After the night banquet, the Goguryeo court once again returned to its former quietness.
However, there is an undercurrent under the court, and all forces are pouring into each other, all of them want to get more benefits from the business group of the Tang Dynasty, and the Wubu Mattress is sparing no effort to win over.
If this matter had been placed a few years ago when Quangai Suwen was still there, there would have been no such chaos as it is now, as the eastern bedding, Quangai Suwen's power at that time was definitely the crown of Goguryeo, and even Gao Jianwu was not an opponent.
But now it's different, Quan Gai Suwen fell into the hands of Li Er in order to take revenge, and his sons Quan Nanjian were not very angry, and they almost lost their original prestige.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Quan Gai Suwen is missing, before his life or death is confirmed, the other mattresses still dare not oppress the Quan clan too much, and it is precisely because of this that the spearhead of several forces will be aimed at Gao Jianwu.
And Gao Jianwu also learned that Quangai Suwen had been controlled by Li Shimin, so he dared to win over all the forces of the Tang Dynasty, and planned to take advantage of the situation to suppress several other departments and consolidate his position.
In other words, Goguryeo seems to be calm at the moment, but in fact it has begun to become stormy, and as long as one is not careful, it is likely to cause war.
On this day, Gao Jianwu met with the main persons in charge of several major families of the Tang Dynasty recommended by Pei Xingjian in his study.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Gao Jianwu asked while ordering tea: "A few gentlemen, I don't know if you are still used to living in the city these days."
"Thanks to Your Majesty, it's quite a habit."
Several old foxes looked at each other and replied in unison.
Gao Jianwu knew that there must be something wrong with a few people coming to him, so he took the initiative to provoke the conversation: "Then, I don't know if there is anything else that I need to help with."
"Oh, that's right."
The housekeeper in Li Xiaogong's mansion said with a smile: "We are here mainly to discuss with Your Majesty the ownership of several mines. ” "Belonging" Gao Jianwu was stunned for a moment: "What do the gentlemen mean?"
"We want to get the right to mine iron ore, blackstone ore and copper ore for 50 years."
The Lu family said bluntly.
"What this can't be."
Gao Jianwu's face changed as soon as he brushed it, and he started shooting.
Whether it is iron ore or blackstone or copper ore, it is something that must not be let go of any country, if the mining rights are really completely released, Gao Jianwu believes that the other party will not leave anything for himself after fifty years.
But since the big families dared to come to him to talk about this matter, they would not be unprepared, and when they saw him angry, they just glanced at each other, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
The representative of the Cui family smiled even more nonchalantly and said: "Your Majesty, don't be busy refusing yet, in fact, before we came here, the mattress of several other departments had already agreed to our conditions, but we felt that we were a little sorry for the master here if we didn't tell Your Majesty." ” Gao Jianwu's eyes narrowed, as if he had a stomach full of complaints to say, but in the end he held back.
After a long time, he said word by word: "You are threatening me. ” "No, Your Majesty misunderstood, we are just discussing, you know, businessmen are profit-seeking, we can't help it, if the news comes back to the family, saying that we don't do our best, I'm afraid that we will be punished more severely at that time."
The representative of the Zheng family explained.
It's just that his explanation is no different from not explaining, the central idea is that Lao Tzu is like this, either give benefits, or we will help others, if you want money or money, you can do it.
Gao Jianwu took two deep breaths to suppress the evil fire in his heart, turned his head to look at Pei Xingjian and said, "Mr.
Pei, you mean the same thing" Pei Xingjian pushed 625: "Your Majesty, Xiaosheng is just a recommendation." ” Introduce you, uncle, you are clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Even if Gao Jianwu was killed, he didn't believe that there was no collusion between Pei Xingjian and these people.
But even so, what can be done, he begged Pei Xingjian for help before, but now even if he wants to regret it, it is too late.
But then again, this doesn't seem to be bad, if the fifty-year mining rights are handed over to these big families, at least they can share some of the pressure and lead the dissatisfaction of a few mattresses to the Tang people.
And he Gao Jianwu doesn't seem to have really lost anything, it's a big deal to wait until the domestic situation stabilizes in the future, and then take back the mine after all those mattresses have fallen, I believe that when the whole country is twisted into a rope, even if these Tang families are not satisfied, there is no good way.
Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu's mentality was much better, and he sighed and said: "Actually, I also understand the thoughts of several gentlemen, that's it, fifty years is fifty years, but I said ugly things in the front, if you want to open a mine, you must hire people in my Goguryeo, and you must treat everyone equally, and you can't default on wages." ” Seeing that Gao Jianwu had compromised, several old men said in unison: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the matter of arrears of wages is still disdainful to be done. ” Gao Jianwu looked at the ugly faces of several people in front of him, and he was angry, and openly expelled the guest: "In this case, I will hand over the next matter to Jin Chengyou, and if you need anything, you can talk to him." ” "So we will leave" Since the purpose has been achieved, a few old guys naturally will not continue to stay to see Gao Jianwu's face, and they will leave the imperial study one by one, and look at each other and smile after coming out.
Fifty years of mining rights, that's all money, occupy these mines in advance, even if Datang really comes over in the future, it is impossible for anyone to snatch these things that belong to them.
And not long after these people with the surname of Qiwang left the palace, several other mattresses also received the news, and after knowing that Gao Jianwu had agreed to the conditions, they all angrily scolded the traitors.
But scolding and scolding, they also know that Gao Jianwu does have this power, after all, he is the orthodoxy of Goguryeo, and the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty and Qiwang will sign a contract with them unless they are crazy.
It's just that I'm so unwilling, with the support of the five surnames and seven hopes, Gao Jianwu is equivalent to finding a strong backer, and if he wants to move him, he has to consider the meaning of the Tang Dynasty.
But fortunately, although the family has returned to Gao Jianwu, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty are waiting, and it would be good if they could win their support, everyone has their own background, and no one can overwhelm anyone.
With such thoughts, the actions of the spokespersons of several mattresses became more and more obvious, and they began to solicit all kinds of beauties and jewelry, and they all wanted to have a good relationship with the spokesperson of the court.
It was under such circumstances that the situation in Goguryeo became even more tense, and the royalists fought openly and secretly with various local forces, and there were even two assassinations
