Chapter 169: Fighting local tyrants

The next day, Li Yuanji, who had slept all night depressed, woke up in the morning and heard the first news was good news.

In one fell swoop, he washed away his depression in the past few days, and originally called Yu'er in high spirits yesterday, wanting to continue the battle for 300 rounds, but what Li Yuanji didn't expect was that Yu'er's girl was also pregnant, and when she returned from the battle in January, Li Yuanji became a loner again.

Who can understand the feeling of being alone?

"Finally some good news!" Letting the servant dress himself, Li Yuanji let out a long breath and relieved his depression in recent times.

"Your Highness, this good day is not waiting, Chang'an is not waiting, why do you have to fight the Turks?" Yang Shi, who heard the news, also walked into the bedroom with an anxious face, looking at Li Yuanji who was washing and complaining.

I came back just now, and now I'm going to leave again, and I don't know how long it will take? After the end of April, he will give birth, and Yu'er is about the end of August, if it is not good, Li Yuanji will miss the production days of the two of them one after another.

"The Turks are staying in the north, and I can't sleep well." Li Yuanji gently took Yang's hand and explained with a slight smile.

"There are so many civil and military generals in the imperial court, who can't go? You've only been back for a few days...... "Yang's original intention was to persuade Li Yuanji not to show his edge, but Li Shimin has been staring at it, if he doesn't know this time, he will go and never return, he has already experienced this kind of thing once, and he never wants to experience it a second time.

Li Yuanji glanced at Song Zhong, and Song Zhong thoughtfully pulled the other servants out of the bedroom together, leaving only Li Yuanji and Yang in the room.

"It's not that I want to go, but I can't go if I don't go, only by leaving Chang'an, can we live and live freely, understand?" Putting down the smile, letting go of the warmth, Li Yuanji, who had a serious face, said solemnly: "After Yu'er has also given birth, I will send someone to pick you up, and our family will go to the north to live." ”

"He won't agree......" Yang shook his head again and again, how could Li Shimin let Li Yuanji go so easily? Let him be king in the north?

"He's agreed, and when he gets to the north, there's something he can't help but do." Li Yuanji said with a sly smile in the building, Lao Tzu has exhausted all the organs, used all kinds of methods, and left Li Er such a large amount of property, what reason does he have not to let him go? Of course, that property may also become a bomb, depending on how Li Shimin operates.

"When are you leaving?" Seeing that it was impossible for him to change Li Yuanji's mind no matter what, Yang could only keep wiping his tears and quietly crying and asking.

"After the New Year's Day, it is estimated that it will be February at the earliest."

……

After appeasing the Yang family, Li Yuanji was once again fully busy.

Sending troops is not a trivial matter, Chang'an also has a lot of things that need to be prepared in advance, and the deployment that he has spent a lot of effort on will also come to naught.

But it doesn't matter, those smoke bombs that were originally made by themselves were specially used to confuse Li Shimin, and now it seems that the effect is really good.

Chunhua was arranged to do the final publicity of Taipingfang, on the day of the New Year's Day, Taipingfang will be fully sold, which will be his own start-up capital in the north, about this, I see it very important.

Qian Zhuang's money can't be moved, that is the center of gravity of his future contact with Chang'an, an important means to control the economy of Datang, if necessary, he even has to put money into it.

So, after all the calculations, in fact, there is not much money that can really be used in my hands.

"Your Highness, my lord went back to his hometown today to save his relatives, and he is not at home."

"It's okay, this king is not in a hurry, you can wait slowly!" ran several houses in a row, and was excused by various reasons that the owner was not at home, that is, a pig with no brains, at this time it should also be seen that the problem was not concerned, Li Yuanji showed no care, regardless of the refusal of his subordinates, and walked directly into the Zheng Mansion.

"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness ...... "The subordinates of the Zheng Mansion followed closely behind, and they were in a hurry, but they only dared to shout two voices from a distance, and he didn't go up and grabbed Li Yuanji to prevent him from entering."

In the guest hall of the Zheng Mansion, a few braziers were a little, and the temperature instantly rose a lot, Song Zhong hurriedly took out a pot of tea from his arms and personally added tea for Li Yuanji.

And Li Yuanji was a beautiful wanderer, looking east and west, waiting for two hours in a row, and there was no impatience on the surface, and the subordinates could only wait on the sidelines, constantly ordering people to bring some snacks and wait.

……

"Isn't he gone yet?" In the backyard, Zheng Shanguo had a sad face, and while inquiring about Li Yuanji, he secretly complained in his heart.

"No, I don't see the slightest impatience, as if I'm not leaving." The next person's face was full of helplessness.

"What kind of iniquity has this created? Why didn't he stay at our house? Zheng Shanguo also cried out helplessly, Li Yuanji was caught now, in order to avoid him, Zheng Shanguo had to push a few things, and then hid in the backyard and didn't dare to show up.

