Li Longji is finally in heaven. Even if many ministers are shouting and screaming below, he can only hear from the sky and will not directly fall down. After a while, the ministers stood on the ground looking forward to the emperor’s safety. And they are ready to impeach Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
In fact, they wanted to impeach Zhang Zhong, but this matter was caused by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the two also had official positions, so Zhang Zhong could not be impeached or disciplined.
After this lively time, Li Longji finally came down from the sky and glanced at the hot air balloon reluctantly. He knew that it would not be easy if he wanted to ride in the future.
Gao Lishi was also accompanied by him. Listening to the ministers’ impeachment, he didn’t worry that Xiaobao and Juanjuan would have an accident. Get up and decapitate.
Li Longji casually found an excuse and ran away, leaving a group of ministers to discuss the impeachment tomorrow when they went to court. Li Longji, who escaped the minister's entanglement, did not forget to order others not to destroy the hot air balloon. Now, keep it well, maybe you can use it again.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are here to relax. The two of them have spent the whole day looking at the construction site. There is nothing else to do. The secret plan doesn't count.
The Japanese at Sihai Academy may think that the silver ore they bought is at a good price, so they send a batch to the county every few days. They don’t know how to bring so many ore, it doesn’t feel like an individual. Behavior is not something a small team can do.
The construction of the construction site has almost been carried out. The people have worked very hard, and the progress is very fast. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to fix the first model first, and then they can take time to visit Luzhou. Look, it is absolutely impossible not to occupy Luzon Island. It has been a month now, and new news has not come back. I don’t know if important people have been caught there.
The two did not know that the hot air balloon they sent to the capital had become a powder keg, and many people wanted to impeach them.
In the evening, Wang Juan found Xiao Hong, Pomegranate and Cherry, and said to the three of them: "The last thing was actually because Cherry had not found a person, otherwise no one would use that excuse to make ideas. , Xiaohong is said to be married next year and will give a big gift at home when that happens.
Pomegranate, cherry, how about you two? If there are any matches, they are all big. If you don’t marry again, you won’t be able to marry. "
Xiao Hong lowered her head silently when she heard the words of the little lady. It seemed that she wanted to get married next year. Pomegranate and Cherry had nothing to do with what they said before, but when they heard that they were going to be chosen instead of letting themselves When I went to find it, I became nervous immediately, afraid that I would choose one randomly, and then I would be someone I didn't like.
Upon seeing the reactions of the two people, Wang Juan was sure in his heart that both of them had their own people, but they didn’t show them, so he said to Cherry: “I think Huzi is a good person, not as good as next year and Xiaohong. They did it together."
"Little lady, Huzi has someone he likes, and he is in the yard. It's not me. I can't destroy them. I'm not in a hurry, really, in no hurry." Cherry quickly refused.
"It doesn't matter. Even if he has someone he likes, I will let him marry you. If he didn't tell me, I don't know. Anyway, you don't have someone you like. Just so, just listen to me." Wang Juan Said carelessly.
Cherry was really anxious now, her face flushed, and finally said very quietly: "In fact, Er Niu did not marry a wife."
"Oh... Erniu? Okay, I will ask Erniu again to see if he is willing or not." Wang Juan understood now that Cherry likes Erniu, and I don’t know what is better about Erniu. The name looks very simple and honest. , But people, it has nothing to do with honesty.
Cherry stopped talking now, and learned Xiao Hong's appearance, lowered her head, and fiddled with her clothes. She stopped talking, but the pomegranate next to her said, "Little lady, you don't have to ask Er Niu, You see, the hairpin on the cherry head is not the one she bought herself."
"Don't talk, don't talk." The cherry quit now, and came over to grab the pomegranate, while grabbing the pomegranate and venting the bottom of the pomegranate. Many times I have a bad appetite, so I have to get something to nourish my stomach and send it along. I walk up the river and reach Huayuan after passing the capital. After Huayuan is Sanshui, Sanshui is not as good as Xiaoluo water."
Now Wang Juan also knew who Pomegranate liked. It turned out to be Song Jinggong, who was nearly ten years older than Pomegranate. Seeing the two people fighting there, Wang Juan asked Xiaohong again: "Do you know whether Song Jinggong also liked Song Jinggong? Pomegranate?"
"Prince Song had someone send me a lot of pomegranates some time ago. There were me and cherries, but we were less. There were more pomegranates. There was also a small boat, folded in paper, with words written on it. I don’t know what it is, pomegranate just doesn’t let us read it."
