Great Tang Broom Star

The Ministry of War failed to find a craftsman who was good at finding silver mines.

"This matter is going to the Ministry of Industry, but the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are almost enshrined, let alone borrowed, even the Ministry of Industry is very cautious in using them. If they are accidentally killed by a big stone when they dig the mountain, Yan Establish instinct and work hard with people."

Ren Yaxiang felt that Yan Liben was a little too arrogant, "If you borrow him, you will definitely not agree."

"Have to try."

Jia Pingan went to the Ministry of Industry.

"Yan Gong!"

Yan Liben wanted to run away when he heard this voice, "Is it Xiao Jia? Hey! I still owe him a painting, so I'm going to die."

He has a lot of work in the Ministry of Industry, and painting is just a hobby. But there is nothing he can do because he is too famous, and there are so many people looking for him to paint. If you agree, you will suffer, if you don't agree, others will think you are pretending.

My life is so miserable.

Yan Liben had a straight face, "The old man is very busy."

"Yan Gong looked at... unexpectedly much younger?"

There was joy in Jia Ping'an's voice.

how? Could it be that the cultivation method that the old man consulted with Li Banxian recently worked?

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry needs to climb up and down. Yan Liben is getting old, and his legs and feet are gradually inconvenient, so he invited a medical officer to see it. The medical officer said that this is an irreparable human defect. Can only turn to outsiders for help.

Li Banxian taught him a set of health-preserving methods, and he did it every morning with breathing. After finishing, his whole body was warm and comfortable.

"Is there something wrong with Xiao Jia?"

Old Yan's smile was extraordinarily sincere.

Praise others, and you will gain sincerity.

Sure enough, the difference between nonsense and acting by ear is too great.

Jia Ping's eyes swept across the room, and Yan Liben felt that a wolf had come... He clearly wanted to see if there were paintings and calligraphy, and if there were, the book would definitely be empty.

"Yan Gong!" Jia Pingan said with a smile: "Nowadays there is a shortage of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty, not only the cloth is regarded as money, but also the spices.

Mr. Yan, if things go on like this, it's wrong! "

Yan Liben sighed: "Everyone knows it's wrong, but what can we do?"

Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "Where's the gold and silver from Datang?"

"Using gold and silver as coins has been a dream for hundreds of years, but it is too little. If it is spread out, the family can get a little bit. How do you calculate the price? Make gold and silver bit by bit..."

Yan Liben shook his head, "It's too little. If it is used as currency, those aristocratic families and dignitaries will hoard gold and silver when they receive it. They can hoard as much as they send out from the court... In fact, why is there a shortage of copper coins? The lack of copper mines is one reason. , the important thing is that those people are hoarding copper coins, they can only get in and out.”

"They'd rather keep the coins than use them, bug!"

Jia Pingan thought of the archeology of later generations. After digging, he found that the copper coins inside were piled up like a mountain... probably they wanted to take them underground for use.

Could it be possible that a solid copper coin can also become a virtual body?

In the end, the descendants of future generations have nothing to do with those oxidized copper coins...

All wasted.

"Well, the old man is still busy!"

Yan Liben issued an order to expel the guests.

"Yan Gong." Jia Pingan learned Yan Liben's attitude after some probing, and immediately changed the plan of persuading him from A to B.

"What will happen if a large amount of gold and silver enters Datang?"

"How big is the large group?" Yan Liben was a little at a loss.

Jia Pingan said calmly: "One million taels per year."

It used to account for 30% of the world's silver production. How big do you think it is?

And looking for... actually Iwami Ginzan's final discovery is quite dramatic. A businessman passed by in a boat and glanced at the shore, only to see the silvery mountain...

The businessman was in the precious metal business, and he was overwhelmed just by looking at it, and then he went ashore to look for it, and found Iwami Yinshan.

The uncomplicated process brought jaw-dropping consequences... Relying on the millions of taels of silver exported to Ming Dynasty every year, the shogunate at that time prospered.

In the early stage, it was Japanese silver, and in the late stage, it was South American silver. The silver continuously produced by these two major silver producing areas was swallowed up by the behemoth Daming, and Daming didn’t even burp after swallowing it, which shows how commercially developed Ming was at that time.

