In the history of the Tang Dynasty, especially after the Anshi Rebellion, there were often prices of more than 1,000 cents per dou of rice. (Even when the city was besieged, the price of rice in the city exceeded 10,000 cents. But that was a special case. It was a short period of time, at most several months, and the victims were also local areas.

That's it, countless people starved to death. Eat each other often happens.

If Zhu Quan imagined the situation in the country and lasted for a few more years, something really would happen.

"No," Wang Hua replied without hesitation.

It was not the industrial era. The Tang Dynasty mainly focused on small peasant economy. As long as the rulers were not confused to the point of Emperor Hui of Jin, the adjustments would not have a fatal impact.

Even if a crisis arises, there are solutions.

The best solution is to set up a bank and issue paper money. Paper money will never be short and it is cheap. Then it is regulated through bank lending and deposit interest. But it is unrealistic to propose it now. People cannot accept it. Moreover, this bank is not a national weapon in the end, but will become a tool for major forces to make money. The final result will only be worse. After a big incident, they will first look for Wang Hua.

Wang Hua would not be so stupid. Therefore, he had the idea of ​​piloting in Oceania, but he would not propose it in the Tang Dynasty.

The second is to force the issuance of an edict to plant a certain amount of grain and raising silkworms in various prefectures and counties, prohibiting the construction of temples and Buddhists in various places, and hoarding various merchants. This will involve the interests of many people. Wang Hua proposed it now, but no one will implement it. When he arrived at the Yellow River, his heart would die. If Wang Hua did not propose it, many people would see the crisis and raise it.

Don’t underestimate the ability of the current ministers. Comrade Wei of the Song Dynasty will not talk about it. Yao Yuanzhi outside, Zhang Jiazhen, Wei Zhigu, Zhang Shuo, Yuan Qianyao and other officials in the court, and military generals put aside the soldiers of their blood-character camp, including Guo Yuanzhen, Xue Ne, Tang Xiucai, Zhang Renyuan and others.

Most of these people are disappointed when they see the situation in front of them, so they are lonely and do not say anything. It does not mean that they are incapable of their ability. Once the safety of the Tang Dynasty is involved, they will stand up immediately. So Mu Zili said that it is not easy to rebel. He can only say that he is ahead of the arts, economy and other knowledge. He really talks about the ability to rule or fight. These people may not be really inferior to them. When the situation develops to a certain extent, these ministers will inevitably be unable to calm down and stand up and speak out.

Zhu Quan pondered for a moment. He seemed to understand some of the key points, but he was thinking, how to grasp Wang Hua during this chaotic time, or how to grasp his former boss?

Wang Hua stood up, dusted his clothes, as if he had swept away the withered plum blossoms, and then the spots were red, white and yellow, but the peach blossoms outside began to look like fire, and the pear blossoms were better than snow.

The sky at the end of February is charming, but it is so charming that it does not contain any evil spirit.

It seemed as if Wang Hua's smile as he looked at Zhu Quan's letter.

Zhu Quan stared at this smile and felt a little moved. If it were someone else, he would never be as generous as Wang Hua when he saw his subordinates care so much about his former boss.

Zhu Qi's letter was sent to Taiyuan by fast horse. However, no one came from the Wang family, but a new customer came.

A Turkic man with a pretty appearance at first glance looks no different from a Han Chinese. Wang Hua suspected that he might have more than half of the Han Chinese blood, but this is not the case. If a Turkic man suddenly appears in front of Wang Hua and discusses affairs with him, those who are interested will pay attention. He stopped Wang Hua's riding horse and said, "Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. It's still warm here.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "Come with me."

Compared to the Shulun River, Luoyang is very warm in early March.

Wang Hua asked him to enter the mansion and ordered someone to bring tea. He asked the servant to retreat and asked, "Sir the surname and name?"

"I dare not, I will not be able to leave the surname Helian, and I will be single-named Cheng."

After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms. Wang Hua opened it and saw that it was indeed written by Que Teqin.

Starting from the alliance made two years ago, the two did not interact. It was only a while ago that Wang Hua contacted him to buy livestock. It was possible that the messenger met him. Is this the legendary "intelligence"?

Wang Hua looked at the letter.

