Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 88 Please look forward to my next visit
"What do you want to do?"

Fang Yuan and Juzi spoke at the same time.

Juzi originally wanted to stand in front of Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan was young and reacted faster, protecting the giant behind him.

The state official who guarded the gate immediately realized, rushed towards Fang Yuan and the two, and stood guard on both sides.

"I don't want to settle accounts with you now."

"Where is that person just now? Where does he live? I want to challenge him!"

Xue Bowu put his hands on his hips and said loudly.

"There, count the third one from here."

Fang Yuan frowned, pointed in the opposite direction and said in a deep voice.

"One, two, three thank you."

Xue Bowu looked over and counted it himself.

Then turned around, shouted thank you to Fang Yuan, and walked over.

It seems that because the body has not recovered, he almost fell down.

Judging by the way he walked, his body seemed to be hollowed out, and he probably hasn't recovered yet.

"Fang Yuan, he...isn't he abnormal?"

Juzi looked at Xue Bowu's back with a strange expression.

The young man's reaction surprised him.

I thought it was to find trouble for Fang Yuan.

Unexpectedly, he was asking for directions to the two of them.

"I don't know, it's possible."

"Zheng Jiu, go and find out about Xue Bowu."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said uncertainly.

He was surprised that Pei Yinghua and others pleaded for Xue Bowu today.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu left in response.

"Fang Yuan, let's not look at the cement road, shall we?"

The giant suggested.

Xue Bowu is very powerful.

I just saw it in the governor's mansion.

It would be dangerous if he reappeared midway.

"Juzi, you are so old, why are you still afraid of a young man?"

Fang Yuan looked at him speechlessly.

Xue Bowu is powerful, but don't worry too much from his appearance.

And it's not that the two of them went out without guards, so there's no need to worry too much.

"Who said I was afraid?"

The giant was dissatisfied immediately, his beard flicked.

The two got into the carriage and set off in the direction of the cement factory in the west of the city.

There are very few workers in the cement factory today. They worked overtime last night to pave the cement road and rest today.

From the west of the city to the south of the city, there is a long, flat and spacious cement road.

It hasn't been done yet, but it has already taken shape, and it is estimated that it will be officially opened to traffic in two or three days.

"Meet my lord, giant!"

Liao Fengmao walked over, his eyes were bloodshot.

He yawned and looked like he hadn't slept well.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Fang Yuan patted his shoulder and asked.

"The road was only paved at Yinshi last night."

"After the road was paved, I checked the situation of the factory, and I haven't slept yet."

Liao Fengmao scratched his head and said embarrassingly.

He was just about to lay loose in the factory.

But just as he lay down, the security guard on duty reported Fang Yuan's arrival.

Now, in the security company established by Fang Yuan, the security guards are arranged to guard in each factory.

Ji Rufeng's work is also the same, the security company established by Fang Yuan is responsible for the security work.

"It's hard work, go back and rest."

Fang Yuan nodded.

There are other supervisors in the cement factory, so Liao Fengmao doesn't have to be with him.

Speaking of supervisors, Fang Yuan was thinking whether it is necessary to recall these supervisors and continue to serve as Fangfu's guards.

There are only [-] guards in Fangfu, eight are dispatched to the cement factory, and there are a few in other factories, which greatly reduces the strength of Fangfu.

But these are all trustworthy people. If you don’t put your own people in important places, you don’t feel very at ease, and you are afraid that your core technology will be stolen.

It seems that the guards of the Fang Mansion have to recruit some talents, and it is king to cultivate some talents who are completely loyal to themselves.

"Thank you sir."

"Oh, by the way, there is news about the coal mine you asked me to inquire about."

Liao Fengmao bowed to Fang Yuan, ready to leave.

But suddenly remembered, Fang Yuan kept asking him about the coal mine news.

Paving the road these few days, he was too busy, he didn't go back to Fang Mansion, he forgot to tell Fang Yuan.

"Say."

Fang Yuan suddenly became interested.

At present, the calcination process in cement plants and steel plants is heated with charcoal.

The temperature produced by charcoal is not as high as that produced by coal, and it does not achieve the desired effect of Fang Yuan.

And now that the weather is cold, Fang Yuan also wants to extract some anthracite from the coal mine for heating, after all charcoal is easy to be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

"Wudong Mountain in Yushe County is the whole mountain, but it belongs to the property of the Xue family in Fenyin."

