Datang first village

Chapter 388 This Is Just the Beginning [Part 1]

It has been several days since the incident of returning home, and the embankment in Luoyang has been temporarily reinforced.

"Uncle Wuhuang, this is the plan sent by the river engineer. It is not suitable to build the embankment now. There will be rain in summer and the water level is high. It is recommended to rebuild this section in winter, and there is no farm work in winter, so there is enough labor. It can be used!" Li Chengqian stood at the bottom and reported.

Li Yuanxing just nodded slightly, which was regarded as approval.

"His Royal Highness, the fields that have been flooded have been drained in a timely manner. Except for the 1 mu closest to the river, which will have no harvest, the rest of the fields will have reduced yields, but not too much. Today will definitely not be a bumper harvest. There should be tax exemptions for catastrophes." , Is it the last request for tax exemption for Henan? Please show it to His Royal Highness King Qin!" Chang Sun Chong was reporting, secretly looking at Li Yuanxing's face.

"Tax reduction!" Li Yuanxing tapped lightly on the table in front of him, thinking.

Changsun Chong said again: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, you should reduce taxes so that the people of Luoyang can feel the court's grace!"

"On the seal, I will say what the king wants, no tax reduction. The agricultural tax collected in the summer will be collected in the autumn, and there is no need to explain to the people. Just say that the seal is made by the king. What to plant after the summer harvest, I don't care. The king has his own arrangements. There is no need to discuss it any further!" Li Yuanxing made a decision and did not even allow further discussion of this issue.

Chang Sun Chong could only respond and step aside.

"Your Highness, Luoyang has a backlog of thousands of Xihang merchants, and the price of the warehouse has tripled. The docks must be repaired urgently. Right now, only less than [-]% of the original docks can ship!"

"Go and arrange the rhythm of loading and unloading goods. The king has seen the docks, and there is no problem in doubling the capacity. After repairing a few more docks, we can restore the previous capacity with proper arrangements. The most severely damaged docks , Waiting for the materials from Chang'an, in winter, spend a whole winter building a huge dock!"

Cui Yujie bowed and saluted: "Understood, can we transfer [-] sergeants to maintain order at the pier!"

"That's it!"

After arranging the little fellows of the Staff Council, Li Yuanxing went to Qu Tutong's residence again.

Qu Tutong still couldn't get out of bed, his body was so weak that he needed help even if he wanted to sit up.

"Your Highness, transfer my son to Liaodong!" Qu Tutong said while holding Li Yuanxing's hand after dismissing the servants.

"Why?"

"They are too straightforward. They know something about Luoyang, but they can't compete with those civil officials. And I, Qu Tu, are military generals, so I am not suitable for civil management." Yin Qi, such words are not casually said by a general.If you have a grudge, you have to avenge yourself.

Even if Qu Tutong didn't say anything, Li Yuanxing knew what happened here in Luoyang.

"Stay here, the king will keep it!" Li Yuanxing made a promise, and it was a very formal promise.

"Let them fly by themselves, and His Highness will keep it for a while. Don't tell me that their children and grandchildren are not capable? Go to Liaodong, where a general should do what a general should do, ride a horse, and expand the territory for the Great Tang. What's more, I Qu Tu The ancestors of my family lived there in Liaodong, so this can be regarded as a return to the hometown!"

Qu Tutong spoke slowly, observing Li Yuanxing's reaction all the time.

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing sighed: "How about letting them follow Lao Cheng? If they have enough merits, I will let them take charge of a state."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Tutong shook Li Yuanxing's hand vigorously.

Li Yuanxing patted the back of Qu Tutong's hand: "Old General Qu, please feel at ease to recuperate, and I will come to visit you tomorrow!"

"Your Highness has a lot of work to do, so I can't afford not to come every day!"

"Let's rest in peace!"

After leaving Qu Tutong's house, Li Yuanxing and Sun Laodao met in the garden outside the house: "Old Sun, are you powerless to return to heaven?"

"Up to 20 days. Even if there is a miracle, it will only exceed 30 days. The medicine and stone are already weak." Sun Laodao also sighed softly. Besides seeing through life and death, Qu Tutong can be regarded as the pillar of the country.

Li Yuanxing also understood, nodded and said: "Old Sun, go back to Chang'an tomorrow. By the way, pass me a seal for this king, and ask old general Qu for a seal. This king wants to be a founding father!"

"Is this a mourning?"

"No, this is a recognition of his years of fighting for the Tang Dynasty, so the sealing must be completed while he is alive. You only need to be responsible for bringing the seal back, and Cui Dunli will take care of the rest."

After Li Yuanxing gave his orders, Sun Laodao just nodded.

The next day, Li Yuanxing personally sent Sun Laodao out of the city, and arranged for sixteen personal guards of the Qin Palace to return to Chang'an together.Sun Laodao was wearing a badge for Qu Tutong's request to be sealed, while the sixteen knights were troops transfer orders. Li Yuanxing asked Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda to set off immediately and Liaodong to change defenses.

Yaozhou was handed over to Yuchi Gong for guarding.

