Man Tanghong

Chapter 324 The Three Wu Brothers

Li Xiuning put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Chai Zhewei who was studying, and then smiled slowly: "Why, this pavilion belongs to you alone, if you can come, I can't?"

Chai Zhewei raised his head timidly and looked at Li Yuanji.

Seeing Li Yuanji also looking at him, his body stiffened, his neck stiffened and he lowered his head.

The head was pressed very low, and it was almost stuck on the paper.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Sister, I was joking, where I can come, so can Sister. After all, there is no place in this world that our sister and brother cannot go to."

Li Xiuning didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied and snorted, then asked Chai Zhewei to play with Li Chengqian and the others, and stayed in the gazebo by herself.

Relieved, Chai Zhewei dropped his pen and ink, and after quickly saluting his mother and uncle, he left the gazebo as if fleeing.

Not a word was said in between.

"This kid is a bit unruly by Chai Shao."

Li Xiuning frowned in dissatisfaction.

Logically speaking, when a junior sees an elder, he not only needs to salute, but also calls him.

The juniors who don't call people seem a little defiant.

Chai Zhewei only saluted and did not call anyone, which aroused Li Xiuning's dissatisfaction.

Li Yuanji sat in front of Li Xiuning, and said with a calm smile: "It doesn't necessarily mean that there are no rules, it may be that he is too scared to speak."

Li Xiuning glanced at Li Yuanji, "Is he afraid of you?"

Li Yuanji smiled wryly and did not speak.

Can you not be afraid, I almost beat his father to death in front of him. At that time, almost all the fierce men in Datang were present, and no one could stop me.

"Then you will get closer to Zhewei in the future, lest he grow up and hate you."

Li Xiuning also realized why Chai Zhewei was afraid of Li Yuanji, and after a little thought, he spoke slowly.

Li Yuanji nodded, but still did not speak.

Li Xiuning said again: "What happened in the palace before?"

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "The matter has already been settled, why are you asking these questions?"

Li Xiuning said in a deep voice, "I just want to know why Erlang rejected me."

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, and told Li Xiuning everything that had happened in the palace before.

Anyway, Li Yuan didn't give him a password, and after Li Xiuning knew the details, he wouldn't harm him, so he didn't need to keep silent about Li Xiuning.

After hearing everything that happened in the palace, Li Xiuning's face was quite ugly.

"Have the prince and Erlang fought to such an extent?"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

Li Xiuning couldn't help but said, "Then we..."

Li Yuanji shook his head slowly and said, "We can't do anything now, it's not the time yet."

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "Then when is the time, do you really want to watch their swords and soldiers face each other before attacking?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Xiuning, and said seriously: "Sister should know what it means if I do it now."

Li Xiuning was speechless for a while.

Now that Li Yuanji ran out to plant the flag, no matter what he wanted to do, everyone would think that he wanted to fight for that position.

The more intense the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the more he couldn't be tolerated.

Because Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can't tolerate the existence of a third party who can pick peaches at any time.

"It's sister Meng Lang."

Li Xiuning struggled in her heart and remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "Sister, this is not Meng Lang anymore, it's about being concerned and causing chaos."

Li Xiuning hesitated to speak.

Li Yuanji did not discuss this issue with Li Xiuning, but asked about Li Zhongwen's recent situation.

This is a rebellious guy.

When Li Yuan wants to confiscate part of the power of the big officials in various places, and when Li Yuan wants to rectify the hussars' mansion and weaken the military power of various places, this kind of rebellious guy is easily influenced.

Maybe one day, like Liang Shidu, he will become the dog and horse of the Turkic people.

"Are you worried that something will go wrong with Li Zhongwen? I've sent someone to watch, Li Zhongwen will never dare to mess around."

Li Xiuning reassured Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji didn't say anything more.

The two siblings chatted nonchalantly for a while, Li Xiuning ordered people to bring Chai Zhewei's learning things, and left the gazebo.

Li Yuanji, as usual, continued to sit in the gazebo, reading books and reviewing documents.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall.

Li Yuanji sat in the gazebo enjoying the snow, and the three Wu brothers came hand in hand.

The leader was Samurai Leng, the oldest of the three Wu brothers, also called Wu Ji, and that was how he introduced himself.

"Chen Si Nong Shaoqing Wu Ji, please refer to His Royal Highness King Qi."

"Chen Wushi Yi, please refer to His Royal Highness Qi Wang."

"The servants and warriors let me see His Royal Highness King Qi."

All three of them were dressed in fur costumes, the clothes of Samurai Ling were the most luxurious, followed by those of Samurai Yi and Samurai Rang.

There is a big difference in age, but they are somewhat similar in appearance.

The most important thing is the figure, all thin and tall.

Li Yuanji nodded slightly, and after a few words of encouragement to Samurai, he smiled and said to Samurai: "Warrior, we are old acquaintances, right?"

Wu Shiyi looked very excited, and nodded heavily.

The samurai escaped from the official position and served as Hucao in the Qi Wangfu, and then he was in Bingzhou from Li Yuanji's predecessor, all the way to Yizhou Xingtai Zuo Cheng.