"To be precise, it belongs to Xue Jiaoyan and Xue Bowu, sisters and brothers. Their father left it to them during his lifetime."

Liao Fengmao said respectfully.

Because too few people use coal in this era, it took him so long to find out.

In fact, coal in this era is not called coal, but coal or black alchemy, etc., and the utilization rate is very low.

"It turned out to be his?"

Fang Yuan looked a little weird.

I just met Xue Bowu today.

Now I have found out that Coal Mountain is his.

This is the first time Fang Yuan encountered such a coincidence.

"Master knows him?"

Liao Fengmao asked curiously.

He didn't have time to inquire about the situation of the two siblings.

It is only known that the Xue family in Fenyin is one of the three wealthy families in Hedong.

"Hmph, more than knowing each other?"

"Fang Yuan was almost hurt by him today."

The giant interjected and said angrily.

When he thought that Xue Bowu almost hurt Fang Yuan, he became angry.

Not only Xue Bowu was angry, but also Ji Rufeng and the other lowly businessmen.

"Presumptuous, how dare you disrespect my master!"

Liao Fengmao suddenly flew into a rage, his eyes filled with anger.

"This matter is over, don't pursue it anymore."

"You try to contact their siblings to buy them."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

What happened to Xue Bowu is over.

If he still comes to make trouble, then deal with it.

What should be done now is how to buy Wudong Mountain?

"Yes."

Liao Fengmao respectfully said yes.

But there is still some resentment.

The master humiliated his minister to death, and he did not allow others to hurt his master.

"Go back and rest."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

Hang out with the giant at the cement factory, and then walk for a while in the direction of the south of the city.

After feeling that there was no problem with the cement road, the two of them stopped walking and boarded the carriage to return.

Night falls.

Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Li Shimin receives an exciting news.

The battle report from Chang'an City eight hundred miles away.

"Your Majesty, Shuofang has taken it!"

"Liang Luoren attacked Liang Shidu, cut off Liang Shidu's head, and led the generals in the city to surrender."

Li Junxian reported excitedly.

This is exciting news.

"Good, good, good!"

"Confess Liang Luoren as governor of Qinzhou in the east of the river, and change the area around Shuofang to Xiazhou!"

"Order Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun to guard Shuofang. Everything remains the same. East Turks must not be informed of the news."

Li Shimin was very excited.

Shuofang finally won, and Datang was finally unified.

It will also be just around the corner to attack the Eastern Turks from the north to wipe out the shame of the Wei River.

"Yes!"

Li Junxian immediately agreed.

Retire to carry out Li Shimin's order.

He ordered people eight hundred miles to rush to bring the news back.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng were also here, congratulating Li Shimin one after another.

Since the 13th year of Daye, the Shuofang area has been occupied by Liang Shidu, which has always been the heart disease of the imperial court. After more than ten years, it was finally unified.

This is a happy event worthy of the world's great celebration.

"Shuo Fang has already decided, and the East Turkic war is about to begin!"

"Miaoyan, you buy as much grain and grass as possible in Liaozhou, but don't raise the price of grain."

After Li Shimin got excited, he analyzed the battle situation.

After Shuofang took it, it was time to launch an attack on East Turks.

Before the Eastern Turks had discovered this, they took it by surprise and wiped out the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.

"Yes!"

Du Miaoyan respectfully said yes.

"Xiangcheng, pack your luggage, we will return to Chang'an City tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin said loudly.

He has to personally arrange the next battle.

In the war with East Turks, there cannot be any relaxation.

When the Eastern Turkic Iron Cavalry swept the world, Datang suffered too many losses.

If it hadn't been for the heavy snowfall in the East Turks in the past two years, Datang would not have dared to start a war against the East Turks easily.

"Huh? Come back after only two days?"

"Father, can I stay?"

Princess Xiangcheng said aggrievedly.

It took two or three days in a carriage to arrive in Liaozhou, and I had to go back before I arrived in two days.

Not to mention the tiredness of riding in the carriage, but he hasn't had enough fun yet, and he hasn't asked when Du Miaoyan fell in love with Fang Yuan.

"Bullshit!"

"How can a dignified princess stay outside the palace for a long time?"

Li Shimin immediately said with a straight face.

"Father, please do as you please."

"I'm going to get married next spring, and I won't have a chance to play in the future, so you can do it."

Princess Xiangcheng came to Li Shimin's side, took Li Shimin's hand and said coquettishly.

"You girl, let go of the emperor quickly!"

