Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 183
After Fang Xuanling returned home, he hesitated to discuss with Lu’s family about helping Lu Zhaolin raise relatives.
When Lu heard this, she was not very happy. Although she didn’t like Lu Zhaolin’s nephew anymore, she was not happy to push Lu Zhaolin to Shangzhu. She said: “Although my cousin is not very noticeable, he is also a child of the Lu family. How can the family allow him to be the lord? And if you mention it, the sage may not agree to it, and then you will not be able to please either side.” Lu said Then I was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanying who mentioned this matter, “If it is really good, King Teng will not look for you.”
Fang Xuanling shut her mouth, she didn’t dare to mention Li Yuanying’s daily running in front of Li Er’s Majesty to discredit them, fearing that Lu would hate Li Yuanying even more.
The next day, His Majesty Li Er took the initiative to ask Fang Xuanling about what happened yesterday, wanting to know what Li Yuanying said to Fang Xuanling. Most people who say bad things behind their backs are heard by the master, and they must have no face to find someone else. Li Yuanying is different. Li Yuanying has a very thick skin and can catch up with him and talk for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er was very interested in how Li Yuanying fooled Fang Xuanling.
Although Fang Xuanling didn’t discuss the result with Lu Shi, she didn’t dare to hide it at this time, and told His Majesty Li Yuanying’s rhetoric.
Li Yuanying’s mouth is the most capable thing all over his body, a mouth that can even be said to be white if it is black. After hearing what Li Yuanying said to Fang Xuanling, His Majesty Li Er asked Fang Xuanling’s opinion: “Fang Qing, what do you think?”
Fang Xuanling’s expression was a bit bitter when she heard that she had to make her own decision. He is really not good at making decisions, especially when he is not sure what his Majesty Li Er thinks.
After hesitating for a long time, Fang Xuanling found a suitable explanation: “Since King Teng is so optimistic about them, this marriage should not be wrong.”
His Majesty Li Er said: “You trust him.”
Fang Xuanling said: “His Royal Highness Teng’s Ming Jing and Jinshi ranking tops in the imperial examination year were his best friends.
When it comes to this point, Fang Xuanling actually sighed a little bit in her heart. Don’t look at Du He even though Li Yuanying went out to sea privately, but when it comes to future, Du He is definitely better than Fang Jun. At the beginning, the two boys were both well-known dandies in Chang’an. Now Du He has grown up, but his son is still the same!
His Majesty Li Er listened to Fang Xuanling’s reply and did not continue this topic.
After a few more days, His Majesty Li Er learned about the various things that had happened between Gao Yang and Lu Zhaolin. Although the two children liked each other, they didn’t take any action. Even the exchanged manuscripts were given to the other party through Li Yuanying. Poor Li Yuanying was a little slow in the matter of love, and he didn’t know anything about it. Naturally, he didn’t know the careful movement between them.
Knowing that her daughter had not been abducted and Li Yuanying did not knowingly committed the crime, Majesty Li Er was in a moody mood.
Since Lu Zhaolin looked good, it was not impossible to give Gao Yang Xu to him.
However, as Li Yuanying was not open, His Majesty Li Er could not rest assured that Li Yuanying would take his princesses out, lest his daughters would be spotted again.
His Majesty Li Er did not catch Li Yuanying again, and told Li Yuanying of his decision. Li Yuanying didn’t know that in just a few days, His Majesty Li Er had checked the exchanges between Gao Yang and Lu Zhaolin, only to feel that His Majesty Li Er finally loosened, and happily offered His Majesty Li Er several days of diligence.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the palace with a foot restraint. What happened to him running errands for his brother!
So even though Li Yuanying didn’t leave the palace, the ministers saw him wandering around Li Er every day.
This bullshit!
No matter how little Li Yuanying is a sycophant, everyone can only pinch their noses to recognize him. Who told your Majesty Li Er to have such a large forbidden foot range, let him jump around in the palace.
In the blink of an eye, a year ago, Li Yuanying circled his Majesty Li Er for more than two months, and finally ushered in his first chance to go out of the palace: accompany Li Er to Lishan for his birthday.
Although Cuiwei Palace was newly built, the hot spring on the side of Lishan is more comfortable. His Majesty Li Er decided to spend his life there and soak in a hot spring comfortably. Li Yuanying was kept in the palace for so many days, and it was three months after rounding up. His Majesty Li Er took him with him.
The year is coming to an end.
For Datang, this has been a peaceful year. But for Goryeo, this year has not been peaceful. For the Wa country, this was a very turbulent year.
Prince Katsuragi planned to assassinate Suworulu.
Huangji Emperor’s Zen position.
The Suwo family, who has enjoyed three generations, finally withdrew from the stage of history.
