Datang Nongwang

Chapter 343
morning.

Li Chongyuan and Zhuo Xingba returned to Chang'an City from Lizhuang with a batch of wine.

As for Wan'er.

After waking up in the morning, it returned to its original appearance.

and.

Early in the morning, I took two big dogs, and the children in the village, ran out of Lizhuang to chase hares in the snow.

Li Chongyuan originally wanted to bring this girl back to Chang'an.

Think about it later.

She was frightened once yesterday, so let her play.

Li Chongyuan, who returned to his family, was called into the hall by the old lady, "Yuaner, you really need to change your temperament. You used to like to mess around, and Auntie never blamed you, but yesterday when the Hu family village The housekeeper came back and told me that you did a good job, but your temper is really soft."

Yes.

What the old lady said meant that Li Chongyuan was too soft-tempered.

In the past, Li Chongyuan had a strong temper, but he was never so soft.

But after the Hujiazhuang incident, the old lady found that Li Chongyuan's temperament was too soft.

If it wasn't for the presence of the steward and the soldiers of the Xiang family yesterday, Li Chongyuan might still be as usual and dare not make a move.

I suffered such a big loss.

Still not daring to make a move, this is too soft-tempered for the old lady.

"Aniang, don't worry, from yesterday, the boy is no longer the same boy as before. If anyone bullies the boy in the future, the boy will definitely beat him back." Li Chongyuan replied with some shame.

Li Chongyuan really lost his face at this moment.

What he said.

It is estimated that only he himself knows.

Whatever bullies him, he will hit back.

For example, if Li Shimin's sons really bullied him, can they really beat him back?
The old lady shook her head after hearing this.

she knows.

Li Chongyuan is still too young, his knowledge is not deep enough, his character is not strong enough, his ruthless methods are not enough, etc.

This made the old lady miss her deceased husband suddenly.

If her husband was still alive, she might be able to teach a few arrogant children.

From Li Chongji, the eldest son, to Li Chongyuan.

None of these four sons had the backbone and arrogance of his long-dead husband.

Seeing the old lady shaking her head, Li Chongyuan suddenly felt uncomfortable, and then approached the old lady, and gently helped the old lady beat her shoulders, "Mother, you don't have to worry about the child, the child will grow up gradually in the future, And after what happened yesterday, the boy has learned something."

"It's good for you to know. Think about when your father was still alive. Your father's backbone was placed above the current court. That is also the thumbs-up of the audience. You brothers, you should pay more attention to your father in the future." Study." The old lady closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Li Chongyuan's shoulder-beating, while lecturing to Li Chongyuan.

at this time.

Li Chong quietly left the Yamen and returned to the mansion.

He reported to the old lady what happened above the court.

After the old lady heard about it, she closed her eyes again and said softly: "Ji'er, this matter is over. From now on in the court, you should get closer to the generals. Those civil servants, there are not many people." A good thing."

"Yes, mother, I understand." After Li Chongji received the words, he left immediately and went back to work.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time.

Seeing that the matter was over, the worries in my heart immediately fell to the ground.

But when Li Chongyuan thought of the Xiang family soldiers he saw yesterday.

Li Chongyuan's mind became active again, "Aniang, those three hundred soldiers yesterday were so brave, if only I had three hundred soldiers."

"You, don't think about it. They are soldiers from the Xiang family, but they were arranged in the Peking University Camp. Moreover, these soldiers, who followed your father on a mission to Turks, and those who can come back from Turks, There are a few who are not brave." When the old lady heard Li Chongyuan's words, she shook her head lightly, signaling Li Chongyuan to stop.

Li Chongyuan immediately walked back to the old lady, and said with some malicious intentions: "Aniang, I was just thinking about it. By the way, Aniang, I have something I want to ask Aniang for advice."

"Tell me, as long as A Niang knows, she will definitely tell you." The old lady replied indifferently.

but.

When she saw Li Chongyuan's expression at this moment, she suddenly felt that she agreed too soon.

The malicious look on Li Chongyuan's face at this time, if Wan'er saw it, she must know that her fourth brother must have some bad ideas.

Is it a bad idea.

It all depends on Li Chongyuan at this time.

