Datang Nongwang

Chapter 364 Casting Plan

"Father and mother, Sizi has not forgotten father and mother. You see, I brought back delicious mushrooms for father and mother." Sizi was very happy when he was amused by his parents.

After Li Shimin and his wife saw the two baskets of mushrooms carried by the palace maid, the two of them showed such filial piety towards Sizi, and kept teasing Sizi happily.

After being happy, the eldest grandson empress motioned for the maid to come forward with two baskets, "Si, did you pick all these mushrooms?"

"No, no, Sister Wan'er picked them. Sizi only picked a few mushrooms. Sister Wan'er also bought mushrooms from many people. Sister Wan'er is very good at counting, but I think I don’t understand what Elder Sister Wan’er wrote.” Sizi was asked by his mother and answered truthfully.

Si son's response.

Li Shimin and his wife were puzzled.

Li Lizhi, who had been standing by the side all the time, saw that her parents were puzzled, but she spoke up, "Father, mother, I heard from cousin Chongyuan that cousin Wan'er sent Li Zhuang's children to pick mushrooms. Then let Wan'er buy it back. As for the symbols written by Wan'er's cousin, I can't understand them either, presumably it's Wan'er's counting method."

Hear here.

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

His heart moved, and he thought of the previous court, Li Chongyuan almost caused a fight among the officials in the court because of the punctuation marks in a memorial.

and.

because of this.

Up to now, the sacrificial wine of this Guozijian is no longer the same as before, reporting to him from time to time about the affairs of this Guozijian.

And that Kong Yu, now often presents reports to his sage in the form of memorials.

Li Shimin's head gets dizzy when he thinks of that old and stubborn old man.

"I know about this. I think the symbols written by Wan'er should have been taught to Wan'er by Chong Yuan. After a few days, let this little guy enter the palace, so I can ask." Li Shimin then turned to his said the wife.

After hearing this, Empress Changsun did not speak.

As for matters related to the court, as long as her husband is not embarrassing, she will generally not say much.

and.

Empress Changsun has a clear understanding of Li Chongyuan's state.

only.

The symbols that Wan'er used for counting also caught her heart at this moment.

The ability of his two daughters.

How could her grandson queen not know.

Just like Li Lizhi.

Although he is one year younger than Li Chongyuan, his literary talent and handling of affairs are highly praised by others.

And his second daughter, Sizi.

He is also very talented in arithmetic.

Even her own two daughters couldn't understand it, which had to make Empress Changsun plant a deep doubt in her heart.

The emperor's business does not show.

Li Chongyuan at this moment.

But he spit again and again.

"Huh? Who is speaking ill of me behind my back again, or is she thinking about me?" After wiping his nose, Li Chongyuan sniffed hard again.

at this time.

Wan'er, who was processing her own mushrooms in the small courtyard, raised her head after hearing what her fourth brother said, "Fourth brother, my mother must be missing you. Do you want to go back to Chang'an tomorrow? Or fourth brother, by the way." Take my mushrooms back to mother?"

"Well, that's right. I should go back too. I just happen to have something to go back to Chang'an." With Wan'er's reminder, Li Chongyuan made up his mind.

The next morning.

After Li Chongyuan finished exercising, he got into the carriage and left Li Zhuang with the mushrooms that Wan'er picked from the mountains these days and the children in Li Zhuang.

In fact, there are not many mushrooms, but there are also many. There are a total of two hundred catties of mushrooms.

to this end.

There are eight or so people riding on horses, and another is behind them.

There are four baskets hanging on both sides of each horse.

Wan'er looked at the horses going away, thinking of her mother's words of praise in her heart, then happily bounced back to the small courtyard, carrying the basket again, took Xiaohong, and called the little children in the village to go I went to Niu Shou Mountain.

The moment she is.

All interests are above the mushrooms.

As for anything else.

It is estimated that there is no interest in it.

Even what Li Chongyuan told her to study had been forgotten after Li Chongyuan left Li Zhuang.

a few days.

Under the busy work of thousands of helpers.

The Niu Shou Mountain was cleaned up very quickly.

Anyway, it's just cutting off some thorns, weeds, and some small trees and seedlings.

As for the big tree.

