Datang Longya

Chapter 755 The Emperor's Art

Song Baocai knew about Leng Feng, Duke Huguo, and also knew that Duke Huguo was in Dengzhou.Since His Royal Highness wants to go there, he should send it off anyway.

"Then, Your Highness, why don't you wait for the next day, and after the next day has finished handling the trivial matters, I will personally escort you there!"

Laizhou is located in the southwest of the west of Dengzhou. Although it is not far away, if you want to get to the state capital of Dengzhou, you have to go through the entire Dengzhou.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself had escorts to escort him, he had to follow anyway.

After all, there is no small matter in the royal family, but if something goes wrong with His Royal Highness, the heads of his family are really not enough to cut off.

Li Chengqian knew Song Baocai's difficulties, so he didn't make things difficult for him, and nodded: "In this case, I will wait for you all day."

At this time, Li Chengqian didn't know that his decision
When Zhou Jiao said that the fish convoy he had formed could no longer pull over, Leng Feng ordered the three ironclad ships to stop fishing and whaling.

To be honest, fishing is as addictive as fishing. Watching a net go down and so many fish come up is simply not too enjoyable.

Datang's waters are not overfished, and even if you go out to sea, you can catch a lot of fish.

Seeing the three boats full of fish again, Zhou Jiao smiled wryly and said, "Master Protector, if this goes on, the convoy prepared by the lower officials will not be able to transport them at all. The fish will probably go bad, it's summer."

Leng Feng jumped off the boat, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Since this is the case, then there is no fishing."

Originally, it was just simple boating and fishing, which was not a labor-intensive job. After all, the fishing nets of the three boats were equipped with pulley blocks.

However, coming to Leng Feng to sing and sing every night during this period of time is very exhausting.

Zhou Jiao handed Leng Feng a new towel, but did not expose the incident.

In his opinion, the current Duke Protector already needs to make up for it.

"The famine in the west of Dengzhou will not be a big problem after the imperial court's food arrives. It's time for you to go to Chang'an!"

Zhou Jiao nodded, not hiding his excitement.

As the rare official who was transferred from the local area to Chang'an at such an age since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was very lucky.

"In this case, I have to trouble you to take these things along the way."

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng took a receipt from Li Ke and handed it to Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao just looked at the first three items and asked in surprise, "Smoked whale meat? Whale skeleton? Golden seat?"

The first two are nothing, just a little unlucky, and the last golden seat is terrible.

With so much gold, the value of the city is not enough to describe its value.

"The whale meat is for Tianxialou, the whale skeleton is for the Academy of Arts, and the golden seat is for the emperor. Just say, it's the harvest of the East China Sea Fleet."

When the army goes out to fight, in addition to the seizures turned over to the treasury, there will also be special things dedicated to the emperor.This is generally something that is cherished. For example, troops on expeditions to the grasslands usually give the emperor several pure-blooded horses.

If there is such a good thing, you can avoid the situation of directly paying for it.After all, it would be vulgar to directly "bribe" the emperor with money!

When the East China Sea Fleet returned from a sea battle, all they captured were timber and treasures.

These things are very valuable and useful, so naturally they cannot be given to the emperor.

As for the golden seat, it will be melted anyway, so it is better to give it to the emperor in its original flavor.

This gift from Leng Feng can be said to have helped the East China Sea Fleet, so Zhang Liang generously expressed that he could help Leng's family transport some things for free in the future.

It stands to reason that warships cannot be used privately, and this alone is worth more than this golden seat.

After all, a lot of things are transported from the land of Lingnan to Datang, and the prices will turn up several times.

Zhou Jiao nodded: "Your official will definitely protect these three things. However, Lord Protector, you have made great contributions, why don't you go back to Chang'an with your official?"

Leng Feng looked in Chang'an's direction and said, "Wait for a while, wait for a while, and I'll go back."

I don't know when the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will end. Going back at this time, it will not be so easy to figure it out.

What's more, Feng An in Lingnan is eagerly waiting for the iron-clad ship, and has written many times to urge it.

After sending Zhou Jiao away, Leng Feng discussed with Li Tai and others what to bring back to Chang'an.

This is the first time for Li Tai and Li Ke to leave Chang'an for such a long time. They all have to write letters to Chang'an's father, queen, mother and concubine to report their safety. This is filial piety.

At the same time, they also prepared gifts for younger siblings and others.

shell.

Shells that can be seen everywhere on the coast of Dengzhou are rare in Chang'an.Especially the red coral, which is no less precious than gold and jade in Chang'an.

The two of them are relatively big, so they naturally have to look like older brothers.

Although Li Shimin is cruel to his elder brothers and younger brothers, he absolutely does not want to see his children rebelling against each other.

Everyone has something to do, after all, this departure, but the distance between Chang'an and Lingnan.In later generations, the distance of a few hours by plane or a day by high-speed rail was insurmountable in Datang.

If it wasn't for the escort of the army, crossing the forest and the sea alone would be an act of courting death.

The cannon on the Chengtai was unloaded, and Zhang Zhongqing asked Leng Feng to load the cannon to test its power in actual warfare, and there is only one cannon at present, and he will use this cannon as a template to continue researching.

What's more, Chengtai and Chengke have agreed to be assigned to Feng An. Although Feng An is very loyal to Datang, Li Shimin is not yet ready to hand over the cannon to him.

Leng Feng just played around, Feng An couldn't give it.

Although the Chengtai and Chengke were allocated to Feng An, the shipyard has received an order to continue building ironclad ships, and there are five ships at a time.

Adding the Pioneer and six ironclad ships, it is enough to guard against Silla, Baekje, Japan, or Feng An.

Although he was relieved of Feng An, Li Shimin still had a lot of precautions.Not only for Feng An, but also around the five surnames, there are troops stationed there.

Moreover, Li Shimin is still intentionally or unintentionally raising the scale and status of the new aristocrats to fight against the old wealthy families like the five surnames.

He never really felt at ease with the people within Datang.

Checks and balances are the means by which he invigorates Datang's interior.Because of Li Shimin's checks and balances, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, especially from the early years of Zhenguan to the present, no one dared to disturb their minds.

Although the emperor technique is annoying, it is understandable that it does promote the stability of a dynasty.

In the evening, Leng Feng got into Liu Shuwen's room after sorting out the material list that he had returned to Tianxialou.

During this period of time, he intentionally took turns sleeping between her and Xiao Cai.

After helping Leng Feng take off his coat, Liu Shuwen handed Leng Feng a secret letter.

Just by looking at the sealing seal around the letter and the phoenix pattern in one corner, it is known that the letter was sent by the queen.