"Miao Yan, you send someone to Fang Mansion to ask if Fang Yuan is asleep, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and say goodbye to him tonight."

Li Shimin was shaken uncomfortably and pushed her away.

Neither refusing nor agreeing, turned to look at Du Miaoyan and said.

Princess Xiangcheng was overjoyed and smiled.

If there is no objection, it is the default.

On the return journey tomorrow, it's fine if you don't keep up.

"Yes."

Du Miaoyan should be.

Let the servants go to Fangfu overnight.

It's still early, it's still Xu time, and I probably haven't slept yet.

Sure enough, as Du Miaoyan thought, the servants came back and reported that Fang Yuan was up, welcome them.

Fang Mansion and Li Shimin arrived.

"Boss Li, why did you go back after only two days?"

Fang Yuan was in the hall, got up after seeing them.

At this time, Hongxu and Qingxie were already boiling water to make tea.

The weather was cold, and the two of them no longer showed their belly like before.

"A happy event came from Chang'an City, Shuofang took it, I have to go back."

Li Shimin laughed.

He is in high spirits on happy occasions, and he is extremely happy now.

Sure enough, Fang Yuan's strategy was correct, he could really succeed in alienating Liang Luoren.

"Shuofang took it?"

"Hahaha, good thing, great good thing!"

Fang Yuan is also overjoyed.

Although it is certain that Shuofang will win.

But really happy to hear it.

Now Fang Yuan has fully integrated into Datang, hope that Datang will get better and better.

"So I have to go back, there are things I need to deal with."

Li Shimin smiled.

Going back this time, the next time I come, I will show my identity with Fang Yuan, and see what Fang Yuan's expression is then.

"Should be."

"Come on, please sit down."

"This master brother, please sit down."

Fang Yuan didn't ask questions.

Invite everyone to sit down, including Li Junxian.

Li Junxian didn't sit down immediately, but looked at Li Shimin.

After getting Li Shimin's consent, he thanked Fang Yuan before sitting down.

"Brother master, what is your name?"

Fang Yuan poured the first cup of tea to Li Junxian.

Today Fang Yuan has actually thanked him, but the one who thanked was Li Daye.

But seeing Li Junxian now, Fang Yuan still wants to say thank you personally.

"Li Junxian."

Li Junxian replaced the wine with tea and drank it with a smile.

"Li Junxian?!"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

This name is not unfamiliar.

There are many legends in later generations.

"President Fang knows me?"

Li Junxian put down his teacup and asked curiously.

He feels that he is strong in martial arts, but his reputation outside the country is not obvious.

Li Shimin and the others looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

"do not know."

Fang Yuan shook his head, his smile was a little stiff.

He picked up the teacup and drank tea to ease the embarrassment at this time.

Li Junxian heard Fang Yuan said he didn't know each other, so he didn't ask further.

"Inspector Fang, I'm here this time to say goodbye to you."

"The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be, but I will still come over."

Li Shimin smiled.

The eyes looking at Fang Yuan became a bit raging and expectant.

When we meet again, you kid will call me Your Majesty, let's see if you dare to be arrogant.

"It's okay, just come here."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Instead of Hong Xu, he poured tea for Li Shimin and the others.

"Hahaha, Governor Fang is really humorous."

"Look forward to my next visit."

Li Shimin laughed.

Take it as Fang Yuan's joke.

Fang Yuan smiled and said nothing, did not answer.

"Farewell this time, there is something else to tell you."

"Do you remember the Yellow River dam I told you about last time?"

Li Shimin restrained his smile and said seriously.

The Yellow River dams have always been his concern.

If the Yellow River dams collapse, the harm will be too great.

It may harm the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in several states.

"know."

Fang Yuan is also righteous.

Floods have been a problem since ancient times.

Even in the era of advanced technology in later generations, there are also.

However, most of the floods in later generations were caused by heavy rain or continuous rain.

There are almost no cases where dams such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River break their banks like the current situation.

"Before I came, I mentioned cement to His Majesty."

"After I go back, the Ministry of Industry should send someone over soon."

"Sooner rather than later, I hope you can provide personnel and technical support."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

The problem of the Yellow River dams is urgent.

It is as important as counterattacking the East Turks.

"Don't worry, someone in my office can arrange it."

"But I can't guarantee that cement will be useful."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

The dam of the Yellow River has a lot to do with it, and he dare not neglect it or guarantee it.

Cement is definitely useful for treating the Yellow River dam, but Fang Yuan doesn't know what's wrong with the Yellow River dam now.

