Tang Dynasty Never Night

In fact, those bandits didn't come after Li Xian. Li Xian was the one who was implicated. Although he is a bandit, he knows who can mess with who and who can't. His Royal Highness Zhou Wang has such a mighty team , all the soldiers are strong and horses are strong, the bandits don't dare to rob easily, okay?

The bad thing is that they robbed a rich family in front of the bandits, but the rich family was not stupid, and spilled some money to attract the bandits to scramble for it, and then they fled all the way under the protection of the guards. When it comes to King Zhou's team, if it is usually a wealthy household, they will definitely stay away. After all, the wealthy households are not ordinary people, even if they don't know who is coming, they can be separated from the guard of honor.

Now... Nothing is more important than saving your life. When he saw Li Xian's bike frame, the rich man was so happy that he ran over from a distance. He didn't mind being stopped by the guards, and just knelt on the ground and cried. Snot and tears.

The guards are all embarrassing, it's fine if she's a pretty lady, Nima, a middle-aged uncle with a protruding belly... looks very unsightly.

But what the rich man said was enough to make people take it seriously, and a guard hurriedly ran back to report.Li Xian was rocking to sleep in the carriage, and then found that the carriage had stopped. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Just as he was about to send someone to ask, he saw a little guard running over panting and saying, "Your Majesty, the carriage frame has been damaged." The salt merchant stopped him, saying that there are bandits ahead."

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched. To be honest, after experiencing the siege of Tubo, he was no longer afraid of bandits. A hundred people are enough to deal with bandits, right?

"Ask how many bandits are there and where are they? Now we are in...Chenzhou, right? How far is it to the station?"

"Going back to the king, there are still about ten miles away from the post station. According to the salt merchant, the bandits are not far ahead, I'm afraid we have to detour."

Li Xian waved his hand and asked him to go to culture first. The salt merchants didn't know much, but Li Xian mainly wanted to know how these bandits were dressed and armed, so he could judge the strength of these bandits.

It's just that he didn't intend to suppress the bandits. There is a governor in the Zhechong Mansion, so what is he doing?He just passed by, and he doesn't need to gain political achievements and reputation, but it's not a good thing to keep the bandits here to harm the people, so Li Xian thinks it's better to send a post to the governor of Chenzhou to suppress the bandits. Of course, the governor may not have many soldiers and horses, and he might have to tell the local Zhechong mansion.

Tsk, I knew it would be troublesome to go out.Depressed, Li Xian stopped the carriage and rested for a while, and then sent someone to send a message to the governor of Chenzhou and the local captain of Zhechong Prefecture.

The governor of Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong were waiting at the inn, even if the king of Zhou was passing by, he would come to see them. Do you dare to put on airs with the prince because you want to die here for the rest of your life?

In order not to disturb the bandits, the people of Li Xian sent a detour and rushed to the post station. The governor of Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong who were talking in the post station that they should be arriving soon, their legs were weak when they received the news.This nima, if King Zhou is robbed by bandits in their territory, no, no, there is no need to rob, as long as King Zhou is rammed by bandits, they won't even think about it.

The governor of Chenzhou made a decisive decision to ask Captain Zhechong to send someone to suppress the bandits. The captain was also a little entangled. Logically speaking, the best thing to do is to go there by himself, so that he can show importance, but King Zhou is here. After he went to suppress the bandits, he would not be able to meet the King of Zhou. Although meeting him may not have a great future, it is better to swipe his face once than not at all.

The Governor of Chenzhou is a kind man, so he asked Captain Zhechong to send Captain Guo Yi under his command to suppress the bandits. In fact, they already knew that there were bandits in this place, but those bandits were also pitiful people, because they suffered from the disaster last year. Those who were affected, more and more people were turned into bandits due to severe disasters these years, and there were also many people who dragged their families to serve as slaves for wealthy households.

So to be honest, these bandits were indulged by the governor of Chenzhou, and they also secretly made an agreement with them that they should be optimistic about the robbers. For example, those businessmen robbed casually. Of course, some of the things the bandits robbed were also given to Chen. Otherwise, how could this bandit have survived for so long?

In the past, they lived in peace, and those who were robbed by mountain bandits could only consider themselves unlucky-the situation in the mountains is complicated. At this time, it is not the same as in later generations. There are so many people and nowhere to go. Traveling or something goes deep into the mountains, and there are many ravines They have all been turned into tourist areas. At this time, the danger level of the mountains and forests is not low. Bandits cover their faces and rob people without killing people.

