Chapter 605 Take the initiative to let the virtuous

"See you in the nickname--!"

"No, no."

The happy Li Zhi raised his hand to stop him without waiting for Han Yi to salute him. He was so excited that someone dared to stand opposite Changsun Wuji with him. Moreover, this person is a minister in the court, which is different from Han Yi. It also proves that the court is not a solid piece, which gives him great hope. It feels like a long drought and a rainy rain in a foreign land. He was excited last night and never sleeps until he sat next to Wu Meiniang. The two looked at each other.

Li Zhi opened the way to Han Yi and said, "Mi Niang has already told you about Han Yi, Cui Yi-hyun."

Now in front of Han Yi, he never shy away from allowing Wu Meiniang to participate in political discussions, because the three of them are on the side. If they are hidden from Wu Meiniang, who will he ask to discuss?

"yes."

Han Yi nodded.

Li Zhi asked directly: "What do you think?"

Han Yi said without hesitation: "This is a great joy for Your Majesty! Your Majesty should quickly give the award to Governor Cui and entrust with important tasks. In this way, those ministers will definitely choose to stand on Your Majesty's side when they see that Your Majesty is really eager to seek talent. Oh, then the Censor is still vacant, why not promote Governor Cui to Governor Cui?"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wu Meiniang again, with surprise in each other's eyes. After a while, Li Zhi said, "Do you want me to promote Cui Yixuan to the Censor?"

Han Yi said: "That's right."

Li Zhi said: "The reason why this position as a censor falls into my hands is entirely because of your efforts. I have always wanted to promote you to the Chief Censor. Don't you want to be the Chief Censor?"

His Majesty

Han Yi smiled and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is also false to say that you don't want it, but I don't have to be the Chief Censor of the Censor. I came from a farmer family and had a humble status. Everything I have now is rewarded by Your Majesty. I am already very content and dare not ask for too much. If I become the Chief Censor of the Censor, I will do my best to share my worries. If I don't have it, it would be fine."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "To be more realistic, as long as Your Majesty trusts the minister, what does this position matter?"

When Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang heard this, they both felt happy.

Especially the last sentence, it is so beautiful that it fully demonstrates Han Yi's loyalty to Li Zhi and has no ambition. Just the emperor trusts me. Isn't it all for you to be the prime minister or the censor? Isn't it all for you to do things for you? There is no difference in essence.

At such a young age, I have such an enlightenment. How can I not like being an emperor?

Li Zhi was overjoyed and said, "I have Han Yi, so I will be like Liu Xuande who has won Zhuge Kongming."

This is a very high appreciation.

It turned out that he had discussed with Wu Meiniang last night and decided to promote Cui Yixuan to the Censor. In fact, Cui Yixuan and Li Zhi did not have a deep relationship, but just because of one point, Cui Yixuan supported Wu Zhaoyi, so he would inevitably have a breakup with Changsun Wuji, so he could only rely on Li Zhi, so Li Zhi was very relieved about Cui Yixuan.

But he had to consider Han Yi's feelings. In the Zhang Ming case, Han Yi made great contributions and helped Lee Ji take over the Censorate, a must-fight place, but unfortunately the reward was blocked. He felt very guilty about Han Yi. No matter what, Han Yi was the most trusted minister and the first to support him. However, now, he has to give up the cake that Han Yi has struggled for to others. Moreover, Han Yi has some friction with the Choi family, and he is also worried that it will cause Han Yi's dissatisfaction, so he has tested Han Yi.

Who knew that Han Yi was so generous that he even took the initiative to recommend Cui Yixuan as the censor.

This is simply a role model for being a minister!

Li Zhi was very happy.

Han Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty has been awarded too much, and I am ashamed of it."

"I'm sorry for me."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly."

In fact, Han Yi has no idea about this Censor Zhongcheng. No matter who is sitting in this position, he will strongly support it, because he knows that as a minister, one must always put the interests of the monarch first. In this way, the monarch attaches importance to you. Although he has lost the opportunity for promotion, he has won Li Zhi's great trust. In the long run, it is far better than being the Censor Zhongcheng.

As Li Zhi said, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Han Yi, the reason why I left just now was that someone gave a memorial, and I also want to hear your opinions."

Another memorial? Han Yi was stunned and looked at Li Zhi in confusion.

Li Zhidao: "The Yuan family wants to ask me to allow them to build a market outside of Kinsui Gate."

Han Yi was shocked, frowned, and thought to himself that the buyer behind the land was indeed the Yuan family.

Li Zhi handed the memorial in his hand to Han Yi.

Han Yi took it over and saw three high-sounding reasons on it.

First, the night market!

Because the night market is open at night, it is difficult to take care of the people outside the city. After all, it is very troublesome to enter and exit the city gate at night. The court's policy is to assist those poor people. The people in the city are obviously better than those outside the city, so it is necessary to establish a trading market outside the city.

Second, business.

