"Ye Gong, Ye Gong, how can you still be at peace here?" Du Fu climbed up the hill panting, looking at Ye Chang sitting on the horse drinking tea, he managed to run forward a few steps, but in the end I can't run anymore. Ye Chang had his back turned to him, but when he heard his voice, he turned around in surprise: "Zimei, why are you here?" "There is something big going on in the court, why are you still here?" Du Fu paused, because he was out of breath. I was out of breath, so it took me a while to finish what I said. "Zimei, in the past few years, it seems that you have been sitting in the study too much and exercising too little. You are so tired just after climbing such a hill. The running water is not rotten and the door hinges are not beetrooted. You want to do more things. You have to be in good health." Ye Chang said with a smile. Du Fu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He finally got over it and said anxiously: "I mistakenly believed the gangsters and gave Lu Qi the investigation you asked me to do. Unexpectedly, Lu Qi also received funding and completed it." The first issue of the family newspaper used the information I gave to criticize the people's management You all know that?" When Du Fu said that, he looked at Ye Chang's face and noticed that Ye Chang's expression was a little strange. He immediately stared in understanding. asked with eyes closed. "Although I am in Tailing, I still know something about Chang'an. As soon as this new newspaper was launched, 100,000 copies were given away. The momentum was huge and the influence was not small." Ye Chang said: "Officials in the DPRK and China , Some upright people were filled with righteous indignation when they saw what was written on it, and wrote to the court, demanding that the mines and factories be shut down and their abuses eradicated. ""Any upright person, if he is not a stickler for the past, is someone with ulterior motives," Du Fu angrily rebuked. : "Abandoning food because of choking is not the right way to do things in the world. As Ye Gong said, anything done must have advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages of setting up industry and mining are not as good as the advantages. Moreover, Ye Gong has long said that the court only needs to strengthen management of such disadvantages. , can be controlled. In recent years, due to the benefits of industry and mining, people's lives have become easier, but they can't stand it. ""Isn't this just to strengthen management?" Ye Chang said leisurely. His attitude almost made Du Fu furious. Soon Du Fu understood: "Thisare you behind this again?" "That's not true. It's just that while the industry and mining have boomed in recent years, various problems have also arisen. It is indeed time to take charge. Whether it is me taking charge or the court taking charge, it will inevitably lead to infamy. The difference is that I take charge of it for the sake of better development, while the court takes charge of it for the purpose of amassing money and power for a few people. In this case, let¡¯s let the court bear the infamy first.¡± These words would not have been uttered by a minister who was very loyal to the court. Du Fu had no objection. Seeing that in the past ten years, the imperial court was almost supported by Ye Chang alone, and he also had two great achievements in protecting the sky and rebuilding the Tang Dynasty. Although he did not reward him for his high achievements, Li Qiu treated Ye Chang like this. So chilling. Li Qiu's little trick that he thought was clever would look like a joke to anyone with a discerning eye: Ye Chang really wanted his position, so how could he get his turn, let alone leave the capital in the past few years when Li Longji was seriously ill? , allowing Li Qiu to control the palace. To a certain extent, this is also a test for Li Qiu from Ye Chang. If Li Qiu consciously recognizes the situation and is willing to take the position of Xujun, then he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can still rule from the ground up. Otherwise, naturally everyone will have a showdown. scattered. "It's not good to keep making trouble like this." Du Fu thought about it and sighed: "If it continues, it will hurt the vitality of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Anlu Mountain Incident. Why not let the long-term pain be better than the short-term pain?" "I Now the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. "Zimei, what do you think the people will think if I take action now?" "Are you afraid of being accused of being domineering?" He has already been accused of being domineering." Ye Chang laughed, his brows brightening: "Infamy is nothing, even if it means deposing someone and usurping the throne, I'm not afraid of it, let alone being domineering." He had been tolerant for many years, but when he spoke, he suddenly said She is not feminine, but carries a domineering air that holds the world at her fingertips. Du Fu was stunned, looked at him, and said nothing for a long time. "This is Ye Chang's nature. Although he has always been loyal to the Li Tang royal family before, it is his style to retaliate and not care about infamy. In recent years, he has been seeking fame and fame, which made Du Fu forget his true nature. "Then what are you afraid of what the people will think?" "It's because you're afraid that the people will think that everything is taken for granted." Ye Chang breathed out slowly: "Do you know the truth that books cannot be read unless they are