Roughly speaking, Han Liang is currently occupying the same position in Daxingtai, Shandong Road.

After Yizhou Xingtai was withdrawn, he moved to another place.

Now he has been transferred back to Qi Wang's mansion again and again.

"My father gave me part of the power of the water transport, and he transferred you here to help me supervise the water transport, you should know?"

Li Yuanji asked again with a smile.

Samurai Yi nodded heavily again.

Li Yuanji smiled and said again: "Then the matter of water transportation in our house will be handed over to you and the samurai to supervise. As for the samurai, just do what you did before and now."

Samurai Yi and Samurai subconsciously looked sideways at Samurai Len.

Samurai Leng previously served as Sinong Shaoqing, but after being transferred to the Qi Palace, he could no longer serve as Sinong Shaoqing.

After all, Prince Qi's Mansion does not have a yamen related to Sinong, nor does it have a corresponding official rank.

"I will give you an official position as Minister of Civil Affairs in Daxingtai, Hebei Province first, so that you can do things more conveniently."

Li Yuanji knew the way, and added another sentence.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the Ministry of Households in the future.

When Li Zhi was sitting in the court, in order to avoid the name of his father Li Shimin, he changed the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Ministry of Households.

The official position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not low, but the samurai Ling is now named the Duke of Xuancheng County, which is just right for him.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Pei Ju took the title of Duke Wenxi and served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The warrior bowed deeply to Li Yuanji, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

After a pause, Samurai Leng hesitated and said: "But I still like to handle farming."

People who have stayed in Sinong Temple for a long time have been used to dealing with farming affairs all day long.

So it was completely within Li Yuanji's expectation that Samurai Leng would say such a thing.

After all, the vast majority of people doing research are pure and straightforward.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "The [-] mu of fertile land at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain will be handed over to you in the future. But you must not hurt the people who have moved here."

Samurai Leng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded heavily with a happy face.

Samurai Yi and Samurai Jean obviously wanted to say something.

Obviously, he felt that the elder brother Samurai Leng was a bit out of place.

People have already started to praise you, but you are still trying to dig out riches and honors in the soil, aren't you cheap?
But obviously, the samurai has his own ideas. He may think that throwing wealth and honor in the soil will be more pure, eat more practically, and enjoy more confidently.

"You can go down now."

After Li Yuanji finished his simple explanation, he waved his hand to see off the guests.

Wu Shiyi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I and my younger brother help His Highness manage the water transportation, I don't know what to do?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Wu Shiyi, "Make sure that the boats on my house are unimpeded in the water transportation. Make sure that the people on both sides of the river are paid when they help the boats pass through some difficult rivers. Make sure that those who follow the boats in my house a convenient vessel and pay taxes on time."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji especially warned: "The wages of the boat trackers can't be less. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand will chop off my hand, and stamp his foot if he stretches out his foot.

The tax money of merchant ships is also not less than a penny. Whoever dares to lose a penny will be repaid ten times and a hundred times.

Of course, the hands and feet of the upper and lower officials have also been tightly shut.

Anyone who dares to join forces with merchants to make a profit, or to make money in the name of convenience, will be dealt with by me. "

Samurai Yi and Samurai Rang bowed their hands solemnly.

"promise!"

Li Yuanji said again: "Of course, don't deliberately make things difficult for anyone, just follow the rules. Whoever dares to break the rules, then you will deal with them."

In essence, the power of the small water transport yamen in the Qi Wangfu conflicts with the power of the imperial court's water transport yamen.

In order to avoid subsequent conflicts, it is most appropriate to follow the rules.

Although Li Yuanji looked down on the various rules and regulations set by the imperial court's water transport yamen, but right now he can't go out to rectify them in a bright manner, so he can only stick to them for the time being.

In addition, what he thinks is good may not be suitable for the soil of the Tang Dynasty, so he can first use everything in the small water transport yamen as a test field to test some of his ideas.

The good ones can be extended to the Water Transport Yamen in the future, and the bad ones can naturally be used at the minimum cost and discarded.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do. I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Samurai Yi clasped his fists and promised.

Wu Shiyi is the closest to Li Yuanji, and among the Wu brothers, apart from Wu Mei's father, he is the most capable and the best.

It's a pity that his life was a bit short, otherwise Li Yuanji wouldn't mind reusing him.

"Go down."

Li Yuanji waved his hand.

After the three Wu brothers bowed and saluted, they braved the snow and left Jiulongtan Mountain.

A few days after the three Wu brothers left.

The news of Li Shimin's victory spread back to Chang'an City.

No one in Chang'an City will be surprised that Li Shimin will win.

But as for how Li Shimin won quickly, the people in Chang'an City still wanted to explore it.

According to the newsletter.

When Li Shimin rushed to Qingzhou, the troops of Qian Jiulong and Yang Shidao were already in place.

Before Li Shimin led the troops into Gyeongju, half of Yang Wengan's more than 10,000 young men had already dispersed.

After Li Shimin led Qian Jiulong and Yang Shidao into Gyeongju, [-]% of the remaining half had resigned.

Li Shimin took down Yang Wengan almost without bloodshed.

And Yang Wengan was like a clown, he was gone before he jumped.