It is a pity that in this throne change, there are many more variables and chaos everywhere. Prince Katsuragi was good at slaying Suwo into the deer, and his popularity in the Japanese country was rising day by day, and Dai Ting and his party were also given preferential treatment.
This greatly facilitated Dai Ting’s actions.
The first thing Dai Ting did was to help Li Yuanying prepare a boat for Li Er’s birthday gift: a boat full of silver.
The silver appearance of this ship is so ugly that no one noticed it all the way. Li Yuanying was quite curious when she heard that Dai Ting had sent back good things. When she went over, she was shocked: Is there so much silver in the country? !
On closer inspection, there is even a handful of gold on the list.
This is real money!
In the past, Dai Ting always brought back good things when he went out, but the goods looked far less intuitive than real money. This is all white silver! Such a large pile, as high as a hill, looks shocking!
Li Yuanying didn’t hesitate, and immediately asked people to send things to the foot of Lishan. When this batch of silver was sent to Lishan, things were still quite inadvertently wrapped up, and no one noticed it at all. When the guards opened it during the routine inspection, they were all shocked by Li Yuanying’s big hand: Is Li Yuanying in Tengzhou Is the silver mine secretly mined over there?
The guard in charge of the security check didn’t dare to be negligent, and immediately reported to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er was discussing with Changsun Wuji and the others. Hearing that Li Yuanying had brought a cart of silver with him, he was shocked, and went to see how Li Yuanying made such a big move again.
Li Yuanying was still sitting there, sulking, so she checked and reported to his emperor brother. In this way, he couldn’t surprise his emperor brother on the day of his birthday! Although he hadn’t figured out how much gold and silver there were, he was full of so many cars, and it looked so imposing!
Now it’s okay, these people are going to tell him the emperor brother first, no surprises at all!
His Majesty Li Er went down to the side courtyard where the carriage was parked in the palace, and saw Li Yuanying sitting there with a depressed expression, “I’m particularly unhappy”. They are all at the age to marry a wife, but they still look like this when they grow up, which is really worrying and helpless.
Seeing that Li Er had come down, Li Yuanying jumped up and ran over to complain to Li Er: “Brother Emperor, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but they had to report this to you. There was no surprise on your birthday. Can’t blame me!”
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and asked: “Where did you get so much gold and silver?” Seeing Li Yuanying’s excitement, it was obvious that he just got it, not what he saved in Tengzhou.
As soon as he mentioned where the gold and silver came from, Li Yuanying got even more vigorous, and pulled His Majesty Li Er to talk about some of the things that Dai Ting briefly mentioned in the letter.
It is important to mention that Dai Ting “accidentally” passed a big silver mine in the Wa country: He was originally unwilling to buy land in Wa, after all, Wa is so far away from Datang, it is just a small island, not a good place to buy a home. But at the time of the turmoil in the country of Japan, the owner of that area had to sell him even the mountain and land, and Dai Ting had no choice but to save them from the fire and water. Who knows, after buying it, he found that there was a big silver mine in it!
Due to the displacement and hardship of the people of the Japanese nation at that time, Dai Ting also felt distressed in his eyes, and immediately selected a group of people who worked hard to help mine this silver mine. The reason why they have mined so many silver mines so quickly and refined into silver so quickly is because these diligent and struggling people want to work hard to feed their families!
The ease of silver mining and cheap labor have greatly increased the output of silver. Seeing that the silver accumulates more and more, and the anti-smashing hands are not safe, Dai Ting quietly notified Li Dejian, who had been accused of the stick, and asked them to sneak over and bring back the mined silver.
As for why it was secretly, that is also easy to explain. At that time, the Wa country was so chaotic, everyone’s belongings were hidden, and the wealth was not revealed! Even if Prince Katsuragi treated them with courtesy, they couldn’t help but guard against the possibility of moving people’s hearts.
Li Yuanying’s simple words in Dai Ting’s letter, “Take advantage of the chaos in the Japanese country, a silver mine” was transformed into his own words to tell His Majesty Li Er, Majesty Li Er had no expression, Changsun Wuji and others were all caught by Li Yuanying. The shamelessness of this passage was shocked: Hearing what he said, this matter is indeed done in an upright and high-sounding manner, and even Mimi’s compassionate mind.
In the final analysis, isn’t what the people under Li Yuanying do is to grab good things into their bowls while others are in a mess? !
This mine is in the country of Wo, if Li Yuanying can let people pick it up, no one can stop it. After all, it is not Datang’s mineral deposits, and there is no such thing as private mining.
Li Yuanying lifted the gray and autumnal cloth on each car, and the color of the white flowers in the sun dazzled everyone’s eyes.
