Chapter 1826 The highest realm(1/2)
Chang'an sells well, Luoyang sells better, and Luoyang issues more national bonds than Chang'an.
Luoyang has unique geographical advantages, and all operations are carried out around Luoyang. At that time, the official camp of Li Yi Mansion was about to leave Luoyang, and Luoyang officials could take a break from it. Therefore, there were actually more corrupt officials in Luoyang, which was more than Chang'an. After all, there were still people watching Chang'an, and there were many landlords and gentry.
The situation in Luoyang is the same as in Chang'an. First, those corrupt officials began to buy treasury bonds, which caused this trend and caused more people to come to buy treasury bonds.
The country's warehouses immediately became full.
But these two places alone are not good. After all, they are worth ten million yuan of grain, and they are calculated by 10 million yuan per bucket. This is really not a small amount!
Bozhou!
"That's fine?"
Cheng Chuliang sat under a big tree, staring blankly at the people queuing in front of him to buy treasury bonds, and felt that his outlook on life had been reversed!
He first learned the news and thought it was because the court was crazy about being poor!
But now it seems that the people are crazy.
Isn’t this government bond just a loan from the people? As a person within the system, he thinks that whoever borrows is stupid. The officials have two entries, and the court has only n entries. What they say today can be said tomorrow. If you believe it, it is better to believe me.
But the situation is so magical!
Moreover, this place is even more exaggerated than both. Every time this national debt goes to a prefecture and county, it is robbed by people.
People from Jinxing and Yuanxing are simply too busy.
I also have to recruit workers temporarily to help transport food. Unfortunately, there are many refugees, and I really don’t shortage of workers.
This is even more exaggerated than I thought.
Because many smugglers did not know where the food was transported to go in the later stage, there were robbers everywhere, as if the world was in chaos, they could only hide the food in the local area first to see the situation. Moreover, many big landlords engaged in smuggling, but now that the trouble is like this, can they not be guilty? If the court wants to thoroughly investigate, it may also find out that they are hiding, and they are also hiding.
This is just a temporary solution and cannot last long.
Just when everyone was worried, the country suddenly issued government bonds.
At the same time, the largest smuggling group, the robber group, led the purchase of government bonds. When the people below saw that the people above had gone to buy them. They had not been afraid of losing so much food. What else do I fear? We also bought them. There are also those landlords who saw that their partners were buying. If they didn't buy them, when these guys laundered the money, it would be equivalent to pushing them down in front of them. This is not possible. However, what they didn't know was that in fact, they were actually the real main force, because they are the people who have the most food now.
The robbers were busy buying national bonds. When the people saw that the government had really borrowed food, their hopes increased greatly. It seemed that in a moment, the world was peaceful!
Li Siwen looked at his sword and felt that this thing seemed to be less useful than money.
The crazyest thing is Yangzhou. In fact, Yangzhou is also the place where the most government bonds are issued, more than Luoyang, but it was still snatched away in an instant.
The smuggling group in Yangzhou was created by Han Yi, and the materials here are also the richest. Tan Dong and the others have already prepared it. As long as Yuanxing starts selling treasury bonds, no matter what, they will first fill up the team and build momentum for treasury bonds.
The more people buy this product, the more popular it will be. This law comes from later businessmen often use this trick to hire some supporting roles to queue up.
Moreover, Yangzhou is Han Yi's base camp. All the rich people in Yangzhou believe in Han Yi, but definitely not the court.
The more you sell the treasury bond, the more popular it is, just like stocks, all the treasury bonds worth tens of millions of yuan were sold out. The treasury bonds changed from a joke to a fashion, and then to a myth, and the change was so fast that no one expected.
I can only say that Han Yi is so amazing!
Even if he farts, everyone says it's fragrant. Those so-called smart people want to commit suicide.
After Li Zhi learned the news, he was really mixed and mixed. He knew the reasons for buying national debts. It is conceivable that there are many corrupt officials here. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have not been so many corrupt officials. Li Zhi really felt terrible. What kind of people do I support? I have to borrow the money from them. There is nothing more affliction in the world than this.
Daxingshan Temple.
"Now I'm afraid someone will tell her that Han Yi can sell a chamber pot for 100 cents, and the child will believe it."
