Man Tanghong

Chapter 871 Concubine Yong visits relatives?
The price may seem frighteningly low, but it is a high price.

Because before Changsun Wuji arrived in Jiaozhou, after the various chief executives in Jiaozhou caught the savages, they could only kill them and throw their corpses, and no one wanted to sell them.

Because the barbarians are too stupid and too lazy to be a good labor force at all. They are unwilling to do anything except hunting, fighting fiercely, and worshiping all kinds of wild gods.

Let them reclaim wasteland for farming, and they will give you a pile of tree-planting pits instead of grain-growing fields.

Among the Han Chinese who arrived in Jiaozhou for various reasons in the past, it was not that no one tried to persuade the barbarians to go down the mountain to farm, but all of them failed without exception.

So although the chief managers in Jiaozhou agreed to Changsun Wuji's conditions, they were all waiting to see Changsun Wuji's jokes.

However, regardless of whether Changsun Wuji can get his wish in the end, Changsun Wuji is paying for Datang, so his behavior is worthy of support.

Li Yuanji specially ordered Tang Jian to negotiate with Linyi's envoys and help Changsun Wuji buy a thousand buffaloes, which was regarded as affirmation of Changsun Wuji's work.

It’s not that there are no buffaloes in Datang, but that the buffaloes in Datang are not enough for Datang himself, and more than half of them will be lost if they are transported to Jiaozhou. It’s better to buy them directly from Linyi and let Linyi people take the initiative to help deliver them Come to the door.

And Linyi was also very excited about this purchase. The suzerain country, which has everything and everything stronger than Linyi, suddenly placed an order with Linyi. Delivered to your door, and bear all the costs in transit.

In return, Datang "reluctantly" agreed to set up a border city in Linyi's "no shit" border, which would be directly under the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhou Metropolitan Government.

The governor of Jiaozhou is now concurrently held by Li Chengde.

What Li Yuan announced in front of all the officials in person could not be stopped.

Li Yuanji originally planned to let Li Daozong serve as the governor of Jiaozhou, but Li Yuan said very strongly that the governor of the state level (referring to Kyushu) can only be concurrently served by the blood of Li Tang's clan, and no one else can get involved.

It is also due to the fact that the states in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty have now changed to Dao, and the area under their jurisdiction is smaller. Otherwise, according to Li Yuan, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others would not be qualified to concurrently serve as the governors and general managers of each Dao.

It is precisely because officials in various places in Datang are frantically recruiting labor from outside in order to govern the places under their jurisdiction. Therefore, although Datang has a vast land and sparse population, the labor force has been growing, and we are not afraid to open up too many places. .

It's just that these labor forces absorbed from the outside are somewhat useless, good ones can only be used for four or five years, and bad ones may only be used for one year.

For example, those who are restless, or those who have different intentions and are unwilling to work for Datang down-to-earth, the average life expectancy is almost half a year.

This is mainly because they are too ruthless to use their people, but it is not easy for Li Yuanji to issue an order to reprimand, and it is not the people of the Tang Dynasty who are tormenting him, and it is not easy to control him as a person in power of the Tang Dynasty.

Why, when you are in power in the Tang Dynasty, you still want to control the life and death of the Turkic people?

See you can!
As for the appointment of Dai Zhou as an observer, Wang Xuance and others as observers, it is also to let them serve as Wang Gui's eyes and ears, helping Wang Gui see clearly all the people's sentiments in Henan Province and Dongnan Province.

In addition, being accompanied by them can also show that the court attaches great importance to this matter. Even if Wang Gui feels that something is wrong, it is not easy to refuse.

After all, although Dai Zhou is no longer used because of Li Shimin, he is still a capable minister. Wang Xuance and others are Li Yuanji's promising next generation, Chen Shuda and others look good, and Chai Lingwu is even Wang Gui's student. .

Together they served as Wang Gui's eyes and ears and errand runners, but Wang Gui couldn't say no even if he wanted to refuse.

After the transfer order was passed on to the three provinces, Ren Gui appeared in Wude Hall with the transfer order as a representative, and immediately asked straight to the point, "Your Highness, is it not appropriate for you to send Wang Gui to inspect Henan and Dongnan Roads?"

Li Yuanji understood the meaning of Ren Gui's words, and it was not that he questioned that Wang Gui could not do such a thing, nor did he question that Wang Gui's identity was not suitable to serve as the governor of Henan Province and Dongnan Province.

Instead, I feel that Wang Gui is not qualified.

Generally, if one is to appease and governor the ambassador, an important minister must be sent, and if two are more important, then the Zaifu or the county king must be sent.

The reason why there is such an implicit rule is also Li Yuan's fault.

It was Li Yuan who often acted on cronyism and left important matters to the Li family members. Therefore, when encountering such a thing, Ren Gui questioned Wang Gui's qualifications.

Although Wang Gui is said to be a royal censor, he has only a little less power to speak in the court than San Zai, but in terms of status, he is not as good as San Zai after all, so he can't do what San Zai can do.

Li Yuanji did not stand alone, but said very obediently: "Then let Li Xiaoxie be the chief envoy, and Wang Gui be the deputy envoy."

Ever since Li Xiaoxie was sneaked out by Li Shentong and showed his face, Li Yuanji found that this person's ability is not bad. Although he is a little young and not mature enough, what he really did was to take Zhang Liang to the forest to be a savage. It's all right.

