Chapter 718 (1/2)
Good news came from Jiangnan.
Liu Zhao went to the south of the Yangtze River, successfully fired the first shot, bought the first batch of grain, has been transported to the disaster area.
When the news reached the capital, Qi Qi inside and outside the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief.
”Your Highness is still reliable.”
”If there is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no need to limit the price in the capital.”
”It's time to abolish the purchase restriction. It's frightening. How can we get it in the long run?”
”Your Highness can buy grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Could you please deliver a batch of grain to the capital?”
”Of all the princes, your highness is the most reassuring.”
This word reached the ears of Vander.
Even if Wende didn't admit it, he knew that Liu Zhao was the most capable and bad tempered of all his sons.
Liu Zhao, who had been trained since childhood, went through ups and downs with him, which other sons could not compare with.
Because he had experienced many ups and downs together, Emperor Wende was so aware of Liu Zhao's ability that he could not help but be afraid.
The butt decides the head.
When we played together, father and son were deeply in love. Because father and son have the same interests.
It's normal for father and son to turn against each other while guarding the country. Because of identity change, conflict of interest.
There are numerous examples.
Whether it was Emperor Wende or Liu Zhao, he was prepared for all this in his heart.
Emperor Wende was in power and quickly adapted to the change of identity, emotion and interests.
Liu Zhao became a prince, and his power was suppressed. He was ready to accept all this intellectually, but was difficult to accept emotionally.
Tete's face is merciless!
Bang!
The father and his son have been in conflict again and again.
”Your Highness has successfully bought food and has been transported to the disaster area. Your majesty should be happy. ” Chang en whispered.
Wende Di laughed, ”I really should be happy.”
Happiness is only a moment, but worry is long.
He began to speculate about Liu Zhao's words and deeds. If he went to the south of the Yangtze River, he would certainly take advantage of the opportunity to make various small moves.
”Send a secret order to the governor of Jiangnan, keep a close watch on Liu Zhao and report the situation every ten days.”
Chang en didn't persuade him any more, but he bowed down to the south of the Yangtze River to send secret orders.
Wende Di asked again, ”how is the queen?”
”Tell your majesty that the empress has been in a good mood recently and has rewarded several concubines.”
Wende Di said with a clear smile, ”the boss is promising. She should be happy. Where did the Empress Dowager say anything? ”
Chang en is the master of all things in the palace. There is nothing he doesn't know. ”The Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with Madame Zhao. Complain that Madame Zhao does not bring her children into the palace
Wende Di said, ”Gu Jiu's body is really so weak?”
Chang en bowed down and said: ”reply to your majesty, the old slave inquired about doctor Hu. The imperial concubine will be very weak this time, and she will have to raise her strength for at least one or two years.”
”Oh! Who is in charge of Xinmin county? Is it hard for her to worry about Xinmin County while keeping her health
”Managed by Chen Er Zhuang and Bai Zhong.”
”Is Deng Cunli still in the northwest?”
”Deng Cunli returned to Beijing some time ago and presided over the purchase of bulk goods. It is said that they are afraid of rising prices and hoarding ahead of time. ”
”Hum! A profiteer. Do you know what Deng Cunli has been doing in the northwest these years
Chang en said in a low voice: ”I heard that Deng Cunli was mainly engaged in horse farm management in Northwest China, purchasing cattle and sheep, doing beef jerky and cashmere production. They specially built a warehouse in the northwest, storing a lot of goods. Businessmen from all over the country went to the northwest to buy cashmere, beef jerky and horses from the farm.
Xiaohegou Racecourse has become the largest Racecourse in Northwest China besides Qingping racecourse. Recently, there have been letters from the horse administration that the number of horses has increased sharply. Do you want to abolish the strict horse policy and allow the private horse trade? On the other side of Qingping racecourse, there is also a written request to expand the scale of the racecourse. There are too many horses. The farm can't breed so many horses at the same time
”The number of horses in the racecourse has increased sharply. Why don't I know about it?”
”Your Majesty has been busy with disaster relief this year. People below dare not disturb your majesty with the affairs of the horse farm.”
”Go and find out the memorials related to Ma Zheng. I want to have a look at them.”
”Yes, old slave.”
Chang en had been prepared. Before long, xiaohuangmen came to Xingqing palace with a basket of documents and memorials related to Ma Zheng.
Wende emperor looked through a book.
As early as the year before last, Qingping horse farm has completed the initial breeding task. There are now hundreds of thousands of adult horses, enough to form a cavalry of 10000 people.
A large number of disabled old horses will be eliminated every year.
Because of the restrictions of the horse administration, it is very difficult for horses to be transported inland for sale.
Wende Di finished reading these books all night.
The next morning, in the early morning, he asked the courtiers about Ma Zheng's views.After several days of continuous discussion, the imperial court finally made a decision to amend the horse administration.
As soon as the news came out, the first one to react was the Xiaohegou Racecourse under Gu Jiu's name.
When Chen Dazhuang drove thousands of adult horses to the capital, it caused a sensation in the city.
For many years, the capital has never seen such a large-scale horse sales.
Many people went to see the mule horse market outside the city.
Thousands of good breed horses gathered together, and the scene was really amazing.
The mule and horse market, in a blink of an eye, has become the scene of the carnival of livestock dealers, rich youth and dandies.
To have a good colt is the dream of the youth of the rich.
It's like buying a car if you have money or not.
Horses are the symbol of identity.
All the horses that Chen Dazhuang transported to the capital were of high quality for two or three years. The cheapest one, two hundred and twenty-one.
The expensive one is a thousand two.
This is obviously not something that ordinary people can consume.
In only two days, thousands of horses were sold out.
At the same time, Chen Dazhuang also received orders from several livestock dealers for horses of all ages.
Chen Dazhuang cleaned himself up and went to Xiaozhu with his brother Chen Er Zhuang to meet Gu Jiu.
