President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 100
Zhu Xieli looked at Li Tan helplessly and said: "Stop making trouble, go back quickly, if the saint finds out..."
Li Tan threw something over, Zhu Xieli hurriedly caught it, looked carefully and said in surprise: "Liangzhou Inspector Seal? You...how did you become the Liangzhou Inspector? Is it because of me? about you?"
Zhu Xieli was a little regretful as he said that, he should have left immediately after being rescued by Li Tan, so that he would not be discovered.
Li Tan quickly took out another seal and said, "There's this and this..."
After Zhu Xieli took it, he lowered his head and glanced at it: ...
Hexi Jiedu envoy seals it, so it means that Li Tan now holds the military and political power in Hexi, but no matter how powerful he is, this is not a good place.
Li Tan stood on tiptoe and put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't offend anyone, I just wanted to go out for a walk by myself. Come here."
Zhu Xieli pursed his lips, he knew very well that even if Li Tan asked to come over, it was because of him.
Otherwise, with Li Tan's popularity, he could be the governor of Shangzhou.
How could such a poor place like Liangzhou deserve him to come?
Zhu Xieli hugged Li Tan's waist with his backhand and hugged him in his arms, and said very worriedly: "Liangzhou has been relatively unstable recently, it's not the right time for you to come now."
After hearing this, Li Tan felt very ashamed. He came to look for Zhu Xieli when he arrived in Liangzhou, and he didn't even have time to see the current situation in Liangzhou.
He asked in a low voice, "What's going on in Liangzhou now?"
"Drought." Zhu Xieli said: "However, drought is a common thing here, but because it has been drought for two consecutive years, if it continues to dry like this this year, it will need relief from the imperial court."
Li Tan frowned: "The imperial court allocates food here every year for disaster relief."
Zhu Xieli sneered and said, "Do you think it will be in the hands of the common people?"
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "That's just right, I want to see who is so bold as to play tricks under my nose."
Zhu Xieli said: "Let Tang Tang come back to you, the previous governor of Liangzhou... died unexpectedly."
Li Tan was a little surprised: "Didn't you say you died of illness?"
Zhu Xieli said: "Since the previous governor came here, in just three years, the whole family has almost died. Do you think this is normal?"
Li Tan was stunned, nodded and said: "If you don't tell me, I really don't know, don't worry, I know it well, not to mention if they poison me... It's really a miscalculation."
After all, no matter what kind of poison is at most a matter of pointing back to Luan, it won't take him too much time.
It's just that it's annoying that someone can threaten his life every day, so he really needs to sort out the state capital carefully.
Zhu Xieli still insisted: "Tang Tang..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Tang Tang will stay by your side, don't worry, my place is not that dangerous, on the contrary, your side is still very dangerous, how is life in the mountains, life is not easy?"
Li Tan touched Zhu Xieli's face with some distress. After losing weight for so long, Zhu Xieli still hasn't regained weight, and there is still a little fatigue between his brows. It is not easy to settle in a tribe matter.
What's more, he is only seventeen years old this year, and he is eighteen years old. Li Tan is really worried that he will not be able to bear such a heavy burden on him.
Zhu Xieli smiled: "At least there is already a place to stay."
Li Tan looked at him and said, "Wait for me for a while, after I clean up the entire Liangzhou Mansion, you can bring your people over here, and I'll set aside a place for you."
Zhu Xieli immediately said sternly: "This is not acceptable. If someone knows that you have read a copy, even if the saint favors you, once you are convicted of collaborating with the enemy, you will not be able to get away."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "Then let no one know."
Zhu Xieli shook his head and said, "No, I still want to get in touch with Tubo."
After he finished speaking, he hesitated and said: "I know you have no treatment for Tubo..."
Li Tan waved his hands and said, "Follow your own pace, don't worry about me, you won't join Tubo anyway, and the grievances between Tubo and Datang are our business."
Hearing what he said, Zhu Xieli felt more and more guilty, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't have too much involvement with Tubo."
Li Tan said seriously: "You are now far from Tubo in terms of strength. Even if you make contact, it's just bartering with each other. Well, if you need anything, just tell me. Don't think that Liangzhou is poor because I am poor. Here I am." Liangzhou won't be poor anymore, at worst, you can exchange things with me."
Zhu Xieli laughed and shook his head: "What can I have?"
Li Tan leaned over and said, "Why not? You are the greatest treasure, beauty~"
While talking, he kissed the corner of Zhu Xieli's lips. Zhu Xieli was caught off guard and molested by him, and he couldn't hold back and pressed him against the tree next to him to kiss.
When Li Tan was finally let go, he was in a daze, wondering if he would faint due to lack of oxygen.
After such closeness, the two of them stopped discussing business affairs. After all, although Li talked about the border, it was not so easy for the two of them to meet each other.
How silly it is to spend your limited time talking about business matters that may not come to fruition at all.
When they finally parted, Li Tan comforted Zhu Xieli and said to himself: "It will be fine when I smooth out Liangzhou, and then I won't have to be so sneaky."
The more Zhu Xieli listened, the more worried he became: "Don't be too anxious. After all, the governor of Liangzhou came from a local rich family. I'm afraid it won't be easy to subdue him. You must be careful."
Li Tan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have seen a lot of big families, not to mention that no matter how difficult it is, will the officials in Beijing be difficult to deal with? Those people can't do anything to me, let alone him, a little long history."
Zhu Xieli saw that Li Tan was full of confidence, so he didn't say anything more. He also believed that Li Tan knew it well.
Before leaving, Li Tan asked: "I brought my mother and your sister here, do you want to see them? Do you want them to stay in Liangzhou, or let them come to you?"
Zhu Xieli hesitated for a moment and said: "Let them stay with you, the conditions here are still a bit worse."
Of course, he let his mother and sister stay at Li Tan's place not only because of the good environment, but in fact, the environment in Liangzhou Prefecture was a little better than his current camp.
In fact, he was putting his mother and sister as "hostages" in Li Tan's place in a disguised form, telling the other party that he would definitely go back to find him, no matter what their identities were at that time.
And he really doesn't care about things like identity, at worst, the two of them will go far away.
After hearing this, Li Tan also felt that this was the truth, but he still said: "Well, I'll go back and ask my mother, if she is willing to stay, then I will stay, if she doesn't want to, I will send someone to send her there, I think... Mother, maybe she would rather be with you."
Zhu Xieli froze for a moment before laughing: "You are more careful than me, well, you can ask my mother for me."
Li Tan nodded, and reluctantly parted from Zhu Xieli.
Although he was reluctant, his mood was much better than when he was in Chang'an.
At least they had a chance to meet each other. When they were in Chang'an, they really... felt like they might never see each other in this lifetime.
Li Tan's good mood was curtailed a little after he returned to the state capital.
After all, Du Fu's expression was too serious, so serious that he thought the sky was falling.
