The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1057 Zhuangzi's Prosperity

Li Yin was still afraid. The majesty of His Majesty Li Er had already been imprinted in his heart. He could ignore His Majesty Li Er's reprimand in Qizhou before because he didn't stand in front of him face to face.

Now that father and son are facing each other, Li Yin is afraid.

"I said a long time ago that you disappointed me very much, but although I was disappointed in you, I never gave up on you. After all, you are my son, but this time, I want to know, what do you want to explain to me?" ?” His Majesty Li Er said.

This time, the old officials of the former Sui Dynasty were involved. The former Sui Dynasty was the enemy of the Li family. As the son of the Li family, he came together with the enemy and intended to deal with his father. Such behavior made His Majesty Li Er very angry. chilling.

Including Li You from two years ago, who came together with Yin Hongzhi.
Although Yang Guang is the grandfather of Li Ke and Li Min, His Majesty Li Er is their father, and their ancestor's surname is Li, not Yang.

"My son." Li Yin's voice trembled a little: "My son was fooled for a while."

Now that things have happened, Li Yin doesn't know how to defend himself. The more eloquent his tongue is, the more his father may hate him.

In fact, it is not the case. The father has only complete disappointment and disappointment towards his son, but he can't hate him.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the tightly bound prisoners: "All these people will be sent to Dali Temple, and Dai Zhou will interrogate them in person. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" Gao Jun replied.

Dali Temple is next to the Shenhou Mansion, so you can just send it there when you leave the palace.

As soon as these people arrived in the cell of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou was busy again.

I don't know what happened to Li Zhi's case.

If only one prince did this kind of treasonous thing, His Majesty Li Er might be more open-minded. Now, the two of them get together, and the discomfort in His Majesty Li Er's heart is not as simple as one plus one equals two up.

"Sizi, go back to the harem first. After such a long time, your mother has become like you. As for Jing'er, stay here for now. I still have something to tell you."

"Yes." The two clapped their hands together.

Xuan Shijing followed His Majesty Li Er into the Ganlu Hall, Gao Jun Changle and others took Jin Yiwei to escort these people to Dali Temple.

The three walked into the Ganlu Hall.

"Find a place to sit down." His Majesty Li Er said something, then returned to his seat, and ordered Deyi to have some tea brought up by the way.

The small case next to His Majesty Li Er belonged to Jinyang, and there was another book case on the side under the steps, and Xuan Shijing sat behind the book case.

"Tell me about Minzhou and Qizhou carefully." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands in response.

Although the people from Baiqisi also went into the territory of the two states to inquire about the news, they did not reach the point where everything was detailed, and they only inquired about some important things. As for His Majesty Li Er, what he wants to know more now is the people's livelihood in the two states.

Being tossed down by his two sons like this, can the common people live in peace?

"Minzhou has been barren since ancient times, surrounded by mountains, and there is no good land for the people to cultivate. Compared with other people in Guanzhong, it is naturally poor. In addition, the east and west of Tuyuhun are now very noisy. Although the days to come are stable, they are still indispensable. I am worried, just like the report I sent to Chang'an before, the east is my Tang Dynasty's subsidiary, but the west has defected to Tubo, and the west sent troops to invade the Tang. Let the west be buckled by the east."

"Regarding this matter, I have sent envoys to Tubo to contact Tubo with regard to the East Tuyuhun matter. Since it is a subsidiary of Tubo, let Tubo take care of it." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Minzhou now raises [-] soldiers. In order to resist Tuyuhun's autumn hunting, the minister really trained those soldiers well. Although Minzhou can't afford so many soldiers, it doesn't need so many soldiers without watches." Xuan Shijing said: "I feel that the number of soldiers in Minzhou should be about [-], guarding the two main roads from Tuyuhun to Minzhou. As for the remaining [-], it is up to His Majesty to decide."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard: "That's right, Minzhou raises [-] soldiers, and the grain and salary can be supplied by Hezhou. As for the people of Minzhou, the environment of Minzhou has been like this since ancient times. I can't do anything for a while. It’s my fault that I’m having a hard time.”

"The newly appointed governor of Minzhou is not bad. Maybe the governor of Minzhou will help the people of Minzhou and make them live better. Your Majesty does not need to blame himself." Xuan Shijing comforted.

Although His Majesty Li Er may only be talking about scenes, it is not easy for an emperor to be able to say such scenes.

"What about Qizhou?" Compared to Minzhou, Qizhou is more worthy of His Majesty Li Er's concern. At least Li Zhi has not harmed the people during the three years in Minzhou, and his achievements in the past three years are considered good, but Qizhou.

Thinking of the excerpts from Qizhou, His Majesty Li Er felt panicked for a while.

"Qizhou. When I arrived in Qizhou, it was already past the autumn harvest time. As for whether the farmland is in good condition, the amount of food in the treasury, and the amount of tax revenue, I have not come to see.

"Forget it, Qizhou, I will send another person there." His Majesty Li Er sighed: "Now Zhang Xingcheng, the aide of the King of Jin, is in the prison of your Shenhou Mansion, and Fang Yiai has already been interrogated. This piece of Xing Chengduan is an old fox, but he not only traps King Jin in it, but in the end he even traps himself in it. Go and meet him, and let Jin Yiwei go to Dingzhou by the way to unearth the stolen goods he has privately hidden. out."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing replied.

Xuan Shijing went out of the palace and rode back directly to Dongshan County. After being away from home for such a long time, she naturally had to go home first to have a look, and to report that she was safe first.

Zhuangzi has changed a lot now, and is much more prosperous than before Xuan Shijing left. It has rained a lot in Chang'an in recent days, and the water level of the tributaries of the Wei River is also full and tight, and many of them flow into Dongshan Lake. A wharf has been built on the shore, and many merchants' goods enter the tributary from the Weishui River, enter Dongshan Lake, rest and unload the goods on the wharf, and transfer them to Chang'an, or send them to the warehouse in Dongshan County.

Most of the fangs and markets on the Zhuangzi are also open, and they are very lively. After the autumn harvest, the farmers on the Zhuangzi have cleaned up their fields and are idle. The strong men in the family will go to the wharf to find a job and earn some wages. Have a good year.

After the opening of the square market on the Zhuangzi, the households on the Zhuangzi became richer with the naked eye. Some merchants opened stores and settled down here, and the economic benefits they brought were also extraordinary. It was this job that created a large number of jobs. , and with the completion of the wharf, the number of workers on the wharf is increasing day by day, which just gives idle farmers more opportunities to make money.
