Chapter 113 Official Camp
Chapter 113 Official Camp
In the first year of Yuanhe, the emperor made great contributions to Li Xiangde, and made up his son with shade, and became Lang Zhongling.
This edict came out a bit suddenly, but it is also reasonable. The people under Li Xiang's family naturally celebrated with their foreheads and hands. This fight, although a bit evil to the emperor, still convinced the emperor who has no hair yet. After being softened, Lao Shizi's "evil government" of measuring land and adding taxes was no longer publicized.
Although Lang Zhongling is only a seventh-rank Sanjue, it is the emperor's kindness to Xiang Li, how can everyone not be happy?
Everyone knows that Li Xiang has only one son, and at the beginning of the year he went to the Bingzhou frontier to serve as a seventh-rank captain of Tuntian. People sigh.
Although there are many concubines of Prime Minister Li, there is only one who is with him and carefully trained him, Erlang of the Li family——Li Tao and Li Zhongtao.
This doctor's order naturally fell on Li Tao without any dispute. Those who knew the relationship between the Zheng family and the Li family felt a little delicate in their hearts. Seeing that this handsome young man, only fifteen years old, was eating the imperial salary, and he was a nobleman. Envious people also!
At the same time, the emperor issued an imperial decree, expressly declaring to the world that the precious gold and silver mines are related to the national vein, and the mines are owned by the government, and the generals Jin and Siyin Zhonglang are appointed to smelt gold and silver. Repay it.
This decree clarifies the status of the gold and silver mines as state-owned government-owned enterprises. Gold and silver are rare items, but they can also be used as money. However, it was clear that for most officials and gentry, this article did not touch their own interests, and naturally there was not much rebound, and they passed the court meeting quite smoothly.
As for the copper mines, although they are not rich, they are distributed in dozens of large and small places throughout Dayan. They can be used for money and cast utensils. Emperor He didn't dare to sweep away all the ghosts and ghosts with one shot, but only ordered the officials to cast yuan and copper coins and distribute them all over the world.
As for the "repayment with profit" of several private mines, the emperor said "or", that is, whether there is compensation. It depends on whether your waist is thick or not. .
Nowadays, the world is in turmoil and the frontier fortress is not peaceful. Anyone who is not a corpse eater knows the urgency and urgency of filling the treasury. Since the emperor's idea is to hit the gold and silver mines, he will not touch the food in everyone's mouth for a while. As for Which mine is going to suffer, this, is it inevitable for individual sacrifices for the country and the people!All the servants have their hands up and down, and they can share the fat. How can we not let the adults nod their approval.
Zhou Dun is well aware of the greed of the slick and stupid gang under his command. If he wants to pry the interests of the family that has been consolidated, he can only take a small corner of it first. In their mouths, most people will cover their own tightly, pretending not to see it, and perhaps thinking about whether they can also grab a piece.
According to the information reported by the foreign official spy, the silver mine discovered and mined by the Zheng family is located at the junction of Sizhou and Bingzhou, which is barely considered the land of Gyeonggi. His family dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Loyalty, really impatient to live!
There were lanterns and festoons in Prime Minister Li's mansion, and everyone was full of joy. Everyone knew that the young master had given Lang Zhong Ling a favor. Although the prime minister didn't want to be extravagant and extravagant, he wanted to have fun at his house and invite some relatives and friends to congratulate him. No one can chew any gossip.
Young Master Jinsi, the sweeping girls in the garden walk with their heads held high. Who doesn't know that what Xiang Ye values most is Mr. Tao, who has a bright future and a bright future?
Now that it is called in Li Xiangfu, the preface has been omitted a long time ago, and everyone knows well, who knows if the big one will come back?Tsk!It's a pity for a group of foolish and loyal servants, and they went to the northwest to eat sand together.
The house was full of dignitaries and famous officials, and the feast in Li Xiang's mansion lasted until the middle of the moon, before all the guests returned home. If there are those who are close to each other, they might as well stay in Li's mansion to get closer Get close to the Prime Minister and the son-in-law.
