Chapter 62: Broaden Your Horizons
Jiangxia's urban planning left a deep impression on Li Yuanxiang and Shangguan Tingzhi, and as members of the imperial family, there was still a basic education of "serving the domain". It's just that now the "vassal king" is like a dog, Zai Fu is not as good as a dog, and the foreign dynasty is not as good as a dog, which makes the "skills" obtained in the old days seem extremely chicken.
But His Royal Highness King Jiang made a very simple arithmetic problem, if there was a rebellion in Jiangxia before, Ezhou would transfer troops, transfer and then quell the rebellion, let alone ten days and half a month.
The distance in a straight line is 100 miles, and the foot distance is at least three times more, and it takes about ten years just to walk.
And now, if there are fangs in the northeast of Puqi County to make a rebellion, about five or six policemen will follow the old brother who patrols the yamen, ride horses for an hour, and then after exterminating the traitors, they can still go back to Jiangxia at night to force two punches.
His Royal Highness King Jiang couldn't help but feel that such a "counterinsurgency" was too funny, making the former Fengyan at the end of the Sui Dynasty a bit like the "Su Wu on the couch" sung in "Golden Splendor...... This is very unseemly.
So His Royal Highness King Jiang raised the IQ of the fangren by a few points, assuming that after the fangzhai handsome man got into trouble, he immediately drilled into the mountains and wandered around......
It didn't take long for the handsome man of Fangzhai to starve to death.
Because except for the die-hard loyalists of the Fangzhai heroes, the rest of the villagers went to work in the workshop to get Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Farming or something...... The fields between the countryside are scattered with chickens and dogs, and in this case, it is better to learn from wild tigers to hunt around.
"Build a road, build a road."
sighed with emotion, Li Yuanxiang had to admit that here in Wuhan, ordinary rebellions really can't become any climate.
However, His Royal Highness King Jiang also knows very well that the situation in Wuhan is piled up by mountains of gold and silver. It's too peaceful to throw money at it, otherwise why wouldn't Yuezhou next door stop? Not to mention the likes of Tanzhou.
Even if Tanzhou is Changsha, there are still hungry and dizzy wandering villages running to rob, and then the officials cried, and the court beat and touched at the same time, which was cool and painful.
But the situation is improving, especially like Yuezhou, since deciding to follow the back of Wuhan's ass and paddle the water. Build roads, dams, embankments, and wharves, what you like to repair, as long as you don't cultivate immortals, gods, and animals, those who come from Yuezhou will not refuse.
Starting from his identity, Yang Sili was not interested in being loyal to Emperor Li Tang, but in order to support his family, he would not be exiled by the whole family for 3,000 miles, so he had to get by on the surface.
The traditional business of building bridges and paving roads is always to be done. Originally, these businesses were taken to the local "village sages", and he just made a face, and the benefits were not still the "village sages"? There are so many pits for local traditional officials, if you squat in turns, it is naturally immeasurably meritorious; But if you leave, the "village sages" will let you see and see "don't die".
The Chu people's "Xiangxian" said that Lao Tzu's ancestors were all surnamed Xiong, and the power of the bear, woo, scared.
Yang Sili has been in charge for so many years, if you want to say that you are not afraid, isn't this? He was not a samurai, he was forced to have no choice, and almost died in Lizhou.
However, there was a Jiangnan native dog next door, and the one who made a fuss was called Huanshi, and there were no conspiracies and tricks. When the human soil dog first arrived, he said: Make a price, I want this land.
Most of the people who thought they had a strong personality knelt in front of a price code and wept bitterly, ashamed of their unfirmness.
As for the rest of the "resolute" people, to be honest, Yang Sili doesn't know how to operate the earth dog. Of course, a certain Jiangnan native dog will not tell him that the eldest grandson Wuji is a good person, and he will not see blood when he kills.
Yang Tingshi is a wonderful person, and he never dwells on the truth behind these. He is a assassin, just have a conscience, what truth do you want?
You have the truth, but do you have a conscience? Even if you have a conscience, can you promise not to be eaten by the dirt dog next door?
Therefore, Yang Tingshi also began to build roads, and His Royal Highness King Jiang passed by, and happened to witness the Puqi official road that stretched out from Jiangxia City, and he could actually go deep into Yuezhou.