Cui Jieren was a little disappointed and still couldn't believe this fact. The court was already at this point. When asked about the people, so many people lent money to the court. If he wanted to tell it, no one would believe it. He originally thought that this was just Han Yi's false move, but he didn't expect it to be a big move. He was really ashamed of himself. Even if he asked him to play now, he didn't know how to play and he couldn't understand it at all.
Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "Actually, this is not difficult to understand. Just think about it carefully. Who is eager to exchange a large amount of grain into a portable bond."
Cui Jieren suddenly woke up and said, "Dad means that the court hides their stolen money for such corrupt officials?"
"It should be so." Cui Pingzhong nodded.
"this!"
Even if Cui Jieren broke his head, he would never have thought that Li Zhi would do this, because it was even more incredible.
Officials greed for money from the state and the people, but the state also covers up their dirty money, pays the stolen money and pays interest. No dynasty would do such a careless thing.
Cui Pingzhong said: "For Your Majesty, the throne is the most important, and nothing is more important than this. But for Han Yi, these national bonds can guarantee that he will have an unshakable position within these three years."
"yes!"
Cui Jiebian said: "If Han Yi can turn the tide, then everyone must believe that as long as Han Yi is there, the national bond will definitely not be invalid. On the contrary, if Han Yi is not there, the court will likely lose trust to the people. Han Yi tied the interests of the people in the world with a national bond."
Cui Pingzhong said: "Not only that, he also held power tightly in his hands. Apart from him, who in the court can pay off this debt? Before that, the treasury was in debt, and it was exempted from a year of tax revenue. Even if Han Yi gave way to you now, would you dare to take it?"
Cui Jieren shook his head. Although he was arrogant, he was still quite self-aware. He really couldn't think of a way to pay off his debts.
Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "Everyone pursues nothing more than fame, profit and power. It is already very difficult to get one. However, Han Yi's move has taken all three of them. Not only that, he has laid a solid foundation for the next step."
Cui Jieren frowned and said, "Next?"
Cui Pingzhong said: "You were curious about why Han Yi didn't make any move after streamlining the officials. In fact, he didn't make any moves, but he was trying to win time for the landlord to annex the land."
Cui Jieren said in surprise: "Annexed the land? Why? Why did he help the landlords and gentry?"
"He did not help the gentry and landlords, but to attack the gentry and landlords."
Cui Pingzhong nodded and said, "As far as the situation was concerned, the people could no longer survive, but the landlords held a large amount of food in their hands. This was the best time for landlords to annex the land. It has been common throughout history, but in the past it was because of natural disasters, and this time it was Han Yi who manipulated behind the scenes. In this way, a large number of people would lose their livelihoods, which provided manpower for merchants. Moreover, the first anti-commerce was gentry and landlords, which was also the beginning of the crisis, but in the end it was the merchants who saved the people. In this way, Han Yi could reverse the unfavorable situation of merchants in reputation in one fell swoop. This is very important. Merchants have been suppressed because the people have no good impression of merchants. If I was not wrong, his next step was to guide merchants to accept refugees and throw dirty water on the gentry at the same time."
Cui Jieren was sweating wildly when he heard this, and said, "He really plotted everyone in the world with this move."
Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "If there were no such great interests ahead, how could he have destroyed his father's grave?"
Cui Jieren sighed and said, "It's impossible for a child to beat him."
Don’t say that he can’t think of it, even if he thinks of such a plan, he won’t dare to play. This is really terrible. If there is a slight mistake, he will really become a sinner for the ages.
Cui Pingzhong smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you don't need to decide the outcome with him. This is meaningless. You should play a role in leading the Tang Dynasty to become richer and stronger, so that you can be worthy of your life."
Cui Jieren raised his head and said, "But Dad, do you think Han Yi did this right? Many people are losing their lives because of this."
Cui Pingzhong pondered for a moment and said, "If you do this in terms of the changes in the situation, Han Yi is indeed despicable. In order to achieve his goal, he will do it without any means. But do you think these can be avoided? In fact, this step taken by Li Yifu will definitely happen in the future. Isn't the queen just using the landlord to attack merchants? The conflict between the landlord and the merchant will always break out. If the merchant wants to rise, he must overcome this hurdle. But Han Yi let this situation happen early, but it is at least under his control. Otherwise, the consequences will be a hundred times more serious than this. Moreover, this also allows us to learn from the lessons that it is absolutely impossible for the country to compete with the people to make profits. Instead, I think this disaster is more beneficial than disadvantages."

