Fu Tang

Lei Youzhong originally thought that he was going to die of old age in Yazhou, but he didn't expect that he still had a mission, and he also understood Li Congjia's style. Li Congjia asked him to watch, which meant that sooner or later he would play Dali. Sending troops to the DPRK is used to sending troops nearby, so there must be a chance for him!

Lei Youzhong was revived immediately with full blood, and honestly followed Zhao Kuangyin to learn the scriptures for a few days, and then happily took his family to the post.

Although the military and government of this dynasty are separated, the civil and military relations are not bad. When Lei Youzhong left, someone went to see him off. Everyone was ready to comfort him. With a radiant face and a smile on his face, the people who came to see him off felt quite creepy: Isn’t this guy unbearable, crazy?

However, there was nothing wrong with Lei Youzhong's behavior, and his speech and thinking were normal, which surprised everyone.

Someone guessed part of it, and felt that Lei Youzhong's punishment this time was a bit unjust, and Li Congjia was never an unreasonable person, it's just that the military law is here, just like Yushi said, you are also a commoner. As soon as this example is opened, next time someone kills civilians and pretends to be a military leader, what should I do if they are found and said that those people are rangers?

However, they thought that Li Congjia had met Lei Youzhong before, and they might have said something to him.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense.

These bigwigs didn't expect that Li Congjia was preparing to fight Dali, but a woman in the harem spotted it.

Duan Susu approached Li Congjia aggressively. He wanted to question him, but he didn't even enter the study, so Chunsheng guarded the door and refused to enter.

Duan Susu was blocked twice, so she could only go back aggrieved. Turning around, she heard that she often went to Li Congjia when she wanted to, but she was never blocked, and she felt even more aggrieved.

However, it's useless to be wronged. Can concubines and regular wives be the same?

What's more, every time she came at the wrong time, if Chunsheng didn't block her back, would Duan Susu want to let Duan Susu watch Li Congjia make out with Shi Xueting?At that time, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death!

Fortunately, Duan Susu finally knocked on the door of Li Congjia's study for the third time, but it was because Shi Xueting went out to do something!

Li Congjia looked up at Duan Susu who had calmed down a lot and asked, "What's wrong?"

He has found Duan Susu or he doesn't look for him, as long as he looks for him, there will be trouble.

However, after being blocked for a few days, Duan Susu had calmed down and just asked, "You want to fight Dali?"

Li Congjia looked at her strangely: "Who said that? It's almost Chinese New Year, and Datang has no military operations."

"What happened to Lei Youfinal?"

Li Congjia smiled: "Is the news very well-informed?" He glanced at Gao Xi while talking, he didn't have many restrictions on Duan Susu and Gao Xi, if these two people want to leave the palace, they can go out just by saying.

However, Duan Susu's IQ is not enough to connect Lei Youzhong with playing Dali, but Gao Xi...he is still a little confused.

Duan Susu glanced at Gao Xi with some anxiety, and then said, "We just heard about it on the street."

Li Congjia put the documents on the desk and said, "Someone said that Lei You eventually went to fight in Dali?"

Who is so brainy?If there is such a person, he really wants to know.

Duan Susu was choked up, thinking that people really didn't say anything, they just said that there might be other tasks in the discussion about Lei You, but Gao Xi analyzed it with her.

Seeing that Duan Susu didn't speak, Li Congjia could only say: "Don't listen to the wind and the rain. Lei You was eventually relegated there. If I really want to fight Dali, will I demote him?"

It seems that this is also the reason. When Duan Susu was thinking carefully, Gao Xi stepped forward and asked, "Then you mean that you won't use troops against Dali?"

Li Congjia looked at her and said: "I can't make any guarantees. Duan's closeness to Datang does not mean that Gao's closeness to Datang, and...you two have special identities, I can understand your feelings, but it's best not to let Others know, otherwise there will definitely be the imperial censor impeaching the harem for meddling in politics."

Gao Xi bit her lip, not getting a definite answer made her feel a little uneasy, but the two of them are like rootless ducklings now, and Li Congjia refused to say that there was nothing they could do, not to mention it was just her guess before, so Duan Susu also I had no choice but to go back with Gao Xi.

After the two of them left, Li Congjia began to think, if after the new year, if Lei Youzhong really mobilized troops, would these two women start a fight in the harem?

Li Congjia was not afraid of their troubles, but he would find it a bit annoying. He didn't want to work hard every day, and then had to fight wits and courage with these two women later.