Wuhan is like an octopus with tentacles all over its body, sucking and sticking to something when it catches something, sucking tightly and wrapping and entangled, which is very weird.
"Jin Hong, this Jiangxia...... Is it really 5,000 households? ”
The enigmatic 5,000 county seats, why is this king blind? In the southern suburbs outside the city, there are 200,000 people.
5,000 households......
If nothing else, let's just say that the Jiangxia shipyard is good, and the number of large workers, small workers, labor workers, slave laborers, etc., definitely exceeds 20,000 people. I've never heard of this scale.
And in such a shipyard, it is all about paying for food, drinking, and Lazar, and it is probably the vegetable garden that the workers in the dormitory area have opened up by themselves.
A factory is almost a country in the Western Regions, and it is far stronger than the non-mainstream Western Regions Buddha country. Because generally speaking, a population of 20,000 can explode 2,000 soldiers, which is already a reckless army, and it will be the extent of destroying the country in two battles.
And what about the Jiangxia shipyard? His Royal Highness King Jiang feels that this dilapidated factory is a group of old bachelors, and the ratio of victorious soldiers to population feels like a one-to-one, much stronger than any Turkic tribe.
At the peak of the Turkic period, did it dare to say that all the people were soldiers? It's not a sheep herder, a baby herder?
But Jiangxia Shipyard obviously dares to be a soldier...... Of course, what you haven't eaten is also a wave of "dead countries".
"I think it's 5,000."
Shangguan Tingzhi thought for a while, and said with self-righteousness, "There are hidden households and runaways everywhere, which is normal. ”
“……”
Normal, you're an old lady.
Li Yuanxiang suddenly didn't want to chat with him, four or five times the registered population of the household escape is allowed, and it is normal. The registered population is 25,000, and the others are 340,000 in total, is this in line with common sense? Is this science?
"'The Demon Capital of the Earth', it lives up to its name."
Thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanxiang also felt that his emperor's elder brother could only let himself go when facing this situation. How else? Let Jiangxia blow himself up? Throwing hundreds of thousands of unemployed people wandering around in the land of Jingxiang? Or is it the kind that comes in groups?
What makes Li Yuanxiang even more speechless is that he has not crossed the river yet, he has not been to Chuzhou, and he has not seen Hanyang yet. I heard that the broken place is even worse than Jiangxia......
"It is said that Wuhan is comparable to the two capitals, and now it is more than enough to see the crowds of people."
It seems that Shangguan Tingzhi, who has no heart and lungs, is still sighing on the ground, but the "Shangguan Gang Master" is secretly happy and refreshed in his heart, and his husband Li Fengzhi said, Mr. His brother is strong in ability, he is a golden thigh, and he does not worry about eating and drinking to make money as an official.
Originally, the "Shangguan Gang Master" thought, Jin's thighs are very thick? How thick it is.
Now the "Shangguan Gang Master" feels that his life has been stabilized. After all, it's so thick, it's big, it's so golden......
Compared with the life of His Royal Highness King Jiang's Brother Li, the starting line of "Shangguan Gang Master" has surpassed King Jiang by more than 100 positions.
After all, these days, let alone the prince, the prince is useless.
"It's no wonder that the imperial court split Jiangnan Road and placed Jiangnan West Road, which was unimpeded. He also ordered the prime minister to order the governor, if this goes on for a long time, he only knows that there is Zhang here, but he does not know that there is Li. ”
Li Yuanxiang did not avoid Shangguan Tingzhi, and his inner emotion was expressed very bluntly. However, if you want to say how much His Royal Highness King Jiang supports the emperor's brother, that is to say, after all, with his background, being able to mix a long-term meal ticket is a success.
Unless Li Ke ascends to the throne as the next emperor, then he will definitely have to toss and toss. Now, it would be nice to be able to support it verbally.
"I didn't think it would be."
"Shangguan Gang Leader" because his life is very reliable, his self-confidence has skyrocketed, he overlooks the river, sees hundreds of boats contending, stands with his hands in his hands, and says with a dashing bearing, "In the long run, I will not only know that there is Zhang, nor will I only know that there is Li, but only know that there is money......
