Datang: I Exchange the Odor of Copper for Peace

"This world is too dark, Xu Hongmin is the light, and I am the one holding the lamp for him in the dark." In the sixth year of Yonghui, King Wu was deposed and the political situation of the Tang Dynasty changed dramatically. Wang Yun, the "traitorous son" of the Wang family in Taiyuan, was on death row, but he watched the sky at night on the execution ground. He used a shocking event called the "Xianqing Amnesty" as a bet to snatch back the lives of his entire family from the imperial power. From then on, Dali Temple lost an idealistic judge, and Datang gained an "invisible financial minister" who was as gentle as jade. He was the most tacit "inner treasury steward" of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi, and he used commercial means to build palaces and raise imperial troops for the emperor; He was Wu Zetian's sharpest "economic nuclear weapon". He used account books and banknotes to force the arrogant five surnames to bow their heads; He was the only "Ark Captain" in the era of cruel officials. He used money to buy his way to hell, and preserved countless vitality of the Tang Dynasty under the butcher's knife of Lai Junchen. Above the temple, he is a profiteer who can be punished by everyone; far away in the rivers and lakes, he is the night watchman for thousands of families to establish Buddhas. From the wealthy embroidered households in Chang'an to the Iron Horse Glacier in the Western Regions; from the copper whistleblowers in Luoyang to the financial stranglehold in Yangzhou. Wang Yun won thirty-five amnesties in his life, and he did all the dirty things in the eyes of the powerful. But he always had a clean Tang Dynasty hidden in his heart - there were the laws of Xu Yougong, the poems of King Luo Bin, the moonlight of Li Bai, and a bowl of hot soup for the people. In the first half of my life, I wanted to use the code to protect the bottom line; in the second half of my life, I used the smell of copper to buy the peace of the Tang Dynasty.