Thinking about it this way, the emperors with three thousand beauties in the harem in the past dynasties are really not simple.

After Shi Xueting came back and heard what Li Congjia said, she couldn't help but shook her head: "It's because you indulged them too much. You should have agreed not to interfere with each other at the beginning. Since you can't let go of Dali, why don't you go back to Dali? If you want to protect your own country, how can there be such a good thing? The world is always in a dilemma, don't they understand this truth?"

In fact, Li Congjia also felt that this was wrong, so he gave an order that Duan Susu could see him in the future, but he had to send someone to report, and he couldn't just rush to his study. To receive ministers, Duan Susu came as soon as he said, is there any rules?

Duan Susu felt that Li Congjia was too much, but he had no way to appeal, so he could only complain to Gao Xi depressedly.

All of a sudden, people inside and outside the palace knew that these two were basically out of favor. Of course, the maids in the palace knew better. Ever since Duan Susu and Gao Xi entered the palace, Li Congjia had never rested in their rooms. Imagine this Regarding the identities of the two concubines, everyone felt that Li Congjia married them just to appease Dali.

However, no one spoke for them. The maids felt that without these two people, maybe they would be able to stand up in the future if they were lucky. As for the outside of the palace, as long as the emperor did not want to abolish the empress and did not delay the government because of favoring the concubine, who would care about the emperor? Which little wife do you like, it's better not to like none, they also have a daughter, what if they can enter the palace?

To put it simply, even if Duan Susu made trouble, he couldn't make trouble. Li Congjia was immediately relieved that Dali must fight.

As for the reason why he made up his mind, it was still related to the news Shi Xueting brought back.

Before, Li Congjia always felt that Xia Shuang's rebellion was inexplicable. Even if he believed the rumors, he had to see if Li Congjia had really acted. After all, if Li Congjia really wanted to take back his military power, he should start with a higher-ranking general. How could it come up and do it from the grassroots level?Don't you think it's troublesome?

It was only later that Li Congjia learned that the so-called listening to rumors was actually just an excuse for Xia Shuang. His idea was that if he couldn't beat him, he would surrender. Even better, money can pay off.

In the end, he didn't expect that he would play off, and Lei You finally exploded directly, without giving him a chance to surrender, even You Xiaer took him to destroy it together.

As for the real reason for Xia Shuang's rebellion, the Gao family contacted him and promised him a bunch of benefits, and it was under the condition that Xia Shuang was self-reliant. A drag on Li Congjia's footsteps.

At least if Xia Shuang rebelled, Li Congjia would definitely put down the rebellion first, and would not have much time to manage Dali, and then the Gao family could concentrate on dealing with the Duan family. Shi can't sit still.

It was a matter of life and death, so the Gao family decided to get rid of the Duan family directly, and let them be the royal family themselves.

This is also the reason why Duan Sushun had no news after returning home.

Li Congjia reckoned that the Duan family would not be able to beat the Gao family, and it might not be long before the Gao family would become the royal family of Dali, but he didn't know if Duan Susu and Gao Xi would still be as loving as before?

After Lei Youfinal arrived in Yazhou, Li Congjia gave him a secret decree to recruit soldiers. By the way, he also gave him a training method, which was a weakened version of the special forces. It even included training methods for sailors. After that, I went to training excitedly.

Maybe this kind of thing can be hidden from Dali, but it can't be hidden from the high level of the country, even the civil servants, but when they got the news, Lei Youzhong had already recruited [-] soldiers.

This number is not much, but Li Congjia didn't let him recruit too many in one go, otherwise as long as Dali is not stupid, he can see that Datang has something wrong with Dali.

Lei You finally reported the details of Yazhou to Li Congjia through the intelligence department. Li Congjia looked very happy, and said after calculation: "Hey, if this is the case, Dali may be taken down in a short time, Xueting, then we will go Live in Kunming for a while, the environment there is very good.”

Shi Xueting handed him a document and said, "You... have a look at this first."

Originally, Shi Xueting wanted to give this document to Li Congjia first, but after thinking about it, he still gave him that document first. Basically, this is equivalent to choosing between good news and bad news. The court did not give Li Congjia the right to choose.

Seeing Shi Xueting's expression, Li Congjia felt that something was going to go wrong, but as expected, when he opened it, he was furious.

"These people are simply insane!" Li Congjia stood up directly.