Du Fu looked at Li Tan and sighed, "Your Majesty, this Liangzhou Prefecture... is a bit troublesome."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How troublesome is it? Let me hear it?"
Du Fu said: "Don't say anything else, you should go and see the Governor's Mansion first."
After Li Tan arrived, he temporarily lived in the post house. After all, it was already very late the first day he arrived. Today, he asked someone to tidy up the governor's mansion, and he... secretly went to meet his lover.
He followed Du Fu to the governor's mansion and took a look. When he stood at the door, he knew that he didn't need to go in - there was nothing at the gate, and there was a pile of what shouldn't be, and there was even a lot of construction waste.
After reading it, Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, the governor's mansion is newly built? Haven't the bricks been cleaned up?"
Du Fu said in a low voice: "The inside is even more excessive, and it can't be cleaned up in a day."
As soon as Du Fu finished his sentence, someone said behind him: "I pay homage to Your Highness King Ning, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
Li Tan's head was full of black lines, where the hell did he learn this?It is not popular in Datang to greet you like this.
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man in an official robe behind him. The man should be a local barbarian with a dark complexion and a fat head and big ears.
The moment Li Tan saw him, he wanted to greet him: Second senior brother, how are you?
Fortunately, he held back and didn't say anything, just as he was about to ask who the other party was, that person came up and said: "The next official is Shi Hekuan, governor of Liangzhou."
Li Tan nodded reservedly: "He Changshi."
He Kuan said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty came to plead guilty. The Governor's Mansion has not been cleaned up yet, so please punish him, Your Highness."
Li Tan stared at him for a long while, and when He Kuan was a little suspicious, he suddenly heard the young prince in front of him say directly: "Then fine you a year's salary."
After hearing this, the smile on He Kuan's face was almost unstoppable, and he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his burning eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but sneer a couple of times, as if he didn't know that He Kuan's so-called plea was just an act?
What's more, the other party is likely to use pleading guilty as an excuse to come and see his jokes.
After all, it is obvious that the governor's mansion has been made like this to show him off.
I don't know if He Kuan is used to running amok in the local area, so he actually used such a dirty way.
He actually compared such a person with the officials of the Beijing Central Committee before, which was really an insult to the officials of the Beijing Central Committee.
Seeing that Li Tan was about to leave, He Kuan hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Your Majesty knows your mistake, please be merciful to His Royal Highness Prince Ning! I have no salary, and this family is going to drink the northwest wind."
Li Tan walked in and said slowly: "Then let's replace it with work. Anyway, it seems that there is a lot of work in the Governor's Mansion. I just want to ask someone to come and clean it up."
He Kuan was dumbfounded, it was different from what he thought.
In the past, the officials from the middle of the capital wanted more face than the other, and in order to show their generosity, they would usually hold back their anger. Why is this different?
Seeing the expression on his face from the corner of his eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is it very unexpected? But it's just right, let you know my temper, let me tell you, the governors selected by the imperial court in the past, all There is one feature, that is, it is very reasonable, but I also have a feature, that is, it is very unreasonable, I say that you may not understand it now, but you will gradually understand later.”
As Li Tan talked, he didn't seem to see He Kuan's already black face, and patted him on the shoulder.
He Kuan struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Your Highness is joking."
Li Tan shook his index finger and said, "No, no, this is really not a joke. After all, I was notoriously unreasonable when I was in Chang'an. If you don't believe me, go ask... Oh, Li Linfu has passed away. An Lushan also ran away, well, if you know people from Yushitai, maybe you can ask them, they will tell you why I am unreasonable."
He Kuan's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect this prince to be so difficult, but there was nothing strange about it. After all, this prince was young, and it was said that he was very favored.
It doesn't matter, he doesn't only have this method.
He turned his head and glanced at his followers, one of them immediately understood, nodded, turned his head and ran away.
When Du Fu was about to say something after seeing it, Li Tan raised his hand to stop Du Fu.
He just wanted to see what other methods these people had.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he walked through the entire Governor's Mansion, and suddenly he missed Meng Zhiya a little bit.
But fortunately, before he left, Meng Zhiya asked him to bring over a few named apprentices he taught. Although he may not have Meng Zhiya's skills, designing and building a palace should not be a problem.
After turning around, Li Tan turned to Qingkong and said, "It's enough to clean up a little bit so that people can live in it. Later, let Zhang Ye and Liu Chang supervise the construction of the palace. Anyway, we will move into the palace in the future."
He Kuan's face twitched when he heard it, and he was deeply aware of the trouble of a prince assassin.
Just as Li Tan was about to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people approaching on the street, led by a burly man with a scar on his face.
The big man walked over with his head held high, and said a series of words with an accent: "Who is the new governor?"
Li Tan glanced at He Kuan and said, "I am."
After looking at him with a scar face, his attitude softened a lot: "Xiao Langjun's thin skin and tender flesh are really handsome and tight."
Before Wang Wei, who was beside Li Tan, could speak, He Kuan scolded, "Presumptuous, His Highness Ning Wang is also something you can judge?"
With a look of indifference on Scar's face, he raised his chin and said, "Even if it's a prince, it's only natural to pay off debts."
Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? I don't even know you, so why do I owe you money?"
Scarface said: "The one who owes me money is not you but the governor."
While talking, he shook out a piece of paper and said: "Here, this is an IOU. The former governor lost the governor's mansion to me, so this governor's mansion should belong to me, right?"
The guard next to Li Tan took the paper and presented it to him. He looked down and found that it was indeed an IOU, but there was only a handprint on the IOU, without any other signature.
After reading it, Li Tan said: "Although it looks real, how can you prove that this is the handprint of the governor? Could it be that the dignified governor can't even write? Even if he doesn't want to write, there are seals, none of these , just relying on this one fingerprint, you say this is an IOU from the governor?"
Scarface immediately said: "My big head, Chen, has always said one thing and another. It is well known in Liangzhou. Your Highness can't wrong me like this."
Li Tan sneered: "I haven't punished you yet, you should say that I wronged you first."
Scarface immediately said: "I am the sufferer, what is my crime?"
Li Tan asked: "It doesn't matter whether this IOU is true or not. The Governor's Mansion is a public property of the state and not owned by one person. No one is qualified to use it as collateral. If you accept it and dare to come here to ask for the debt, it is illegal. Do you understand?"
Scarface asked: "Could it be that the governor still reneges on his debt?"
Li Tan suddenly asked: "You said it was owed by the former governor, so I would like to ask how it was owed? Why didn't you ask him for it?"
Scarface said: "He didn't have any money to lose, so he used this as a mortgage. He said that he would hand over the Governor's Mansion to me when he left office. Who knew that he died suddenly overnight. I had no choice but to Came to ask for your account."
"Gambling?" Li Tan asked, "You run a casino?"
Scarface raised his head and said: "Exactly, so please honor this IOU, Your Highness, otherwise..."
