Chapter 359: Traveling gradually and being busy

As soon as the chef who got the championship fell, the eyes of everyone who could hear him widen around the entire field, I didn't expect that Concubine Wu Hui suppressed Shui Yunjian like this, but as a result, the people in Shui Yunjian had to go to the championship, Shui Yunjian was really powerful, how could he come up with such a way?

Concubine Wu Hui suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, and asked the cook in a trembling voice, "You are also in the water clouds?" ”

"Hui Niangniang's words, yes, but now the small one does not represent the Shuiyunjian competition, but on behalf of the Qianyan Restaurant, so this time the champion is not Shuiyunjian, but Qianyan, this place is about to become a branch of Shuiyunjian, as long as the chef is trained, he can open the name of the Shuiyunjian branch,."

The chef who won the first place said respectfully to Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui wanted to say that she had tasted it wrong when she tasted it just now, and she wanted to taste it again, but considering that even if she ate it again and got this person down, the champion would still be among the people, not to mention that if she really wanted to do that, her reputation would be over, although what she was doing now made others feel bad, but it was all within the rules, and no one objected to her own rules.

Concubine Wu Hui felt like a person who had wings and flew up to the clouds, but when she was happy, she suddenly fell off the top again, and the fall was miserable.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Yes, this palace has seen the ability of Shui Yun today, okay, stay in this palace and return to the capital, you must be called by someone, and there are also Ruyi Ju and Zhuangyuan Lou, which also belong to the two families of Zhang Wang, not only will this palace eat often, but also recommend it to His Majesty." ”

When there was no way, Concubine Wu Hui could only say a few words, said hello to Queen Wang with a smile, and went back with people, and at the same time decided not to stay here, the emperor was about to travel, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan followed, so as to go and see, and find a chance to find some trouble with the other party by the way.

I'm angry, I'm going to be angry, I'm calculating, I'm still being calculated by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, revenge, I must take revenge.

Concubine Wu Hui left with a smile on her face, while Queen Wang smiled with satisfaction, and said to Xiaozhu, who was angry at the former champion next to her, and now opened her mouth slightly in surprise: "How is it?" This time, you know how powerful Xiaobao and Juan Juan are, right? ”

"That's amazing, how did they come up with that? The reputation is there, the first and second are all gained, and the use of Concubine Wu Hui has made a lot of money, this chef competition is a ticket, the good position is three pennies, and the bad one is a penny, such people have the opportunity to taste the dishes made by the chefs, as for those who don't spend money, they can only be seen from a farther away.

Although the money collected is not much, according to my estimate, the money for the materials provided to the cooks has come out, and the most important thing is the advertising of the merchants here, I think I can earn back the money that we and Concubine Wu Hui came to spend, that is to say, Xiaobao and Juan Juan have nothing to say, and they have a reputation, and there are many dishes named after Concubine Wu Hui and the queen. ”

Xiaozhu nodded his little head vigorously, and calculated in shock.

The smile on Queen Wang's face was even bigger, and she said: "This is the ability of Xiaobao and Juan Juan, if it is not for the fact that I am not proficient in learning, I need to wait for another two months, I really want to go back now, the emperor is going to Jinyang, accompanied by Xiaobao and Juan Juan, let me have a good look at Juan Juan." ”

"Queen, can't you go back, we have to practice well, otherwise Concubine Wu Hui is very powerful, this time it is estimated that she will go back, to deal with Xiaobao and Juan Juan, I guess, she will be unlucky."

Xiaozhu was afraid that the queen would go back, so he persuaded on the side that not only the queen had been trained here, but also the palace maids like them, who had been specially trained in the palace before, and had learned a lot from other palace maids when they stayed in the palace.

But it's far worse than what I learned here, there is a short-term training class here, teaching coordination, teaching a little psychology, learning now, I feel much stronger than before, but it's more tiring, after all, the time is short.

