Datang Nongwang

Chapter 510 Li Shimin with a Headache
"Cousin, this snail tastes really good, but it's too troublesome to eat." Li Chongzhen was talking while licking the snail.

I also ate snails once when I was in Lizhuang.

Now, even Li Chongyuan ate the snails again to his heart's content.

It is said that without Li Yuan, Li Chongyuan, or Li Chongzhen can come and eat whatever they want, and there is no need to pay attention to the etiquette at the dinner table.

after all.

With the big boss Li Yuan around, even Li Chongyuan, who is casual, has to be more particular, even if he is not particular, at least he has to respect the old and love the young.

Moreover, without Wan'er, the troublemaker, Li Chongyuan could eat even more comfortably.

Li Chongzhen is even more so.

Those who were oppressed by Li Yuan in Li Village were going crazy.

After finally letting go of the long wind, no matter what, I have to make up for it during this period of time.

While nibbling on the snail quickly, Li Chongyuan responded, "The taste is average. If there is chili pepper, it will be enough."

"Cousin, what is chili pepper?" Li Chongzhen became energetic immediately after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

Li Chongyuan suddenly realized that he was talking too much, and almost revealed something, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just something spicy, like spicy Polygonum, or dogwood."

Li Chongzhen got Li Chongyuan's explanation, but he didn't ask further.

What is chili, in his mind, there is no specific designation at all.

But for Li Chongyuan, it was the taste in his memory.

In addition to chili, there are many other foods that are remembered.

And this time he came to Xixiang to find the food in his memory.

The wharf is under construction and the ocean water is being dredged.

The foundation of the shipyard has also begun to be rammed.

Li Chongyuan is looking forward to one day in the future, he can cook a delicious chili fried pork at home, or even a tiger skin sharp pepper.

Thinking of this, Li Chongyuan's eyes were filled with hope.

In Li Chongyuan's memory.

Eating spicy food seems to be brought out from the bone.

Talking about places in China that can eat spicy food, Li Chongyuan dare not say that his hometown in his previous life ranked first, but Li Chongyuan thinks that his hometown is the number one.

In the west of Jiangxi, from Pingxiang to Ji'an, chili is eaten purely hot.

even.

In my previous life, there were three special chili dishes for guests, namely fried red chili with green chili, five chili peppers, and chili peppers for snacks.

Stir-fried red peppers with green peppers are self-evident, what you eat is that taste, without meat, just with a little garlic or fermented soybeans.

As for five peppers.

This dish, but few people can eat it.

What is five peppers? You can tell from the name that it is a dish made of five kinds of peppers.

Dried chili, green chili, red chili, chaotian chili, and sour chili pepper are fried together as a hospitality dish.

According to Li Chongyuan's knowledge, this dish is rarely eaten by local people.

But Li Chongyuan knew that although this dish was not well-known in his hometown in his previous life, whenever a customer came to his house, he would cook it.

Of course, if the customer specifically said that I can't eat spicy food, it can basically be cancelled.

As for the snack chili, it is a snack.

Chili snacks marinated in sugar.

In Yongxin County, there are still people who like to eat this chili snack, at least Li Chongyuan likes to eat it.

There is a saying.

In the era when there was not too much meat, snacks became the dominant position.

And pepper is the top priority.

even.

When there are no snacks, a pepper with a little salt can be eaten in full swing.

Too many things to remember.

It always makes Li Chongyuan lose himself in the memories.

Li Chongyuan was originally a nostalgic person, and this kind of nostalgia also made him always want to go to his hometown in his previous life to take a look.

Even though the place is barren now, Li Chongyuan always wants to find a chance to take a look.

Li Chongyuan no longer cares about the affairs of Yangzhou.

But when they beat Li Chongyuan and they returned to the fief Li Village, they didn't even ask about it.

Over the past few days, Li Chongyuan has been busy picking camellia oleifera, or checking the status of the dredging of foreign water, or checking the construction of the wharf and shipyard.

In short.

Li Chongyuan was very busy, so busy that he almost forgot everything in Yangzhou.

And after a few days down.

At this time, Xue Wu had already sent the drafted memorial to Chang'an in a hurry.

As for the next thing, although Xue Wu felt a little bit resentful towards Li Chongyuan, but fortunately Li Chongyuan didn't evacuate all the personnel when he arrived, and still sent Yao Kong Xiangba and the others to help deal with the affairs of Yangzhou.