Li Tan understands, this is looking for local snakes.
He Kuan himself still had a little bottom line, or he didn't want to make a move by himself, so he found this scarred face and made an IOU of unknown authenticity.
Li Tan said with his hands behind his back, "Where is your gambling house? I want to see how Liangzhou's gambling house compares to Chang'an."
Scarface frowned: "Your Highness, do you want to renege on the debt?"
Li Tan smiled: "Who said that? Since you said that the previous governor's mansion was lost by the governor, then I can win it back?"
Scarface glanced at He Kuan, who slowly closed his eyes at him.
Scarface resolutely agreed and said: "If so, please come with me, Your Highness."
Li Tan immediately took people to the casino with him.
When he got there, he realized that that place might be the most prosperous place in Liangzhou, with gambling shops, brothels and restaurants, but the people who went in and out didn't look like good people.
Of course, it is also possible that he was wearing tinted glasses. He stood at the gate of the gambling house, watching the people coming and going, and thought of the yellow and emaciated people he saw at the gate of the city when he entered the city before.
Suddenly he was in a bad mood, and he became very unreasonable when he was in a bad mood. When Dao Scar asked him to go in with a malicious smile, his face sank, and he turned to the guard beside him and said, "Damn it!" !"
His guards were also well-trained. After hearing this, they went in without saying a word and began to smash the scene.
Scarface never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse. Yes, who would have thought that this young man would just laugh at Yan Yan and was ready to take a bet with him very confidently, but when he got here, he immediately started messing around.
Zhi Yi, who was sitting on Li Tan's shoulder, took a sympathetic look at Scarface, thinking that He Kuan and this guy should get to know Li Tan first.
After all, when Li Tan was in Chang'an, he was the kind of guy who would throw the table over if you didn't let me have a good time.
Now after he was provoked by King Jianning to fall ill once, it got worse.
Scarface saw Li Tan's people go in and beat up wantonly, even his guards were a bit of an opponent, so he couldn't help but said viciously: "Your Highness is too ignorant of the rules..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tan interrupted him, and said arrogantly: "Now this is my territory, and I will be the one to tell the rules."
Scarface snorted coldly: "If you want to talk about the rules, it depends on whose fist is bigger!"
After he finished speaking, he whistled, and then a group of tall barbarians rushed out from the nearby brothel and wine shop.
He Kuan said hypocritically from the side: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be impulsive."
Surrounded by barbarians, Li Tan didn't show any fear on his face, he snapped his fingers and said, "Then take a look."
Then everyone heard the sound of heavy footsteps in unison.
They looked up following the sound and saw a group of heavily armed soldiers running towards here. Because the line was endless, they didn't even know how many people there were for a while!
After the group of soldiers came over, they quickly took control of the place. There were quite a few under Scarface's subordinates, but the total number of those people was no more than a hundred.
Li Tan snapped his fingers and summoned at least 300 people, not to mention that the soldiers were all wearing armor and the weapons they held were all very sophisticated, but just depending on the number of people, they couldn't win with the scarred faces.
At this time, Scarface was directly pressed to the ground, and he no longer had the lawless appearance just now.
He Kuan was a little better than him, at least he was still standing, but his standing was not very stable.
He looked at Li Tan almost in horror, not to mention him, everyone on the street looked at this young man in prince's costume in horror.
Li Tan stood there with his hands behind his back and said: "This prince is new here, you may not know his temper well, but after today, you should know what to do. By the way, by the way, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the prince has three hundred Personal guards, but the saint thought that the king was traveling far away, so he pardoned the king and accompanied by thousands of guards."
When Li Tan said this, he turned to look at He Kuan and smiled and said, "These thousand people are all well-trained elite soldiers. If anyone refuses to accept it, you can try it."
Everyone was silent for a moment, not daring to say a word.
Li Tan looked down at the scarred face and asked, "Now...can the master talk about the IOU?"
Scarface was still being pressed to the ground at this moment, so he could only struggle and shout: "I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Li Tan knelt down and asked, "Oh? It's only natural to pay off debts. Where did you go wrong?"
Scarface argued: "This IOU was given to me by someone else. I was greedy for a while. It was my fault that I went to His Highness without verifying the authenticity!"
Li Tan smiled. Although the scarred face looked big and thick, but his mind was really fast, and he thought of such a reason.
He didn't really want to kill Scarface, so he said: "Since that's the case, you should pay more attention next time. If it's someone else who doesn't owe any money, but has to pay back the money, wouldn't it be unfair?"
Scarface said quickly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Li Tan stood up and said, "If you are the first offender, you should be imprisoned in a dungeon for three days as a punishment."
Scarface immediately cried and begged for mercy, and Li Tan immediately said, "One more word will add another day!"
Scarface immediately shut up and didn't dare to make another sound. He had a hunch that this young man could do what he said.
Li Tan looked around and was satisfied to see the fear on other people's faces.
Then he swaggered away with the people.
He didn't even look at He Kuan when he left.
However, He Kuan didn't dare to say a word.
After Scarface was imprisoned in the dungeon, he touched Li Tan while he was resting and said, "Brother, you have been wronged for two days. This time it was my brother's mistake. I will apologize to you when you come out."
Scarface looked at him angrily and said: "He Changshi, you have made brother miserable this time. What did you say before? The strong dragon does not suppress the snake? The result? This is not only a strong dragon, but also Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
He Kuan said again and again: "It's my brother's fault, but I didn't expect him to be so domineering and bring so many people. In the past, those who came here to be governors either had no background or offended others. Whoever comes here will be left alone." No matter how hard your bones are, don't bow your head to us? But this King Ning... I really don't understand."
If you have a background and are favored, why do you travel all the way to Liangzhou to suffer?
Scarface snorted and said, "I don't care what happens to him, you'd better hope that he goes back to be his grandson soon, otherwise... none of us can live a happy life!"
When Scarface thought of his family being smashed into a messy gambling house, he felt distressed for a while. It would cost money to repair it, not to mention that he had already lost a lot today.
Coupled with the losses from the suspension of business in the past few days, especially the fact that the croupiers he had hired before had gone to nowhere, and he had to find someone when he went out, it was even more distressing to think about it.
He Kuan made repeated apologies, and waited until Scarface finally calmed down before leaving.
When he reached the gate of the prison, he spit hard and said, "What are you proud of? I'll make you look good sooner or later!"
If it wasn't because he had too much involvement with Scarface, and he was worried that Scarface would confess him, how could he be humble to a gangster?
He Kuan stood at the door thinking for a while, and suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
If this person died in the prison, others would only think that it was King Ning's hand.
And as long as this person dies, his criminal evidence will naturally disappear.
Just when He Kuan was thinking about how to kill Scarface, what he was worried about happened.
When Li Tan sent someone to smash it, he specifically asked Wang Wei to find a relatively hidden place to see if he found anything new.
