Chapter 186: Coming for You
The Chuanyunzhai and Qiang tribes were all incorporated and settled in Jinyuan County, and became the first batch of mining workers in the salt mine.
Jiang Chengzi led a small team to find salt mines, and he also became famous. Of course, after solving the problem of the Qiang people, she discussed with her parents to take her eldest brother Yang Qingrang to set off together.
For the exploration and identification of minerals, Yang Qingrang learned very quickly.
The discovery of several salt pans in Luojiang Mountain and Jiashan Mountain has alleviated the salt shortage that Datang has been having. The imperial court soon sent people to protect the salt pans, and began to discuss the government's salt sales policy and set official prices.
Jiang Chengzi has always cared about this, but the Yang family's sixth room has repeatedly expressed his determination to be happy and healthy for the people. Now looking for this salt mine, one is to hope that the Tang Dynasty will be strong, and the other is to hope that the people will be safe.
Li Shimin looked at the book that expressed his determination, then threw it to Fang Xuanling and asked, "What does Aiqing think?"
Fang Xuanling looked at it for a long time before saying, "The sixth room of the Yang family is asking for favor, I'm afraid I want to go back to Chang'an." ”
Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling was not as upright as Wei Zheng, so he didn't ask much, so he only summoned Wei Zheng and asked privately: "What does Wei Aiqing think?"
Wei Zheng looked at it and said bluntly: "I wrote to the emperor for no reason to express my determination." This Yang's six rooms are by no means just rewarding for their merits. In Yichen's view, it seems to remind His Majesty that the people must come first in the matter of the price of salt mines. ”
"In the end, love dares to speak out. Li Shimin sighed.
Wei Zheng said: "If this is the case, the Yang family's six-room Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has many talents. However, talent is the most double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself. If Your Majesty is worried. Why don't you recall it as soon as possible and move it to Chang'an, under Your Majesty's nose. in order to use this sword well. ”
What Aiqing said is extremely true. It's just that I also take into account that Shu is rich and rich in products. If the Yang family can still find a few salt mines, everyone in Datang can afford to eat salt. Li Shimin sighed. He didn't want to see the six rooms of the Yang family, especially the Yang family's Azhi and his brother Yang Qingrang. As an emperor, such a monstrous person made him uneasy in the end. However, he was an emperor. With the people behind the world, it is natural that you can't delay the people with your own preferences.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng thanks Your Majesty for the people of the world. Wei Zheng immediately bowed to the ground and saluted.
"Aiqing. Why. Hurry up, please. Li Shimin hurriedly helped Wei Zheng up.
In the following days, there was no mention of letting Yang's sixth room enter Chang'an. Just like the last time the first salt pan was discovered, the Yang family's six rooms did not receive any rewards. Li Shimin only ordered the household department to tighten the expenses and allocate more funds to step up the establishment of the Gewu Academy.
The old fox in the court thought that after the potato and sweet potato incident. Add to that the discovery of the salt pans. Yang's sixth room will definitely be on the rise. Even people like Fang Xuanling thought that the Yang family's sixth house was just around the corner. But I didn't expect this matter to be silent, and in the past two months, Yang's sixth room has discovered several salt mines, refining salt with high purity.
The white flowers and crystal salt were transported into Chang'an by truck. Chang'an, from the inner courtyard of the palace to the big families, are using that salt, and everyone in the chefs feels that their cooking skills have improved a lot.
The people of Chang'an City also found that the market price of salt had dropped a lot, and the price of salt was cheaper for the first time since the beginning of the world. And the texture of the salt is really good that I have never seen before.
And people collectively call these salts Shu salt.
Shu salt prevailed. Behind this is naturally Jiang Chengzi's handiwork. Outside, it is rumored that it is the handiwork of the Yang family's six rooms, and the Yang brothers and sisters are all heroic and extraordinary people.
As for Zhang Jia, after joining forces with Li Ke to purge the Qiang people that day, he kept clearing out the hidden enemies in various places near Jinyuan County. It was also at that moment that Jiang Chengzi really saw the power of the ancient famous clans.
In just three days, with the private soldiers raised by Zhang's residence in Meizhou, they swept away the corrupt hidden piles in seven or eight counties around Jinyuan County, and did not leave any handle. Zhang Jia secretly cleared this side, and that side, as the governor of Yizhou, naturally reported the matter to the imperial court.
