This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 544 Does Volume Five Shock Your Father?
Taoyuan City.

After Changsun Wuji knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, he brought his people back.

Although it was unfavorable to start this time, it was not a loss for him.

It's just that there was a little trouble in attacking Da Ming's business. To put it bluntly, it just failed to contain Da Ming's business invasion.

But this does not affect the development of Taohe, at least, the future business of Taohe companies will not be greatly affected.

Don't look at those merchants who are frantically placing orders at the port, but so what?How dare they ignore the Taohe company?

For this point, Changsun Wuji is quite confident.

In the Taohe business, after Xu Jingzong finished handling the opening matters, he asked in a low voice: "Governor, what's so special about this Japanese caravan?"

Ever since Changsun Wuji's strange behavior before, he had some doubts, but it was inconvenient to ask at that time.

When it came to this, Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't know, but when I left Beijing, the queen wrote in a special letter and mentioned that His Highness should not get too close to the Japanese people. , I don’t know either.”

"The queen's explanation?" Xu Jingzong was shocked when he heard the words, how did the queen know about Daming in the backyard of the deep palace?
Looking at Changsun Wuji's secretive face again, he said to himself, you really don't know the inside story?
But since it was the queen's confession, he didn't say any more.

In the Tang Dynasty, many people believed that they would rather offend Li Er than offend Empress Changsun.

"Sheriff, those merchants are back." At this moment, Chu Suiliang came over and said.

They came back earlier than those businessmen, not that those businessmen dared to put on airs in front of them, but businessmen, things were indeed more complicated than they were in Daming.

Changsun Wuji heard the words, nodded his head, and said: "The next thing is left to you, the old man is walking around the city."

Even though he was kind to those businessmen before, but to be honest, he was also annoyed by these businessmen. In short, he made a note of this account.

"Then I will accompany the county guard to take a good look at our Taoyuan City." Chen Ding'an said immediately when he saw this.

"Then please trouble Ding'an." Changsun Wuji didn't refuse.

"This old fox, when did he become so clever?" As soon as Chen Ding'an left with Changsun Wuji, Inspector Yang muttered dissatisfied immediately.

If they could, they wouldn't want to stay on the platform here, wouldn't they be openly fighting against Li Chengqian?

After what happened today, they were completely convinced by Li Chengqian's methods.

The point is, every time they thought they had a chance of winning, it was only an instant, and their hopes were shattered. This feeling of powerlessness made them afraid to be an enemy of Li Chengqian.

Of course, they also dare not go against Changsun Wuji, after all, one is a future threat and the other is a present threat.

And Changsun Wuji, who had just walked out not far away, looked at the relatively prosperous Taoyuan City, and said with a smile: "Taoyuan can be as prosperous as it is today, Ding'an is a great contribution!"

"The sheriff loves you." Chen Ding'an was very sober, and he was not overwhelmed by Changsun Wuji's praise, "Taoyuan can look like it is today, the official is just doing his duty as a courtier, the main thing is to occupy Given the terrain and borrowing the east wind from Daming, if anyone comes here, Taoyuan will still be this Taoyuan.”

Hearing what Chen Ding'an said, Changsun Wuji looked back at him unexpectedly. He didn't expect that Chen Ding'an had such a side.

Thinking like this, he shook his head secretly, sighed, and then said: "Ding'an, the county guard's mansion still lacks a meritorious service, I don't know if you are interested?"

For Chen Ding'an, being transferred to the prefect's mansion as a meritorious officer was considered a high promotion.

But Chen Ding'an said apologetically: "Thanks to the support of the county magistrate, but the lower officials have little talent and learning, coupled with their advanced age, they have been unable to handle Taoyuan's government affairs in the past two years. I will not hide it from the county magistrate. This time, I have even resigned." I'm all ready, and I want to take this opportunity to resign from His Majesty, the court, and the governor.

It's a disappointment to the sheriff's love. "

With that said, Chen Ding'an took out the resignation letter he had prepared long ago from the armband, bowed and handed it to Changsun Wuji.

This was a plan he had early in the morning, and it could be seen from his early performance.

It's just that he didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would plan to get him to the sheriff's mansion, but he knew that Taoyuan made him unable to do so.