And the Gao family at this time.

But it was a group of local clan elders sitting around.

All of them had expressions of worry and anger on their faces.

"Old Gao, what are you talking about? Half a month has passed. If this continues, Yangzhou will be in chaos."

"Gao Lao, look at my shop, there have been no customers coming to the door these days, if this continues, we will suffer a lot."

"Old Gao, Yangzhou is in chaos now, and only you can lead us to turn the tide. Elder Gao, you just say something for the sake of our acquaintance for many years."

Many local clan gentry asked the old man of the Gao family to speak.

but.

That elder Gao never spoke, not even a single word.

Like half a month ago.

At the beginning when Li Chongyuan made drastic moves to stir up the entire Yangzhou officialdom, the old man Gao never said a word.

And now.

The squires of these local clans came to Gao's house again, hoping that the old Gao could take action to prevent the unrest in Yangzhou.

For a long time.

That old man was still speechless, at best, all the gentry had no choice but to bow and leave.

After all the squires left Gao's house.

That elder Gao really spoke, "Ping'er, is there a letter from you?"

"Replying to father, elder brother's letter was just delivered this morning, and my son saw them there just now, so I didn't reply to you, father." Elder Gao's son replied.

Elder Gao glanced at his son, who quickly took out the letter from his pocket and handed it over.

After a while.

Elder Gao sighed silently: "Oh! It seems that we have underestimated that Li Yushi. Yingfeng even stated the affairs of my Yangzhou in front of the court officials, but the emperor Still haven't said anything, it seems that the emperor wants to make Yangzhou mess up."

"Father, you don't have to worry. Even if Yangzhou is in chaos, my Gao family won't be in trouble. Besides, with the eldest brother walking around in the capital, Yangzhou will definitely not be in chaos." Qi'er comforted.

Elder Gao looked at his son and shook his head, "You, I really don't understand that emperor. Back then, he dared to do such treasonous things as killing his brother and imprisoning his father. There is nothing in this world that he would not dare to do. Things. Now that such a child is sent to my Yangzhou, it seems that he is determined to move Yangzhou."

"Father, didn't that kid go back to his fief? He said that he would no longer care about the affairs of Yangzhou, so why should we be afraid of his little supervisory censor? In management, if Xue Wu dares to touch our Gao family, he will not feel better." Qi'er replied without worry at all.

Elder Gao stared at his son closely, and knew that his son was right, but he was still worried, "Xue Wu won't touch my Gao family, but I'm afraid that Guan will stab Xue Wu in the back." At that time, Xue Wu will not have a good time, and our Gao family will not have a good time. People die for money, and birds die for food. Guan He has been serving as a different general in the Tongjun Mansion for several years. Up to now, oil and salt have not entered, Even Xue Wu said he didn't know who Guan He was."

"Father, why don't you tell Xue Wu that according to the current turmoil in Yangzhou, shut down that surname directly." Qi'er stretched out his hand like a knife and said.

Elder Gao shook his head, "This matter has to be done slowly. Didn't Xue Wu send a message the day before yesterday to reassure us. My Gao family and his Xue Wu are on the same boat. If something happens to my Gao family, he Xue Wu Don’t even think about it. You can write a letter to the capital in a while and ask Yingfeng what the imperial court’s plan is for Yangzhou.”

His son left respectfully.

Gao's situation is unclear.

But at this time in the state government office, that Xue Tongjun was so busy that he didn't touch the ground.

Even the other general is the same.

If Li Chongyuan at this time knew that there was an unexplainable Daoming relationship between the Gao family and Xue Wu, he would probably be stupid.

but.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan would not care about Yangzhou's affairs at all.

I'm too busy with my own affairs, so I don't have any thought to take care of Yangzhou's affairs.

The picks are all down, whoever you love.

What Li Shimin will do with him after he returns to Chang'an is a matter for the future.

At worst, Li Chongyuan can be a hob meat, and he can do whatever he wants.

Another two days later.

Li Chongyuan looked at the ocean water being dredged, but Li Chongzhen was bored, "Cousin, when are we going back to Chang'an? We've all been in Xixiang for more than 20 days, and it's time to go back to Chang'an."

