Kyoto.
Two months have passed, and the people have probably seen the problem.
Because in the past two months, everyone who had some connection with the great talent was affected to a certain extent.
Officials who were once promoted because of the great talent, or who were close to the great talent, were either demoted or transferred away. The entire court was gradually eliminating the influence of the great talent.
Above the court, people were in panic.
Fortunately, the talented man had always been lazy and had no intention of forming a clique, so not too many officials were implicated.
The most serious one is actually the Ministry of Commerce.
Because almost all the backbone here were originally transferred from the southwest.
Now two months have passed, almost all the people here have been replaced, only Xiao Wu and a few people are left.
"Master Xiao, what should we do? If the Ministry of Commerce is messed with like this, there will definitely be trouble."
In front of Xiao Buyi, several officials who had previously been in the Ministry of Commerce gathered together.
"What happened to His Royal Highness and His Majesty? How could this happen? Are those legends true?"
"So what if it's true, the relationship between the Ministry of Commerce and North Korea is far from the economic lifeline of the DPRK, and we cannot let those people mess around."
"That's right! The Ministry of Commerce is not only the hard work of His Royal Highness, but also the hard work of all of us. If His Highness is not here, why don't we go find the Seventh Princess?"
"You are still looking for the Seventh Princess. Don't you know that the Queen was demoted to Xueyang Palace? When the Seventh Princess learned about this, she had a big quarrel with His Majesty. As a result, he was grounded by His Majesty and was not seen for two months. Now, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already in charge of the third prince."
"Yes! Mr. Yang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is said to be seriously ill and has resigned. The position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has fallen into the hands of the second prince and his family. I am afraid that there will be a big change in the Li Dynasty, and we are afraid that the Ministry of Commerce will not be able to control it. "
"..."
Several people were talking and shaking their heads.
The current situation changes too fast and is so unpredictable that as a small person, it is difficult to change anything.
Xiao Buyi is no exception. Although he is considered a leading figure among these people, he is insignificant to the general trend of Li Dynasty.
He sighed, "His Fourth Highness is gone, and we can no longer control the Ministry of Commerce. There is no point in staying here anymore. I am going to resign and go to the southwest to find His Highness."
"I also have this intention. The southwest is developing rapidly, and it is the right time to employ people. Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, will definitely not treat us badly."
"Count me in, there's no use staying here anyway."
This is just a coincidence.
In Kyoto, there are many similar conversations.
Of course, relatively speaking, it occurs relatively rarely among officials, mostly businessmen.
Great talents originally valued businessmen and gave them various preferential treatment. Now the Ministry of Commerce is taken over by new people. Although the temporary changes are not too big, businessmen are smart people and will notice something wrong at the slightest sign of trouble.
Relatively speaking, they undoubtedly believe in great talents more.
But now that the great talent has become the king of the Southwest, he has the final say in the Southwest. This is undoubtedly great news for businessmen, so...
Royal study room.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was gloomy, and he seemed much more haggard than he was two months ago.
Several cabinet ministers headed by Qin Zhengyang and Fan Renli were reporting on matters related to the DPRK. Zhu Kun and Zhu Kang were also there. In addition, there was another figure, Han Wenqing.
Qin Zhengyang said: "Your Majesty, the hidden dangers left by Lin Qingfeng have been basically eliminated. In addition to Jiangzhou, there is also Changjin County."
Fan Renli reminded: "The Night King has been stationed in Jiangzhou area before, plus the Su family..."
His meaning was very clear, Su Mingyue was the Princess of the Night King.
At this time, it was obviously not a wise move to offend the Night King. The Night King was no ordinary calf protector.
Zhu Tianzheng paused and said, "Don't worry about Jiangzhou for now, just leave it there!"
"As for the Changjin County side, is it Yan Wenliang? Yan Zhenlin's son?"
Zhu Kun said: "Back to my father, that's right!"
Zhu Tianzheng asked: "What is the current situation in Changjin County?"
Zhu Kun said: "Back to my father, the new city of Changjin County is nearing completion. The trade between the two countries is active, and the tax revenue collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs is quite considerable. Lin Qingfeng is the consort of the Wu Dynasty. Once Yan Wenliang is removed, it is hard to say what will happen. .”
"So I think that it is not appropriate to move around there for the time being. Moreover, Yan Wenliang and Yan Xiang have been at loggerheads for many years. One is fighting and the other is fighting. Although they are father and son after all, they have broken bones and connected tendons, but for the time being, It doesn’t hurt to come and stabilize the merchants over there.”
Zhu Tian's expression remained calm, "Then let's just follow your words for now!"
"yes!"
Zhu Kun responded.
Zhu Tianzheng added: "Now that everything is ready, let's act according to Han Wenqing's plan! There won't be any problems, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at Han Wenqing.
Han Wenqing did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Lin Qingfeng's so-called development has always been inseparable from two things, people and the market."
"Whether it is in Ping'an County, Changjin County, or the Southwest, it attracts a large number of businessmen and people from all over the country. The eating, drinking and eating of these people is a huge business opportunity. As long as we cut off the connections between the North and the Southwest and control household registration , his development will be greatly restricted, which is equivalent to being strangled by our neck."
"In addition, a large amount of goods produced in the southwest are sold to several wealthy provinces in the interior such as Kyoto and Jiangnan. As long as we control the entry of their goods and set up checkpoints at each checkpoint, their goods will have no place to sell. There will definitely be a lot of chicken feathers all over the place.”
"Lin Qingfeng is engaged in large-scale development in the southwest and has built countless workshops. The premise of everything is because of the huge market in Dali. Once he loses this market, there will be no place to sell the goods he produces, and the southwest will not be able to move at all. "
"In this way, the workshops and various industries that he invested heavily in before will become a burden and become the straw that breaks the camel's back. Businessmen who cannot receive a return on their investment will inevitably find him and go bankrupt. There are countless workshops.”
"Not only that, but the people who were absorbed to work in the past will have no job opportunities, let alone fields, and there will definitely be big troubles. Even if Lin Qingfeng has the power to reach the sky, he will not be able to break the situation in the Southwest. After all, there are only So big, its development is ultimately limited.”
"But the stall he set up in the early stage was too big, and it was destined to be counterattacked."
If a great talent were here, he would definitely give Han Wenqing a thumbs up.
This insight is very advanced!
People and the market are indeed the most important. The reason why Southwest can develop rapidly is indeed inseparable from the large market of Lichao.
"well said!"
Zhu Tai echoed, "Father, as long as we control the outflow of the population and the inflow of goods from the southwest, the development of the southwest will inevitably lead to a loss of feathers. Once this happens, the chieftains in the southwest will inevitably be separated. These chieftains were originally tied to Lin Qingfeng for their own interests. Chariots will eventually turn against each other because of their own interests, and when that time comes..."
He said with a sinister smile on his lips.
A cold light flashed in Zhu Tianzheng's eyes, "Okay! It's settled, Han Wenqing will be responsible for this matter."
Han Wenqing was overjoyed and quickly accepted the order. A flash of joy flashed in his eyes. He finally got through it after so long.
