Chapter 166: Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow Are Hard to Come by, so Cook Them Carefully

Chapter 1241 Dragon liver and phoenix marrow are hard to come by, so be careful when cooking them

The emperor is a huge treasure with its own resources!

As long as the emperor was in Chang'an, Chang'an would be the core of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as Chang'an is the core, then there will definitely be countless resources tilted towards Chang'an.

Therefore, from an economic point of view, Yunchu really wanted to keep the emperor in Chang'an. With him in Chang'an, if he did any outrageous things in Chang'an, the emperor, the boss, would take the blame. And the emperor who takes the blame can resist everyone in the world. If that doesn't work, the emperor can shut up all those who have opinions. If that doesn't work, the emperor can shut them up forever.

Of course, the emperor must support him. Yun Chu planned to test the emperor's attitude tonight.

After a long sleep, Li Zhi didn't wake up lazily until the evening. He sat in the warm pavilion and stared at the large tracts of bare farmland outside Xingqing Hall in a daze.

"Yunchu and the others are growing food in Xingqing Palace?"

Ruichun said quickly: "We are growing cotton."

"Grown by the government?"

"It was planted by the people around us."

"Are you saying that this royal palace allows ordinary people to enter?"

"Your Majesty, the common people can only enter the front hall, but the Nanxun Hall, Datong Hall, Qinzhengwu Main Building, Huacalyx Xianghui Building and Chenxiang Pavilion in the back cannot enter."

Li Zhi said: "The most important Xingqing Hall allows the common people to enter, and even chooses a greenhouse. Does this mean that I am not only close to the people, but also close to the farmers?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, Yun Chu dare not force Your Majesty to do things. As far as I know, he just wants to grow these 100 acres of cotton."

“Is land in Chang’an so scarce?”

"Replying to Your Majesty, it's not that land in Chang'an is scarce, but that there are too many people in Chang'an. With more people, there will naturally be more supplies needed. Although Chang'an has money and can outsource some of it, Yunchu also did not let go of anything that Chang'an can use. land."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "So, he built Xingqing Palace just for these lands, so the same must be true for Daming Palace."

Ruichun smiled and said: "The Xingqing Palace was built to drive away some people."

Li Zhi said: "Who is it?"

Ruichun said: "According to Yun Chu, they are some people who are inconsistent with Chang'an's temperament."

"Who are the people who don't match Chang'an's temperament?"

Ruichun whispered: "Those urban foxes and community rats who originally lived in Xingqingfang."

Li Zhi asked in confusion: "City Fox She Rat? With Yunchu's ability, can't he defeat these people?"

Ruichun said: "The city foxes and rats in every city actually have heels, and the roots of these dirty city foxes and rats are often those high-ranking families who claim to be heirs to poetry, etiquette, and etiquette.

They have no blood on their hands, and use these urban foxes and rats to exploit the profits from the people. Once something happens, they will abandon these city foxes and rats to keep their own families safe.

Yun Chu had taken advantage of the opportunity of the large-scale construction projects in Chang'an to make all the urban foxes and community rats focus on the Xingqing Palace construction site. When these people gathered in Xingqingfang to prepare for negotiations due to the uneven distribution of interests, Yun Chu The Xingqing Palace construction site was closed for three months.

Three months later, the Xingqing Palace construction site restarted, and the so-called city foxes and rats were no longer seen in Chang'an City. "

"Isn't there any clear punishment?"

"No, since then, there has been no trace of this group of people in Chang'an City, and those high-ranking families seem to have forgotten that there was such a group of people under their sects.

When Yun Chu continued to acquire land in Xingqingfang, he did not encounter any obstacles. "

Li Zhi patted the giant bear next to him on the head and said, "None of these things will be reported."

Ruichun said: "They are just hooligans in the market. They don't even have household registration. No one cares about their life and death."

After chatting with Ruichun, a eunuch came to report that Yunchu wanted to see him.

Li Zhi was a little addicted to listening to stories today. He felt that there should be more stories to tell when Yun Chu came, so he ordered the eunuch to bring Yun Chu in.

"I heard from Ruichun that you took the opportunity of building Xingqing Palace to clean up Chang'an's social customs and starved hundreds of people to death on the Xingqing Palace construction site?"

Yun Chu looked at the emperor and said in surprise: "Would you rather have this?"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Don't admit it?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "How can your majesty ask me to admit to something that doesn't happen?"

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Maybe they didn't starve to death, but died of fighting each other?"

Yunchu saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise!"

Li Zhi turned back to Ruichun and said, "Learn more."

Ruichun said: "This slave is an honest person."

Every Tang Dynasty official who took office in a local area basically had to wrest power back from the hands of local wealthy families. This resulted in countless killings. Even people like Lu Xiu had to bleed like rivers of blood before they took office in Hebei. The powers of his own county magistrate have been fully implemented.

Li Zhi knew this very clearly and had long been used to it.

Fortunately, most of the officials sent out by the Tang Dynasty were able to regain their own power with the help of their colleagues, which was equivalent to regaining the power of the Tang Dynasty to govern the local area.

There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty’s method of controlling the world was to first control all the big cities, and then use the big cities as bases to expand to small towns, and then the small towns became county bases, and finally control all the county towns. At the same time, the extension of Datang’s power ended here. It was the local gentry who extended power to specific individuals.