There is no way, the current Taoyuan Ling has become a favorite, he has no background, from a subordinate to today's rootless duckweed, how can he still hold the position of Taoyuan Ling?
Although he could seek help from Li Chengqian, after much deliberation, he decided against it. After all, many of his Chen family's nephews are now working in Daming. This is the best opportunity for his Taoyuan Chen family for countless years.

Therefore, even if Changsun Wuji offered him the post of meritorious service officer, he refused.

But this time, Changsun Wuji regretted it even more.

This Chen Ding'an is indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that he discovered it a little later.

"Brother Ding'an has a great talent." Changsun Wuji said in a rare way, "It's a pity, the old man got to know Brother Ding'an a little later."

That being said, he took Chen Ding'an's resignation letter.

To him, it doesn't matter what Chen Ding'an does, because he has already promised someone else the position of Taoyuan county magistrate.

This time he came to Taoyuan in person, in fact, there are also reasons for this, but before he thought about transferring Chen Ding'an away from Taoyuan, but he didn't expect that Chen Ding'an would be so good-for-nothing, and he took the initiative to let him out.

Although he intended to keep him later, but Chen Ding'an didn't know how to flatter him, so would he still pay attention to the thatched cottage?
Yes, that's right, Chen Ding'an's performance this time is indeed something to be made in his opinion, but it is not so amazing that he needs to pay attention to it.

After feeling that his resignation was taken away by Changsun Wuji, Chen Ding'an breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little disappointed.

Firstly, Taoyuan City, which has been struggling for most of his life, finally has nothing to do with him, and secondly, it is also the most despicable kind of psychology, that is, Changsun Wuji really did not persuade him...

When he just said that, he was actually thinking in his heart, if the sheriff is really kind enough to invite him, can the old man be selfish for once?
just one time.

However, Changsun Wuji did not.

Of course, he also knew that he really didn't have the qualifications to ask for three resignations.

After adjusting his mentality as quickly as possible, Chen Ding'an got up and looked at the busy scene around him, and said with a smile, "I've been working in Taoyuan for so many years, and I'm really not used to letting go of the burden this time."

"That's right." Changsun Wuji laughed, "However, Brother Ding'an's contribution to Taoyuan will never be forgotten by the people of Taoyuan, nor will the imperial court, nor will His Majesty!"

For a resigned magistrate, Changsun Wuji gave him a very high honor.

But in this way, Chen Ding'an completely gave up.

Speaking of it, after giving up completely, I feel more at ease in my heart.

……

At the same time, outside the north gate of Taoyuan City.

Yuchi Jingde led his own soldiers and galloped towards Taoyuan City.

Originally, he didn't intend to get involved in this matter, after all, he only cares about the military.

But the previous explosions still alarmed him after all. When he heard the news, he couldn't sit still anymore.

He has seen Datang's black powder before. Its power, not to mention that it can completely change the situation of future wars, but it will definitely affect the way of future wars.

As a veteran who has galloped on the battlefield for many years, he still has this bit of vision.

So, once he heard that Daming had also produced some gunpowder, he couldn't sit still.

Don't forget, the main purpose of Li Er letting him sit in Taohe County is to keep an eye on Daming. Although Li Er didn't say it clearly, does this kind of thing need to be said clearly?
Otherwise, Taohe County is not in danger of war on the surface, why would Li Er let him be a veteran general here?

"General, Taoyuan City has arrived."

"I'm not blind!" Yuchi Jingde said impatiently after hearing this.

When they got under the city gate, they would naturally stop galloping.

"Get off the horse, leave a few people to guard the horse, and the rest will follow the old man into the city."

The strong class yamen guarding the city gate saw the menacing men, and immediately lost the courage to resist, but due to their duties, they did not back down.

Yuchi Jingde didn't say a word, the soldiers beside him showed a token.

The gate guards saw it, and immediately bowed and said, "See Wu Guogong."

"Lead the way, this general has important matters to seek Duke Qi."

Hearing the words, the yamen servant immediately led the way, and said in his heart, this Taoyuan City has really changed. In the past, even the governor could not come once in a few years, but in the past two years, it was either the Duke or the prince...

When the yamen servant took Yuchi Jingde to find Changsun Wuji who was wandering in the city, Changsun Wuji was not surprised, and said with a smile: "I know you can't sit still."

"What's the situation?" Yuchi Jingde asked directly, because he didn't have the time to chat with Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was not in a hurry, he pointed to Chen Ding'an beside him, and said, "This is Taoyuan county magistrate, Chen Ding'an."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ding'an immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty has met Wu Guogong."

