Datang first village

Chapter 406 The Proud Old Farmer [Part 1]

Liu Mingxuan has something to do, and it seems that the matter is not too small.

As Liu Mingxuan said, this is a chance, Li Yuanxing can't be contacted, so naturally Li Yuanxing's participation is not needed.

Li Yuanxing didn't go there in his hut, and waited until the time to return to Datang came.

"This is a gift, take it here. Ask them to write back to me!" Li Lanshan was helping Li Yuanxing pack his luggage, but Li Yuanxing kept looking out at the door. The living room was no longer his, and Wang Dajun had set up a camp bed there. No plan to move away from Li Yuanxing's house.

"Do you have to choose the living room?" Li Lanshan asked while packing her luggage.

Li Yuanxing didn't look back, he was looking out from the crack of the door, looking at the people who were still busy outside.

After closing the door, Li Yuanxing walked to Li Lanshan's side: "It's not that complicated, it can work here too. This is the same node, but it's not spacious enough here."

Li Lanshan smiled and took out a remote control, and the bed in the middle of the room slowly rose.

"When I come back this time, I won't bring any more things, or just use these two suitcases. The wooden box is definitely not usable."

Li Yuanxing nodded: "I'm leaving, don't let people see your feet for these four hours!"

"With grandpa helping outside, I'm fine here!" Li Lanshan was very serious when it came to business.

Datang, Wang Yuyan really guarded this time seriously.While the eyelids were fighting, Li Yuanxing came back.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Yuanxing appear, Wang Yuyan greeted him excitedly.

"Yuyan, if you're sleepy, you can just lie there and sleep for a while, it's fine." Li Yuanxing held Wang Yuyan's face in his hands, and smiled unnaturally.If Wang Yuyan is only one of Li Yuanxing's concubines, then Li Yuanxing is Wang Yuyan's only one, and Wang Yuyan will concentrate all his thoughts on Li Yuanxing.

Wang Yuyan would notice even the slightest change in the expression on Li Yuanxing's face.

"Your Highness, is something on your mind?" Wang Yuyan asked softly.

"What's on your mind?" Li Yuanxing asked back, and laughed to himself: "The two boxes are your presents. Keep them well and remember to write back. Don't let anyone see this box easily, let alone take it away."

Only then did Wang Yuyan notice the two boxes.

The two boxes seem to be made of cloth, but they have steel rods that can move.With four wheels, two of which are rotatable, the exquisiteness of this box far exceeds Wang Yuyan's imagination.

"Go back to the house and rest!" Li Yuanxing said as he pulled out the handle of a box and held it in his hand.

Wow!Wang Yuyan's eyes were full of surprise, but facing Li Yuanxing, she didn't know how to express this surprise.

There is an invisible wall on Li Yuanxing's body, not just Wang Yuyan, it can be said that it has given everyone a distance, but also a barrier in his heart.

At this time, it was already early in the morning. Back in the bedroom, Wang Yuyan put the two boxes beside the bed, and she wanted to watch them personally.

In the early morning of the next day, while Li Yuanxing was still asleep, he heard Wang Yuyan and the other three girls tinkering with two boxes, holding the instructions in the letter written by Li Lanshan in ancient Chinese characters, and studying them carefully.

In fact, they only need to ask Li Yuanxing to open the box immediately, but the three girls choose to research by themselves.

"This box..." Li Yuanxing had just opened his mouth when Wang Yuyan became anxious: "Your Highness, don't say it!"

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing was woken up by the noise, turned back and tried to sleep but couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply put on his clothes and went to the study.

Outside the bedroom courtyard, Lu Maofeng was happily guarding the door, and when he saw Li Yuanxing coming out, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, would you like some boiled Tang corn for breakfast?"

"Mature?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"It should be. Old Li sent it early in the morning. He said that His Highness likes tender corn, so he picked some and sent them over." Lu Maofeng said cheerfully with a smile.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "Let the old man Li have breakfast with the king, and prepare a serving of porridge!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Naturally, Lu Maofeng would not go in person, and arranged for a personal guard to deliver the message, while he followed Li Yuanxing to the study.Outside the study door, Lu Maofeng said again: "Your Highness, Li Zhengbao invited some former Luoyang generals to drink, and yesterday he whipped some generals!"

Li Yuanxing stopped: "Conquer, trust, integrate. If he can't do these things, how can he guard one side. I don't care if he does well or not, and I don't care how he is. I only need one result. You Do you know what kind of result this king wants?"

"Luoyang has fairy food, canals, and garrisons. Naturally, there is plenty of money and food, and it can be used as a warehouse in Chang'an!" After Lu Maofeng finished speaking, although there was still a smile on his face, he was obviously nervous. He was very concerned about whether his answer satisfied Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing just smiled and nodded: "If there is a chance, I will release you as a general!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Maofeng was ecstatic in his heart, and opened the door of Li Yuanxing's study.

Not long after, a servant brought breakfast, and Lao Li came with him.

After Li Yuanxing took a bite of the corn, he said to Old Li: "The corn is almost ready to harvest? This corn is a bit old."