Li Chongyuan saw that his aunt seemed to have agreed to his own affairs, and said with a shy face: "Aniang, can you give me the three hundred soldiers? I have something important and I want them to help my child."

When the old lady heard Li Chongyuan's words, she immediately shook her head.

"That can't be done. Didn't Aunt just say that these people have contributed to my Li family. I can't hand them over to you. Even if I allow it, neither will the Holy One, nor will the Supreme Emperor. That's right. , why do you want so many people there?" the old lady refused.

What kind of asking is not asking for advice, and what kind of asking is this.

This is obviously a need for people.

Seeing his aunt's resolute refusal, Li Chongyuan said shyly, "Amother, you also know that children like farming. As far as children know, it is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Zhuangzi that food is eaten without farming. Clothes without weaving must have something to say. So, I want to ask my mother for some people to go to various places to find some grain seeds for my boy."

When Li Chongyuan said this.

It really surprised the old lady.

Immediately.

The old lady pointed at Li Chongyuan and said: "You are told to study well, but you just don't listen. This means eating without farming and clothes without weaving. It means getting something without labor. When it comes to you, it has become something to point to. Is there really any place in this world where you can eat without tilling, and wear clothes without weaving? Even the land of gods is nothing more than that."

Li Chongyuan's words directly made the old lady angry.

This made Li Chongyuan really not expect such a result.

but.

However, Li Chongyuan still insisted on what he asked, "Aniang, I know the meaning of these words, but this is just a child's guess. It's like when I was in Huaxia, before Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, we ate a lot of food. None, they were all brought back by Zhang Qian and the others. Although the products have increased a lot, Zhang Qian has only been sent to the Western Regions. What about the west of the Western Regions? Or the north and south of my Tang Kingdom, and the thousands of miles of sea and land in the east? What about outside? Isn’t there any there?”

After the old lady heard Li Chongyuan's words.

It was also a meal.

Like history.

Zhang Qian did bring back a lot of species when he went out of the fortress.

Then came the commercial roads of the Western Regions, and even all kinds of Huren and Persians.

Just as Li Chongyuan said, what kind of place is the west of the Western Regions?What kind of property does it have?

The old lady looked at Li Chongyuan in front of her, and really wanted to know why this son in front of her had such thoughts.

"Yuan'er, do you mean that you want me to hand over the soldiers of the Xiang family to you, and then you will send them to the west of the Western Regions just like Zhang Qian? Bring you back all kinds of products?" the old lady said. After being stunned for a long time and thinking about it for a long time, he asked Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan saw that his aunt had finally opened his eyes, and immediately beamed with joy, "Yes, aunt, that's what I mean. However, my idea is not to go to the west of the Western Regions, but to the south of my Tang Kingdom." , As for the east, because it is separated by thousands of miles of sea and territory, even if you go there, you will never return."

"You, it's too whimsical. The south of my Tang country is a land of barbarians. Not to mention that you can't do it, even the Holy Majesty may not be able to do it. Besides, the southern part of my Tang country after Lingnan passed, it is even more miasmic. Do you want to kill the officers and men of the Xiang family?" After sighing, the old lady shook her head again and again.

Seeing that the old lady had returned to normal, Li Chongyuan felt a lot of pressure.

It's really hard to change someone's mind.

And it's because of this.

but.

Li Chongyuan still did not give up, "Aniang, I don't need too many people, only three to five hundred people, if Aniang is not willing to hand over the soldiers of the Xiang family to Hai'er, Haier will organize a caravan at that time, and then we will come back again." Ask the holy majesty for a letter of envoy, and send someone to the south to help me find properties."

"Yuan'er, what are you going to do! Li Zhuang is not enough for you to toss about, and Hujiazhuang has so many fields, which is enough for you to toss about. Yuan'er, don't mess around, let this matter go." The old lady saw Li Chongyuan was so thoughtful, he directly asked Li Chongyuan to dispel this idea.

Li Chongyuan listened to his aunt's words, but he couldn't let go of the matter in his heart, "Amother, it's not that I'm messing around, but that I want to find some property for my Tang country. As far as I know, my Tang country's The south is rich in spices, if I can grow spices in Lizhuang or Hujiazhuang and the fiefs, I will definitely be able to earn a lot of money."

