Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

This time, the visitor to Jinque Tiangong is not the former head trainer of Xuanwu Palace, but the ‘Chief of Qinglong Palace, Shenhua’. This is a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a fairy-like temperament.

When this person visited the Champion Hou Mansion, Li Xuan was at a nearby restaurant, hosting a banquet for Ma Chenghua, a doctor in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, Li Yuan, a doctor in the Shanxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Zhang Tian, ​​the current Shandong Salt Patrolling Censor.

So when Li Xuan learned that the head of Qinglong Palace, Shenhua, came to visit, he didn't pay much attention and just let Li Dalu entertain him.

Didn't he leave these distinguished guests alone and run back to meet Si Shenhua and rush over to curry favor with them?

Li Xuan knew that in the eyes of many people in Jinque Tiangong, he was the source of trouble, so he made his position clear early and placed Jinque Tiangong within the enemy's territory.

There is no need to give such enemies a good look.

Therefore, Li Xuan valued the three guests in front of him far more than the master of Qinglong Palace.

Even though these people have low positions and are only fourth- and fifth-grade officials, they are all powerful beings in the court.

Needless to say, the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War is the organization in charge of the "selection, teaching and examination courses" of the guards.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army also controls the appointment, dismissal and promotion of military attachés all over the world, but it requires the counter-signature of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War to take effect.

Shanxi Qing Lisi Langzhong was in charge of the taxation and finance of Shanxi Province. His power was far greater than that of the modern State Administration of Taxation. .

As for the Shandong Salt Patrol Censor, that was the most powerful and lucrative job in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But in the end, Si Shenhua didn't wait at his champion's residence, but ran over directly.

Li Xuan was helpless about this, thinking that if the Master of Qinglong Palace was willing to wait outside the restaurant, then just wait.

It is not convenient for this person to observe what he is discussing with these three people.

"So what the champion is saying is to screen out the salt introductions issued in the past few years and then abolish them?"

Zhang Tian, ​​the censor of the Salt Patrol, frowned slightly at this time: "But this is not easy to handle. It will offend many people."

Li Xuan smiled and toasted a glass of wine: "It will offend some people, but aren't most of these people in prison? In the previous case of Xia Guangwei's redress, many salt merchants in Beizhili and Shandong were involved. .

Mr. Zhang, you are well aware of the Salt Administration chaos in recent years. Those salt-induced releases are mostly the result of malpractice. Nowadays, all the regular salt merchants in the world are looking forward to someone in the court to bring order to the chaos and uphold justice.

If you can clean up the salt imports of the past few years and redistribute them, I believe many people will be grateful to you, and this will also benefit the people around the world who have suffered due to the salt policy. "

When Zhang Tian, ​​the censor of the Salt Patrol, heard this, his mind moved slightly. He understood what Li Xuan meant.

If these salt quotas could be abolished and then distributed, it would be like dividing the pancakes again.

This is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing for the court, the people, the salt merchants, the dignitaries of all parties, and even himself.

He, the newly appointed salt patrol censor, needed political achievements to consolidate.

But Zhang Tian still hesitated: "It seems that Zhang also has this idea. The problem is General Liang Heng. As far as I know, a large part of the salt distributed in recent years has fallen into the hands of Liang Heng and he is close to him." In the hands of someone——"

His words stopped abruptly at this moment because Zhang Tian, ​​the censor of the Salt Patrol, remembered the recent grudge between Li Xuan and Liang Heng.

This champion doesn't care about the former General Zhenshuo.

Zhang Tian even began to wonder in his mind whether the person who suggested that he clean up the salt administration was targeting Liang Heng?

"Even if you are a general, you must abide by the laws of the court!"

Li Xuan held the wine glass in his hand and smiled coldly: "Master Zhang, if this great general dares to do anything, Li will never sit idly by."

Zhang Tian immediately knew what was going on, and thought that this person was indeed targeting Liang Heng.

After contemplating for a moment, he cupped his fists and said, "What the champion said makes sense, but this matter is of great concern after all. Please allow Zhang to think about it carefully."

In his heart, he was already leaning toward Li Xuan. After all, this champion had an overall advantage in terms of power in the court, momentum, and the high-ranking people he could mobilize.

He was also a protector of Neo-Confucianism and shocked the world with his two articles "Gewu" and "Yuan Dao". As a Confucian scholar, Zhang Tian had a natural affinity for Li Xuan.

If Li Xuan were older, had a higher level of cultivation, and wrote some classics, he would be expected to become a Confucian sub-sage.

The key is that what the other party requests is upright, has nothing to do with personal ethics, and is of great benefit to the people of the world, which can effectively suppress the price of salt.

But after all, this matter is related to his future, wealth and life, so Zhang Tian has to act cautiously.

Li Xuan then looked at Li Yuan, a doctor in the Shanxi Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "I heard that the Hengliang Escort Bureau of the Liang Heng clan does a lot of business in Shanxi. They have a hand in almost all businesses?"

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile secretly, knowing that it was his turn.

However, instead of being annoyed, he was delighted.

He didn't have a deep background in the court. He got to this point by relying on his steadfastness and ability and the reliance of his superior Xiao Ci.

However, Li Yuan and Xiao Ci, the Minister of Household Affairs, were not of the same party, and he did not want to get involved with the deposed emperor and deposed prince.

