Chapter 391 Please send troops to attack Koguryo
"Are you sick?" Yan Fei fell down the car window and looked at hundreds of servants holding swords and guns blocking the city gate. As for the fat man who was served by several beautiful maids, he felt inexplicable. He didn't know the fat old man at all, so he actually brought people to block his way. He thought it was blocking people after school.
Many people around who were originally planning to enter the city but were blocked outside were also watching from a distance, pointing at Yan Fei and the fat man in a python robe, and each looked bad. There was a curfew in Chang'an City. If you entered the city late, you might not have time to leave the city, which would be miserable. So you naturally glared at the guys blocking the door.
As for the guards of the city gate, there was a prince who brought people to block the door. How could they dare to block it? Moreover, they did not block the city gate directly, but arranged the formations outside the city gate for several battles. Including that, it was not their own jurisdiction.
"Who are you?" Yan Fei turned his head and shouted at the fat old man from the car window.
Before the fat old man could speak, a middle-aged man wearing a dark green official uniform and handsome, jumped out and shouted at Yan Fei, "Bold! Why don't you get off the carriage in front of the prince quickly salute!"
"Idiot." Yan Fei spitted out the car window and took out a Beletta pistol from the travel bag in the passenger seat next to him.
Yan Fei truly has the powerful strength of a leopard who can break the tiger and leopard, push the giant bear with one punch, kick the crocodile with one foot, lift the nine cauldrons with one hand without panting, and can get hurt by swords, guns, swords and halberds. But he is increasingly disliked to rely on physical strength to deal with troubles. Usually, he prefers to use technological means to solve the problem.
"Young guys, take this guy with me!" When the middle-aged handsome guy was still jumping around and calling the servants to come forward to pull Yan Fei out of the car, after a gunshot, the middle-aged handsome guy looked down at his bloody thighs in disbelief, and then howled shrillly.
Several generals from the royal family rushed to the scene and pushed the beautiful maids away to guard the prince. Because of the long-term fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers of this era were much stronger than those of the Guanzhong Mansion a hundred years later.
The scene was in chaos, and many servants followed the orders and tried to attack Yan Fei, while others were panicked because of the sudden change.
Yan Fei frowned and opened fire on several servants rushing over with Beretta. Under the crisp sound of gunfire, the servants rushing in front screamed and hugged their legs and fell to the ground.
This is Yan Fei's mercy, otherwise it would not be a thug but a thug. However, even if it is a thug, if it is an antibiotic-free era, even Sun Simiao would not be able to save them.
As the saying goes, the kind of owner is like a dog. The prince himself is a waste who enjoys wealth and wealth through his background. Naturally, his subordinates are mostly wine bags. As the crisp gunfire sounded, the number of powerful servants suddenly scattered.
The prince wearing a python robe was escorted into the carriage by his family generals, and then ran into the city. Behind the carriage were many servants who had lost their equipment and were in a mess. These people were as if they were going to swallow the world, but after a few gunshots, they ran away with thunder in their palms. If Li Shimin knew about this, he would probably have exploded.
"What the hell?" Yan Fei was really speechless. He just said hello and collapsed before he even got to the point. He had not even figured out who was on the other side.
"Who was that just now?" Yan Fei asked the sergeant guarding the gate when he drove to the city gate.
Because Yan Fei often walked through the city gate, he became familiar with the soldiers guarding the gate.
The soldiers guarding the gate were obviously very respectful, and looked at Boreta in Yan Fei's hand with a look of awe. They also regarded it as the Taoist treasure as the thunder in the palm of the Taoist treasure.
"Reply to your words, it was the carriage of the Prince of Changling." The city gate guard responded respectfully.
"Prince Changling?" Yan Fei was stunned at first, then suddenly realized that "it was him."
The Changling Prince Li Youxin was the prince who had fallen in love with Eleventh Lady who wanted to be included in the backyard. Yan Fei specifically asked Zhao Si to inquire about him, but after learning that he was a waste, he didn't care much. Unexpectedly, he actually came over to block him today. Seeing his actions, he was really a fool.
Ordinary people may not understand their own strength, but almost everyone in the court knows it. In this case, they will come to trouble themselves for a woman. What else can this be if this is not a fool?
Yan Fei wronged the prince in this regard. Because he was too incompetent, the prince of Changling was always raised as a pig. He himself didn't care about the affairs in the court, and no one would take the initiative to inform him. So the news about Yan Fei he received was that Yan Fei was a record officer who knew some magic.
In the eyes of Li Youxin, who was addicted to wine all day long, it seemed that Yan Fei, a little unknown person, dared to compete with him for a woman, which greatly reduced his face. So he brought people to block Yan Fei and wanted to wait until he taught him a lesson.
