Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 184
Li Yuanying offered Wanbao and jumped to find friends to play. Although many friends stayed in Tengzhou to work, a few nieces were enough for him. He obviously had no burden on himself for being lazy for three months, so he took a bath and had fun.
Changsun Wuji approached His Majesty Li Er anxiously and mentioned his worry about Li Yuanying. According to his thoughts, since Li Yuanying’s fief belonged to Tengzhou, the seaport should not belong to him, so the important things should be held in the hands of the court.
His Majesty Li Er still believed in Changsun Wuji, and said patiently: “Before Yuan Ying went to Tengzhou, it was just a too small wharf. Now that the harbor has just been built, the tickets he issued have also been refunded. Before it has been paid off, the court now wants to take it back. Would you like to change you?”
Changsun Wuji said in his heart that the court wants to accept it, so how can I use the pipe to be happy or not? But he didn’t say this, only vaguely reminded His Majesty Li Er not to raise Li Yuanying’s heart.
His Majesty Li Er said: “I let Yuan Ying let go, not only because Yuan Ying is my younger brother, but also because Datang needs such a person who has ideas and daring to act. I hope that both the feudal king and the governor will be able to do it. Boldly put forward your own ideas and boldly implement your own decisions. Try out good ones, and we will promote them; try out bad ones, and we will take warning.” He told his uncle in his heart, “The world It’s so vast. I hope that wherever vehicles, horses and ships can reach, we can know the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and admire the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. To achieve this, it is not enough to maintain success. We need more pioneering and enterprising Talent! I hope that capable people in the world can be used for me, perform their duties and display their abilities!”
Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard the words.
He felt in a daze that he saw the spirited young man again. His Majesty Li Er at that time was really a bright and scorching young man. Many people thought that he was walking dogs and cockfighting, indulging in hunting, especially not doing his job, but secretly admiring his wanton flying.
After so many years, even though he was used to seeing life and death, and even though he had more suspicions, he still had the soul that was very different from the others in his bones.
For Li Yuanying, he may not have been suspicious, but in the end he still had the upper hand. If one day Li Yuanying really gave birth to a strange heart, His Majesty Li Er will definitely deal with him mercilessly. Because his Majesty Li Er was first an emperor, and then his father and brother.
His Majesty Li Er can see this more clearly than anyone else.
But before that, he wanted to be a brother first.
Changsun Wuji grabbed his hands and said, “The minister understands.”
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly and didn’t talk about this topic any more. Since he had promised Li Yuanying the piece by the sea, he would not take it back according to Changsun Wuji’s proposal. He still wants a face!
In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday banquet, and I don’t know whether Majesty Li Er intentionally or unintentionally, the number of people invited unexpectedly increased a lot than in previous years. Waiting for the most high-profile gift offering each year, everyone cheered up and praised each gift and tried to say more auspicious words.
Li Yuanying’s gift was ranked last in the clan, and the reason was the most readily available: he ranked last.
The other brothers have not arrived, but the gifts have arrived, nothing new. All the people present were so poor that it was Li Yuanying’s turn.
Li Yuanying is dressed in formal clothes today, looking at the birthday star than the birthday star. A few months ago, Li Yuanying was blamed with a rod. Everyone regretted that he might not have the chance to see the shining little prince again.
His gift is also very eye-catching.
He asked people to carry two large boxes of gold and silver into the main hall!
When everyone saw it, they felt speechless. Knowing that your kid can make money and have money, but you can’t send gold and silver directly! Cheesy!
Faced with the contempt of everyone, Li Yuanying was calm. He stepped forward to congratulate His Majesty Li Er, to the effect that the entire Datang River and mountains belonged to the emperor brother. No matter what he presented as a birthday gift, he was generous and generous, and it was inappropriate. So he specifically asked people to cross the ocean to find a suitable birthday gift in a foreign country. He didn’t expect to find a gold and silver mine after searching, so he hurriedly dug a boat back.
These two boxes of gold and silver are not all, they are just samples, and more are waiting to be moved into your warehouse.
Li Yuanying also said sincerely: “I hope that the emperor’s longevity will extend and the longevity will be in harmony with the sky. When the Datang sea ships travel all over the world in the future, the emperor will be able to sit on the treasures of the world!”
Rao is Changsun Wuji and the others already know that Li Yuanying wants to donate gold and silver to create a “Treasure Island all over the world”, or was surprised by Li Yuanying’s rhetoric. According to Li Yuanying’s statement, the birthday gifts prepared by these people are generous, and there is no sincerity at all! If you want to be sincere, you have to look overseas like him, and look for places that don’t belong to Datang!
This kid is still shameless!
He is too shameless for Daxing Shipping!
Li Yuanying didn’t feel shameless at all, neither did His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er thinks that his younger brother knows himself best. He just said to Changsun Wuji that he wanted to forge ahead, so Li Yuanying said such words, which really made him happy. His Majesty Li Er held his palms and laughed, and directly let Li Yuanying sit down to her head. He was very satisfied with the birthday gift and the congratulatory message that Li Yuanying sent.
Li Yuanying ran to the position closest to His Majesty Li Er, and happily greeted Prince Li Chengqian and Emperor Li Xiang on the opposite side.
Li Chengqian had nothing to do with this young uncle, so he could only smile at him.