"Don't go back, wait for the emperor to come back, it is estimated that there is no one else's share in the Zen Ceremony, if only you could take me, get up and go back to Yaowang Mountain."

Queen Wang thought that she couldn't participate in the Zen ceremony, and she felt a little regretful in her heart, but she knew that this was to prevent things like the female emperor from appearing again, and when she saw that the matter was over, she had to continue to exercise, and she gave an order, and also walked towards the place where she lived.

The rest of the people were still immersed in excitement, no one expected the final result to be like this, just now when they were still feeling sorry for Shui Yunjian, the last champion turned out to be Shui Yunjian, this is called ability.

The four judges who were on Concubine Wu Hui's side breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the result was like this, if it weren't for this, it was estimated that it would be difficult to handle it in the future.

A group of people dispersed with a smile, and the most talked about in everyone's mouth was Concubine Wu Hui's incident this time, and for a while Concubine Wu Hui was regarded as a joke, after all, this is Huayuan County, where Zhang Zhong served as the county commander, and the people are all towards the two families of Zhang Wang.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also quickly got the news of Huayuan County, which was not far away, not to mention the carrier pigeons.

"Xiaobao, good plan, Concubine Wu Hui still has to be angry now? It's just that she's coming back, thinking that she will participate in Li Longji's travel activities, I think she will find trouble for us, we have to prepare first, and we can't fight uncertain battles. ”

After Wang Juan got the news, he laughed for a while, and then told Zhang Xiaobao about Concubine Wu Hui's return.

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care about how Concubine Wu Hui and others treat him at all, and he doesn't have any handle in the hands of others, the big deal is to find fault with it, if that's the case, it is estimated that Li Longji will feel annoyed if he hears too much, so don't worry, the only thing to worry about is that Concubine Wu Hui doesn't look for trouble with herself and others, but gets closer.

"What I'm most afraid of is that Concubine Wu Hui is idle and wants to help us, for example, we spent a lot of money, she helped us earn it back, she also has private money, invest it on the bridge, or in the market, and when the time comes, blindly command, increase the bridge toll tenfold? Collecting the management fee of the market, and then sending the tax person to stare at the collection of taxes, is troublesome. ”

"Yes, it is really possible that this is the case, the market was originally a market of agricultural nature, and it does not collect taxes, providing a sales channel for ordinary people, and does not let the products rotten.

Who will sell it then? We have to think about it, it's best not to let Concubine Wu Hui know how we want to make money, find something for her to do, let's think about it, and see what to do so that Concubine Wu Hui doesn't have the energy to use it on our business. ”

Wang Juan also thought of this, if she was replaced by another concubine, maybe after losing once in Huayuan County, she would come over to take revenge immediately, but Concubine Wu Hui must not wait to ignore it, that is a really powerful character, I believe that she has lost in Huayuan County for a while, and she will definitely change her means, and she does not need to stab people many times.

"Okay, think about it, what can divert Concubine Wu Hui's attention, instead of waiting for her to take the initiative, it is better to give her a reason to do it, protect the good deal, I think about it, give her a deal, it can't be to make a lot of money, and it can't be to lose money."

Zhang Xiaobao began to think about it, and Wang Juan was also thinking on the side, she understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant, she really gave a deal to make a lot of money, that was to help the enemy, but if she lost money, what should Li Longji think? Who believes that Zhang Xiaobao's method can lose money? Isn't it a set specifically for Concubine Wu Hui?

Now Li Longji has been trying to find a way to abolish the queen, Concubine Wu Hui was about to succeed, but she was destroyed by herself, so that Li Longji has no excuse, it can be seen how good she is to Concubine Wu Hui, but unfortunately Concubine Wu Hui is destined not to be the queen, she is powerful because her surname is Wu, but because of her surname Wu, people are afraid of another Wu Zetian.

