059 Steal the show
It is inappropriate to ask the princess's name without permission, and God knows if it will cause any trouble.
Xu Huabiao naturally will not be idle and bored to find this kind of thing for himself.
If you don't know, you don't know.
There's always a chance to know anyway.
The reason why Xu Huabiao thought so was because this princess "made the decision" and arranged Xu Huabiao to live in the Luoyang Taishou Mansion.
Piggyback on Xu Huabiao's two "followers".
When introducing the princess, Xu Huabiao said that Li Yunxi was his "maid", and Li Duoxi was his "staff".
There is a difference in status.
And after this princess learned that Li Yunxi was the daughter of the former General Li Zhonglang, and finally escaped Jin Jidong's liquidation under the protection of Xu Huabiao, she really believed that he was a person loyal to the country.
As for why the talented women are willing to be Xu Huabiao's "maids" and don't even get mixed up in the "concubine room", it's not what they would say in front of Xu Huabiao.
Of course, for Li Yunxi, Xu Huabiao still trusts.
After all, it doesn't do her any good to hurt herself......
And Li Duoxi took the initiative to take on the work in line with her "staff" identity, and the day after entering the Luoyang Taishou Mansion, she began to follow Xu Zhuxian to get busy with business.
After all, when Jiang Hudong evacuated, Luoyang basically had nothing left, and he was almost poor and white from scratch.
And to pull out a city guard army in this situation, how easy is it!
Food, equipment, these are all money!
Although Li Duoxi brought some money, let alone herself, even Xu Huabiao didn't agree with her smashing it all in.
In a city as big as Luoyang, if you can't be self-sufficient, then don't mix it up.
Therefore, the first thing Li Duoxi has to do is not to throw the money out and recruit the soldiers back, but to assist Xu Zhuxian and straighten out the tax matters first.
With hematopoietic function, let's talk about good health.
It's not easy, and it's busy!
And Xu Huabiao himself did not stay in the Taishou Mansion without seeing the sky.
"Lord Taishou, it's been measured. It's just that...... What are we going to do? ”
The soldiers trotted all the way to Xu Huabiao.
Xu Huabiao struggled to sit on a small pony, writing things on the ground with a wooden stick.
"How's the water dredging?"
"It's still being done over there, and it should be done this afternoon."
"Well, that's good." Xu Huabiao dropped the wooden stick in his hand and clapped his hands, "Starting tomorrow, you can recruit soldiers." ”
“…… What the hell are we going to do! ”
"Let you measure again, and let you dredge the water source, you still don't understand?" Xu Huabiao looked disdainful, "Farming!" ”
“…… My lord, this is the Imperial Palace!! ”
"Then tell me, where is the palace? Where is the temple? Xu Huabiao spread his hands.
“……”
"Such a large piece of land, burned clean, full of plant ash, just around the fence, there is a water source, just suitable for farming, don't waste too much!"
"What plant ash ......"
"It doesn't matter! Well, I'll do it anyway, even if Your Majesty cuts off your head in the future, I won't be able to cut off your head! Xu Huabiao glared at the soldiers, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and clean up the stone paved area." If you don't finish it after three days...... Your heads are really not safe! ”
“…… Yes, sir. ”
The soldier ran away a little speechless.
Xu Huabiao stretched out his feet and covered everything he had just pulled with soil.
Then humming softly, he walked all the way out of Miyagi.
And at the gate of the palace, he saw Her Royal Highness the princess who rushed over.
"I heard, Taishou-sama, you want to farm in Miyagi?"
The princess's face was even worse than when she heard that Kim Jidong was planning to change the emperor again.
"Oh, what else? It's not easy to find such a large area in the city. ”
“…… You're insulting the royal legacy! ”
"Then you rely on the royal system to support the city guards?"
