Chapter 70 Silent is better than sound

Li Jiancheng remained silent, and there was no expression on his face. Zheng Guanyin was very anxious. Zheng Guanyin was worried that Chen Ying was not because of affair between men and women, but because of huge interests.

It is said that Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang and was one of the five hopes of the seven sects in Guandong. She could not impress her at all. However, Chen Ying did not take action, but once she took action, it would be impossible to refuse. Taking Lingzhou's output as an example, 30% of the iron ore had an annual income of at least 180,000 guan. Adding salt and coal, the annual income would be more than 200,000 guan.

You should know that the copper coins in the Tang Dynasty were extremely valuable. If they were not very intuitive, they would definitely be frighteningly high if they were converted into the price of later generations. During the Zhenguan period, a dou of rice was only sold for five cents, and a total of 1,000 coins were usually equivalent to a total of 1,000 coins of copper coins. That is to say, you can buy two hundred dou of rice, and ten dou is one stone, which is twenty stones. One stone in the Tang Dynasty was about fifty-nine kilograms. Based on the general price of rice today, it is always equivalent to 5,900 yuan in purchasing power, and 200,000 coins is equivalent to 1.18 billion yuan.

There are probably few people who will not be moved by the wealth of RMB 1.18 billion. If they make so much money every year, even the Saint will become a slut in an instant.

Li Jiancheng seemed not to see the anxiety in Zheng Guanyin's eyes. He was silent for a long time and sighed long: "Guanyin, you are from a family, so you naturally know the energy of a family!"

Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly, "It is precisely because he knows that he feels a pity!"

"What a pity?" Li Jiancheng felt a little strange and looked at Zheng Guanyin in confusion and said, "What a pity!"

Zheng Guanyin reluctantly handed over the three shares with body temperature to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng did not open it, but looked at Zheng Guanyin and said, "What is this?"

"Your Highness opens and checks, can you tell?"

Zheng Guanyin came from a family and knew the horrors of the family. After Yang Guang's death, the emperor Tailor Yang Tong posthumously named Yang Guang as Emperor Ming, the temple name was Shizu, the king of Xia Dou Jiande posthumously named Yang Guang as Emperor Min, and Li Yuan posthumously named Yang as Emperor Yang. According to the "Position Law", "I like to be far away from home and rituals and people are called Yang, I want to be far away from heaven and abuse the people, I like to be strong and politically named Yang, I have no affection and no righteousness, and I have been called Yang, and I have left the desolate country and I have been called Yang."

In other words, Yang Guang's reputation as "defying the will of heaven and abused the people, being indifferent to the righteous, leaving the country with virtue and being invincible, losing politics, and leaving the people far away from the courtesy" is no longer gone.

In fact, what kind of person is Yang Guang? Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng are both very clear. Yang Guang is not such a person. First of all, he is a wise monarch and a promising monarch. He reforms politics, strengthens imperial power, abolishes the hereditary system of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng, and opens up the imperial examinations to win scholars.

At the same time, Yang Guang was also a kind monarch. He further determined the law of criminal law and abolished torture. The law of criminal law was five, one was death penalty, two was imprisonment penalty, three was poach punishment, and five was flogging. All other criminal laws such as abandoning the market and castration were abolished. He also promulgated the equal land system and implemented the system of exporting the city to enrich the people and strengthen the army.

However, in fact, the Sui Dynasty died in the hands of Yang Guang for two lifetimes, which is an indisputable issue. No matter how much notoriety and criticism it added to Yang Guang, it is actually because of political needs. Yang Guang’s most intuitive problem is that he offended the aristocratic families in the world, and so the aristocratic families in the world rose up and turned against each other, and the thirty-six ways of rebelling against the king and seventy-two ways of dust and smoke were almost all secretly supported by the major aristocratic families, or they were directly thrown away their arms and went straight to the scene.

The Sui Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers and thousands of miles, collapsed overnight. This is not to mention that the energy of the clan is too great.