"Hey~! Wu Zetian, if she was born at our time, it is estimated that she will definitely go further than this time? In fact, she did a really good job, but men couldn't tolerate her, we had at least a lot of foreign women at the head at that time, in terms of calculation, I don't think they can compare to Wu Meiniang. ”

Wang Juan sighed and said, even if she is ready to stand on the side of Queen Wang now, she did not deliberately belittle Concubine Wu Hui, characters are characters, whether they admit it or not, this kind of person cannot be treated idlely, like Li Linfu, who has not yet reached a high position, she has demonstrated her ability.

Zhang Xiaobao disagreed with Wang Juan's statement: "Do you mean that all the women in us at that time were not as good as Wu Zetian?" The more in the era of smooth information, the less Wu Zetian has a chance, that is because many men still can't stand to let a woman be the emperor. ”

"What about foreign countries?" Wang Juan asked.

"How do I know what's going on in foreign countries, forget it, don't mention this kind of impossible thing, I thought of a deal that can be given to Concubine Wu Hui and let her invest her money, but the annual income is not much, at least it will take ten years to return to the capital, you can help me advise."

Seeing that he was talking about other aspects, Zhang Xiaobao stopped, changed the topic, and pulled Wang Juan to the table next to him, where he discussed.

Before the autumn harvest, the people were busy digging ditches, this time digging not small river ditches, they needed to be able to sail in the middle, even if the big ships could not pass, at least the smaller cargo ships must be able to pass.

Holding the tools issued by the yamen, eating the food provided by the yamen, the people were bare-chested in the ditch and worked hard to dig the soil, at this time many sections of the ditch had been dug two people deep, but it was not enough, continue to dig inside, the more you go below, the more difficult it is to dig.

Because the ditch is wide enough when digging, digging down, someone needs to use the soil basket to lift the soil, the resulting soil and stone can be a lot, at this time it is just digging, and after digging, before the water is brought over, it has to be reinforced, and leave the outlet that can lead the water to the side, next year you don't have to dig the well water so hard to water the ground.

In the same way, we can continue to grow rice, and it is estimated that if we plant early next year, we will be able to grow twice a year like wheat, sorghum and barley, but in the past, because of the lack of water, there were few people who planted rice.

He Yiwei is still doing his thing, telling the people about the financial situation of the county every day, and then going around the tourist area of the model, selling some information that others need, guiding the people who come to cooperate in the production of food to advertise, etc., and his own store has also opened.

The 500 guan that was put into it at the beginning, now it has recovered 300 guan, and in a few more days, it will be able to return to the capital, and it will be more prosperous in the future, how can you earn three or four thousand guan in a year, which is more than corruption and bribery, and you don't have to take any risks, plus you can get land in the next place you want to go, and you don't have to worry about your family's life.

The place where Wang Ba was raised is still raised, and the poisoned Wang Ba has long been sent to Fengzhou on freezing, and it is estimated that before the winter of this year, there will be a lot of livestock transported back, even if he is not in the county as a county commander in the future, the people will remember him.

Looking at the development of the county, He Yiwei was so comfortable for the first time, riding on a horse and starting to walk along the digging place again, stopping from time to time to ask the people who were working and resting if they had any ideas, if anyone was willing to run the boat, they could help make a loan to make a boat.

The people have become accustomed to the situation that the county order does not stay in the yamen and run around, and they usually meet He Yiwei a lot, and they don't feel that He County Commander has any official authority, and he is not restrained when he speaks, and he has something to say.

He Yiwei was asking the two brothers at this time, the two are brothers, the age difference is one year, they have already married and had children, the surname is Gao, there are not many such surnames in Baoxin County, there are more surnames Luo, and there are more surnames Fu.

The eldest looks a little older, just in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, probably always taking care of his younger brother, looking like a man in his forties, and his younger brother is much younger and likes to talk to others very much.

The big one is called Gao Fei, and the small one is called Gao Teng, and when he heard this name, he knew that he wanted his two sons to get ahead one day.

