Chapter 785 Horse Taming
"How can this be reasonable, how can there be such a reason, so that he can be fooled, father, is he old and confused? Can't see something so obvious? After listening to Li Qing's report, Li Chengqian, who had been waiting for the news in the East Palace, jumped up from the couch in anger, and the tea bowl in his hand also fell to the ground fiercely, splashing debris on the ground. (Vertex Hand Hit)
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry with His Royal Highness the Prince" was taken aback by the performance of their master, especially the three words "old fool", which made Li Qing tremble for a while, can the emperor scold casually?
Whether it is a monarch or a father, it is not Li Chengqian, the crown prince, who can be insulted at will, Li Qing carefully looked outside the door of the study, and saw that there was no one on the left and right before putting it in his stomach, if the words that the prince said just now were heard by outsiders, the master of their family, the master of the East Palace, was afraid that he would also sit on the head.
"Hmph" Sensing that he had lost his words, Li Chengqian snorted and sat down again, finally stopping Fang Cai's disobedient words, but looking at the constant rise and fall of his chest, it was obvious that his anger had not disappeared.
"His Highness's injuries have not recovered, and he can't move, in case he breaks the wounds on his body again, it will be troublesome." Seeing Li Chengqian covering his chest with his hands, his face pale and painful, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help him, waiting for Li Chengqian to lie on his side on the couch again.
"He secretly bought millions of quintals of grain and grass from others, just to make that 'instant pastry'? Snort~" Li Chengqian pursed his lips and sneered, and wanted to drop something again or shout twice to vent his anger, but the pain from his body made him have to calm down.
"That's one million quintals, which is equivalent to nearly half a year's harvest of the entire Tang Dynasty" was finally depressed in his heart, Li Chengqian just lay down and sat up again: "Even if his 'instant pastry' is magical, can he eat that million quintals?" Stockpiling such a large amount of grain may not be able to be exhausted in three or five years. ”
Knowing that the sullenness of their Royal Highness had not disappeared, Li Qing lowered his head and stood on the edge of the couch resignedly, not daring to say more.
"But Father, he," mentioning this, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of anger: "But Father, he let Liu Yi go so easily, why?" Didn't my father, Ping Suri, hate the merchants the most for stockpiling up grain? Why is he this time, doesn't he know that there is no room for slow change between Lone and Liuyi? ”
"Or, my father and the emperor have the idea of abolishing the establishment again, and want to use Liu Yiyi's hand to drive Gu out of the East Palace?" Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's brain, which was still full of anger, suddenly calmed down, and there was a hint of cowardice on his face.
The reason why he was so annoyed, and the reason why he wanted to get rid of Liu Yiyi's life three or five times, to put it bluntly, was because of the slightest fear of Liu Yiyi's existence in his heart.
Think about Wu Zuijian who was under the blessing of Hou Junji at the beginning, think about Hou Junji who repeatedly troubled Liu Yi later, and all those small households who have had a festival in Liu Yi, which one has gotten a good go?
Regarding Liu Yiyi's scheming and methods, Li Chengqian's admiration from the beginning to the fear of being behind the enemy at the end has always been the driving force and fundamental reason why he wants to get rid of Liu Yiyi by unscrupulous means, there is such a terrible enemy, if he can't get rid of it earlier, how can he Li Chengqian live a stable life?
"If Your Highness is not at ease with Liu Yiyi, the villain can find some good hands to try," Seeing that His Royal Highness was distressed, Li Qing stepped forward to express his loyalty: "It's good to be able to kill him, even if he can't succeed, he can make him have scruples and dare not do anything wrong." ”
"Stupid" Li Chengqian scolded, and waved it casually with a slap, hitting Li Qing's face with a crisp sound: "If you can do this, you still need to be reminded?" Liu Yiyi's skills are not bad, it's difficult to find someone who can kill him, don't you know that for the first two assassinations, the father and mother have become suspicious of Lone, do you want to put Lone in an unkind and unjust place? ”
"Yes, it's the villain who didn't think about it, he just cared about being angry for His Highness, and he didn't think about anything else for a while, and he hoped that His Highness would forgive him" Endured the hot pain on his face, Li Qing knelt directly on the ground, and pleaded with a trembling voice.
"Okay, okay, I know that you are faithful, and I have no intention of blaming you, so get up." I was so upset that I couldn't do it, but Li Chengqian still suppressed his temperament and comforted Li Qing with a few words, after all, he was his confidant, although he was at fault, he was also thinking about him, so Li Chengqian had no intention of pursuing it.
"Your Highness Xie, Your Highness Xie is not responsible" Li Qing was grateful for another slam of the ground, and then saw that His Royal Highness of their family really didn't seem to be angry anymore, so he dared to stand up lightly.