Xiao Ci only relied on his ability in financial management and expenditure to let him take charge of the Shanxi Qing Officials Department.

But as the struggle over the succession of the imperial line between the DPRK and China became more and more intense, Li Yuan felt more and more pressure from his superiors.

Li Yuan attaches great importance to this opportunity to marry the champion: "This Hengliang Escort Bureau is indeed powerful. Now all caravans, freight, etc. in Shanxi Yiyi must be escorted by people from the Hengliang Escort Bureau, otherwise something will happen.

Even the imperial court's grain trucks still need to be staffed by some bodyguards from the Hengliang Bodyguard Bureau. The key is that the Hengliang Escort Bureau is also established in Shanxi. They have more than 9,000 escorts and more than 3,000 escorts, among whom there are many experts. In addition, there are also three thousand elite servants of General Liang Heng as their backing.

Therefore, the Hengliang Escort Bureau not only dominates Shanxi, but is also famous outside the Great Wall, Guanzhong, Henan, and Hebei. No one in the world dares to take advantage of them. "

"Three thousand escorts? Nine thousand executioners? Isn't this the same as a private army?"

Li Xuan asked calmly: "Sir, do you think that the escort affairs in Shanxi Province are all monopolized by one family? Is this a good thing?"

"For the imperial court and the common people, this is of course as bad as it gets. The so-called shopkeepers cheat customers. Shanxi's freight charges are the most expensive in the world, three times more expensive than those in Beizhili."

Li Yuan, a doctor in the Shanxi Qing Dynasty Department of Household Affairs, shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "This has also made things in Shanxi more expensive. It is obvious that the imperial court is frivolous in corvee and low in taxes, but the people in Shanxi are living in poverty."

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "I have discussed with the Shanxi Inspector and asked him to strictly investigate the route guide of the Hengliang Escort Bureau. But this is not enough. I hope that all escort matters in Shanxi will be excluded from the Hengliang Escort Bureau from today on. outer."

In the Jin Dynasty, road guidance was a very important thing. People would not be able to leave the local area without road guidance issued by the government.

Even those who have a good reputation, such as being a scholar, have to say hello to the government when they go to other places.

There are over 10,000 people in the Hengliang Escort Bureau, so it is impossible for everyone to have a guide.

"To be honest with the champion, I hope to get rid of this malignant tumor in Shanxi." Li Yuan said with a solemn expression: "As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, we don't want to spend more money. The problem is the safety of those grains, grass and materials. I'm worried about the consequences.

As far as I know, there are at least three families of horse thieves involved with the Liang family in Shanxi. They have nearly a thousand riders, and sometimes the servants of the Liang Mansion will join them. "

After hearing this, Li Xuan raised his lips slightly: "So this money still has to be spent. Before the situation calms down, I will ask the Artifact Alliance to take over the imperial court's grain and grass shipments until Shanxi is safe."

Li Yuan, a doctor in the Shanxi Qing Dynasty Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, no longer hesitated: "Sure! After Li returns, he will send the documents to various warehouses!"

At this time, Ma Chenghua, the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "As far as I know, General Liang Heng's three thousand servants all relied on the salt in his hand. There are Henglian Escort Agency to provide support.

Did the Champion Hou single-handedly cut off his two major financial sources? Did he want to break up the three thousand servants under General Zhenshuo who had made great military exploits? "

He was not as polite to Li Xuan as the two next to him. Recently, the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion where Li Xuan was located had had more than one conflict with their military department.

However, both sides are fighting for their own good, so Ma Chenghua came to the banquet.

Li Xuan asked with sharp eyes: "So Ma Langzhong thinks that the three thousand servants under the command of General Zhenshuo are good or bad for the court?

Will there be endless troubles if the generals of the imperial court are allowed to run the salt affairs and escort bureaus? Is your Ministry of War still going to sit back and watch? "

He knew that the reason why Zhenshuo General Liang Heng was able to achieve such great achievements in the salt affairs and escort bureau was actually because of the tacit approval of the imperial court.

In the early years of Jingtai, the court had no food and pay, and the guardsmen were unable to fight. Emperor Jingtai and Yu Jie could only turn a blind eye to Liang Heng's actions of plundering money and supporting private soldiers.

After all, whether it is salt escort or escort, it is a formal business.

But Li Xuan believes that now is the time to bring order to the chaos and solve this kind of historical problem.

Ma Chenghua couldn't help but be dumbfounded, UU read www. uｕkanshu.net He thought this was certainly inappropriate.

After all, the disasters caused by the vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty were caused by the military men taking over the financial power.

Although it has been normal for military commanders to support their families since the Zhengtong period of the Jin Dynasty, no one could operate on the scale of Liang Heng.

Ma Chenghua smiled bitterly and said: "What the champion said makes sense, but it seems that I can't help with these two things?"

Li Xuan smiled and said: "It can help! Master Ma, doesn't he think it would be a terrible thing if these three thousand servants were allowed to scatter outside without anyone to control them?

I know that the Jin Dynasty plans to recruit 20,000 troops in Yunnan in order to deal with the Luchuan chieftain. Can the imperial court recruit some? Also, Liang Biao, the nephew of General Liang Heng, is extremely brave. It would be a pity to leave him idle. Can he be transferred to Yunnan and given a real job? It can cope with the changes in Luchuan. "

When Ma Chenghua heard this, he thought that this man was indeed as rumored, ruthless and vicious, yet upright.
