Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 73: Make the bad people disappear

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement, and Ning Chun went downstairs after a while, but Xie Shufang hurried in.

"My lord, Chen Longshu is here, bringing with him twenty carts of supplies."

Li Yuanji smiled. This person was interesting. He was the closest to him, but now he arrived later than Feng Ang.

"Let him come over."

Li Yuanji was lost in thought alone. After a long while, Xie Shufang and Chen Longshu came in.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

A smile broke out on Li Yuanji's face.

"Nagarjuna is here, come and sit down. The journey is long, you can just send someone, why did you come here in person?"

Chen Longshu was still standing below, smiling and saying, "Meeting the king is a big deal, how can we let the people below come? The last time I met the king, I missed him so much."

Li Yuanji smiled even more.

"Haha, I was busy last time, and now I am also busy with land reclamation. If Long Shu has anything to say, just tell me."

Chen Longshu's smile froze when he heard this, and then he said with a sad and angry face: "Your Majesty, I came here because of the Nanfuzhou incident. The Luodoudong in Nanfuzhou teamed up with other people to prevent me from entering Nanfuzhou.

They have gathered together to cause chaos, and have called on other people to rise up together to rebel against the court and the king. Now Nanfuzhou has been completely occupied by these people. I hope the king can send troops to wipe out these thieves. I am really powerless. Under the pressure of the people, I have no choice but to retreat to Longzhou. Now I can only ask the king to send troops. "

Chen Longshu was moved by what he said, and even had a tone of tears in his voice, as he talked about how rampant Luo Doudong was and how helpless and powerless he was.

Li Yuan listened to these words without any emotion. The smile on his face disappeared and he looked at Chen Longshu with concern.

“I didn’t expect those flirtatious people to be so rampant. Don’t worry, Longshu. Now Lingnan is my fiefdom and you are my subject. How can I ignore these flirtatious people?

However, Lingnan is now poor and needs development to change. You have seen that the development here is effective, and development requires people. I will investigate this matter later. If these people really refuse to submit to the king, then I will have no choice but to send troops to destroy them.

Moreover, I heard that after you became the governor of Southern Fuzhou, you have been forcing these people to register their household registration, and then forcibly levied taxes on them, and then took the taxes for yourself to expand your own power.

Nagarjuna, are you aware of these rumors?"

Chen Longshu burst into tears when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I have never forced them to pay taxes, let alone taken the taxes for myself. These must be those who slandered me. Please, Your Majesty, do me a favor and give me justice!"

Li Yuanji looked at Chen Longshu's determined face and tears in his eyes, and he smiled in his heart, but his face was full of tenderness.

“Longshu, please get up quickly. I naturally believe that my subjects will not be like this. Longshu is also considering the court and me. He is sincere and I can see it.

How about this, you go back first and develop Longzhou well and build it up together with here. I will then send people to Nanfuzhou to understand the situation clearly. If these people refuse to submit, we will destroy them then.

Nanfuzhou will still need you, Longshu, to govern it, but you must take care of yourself now, because the burden on your shoulders is very heavy. " Chen Longshu was moved when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I thank you very much. I will do my best to govern Longzhou and Nanfuzhou for you and will never let you down."

After chatting for a while, Chen Longshu left. After Chen Longshu left, Xie Shufang immediately looked at Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, since the people in Nanfuzhou refuse to obey your will, I will mobilize the troops and defeat them immediately."

After Xie Shufang finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave. Li Yuanji suddenly became anxious.

"Stop right there, Xie Shufang, ah Xie Shufang, are you stupid? Don't you have a brain? Do you believe everything others say? With your wooden head, I really don't know how you fight.

Don't worry about this, and don't send troops. What we have to do now is to wait."

Li Yuanji was really impressed by Xie Shufang, this naive man. He knew Chen Longshu's situation better. His words just now were mainly to test Chen Longshu's reaction. If this person was honest, he could still use him, after all, he was short of people.

However, after testing, Li Yuanji had no intention of using this person at all. But Chen Longshu showed his loyalty to him. Now he cannot touch this person, otherwise it will disappoint others.

Li Yuanji is now waiting for someone, someone who can help him deal with Chen Longshu. If anyone dares to deceive him, Li Yuanji, like this, he will definitely make Chen Longshu pay the price in blood. How can he, the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, be fooled by such a trick?

In Li Yuanji's eyes, such a bad person should be eliminated to avoid causing him trouble.

Xie Shufang was stunned when he heard what Li Yuanji said. He didn't care what Li Yuanji said. What stunned him was that Li Yuanji actually said wait?

Xie Shufang was really confused. At this time, he had already realized that there was something wrong with Chen Longshu, otherwise Li Yuanji would definitely have sent troops. In Xie Shufang's eyes, since there was something wrong with Chen Longshu, he might as well be killed directly.

The entire Lingnan belongs to Li Yuanji. As long as it is in Lingnan, no matter it is a person or an object, flying in the sky, walking on the ground, or swimming in the water, it all belongs to Li Yuanji personally. Not to mention cutting down one Chen Long tree, there will be no problem even if he cuts down ten or a hundred Chen Long trees.

But Xie Shufang really couldn't understand this waiting. What was Li Yuanji waiting for?
This cannot be blamed on Xie Shufang being stupid. The truth is that what Xie Shufang and Li Yuanji knew were completely different. Xie Shufang only knew the surface, but was unaware of the inside story.

Looking at Xie Shufang's expression, Li Yuanji did not explain. He was just waiting for that person to arrive.

On the other side, Chen Longshu was smiling as he walked on the road. Whenever he met someone, even an ordinary person, he would smile and nod. Until he walked out of Haikang, Chen Longshu's smile disappeared instantly. Instead, his face became gloomy, and he even gritted his teeth. Finally, he suddenly smiled again.

After Chen Longshu left, Li Yuanji immediately went to check the progress of the canal excavation. Now, most of the houses in the city have been built, and half of the roads have been repaired. The current Haikang City is five times larger than the original one, and Li Yuanji has left enough room for expansion.

In Li Yuanji's eyes, Haikang City will be the most prosperous city in the future, and it will also be a large city with a particularly large population. He must leave enough space, otherwise it will be difficult to expand it in the future.

After a walk around, he saw that all affairs were developing in an orderly manner, and he no longer had any worries. Then he went to the cowshed and saw that there were already ten calves here, all of which were exchanged by Li Yuanji, resulting in him having no contribution points at all.

Now Li Yuanji is hoping to complete the construction of Haikang City as soon as possible so that he can receive 1,000 contribution points and then he can do something big.

What is embarrassing for Li Yuanji now is that he can make many little gadgets by himself. It’s not that he can do it all, but he knows some principles and can draw them or explain them and ask others to do them. But more importantly, Li Yuanji really needs this exchange and has no other way.

Returning to his residence and looking at his shabby palace, Li Yuanji smiled helplessly for a moment. Now he really missed the life in Chang'an, where people had real fine clothes and delicious food, and everything they used was the best, not to mention this palace. Any room in the Prince of Qi's Mansion could beat this so-called palace.
