Chapter Forty-Eight: The Folk Style is Fierce (Ask for Collection)
Li Yu left Jinling this time without too many people with him.
Because he was punished with Li Yu, Tang Hong also went to the Yangtze River together.
Of course, Tang Hong's entourage was proposed by Li Yu to Li Jing, after all, it is much more convenient to have such a person by his side.
Li Yu's departure from Beijing this time is equivalent to being assigned, so there is no one to see him off.
"Your Royal Highness Six, take care of yourself all the way, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, with the old ministers here, there will be no major events in the court." Zhou Zong sat in a sedan chair with a smile on his face.
"Jinling City has begun to use silver tickets, first to the merchants, and it has been used everywhere in the DPRK and China, if it can, it may as well be extended to various state capitals, so that the treasury will be more abundant." Li Yu did not answer Zhou Zong's words, but talked about government affairs.
"Sixth Highness, rest assured, your method is very useful, it is favored by businessmen, and it will not be long before it becomes popular," Zhou Zong narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yu in front of him, he had never been able to see through how many new things there were in the hearts of the young man in front of him.
It's just that he understands Li Yu's intention to mention this, but he doesn't want to say it in that direction.
Zhou Zong didn't mention it, but Li Yu couldn't help but mention it, because he imagined that as soon as he left, the cigarette business would inevitably become a state-owned industry, and the cigarette factory he had worked so hard to build would be in vain.
"Zhou Situ, you have to keep the cigarette factory for me." Li Yu said with a smile, and the calmness and cunning in his tone were exposed.
Zhou Zong sighed, Li Yu still said it in the end, but his heart was bright, once Li Yu left, if Li Hongji did not get involved in the cigarette factory, it would be a strange thing.
With a bitter smile helplessly, Zhou Zong could only nod his head in agreement.
Except for Zhou Zong, no one in Beijing came to see him off, which can be seen that Li Yu has indeed reached the point where he can no longer be snubbed by people at this moment.
"Human affection is thinner than paper." Li Yu thought in his heart that after he said goodbye to Zhou Zong, he and Tang Hong took more than ten soldiers and set off in the direction of Chizhou.
Li Yu went to the Yangtze River to patrol the defense, and the first stop he wanted to go was Chizhou.
Although Li Jing did not ask him to patrol anywhere, only said that he was patrolling the Yangtze River, Li Yu knew in his heart that the most important thing was Chizhou.
The road was safe, there was no danger, this day finally came to the boundary of Chizhou, and soon came to the city before the last time.
Looking up at the city, Li Yu was full of emotion.
Although the last time I came was very risky, there was a big battle on the way, but fortunately I fought bravely and broke out of the siege after killing the enemy general.
However, the coolness and enthusiasm at that time were not the feeling of being cold and cold today.
Taking a deep breath and taking a breath of the air here, the hot blood in Li Yu's chest seemed to be ignited by him again.
"It's not so easy to defeat me completely, Lao Tzu is reborn, people who have died once, although they cherish life, but they also have to fight for something of their own in this world."
There are bold words in his heart, but the horse under the crotch does not stop, and soon enters the city.
Entering the city, he soon came to Lu Jiang's mansion.
Tang Hong got off his mount, walked quickly to the head of the door, and after reporting to the sergeant in front of the door, Lu Jiang soon greeted him with a big smile.
"Sixth Highness, this is the gust of wind, blowing you to me, why don't you send a letter before you come, let me arrange it in advance." Lu Jiang said, he had already come to Li Yuma, and he was about to bow down as soon as he bowed.
Seeing that Lu Jiang's demeanor was still the same, Li Yu couldn't help but smile, turned over and dismounted, and grabbed Lu Jiang's arm, "Old general, why bother like this, I'm here to grab a job with you this time." ”
Hearing the words "grab a job", Lu Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't react to the meaning of Li Yu's mouth for a while.
Seeing that Lu Jiang was stunned, Li Yuha smiled, took his hand, and walked towards the mansion while telling him about leaving Beijing and coming here.
Hearing Li Yu talk about the key point, Lu Jiang couldn't help but be furious, and the body that had just sat down couldn't help jumping up, pointing in the direction of the capital and scolding, "What's the matter, use this kind of indiscriminate means, don't let Lao Tzu see you, and when you see you, you must unscrew your head." ”
Li Yu smiled bitterly, this Lu Jiang is indeed a bit of a tiger, but he also knows that Lu Jiang is just a happy mouth, if he really goes to the capital, he is old and has a lot of experience, he will not be so reckless.
"We're all hungry, let's get something to eat." Li Yu smiled and stopped Lu Jiang from continuing to scold, and said while holding his stomach.
Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment, Ha Lu smiled, and immediately ordered someone to open a banquet to catch the wind for Li Yu and others.
During the banquet, Lu Jiang asked Li Yu about his thoughts on this trip, and Li Yu's face was deeply worried.
"This trip is to patrol the river, but I know that my father not only wants me to inspect, but also to supervise the construction of some fortifications and deal with some problems in the waters of the Yangtze River."
"Your Majesty should mean this, it's just that Your Highness the Sixth, it's not me who poured cold water on you, your ideas are very good, but some things are not as easy as you think." Lu Jiang listened to what Li Yu said, and his face was full of embarrassment.
"Oh? What's so hard about this. Li Yu saw that Lu Jiang's brows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be quite worried, so he asked.
"Your Highness Six, you are not here, you don't know much about the situation in Chizhou, and you will know after a long time, the people here are fierce, and it is not a problem to control the river, but when it comes to building fortifications, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement." Lu Jiang frowned, held the wine glass, and sighed with emotion.
"And such a thing?" Li Yu frowned and looked at Lu Jiang with some puzzlement.
"Sixth Highness, you don't know what to do, the fishermen here in the Yangtze River basin are very tough, not only known for their strength, but also for the collusion between gangs, not to mention ordinary officials, even if an army like me is dispatched, it can't really be suppressed." Lu Jiang took a deep breath, drank the wine in the wine glass, and shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Listening to Lu Jiang's words, Li Yu groaned.
This was the third time he had heard about the gang, the first two were in the capital, and the third time was in Chizhou in front of him.
The gang that I heard about the first time didn't seem to be very large, but the gang I heard about on the Qinhuai River the second time seemed to have some prestige in the capital.
However, no matter how arrogant these two are, they don't seem to be as serious as the question raised by Lu Jiang in front of them.
Relying on the Yangtze River, gathering people to pull up gangs, even with the strength of the military family, they are helpless, what a force this is.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yu's eyes flashed with essence, and he raised his voice, "The people cannot be shaken at all, and defending the country while fighting is the true character of a man, I don't believe that they will really confront the official army, General Lu, leave this matter to me Li Congjia, I will definitely pull these gangs into the army to serve." ”