“……”
After a while, His Royal Highness King Jiang rushed to Shangguan Tingzhi and arched his hand, "Shangguan's words are transparent and thought-provoking. ”
"And everyone knows that Zhang Liangfeng is rich. If you want to be rich, you have to find Zhang Liangfeng in Wuhan, because Zhang Liangfeng not only has money, but also power. ”
Shangguan Tingzhi continued, and then his face was bright, and he said solemnly, "In this life, you will either be a big official or have a lot of money. ”
"Alas...... But the same people don't have the same fate. Why did I choose to be surnamed Li? ”
His Royal Highness King Jiang sighed with emotion, patted the turtle shell, and decided to realize the turtle shell immediately. With such a turtle shell, how can it be mixed for two or three years.
If he hadn't been to Wuhan in person, he had just heard about it, and Li Yuanxiang didn't have any ideas. And now that others are in Jiangxia, their hearts will naturally drift.
As the twenty sons of the emperor, he has no share in the imperial power, which may be for the sake of "glory and wealth" and "blessing the descendants", and to maintain the supremacy of the imperial power.
But when he arrived in Wuhan, His Royal Highness King Jiang said that the way of "glory and wealth" could be flexible, and the form of "blessed descendants" was not only an empty title food estate.
Besides, at his level, even if he eats and waits for death, it is impossible to live a chic life. Of course, this is a comparison with Li Yuanxiang's big man at the same level. But how can a person like His Royal Highness King Jiang look down, this mentality of "less than the top is more than the bottom" is completely a complete denial of him as a prince.
"What's wrong with the surname Li? The surname Li is not undeveloped. Brother Li, don't you see that 'Jingren hemp spinning' is Li Jingren's industry? He is just a descendant clan, or is he fighting in Jiaozhou, who dares to underestimate him now? ”
After speaking, Shangguan Tingzhi also whispered, "Last year's imperial examination, I heard adults talk about it, there are a lot of 'Xingjuan' Li Jingren, and there are seven or eight Jinshi who have been funded by him over the years. ”
"Can his Li be the same as me? I and the current emperor are brothers. ”
glanced sideways at Shangguan Tingzhi, "They are all surnamed Li, but that's not the same thing." ”
"It's not the same thing, it's not the same thing."
Seeing that Li Yuanxiang was emotional, Shangguan Tingzhi did not continue to talk, but changed the topic, "Brother Li, are you going to meet Zhang Liangfeng today?" ”
It stands to reason that Zhang De should go to see His Royal Highness King Jiang Li Yuanxiang. Of course, His Royal Highness King Jiang, who ran out to have fun, would definitely not dare, so he could only meet secretly in private.
"Go, why not? Go now! ”
Li Yuanxiang, who felt that his life was a little dark, also moved away immediately, Shangguan Tingzhi immediately followed, and then asked in a low voice, "That...... Do you want to bring a gift? ”
"Is the turtle shell okay?"
The turtle shell, which was originally two or three years of food money, suddenly became a victim of His Royal Highness King Jiang's emotions.
"This is a treasure of the South China Sea, so it is natural."
Saying that, the "Shangguan Gang Master" carried the turtle shell on his back, "The conceited turtle shell is sincere." ”
“……”
If it weren't for the like-mindedness of this guy, Li Yuanxiang felt that he could kill him with one sword.
Lao Zhang, who happened to be resting, knew the movements of the two people, and after someone reported the situation, Lao Zhang smiled at home: "There are two guests from Yangzhou today, do you want to meet?" ”
"Ah Lang suddenly said this, could it be that he knew him?"
Cui Jue, who was rubbing hemp, touched a card and looked up and asked.
"Feng admonished a disciple, who is the eldest son of Shangguan Yi, and has already given him a name." Zhang De watched the battle from the sidelines, Cui Jue's table was played by Xiao Yan and Xiao Shu's sisters plus Li Yue, and there was also a table next to it, but it was Ah Shi De Yinchu, Ah Nu, Wu Shun and Li Jia.
Bai Jie Zheng Wan didn't go to the table because he was busy making new clothes for a few children, while Li Lizhi followed suit, but he looked good and made a few belly pockets.
