"Don't go, don't go, I have a way to prove myself." The emperor was very anxious, and Liang Chaoxiong stopped.

The emperor looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and wrote a line of words for Liang Chaoxiong to see, Liang Chaoxiong held it and looked at it, staring at the people in the prison.

Liang Chaoxiong has been watching Li Zhongxuan's review every day, and he has memorized Li Zhongxuan's words, and at this moment, this guy's graffiti does not look like the Duanfang Pavilion that a yellow ribbon should have, "God, he has already fled, I'll let you out." ”

The emperor was overjoyed, Li Zhongxuan was about to open the lock while holding the key, and when he saw the emperor approaching, Liang Chaoxiong laughed, "Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan, I let them go to calm the chaos, do you think your opportunity has come?" It's a fool's dream, you think I'll believe you if you learn his words, you can save it. ”

Liang Chaoxiong didn't believe that anyone could do the thing of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix under his nose, you must know that the key to this prison is only kept by himself, and no one can open it if he wants to.

But he didn't know that Shen Qiaoan only needed a strand of hair to open the door, and this unique skill was taught by Luo Huaiyi, a man from the rivers and lakes.

The angry emperor was furious, and after Liang Chaoxiong left, Lingzhu laughed and pointed at the emperor: "You are too stupid, you are really an incorrigible guy." ”

When Lingzhu found out that the emperor was stupid, she decided to let him out, stupidity has the benefit of being stupid, she can even control him, why not?

On the other hand, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan have arrived in the workshop, between April and May, floods emerge one after another, and in the winter of last year, a moat was all frozen, this festival is the best time for the imperial court to build embankments, but Liang Chaoxiong is a grassland man and does not know this.

As for this moment, it is necessary to transform the waterway, open the mountain and take stones, and there are many things to do, so Qiao An found the cutting wind to chat.

"I have brought out 15,000 of your men this time, and you will let them go and dig granite and marble nearby, and the remaining 5,000 will move the people, and the other 5,000 will repair the river with me."

The cutting wind didn't leave, it seemed that he still had to listen to the arrangement, Qiao An said strangely: "I've finished arranging, that's all for now, you can do it." ”

Where did Qiao An know that when he was by Liang Chaoxiong's side, Liang Chaoxiong was jealous of his ability and did not dispatch Cutting Wind to do big things, so Cutting Wind was equivalent to being idle in the air.

He thought that Liang Chaoxiong arranged for him to come to Shen Qiao'an, but it was just a formality, but Shen Qiao'an was very relieved about him, and everything was left to him.

"Doesn't the girl think I'm going to do well?"

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, after all, you are a grassland person, but you can't even do it, how can it be good? Since it can't be done well, then do it well, anyway, I recently looked for Qin Tianjian to see, there will be no rain in a month, what we have is time. ”

Cutting the wind has never been appreciated and valued, and when I heard this, tears welled up.

Qiao An smiled: "What are you fuss about, you still have to learn these things, mistakes are inevitable, after all, no one is perfect, go ahead." ”

The cutting wind was grateful, and strode away.

After the cutting wind left, Li Zhongxuan, who was like a wood carving clay sculpture next to him, finally got up, "Can I speak?" ”

"You can talk when he goes, just say it." In front of anyone, Qiao An pressed Li Zhongxuan, she needed to let people know that this Li Zhongxuan was an actor from the Chunhe Sheng Opera Team, and he was a little student who didn't know anything.

"This cutting wind has been taken down by you, that Liang Chaoxiong is suspicious, probably never arranged to cut the wind to do a big thing, at this moment you trust him, he will definitely repay you with righteousness, just like General Cheng back then."

General Cheng back then?

Nine times out of ten, the past has disappeared, and even a little memory no longer exists, but Qiao An still remembers the fact that he was promoted to a general.

Even, everything is as clear as yesterday, as for this cutting wind, in fact, it is also a grand ambition that is difficult to reward.

"They are all very unusual, but the clay kettle thundered, and they fell into the hands of ordinary people." Qiao An sighed, "It's really common for Maxima, but Bole is not often, Maxima is important and only humiliated at the hands of slaves, and he died in the middle of the trough." ”

"Don't be afraid now, you are his Bole." Li Zhongxuan raised his eyebrows and stared at Qiao An.

Joan didn't feel like he was anyone's Bole, as far as he knew, he just did what he had to do.

"Wait a minute, go along the river? Li Zhongxuan invited Qiao An, and Shen Qiao An naturally couldn't ask for it, as long as it was a matter for the people, Qiao An took it to heart.

And this year's disaster is urgent, and there is no delay, the two of them have made a decision, and after a while, they brought a few personal guards to the moat to see, the guards are Mo Shaoyan and Mo Shaoqiong, Du Bian and Feng Yu.

These people were all Shen Qiao'an's henchmen, but Qiao An could only think of a little familiar thing with their familiar faces, but the specific and comprehensive memory had long been lost to Java.

When the two arrived at the riverbank, there were ordinary people crying out for hunger and cold, General Cheng was comforting them, the group of people were drinking the clear batter, seeing that Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan had arrived, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Although the old man had never seen the Son of Heaven, he saw that everyone was kneeling, and he hurriedly bowed down to kowtow to Li Zhongxuan, but Li Zhongxuan hurriedly stopped his movements.

Shen Qiaoan saw it clearly, he seemed to be very attentive to the people.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The old man couldn't cry anymore, and it seemed that he had a thousand words to say, but these words were all swallowed when he saw Li Zhongxuan, and he didn't say anything.

