Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 757 Who Trades With You!
Since ancient times, those who achieve great things must be surrounded by heroes. In this land of China, what greater event is there than unification of the world?
In Zipei County, Liu Bang Township, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, in addition to Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, there were also Zhou Bo, Fan Kui, Cao Can, Guan Ying, Lu Wan, Wang Ling, and Xia Houying, all of whom were famous officials in the world.

In Zifengyang, the hometown of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there was Xu Da, the No. 1 general in the world, Li Shanchang, the first adviser, Feng Sheng, Feng Guoyong, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, all of whom made great achievements in battle.

It has to be said that among the founding emperors of all dynasties, the level of advisers and generals around Li Yuan... is almost the worst.

In the first year of Wude, Li Yuan announced the list of seventeen meritorious officials in Taiyuan Yuanmou. Except for Li Shimin and Chai Shao, the others were Li Yuan's old men...at least at that time.

Most of the ex-Sui ministers who Li Yuan valued and who also consolidated his foundation had served in the former Sui Dynasty, and except for Li Yuan himself, their official positions were not high.

For example, Pei Ji is only the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace, Wenxi Pei counts from the front to the back, and you can only see him when you count to the back, and Liu Wenjing is just a Jinyang county magistrate.

After all, there are some reasons for not being able to make a name for himself in the Sui Dynasty at a very old age.

For example, Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, and Liu Hongji were defeated in Qianshuiyuan, Pei Ji, Liu Hongji, and Liu Zhenghui were defeated in Hedong, and Li Gaoqian fled in the face of the enemy's siege.

It can be said that the abilities of most of them are questionable, and it is not because of them that Li Tang Jianguo was able to dominate the world for several years.

But these people have an obvious characteristic, their ability is average, but they are very good at being officials... In other words, they are very good at trading.

Chang Da, the general manager of Longzhou, is an example. He is not stupid, and he knows very well that it is right to supply grain and rice, but he should get back some benefits... After all, Chang Da has nothing in particular, but he is used to sex hoping to seal a deal.

But what Chang Da didn't expect was that Li Shan, who had been counted by him once by default, couldn't hold back his temper, and overturned the table regardless... In Chang'an, Shandong, and Daizhou, he had to weigh the pros and cons. This time it's my turn to be unruly!
In the main hall, Pei Xuanji looked at the ashen-faced Chang Da sympathetically. Who would have thought that the Prince of Handan would be so irritable?
After being rejected, shouldn't there be some way... such as me to communicate?

Why did you tear your face apart like this?

Chang Shi Yang Ze took a deep look at Li Shan with a smile on his lips, thinking in his heart, this doesn't seem to be the style of the King of Handan.

Li Shan took the account book in the hands of the treasurer and joined the army without any scruples, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "The inventory is abundant, and the government is always just and efficient."

"It's so rich, but so stingy, it's really..."

Li Shan looked at Chang Da and spoke sincerely, "If the refugees are aroused to riot, they will go to war, the place will be robbed, and His Majesty will blame you, why bother?"

"A total of more than [-] people will send [-] buckets of grain and rice every ten days. If the grain and rice are not enough, they will be deducted from other grains."

"Ten sheep and ten pigs will be sent every ten days."

Li Shan ordered lazily, "Of course, Mr. Chang is an old man of uncle, so you can not allow it."

"It's just that if Mr. Chang doesn't allow it, then there's nothing the orphan can do."

Yang Ze held back his laughter, Chang Da depended on the fact that Li Yuan's old man was in charge of the power in Longzhou, and the three adjutants could not do anything but drink tea every day, so this time he bumped his head against the iron wall.

People call him "Uncle" already, I'm afraid your background is useless.

People have said that if you can't do anything, then I can't do anything... It's a naked threat.

Yang Ze was a little curious about what Li Shan would do next, but an old bureaucrat like Chang Da had a dirty heart... If he really stood up to it, the young county king opposite might really let go.

Those refugees finally found a foothold, and they had to be taken in by a county king, but their hope that they could reach out was torn to pieces. Maybe they would really make trouble. Quickly quell the chaos, get the military exploits, and then take advantage of the impeachment, I really can't eat and walk away.

As for the civil unrest... the King of Handan is the place where Qing Si Nong goes on tour, so what does it have to do with him?
Li Shan put down the account book, chatted with Yang Ze and Pei Xuanji with a smile, and then went out with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Pei Xuanji sent out the door, and said with a wry smile: "The manager won't allow it, His Highness will tell you, and the next official will go to persuade him, not to mention the two thousand refugees, the manager will not really ignore it."

"Chang Da really won't ignore the two thousand refugees." Li Shan said with a light smile, "Then why didn't he make it clear yesterday, and insisted on waiting to find him alone?"

"He knows that Gu is stationed in a valley more than ten miles outside the city, and he also knows that Gu has no grain to feed the refugees..."

"He's waiting for Guqiu to come to his door!"

Only then did Pei Shiju realize that it was so true!

Today's Li Shan is not the young man he was a few years ago. Trading...Chang Da really doesn't have the qualifications.

Li Shan strode out of the mansion, gave a few casual orders, and a dozen guards reported loudly, and the hundreds of young and strong people in the back soon found out... The governor of Longzhou refused to pay the food, and it was the King of Handan who forced him out of food.

Two thousand refugees, nearly a thousand young adults... Li Shan thought to himself, he should also thank Chang Da, if it wasn't for this fellow's mischief, he wouldn't be so easy to win people's hearts.

With the ups and downs in Shandong and Daizhou, Li Shan unconsciously had such thoughts, trying to gather some people around him... maybe it will come in handy.

Besides, since he came to Longzhou, Chang Da has given him a cold face several times... Although Li Shan said he was kind to others, he really didn't have a good temper.

Glancing at the silent Zhang Zhongjian, Li Shan got on his horse and lightly whipped his whip on the guy's shoulder, "So majestic, yet so timid!"

"Nowadays the world is initially settled, but the Turks are still powerful, and Guannei Road and Hedong are frequently fought. Shouldn't men be judged by their military exploits?"

"Next time if someone humiliates you like this again, don't be afraid to cause trouble for Gu, just give him a whip!"

Zhang Zhongjian took a deep breath, prostrated himself on the ground, "Follow your order."

In fact, in this era, Li Shan has a unique perception of many people...but Zhang Zhongjian is the most special.

Not because Zhang Zhongjian is the bearded man who is the head of the legendary Three Heroes, but because this time he is ugly, even worse than Li Shan's previous life... A few years ago, Li Shan met Li Yuanji for the first time by the Yellow River.

It is said that when this girl was just born, Mrs. Dou disliked her ugly appearance and refused to raise her... This is basically nonsense. Newborn babies are all ugly. Li Shan saw with his own eyes that Li Yuanji was not considered handsome, but he was not ugly.

But Zhang Zhongjian is really ugly!
Li Shan empathizes, being ugly can still climb up with his own efforts in later generations, but it is too difficult in this era, not everyone can become "Zi Yu".