Xiao Hong sold the pomegranate, thinking about it, and then said: "Also, after the pomegranate harvested things, she bought a ginseng and sent it to Song Gongzi. It is estimated that she will be there soon. Now she is working hard to study how to make it. Growing ginseng, it is said that ginseng is too expensive. If you always buy it, you will spend a lot of money, and you will have to spend more money in the future. It is better to grow it yourself."
Wang Juan suddenly, no wonder the pomegranate is always looking for sawdust. She thought she was studying mushrooms. Unexpectedly, it was ginseng. At this time, pomegranate and cherries were no longer disturbed. Hearing Xiao Hong's words, pomegranate was much more honest.
"Pomegranate, if you want to plant ginseng, you have to ask Xiaobao, Xiaobao should have some ideas, but you can't grow it like mushrooms, it won't grow at all, well, I know today, next year Xiaohong When you get married, you also have your share."
Wang Juan came over to ask, what she was most afraid of was that the three girls liked Zhang Xiaobao, that would be troublesome, she would never allow it, and she was afraid of making the three girls sad.
Fortunately, I have chosen the people I like. If that's the case, I don't need to ask any more.
The three of Xiaohong sent Wang Juan out of the house, then turned around and got into trouble again.
Zhang Xiaobao was still waiting for news from Wang Juan, and when Wang Juan came back, he asked, "Do you know who it is?"
"Guess what?" Wang Juan nodded, but said nothing.
"Where am I going to guess? As long as there are no outsiders, it's still annoying." Zhang Xiaobao was very eager to know who it was.
"It's all our people, one by one, secretly doing well, just like a spy, I will tell you when the time comes." Wang Juan smiled and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
…
The next morning, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the construction site again, the people from Sihai Academy came again. This time, unlike the past, they shipped an estimated 10,000 taels of silver ore. Zhang Xiaobao wondered if Japan had all All the ore is sent here for sale.
Wang Juan was very puzzled and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "What do they want to do with so many ore?"
"What else can I do? In addition to changing some money to buy technology, another purpose is to make us unable to eat at a time so that we can sell it to other merchants, otherwise they won't make money on the land they have contracted, and the purchase of straw will also start. It's not as effective as it should be."
Zhang Xiaobao said with certainty that he found the quantity of ore sold recently. It should have been using a certain batch of ore that was shipped first to consume his copper coins and cloth. This time it was a new shipment. Give support to two ways to make money.
"It turned out to be like this. I understand that the coal matter has been almost done, and it will be shipped to the place in two days. It is time to make a stove and collect the materials for making briquettes."
Wang Juan said, thought about it, and added: "At that time, we'd better be able to collect all the straw. Just when their plan fails, they will never really make the straw very useful. "
"Not only that, but I also plan to transport straw from other places and sell them to them together, letting them know that some places are not suitable for all tactics." Zhang Xiaobao thought a little bit more than Wang Juan.
"Then you make arrangements, if you are sleepy, go to bed early, and arrange to receive the arrival of officials from various quarters tomorrow. You need to make arrangements in advance to avoid mistakes at that time."
Wang Juan yawned and turned to let people boil water.
…
Three days later, a lot of people came out of Luoyang. Zhang Zhong led a group of officials and rushed towards Baoxin County. There were also people from Zhang Wang's family, including a house, with Xiaobei and the others. , This time they are going to follow their brother and sister.
This time the team is even bigger. All the officials have their own cars, plus the subordinates, and pull out a long team. When passing by a place, the people in this place are surprised to find a way to ask what's going on. , Is something serious
Xiaobei kept urging the team to hurry up. She wanted to see her brother and sister earlier, and officials from the places where the team walked should also make preparations in advance. If you want to meet them, you must at least prepare an order of wine and food.
As a result, Zhang Zhong always picked up wherever food and drinks were prepared. In his words, he wanted to see his son and daughter-in-law earlier. In fact, the real reason was that he was very disgusted with the local officials using government money to buy food. .
When some officials gave gifts, Zhang Zhong also kept his face calm and silent. People in the family were even more afraid to pick up other people's things. Just like this, Zhang Zhong seemed to offend people all the way along the way.
After five days of travel, when everyone was not too far away from Baoxin County, something happened finally. Some officials who prepared wine, food and gifts saw Zhang Zhong not giving face, and wrote a memorial to impeach Zhang Zhong. , Saying that he disturbs the people all the way, and also puts on airs to invite people to eat, etc., and so on.
People were sent to the capital with a fast horse, and it seemed that Zhang Zhong would not be reconciled unless he was disgusted once.