At the same time, Li Yuanxing also gave Li Er a seal, requesting that Li Zhengbao be transferred to Luoyang, and the old wolf be named a general, and Li Zhengbao's deputy as a fourth-rank military officer.Li Zhengbao can choose [-] military officers to come to Luoyang together among Shuofang's surrendered generals, and at the same time request to re-select Luoyang Fu Shaoyin!

"Your Highness, Li Zhengbao is a general!" Cui Yiye whispered beside Li Yuanxing.

"Surrender, surrender is also available. Li Zhengbao has no foundation in the Tang Dynasty, and there are old wolves watching here. He can only die loyal to the royal family. This king thinks that he should not be dragged into a cage." Li Yuanxing said confidently.

Cui Yiye said again: "Your Highness should send a letter to General Qin!"

"No, if brother Shubao thinks there is something wrong with Li Zhengbao, he will naturally send someone over. Just handle the government affairs with peace of mind!"

Li Yuanxing returned to the courtyard after giving orders, and stood in a daze for half an hour in front of the garden in the courtyard.

What is Li Yuanxing concerned about?

Because tonight he was going back to Hyundai, and going back to Hyundai from Luoyang was not a problem, it was nothing more than a problem of greater energy consumption than before.What I really need to worry about is what I brought back from modern times this time, whether it is grain seeds or other things. Without Wu Zhao to make a list, Li Yuanxing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

And another thing to worry about is.

Who will guard that night.The old wolf is reliable, but the old wolf is still patrolling the counties at this time, especially Li Yuanxing asked to check the military establishments of the counties, whether there is any false preparation, and whether there is any problem of poor management.

In fact, there is nothing that people around Qin Wangfu can't trust.

But guarding is equivalent to a kind of recognition, no matter who you choose, it will make you think differently.At least it will be believed that the more trusted, the higher the identity.

After much deliberation, Li Yuanxing finally made up his mind.

"Yuyan, are you in the room?" Li Yuanxing gently knocked on Wang Yuyan's door.

"Your Highness!" Wang Yuyan had a surprised expression on her face, she never expected that Li Yuanxing would come back to the backyard during the day.In the morning, I heard that Li Yuanxing had left the city.

Li Yuanxing sat on a chair and signaled Wang Yuyan's two maids to go out first.

"Your Highness!" Wang Yuyan's tone became a little more nervous.

Li Yuanxing breathed out lightly: "Tonight..." Li Yuanxing was thinking about how to speak, not knowing what kind of reaction Wang Yuyan would have, but looking at Wang Yuyan again, his face was full of anticipation, looking forward to himself go on.It seems that when it comes to night, something special happens.

"Tonight, this king is going back to the Heavenly Court."

Wang Yuyan nodded. She had calculated the time, and it was tonight.

Li Yuanxing said again: "I hope that you can wait for me in the study at night, and I will come back after two hours. Although I don't need someone to guard me, I need someone to help me with some things, such as this time. When I go back to the Heavenly Court, what should I bring back. After bringing the things back, I naturally need to make a list."

Wang Yuyan clasped his hands together and put them on his chest, his eyes were shining brightly, and he just nodded vigorously.

"Silly girl!" Li Yuanxing smiled and touched Wang Yuyan's face.

How could Wang Yuyan not be excited.

In Qinwangzhuang, Wu Zhao was the only one who was waiting in the study when Li Yuanxing returned to heaven.Now that she has this qualification, does it mean that His Royal Highness Prince Qin single-selected herself, or will other princesses also have this qualification in the future.

No matter which one it is, it will make Wang Yuyan very excited.

Wang Yuyan followed Li Yuanxing to the study, first watched Li Yuanxing draw a square on the ground, and then heard Li Yuanxing say: "Remember, after I leave, I will be within this square when I come back. It will definitely bring back many things, so don't go near this box, so as not to hurt you!"

"Yuyan wrote it down!"

Wang Yuyan blinked her big eyes, becoming more and more cute.

"Yuyan, what do you think Luoyang needs most now?" Li Yuanxing asked at this time.

It's not that Li Yuanxing has no ideas, but Luoyang needs too many things, and what he can bring is limited, so he wants to hear Wang Yuyan's opinion. What does Luoyang need most?

After Wang Yuyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, he raised his head and said very seriously: "Your Highness, I don't think I need anything. I know that His Highness doesn't bring many things every time, so no matter what Luoyang really needs, it must be very large." If there are only a few, it is better to have none.”

"Continue!" Li Yuanxing was very interested in Wang Yuyan's theory.

Li Yuanxing thought about what to bring, but never thought about what would happen if he didn't bring anything.

Wang Yuyan continued: "It's better to help yourself than to help yourself. On the contrary, it is the rich counties and rich households who ask for help in Luoyang. The poorer counties don't have many requests for supplies. So the concubine thought, what is Luoyang? No need either!"

"Great, your suggestion is really good. So, what do you want?"

Hearing that Li Yuanxing agreed to his proposal, Wang Yuyan was surprised. He took Li Yuanxing's hand, not knowing what expression he should have, whether he should laugh, or thank Li Yuanxing for following his suggestion.

Li Yuanxing asked again: "What do you want, tell me, if possible, I will bring it to you!"

"I want..." Wang Yuyan blushed and whispered something in Li Yuanxing's ear. (To be continued.)
