Chapter 193 Li Chengqian’s action
”War, Longxi Li family, war ……” Hearing Zhang Gao’s narration, Li Chengqian sat in the chair’s, fingers constantly knocking the desktop, in the constant thought.
At this moment, Zhang Gao did not dare to disturb Li Chengqian, then kneeling on the ground, let the blood on the forehead constantly flow down, also did not dare to wipe.
I don’t know how long Li Chengqian thought, when he happened to raise his head, he saw Zhang Gao still bleeding and kneeling there, at this moment Zhang Gao was already shaking because of the excessive bleeding.
”Get up! This king really don’t want to remind the next time, next time there is still such a thing, then while this king has not found out, find a place to bury yourself, save this king from looking upset, go to give this king all the Longxi Li family involved in the industry information and and Longxi Li family close to the information of the officials to find, this king want to see” Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Gao who was kneeling on the ground and said.
”The old slave knows wrong, the old slave really knows wrong” heard Li Chengqian’s command, Zhang Gao could not stop kowtowing and said.
”Okay, go down and bandage up, go do your job” said Li Chengqian, looking at Zhang Gao.
When Zhang Gao staggered out, Xiao Anzi, who had been standing outside the door, saw him and hurriedly ran over to support him.
”Righteous father, are you alright!” Xiao An Zi took out a hurried handkerchief to Zhang Gao to cover his still bleeding forehead and asked with concern.
”This time is for the wrong, I still underestimated the position of the eldest princess in the heart of his highness, also ah, I served his highness for so many years, back then, how the eldest princess protects his highness, and it’s not like I didn’t see it,” Zhang Gao raised his head to look at the dark night sky outside, muttering to himself.
”Righteous father” Xiao Anzi cried out worriedly.
”I’m fine, you remember from now on, his majesty is our master, but our real master is his highness, don’t try to figure out his highness’s mind at any time, especially about the position of the princesses and princes in his highness’s mind, just do what his highness tells you to do, and remember to not make the same mistake as me, go in and serve his highness! “After saying that Zhang Gao fixed his mind and left quickly.
Xiao An Zi looked at Zhang Gao’s back as he left, and what he said just now, Xiao An Zi didn’t think about it in detail, but hurriedly waited at the door according to what Zhang Gao said, fearing that there would be a little mistake.
”Dark 2, have the people sent to catch the first son of Longxi Li family departed yet” After Zhang Gao went out, Li Chengqian asked to Dark 2 who was hiding in the dark.
”Back to your highness, the brothers have already departed”, dark 2’s voice came from a dark place.
”Departure well, command down, this mission, the other side may have ambush, let them be careful, if things can not be, then in the case of guaranteeing their own safety, to the first son of the Longxi Li family to leave some marks on the body on the line, we have a lot of time, we can and they slowly play” Li Chengqian looked up and looked at the beams of the study room said to.
”My subordinate understands, this will notify the brothers who have already set out” When Li Chengqian finished, the voice of Dark 2 sounded again, then it was gone again, as if Dark 2 didn’t exist at all.
The sound of Li Chengqian’s rhythmic tapping on the desktop once again resounded in the study.
In this way, Li Chengqian waited in the study for a while, and Zhang Gao successively called for people to bring the information that Li Chengqian wanted.
Once the information arrived, Li Chengqian was there constantly looking through, and he needed to record down.
This look is really a night, during this period has not seen Li Chengqian back to the bedchamber, very worried about the Xia Ju, came once, but was sent back by Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian organized all the messages he wanted, looking at those messages Li Chengqian fell into thought.
He is really did not think, just a single Longxi Li’s power is so huge, and even said that the big a little scary, this is still just Li Chengqian pick up the important to see, if all the information to see all finished, do not know to what time to go.
But with these messages that he organized, Li Chengqian believes that he will make Longxi Li family difficult for a while, even operate well, but also let him Longxi Li family hurt once.
”Zhang Gao, take this list to arrange the people of the Mingwei, the people above one by one to the king to check a bottom, but where to find that they have embezzlement and bribery, collusion between the government and business, oppression of the people’s behavior, you let the Mingwei to find the evidence to find people to do them, this is not urgent, can slowly, first from the bottom to check up, there will be a wine shop of the steward, and the iron casting workshop of the steward called to the “Li Chengqian said to Zhang Gao after handing him the list.
”Lao Nu understands, Lao Nu will go and do it” Zhang Gao said respectfully after receiving the list, then he retired and left.
When Zhang Gao left the study, open that list, above a name, see Zhang Gao a cold sweat, although he has been prepared, but still did not expect Li Chengqian so ruthless, that list on the light in the capital of the ministries of the ministers have three, that the various provinces of the officials have eight more, not to mention those magistrates, the number of the main book is more to go, fortunately, not a time to exhaust, as for those who look for the stewardship! Zhang Gao did not understand why.
But Li Chengqian in Zhang Gao left, with small Anzi they rushed to the Taichi Palace.
When Li Chengqian arrived at the Taichi Hall, his old man had just gotten off the morning court as well.
”Gao Ming, why did you come over so much today” Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian sitting inside and asked with some curiosity.
”Dad, it’s like this, now the copper and iron casting of the Great Tang, most of them are in the hands of the family, although the Great Tang also has a lot of government-run copper and iron ore fields, but the big head is still from the family that acquires is not it” Li Chengqian looked at his old dad and asked.
”You said no, do you have a way to snatch these industries from the hands of the lineage” Li Shimin heard his eldest son ask this and immediately understood that his eldest son was playing this aspect of attention, and immediately asked.
”That’s right, I just want to snatch the cast iron market from the hands of the Shijia, and now the Shijia hold a large number of iron ore mines and cast iron, which is absolutely not allowed, and there is no iron tax, which is inherently wrong, this will make my Great Tang less tax revenue” Li Chengqian said with a smile.
”Then how do you want to do, and need for father how to support you” Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian asked.
”Father, this matter, I need you to issue an order to levy a private iron tax, that is, no matter who in the private sector is mining and smelting cast iron, and even selling private iron to levy a private iron tax, in a word, as long as it is not the official production of the iron to be levied, but there is no rush beforehand, this matter has to wait for us to be able to mass smelt the pig iron of the official camp before we can start, so I want to have all of the official iron ore mines now! I have a new method of smelting iron ore in my hands, and this new smelting method, produces iron fast, has a large yield, and the quality is better than normal” Li Chengqian put his thoughts into words.
”Gao Ming, this method is what those Mozi children came up with” Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian’s narration, his heart couldn’t be calmed for a long time, he asked tentatively.
”That’s right, it’s the Mo family’s Mo Attack that improved the smelting method, now the technology is very mature, and he has brought out quite a few disciples that can hold their own over the years” Li Chengqian looked at his old man and said with a smile.
”Since this is the case, then you let go of your hands to do, for father support you, as for what you said that levy private iron tax thing, as you said, let it go first, but the idea that should be there, you can write it first, I first and Fang Xuan Ling they look at it” Li Shimin thought about it and said to Li Chengqian.
”Father, this I have already written the general idea, you and Fang Xuan Ling they look at it first, what are the shortcomings, you guys look at it! I’m not good at this,” Li Chengqian said, handing his father the information he had written.
