Chapter 797 Chang'an Fu, I don't know how many!
When in front of the emperor, everything centered on the emperor, no matter how nasty, shameless, and disgusting flattery he uttered, no one would laugh at this person. There are also very normal behaviors of people who ask.
When the emperor is not in front of him, everyone talks very casually, and there are still many people who are proud of burying and flogging the emperor.
This kind of people used to be more, that is, it has become less in the past few years. The main reason is that the emperor, who used to not be offended by his words, is now starting to deal with some guys who are not very respectful to him verbally.
This is the reason why Li Jingxuan always speaks half of his words when he speaks evil, and always leaves blank space for his words.
The way the officials talked was actually very interesting. No matter what method Li Jingxuan used to express his needs, and no matter how Yun Chu reacted at the time, in fact, the purpose of exchanging information had been achieved.
Don't think that Yunchu's refutation of Li Jingxuan in person means that Yunchu will flatly reject their suggestions.
The officials in the Tang society are definitely the absolute elites in the Tang society. They are not as stupid as others think. Whether they agree to something or not depends on their interests.
On the surface, the quarrel is incompatible, but in fact, the behavior is coordinated with every second. It is a very normal thing in the officialdom. That's why there is that famous saying, don't look at what he said, but look at what he does what.
Li Jingxuan is obviously also an old man in the officialdom, and the emperor's decree to relieve the victims in Chang'an City is in his arms.
He wanted to take advantage of the disaster victims to catch the sore feet of the officials on Yunchu's side first, so that he could not talk about it at that time, and he could raise some conditions that could not be mentioned before. The mouth and so on are convenient.
It can be seen from this that Li Jingxuan's headache for the emperor is definitely more important than solving the suffering of these victims.
Only ordinary people feel that the court must give priority to solving the problem of the victims in the first place, but most officials don't think so.
From the beginning of the establishment of Datang, there have always been natural disasters, and there have always been victims. As long as officials with a little experience have basically dealt with the problems of the victims, they have also experienced various problems, and they turned the victims into mobs. , it is not uncommon to turn appeasement into rebellion.
In the end, the mob was dealt with by the government, and the rebellion was dealt with by the government soldiers. In the end, I was surprised to find that there had never been any mobs in the world, let alone rebellions... For example, Li Yifu suppressed the mobs in Hebei, and Xue Rengui appeases the rebellion in Yingzhou...
Chang'an is different after all.
A mature city will never change its rhythm of life because of some small accidents.
Even if 30 disaster victims came from outside the city, it would not slow down Chang'an, a busy city.
Chang'an is like a huge and well-functioning machine. After a large number of disaster victims are swallowed by the machine, they change into clean clothes and eat a full meal. Dude.
It won't take long for these victims to fall in love with Chang'an, and they will never miss their homes again. After all, apart from hunger and cold, there are not many good things left in their memories of their hometown. Mud legs can also sneak a peek at the big beauties with open necklines. Most importantly, there are some orchids who sell wine. They wear gauze clothes when the weather is hot, and the two bright red spots on the chest stand out...
Chang'an needs manpower to work, and the gap is very large. The main reason is that Chang'an at this time, even if it is rich, still needs people to do all the work. It is just to supply the old god to prepare the pharmacy for himself. My friend, there are mountains of medicinal materials there, and these people are needed to break the medicinal materials into flakes, into segments, grind them into powder, steam them into soup... Anyway, there will be no job that can only eat and not work.
Not to mention purely handmade paper workshops and other places, the manpower needed is even more massive.
The government office in Chang'an City is a government office with extremely high operating efficiency. After Yunchu accepted Li Yi's government to verify the account books, Mi Zhubu and other officials had already resettled the people who had fled to Chang'an. They rushed towards Chang'an one after another, basically nothing.
Yunchu read the resettlement documents brought by Master Mi, and after looking at them for an hour, he squeezed the bridge of his nose and slowly raised his head and said to Master Mi who just came in and was making pots of tea: "In this way, there is no need Shut down all breweries?"
Master Mi put a cup of tea in front of Yunchu and said, "Your Majesty, don't dare to stop the wine making workshop. If it stops, the drunkards all over the world will go crazy, not to mention the people in Chang'an City who make a living by making wine now More than [-] people, shut down the winery, and the food saved has helped the victims, but, those of us in Chang’an who rely on brewing for food will become new victims of the disaster?"
Yun Chu snorted and said, "I know you have the benefits of taking the brewery, but what you said is not unreasonable, the annual tax paid by the brewery is indeed a huge sum, and I can't bear it.
Since you have provided guarantees for the shopkeepers of those winemaking workshops, the wineries can not stop, and the winemaking can continue.
However, 30 food mouths suddenly increased in a city. You have to guarantee me such a huge food shortage, and you can't use the food in the regular warehouse. "
Master Mi smiled and spread his hands apart, waved his five stubby fingers in front of Yunchu and said, "Your Majesty's words are worth five thousand guan, and my subordinates have already put these five thousand guan in the big account.