"Li Dalang actually accepted all the disciples?!"
With a snap, Anu slammed the mahjong on the table, "Bumper bumper, east wind bumper!" Ah Lang, he accepted the disciples, why didn't he know that he wouldn't even have a feast? Are you afraid that we will eat him poorly? ”
"What are you talking nonsense about, little girl? Is that kind of person? He was a chic and casual person, which is something that everyone knows. Accept a disciple, as long as you go around Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, who is afraid that there is no one in Jiangdong who doesn't know? If you come to Wuhan again, Jing Chu will also know that there is such a number one person, why do you need to put up a feast. ”
"Wow, I haven't seen you for a few years, Li Dalang is so smart."
Anu flickered a pair of big eyes, then clapped his hands and shouted, "Another east wind, bar!" ”
"Didn't you mean two guests? How do you say one? ”
Hearing Zhang De say this, Xiao Yan was also interested, and looked up and asked.
"Another one is a member of the royal family, or a prince. The twentieth son of the emperor, Li Yuanxiang, the king of Jiang, have you heard of it? ”
"Who?"
"Twenty sons?!"
"How many have the emperor given birth to?"
It was purely subconscious surprise, but it quickly calmed down again, because everyone remembered that there were four princesses in the house, three of them were surnamed Li, and one of them was directly the queen's daughter.
"It's up to me to see what I do!"
Being stared at, Li Jia's face was red and red, and she was ashamed like never before. Others don't know the market, but she herself worked hard to hook up with her brother-in-law, this matter is the secret of her and Li Yue, Li Zhier and Zhang De, and others don't know how she got into the quilt in Liangfeng County.
At this time, because it was said that the emperor could give birth to dozens of children in a litter, he was surrounded and watched, and naturally there was a feeling of being secretly peeped into and being played shamefully in broad daylight.
"I don't see him very often, even in person, I may not recognize ......"
Li Jia was blushing and talking, and someone came outside, saying that the guests had arrived.
Lao Zhang didn't talk nonsense, he directly asked people to bring the two boys over, instead of going around in circles, it was better to let Li Yuanxiang see the real thing.
"Brother Li, don't you say 'all surnamed Li', okay? It's all here, what else do you say? ”
"You're so bad, I'm bad, can't I even complain? Are you still not a brother? ”
"Of course it's brothers. In the future, I will really become the leader of the 'Money Gang', and I will definitely make you the deputy leader. ”
“……”
His Royal Highness King Jiang, who was already congested, suddenly felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
Led all the way forward, Li Yuanxiang, who was wondering why Zhang De didn't come to "greet" him, suddenly became excited, he first heard the sound of mahjong, this thing is too familiar, the entire Chang'an City, there are not a thousand mahjong halls, but also five hundred. From the palace to the brothel village, there is no distinction between high and low mahjong, only mahjong has an advantage or disadvantage.
Vaguely, Li Yuanxiang saw that there were girls on the mahjong table, and he wanted to ignore it, but he suddenly felt that his heart was clenched into a fritter, and then he was soaked in a bowl of rancid tofu brain.
"Ten, twelve, sister?!"
Why did the tofu brain spill?
"Uncle Twenty."
"Li, Li?!"
Still sprinkled on your body?
"All here? Come in and sit. Lao Zhang held a teacup, threw the newspaper on the desk, and then greeted, "King Jiang, when you were young, I hugged you, I didn't expect to grow so big." ”
He turned his head to look at Shangguan Tingzhi again: "You are Tingzhi, right?" Feng told me that since you have come to Wuhan, you should see more and walk more, and if you have any doubts, just come to me. Uh, why are you still carrying a turtle shell? ”
Shangguan Tingzhi is actually not much better than His Royal Highness King Jiang, he has already understood some things from the conversation between the deputy gang leader of the "Money Gang" just now, there is actually a princess in this house?!
This is what my husband told me about the eye-opening?!
What an eye-opener!
"The student Shangguan Tingzhi has seen the teacher!"
was probably too shocked and forgot to take the turtle shell off, so Shangguan Tingzhi made a big gift.
"Aye, how come there is a big turtle?"
Inside the door, Zhang Luoshui, who was probing his brain, bit his finger and asked curiously.
