Li Zhi left, and he took away all the Gelidium that Dong Gong had finally collected.
No matter what, one person can't finish all these Gelili plants, and it is possible to eat them as meals. However, this cannot be said.
After sending Li Zhi away, Li Xian had no choice but to immediately order the eunuch who had passed through the East China Sea to make another trip as soon as possible to purchase some Gelidium.
Of course, it wasn't just Gelidium. This time, Li Xian asked him to buy more other things.
Things like kelp and seaweed are naturally essential.
The saint left, and Henry Zhang naturally wanted to accompany him.
However, before leaving, Henry Zhang left a sentence, which gave Li Xian a headache.
It turned out that not only the Japanese people came early, but also the Tubo people came to the Tang Dynasty earlier than scheduled.
According to the reply from the courier, the Tubo people did not go to places like Songzhou and Yazhou. Instead, they entered the country from Yaozhou as if they had a seizure. They disguised themselves as traders selling furs and went all the way north until they were randomly inspected by the government officials in Hezhou and found that they were carrying A large amount of property, and then his identity was exposed.
No matter how abnormal things are, there must be a reason why they happen.
After inspecting the route of the Tubo people, Li Xian was surprised to find that they did not go straight north, but visited Rongzhou, Jiazhou, and Yizhou.
The location of these states is on the Tubo border and inward from Yazhou and Songzhou, which border the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of such behavior is too obvious!
Apparently, the leader of this envoy team had even considered the idea of friction or even attack against Datang. He even had the confidence to defeat the defenders of Songzhou Yazhou and lead the army straight in.
Once upon a time, Khan Jieli of the Eastern Turks in the north once led his army southward, breaking through Gaoling and other defense lines all the way. In just a few days, he reached the Wei River. The forced Emperor Taizong had to ride six horses out of Chang'an and kill the white horse at the bridge. The Weishui Treaty was signed, which relieved the crisis of Chang'an's fall.
And now, those who had the same idea have become Tubo people...
At this moment, Li Xian found that he suddenly understood why the Tang Dynasty wanted to move the capital. Putting aside the messy internal affairs factors such as the Guanlong Group, the distance from Kyoto to the border alone is a potential threat.
Next to the couch is the battlefield, and a determined emperor may be frightened three times a day. For an emperor who is not determined enough, relocation is almost inevitable.
However, Li Xian didn't see it that way.
Although it is dangerous to set up the capital in Chang'an, it is also an incentive.
The emperor wanted to live a stable life, so it was wrong to avoid all dangers. He should eliminate all dangers.
Sitting on the flower bed inside the Phoenix House, Li Xian was filled with emotions.
"Your Highness, it's already afternoon and it's the hottest outside. It's better for you to go back to the palace. I'm afraid you may suffer from heat stroke."
Hearing Li Yun's urging, Li Xian realized that he was surrounded by several eunuchs holding umbrellas, trying to protect him from the sun. Two of them were already sweating through their clothes and looked like they were about to suffer from heat stroke.
"Go back, and also order Zhang Youcai to enter the palace as quickly as possible, and arrange the work for him. In addition, order the magistrates of Chang'an, Wannian, Lantian, and the three counties, and the captain of Zhechong Prefecture to enter the palace quickly. See Gu."
Seeing the anxiety of His Royal Highness, Li Yun nodded without hesitation, turned around and ran towards the Phoenix Gate.
We all live in a world where we need to act anytime and anywhere, and if countries are acting with each other, the risk is too great if they expect to perform on the spot.
It is better to invest more than to eliminate all risks. This is Li Xian's belief.
After making arrangements, it was already nightfall.
Although doing this is a bit like sharpening one's weapons before the battle, it is the only way since the Tibetans will arrive in Chang'an in three or two days.
After walking out of Li Zheng Hall, I stretched my body and took a look at the night sky. It was so late.
He wanted to turn around and go back to sleep immediately, but when he remembered that there was a silly girl waiting in Yiqiu Palace, Li Xian had to forcefully dispel his fatigue and walk in the direction of Yiqiu Palace.
Yiqiu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the East Palace. Even if the East Palace is repaired, it has rarely been given the opportunity. Therefore, compared with the other palaces with facades in the East Palace, it is somewhat dilapidated.
