Chapter 52: The Eldest Princess
Regarding his mother's request, Li Qiao agreed with a smile, and it was not difficult to let those Qingtang people enter the West Sea to make a living. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As long as it is strictly monitored and controlled, even if there are Qingyi Ghost Zhang and others in the back, these hungry Qingtang people who have lost half their lives will not have the strength to do anything else.
It's just that Li Qiao disagrees with his mother's words that ask everyone to be kind.
Neither he nor Tie Xinyuan are good people.
Li Qiao still has the wisdom to set himself in this position.
In this world, mother can be kind, Zhao Wan can be kind, Zhuoma can be kind, but Brother Yuan can't be kind.
A good emperor can't support a country.
Since Brother Yuan is not a good person anymore, he should be a good person, there should be kind people among the courtiers, these people are the moral bottom line of the empire.
The starting point of all good deeds should be to put profit first, what is the good deed that is not beneficial?
There are many unlucky people in the Western Regions, and no one can help them one by one, so don't be kind like your mother.
This biased kindness itself is harmful to the Hami Kingdom.
In a large collective, the interests of the collective should come first, this is a basic principle.
Saving those children, no problem, if Li Qiao saw him, he would also help, help those women who didn't have much ability to attack, Li Qiao also thought there was no problem.
As for gathering all the Tubo people wandering near Hongya Mountain, Li Qiao thought that this matter needed to be reconsidered.
After two days of walking along the mountain road, a stone castle that had been completely accumulated with flakes of stone appeared in front of me.
The high wall in front of you is extremely majestic, and the layers of flakes and stones are dense like fish scales, which decorate the tall city with extraordinary majesty.
Even in winter, there are many people coming in and out of the city, and it seems that the business in the city is doing well.
Zhao Wan especially likes this city, this is her son's fiefdom, so she holds her son and points at the tall city wall, and is arrogant.
However, as the carriage walked into Qingtang City, the smile on Zhao Wan's face slowly disappeared.
She angrily closed the window, covered her nose with a silk scarf, and blocked her son's nose by the way.
She had never seen such a filthy city!
The cow and horse manure on the ground was covered with a thick layer, and when the horse's hooves went down, they could not lose their hoof nails, even in winter, the strong smell of cattle and sheep made Zhao Wan almost want to vomit.
"This is my son's fief?"
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, the strong stench finally disappeared, and Zhao Wan got out of the carriage and questioned Wang Yan as soon as she got out of the carriage, she was extremely disappointed in Qingtang City, the first city that belonged to her son.
Mo said that compared with Tokyo and Qingxiang City, even the small town of Poplar Land in Hami Country can't be compared, at least, the small town of Poplar Land is not so dirty and smelly.
And the culprit who proposed to give this place to his son as a fief was Wang Yan, an old minion.
Wang Yan's face twitched unnaturally, he had never been to Qingtang City, and he didn't know that this would be like this.
Speaking of Qingtang City, it is the city with the longest history in the land of Qingtang, and it has always been the first choice for the Qingtang people.
It wasn't until Jiaoguo Luo unified the Qingtang Dynasty that he moved his station to Miaochuan City.
Peeked at Zhao Wan and found that she didn't seem to let go of herself, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Princess, you are the pearl of the official family, and there is naturally no objection to obtaining Huiji County, the land of fish and rice, which is known as the pearl of Taihu Lake, as a fief."
However, the prince of our family is not the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is not qualified to obtain a fief, but ah, in order to separate the prince from other relatives, the old slave specially begged the official family to give our prince a fief.
No matter where the fiefdom is, how dilapidated it is, it doesn't really matter, what we want is the same fact.
Our son has a fief.
With a fief, it is naturally a prince, this time we entered Beijing, just to get a prince for the prince, whether it is a prince or a county king, in short, we need a name, and with a name, we will do things.
Princess, you don't really have to care about this broken city, if the prince really needs a solid fief, our king can just get a rich city for the prince. “
Wang Rouhua walked over and touched Tie Xi's little face and said to Zhao Wan: "This city is good, but the Tubo people stink a little and don't know how to take care of it."
In the Western Regions, cow and sheep dung represents whether a city is rich, and the reason why the Tubo people let the cow and sheep dung pile up at the city gate is to tell people that Qingtang is a very rich city. “
Zhao Wan nodded aggrievedly, she still didn't like this stinky city, not to mention, this city was stuffed with cattle and sheep, like a huge livestock pen.
The only thing that satisfied Zhao Wan here was that she picked out twenty pure white horses for her son here.
As the favorite daughter of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, she naturally knew what her father liked the most.
When Liu Bang was the emperor, his carriage could not make up eight pure white horses, which made Liu Bang the laughing stock of later emperors.
That's right, Zhao Zhen is already the most noble person in the world, and his habit of receiving gifts is different from others.
Others are comparing themselves to the people around them, to show off, and he has no analogues in the world.