It's a pity that the group of people who got rich first after the development of commerce had selfish motives... These people were either scholar-bureaucrats or were closely related to scholar-bureaucrats. After getting rich, their first thought was not to family and country, but to stare at the world with red eyes Whoever gives me money is my father and mother!

Later, this group of people hollowed out Da Ming without hesitation, even if they were enemies.

In the era when literati and businessmen joined hands to share the fat, the background was ridiculous benevolence and morality.

At that time, after years of evolution, Confucianism had transformed from a theory to a religion... Confucianism!

Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Confucianism rules the secular world, and Taoism and Buddhism also have to bow down and make friends with Confucianism.

But eating too ugly will inevitably lead to blood, and then they will cover themselves with a layer of morality... What we teach and learn is benevolence, righteousness and morality, but everyone who enters my Confucianism door is moral Gentleman....

This group of moral gentlemen then staged a farce. Even if Daming was brought down, they still stuck their necks and said: We are gentlemen, Daming... Does Daming's downfall have anything to do with us?

No!

They said categorically, "It's all due to the emperor's incompetence. We moral gentlemen have tried our best, but it's a pity... hey!"

If you say that they are not moral gentlemen, these gentlemen will criticize you by citing scriptures.

——Do you know our pair of couplets?

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything concerned.

Look, is this a moral gentleman?

Is this worrying about the world?

In an era when the people are being deceived, these words are admirable.

Jia Ping'an thought of these things in a wild way in his mind, and then smiled.

"One million taels?"

Yan Liben blinked, "Xiao Jia, are you trying to trick me?"

Lao Yan took the bait.

Jia Ping'an looked sincere, "Mr. Yan, what's the benefit of me lying to you?"

yes ha!

"Yan Gong, some people said that even if the gods came to Sanmenxia, ​​they would not be able to get through. What happened later?"

Later, he was picked up by Jia with gunpowder bit by bit. From then on, there was no crisis of food shortage in Chang'an, and the emperor didn't need to sneak to Luoyang with his family and courtiers to eat.

Yan Liben, who had just had doubts in his heart, really nodded and stroked his beard, "What do you want?"

No one is a fledgling kid, and you, Jia Pingan, throw out millions of taels of silver chips every year, and there must be a price.

"More than a dozen sharp-bottomed boats, the most important thing is...the more craftsmen who can find silver mines, the better."

hiss!

Yan Liben took a deep breath, "It's easy to talk about boats. There are a lot of sharp-bottomed boats out now, and it's time to go sailing to try the wind and waves. But craftsmen...Xiao Jia, the Ministry of Industry has no surplus food!"

"Yan Gong."

Jia Ping'an suddenly had a straight face, and Yan Liben couldn't help but shudder.

"Those craftsmen have been looking for gold, silver and copper mines in Datang for many years. How many have they found? How much are those mines producing each year? Add up to one million taels of silver per year?"

Yan Liben shook his head.

"Since that's the case, can't we let them try it? What if... it works?"

Jia Pingan got up, put his hands on the table, and leaned over to look at Yan Liben, "Mr. Yan, these days, the bold will die, and the timid will die from starvation. The Ministry of Industry has been disadvantaged in prospecting these years, but this is an opportunity. Mr. Yan, There will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, hang your sails straight to the sea!"

He said seriously: "Mr. Yan, I don't want my children to be caught by wolves, I don't want my daughter-in-law... I don't want a few craftsmen who earn millions of taels of silver every year... Where can you find it? Which is more important..."

Looking at Lao Yan's high blood pressure that was about to burst his forehead, Jia Pingan smiled slightly in his heart and drifted away.

Brother's method of persuasion is really beneficial!

He returned to the Ministry of War.

"how?"

Ren Yaxiang asked casually.

"It should work."

Ah!

Wu Kui gave a dry laugh.

Ren Yaxiang glanced at Jia Pingan, "That's good...the old man has more things to do..."

Everyone has a lot of things to do, except Master Jia who is idle.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and then went to Gao Yang's place.

Take the time to cultivate a relationship with your son, so that you won't worry about the deterioration of the relationship between father and son after you travel far.

The new city is also there today.

Why is this girl getting fairer and fairer?

That face looked... full of collagen, and its expression became softer and softer. Jia Pingan seemed to see a small white flower blooming leisurely.

"Xiao Jia, you wander around all day, aren't you bored?"