As a result, something went wrong this time, Governor of Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong looked ashen, thinking how angry King Zhou is?

In fact, King Zhou is not angry at all. It's not that he doesn't know what's going on with the bandits, but this year should be okay, and life is not too sad. There are still bandits in Chenzhou, so it's something to do with the local officials. Great relationship.

The governor of Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong personally brought people to meet King Zhou. No matter how blind the bandits were, they knew that something was wrong, so they ran away in a hurry.When Li Xian heard that they were coming, he didn't get out of the car, but asked people to pull the curtains and sit in the car to watch them salute, and then said: "Okay, don't be polite, this is not a place to talk, first go to the post station talk later."

Governor Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong both bowed their heads in response, wondering if they were angry or not?If you said you were angry, your tone would be too kind, but if you said you were not angry... put it in another way, if they were stuck on the road and said it was because of bandits, they would be depressed.

And the salt merchant who blocked the frame just now was completely dumbfounded.It’s true that many businessmen are very rich these days, but the status of this class is relatively low. As long as they meet an official, even a ninth-rank sesame official, they will stay low and be small. Now that they have blocked the prince’s frame, he Already starting to tremble, this...is this fatal?

How could Li Xian kill him because of this matter?What's more, if it wasn't for this businessman, their huge convoy encountered bandits in the past. Although they were not afraid, it would take a long time, and his people would have to suffer a bit. Know where it will hit?

So I was a little grateful to this salt merchant, Li Xian. After hearing that he was on the road alone, and all the money he had just carried was gone, Li Xian asked Wei Cheng to ask someone to take the merchant on a journey.

Wei Cheng didn't remind Li Xianhe that it was inappropriate, anyway, he was just taking someone with him, and in Wei Cheng's eyes, it was no different from bringing a kitten or puppy. lose value.

Li Xian was led to the inn by the governor of Chenzhou and the local captain Zhechong. When he got there, he found that the reception and banquet had already been arranged. Originally, the governor of Chenzhou wanted Li Xian to go to his house, but he didn’t know about the dead house. Is there a common problem that he doesn't like to go to other people's homes? Even if it's a post station, he can tell himself that this is a hotel, but he feels psychologically uncomfortable when he lives in someone else's home.

Li Xian took a brief rest and entered the banquet. During the banquet, he didn't blame these two. What is there to blame?Could it be that he can still give up the official positions of these two people because of this matter?Moreover, he knew about Chenzhou, it wasn't too good but it wasn't too bad either. In other words, the governor of Chenzhou had some ability, but he wasn't particularly capable, and another person might not be able to do better than him.

It's just that the governor of Chenzhou ate this meal quite uneasy. The attitude of Zhou Wang seemed to be the same as if he had never met a robber, but they were all thinking whether Zhou Wang really didn't pursue it, or whether they were preparing in their hearts. What about the book?

To be honest, even if Li Xian got angry at them with a black face, they could feel at ease, as if nothing had happened like now... a bit unbearable.

After eating, Li Xian saw that the two of them were fidgeting. The governor of Chenzhou gritted his teeth and began to plead guilty. Li Xian smiled slightly: "Didn't you already send people to suppress the bandits? What should we do when it's almost time?" Bar."

Li Xian made it clear that he would not intervene in this matter. Governor of Chenzhou and Captain Zhechong breathed a sigh of relief, and when Li Xian was about to leave the next day, he received all kinds of "filial piety".Li Xian was in a bad mood when he saw those jewels. In front of the governor, he also served as the governor of Anxi Governor's Mansion and the governor of Yangzhou. He is very clear about the salaries of the current officials. If he didn't give anything away, Li Xian might really turn a blind eye.

But he gave it... Li Xian had to think, how could he afford these things with his salary?The pearls are round and smooth, not too small, and there are all kinds of precious square inks, which cannot be supported by the official salary of the governor of Chenzhou.

Of course, the governor of Chenzhou is also from a family, but he is not from a big family, how could he be so rich?Damn, I knew you were greedy!Li Xian was so angry that he couldn't do anything, he could only send someone to return the things when he was leaving, and then angrily wrote a letter to Li Zhi, and then set off on the road.

Li Zhi hadn't moved after reading the booklet, and Li Xian couldn't tell what Li Zhi wanted to do.Is this the rhythm of turning a blind eye?Li Xian also knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and not everyone in his palace is so clean, but...do you dare to be more arrogant?The country's finances are tight, and you are poaching the corners of the country here. If Li Xian did it one by one, it would be hard to find three-legged toads, and wouldn't people with two legs be everywhere? !