When Li Shimin heard this, he first wrote back to ask Li Ke who recommended him to take up what position. Li Ke received the letter, chuckled, and said, "Father often says that I am like him. Since it is like him, he thinks it. How can I not know?"
He smiled sadly, Jiang Chengzi, who was drawing the design on the side, threw away the pencil (that's right, it's a pencil, Jiang Chengzi brought this craft to King Wu's mansion in her last life, and later after her death, it was inherited by King Wu), in this life, this pencil has also become a unique item in Jiang's mansion), and said: "He is your father, but he is a generation of emperors, shouldering the safety of the Tang Dynasty, and many people, if you understand, you should be proud of it." ”
"That position is the loneliest position in the world, and as a courtier I look up to him, and as a son I pity him. Li Ke replied. Subsequently, he picked up the pencil that Jiang Chengzi had discarded and drew up a draft of a reply to Li Shimin on the fine Qingjiang white paper, and then asked Jiang Chengzi to revise it several times, and finally wrote it on the rice paper in small block letters, which probably means that although he is a small magistrate, the appointment and dismissal of the court must be cautious. He only knows a few gadgets, and he really has limited knowledge of recommending officials, and he is afraid that rashly recommending will cause disaster to the Tang Dynasty, so he suggested that his father should convene the ministers of strategists, especially the eldest grandson's uncle, to discuss. However, if you want to talk about people who are familiar with Shuzhong, he can attach personal advice.
"How about this?" Li Ke finished writing.
"This list comes with a good bonus. If you don't give this list, your father will think it's too cunning, and he'll have to worry more. Jiang Chengzi nodded and said approvingly, "You really know him, in this way, he will know your depth." ”
Li Ke was quite frustrated and said: "Between father and son, such suspicion is really chilling. ”
"You are no ordinary father and son. Jiang Chengzi pointed out.
Li Ke turned around, looked at her, and said seriously: "Ah Zi, for your sake, I don't want that position no matter what." I just want to be your husband. We are just husband and wife, not kings. ”
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he felt that his heart was beating extremely fast for no reason, and he muttered coquettishly: "Who is married to you." The Yang family's ancestral house hasn't been dealt with yet. ”
"It's not a matter over there. I've met the old lady and your uncle. Li Ke replied.
"But you don't know. Hongnong Yang, my eldest uncle has long been out of control. Now, it's the horse master who is in charge. Jiang Chengzi pouted.
"He is not as majestic as your great uncle. Majesty is not about being in charge. Li Ke replied.
Jiang Chengzi still felt that his heart was pounding. muttered, "Don't talk nonsense, who is husband and wife with you." ”
"Your reputation has been ruined by me, and you will have to marry me. Li Ke said thiefly.
Jiang Chengzi glanced at him and said, "I come from an era when men and women are equal. You can't scare me with this little Jiujiu, it doesn't matter if you marry someone or not. Besides, you think that with my intelligence and talent. I can't resolve this little trick of yours? Besides, I'm such a brilliant person, and I want to marry someone. Rush. Perhaps, your father even thought about marrying me to the crown prince. Hahaha. ”
Jiang Chengzi said that later, he said the original analysis lightly, and then laughed happily. Li Ke's face turned blue. Say, "Shut up." If you want to be the queen, I will take this country with you. ”
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and scolded: "The wall has ears. Don't say you don't have this mind, even if you have, even if you and I are together, don't say it. Besides, you know that I have no interest in wealth, fame and fortune, but you still talk about me like this. Hmph, not happy. ”
Jiang Chengzi clasped his hands to his chest. A look of displeasure. Li Ke was also childish, and snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you can only be mine." Who made you mention the prince for no reason? ”
"You know for yourself that he must have had this heart. It's just that I still want to use Hongnong Yang's family, and the second is that you are his son in the end, and you made a lot of trouble all over the world before, and he was also afraid of you. Jiang Chengzi analyzed.
Li Ke nodded and said, "My father must have thought about it. However, he has not taken this path for a long time, and I don't know if he will do it. ”
"He's not going to go that way. He doesn't know me yet, and besides, he doesn't want you to be his enemy. He's going to take a more advantageous path. Jiang Chengzi is very sure.
