Datang first village

For modern people, the experiment of throwing an iron ball means that elementary school students already know that weight does not represent the speed of falling.

Before the iron ball drop test, Wu Zhao received a reply from Li Yuanxing.

Especially seeing the jade pendant, Wu Zhao felt the strong support from Li Yuanxing.

Iron balls are not important, important knowledge, and the belief that practice is the truth.

As expected, the two iron balls fell to the ground at the same time. After three consecutive experiments, the result was still the same.Lu Chengqing had a deep feeling, so he wrote a letter about doubt and practice that day, and sent it to the Qin Palace and Tianying Pavilion at the same time, and also sent a special record to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Because it's not official business, Li Er probably only had the chance to see it when he was free.

Li Yuanxing's plan to go to Chang'an was unexpectedly cancelled.

Cui Dunli held a hundred copies of the watch. Just seeing the number of these watches, Li Yuanxing's first reaction was, there is trouble!

Sitting in the small living room, Cui Dunli didn't say what the watch was, but just pushed the watch in front of Li Yuanxing, and divided it into six piles. There was an extra note beside each pile, which seemed to be written by Cui Dunli himself.

Li Yuanxing's hand had already reached for the note, and after hesitating, he picked up the watch directly.

"This is a refusal. He Dongdao is not willing to pay the king to help them face the locust plague." Li Yuanxing put it down after finishing speaking, then turned a book from another pile, looked at it and said: "The locust plague is a Natural disasters cannot be done by manpower. His Royal Highness, Chang'an, is naturally safe, but our Hebei Road is powerless to fight against natural disasters."

Cui Dunli watched with a blank expression, listening to Li Yuanxing reading the watch to himself.

In short, these more than 100 forms all refused to prevent the locust plague.

After Li Yuanxing finished reading, he said to Cui Dunli: "Your heart is confused. Judging from the five notes you wrote, you have not seen the essence of this matter."

"Please advise, Your Highness!"

"First, they are afraid. As written in these charts, the plague of locusts is a natural disaster, a punishment from heaven on earth, and manpower against heaven is what they are afraid of. This king does not blame them, because they are ignorant. But this king I will still save them, and we will talk about how to save them later!"

When Li Yuanxing said this, Cui Dunli also said: "Your Highness, they are still afraid of soldiers making trouble!"

"Have the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ever made trouble?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Yes, it happened in Liangzhou. Seven women were humiliated, 41 shops were damaged, and a wealthy family was framed for colluding with the King of Changle. No one was hurt in the family, but they took out [-] yuan!" Cui Dunli said a few times. This sentence turned Li Yuanxing's face pale when he said it on the spot.

Cui Dunli didn't seem to notice Li Yuanxing's expression.

"Your Highness, Li Daozong knows, and he lost [-] guan of the [-] guan. Four thousand guan of this money actually fell into the Qin Palace. You can check the account. Last time, the distribution of Yantian in the first month Li, the salt field is your design, you must know how soon you can produce salt and in what month you will never produce salt!"

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, but was thinking about the information about Li Daozong.

Li Yuanxing remembered that in the original history, Li Daozong was demoted because of corruption in the 12th year of Zhenguan.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish!"

"Your Highness's words are reasonable, but I also have something to say. The guards of Prince Qin's Mansion will never commit such a thing. It's not because of military regulations, but because they don't need it!"

"continue!"

Li Yuanxing became interested, and motioned Cui Dunli to sit down: "Today I chat with you, whatever you say is fine!"

This is the second time that Li Yuanxing no longer calls himself the king.

Noticing this change, Cui Dunli clasped his hands and sat on Li Yuanxing's lower chair, then pointed at Lu Maofeng: "Vice General Lu, let Your Highness listen!"

"I said, won't you be beaten?"

"Bullshit!" Li Yuanxing cursed with a smile.

"Success, let's say it. If I were in the cold, I would grab it too. And I would grab more. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live!"

Lu Maofeng's words aroused Li Yuanxing's interest, and he signaled Lu Maofeng to continue.

"Your Highness, General Li brought five hundred personal guards. These are his family generals. Can these people die for him for nothing? Of course they can't. They will be rewarded afterwards. He asked Fengzhou to borrow troops. Even if it is done, the one who sent the troops will give a reward. Therefore, I think that defrauding the rich man must be done!"

Li Yuanxing nodded. It wasn't the first day for him to study history.

These questions, when he thinks about them now, make sense.It is impossible for Fengzhou soldiers to help you fight for no reason.

In the modern age of later generations, if I ask people to fight, I still have to have hard money, and then I invite people to drink and eat.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing also understood: "Copy Changle King's money, he dare not touch a single penny, this is to be handed over to the state treasury, if you play tricks on this, my brother will be unhappy!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Cui Dunli echoed.

"Let's talk about humiliating a few women. It's an evil thing that made him recite it. Your Highness believes in a certain kind, and there is always a reason. A slap can't make a sound. A soldier who eats food, as long as he is not defeated and turned into a disorderly soldier, I can't do the thing of breaking the door and humiliating people. At most, I didn't settle the bill with the dark hall!"