Although it can be cut, it is somewhat limited.

down for a few days.

A radius of nearly a mile has been cleared.

at this time.

In Niu Shou Mountain, the guard team had already gone inside.

But Wan'er brought her little helpers, bent over, lowered her head, looking for mushrooms while thinking about her own affairs.

+ + + + + + + + +
After Li Chongyuan returned to his home in Chang'an.

Reported the recent situation in Lizhuang to the old lady.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the mushrooms he brought back.

Although the old lady was happy at this time, she did not forget to confess to Li Chongyuan, "Yuan'er, I am not worried about Wan'er being in Lizhuang, but I still need to read this book, so please don't read it." Let her be abandoned. At that time, she will become a wild child, and then A Niang will have a big head."

"Aniang, don't worry, although Wan'er is young, her heart is still quite upright. I also give her a lot of advice every day about studying, and the child is also tested every day." Li Chongyuan said in this matter. Basically, it is not sloppy.

After hearing this, the old lady nodded slightly.

After half an hour.

Li Chongyuan, who came out from his home, said to the steward beside him: "Steward, the mushrooms in the mansion are to be eaten at the mansion first. As for the ones in the Yingbin building, I have already let Dadu inform Qihuo. Therefore, these mushrooms are also There is no need to send it to the Yingbin Building."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Lang." After hearing the sound, the housekeeper responded with a smile.

The mushrooms needed for the Yingbin Building will naturally go to someone to pick them.

As for how many.

Then look at the living ability to do things.

Everything is sold in the West Market.

Even if there is no West Market, no matter whether it is Hu County or Lantian County, there must be something for sale.

Even if you really don't have to sell it.

Qi Huo will also find someone to search in the mountains.

Li Chongyuan who left the family.

With Xingba and the others, they walked towards Chang'an South City.

Shortly after.

Li Chongyuan arrived in a certain Lifang in Nancheng.

"Is this the house?" Li Chongyuan pointed to a house and asked Xingba.

Xing Ba nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang, this is the one."

After Li Chongyuan got Xingba's words, he signaled Xingba.

Xingba walked to the courtyard door and knocked.

After not staying for a while, the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out from the door, "May I ask what's the matter?"

"This is my young gentleman Li Xianzi. I came here this time to meet your father. Is it convenient?" Xingba replied according to his words.

When the man heard Li Xianzi, he saluted Li Chongyuan nervously and cautiously, "It turns out that Li Xianzi has come to the humble house, please invite me inside."

Li Chongyuan smiled, and then entered the courtyard.

After a moment.

The owner of this house, Li Chongyuan, has also seen it.

After the introduction of Xingbayitong.

The two sides are also acquainted.

An old man was standing nervously at the side of the hall at this moment, and asked Li Chongyuan cautiously, "I don't know why Li Xianzi came here this time? I have never done anything harmful to the world, old man."

"Old man, you are overthinking. I heard from my follower that you used to be a blacksmith, so I came here specially to ask you some questions." Seeing that the old man was so nervous, Li Chongyuan I know this old man is afraid of officials.

on their own identity.

In Chang'an City, if you throw a brick casually, it will probably hit a piece of it.

And the old man in front of him is probably also afraid of his identity, so he is so nervous.

and.

Li Chongyuan even learned the identity of the old man from Xing Ba, so he naturally understood the reason why the old man was nervous.

But when the old man heard that Li Chongyuan said that he was a blacksmith, he became even more nervous and scared, "Li Xianzi said, although the old man doesn't know where you got your lies, but the old man has never cast iron. I don't even know how to forge iron."

"Haha, old man, it seems that you don't know me, Li Chongyuan. I can find out that you are a blacksmith, so I can know your background. Therefore, I say you are a blacksmith, and there is a basis for it. However, you also Don't refuse, this is my condition, as long as you agree, everything will be easy to handle in the future." Li Chongyuan had expected this person to say these words, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and proceeded Bayi delivery.

After Xingba took a few pieces of paper, he handed it to the old man.

The old man was nervous again, and after taking the paper that Xing Ba handed him, he looked at Li Chongyuan with a frightened expression.

immediately.