borrowed?" Du Fu's face turned red slightly. This truth, Of course he understands. "People and business are the opposite. If you don't work hard, you don't know how to cherish it." Ye Chang said: "I have repeatedly warned you that when you open a mine, you must pay more attention and don't give up your benevolence just to make money. But those People just don't listen. Now this matter is caused by themselves. I can't help them solve all the troubles, lest they become dependent" Ye Chang said a little confused, because he didn't know whether he should answer it because it meant something. Du Fu expressed it. Today, the Tang Dynasty can be said to haveIt has reached the threshold of industrialization and commercialization. However, this was not born naturally by Datang itself, but under the strong guidance of Ye Chang. Ye Chang knew very well that if he took action, he would have to sit in the highest position. From now on, he would not be able to go out easily in the capital, and his main energy would be entangled with some tedious matters. He might not be able to be as free as he is now. Leading the way forward for the Tang Dynasty. ¡°Some people think that if you reach the highest position, you can naturally keep your word, and it will be easier to guide the country. In fact, the experience of two lives tells Ye Chang that there are many ways to isolate him, block his ears and eyes, and let him immerse himself in singing praises and singing and dancing to achieve peace. ¡°And when he came to power, it was just an enlightened emperor replacing a conservative emperor. What happens after him? "Of course he can decide the constitution with one word. Whether it is an enlightened autocracy or a constitutional monarchy, with his huge influence in the army and the people, he can make a decision with one word. But since he can decide it with one word, then there will be people who can give it up with one word in the future. Therefore, it must go through some kind of huge change and raise a certain standard to the political consensus of the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can the innovation he wants be able to success. "Ye Gong's meaning can only be cherished by the people if they strive for it?" Du Fu has followed Ye Chang's thinking in running newspapers over the years, so he figured this out: "No wonder these years You vigorously advocate Taoism and say that everything that benefits the people is Taoism, and only by continuing Taoism can one be the emperor" Ye Chang smiled and remained silent. "I understand, I will go back to Chang'an right now," Du Fu thought again and said resolutely. Ye Chang smiled again: "I'll give it to you." After Du Fu returned to Chang'an, he immediately gathered people to write quickly. The next day, he published a batch of articles in newspapers about the imperial court's tightening of the exclusive rights to mines. . This newspaper quickly arrived at Yuan Highway¡¯s desk. "The emperor's move can't help but remind people of King Zhou Li's 'patented' policy of making the mountains, forests, lakes and lakes owned by the emperor, and not allowing the common people to collect firewood, fish, and hunt. There are precedents in history, and we can think about it now. Today, we want to imitate Zhou Li. Wang Hu? When he saw this paragraph, Yuan Gongdao jumped up: "How brave." There were also criticisms of officials in newspapers before. For example, some people criticized Yuan Gongdao for being a vegetarian. But they pointed the finger at the emperor. This was the first time that Yuan Gongdao could imagine what kind of reaction Li Qiu would have when he read this text, among the officials in the court and the central government, as well as people studying in urban and rural areas. You should have seen it, how could he not be furious? Sure enough, not long after this issue of "Min Bao" was released, the imperial army went to the newspaper office to confiscate it. However, when they arrived, they didn't know if the news had been leaked or if it had been there for a long time. After preparation, except for the three or two kittens and a bunch of printing machines, Du Fu and others escaped. The next day, the "Datang Daily" run by Lu Qi frantically criticized the "Min Bao" move. In order to have no respect and inferiority, he commits rebellion, just like An Lushan and others. Between the lines, the writing is vaguely directed at Ye Chang. This is because the "Datang News" was just launched and was being distributed for free, so it had an impact. It was also huge, and the whole of Chang'an seemed to be suffocated by it. But on the third day, the "Minbao" that had gone underground struck back, "I have said before that I want to imitate King Zhou Li and win the world. Let's look at it again. , Today I have not only learned King Zhou Li¡¯s patented chaotic government, but also learned his strategy of using witchcraft to stop slander. Banning people's newspapers, indulging clowns, and all kinds of methods, what is the difference between this and King Li? It¡¯s just that I read history today, but I haven¡¯t learned it all. I have seen King Li¡¯s strategy, but I haven¡¯t seen King Li¡¯s end.¡± At the beginning, the "Min Bao" spread the news, which made Anlushan¡¯s army unmotivated. Now the "Min Bao" blew the horn again, this time An article, almost a message to Li Qi. When Yuan Gongdao saw this, he jumped up again: "Bring "Historical Records", bring "Historical Records". The servant at home brought him another pile of "Historical Records" , I was still muttering in my heart, whether there was something wrong with my master. During this period, I always read "Historical Records". Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with him and wanted to drive him to compile history? Yuan Gongdao ignored the servant's expression and wrote "Historical Records" "Historical Records" turned to the section about "The Chinese people riotedthe first year of the Republic". In "Historical Records", there is an exact date, starting from the time when King Zhou Li was overthrown by the Chinese people. "Historical Records of Justice" has its own interpretation of this period of history, especially for the subsequent Republic of China. The "Bamboo Book Annals" records that Gongbo and Yuzheng were in power and acted as emperors, and this Gongbo and It was the king of Wei State. Ye Chang was named King of Wei. Seeing this, Yuan Gongdao took a breath. The original explanation of Ye Chang's riddle was here. No wonder he wanted to write a history. But soon, Yuan Gongdao felt, He seemed to be overthinking it. If Ye Chang really meant this, why couldn't he express it directly instead of going through such a big roundabout way? In fact, if not?It was "Min Bao" that compared Li Qiu with King Li of Zhou. No matter how much he and Dugu Ming read "Historical Records", they would not remember this allusion. "Whether I think too much or not, this matter I have to think about it again." Go find Dugu Gong and ask him to make up his mind. After all, Ye Gong is going to supervise the mountain mausoleum. It is Dugu Gong who makes the decision in our department in the court. Instead of me guessing alone, it would be better for Dugu Gong to guess too." But he didn't know. He really thinks too much. Ye Chang took the "Historical Records" to hint that he did have a purpose, which was to make them calm down and not be impatient. In Ye Chang's judgment, Li Qiu was eager to take over power and would inevitably take some measures to change the current policies, and among them, it seemed easiest to attack industries and mines. By then, it will not only be them who have their interests violated by Li Qiu, but also almost the vast majority of people in Chang'an City - from industrial and mine owners to ordinary workers. As a result, their incomes will be reduced or even their livelihoods will be lost. And those ordinary citizens, As a result, they will not be able to buy the previously cheap and abundant daily necessities. At that time, these citizens will definitely rely on Ye Chang as their backing. With a little guidance from others, they will rise up on their own and force Li Qiu to change his ways. Li Qiu, however, would not accept such a condition, either for his own reputation or for his political plan to gain power. As a result, conflicts will inevitably intensify, and angry people will repeat the scene of Chinese riots. After all, for the people in Chang'an City now, after the Li Heng Rebellion, their respect for the royal family has been greatly reduced. If Li Longji, he might still be able to control these people, but Li Qiu has only been a grandson for a few years. What prestige does it have among the people? Yuan Highway hurriedly arrived at Dugu Mansion. He was so familiar with the roads here that he didn't even need to report, so he went directly to Dugu Ming's study. In Dugu Ming's study, there were piles of books such as "Historical Records" and "Historical Records of Justice". He buried his head among them and raised his head when he heard Yuan Gongdao's voice greeting him: "You are indeed here." "Dugu Ming "Mr., do you thinkwhat happened to King Li this week is true or false?" Yuan Gongdao got straight to the point and asked in a trembling voice. "Of course it's true." Dugu clearly understood what he meant: "Before you came, I had already sent someone to inquire. There will be new information soon. By then it will almost be confirmed." It didn't take long. , the people sent out by Dugu Ming came back. "In Chang'an City, in the east and west cities, more than thirty business leaders have decided to go on strike tomorrow." The servant was panting, with a look of shock on his face: "Something big has happened, something big has happened." "The emperor wants to What does patent industry and mining have to do with them? "Yuan Highway was surprised when he heard that most of the guild leaders in the east and west cities were trading companies. They were only responsible for selling things, not production, so why were they the first to react? This matter is not something that the servant can know. Dugu Ming, on the other hand, waved his hand and asked the servant to step down to receive the reward, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, don't go to the market. You don't know what's going on. None of these business leaders are working in the industry or mining outside. Otherwise, Where do their goods come from? Even if they don't do anything, the factories and mines above will put pressure on them. After all, when the factories and mines shrink, they will have no goods to sell, and they will be the ones who make less money in the first place. " "Yes "Yuan Gongdao is a little embarrassed. Although he has a good relationship with Ye Chang and has benefited a lot from the Andong Chamber of Commerce, he really doesn't know much about the industry and commerce in the market. The news brought by the servant made Dugu Ming push away the history book in front of him. He sighed and said slowly: "More than thirty guilds this is just the beginning."