As a result, Wang Wei actually found three small boxes.
The box was not heavy, and it was locked. Li Tan hesitated for a while and asked someone to bring it back.
When he didn't open the lock, he preliminarily judged that these boxes must not contain gold and silver treasures.
If it is gold and silver treasures, it will not be of this weight.
He asked someone to use aqua regia to open the lock and said: "If you have any questions, please ask quickly. I have a lot of things, and I may not have a chance to answer them later."
He said this to Yang Bing.
Yang Bian has been following him for a long time, and the expression on his face makes him upset.
Yang Bing asked with some embarrassment: "It's...it's nothing, just...would the king be too impulsive like this? Before I came, my third uncle told me to be careful, after all, strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes."
After hearing this, Li Tan sneered and said, "Why does a strong dragon not overwhelm a local snake? Let me tell you, anyone who can't overpower a local snake is not a strong dragon!"
Yang Bing looked at Li Tan seriously thinking about whether he had left the capital, so he broke the seal.
Li Tan was never so unreasonable before.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Tan said: "Of course it was a little rough and simple this time, but I don't have time to spend with them. There are so many things waiting for me to do. They should be sensible and honest, so I won't touch them for now. "
Yang Bing unexpectedly asked: "Temporarily?"
Li Tan nodded: "Yes, for the time being, the two of them have colluded with officials and businessmen, and they must have done many illegal things."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boxes were opened, and after opening, they were full of booklets.
After Li Tan took it out, he flipped through it, and he was stunned: "What is this?"
What was written on it looked like ghostly drawn symbols, and he didn't understand a single word!
Wang Wei walked over, picked up a book, looked at it and said, "Turkic language."
Li Tan was silent for a moment. Does he still need to learn a foreign language?
Wang Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty, just leave it to me."
Li Tan was quite surprised: "Wang Changshi can speak Turkic?"
Wang Wei said modestly, "I just know a thing or two."
Li Tan reckoned that it would take some time for him to learn even now, so he directly handed it over to Wang Wei.
He flipped through all the brochures, and suddenly realized something—how could the Turkic language written on it be different from the ones he had seen before?
He hastily removed the wolf teeth from his neck, and compared them carefully for a long time before confirming that the wolf teeth were definitely not Turkic.
So Zhu Xieli is fooling him?
What is the reason?
He wondered for a while and asked, "Does anyone know what this word is?"
Wang Wei came over to take a look and said, "Why does this word look like it was in the pre-Qin period? Zimei, come and take a look."
Chen Chong, the newly appointed commander of the guards, also came over to have a look, and asked a little strangely, "This is the language of the State of Wu during the Warring States period, and there are still people using this word?"
Li Tan was even more puzzled after hearing this: "You didn't admit your mistake?"
Before Chen Chong could speak, Wang Wei suddenly said, "I remembered, this is engraved with Yue Ren Song."
When he said this, he couldn't help looking at Li Tan and teasingly said: "It turned out to be a token of love from the young lady, but this is a bit too roundabout, does the king know now?"
"Song of the Yue People"... probably the most widely circulated in the whole poem is the last two lines: the mountains have trees, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king does not know it.
Thinking back to when Zhu Xieli lied to him that it was a Turkic prayer poem, he felt both funny and sad.
At the beginning, Zhu Xieli probably never thought of being able to say this sentence, but he couldn't help it, so he expressed it in the most obscure way.
Li Tanxin thought that when he saw Zhu Xieli next time, he would make fun of him.
Seeing Li Tanxiao's rippling face and carefully bringing the wolf's teeth back to his neck again, Wang Wei and Chen Chong looked at each other, turned around and left
Wang Wei said in a low voice while walking: "I heard that the king is not close to women, and he is devoted to Taoism, but now it seems that this is not the case."
Chen Chong nodded and walked out. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: It is the custom of barbarians to send his sweetheart Langya, and it is the custom of men to give it away. Their king...
Chen Chong always felt that he knew something important by accident.
For a moment, he was quite confused, and he turned his head to look at Wang Wei, who didn't know anything about it, and didn't know whether to tell him or not.
Feeling his sight, Wang Wei turned his head to look at him, and asked a little strangely: "What's the matter with your expression? Is there any problem?"
After thinking about it seriously, Chen Chong decided to keep this matter to himself, so he shook his head.
Li Tan didn't know that he was accidentally exposed again, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, after arriving in Liangzhou, he will definitely not be as cautious as he was in Beijing.
After handing over the account book to Wang Wei, Li Tan began to investigate the drought.
If you don't check, you don't know. If you check, you will be shocked. According to the records of Liangzhou in the past two years, there have been severe droughts every year.
Every severe drought will result in crop failure.
In the past two years, they could rely on the government to release grain to survive. If the drought continues this year, the government's granary will not be able to support it, and they can only rely on the government to allocate grain.
However, according to Zhu Xieli, the imperial court did not go to Liangzhou much every time it allocated grain.
They will be exploited layer upon layer on the road, and every time the governor of Liangzhou is absent, those officials will argue that this is normal loss, and as for the large loss...of course it is because of the long distance.
Li Tan heard that the journey was far away.After the four words, I was still a little puzzled. There is a granary not far from Liangzhou, so why is it so far away?
He opened the past file and looked at it, and suddenly laughed angrily. He didn't adjust the grain nearby, but he actually transferred it from Luoyang all the way. Are you sick?
This gives people the feeling that it is for greed!
Li Tan originally wanted to solve it himself, but now it seems that even he can't make the grain grow overnight, and he still needs to apply for grain adjustment first.
After Li Tan finished writing the official memorial, he wrote to Yang Guozhong directly, asking him to think of a way to beat it, and not to stretch his hand too much.
If it's really going too far, don't blame Li Tan for flipping the table.
When Yang Guozhong received the letter, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "31 Lang is really a nobleman of my Yang family."
He had wanted to trouble some people, especially Li Linfu's followers, and this was just right.
Just as he was thinking about how to use this trick, Li Tan was losing his temper.
He originally thought that those books were just the current accounts of the gambling house, but he didn't expect that they were the accounts of human trafficking!
And it is to sell the Han people to the Turks or even the Tubo people as slaves!
Not only that, there are records of them smuggling salt, ironware and grain.
This is the real enemy!
Not only He Kuan was involved, but even all state officials were involved.
The so-called aristocratic families in the local area are not alone.
No wonder those people rejected the governor sent by the imperial court so much.
If this matter gets involved, one of these people will die!
This immediately poked Li Tan's Ni Lin, he said with a sneer: "It seems that the whole state capital is really rotten to the root."
Just as he was about to bring up Scarface for questioning, he saw Chen Chong come in and say, "Your Majesty, Hatamu died suddenly in the prison."
Li Tan had no expression on his face, he threw the ledger on the table and said coldly: "You are quick enough, you think you can kill him once and for all? Ask me if I agree!"