At this time, the two of them had just come up from the pit at the bottom, sitting next to them drinking mung bean water, resting and talking.

When He Yiwei came over, the two of them only nodded and didn't get up.

He Yiwei wore a patched official uniform, not a patch that was worn out, but he always walked around, and he could add a layer of cloth in the place where it was easy to grind, so that he was not afraid of wearing out his clothes, so he sat down generously next to the two brothers, looked at the people digging below, and asked the boss:

"Goofy, do you have enough people at home? If it is too much, it is better to buy a boat, and in the future, the two of you brothers will earn a living on the river, and you can make more money by stopping when the farm is busy. ”

"My lord, my little brother and I have this intention, but we don't know how much a boat costs? If it's expensive, we can't afford it, can we get this from that employment fund? ”

The boss handed He Yiwei a bowl of mung bean water and said the same idea as He Yiwei.

He Yiwei thought for a while, nodded and said: "The employment fund, naturally, includes this part, I have written to the capital to ask Xiaobao and Juanjuan, it is estimated that there will be a reply in a few days, I heard Erniu say, saying that if the person who bought the ship needs goods, the county will find a way to distribute the goods in the future, but you must pay a part of the money out."

I think it's not bad, don't look at a part, you will earn more, in fact, I think the best thing about this employment fund is for people with less labor at home, so that they can make money, but Xiaobao and Juan Juan disagreed, saying that there were few people in the first place, and they had to farm, and then they did something else, and they couldn't be busy.

So in the end, this employment fund was used for people who had surplus labor at home, and after collecting taxes, a part of it was used to subsidize the families in difficulty in the county.

Xiaobao and Juan Juan will go to the capital this time to talk to the current saint about this matter, called welfare, whether it can pass is not clear, if it passes, I have to talk to the person who paid the tax, otherwise many people will feel that why should they pay the tax money to others in vain. ”

"Yes, why give it to someone else? Isn't the county's revenue supposed to be spent on everyone in the county? Gao Fei's younger brother Gao Teng followed He Yiwei's words and was very incomprehensible.

Or when my brother understands more, he thought for a while and said, "What do you know? The income in the county is used for the people in the county, but Lord He and Zhang Zhuan and Wang Xiancheng are willing to disclose that income and expenditure, even if it is not disclosed, what can you do? How many places do you see doing this?

Give to others to others, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to them in their lives? There is no illness or disaster, today we paid taxes to help others, maybe one day we also need the help of others, besides, why didn't we give it to you, and soon the county will give free medical treatment to the people in the county.

Isn't this part of the money also available to those who are sick, but not to those who are not sick, is it because you are not sick that you will not let the yamen spend this money? When you are sick, the moment when the money you earn cannot be treated, do you want to regret it? ”

Seeing Gao Fei understand so well, He Yiwei became happy and said: "Yes, no one dares to say that he doesn't need help from others in his life, the money in the yamen can't be spent evenly on everyone, whoever needs it will be used on whoever he needs first, the people of a county, if they want to be united, those who can pay more taxes are capable people." ”

Gao Teng was silent by his brother, because he was sick a few days ago, and he saw it in the clinic next to the yamen, and he didn't ask for money to see a doctor, and the medicine he bought was very cheap.

Gao Fei listened to what He Yiwei said, with a yearning on his face, but suddenly asked worriedly: "Lord He, when you and Xiaobao and Juan Juan are gone, will the new official listen?" What if he is greedy for money? ”

"Will you listen? Then you have to see who set the rules, Sanshui County knows, right? Do you think the officials there will listen? It's a pity that it can't be done here, and the people can't be elected, but the people can supervise and ask the officials from above to disclose their finances, and if the officials don't listen, someone will naturally clean him up.

Even if Xiaobao and Juan Juan are trying to protect their own face and business here, they will never allow Baoxin County to get out of their control, they will be honest officials, and if they are not honest, they will be replaced, and it will be good if all the officials get used to it in the future. ”

He Yiwei didn't think that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would care about anything if they put the big deal here.

