Chinese dining table

Li Zhi was in the Songtao of Jiucheng Palace, reading a book leisurely amidst the sound of waterfalls, while the giant bear who likes to be wet spread out on the ground. He didn't know how big this guy's body would be when he spread it out. So thin that Li Zhi felt that he had treated this guy badly.

He rubbed his feet vigorously, and found that his feet were covered with fat that was as soft as water, so he snorted in satisfaction.

Zuo Chun tremblingly walked into the pavilion, staring at the ground, not daring to look at the scroll that Li Zhi had just put down.

Li Zhi said, "Yunchu agreed to your request, didn't he?"

Zuo Chun quickly said, "Without any hesitation."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not angry, it's their greatest blessing, this news is worth him taking you to the Western Regions."

Zuo Chun hurriedly said, "There is nothing wiser than Your Majesty!"

Li Zhidao: "This time Yunchu opened up business, what I see the most is that he has not reached any deals with any nobles, royal families, or descendants. Just like he said, this time the business is a carnival for the common people.
I also hope that the life of the people will be easier, so I can pretend not to see the matter of colluding with the prince this time
Because his original intention is good, and he can strictly follow his original intention, so I have to look up to him.”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi glanced at Zuo Chun again and said, "The land of the Western Regions is vast, but I also heard that there are many oases, and they are also fertile lands?"

Zuo Chun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty said that there are many rivers and lakes in the Western Regions, which are very suitable for reclamation."

Li Zhi rubbed his feet on the giant bear and continued, "It should be possible to grow cotton, right?"

Zuo Chundao, "Lantianhou's cotton seeds originally came from Gaochang, but the cotton grown in Gaochang is not as high as that in Wannian County."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Yunchu is a farmer who knows how to farm. Others avoid the advice of doctors in agriculture. I once thought that I raised a bunch of waste. I didn't expect Yunchu to grow good cotton according to the words of these doctors in agriculture.
In the future, when Baiqisi is in the Western Regions, he should bring more doctors in agriculture, and at the same time, the imperial court should also select more doctors in agriculture, and it would be better to have a doctor of engineering.”

Zuo Chun continued to nod.

Li Zhi glanced at the respondent, waved his hand boredly, and made Zuo Chun retreat.

After Zuo Chun left, Li Zhi said to Wu Mei who was lying on a brocade couch, "You can tell me, what do you think of my idea?"

Wu Mei sighed and said, "The concubine is afraid that His Majesty will incite those useless old nobles to go to the Western Regions for reclamation in groups."

Li Zhidao: "Isn't this a good idea?"

Wu Mei said, "It's not counted as growing cotton. You can also grow food, rapeseed for oil, and that stinky spice called cumin. Anyway, the land doesn't need money, and labor doesn't need money. The court doesn't seem to plan to collect taxes, my concubine." Dare I say it, within ten years, the Western Regions will definitely become a place where filth is hidden.”

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Anyway, there will be more and more things that can be transported from the Western Regions to Chang'an, which is a good thing after all."

As for hiding the filth, I hope they hide the filth outside the Yumen Pass, as long as they don't hide the filth under my nose, it will be a good thing...

Furthermore, with the existence of these watchdogs, the Western Regions will not be in chaos, and there should be no more rebellions.”

Wu Mei raised her upper body to look at Li Zhi's smug face and said after lying down again, "What if these people rebel?"

"If you want to leave the customs, you can only send the children of the family to go, and the head of the family is not allowed to leave the customs." Li Zhi laughed again at this point.

Wu Mei said, "So, since His Majesty is going to release Anxi, why don't you release Anton and Annan together?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Let's take it step by step. As long as Anxi has a good result, I will gradually let go of Anton and Annan, and make a move to vacate the cage and change the bird. In the future, it will no longer be Henan, Hebei and the southeast that will supply the capital. Now, it should be places like Anton, Anxi, and Annan.”

Wu Mei snorted and said, "The journey is long, and the cost is astonishing."

"As long as the
The original land is rich and prosperous, and the waste of long journeys is nothing.”

"The people, land, and wealth of the Nafan State have won the favor of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Is this the conclusion that His Majesty has drawn from Yunchu's incident recently?"

Li Zhi said with a smile, "Even if Yunchu is not doing well, the argument of making a strong country and enriching the people is still very popular with me."
Let's see if he can win again this time as before... By the way, don't bother him if you have nothing to do, and don't let people deliberately make things difficult for him, he's doing things for Datang."

Wu Mei heard the words, snorted, and turned around, facing the green mountains and green waters again, she was unwilling to look at Li Zhi's smug face.

Naha also didn't want to look at Li Hong's proud face.

She deliberately turned around and continued to pack her luggage. Naha was actually looking forward to returning to the Western Regions this time. The thing she wanted to do the most was to go back and see her mother again.

For this reason, she collected a lot of delicious food from Jinchang Fang that could be stored, especially her favorite bacon and ham, and even prepared two carts.