Li Tan threw something over, Zhu Xieli hurriedly caught it, looked carefully and said in surprise: "Liangzhou Inspector Seal? You...how did you become the Liangzhou Inspector? Is it because of me? about you?"
Zhu Xieli was a little regretful as he said that, he should have left immediately after being rescued by Li Tan, so that he would not be discovered.
Li Tan quickly took out another seal and said, "There's this and this..."
After Zhu Xieli took it, he lowered his head and glanced at it: ...
Hexi Jiedu envoy seals it, so it means that Li Tan now holds the military and political power in Hexi, but no matter how powerful he is, this is not a good place.
Li Tan stood on tiptoe and put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't offend anyone, I just wanted to go out for a walk by myself. Come here."
Zhu Xieli pursed his lips, he knew very well that even if Li Tan asked to come over, it was because of him.
Otherwise, with Li Tan's popularity, he could be the governor of Shangzhou.
How could such a poor place like Liangzhou deserve him to come?
Zhu Xieli hugged Li Tan's waist with his backhand and hugged him in his arms, and said very worriedly: "Liangzhou has been relatively unstable recently, it's not the right time for you to come now."
After hearing this, Li Tan felt very ashamed. He came to look for Zhu Xieli when he arrived in Liangzhou, and he didn't even have time to see the current situation in Liangzhou.
He asked in a low voice, "What's going on in Liangzhou now?"
"Drought." Zhu Xieli said: "However, drought is a common thing here, but because it has been drought for two consecutive years, if it continues to dry like this this year, it will need relief from the imperial court."
Li Tan frowned: "The imperial court allocates food here every year for disaster relief."
Zhu Xieli sneered and said, "Do you think it will be in the hands of the common people?"
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "That's just right, I want to see who is so bold as to play tricks under my nose."
Zhu Xieli said: "Let Tang Tang come back to you, the previous governor of Liangzhou... died unexpectedly."
Li Tan was a little surprised: "Didn't you say you died of illness?"
Zhu Xieli said: "Since the previous governor came here, in just three years, the whole family has almost died. Do you think this is normal?"
Li Tan was stunned, nodded and said: "If you don't tell me, I really don't know, don't worry, I know it well, not to mention if they poison me... It's really a miscalculation."
After all, no matter what kind of poison is at most a matter of pointing back to Luan, it won't take him too much time.
It's just that it's annoying that someone can threaten his life every day, so he really needs to sort out the state capital carefully.
Zhu Xieli still insisted: "Tang Tang..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Tang Tang will stay by your side, don't worry, my place is not that dangerous, on the contrary, your side is still very dangerous, how is life in the mountains, life is not easy?"
Li Tan touched Zhu Xieli's face with some distress. After losing weight for so long, Zhu Xieli still hasn't regained weight, and there is still a little fatigue between his brows. It is not easy to settle in a tribe matter.
What's more, he is only seventeen years old this year, and he is eighteen years old. Li Tan is really worried that he will not be able to bear such a heavy burden on him.
Zhu Xieli smiled: "At least there is already a place to stay."
Li Tan looked at him and said, "Wait for me for a while, after I clean up the entire Liangzhou Mansion, you can bring your people over here, and I'll set aside a place for you."
Zhu Xieli immediately said sternly: "This is not acceptable. If someone knows that you have read a copy, even if the saint favors you, once you are convicted of collaborating with the enemy, you will not be able to get away."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "Then let no one know."
Zhu Xieli shook his head and said, "No, I still want to get in touch with Tubo."
After he finished speaking, he hesitated and said: "I know you have no treatment for Tubo..."
Li Tan waved his hands and said, "Follow your own pace, don't worry about me, you won't join Tubo anyway, and the grievances between Tubo and Datang are our business."
Hearing what he said, Zhu Xieli felt more and more guilty, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't have too much involvement with Tubo."
Li Tan said seriously: "You are now far from Tubo in terms of strength. Even if you make contact, it's just bartering with each other. Well, if you need anything, just tell me. Don't think that Liangzhou is poor because I am poor. Here I am." Liangzhou won't be poor anymore, at worst, you can exchange things with me."
Zhu Xieli laughed and shook his head: "What can I have?"
Li Tan leaned over and said, "Why not? You are the greatest treasure, beauty~"
While talking, he kissed the corner of Zhu Xieli's lips. Zhu Xieli was caught off guard and molested by him, and he couldn't hold back and pressed him against the tree next to him to kiss.
When Li Tan was finally let go, he was in a daze, wondering if he would faint due to lack of oxygen.
After such closeness, the two of them stopped discussing business affairs. After all, although Li talked about the border, it was not so easy for the two of them to meet each other.
How silly it is to spend your limited time talking about business matters that may not come to fruition at all.
When they finally parted, Li Tan comforted Zhu Xieli and said to himself: "It will be fine when I smooth out Liangzhou, and then I won't have to be so sneaky."
The more Zhu Xieli listened, the more worried he became: "Don't be too anxious. After all, the governor of Liangzhou came from a local rich family. I'm afraid it won't be easy to subdue him. You must be careful."
Li Tan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have seen a lot of big families, not to mention that no matter how difficult it is, will the officials in Beijing be difficult to deal with? Those people can't do anything to me, let alone him, a little long history."
Zhu Xieli saw that Li Tan was full of confidence, so he didn't say anything more. He also believed that Li Tan knew it well.
Before leaving, Li Tan asked: "I brought my mother and your sister here, do you want to see them? Do you want them to stay in Liangzhou, or let them come to you?"
Zhu Xieli hesitated for a moment and said: "Let them stay with you, the conditions here are still a bit worse."
Of course, he let his mother and sister stay at Li Tan's place not only because of the good environment, but in fact, the environment in Liangzhou Prefecture was a little better than his current camp.
In fact, he was putting his mother and sister as "hostages" in Li Tan's place in a disguised form, telling the other party that he would definitely go back to find him, no matter what their identities were at that time.
And he really doesn't care about things like identity, at worst, the two of them will go far away.
After hearing this, Li Tan also felt that this was the truth, but he still said: "Well, I'll go back and ask my mother, if she is willing to stay, then I will stay, if she doesn't want to, I will send someone to send her there, I think... Mother, maybe she would rather be with you."
Zhu Xieli froze for a moment before laughing: "You are more careful than me, well, you can ask my mother for me."
Li Tan nodded, and reluctantly parted from Zhu Xieli.
Although he was reluctant, his mood was much better than when he was in Chang'an.
At least they had a chance to meet each other. When they were in Chang'an, they really... felt like they might never see each other in this lifetime.
Li Tan's good mood was curtailed a little after he returned to the state capital.
After all, Du Fu's expression was too serious, so serious that he thought the sky was falling.
