Erling and other aides finally returned to Chang'an from Anbei. Xue Chongxun held a banquet in the prince's kingdom to welcome them. Officials within the Xue family and some close subordinate officials also came to accompany them, and even Prime Minister Liu An came.
Although Wang Changling and Zhang Jiuling and others were famous in history, they had not yet reached the peak of their career at this time. Compared with the entire court, Liu An came here to accompany him to express his attitude, even if he became the prime minister, he had not forgotten his true identity.
Naturally, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of War Cheng Qianli and others could not come to attend such a banquet. They were different from Liu An. Liu An was the prime minister who was promoted by Xue Chongxun as everyone knew, so he did not shy away too much; while Zhang Shuo and others reached their current position with their own abilities or military achievements, which were recognized by the gentry. While they were in good relations with the Xue family, they would also pay a little attention not to show too flattery.
During the banquet, there were beautiful people singing and dancing to cheer up. Last time, the Li Longji group fell, and the female concubine and slave of the former Prime Minister Yao Chong's family were transformed from a death row prisoner by Xue Chongxun, and Meng Xiaoyu taught it again, but now it came in handy.
But there were only a dozen people coming and going, and I got tired of watching it after drinking for three rounds. The scale of this happy scene was completely incomparable to that of Princess Taiping.
But it is better than nothing, and it is indeed possible to match the atmosphere.
The willow bank of the prince's kingdom is in the breeze of carved buildings, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras drifts with the wind. There are also the guests' poems, songs, laughter and joy, and the charming voice of the girl, which is truly a song and dance to peace.
After the reception banquet, Xue Chongxun personally gave the newly-returned staff a bathing leave, so that everyone could rest at home for three days without having to go to the official office to pay.
But Wang Changling came to the Prince's Kingdom the next day. After hearing this, Zhang Jiuling had to come over and sit for a while in the afternoon.
Within two days, Wang Changling began to take over the affairs of the Prince. Xue Chongxun remembered the property sent by the Tubo envoy, so he went to pick a few novel items, and ordered Wang Changling to hand the remaining items over to the Ministry of Revenue to replenish the treasury.
This little money is of course nothing to the size of the treasury, so Wang Changling mentioned this matter in front of Zhang Jiuling and others.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiuling sighed: I will return to Anbei, which will be within two years this year and next, and I will definitely not be able to wait for five years.
Wang Changling said: Why did Zishou suddenly mention the incident of Anbei?
Zhang Jiuling touched his chin and smiled and said: Didn’t Shao Bo mention the gifts given by the Tubo people? As a prince, Xue Lang naturally doesn’t have to go to the reputation of being clean and simple and economical, so why should he send it to the Ministry of Revenue?Xue Lang was impatient. He was just trying to get a lot of military spending in the short term. He was so anxious that he even took the gifts given by the envoys to make up the numbers. Since he had such a mind, why would it take five years to fight again with the Turks?
Yu Wenxiao, who was standing aside, had the lowest attainments in this kind of strategy. He was originally less than other staff members. After hearing Zhang Jiuling's reasoning, he was immediately admired and couldn't help but praise: Zishou really knew that the world was autumn when he saw a leaf falling!
He heard this poem from Xue Chongxun. When he was with a few literati, Yu Wenxiao couldn't help but use words to pay more attention to it. He really learned from anyone who is with him.
Yuwen Xiao is the oldest here, but he is not without strengths. He immediately said: Xue Lang needs military expenses, so we should focus on it and think of more ways to share the prince's worries. Ah.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiuling laughed and said nothing. He glanced at Yuwen Xiao and thought to himself: It is rumored that this person was originally a peddler and pawn. When we came out of the mountain, we looked down on him a little. Fortunately, we did not express our feelings. Now it seems that he can reach his current status.
Wang Changling pondered: Last year, the prime minister in the court discussed major events in the princely country. The military system law proposed by the Secretariat has now been slightly effective, and I think the tax law mentioned by Xianggong Liu is more visionary.Using gifts to enrich the treasury is a drop in the bucket. If the tax reform proposed by Liu Xianggong can be implemented, it will be the foundation for enriching the treasury income.
Zhang Jiuling said: Xue Lang should have seen this a long time ago, but the implementation of the new tax law will increase the burden on the high ranks of the gentry in the world, which will inevitably cause many problems and it is difficult to control public opinion.Last year, Princess Taiping and Xue Lang delayed this discussion on the grounds of stabilizing the country during the autumn defense. Now we have proposed it again. In the future, we will probably not give us any good faces when meeting scholars and celebrities. Maybe we will have some bad reputation.
