Chapter 445 Two Pigs

"why not?"

"No, it's not possible," Li Xian originally wanted to use the reason to be dissatisfied with the soil, but now that the problem has been resolved, he still doesn't want to.What is Lingnan, the place where officials were exiled.Several princes and grandchildren have been there.Yes, they were all exiled as rebellious clans.

The dispute between the father and daughter also attracted the attention of the minister.

Yuan Shouyi took the opportunity to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Wang Hua, regardless of his status as a minister, and seduced the princess to go to Lingnan. Even though the ship is huge, the ocean is vast and the waves are ruthless. This is to put your highness at risk. Minister The second impeachment, in order to make the princess happy, regardless of the country and the people, spent huge sums of money to build high towers, and built five large ships like this, inlaid with silver and hung with silver, extravagant. The third impeachment of the minister, Lingnan has been a place where criminals have been exiled since ancient times , Her Royal Highness has not violated the law, how should the imperial court treat her when she goes to Lingnan?"

He knew Li Gu'er was not happy.But Li Xian would be happy.Otherwise, Li Bao'er is determined to go to Lingnan now, and Li Xian can't persuade him, and he needs someone to help him no matter what.It's still a good gamble.

Before Li Xian could speak, Webster had already said, "Yuan Qing is right."

In fact, Wang Hua didn't want Li Bao'er to come to Qinzhou.It doesn't matter to me, but for the sake of court etiquette, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to Qinzhou.

But since the Chinese New Year, Li Gu'er has been nagging, talking to Li Hong, and writing letters to himself.This time the food issue is gone, and the money issue has also been resolved.There is no reason to stop even if you want to stop it.Therefore, we had to transfer five sea ships, decorate them, and come to Chang'an to pick up Li Gu'er.Otherwise, another minister would talk, saying that Wang Hua had neglected Her Highness the Princess, and that a majestic Her Highness the Princess traveled to that remote place in the south of the Five Ridges and earned a lot of money, yet she treated the Princess so crudely.

That tower doesn’t matter, it was originally for the cement’s reputation, I took a princess tower, and when Li Gu’er came, I dragged her up to see the scenery, or let Li Gu’er write a poem or something. A famous scenery in Qinzhou.Besides, there is another extremely important purpose.

Li Bao'er became anxious when she heard that, she picked up her son in her arms and said, "Zhaolang hasn't seen his father for more than a week."

The minister was so anxious that he used his official sleeves to plug his ears.

Li Xian was also choked speechless, everyone knew it was Wang Hua's child, but you can't say it openly in front of so many officials.

After Li Gu'er finished speaking, he came to Yuan Shouyi and said, "You traitorous minister, you specialize in flattering father and queen. But why did you frame Wang Hua? What kind of seduction, you have to do it yourself, it has nothing to do with Wang Erlang .But he wrote many times to stop it. How much money did he spend? Is there a copper mine?"

No matter how you spend it, you can't spend the money of one copper mine, and there is also news from the fourth copper mine that all officials in the three provinces and six ministries are discussing how to mine it.Of course, not all of them were mined all at once, but the Tang Dynasty was short of copper, and it was seriously short of copper.The discovery of each copper mine is of great significance.

Speaking of it, with this credit alone, it is not a problem for Wang Hua to confer a duke.In particular, the officials of the household department are very grateful to Wang Hua. Wang Hua's large copper mines undoubtedly solved their first-class problems.

Zhang Shuo said from the side: "Your Highness, I don't know whether you should go to Lingnan or not. But I know that whether it's a tower or a boat, it's all paid by the governor himself."

He was also exiled to Lingnan, and the days he lived were called suffering.Therefore, I have great admiration for Wang Hua's ability.It's a pity that he doesn't have a deep relationship with Wang Hua, otherwise he could become Wang Hua's loyal friend just like Song Lao Wei.