The three of them chatted happily until the two brothers felt that they had regained their strength to go to work, and He Yiwei stood up with a smile and patted the soil on his body casually, ready to go to the next place to have a look.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves came at this time, He Yiwei looked in the direction of the sound, sighed helplessly, and came again, he had already refused once, why did he run here again?

The person who came was Yan County Lieutenant of Xincai County, and last time he came to ask the rich people in the county to pay for the construction of the road, saying that after the road was repaired, the rich people had a good road when they left, and the others took another one, and sent people to maintain it.

This is the so-called big deal, and if anyone wants to take a good path in the future, they will also get money, which is said to be a status symbol.

The idea is good, but He Yiwei didn't agree to anything, he is not short of money, he opens a small shop, and has an income of three or four thousand yuan a year, and after Yaozhou takes office, there are also a lot of breeding businesses to develop, why do this kind of thing that is poked in the backbone, and he has to share Yan County's lieutenant, and he is not stupid.

I don't know what I'm doing again today, I guess it's not a good thing.

Thinking like this, Yan County's horse came to the front, got down from above, and said to He Yiwei with a smile: "Lord He, I'm here again, today is not like last time, I went back to think about the last time, thanks to Lord He didn't agree, otherwise it would be really easy to have an accident."

Last time, it was like this, if someone didn't spend money, they still had to walk on that good road, and there were too many people needed to take care of it, and even if the other one saw it, he couldn't be arrested, he could only catch it, and it was useless, so I didn't think it would work. ”

He Yiwei is not talking nonsense in his heart, who doesn't know that it can't be done, you seem to be very powerful.

didn't give County Lieutenant Yan a good look, He Yiwei said to him: "I don't know why County Lieutenant Yan is free today?" Is there five things to do in the county? ”

"It's okay, it's nothing at all, with Master Li and Master Cui here, I'll be idle, no, I thought of a way to make a lot of money last night, better than the previous one, oh, it's feasible, it's not like the previous one."

County Lieutenant Yan didn't seem to notice He Yiwei's attitude, and still talked about the purpose of his coming over with a smile.

He Yiwei was really annoyed, frowned and asked, "Since County Lieutenant Yan has so many good ideas, why don't you do it in Xincai County, and you have to go to my Praise County?" ”

"Hey~! Lord He, you asked me in my heart, I really want to do it in Xincai County, but Master Li and Cui County Order don't listen to me, and the two of them are big officials of the third or fourth grade, I can't afford to offend, oh, it's not that I can offend Lord He, they are a Beijing official, where do they know about local affairs. ”

Yan Countywei's smile was immediately put away, and he complained to He Yiwei with an aggrieved face.

He Yiwei didn't answer this time, his eyes looked into the distance, standing there motionless, he didn't think that Yan County Lieutenant could come up with any good ideas, if it was a good way, Xiaobao and Juan Juan would have proposed it a long time ago.

Seeing that He Yiwei was silent, County Lieutenant Yan didn't care, leaned next to him, and also stood there looking into the distance, and after a while, he spoke.

"Lord He, I really have a good idea this time, that is, the things on the river, after the river is repaired, anyone who walks on the boat, come over once, and collect a sum of money, not more, if there are too many, people should not come, you think, this river has to be cleaned up every year.

For example, reinforcing the river embankment, such as cleaning up the silt, this part of the need for people, collecting a part of the money, is also famous, but how much money can really be used on the river? In my estimation, there must have been quite a few ships coming and going.

This money is not easy to collect in the name of the yamen, you can set up a chamber of commerce, the county will clean up the river and maintain the matter to the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce will collect other people's tolls, which can be calculated according to the number of goods, or according to the number of times, on the contrary, when the time comes, see how cost-effective to do.