Li Xiang was still young, and was brought lively by Li Yuanying. He also winked at Li Yuanying, and he was excited by what Li Yuanying said. He wanted to go out to sea with Li Yuanying and personally collect some overseas treasures for the emperor’s grandfather.
After watching the courtiers start offering gifts, Li Xiang still slipped quietly from Li Chengqian to Li Yuanying, and the two little ones murmured together.
His Majesty Li Er caught a glimpse of their little actions, but today he was in a good mood and didn’t care about Li Xiang’s little mischief. This emperor’s grandson was smart and smart, and he liked it very much. He could still condone this little thing.
A birthday banquet ended smoothly, and everyone left in twos and threes. The most familiar people talked about together was naturally the “Treasure Island” mentioned by Li Yuanying.
No one is a fool. Naturally, it is impossible for Li Yuanying to rush to send people to sea because of what Li Yuanying said. Some people decide to find out how much gold and silver Li Yuanying got back, and some people are directly skeptical. Of course, there are still a group of people present who are not short of money and lack of opportunities. They figured out their favor and felt that Li Er very much agrees with Li Yuanying’s ideas. If they use actions to show their support, Li Er might give them a chance. Order!
Everyone has their own thoughts, but most of them are ready to invest some money, the difference is only in the amount. After all, if everyone will come up with birthday gifts from the Gentiles next year, and only oneself is still “generously generous”, it would be terrible. Those who are officials in the DPRK are not afraid of not performing outstandingly, but they are afraid of being a step behind and being suspected by the superiors.
Li Yuanying ate some wine at the birthday banquet, her face flushed slightly, but he couldn’t read his face when he drank, and she was still sober. He actively sent the elderly Wei Zheng back to his residence and asked Wei Zheng for a while.
Even though Wei Zheng’s heart is as hard as iron, Li Yuanying always blows his beard and stares at him with anger, and he loses his temper by Li Yuanying’s hard work. The old and the young sat down to talk, Wei Shu took the initiative to help them make tea, and by the way, secretly listened to what they were talking about.
Wei Zheng disagrees with Li Yuanying’s propaganda of shipping by Li Er’s birthday banquet. Datang currently has a small population and cannot withstand maritime losses. Rather than making great efforts in shipping, it is better to manage the current situation well.
He twisted his eyebrows to analyze the shortcomings of Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying has another opinion: “The only thing that can grow in the soil is just that. I have been asking people to collect rice seeds from various places for hybridization, improve the yield and quality of rice, and find ways to fertilize the land. If there is a future The amount of grain grown in acres of land has doubled or doubled as much as it is today. Does that mean that only a portion of the people can grow the land to feed everyone?”
Wei Zhengdao: “But you haven’t done it yet.”
Li Yuanying said: “It can always be done in ten years, but twenty years.” He is still young, so he doesn’t think twenty years is a long time. Li Yuanying’s eyes gleamed, “At the same time, we can fill the treasury with unowned treasures overseas, and support the people of Tang Dynasty from unowned land overseas. With the surplus, the court can promote education and strengthen the military. If someone overseas is oppressed If it’s hard to survive, we can bring them back, cultivate the land for them, let them eat and wear warmth, and receive education in the Tang Dynasty. If some of them want to return to their homeland, we will send them back and let them promote the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty. Good, when someone encounters difficulties, they will take the initiative to ask for help like our Datang, and the emperor will also become a real Tian Khan!”
Wei Zheng calmed down.
If these words are spoken by others, Wei Zhenghui thinks the other party is bragging, but Li Yuanying is different.
Li Yuanying has already done these things, whether he is dealing with Tubo or Goryeo Shilla, Li Yuanying has done so.
From the beginning, his gaze was not confined to the corner of Datang.
He was born in the royal family since he was a child, and was very close to the two emperors, knowing both the seductive and terrifying power of power. Therefore, Li Yuanying did not have too much contact with any courtiers, never intervened in the affairs of the court, even if he was his prospective grandson-in-law, Li Yuanying rarely listened to the news from him, let alone ask him to do something.
As for the friendship with Li Jing, it was also like-minded contacts. Obviously, there would be no mention of military affairs. Even if it was mentioned, Li Jing is now in the state of disarming and returning to the field, which is of no use.
He didn’t have any contacts in the court, and his recklessness was entirely dependent on the connivance of His Majesty Li Er.
If one day, His Majesty Li Er withdrew his tolerance, he would really be isolated and helpless in the DPRK.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yuanying can avoid suspicion again and again, so that His Majesty Li Er can rest assured that he can do what he wants to do.
Is this situation like Li Yuanying intentionally?
Wei Zheng had no problem with this issue, nor did Li Yuanying say. The two sat down for tea and sobered up.
It’s getting late, Li Yuanying should go back to his residence.
Wei Shu sent him out and tied his cloak with his own hands.
Li Yuanying took the opportunity to hold her hand and gently kissed her on the forehead under the shadow of the night. He was afraid that Wei Shu would react and would hit her, so he quickly ran off after a quick touch.
Wei Shu stood under the eaves and watched Li Yuanying run away, the roots of his ears were slightly reddish, until Li Yuanying’s figure disappeared before he looked back.
The person she likes is the best and the cutest person in the world. She hopes that he will be happy all his life and never worry.