If you don't know the question, just pat your chest to guarantee it, that is a very stupid way, Fang Yuan can't be that stupid.

"I understand, do your best."

"If, I mean if, if you're free, I want you to go in person."

Li Shimin said sternly.

No one can guarantee a thing.

Even as the emperor, he did not dare to promise to win Shuofang before today.

There is also the Eastern Turks who are about to attack, and they dare not say that they can guarantee that they will destroy the other party.

But Li Shimin hoped that Fang Yuan could go in person, because he felt that Fang Yuan was reliable and worthy of trust.

"There are too many things in Liaozhou now, and I have no time to spare, and I don't know how to control the water."

"Boss Li, you must not ask the emperor for such a difficult task for me."

Fang Yuan quickly refused, and warned Li Shimin.

Providing technical support is very different from going in person.

If the former fails in governance, at most it will face some blame and scolding.

But the failure of the latter is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and they will be imprisoned.

This is the case in the officialdom. Some things are obviously well-intentioned, but the result is definitely not a good thing.

"Think carefully."

"If you agree, I will ask His Majesty to restore your official position on your behalf."

Li Shimin thought that Fang Yuan didn't want to go just because he was busy.

Therefore, I still hope that Fang Yuan can go there and put forward generous conditions.

"Don't think about it."

"thank you for your kindness."

Fang Yuan still shook his head.

There is not much difference between acting as the governor of Liaozhou or being the governor of Liaozhou.

There's absolutely no need to take that risk.

"Okay, then I won't force you."

Li Shimin sighed.

But still a little dissatisfied.

Fang Yuan is his Yingmeng virtuous minister, he must get twice the result with half the effort, other people don't have that effect.

"Miss Du, today's tea is very good."

Fang Yuan changed the subject, not wanting to get entangled in this point.

"Fang Yuan, didn't you say you called me by my name?"

Du Miaoyan didn't answer, but glared at Fang Yuan.

During the day, she even agreed with Fang Yuan to call him by his name.

Princess Xiangcheng at the side suddenly became interested, and looked at Du Miaoyan with a wide smile.

Du Miaoyan's face became hot when she looked at her, but she completely acted as if she didn't know that she was looking at her.

"Ah, sorry."

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly.

He didn't pay much attention to this, and called out casually.

"Today, five aristocratic families approached me to order tea."

"I've recorded it in the ledger, and I'll send it to you if you need to check it."

"They only gave a deposit, and the balance will be paid after delivery. I will share dividends with you every six months."

Du Miaoyan snorted and said slowly.

As she expected, it was not just Wang Zhicheng who ordered tea today.

Most of them order more than five hundred catties, and it will take some time to deliver.

"No, you can keep the account book and keep it. I trust you."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

The royal firm represents royal status.

There is no need to hide this little money from yourself.

And Du Miaoyan is a trustworthy person, so there is no need to worry.

"Thank you."

Du Miaoyan did not expect that Fang Yuan would say that he believed her.

At first, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a warm current gushed out from the bottom of his heart, and he smiled sweetly.

Li Shimin watched the whole process, feeling a little surprised, looked at Du Miaoyan, then at his own daughter, guessing that Du Miaoyan liked Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan is his Yingmeng virtuous minister, judging from the abilities he has shown so far, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely be an extremely human minister in the future.

If such a good talent is snatched away by Lao Du to be his son-in-law, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?

But after thinking about it, I now only have one daughter in Xiangcheng waiting in my boudoir, who has been betrothed to Xiao's family, and I have no other daughters to marry, so I can only let it go.

After sitting for another quarter of an hour, Li Shimin felt that it was time to go back.

"Inspector Fang, let's go back first, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin got up and said.

"I will send you off."

Fang Yuan nodded and stood up.

Du Miaoyan and others naturally followed suit.

Soon, Fang Yuan sent several people to the door.

"So farewell."

"Inspector Fang, please look forward to my next visit."

Li Shimin stopped at the door, looked at Fang Yuan, and smiled meaningfully.

"No delivery."

Fang Yuan pursed his mouth, a little speechless.

Li Shimin smiled even more, turned and left, and disappeared into the night.

　The first order is more than 500, thank you readers, Lao Zhou is true to his words, today is also a [-]-word explosion, and after tomorrow it will not be so exaggerated, but there will be more than [-] words, I hope readers will support a lot, the next plot will be I will think more carefully, thank you everyone.
