Chapter 458: Pavilion Station
"General, the lower official Shan Donggu is the governor of Jiangzhou, and he has been sitting in this position for more than thirty years!"
When Li Weiyong and Li Yuanba were polite enough, Shan Donggu couldn't wait to stand up and introduce himself, in his opinion, it was his turn.
"Oh, the surname!" Li Yuanba tilted his head and looked at Shan Donggu, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't know what the relationship between Shan Changshi and Doctor Shan's family in Chang'an?" ”
"Back to the general's words, Xiaguan and Doctor Shan are the clan's own family, and I am his brother of the same clan." Shan Donggu's face was full of smiles, and it could be seen that he cared far more about the power of the clan than Li Weiyong.
Li Yuanba nodded noncommittally, he now understood why since yesterday, Pang Yu, the commander of the Jiangzhou Weidu, treated Shan Donggu so politely.
Originally, the Tang Dynasty has always paid attention to the family, and the Chang'an Shan family is a typical famous family, and it is no wonder that Shan Donggu was born there.
And Li Yuanba never expected that in such a dissolved Jiangzhou, there would be people from the two big clans of Cheng and Shan as officials here!
If it weren't for the fact that Shenwuwei came here in person, or if it was an ordinary official who came here, this long history might not have taken them seriously.
……
Li Yuanba finally recognized all the officials present, and seeing that the banquet had come to an end, Li Yuanba directly announced the dissolution of the banquet and came to the pavilion arranged by the assassin Shi for Li Yuanba.
And the princes who came by land with Wang Jun have already settled in the pavilion.
At this time, with the arrival of Li Yuanba. The hall suddenly became lively.
"Uncle Four Emperors, you can be regarded as here!"
"It's made me miserable along the way, and I don't have anything to eat!"
"You're really duplicitous. When have you ever treated your mouth badly? ”
Seeing Li Yuanba, Li Su and the others swarmed around and complained to Li Yuanba about their bitterness.
"Okay, Wang Changshi told me about the performance of you little guys a long time ago!" Li Yuanba patted Li Yin's head angrily, and said, "Overall, my fourth uncle is quite satisfied with your performance this time." It's just that you're too stinky boy and lack discipline! ”
"Uncle Four Emperors, I'm very obedient! If it were left aside. I arrived in Ann long ago by myself. It's a county seat! Li Su seemed to be very aggrieved and began to complain directly.
"You still have the face to say, like a stinky boy like you who disobeys discipline, how tired it is to discipline you!" Li Yuanba did it directly, and Li Su lost it to Li Ke. Said: "Ke'er." You go and discipline this guy well, the fourth uncle still has something to do here! ”
"Yes, Uncle Four Emperors!" Li Ke held Li Su's shoulders and walked towards his room without saying a word.
"Lord Wang, an old man in tattered clothes came from outside the pavilion, and he said he wanted to see you!"
At this moment, a soldier of the Shenwu Guard walked in, saluted Li Yuanba and said.
"Oh? Is it coming? Then lead him to the study! Li Yuanba nodded to the Shenwu guard. At the end of the day, I remembered something when I was in private school, and I specially instructed, "You can go out and buy a few sets of clothes by the way." You can't let the dignified former high-level Wang family wear tattered clothes, right? ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
The soldier respectfully answered, and went out to prepare for his departure.
……
After a few breaths, the soldier of the Shenwu Guard led Wang Han, who was quite embarrassed, but obviously became a little more energetic, and walked in.
"Little Wang Han, I've seen His Royal Highness King Wu!"
Wang Han respectfully saluted Li Yuanba, anyway, there are no outsiders in this pavilion, and he is not afraid of being discovered by others if he directly calls the prince.
"Wang Han, sit down! Here are a few questions for you, will you answer them truthfully? Li Yuanba pointed to the seat next to him and said.
"Just ask, the little one will never dare to deceive the prince!" Wang Han still looks like he knows everything.
Li Yuanba lightly picked the corners of his mouth, knocked lightly on the table, and said: "You have been emphasizing before that many records about the Salt Gang and Guyun Village are placed in the Wang family's ancestral house, so this king will ask you a few simple questions." ”
"Prince, excuse me!" Wang Han's posture was very low.
"Well, first question, what kind of people are the robes of the Salt Gang? Who are their leaders, and where are their strongholds? Li Yuanba asked.
This question can still be answered, and after thinking about it very seriously for a long time, he said:
"Lord Wang, the robes of this salt gang were originally a green forest strongman and an idler, but later they were collected by those salt lords, they either hide in the water lanes and forests on weekdays, or hide in the county township, and act very secretively."
Speaking of this, he paused, and said with some hesitation: "As for their stronghold! It seems to be in a depression on the river. However, just like the suppression of Guyun Village, the imperial court has sent people to encircle and suppress it several times, but there are many rivers and reeds, and every time you go, you will return. As for their masters, the name of the big boss is Gongsun Lie, the name of the second boss is Liu Yunsheng, and as for the third master, it is Pei San who was caught by the prince. ”
Li Yuanba showed an expression that was really like this, and asked again: "Then, do you know that after the salt gang robbed those illegal salt and illegal grain, there will always be a market, right?" Could it be that they all kept it for themselves to eat? ”
"This ...... The smaller ones are not clear. Wang Han shook his head and said, "However, I have investigated that the salt sold by these salt lords is at least half cheaper than the official salt of the imperial court, so most of the people go to buy private salt, and they have been repeatedly banned!" ”
"There are a lot of salt lords in the Salt Gang?" Li Yuanba asked.
"I don't know the specifics!" Wang Han shook his head and said: "After all, the wharf in Jiangzhou can be transferred to Jiangnan Province and the states and counties of Lingnan Road, so illegal salt is also very rampant. ”
"That's not right, either!" Li Yuanba furrowed his brows in confusion, "With so many salt and grain goods, how can they be consumed just by the people buying them?" ”
"This ...... These people should have been directly trafficked to a foreign country, after all, these things are very in demand, and they can bring them huge returns. Wang Han said tentatively.
Fuck, trouble!
Originally, it was just to destroy Guyun Village, but now it's good, and the salt gang is involved, and what is more sad is that this Yan Bang is still related to the nobles of the court with sticks, which is clearly a group of moths! (To be continued......)