Du Fu looked at Li Tan and sighed, "Your Majesty, this Liangzhou Prefecture... is a bit troublesome."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How troublesome is it? Let me hear it?"
Du Fu said: "Don't say anything else, you should go and see the Governor's Mansion first."
After Li Tan arrived, he temporarily lived in the post house. After all, it was already very late the first day he arrived. Today, he asked someone to tidy up the governor's mansion, and he... secretly went to meet his lover.
He followed Du Fu to the governor's mansion and took a look. When he stood at the door, he knew that he didn't need to go in - there was nothing at the gate, and there was a pile of what shouldn't be, and there was even a lot of construction waste.
After reading it, Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, the governor's mansion is newly built? Haven't the bricks been cleaned up?"
Du Fu said in a low voice: "The inside is even more excessive, and it can't be cleaned up in a day."
As soon as Du Fu finished his sentence, someone said behind him: "I pay homage to Your Highness King Ning, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
Li Tan's head was full of black lines, where the hell did he learn this?It is not popular in Datang to greet you like this.
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man in an official robe behind him. The man should be a local barbarian with a dark complexion and a fat head and big ears.
The moment Li Tan saw him, he wanted to greet him: Second senior brother, how are you?
Fortunately, he held back and didn't say anything, just as he was about to ask who the other party was, that person came up and said: "The next official is Shi Hekuan, governor of Liangzhou."
Li Tan nodded reservedly: "He Changshi."
He Kuan said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty came to plead guilty. The Governor's Mansion has not been cleaned up yet, so please punish him, Your Highness."
Li Tan stared at him for a long while, and when He Kuan was a little suspicious, he suddenly heard the young prince in front of him say directly: "Then fine you a year's salary."
After hearing this, the smile on He Kuan's face was almost unstoppable, and he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his burning eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but sneer a couple of times, as if he didn't know that He Kuan's so-called plea was just an act?
What's more, the other party is likely to use pleading guilty as an excuse to come and see his jokes.
After all, it is obvious that the governor's mansion has been made like this to show him off.
I don't know if He Kuan is used to running amok in the local area, so he actually used such a dirty way.
He actually compared such a person with the officials of the Beijing Central Committee before, which was really an insult to the officials of the Beijing Central Committee.
Seeing that Li Tan was about to leave, He Kuan hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Your Majesty knows your mistake, please be merciful to His Royal Highness Prince Ning! I have no salary, and this family is going to drink the northwest wind."
Li Tan walked in and said slowly: "Then let's replace it with work. Anyway, it seems that there is a lot of work in the Governor's Mansion. I just want to ask someone to come and clean it up."
He Kuan was dumbfounded, it was different from what he thought.
In the past, the officials from the middle of the capital wanted more face than the other, and in order to show their generosity, they would usually hold back their anger. Why is this different?
Seeing the expression on his face from the corner of his eyes, Li Tan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is it very unexpected? But it's just right, let you know my temper, let me tell you, the governors selected by the imperial court in the past, all There is one feature, that is, it is very reasonable, but I also have a feature, that is, it is very unreasonable, I say that you may not understand it now, but you will gradually understand later.”
As Li Tan talked, he didn't seem to see He Kuan's already black face, and patted him on the shoulder.
He Kuan struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Your Highness is joking."
Li Tan shook his index finger and said, "No, no, this is really not a joke. After all, I was notoriously unreasonable when I was in Chang'an. If you don't believe me, go ask... Oh, Li Linfu has passed away. An Lushan also ran away, well, if you know people from Yushitai, maybe you can ask them, they will tell you why I am unreasonable."
He Kuan's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect this prince to be so difficult, but there was nothing strange about it. After all, this prince was young, and it was said that he was very favored.
It doesn't matter, he doesn't only have this method.
He turned his head and glanced at his followers, one of them immediately understood, nodded, turned his head and ran away.
When Du Fu was about to say something after seeing it, Li Tan raised his hand to stop Du Fu.
He just wanted to see what other methods these people had.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he walked through the entire Governor's Mansion, and suddenly he missed Meng Zhiya a little bit.
But fortunately, before he left, Meng Zhiya asked him to bring over a few named apprentices he taught. Although he may not have Meng Zhiya's skills, designing and building a palace should not be a problem.
After turning around, Li Tan turned to Qingkong and said, "It's enough to clean up a little bit so that people can live in it. Later, let Zhang Ye and Liu Chang supervise the construction of the palace. Anyway, we will move into the palace in the future."
He Kuan's face twitched when he heard it, and he was deeply aware of the trouble of a prince assassin.
Just as Li Tan was about to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people approaching on the street, led by a burly man with a scar on his face.
The big man walked over with his head held high, and said a series of words with an accent: "Who is the new governor?"
Li Tan glanced at He Kuan and said, "I am."
After looking at him with a scar face, his attitude softened a lot: "Xiao Langjun's thin skin and tender flesh are really handsome and tight."
Before Wang Wei, who was beside Li Tan, could speak, He Kuan scolded, "Presumptuous, His Highness Ning Wang is also something you can judge?"
With a look of indifference on Scar's face, he raised his chin and said, "Even if it's a prince, it's only natural to pay off debts."
Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? I don't even know you, so why do I owe you money?"
Scarface said: "The one who owes me money is not you but the governor."
While talking, he shook out a piece of paper and said: "Here, this is an IOU. The former governor lost the governor's mansion to me, so this governor's mansion should belong to me, right?"
The guard next to Li Tan took the paper and presented it to him. He looked down and found that it was indeed an IOU, but there was only a handprint on the IOU, without any other signature.
After reading it, Li Tan said: "Although it looks real, how can you prove that this is the handprint of the governor? Could it be that the dignified governor can't even write? Even if he doesn't want to write, there are seals, none of these , just relying on this one fingerprint, you say this is an IOU from the governor?"
Scarface immediately said: "My big head, Chen, has always said one thing and another. It is well known in Liangzhou. Your Highness can't wrong me like this."
Li Tan sneered: "I haven't punished you yet, you should say that I wronged you first."
Scarface immediately said: "I am the sufferer, what is my crime?"
Li Tan asked: "It doesn't matter whether this IOU is true or not. The Governor's Mansion is a public property of the state and not owned by one person. No one is qualified to use it as collateral. If you accept it and dare to come here to ask for the debt, it is illegal. Do you understand?"
Scarface asked: "Could it be that the governor still reneges on his debt?"
Li Tan suddenly asked: "You said it was owed by the former governor, so I would like to ask how it was owed? Why didn't you ask him for it?"
Scarface said: "He didn't have any money to lose, so he used this as a mortgage. He said that he would hand over the Governor's Mansion to me when he left office. Who knew that he died suddenly overnight. I had no choice but to Came to ask for your account."
"Gambling?" Li Tan asked, "You run a casino?"
Scarface raised his head and said: "Exactly, so please honor this IOU, Your Highness, otherwise..."
