Fang Xuanling naturally knew Li Ji's sinister intentions. He felt the dull pain in his back. He gritted his teeth and scolded Li Ji: "The harmonious family that needs to be destroyed, go and do your work." He drove away the troublesome Li Ji. After going to work, Fang Xuanling sat down and took a rest.
The food in the cabinet was pretty good, and Fang Xuanling liked it very much. He ate one dish every day with His Majesty Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty.
What an honor this is, to have this kind of daily royal meal without having to do something disgusting.
After the Tang Dynasty conquered the grasslands, the supply of cattle and sheep in Chang'an City was extremely abundant. In the past, only wealthy families could eat meat, but now ordinary people in Chang'an City could occasionally have some.
Datang is undergoing rapid construction and development. As long as you are willing to work hard and don't do illegal things such as prostitution and gambling, you will slowly become a wealthy family.
Under the teachings of Ming Zun Shengjiao's positive teachings, the people were full of energy, and the number of people living in the slums in Chang'an City began to shrink.
Some people with money and stable jobs moved out one after another. As the Salted Fish Emperor Li Mingda, who knew the relationship between economy and housing prices, he authorized his family, Xiaobai, to acquire land in civilian areas. Demolish some dilapidated houses and build new ones.
Since steel is still a special item, Li Mingda here did not abandon the design of so-called reinforced concrete apartment buildings or small villas like those similar projects in the past. Instead, brick and tile houses were chosen for construction. Most of the workers were hired from nearby areas, which could also bring some benefits to the people in the area.
In terms of price, Li Mingda and Murong Xue are not profit-seeking people. The funds provided are sufficient so that they can buy some delicious food for themselves. If they have any illness, they can also have money to go to the doctor and get medicine.
This kind of non-profit approach made some aristocratic families and businessmen look at the construction site, which was full of excitement, and they were all excited.
It was true that there were benefits, but because of the wages Murong Xue gave and the big pancakes and big pot dishes on the food, she immediately chose to give up.
This kind of cost is too high and does not meet their expectations. More importantly, no matter whether they consider finance, ability or status, none of them have the qualifications and ability to compete with Murong Xue.
As for businessmen, there will always be smart people who find business opportunities. For example, workers who have received their wages will purchase some food, clothes, cloth and other items that are better than before to go home. Some single men will gather together to drink. Poor quality drinks.
Some people set up stalls nearby, and some small merchants also set up their shops, set up a few tables, and provided some food, drinks, etc.
As a result, the area around the construction site gradually became lively. After Li Mingda learned about this situation, he asked the responsible government office in Chang'an City to let these vendors set up stalls at a certain location without affecting the construction. As for the so-called stall fees, management fees, taxes, etc., they are all turned into wages and distributed to the workers.
This money is nothing in the eyes of Li Mingda and Murong Xue, but it is different in the eyes of ordinary people. It is not a lot if it is scattered, but it is not a small amount when it is collected. It can be regarded as invigorating the local economy.
Li Mingda's behavior was naturally praised by the people as a benevolent king. Some scholars also wrote poems to praise him, and some believers went to Mingzun Holy Sect to donate money.
Li Mingda has requirements for Mingzun Holy Religion's donation anyway, and does not allow large amounts of donations. The amount of money donated by each person is also limited, and there will be no bankruptcies due to certain beliefs.
For lunch, Yu Study Room rarely makes noodles. It’s not that Li Mingda and the others don’t like to eat them, but because they eat too much and it seems a bit troublesome.
The supply of chili peppers was limited, so things like spicy biangbiang noodles were naturally served on the table. Murong Xue came back from her daily inspection of Chang'an City and had a bowl of hot biangbiang noodles, which was delicious.
The braised noodles at Li Mingda are absolutely top-notch, including ginseng chicken soup, abalone and seafood chowder, chicken, duck, beef and sheep. Anyone can choose what flavor they want, but the quantity of individual stews is limited.
Murong Xue's habit was to compete with Wu Jue for food, so the competition between the two was particularly fierce as long as Wu Jue liked him.
Needless to say, the scene of two beautiful girls fighting for food was Li Mingda holding a Pipi shrimp in his mouth, pulling noodles and watching the two fighting for it.
There is good food and beautiful women to look at, so at least eat an extra bowl.
In the end, Wu Jue still couldn't compete with Murong Xue, and Murong Xue didn't bully her too much. She only took a few chopsticks and stopped. She knew that the long and steady flow of water was the way to go.
Li Mingda's family is similar to the standard animal group in the animal world. As the leader, he is only responsible for the security work surrounding them. The rest of the family disputes, unless they go too far, are the fight for the position of the emperor's concubine. They go make trouble on their own.
After lunch, a lunch break was necessary, and Li Mingda slept for more than an hour.
open your eyes
get up
Liuli, who knew Li Mingda's habits, came over early and handed Li Mingda a teapot, which contained cold tea. After eating so much meat for a long time, he needed tea to clear his stomach. Li Mingda's iron-like stomach was better than nothing.
The emperor's daily life was simple and unpretentious. He did not ask the maids around him to help. He grabbed some water from the gold-encrusted basin, splashed his face casually twice, and then wiped his face with a towel with yellow gold threads.
He came to his recliner, took out some tea leaves from his tea jar, and threw them into his purple clay pot. Pour in filtered mountain spring water and heat it in a small charcoal stove.
After placing the tea sets, Li Mingda ordered Liuli: "Xiao Liuli, go and hand over Fang Xuanling."
"promise"
The obedient Liuli turned around and went downstairs. Li Mingda looked at Liuli's back and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
After staying in the cabinet for so long, Fang Xuanling also knew Li Mingda's living habits. He said that after lunch, he would definitely not look for him until after a nap.
After having a meal of seafood noodles, Fang Xuanling also took a short rest.
"Master Fang, your Majesty has summoned you."
"Please ask Miss Liuli to lead the way."
Fang Xuanling was prepared and immediately got up and followed Liuli to the third floor. Knowing that Li Ji and Li Jing were going out to lead troops, Fang Xuanling did not ask Liuli for anything.
After going upstairs and downstairs, Liuli led Fang Xuanling there in three to five minutes.
"Sit down, drink some tea and chat slowly"
"promise"
Fang Xuanling was not polite, packed up his loose official uniform, and sat down opposite Li Mingda skillfully.
"You know that Li Jing and Li Ji are going to the south to lead the army, right?"
"I already know"
"When you go back later, prepare the necessary documents and tell them that they will take office immediately after the handover is completed within three days. As for the manpower to replace them, I will bring it to you in two days. Lao Fang, do you have any questions?"