Hearing what Lu Maofeng said, Li Yuanxing smiled.

Then he asked again: "What about the damaged shop, what do you say!"

"There is no Liangzhou, it's all based on guesswork."

"Just say it!" Li Yuanxing urged again.

"Half of this matter may have been done by soldiers fleeing from Liangzhou, and the other half was done by breaking in while chasing people. In the end, it is normal for some hands and feet to be dirty!"

Li Yuanxing was very satisfied with Lu Maofeng's explanation.

Cui Dunli was also very satisfied, because Lu Maofeng had followed Li Yuanxing for a long time, so he knew what to say and what to say from a different angle.Even if it's all the truth, there are still clever ways to say it.

"Then, why didn't the guards of Prince Qin's mansion mess up?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

"Your Highness, the same sentence, this has nothing to do with military regulations or anything. There are strict orders in the holy order. There are military regulations for three killings, seven beheadings, eighteen sticks and 36 lashes. It is said that the military regulations require thousands of sticks and several heads beheaded for the matter of Liangzhou. It's nothing, but even if you are beheaded and beaten with a stick, you still have to do what you have to do."

Li Yuanxing heard what Lu Maofeng said, and he probably had something to say.

In front of Li Yuanxing, Lu Maofeng didn't dare to show off, and said directly: "Your Highness, it's just a military salary."

"This king understands!"

When you serve as a soldier, if you can’t get enough to eat and can’t support your wife and children, who will work for you?Who will keep the military rules for you?

"One more time, Your Highness is going to hit me later, so be gentle!" Lu Maofeng said without waiting for Li Yuanxing to urge him: "Your Highness, the Luoyang matter, You Wuwei sent troops. They eat from the Qin Palace. The food was paid by the Prince of Qin’s mansion. Moreover, His Highness is very kind to You Wuwei. So even if they are suffering and hungry, they will not mess around. It's also fleshy, and things have come to this point, no matter how hard they are this time, they will not touch the people of Luoyang for a penny, and in the future, the soldiers of Youwuwei will be very honest in Luoyang!"

"It's soldiers from the Guards!" Li Yuanxing said with emotion.

Cui Dunli said at this time: "The guards of Prince Qin's Mansion are from the Twelve Guards!"

Li Yuanxing patted his forehead lightly, feeling a little headache.

If there is no law, there will be many people, not to mention it is a helpless move. Let me ask myself what should I do if I switch to Li Daozong's point of view?

You can use your face to ask someone to do something and help you once.So what about the next time, Toyosu's soldiers are not in the slightest, will you help me next time?

Li Yuanxing is not a purely moral gentleman, he is a real person.

"Your Highness, the states and counties are unwilling to fight against the locust plague in advance. The last reason is that they can't afford so much money. And they can't be like Huazhou, which has the Ministry of Households in advance and pays it back slowly after the harvest, so This is also a reason for rejection!"

After hearing this, Li Yuanxing understood in his heart that in fact, whether it is soldiers or civilians, it is all because of poverty!

"Old Cui, you write a letter to Li Daozong, telling him that the king promised him some money from Yantian, and let him use it freely. Now tell him, it will be more than half. In addition to his soldiers, Li Xiaogong is also in Qingzhou. The soldiers will feed them, and then give Lao Cheng some salt."

After listening to Li Yuanxing's instructions, Cui Dunli immediately understood.

"Your Highness, you mean strict military regulations?"

"Do you think it's feasible?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

Cui Dunli lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded, and shook his head again: "Your Highness, let me think over this matter. If Your Highness allows, I would like to communicate with all the generals guarding the Qin Palace. I think that there are There is also wool and milk powder. There will soon be cotton in the northwest, mountain products in the northeast for trade, and salt in the east. Money is enough, but the difference is only one degree.”

"Are you afraid that they will take the opportunity to break the rules?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

"Your Highness, this is one of them. Another point is, what will the guarding generals outside the Qin Palace think. The third is, what will the twelve guards think." Cui Dunli said very directly, without going around in circles.

Li Yuanxing understood, this matter is not a trivial matter, nor is it a simple matter.

"Thank you for your hard work on this matter. You still have to worry about the finishing work of the iron and steel workshop. Regarding the locust plague, let me think about it again." Li Yuanxing suddenly discovered that there are many hidden dangers in Datang. It's starting to pop up.

"This is what I should do. I will discuss with Wei Changshi first." Cui Dunli bowed respectfully.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "If necessary, the Qin Palace will make up for the military salary of the Twelve Guards. But first, we must pay enough money from the Ministry of Accounts, and we must not let these stingy guys from the Ministry of Accounts go!"

Cui Dunli smiled, gave a salute and stepped back.

Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng again: "Run errands for the king and tell those little fellows in the Staff Council. Their affairs will be postponed!" (To be continued.)