Later, after Li Xian ascended the throne, he thought of Zhang Shuo's benefits. The reason why he was exiled to Lingnan was mainly because of Wei Yuanzhong, but it was also related to himself.Immediately called him back to be a member of the military department, but Zhang said that his mother was dead.Zhang said to observe the funeral.But before the funeral period expired, Wu Sansi was killed by Li Chongjun, and the court was in turmoil, so he was called back to Beijing to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Whether it is building pagodas or building ships, if Wang Hua uses Qinzhou's public funds, the Ministry of Industry will definitely know.Since it was not reported to the Ministry of Industry, it should be paid for by Wang Hua himself.So Zhang said something about it.

He also objected to Li Baoer's going to Qinzhou. Isn't this a concern for the people?But even more against Yuan Shouyi's attack on Wang Hua, otherwise he would not say anything.

Li Bao'er also realized that Wang Hua can use the money he earns as he wants.Immediately came to Yuan Shouyi and said: "Do you want to take care of how much money Wang Erlang's family spends in the future? I think you have more power than my father!"

"Zuo'er, stop messing around."

"Mother, it's not that the sons and officials are messing around. And mother, think about it? Why did Wang Erlang go to Lingnan? It's not because the population has increased and the fields have decreased. He wants to do a pilot project. Set a model for the people to move to Kuan Township. But now Lingnan is still regarded as a bad place, a place where criminals are exiled. What do the millions of people in Lingnan think? Will the people of the world go to Lingnan to reclaim fields? Then Wang Erlang went to Lingnan and spent a lot of money. So what's the point of working so hard?"

"Good!" Da Song cheered.

Li Xian and Webster ignored Song Jing, but refused.

Li Xian said, "Wow, this boat looks beautiful, but do you know what life is like on board?"

Once Li Xian said this, it would be easy. Li Gu'er took out a small flag from his bosom and waved it at several ships.

The people on the five ships immediately lowered many lifeboats, and the sailors lined up these small boats along the Princess Anle in the middle, and lined them up to the shore, and then tied them with cables.The servants of the Anle Princess put down many red carpets from the ship and spread them along the boat to the shore.

The movements were so neat that Li Xian was dumbfounded. What is he going to do?Li Bao'er stretched out his hand and said, "Father, please board my son's boat for a sightseeing."

How to become her ship?Oh, it was Wang Hua who gave it to Li Gu'er, otherwise he wouldn't take the Anle Princess and Qinglong.

Since it was Bao'er's property, Li Xian and his wife led the ministers along the red carpet and boarded the Princess.They are all curious, standing on the shore and looking very big, but what does it look like inside?

On the deck, most of the original cargo ships have been converted into passenger cabins, and there is also a small western-style building on the deck.It was carpeted all over, and the decks and bays were waxed as clean as a mirror.In addition, there are study rooms, restaurants, and many fine wines in the restaurant, a small swimming pool, a small garden, and a small place for performing songs and dances.

Li Bao'er brought them to the bottom ship again, the space below is also very large, in addition to some general cargo compartments, there is also a place for the servants to sleep,

I even saw vegetables growing in the sunny place on the stairs, and live fish and some livestock in other places.Ganqing is a mobile luxury farm on water.

Luxury, luxury, even Webster was jealous.It's not that life in the palace is not as good as life on a boat, but just think about it, while enjoying a good life, the boat is floating on the river or sea, looking at the scenery on both sides.Even I have never enjoyed such a living treatment.

The others just shook their heads.

Only Wang Hua has the money to play like this, others really can't afford it.

Li Xian was still hesitating, but Li Bao'er said again: "Father, my son is willing to donate 100 million yuan to the imperial court to help the poor people."

Li Xian was even more choked up and speechless.Dare love is fine now, my wife and daughter are richer than me.