"Husband, you might as well go out and meet you, if you have anything to say, it's better to find out directly!" Zheng Shanguo's wife was also anxious to persuade.

"Pick? How to pick? He must have come to target our family's grain, and now he is coming to ask for it in the name of sending troops, and there is a big mountain of the imperial court pressing on his head, to give it or not to give it? Zheng Shanguo said with a displeased face.

"As long as it's profitable, what's the harm in giving it to him?"

"You are a woman's kindness, the old man won't tell you." Zheng Shanguo waved his big hand, sat directly on the chair, and drank a whole cup of tea in one gulp.

The tea, or Zheng Shanguo got some from Princess Gaomi through his wife, is not in large quantities, it is very precious, and Zheng Shanguo is usually reluctant to throw it away when he can't brew it anymore.

……

Because he was not used to eating, Li Yuanji asked Song Zhong to go back and get the hot pot, set up a table in the class of Zheng Mansion, and then ate it beautifully, ignoring the occasion and his identity as the king of Qi.

Li Yuanji, who put on a posture of dying here, finally made Zheng Shanguo have nowhere to hide.

When he saw this scene, Zheng Shanguo was even a little skeptical, if he didn't show up again, would Li Yuanji live here?

With a headache and helplessness, Zheng Shanguo could only pretend that he had just returned from the countryside and hurried to the guest hall.

"If you know that Your Highness is coming today, the minister will not go out today, and let His Highness wait for a long time, this is the minister's fault!"

Li Yuanji smiled, picked up a piece of mutton, and waved his hand at Zheng Shanguo: "You haven't eaten it yet, have you?" Eat it while it's hot? ”

"No...... No, the minister ate some snacks on the way back, and now he is not hungry. Zheng Shanguo shook his head again and again, Li Yuanji's things, he really didn't dare to eat them, at least not now.

Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to Zheng Shanguo, and ate by himself, you made this king wait for so long, and that king also asked you to wait for a while.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was getting more and more refreshed the more he ate, that expression, that posture, there was no one else.

Zheng Shanguo, who was a little empty in his stomach, couldn't pull down his face to sit down and eat with him at the moment, so he could only put his face on his face and asked, "I don't know why Your Highness came this time?" ”

"I want to buy some food from your Zheng family!" Stuffing a mouthful of meat into his mouth, he wrote vaguely lightly.

Hearing that he was really here to buy food, Zheng Shanguo's heart tightened violently, and he almost didn't fall directly.

is full of tragedy, if it can be expressed, Zheng Shanguo will definitely hug his head and cry.

Food, that is the life of the Zheng family, and now is a good time for the price of food to rise, and the Zheng family itself is still idle and has little food.

In addition, who in the top leadership does not know that Li Yuanji once predicted that there would be a major drought in the coming year? What does the drought mean? It means that the wealth has skyrocketed, as long as there is enough food in the hand, the family property can definitely be doubled, or even more.

This is the way for the family to survive in business, and Li Yuanji sent people to privately inquire about the grain storage of each family, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Now, who is willing to sell the grain easily?

Although the price of grain in the market has risen a lot, each family still tightens the volume of goods, and can only sell in rations every day, which is why they hide from the king.

"Temple...... How much does Your Highness want to buy? "If you refuse, you can't say it, the Wang family is a good example, because an inconsequential person has directly lost thousands of yuan, or even more benefits, Wang Jue still has a headache, Zheng Shanguo only hopes that Li Yuanji can ask for less, otherwise he can only think of other ways.

Li Yuanji stretched out three fingers and said lightly: "300,000 stones!" ”

"Three...... 300,000 stones? Zheng Shanguo sat on the ground in fright, this special brew is dying, the Zheng family has been stocking for so many years, and after saving up for so many years, he has just saved less than 600,000 stones, and Li Yuanji is about to leave half of it.

"Take ...... I can't take it out......" Zheng Shanguo cried with tears, this time it was really crying.

Now that he has appeared, it is definitely not possible not to give food, Zheng Shanguo does not dare to offend Li Yuanji, sometimes he is more willing to offend Li Shimin than to offend Li Yuanji, his methods make all the families feel afraid, that kind of means that almost regardless of the consequences, they dare not play, and they can't afford to play.

Zheng Shanguo only hopes that his crying can bring some benefits to himself, and let Li Yuanji ask for less.

Or, just don't?

Zheng Shanguo's reaction made people feel a little ridiculous, the dignified Zheng family elder level figure would be frightened by 300,000 stone grains and collapsed to the ground hugging his head and crying, if ......

If he hadn't found out the news in advance, it was estimated that he might have been deceived by Old Man Zheng's performance.

Li Yuanji ignored Zheng Shanguo's crying, and did not show an expression of guilt or self-blame at all, but smiled slightly, and said calmly: "How much food your family has, this king knows it well, and it is already the king's grace to leave half of it for you, of course, this king has always liked to be fair, and this time for your Zheng family, the benefits are definitely ...... great"10
