Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 503 Departure
Perhaps because he wanted to start the journey earlier, Liu Bing's efficiency in dismissing the eunuchs was so fast that Gao Ming was speechless. In just one day, he sent more than 2000 people out of the palace.

Although the efficiency of the work has improved, the amount of labor involved has also increased. Among other things, even Shi Shu and Shi Jian, who are in charge of distributing severance pay, are too tired to stand upright.

But this is something that can't be helped, because it involves property, Gao Ming is not at ease to let others do it.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Many young eunuchs who got the money left the palace happily. It seemed that for them, being able to get the severance pay and leave the palace was something to be thankful for.

Two days later, when Gao Ming was walking in the palace, there were basically no eunuchs to be seen. Except for the maids who entered and left, there were only some burly female warriors and Qianniu guards who were in charge of patrolling.

For Gao Ming, this is something to be happy about.

"The product of eunuchs is the tragedy of the times, and it is not in vain for me to stop this cruel and ugly phenomenon in advance."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly felt a strong sense of pride that he had completed his mission.

This feeling is like throwing the Apollo on the moon and kicking the Shenzhou [-] out of the atmosphere.

One word - cool!

And those eunuchs who left the palace, they were actually quite happy.

Because from the moment they left the palace, many dignitaries were ready to invite them home.

Datang practiced polygamy, and in Chang'an City alone, there were many families with wives and concubines, so many masters guarded against their servants as if they were guarding against thieves.

The emperor can use eunuchs to prevent his head from being green, but other people can't, otherwise it is overstepping, this is no joke!

But now it is different. Since the emperor sent all the eunuchs out of the palace, it means that the eunuchs are no longer linked to the imperial power, so it is no problem for other people to use them.

Therefore, in the past two days, all kinds of carriages have been parked outside the Xuanwu Gate, and servants in clothes of various colors are anxiously guarding here. They immediately rushed forward.

"Hey, are you the father-in-law who came out of the palace? I am the housekeeper of Mr. Zhao in the household department. Would you like to come to Mr. Zhao's house to do something? The monthly salary is [-] Wen!"

"I am Master Liu's family member. My master said that as long as you go, father-in-law, you will get a monthly salary of [-] Wen!"

"The monthly salary given by my Master Zhang is consistent money!"

In order to "abduct" these eunuchs home, the attitude of these domestic servants is sincere and respectful, and these young eunuchs are only a little transparent in the palace, how have they ever seen such a battle?
Therefore, many young eunuchs got into other people's carriages in a daze like this, and were then taken to the homes of various dignitaries.

Li Shimin knew about this, but he always held a tacit attitude towards this matter. In his opinion, such a result was undoubtedly the best result.

After Gao Ming found out about this, a strange look appeared on his face.

"Why do I feel like it's like weeding out military dogs that are not needed in the army and are being sent to the market but are sought after by countless people."

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Liu Bing dismissed [-]% of the eunuchs, while the remaining [-]% packed their bags and followed Liu Bing to leave Chang'an, preparing to go to Luoyang.

When Liu Bing set off, Gao Ming sent him all the way out of Chang'an City. Before he got into the carriage, Gao Ming suddenly took out a booklet from his arms and stuffed it into his hand.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bing was stunned again.

"His Royal Highness, this is..."

Seeing Liu Bing's puzzled look, Gao Ming suddenly smiled at him.

"Old Liu, the main purpose of your departure this time is to find corn. The things in this booklet are on the way. After you find the corn, it will not be too late to look for it. I have written the plant patterns and navigation routes in it. .”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming opened a page of the booklet handed to Liu Bing, and then tapped a plant pattern on it with his finger.

"Especially this thing called potatoes. This is an important grain no less than corn. The origin of this thing is not far from corn. You must find it!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing glanced at the picture of potatoes on the brochure, then nodded.

"Yes! The old slave understands!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bing solemnly put the booklet in his arms, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"Then the old slave will set off. Don't worry, Your Highness, the old slave will definitely come back with corn and potatoes. Take care, Your Highness!"

"Well, take care of yourself all the way!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing nodded again, then stepped into the carriage and set off.

Standing outside the city gate, Gao Ming watched the carriage of Liu Bing and others gradually go away and finally disappeared, so he sighed a long time, then turned and got on his own carriage.

Originally Gao Ming planned to return directly to the East Palace, but when he was approaching the Xuanwu Gate, he suddenly changed his mind.

He opened the car window and waved his hand at the guard driving.

"Don't go back to the palace now, turn left and go to Duke Zhao's mansion!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the guard driving the carriage pulled the horse with a face, and the carriage immediately turned a corner and headed towards Changsun Wuji's mansion.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the gate of Changsun Wuji's house.

At this time, the door of Changsun Wuji's house was closed tightly. After Gao Ming got off the carriage, he originally planned to ask the guards to call the door, but seeing his empty hands, he immediately changed his mind.

"It's not appropriate for me to go there empty-handed, at least I have to bring something, but what should I bring?"

As soon as Gao Ming thought of this, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, a coir raincoat, and a fishing rod in his hand passing by him.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that this person is still holding an old turtle in his hand, Gao Ming just took a look at it, and concluded that this old turtle must weigh four to five catties!
Seeing this old turtle, Gao Ming's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly reached out to stop the fisherman.

"Hey, this old turtle, uh... no, this big brother, please stay!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the middle-aged man stopped immediately, and then looked back at Gao Ming.

When he saw the luxurious silk and satin on Gao Ming's body, and the armored bodyguard standing beside Gao Ming, his expression turned serious, and he immediately cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"This nobleman, why don't you stop Xiaomin?"

Seeing his respectful expression with a trace of fear, Gao Ming immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, don't be afraid, old man, I stopped you because I plan to buy the old turtle in your network!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately reached out his hand to take out the money bag from his pocket, then took out two pieces of broken silver and stuffed it into his hand.

"Come on, I'll give you the money, give me the turtle, and you'll get both money and goods!"

After speaking, Gao Ming took the old turtle from his hands without any hassle, and then carried the old turtle and walked towards the door of Changsun Wuji.

At this time, the middle-aged man in the coir raincoat also came back to his senses. Looking at the two pieces of silver in his hand, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he grinned.

"Hey... It seems that I have met a good person!"
