Although it was called 6 million guan, it could be worth only about 1.5 million guan if it was converted into real money. However, now Gao Yue promoted the salt quotation method and abolished the false estimation method to force the salt merchant to pay cash, the salt profit alone had 2 million guan, and 600,000 pieces of cloth were neatly accompanied by it! This is nearly twice the income from salt profit in previous years!
In addition, there are tea and wine from the Salt and Iron Patrol in Huainan.