"What's going on in Liufu lately?" Suppressing the boredom in his heart, Li Chengqian asked again.
"Back to Your Highness," Li Qingbi was much more cautious than Fang Cai, and bowed down and replied respectfully: "There are some actions, but most of them are normal business dealings, and there are not many things worth paying attention to." ”
"The only thing worth mentioning," Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to have another precursor to a big rage, Li Qing hurriedly replied again: "A while ago, they sent a steward named Liu Bing to Gaochang to collect the white stacks, and I heard that the silver money brought with the car alone is enough to be millions of yuan. ”
"Huh? Millions of dollars in silver? Li Cheng's eyes lit up, he lay on the couch for a moment's thought, and then instructed Li Qing: "You immediately repair a letter and hand this news to Gaochang, don't let their Liu family's business be too convenient, if possible, it is better to directly rob the money." ”
"Yes, Your Highness" Li Qing bowed his head and replied softly, not as much as before.
On the northwest border, Yantian Ranch, Ji He, who was drinking tea and enjoying the snow in the backyard, was disturbed by a pigeon that suddenly flew from outside.
"Huh? Is it written by the young master? Seeing the handwriting on the letterhead taken from the pigeon's leg, Ji He hurriedly straightened up, and his indifferent expression instantly became respectful.
"You all stand down first, and no one is allowed to approach the backyard without my orders." Before reading the letter, Li Jihe took the lead in reprimanding the subordinates waiting in the backyard, and then carefully unfolded the letterhead in his hand again.
"Huh? In this ......, the young master's courage is too big, right? After reading the letterhead, Li Jihe couldn't help but take a long breath, and busily drank a sip of hot tea on the table to suppress his shock, obviously frightened by the content of the letter.
"However, this is also in line with the young master's usual style of acting," reined in his mood, Li Jihe's eyes gradually became firm, clenched his fists, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to himself: "Either you don't do it, or you can do it thoroughly."
"It's just that if this matter is exposed, I don't know how the young master should deal with the serious consequences caused by it?" After throwing the letterhead into the stove and sitting there for a while, Li Jihe got up and walked to the front yard.
"Master, your name is small?" In the living room, the housekeeper He Wen came from outside, saw Li Jihe and bowed and asked their master.
"Well, there is something for you to do," without being polite to He Wen, Li Jihe went directly to the point, and instructed He Wen in a loud voice: "In the next two days, a caravan will come from the territory to Gaochang to buy goods, you find a few guys who are familiar with the customs of Gaochang to guide them and help them get things done as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, sir." He Wen responded, this is not a difficult matter, Yantian Ranch has been open in the border pass for nearly two years, during which he has dealt with Gaochang because of buying horses and selling horses, and he has no trouble finding a few guys who are familiar with Gaochang's customs and customs, they have ready-made candidates in the field.
"Well, okay, you can go now." Waving his hand at He Wen, Li Jihe said, "When you go out, call Wang An to me by the way." ”
"Yes, sir, the little one will pass." Bending over, He Wen took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the hall, and after a short time, Wang An, the chief horse master in the ranch, trotted over.
"Master, what's the matter?" Before entering the door, Wang An asked Li Jihe in a loud voice, and said with a somewhat anxious face: "There are a few mares giving birth to cubs in the west field, you can tell me quickly, and I will rush over after speaking." ”
"Isn't it just a baby baby, what's the big deal?" Li Jihe motioned to Wang An to sit down disapprerovingly, and said, "Your apprentices are not decorations, how can you do everything?" ”
"Huh? Hehe, isn't this a habit? Wang An laughed embarrassedly, remembering that his apprentices had also learned most of his crafts, and it was not a big problem to give birth to a cub, so he was a little at ease, so he sat down at the bottom and said in a loud voice: "What is the matter, you command." ”
"It's not a big deal, I just want to know the general situation in our ranch." As a rancher, but he didn't know how many horses there were in his ranch, Li Jihe asked Wang An without any embarrassment: "I don't know how many healthy horses are available for drive in our ranch now?" ”
"Not counting the newborn cubs and pregnant mares," Hearing Li Jihe's question, Wang An replied without hesitation: "There are more than 30,000 healthy horses that can meet the requirements, and if there is another year, with the secret ingredients that our host gave me at the beginning, the number of horses can be doubled." ”
"Thirty thousand? It's not a decimal number. Nodding lightly, Li Jihe said to Wang An again: "These days, you start to prepare, find a few trustworthy assistants, and follow the previous recipe, and be sure to domesticate these 30,000 healthy horses within two months." ”
"Huh? The lord wants to sell horses? Hearing the meaning of Li Jihe's words, Wang Anxin couldn't help but feel a little reluctant
