In the entire Renzhi Palace, except for the five palaces, the other large and small buildings are basically made of red bricks. The first thing Qi Laosan took over that day was naturally to build a mansion for Li Shan... Well, At least in Renzhi Palace, compared with those hundreds of officials, it is already a luxury house.
Although they only entered and exited in two directions, everyone else entered and exited in one. Li Shan held a child in one hand and wandered back to his residence along the cobblestone path, attracting many people's attention, and he was followed by others. A palace servant serving King Xu Li Yuanjia.
Children like to follow Li Shan, not because Li Shan is friendly, but because Li Shan doesn't care about them... A prince, a princess's eldest son, both have noble status. From the time they are slightly sensible, they are taught every moment that they need to follow the rules. , need to observe etiquette and know the difference between honor and inferiority.
Li Shan, a time traveler, has different concepts from everyone else in this era. In his mind, he never feels that there is any essential difference between Li Yuan, Li Shimin and himself. Therefore, he always treats these princes and grandsons as child.
Putting two slingshots into the hands of Chai Zhewei and Li Yuanjia respectively, Li Shan waved a few palace servants to come over to serve him, so as not to accidentally hurt anyone, he turned to look at He Lou Xingshu.
"How have you been?"
"Alang reminds me of someone." He Lou Xingshu looked aggrieved, "Last month, my grandfather wrote a letter scolding me."
"You deserve it!" Li Shan laughed and said, "When I asked you that day, you chose Sinong Temple yourself!"
Speaking of He Lou Xingshu, it's really aggrieved. He was the first member of the powerful clan in Daizhou to join Li Shan's sect. So far, the main mark on him is not that he is a descendant of the Helou family in Daizhou, but that he is from the personal bodyguard of King Wei Si.
But except for Li Shan who guarded Yanmen Pass for the first time and allowed Kan Ling to defeat the enemy, He Lou Xingshu followed Wang Junhao out of the station, but after that he took care of Ma Yin's affairs in Xia City and did not participate in several battles.
And Li Shan led the army to the expedition last year, but He Lou Xingshu had already transferred to Sinong Temple, and he passed by him perfectly. How could he not feel aggrieved?
The most important thing is that Li Shan returned to Beijing the year before last and recommended more than a dozen children from the Daizhou powerful clan to serve as officials. Most of them were placed in the Beiya Forbidden Army. They all followed him on the expedition last year... He Lou Xingshu felt very relieved.
"Alang, my grandfather wrote a letter saying that if he were at Sinong Temple..." He Lou Xingshu said cautiously: "Why don't you resign..."
"Resign?" Li Shan pointed at the man's nose and scolded with a smile, "Come back and be a personal guard next to Gu?"
"As long as Alang allows it." He Lou Xingshu knew it well. Now he still lives in Sun Moon Lake and still calls Li Shan "Alang". His identity as a member of the Li family cannot be eliminated.
However, Li Shan didn't pay much attention to Sinong Temple and rarely even went to the Yamen to attend to matters. Instead of being a minor official in Sinong Temple, He Lou Xingshu might as well return to the Guards.
Although it is said that it is now difficult for Alang to lead the army in battle like Prince Zhao, but He Lou Xingshu was able to make great achievements following the generals such as Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao, who were also born as personal guards.
However, Li Shan had a purpose when he specially placed He Louxingshu in Sinong Temple. Although he was ignorant, he was sure that there was something wrong with Sinong Temple, and this line has been connected to King Qi.
After chatting casually for a while, Li Shancai got down to business, "Qi Sanlang started the kiln and fired bricks. The Qianniu Guards and other tribes outside were all going to build houses. It is estimated that they mobilized civilians from Fangzhou, and maybe soldiers as well. Take action."
"You can tell me later to prepare more food for the soldiers outside..."
He Lou Xingshu was Li Shan's disciple, and the latter was Sinong Qing. It was only natural that he should give orders, and this kind of food allocation was also presided over by the subordinate officials under Sinong Temple.
