Chapter 34: The Big Shots
After a painful choice, Wang Dong finally let go of his "dignity" and asked Jiugong for help, he dictated, and Jiugong helped write. It's just that it is indispensable to suffer from the ridicule of Jiugong, but this is a later story.
……
Turning his gaze to the largest official mansion in Jinyang City, at this moment, a mother and daughter were walking slowly in the corridor, and after a closer look, it was yesterday morning, the beautiful woman and girl standing in front of Wang Dong's stall.
Taiyuan is the place where the Tang Li family started. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was divided into a state, and the state was located in Jinyang City, but in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still called Taiyuan. It is also Taiyuan that has this kind of continuous relationship with the Li family, so it is particularly eye-catching compared with other state capitals.
As Wang Dong guessed, the mother and daughter were able to enter and leave the mansion of the state government freely, which was obviously not ordinary people.
The mother and daughter, tired of walking, sat in the gazebo to rest.
Not long after, a figure hurried from a distance and headed straight for the gazebo. This person, dressed in a round-necked robe and a black hat, walked with a tiger-like demeanor and extraordinary bearing.
But at this moment, this person seemed a little anxious, and after coming to the pavilion, he actually knelt down and bowed down: "Minister Li Jian, meet the queen mother, Princess Changle." ”
"Ju Guogong, please get up quickly."
Wang Dong guessed that this mother and daughter had an extraordinary background. But he would never have thought that this beautiful woman was the wife of Tang Taizong, a generation of Tianjiao "Heavenly Khan", and that girl was the eldest daughter of Tang Taizong.
As for the person standing below, he was Tang Jian, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Today, the three heavyweights of Datang will gather here, and I don't know what is going on.
Tang Jian stood still, looked at the eldest grandson, and said, "Why did the queen come to Jinyang?" "You know, the queen is the head of the harem, how can she leave the palace casually?
As for Tang Jian, he is a person from Jinyang, and it is reasonable for him to take the time to return to his hometown and province.
Empress Eldest Sun looked at Tang Jian and sighed: "Hey, the Tang Dynasty has been a disaster for three years, how can I, the queen, feel at ease?" Return to the place where you came and see how the people live now. "Taiyuan, after all, is the birthplace of the Li family, drinking water and thinking of the source, it is understandable that Empress Changsun is very concerned about Taiyuan.
Tang Jian said: "The queen worries about the country and the people, which is the blessing of the people of my Tang Dynasty, but the queen still has to take care of the phoenix body." ”
Empress Changsun said: "Don't worry about this Duke of Ju Guo, I will only stay in Jinyang for a few days, and I will leave for Chang'an in the near future, and Duke Ju Guo will be busy with his own affairs." ”
"Yes."
Empress Changsun doesn't like to interfere in court politics, but this Tang Jian is not good to stay in Chang'an at the moment, so what is he doing here?
"Ju Guogong, His Majesty sent you to Jinyang, is there anything important?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
Tang Jian was a little stunned for a while: "This ...... This ......"
"Forget it, Ju Gong is not easy to speak, and I won't ask."
"Don't misunderstand," Tang Jian hurriedly replied, "This time, His Majesty sent me to Jinyang, just to let the minister inspect the situation in the state, however, the minister guessed that His Majesty's purpose was not in this. ”
"Oh? Ju Guogong might as well talk about it. ”
"The minister guessed that His Majesty sent his ministers to inspect Hedong Road, and I am afraid that it is related to the Northern Turks." Tang Jian replied.
Empress Eldest Sun frowned: "What?" Does Majesty really want to march into the Turks? ”
"This matter is just the minister's speculation, and it should not be true."
Tang Jian's guess made Empress Eldest Sun frown slightly. Datang is in the stage of recuperation at the moment, coupled with the continuous disasters, the national strength has not yet recovered, if the Turks are conquered again at this moment, it will cost the people and money.
Taiyuan Jinyang is an important town in the north, and the Li family was based on this and won the whole world. Now, Tang Jian has been sent to inspect, and the intention of preparing for war is already very obvious.
After a short period of distraction, Empress Changsun waved her hand and signaled, "Ju Guogong, you go and take care of your own affairs first." ”
"Yes." Li Jian was defeated, and Empress Changsun fell into deep thought.
Yesterday, she went to the streets to inspect and found that the disaster had caused prices to skyrocket, and now Taizong was preparing to conquer the Turks, which made her, the mother of a country, how could she be relieved.
"Auntie, I'm hungry." I don't know how long it took, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle took the hand of Empress Changsun and said.
Empress Changsun came back to her senses, only to find that the sun had set in the west.
Raising her hand and touching Princess Changle's head, Empress Changsun asked lovingly, "Qian'er, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Hmm...... Of course, it's a famous snack in Jinyang. ”
"Snacks?" Empress Eldest Sun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, but it's late today, A-Niang will accompany you out tomorrow to eat the famous snacks here, okay?" ”
"Okay." Li Lizhi nodded obediently.
Empress Eldest Sun has such power, she always has a way to appease her children and husband.
……
When the night came, Wang Dong held the "plan" written by Jiugong in his hand, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
From the morning to now, he and Jiugong have been revising and revising, and I don't know how much paper has been wasted, and finally completed the plan of 10,000 words. Ten thousand words, in Datang, are almost equivalent to a book.
After drying the ink, Wang Dong carefully rolled up the plan, and tomorrow it would be put into Sanniang Mengyao's hands.
After doing this, Wang Dong was relieved, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Jiugong and the others were no longer in the wine shop. It seems that they went to the house of the Zhang family lady to prepare the materials needed for tomorrow.
The three servants of the Wang family borrowed by Jiugong stayed under the permission of Sanniang, otherwise it would be impossible for Wang Dong, Jiugong, and Zhang Jianiang to cope with tomorrow's scene alone.
This time, Jiugong and others, who had learned from the past, directly transported six stones of flour from the Wangjia grain store, and in their opinion, as soon as the stall opens tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be sold from early morning to evening.
Wang Dong put away the plan, and then rushed to the Zhang family's mother's house, and found that Jiugong and the others were busy.
"Hey, a few of us, I'm afraid it's going to be similar tomorrow." Jiugong went to work and said.
These words happened to reach the ears of Wang Dong, Wang Dong washed his hands, then joined the labor army, and said with a smile: "Jiugong, don't worry, as long as Sanniang agrees to our plan tomorrow, we can hire a few more people as helpers." ”
"Hire?" The little lady of the Zhang family blinked her eyes and looked at Wang Dong.
Wang Dong nodded: "Yes, Jinyang City is too big, if we want to quickly promote fritters and bean curd, we need to expand the team, and take this opportunity to play our own brand." ”
"Brand?" The lady of the Zhang family chewed on Wang Dong's words, "Wang Lang is so talented, he even knows such things as brands." ”
