"Your Majesty, please speak!"
The three of them looked at Tang Yang respectfully.
"First, arrest all the people related to the four major salt merchants, charge them with conspiring to rebel with Dugu Yidang, Lin Guangling, and the three major princes and kings, and take all their salt and money back to the court! " Tang Yang ordered.
The three of them nodded, as if this was what they expected.
The Dugu Party was destroyed, and the four major salt merchants were behind them, so naturally they had to be cleaned up.
"Second, take this opportunity to nationalize all salt and iron! Private individuals are not allowed to sell salt, and private individuals are not allowed to mine!" Tang Yang said in a surprising way!
All three of them showed surprised expressions!
In their era, salt and iron could be bought and sold freely. If it were nationalized, wouldn't it trigger a civil uprising?
When Dou Yingde was about to persuade them, he looked back at Li Qingyan and Su Xinting, and they didn't even have the slightest intention to object.
These two guys didn't object, which meant that things might be different from his first reaction!
If he objects, it might lower his status in the eyes of the emperor.
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Seeing that none of them objected, Tang Yang became interested: "Why don't you object? Aren't you afraid of extreme civil unrest?"
After Su Xinting made a gesture of invitation, Li Qingyan said: "Your Majesty, whether it is salt or copper and iron, although they were not nationalized in the past, they were controlled by the Dugu Party and other forces, and it was difficult for ordinary people to touch them. , even if it is nationalized, it will definitely not provoke a civil uprising. On the contrary! Since Your Majesty has now defeated the powerful enemy and the world has returned to its heart, the people feel that items such as salt and iron will be more valuable under your control. Stability! Therefore, Wei Chen will not object to this matter!
Even if His Majesty does not speak today, the ministers will advise His Majesty to take advantage of the destruction of the Dugu Party and other forces to nationalize salt and iron. This will not only stabilize the price of salt, but also increase taxes and copper and iron mineral deposits. After being nationalized, the imperial court would also be able to obtain more resources, thus casting more Hongyi cannons! "
After hearing this, Dou Yingde reacted!
Why didn't he think of this?
However, he reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think so too."
Tang Yangcai didn't believe that Dou Yingde could think of this, otherwise he would have said it first, otherwise how could he have waited for Li Qingyan to take action?
"You're pretty good too!"
Tang Yang did not expose his intention. Apart from that, Tang Yang continued: "Thirdly, I need you to try your best to recruit experts in smelting copper and iron, as well as people who are proficient in farming! Remember, it must be done secretly, not Let others know!”
"Here!"
Even Dou Yingde understands what Tang Yang means. In the future, it is a top priority to have powerful weapons and food for the country, so naturally it needs to be focused on!
"Your Majesty, do you want to encourage childbirth?" Dou Yingde asked hurriedly: "In this way, the population can be increased quickly!"
"It's not suitable for the moment, so forget it!"
Tang Yang directly vetoed it. Although an increase in population would increase overall strength, Xia's current agricultural technology and productivity could not support a larger population. It might make them poorer and poorer, and the large number of people would actually become a burden. .
not to mention!
Ten years from now, certain countries in the Chinese mainland may attack. Even if they live now, they will not be able to become a combat force in ten years.
Being denied by Tang Yang, Dou Yingde's passion was almost extinguished!
Tang Yang temporarily added: "When the time is right, I will encourage childbirth. You should make a record of this first!"
Dou Yingde suddenly felt his blood burning again: "Here!"
"In addition to these, after I leave, if you encounter something that you cannot make a decision, you need to go to Tianwu Pavilion and report it to the worshiper, so that he can make the decision!" Tang Yang ordered.
Of course, the person who really makes the decision is not the worshiper, but Song Yonggui!
At present, he is still unwilling to appear in the court. He is only willing to serve as a counselor behind Tang Yang and is unwilling to participate in the court struggle.
Therefore, Tang Yang asked him to continue to stay in Tianwu Pavilion to accompany him!
After arranging them, Tang Yang took Dugu Yingyue to the underground of Tianwu Pavilion!
Originally, Tang Yang wanted to use Dugu Yingyue as bait to attract Dugu Bingyu and capture him!
However, now he needs to go to Longxi Kingdom and Linjiang Kingdom to give them some color.
Naturally, she needs to be temporarily detained in Tianwu Pavilion, and when he comes back, she can be used as bait to lure Dugu Bingyu to come.
When Dugu Yingyue and the mysterious man in black were under the Tianwu Pavilion, their eyes met.
The eyes of the mysterious man in black became extremely complicated.