The only one who can be compared to him is the emperor of the Khitan Kingdom, and as for Western Xia, Zhao Zhen generally thinks that they are all barbarians.
The Khitan Emperor received twenty white horses every year......
The Qingtang horse is derived from the Dawan dragon species, and the height and length are not comparable to the bantam horses on the grassland.
Zhao Wan deliberately found a grassland horse to compare, and in front of the Qingtang horse, the grassland horse was more like a donkey.
For this reason, Zhao Wan also specially asked Rahman, a barbarian, if the horse he picked out was the best.
Rahman had not yet evolved to the point of being able to tell lies, and the first thing he praised was the jujube red horse, who was still training with a herd of horses in Hami.
Then the one who praised was Zaohong's son, the second-generation horse king with a slap print on his buttocks.
These two horses Zhao Wan will not be jealous, one is her husband's brother, many nights, the jujube red horse sleeps with their couple, their own family, there is no need to be jealous.
As for the foal, Zhao Wan will not be jealous, this horse was born with her own eyes, and now it belongs to her son.
As for Rahman's statement that the white horse she picked out couldn't compare to Meng Yuanzhi's bloody horse, she was already a little unhappy.
When Rahman said that the horses couldn't even compare to the pot-bellied brown horse under his crotch, it made her furious.
Although Zhao Wan was very unhappy, she understood that Rahman, a wild man, was telling the truth, so she wanted to get her father twenty white yaks.
For a person like his father, he should not give gifts, anyway, he can't see all the valuable things in this world.
Since you want to give gifts, you have to satisfy your father once, and only when your father is completely satisfied can you have the opportunity to give your son a good prince.
For some reason, Zhao Wan found that the closer she got to Da Song, the more powerful the vanity in her heart became.
In Hami, she is the queen of the world of Muyi, in the Great Song Dynasty...... Zhao Wan felt that it was better to be a noble princess.
Queen Hami is not worth much in the Great Song Dynasty, but the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty is different, even if she grabs the famous Northwest King Fu Bi and scolds, Fu Bi can only listen, even if she is angry in her heart, she can only appeal to her father on the table.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of appeal is fruitless, and once Fu Bi's recital does not have a major state event on it, Wang gradually can stop his recital and not send it to the emperor's table.
My father has a lot of opportunities and doesn't have time to pay attention to such small things.
In the past, Zhao Wan didn't feel and didn't know how to use her identity, but now, for the sake of her son and husband, Zhao Wan wants to use her resources to the extreme.
Why does Qingtang City send 500 war horses to the newly established Qingtang Festival envoy Yamen every year? Why did the goods sent by Qingtang City to the Great Song Dynasty have to be taxed when they pass through Lintao? Also a one-time tax on the value of the goods?
These are all the goods of the eldest princess Zhao Wan, when did the Great Song Dynasty start collecting taxes from the royal family?
The eldest princess is pregnant again and has a big temper!
Fu Bi looked at the official letter sent by the eldest princess from Qingtang City, and slapped it heavily on the table, furious.
"Not a Son of Man, Not a Son of Man, Not a Son of Man......"
He shuddered in circles and roared.
Fang Ru, the left envoy of the Xijing Treasury, hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be annoyed by the mansion, don't be annoyed by the mansion, the eldest princess is domineering, and she has her own Zongren Mansion to reprimand, as a human minister, we must not lose our dignity and humility, so as not to be taken advantage of by the officials." ”
Fu Bi roared and said, "The old man is His Majesty's courtier, not the eldest princess's house slave!"
Look at this document, every word is heartbreaking! Where is the eldest princess in the gentle and gentle back then?
1,600 carts of goods, 1,600 carts of goods, not only did she not pay taxes, but she also asked the old man to send troops to escort her, what else to say, her car was heavy, Qingtang's broken road was overwhelmed, and she asked the old man to immediately send someone to clean up the road.
Does she know that the soil in winter is frozen like an iron plate, does she want the old man to gnaw it with his teeth?
Not the Son of Man!
Brother Fang, you will reply to the old man and tell the eldest princess that all the goods she carries will be taxed, and nothing will be missing.
In addition, he told her that in the northwest, the people were poor and barren, and only by collecting her taxes could they have money to build roads.
If she doesn't pay the taxes, then use her family's gunpowder to blast open the city guarded by the old man, and use her family's ballista to kill the old man.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to enter the Great Song Dynasty without spending a penny! ”
Fang Ru saw that Fu Bi was furious, but he quieted down, took the document and read it carefully a few times, closed the paperwork, and said to Fu Bi, who was drinking tea: "Brother Yanguo, if the princess wants not to pay taxes, she won't pay taxes, after all, the goods she brought to Tokyo are all congratulatory gifts for the official family."
Since the carriage is heavy, then send someone to repair the road, which is nothing more than tinkering, and it will not cost much food.
Sending the eldest princess back to the native state and county of the Great Song Dynasty safely is a big deal! (To be continued.) )
