Chapter 45 Quanzhou Shannan
After a period of rest, go back to work, the update time is a little messy in the past two days, I apologize to you, the Olympics are over, I can also rest assured that the code word, the update will be stable in the future, believe me! The time point is adjusted, the first shift is before 12:30, and the second shift is before 20:00, which is taking into account the working hours, except for two days a week, I will change in advance. )
In Quanzhou Bay, Liu Zongyuan stood in the pavilion on the mountain, and the sea breeze blowing from the vast sea carried the moisture, blowing heavily on Liu Zongyuan's body, blowing Liu Zongyuan's clothes violently. The originally gray sky quickly turned Hunan, and from time to time rain stars drifted in. There were no ships in sight on the sea, and they all hid in the harbor and collected their sails.
"Lord Thorn, go back quickly. Each of them reported that the fishermen were not bad. A typhoon is coming, so go back to your house to take shelter! ”
In March, Liu Zongyuan concurrently served as the governor of Quanzhou, in charge of both business and civil affairs, and he was indeed tired a lot, which was significantly less than when he was in Chang'an. But Liu Zongyuan didn't seem to hear it, still looking at the vast sea, when the raindrops gradually became dense, Liu Zongyuan turned around, put on his robe, and prepared to go back, before turning around, Liu Zongyuan sighed softly and said:
"I don't know what happened to Zong Xuan."
Zong Xuan is Liu Zongyuan's cousin, Liu Zongyuan was the envoy of Quanzhou City, and Liu Zongxuan followed Liu Zongyuan to Quanzhou to prepare for the establishment of the city's shipping department. In ancient times, shipbuilding was extremely troublesome, although there was no shortage of wood in Fujian, but the shipbuilding industry was not developed at this time, and in order to dry the wood, the shipbuilding cycle was extremely long. Time waits for no one, Liu Zongyuan with millions of huge funds in his hands, on the one hand, according to the four different drawings given by the emperor, recruiting and looking for skilled craftsmen to figure out how to build ships, on the other hand, in Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other places to buy goods, to buy sea ships, recruit familiar with overseas businessmen, Yin Yang Sheng (navigators) and sailors, in the end is the official identity of the city ship envoy, in less than a month, there are a few shipwrecked sea merchants cast under the city ship envoy, but also brought experienced sailors, Liu Zongyuan has inspected these people and then all accepted, These people and the people they brought with them were grouped together, divided into three large ships, led by Liu Zongxuan, carrying 5,000 stone of silk tea porcelain, and went to sea to the South Seas in February. In order to increase the insurance coefficient, Liu Zongyuan also absorbed two maritime merchants into the shares according to the emperor's requirements, why two? It's a competition.
However, it has been three months since I went to sea, and I haven't seen Liu Zongxuan come back yet, these few months, it's the season of typhoons at sea! Liu Zongyuan's heart not only remembered his mission, but also worried about Zong Xuan's safety.
The prime ministers all know the current family background of the imperial court, and they also know the embarrassment of the people's livelihood, the former Emperor Dezong is a well-known villain, asking for money and shamelessness, in addition to the normal taxes, there are other names of tribute, and he has not done anything to restore the people's livelihood for 20 years, and he is busy with money. Up and down, the officials everywhere (of course, under the rule of the imperial court) tried their best to loot and honor the emperor, and at the same time comfort themselves, can the common people have a better life? And the honest and capable officials are basically degraded, the villain has been in power for more than ten years, and it is really not a matter of one or two years to build a harmonious society anyway, Du Huangshang said to the emperor:
"If you have to do it as a last resort, don't raise troops within two years."
Thinking that one of his patients had to wipe the butt of the father he had never met, Li Yu was indignant in his heart, but anger was anger, and what should be done still had to be done. Li Shigu finally died of illness in the leap month of the first year of Yongzhen as scheduled, and said to Gao Mu and Li Gongdu before his death:
"While I'm still conscious now, let me ask you two, after I die, who do you plan to support as the commander?"
