Li Xiaotong had made arrangements for the government office in Xicheng in advance so that his little brother could not be dissatisfied when he went to work for the first time. However, he still underestimated Li Yuanying's temper.
"Is this a place where people live?" As soon as Li Yuanying got out of the car and saw the door of the government office and the subordinate officials waiting outside, he looked at Li Xiaotong who had already gotten out of the car with displeasure and asked with a sneer. "I wonder where Brother Xiaotong lives?"
Li Xiaotong crossed his arms and saluted, and said: "Back to the governor, the Biejia Mansion is on the street to the south, and the area is only half of the one here."
"Brother has a good temper, but that doesn't mean I have to endure such cramped conditions." Li Yuanying looked around and said with disgust. "Mr. Gongsun, please call Du You and Yan Zhen to come quickly and find a new location to build the palace. This place will be demolished and can only be used by merchants to build workshops."
Jinzhou Prefecture official: "..."
The government office was changed to a city? Governor, if you have done something so strange and strange, I am not afraid that His Majesty will directly recall you to Chang'an... Perhaps, this is the real purpose of King Teng?
"First, let someone dismantle the gate. Even cars can't get in. What's the use of this gate?" Li Yuanying said angrily, holding the jade belt around his waist with his right hand, putting his left hand behind his back, and kicked the threshold. "Are you trying to block thieves or me? Destroy it!"
Li Xiaotong: "..."
Aren't you afraid of receiving countless remonstrances from His Majesty? Today, these people are not only state officials, but also inspection censors and supervisory censors!
"Wei." Li Jing, a senior official, responded softly. Some of the bridesmaids quickly removed the gates and thresholds, while others returned to the car, took out hammers and axes, smashed the walls and chopped down trees.
Jinzhou Prefecture official: "..."
No, the reception feast has not yet been held, and you are tearing down doors, smashing walls and cutting down trees. This... this is too much!
Li Xiaotong followed Li Yuanying and persuaded softly: "Brother, the government can change things slowly. Don't rush it. Shouldn't you recognize the subordinate officials first? They are the ones who really do things."
Regardless of whether it is one year or two years, without these subordinate officials, how can we maintain the country? Even if His Majesty does not expect you to achieve political achievements, he does not expect you to disrupt the place.
"As long as they make arrangements with brother Xiao," Li Yuanying said nonchalantly. Flower growers have been around since the Han Dynasty. Officials in the early dynasty were still diligent in their work, the court spent more time with the people, and taxes were reasonable. What needs to be done is to support the country's basic market by only providing products from the land to the people, and taxes from overseas trade, market transactions and manufacturing workshops.
Relying on the support of trade, the Southern Song Dynasty was able to survive the Nine Emperors and enjoy the country for 152 years. As long as someone builds a scientific and engineering framework, the Tang Dynasty can sustain at least three hundred more years than before, and it will gradually lose its credibility as a world watcher like the lighthouse country of later generations... Maybe there will be new changes in the Tang Dynasty by then.
Anyway, I can't see it, so it's enough to do the things in front of me to prevent that Saburo from triggering the Anshi Rebellion just to watch Yang Xiaopang dance again. Why didn't the boy who sang the goose succeed in helping Yangzhou's governor to rebel? Because the people live and work in peace and contentment, the fundamentals are very stable. People who grow flowers are very pragmatic. As long as they have a small amount of money in their hands and their wives and children have food to eat, no one will think of falling into trouble.
Why does Jiyu want to be recruited so much? Because he knew that there was no way out for rebellion, the strength of the group of people under him was far inferior to that of the Wagang group of tycoons, and the Wagang group of tycoons ended up surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. Or in other words, starting from Chen Honghu who directed The Fox in the late Qin Dynasty, to the dead General Tiangong, to the Qing Emperor with golden armor all over the city, to the general who was willing to plant flowers for Chen Yuanyuan, and finally to the capital of Jinling , King Hong Tian, who was confronting Braid, rebelled one after another, and the sects changed a lot, but no one could successfully hold the world.
"It's a waste of time to give those eucalyptus slips to someone to read. They know someone, but someone doesn't know them."
Li Xiaotong had a toothache. Even if your Majesty sent someone from a Shandong family, he would be better than this one! Frowning and grimacing, he continued to persuade: "Can the mansion be renovated a few days later? The subordinate officials can be easily dispatched. I can arrange more affairs to keep them busy, so I don't have time to write the impeachment memorial. But those censors , I really can’t help it!”
My uncle wrote to me that my younger brother had written the Inscription of the Humble House and the Sound Rhythm of Tangli, and later the Donkey of Guizhou. I thought he would be better than Old Fifteen and Old Twenty, but now it seems that he is even better!
...are those articles ghostwritten by others?
"Brother, don't pay attention to them. If they hadn't kept barking, I could have stayed in Chang'an for a few more days." Li Yuanying looked at the yard in front of him, it was simply vulgar and unsightly! Pointing at the withered flowers on the pillars, he said angrily. "Are these all carved by a three-year-old child? A certain person, the governor of a state, has to endure such humiliation! I will tear them all apart!"