The letter only said one thing. Since Li Chongjun rebelled, Mochu's daughter was killed because of this, Mochu was very angry. At this time, Mochu's son Chui said that he would have "a small military service, otherwise he would have been the same as the grassland races that had been dissatisfied with the Turks. Seeing Mochu's "son-in-law" not knowing his life and death, his daughter was killed, Mo said silently. He even more despised the Turkic Khanate.

Some ministers disagreed. Since the reconciliation of the suddenness, they have also brought a chance to breathe, and have also seen that the Turks have developed due to peace over the past year. Moreover, Wang Hua has recently become favored and was promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat. This god of killing is not allowed to be angry, which will put great pressure on the Turks.

After hearing this, Cuju laughed and said that these ministers were a group of uninformed people. If Wang Hua really got trust, why did the soldiers of the Xuezi Camp continue to stay in the Dunan area? Why are the generals who were promoted now wandering in all directions and taking idle positions?

This proves that the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still very afraid of Wang Hua and would not let him take over military power. Besides, it was just a small battle." He pulled out and retreated after the battle.

Mochu agreed to this matter and asked Chuiju to lead his troops himself. However, the time was ready in May, and it was the end of the summer harvest of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Only then did the troops send troops have great "harvest."

After reading the letter, Wang Hua burned it off. Then he asked, "Helian Cheng, your master meant that I wanted me to keep Chuiju in the Tang Dynasty?"

Mochu lets the cumus lead 622. It is to establish the reputation and status of successors to draw each other.

Helian Cheng shook his head: "I am only responsible for bringing letters, I don't know anything else

"After you go back, tell your master that I will not take any action at a young age. Chuijia is right. The emperor will definitely have a taboo formation for me. Even if I send troops, I will not let the soldiers of the Blood Battalion follow me. Moreover, after the army, there will be many trustees who will separate power and monitor me. In this case, I will lead a group of mediocre soldiers, with constraints everywhere. Even if I fight, I will lose more and win less. Therefore, I will not even go to the front line.

Seeing Helian Cheng's eyes were disappointed, Wang Hua turned his mind and said, "But please tell your master again, I will not let him down. As long as his thoughts on the good side of the Tang Dynasty will not change, I will support him. But it may take another two or three years. Besides, your family is sweating profusely. Now the spring and autumn are in full swing, and your master cannot be in the limelight. The wood is in the forest, and the wind will urge him. Now is not the time for your master to rise. Be sure to remember several words, accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become king."

The construction of walls and accumulation of grain as Wang Hua mentioned may not really allow Que Teqin to build walls and accumulate grain, which allows him to secretly develop his power.

This is a warning to Que Teqin not to think randomly for the time being. Mochuo is only in his forties and thinks too much, and he will end up with Li Chongjun.

Wang Hua did not help him kindly. His covenant with Que Teqin has not yet come firmly with the Taiyuan Wang family.

But now Que Teqin and himself sometimes wait for each other to help each other. If Wang Hua succeeds in the future, or Que Teqin succeeds, the covenant will immediately expire. As for what Que Teqin said about being in love with the Tang Dynasty forever, Wang Hua only believes half of it. Perhaps Que Teqin can really take control of the power of the Turks and will take some gentle measures. As for friendship and convincing, Wang Hua will never believe it.

Helian Cheng thanked him and left the Wang family.

Wang Hua called Zhu Quan over and said the purpose of the messenger Que Teqin. Zhu Quan was not surprised when he heard the news of his alliance with Kuo Teqin. In fact, this alliance is worse than doing business and exchanging benefits with each other. There are several sincerity in it, which is very doubtful.

He thought for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult to deal with."

If it was really a small blow, Wang Hua would not be in a dilemma. But if it was a big hit, Li Xian might ask Wang Hua to send troops. After all, Wang Hua had great military achievements and was also an important candidate for the court. But once Wang Hua sent troops, problems followed one after another. Li Xian would not let Wang Hua control the blood character camp again, and would also send people to supervise it. This is still a trivial matter. If Wang Hua wants to defeat his opponent, he must train a elite soldier. Well, now there are many ministers who hate Wang Hua. He must make a big fuss on it. And Li Xian's confrontation with Wang Hua is not like Lao Wu's confrontation with Wang Hua. In the end, the three of them talk about tigers.