Li Tao was the host, and the banquet was held for him. Although he was not good at drinking, he only drank some thin rice wine soup, his tender and handsome face was red from head to neck, his eyes were starry, and his steps were vain.
Taixue Chen Erkun and Chen Siye have always followed the Prime Minister closely, and now he asked for help during this celebration banquet, he ran back and forth, became half the host, and at the moment he is also half drunk, exhausted to the point of death.
But how could he fall asleep in front of Mr. Tao, whom Xiangye valued the most?He is caring and attentive, and he keeps flattering.
Ever since the young master was clever, talented, and learned like a brilliant torch, now that he is finally in the heart of the emperor, he will be able to inherit the great career of the prime minister, and the blue is better than the blue...
Li Tao was dressed in red brocade, dressed in luxury, surrounded by a group of servant girls, and served by Chen Erkun so attentively, he was fumigated by the heat, and felt dizzy instead.He vomited a few times, but he didn't vomit anything, but Chen Siye was in a hurry, and held the copper bowl under his chin, and at the same time comforted him warmly, and asked people to hold water to serve the soup, making all the servants run around in circles .
Li Tao was dizzy and hot, staggered on his feet, and suddenly asked such a sentence: "...Did you praise Big Brother that much back then?"
Chen Erkun was stunned, cursing in a mess in his heart, but hurriedly shouted haha, praising the talents of the Li family, and now Mr. Tao is even more pretentious, better than ever, when it comes to governing culture and being an official, that But the future is boundless, and it is better than those who practice martial arts and guns.
As soon as the words came out, Li Tao felt a little regretful, but seeing that Chen Siye showed no embarrassment, on the contrary, he praised him fiercely, without even a trace of face. The surname is "Li", who is valued by the father, what difference does it make?
As soon as the cool wind blew, Li Tao couldn't bear it anymore and vomited all over Chen Siye.
The whole house is celebrating, but the excitement cannot be sent to the dark and fragrant Guiyu Pavilion.
Mrs. Min sat upright in the hall, looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus outside the window with some ecstasy, there were no broken stars and topaz in the night, only a faint fragrance to send away, but next to her ears was the noisy voice of her brother who came to say goodbye.
"...Sister, you are so bored in the mansion, and you have lived the life of a bad woman in your good years, why bother?! You can find some ladies and ladies to gather together. Everyone is happy and lively. No trouble, I think my brother-in-law won't be annoyed by such a trivial matter."
Mrs. Min sighed softly in her heart, and didn't bother to argue with brother, she smiled a little, and said softly: "You know I like quiet, and the wives of the Zhu family are not familiar with each other, so why make a joke for others to see."
Born in a small family, she has neither the power of her mother's family, nor her husband's favor, nor her son-in-law. The more her husband is a high-ranking official, the more she looks like a joke.
Min Mao also knew Sister's heart knot, and filled his stomach with water in annoyance, and said roughly: "Sister, please rest, I'm leaving."
"Can't you stay?"
Mrs. Min was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she realized that my younger brother used to be friends with Dalang of the Li family, and stayed in Li's mansion from time to time. Now Dalang is far away in the northwest, and the people in this mansion have high eyes and broken mouths. , so he showed him some face, and Wulang couldn't hold back his face and made a good deal with the second son Li Taoli, so he gradually came to the door less often.
If she hadn't sent someone to invite Brother this time, Wu Lang might not even be able to attend the banquet.
The Min family has no roots, if they continue to wander like this, I really don't know how this younger brother will end up.Li's mansion is now full of flowers, brocades and oil, even a woman like her, who does not leave the house, knows that Li Xiang is prominent. For some reason, such monstrous power does not make her happy, but makes her terrified.
Madam Min pursed her lips and beckoned to her younger brother abruptly. When he came closer, she gently smoothed the wrinkles on his robe and said softly:
"Amao, have you thought about the way out in the future?"
In the whole house, she has very few people to use, and the ones she can trust are only a few caring servants in this house.
