Eunuchs, this is the most difficult group of people in history, this group of people is the same as ordinary people, there are good people and bad people, loyal ministers and traitors, but they are different from ordinary people, physical disabilities will make them despised in all aspects, and the lack of instinct will distort their personalities, so sometimes their thoughts cannot be measured by normal people.

For example, this time Lei Yungong, who didn't know how to do it when he went into the interior to introspect, actually ran to repair the imperial mausoleum, Li Zhang was a little puzzled at first, but then he suddenly thought that Lei Yungong went to the imperial mausoleum There is actually a very reasonable explanation, because repairing the imperial mausoleum can make money, after all, the construction period of the imperial mausoleum is so rushed, and there are countless materials in and out every day, which is too big for oil and water.

For most of the officials in the court, the attraction of money is generally not as good as power, after all, only the power in the hands, it is too simple to make money, and even there is no need to embezzle, it is too easy to seek personal interests with the help of the power in their hands, of course, there are a small number of officials who value money very much, and most of these people include most of the eunuchs.

may be because of the loss of the ability of men and women, eunuchs are generally extremely obsessed with money, at least among the eunuchs Li Zhang has seen, there is almost no one who is not greedy for money, and they are also very bold in collecting money, as long as others dare to give, they dare to ask for it, regardless of the consequences of receiving money, especially after he heard that some eunuchs sent abroad arrived in the place, they even wantonly collected money, and even forced the local people to rebel, which can be described as a lot of evil deeds.

It is precisely because he knows the above that Li Zhang guessed that the reason why Lei Yungong went to repair the imperial mausoleum was probably because he took a fancy to the oil and water of the imperial mausoleum, and the construction period was also short, as long as the imperial mausoleum was repaired, he could make huge profits in just a few months.

"Cousin, what are you thinking?" Just as Li Zhang was pondering, Zhao Zhen came over and shook his hand in front of his eyes and asked, Li Zhang was chopping vegetables just now, but he was suddenly stunned and didn't move, so he felt a little strange.

"It's nothing, don't wait here, wait for the smoke to burn, let's go back and wait!" Li Zhang finally came to his senses from his contemplation at this time, and then said to Zhao Zhen and Miao Yuan with a smile.

"It's okay, I just want to see how you cook cousin!" Miao Yuan was the first to speak at this time, and it seemed that she was also very interested in Li Zhang's cooking skills.

Seeing that they didn't leave, Li Zhang had no choice, and at this time other ingredients were also sent over, so he immediately began to prepare, and after a while, all the ingredients were almost ready, and then the heat was raised and the stir-fry began.

Stir-fried dishes have appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, but there has not been a large-scale promotion, generally only a few restaurants will use the method of stir-frying, the cooking techniques in the palace are more conservative, although there are stir-fried dishes, but the style is very few, Li Zhang is familiar with the taste of Miaoyuan, made three meat and three vegetarian six dishes, and there are two soups of one sweet and one salty.

Miao Yuan outside the kitchen door saw that Li Zhang really knew how to cook, and every dish was like a cloud of water in his peers, and after a while, six dishes and two soups were ready, which made her big eyes full of admiration, at first she didn't like Li Zhang's cousin very much, and the two still had a little misunderstanding, but as time went by, she also found more and more that her cousin was not only good at healing, but also versatile, and he was even very proficient in cooking, which made her wonder what else Li Zhang wouldn't do?

The dishes were ready, Li Zhang also asked people to bring them to the main hall, washed their hands and then accompanied Miao Yuan to eat together, Li Zhang's dishes were all according to Miao Yuan's taste, this girl naturally ate very happily, Zhao Zhen was also very surprised that Li Zhang's cooking skills were so good, and he ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

In the next few days, the light rain also stopped from time to time, and the air was always very humid, but this also brought a problem, that is, the potatoes had already sprouted, so Li Zhang hurriedly reported to Liu E, and the place to plant potatoes was quickly selected.

Early in the morning, a carriage set off from the palace, and then came to Li Zhang's house to pick him up, and then galloped through again, until he left the city through the west gate, and then walked west for another day, and in the evening Li Zhang rested at a post station, and the next morning they came to a manor that occupied a considerable area and stopped.

"Li Banyu, this is it!" I saw a person jumping off the carriage, and then helped Li Zhang get out of the carriage, this person who came down first was also familiar to Li Zhang, that is, Luo Chongxun, the henchman eunuch next to Liu E, Liu E could only rest assured that Luo Chongxun would do such an important thing as a potato.

"Here...... Isn't it a little too far? Li Zhang got out of the carriage and looked at this manor, and then frowned and said, this manor is very big, but this is not in the village or behind the store, it is a day's journey from Tokyo City, in case someone wants to be bad for the potatoes, I am afraid there is no way to stop it.

"Li Banyu don't have to worry, there is no shortage of people to guard potatoes here, in fact, there is an army stationed here, let's go in and find out!" Luo Chongxun smiled at this time, and then took Li Zhang into the manor.