Li Tan understands, this is looking for local snakes.
He Kuan himself still had a little bottom line, or he didn't want to make a move by himself, so he found this scarred face and made an IOU of unknown authenticity.
Li Tan said with his hands behind his back, "Where is your gambling house? I want to see how Liangzhou's gambling house compares to Chang'an."
Scarface frowned: "Your Highness, do you want to renege on the debt?"
Li Tan smiled: "Who said that? Since you said that the previous governor's mansion was lost by the governor, then I can win it back?"
Scarface glanced at He Kuan, who slowly closed his eyes at him.
Scarface resolutely agreed and said: "If so, please come with me, Your Highness."
Li Tan immediately took people to the casino with him.
When he got there, he realized that that place might be the most prosperous place in Liangzhou, with gambling shops, brothels and restaurants, but the people who went in and out didn't look like good people.
Of course, it is also possible that he was wearing tinted glasses. He stood at the gate of the gambling house, watching the people coming and going, and thought of the yellow and emaciated people he saw at the gate of the city when he entered the city before.
Suddenly he was in a bad mood, and he became very unreasonable when he was in a bad mood. When Dao Scar asked him to go in with a malicious smile, his face sank, and he turned to the guard beside him and said, "Damn it!" !"
His guards were also well-trained. After hearing this, they went in without saying a word and began to smash the scene.
Scarface never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse. Yes, who would have thought that this young man would just laugh at Yan Yan and was ready to take a bet with him very confidently, but when he got here, he immediately started messing around.
Zhi Yi, who was sitting on Li Tan's shoulder, took a sympathetic look at Scarface, thinking that He Kuan and this guy should get to know Li Tan first.
After all, when Li Tan was in Chang'an, he was the kind of guy who would throw the table over if you didn't let me have a good time.
Now after he was provoked by King Jianning to fall ill once, it got worse.
Scarface saw Li Tan's people go in and beat up wantonly, even his guards were a bit of an opponent, so he couldn't help but said viciously: "Your Highness is too ignorant of the rules..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tan interrupted him, and said arrogantly: "Now this is my territory, and I will be the one to tell the rules."
Scarface snorted coldly: "If you want to talk about the rules, it depends on whose fist is bigger!"
After he finished speaking, he whistled, and then a group of tall barbarians rushed out from the nearby brothel and wine shop.
He Kuan said hypocritically from the side: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be impulsive."
Surrounded by barbarians, Li Tan didn't show any fear on his face, he snapped his fingers and said, "Then take a look."
Then everyone heard the sound of heavy footsteps in unison.
They looked up following the sound and saw a group of heavily armed soldiers running towards here. Because the line was endless, they didn't even know how many people there were for a while!
After the group of soldiers came over, they quickly took control of the place. There were quite a few under Scarface's subordinates, but the total number of those people was no more than a hundred.
Li Tan snapped his fingers and summoned at least 300 people, not to mention that the soldiers were all wearing armor and the weapons they held were all very sophisticated, but just depending on the number of people, they couldn't win with the scarred faces.
At this time, Scarface was directly pressed to the ground, and he no longer had the lawless appearance just now.
He Kuan was a little better than him, at least he was still standing, but his standing was not very stable.
He looked at Li Tan almost in horror, not to mention him, everyone on the street looked at this young man in prince's costume in horror.
Li Tan stood there with his hands behind his back and said: "This prince is new here, you may not know his temper well, but after today, you should know what to do. By the way, by the way, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the prince has three hundred Personal guards, but the saint thought that the king was traveling far away, so he pardoned the king and accompanied by thousands of guards."
When Li Tan said this, he turned to look at He Kuan and smiled and said, "These thousand people are all well-trained elite soldiers. If anyone refuses to accept it, you can try it."
Everyone was silent for a moment, not daring to say a word.
Li Tan looked down at the scarred face and asked, "Now...can the master talk about the IOU?"
Scarface was still being pressed to the ground at this moment, so he could only struggle and shout: "I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Li Tan knelt down and asked, "Oh? It's only natural to pay off debts. Where did you go wrong?"
Scarface argued: "This IOU was given to me by someone else. I was greedy for a while. It was my fault that I went to His Highness without verifying the authenticity!"
Li Tan smiled. Although the scarred face looked big and thick, but his mind was really fast, and he thought of such a reason.
He didn't really want to kill Scarface, so he said: "Since that's the case, you should pay more attention next time. If it's someone else who doesn't owe any money, but has to pay back the money, wouldn't it be unfair?"
Scarface said quickly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Li Tan stood up and said, "If you are the first offender, you should be imprisoned in a dungeon for three days as a punishment."
Scarface immediately cried and begged for mercy, and Li Tan immediately said, "One more word will add another day!"
Scarface immediately shut up and didn't dare to make another sound. He had a hunch that this young man could do what he said.
Li Tan looked around and was satisfied to see the fear on other people's faces.
Then he swaggered away with the people.
He didn't even look at He Kuan when he left.
However, He Kuan didn't dare to say a word.
After Scarface was imprisoned in the dungeon, he touched Li Tan while he was resting and said, "Brother, you have been wronged for two days. This time it was my brother's mistake. I will apologize to you when you come out."
Scarface looked at him angrily and said: "He Changshi, you have made brother miserable this time. What did you say before? The strong dragon does not suppress the snake? The result? This is not only a strong dragon, but also Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
He Kuan said again and again: "It's my brother's fault, but I didn't expect him to be so domineering and bring so many people. In the past, those who came here to be governors either had no background or offended others. Whoever comes here will be left alone." No matter how hard your bones are, don't bow your head to us? But this King Ning... I really don't understand."
If you have a background and are favored, why do you travel all the way to Liangzhou to suffer?
Scarface snorted and said, "I don't care what happens to him, you'd better hope that he goes back to be his grandson soon, otherwise... none of us can live a happy life!"
When Scarface thought of his family being smashed into a messy gambling house, he felt distressed for a while. It would cost money to repair it, not to mention that he had already lost a lot today.
Coupled with the losses from the suspension of business in the past few days, especially the fact that the croupiers he had hired before had gone to nowhere, and he had to find someone when he went out, it was even more distressing to think about it.
He Kuan made repeated apologies, and waited until Scarface finally calmed down before leaving.
When he reached the gate of the prison, he spit hard and said, "What are you proud of? I'll make you look good sooner or later!"
If it wasn't because he had too much involvement with Scarface, and he was worried that Scarface would confess him, how could he be humble to a gangster?
He Kuan stood at the door thinking for a while, and suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
If this person died in the prison, others would only think that it was King Ning's hand.
And as long as this person dies, his criminal evidence will naturally disappear.
Just when He Kuan was thinking about how to kill Scarface, what he was worried about happened.
When Li Tan sent someone to smash it, he specifically asked Wang Wei to find a relatively hidden place to see if he found anything new.