Min Sanniang stared at brother's stunned eyes, and said almost silently: "A Mao, since you have a good relationship with Ah Xian, why don't you go to the northwest to visit him? See your brother's current career, and think about your future departure road."
About Li Dalang, Min Sanniang didn't have much contact with him, and she knew even less, but she has become the successor wife of the Li family, and she has her own way, so she can get a glimpse of Li Dalang's current situation. The capital is a man-eating rich man Wo, go to the northwest for a walk, maybe it will give brother another way.
***
The scorching sun was in the sky, the temperature difference between day and night in the northwest was huge, and the autumn tiger was raging. It was so hot that people sweated on their backs at noon.
General Zhu rode on his majestic horse for half an hour every morning when the sun rose, and he had already got back into the carriage, took off his armor, opened his arms, and let the delicate servants wipe the sweat and massage the general breathlessly. Back pinch feet.
This journey is so hard, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, no matter what I get to the land, I need to scrape more oil and water...Zhu Song was thinking about what to do when he arrived in Diqiu, how to deter the green-headed boy, and suddenly heard There was a lot of noise ahead, so I couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car door and cursed, "Bastard! What are you arguing about?"
"General, general! To the general! Front, front..." A private guard of the Zhu family came galloping, and hurriedly said with a happy face, "There is a caravan coming from the direction of Diqiu. There are five or six fully loaded carts, which are bulging and have deep ruts, so they must be full of good things..."
"nonsense!"
General Zhu cheered up, stood up halfway in the car, looked out with his head, raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "This place is barren, how can there be a caravan? It must be that the horse bandits are afraid of our army and are transferring the stolen goods. They still don't take it with me." Down!"
"Yes, General, what you said is very true! This gang of horse bandits harms the people, but they get a load of good things. We must, we must, kill the harm for the people!"
The scout whistled excitedly, waved his hand, and the dozen or so riders who were patrolling the front and back of the team hurriedly gathered and chased the group of "fat sheep" who seemed to be fleeing in the distance, and chased to the edge of the dense forest. After that, he galloped out of the general's sight.
Zhu Song was making a fortune for the heavens, caressing his stomach happily.
The whole team stopped and marched, and after a long time, even the soldiers who had fallen from the tail came up panting, gathered in this area, thousands of people spread out in a large area, and the sound of several generals shouting, cursing and whipping could be heard from time to time. Come, let's rest in a mess in a short time.
The dozen or so sentry scouts were still silent, there was no sound of beating, killing or cursing, and no one came back to report, they just seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Although Lao Zhu, a miscellaneous general, got his name from his nepotism, he has been in the army for more than ten years. He has never fought a big battle, but he has fought a few small battles. The important "military skills" are very handy for him.
During his more than ten years of military career, he has never lost his oily skin on the "battlefield", and he has also developed a unique skill of watching the wind and observing the situation. Back then, he relied on sharp eyesight, sharp legs, quick heart and ruthless heart to cut ten The heads of a few frontier residents acted as "barbarians", gaining both fame and fortune, and the general had to do it.
Now stationed in the center of Bingzhou, which is relatively stable, and has not received a battle for many years, not to mention the resurrection of the flesh, and the whole body is full of fat, but this temperament of watching the wind and police finally retains some points.
At this moment, even though they are patrolling the territory, and there are no sentries for a while, how can they not know that there is a fraud? !
"Get your lord's armor—"
The fat on General Zhu's chin trembled a little, he roared, and was about to put on his armor, when suddenly he heard screams from outside the car, flying feathers whizzed towards them, and a few iron arrows pierced through the thick wooden boards of the car, "Tuk Tuk With a few sounds, he narrowly brushed against General Zhu's stomach, and firmly nailed a servant's foot to the side compartment.
"Ah—" The boy was startled and terrified, staring at the bloody leg, dizzy with pain, and screamed.
Zhu Song broke out in cold sweat suddenly, and there were only two words in his mind: It's over!