However, Qi Lan did not complain because the place where he lived was not good.
As if walking all the way to Yiqiu Palace, I saw a row of lanterns lit at the door, and Qi Lan was waiting at the door of the palace.
Welcoming him from a distance, Qi Lan worriedly said: "Husband, I heard that you are very busy, but are you finished now?"
It could be seen that she had been waiting for a long time, but she still did not feel any complaint. Instead, she was worried that her husband would come over without completing his work.
Reaching out to hug Qi Lan, Li Xian smiled and said: "It's okay. I'm just sorry for you. I should have come earlier, but I couldn't help it. The matter was too urgent, so I was delayed."
Hearing the hint of guilt in her husband's words, Qi Lan suddenly felt that all the unhappiness he had accumulated while waiting had disappeared.
The two hugged each other and walked up the stairs.
It wasn't until he reached the palace gate that Li Xiancai was surprised to find that he hadn't even been to Yiqiu Palace yet.
Yiqiu Palace, Yiqiu Palace, from the name, you can see the purpose of this palace.
I don’t know if it’s because of the terrain or the design of the building, but Yiqiu Palace is extremely hot.
Seeing that her husband was looking at the watered ground without making a sound, Qi Lan had no choice but to say awkwardly: "Yi Qiu Palace is a bit airtight and very hot. I was afraid that you would feel hot, so I ordered the palace maid to sprinkle some water."
Li Xian sighed. He found that his attention was still too focused on Fang Furong recently. Although it was nothing, he still felt a little guilty when he discovered that the living conditions here in Qilan were not very good.
After taking a look at the slightly dilapidated Yiqiu Palace, Li Xian smiled, patted Qi Lan on the shoulder and said, "There is no chance this year. Next year, let's gradually tear down the palace and rebuild it."
Glancing at the main hall in front of him, Qi Lan worriedly said: "It will cost a lot of money to tear it down and rebuild it. How about we just renovate it."
geng
Li Xian shook his head. How boring is it to renovate and renovate? Moreover, it is difficult to modify such an old-fashioned palace. It is easier to tear it down and rebuild it.
Although the environment here will be a little hotter, Li Xian is not worried anymore when he thinks about what he will experience tonight.
You have to sleep naked anyway, why do you care so much?
Holding Qi Lan's hand, Li Xian walked into Yiqiu Palace with a smile.
-----
There is only endless land, and there are no cows that will die from exhaustion. ——Lu Xun
Early in the morning, Li Xian was woken up by the sun. He didn't know what was going on, but this paragraph of text popped into his head.
When you don’t know the source of a famous quote, it’s definitely right to assign it to Lu Xun. Because after everyone hears it, they will just laugh it off and think about it, "Zhou Shuren does not bear this responsibility", and no one will hold you accountable for the error of your statement.
but....
Rubbing his sore waist, Li Xian felt that it would be better for him to avoid these women in the past two days.
You can't mess with a big-bellied woman. Xiao Xiao, as long as she sees her, will have a feeling of ravaging her, and Kong Xinyu's words...
As a doctor, she is destined to be a bit nagging. I am afraid that when they meet today, he will be force-fed medicine.
As for Qi Lan...
Thinking about the madness last night, Li Xian felt his waist hurt even more.
No wonder the old perverts in ancient times liked to have a lot of women...
Thinking about what happened last night, there was another movement somewhere.
As a last resort, Li Xian had to divert his attention.
No matter how ridiculous it is, there really is something wrong with your brain.
This time they had sex for three days, mainly to make these women feel at ease.
Human energy is limited, and it is not a good thing to be too greedy for pleasure when you are young.
He wanted to get up, but felt his arms being held.
Li Xian lowered his head, flicked Qi Lan's forehead and said, "I have to leave the palace today. My back hurts so much that I won't practice martial arts. You should rest for the next few days."
Qi Lan snorted and realized his current situation. Thinking about last night, he suddenly panicked and got into bed hard.
Now I know I'm shy....
After smiling, Li Xian got up and went to take a bath.
Yesterday, he had released all the tasks, and the next step was to build the theater.
A good show also requires the right time, place, and people to come together.
In order to achieve this effect, some preparation is needed.