As long as Wang Hua moves, no matter the outcome, he will end up in bad luck.

Even Li Guer can’t protect him. No matter how much he protects him, he doesn’t have the emperor’s emperor.

"Yes, it's a bit difficult. I've been thinking about one thing these days, it's time to go to the south

“To the south?”

"Yes, not only to the south." Wang Hua took a map, pointed his hand and pointed at the Beibu Gulf area and said: "Qinzhou

"Qinzhou?" Zhu Cang was shocked. Qinzhou not only belongs to the south, but is already the southern end of Lingnan. It is only a sea away from Qiongzhou and not far from Jiaozhou.

.Mr. Zhu, no matter how great the contribution I have made now, will I be promoted?"

"No" Zhu Quan told the truth. Unless it was abolished and made great contributions, or founded by the founding of the country, in normal times, the position of serving as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue at Wang Hua's age was already at its peak. Either a person was given a vacant position or a title.

"Mr. Zhu, then I just want to help the court do something. What will happen?"

"It is still difficult to do after thinking twice. Be careful. Don't think that if you don't do it well, it will become the target of public criticism.

"Also, what do you think of the King of Xiang? Now the King of the Supervisor smashed my shop. I don't want them to compensate for the loss. But the disagreement was originally akin to the point of public rebellion. I'm afraid that Li Hong and Mu would be eyeing people when they go out to do business in the future. After all, the King of Xiang is a meticulous person. When he arrives in Lingnan, the emperor will be far away.

"I have already written a plan to issue a book. Just follow the plan. Although there are many people participating this time, Hao Pengfei has made progress. But he is still a little tender." Speaking of this, Wang Hua smiled proudly. If we follow normal methods, Wang Hua is not an enclave overseas, because we are concerned about impeachment by others, and it is even worse than that of Zhang and Wang families. But these economic tricks that can make Hao Pengfei and others learn for another hundred years, which is beyond the reach of the world.

"But the emperor will not agree."

"Mr. Xiao Zhu, don't worry, I will have a way to get him to agree."

Wang Hua moved as soon as he was told, and the next day he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue. He sorted out a stack of information and entered the palace. He found Li Xian.

He felt that he was owed Wang Hua because of the death of the Five Kings, and Li Xian immediately sent an order to show him his respect.

Wang Hua opened the information and talked about the increase in the number of households fleeing since last autumn. Li Xian was a little impatient. Wang Hua pretended not to see it and continued: "Your Majesty, I have a good idea to alleviate the pressure on households fleeing."

"end.

The Tang Dynasty did not have land, but the people were concentrated in the Guanluo area, which caused the land to be tight. But what about other places? When my servants raised grain, they saw it in Linyi Zhenla and other places. The local people in Shanyi and Erchi almost did not manage it very much, and it was not like the people in the Tang Dynasty who worked in detail. But that was just a small country, but our Tang Dynasty was a piece of Lingnan. It was dozens of times the area of ​​their country. Although there were many places in the area, there were also many river valleys, basins and plains. If all these places were developed, it would not only relieve the pressure of fleeing households, but also relieve the pressure of food."

This is the migration to Kuanxiang.

The idea is just one idea, but since Laowu, relevant policies have emerged. But the people, let alone Lingnan, are just a terrifying place, and they are not willing to move to Jiangnan.

Li Xian shook his head.

"I have an inappropriate metaphor for over-the-counterfeiting. The King of Chu is so thin. The main reason is that the court has always regarded Lingnan as a place of exile and demonized it. Therefore, I want to go to the pilot and set an example for the people of the world."

"Are you going to Lingnan?" Li Xian was also shocked. But then he said, "If you don't have it, the connection will not be correct."

"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty loves me. But it is related to the country's century-old plan. If the problem of escaping from home is not solved, it will eventually become the biggest hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, once I leave, I will set an example for at most one or two years. I will return to the capital and wait for Your Majesty's condemnation at any time."