The ministers in the court had been impeaching Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a few days ago, but the result was never successful. As long as Li Longji is in the court, there are many, many things to discuss, all of which seem to be more important. For example, Fengchan, such as shipping, such as whether the spring ploughing in various places has been completed, and also ask which place has insufficient rain this year, and whether to open a permanent warehouse.
One thing after another prevented the ministers from immediately neglecting the business and then specifically mentioning the impeachment of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
At the time of the trouble, the papers for impeaching Zhang Zhong arrived one by one. The ministers discussed in private and began to use this as an excuse to impeach Zhang Zhong. See, let others do.
This is the case today. As soon as Li Longji went to the court, he didn’t wait to talk about how to talk about how to produce too much grain and how to help the Canal in farming. The ministers took out the memorials they wrote to Zhang Zhong. Attacked.
Some people said that he had a lot of money in his family and suspected that he was a fornicating businessman. Some people said that he was an official in Luoyang and led the officials out of the excuse to understand Datang. In fact, he gathered money for his family and collected a lot of money along the way.
Anyway, if you have everything, Zhang Zhong must be cleaned up.
When Li Longji listened at the beginning, he still found it very interesting. After listening to the various reasons of the officials, he had to admire the officials' ability in this regard.
But as he listened, his expression changed. The main reason was that someone impeached the private training generals of King Zhang's family. They were suspected of rebellion. The emperor sent someone to see if the guards of King Zhang's family had good weapons.
Hearing this place, Li Longji's eyes were fixed on Zhang Shuo. A few days ago, Zhang Shuo used such a similar excuse to speak. Could it be that Zhang Shuo was also involved in today's affairs
Zhang said that he still wanted to let others continue to talk, so that he could regain his uncontrollable power, but when the emperor looked over, he immediately knew that something was wrong. Why did someone mention Zhang Wang’s breakfast? matter? If this is not clear, doesn't the emperor think he is instructing him behind his back
As soon as that person's voice fell, Zhang said immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the weapons carried by the Zhang family’s guards are for the protection of technology, and they don’t want others to steal it. What’s wrong with the Zhang family’s It’s just that there are too many things that have been made. It should be done little by little, rather than many at the same time. Kechen feels that this also shows Zhang Zhong’s ability."
Li Longji's expression finally improved, and he nodded and motioned to Zhang to continue.
Zhang said with a sigh of relief, and then said: "The minister thought that he could send someone to Zhang Wang's family to check to see if they had any good skills recently. As for Zhang Zhong took Luoyang officials to Baoxin County, the minister Feeling that love is possible, there is a model of Gyeonggi Province in Baoxin County, and many officials are not very clear about Gyeonggi Province.
What's more, there will be models in other places in the future. Instead of letting the officials not understand, it is better to study them in the past so that the officials can better understand the affairs of my Datang. If anyone says that he understands Gyeonggi Province, the emperor might as well take a test. "
Zhang said that he didn't care whether he was wrong with other people who impeached Zhang Zhong. He only knew that if he didn't protect Zhang Zhong this time, he would be the first to be unlucky.
As soon as he said what he said, the people who had impeached Zhang Zhong just now stopped speaking, and became silent one by one. They were really afraid that the emperor would ask them about Gyeonggi Province, such as asking about the grain production in a certain county, such as asking Ask how much tax a certain state pays this year.
Where did they remember so clearly? The most feared thing was that the emperor asked them what the buildings in various places looked like, what kind of fish and shrimps there are in the river, not to look at many things, it sounds unreasonable, but as long as the emperor knows, And they don't know, it's not simple.
Li Longji saw that the people who were arguing about Zhang Zhong just now stopped talking, but didn't plan to let them go immediately, so he groaned and said:
"Check, you must check, not only the officials in Luoyang, but also the officials in the capital, to see which company has the wrong amount of things and money according to the salary, and it will be severely punished at that time, especially if it uses luxury goods. Officials, see which one has expensive sofas, which one has beautiful fish tanks and fish.
If something happened to Zhang Zhong's family, he would definitely be fined three years of salary and distributed to remote places. If something happened to other officials, the same was true. "
The meaning of Li Longji’s words is very clear. Anyone who has taken things from Wang Zhang’s family must be careful. As long as I find out, I won’t ask you who delivered it, only you. Is this thing affordable
At that time, I will pack everything up and see if you are afraid of not having three years of salary or Zhang Zhong is afraid, whether you are worried about going to remote places or Zhang Zhong is worried.
It’s no wonder that Li Longji is like this. The things he usually uses are given by the Zhang and Wang family. Something is that the Zhang and Wang family pay the money. The Zhang and Wang family’s money is said to be from their two families. It feels like It is the same as his own, after all, the usual spending of the Zhang Wang family is not too much.