Nowadays, the only state and county that can truly extend the power of the Tang government to specific individuals is Chang'an.

Such a governance system has a lot of loopholes. Because of the loopholes, once the local farmers start to rebel, it can form a prairie fire in a very short time.

In those days, Chen Shuozhen, a rural female swindler who claimed to be the descendant of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and the Holy Mother of Red Sky, mastered the emperor's art in the Liujia area - Qimen Dunjia, and rebelled in this way. She killed and wounded the government troops along the way, and was attacked by several cities. Fortunately, the local officials of the Tang Dynasty were still useful at that time, so they captured the "Emperor Wenjia" who had already proclaimed himself emperor.

Strictly speaking, in Chinese history, Chen Shuozhen should be the first female emperor with territory and political power.

In that battle, more than 30,000 people under the command of Emperor Wenjia died in battle... As for the officers and soldiers, nearly 40,000 people also died in battle, so that the war-torn areas had to recuperate for more than ten years before slowly recovering.

Therefore, the political power model of the Tang Dynasty was destined to be a hotbed for peasant uprisings.

Li Ji also saw the loopholes that Yun Chu could see clearly. If the emperor had not had a conversation with Li Ji on the Yellow River suspension bridge built by Yun Chu that year, which was worthy of being recorded in the history books.

The Tang Dynasty is probably busy suppressing the rebellion now.

After all, the rebellion instigated by Li Ji will not be suppressed for ten or eight years.

Li Zhi waved his hand, as if he was unwilling to discuss this issue with Yun Chu, and asked with a smile: "How much did you sell my banquet for?"

Yun Chu said: "Sixty-eight thousand acres of land, and another fifty thousand acres are being planned."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "It was sold cheaply."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "There is no way, the people below have tried their best, and it seems that they are only willing to spend so much on Your Majesty."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "Don't sow discord, there are many Li family retainers among those people, but ah, with your talent, you should have a backup plan, right?"

Yun Chu smiled and moved closer to Li Zhi and said: "There are several families who are dissatisfied with their current status . "

Li Zhi smiled and said, "You have a way to make them more dissatisfied, right?"

Yun Chu grinned and said, "Of course, but it's better to be kind to the superior. My face is worthless."

"How do you want me to be kind to the superior?"

Yun Chu said, "Your Majesty is good at Feibai, which is better than the master. Those people cherish your Majesty's calligraphy as if it were a world-class treasure."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Since it is cherished as a world-class treasure, I can't give too much ink at one time, otherwise your strategy of killing three men with two peaches will not work."

Talking to Li Zhi or planning something can really make Yun Chu feel that they are in tune with each other. This kind of thing is real.

The two of them talked very happily, which made Ruichun, who was standing by, sweat profusely.

I thought that Yun Chu's sale of the position of the banquet given by His Majesty would make the emperor unhappy, but unexpectedly, His Majesty himself seemed to be more excited about this matter than Yun Chu, the beneficiary.

After discussing the time of the banquet with the emperor, Yunchu said goodbye and left. Ruichun sent him out.

When there was no one around, Ruichun asked, "How is it?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "Your Majesty is old and no longer has the ambitions of the past."

Ruichun said, "Before you came, I had already led the topic to local governance."

Yunchu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty only said a few words. It seems that this problem will eventually fall on Prince Hong."

Ruichun smiled generously and said to Yunchu, "Then let your Majesty continue to be happy like this. He has done enough for the Tang Dynasty."

Yunchu smiled and said, "Okay, just continue to be happy."

It was already the second watch when Yunchu returned home.

The whole family did not sleep, waiting for him, the head of the family, to come back.

Li Si's eyes were as red as two rotten peaches from crying. As soon as Yunchu came back, he said anxiously: Aye, my father did not allow me to serve in Xingqing Palace. "

Yun Chu lifted up his hair and looked at Li Si and said, "With you like this, I don't want you to serve me either."

Li Si burst into tears immediately.

Yu Xiurong said, "Why do you tease her for no reason? This child is already suffering."

Yun Chu ignored his wife's complaints and said to Yun Jin, "You go to Xingqing Palace early tomorrow morning to continue to be the secretary of His Majesty."

Yun Jin nodded and said, "It seems that another secretary has died."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "There is no way. The queen keeps sending secretaries to the emperor, and the emperor keeps dealing with secretaries. If you go, His Majesty will kill fewer people, and there will be fewer innocent souls in Chang'an City."

Yun Luan curled her lips after hearing her father's words and said, "She even gave up her life to be an official."

Yun Chu said, "Don't say that about others. At least they are all motivated. ”

Yun Luan said: "Aye, it's not that I don't have ambition, I really don't want to be in the Imperial Hospital anymore. The old immortal is best at gynecology and pediatrics, and my son doesn't want to be a gynecologist in the future."

Yun Chu looked at Yun Luan and said: "Where are the instruments?"

Yun Luan said: "I made a clamp that can help women to clamp the baby out during childbirth... So now I follow the midwife to deliver babies all day long. When the baby can't come out, I use the clamp to help..."

Yu Xiurong blushed and patted Yun Luan on the head and said: "Why do you say anything?"

Yun Luan said aggrievedly: "I am a doctor now. Even the old immortal said that the big clamps I made can benefit the people. Why do you say it as dirty words that cannot be talked about in front of you?"