Therefore, starting from today, migrant workers at construction sites around Chang'an will gather at the foot of a hill to attack this area specifically. And he, the prince, will also appear on the construction site.
Of course, the Tibetan envoys would also pass through there, so there is no need to go into details.
It was rare that he didn't practice martial arts. Li Xian got on the carriage and went straight to the construction site.
Although the impact of this drought was huge, it was still under control with the support of the bleeding-level family, even if the treasury did not contribute much.
The summer harvest is hopeless, and judging from the current weather conditions, there is no need to think about the autumn harvest. This means that the project will continue until the cold winter comes. As a result, in order to improve the overall progress of the project, Li Xian had to order all departments to change the project strategy, first digging the road and then paving it.
The hill we want to conquer today is the most difficult section around Chang'an.
When the Ministry of Industry was formulating the route, it decided on this place without conducting a rigorous inspection.
However, when it was time to cut the mountain, I discovered that the hill didn't look big, but underneath a thin layer of soil, it was all made of stones.
If we take a detour, we have to go too far and the investment will increase.
But if you want to cut a mountain, the project is not ordinary difficult.
After thinking hard about what to do, the Ministry of Industry and the construction site reported the matter to the East Palace.
After Li Xian evaluated the surrounding situation, he decided to choose to dig the mountain.
The stone in Shishan is very hard, so as long as rockfall protection is in place, this road even has the potential to be widened.
The carriage drove for a whole morning before finally arriving at the construction site.
Stepping out of the carriage and seeing the sea of people in front of him, Li Xiancai finally understood why the Chinese nation is the most creative nation in the world.
There are no forklifts, no explosives, no shield machines, and no rock drills. What we have is only wood, cold water, and poles.
But that's it. Now that he arrived at the construction site, he still saw clearly visible changes in the mountain.
At this time, when chiseling stones, they first carve out grooves, then burn the stone with fire, and then pour cold water on the stone when it is hot enough.
In terms of efficiency, it cannot be compared with that of later generations. However, with enough people and strong enough will, the progress of the project is still amazing.
Wang Bo took a group of shopkeepers recruited by Juxian Building and waited at the construction site. When he saw the prince looking at the construction site in a daze, he shut up and waited quietly.
After admiring the miracles created by manpower for a while, Li Xian came back to his senses and saw Wang Bo and others waiting by the car without getting out of the car. He asked directly: "How many days does it take to complete this place?"
Wang Bo came out, bowed his hands and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, Wei Chen judged that it may take more than three months. You also know that no matter how many people there are, if they can't all be present, the efficiency will not be too high. Wei Chen can guarantee at most After three months, the hill will be drilled through and the road will be paved directly.”
Three months?
Glancing at the construction site in front of him, Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. For three months, I'm afraid these people have tried their best to solve the problem by taking turns.
"I'll give you an extra month, and give the people on this construction site 20% more wages. Be careful and don't tire people out."
Wang Bo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what I am doing."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the long row of carriages behind the Prince's carriage, especially since there were many poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and sheep on the carriages. He couldn't help but wonder: "Your Highness, this is..."
Li Xian said with a smile: "Since this project is so difficult, I must show something. These are purchased from the private sector. Although there are too many people at the construction site to take care of them, these materials allow the migrant workers to eat twice." Meat is still okay.”
Eat meat?
Wang Bo, who had been living and eating on the construction site during this period, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
As for the shopkeepers, they were very smart and immediately started to ask the convoy to find a place to stop.
When the motorcade stopped, the shopkeepers dispersed.
Not long after, cheers began to appear sporadically on the construction site. When all the cheers gathered together, you could clearly hear the words "Thank you, His Royal Highness"!
Listening to the deafening shouts, Li Xian smiled and then got back into the carriage.
It's not that I'm embarrassed, but I'm a little ashamed.
After all, these meats were actually used by him to bribe these migrant workers.
As the saying goes, a cannibal has a short mouth!
Thinking of the Tibetan envoys who would pass by here in two days, Li Xian couldn't help but look forward to the time passing faster.
I heard that the hawkish envoys from Tibet this time even studied in Chang'an.
If he was just a person with muscles in his head, he wouldn't go to such great lengths to arrange it.
It is said that a gentleman can deceive others, but educated people are easier to deceive than barbarians.