Li Yuanying told His Majesty Li Er of his idea: “I think we can encourage the fleet to go to sea. We should try our best to help if someone needs help. If we see the minerals that Datang can use, we will also use them. Buy it back at a fair price. After all, it takes thousands of years for the mine to be generated, and when it is used up, there is nothing. When it is not necessary, we try not to dig as much as possible, so as to save more money for future generations.”
His Majesty Li Er nodded, thinking Li Yuanying made sense.
Li Yuanying expressed his idea: “But you can’t let people go out to sea casually, otherwise no one knows what they are going to do. Sea boats are not bigger than ordinary boats, and they are generally larger and inconvenient to dock. You must have them. A large supporting terminal. In the future, we will build a large terminal and set up a customs at a suitable place. All incoming and outgoing items must be inspected and a certain customs duty will be collected. Without a certificate issued by the customs, we cannot go to sea! Since tax is collected, we It is necessary to protect the people going to sea so that they cannot be bullied outside, so our sea masters must also practice!”
His Majesty Li Er said: “The court has had relevant decree on these matters, but they have not been implemented smoothly.” Not everyone is as afraid of death as Li Yuanying, and is not afraid of fear at all in the face of the vast sea.
Li Yuanying said: “I moved to the beach for a few months at the beginning of the year and watched them get up early to go fishing in the sea. They are vigorous and agile. Brother, you know, the so-called “relying on mountains, mountains, water, and water”, many people who rely on the sea live by the sea. They have been up and down in the waves since they were born, and they have watched a lot of winds and waves, and they will not be afraid in their hearts. What they lack is actually the direction, the leader. As long as we give them directions and give them a leader, they can all sail into the sea.”
His Majesty Li Er glared at him.
He was even hindered from going to Mount Tai, but this kid was playing everywhere and even tried to go to sea.
Li Yuanying saw His Majesty Li Er glared over, and she understood. His Majesty Li Er was stabbed in the painful spot by him: He wanted to go out to play but couldn’t go!
To be honest, after being confined for three months, Li Yuanying felt that this was not a human life. His emperor took the throne, and he was tied to the place by the throne. He couldn’t live his own beautiful life like him!
Li Yuanying said: “Brother Emperor, I will dedicate all these gold and silver to you when I congratulate you on your birthday.” What he donated this time is not only gold and silver, but to the people present to see: The overseas world is vast and wide, but Hiding a huge treasure.
Once the wharf is repaired, as long as the wharf is connected to the spacious official road from Chang’an to Mount Tai, this wharf will quickly become Datang’s premier trading port. The transportation is so convenient and the benefits are so huge, can they not be tempted? And those who have the opportunity to participate in the birthday banquet of His Majesty Li Er happen to be the kind of people who can act as long as they are tempted!
They have fields and land in their hands, and some have money. Even if they can’t make up a fleet of ships, it is not a problem to get three or five sea ships.
None of the people present were stupid, and I heard Li Yuanying’s implication all at once.
In the past, Wei Zheng and a few people only thought that Li Yuanying had a lot of fantastic ideas, but they suddenly discovered that Li Yuanying’s uninterrupted connection step by step turned out to be like a very tight giant net!
With the seaport and the straight road, the connection between Henan Road and Chang’an will be closer. When transporting materials, all regions will give priority to this route in order to reduce some losses. Those who had never considered sending people out to sea would be tempted by the “Treasure Island” when they saw the real gold and silver offered by Li Yuanying!
After all, it only takes a few days to sail at sea to get back so much gold and silver, and it doesn’t seem to be a loss?
Changsun Wuji was a little frightened, his eyes became more solemn when he looked at Li Yuanying.
Did Li Yuanying get to this step by mistake, or planned it from the beginning? If it was planned from the beginning, he was afraid it would not be as absurd as it seems on the surface.
To know that this is really done, he must sit on the largest seaport in Datang, and the annual customs tariff alone is a huge profit.
At that time, he has soldiers and money in his hands, and he can also get overseas mines from the sea! What’s even better is that after he was rioted when he went to sea, Majesty Li Er didn’t doubt him at all!
Changsun Wuji felt that he had to remind His Majesty Li Er again.
Li Yuanying didn’t care about Changsun Wuji’s thoughts at all, and continued to hold on to how capable his Majesty Li Er De Sedai Ting was. Next time there is another chance, he will ask Dai Ting to go to another place, so that Dai Ting can get some good things back.
His Majesty Li Er was also in a good mood, as Li Yuanying was excited to praise Daiting from time to time, and sometimes to praise his extraordinary vision and pick Daiting. Of course, he thinks that Li Yuanying is completely bragging. Just look at the looks of the people around Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying certainly doesn’t look at talents and skills when choosing people. Li Yuanying looks at his face!
The author has something to say:
Little prince: Nonsense, I will also take a look at my talent after reading my face! (Point to point)
