Chapter 57: Departure

"Dongshan Hou?" Deyi was surprised, then reacted and said, "Really." ”

"Although Jing'er is still younger and immature now, Jing'er's intelligence is undeniable, and since then, the future is definitely limitless." His Majesty Li Er said: "Since he came back from West Kunlun, I have been paying attention to him, this kid is a revenge character, but the people who are important to him are also very attentive, Sun Yaoting set up a place in Longxi, this kid came back to deal with Sun Yaoting, and also sent the people who were caught to Zhijie, this little bit of caution." Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but smile: "But it's not bad to be so self-aware." ”

"The intelligence of the Marquis of Dongshan can't be covered up when he is a child, and after so many years in Longxi, the character of the Marquis of Dongshan has been sharpened more tenacious." Deyi said.

"Yes, it's more like a loach, the case of Lushan Academy, dare to hide it, is it afraid that I will take Wu Junyan's life in anger? I think that's how brutal I remember? ”

"Your Majesty." Deyi arched his hand and said: "This loss of the imperial gift is indeed not a small crime."

"This matter has passed, don't mention it, I won't bother with him, but this time he helped Cheng Qian to work on Liaodong's affairs, but it really made me look at it differently, Ma Zhou wrote an excerpt to me, this day, Ma Zhou was in Chang'an City, Chang'an's many noble families of the ladies, all built sheds, on the street to raise donations for Liaodong, these people, actually willing to put down their bodies on the street to show up, it's really strange."

"Your Majesty has heard of the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation?" Deyi asked cautiously.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I heard that my son came to me that day and said that he would transfer the income of the fief to the Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation in addition to the expenses, and I asked her at that time, what is this Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation, and she also explained it to me

"Your Majesty, according to the slave maid's point of view, since this Jinyang Public Welfare Foundation is helmed by Princess Jinyang behind it, in the people, it is also a help for Your Majesty, this world is bustling, not for profit, it is famous, and the noble ladies of Chang'an City have such great enthusiasm for it, it is nothing more than for a reputation, and what they do is also beneficial to the people of my Tang Dynasty."

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "What I said is very true, I heard that this idea was also put forward by Jing'er, so I said that Jing'er's future prospects are unlimited, if you teach more, according to Jing'er's character, you will be Wang Zuozhicai in the future, this Liaodong disaster, when discussing in the East Palace, Jing'er was also present, I think that this layout of Liaodong, most of the things are also mentioned by Jing'er and Chengqian, this Jing'er, like Mingde, always looks at the long-term, I am very pleased, Mingde has a successor." ”

If His Majesty Li Er knew that Xuan Shijing's matter was just to marry his daughter in the future and establish a good relationship with his father-in-law in advance, he would not only have feelings.

Early in the morning, Li Chengqian transferred more than 1,000 people from the prince's left and right guards, escorted 70,000 yuan of money drawn out by the Internal Affairs Office and the state treasury, went out of the palace gate, and marched along the straight Suzaku Avenue to the Suzaku Gate, and out of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian ordered everyone to wait outside the city.

Xuan Shijing had already sent a letter to him, saying that the materials raised by the Jinyang Foundation and the silver money obtained from the auction of Yanlailou would be sent to the Vermilion Bird Gate, where he would join Li Chengqian and go to Luoyang together.

Early in the morning, Sun Simiao and one of his medicine boys arrived at Xuanwu Hug, escorted by two people sent by Xuan Shijing, together with the materials, to the Vermilion Bird Gate, and Li Chengqian converged in one place, if you want to buy medicinal materials along the way, you will inevitably need Sun Simiao and the imperial doctor in the palace to come forward, after all, only these doctors know what medicinal materials are the most useful and cost-effective for Liaodong.

After waiting for about half an hour, the silver money from Yanlailou was delivered.

Li Chengqian finally took a large army and set off for Luoyang.

Li Tai's foothold in Luoyang is a rather elegant courtyard, it is said that this courtyard is the former Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang when you traveled to Luoyang, Luoyang local officials built for it, at that time in this courtyard, there are dozens of beauties, for Yang Guang to pamper fortunately, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, this courtyard is also abandoned for a long time, until Li Tai came, only to order someone to clean up, will live here.

In the hall, Li Tai looked through the account books sent by the people below, and said to Du Chuke on the side: "Today, the eldest brother will set off from Chang'an to Luoyang." ”

Du Chuke arched his hand and said, "Exactly." ”

"How's our preparation?"

"Back to Your Highness, in the past two days, His Majesty has ordered people to post notices around Luoyang City to raise materials, but the effect does not seem to be big, although Luoyang City is prosperous, although there are many wealthy merchants, but there are not many nobles who are divided here, there is no appeal of the official family, it seems that the people do not have much enthusiasm for this." Du Chuke said with some shame.

"The call of the officials?" Li Tai smiled: "Lao Du, if you talk about the official family, is there an official family that is more upright than this king?" Hand a post to the wealthy merchants in Luoyang City, saying that the king is in Yunlai Tower, feast on them, and when the time comes, let them come and get together, and the king will personally talk to them. Li Tai smiled.

"Lord Wang, this way, it's not very good, after all, Lord Wang, you have a noble status, how can you be with the merchants"

"Lao Du, you are inferior, if you say that the richest in the Tang Dynasty, I dare not say that the businessmen put the first place, but the wealth of the businessmen, I am afraid that most of the nobles are incomparable, although the businessmen have the nobles behind them as backers, but how much do the nobles get? How much did the merchants get? The treasury of the Tang Dynasty and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in dealing with the disaster in Liaodong, can allocate only 70,000 yuan of silver, if these money are put on businessmen, it is just the capital of two families, Lao Du, needless to say, go and help the king arrange it. ”

Seeing that Li Tai was so determined, Du Chuke didn't say anything more, but just arched his hand and said yes.

Li Chengqian set off from Chang'an and arrived in Luoyang, no matter how it is said, it will take four or five days, not that the marching speed is slow, but that he is carrying supplies, which slows down the process, not to mention, along the way, he has to look for medicinal material merchants to buy and rescue medicinal materials from Liaodong, so it can be regarded as fast to arrive in Luoyang in four or five days.