Li Chongyuan got up, approached the old man and said, "You don't have to worry, even if you don't agree with my conditions, I, Li Chongyuan, will not frame your family. You can go to Chang'an City, or go to Lizhuang to inquire about it. What kind of person Li Chongyuan is to make a decision. Alright, I, Li Chongyuan, came here today to meet you, and I have no malicious intentions, so I will take my leave.”

Shortly after.

Li Chongyuan left from that family's house.

And after Li Chongyuan and his party left.

Several men in this house were standing in the hall in a daze.

even.

There are also inexplicable fears and worries.

They have already read the content on the paper.

but.

They really couldn't imagine how Li Chongyuan and the others could find out their identities or backgrounds, or even where they were located.

"Father, what should we do?" Seeing that his father seemed to be thinking about something, the eldest son of the old man was very worried and asked his father anxiously.

Sitting at the side, the old man's second son and third son also looked at their father nervously, wanting to know how to decide this matter from his father's mouth.

The old man raised his head, looked at his three sons, and sighed silently.

Just his three sons.

The older one is nearly forty, and the younger one is also in his thirties.

The three sons already have wives and children.

but.

With such a large population living in this small house, they still live a life like walking on thin ice. Every day, they are afraid that the officers and soldiers will suddenly come to the door.

Come on.

Their family is not from Chang'an.

It was just to avoid some troubles, so he moved from afar to this city of Chang'an.

There is a saying.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

After the past ten years or so, it can be regarded as a safe life.

But today, the arrival of Li Chongyuan broke their peaceful life.

Why did Li Chongyuan care so much about this person.

The reason is obvious at a glance, because the old man is a blacksmith.

Why was the blacksmith so nervous when he saw Li Chongyuan?

The reason lies in the background of this family.

In addition, from top to bottom in the Tang Dynasty, all blacksmiths were incorporated into the imperial establishment and controlled by the imperial court.

not to mention.

The background of this family can be said to be strong to a certain extent.

This is why Li Chongyuan wanted to find the head of this family in Chang'an.

Xu Xun.

It is the ancestor of this family.

Who is Xu Xun?

Xu Xun is the patriarch of the Jingming School of Taoism in the Western Jin Dynasty. Together with Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan and Sa Shoujian, they are also known as the Four Great Masters of Taoism.

Xu Xun is the founder of the Jingming School.

He is also a swordsmith.

The same reason.

Naturally, the work of the blacksmith is not a problem.

And this old family is the descendant of Xu Xun.

When Li Chongyuan came to Chang'an, he found the Xu family and raised conditions, which made the family nervous and frightened.

As for where Li Chongyuan got the news about this family.

Naturally, it's the eight of them.

Xingba and the others, although they are old soldiers.

Moreover, he was a scout, so Li Chongyuan was very relieved of his ability to detect news.

but.

At that time, after Xingba and the others heard that Li Chongyuan said that they were looking for a blacksmith, they bluntly said that he knew that a famous person was in Chang'an.

A heart is a heart.

But Li Chongyuan knew it after hearing what Xingba and the others said.

in fact.

This descendant of the Xu family did not come from their investigation of the news.

It was because among the descendants of the Xu family, one of them was once saved by Le Dao.

For various reasons, Le Dao knew about the situation of this descendant of the Xu family.

As for why Li Chongyuan didn't bring Le Dao with him today.

Speaking of which, this is also Li Chongyuan's situation in order to try the Xu family.

If it is really the first time to come to the door, he will bring Le Dao directly, which will definitely make the Xu family think that Li Chongyuan is here to bring kindness and favor.

at this time.

Back on the official road of Li Zhuang, Xing Ba rode a horse, approached the carriage, and asked Li Chongyuan in the carriage, "Little Lang, why didn't you bring the Taoist priest? The Xu family went straight back to Lizhuang with us."

"This matter can only be taken away when Xu's family disagrees. At the moment, it is best for us to exchange people with conditions. Comparing your heart, if it is you, you don't want Le Dao either. Show up." Li Chongyuan responded to Xingba outside while writing his casting plan.

After Xing Ba heard the words, he said thoughtfully: "What Xiao Lang said is true, but what if the Xu family members run away? At that time, the gains will outweigh the losses."