Liangyi Hall.
"Your Majesty, all the national debts have been sold. I suggest that governments in various places be able to open the doors as soon as possible so that the situation can be completely stabilized."
After listening to Han Yi's suggestion, Li Zhi showed hesitation and said, "Just those officials, how dare you deliver the food to them?"
Maybe they bought those national debts.
Han Yi replied: "But the court is not able to replace all officials now. Even if it is to be replaced, it will take time. They still need to be used at present. However, the Wei minister has an idea to temporarily prevent them from embezzling."
Li Zhi hurriedly said, "What's the idea?"
Han Yi said: "The current food exchanged for national debts is in the Jinxing and Yuanxing. The court can directly deposit the food into the Jinxing and Yuanxing, and order the Jinxing and Yuanxing to allocate as much food to the governments in various places. In this way, every account has been recorded, and the Jinxing and Yuanxing dare not be charged with corruption and abuse of power for this little profit."
Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "This is feasible."
Han Yi said again: "There is another point that the people have lost trust in the government, and we don't know who is doing it. In order to make the people trust the government again, the wealth minister suggested that the people select officials from the local government and temporarily take charge of the government."
"Why do people go and choose?" Li Zhi said in surprise.
He doesn't know how to do this.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I believe that there are still some upright officials in various prefectures and counties, but we don't know, but the local people must know that Your Majesty can ask Cheng Chuliang to lead the royal police to each prefecture and counties for a random inspection, which is to ask the people who most want to take over the government. If the votes are the most, let him take charge first, and wait until the court recovers and then decide as appropriate."
"Okay, just do that." Li Zhi nodded. He has lost confidence in local officials now. If you ask him to choose, he doesn't know who to choose. He also closes his eyes, but you have to go and examine it carefully. This takes time, but they don't have time now. The government has to open the door quickly and control the situation. Anyway, it's a blind choice. It's better to choose someone who is supported by the people. In this way, at least the people can trust the government, and just randomly check some people, it doesn't take too much time.
Li Ji suddenly said: "According to the news from Cheng Chuliang and the others, there are still many refugees in various prefectures and counties. The government opened the door and the refugees were not dispersed, which would be useless."
Han Yi immediately said: "I have thought about this. The court can directly order all the official workshops in various prefectures and counties to be entrusted to sell to merchants. As for the sale method, it is also a similar method to Chang'an. As long as the merchant can ensure that the workshop is full of staff for one year, give refugees a meal, and pay a certain deposit to the financial store, the workshop will be given to merchants. In this way, merchants can be attracted to various prefectures and counties to solve the problems of refugees."
Li Zhi said distressedly: "This is all built with the money from the state."
Didn’t the taxes used to build these workshops at the beginning? Li Zhi felt very wronged now.
Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, you can't bear to let your child go to the wolf. If you want merchants to rush to go to various prefectures and counties, you can only do this."
"I know, I just have some things to forget about it. You can just make the decision on this matter." Li Zhi nodded, and he hated Li Yifu in his heart. He had never done such a frustrating thing in history.
Han Yi said again: "Your Majesty, the people no longer trust the government, but the reputation of the Civil Security Bureau has not yet been hit. I suggest reducing the number of officials and taking the opportunity to build civil security bureaus in various places, be responsible for maintaining public order, and also supervise each other with the government."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I should have done this long ago. Now the Royal Training Camp has trained many Royal Police, and there is no longer a lack of staff. Cheng Chuliang is there, so let him be responsible for this matter."
"Affect the order."
Han Yi said again: "Weichen has another request."
Li Zhidao: "What request?"
Han Yi said: "The crisis has almost been resolved. I hope that after finishing this last thing, I will resign and go home."
Li Zhi and Li Ji were stunned at the same time.
I didn't react for a long time.
"What did you say?" Li Zhi asked in a slight voice.
Han Yi said seriously: "Weichen wants to resign from his post for the time being and go home."