Li Ke was silent, and only wrote three words Yang Ruyu on the paper. Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "I expected this matter before, and it was exactly what I thought. If the prince marries the eldest sister, the six rooms of the Yang family are the backing of the prince's mansion. And if you and I have wind and grass, it will also be intolerable to the Yang family's six rooms and even the Hongnong Yang family. Moreover, if you and I make the slightest change, your father is not a father, but a king. ”
When Li Ke heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and only looked at Jiang Chengzi in a daze.
Jiang Chengzi touched his face and asked very vigilantly, "Why are you looking at me?"
"How terrible you are if you are a man. He muttered to himself.
Jiang Chengzi's heart tightened, and he only felt that his heart was panicked when he heard this. But she could only quip: "Who let a martial artist occasionally read a history book, and he can still see someone from a few words." ”
"You, saw me?" he asked. In the past, Jiang Chengzi told him that he existed in the history books more than a thousand years later, saying that he was a heroic prince, but fate made people.
At that time, he heard her talk about it, just a few words of understatement, and a sigh. Moreover, he also knows his identity and status, and he is destined not to leave any traces in the history books, I am afraid that he is also dependent on his father, and there are only a few strokes. Therefore, he was very curious to ask.
Now, he listened to her and watched her expressions and actions, but it seemed that more than a thousand years later, he had already paid attention to him.
"Not really. You said, the vast history, I read all the way, only you have a few lines, but my heart suddenly tightened, and I was in pain. Jiang Chengzi thought of himself at that time, and at that time, there was simply an instant of compassion and sadness. At that time, she didn't understand how a woman like herself could be sad and sad, but now it seems that this is caused by entanglements that go deep into the bone marrow.
Or, rather, fate.
"You, do you hurt?" he didn't dare to imagine that more than a thousand years later, he would make her instantly hurt a man in just a few lines. He believed, he felt that it was fate. But he was afraid that this was just her momentary exaggeration, or to make him happy.
So, he asked the question in a soft voice.
Jiang Chengzi nodded, his tone was also gentle, and said, "Yes." When I saw the words about you in the history books, my heart suddenly tightened, I was in pain, and tears rained down. I myself was terrified, but I just wanted to know everything about you, so I went to the library, looked up the history, and searched for your materials. From daylight to dusk, it took several days and nights to gather all the bits and pieces of your information in one place. After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and my whole person seemed to be stunned. From there, I would often meditate: If I were around him, what would I do? The more I think about this, the more I want to know the entire history of Datang, especially this part of you, the scenery, political pattern, and people related to you. Regardless of the enemy, loved ones, I study. I even talked about you with senior historians, arguing with people until I was scolded for being sick. Alas. ”
She sighed, and only now did she suddenly realize that this is fate, and it is not up to anyone at all.
She sighed, but Li Ke pursed her lips and still asked in a low voice: "Then, now, you came to me by chance, those people are the same as you think?"
"How could it. No matter how fair a person writes a history book, his vision and opinions are also biased, not to mention that few people who write history will not care about the emperor and the powerful. The history books are far from the facts. Now that the two of them have arrived in this Datang, they are far from the Datang in my understanding. Jiang Chengzi replied.
"The truth is often not beautiful, it is not valuable, and it is not loved by history books. Li Ke sighed.
Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "However, thank you anyway." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have delved into history. Even if all the history books are basically full of false elements, the world struggles and people's hearts are nothing more than that. You only think that I am terrible today, but I don't know how more than a thousand years later, I can light the lamp and read it at night, listing countless ways to save your tragic fate. ”
When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't speak anymore, so he only stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and whispered: "In this life, you must be mine, and no one can take it away." ”
Jiang Chengzi was quiet in his arms for a long time, and waited for his expression to calm down before he said, "Don't say such things." Let's join forces, and no one can be separated. It's just that in the future, if there is a gap between you and me, you must remember: In this life, I am here for you. ”
"There will never be a gap, even if you are a bad person, I love it, I spoil it, and I want it. Li Ke said firmly.
Jiang Chengzi sneered and said, "You are a typical example of right and wrong. I like it, though. ”
She smiled mischievously, continued to take the pencil to draw the design drawings, and at the same time urged Li Ke to send the letter back quickly, after all, those places in Shu are all critical positions, although Zhang Jia is staring, but Zhang Jia is very gloomy, and it is not these people, maybe when they will put people together.
Li Ke nodded, and ordered someone to hurry up and send the letter to Chang'an. When Li Shimin saw this letter, his brows furrowed and stretched, stretched and frowned, and he held his breath, which was very uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
