When Li Zhi saw Han Yi, he immediately agreed and was stunned for a long time, but he had already said that he could not take it back. Since that was the case, it would be fine. Anyway, the official prostitute had little to do with him, so he could accept the reduction of the palace prostitute. Moreover, Wu Meiniang would definitely let Wu Meiniang deal with the words of the palace prostitute. This is possible.

Wu Meiniang was still worried, but when she saw that Han Yi was full of confidence, she stopped talking.

In fact, Han Yi himself does not oppose brothels. The world more than a thousand years later told him that this was impossible to prohibit. He just opposed the government's opening brothels, because this did not generate any value except for breeding and consuming the national treasury. Nowadays, industry and commerce are in urgent need of high-end talents. It is meaningless to let these smart women go to accompany men. If they are guided to the business world, it can bring a lot of wealth to the country. This is what Han Yi desires the most.

In fact, the most similar thing about Han Yi and Wu Meiniang is that they are good at seizing opportunities.

After leaving the palace, Han Yi went straight to Li Ji's house.

Why do you find Li Ji first? First, he is old and cannot play with women, which does not harm Li Ji's personal interests. Second, Li Ji's support is very important because he represents the military. The Tang Dynasty's military is completely different from the Song Dynasty's military. Even if it is true, Li Zhi attaches great importance to the military. Since he came to power, the military has never had any problems, and reforms are beneficial to the military.

Han Yi came to Li Ji's house and was straight to the point, hoping that Li Ji could support his policy of reducing official prostitutes.

Li Ji was stunned after hearing this, and felt a little confused. This kid was crazy, so he said unhappy: "You really don't mind the trouble. Now the court is in chaos, and you have to continue making trouble. Just rectify the folk brothel business. Why do you want to be an official prostitute again? You will only cause a bigger storm."

Han Yi ignored him at all and said, "Sikong, reduce the expenses saved by official prostitutes, and will all be used to establish Zhaoyi Academy for the widows of the fallen soldiers."

Li Ji frowned and remained silent.

It is because of the reduction of official prostitutes offending so many people. All civil and military officials in the court have to offend them. You want to exchange several academies, but there is no door, but it is not convenient for him to say it. After all, this is still good for soldiers.

Han Yi said again: "If Sikong promises to support me, I promise to make all preparations for attacking Goguryeo within two years. At that time, Sikong, you can fight if you want, and you don't need to worry about the rear. I promise that there will be no problems in the logistics. As long as you win, I promise that the soldiers will receive the highest rewards ever, including ordinary soldiers, which will be a pleasant war. Take a step back and say that even if Goguryeo is not eliminated, as long as you can achieve the results of Taizong Sheng's attack on Goguryeo, there will be no problems. What do you think?"

Li Ji's eyes flashed suddenly, as if he was dozens of years younger, looking at Han Yi with a hint of surprise.

This time it’s Han Yi’s turn to stop talking. We don’t talk about morality or favors, just exchange of political interests. If you agree to support me, I will agree to support you.

"Take it seriously?" Li Ji said.

Han Yi said: "It's true!"

Li Ji felt that happiness came too quickly and said, "It is not worth mentioning compared to attacking Goguryeo! Why do you do this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Actually, there is some connection between the two, but now no one will believe it, but Sikong, you will know it. As for why I do this, it is because I am prepared for danger in times of peace. Now the number of official prostitutes is increasing exponentially. If I don't stop it, the expenditure of finance for official prostitutes will also increase exponentially. I am a businessman and I hope to spend every penny on the edge. If I develop the habit of waste, then the finance will sooner or later have a crisis. This is a small matter in Sikong's view, but in the eyes of me, the Minister of Revenue, it is a big matter. Cutting official prostitutes can save tens of thousands of yuan in expenditures, and a million yuan a year, and how many soldiers can be raised after accumulating it."

Li Ji asked again: "Then did you tell His Majesty?"

Han Yi said: "I will not hide it from Sikong. His Majesty said that if I can get Sikong's support, he will also be willing to cut down on the palace prostitutes."

Li Ji pondered for a moment and said, "What do I need to do?"

Han Yi said: "Sikong just needs to support me in the hall."

Li Ji nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

"Thank you Sikong!"

