Chapter 373: This son has seen the emperor
At the beginning of Jingyang County, Li Yuanji did have some expectations, but then again, in fact, it was just like that, although a lot of manpower and material resources were invested, Li Yuanji didn't pay much attention to this matter.
But now, only half a month later, Li Yuanji has to pay attention to it.
In just half a month, Jingyang County's tax revenue exceeded that of last month, and this month has ten days to end, and now Jingyang County's monthly tax revenue has reached more than 600 yuan.
If this trend continues, if you work hard this month, I am afraid that you will break through the 1,000-level mark.
Li Yuanji was not interested, but when Ma Zhou Ke Ma came to the door one after another, Li Yuanji had to pay attention to it.
Especially after Li Yuan, who couldn't be idle, went to Jingyang, he praised him again and again, and he couldn't personally put Jingyang's acting county commander Shangguanyi into the cabinet.
In this way, Li Yuanji couldn't be idle even if he wanted to, especially after hearing Ma Wu's detailed report, he even had the idea of coming to take a turn.
Li Yuanji is not unfamiliar with Jingyang County, he has been here several times, and he has also had different feelings.
On this day, unlike usual, Li Yuanji quietly changed into an ordinary dress, the kind of clothes that were thrown on the street and would not be glanced at at at the slightest identity.
Li Yuanji dressed himself as an ordinary person as much as possible, I don't know when, secret visits seem to have become Li Yuanji's favorite way to go out.
Of course, the emperor's secret visit is quite difficult.
For example, those ministers in the court, and the guards around the emperor will be strongly forbidden.
Although the emperor's secret visit can better see the problem, for security issues, it is a headache for the guards, but whenever the emperor makes some mistakes, these guards will fall to the ground.
Do you really think that this man's glamorous work is easy to do? It's nowhere near as easy as it seems.
However, it is completely different from before now, and Li Yuanji is not the emperor who has just ascended the throne and has not yet gained a firm foothold.
When Li Yuanji proposed to make an unannounced visit, the first person to oppose it was Ma Wu, who had never raised objections before.
As a result, after a fierce dispute, Li Yuanji could only compromise and give in.
So, not far in front of him was the emperor's car, Ma Wu was dressed in armor, holding a sharp sword, and looked around with a serious face.
A mile or two behind, there was Emperor Li Yuanji, an ordinary peasant dressed as a small donkey, accompanied by two guards dressed as dogs.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, with the way you look, who can't see that we have a problem?" Looking at the two guards on foot beside him, Li Yuanji comforted him with some pain.
The gap in identity is not something he can easily erase, and it can't be erased, but at this time, there can be a gap, but it must not be too big.
"Your Majesty...... Brother Bi, I'm not nervous......" Zhang Xu almost made a mistake, and hurriedly changed his words Brother Bi, Your Majesty, Brother Bi, anyway, it's all Bi at the beginning.
"Dirt buns!" The young man riding a horse not far away beside him couldn't help but curse, and then glanced at the carriage behind him triumphantly, and continued: "Your Majesty's carriage is in front, and you haven't walked with Your Majesty, what's there to be nervous about?" Just mud legs like you, it's been like this for the rest of your life, do you really think you can see the emperor by following the emperor's car? ”
Li Yuanji glanced at the goods, dressed like a rich son, but his body and posture did not look rich, and he was a nouveau riche nine times out of ten.
"Master Su, I heard that you have met Your Majesty once?" The other sons and brothers who were traveling with him didn't care, and complimented them again and again, and their eyes quietly probed the carriage behind them, as if they were deliberately singing.
"Is that not it?" Speaking of this, Su Ji seemed to be addicted, "His Majesty once came to the shop of Ben Gongzi's house that day, not only bought a lot of goods, but also praised the thoughtful service, high quality, and fair price. Hey, it's a pity that my son had bad luck and didn't recognize His Majesty, if it weren't for the time when His Majesty was leaving, my son saw the son of the Du Du's family quietly followed, and shouted Uncle excitedly, how could my son know that it was Your Majesty? ”
"Hey! That's the case, Su Gongzi is not a loss, after all, like me, but I haven't even seen the shadow of His Majesty. ”
"I just don't know if Your Majesty still remembers this son......" Su Ji pretended to be entangled and sighed.
"Master Su, can you tell me what Your Majesty looks like?"
"Your Majesty, your eyebrows are clear, you are nine feet tall, those eyes are very sharp, you can scare you half to death with just one glance, and Your Majesty is infinitely powerful, one person can carry dozens of catties of goods to come and go freely, and there is no trace of exhaustion......" Su Ji fantasized hard, and then bragged with a group of fox friends and dogs.
Zhang Xu couldn't help but pout, wanting to step forward and beat this thing.
You bragged in front of the emperor, does your father know about this? Are you sure your dad won't beat you to death?