Li Xiaotong: "..."
Can a three-year-old child carve? Also, how could it be elevated to the level of humiliating the governor? The yard where someone lives is not as exquisite with withered flowers as here. Should I find a hemp rope and kill myself?
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset, Your Majesty, please don't be anxious." Tang Jian looked at Li Yuanying who was about to jump up and yell, and wanted to say, "Stop it, stop it, your Majesty, your acting is a bit too much." He crossed his arms in a salute and explained. "The skills of the Shaofu have not been passed down yet, and the standard of the craftsmen is inferior, which is understandable. After Yan Consultation comes over, there will be improvements."
Li Xiaotong thought that Tang Jian would give some advice, but he didn't expect that he would go along with the situation... He turned his attention to Li Jing and Ouyang Xun: You two should give some advice, right?
Ouyang Xun looked at the courtyard carefully, shook his head and said, "No wonder the prince is angry, it is not as elegant as Sun Heijin's Yaolu. I miss the corridor of Tangli Garden very much. Just looking at those little peaches, I can enjoy them in a day." Not bored.”
Li Xiaotong: "..."
Ouyang Shugeng, although you are old and dazzled, and your appearance is becoming more and more... unsightly, your new character is plump and powerful, your momentum is magnificent, your bones are strong and your spirit is awe-inspiring, how can you say such flattery... sycophants? How about your old scholarly character!
"We are used to living in Prince Teng's Mansion and we really can't bear it." Li Jing sighed and suddenly thought of chili peppers. He looked at Li Yuanying and asked, "Your Majesty, is the quantity of chili pepper strips enough? If so, If you don’t bring enough, ask Du Siliang to bring some more. The accommodation is already so miserable, so we can’t afford to treat them poorly in terms of food and drink.”
Since there are hundreds of plays to be performed, let's all perform them together. Only in this way can those people turn their attention to us, and Prince Teng will have much less pressure to do things. What he wants to do will have a profound and far-reaching impact, probably no less powerful than the books and articles and cars on the same track back then.
Li Jing, why would you want to lose some fame? As for the truth and how future generations will comment, haha, I can't see it anyway, let alone hear it.
Li Xiaotong: "..."
Why did someone follow him in? Duke Wei is no longer the army commander who rode thousands of miles to kill all the enemy invaders. He is... old, addicted to pleasure, and no longer thinks about doing things for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanying raised his hand and pointed at two places casually, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun."
After Li Yuanying and others walked into the second courtyard, Gongsun Bai knocked down the places he pointed at. The corridor collapsed suddenly, stirring up countless flying dust.
When Li Xiaotong heard the sound, he turned his head and looked... Just torn it down like this? The speed is too fast. Who is Mr. Gongsun?
The subordinate officials and censors waiting outside the door saw the corridor that was instantly demolished from the opened door: "..."
Is Prince Teng... intimidating us?
Inspector Cui Sixing's face turned livid: I must impeach King Teng, I must impeach King Teng!
Li Yifu, the supervisory censor, saw Cui Sixing's face and said secretly: I heard that Inspector Cui's brother was reprimanded by his majesty for making a mistake on the day of dredging Sanmen Gorge and was sent to Guazhou to plant trees. He could not return it until three years later. Not to mention the wind and sand in Guazhou, bandits on the trade road still visit from time to time. Whether you can come back alive after three years depends entirely on luck.
...Would you like to remind Prince Teng? Maybe someone who is below the eighth level can take two steps up. It is said that the official rank of Yunhe Mansion is two levels higher than that of other yamen...
Before he could finish his thoughts, there was another burst of smoke and dust. He looked at the governor of Jin, Shi Zhisun, and asked in a low voice: "Chang Shi, do you know where this was demolished?"
Di Zhisun shook his head and said nothing. It's not that I don't know where the demolition is, but I don't want to express any opinions about King Teng. A certain person once served as a soldier in Zhengzhou and served as a soldier in Prince Zheng's palace. In the fourth year of Wude (621), King Zheng Li Yuanyi was conferred the title of King Teng. In the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), 600 households were granted real seals. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, he was granted the title of governor of Zhengzhou and crowned King Zheng...Although the new King of Teng was granted the title of king late, he actually sealed 1,200 households. Before coming to Jinzhou, he added 300 households, not to mention the current status of Tengzhou. The area is also three times the original... What does it mean to be favored by the kings? This is the real thing.
As for why so-and-so became the governor of Jin, King Zheng was also confused. The most reliable reason he could guess is that His Majesty remembered my father at some point, and with a few casual touches, so-and-so was promoted to the fifth rank, but so-and-so was only the third rank. The fifth son and the other brothers have not been promoted, which is really weird and confusing... I don't want to say anything.
Li Yifu: "..."
After everyone dispersed, I looked for another opportunity to pay homage to King Teng.