If he did not agree, Li Ji was just a fool. He had always dreamed of sending troops to attack Goguryeo again. He was not young and had not many years to wait. He was afraid that it would cause many problems in the country like the first time. Han Yi now assured him that there was no problem with the logistics, and there was only one requirement. Just don’t just be like Emperor Yang of Sui. No one could afford to bury the 100,000 soldiers in Guryeo, even if they were the same as Li Shimin.

Of course this is agreed, this kind of transaction is really cost-effective.

After leaving Sikong Mansion, Han Yima rushed to the Censorate without stopping. It was really like he was in the process, because he was really busy, and he had to take advantage of the storm of the Ci'en Temple case to settle this matter.

"Han Shangshu is here, and he will be welcomed by mistake. I will forgive him for his crimes and forgive him for his crimes!"

Wei Siqian was very surprised when he saw Han Yi coming suddenly.

"I dare not, I dare not, I am taking the initiative to visit, and I didn't disturb Wei Zhongcheng."

"No, no, Shangshu Han, please."

After coming to the house to sit down, Wei Siqian asked, "Shangshu Han came to visit, I don't know what's going on?"

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "That's right. I think our joint inspection of the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate last year has achieved good results. And Wei Zhongcheng, you also know that whenever there is any problem with finance, this kind of joint inspection can also allow the Censor to supervise the officials of our Ministry of Revenue at will."

Wei Siqian smiled and said, "Shangshu Han really coincides with me!"

"Is that true?" Han Yi was overjoyed and said, "Then it's settled."

Wei Siqian nodded.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, I also hope that the Censorate can step up inspections of various places. After all, Chang'an's prosperity does not represent anything."

Wei Siqian said: "I have this plan, too."

Han Yi stopped when he clicked. After all, this was the matter of the Censorate. He couldn't say too much, so he coughed lightly and said, "In addition, I have something to ask for when I come here."

Wei Siqian said without saying a word: "Shangshu Han, please tell me."

Han Yi said: "This matter is also about the Ci'en Temple case. At that time, we said that the court should try every means to prevent such cases from happening. I think the fundamental reason for jealousy is that the trend of visiting prostitutes in our court is too strong, and the scale of prostitutes is constantly expanding. I hope to stop this unhealthy trend and avoid more right and wrong, and officials' consciences. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to reduce the official prostitutes and palace prostitutes. Your Majesty and the Queen's support, including Sikong, also supported it, but Your Majesty still hopes to get the support of Wei Zhongcheng and the entire Censorate."

Wei Siqian is a workaholic and is really not very good at this. He likes to handle official duties. Now that he hears the emperor again, Sikong agrees. Of course he agrees. Anyway, there is an emperor and Sikong in front of him, and he said, "Please rest assured, Shangshu Han, I will definitely support you in this matter."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

After coming out of the Censorate, Han Yi went to the Ministry of Justice to find Lu Chengqing and Huangmen Minister Xu Yushi. The ministers he found were all decent people, hardworking and putting their hearts on their shoulders. They were working hard, and the rest of the officials were eating, drinking and having fun. No one would be happy. When Xu Yushi and Lu Chengqing heard that the emperor, Li Ji, and Wei Siqian agreed, they nodded and agreed.

In the evening, Li's Mansion.

Nowadays, the Li Yifu family is really sad. The son was thrown into a death row and the son-in-law was demoted to a commoner. What is even more ironic is that the Li Yifu still sat on the seat of the Zhongshuling. This was really difficult to happen in the feudal era, because in the feudal era, the punishment was based on the family unit. One prospered and the other suffered losses. It is difficult for the son to sit in a death row and I am still the prime minister.

Li Yifu felt very cowardly. In addition, he was narrow-minded and could figure it out. He hadn't gone out for several days, and his wife was even more crying. But they didn't think about the Pei family either.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue is asking for a visit."

"You - who did you say ask for a meeting?"

Li Yifu even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.

"Report to the master, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Han Yi?"

"yes!"

Li Yifu was stupid. Why did Han Yi come to their house? I was thinking about it. Could it be that I was coming to see me for a joke? I thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."

After a while, Han Yi walked in, "Li Zhongshu, don't be fine!" His tone was extremely reluctant, and his expression seemed to be as 20,000 to 20,000 or 80,000.