"Let's wait a few more days. Yao Kong and the others haven't come back yet. It seems that the matter in Yangzhou is not over yet. According to my estimation, it's almost time for these few days to end." Li Chongyuan kept his eyes on Yangshui and was busy plumbers.

As soon as Yao Kong and the others come back, he, Li Chongyuan, should be ready to go back to Chang'an.

For the things here, everything that needs to be done has been done, and everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained.

Coupled with the fact that Xiang Si is in charge, as long as Xiang Si acts according to Li Chongyuan's plan, everything will be done within the construction period.

Although the shipyard has not yet started construction, the design drawings have been handed over to Xiang Si.

even.

Li Chongyuan also drew a lot of design drawings for the shipyard.

For example, this gantry crane, and some ziplines and other things.

However, Li Chongyuan also knew that the boats he built were all made of wood, and it was basically hopeless to use the design drawings he drew.

But Li Chongyuan had a plan in mind, that is to build an iron boat and try it out.

The tools needed to build the iron boat had to be returned to Lizhuang, and then handed over to Lao Xu's family to complete. In Xixiang, let's forget it.

now.

Li Chongyuan was planning to return to Chang'an.

Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an, received Xue Wu's memorial.

When Li Shimin received the memorandum handed over by Xue Wu, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Li Chongyuan, is he a pick? What is he doing? Is it to show my face? I let him go to Xixiang to let him Check out the affairs of Yangzhou for me. It’s not like letting him go and mess up the whole Yangzhou. I just reprimanded him a few times, and he dared to pick someone up. Is he still the supervisor of the censor? See when he comes back , how do I deal with him."

Xue Wu's memorandum is written clearly and clearly.

That is, Li Chongyuan didn't care about it, and let the Tongjun Mansion handle all the affairs of Yangzhou.

Okay.

Li Shimin originally thought that with Li Chongyuan and the Commanding Army Mansion, everything would be safe.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his letter of reprimand was sent to Xixiang, Li Chongyuan directly dropped the pick, and he didn't even send a letter back to Chang'an, so that a commander in chief could submit a statement.

Li Shimin was on fire, and it was a big fire.

But after the fire, Li Shimin started to have a headache again.

"Yangzhou has become so chaotic, and [-]% of the officials have problems. Is this still my Yangzhou? Alas! Such Yangzhou, such officials." Li Shimin said at the moment that he was angry and sad. .

although.

He had known for a long time that there was a problem in Yangzhou's officialdom.

But he really didn't expect that the officialdom in Yangzhou had become so chaotic.

Play the book.

There are things about selling children a little bit, and there are things about bullying men and women.

There is even the matter of robbing civilian women.

At the same time, there are also things that have been used up and down to harm the people.

Even the death incidents that Li Shimin didn't want to see the most were so many that there was a number on the memorial that made Li Shimin heartbroken.

Yangzhou five counties.

There are more than a hundred officials in total, and none of them is without problems.

There are so many big problems that it is inconvenient to record them in the memorial, so we can only roughly describe some big things in the book.

As for small things, Li Shimin can imagine that it is a terrible number.

Officials are like this, let alone subordinate officials.

There are thousands of subordinate officials in Yangzhou.

Ninety percent of thousands of people have problems. What a number this is.

At this time, Li Shimin's head exploded immediately after seeing this terrible number, "Wang Li, Yangzhou is in such a mess, do you think there is any problem with the Tongjun Mansion? And now it's time to restructure the Tongjun Mansion At that time, if there is a problem with the Yangzhou Commanding Army Mansion, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wang Li usually doesn't speak.

But when Li Shimin asked him this question, Wang Li spoke up for the first time.

"Your Majesty, according to Xue Wu's disposition, it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, Guan He occasionally sent a letter, and he didn't mention Xue Wu's violation of my Tang law and holy will. Therefore, the servant feels that the Yangzhou Commander's Mansion There should be no problem." Wang Li was judged by Li Shimin's sudden question, thinking about the news from the hidden guards and Baiqisi's news.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, "You're right. The news from the Baiqi Division did not find any problems with the Yangzhou Commander's Mansion. It seems that I was overthinking. But there are many problems with Yangzhou officials, and I Where did you send officials to take charge of the government, ah~~, you little bastard! You muddied the water in Yangzhou, but didn't clear it up for me, which made me very passive!"