Since you advocate using business assistance to help some poor people get rid of poverty, the market is now saturated and has achieved great success. However, there are still many poor people. The Yuan family said that they will support the court's policies, establish markets, and benefit the people.

Third, follow the trend.

Because the weather is good and the harvest is good every year, many people have a lot of food in stock, but they lack many daily necessities, especially those outside the city. Building a market outside the city can provide a trading place for the people outside the city so that they can calmly exchange what they want. Moreover, with the increasing number of foreigners coming to Chang'an, the city of Chang'an has become a little crowded. If this continues, sooner or later, we will face expansion. Our Yuan family will help you build the suburbs.

Finally, we also summarized that our Yuan family is just an attempt to establish this market. We are completely willing to obey the arrangements and controls of the court and are willing to pay enough taxes.

It's reasonable and well-founded!

But if you look closely, it is actually just superficial work. If Han Yi said that his North Lane was willing to accept the control and arrangements of the court, the Ministry of Revenue would definitely take over it. However, the Yuan family is different. The Yuan family is strong and has a status here. The Ministry of Revenue will definitely not go against the Yuan family like Han Yi, which is equivalent to letting him do it himself.

Moreover, the Yuan family’s memorial is indeed just right.

First, Li Zhi was in a very good mood, and secondly, the Yuan family is a pure business family with unparalleled financial resources. No one dared to underestimate the Yuan family. Be careful that you don’t have fruit to eat. But this big family has always been neutral in politics. They have contacts with many ministers in the court in terms of interests, but they are limited to interests and do not involve the government affairs. Li Zhi is now thinking about recruiting talents, but it is unreasonable and even went to offend the Yuan family. Moreover, he approved Han Yi to establish a market. This time, if the Yuan family is not allowed to establish a market, it would be unreasonable, and the ministers in the court would also object.

Seeing that Han Yi had seen it almost, Li Zhi said, "I am still a little hesitant about this matter. In terms of business, you are much more familiar with me. You have something to say but it doesn't matter."

Han Yi closed the memorial and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think this memorial from the Yuan family is very reasonable and worth trying. Anyway, there is no need for the court to pay, and the Yuan family still pays taxes. If the interests of the court are not in line with the court, it will be locked up."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I have considered this, but establishing a market in the suburbs has always had some conflicts with the equal-field system in our dynasty. If it were just Yuan's family, it wouldn't matter. If everyone scrambled to imitate, the equal-field system would probably be destroyed."

The equal-field system is to limit the population to the land. If you cannot leave your own land, you will starve to death. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty strictly limited the market to the city. You have no place to do business. Everything is to encourage agricultural development. Han Yi was able to establish a market, which borrowed Pingkangli’s special geographical location. If a market is established outside the city, it will impact the equal-field system to a certain extent, which is something that Li Zhi is more worried about.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is very simple. Just build this market in the name of the court. I believe the Yuan family will compromise."

"This is OK."

Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this.

Wu Meiniang, who was standing beside her, suddenly smiled and said, "Han Yi, aren't you afraid that the Yuan family's market will be established and will snatch your North Lane business?"

He is worthy of being the daughter of Samurai, and indeed has a keen sense of smell. Han Yi said confidently: "This business is based on his ability. If the Yuan family can take it away, it is his greatness and I will admit defeat."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the Yuan family, the Yuan family is much stronger than you imagined."

Han Yi said: "What Your Majesty said is that I remember it in my heart."

In fact, of course he knew that the Yuan family established a market for him, and the purpose was to monopolize the market. In the past, there were only two markets in the east and west, with few buyers and not very strong. The Yuan family was unique and secretly monopolized many industries. However, the emergence of Han Yi directly endangered the monopoly of the Yuan family. It can be seen from the cooperation between Yuan Mudan and Beixiang. In the past, people went to the Yuan family to cooperate with Han Yi, but now the Yuan family came to Beixiang to cooperate with Han Yi, and the Han Yi was the one who dominated.

This is something the Yuan family doesn't want to see, and they must regain their dominance.

After discussing the matter, Han Yi left.

"It's really amazing that this boy is so arrogant at such a young age!"

Li Zhiwu praised him endlessly, and he was so considerate.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "If it weren't for this, he was young and from a poor family, so how could he become a sixth-rank official? This is something he has never seen since the Han Dynasty."

"yes!"

Li Zhi smiled and suddenly asked, "What did he say about Yang Sine?"

Wu Meiniang did not hide it and told Li Zhi what Han Yi said.

After hearing this, Li Zhi asked again: "What do you think?"

Wu Meiniang said lightly: "Yang Sine and I are cousins, but he has unclear attitude. I am embarrassed to speak for him again."

Not to mention it, it is actually support for Yang Sine.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Now I am using people, and I have many gifts to the Yang family, and their Yang family also has marriages with the royal family. In addition, Yang Sine has a very short relationship with you and Han Yi, so I still feel that I can trust him." (To be continued.)