"Why are you bored?" Jia Pingan knew that this girl had some psychological problems, "Everyone has different pursuits in life, you feel uneasy when you see others busy, and feel that you are too idle, but you don't know that those busy people are envious of you leisurely."

These words brightened Xincheng's eyes, "Xiao Jia can always say something that catches people's eyes."

That's... an old psychologist.

"The biggest mistake people make is to blindly follow the group or the object of their admiration to learn...to learn their attitude towards life."

Not everyone is an iron man who can work sixteen hours a day.

Jia Ping'an's words made Xincheng nod his head and praised: "I understand."

This girl is now a widow, and the original man was still charged with crimes. The point is that she has no children, so she feels empty, lonely and cold...

"Go and find fun for yourself. People who live in this world should treat themselves kindly. Look at Gaoyang. If you want to go hunting, go hunting. If you want to hunt outside the city, go hunting. If you want to find someone to drink, hold a big banquet..."

This is life.

Xincheng was silent for a long time.

Later she appeared at the palace.

"Xincheng!"

The emperor and empress were very enthusiastic. The emperor put aside political affairs and chatted with his sister about her life's events.

"I've been thinking about several outstanding young people recently..."

Listening to what he said, Xincheng was a little distracted.

Even if I find another son-in-law, what am I living for?

To have a baby?

Xincheng suddenly felt a little reconciled.

She has been staying at home these days, and sometimes she feels sorry for herself, throwing all her shortcomings and mistakes on herself, and then feels that it is a mistake for her to live.

Sometimes I feel that I am like a dead wood, living meaninglessly.

but……

At this moment the emperor mentioned the matter of the son-in-law, but Xiao Jia's words unexpectedly woke her up.

"I'm in no hurry."

Xincheng suddenly recalled these days.

Occasionally, when she was not depressed, that day... was really calm and breezy, and it was extraordinarily pleasant.

But why should I be depressed?

In the final analysis, it is because I have no children!

Why have children?

Because others have it, I don't feel ashamed and out of place.

What Xiao Jia said...the biggest mistake people make is to blindly follow the group or the object of their admiration to learn. It's okay to learn anything else...don't try to imitate their attitude towards life.

Yes!

I am me, others are others, how other people like to live has nothing to do with me?

After figuring this out, Xincheng suddenly lifted his spirits, Wu Mei said in surprise: "Why do you feel that Xincheng has been reborn?"

Once a person has figured it out, the whole person will undergo surprising changes from temperament to spirit.

"The matter of the son-in-law... just follow the fate."

Xincheng is in a good mood, and Li Zhi is also happy for her, but he will inevitably worry about her future.

"It's fine to follow fate." Wu Mei thought about the matter between herself and the emperor.

The same is obviously true of Li Zhi.

But people can't be too boring... This is Li Zhi's idea.

"You can come to the palace to take a look if you have nothing to do in Xincheng. There are many things in the clan, and you can help."

Xincheng agreed and left immediately.

Walking in the palace, looking at those gradually unfamiliar people, Xincheng's mood gradually became depressed...and then cheered up again.

I live my own!

"Princess."

The maid reminded her in a low voice to look ahead.

Two women came in front, one old and one young, no, it was a woman and a girl.

"It's the lady, mother and daughter."

There was a little disdain in the maid's eyes.

I won't talk about rushing the child into the palace, but what is the matter of mother and daughter together!

Xincheng looked at Wushun's mother and daughter approaching with a calm expression. They approached and saluted.

"Meet the princess."

Xincheng nodded slightly, and then the two passed by.

"This princess looks at..." Wu Shun thought for a while, "It reminds me of Little White Flower."

He Lan Minyue nodded, "Me too."

Xiao Baihua turned around and watched their mother and daughter go in, and asked: "The emperor has been seeing them?"

The accompanying maid was very embarrassed, "Princess..."

"Say it."

Xincheng is Li Zhi's only biological younger sister. In the past, she just didn't like to show off. Now her face turned cold, and the maid immediately stood up with her arms tied, "Yes, but after Yang Yushi impeached His Majesty last time, the mother and daughter have no more than one month's work. Palace several times."

"Why impeachment?"

Isn't Yang Deli Xiao Jia's cousin? Why impeach the emperor?

Xiao Baihua has been complaining to herself in her own mansion all day long, and now she is about to learn to come out, only to realize that she is extremely unfamiliar with the outside world.

