Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 189
The merchants’ news has always been well-informed, and Li Yuanying did not hide what they did in Huxian at the beginning. Even if they don’t mention that far away, the largest seaport in Henan Province is now being built under their noses.
In addition to the dividends that have not yet been obtained, those of them who hold the Oriental Pearl No. 1 ticket are also eligible to book a new type of sea-going vessel in advance. If it were not for Li Yuanying to say that it is important to be cautious, they would have started a trial for a year. After all, I don’t know what they brought back from outside, but Li Yuanying paid a lot of money to repair and expand the official road to Chang’an without blinking, knowing that there is a lot of money!
The news is more informed. It is already known why a group of new faces flooding Henan Province recently came: I heard that there is a “Treasure Island” on the opposite bank, and Li Yuanying’s fleet will directly transport back a ship of gold and silver after it has passed!
This statement is really fascinating, let alone sailing for three or five days, and it’s not far, it doesn’t hurt to try it. Moreover, King Teng is sincere, they want to book sea ships. King Teng also persuaded them that there are risks in sailing at sea and there are profits and losses in overseas trade. Everyone should proceed with caution.
If Li Yuanying urged them to go to sea, they would be very hesitant, afraid of this and that, now Li Yuanying has clearly told them the danger, but they are determined to go: Who knows if Li Yuanying is afraid that they will rob them of their exclusive overseas treasures Don’t let them go? You have to give it a try first, and it doesn’t cost much for one ship and one person!
As the one-year period is approaching, everyone’s money and people are ready.
In this section, Li Yuanying proposed a new plan. Everyone felt that “this guy is here to kill us again”, but he was very sincere in action, and they actively wrote down the amount they used to vote.
Some people in the same county put together and added the total, and found that the money paid by each family was enough to make roads in the county extend in all directions! The manpower may not be enough. If every county starts construction at the same time, it will definitely not work. No wonder Li Yuanying has to select three counties first.
No matter how good Li Yuanying said, it always hurts to spend so much money. Sitting together in a county, villagers and elders felt that they had cut more meat in the past two years than they had in the past ten years, but they were willing to pay for the money, and they were even curious about what new name Li Yuanying could think of next time.
Someone stroked his beard and said, “The behavior of King Teng’s palace is different from that of others.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Many things Li Yuanying did seem to be playful, but if you look back carefully, every step he takes is very useful, I don’t know if it is coincidence or intention.
Anyway, Li Yuanying hasn’t suffered a loss after coming to Tengzhou for so long.
Last year, Li Yuanying was arrested by His Majesty Li Er and returned. They were also worried about whether there would be changes in Tengzhou and whether the money they invested in the seaport would be lost. As a result, Li Yuanying not only returned with a cart of babies after the year, but then gifts from all parties followed. His Majesty Li Er also gave Li Yuanying three coins to allow him to make money by himself.
Therefore, following Li Yuanying has a future!
Everyone in Tengzhou recognized this idea, and after inquiring about other people’s bids, they all deliberately added 10%, very bold and generous.
People from neighboring states heard about the new developments in Tengzhou. Some people were envious, while others felt that the wealthy and powerful people in Tengzhou were all stunned. Isn’t it just forging a few coins printed on their hometown? Isn’t it just a few thin stamps? What’s so strange, look at them to get the money out of the hook!
Before long, someone came to Tengzhou to lobby Li Yuanying: You see that the neighboring state is not far away, and there are also good mountains and rivers. How about adding the neighboring state to the candidate range? I can’t catch up this year. You can join again next year. During this year, you can come to our side to experience the mountains and rivers. We provide free board and lodging and free chat and play.
Li Yuanying did not immediately agree, but said that he must first ask his emperor brother for this matter. Of course, if your side happens to be on the route to the harbour, you can consider resting at your place for two days.
The two parties initially reached an agreement that the wealthy and wealthy families in Tengzhou quit. Their competition in the state has been so fierce. How about joining the powerful guys outside? For a while, this county and neighboring counties, this state and neighboring states are in a state of mutual competition. The way to compete is that everyone further increases their weight on the bidding documents for voting for Qian Fan.
People were dumbfounded by this.
Isn’t it the pattern on the money? Is it necessary to spend so much money! These people can buy all those thousands of “Tengzhou money” with all the money they paid home, right?