"Your Highness, if you want to store grain, you still have to wait a few more days. The corn is harvested too early, so it can't be used as grain. It's a pity." Old Li also had his own thoughts.

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, the Tang Dynasty was different from the modern one.

Modern eating corn on the cob is more about the taste, rather than considering the value as food.There is only one reason, and that is the gap in food demand.

"How to arrange the grain collection?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

"Your Highness, the old man is incompetent in this matter. The harvesting of food is a major matter. The new Luoyang Mansion has not yet arrived, and there is not even a person in charge of the yamen. It is really embarrassing."

What Old Li said was true.

It's just why the new Luoyang Shaoyin took off so late. Li Yuanxing guessed that it was nothing more than two points. Come to Luoyang.

"Pass on Li Zhengbao." Li Yuanxing had just finished giving the order, and then changed his words: "Don't pass it on." The guard who just came in was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should leave or what, so he had to stay in Li Yuanxing's room with his head down. In the study, standing on one side.

Li Yuanxing took up a pen and wrote a warrant: "Old Li, go follow Li Zhengbao and tell him that Luoyang Xiashou is not doing well. This king is the only one who asks. Remember, tell him that what this king values ​​is the result. The king wants a full warehouse!"

Old Li Tou took Li Yuanxing's warrant respectfully, and put it in his arms carefully: "The little old man understands that there is one more thing to fill the granary in Luoyang with grain, and the little old man also reported it today."

"Say!" Li Yuanxing said lightly.

"Your Highness, I want to buy some Tang corn for some grain. The little old man is just an old farmer, but many grain merchants came to his door. Many officials who want to come to Luoyang must have been found." After the old head Li reported, Li Yuanxing signaled The guard: "Call Lu Maofeng in!"

When Lu Maofeng came in, Li Yuanxing asked.

Lu Maofeng replied: "Your Highness, there is such a thing. But for the Tang corn, Cui Changshi has already issued an order. Cui Changshi asked the whole grain to be stored in the warehouse, and the old grain was exchanged for the Tang corn. The people who grow the Tang corn can Leave a Tang corn kernel, small kernels, and cornmeal. When the next year is planted, the seeds will be sent again!"

Cui Dunli's arrangement was very thoughtful, Cui Dunli seemed to have considered everything that Li Yuanxing thought of.

"You are with Lao Li, and you also participate in the summer harvest. Grain merchants who buy rice, they can buy some food, but if they want to buy seeds, let their state officials come with official documents and exchange refined grains Ask the clerk to check the official documents of Chang'an, who will come to Chang'an during the summer harvest?"

After Li Yuanxing asked, Lu Maofeng gave a military salute: "Yes, go right away!"

"Your Highness, the little old man also leaves!"

Lu Maofeng went out with Lao Litou.

Outside the door, Lu Maofeng laughed at Old Li: "Old Li, what kind of fat rabbit are you pretending to be? You are in Luoyang City, and that official will not give you any face."

While the two were talking, a man in a light crimson official uniform rushed in from outside.

This person is exactly the official from the fifth rank who came to Luoyang from Si Nong Temple following Li Yin. Even if such an official position is in Chang'an City, it is still an official position of some status.

Seeing Old Li, the official stopped in his tracks, clasped his fists and said, "Li Weng, a certain person came here to ask His Highness about the summer harvest. Li Weng, you came here to collect grain!"

"That's right, Shangguan wouldn't dare to call him that, he killed the old man." Old Li quickly gave a salute.

Kill it?

At least the officials of Sinong Temple don't think so, and neither does Lu Maofeng.

Lu Maofeng didn't want Old Li to get entangled in this kind of issue, so he said: "Your Highness has issued a warrant, and General Li is responsible for the summer harvest. As long as your Highness gets the results, the warehouse will be full!"

"Then, quickly mobilize manpower, allocate and arrange!"

"Why don't we go find General Li together, and then make unified arrangements!"

Li Zhengbao is asking all the military officers in Luoyang to silently recite the regulations on rewards and punishments in the army, of which [-] are punished and [-] are rewarded.Most of the military officers in Luoyang are illiterate, and they memorize these military regulations by rote.

Those who were punished were beaten with whips and buttocks with a board, and their salary was actually deducted. For more serious cases, they might be demoted or even lost their official positions.

Li Zhengbao didn't feel guilty any more, this military rule was backed by His Royal Highness King Qin, who would dare to disobey it.

At this time, Lu Maofeng and others came in, and Li Zhengbao greeted them politely.Lu Maofeng's military rank is naturally lower than that of Li Zhengbao, but Lu Maofeng is someone close to Qin Wang Li Yuanxing. Li Zhengbao will be polite, but he won't have too much intention to flatter him.

But after seeing Old Li's head, the smile on Li Zhengbao's face increased a bit.

"Li Weng, you are always so free!" Li Zhengbao and old Litou met when they were in Qinwangzhuang. Both of them were surnamed Li. Although one was a farmer and the other was a general, they talked more.

Today, Li Zhengbao has become the defender of Luoyang, and his status has greatly increased, but he has even more respect for old Li Tou. (To be continued.)