"Alang..." He Lou Xingshu hesitated, took a few steps closer, and whispered: "Remember last month...the two young ministers were a little worried?"
Li Shan nodded calmly, "What?"
"It seems that there is a problem with Fangzhou Yijun's granary." He Lou Xingshu spoke in a lower voice, "Since the day before yesterday, the grain and grass reserves have been insufficient."
"Insufficient food and grass?" Li Shan looked a little surprised, "What happened?"
"I don't know." He Lou Xingshu thought for a while and looked at the granary placed on the east side of Phoenix Valley from a distance, "Now there is only three days' worth of food."
Li Shan smiled casually and said, "Forget it... wait until Yijun County sends more food and grass."
He Lou Xingshu responded and said doubtfully: "I don't know what the problem is in Yijun County. Judging from Yuwen Shaoqing's appearance, it doesn't look like it's a good thing."
"This is in Fangzhou, Guanzhong, not far from Jingzhao. His Majesty, King Qin, is here. How can we let all the officials go hungry?"
"That's what Alang said." He Lou Xingshu said hehely: "When the food and grass are delivered, other people will not mention it. Alang's bodyguard will definitely be full."
Since the time of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty, large-scale granaries have been built in the imperial court. The more famous ones include Xingluo granary, Huiluo granary, Changping granary, Liyang granary, Guangtong granary, Heyang granary and Changping granary.
Six of the seven major granaries were located near Luoyang, which was also a major reason for the rise of Wagang Village. Zhai Rang took Liyang Granary and Li Mi attacked Xingluo Granary and prospered.
The only granary built in the pass was Guangtong Cang. Later, it was renamed Yongfeng Cang during the Daye Period and was established at the mouth of Guangtong Canal in Huayin County, Huazhou. This was obviously for military purposes, because Huayin County was halfway from Hedong to the pass. Fengling Ferry, the most important ferry, is not far away, as is Tongguan, the most important pass in the Central Plains.
At that time, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and later Li Yuan raised troops. The first thing he did when entering Guanzhong was to capture Yongfengcang in Huazhou... At that time, the magistrate of Huayin County happened to be Li Xiaochang, Li Yuan's nephew. He raised Yongfengcang to welcome the Tang army, so that Li Yuan could smoothly replenish Grain and grass, invade Chang'an.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China by Li Yuan, Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai, Bashu, and the Central Plains were in a mess, and Li Tang's life in the pass was not easy. He was threatened by Liu Wuzhou, Li Gui, Liang Shidu, and the Xue family father and son. , and the Turks came to blow the autumn wind from time to time, so Li Yuan ordered to build another granary in Yijun County, Fangzhou.
The reason why we chose Fangzhou is that it is suitable for both north and south and has convenient transportation.
In other words, Li Yuan now takes hundreds of officials, concubines, palace people, and more than a thousand Qianniu guards, with a total number of about 1,780. The food and grass supply for these people should be provided by Fangzhou Yijun Supplied by the county granary.
The Guanzhong Granary is under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple... Not only this place, but also Yongfeng Granary and Taiyuan Granary in Hedong are under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple.
Li Shan sent He Lou Xingshu away and sat on the bench at the door, lost in thought. What did King Qi and Feng Lun want to do?
What role did Du Yan play in it?
You can’t just want Li Yuan and Li Shimin to starve to death in Phoenix Valley, right?
Li Yuan is not King Zhao Wuling, and Phoenix Valley is not a sand palace.
If food and grass are not available, there will be less than 2,000 people. Thirty miles to the northeast is Yijun County, and thirty miles to the southwest is Jingzhao. Tongguan County, which belongs to Jingzhao, is only twenty miles away from the border county. Just a few miles.
Li Yuan gave a casual order, and the county magistrate could deliver food the next day.
Although he felt a little baffled, Li Shan was very vigilant. He believed that even if Li Yuanji was an out-and-out fool, Feng Lun was definitely not.
There must be a backup plan.
So, Li Shan made up his mind again and waved for Fan Shiyi to come forward.
"let's start."
"yes."