As a result, Wang Wei actually found three small boxes.
The box was not heavy, and it was locked. Li Tan hesitated for a while and asked someone to bring it back.
When he didn't open the lock, he preliminarily judged that these boxes must not contain gold and silver treasures.
If it is gold and silver treasures, it will not be of this weight.
He asked someone to use aqua regia to open the lock and said: "If you have any questions, please ask quickly. I have a lot of things, and I may not have a chance to answer them later."
He said this to Yang Bing.
Yang Bian has been following him for a long time, and the expression on his face makes him upset.
Yang Bing asked with some embarrassment: "It's...it's nothing, just...would the king be too impulsive like this? Before I came, my third uncle told me to be careful, after all, strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes."
After hearing this, Li Tan sneered and said, "Why does a strong dragon not overwhelm a local snake? Let me tell you, anyone who can't overpower a local snake is not a strong dragon!"
Yang Bing looked at Li Tan seriously thinking about whether he had left the capital, so he broke the seal.
Li Tan was never so unreasonable before.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Tan said: "Of course it was a little rough and simple this time, but I don't have time to spend with them. There are so many things waiting for me to do. They should be sensible and honest, so I won't touch them for now. "
Yang Bing unexpectedly asked: "Temporarily?"
Li Tan nodded: "Yes, for the time being, the two of them have colluded with officials and businessmen, and they must have done many illegal things."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boxes were opened, and after opening, they were full of booklets.
After Li Tan took it out, he flipped through it, and he was stunned: "What is this?"
What was written on it looked like ghostly drawn symbols, and he didn't understand a single word!
Wang Wei walked over, picked up a book, looked at it and said, "Turkic language."
Li Tan was silent for a moment. Does he still need to learn a foreign language?
Wang Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty, just leave it to me."
Li Tan was quite surprised: "Wang Changshi can speak Turkic?"
Wang Wei said modestly, "I just know a thing or two."
Li Tan reckoned that it would take some time for him to learn even now, so he directly handed it over to Wang Wei.
He flipped through all the brochures, and suddenly realized something—how could the Turkic language written on it be different from the ones he had seen before?
He hastily removed the wolf teeth from his neck, and compared them carefully for a long time before confirming that the wolf teeth were definitely not Turkic.
So Zhu Xieli is fooling him?
What is the reason?
He wondered for a while and asked, "Does anyone know what this word is?"
Wang Wei came over to take a look and said, "Why does this word look like it was in the pre-Qin period? Zimei, come and take a look."
Chen Chong, the newly appointed commander of the guards, also came over to have a look, and asked a little strangely, "This is the language of the State of Wu during the Warring States period, and there are still people using this word?"
Li Tan was even more puzzled after hearing this: "You didn't admit your mistake?"
Before Chen Chong could speak, Wang Wei suddenly said, "I remembered, this is engraved with Yue Ren Song."
When he said this, he couldn't help looking at Li Tan and teasingly said: "It turned out to be a token of love from the young lady, but this is a bit too roundabout, does the king know now?"
"Song of the Yue People"... probably the most widely circulated in the whole poem is the last two lines: the mountains have trees, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king does not know it.
Thinking back to when Zhu Xieli lied to him that it was a Turkic prayer poem, he felt both funny and sad.
At the beginning, Zhu Xieli probably never thought of being able to say this sentence, but he couldn't help it, so he expressed it in the most obscure way.
Li Tanxin thought that when he saw Zhu Xieli next time, he would make fun of him.
Seeing Li Tanxiao's rippling face and carefully bringing the wolf's teeth back to his neck again, Wang Wei and Chen Chong looked at each other, turned around and left
Wang Wei said in a low voice while walking: "I heard that the king is not close to women, and he is devoted to Taoism, but now it seems that this is not the case."
Chen Chong nodded and walked out. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: It is the custom of barbarians to send his sweetheart Langya, and it is the custom of men to give it away. Their king...
Chen Chong always felt that he knew something important by accident.
For a moment, he was quite confused, and he turned his head to look at Wang Wei, who didn't know anything about it, and didn't know whether to tell him or not.
Feeling his sight, Wang Wei turned his head to look at him, and asked a little strangely: "What's the matter with your expression? Is there any problem?"
After thinking about it seriously, Chen Chong decided to keep this matter to himself, so he shook his head.
Li Tan didn't know that he was accidentally exposed again, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, after arriving in Liangzhou, he will definitely not be as cautious as he was in Beijing.
After handing over the account book to Wang Wei, Li Tan began to investigate the drought.
If you don't check, you don't know. If you check, you will be shocked. According to the records of Liangzhou in the past two years, there have been severe droughts every year.
Every severe drought will result in crop failure.
In the past two years, they could rely on the government to release grain to survive. If the drought continues this year, the government's granary will not be able to support it, and they can only rely on the government to allocate grain.
However, according to Zhu Xieli, the imperial court did not go to Liangzhou much every time it allocated grain.
They will be exploited layer upon layer on the road, and every time the governor of Liangzhou is absent, those officials will argue that this is normal loss, and as for the large loss...of course it is because of the long distance.
Li Tan heard that the journey was far away.After the four words, I was still a little puzzled. There is a granary not far from Liangzhou, so why is it so far away?
He opened the past file and looked at it, and suddenly laughed angrily. He didn't adjust the grain nearby, but he actually transferred it from Luoyang all the way. Are you sick?
This gives people the feeling that it is for greed!
Li Tan originally wanted to solve it himself, but now it seems that even he can't make the grain grow overnight, and he still needs to apply for grain adjustment first.
After Li Tan finished writing the official memorial, he wrote to Yang Guozhong directly, asking him to think of a way to beat it, and not to stretch his hand too much.
If it's really going too far, don't blame Li Tan for flipping the table.
When Yang Guozhong received the letter, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "31 Lang is really a nobleman of my Yang family."
He had wanted to trouble some people, especially Li Linfu's followers, and this was just right.
Just as he was thinking about how to use this trick, Li Tan was losing his temper.
He originally thought that those books were just the current accounts of the gambling house, but he didn't expect that they were the accounts of human trafficking!
And it is to sell the Han people to the Turks or even the Tubo people as slaves!
Not only that, there are records of them smuggling salt, ironware and grain.
This is the real enemy!
Not only He Kuan was involved, but even all state officials were involved.
The so-called aristocratic families in the local area are not alone.
No wonder those people rejected the governor sent by the imperial court so much.
If this matter gets involved, one of these people will die!
This immediately poked Li Tan's Ni Lin, he said with a sneer: "It seems that the whole state capital is really rotten to the root."
Just as he was about to bring up Scarface for questioning, he saw Chen Chong come in and say, "Your Majesty, Hatamu died suddenly in the prison."
Li Tan had no expression on his face, he threw the ledger on the table and said coldly: "You are quick enough, you think you can kill him once and for all? Ask me if I agree!"