Yuchi Jingde waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business here, the general has important matters to discuss with the county guard, you can step down."

"Then I will resign for the time being." Chen Ding'an left after speaking, he understood what Changsun Wuji meant.

Watching Chen Ding'an leave, Changsun Wuji sighed, and said: "He is indeed a talent to make, but unfortunately, he is a little older, and he knows it later."

"Okay, don't talk about that." Yuchi Jingde said, "What's the matter with Daming's gunpowder?"

Regarding this matter, Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, and could only state what he knew at the moment.

He also knew that it was a big deal.

"So, this Ming's gunpowder is more powerful than my Tang's black powder?" Yuchi Jingde muttered.

Changsun Wuji said: "From the perspective of power alone, it is true, but we were not there at the time, and the distance was very far, only a rumbling sound was heard, followed by a cloud of gray.

According to His Highness, Daming is using gunpowder to open mountains and crack rocks. "

"Black gunpowder can actually be used to open mountains and crack rocks." Yuchi Jingde said, "But the amount needed is definitely not small. Hey, at this juncture, it's fine for Da Ming toss out gunpowder, but he still wants to let us know , what do you think His Highness intends to do with this move?"

"Shock." Changsun Wuji almost didn't think about it, and said directly, "Your Majesty sent you and me to sit in Taohe, what made His Highness feel, and my Datang used black powder to steal Xue Yantuo, so His Highness also felt Pressure, so, His Highness specially chose this day to show us.

Otherwise, when is it not good for Daming to open mountains and crack rocks, why should it be today? "

Regarding this point, Changsun Wuji had already had an idea.

Yuchi Jingde snorted coldly when he heard this, and said: "Just say you literati have too much shit! If Your Highness doesn't come here today, what will you say in the future when you learn that Daming has also mastered the technology of gunpowder?
Say it harbors evil intentions?

Now people have told you in a fair manner, and you are talking about this and that. If you want me to tell you, you literati are the most fucking hypocritical, and whatever you do is wrong in your eyes.

If you don't do anything, you still have fucking things to say, it's really difficult to serve. "

When Changsun Wuji heard what he said, he immediately exploded.

"It's you who asked the question. It's better now, are you blaming the old man?" The two of them had a rare and peaceful exchange, and it became unsettled in an instant.

Yuchi Jingde remained silent. He asked that question before because he wanted to see Changsun Wuji's attitude. Obviously, Changsun Wuji's attitude was fully exposed in his words.

Of course, Changsun Wuji was actually testing his attitude.

Although he knew it before, it was different then and now.

At least, after learning that Daming has mastered gunpowder, this attitude is different.

"This matter must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible." After a moment of silence, Yuchi Jingde said, "As for how to deal with it, let's not worry about it, shall we?"

Hearing what he said, Changsun Wuji glanced at Yuchi Jingde and said with a smile: "Then follow what Wu Guogong said."

He finally understood that although Yuchi Jingde's attitude hadn't changed, his choices on many things might have changed.

But this is also good, as far as he is concerned, he is actually unwilling to go to that step. If he does go to that step, it will not be a good thing for Daming, Datang or his eldest grandson's family.

"Then let's do this first. I heard that His Highness is at the port now? Since the old man is here, I should pay a visit. Duke Lao Qi will help arrange this matter." After Yuchi Jingde finished speaking, he glanced at Daming's face. direction.

Nodding his head, Changsun Wuji said, "It's okay, I'll let someone arrange it."

He actually knew that the reason why Yuchi Jingde asked him to arrange it was to avoid suspicion.

Otherwise, with his status and status as Yuchi Jingde, would he still need to arrange it?
After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji waved, and the followers in the distance trotted over immediately.

But Yuchi Jingde walked to the side, looked at this strange city, shook his head and said: "Hey, it was a peaceful and prosperous age, how could it become troubled?"

Daming's mastery of gunpowder is actually no big deal to him, but to someone, it is a shocking event.

Therefore, even he had to be treated with caution.

He only hoped that things would not get out of hand and never return.

As for Li Chengqian's purpose, he actually had the same attitude as Changsun Wuji, but it was precisely because of this thought that he was worried.

Deterrence, deter who?
Shock your father?
But if your father was so easily overwhelmed, then the person sitting in that position today cannot be him!
Thinking of this, Yuchi Jingde had a headache.