Shi Xueting was afraid that he would expose the case again, so he quickly held him down and said, "Don't get excited, these people have already been arrested."

Li Congjia said angrily: "So what if you catch him? The tomb has already been dug up!"

Shi Xueting couldn't help but said: "This is what is good at the top, and the bottom will follow."

After Shi Xueting finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, didn't this add fuel to the fire?He is not afraid of Li Congjia's anger, but he feels sorry for Li Congjia's anger and injury.

However, what surprised him was that Li Congjia calmed down after hearing this, and said with a long sigh: "But I really didn't expect...these people would steal and dig ancient tombs for antiques!"

That's right, in fact, even Shi Xueting didn't think of it, who would have thought of it?Before, Li Congjia just thought that if some antiques were in the hands of the common people, improper preservation might cause great damage to the cultural relics, and Li Congjia did not force them to buy them. More often, he advocated donations and would give some rewards, but definitely not too many, at least Not more than the value of the antique itself, maybe some comfort money.

Li Congjia only realized at this time, yes, he did not want to buy antiques, most of the ones that have entered the national treasury are donated by others, so what is the purpose of these people robbing tombs?

Li Congjia was puzzled and called people directly. Fortunately, he had a serious occupational disease and had set up a cultural relics protection team before. He told these people about the situation and sent them to Luoyang directly.

Yes, it was the tombs in Luoyang that were robbed this time. Li Congjia remembered that the tombs in Luoyang were basically large tombs. If he couldn’t leave, he really wanted to go there and see what it had become.

However, what confuses him is that the preservation technology of this era is really not good enough. It takes a lot of cost to control the temperature and humidity. Yes, Li Congjia can afford it himself. After all, he is rich, but this does not mean that Li Zhongyu and his Future generations will continue to pay for these things. What if you meet someone who likes to enjoy and doesn't care about these cultural relics at all?

Li Congjia directly set up this organization in order to get the best funding from the imperial court in the future, but at that time, if the emperor doesn't like it, other departments will definitely not want anyone to compete with him for funds, maybe there will be no one. Will take care of it again.

So what he hopes most now is that the degree of robbery is not deep, so that he can directly reinforce the surrounding soil and then find someone to take care of it. This is a cheaper and better choice.

After Li Congjia sent people to go, he turned to Shi Xueting and asked, "I'm really surprised, why did they steal it? It should be for business, right?"

No one would risk their lives to steal an ancient tomb, and then turn around and donate it to the court for almost free, right?Isn't this a brain disease?

Shi Xueting patted Li Congjia's head and said, "Are you stupid? These people naturally have their own purpose. They stole it because there are high-ranking officials willing to buy it."

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to say that I started the cultural relic collection craze?"

In fact, this kind of thinking is also valid. After all, the emperor can be said to be at the forefront of fashion. As long as the emperor shows any special hobbies, the ministers below will usually go to find out a thing or two, in order to be able to talk to the emperor. As monarchs and ministers, there are occasional chats and relationships, not just cold business every day.

Shi Xueting shook his head: "It's not all. Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times are what you said, so there is no trend of collecting antiques now, it's just because some officials want to get into your eyes through this. If you say, I mean, if someone donates a very valuable item, such as the Boshan furnace from the Western Han Dynasty, you may remember this official after you know it. If the officials above need it, then the officials below will naturally try their best to donate it .”

Li Congjia suddenly felt very headache. This kind of officialdom has been in China for 5000 years and has never changed. Isn't it the same in future generations?

To be honest, he really wants to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang now, but he is worried about overcorrecting. After all, this is giving gifts to each other, and there is no corruption... Hey, wait, he will find a way to accept gifts from his subordinates, will he not be corrupt?

Li Congjia sat on the chair and thought for a long time, looked up at Shi Xueting and asked, "How much information do you have?"

Shi Xueting had a good understanding with him and immediately asked, "Who do you want?"

Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "Let's come to the fourth rank and above first, um, mainly to look at the governors of various places and so on. For Beijing officials, the fourth rank probably doesn't have the guts. Let's check from the third rank and above."

Shi Xueting couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Li Congjia's words can't wait to book their work for several years in the future. Is it that simple?To determine whether a person is corrupt or not, not only the Ministry of Intelligence conducts a private investigation, but also the Audit Office to help.

