Chapter 53: Transactions (I)
In the face of Luo Shixin's contempt, Liu Min and Liu Lan also knew that they were at a loss, and they were punished like this, and they also knew that Luo Shixin's status in the Tang Dynasty was not something they could shake, and they didn't dare to be arrogant, but they just lowered their heads and made the transfer of power.
Luo Shixin saw Liu Min and Liu Lan with a sheep attitude. There was no desire to bully him, so he simply turned out of sight and turned directly to the Governor's Mansion.
Luo Shixin's Governor's Mansion was built on the edge of the Shuofang Palace, and it was naturally impossible for Luo Shixin to move in the Shuofang Palace, and it had been renamed Shuofang Palace, and the Tang Emperor might not have a chance to come for the rest of his life. But it doesn't matter if there will be an emperor to move in. Unless the palace of Liang Shidu is demolished and rebuilt, no one has the courage to live in it.
The current Governor's Mansion is actually the previous General's Mansion, and Liang Luoren surrendered the city to protect the Liang family.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not embarrass him, they kept the Liang family as he wished, and they did not embarrass the Liang family. Liang Luoren himself was awarded the title of General of the Right Xiaowei and the Duke of Shuofang County because of his meritorious service to the city, and he had moved to Chang'an to settle down. For characters like Liang Luoren, Li Tang can still accommodate them, but it is almost impossible for them to be reused. Unless there is really a talent for the world, or there is a reason that cannot be dispensed with.
Liang Luoren is obviously not such a character, and Liang Luoren himself obviously knows this and doesn't care.
The Liang family has been against the Tang Dynasty for many years, and has led the Turks to invade the Central Plains many times, which can be described as a great crime. Now that he can guarantee the bloodline of the Liang family, he is already extremely satisfied, and he doesn't think about power or anything.
The General's Mansion, where he lived, was also dedicated and used as the Governor's Mansion.
Walk into the Governor's Palace. Luo Shixin saw a different layout of the house.
The style of this place is different, and the layout of the houses in different places is also different, and Jiangnan is highly praised for its unique courtyard of the water town. And Guanzhong advocates atmosphere. Especially in Chang'an, perhaps because of the influence of the national capital, Chang'an's style is based on the atmosphere, and every house that takes great care to lay out gives people a sense of magnificence.
And this Shuofang is located outside the Great Wall, across the Central Plains grassland, is the old house simple and heroic. There are no flowers and plants in the entire Governor's Palace. However, the wooden pillars of the surrounding railings have been carved and repaired by all kinds of rare and exotic beasts. The decoration in the house is not exquisite porcelain or calligraphy and painting of celebrities, but all kinds of air-dried animal skin giant teeth, which have a unique taste.
Rothson is not averse to this style. He seemed very satisfied.
"What does the general think of this mansion? Is it borrowing for the time being, or is it building another one? Ma Zhou thought that the budget allocated by the court included the construction of the Governor's Mansion.
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have attached great importance to the façade, no matter how tight the Tang economy is. Similar to the Governor's Mansion, an important official residence related to the face of the Tang Dynasty is still relatively willing to spend money.
"Just fix it!" "There's no need to spend that unjust money. Demolished this front yard. The space is vacated to set up the necessary official offices to facilitate your government and military affairs. The backyard doesn't need to be moved, I'm usually alone, there's no need to deal with it too much, I'm not so particular about these. Keep the money that has been taken from it, and use it on the blade. As for manpower, try to hire people who are temporarily unable to make ends meet. It doesn't matter if the food is almost there, but there is a guarantee that one thing must be guaranteed. Keep them fed. ”
"My subordinates know." Ma Zhou took the order.
"That's right! The three thousand Turkic captives could not be kept in vain. I don't raise idlers, so let Xi Jun buy Yan Pei and lead 500 soldiers to escort all the Turkic captives to the fields, and let the captives sort out the dry fields in Shuofang piece by piece. The gravel and debris were picked up to facilitate the people to go to the fields and plough the land in early spring. Now the climate is not right, the fields are hard in the winter, if not, let them plow the fields is also an option. Anyway, if you look at it, Xi Jun will buy Yan Pei and the five hundred victorious troops will be handed over to you. Before the deal is concluded, let them do any tiring and dirty work, and the three thousand labors given away for nothing do not need to be used in vain. As for safety, you can rest assured. Yan Pei's guy is very murderous, and he hates the Turks to the core, and the Turks dare to make trouble, and they will definitely not be able to pass his level. ”
Ma Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly, I really don't know what kind of grudge the Turks and Luo Shixin have, and they think so thoughtfully? However, he did not refuse, this Shuofang is a remote place, not an important place located in a key area like Luoyang, Chang'an, and it is easy to develop. He intended to plan Shuofang, first build Shuofang, develop it first, and then benefit the surrounding counties and towns. Three thousand laborers, and that's what he needs now.
"But......" Roshixin worried, "are you really sure that Gorlulus Sili will send someone to make a deal with us?" In exchange for these useless captives? As far as he knew, the strength of Golulu Sili was not as strong as Ashina Congli, but it was not too far behind. The 3,000 Turkic people couldn't hurt his shin, but if he exchanged the prisoners, the initiative would not be in his hands. Waiting for him, it will be his lion's big mouth.
The opening of the lion's mouth will hurt the muscles and bones, and the Turks have never had any affection to say, and Luo Shixin has always had a certain suspicion that Gelulu Sili will obediently send someone to negotiate with them about the ransom of the captives.
Liu Renliang squinted and smiled: "For this, the general can rest assured." I have already made arrangements, and it will not be long before the messenger of Gollulus will come. Saying that, he told Luo Shixin the reason.
Luo Shixin laughed when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up to the two people, as a superior person, there are a few more capable people under him, and this efficiency has improved more than just a little bit.
It is also because of Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang's savings that Luo Shixin can rest assured that he can entrust things and devote his mind to the training of border soldiers.
In the next time, he must strictly grasp the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers.
However, before he really went into training, Luo Shixin did not forget to take the time to accompany Zheng Liwan, who had come to see him, until he got the news that the envoy of Golulu Sili asked to see him.
Hearing the news, Luo Shixin was greatly invigorated and couldn't wait to meet the messenger of Gerlulus.
Because the Governor's Mansion was being renovated, Luo Shixin was an envoy to meet in the military camp outside Shuofang City, and by the way, he showed off their military strength of the Tang Dynasty and scared the Turkic envoys.
The messenger sent by Gelulu Sili was called Chang Yi, and he was not an idle person, so he did not let the army be frightened, but there was inevitably a trace of shock in his eyes.
The entire Tang Army barracks are layered and scattered; Groups of soldiers patrolling the camp are full of spirit and order; Grain and grass were piled up like a mountain, and they were heavily guarded.
A military camp is like a fortress...... (To be continued......)
