His Majesty Li Er recognized all the words and heard all the words clearly, but when combined together, His Majesty Li Er said he could not understand them at all.
This is embarrassing...
Your majesty, the majesty of the emperor, can't understand the words of his ministers when he confronts them again. How can this be done?
Fang Jun didn't notice the strangeness of His Majesty Li Er, and kept talking about his thoughts: "... Our Tang Dynasty has a vast land and rich products, but the export products cannot only be the crops produced by the land, but also need to be expanded. High value-added commodities such as glass, porcelain, and fine wine can not only easily earn more profits, but also inhibit these workshops in other countries. We must expand the export of high value-added commodities as much as possible to increase the trade surplus. At the same time, it will attack the economic systems of neighboring countries, causing them to aggravate domestic inflation and gradually become financially dependent on the Tang Dynasty, just like what I did in the Western Regions and Tubo..."
Fang Jun became more and more excited as he talked.
Back then, he was just the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture. His greatest power was to go down to the fields and direct the plowing...
When will there be such an opportunity to guide the country and plan for the empire?
But the more His Majesty Li Er listened, the darker his face became. He was extremely embarrassed...
His Majesty Li Er still vaguely understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words. It was nothing more than using trade means to suppress imports and expand exports. Importing one thousand dollars and exporting two thousand dollars was equivalent to making a net profit...
Earn money from other countries to make Datang richer and richer.
But what does this have to do with customs tax and market sales tax?
What the hell is inflation?
Seeing Fang Jun dancing and frothing at the mouth, His Majesty Li Er had a dark face, patted the table beside him, and said coldly: "I am only a third-grade marquis, and my official position is also a general manager. This matter is of great importance." Major matters of national policy are the responsibilities of the ministers and ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, so what are your intentions in overstepping your authority?"
"Well……"
Fang Jun almost choked to death on his own saliva and looked at His Majesty Li Er in stunned silence.
This emperor... is too fatuous, right?
Although I am not the prime minister, what I say is all about country planning. It is a country-making strategy that is suitable for the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty and is condensed from our experience of more than a thousand years. Do you think I am overstepping my authority and meddling in other people's affairs?
I have such a bad temper...
Nothing!
Who calls someone the emperor?
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyelids and looked at Fang Jun, who had his mouth closed with a sad and indignant look on his face. He coughed guiltily and said casually: "But for the sake of your dedication to national affairs, I will not pursue it. In this way, you can go back and write Divide the memorial into something more detailed... and then submit it to me. After I review it, I will send it to the political hall for all the prime ministers and ministers to discuss and decide whether it is applicable or not. Your hard work will not be wasted. "
How did Fang Jun know that His Majesty Li Er wanted to study his memorial carefully and understand the key points?
He only waited for a muffled response: "My son, I obey."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "I am a little tired, please go down."
"No!" Fang Jun bowed and exited the hall.
Seeing Fang Jun's sturdy back disappearing from the door, His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hands to rub his face, breathed out, and murmured to himself: "It's a bit embarrassing that I can't keep up with this little bastard's thoughts. Could it be that I'm already old?" Already?"
I thought I'd better wait for Fang Jun to send the memorial and study it carefully.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to express his stance in front of Fang Jun, and he didn't even understand the core meaning. What attitude should he express?
*****
Fang Jun left the hall depressed.
I was full of enthusiasm to propose a suggestion to His Majesty Li Er that would help the Tang Dynasty confirm its hegemony, but he was poured cold water on him... You can imagine the frustration in his heart.
I think Princess Gaoyang won't be able to leave for a while, so she might as well leave the palace first.
As I walked leisurely, my heart was filled with resentment towards His Majesty Li Er.
You damn emperor, he is as knowledgeable as a frog in a well. How can he know the ambition of an eagle flying all over the world and a dragon flying nine heavens?
Fang Jun looked up to the sky and sighed: "I originally put my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch..."
"Is Fang Consort's poetry booming? Oops, I'm lucky enough to write down Fang Consort's new works..."
A sudden word startled Fang Jun.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that he had unknowingly arrived at the bell tower in front of the provincial government office under the east door of Tai Chi Hall...
The Menxia Province and the Zhongshu Province are on the left and right of the Taiji Hall.
There is a bell tower in front of the Menxia Province Gate, and a Drum Tower in front of the Zhongshu Province Gate. Fang Jun stands to the east of the bell tower. There is a cornice behind a lush forest in front of it, which is the Hongwen Pavilion.