Lord He, this is a good idea, if you want to make more fame, just take out a little more money you earn, who can know how much money you have received and how much you have taken out. ”

He Yiwei really didn't know what to say, this Yan County Lieutenant's brain is really useful, but why do you have to use it on this, who doesn't know that there will be more ships going back and forth in the future, and the money that can maintain the river, as long as there is a sale, you must pay taxes, and part of this tax money will be taken out.

In addition, the people in the county still have 20 days to work every year, so it is enough, so why do you need to charge some more money, you are crazy.

Suddenly thinking of the Chamber of Commerce mentioned in Yan County's words, He Yiwei finally knew what was going on, and asked, "How is the Chamber of Commerce formed?" ”

"Lord He has also figured it out? The Chamber of Commerce, simple, you can't really use other people's chambers of commerce, you and I will each send a few people, this is really no business, no need to invest money first, as long as Lord He you agree, then we will divide fifty-fifty.

Not only that, the Chamber of Commerce can also find craftsmen to help unload and repair the ship, as long as Lord He gives an order, all matters related to the dock will be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce, and no one else is allowed to interfere casually, and we will talk about it here in the future. ”

Lieutenant Yan thought He Yiwei was moved, and hurriedly spoke again.

He Yiwei looked at Yan County Lieutenant with the eyes of a fool, and after looking at Yan County Lieutenant at a loss, he said: "How good is this official doing himself, why do you have to take you for something?" ”

"Uh~! That Lord He, this is not the case, you see, after you take advantage of the benefits, there will naturally be others who are dissatisfied, in case the people in Xincai County are not satisfied, take a letter, and then collect a part of the money first, do you say that the ships that come and go can still pay the money here?

I'll help you solve the matter over there, as well as the local gangsters and squires, I can deal with it all, I have a way to get them not to interfere, and when the time comes, I just need to share a little benefit with them, and I will take care of all the things I talk to them. ”

County Lieutenant Yan really didn't expect He Yiwei to say something like that, so he hurriedly continued.

Listening to the words of County Lieutenant Yan, He Yiwei really admired, a capable person, but unfortunately he made the wrong idea, if he really agreed, he offended the people in the county, and the reputation he had built up with great difficulty was gone, and the money had to be divided.

County Lieutenant Yan can use this money to befriend the squire or an official, and when the time comes, he will continue to rise to the ranks, smart, no worse than his previous self, it's really difficult for him.

Thinking of this, He Yiwei said to County Lieutenant Yan: "County Lieutenant Yan, it's better to do this, you try it on the Rushui in Xincai County first, there are always boats coming and going over there, and there are more than those who come here in the future, I will cooperate with you, and you don't have to give me half of the money you earn when the time comes, and you can do it in two ways."

I'm responsible for lobbying other people over there for you, after all, there are four workshops there, and people who want to come to Xincai County will still give this face, and I don't know when the water will be available here, I'm in a hurry. ”

"That's not the case, didn't I say it before, Master Li and Master Cui may not agree, I can't manage anything as a county lieutenant."

Yan County Lieutenant didn't expect to go around and around to his body, so what can he do.

"County Lieutenant Yan is too worried, so this official and you will go to Master Li and Cui County Order together, you tell them, and I will agree to cooperate, and it will naturally be easier for the two of them to talk."

He Yiwei said as he took a handle and pulled up the people who were tired of working below with ropes.

County Lieutenant Yan finally changed the smiling look on his face just now, and said to He Yiwei: "If He County Commander doesn't agree, forget it, why push me into the fire pit?" They all said that they couldn't agree, and they had to mention it, since this is the case, He County ordered it to do it for himself and leave. ”

After speaking, Lieutenant Yan pulled the reins of the horse and turned over.

"No." He Yiwei didn't give the other party any good looks, and even dared to threaten himself.