Li Zhongxuan clutched his black and dirty hands, looked at General Cheng behind him with reproachful eyes, and said angrily: "How can you let the people eat this? ”

When Joan looked over, she noticed that the batter in the bowl was so thin that she could almost look in the mirror, and there were a few dots of water chestnuts wafting in the bowl.

How can this be satisfying?

The old man was crying and wiping his tears, looking very painful, Li Zhongxuan blamed, General Cheng and others knelt behind him, and General Cheng hurriedly explained: "Not only the common people, but the emperor, now the construction is going to start, there is no silver." ”

Li Zhongxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way, don't worry." ”

Then, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan retreated, Qiao An always felt that Li Zhongxuan was acting for the people, but after returning to Xingyuan, the guards really sent a clear batter, which was not as good as what the people ate.

Li Zhongxuan didn't dislike it at all, he ate a bowl of it, someone also sent a bowl to Qiao An, Shen Qiao'an's bowl seemed to be slightly better than Li Zhongxuan's, someone sent Wowotou over, and Li Zhongxuan also gave it to Qiao An.

"Are we struggling to make ends meet?" Joan looked at Wowotou, a little incredulous. How could the imperial court make ends meet?

But soon Qiao An thought that Mu Chenxuan had asked him to look through Qi Min's tricks, and the yearbook did record Li Zhongxuan's policy of lightly taxing and leviing taxes.

According to the ratio of one tael of silver per person a year in a household, it is true that the imperial court does not have much money throughout the year, and these silver needs to be used as the salaries of the three provinces and six ministries and various expenses in the palace.

And Li Zhongxuan is different from the Son of Heaven of all dynasties, in Li Zhongxuan's place, once the harvest is not very good in any year, he will reduce or exempt the taxes of that year, and there are some ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

In this case, how can there be spare money in the treasury?

Joan ate these things and rolled her eyes, "If we go on like this, the fortifications can't start, and I'll sit and wait for death, I have to find a way to go." ”

"Don't worry, there's a way."

Li Zhongxuan returned home that day, after Li Zhongxuan became the emperor, the old lady was nominally the queen mother, but in fact, the old lady and the old lady Sima did not go to the palace, so they still lived in the previous mansion.

Li Zhongxuan arrived at home and asked the old lady for some land deeds, which were some fertile fields outside Zhongjing, which were planted every year, and the planted grain was all sealed at home every year, and it was taken out to relieve the people in a famine year.

At this moment, Li Zhongxuan not only demanded that all the grain be donated, but also demanded that all the land be sold at a low price.

When the old lady heard this, how could this be?

First, these lands were planted for the common people, and secondly, they were actually the source of their livelihood. ”

"Sell it, wait until this juncture is over, and then buy it back." It would be better to go to the pawnshop and mortgage it, but they have a lot of land, and they don't have such a wealthy pawnshop to do this business.

Can only be sold.

Li Zhongxuan opened the Sima Mansion and donated all the grain, and there were countless people on both sides of the river, there were really more monks and less porridge, and those who were lucky ate relief food, and those who were unlucky didn't even see a shadow at all.

In the afternoon, Qiao An went to find Qing Gongzi and borrowed money straight to the point, Qing Gongzi smiled, and his collapsed eyes also pulled out a horizontal line, "What do you want silver?" How much do you want, you need silver to find them directly in the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, moon and stars, how can you still see them like this. ”

When he said this, he said, "What is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and there is no distinction between them." ”

"I borrowed a lot this time, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to pay it back for a while, so I wrote about this." Qiao Ann typed an IOU to Qing Gongzi.

Shen Qingnian smiled faintly, holding the IOU and looking at it, but suddenly his expression changed, "Ten thousand taels of gold?" "That's not a small amount.

You must know that in that era, a civil official of the third grade was only thirty taels a month, and Qiao An was simply a lion's mouth.

"How?" Shen Qiaoan was a little embarrassed to see Qing Gongzi and sighed.

She believes that Qing Gongzi is rich, before in Taoyuan County, she saw with her own eyes Qing Gongzi's endless business that is running, Qing Gongzi's business is very extensive, all kinds of industries have started, what antiques, calligraphy and paintings, what inns, tea shops, pawnshops, rouge, gouache, needles, threads, brains, teeth, rice, silver, and countless others.

But Qing Gongzi was also a little embarrassed, after all, Qiao An didn't want a small amount.

"I'll prepare you to go, but it will take about three or five days, and you will ask for too much." Qing Gongzi groaned.

She needs to support an army of 30,000 people, although these 30,000 people have now been handed over to Qiao An, but the grain and grass are still provided by Qing Gongzi, this is his biggest expense, in addition, although those businesses are making money every day, but the money of the young man, the money of the helmsman, and the silver spent on the way to operate all need to be spent.

Ten thousand taels of silver is not enough, ten thousand taels of gold is indeed a bit difficult for Qin Gongzi, but he still agreed without hesitation, and he didn't even ask Shen Qiao'an for his use at all.

"I'm going to save my life, thank you, I'll always pay you back after a while." Qiao An said, Qing Gongzi just smiled faintly and held Shen Qiao'an's hand.

Qiao An felt that she couldn't stand Qing Gongzi, and she said that she would take Qing Gongzi to Zhufeng Mountain to save her life, but she let her master blind Qing Gongzi's eyes.

Qiao An can't delve into any misunderstandings during this period, but no matter what, it was he who harmed Qing Gongzi, which made Qing Gongzi embark on the road of no return.