Dugu Yingyue complained about him, blaming him for being such a waste. If he could successfully defeat Tang Yang and others, how could their alliance fail?
This made the mysterious man in black furious, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
I regret that I should have chosen her instead of Dugu Bingyu!
He also pinned his hopes on Dugu Bingyu, hoping that she would see the facts clearly and regain the advantage with the help of his men!
After Tang Yang arranged all this, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked Sun Ergou and others to make tens of thousands of Desert Eagle-specific bullets for him, and then left Xiadu in the dark!
Among those who followed Tang Yang, in addition to Lingyun, Long Qing and many dragon guards, Gui Sha also followed them.
It's not that Tang Yang asked him to follow him.
But in the exchange between him and the mysterious man in black, he sensed signs of a breakthrough!
It's just that he has been imprisoned for decades underground in Tianwu Pavilion. He seems to have inner demons. Even if he senses signs of a breakthrough, he has been unable to break through!
Therefore, he asked Tang Yang to take him with him on this trip. Firstly, he could protect Tang Yang, and secondly, he might be able to successfully break through to the Lu Zun level if he lost his inner demons outside!
By then, he can become the most powerful being in the so-called ten countries in the world!
The trip to Tangyang would be smoother with him, so he agreed to let him leave with him.
"Little Emperor, should we go to Longxi Country or Linjiang Country first this time?" Although Gui Sha rides a horse, he can easily follow the fast horse just by relying on his own running speed.
"Let's go to Longxi Kingdom first. As long as we can teach Qin You a lesson, Linjiang Kingdom will naturally be cautious!" Tang Yang replied.
"That's not right. Then when you go to Longxi Country, won't you not be able to see Nalan Yan? Can't you teach her a lesson?" Gui Sha asked.
Tang Yang was very surprised: "You have never been out before, how did you know about Nalan Yan?"
"I have deep inner strength, and my hearing is naturally far better than ordinary people. When you were discussing with Song Yonggui, even if I didn't want to listen, it still entered my ears." Gui Sha responded with a yawn.
"I see. However, you don't have to worry about me. There is news that Nalan Yan went to Longxi Kingdom as an envoy and has not returned yet. As long as you go to Longxi Kingdom, you can see this woman." Tang Yang replied.
"That's good!"
The ghost nodded and then started running around as if having fun.
I just heard him say: "Meet you at the Feihe Wharf, thirty miles outside Qinjin City!"
Then disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty, what should I do if he runs away?" Lingyun asked worriedly.
"He won't run away! He knows better than anyone else that only by following me can he become stronger!" Tang Yang said very confidently.
Immediately, Tang Yang and others rushed towards Qin Jincheng!
at the same time!
Dugu Bingyu has arrived near the summer capital!
She originally wanted to go to the city at dawn, but suddenly changed her mind.
"Vulture, let's go to Longxi Kingdom!"
"My lord, why did you suddenly go to Longxi Kingdom?" the vulture asked strangely.
"Based on my understanding of Tang Yang, he should desperately want to catch me, but he has not used Dugu Yingyue to seduce me. This shows that he is doing something more important than seducing me." Dugu Bingyu analyzed: "And think about what is the most important thing to Tang Yang?"
"According to the news, Tang Yang, as the suzerain, issued decrees to Longxi, Nanlin, Zhongshan, and Linjiang, asking them to open their country and let Xia's salt enter their country for sale. He even used Military force threatened the royal families of various countries, and Zhongshan Kingdom and Nanlin Kingdom both chose to agree. On the contrary, Longxi Kingdom and Linjiang Kingdom just sent envoys there!
At this time, whether it was to maintain Xia's hard-won deterrence or to find sales for Xia's salt, he should be negotiating with their envoys! " Vulture analyzed.
"No!" Dugu Bingyu denied.
"That is?"
"Tang Yang always does things personally. He ordered to threaten Longxi and other countries with force. If they were unwilling to compromise, Tang Yang would definitely take people to the countries that were unwilling to compromise in order to teach them a lesson and thus deter them. ! This is what he thinks is the most important thing at the moment, so! He must have gone to Longxi Country at this time!" Dugu Bingyu replied.
He fought against Tang Yang many times, even though he failed every time!
But Dugu Bingyu has learned from the pain these days and summarized the past failures!
After she calmed down, her thinking ability was not weak, and she quickly analyzed Tang Yang's acting style!
Vulture still seemed a little confused, but he also knew the changes in Dugu Bingyu these days!
Dang Ji said: "Then we will go to Longxi Country immediately and try to arrive before them. We will inform Qin You about this and let him prepare in advance so that Tang Yang never returns!"
