The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 290 Departure
"Marquis of Dongshan?" Deyi was surprised, then reacted, and said, "Really."

"Although Jing'er is still young and immature in dealing with things, Jing'er's intelligence is undeniable. Since then, the future is bound to be limitless." His Majesty Li Er said: "Since he came back from West Kunlun, I So he kept paying attention to him. This kid has a temperament of revenge, but he also cares about the people who are important to him. Sun Yaoting arranged for Cheng Chumo in Longxi, and when this kid came back, he would deal with Sun Yaoting and even The captured people were sent to Zhijie, so be careful." Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help smiling: "But it's not bad to have such self-knowledge."

"Master Dongshan's intelligence can't be concealed even when he was a child. After living in Longxi for so many years, he has tempered Master Dongshan's temperament even more," Deyi said.

"Yeah, it's becoming more like a loach. How dare you hide the case of Lushan Academy from me? Is it because I'm afraid that I'll kill Wu Junyan in a fit of anger? That's how cruel I was in his impression? "

"Your Majesty." Deyi cupped his hands and said, "It is indeed not a small crime to lose an imperial gift."

"This matter is over, and I don't care about him, but this time he helped Chengqian with the Liaodong affairs, which really made me look at it differently. Ma Zhou wrote me a note, which is One day, Ma Zhou was wandering around Chang'an City, and many wives of noble families in Chang'an set up sheds to collect donations for Liaodong on the street, it's really strange that these people are willing to put down their personalities and show their faces on the street."

"Your Majesty, have you heard about the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation?" Deyi asked cautiously.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I heard that my son came to me that day and said that I would transfer all the income from the fief to the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation except for the expenses. What is the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation, she also explained to me, speaking, Sizi has really grown up, and will share my worries." His Majesty Li Er said with emotion that his own Sizi would never It's not the little girl who clings to her all day long, and she's no longer the little princess who sits quietly on her lap to review memorials with her.
"Your Majesty, according to this servant girl, since Princess Jinyang is at the helm of the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation, it can be regarded as a help to His Majesty among the people. People in this world are bustling with people, not for profit, so it is a name, and Chang'an City's The honorable wives have such great enthusiasm for it, it is nothing more than fame, and what they do is also beneficial to the people of our Tang Dynasty."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "That's very true. I heard that this idea was also proposed by Jing'er, so I just said that Jing'er's future is limitless. If you teach more, according to Jing'er's temperament, you will definitely be Wang Zuo in the future." Zhicai, Jing'er was also present when the East Palace was discussing the disaster in Liaodong. In my opinion, most of the layout of Liaodong was brought up by Jing'er and Chengqian. This Jing'er, like Mingde, see The long-term is always the long-term, I am very pleased, Mingde has successors."

If His Majesty Li Er knew that Xuan Shijing's matter was only for the purpose of marrying his daughter in the future and establishing a good relationship with the old man in advance, how would he feel?

Early in the morning, Li Chengqian dispatched more than a thousand people from the prince's left and right guards to escort the [-] yuan of money withdrawn from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Treasury, out of the palace gate, and along the straight Zhuque Avenue to the Zhuque Gate. After marching out of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian ordered everyone to wait outside the city.

Xuan Shijing had already sent a letter to him, saying that the materials raised by the Jinyang Foundation and the money from the Yanlailou auction would be sent to Zhuquemen, where they would meet Li Chengqian and head to Luoyang together.

Early in the morning, Sun Simiao and one of his medicine boys arrived at Xuanwulou. They were escorted by two people sent by Xuan Shijing, and together with the supplies, they arrived at Zhuquemen and joined Li Chengqian. If they wanted to buy medicinal materials along the way, It was unavoidable that Sun Simiao and the imperial physicians in the palace would be needed. After all, only these doctors knew what medicinal materials were the most useful and cost-effective for Liaodong.

After waiting for about half an hour, the money from Yanlailou was delivered.

Li Chengqian finally set off for Luoyang with a large army.

Li Tai's foothold in Luoyang is a rather elegant courtyard. It is said that this courtyard was built by local officials in Luoyang when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty visited Luoyang. There are dozens of beauties in possession for Yang Guang's favor. Since the founding of Tang Dynasty, this other courtyard has been abandoned for a long time. It was not until Li Tai came that he ordered someone to clean it up and lived here.

In the hall, Li Tai flipped through the ledger sent by the people below, and said to Du Chuke beside him, "Brother will set off from Chang'an to Luoyang today."

Du Chuke cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."

"How are we preparing here?"

"Returning to Your Highness, in the past two days, I have ordered people to post notices around Luoyang City to raise supplies, but the results seem to be insignificant. Although Luoyang City is prosperous and there are many rich merchants, there are not many nobles here. , without the appeal of the officials, it seems that the common people don't have much enthusiasm for it." Du Chuke said with some shame.

"A call from the officials?" Li Tai smiled: "Old Du, if you talk about officials, is there any official family more rooted and upright than this king? Send a post to the rich merchants in Luoyang City, saying The king is in Yunlai Building, and he is having a banquet with them, and when the time comes, let them come over for a gathering, and I will tell them in person." Li Tai said with a smile.

"My lord, this is not very good, after all, your lord has a noble status, how can you talk to merchants?"

"Old Du, you have fallen behind. If you say that the Tang Dynasty is the richest, you dare not say that the merchants are the first, but the wealth of the merchants is probably unmatched by most nobles. Although the merchants are behind the scenes There are nobles as their backers, but how much do the nobles get? How much do the merchants get? The Tang treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can allocate only [-] guan to deal with the disaster in Liaodong. Putting it on the businessman is nothing more than the capital of the two families, Lao Du, needless to say, go and help the king arrange it."

Seeing that Li Tai was so determined, Du Chuke couldn't say anything more, so he just cupped his hands and said yes.

Li Chengqian set off from Chang'an to Luoyang, no matter what, it took four or five days. It's not that the marching speed was slow, but it was just that he was carrying supplies, which slowed down the process. Medicinal materials, so it is fast to be able to reach Luoyang in four or five days.
