Chapter 232: The cottage has arrived in Chang'an
The two major factors that plagued ancient rations were preservation and transportation, but this was not a problem for Li Yuanji at all.
I didn't know exactly how to do it, but I knew that it worked.
The transportation can also be carried out by Cao Yun, along the Yellow River all the way to the west, I dare not guarantee that the problem of food can be completely solved, but it can also do our best to ensure that the people will not be starved to death.
Li Yuanji suddenly found that it seemed that he was going south a little early, and he should wait for Li Shimin to carry the disaster year of the past two years to the south, so that he could be lazy in a beautiful way.
Now, I feel like I'm here to wipe his ass.
After the dispersal of the court, the officials performed their duties and were busy with their own work, and learned that Li Yuan had left the Taiji Palace.
Li Yuanji, who had nothing to do, also immediately took people out of the Taiji Palace, what is good in the palace? It's more comfortable to have your own Taipingfang.
Du Bi has some thoughts about Taipingfang, and he stayed in Taipingfang for a whole day yesterday, if it wasn't for the task assigned to him today, this goods will definitely continue to plunge into Taipingfang.
With the stabilization of the situation in Chang'an, the people who took refuge here gradually left here.
After all, Taipingfang is not a place where ordinary people can consume, it is a place where dignitaries and nobles often hang out, and the prices are much more expensive than those in the east and west, but it is better than luxury, luxury, and enough face.
I don't know when it began, Taipingfang has become a gathering place for the ladies and young people of Chang'an.
"By the way, is Nima back?" Back to Taipingfang, looking at the crowds of people coming and going, busy shops and merchants. The two shops that belonged to him on the street were also open, selling some items from the Western Regions, and even the name of the store was very Western, Li Yuanji suddenly remembered Nima.
"I don't know, the slave will ask!" Song Zhong shook his head and hurriedly trotted towards one of the shops.
After a short time, Song Zhong turned back and said: "Your Highness, Nima hasn't come back yet, now the person in charge of these two shops is Nima's younger brother, named Niri, he said that Nima has already sent a letter, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to Chang'an in two months, and it is said that he has gained a lot." ”
Li Yuanji's forehead was full of sweat, and how did Nima's father name these two children? One is called Nima, the other is called Niri, I wonder if there will be a child named Niroll?
However, this Nima has been gone for a year and a half, and Li Yuanji still has some expectations, not to mention anything else, as long as Nima can bring the chili peppers back, this trip is worth it.
continued to wander around the Taipingfang, the business of the street shop was very good, and it was not affected by this turmoil at all, Li Yuanji even regretted it in his heart, was the price of selling the house too low at the beginning? Or it's quite cost-effective to rent it out.
"Taiping Grand Theater?" Walking to a street behind the main street, there were people shouting in front of a shop, there were some rich and noble brothers, after seeing this name, Li Yuanji couldn't help but be stunned.
He hadn't opened a theater in Taipingfang, and he hadn't heard Yang say anything about it, so Li Yuanji, who was very curious, walked in directly with Song Zhong: "Let's go, go in and have a look!" ”
Li Yuanji was promoted to the crown prince, and the news of choosing an auspicious day to ascend the throne has spread throughout Chang'an City, and the rich and noble prince has not seen Li Yuanji.
What is being played on the stage is that the sketch is not bad for money, and the plot is exactly the same as Zhenbei, and even the expressions and movements of the actors are almost the same.
Who did this? It's too arrogant, isn't it? Even if you plagiarize, dare to open it in Taipingfang? You're slapping Lao Tzu in the face.
"I don't know that His Royal Highness is here in person, the small hospitality is not good, and I still hope that His Royal Highness Haihan ......" Knowing that Li Yuanji was coming, the theater steward hurriedly came out to greet him.
"No matter who the master of your family is, how many masters there are behind it, from now on, this theater will be closed immediately!" Li Yuanji, who was angry and itchy, hated that he couldn't directly tear down this place, and he didn't care about the other party's background, so he directly opened his mouth and threatened.
"Your Royal Highness, this ......" The steward was a little embarrassed, but this theater would never be closed, this is certain: "Your Highness, my lord is in the private room, and the emperor is also there." ”
seemed to be afraid that Li Yuanji would not give this face, and the person in charge hurriedly moved out of the emperor.
It is rumored that King Qi has a good filial piety, and the Emperor Taishang is here, you always have to give some face, right?
In the private room, the design is almost the same as the Zhenbei Theater, and it is even more in place here, unlike the north side of the town, which starts from a simple one and then rectifies it little by little.
Emperor Li Yuan was sitting in the private room on the second floor watching with relish, laughing, and next to him was Zheng Shanguo of the Zheng family.
Zheng Shanguo also heard that the emperor was coming, so he hurriedly came from home to accompany him, and several other shareholders also came, but they were driven away by Li Yuan.