Li Jiancheng quietly opened these three contracts. Even though he was extremely cunning, he couldn't help it. His face changed suddenly: "This...this...this..."

"This is sent by Chen Langjun!" Zheng Guanyin looked at these three contracts, and her heart was extremely sour. She was like a peerless beauty who suddenly obtained the magic pill that could last forever. She had just gotten it in her hand and was snatched away before she could take it.

Li Jiancheng also caused a shocking wave in his heart at this time.

The income of 200,000 yuan was like a soldering iron, which stimulated Li Jiancheng's nerves. Even though he was the crown prince and the crown prince of the country, he felt that he could not stop for 200,000 yuan.

With this money, you can buy 50,000 or 60,000 war horses.

You can buy more than 200,000 cows.

You can buy one million pigs.

You can buy three million sheep.

You can also buy one million and two million swords or swords, six hundred thousand bows, and thirty thousand sets of armor. Calculate that you spend 8,000 yuan a year to support one soldier. This money can support more than 200,000 troops. You can arm an army of 100,000 from scratch.

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Come on!"

Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly, took the contract and threw it into the brazier.

Just as Zheng Guanyin was about to take off his hand, he suddenly felt a lightening in his hand. The three contracts in his hand were not easy to fly. Zheng Guanyin looked up and looked at Li Jiancheng in confusion: "Are you going to burn it?"

"It's not burning, but collecting it!" Li Jiancheng said lightly: "If you don't take such a good opportunity, the sky will definitely be disgusted with it!"

Zheng Guanyin listened to Li Jiancheng's relaxed tone and heard his implication that he was not worried about Yuan's counterattack. He asked him in surprise. "Your Highness, you have to think clearly."

"I have already thought it very clearly!" Li Jiancheng said: "The father has always been worried that the man will undermine him and make him an emperor. When he suppresses me at this time, he is just because the father is in love with him and will not go."

In fact, many people can understand Li Yuan's thoughts. Li Yuan's energy is not enough and he is getting old every day, but he is unwilling to let the power of the court be put on Su Li Jiancheng early before he died. He highly rewarded Li Shimin, and even appointed Li Shimin as the Shangshu Ling and the Minister of the Secretariat.

Since this, the Shangshu Left Pushe Pei and the Shangshu Right Pushe Liu Wenjing have all become Li Shimin's subordinates. At this time, Li Shimin's power was great and he had become the de facto prime minister, and he was the real power prime minister who controlled the three provinces and controlled the six ministries. Li Yuan's intention in this move was nothing more than to use Li Shimin to undermine him.

The direct result of this situation is that Li Shimin is still hostile to Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan refused to delegate power for a day, but it does not mean that Li Shimin will have one day's patience.

Although Li Jiancheng is unlikely to commit a scandal of killing his father and seizing power, Li Jiancheng still doesn't mind as long as he completely smashes Li Shimin's nail.

In the past, Li Jiancheng was afraid of brothers and sisters. But now, Chen Ying's three contracts have given Li Jiancheng hope and no need to worry.

He knew that Li Shimin was also a smart person, and as long as he could break the balance between the two, Li Yuan would be helpless.

Li Jiancheng said: "Erlang relies on nothing more than military power. Chen Yingke was the general. With Xue Wanche and the left guard, Yang Wengan was in charge of Jingzhou, Qingzhou and Lingzhou respectively. This was equivalent to controlling the military power of the west, northwest and north of Chang'an, especially the troops in Jingzhou. Once they need to be dispatched, they can reach the city of Chang'an in at most two days to deal with emergencies.

However, the imperial court's organization for Jingzhou was too small. There were only five regiments and 1,500 soldiers. Li Jiancheng had no money at first, but now he had money, he could expand his troops and even rebuild an elite equipment and full of right guards.

"You are really different from before, and you have become a brave master." Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly. Unexpectedly, Li Jiancheng could see through the subtleties. He thought that someone finally knew the hardships he had over the years. She was a little troubled with her hands on the brocade bed and wanted to sit down. Li Jiancheng suddenly hugged Zheng Guanyin's delicate body.