Naturally, these miracles were passed on by word of mouth, as the merchants moved all the way back to Chang’an.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er had received Li Yuanying’s letter. Li Yuanying seemed to be suffocated, swearing several pages of paper, and finally said, “Cheng Qian said to support me, although you are not good to me, but you I gave birth to a good son who treated me well! If he hadn’t encouraged me to scold me if I wanted to, I hadn’t thought I could write to you and scold you.”
His Majesty Li Er was very happy when he saw Li Yuanying’s letter, but when he saw that his nose was crooked, he called Li Chengqian to the front.
Only then did Li Chengqian know that his uncle had sold him, and he asked Li Yuanying to scold Guo Duke Xun, and Li Yuanying actually said that he made him scold Li Er!
With such an uncle, what can Li Chengqian do, he can only come forward to ask for the crime and explain: “The son is referring to the father of Xun Guo, I didn’t expect that the uncle did not understand it wrong.” He is not living impatiently, how can he encourage Li Yuanying Write a letter to scold your Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er also knew that Li Yuanying’s words were unreliable, so he didn’t really put his hat on Li Chengqian, and only asked Li Chengqian to pay attention to the news from Luoyang.
Li Yuanying said that he sent Dai Ting to Luoyang, and there was no movement at the moment. His Majesty Li Er felt that something was going to happen.
Li Chengqian heard his Majesty Li Er let himself stare, and immediately understood that his Majesty Li Er’s heart was biased towards Li Yuanying, and his heart was set, saying that he would follow up. After he was driven away by His Majesty Li Er, he was immediately sent to let him see the mansion papers from Luoyang, and then he found a few people who frequent Luoyang to talk to the East Palace, and they acted quite neatly.
In fact, His Majesty Li Er not only asked Li Chengqian to pay attention to this matter, but also called others to report on Luoyang’s current situation in time after Li Chengqian was sent away.
Luoyang is the gateway to Chang’an. If that Dai Ting treats Luoyang as a Korean country to stir up the situation, he will never let such a person stay with Li Yuanying again.
His Majesty Li Er reopened Li Yuanying’s letter, read the two paragraphs Li Yuanying mentioned Dai Ting again, threw the letter aside, and rubbed his forehead against the pedestal.
This kid can be soft but not only because Cheng Qian supported him, but also because he wanted to protect Dai Ting.
His younger brother looked carefree, but he was actually very clever. He also took a bite of “I sent Dai Ting”, vowing to promise that Luoyang will never be disturbed, but can this kid really restrain the eagle dog under his hands?
There was no news from Luoyang, but an anecdote from Tengzhou came first.
When they heard the people in Tengzhou scrambling to pay for the bridge and paving, Changsun Wuji and others looked dumb, and they no longer felt strange to such “anecdotes”. After all, Li Yuanying had already searched for the White Wolf to come to a Cuiwei Palace a few years ago, and now they are still staying in the Cuiwei Palace to escape the heat!
Li Yuanying’s “Tengzhou Money” only cast a total of 9,000 pieces, which also made Changsun Wuji and others relieved that even if this little money flows into the hands of the people, it will not cause any trouble. Moreover, looking at this momentum, ordinary people are afraid that they can’t buy it if they want to buy it, and they are reluctant to use it for external use when they buy it!
Since Li Yuanying is so measured, Changsun Wuji put his heart at ease, and generously praised Li Yuanying in front of Li Er, saying that he could come up with this method is really clever and astute, and it is worthwhile for Li Er to bring him by his side and teach him this way. for many years.
His Majesty Li Er met the young man of Changsun Wuji, and he understood Changsun Wuji’s temper very well. His uncle has always paid attention to being kind to others. I felt that Li Yuanying was threatening, and Grandson Wuji came to persuade him. At this moment, I felt that Li Yuanying was not threatening, so he came to praise Li Yuanying and said that he taught well!
But I have to say that Changsun Wuji scratched the itchy place of His Majesty Li Er. He inevitably talked to Changsun Wuji about Li Yuanying’s letter: “This kid doesn’t think so. He wrote me a letter recently. Saying I don’t love him anymore, it’s not good for him!”
Changsun Wuji: “…”
Come on, here again.
Changsun Wuji pinched his nose to talk to him, and His Majesty Li Er showed him Li Yuanying’s letter back and forth, saying that this kid was impeccable and lawless.