After waiting for Yan County Lieutenant to ride a horse and not see his figure, He Yiwei was worried that the other party would make something happen, so he also rode on his horse and hurried to the Yamen, he felt that Yan County Lieutenant was a villain, and he always had to worry about his own side, and he had no good way but to write a letter to Erniu to send to the capital with pigeons.

Before the letter was written and delivered, a letter was sent to the county from Luoyang.

When I opened the letter, it was written by Zhang Xiaobao, and it said that the people who stayed here should cooperate with the county to set up an insurance chamber of commerce, and try it to see if it can be done.

It is said that it is accident insurance, this accident is not an accident of people, but the production of the field, such as drought or flood, ask the people whether they are willing to take out insurance or not, if they are willing, try to let the people invest, and do not want to wait for the time to come back.

He Yiwei had heard of such a thing for the first time, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to give it a try, and he didn't know what the benefits of doing it were.

As the day of Li Longji's travel is getting closer and closer, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also more busy, the emperor's travel is not a trivial matter, and the work of the guards does not need two people to take care of it, but whether the road is smooth along the way or not, whether it is comfortable to eat, drink and live is comfortable, all two people need to consider.

There are also the reception specifications of the officials encountered along the way, as well as the etiquette, etc., since it is a job, it must be completed.

At this time, He Yiwei's letter also arrived, looking at the content of the letter, Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly to Wang Juan: "Xiao Li is really right, he arranged for a person in the past to prepare for us to clean up, and also transferred us to the capital, how to clean up?" Are you going to go to the palace to eat hot pot at noon today? ”

"Well, I'm going to eat, do you want to take this letter with you, show it to Xiao Li, I don't know what Xiao Li thinks, I've liked hot pot recently, and there is no chili, what kind of hot pot to eat on a hot day, how good it is to eat some barbecue, the barbecue skills of the chef in the palace are still good."

Roast a camel, or roast a cow, Xiaobei said, if you eat hot pot, you will become something in the pot, Xiao Li doesn't take care of the child, and every time you have to let Xiaobei and them follow. ”

Wang Juan is also tired of eating, he has eaten four times in this day, and it is two hours to eat, Xiaobei They eat less, and they can't run around casually after eating, so they stay next to the hot pot as a good child, there is an ice basin in the room, and the front is grilled by charcoal, and no one will be comfortable.

Zhang Xiaobao laughed twice, "It's easy to do, today's hot pot is not so roasting, the last time the things I let people make are done, they will be brought to the palace together, isn't it shabu, no one said that we have to use the most classic Beijing pot, let's use a small grid pot to eat hot skewers this time, the stove is long, put an ice basin underneath, and then take a curtain to block it, it will not be so hot."

Just do this, bring He Yiwei's letter, I am really worried that He Yiwei will be tortured and go crazy, of course, I am even more worried that the person surnamed Yan will deliberately make trouble, even if he is arrested and cleaned up at that time, the gains will outweigh the losses, and our affairs are the most important. ”

Just do it, Zhang Xiaobao promised his younger brothers and sisters that he would eat well today, and he was not in the house, under the awning outside, and he could play elsewhere while eating, Xiaobei and the others reluctantly agreed, otherwise they would rather not have this official than suffer from it.

With tools, the little ones wore the seven-grade official mansion, and entered the palace again, and the people on the streets of Chang'an were used to a group of petty officials coming out for a stroll when they had nothing to do.

The palace guards guarding the door were also used to it, and they didn't check it, they just put it in, and the little ones didn't have any weapons on their bodies, and they checked it twice for the first time, and they were complained about once.

Li Longji had been waiting for a long time, Concubine Wu Hui came back the day before yesterday, which made him very happy, and Concubine Wu Hui also wanted to be together today, considering that this was a meal with the courtiers, and it was not good to have one more lady, so he refused, but after the trip, there was a lot of time to eat together.

A long row of skewers of things were delivered, which made Li Longji stunned, after listening to Zhang Xiaobao's introduction, he felt fresh, and ordered someone to set up a shed outside, and everyone ate together.