There are trees planted all around this manor, it is estimated that it is bounded by trees, and now because the trees grow very tall, people can't see the situation in the manor clearly, and when Li Zhang followed Luo Chongxun into it, he immediately found that this manor occupies a huge area, and there is a barracks in front, but this barracks is newly built, and a team of hundreds of soldiers are practicing in the school field next to it.

"Brother Li, why are you?" As soon as Li Zhang entered the manor, before he could react, he saw a horse suddenly galloping in the distance, and when he saw Li Zhang, he also shouted in surprise.

"Brother Trustworthy?" Li Zhang also showed a surprised expression when he saw the person who came, because it turned out to be Huyan Shouxin, but now Huyan Shouxin is wearing a helmet and armor, which looks a little more heroic.

I saw Huyan Shouxin riding a horse in front of Li Zhang, and then threw the saddle and dismounted, and at this time Luo Chongxun said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is worried that Li Banyu will not get along with the soldiers in the army, so she specially transferred the commander of Huyan, and the two of you are also acquaintances, and it is easier to get along!" ”

"The eldest lady has a heart!" Li Zhang immediately understood when he heard this, Liu E was really thoughtful, and with the acquaintance of Huyan Shouxin, Li Zhang would have a lot less trouble in the future.

"It turns out that I am still stained with Brother Li's light, if I have any orders in the future, I will definitely cooperate with them!" Hu Yan Shouxin heard this and immediately hugged Li Zhang's fist, he originally had a position in the army, but the grade was not high, and he had no power, but a few days ago, he suddenly received an order to let him take charge of an army alone, although the number is not large, but it is still great news for him.

"Brother Trustworthy is polite, I will also rely on Brother Trustworthy in the future!" Li Zhang also said politely again at this time.

"You two don't talk about the old days, Commander Huyan should take us to see this manor!" At this time, Luo Chongxun interrupted the conversation between Li Zhang and Huyan Shouxin with a smile, Huyan Shouxin is now managing a battalion of soldiers and horses, according to the military system of the Song Dynasty, each battalion has five capitals, each is a hundred people, and the commander of the battalion is called the battalion commander.

Li Zhang and Huyan Shouxin also knew that now was not the time to chat, it was still important to get down to business, so Huyan Shouxin immediately agreed, and then personally took Li Zhang and the two of them through the barracks in front, and then Li Zhang found that behind the barracks was a Zhuangzi, and there were some curious children outside the Zhuangzi who looked at the soldiers who were practicing, but when they saw Li Zhang and the three of them, the children dispersed in a hurry.

"Li Banyu, this was originally the Imperial Village, and the Zhuangzi in front of me were also tenants in the Imperial Village, who had been cultivating for the royal family for generations, and the Huyan Commander had just been transferred, nominally responsible for patrolling the Imperial Mausoleum, so as not to disturb the Imperial Mausoleum by idle people, but in fact it was at your disposal." Luo Chongxun introduced as he walked at this time.

"Patrolling the Imperial Tomb? What do you mean? Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Luo Chongxun's words, he came to plant potatoes, how did he have anything to do with the imperial tomb?

"Brother Li doesn't know yet, ten miles west from here, is the imperial mausoleum under construction, and the ten miles around the imperial mausoleum are all classified as forbidden land, and no one is allowed to approach!" Hu Yanshou also opened his mouth at this time to introduce that he was suddenly transferred here as the battalion commander, and the boss clearly ordered him to inspect the imperial mausoleum, but in fact there were other arrangements, but he didn't expect that this arrangement would be at the disposal of Li Zhang.

Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, he only knew that the imperial mausoleum was being built, and Lei Yungong took the initiative to take over the work of repairing the imperial mausoleum before, but he didn't expect that the imperial mausoleum was only more than a day away from Tokyo City?

"This belongs to the boundary of Gongxian County, the feng shui is excellent, it is very suitable for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the Queen Mother also fell in love here at a glance, it is more than two hundred miles away from Tokyo City, if you hurry up, you can go back and forth in one day, and it is very convenient to come to worship the emperor in the future!" Luo Chongxun also opened his mouth at this time and said that Gongxian County, which was Gongyi City in later generations, was only separated from Kaifeng by one Zhengzhou, of course, the current Zhengzhou is still very small, and it is only one of the auxiliary counties of Kaifeng.

"I see, there are forbidden places around the Imperial Tomb, and they are heavily guarded, which is also very suitable!" Li Zhang couldn't help but nod and muttered to himself when he heard this.

Hu Yan Shouxin didn't know Li Zhang's intention to come here at this time, but he was a smart man, and he knew that it was better not to ask than to ask, so he didn't interject at this time, but took Li Zhang around the imperial village, and Li Zhang found that behind the original Zhuangzi was the real Huangzhuang, a piece of dozens of hectares of fertile land was presented in front of him, and there was a wide river running through it, so he didn't have to worry about irrigation in the future.

"Great place, this is it!" immediately clapped the decision, although this place was chosen by Liu E, if Li Zhang felt that it was not suitable, he could ask Liu E for a new place. <
