Shiyan, who throws iron balls, for modern people, even elementary school students already know that weight does not represent the speed of landing.

Before the iron ball fell to Shiyan, Wu Cao received a reply from Li Yuanxing.

Especially when he saw that jade pendant, Wu Cao felt the strong support of Li Yuanxing.

It doesn't matter what the iron ball is, but the knowledge that matters, and the belief that practice is the truth.

As expected, the two iron balls landed at the same time, shiyan three times in a row, and the result was still the same. Lu Chengqing had a deep understanding, and wrote a letter about doubt and practice on the same day, and sent it to the Qin Palace, Tianying Pavilion, and specially gave the Tang Emperor a record.

Because it is not official business, Li Er is afraid that he will have a chance to see it when he is free.

Li Yuanxing's Jihua to Chang'an was unexpectedly canceled.

Cui Dunli held a hundred watch seals, just seeing the number of watch seals, Li Yuanxing's first reaction was, there is trouble!

Sitting in the small living room, Cui Dunli didn't say what the watch seal was, but just pushed the watch seal in front of Li Yuanxing, and divided it into six piles, each pile had an extra note next to it, which seemed to be written by Cui Dunli himself.

Li Yuanxing's hand had already reached for the note, and after hesitation, he directly picked up the watch seal.

"This is a refusal, Hedongdao is unwilling to pay for this king to help them face the locust plague." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he put it down, then opened another pile of books, looked at it and said: "The locust plague is a natural disaster, how can it be done by manpower." Chang'an, where His Royal Highness King Qin is located, is naturally unharmed, but Hebei Province is powerless to fight against natural disasters. ”

Cui Dunli looked at it expressionlessly, listening to Li Yuanxing reading the seal by himself.

In a word. These more than 100 seals are all refusal to prevent locust plagues.

After reading it, Li Yuanxing said to Cui Dunli: "Your heart is upset, judging from the five notes you wrote, you didn't see the essence of this matter. ”

"Please advise Your Highness!"

"First, they're afraid. As it is written in these seals, the locust plague is a natural disaster, a punishment from heaven on earth, and it is what they are afraid of when man fights against heaven. The king does not blame them, for they are ignorant. But the king will still save them, and he will talk about how to save them later! ”

Li Yuanxing said this. Cui Dunli also said: "Your Highness." They are also afraid of rebellion! ”

"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, have they ever made a mess?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Yes, there have been in Liangzhou. Seven women were humiliated and forty-one shops were damaged. A wealthy family was framed for colluding with King Changle. No one was injured in the house. But he took out 20,000 yuan! Cui Dunli's words turned Li Yuanxing's face pale when he said it on the spot.

Cui Dunli didn't seem to notice Li Yuanxing's face.

"Your Highness, Li Daozong knows, and he lost 16,000 yuan of the 20,000 yuan. Of this money, 4,000 guan actually fell into the Qin Palace. You can check the accounts, his last first month's Yantian profits, Yantian is your design, how quickly can the salt be released, what month will definitely not be salt, you must be clear! ”

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, but he was thinking about the information about Li Daozong.

Li Yuanxing remembered that in the original history, Li Daozong was demoted for corruption in the 12th year of Zhenguan.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "If the water is clear, there are no fish!" ”

"Your Highness has some reasonable words, but Your Majesty also has a sentence. The guards of the Qin Palace's mansion would never commit such a thing, not because of military regulations, but because they didn't need it! ”

"Go on!"

Li Yuanxing became interested and motioned for Cui Dunli to sit down: "I'll chat with you today, no matter what you say!" ”

This is the second time that Li Yuanxing has stopped calling himself the king.

Cui Dunli noticed this change, sat on the chair under Li Yuanxing with his hand, and then pointed at Lu Maofeng: "Vice General Lu will talk about it, let His Highness listen to it!" ”

"I said, won't you be beaten?"

"!" Li Yuanxing scolded with a smile.

"Cheng, then say. If I'm cold, I'm going to grab it. And more to grab. Otherwise I wouldn't have lived! ”

Lu Maofeng's words aroused Li Yuanxing's interest and motioned for Lu Maofeng to continue.

"Your Highness, General Li has brought five hundred personal guards, this is his general. Can these people die for him in vain, definitely not, and they will be rewarded afterwards. He asked Fengzhou to borrow troops, and he calculated the money and grain, and the reward for the troops. Therefore, I think that the rich man must be done! ”

Li Yuanxing nodded, it was not the first day he had studied history.

These questions, when he thinks about it now, are also reasonable. The soldiers of Toyosu can't help you fight for no reason.

In the modern era of later generations, if you ask people to fight, you must have a hard-earned money, and then invite people to drink and eat.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing also understood: "Copying the silver money of King Changle, he doesn't dare to move a penny, this is to be handed over to the treasury, playing tricks on this, my imperial brother will be unhappy!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Cui Dunli chimed in.