It’s just normal use. I’ve never heard of people in their family going out to go out and throwing a lot of money. What’s even more impressive is that there are very few leftovers in their home, and they don’t have a large table of good things. Throw away after eating.
But for the disaster-affected places every year, I don’t hesitate to take out the money, and send it directly in the name of the court. The rest of the money is used for research, such as the medical school, which is just a money maker place.
Who doesn't know how the Zhang Wang family's money is made? How did you spend it? After cleaning up his family, Gyeonggi Province’s economy would have to drop by 50% along with it, not counting his family’s revenge.
Gao Lishi didn't say anything beside him, but he was happy. He saw the person who impeached Zhang Zhong one by one, remembering everyone, so that he could write to Xiaobao at that time, and he won't give this part in the future. People gave things away.
He understands what Li Longji meant, that is to say, you have the benefits of the Zhang family, and your body is not clean. He clearly knows what the money of the Zhang family is used for, and he has to take this matter, it’s not me. After one day, have you not been impeached
This is called En will revenge, clean up, clean up all together, see if all the hair is distributed to a remote place, who will live well in the end
Thinking of this, Gao Lishi couldn't help but want to laugh again. No matter which remote place the distribution was distributed to, the Zhang and Wang family were still so good. Even if they got the poorest place for them, they would have a way to build the place. , Lingnan is an example, see how you live
It's not just Gao Lishi who has this idea. Zhang Jiuling also thought of this, so she stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is feasible. If there are any irregularities in the officials, it is better to work with Zhang Zhong. It is distributed to the dangerous places of Lingnan, Luzhou can skip it, and there are other places in Lingnan."
The intensity of these words immediately shocked the officials who impeached Zhang Zhong. Even those who were not impeached were worried. There was only one Zhang Zhong in the Tang Dynasty, and he could live comfortably when he was sent to Lingnan. Day, who else has this ability
The court suddenly fell silent, everyone stopped talking, just waiting for Li Longji to make the final decision.
Li Longji glanced at Zhang Jiuling with satisfaction. This proposal is really great, Lingnan, let's see how many people can ask for it like Zhang Zhong did
When the decision was about to be made, the officials who had impeached Zhang Zhong changed their words one after another. Those words made people blush. Anything that was not good about Zhang and Wang's family just now became an advantage.
Those who said that Zhang Zhong had an illicit business with businessmen changed their words and said that Zhang Zhong might also help businessmen make money and prosper the local economy. Now they all know this theory and learn a lot of vocabulary.
The people who said that Zhang Zhong brought people to Baoxin County were saying that Zhang Zhong was trying to let the officials in the eastern capital know more about Gyeonggi Province. He said that Zhang Zhong had many soldiers in his family and had good weapons. He also had his own rhetoric. It is said that there are many officials in the two families of Zhang and Wang, some of whom are leading the war. They find more guards to practice the formation, not for their own use. As for the weapons, of course they are testing new equipment and risking a lot of danger.
Li Longji wanted to rush down and strangle all of them. Hearing that the people below found new excuses to excuse the Zhang family, Li Longji whispered to Gao Lishi: "Today I really feel very emotional, Zhang The royal family did a lot of business in private, but the money earned was also there. As long as the court needed it, they would take it out. There was never a time to hesitate.
These dozen or so officials have no money at home, but they are trying hard to make money. I really don’t know? When it's okay, they go to the restaurant to ask each other to eat. The Zhang and Wang family always acted in a way that was worthy of the court and the people. There is no place where people say they are not good.
What about an official? I don’t know what I think about all day long. Sometimes I think about what is loyalty, what is evil, what is righteous, and what is evil, you say. "
Gao Lishi rarely heard the emperor speak like this during his visit to the court. It seemed that he was really angry. It should be because the person who impeached Zhang Zhong only failed to stop the emperor from going to heaven that day, so he put his anger on Zhang Zhong. After thinking about it, he also replied in a low voice: "The advantage of war, the way of economy, it is right to use it for righteousness, the way to use it for evil is for evil, and the way of power is the same."
Li Longji nodded and listened to the people below who continued to change their words. He felt very boring and said: "I'll discuss this matter. Let me talk about the bridge repair. The two sides of the Yellow River are inconvenient. How can I repair it?"
"The minister thought that Zhang Zhong should be asked about this matter. He had successfully repaired a bridge in Shuzhou." The person who had been saying that Zhang Zhong was incapable just now stood up and said.