Annoyed Li Xian had just arrived in Yangzhou and received an imperial edict from Li Zhi. The edict did not mention anything about officials being greedy for ink, but only asked him to find a place to worship after he arrived in Yangzhou, so that the weather would be good this year.

Li Xian had black lines all over his head after seeing it, but he still had to give orders, so after the long-lost governor of Yangzhou, the first order he received was this ==!

Of course, this is not a big deal, after all, such things as sacrifices are cooked casually once raw, cooked secondly, cooked three times, and fourthly, but Li Zhi's other request is particularly deceitful, oh, it is a particularly deceitful son.

What does it mean to ask him to write the sacrificial text himself? How can he have this level? This person is not afraid that after he writes the sacrificial text and burns it, God will be angry... another disaster will happen.

However, when Li Zhi issued an edict, Li Xian could only write a letter to complain to Zheng Qi, and then began to think about the sacrificial oracle by himself. I can write it out.

After finishing writing, find a time to set up a sacrificial ceremony to burn the sacrificial text, Li Xian has completed a task, and turned around, he started to sort out Yangzhou's internal affairs.

In fact, Li Xian knew in his heart that the main purpose of his coming here was to build ships, but it seemed that everyone knew that Li Zhi didn't want to do it, and wanted to do it in private, so he was given an official position and asked him to come. Tossing here, in fact...letting Li Xian manage the general affairs of a state at Li Xian's level?Oh, not just common affairs, but also military affairs?Isn't this funny?

After Li Xian arrived, he received a lot of posts. The county magistrates of the counties under Yangzhou and other officials, big and small, all sent posts. Li Xian held a banquet after resting for two days and invited everyone over. .

To be honest, before meeting Li Xian, Yangzhou was a little nervous from top to bottom. I was afraid that the little prince who came here would want a new official to take office. Yangzhou has always been among the top taxpayers in the country, so The transfer of officials here is not particularly frequent, and the people who come and go are basically acquaintances, and a certain network of relationships has been formed. I am afraid that ordinary people will be restricted by them when they come here. In the end, they will not become part of this network. It is to be wrapped up or repelled by this net, and thrown elsewhere.

But this one... is not someone who can be excluded casually. If you dare to exclude him, he will turn around and complain to his own father. The most important thing is that this is still a child—even if Li Xian has words, he can't cover up his current situation. Only 15 years old fact.

In addition, the distance between Chenzhou and Yangzhou is not too far, and there are some contacts between them. The governor of Chenzhou was pushed back to give gifts, and he quickly wrote to his colleagues in Yangzhou. One was to ask them to intercede with King Zhou One is to remind them that the king of Zhou might just...

Who knew that after the meeting, Li Xian was unusually friendly, and he didn't seem to be a particularly destructive master. He also politely said to Biejia Changshi and the others: "I'm not very proficient in common affairs and so on. , all of them are capable people, and I will learn from them in the future."

Everyone's hearts...half let go. They didn't come up to give them a blow, and they didn't rush to seize power. Li Xian's steamed bun face has grown a little now, probably because he has been immersed in the high-level for a long time, and he has gradually taken on the refreshing atmosphere unique to the people of Chang'an. There are a few more beautiful ones than this King of Zhou.

During the banquet, Li Xian kept smiling. In fact, he was... very painful. I have to say that in this era, the appointment of officials sometimes depends on the hometown. After all, the country is so big, and there is no standard for Mandarin, although everyone I am proud of being able to speak politely, but that is in Chang'an, and when I go to other places... I may not see a few people who speak politely in my life. Even if these officials in Yangzhou are not from Yangzhou, they are all from the vicinity. Even if you try to speak elegant words, you still have a Yangzhou flavor!

So Li Xian encountered the same problem as when he first passed through—he had to adapt to the dialect here first!What a beep dog!

Because if the other party speaks Yangzhou dialect, it is no different from speaking code words in front of him, so at first Li Xian didn't want to bother, so you can continue to do what you should do, anyway, I have something to do, wait I figured out what you mean by what you said, and I will deal with you later!

Yes, even the governor of Chenzhou can make such a big deal, he doesn't believe that everyone in Yangzhou is so clean and clean!