It's really rich. This time, Wang Hua divided according to three, three, two, two.Li Bao'er is three, because she puts in the most effort, although the capital is a little smaller.But if she didn't take advantage of her power, she wouldn't have exchanged the eighteen shops so easily.The main reason is that Wang Hua is afraid that she will be extravagant and ask Li Xian for money, which will leave a bad reputation in the history books.If all proceeds are taken, she can share a little more than 300 million yuan.With this money, it is estimated that she will not ask Li Xian for money in ten or eight years.But in ten or eight years, the situation in the DPRK and China has changed.

Wang Hua paid the most money, plus the food behind, it was double that of the other two.But it's not just a change of hands, you can get a profit.Only by sending people from the two companies to operate, can these cheaply bought goods be sold and the industry run well.Then resell it to others.This may take half a year.They must also sell a batch, otherwise the Taiyuan Wang family and Li Xuejun's father would not be able to eat it either.

But not now, the two have swallowed a batch at the price before the accident.But they didn't swallow much, mainly because they didn't have cash in hand.Therefore, the first batch of 150 million was handed over to Li Baoer.

Li Xian had nothing to do this time, but he couldn't bear it when he returned to the palace, and asked, "Zuo'er, how much money did you make this time?"

"I don't know. It seems that they gave me 150 million coins, saying that there will be another batch in the future, but they dare not collect the money. They want to let a lot of copper coins flow on the market to save the country."

Li Xian was speechless, did he save the country?Or fat yourself?
Well, anyway, even his wife agrees that Bao'er and Wang Hua are married, it's cheap, and Bao'er will have a good life in the future, so he can feel relieved.Besides, it looks like Wang Hua is really hurt, otherwise he wouldn't have made the boat like that.

Li Bao'er was actually allowed to travel.But she can't use the name of her reunion with Wang Hua. Wang Hua can mess around and make troubles, but she can't. He ordered her to go to Lingnan instead of him to inspect people's livelihood.

However, it is not that simple for the princess to go on tour.It takes a few days to prepare for guards of honor, guards, supplies, etc.As a result, a group of clan disciples begged Li Gu'er to take them on a boat to visit. After the visit, other clan disciples also begged Li Bao'er to take them with them.There were so many people, Li Bao'er didn't think of anything else, and with a wave of his little hand, they all agreed.

Li Xian was a little anxious when he heard it, but it made him feel strange, why didn't a minister come forward to remonstrate except Yuan Shouyi?

No, they were all against it, but Minister Qingliu endured it because he saw that a huge sum of 100 million could save countless people.What's more, I didn't go up. After I went up, I saw it was so big that I guess it would not be able to sink any wind and waves.This is a wrong idea, but this new type of sailboat is more resistant to wind and waves, and the accident rate will be lower. As long as you walk along the coastline, unless you hit a rock, the accident rate is very small.Zong Chuke and others were a little scared, how did Lao Zhou die?The blood doesn't seem to have done much.What's more, it is not worth the loss to make Li Gu'er angry.So it's like not hearing this happening.

By May, development in Qinzhou had ground to a halt.

It is mainly affected by the general environment, but this is only temporary. Once the economy improves, and the population and income of surrounding counties increase, it will once again stimulate the development of Qinzhou.Li Gu'er didn't come, but several groups of people came.

The first group of people were Lao Zong and Lao Ji.

Let the soldiers get confused on the horse and go to Qinzhou.

Although they were turned out of shape, the two of them were not angry because of this, but worried about the upcoming attack by Wang Hua.

In fact, both of them are handsome men with great looks, but now they just lost their energy. Standing on the street in Qinzhou, Lao Ji looked at Lao Zong and asked, "What should I do?"

Once Wu Sansi died, he would not be as good as Zong Jinqing. After all, his elder brother Zong Chuke was still trusted by Webster in the court, and his elder brother Zong Qinke was also an official in the court.Later, Li Bai married four times in his life, one of which was Zong Chuke's granddaughter, but that was a long time later.