Standing in front of him was a young man in Confucian robes and a high crown. He had handsome features and a heroic figure. He was standing with his hands crossed, giving Fang Jun the courtesy of a junior.
This person is several years older than Fang Jun, but he still behaves with such strict courtesy as a junior, so he must be a student of Hongwen Hall. Hongwen Hall and Chongxian Hall were divided into Taiji Palace and East Palace. They were both the first-class aristocratic schools in the Tang Dynasty, with the same level. Fang Jun's position as the school secretary of Chongxian Hall has not been removed, which means he is still a teacher at Chongxian Hall.
There is nothing wrong with the students of Hongwen Hall performing the courtesy of disciples to the teachers of Chongxian Hall...
Fang Jun sighed slightly: "What kind of poem are you writing? It's just a few lines of emotion, just these two lines, no more."
The heroic young man slightly regretted: "Only two lines? That's a pity... Although these two lines of poetry are simple in words, the helplessness and anger contained in them are vividly revealed. There are many people in my generation who are not as good as the prince-in-law. .”
Fang Jun touched his nose. Although the things he was praised for by others were "plagiarized", he was still somewhat happy in his heart. He could never find the rightful owner of the things he "plagiarized" to sue him for "infringement." Woolen cloth?
I have a very good impression of this heroic young man.
"I wonder what you call me brother?" Fang Jun asked.
The young man was slightly frightened: "Fang's consort is the school secretary of Chongxian Hall. Since he is a late-born teacher, how can he dare to say 'brother'? Moreover, Fang's consort is also a famous official in the dynasty, and he is well-known among scholars as a poet. , It’s really a shame that I was born late... Pei Xingjian, who was born late, was from Hedong, so the prince-in-law said that he was born late and kept his promise.”
Fang Jun was stunned.
Pei Xingjian?
Pei keeps the promise?
What the hell!
When I go out, I meet a great God...
This is a historical figure who was versatile in both civil and military affairs that Fang Jun once liked very much.
In history, this man is also full of legend.
Not only was this man a first-rate dignitary in the civil and military positions of Minister of Rites and General of the Right Guards, but he also made a powerful move in the Western Regions and defeated the Turks. He captured the rebellious Western Turks' Ten-surnamed Khan Ashina Kuyandu Branch and sent his officials to Suiye. The city erected a monument in his honor.
The most powerful thing is undoubtedly this person's ability to recognize people...
In the late Ming Dynasty, Peng Sunyi said: Be thrifty and know others' good deeds, be magnanimous and learn from others, and all those who appreciate their skills will become famous generals.
Why do you say this?
Prime Minister Li Jingxuan highly praised the talents of Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and King Luo Bin, and recommended them to Pei Xingjian. Pei Xingjian looked down upon these people: "If an official wants to achieve great ambitions, positions, and prospects, he must put measurement and insight first. , putting literary skills second. Although people like Wang Bo are rich in literary talent, they are frivolous, impatient, and love to show off. How can they be people who do great things? Yang Jiong is more stable and cautious, and can be a county magistrate. The rest of them may not have a good end. .”
It turned out to be just as he expected.
Most of the lieutenants he personally recommended and introduced, such as Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianyuezhu, Cui Zhijie, Wang Fangyi, Can Jinbi, Liu Jingtong, Guo Daifeng, Li Duozuo, and Heiji Changzhi, became famous generals in the world, and they were appointed by him. There are dozens of people who have become governor generals...
This vision is comparable to that of a time traveler!
It is said that the reason why Pei Xingjian was able to recognize people so well was because he was proficient in the art of yin and yang calendar and the five elements of physiognomy. Not only could he recognize people, but he could also predict the favorable time for each battle. He often won the victory without any loss...
During the Tang Dynasty, Pei Xingjian was also a famous general among famous generals!
In the third year of Emperor Dezong's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing, the envoy of etiquette, suggested to Tang Dezong that 64 famous ancient generals should be honored and temples should be built to commemorate them, including "Wenxi Gong Pei Xingjian, the Minister of Rites". In the fifth year of the Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty followed the practice of the Tang Dynasty and established temples for famous ancient generals. Among the seventy-two famous generals, Pei Xingjian was also included. In the "Seventeen Histories and One Hundred Generals" written during the Northern Song Dynasty, Pei Xingjian was also listed among them.
Of course, the reason why Fang Jun was interested in Pei Xingjian was because he was Su Dingfang's apprentice!