To be honest, at first, everyone didn't believe that Li Xianzhen didn't do anything. As a result, for several days in a row, His Royal Highness King Zhou ran to the seaside, and even found a place to build a house by the seaside. Everyone was dumbfounded.

During the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou had a relatively large territory, so Yangzhou had the sea, but it was not very close to Yangzhou City.

Logically speaking, the governor is going to sit in the city of Yangzhou, but Li Xian waved his small hand: I can rest assured that you do things well, you have done a good job in the past, keep working hard now, and I don't care.So he turned around and ran to the beach.

Li Xian is also very excited. The sea in Yangzhou is within the scope of the East China Sea. The temperature and salinity of the East Sea are relatively high, so Yangzhou is rich in salt. The most important thing is that it is also rich in various seafood, such as large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail , cuttlefish and the like, the saliva will flow out just thinking about it.

And he also has his own considerations for building a house here. The climate here is good, so he must get a sea view house or something!It would be even better if I can take Zheng Qi here for vacation when I have time!

So during the first month of his arrival, Li Xian was busy with his house.At the beginning, no one thought that Li Xian had such an attribute. He really... let go of everything. At most, he just looked at the official documents, and he looked at all the documents that needed his approval. The top is the personal flesh stamp - the decision is made by the top officials together with the officials below.

After a month of observation, everyone was relieved—it's okay, this is a dude, everyone, go to bed, don't worry.

Li Xian saw that they were not so tense anymore, and he was also laughing in his heart, really thought I didn't understand anything?Bah, even if I don't understand anything, the people I bring will always understand, so you just have to fiddle with it, and when you're pretty much fiddled with, I'll catch them all in one go!

Now he is going to be busy with the shipyard. Before that, he was making troubles at the seaside, mainly to deceive others. Li Zhi said that he had found someone for him, but he was already waiting at the shipyard. He had no purpose, so he simply started to enclose a large area by the seaside to get some private sea area and resort for himself-not to mention, it feels good to be a local tyrant, the most important thing is that these places are not used much at all money!

There is no way, there are many saline-alkali lands by the sea, which are not suitable for growing crops, so the price is relatively much cheaper.Like a nouveau riche, Li Xian almost encloses the land around the coastline - the reason why he didn't enclose it is because... there is still a seaport here, and the seaport is a national facility. Want to buy it?What about dying?

The people over there stopped staring at him, Li Xian turned his head and plunged into the shipyard, and then...began to be devastated.He just couldn't figure it out. After countless time travelers and seniors traveled smoothly, what did they want to do? Why did they have all kinds of troubles when they came to him?

Engage in telescopes—well, this thing is not difficult to obtain, but the result is more painful, that is, to support property rights to be owned by the state, and the manufacturing plan to be kept secret by the state, from beginning to end...Although he got it last time, he still contributed it Two glass workshops were established.

Engaging in explosives... This is simply the operation of the state department. The trick is that before doing this, he also produced kraft paper.

Till now, the only thing that is still in his hands is tiles, but there is no such thing as a patent these days. Tiles sold ideas in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many people who can make them. He made them earlier here and sold them. In less than two days, someone from other places started copying the village. Although there were still a lot of money, Li Xian was still very depressed.

When it comes to shipbuilding... the craftsman Li Zhi recruited suddenly confused him with a series of professional terms - many professional terms these days are different from him in later generations!Li Xian also thought about handing over the design drawings to them, and let them finish it directly. He is still very confident in his design drawings. After all, nerds love models, and the models they buy still need to be assembled by themselves. The models are all proportionally reduced, and there is basically no problem in drawing them.

In order to let everyone understand, Li Xian even asked his craftsmen to make a scaled-down model of a relatively simple freighter.The model is made of wood, a little rough, but it is basically involved, and the most important thing is that it can be dismantled, so that it is more convenient for Li Xian to demonstrate to them.

The boatmen are all veterans, and there are actually no stupid people who can do technical work these days, not to mention how could Li Zhi find stupid people?But now comes the problem, my dear, this model of yours is easy to make, but if you want to make a ship directly according to this model... that is wishful thinking!

Many parts cannot be manufactured now, because many places need to be precise to a certain extent, and this is an era without machines and computers, and those fine parts cannot be manufactured at all!The most deceitful thing is that Li Xian habitually uses displacement as a unit when describing ships, but... everyone can't understand!

Li Xian is so desperate that he wants to popularize the concept of displacement first, but these days... the unit of ton has not appeared yet!

Li Xian: Damn it!Is it too late for him to quit now?