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting's expression, and said without waiting for him to protest: "Don't worry, I know what you are thinking, I am not asking you to find out all the evidence, the main thing is to see if there is this case, if you are sure there is, then Just collect some of them and hand them over, and then I’ll ask the Procuratorate to go, um, is there any at the military attache’s? Forget it, check the Procuratorate and the military court first, I’m really worried that these goods will be stolen.”

If that's the case, it's not that difficult.

Shi Xueting couldn't help but reminded: "There's still one and a half months before Chinese New Year, are you sure you want to come now?"

Li Congjia paused. He didn't want to procrastinate at first, but he could ignore those officials who committed crimes, but as long as he did something, people would be panicked. Who hasn't been greeted by others these days?How much it counts as corruption depends on the emperor's mood. Once the emperor is unhappy, the set value is very low. It is estimated that more than half of the people will be shot. These people still want to have a good year?

It is estimated that Li Congjia will not even think about having a good year, because if there are many people found out, he is worried that he will become a puffer fish. For the New Year, he has already planned to close the pen during the New Year with Shi Xueting how to live.

In this era when the average life expectancy is 30 years old, he and Shi Xueting surpassed it after the new year. It is really a year less than a year. They say it is a seven-year itch. However, when it comes to Li Congjia, the more time passes, he will The more I cherish this relationship, I am afraid that if one of them doesn't wake up one day, there will be nothing left.

Li Congjia didn't want to disturb his and Shi Xueting's rare vacation, so he could only say reluctantly: "Then let them have another stable year, and give them year-end awards, tsk."

Yes, this is the point, Li Congjia is not willing to send them those things!

Shi Xueting laughed and said, "Just post it. If there is something wrong with it, wouldn't they have to spit it out? And all the property will be confiscated. What are you worried about?"

Li Congjia thought so too, turned his head and put this aside, looked up at Shi Xueting and asked, "How is the preparation at Arong's side?"

Shi Xueting knew what he was asking, nodded and said, "It's ready. According to what you said, one hundred and four quotas are 51 each, is it enough?"

Li Congjia doesn't know either. After all, he is also a novice, but he established this currency first, so the value of this thing is completely up to him. He searched in his mind and felt that according to the current price, one tael of silver It is likely to be equivalent to a thousand dollars in later generations. If this is the case, 12 is indeed not enough.

Fortunately, Li Congjia has the final say now, so he had to build a system by himself. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the simplest way, telling Ah Rong one dollar is equivalent to consistent money, and so on. , Are you really sure that it will not be imitated?"

Speaking of this, even Shi Xueting admired it very much: "Yes, it will definitely not be imitated, because the ink pad on the banknote is specially made, and each branch of the commercial bank has its own identification method, and some people wanted to test it before. After a while, I found that I didn’t know how to make the ink pad, so I couldn’t imitate it.”

After hearing this, Li Congjia felt that it would be beneficial if science and technology were not particularly developed. At least for the time being, he would not have to worry about counterfeit banknotes. That is... why did he feel that it was so offensive when the banknotes came out of Shi Xueting's mouth? ?

Because Ah Rong did a good job, Li Congjia decided to meet him, which was also fulfilling his original promise.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ah Rong, who he thought was supposed to be a young man, turned out to be a little lady!

She is also a very delicate and quiet lady. I have to say, if you just look at her appearance, no one will be able to see that this lady is so clean and neat, and her methods are super high.

Li Congjia was amazed at A Rong's youth, and A Rong also felt that Li Congjia was very young. After all, among the people she knew, those who stood up to date usually had a vicissitudes of life, and those who had a better life seemed too mature. Compared with other people, Li Congjia has the calmness of an adult man and the vitality of a young man, which is very rare, and Arong admires Li Congjia even more, thinking that he may have found the legendary elixir of youth.

However, in fact, the state of mind is different. This year has reached the age of 30, and everyone feels that it is already very big. However, in later generations, [-] years old is still very young, and it can even be said that life has just started. He does not feel that he is old at all. Ah, and his aesthetics are also a little different from today's. At least he still maintains a good figure and doesn't have a beard, so he looks young.

Li Congjia didn't look down on A Rong because she was young. After learning about the company's situation with her, she knew that there would be no major problems with her decision.

So, at the end of the first year of Yuanxi, the ministers who were about to close their pens and go home for the Spring Festival received a big red envelope from the emperor in addition to the statutory year-end bonus.

However, the expressions of the people who received the red envelopes were not very good - why are they still giving paper money when it's Chinese New Year?