Moreover, Zong Jinqing is also very talented. After the Tubo envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to kill, Li Longji, Wu Yanxiu, Wu Chongxun and others beat the Tubo people. He was very proud, so he asked the ministers to link poems, and they linked this poem :
The Great Ming Yuyu Lin Wanfang, —— Li Xian

Gu ashamed of internal affairs Yi Tao Tang. ——Wechsler (This sentence is a bit weird, it is likely that Shangguan Xiaowan wrote it later)

Luanming and phoenix dancing to Pingyang,——Princess Changning

Mu Enguang in Qinlou and Luguan. ——Li Baoer
Unintentionally begging for a son,——Princess Taiping

Xiongcai thanked Chen Wang in seven steps. —— Li Chongmao
When the bear makes the chariot feel ashamed,——Shangguan Xiaowan

Si Quan Guan En can forget again. ——Cui Shi

Wen Jiang learns from Haisi Jihang——Zheng Yin

It is detailed by the ministers of Wanbang's examination of achievements. —— Wu Pingyi
Works keep coming out of the stomach, ——Yan Chaoyin
Quan Hao's screen was solemn and frosty. —— Dou Congyi
Cast a tripod, open a mountain, and build a bright hall——Zong Jinqing
The origin of jade wine is to offer a cup of longevity. ——Knowledge hunting
It is conceivable how many ministers and clans there were in the Manchu Dynasty, and even Zhang Shuo, who wrote a lot, didn't catch the eyes of the law.Among the fourteen sentences, Li Xian's is the most majestic, Princess Taiping's is the most profound, Shangguan Xiaowan's is the most elegant, Zheng Yin and Zong Jinqing follow closely, and the others, including Li Bao'er, are a bit mediocre.

Zong Jinqing thought for a while and said, "Brother Ji, we have to accept softness now that we are dependent on others. It seems that Wang Xiaoer will not take hard things. Let's get through a year or two first. After he leaves Qinzhou, we will be able to breathe." Got mad."

Ji Chuna didn't have any other good solution, he just resented Zhou Yongyong in his heart, why are you beating his servants so hard?Well, take your own life and make us suffer.

He came to the state government with his head down, and the servant said that Wang Hua had gone out.The two had to stand, and no one brought them a chair, and the two dared not ask for it.After standing for a long time, it was past meal time. The two of them were so tired and hungry that they almost fell to the ground.But still dare not, this is Wang Hua giving them a blow.If he falls down like this, maybe a new punishment will come again.

Standing until the evening, Wang Hua hurriedly came to the state government office and looked at them strangely: "If you don't take up the post immediately, what are you doing in the state government office?"

Doesn't this require your approval?

"Go, go, Qinzhou's business is official. If you do well, you will write a memorial and praise you to the court. If you don't do well, you will write a memorial and report to the court, and you will be punished. Don't trust me."

Dare to stand for a long time in vain.But what kind of punishment would it be? The two left Qinzhou with fear in their hearts, one went to Lingshan, and the other went to Anjing.The handover with the original county lieutenant was completed.Except for the two county lieutenants who were transferred to other counties as magistrates because of the vacancy, but they were still very unhappy.What a bright future to stay in Qinzhou. What's the use of going to other counties or staying in Lingnan?So Lao Ji and Lao Zong had to bear it when he said some nasty words.

But the other officials didn't make things difficult for them. Anjing County Magistrate Zheng Yu and Lingshan County Magistrate Xing Pi were very polite to them, and even arranged the affairs of their posts hand in hand.

When I took up the post the next day, I felt uneasy.But Wang Hua did not retaliate against them, so let's deal with the affairs at hand with peace of mind.

There are quite a few. Originally, the aborigines had disputes in each Dongxi, but now there are many foreign people coming in, and there are many conflicts.But they are all big things, such as that one lost a chicken, that child fought and lost with the help of adults, that family dug a field ridge.

There are some issues where it is impossible to tell what is right or wrong. In the past, these officials were all from their hometowns and knew the basics. Therefore, they mainly focus on pensions. Both sides comfort you, see?I haven't eaten yet, think about your previous days, now, can you let me take a breath, let the governor take a breath.Consolation left.It really doesn't work, especially between the migrants and the locals, the yamen should pay out of their own pockets, and don't intensify the conflict.Of course, except for some bad cases that were punished severely, most of the trivial matters were resolved in this way.