It involves national affairs but takes public opinion into consideration. If you really care about this, why did you destroy the Secretariat Cui in the past?
Wang Changling frowned and said, "The Cui family's literati emerged many times and has become resentful. What good reputation do we still want to have among the scholars in Shandong?"
Yuwen Xiao looked around and patted Wang Changling on the shoulder with his own expression: Shao Bo, it is best not to mention this matter again.
Wang Changling said: Gains and losses are open, what can’t be said?
Yuwen Xiaoyu said earnestly: The Cui family is Xue Lang’s opponent. Shao Bo always mentions him, aren’t you afraid that Xue Lang feels that you still have to worry about your old master?
Yuwen Xiao took the opportunity to show kindness in front of Wang Changling. When the family of Shilang Cui was destroyed, you went to burn paper to mourn him despite Xue Lang's opposition. Xue Lang was very angry. Then I said, "Cui Shilang comes from a family of aristocratic people, from the capital to the local area, how many old friends are there!Now that day is scattered, it is too late for people to separate themselves from each other, so who can speak for him?Who else pays memorial service to him?The warmth and warmth of human nature, in the end, the person who dared to cry for him in public was just a guest who had been swept out of the house!Since the young master is so concerned about Mr. Cui, he is both the main and good friend of Xue Lang. Xue Lang can't believe in his character. Then Xue Lang smiled with a smile.
The words that I advised Xue Chongxun at the beginning were not what Yu Wenxiao said at all. Yu Wenxiao did not have the kind of sentiment that sighed in life like a literati, let alone that kind of words.
The words were originally said by Liu An, but it was a trivial matter, but Yu Wen Xiao remembered them clearly. He took them out and took them for himself. He didn't even blush and looked calm, because he didn't believe it at all. After a long time, Liu An still remembered that even if he remembered, he probably wouldn't mention such trivial matter again.
Sure enough, Wang Changling was a little moved after hearing this, and his eyes looked at Yu Wenxiao differently. Yu Wenxiao's face, which had been through the wind and frost, made Wang Changling feel that this person's experience must have a sense of human feelings.
However, Zhang Jiuling was a little surprised and always felt that it was not right. But he didn't understand the matter, so he didn't say much.
Yuwen Xiao said again: Besides, Xue Lang did not give the order to destroy the family. At that time, the war was in chaos and entrusted General Yin to do this. As a result, General Yin burned hundreds of people in the family together, and stabbed Cui Shilang's daughter Cui Ying to death with his own hands. He heard that she and Xue Lang were a little bit a little... He said this even more excessively. When dealing with Cui Shilang's family, Yuwen Xiao was also present. Yin Ci was thinking about Xue Chongxun's intentions, but Yuwen Xiao kept persuading to make a ruthless move. In addition, Cui Ying was almost defiled, and Yin Ci cut her with a knife to protect her innocence.
Now, Yu Wenxiao put all the blame on Yin Ci.Anyway, Yin Ci is a military general and is not present now.
Zhang Jiuling felt a little bored when the two of them were talking about old things there because he committed to it late and had no idea about those things.
He changed the topic and said: I have also carefully read Liu Xianggong's new tax law. The reason for the dissatisfaction among scholars is that it is not easy to implement, it may end in failure, and it may also lead to more problems.After all, if you do not receive support from famous families in the local area, it will be difficult for local officials to govern.Perhaps Princess Taiping and Zhongshuling finally decided to delay the case because of this consideration.
Wang Changling said with a sad face: What Zishou said is that taxes cannot be collected based on the amount of property and land. Even if the two tax laws are implemented, it will avoid the important and cannot fundamentally solve the financial problems.
Zhang Jiuling said: Reducing military expenditures can be easily maintained. Trying to make achievements will certainly shake the foundation of the old rules.But Xue Lang was obviously unwilling to do so in power, otherwise the reform of the military system of the Secretariat would not be supported.Now it seems that solving the problem of military reserves has greatly increased the burden on the treasury. If the court does not manage and clear, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain it.
Wang Changling had no choice but to come out for a moment and thought hard without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuling smiled and Wang Changling hurriedly asked why. He said: Those who govern the country are like those who lead troops, and those who are in peace in the world are all in place. Heroes have no place to use their skills. So what if they have martial arts?
The one who is close to the red is red, and Wang Changling is influenced by him and his mind is also broadened.
Although Wang Changling and Zhang Jiuling and others were famous in history, they had not yet reached the peak of their career at this time. Compared with the entire court, Liu An came here to accompany him to express his attitude, even if he became the prime minister, he had not forgotten his true identity.