As for the food shortage, the lower officials have ordered the grain merchants to make up for it. Although there is a severe drought in the northern Weibei plateau and there is no harvest, but the weather in Hexi is good this year, and the grain is ripe. Originally, the grain merchants were still worried about the drop in grain prices. Now there is no need Don't worry, just increase the capacity to make up for it.
Junhou, should we turn this grain gap into an official business?In this way, if you come in at a low price and go out at a high price, you can still get five thousand guan. "
Yun Chu looked at some rogue-headed Mi Zhubo and said: "Don't compete with the people for profit. This is a practice we have always followed in Chang'an. Only in this way will the merchants think about making the business bigger. When the time comes, we want to Whatever, merchants can supply it.”
Master Mi nodded regretfully.
Yunchu looked up at Master Mi and said, "Looking at your potential, when you are an official in Chang'an, don't treat money as money, just rely on your master's usual share. There will be no shortage of money, just use it.
The money can be taken clearly and plainly, what do you want to do with the dirty money, it will not damage your character. "
Master Mi was ashamed again and again, but he still leaned closer to Yunchu and whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't value money, and the lower officials think that Li Shilang is someone who likes money, so he just sees his eyes shining when he checks the accounts." It looks like this, the lower official thinks that he might take the initiative to ask us for filial piety, how much do you think it is appropriate to prepare for?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "When the time comes, prepare more Chang'an local specialties, if one is not enough, just two, and no more than three.
The people from Luoyang are all poor, so they can understand when they see money. As for money, they don't have a single coin. "
Master Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Not even a penny?"
Yun Chu snorted coldly and said: "Money is also for relatives and friends, not for white-eyed wolves. Your clan uncle has contributed a lot this time. You got [-] guan of money and quietly sent it to Luoyang Mansion.
If we give money to Li Jingxuan and the others, maybe some bastard will take the money we gave to His Majesty and accuse me of bribery. "
"How can they be so mean and shameless?"
Yun Chu shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the past, you only came into contact with Qian Qian, but now, hmph, the time has changed, and anyone can come out."
Master Mi left in a huff. It's not that he didn't understand, but he couldn't understand in front of Yunchu, the person who could decide his fate. Rather than asking for advice, he was actually testing whether his own Shangguan understood the secrets, so as not to The group of censors who were brought by Li Jingxuan were fooled.
Now that Shangguan knew about it, Master Mi withdrew with satisfaction.
The relief time for the victims is very short, only half a month, which means that the government only provides free meals for half a month. After half a month, those who work will have wages and can support their families.
Of course, the government will continue to take care of the food for families with no one working among the disaster victims until they find a way to make a living.
In the end, the old ones were sent to Fushouyuan, and the young ones were sent to orphanages. The problem of the victims is basically over.
Li Jingxuan's review of Chang'an is still going on, and the accounts are checked. Now it's time to check the various warehouses to see if the real objects match the account books.
In fact, there is no need to check. Li Jingxuan knows this well. He has been a servant in Xitai for these years, and he has checked countless state capitals. For him, he can basically see at a glance whether there is any problem.
Today, Li Jingxuan is standing on Zhuque Street, with the rising sun behind his back, looking at the 24 shining copper bulls on both sides of the street in a daze.
"At that time, there was too much money in Chang'an City, and the servant knew it too. If there was too much money, the prices would rise. This was not good for the people, nor for the court. In order to prevent the money from being poisoned, a certain family ordered to cast These 24 copper bulls stand on Zhuque Street, so that the problem of high prices in Chang'an can be solved."
Li Jingxuan turned his head to look at Yun Chu with difficulty and said, "The Tang Dynasty is actually very short of copper. The money casting department of the Ministry of Households has never obtained more than 30 jin of copper material from Tongshan every year, and the fire consumption is only two cents.
Why didn't Jun Hou send these copper coins to Luoyang at that time, and then distribute them from the household department to places where money is lacking, so that the problem of high prices can also be solved. "
Yun Chu didn't answer, and all the Chang'an officials who followed Yun Chu looked at Li Jingxuan angrily.
Gentle and lightly said: "It's useless, even if the servant can disperse the money to various places in the Tang Dynasty, the money will eventually be collected in Chang'an because it needs to be spent.
Instead of all kinds of unclear wear and tear in the middle, it is better to directly cast it into a copper bull and stand here, and it is good to watch every day. "
Li Jingxuan sighed, and patted the extremely gorgeous copper bull in front of him with his hands, feeling deeply moved.
He is also one of the few smart people. How could he not understand the reason why Yunchu cast such 24 copper bulls? In addition to stabilizing prices and preventing the occurrence of hoarding in Chang'an City, the most important thing is that it can make Chang'an's accounts Completely turned into an unclear account.
Whenever there is something unclear in the accounts, Yunchu can explain all the problems that cannot be explained as long as he points to the Tongniu.
After all, copper bulls are both copper and money, and the huge and unclear accounts are very small accounts in front of the 24 copper bulls, which can be settled at any time.
At least for now, Li Jingxuan doesn't know how to count the wealth owned by the Chang'an government!