The officials in the county all have such a humble attitude, and the common people don't want to bother.

But Lao Ji and Lao Zong had never seen such a scene before, they were used to being pampered, some things were handled lightly, some things were handled seriously, some things were handled wrongly, and their attitudes were arrogant.But after all, this is a Lingnan native, with a solid heart, and if you treat him well, he will also treat you well.But you treat him badly, unlike the Central Plains people who have no choice but to hold back, and immediately burst out with barbaric ferocity.

Less than ten days after taking office, the people of the two counties were outraged, and some people made troubles in the state government.

Wang Hua called them over and asked, "What rank are you holding the highest official positions in the imperial court?"

One has served as the Minister of the Taifu, Zhengqing, and the other has served as a general and supervisor, and a general and master craftsman. They are both chief executives of the Nine Ministers and Five Supervisors.But the two of them didn't answer, they didn't understand the meaning behind Wang Hua's words.

Wang Hua threw two documents to them: "Let's see for yourself."

It's the resumes of two former county captains, both of whom were from ordinary people in the countryside. They were lucky enough to know a few words, and they were enthusiastic people in the countryside.To put it bluntly, before they served as county captains, they were just ordinary people.

"Could it be that apart from harming others and flattering others, are you not as good as an ordinary literate commoner in doing practical things? Go ahead."

The faces of the two were ashen, and this was said in front of many people. When this sentence spread to Chang'an, their official careers were really over.Don't be afraid to talk about loyalty and traitor, what is loyalty and what is traitor, this boundary is very blurred, if you are not as good as an ordinary person, who will use you?
Put down this time.But this was not a one-day achievement, and the people were rumoring that the newly appointed county lieutenant was a bad official, capable of harming people, but not capable at all in other aspects.Therefore, the contradiction is still intensifying.

This time Wang Hua called them back again and said: "Even if a pig can grunt twice when it sees its master, are you not as good as a pig? I've said it before, and I don't care about the previous grievances. You don't know how to do it yet." Facts. Is it really that difficult to be a county lieutenant? Xi Heizi, Li Mazi, you go to Anjing County and Lingshan County first, and represent these two county lieutenants."

Xi Heizi, Li Mazi, when they heard this name, they knew that they came from that corner of the mountain, otherwise it would be impossible to not even have a serious name.

The two represented Lao Ji and Lao Zong's affairs, and they couldn't even read a few words. While reading the official documents, they asked the scholars who called over for advice.But it was just these two yamen servants who didn't know a few big characters, after a few days, the related affairs of the two counties were handled in an orderly manner.

Wang Hua called the two yamen servants back again, but when Lao Ji and Lao Zong got in their hands, troubles arose again.

In desperation, Wang Hua had no choice but to let Xi Heizi and Li Mazi represent their affairs, and said to them in front of everyone: "What should we do? We in Qinzhou have raised two fat pigs who can only eat and enjoy themselves. Bar."

After finishing speaking, he left without beating or scolding.

But this made them feel worse than beating them and scolding them. The two hid in the room and wanted to commit suicide.

As a result, within a few days, the news spread throughout Lingnan, and two fat pigs were raised in Qinzhou.

Wei Shi was originally worried that Wang Hua would torture Lao Zong and Lao Ji, but when he heard the news, he blushed and kept quiet.

Old Wei hid at home and was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. He felt sorry for him, and when he heard the news, he happily asked his servants to bring the wine from his family's collection to drink to his heart's content.Wang Hua's move was so clever that Webster couldn't blame him even if he wanted to, and he didn't dare to bear the infamy, using two fat pigs that were not as good as ordinary yamen servants.It is best for the court to send a few more fat pigs to Qinzhou for captivity, and transfer two pigs, too few, too few.