"Big can ...... outside the city"
"Out of town? When the homeless people and the homeless robbers come to grab food, can you protect it? Xu Huabiao glanced at Her Royal Highness the Princess, "In case Luoyang is besieged, you will collect the grain outside?" ”
"That can't ...... either"
"In the city, the palace is rebuilt on the place of the mansions of the nobles." Xu Huabiao interrupted the princess's words, "Those places were originally too small, and it was easy to rebuild, the palace is all white, how much copper money do you want to rebuild?" Are you out? ”
“……”
"Although His Majesty is definitely coming to Luoyang, God knows when he will come. Until then, we'll have to prepare the city guards. That's the priority! ”
"But ......"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you feel sorry for yourself when you are idle, you can also go and help." Xu Huabiao glanced behind him, "When I asked people to clean up this morning, I found a hidden cellar. There were a lot of utensils that were probably used by the people of the palace, and perhaps because they were old or for some other reason, they were left in the cellar to be dusted. You go and help sort it out and see which of them are probably for His Majesty and which are for other people...... In the future, when His Majesty returns, there is a saying that we will be able to save a lot of money. ”
“…… Want to use the old one? ”
"It would be nice to have it! How much copper does a royal toilet cost? Xu Huabiao complained.
Be quiet.
"There's no way I'm going to do this as a princess." Her Royal Highness seems to have resigned herself to her fate.
Because what Xu Huabiao said is really reasonable.
"Then you pretend to be my staff."
“……”
"If you want to be embarrassed, go back to the Taishou Mansion and stay." Xu Huabiao was a little impatient.
"Presumptuous! How do you speak! ”
"Then Your Royal Highness the princess, you drive me away, I will definitely not stay." Xu Huabiao waved his hand and walked out of the palace city by himself.
……
"Childe, what did you say to the princess today? She came to me in such a angry way just now that she lost her temper. ”
That night, in the Taishou Mansion.
Li Yunxi whispered to Xu Huabiao, who was sitting in the room, holding a roll of bamboo slips and looking at it.
It seems a bit whiny.
"You don't have to pay attention to her. I'm trying to get her out and do something. Xu Huabiao still looked at the bamboo slip calmly.
"Huh? Provoke her? ”
"Yes! What I'm doing now is enough to wipe out my family. Xu Hua Biaoyun said the thrilling words lightly, "If no princess comes out to take the blame, we will all die." ”
“…… If you know that you will destroy your family, don't go to the palace to farm! ”
"Then you can find me a place in Luoyang City where there is no owner and I can still farm!" Xu Huabiao put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
"This ...... It doesn't have to be planted in Luoyang City! ”
"Outside? Passing robbers can burn you clean. Xu Huabiao snorted, "In Luoyang City, there is nothing more suitable than the palace." ”
"But even if you take the palace to farm, where can you find so many people to plant for you?"
"It's easy! and the city guards they recruited. ”
“…… So are you recruiting a farmer or a defender? ”
"Defend the city and farm, this ......" Xu Huabiao smiled, "It's called Tuntian." ”
"What's the matter with the princess? I heard her say that you want her to clean up the waste in the palace cellar? ”
"Yes, even if it's just to move the things in Miyagi out casually, I want that." Xu Huabiao said lightly, "She has to do it." In this way, even if I am held accountable in the future, I will have something to say. ”
“…… You forged the emperor's edict before, and it was enough to cut off your head. ”
"That's why I need the city guards who are loyal to me!" Xu Huabiao said lightly, "With such an army here, even if the emperor comes to Luoyang in the future, he can't just cut off my head." ”
"I see!" Li Yunxi finally understood, "You let those people go into the palace to farm, so that they can only listen to you!" ”
"Clever!" Xu Huabiao smiled. "Otherwise, if it goes on like this, when the Son of Heaven really comes to Luoyang, I will be kicked away by Her Royal Highness our princess. When the time comes, there is no place to cry. ”
"But you are like this, what is the difference between you and Jiang Hudong?"
"The difference is big." Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "Jiang Hudong, the one who called the Son of Heaven to order the princes." I'm ...... Let the Son of Heaven order not to obey. ”