"Spices? There are a lot of spices over there, but they are not what we can get. Moreover, our Tang Kingdom has a certain relationship with these vassal states. If you really send people there, you will be in trouble again." Alright." The old lady shook her head even more when she heard about the spices.

but.

But Li Chongyuan insisted: "Aniang, you also know that the spices that those vassal states pay tribute to are all clinker, not raw material, let alone seeds. They are just afraid that our Tang Kingdom will grow spices. That's why I thought of sending someone over there, even if I got a few seeds, I can plant them."

"Don't think about it anymore. It's a matter between countries. It's not something you can control. Even if you can get the seeds, haven't those aristocratic families thought about it? Don't think that you are the only one who is smart. , there are many smart people in this world." The old lady firmly refused.

Seeing that the old lady still refused, Li Chongyuan had no choice in the end.

Also as the old lady said.

Under the sun, there are many smart people.

But Li Chongyuan has no advantage other than relying on the memory of his previous life.

Although the old lady refused.

But in Li Chongyuan's heart, his idea became more firm.

No matter how.

Even if he pays some price, Li Chongyuan will fulfill what he wants.

in the afternoon.

Before Li Chongyuan returned to Li Zhuang, he found the housekeeper.

"I don't know why Mr. Xiaolang is looking for me?" Seeing Li Chongyuan calling him to stop, the steward asked with confusion.

Li Chongyuan approached the steward, said with a smile on his face: "Steward, I am short of manpower recently, can you give me ten or twenty people, I want good skills."

"Does Mr. Xiaolang have something to do? If Mr. Xiaolang has anything to do, just leave it to me." Seeing Li Chongyuan begging for someone, the butler replied with a smile.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "No, I have offended a lot of people recently, and after the Hujiazhuang incident, I am afraid that I will be attacked by someone in Lizhuang."

"What Xiao Lang said is true, I will arrange this matter later, and they will go to Lizhuang later." After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, the butler thought for a while and replied.

After Li Chongyuan got the housekeeper's words, he wondered if he should tell him not to mention it to his mother.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say that.

Subsequently.

Li Chongyuan left his home, got into the carriage, and went back to Lizhuang.

in fact.

Li Chongyuan's request.

The butler didn't think about it.

But after Li Chongyuan's reminder, he just remembered this matter, and it is really necessary to strengthen the safety of Li Zhuang.

Li Chongyuan originally wanted him not to mention it to the old lady.

But the housekeeper still asked the old lady for instructions.

The old lady who got the words sighed again and again: "Oh~~ It seems that Yuan'er is not willing to give up until he reaches the Yellow River. Forget it, you can send him 20 people there. The safety of Lizhuang is exactly as it should be. arranged."

The old lady's words made the butler confused.

but.

He didn't ask any more questions, and then left the house.

By evening.

Li Chongyuan, who had already returned to Lizhuang, met twenty Xiang family members.

As soon as the twenty Xiang family members arrived at Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan rubbed his hands happily, feeling very excited.

There is a saying.

With people, what you think in your heart is already a beginning.

"Fourth brother, who are they? I look a little scary." When Wan'er saw the twenty Xiang family members, she asked Li Chongyuan in a low voice.

Li Chongyuan patted the little girl on the head lightly, "Do you know that yesterday's soldiers are among those people, and they will always guard us in Lizhuang from now on."

"Ah! Are they the ones who killed people?" Upon hearing this, Wan'er nervously looked at the twenty Xiang family members in the courtyard.

Seeing that the girl was scared again, Li Chongyuan laughed and said, "You know you're afraid too? It's good to know you're afraid. It depends on whether you still listen."

"Hmph, I'm not afraid, I'm just curious." Wan'er said stubbornly, ignoring her fourth brother's teasing with her mouth curled up.

Subsequently.

After Li Chongyuan talked to these 20 people, Qiao Su put them down.

20 people came to Lizhuang.

This is very difficult for Li Zhuang to live in.

Fortunately, Qiao Su's house is vacant, and it is time to arrange for these people.

As for Qiao Hui, she still lives with Li Chongyuan.

Who knows when the wine will be boiled again, anyway, Qiao Hui didn't move back, and there are not too many houses at the moment, so it can only be arranged at Qiao Su's house.