Gao Mu and Li Gongdu were silent, and Li Shigu sighed:
"I'm afraid it's a teacher, right? The crowd is warm and cold, who wants to treat their brothers and brothers and treat others well? It's just that I think that if I support non-people, I will not only corrupt the military and government, but also bring down my clan. Shidao I can't be clearer, as a prince and grandson, if you don't study the training of soldiers and govern seriously, you think you can learn villains all day long, where can you be a town marshal? I hope that the two of you will consider my clan, but it really can't work, so I will choose one of the two of you! ”
The words frightened the two of them to their knees in a hurry, and Li Shigu's cold gaze slid over the top of their heads, and their chests rose and fell for a while, and they fainted.
After Li Shigu's death, Gao Mu and Li Gongdu really kept it secret, and sent someone to sneak to Mizhou to pick up Li Shidao, supported Li Shidao as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and easily got rid of several generals who did not deal with him. After the support, Li Shidao excitedly played with the instrument, as for the letter to ask the court to admit and give a name, isn't there Gao and Li?
According to Lu Zhen's suggestion, Li Yu pressed the seal sent by Ziqing to see if there would be any changes within Ziqing, and turned his head to deal with the problem from Yu. Although Yu Di bullied his superiors and subordinates, he also knew that he had a good reputation as an official, so he was very polite to scholars, and polite was a bit excessive. Fu Zai lived in seclusion in Lushan before he came out, and begged Yu Di for millions of dollars to buy a mountain, and Yu Di also gave it to him happily, and Han Yu also sent a letter to ask him to invoke. After Liu Pi hung up, Fu was loaded into the court. Li Yu took the opportunity to order Li Xun, who had recommended Fu Zai as an official, to suggest that Fu Zai write a letter to Yu Di and Lala's home. Yu Di, who was afraid in his heart, was really moved, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity of everyone to enter the court.
After Liu Pi hung up, the envoys of the festival degrees from all over the country wrote to denounce the dead Liu Pi, and at the same time expressed their loyalty to the emperor, asking for the court (to enter the court to see the driver), and some directly expressed their willingness to enter the court (give up military power), the most positive is Pei Jun, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, and Li Qi, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, both of whom are top-notch figures in the Dezong villain group.
Pei Jun once worshiped the former lieutenant of the Shence Army, and the eunuch leader Dou Wenchang was the god of Laozi, relying on Dou Wenchang's promotion to do a high position, so it was an instant match with Ju Wenzhen, and he was one of the members of the book to ask to kill Wang Shuwen, after Ju Wenzhen was killed, Yan Shou was frightened, Pei Jun was almost white-headed overnight, after Liu Pi was captured and killed, Pei Jun, who could no longer sit still, wrote to the court for the first time and asked to enter the court, Li Yu of course happily agreed, and the right Deyu sent to replace him is estimated to have now arrived in Xiangzhou, the capital of Shannan East Province.
And Li Qi is even worse than Pei Junlai, and Li Shi, the king of Taoism, can be called the leader among the hooligans in the clan and the champion among the scum. Like Li Shi, Li Qi's specialty is to swoop the people to flatter the emperor and enrich himself. At first, some officials reported Li Qi for illegality and cruelty to the people, but he was tied up by Dezong and sent to Li Qi for disposal, Li Qi dug a pit, and as soon as the people arrived, they were buried alive directly, and the cruelty was not lost to Tian Ji'an, an expert who was buried alive. After Li Shi was deposed, according to Wang Shuwen's suggestion, he set up a town navy, raised Li Qi from the position of a transshipment envoy, and deprived him of his financial rights in disguise.
After managing the money for so many years, Li Qi's heart has become as fat as his net worth, but he is fat and a little empty, so Liu Piyi was suppressed, and Li Qi, who knew his status in the emperor's heart, also quickly wrote a letter to ask to enter the court.