"Besides, the insult to a few women, this thing is a bad thing for him to carry it, His Highness believes in a certain kind, there is always a principle, a slap does not make a sound. As long as the soldiers eat food, as long as the soldiers are not defeated and become chaotic soldiers, they will not be able to do the humiliating things that break into the door. At most, I didn't settle the bill with the dark hall! ”

Hearing Lu Maofeng say this, Li Yuanxing smiled.

Then he asked, "What about the damaged shop, what do you say?" ”

"There is no Liangzhou, it's all a guess."

"Just say it!" Li Yuanxing urged again.

"Half of this matter may have been done by the escaped sergeants in Liangzhou, and the other half was broken in while chasing people and did some easily. zuihou, there are a few hands and feet that are not clean, and it is normal! ”

Lu Maofeng's explanation, Li Yuanxing listened very satisfied.

Cui Dunli was also very satisfied, because Lu Maofeng had followed Li Yuanxing for a long time, and he knew what to say to what extent, and what to say from a different angle. Even if it's all the truth, there is such a clever story.

"Then, why aren't the guards of the Qin Palace's chaotic?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

"Your Highness, it's still the same sentence, it's not about military regulations. There is a strict order in the saint, and there are military regulations in the army of three killings, seven beheadings, eighteen sticks and thirty-six whips, saying that the military regulations should be used to hit thousands of sticks in Liangzhou, and it is nothing to cut off a few heads, but it is to be cut off heads, beaten with sticks, and what you want to do, you still have to do. ”

Lu Maofeng's words, Li Yuanxing heard the taste, and he was probably about to say something.

In front of Li Yuanxing, Lu Maofeng didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said directly: "Your Highness, it's a military salary." ”

"This king understands!"

If you can't feed your wife and children as a soldier, who will give you your life. Who will give you the rules to abide by the military rules?

"If you are bold again, Your Highness will beat me next, so lightly!" Lu Maofeng was poor, and without waiting for Li Yuanxing to urge, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the matter of Luoyang, the right military guard sent troops. The grain they eat from our Qin Wangfu is the salary of the Qin Wangfu. And His Royal Highness has a great favor to the right guard. So even if they are bitter and hungry, they will not mess around. After that, the eighteen old people carried the coffin, and the hearts of the soldiers were also long, and the matter came to this, no matter how bitter they were this time, they would not touch the people of Luoyang for a penny, and in the future, the soldiers of the right military guard in Luoyang would also be very honest! ”

"It's the soldiers of the Guards who are carrying it!" Li Yuanxing sighed with emotion.

Cui Dunli said at this time: "The guards of the Qin Palace, from the twelve guards!" ”

Li Yuanxing patted his forehead lightly, having a little headache.

The law is not the public, not to mention that it is a helpless move, try to ask yourself what to do if you change to Li Daozong's point of view?

You can use your face to beg someone to do something and help you once. So what about next time, the soldiers of Fengzhou have not fallen to the slightest benefit, will they help you next time?

Li Yuanxing is not a pure moral gentleman, he is a real person.

"Your Highness, the states and counties are reluctant to fight the locust plague in advance, and one of the reasons is that they can't come up with so much money. And they can't be like Huazhou, there is a household advance, and after the harvest is slowly repaid, so this is also a reason for refusal! ”

After hearing this, Li Yuanxing understood in his heart that in fact, whether it was a soldier or a citizen, it was because of poverty!

"Lao Cui, you write a letter to Li Daozong and tell him about the money in Yantian, and the king originally promised him some money, so that he can use it freely. Now tell him that more than half of it. In addition to his soldiers, he also fed Li Xiaogong's soldiers in Qingzhou, and then gave Lao Cheng some salt. ”

After listening to Li Yuanxing's instructions, Cui Dunli immediately understood.

"What does Your Highness mean, strict military regulations?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically.

Cui Dunli lowered his head and thought about it, nodded, and shook his head again: "Your Highness, let your subordinates think about this matter, if Your Highness allows it, your subordinates want to communicate with all the generals who are guarding the Qin Palace." His Majesty thought that there was wool and milk powder in the north. Soon there was cotton in the northwest, mountain goods and trade in the northeast, and salt in the east. The money is enough, but the difference is one degree. ”

"Are you afraid that they will take the opportunity to break the rules?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically.

"Your Highness, this is one of them. Another point is what the town guard generals outside the Qin Palace's mansion will think. The third is, what will the twelve guards think. Cui Dunli said very directly, without going around in circles.

Li Yuanxing understood, this matter is not a trivial matter, nor is it a simple matter.

"Thank you for your hard work. You still have to worry about the finishing touches of the steel mill. Regarding the plague of locusts, King Rong thought again. Li Yuanxing suddenly discovered that the hidden dangers of many things in Datang began to emerge.

"This is what your subordinates should do, and your subordinates will first go to discuss with Wei Changshi." Cui Dunli gave a respectful salute.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "If necessary, the military salary of the Twelve Guards will be made up by the Qin Palace." But first of all, you have to pay enough money from the household department, and you can't let go of these stingy guys in the household department! ”

Cui Dunli smiled, gave a salute and stepped back.

Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng again: "Run an errand for this king and tell those little guys in the Staff Academy." Their business is postponed! (To be continued......)