Li Xian was still confused. If Wang Hua wanted to go to the northwest, Li Xian would still be worried. When he went to Lingnan, he had no doubts at all. Could it be that Wang Hua would lead an army from Lingnan to open Luoyang and Chang'an to read historical books? There was no such example. The main Wang Hua was the Minister of Revenue, who had made great contributions to the court. When he went to Lingnan, what was this? "The country is the most important." Wang Hua kowtowed three times.

A country is the most important thing, and Li Xian can’t speak even more.

Wang Hua said again: "And I have three requirements. Let me choose the first place I go."

"Okay, the Union will let you serve as the governor of Guangzhou." Li Xian probably didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't even think about it. The only official position in Lingnan can be given is this official position.

"No, I ask Your Majesty to allow me to serve as the governor of Qinzhou."

"Guan of Qinzhou?" Li Xian was shocked again.

Qinzhou is not the later Qinzhou. The population of the city and its jurisdiction reached nearly 7 million. Qinzhou now has five counties. Speaking of which, not only the households in the five counties only have 2,000 households and 10,000 people. It was an unknown Xia County in the Tang Dynasty. Li Xian didn't look at the map and didn't know where it was.

"My memory has another requirement, that is, to build two roads, the expenses and food of the people, will be borne by me. But each prefecture and county must assist in the corresponding succession. As well as the fields occupied by the roads, the state and county must also be integrated with each prefecture and county.

With explosives, Wang Hua also has confidence in speaking. Otherwise, Wang Hua would not have the courage to say this requirement if he opened mountains and ridges along the road. Although the black gunpowder is very powerful, it is much simpler than the cold and cold gravel used now. Of course, Wang Hua can only produce the corresponding material and food expenses. Wang Hua still can't afford the money for the civil servants. Especially for the land compensation costs, Wang Hua doesn't want to bear it, nor can he afford it.

It was precisely because of the appearance of explosives that he had the idea of ​​going to Lingnan. He stayed in Luoyang and was distorted with Li Dan. He was very worried. He avoided the fear of someone following Mu Fangli secretly and letting his secret leak out.

After going to Lingnan, Li Dan couldn't stretch his hand. As long as he had another one or two years, his strength would grow stronger. Naturally, he was not afraid.

Moreover, when he went to Lingnan, he also made it easier for him to use his power to mobilize the people to Yangzhou.

"Build two roads? What scales should I build?"

Wang Hua asked the eunuchs beside Li Xian to bring a map of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua followed Qinzhou all the way westward, through Pazhou and Panzhou, Kunzhou, one to the north, through Xunzhou to Guizhou and Yongzhou.

Li Xian looked at the map and said, "Wang Qing, are you sure?"

"I have determined to complete this matter, but it will take more than a year." It seems that the road is long, and I have crossed many mountains and rivers along the way. But as long as I use black gunpowder to make the mountain rationally, this most important problem will be solved, and the rest will not be difficult.

First of all, there are roads. There are many roads, so you can widen them and penetrate them. Secondly, the roads are not highways now. They are nothing more than laying a layer of gravel, gravel and yellow sand, compacting mud and stone sand materials to prevent loss and adhesion in rainy days. As long as the officials of states and counties along the way do not make things difficult and cooperate with Wang Hua, it is not difficult to achieve and it does not matter if they make things difficult. You can take a detour at that time. On the contrary, these officials will lose their discipline because of losing their discipline.

In fact, if these two roads are penetrated, it is very important. Going westward, you can connect the ancient tea-horse road, and in the future, you can quickly transfer the army to prevent the Liuzhao from causing trouble. Moreover, the products from the Yunnan-Guizhou area can also be transported to Qinzhou for sale. What is Qinzhou? It is a natural port that the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not know, but Wang Hua could let this port go?

The northward road is equally important and is connected to the Xiangjiang River Basin.

If these two avenues are successfully built, coupled with the port, their contribution to the entire Lingnan will be far beyond everyone's imagination.

Wang Hua said again: "In addition, Your Majesty will set up a maritime envoy in Qinzhou to manage maritime trade."

This is also very important. Once Li Xian agrees, then Qinzhou's overseas trade will be legal. Otherwise, Wang Hua would not dare to open the wharf after repairing it. That would be a violation.

After Wang Hua finished speaking, he looked at Li Xian and waited for him to agree, and then he became a big bird flying freely and a big fish swimming freely in the sea.
Chapter completed!