"It's true... Your Majesty's condition is serious, and you need to be pure-hearted, but your Majesty frequently summons the mother and daughter, saying that Your Majesty... is lustful, which is why he has frequent illnesses."

Xincheng frowned, "It's so courageous."

"yes!"

The court lady felt the same way, "They say that Yang Yushi is bolder than Wei Zheng."

Xincheng said indifferently: "Wei Zheng is an old minister, and he has a tacit understanding with the late emperor. Yang Deli...is really bold."

As a royal family, she certainly knew what was hidden behind Wei Zheng's offense and Yan Zhijian.

In contrast, Yang Deli is really bold.

Lengtouqing!

"Is the emperor in poor health?"

"Yes, the previous few illnesses were scary. Mr. Sun went to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, but there was nothing he could do. He said he needed to be raised, but he couldn't be cured."

Xincheng sighed, and when she arrived at the palace gate later, she stopped suddenly, "Wait a minute."

After more than an hour, the maid was a little uneasy, "Princess, why don't you... enter the palace."

It's okay for you to stand all the time!

Xincheng shook his head and looked outside calmly.

Outside is the imperial city, officials come in and out, either happy or sad... This is life!

Xincheng suddenly realized.

"The mother and daughter are here."

Wu Shun and He Lan Minyue came.

Xin Cheng turned around, Wu Shun and the two were startled, just about to salute, Xin Cheng walked over indifferently between his brows, and said indifferently: "To be a man, one must be content, and to do things one must know how to measure. If you are not content, if you don't know how to measure...it will not end well."

She nodded slightly, turned and left.

What do you mean by this...?

Everyone immediately thought of the relationship between the mother and daughter and the emperor.

Be content!

You already have the title of wife, don't think about going any further, let alone pushing your daughter out to fight the queen...

These words later reached the ears of the empress.

Li Zhi was dumbfounded.

He has already restrained himself, and now he only lets the mother and daughter enter the palace several times a month.

If it was someone else, he could punish her, but this is his sister!

"Xincheng..." The emperor smiled wryly, "She is worried about my body, and even more worried about my harem being in chaos."

How smart is Xincheng?

Just thinking about it for a while, I thought of the trouble this mother and daughter would bring to the palace.

This is also a veiled suggestion to the emperor: the queen's authority must be established in the palace, and others must not be allowed to provoke the queen... Otherwise, chaos will not be far away.

Queen Wang's Yin Jian is not far away!

Wu Mei was dazed for a moment after learning about it, and sighed: "She was silent, as if she didn't care about everything in the world. But she is the daughter of the late emperor after all, and I know the arrogance hidden in her weakness. Talk... that's all, come on."

"Queen!"

Loyal servant Shaopeng stepped forward.

Wu Mei ordered: "The few families that the emperor visited for Xincheng recently... tell them to disperse, don't push hard."

Shao Peng was shocked.

"yes."

If Xincheng didn't express this kindness, the empress would naturally sit back and watch the emperor choose her son-in-law... No matter whether it's good or bad, it's the emperor who decides, and she can't blame her afterwards.

This is more than one thing.

Those families have been very aggressive lately, and they all want to become the emperor's brother-in-law...

Wu Mei said mockingly: "They all want to give up a man in the family to seek benefits for the family."

Zhou Shanxiang sighed: "If there is no benefit, few would be willing to become the princess!"

A single word of shang expressed the heartache of the son-in-law.

Even if someone else is a son-in-law, he is not as humble as a son-in-law, so why should I be a princess if there is no great benefit?

This is the reason why it is difficult for the emperor to marry a daughter. In the past, the son-in-law can participate in the government, so the world flocks to her. But those son-in-laws were careless, ambitious and turned themselves into a negative teaching material, and then once the banner of guarding against foreign relatives was erected, the son-in-law would no longer be able to participate in politics... Then why should Princess Shang do it?

"Ping'an is lucky." Wu Mei smiled slightly.

Shaopeng went out of the palace to those families in person.

"Officer Shao..."

Did you fall in love with my son?

Seeing his master's ecstasy in his fifties, Shaopeng sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "The queen ordered that the marriage of the princess of Xincheng depends on fate, so you don't need to work hard."

That ecstatic face instantly turned livid...

...

Ask for a monthly pass!