Let him act as the chief envoy, don't meddle in other people's business, just eat, drink and have fun along the way, he should be very happy.

The most important thing is that Wang Xuance, Chai Lingwu and others are all young people, and they have a common language when they get together.

When Ren Gui heard this, she immediately stopped questioning Wang Gui's qualifications. After a quick salute, she went back to the three provinces to draft relevant orders and documents.

As for whether Wang Gui would refuse, whether he would lose his temper, he didn't even ask.

The decision made jointly by those in power and the three provinces, not to mention that you, Wang Gui, are just a royal censor, you are a prince or a county king, you have to obey it, you can't refuse it, and you can't make your temper.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister will have to die. If the king wants you to go to the governor's place, how dare you refuse?

After Ren Gui left, Yang Miaoyan finally woke up. Perhaps it was because she was too tired to have a baby, or maybe it was because she was too tired to breastfeed the baby. After giving birth to her daughter Li Jiaoyang, Yang Miaoyan became very lethargic, and would sleep until breakfast time passed every day. Wake up later.

Li Jiaoyang is the name Li Yuan gave to Li Yuanji's daughter.

Although under Li Yuanji's "fierce" resistance, Li Yuan gave away the character "Xiu" that he was going to bestow on her, but the character "Yang" still fell on her head.

Li Yuanji was very dissatisfied with this, but he still didn't hold back Li Yuan.

Because the book that records everything about the clan's children is now in Li Yuan's hands.

Originally, this thing was controlled by Li Shentong, Zong Zhengqing, but Li Shentong was unreliable at all. Li Yuan hooked his fingers, and he sent the thing to Li Yuan.

"Alang, I heard from Lu Shanggong that you are looking for me?"

Yang Miaoyan entered the hall and asked while yawning.

Li Yuanji nodded his head, did not go around with Yang Miaoyan, and said directly: "You have been married for many years, except for going back to your natal home once when you were newly married, you have never gone back.

In the past, when you had no children, you would inevitably be criticized when you went back. Now that you have both children, are you going to go back and show your prestige? "

Yang Miaoyan was obviously stunned for a moment, looked suspiciously out of the corner of her eyes and said, "You want me to go back to my mother's house? You want me to bring Chengde and Jiaoyang?"

Li Yuanji hummed.

Yang Miaoyan said with a strange expression: "Is the three of us mother and son in your way?"

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain, dumbfounded, but Yang Miaoyan said quietly again: "If there is something wrong with the three of us, mother and son, you don't have to drive us back to your mother's house, you can just say it, I'm not What a jealous person."

Li Yuanji gave Yang Miaoyan a blank look, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, I think you haven't returned to your mother's house for a long time, I'm afraid you miss your relatives, and I want you to go back and have a look.

You used to have nothing to do, and those aunts and sisters-in-law who went back to you would inevitably gossip, but now that you have both children, you will not be gossiped by them after you go back. "

In this era, if the wife of a dignitary and noble family has nothing, not only the husband's family will gossip, but also the mother's family will gossip.

So this rhetoric makes sense.

When Yang Miaoyan heard this, her expression didn't change at all, she was still weird, her tone didn't change at all, she was still faint, "If I want to go back to my mother's house, when can I not go, why do I have to go now?"

Li Yuanji explained: "In the past, when you went when you had nothing to do, you would be gossiped about. When Chengde and Jiaoyang grow up, you won't have time to go, so why don't you go now?"

Yang Miaoyan was stunned and said: "Why do I have no time to go when Chengde and Jiaoyang are older?"

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I don't have time to take care of them. You can't take care of them when they are old. It will take you ten and a half days to go back to your mother's house. If they run amok while you are away, then you can't take care of them when you come back." Be pissed off.

Besides, I'm not just the sons and daughters of Chengde and Jiaoyang, you have to watch the others too.

What trouble did they get into, what trouble did they cause, and you need to come forward to mediate.

Do you still have free time to go back to your mother's house? "

Yang Miaoyan blinked her eyes and thought about it carefully, this is really the case.

When Li Chengye, Li Xu, Li Ling, Li Chengyu, Li Fu, Li Chengde, and Li Jiaoyang have all reached the age when people hate dogs, Li Yuanji has no time to take care of them, and it really can't work without her watching.

At Li Xu and Li Ling's current age, she needed to solve some of the troubles they encountered. When all the children were older, there would be more troubles and more times she would need to be involved.

She really couldn't leave all these children behind to stay at her mother's house for half a month.

As for going with all the children, that's unlikely.

Li Chengde and Li Jiaoyang belong to the direct line of the Li family. They were nothing when they were young, but when they grow up, going out is very cumbersome, especially when traveling far away. Not only do they have to use all the guards of honor, they also have to report to Li Yuan and Li Yuanji. If there is one that is not allowed in the middle, she cannot take it with her.

If any accident happened while playing with Yang's children, not only would she have to eat melons, but Yang would also be severely punished.

It's different now, the child is still young, he can't run or move around, either she is holding it or the serving mother is holding it, there is only the risk of getting sick, and there is no risk of accidents.

As long as the care is good, basically there will be no accidents.

Of course, just to be prudent, it's best not to bring it.

As for the others, they have no blood relationship with the Yang family, and they have to be respected by Yang's people after they are brought over. Not only will she feel awkward, but Yang's people will also feel uncomfortable.

So there is no way to bring it.
