Chapter 1019 The ban on copper
Outside Chenhui Gate, the northeast corner of the palace, the underground black market in Xijier Lane.
No one would have thought that as the Emperor of Northern Zhou, Chai Xing would not stay in the dragon bed in the middle of the night and not hold concubines, but would actually come to the underground black market to be alone with an old man.
This old man is nothing but Wang Bu.
This underground black market in Xijier Lane is simply the territory of Sixingzong.
"Do you know?"
Chai Xing looked at Wang Bu with a resentful look on his face, as if he was a resentful woman, and his tone of speaking was even more similar.
"Before darkness, Li Ju's eldest son came to the palace to cry to me, saying that his father was absolutely obscene and had no intention of treason. The salt and goods trade in the five states would definitely return to the court as usual, and I would not believe in villains' slander."
Li Ju was the envoy of Zelu Army.
Wang Bu was stunned. Didn’t Buddhism sell Li Ju to Fengsha, and sell a favor to Chai Xing through Fengsha? How could Li Ju have the qualifications to rebel?
Wang Bu couldn't help asking, "Who made a slander? Who said his father was unjust and wanted to rebel?"
Chai Xing's face became even more resentful: "It's just not!"
Wang Bu was even more stunned: "Isn't this the place without silver for three hundred taels?"
Chai Xing looked at him without saying a word.
Wang Bu suddenly woke up.
"I understand, the purpose is to have no silver here. I will use his mouth to tell Your Majesty that Li Ju can be disobedient, or he can be treasonable, and the salt and goods trade in the five states can not be returned to the court. This is just saying the slander."
Chai Xing sighed and said, "It seems that the snake was still shocked. It was baring the poisonous fangs at me, showing off its intimidation, and forcing me to stop!"
Wang Bu said in a deep voice: "The five prefectures under Li Ju are the front lines against the pseudo-Han and Khitan coalition forces. I am armor and the other is sharp blade. One plus and one subtraction, gains and losses are not only two. If you are not sure, I hope Your Majesty will think twice before doing it."
When the Buddha was destroyed, there was a imperial power over the top and a four-spirited sword drawing below. Li Ju couldn't turn the sky, and the situation is very different now.
If the four spirits resist, Li Ju will have great room for transformation, and he will do whatever he wants, and you can surrender to the Northern Han or even the Khitan.
The five prefectures under the jurisdiction of Zelu Army were the northwest gateway of Bianzhou, and their importance was equivalent to those of Huainan to the Southern Tang Dynasty. After passing the five prefectures, they left the mountainous areas and went straight to the Yellow River defense line.
The offensive and defensive momentum is easy to change, and the battle in Gaoping is like a waste of fighting. People just need to raise their feet and get outside your door.
Wang Bu believes that Fengsha doesn’t want the situation to really develop to such a level, otherwise it would be impossible to do it secretly?
Why ask Li Ju's son to cry to Chai Xing?
So the warning is stronger.
If Chai Xing insisted on taking action, of course he would not be stingy with the snake kissing and gnawing.
Chai Xing was silent for a long time and said a long sentence.
"...All money can not be sold and cast into copper goods. If there is a crime, someone will arrest him or her, and the offender will be punished and killed..."
After listening with some confusion, Wang Bu whispered: "This is the bronze ban issued by the late emperor, but it has greatly hindered it, which has caused it to be in name only."
Chai Xing said another paragraph.
"...In addition to court rituals, military weapons, etc., as well as bells and chimes in temples, the remaining bronzes and Buddha statues from the people were ordered to be given to the officials within fifty days. They were concealed and concealed for the expiration of the time, and the prisoners were executed."
Wang Bu coughed lightly: "This is an edict drafted by Your Majesty. I think if I want to ban bronze ware in the world, of course, it is the easiest thing to break the mouth of Buddhism."
Chai Xing said slowly: "There is a rare shortage of coins, and it is imperative to collect copper from the world. It is not today, but tomorrow. Now we can take advantage of the power of Buddhism. If the Buddhists recover their vitality, I will face not only the four spirits."
Wang Bu stopped talking, Chai Xing was determined to ban copper, and no one could stop him.
He was in the center and knew best how short of money the Great Zhou is now. To be precise, it was lack of money for circulation.
For this reason, Chai Xing devoted himself a lot of effort and even destroyed the Buddha, which shows how firm the determination was.
Chai Xing thought for a long time and pondered: "Apart from the court's legal objects, military objects, official objects and mirrors, as well as bells, chimes, cymbals, wheels, fire beads, bells and bells in the temple, all other bronze objects are forbidden."
Wang Bu came back now and from the bronze ban issued by Guo Wu to the bronze ban he drafted for Chai Xing, the degree of which was actually becoming more and more relaxed.
These two bans of bronze orders were executed directly regardless of their weight. The difference is that the latter will be implemented by the wind of destroying Buddha and the resistance they encounter will be much smaller.
The bronze ban that Chai Xing finally mentioned was actually the loosest control. He only mentioned the banned bronze ware, but did not mention how to deal with it.
This shows that although Chai Xing was determined to forbid copper, he still had quite rationality.
This paragraph is obviously used to negotiate with the Four Spirits.
In other words, Chai Xing began to consider negotiations rather than working hard on the front, indicating that the warning of wind and sand was very effective.
Wang Bu said cautiously: "Although Your Majesty has made great concessions, I am still worried that the Four Spirits may misunderstand Your Majesty's intentions."
The reason is very simple. Qin captured the world's soldiers and forged twelve gold men, setting a precedent in history. In essence, it was forcibly taking over the world and violence to the court.
At that time, the Mohists, the largest violent organization among the people, almost disappeared, and they have not recovered their vitality to this day.
After that, any dynasty with ambition to unify would do this last time, and every time the Mo family's remains would suffer severe damage, such as the Four Spirits.
This is the core interest of the four spirits' life and death, and the four spirits' vigilance against such things can be imagined.
Although Wang Bu said he was worried about the misunderstanding of the Four Spirits, it seemed that Chai Xing simply banned copper because of his lack of copper.
In fact, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Chai Xing wanted to use the bronze of the world to ban the world's soldiers.
Even he didn't believe it was just a misunderstanding, how could the Four Spirits believe it?
Even though Chai Xing made great concessions, he still did not like the reaction of the Four Spirits.
Chai Xing said lightly: "Who said I want to talk to Si Ling? From the beginning, I just want to talk to Mo Xiu."
Wang Bu's eyes lit up and he said in contempt: "Your Majesty is wise."
Mo Xiu can represent the four spirits, but the interests of Mo Xiu are not the same as those of the four spirits.
Especially Fengsha is still a Mo Xiu who was abandoned by the four spirits. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between Fengsha and the four spirits.
You can defeat each one and then use the barbarians to control the barbarians.
Chai Xing smiled and said, "I made some arrangements just in case. His reaction was so intense, which was a bit beyond my expectations."
Wang Bu said cautiously: "He asked someone to inform Weichen that the lady of the Chai family was ascending to Tian Pavilion. It seemed to contain two meanings: one was to show kindness, implying that the lady of the Chai family was safe and sound. The other was to test, and it seemed to be waiting for the minister to reply."
Chai Xing's face was visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for his little sister who didn't obey his ban and ran out to wander around and even had a conflict with the wind and sand, he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.
"If you give your orders, no one is allowed to leave here. If anyone dares to disobey, I promise you to take action first and then report."
The reason why Chai Xing came here is because the Chai family’s staff is hidden here.
Wang Bu was so sad that he was not a good job. It was a mess.