"Motoyoshi is here too? Come on, sit down, this sketch is really interesting, I can't stop watching it! Li Yuan pulled Li Yuanji to sit down, and kept praising him, as if he was not enjoying it, and then asked Zheng Shanguo: "Which talent is the one who arranged this sketch?" I want to invite him into the palace. ”
Li Yuan's words made Zheng Shanguo's face full of embarrassment, and he didn't know how to respond.
Erchen also thinks this sketch is very good, and it is also a good way to relieve fatigue while being nervous. Zheng Jiacai is in great power, it shouldn't be difficult to find the author of this sketch, right? Li Yuanji also followed closely with the Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.
"Your Highness, Your ......"
"This matter will be handed over to your Zheng family, give you half a month, find a lonely reward, don't blame lonely for not being emotional!" didn't give Zheng Shanguo a chance to quibble at all, and directly set the task.
"What is this doing? Zheng Shangshu has done a lot of good things for the Tang Dynasty, just now Zheng Shangshu has promised to lend 200,000 stone grain to the imperial court, this time whether he finds it or not, he will be rewarded heavily. Li Yuan hurriedly relieved the siege.
Enjoying happiness is only one of them, there have been disappointments and hopes, how can Li Yuan be willing to fall? Although he has decided not to be in power anymore, he still has to do some things within his ability.
For example, while watching the sketches, I also found Zheng Shanguo, no matter if there is any problem in the middle, at least the 200,000 stone grain was borrowed by Li Yuan, although it did not play a role in the face of the national drought, but it was better than nothing.
In addition, when Li Yuanji went north, the Zheng family also sold him 300,000 stone grain cheaply, which also made Li Yuan very relieved, it can be said that Li Yuanji can go south so quickly, and the support of the Zheng family is inseparable.
Although the existence of the family will affect the centralization of power, things always have to be done step by step, right?
Li Yuanji glanced at Zheng Shanguo lightly, although he didn't speak, Zheng Shanguo was still under a lot of pressure, and beads of sweat like beans on his forehead kept dripping down.
couldn't bear to disturb Li Yuan's Yaxing, so Li Yuanji didn't say anything more, just quietly accompanied him to watch this sketch.
Maybe he was busy borrowing food, or maybe he was too curious about the changes in the outside world, Li Yuan left on his own after watching this sketch, and only Li Yuanji and Zheng Shanguo were left in the private room.
There were only two people left in the private room, and Zheng Shanguo felt pressure, even more than before.
"Your Highness, the minister is guilty!" Li Yuan has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the outside world, he has a preconceived idea, so he naturally won't think of the twists and turns in the middle, there are only two people left, Zheng Shanguo can't care about the dignity and glory of the family, and directly bows his head to Li Yuanji and confesses.
The family has dignity and the family has glory, but the premise of all this is based on their strong enough.
In the past, when facing the king, the family could unite to make the king feel a deep fear, and without the support of the family, the world would eventually be in chaos.
The power of the family is not only limited to the court, in the people, the family is also very prestigious, in the past disaster years, the family will become a great philanthropist to help save the world, the prestige among the people is very high, even more than the royal family.
But now the situation is different, he has to bow his head, and the little power of the family seems to be dispensable for Li Yuanji.
Qi Guo and the family seem to have an incompatible relationship, but in fact, the two are closely connected, and it is precisely because of the existence of Qi that Zheng Shanguo is aware of the embarrassing position of the family.
"You're good, you're good!" Recovering the momentum of the king, Li Yuanji lightly evaluated the horse's mouth.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister is also helpless, the core of the Zheng family is in the Central Plains, the court has opened its mouth, and the Zheng family is powerless to stop it, hey, the minister knows that it is too late no matter what the minister says now, and the minister is willing to take another 100,000 stone of grain to the court, which is counted as the minister's atonement." Zheng Shanguo's face was full of helplessness, knowing that Li Yuanji was not as easy to deal with as Li Yuan, so he could only grit his teeth and take another 100,000 stone of grain, as for paying it back?
Hehe, as long as the 300,000 stone grain can buy the peace of the Zheng family, Zheng Shanguo feels that he can burn high incense.
King Qi already has power, and his old ministry can now be used by him, Li Shimin's old ministry can also be used partially, Li Yuan's power is Li Yuanji's power, and what the Zheng family can involve is basically negligible.
And Li Yuanji only needs to emigrate, so that the foundation of the family can be broken, and the family will lose the most relied on and the most inconspicuous survival support.
Li Shimin wants to suppress the family, and Li Yuanji also has this idea, but sometimes they know what the result is, but they are powerless to change it, even if it is a family, it can only be like this.
The army in Li Yuanji's hands is not vegetarian, even the Turks can be subdued, and against these families, do you still need to think about so many crooked ways?
"This theater is alone, it can be counted as a punishment for your infringement!" Li Yuanji also knew that now was not the best time to deal with the family's problems, so he could only forget it for the time being, not that he didn't report it, but the time had not yet come.
Sooner or later, Lone will make you spit it out......