When Li Yifu saw him like this, he felt more confident. He was coming to see him for a joke, and said with a slight smile: "What a rare guest! I wonder what instructions did Han Shangshu give to visit the humble house!"

"I dare not take it!"

Han Yi sat down and said, "I don't want to come, but the queen asked me to come, so I have to come."

Li Yifu immediately cheered up and tentatively said, "Is it the queen who asked you to come?"

Han Yi nodded.

Li Yifu was a little disbelief. Wu Meiniang has always tried her best to avoid contact between him. How could Han Yi come to Li Yifu and say, "I wonder why the queen asked you to do this?"

"What else can happen? Isn't it just for your baby son?" Han Yi snorted.

Li Yifu swallowed and said, "For - for my son?"

"Yes!"

Han Yi smashed it and said, "Come on and go, I'm so thirsty!"

Li Yifu pointed at the maid in anger and said, "You damn girl, why don't you pour tea for the guests quickly."

The maid hurried forward and poured a cup of tea for Han Yi.

I was promoted so quickly! Han Yi picked up the tea, drank it lightly, and said, "It's really hard to drink, Li Zhongshu, don't you know that the new tea in the Yuan family is very popular now? Go to the market to buy some good tea to entertain guests. Don't be reluctant to give up a lot of money. After all, you are also a Zhongshu Ling."

Li Yi Mansion has no intention of tasting tea, and everything he eats is bitter, but he said, "Is that so? I really don't know about this. I will buy some tomorrow."

"Is that right?"

"Then I wonder if the queen told you to be—?" Li Yifu didn't want to talk nonsense to him.

Han Yi said carelessly: "Oh, that's right, the queen hopes that you can support the court in reducing official prostitutes."

"Reduce official prostitutes?"

Li Yifu suddenly stood up and said righteously: "How can this be done?"

Wow! You old pervert! Han Yi cursed inwardly and stood up and said, "Since Li Zhongshu doesn't agree, then forget it."

Li Yifu suddenly remembered Han Yi's previous words and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Shangshu Han, please stay, I-I don't agree, but everything must have a reason."

"Didn't I say the reason, because of your son's business."

"What does this matter have to do with my son's affairs?" Li Yifu said with a confused look on his face.

Han Yi said: "Did Li Zhongshu not go out for a long time?"

Li Yifu nodded subconsciously.

"No wonder!"

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "Li Zhongshu, you should know why you should cut the singing girls. The reason is that the queen is going to investigate the real cause of the Ci'en Temple case and prevent such cases from happening. The result of the negotiation is that the trend of visiting prostitutes is prevalent, and there are jealousy in the court, the country and the country. I won't explain in detail. If this is true, that is, it is a common phenomenon for your son to compete with Pei Qingfeng. It is not a matter of harming the world, but caused by the general environment. There are also many people in the Pei family who are jealous of singing girls. This is normal. From this reasoning, your son is just a little unlucky in the trend, so inferring that your son is not going to be a traitor.

Next, because of this case, the people are very angry about your son's behavior and are venting their anger on you, but does this have anything to do with the people? No, dog bite - cough cough. But is it related to protecting women and Baixin? That has a great relationship, and it has great relationship with the reduction of official prostitutes and ministers in the court. The people and ministers' eyes will soon shift to this. They will not always stare at your son, and the case can be downplayed."

Li Yifu looked suspicious when he heard this. He couldn't grasp the benefits for a while and said, "Are you serious?"

Han Yi said impatiently: "Li Zhongshu, can I cheat you about this? I'm still under the name of the queen? When I was impatient. Moreover, Li Zhongshu, your son was jealous, and those ministers scolded your son for lack of education, and they didn't follow themselves. Cutting down the official prostitute was to look at the demon mirror, let them reveal their true colors, and let the world understand that in fact they and your son were birds of a feather, and they were not qualified to say that you."

"Bah! You are just a bird of a feather." Li Yifu said with a dark face.

"Sorry! Sorry! This metaphor is not very appropriate, I will take it back!" Han Yi laughed and said, "This has been brought to you. Think about it yourself. I will bring it up for you. I will ask you for help in your son. I will ask you for your next court meeting. You can do it yourself. I will say goodbye first."