"Let's go, let's speed up a bit, and we can rest for a while when we arrive in Jingyang." Li Yuanji commanded Zhang Xu and the others, and then urged the little donkey under his crotch.
What can the emperor do? The emperor can't help but brag about it, and besides, he can't open a cowhide tax, right?
Anyway, Su Ji is not the only one in the world who brags like this, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him, everyone knows that they can't have anything to do with him, and even if there is, it's really as he said, purely for secret visits.
As for the infinite future, I will never say it, and the only people who can really make me feel good are people like Liu Shan.
But Liu Shan didn't know about it during his unannounced visit, after all, in the previous disaster year, the Liu family donated all the food, which temporarily solved Jingyang's difficulties, and although he met in Jingyang, he only left a good impression of being down-to-earth and capable, humbly learning, and not boring.
But when it comes to carrying out, it's still far from that.
Liu Shan's opportunity is because his own ability has been recognized by Min Xian, so he has been promoted by Min Xian, to say that Liu Shan's promotion, that is, after entering the imperial court, he only told Ma Zhou a few words.
Li Yuanji didn't have time to pay attention to this goods, because all this was fake, if he didn't say that he left a promising sentence when he left, Li Yuanji really didn't dare to deny that he hadn't been to his shop.
"Wait!" Li Yuanji wanted to leave, but Su Ji was a little unhappy, "Why is this Tian She'er so blind?" Just how fast can you go on that little donkey? Didn't you see that the big guys were all blocked by you? Why don't you get out of the way? ”
"Bastard...... Li Yuanji can still bear it, no, he doesn't have time to lose his temper with these sons, but Zhang Xu and the others can't bear it, even if they brag in front of them, they dare to let the emperor make way for you?
Zhang Xu turned his head angrily, glared at the so-called Su Gongzi and the others viciously, and stepped forward, with a posture of wanting to beat them up.
Yin Ping stayed by Li Yuanji's side, with no intention of taking a step, but his eyes were also not good.
"Good dogs don't get in the way!" Su Ji is not afraid, even if Zhang Xu and Yin Ping can kill people with their eyes, as for whether the other party is the emperor or not?
Su Ji can only say that I think too much.
If he was really the emperor, how could he ride a little donkey? No matter how bad it is, it has to be an ordinary war horse, how can two subordinates walk? Could it be that the emperor is so poor that he can't even come up with the money to match the horses for the guards?
Obviously not, the emperor is also a person, and the guards are also people, if you walk in the city, then it is still in the past, but you let the emperor ride a donkey to Jingyang? Is this possible?
"Three earthen buns, the property of this son's family, but they pay taxes for the imperial court dozens of times every month, and the officials who are too big in Chang'an City don't know it, but the tax officer, the officials of the two counties of Chang'an Wannian still know some."
It doesn't mean Shabi, after scolding people, especially after the other party has put on a posture to fight, and he also shows such a ruthless look.
Su Ji naturally wouldn't be stupid to yell at Lao Tzu and try it, what can you do if someone really tries it?
Even if you really have a big man behind you, don't you still have to suffer now?
Therefore, Su Ji moved out of the officials he knew very sensibly, as for how good the relationship is, it is not enough, but it is certain that he is familiar, do a small favor, maybe there is no problem, after all, he is also a big family who pays more than 100 yuan a year.
I didn't plan to pay attention to these people, but I didn't expect this thing to be aggressive, just pretending to be forced, and bullying people?
Is Lao Tzu really an ordinary person riding a little donkey?
Rao is Li Yuanji, who is a normal heart, also wants to pack up this goods, and the annual tax payment is amazing? There are more than 100 companies that exceed this scale.
"I went to Jingyang to experience the prosperity of the night market, people are in front, if you don't accept it, you will go beyond it, swagger around the market, bully the weak, even the gentlemen in Chang'an City can't do this." Li Yuanji was about to speak, but there was a voice in the carriage that had not moved.
The voice is very thin, but it is very soft, which makes people feel a sense of enjoyment when they listen to it, and the tone is also extremely flat, as if they look down on fame and fortune.
Judging from the previous reactions of everyone, the woman in the carriage should not be an ordinary person, at least her status is higher than that of Su Ji.
As a veteran (selection) player in the love (dish) field (B), Li Yuanji is almost 100% sure that it must be this Su Ji who has taken a fancy to someone, and then pulled a group of fox friends to get close to each other in the name of experiencing the night market.
To be honest, judging from this incident alone, the woman in the carriage is either really broad-minded, or she is even more pretending to be forced than Su Ji, and feels that ordinary little people are lazy to take care of it, and she looks contemptuous of all beings.
Of course, Li Yuanji still prefers to believe that it is the former.
But......
What is the use of the former and the latter? Is it possible that you still have to be in the harem? Although there are only three women in the harem, it seems that it is a little less.
"Remember this guy......"