It's not that it's good outside, it's that Zhang Xiaobao is worried that too much carbon monoxide will come out of the charcoal under this long row of stoves, and it will be poisoned, so you don't have to worry about eating outside, even if there is no wind.

The things are ready, and the other food to be washed is also prepared, and whoever wants to eat it will put it in the small compartment by himself, and eat it when it is ready.

Xiaobei and the others didn't care about this kind of thing, they ran around in this big yard, waiting for their brother and sister to help them clean up, so they came over to eat two skewers, and then continued to run.

Li Longji looked at Xiaobei and the others smiling in the courtyard, and was in a very good mood, after eating a few strings, when he was about to ask Gao Lishi to give two more shabu, Zhang Xiaobao took out the letter written by He Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, here's a letter from Baoxin County, the county lieutenant Yan you arranged to Xincai County has not been very honest recently."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao handed the letter to Li Longji's hand, and he began to skewer his younger brothers and sisters again.

Li Longji took the letter in wonder and read it from beginning to end, and after that, he didn't know what to do for a while, yes, he sent the person, and he was going to let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan help manage it like He Yiwei, but now that the two of them have come to the capital, they can't manage it over there.

"Lux, what do you think?" Li Longji handed the letter to Gao Lishi again.

Gao Lishi swept his eyes twice, and was also worried, pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to transfer him to another place first, so as not to take advantage of Xiaobao and Juan Juan to make something happen over there, even if it is useless to kill him after an accident." ”

Li Longji thought about what Gao Lishi said, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, what do you think?" ”

"I think? I don't think it's necessary to transfer him away, just find something for him to do, such as letting him in the shortest possible time, how much profit the four workshops can generate, how many jobs can be provided to the local people, and how much benefit the local people can get from it.

Just order him to do this, don't look at it as just this little bit of work, it's not easy to figure it out, especially a lot of data he doesn't know, one is to ask the people in the workshop, the other is to calculate it himself, don't let him be idle, he can't spare time. ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want Li Longji to transfer people away, because he was still going to go back after the trip to see for himself what the people surnamed Yan had in mind.

"Then do what Xiaobao says." Li Longji has no main purpose in this matter.

Tell Colliers to write a will, and it will be done.

He turned around and continued to eat, and asked as he ate, "Xiaobao, do you know how is going in Tibet now?" ”

"I haven't received a letter for ten days, my people have all withdrawn, and now it is estimated that I am waiting for Tubo in Yizhou to have no food in the end, so that I can continue to exchange with it, does Your Majesty have any new news?"

Zhang Xiaobao swallowed a shrimp ball, looked at Wang Juan, and said to Li Longji.

Li Longji shook his head, "I don't have any news here, I'm afraid that if Tubo really suffers a catastrophe this year, not only will it not exchange with our dynasty at that time, but it will raise troops to fight and fight to the death, then Juan Juan can still defeat them?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan suddenly realized that Li Longji was worried about this matter, the two glanced at each other, and Zhang Xiaobao said:

"I guess it's impossible, because even if the food is gone, they still have a lot of poultry, as long as the poultry has not been eaten, they are not willing to move, we can go over and help them immediately when the locust plague is severe, one is to transport grain there, and exchange poultry and local good things with them.

The other is that the locust plague is really scary, and after this year's trouble, there may be trouble next year, many locust eggs have entered the soil, in case there are too many locusts, it is not good to fly to my Datang, in the past, people will help, reduce a large part first, and wait for next year's trouble. ”

Li Longji nodded, he felt cold about Zhang Xiaobao's plan, it was too terrifying, it was really ruthless to let Tubo cause a locust plague.

"In this case, arrange it in advance, let people send the letter quickly, Xiaobei, there is a prawn here."

After speaking, Li Longji took out a prawn and shouted at Xiaobei, who was running crazy over there.

"The minister is here." Becky turned and ran back.