Li Xiaotong in the mansion just wanted to leave as soon as possible, because Mr. Gongsun next to my little brother had demolished the main hall to only a frame, which was cleaner than if it had been robbed by bandits!
"Brother, don't worry about someone coming to your house." Li Yuanying, who has grown three to four centimeters taller and has broken through the 1.6 meter mark, has just reached Li Xiaotong's shoulders and cannot hold his neck. He can only take two steps back and look up. Looking at him, he smiled lazily. "The Emperor's brother sent craftsmen to accompany him. He just didn't want to make too much publicity, so he didn't arrive at the same time."
Li Xiaotong looked up at the sky and looked at the disappearing second floor... He said quietly: "Uncle Yu, do you have any misunderstanding about the word Shengzhang?"
I didn't get out of the car at the city gate. When I arrived, I felt that the government office was cramped. I demolished the doors, smashed the walls, and cut down the trees. The corridors were not done well, the houses blocked the view, the pavilions were too silly in shape, and the main hall looked like a prison... This is not an exaggeration, what else? Is it a publicity?
"There are a thousand craftsmen of all kinds." Tang Jian explained kindly. The Zichuan County Duke's mental endurance was a bit weak, but he just demolished some useless houses... The residence of the Minister of Industry was half demolished, and he didn't say anything. As for the reason for demolishing the mansion, Prince Teng made a lot of sense, Hui Chang said: My brother said that Brother Fan’s mansion should be demolished, so it must be demolished. How can I disappoint my brother?
His Majesty naturally picked up a thorn stick and beat the person, acting out a scene of brotherly respect.
As for the number of craftsmen, King Teng argued hard, and his princess took so many craftsmen to friendly countries to help them achieve common prosperity. Why, as His Majesty's younger brother, was he treated less well than a foreign man? Your Majesty cannot abuse young people and must treat them equally.
After a period of joyful scenes, the negotiation reached a thousand people. Moreover, people can be replaced, but the number cannot be reduced.
Your Majesty happily agreed to Prince Teng's appointment ahead of schedule and kicked him out of Chang'an... Princess Jinyang did not have any reluctance and waved her little hands to send her favorite uncle away... If you don't leave, Your Majesty's vitex should be replaced. New!
"One thousand people!" Li Xiaotong turned around and grabbed Tang Jian's arm and asked in disbelief, "Duke Ju, you are trying to trick someone again, right?"
Tang Jian shook his head, with an upright and slightly round face, and said seriously: "There are indeed a thousand people, and they will arrive an hour later than us."
Someone is from the Tang Dynasty, and people from the Tang Dynasty never lie to people from the Tang Dynasty.
"Chuntao, when will we have lunch?" Ouyang Xun touched his abdomen with his hand, looked at Chuntao behind Li Yuanying, and said. "Once people get older, they can't stand being hungry."
Chuntao bowed to Ouyang Xunying and said with a soft smile: "Go back to Mr. Ouyang, the winter fruits and peonies have been prepared. It will be cooler today due to the hot weather."
Li Xiaotong blinked numbly and let go of Tang Jian's arm. The Duke of Ju would not lie to someone about something that could be exposed so easily. A thousand craftsmen...are you planning to build a palace? Hearing Chuntao's words, he rolled his eyes, looked at Li Yuanying and asked: "The main hall and the pavilion have been demolished, where are you going to have dinner?"
You don’t want to sit on the floor and roll up your sleeves to eat like the common people, right?
"Isn't the lake in the courtyard connected to the Han River? We took a boat and just finished lunch, so we can pack up here and stay for a few days." Li Yuanying stretched and said a little tiredly. "After running for two days, my joints are all loose."
Li Xiaotong silently dug his feet into the floor, feeling like he could dig out a mansion. Walking on a flat mysterious road, it is still bumpy... We have heavy bones and are not afraid of bumps... I wonder how Your Majesty will feel when he hears this statement? After a while, I went back to write a letter and sent it to Chang'an as quickly as possible!
Li Yuanying walked from the back door of the main hall to the backyard. The place where the woman was wrapped was still visible, but compared to the front yard. Walking along the lake to the direction of the white smoke, a three-story boat was waiting outside, and the royal family's wife was in charge of smashing the wall.
Li Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, but still followed Li Yuanying: If something happens to him in Jinzhou, I will not be able to report to His Majesty!
Ouyang Xun patted Li Xiaotong on the shoulder and whispered: "Didn't Zong Zhengqing write to you? It's so mixed and unclear. It can only be said that he has some brains, but not much."
Anyone with a clear mind would know the importance of Yunhe Mansion to the Tang Dynasty. To put it more narrowly, one should at least know the importance of royal family members. No wonder he is not as good as the Prince of Hejian County or the Prince of Jiangxia County in being an official or fighting in the war... The Xie family's treasure tree occasionally has yellow leaves, and this one obviously belongs to the yellow leaf category.
Li Xiaotong: "..."