If Changsun Wuji should say “right, right, right” at this time, it would be too stupid, and His Majesty Li Er will definitely turn his face. So Changsun Wuji said wittily: “If he didn’t treat his Majesty as his elder brother who loves him most, how could His Highness King Teng dare to speak to His Majesty like this?”
His Majesty Li Er was satisfied, and said helplessly, “I really can’t do anything with him.”
Changsun Wuji got up and retire.
Changsun Wuji met Fang Xuanling when he went out. Fang Xuanling asked him, “What’s the matter? But what’s the problem?”
Changsun Wuji shook his head: “It’s okay,” he said faintly, “It was His Majesty King Teng who wrote a letter to His Majesty.”
Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, looked at the memo in her hand, and felt that the things inside were not so urgent.
He turned around decisively and walked back with Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji asked, “Didn’t you have something to ask to see your Majesty?”
Fang Xuanling said, “Not anymore.”
Changsun Wuji: “…”
These two brothers are really good, they make people worry when they are bad, and they make people worry when they are good.
Compared with the peace in Chang’an, Luoyang has not been peaceful recently.
This injustice is not for the people of Luoyang, but for Zhang Liang, Lord Xun Guo.
The common people have a lively life every day, and even feel that there are more merchants coming and going than before. They can see a lot of fresh performances every day, and they can buy all kinds of goods from all over the world every day.
Where ordinary people can’t notice, it is raging everywhere.
Some of the sons of Xun Guo Gong Zhang Liang’s sons were in the army, and some were in business to provide for the Xun Guo Gong Mansion. These people have recently discovered that as long as their businesses have plummeted, the reason is either that competitors have come up with new recipes or competitors have slashed prices, attracting all customers. They can’t compare to people in Bixinqiao, and they are also inferior to people in price wars, don’t they just plummet?
If this kind of injustice is only related to money, then another matter is related to life: as long as the people of Xun Guo Gongfu go out-including Xun Guo Gong himself, they will encounter small accidents, such as walking on the road. The flowerpot suddenly smashed in front of you, such as the latrine crossbar suddenly disconnected, such as the hound who was feeding suddenly foaming and poisoning in front of him.
One time can be said to be a coincidence, but it is a bit scary day after day, the people at Xunguo Gong’s Mansion are afraid to go out for a while.
The Lord Xun Guo flew into a rage and asked people to conduct a thorough investigation, but did not find out why. The people below came to the same conclusion: This is all an accident!
Shit accident!
Xun Guogong had a smooth journey. He had never suffered this kind of frustration. Hearing people’s reports said that all the industries underneath were suppressed so quickly that they could not continue to operate, he was even more certain that someone was targeting him. He doesn’t have many enemies with others, and there is only one person who has had an enemy with him recently: Li Yuanying.
Recently, Li always cried and cried in front of him, saying that her brother was gone and the Li family was also defeated. When Li Yuanying was not born when he followed His Majesty Li Er to fight the world, why would he be able to enjoy the glory and wealth and be born above them? Is it because he will be reborn!
Xun Guogong originally thought that Li’s brother had acted recklessly, but after Li’s crying every day, he also felt a little unwilling. Li Yuanying hasn’t built an inch, how can he be above their heads?
These things must have been Li Yuanying’s handwriting recently. Maybe Li Er’s Majesty let him off in secret, and pushed him secretly! Hou Junji was right. His Majesty Li Er may not be able to tolerate them, such meritorious officials!
Xun Guo’s eyes were deep.
He did not act rashly, nor did he go to Li’s side again. Instead, he summoned his favorite sorcerer to talk about the heavens and the earth, as if nothing had happened.
These warlocks are familiar with Lord Xun, and get along fairly casually with Lord Xun, drinking and chatting. One of the wines reached the heart, and he took out Zhang Mitu to estimate the future trend for Lord Xun. After the calculation, he looked shocked and surprised.
Xunguo said strangely: “What’s the matter?”
The warlock said: “The surname of Lord Guo has the power of Tamron!”
What this means is that the future world should have the surname Zhang!
There was a stir in Xun Guo Gong’s heart, but he didn’t show it on his face, just asking people not to spread this out. This is a capital crime to beheaded!
After sending off the warlocks, Lord Xun laughed, his gloomy eyes revealed a bit of fierce light.
The surname Li was also taken from the Yang family. Why couldn’t the surname be Zhang that day?
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: We didn’t do anything, we just scared him!
