The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 282 Perfection
"What do Deng Shan think?" His Majesty Li Er set his eyes on Chu Suiliang again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's opinion coincides with that of Lord Wei, but this time the crown prince will go to Liaodong in person, which may be a little inappropriate. Now that many envoys from the vassal states are gathering in Chang'an, at this time, if His Royal Highness the crown prince is not in Chang'an Is this unreasonable?" Chu Suiliang said.

"Yesterday evening, Chengqian came to see me in advance, and told me that Liaodong is suitable for his plan." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said: "I have to say, these people gathered around Chengqian are really good. There are some different opinions, which make me look at it with admiration."

"I would like to hear the details." Chu Suiliang said, cupping his hands.

"It is precisely because so many envoys gathered in Chang'an that the affairs of Liaodong cannot be hidden. Since they couldn't hide it, they thought, just do it openly and let these people watch. The bigger the movement, the better. His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Later, I thought about it all night, and with what Chengqian said, I seem to understand a little bit what Chengqian and the others want to do."

"His Royal Highness did this, could it be that there are other deep meanings?" Wei Zheng asked puzzled.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right, Xuan Cheng thought, how about the land of Liaodong?"

"Whether it is Goguryeo, Silla, or Mohe in the north, they are all my Tang kingdoms, but if there is a war one day, Liaodong will be the place of the fourth war." Wei Zheng said, and then his tone paused, and his heart skipped a beat. , seems to understand something: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"That's right!" His Majesty Li Er nodded very satisfied: "The layout, the officials of Chengqian and the East Palace, together with Ke'er and Qingque, are planning to deploy in Liaodong!"

"Your Majesty, the environment in Liaodong is harsh, and there are many mountains and dangerous places. It is very difficult to deploy Liaodong." Chu Suiliang said.

"Lord Chu, according to someone, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Liaodong Disaster to openly deploy under the noses of the envoys from all parties. With this excuse, no matter how many supplies are transported to Liaodong It's justifiable, and outsiders can't find a single excuse for flaws, but if the layout takes root in Liaodong, the most indispensable thing is these materials." Wei Zheng said.

"That's right, I let Chengqian do it this time, I hope Chengqian can give me a surprise, Xuancheng, Dengshan, I'm looking for you two today, in fact, I want to tell you two, This time, we must keep an eye on the courtiers in secret, don't let them do more behind Chengqian's back, if they help Chengqian, that's fine, I'm afraid that this time the officials of the East Palace and the Literature Museum will get such an errand and confess their jealousy Ah." His Majesty Li Er said.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang looked at each other, then they clasped their hands together and said, "I will do my best to assist the prince."

His Majesty Li Er smiled: "This time, Chengqian is really planning to do a big thing seriously. Even the imperial doctor of the Imperial Palace Hospital will be taken to Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing." Chu Suiliang said: "This just shows that His Royal Highness is kind-hearted and considerate."

His Majesty Li Er smiled without saying a word.

In the palace, His Majesty Li Er found Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang to escort Li Chengqian in secret, but outside the palace, Xuan Shijing had no time to think about who was behind the scenes, because the auction arranged in Yanlailou also had to It's time to prepare.

There are two large boxes placed in Xuan Shijing's room on the fifth floor. The items in them are selected by Xuan Shijing to be taken to Yanlai Building as auction items. Some of them are selected by Wang from the warehouse of the Houfu. Some of the ones that came out were donated by the wives of the various prefectures under the behest of their husbands.

"Brother Jing" Jin Yang, who had fallen asleep on the chair, woke up.

"Well, I'm awake." Xuan Shijing got up, and brought the warm object on the table to Jinyang: "You're hungry, I've had someone fix it a long time ago, I haven't called you yet, it's still hot. "

The things have been sent up long ago, but they are cold and hot, hot and cold, and hot again
"En" Jin Yang rubbed his eyes, sat on the chair, and put on his boots.

Xuan Shijing went forward to adjust the chair, turned the chair around to face the table, and there were two dishes and one soup on the table.

I was a little hungry when I came here, but when I woke up, my stomach felt more empty.

"Brother Jing, what are you looking at?" Jin Yang couldn't help asking curiously when he saw Xuan Shijing fiddling with the contents of the two boxes.

"This is something that is going to be auctioned at Yanlai Building tonight." Xuan Shijing replied, "It was donated by some dignified wives in Chang'an City."

"Brother Jing, what is an auction?" It was the first time Jin Yang had heard of the term auction.

"This is like when you bid for the opportunity to swim with Qin Bingyue at Yanlai Tower that day, the one with the highest price wins." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Will anyone really buy it?"

"Of course no one will pay at the beginning, we just need to guide it." Xuan Shijing had already made up his mind, and asked Qiandui to find a few shopkeepers to support the place below, calling for prices. With Qin Bingyue's guidance at the side, someone will naturally give generously.

Xuan Shijing made full use of Yanlailou this time, who made the two beauties surnamed Qin in Yanlailou never take care of the Jinyang Fund since they showed up at Xuanwuhou that day? Although it is said that it is to delegate power and not participate, and only pay money to earn a reputation, but if you don't participate and let others know, where does the reputation come from?

So Xuan Shijing planned to let Qin Yuxin and Qin Bingyue make good use of their "star" benefits in Yanlailou.

"What time is it?" Jin Yang looked out the window subconsciously, but found that the window had already been closed.

"It's almost noon, the people below have already started cooking and preparing to send to various donation points." Xuan Shijing said: "After you finish eating in a while, let's go to Yanlai Tower."

"Okay." Jin Yang responded.

The items collected in one day, together with the contributions from the Jinyang Foundation and the items collected by Li Tai in Luoyang, the rest is to wait for Li Chengqian to pass through Shandong and other places to purchase, and then transport them to Liaodong.

The imperial treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs contributed [-] guan, and the Jinyang Fund can take out [-] guan in cash alone. Don’t forget that the income from the Jinyang fiefdom, except for its own expenses, is all donated under the permission of His Majesty Li Er In the Jinyang Fund, although the time is still short, it is still a considerable amount, plus the donations from Yanlailou and Houfu Chamber of Commerce, as well as the fees paid by those noble ladies when they joined the association.

Although the current circulation of the Jinyang Fund is not only [-] guan, it is only for the Liaodong incident. It is impossible for the Jinyang Fund to use all its property to support it. The most taboo thing is that it must not exceed the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court. As for those materials, they were all donated by the common people, and it was also a kind act on the heads of the common people. The Jinyang Foundation is only leading the way among the people.