She also went to the canteen to learn how to make cured mutton, cured beef, how to make wind chicken, wind duck, and salted fish.

She felt that if her mother learned these skills, she would never be short of meat again.

If...if that fat marmot is still alive, Naha has also prepared a beautiful gold ring for it to put around its neck.

"After you go to the Western Regions, will you become a silly girl from the Western Regions?"

Li Hong pulled Naha's long hair and said.

"Women from the Western Regions are not stupid at all, but you are always stupid."

"I heard from the guards in the Eastern Palace who came back from the Western Regions that a piece of dried meat can trick a woman from the Western Regions into leaving with them. You won't be deceived by others just because of a piece of dried meat, right?"

Naha rolled her eyes and said, "If it's a handsome man who gave you meat, I might go with him if you don't give me dried meat."

Li Hong turned his head angrily and said to his personal eunuch, "Write it down, when I grow up, I will castrate all the good-looking men from the Western Regions and send them to the palace to serve us."

The personal eunuch covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Your servant has written it down."

Naha put her beloved purple dress into a wooden box, and said to Li Hong disdainfully, "The Western Region is very big, and there are many good-looking men."

Li Hong said proudly, "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor, I will do whatever I say, and I will definitely do it"...

Naha closed the lid heavily and said "Blowing the cowhide"

While talking, he brought a heavy small box from the bedside, put it on the table, and tidied it up one by one.

Li Hong came over and found that it was full of all kinds of gold hairpins, bracelets, armlets, clothes hooks and gold flower tines of various colors.

He picked out a swing with two big pearls hanging from it, stuck it in Naha's hair and said with satisfaction, "It's so beautiful."

Naha pulled the golden step from her head and put it in the box, saying, "I'm pretty, I know it, but I won't marry you, I'll be mad at you"

Li Hong curled his lips and said, "I won't marry you either. Anyway, I will marry a black-haired woman, the same as my mother's. If I marry you and give birth to a yellow-haired child, he will have no way to be a child." Prince, that would be bad."

Yu Xiurong listened to the two people's unscrupulous words outside the door for a while, then walked in with a sigh, put a beautiful red cloak in Naha's suitcase, touched Naha's thin face and said, "I don't know if they Why do you have to go to the Western Regions, there are beards racing horses everywhere, what should you do if you make a mistake?"

Naha also hugged Yu Xiurong and said, "We came from the Western Regions, and my brother also grew up in the Western Regions. Going back there is like returning home. My brother is so powerful, who would dare to hurt me?"
I still want to go to Daxue Mountain to see if my palace has been repaired, but I don’t dare to be as dilapidated as the East Palace, so I can only farm the land.”

Li Hong touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Let those slaves repair the palace better, and when I go to the Western Regions to visit you, I will have a place to live."

Naha looked at Li Hong and said, "I'm trying my best to do good things, just to see how pitiful you are, this time I will take the people from the Eastern Palace to the Western Regions to do business, and at least earn some money to come back and repair your grassy Eastern Palace, so as not to live in it in the future." You can’t even get a wife in a broken house.”

When it comes to money, Li Hong has no confidence at all. All the money in his fief is with his mother, and all the money allocated to him by the state is also with his mother. It can be said that even though he is now the prince of Datang, when it comes to When it came to the matter of money, Li Hong stood in the empty warehouse of the East Palace and sighed more than once.

This time he went to the Western Regions to do business, and it was Naha who paid the capital for him. Otherwise, he would rely on him to sell peppers, onions, cabbage, and cabbage, and he would not even be able to make up the capital.

Li Hong said proudly with his hands behind his back, "some people give me money, but I don't want it. It's your honor to borrow money from you."

Naha smiled contemptuously and said, "Who just kept rubbing the ground with his feet when he asked me to borrow money? Who promised to return the borrowed money ten times later?"

Hearing that Naha was about to take off Li Hong's face, Yu Xiurong quickly slapped Naha and said, "You can't tell anyone about His Royal Highness's use of money. You grew up together. A little money is nothing. In the future , there is a time when you beg the prince to do something.”

When he returned to Jinchangfang, the cunning prince disappeared, and after being flattered by Yu Xiurong, he puffed up his chest and nodded proudly, "Ms. I'll be happy, so I won't embarrass you."

Just when Naha was about to continue to satirize Li Hong, she heard a click on the opposite roof, as if something heavy had fallen on the roof, and the next door was already dusty.

Li Hong's originally mean face immediately became dignified. With a wave of his hand, four black shadows entered the dusty room immediately.

At the same time, he looked at Yu Xiurong who was also quiet and said, "I remember that the one who lives in that room is Monkey Lord?"

Yu Xiurong nodded and said, "It's Monkey Lord, but there is no one in that courtyard, and Monkey Lord is at Qiyun Temple."

Li Hong coughed and said to the personal eunuch, "Master is not here, I have the final say here, order Liu Yi to seal off Jinchangfang, I want to catch a turtle in a urn!"