Yan Fei really didn't expect that he would meet such a fool. Li Yuanshi might have tolerated these guys who had made a little contribution but had been lying on the credit book, but Li Shimin was a strong man who couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. Such idiots don't need to waste their time by themselves.
After Yan Fei entered the city, he did not go to the mansion, but rushed along Zhuque Street to the imperial city to find Li Shimin. Yes, he was just coming to complain. Li Shimin was much more convenient than he did it himself.
In the past, Yan Fei did all kinds of things by himself in the late Ming Dynasty and the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was not because he was greedy for power. The main reason was that he could not find a strong man who could cooperate. Whether it was the stubborn Chongzhen or the cowardly and incompetent Zhao Heng, or the Zhao Ji, who was known as the No. 1 foolish monarch in the ages, was not a strong man who could cooperate with confidence, so Yan Fei had no choice but to get started by himself.
Now it’s different. Li Shimin, who was considered outstanding among hundreds of emperors in the past dynasties, was an absolute strongman, so Yan Fei chose to cooperate with each other and get what they needed.
After coming to the palace, Yan Fei told Li Shimin directly about this matter. Li Er, who was cooperating with Yan Fei in the grain business, was indeed furious when he heard this. He had long been dissatisfied with the many titles his father had crazily enthroned in the early days of the founding of the country. After he took up the throne, he not only strictly controlled the issuance of titles, but also tried his best to recover the indiscriminate titles.
Li Shimin announced an imperial edict in front of Yan Fei, which was that Li Youxin, the prince of Changling, was arrogant and extravagant, and did many things that violated the national law. The special edict deprived him of the title of the prince and sent him to leave Chang'an City and return to Jinyang to guard the ancestral tomb.
A prince seems to have a high position and a powerful position, but he has to be treated accordingly. Even if a prince like Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong is suing him, Li Er will at most adjust the situation. Because both of them are very capable and are loyal to Li Shimin.
But if Li Youxin did this just because he paid some money when Li Yuan raised his army and had no contribution after that, he would die of drunkenness and dream of death all day long. Of course, he would just do whatever he wanted.
As for the charges, no one like Li Youxin is guilty of being blamed. The only difference is whether you are willing to pursue it or not.
After the eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch left, Li Er threw this matter out of his mind and began to discuss the matter with Yan Fei. "In three days, they bought half of the grain from the official warehouse in the city in just three days. I really didn't expect these people to be so rich."
Yan Fei's mind moved, "Listen to Your Majesty's tone, does Your Majesty want to use force to confiscate the house directly?"
Li Er's face turned slightly red. After he learned that the grain merchants bought half of the stored grain in just three days, they did have the idea of directly raiding their homes and grabbing money. With the army in his hands, why waste time and effort to make any plans? It's easier and more convenient to grab them directly.
"It's not impossible to do this." Yan Fei thought about it and said, "Actually, sometimes I like to grab it directly. But it's not suitable for Your Majesty's current environment."
"Your Majesty's main purpose should be the aristocratic family. As for these grain merchants, they are just fighting with rabbits. Your Majesty can kill these grain merchants, but can your Majesty directly attack the aristocratic family?" Yan Fei smiled on his face. "If you can't directly attack the aristocratic family, it is to alert the snake. Apart from getting some money, food and grass, it will also make the aristocratic family alert."
"Maybe Your Majesty doesn't care about the feelings of the merchants." Yan Fei thought about it and said the rest. "But if you use force directly instead of commercial means to rob wealth, the business of the Tang Dynasty will definitely collapse, at least the business of Chang'an City will collapse. Because no businessman dares to believe Your Majesty, nor dares to do business under His Majesty's nose. The losses to the Tang Dynasty in this regard are fatal."
Li Shimin disagreed with Yan Fei's words. In this farm-oriented era, the low status of merchants was more like a fat pig in the eyes of the royal family and officials. When it was fat enough, they just killed and ate it. As for merchants, they lacked the necessary understanding of the importance of commercial circulation.
The fundamental reason is that the scale of business is too small to form enough influence. This can only be understood in the rich business atmosphere of the modern world. In the same sentence, it is actually not the people that determine everything, but the environment in which people live.
"The grain merchants are indeed very rich." Seeing the disapproving look on Li Er's face, Yan Fei shook his head slightly and then changed the topic. "And there are support from aristocratic families behind them, so it is not uncommon even if they buy all the food."
"But your Majesty doesn't have to worry. With my support, they won't buy all the food even if they are pants. And your Majesty buys it from me for thirty cents, and then sells it to the grain merchant at a price of fifty cents. The difference here and there made a lot of money. Not only is it enough to pay my debt, but it can also make a lot of money. Your Majesty really knows how to do business."
Li Shimin naturally knew this, so he nodded slightly and asked, "What compensation do you want? You can choose any treasures in my palace except for the royal family."
