Volume 3 Chapter 305 The storm rises again, and Chang'an is a laughing stock.
Zhenguan for six years.
End of September.
The autumn breeze mixed with a little coolness is coming unexpectedly, which also indicates that a new round of cold winter is coming in the near future.
No one knows what this year's winter will be like.
No one even knows if this damn god is willing to let everyone go.
When the slightly chilly autumn wind blew, everyone couldn't help but worry.
Years of snow disasters have really made them suffer enough.
If it's the same as in previous years, it's not a question of whether you can survive this winter, but what about the next year?
Ordinary people are worried about their livelihoods.
Unlike them is Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian is actually not worried about how to survive the winter, and he is not even worried about how to deal with it in the coming year.
On the contrary, he also hopes that this year's snow will be bigger, the bigger the better!
In this way, it is impossible for Tuyuhun to recover in a short period of time, and even face greater losses.
Anyway, his Ming court is fully prepared.
What was he worried about?
Compared to Murong Fuyun, his pressure is much less.
Now the Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 300,000 people, and cattle, sheep and livestock are almost dead.
On the other hand, Murong Fuyun, how much pressure he has!
To put it simply, Li Chengqian has one mind, the dead friend is not the poor one.
If Murong Fuyun really wants to recover his vitality, he will definitely find a way to recover the Chishui source, which is inevitable.
And a few days before the beginning of winter, Li Chengqian found Yi Yuanxi.
"Ishangshu, how's the progress of the cities?" Li Chengqian asked.
Ihara Xi raised his head and said, "Back to Your Highness, the construction goals of each city have been achieved ahead of schedule.
After all, working on our construction site can support the family, in addition to those men in the prime of life, even those women and children are also actively involved, everyone is worried that this winter will not be good, so there is more opportunity to accumulate some food, everyone is not willing to miss.
Even the clansmen of the Tiele tribe were like this, and at this point, the entire Ming royal court almost reached an unprecedented unanimity.
Moreover, the officers and men of all armies have also made a lot of efforts in this large-scale construction.
It is expected that before the first heavy snowfall, the foundation outline of the fifteen cities of Daming can be completed.
Of course, it may take some time for the houses to be built in the city."
Speaking of this, Ihara Seok was a little proud.
The fifteen cities of the Ming Dynasty are almost all from his hands, and when the fifteen cities are completely completed, he is also considered to be famous, and it is destined to be passed down through the ages.
Li Chengqian nodded, he was not surprised by such progress.
When hundreds of thousands of people work in the same direction, the results are bound to be remarkable.
Moreover, the people of these years are sincere, for fear that their work will be sorry for the food he takes, and they are also working hard.
Of course, the same cannot be said, the reason why they work honestly is that they don't want to miss such an opportunity.
After all, on the grassland today, Li Chengqian is willing to give them a job to support their families, who dares not to cherish it?
After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian called Puxiruo again.
"Pu Shangshu, how much food is left in the household department now?" Li Chengqian asked.
….
When Pu Xiru heard this, he smiled and said, "Back to Your Highness, because of the recent trade with the Western Turks, Subi, Dohe County, and Tuyuhun tribes, the household department has at least 20,000 stone of grain in the Changming grain shops in each city, and there is a grain reserve of more than 200,000 stone in the Sun Moon Mountain.
And as trade continues, food reserves will only increase.
Even if it is the beginning of spring next year, the entire Ming royal court will have no worries about food."
Li Chengqian nodded.
As long as there is no food crisis, the Ming court will not be in chaos.
There's no way, the people's requirements are so low these days,
You can eat a full stomach.
As long as they are fed, then you, the monarch, must be regarded as a wise monarch.
At least in the hearts of the vast majority of ordinary people, this is the case.
"Do you think there will be a snow storm this winter?" Li Chengqian asked.
This is his primary concern.
In fact, he is also a little entangled.
He did hope that a snow disaster would completely destroy Tuyuhun's recovery, but it would be a natural disaster after all, who could control it?
Speaking of this, both Ihara and Pu Xiru shook their heads.
"Your Highness, it's hard to say." Ihara Xi said, "But Weichen thinks that even if there is a snow disaster this year, it should not be as serious as in previous years."
This is an empirical statement, but it is also a fact.
Historically, the snow disaster in Tuyuhun has also begun to slowly improve this year.
Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "No matter what the market is this year, we must not relax our preparations.
Pu Shangshu, if you go back and count the cold materials we currently have, including return stoves, gloves, and cloaks, how much are there now, and how much is the daily output.
Yishangshu, you also have to count how much coal we have mined, and how much we can mine every day.
For these details, we must be aware of them.
Even if we encounter a snow disaster that is more serious than in previous years, we must be absolutely sure to lead the people of the Ming Dynasty to get through it, understand?"
"Wechen understands." The two of them immediately got up and said.
Li Chengqian said, "Go get busy."
……
When Li Chengqian was preparing for the winter, Tuguhun and ambushed the city.
Murong Fuyun said with an indignant face, "This Li Chengqian is really shameless! He still has the face to ask Ben Khan for a dowry!"
In the king's tent, the people shook their heads and were speechless.
What are you kidding, isn't this our old basic exercise?
Is this taking our way, leaving us with no way out?
"If you want me to say, just wave your troops south, even a little Li Chengqian dares to humiliate his father Khan, and the crime is extremely heinous!" Dayan Mangjie said with an indignant face.
For Li Chengqian, he really hated it.
First, it was Li Chengqian who gave him unspeakable humiliation.
Second, Li Chengqian robbed his woman.
With these two items in mind, he and Li Chengqian no longer had any room for relaxation.
Murong Fuyun naturally knew what his son was thinking, since Murong Wanqiu fell into the hands of Li Chengqian, he was like losing his soul.
If you can fight, do you still need to say it?
"Great Khan, what about now?" Someone asked.
Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "Since he wants it, then give it, there is no food, but some flashy things, can't Ben Khan make some for him?"
….
No matter how you say that Tuyuhun has a history of hundreds of years, and its heritage is profound, it is really not covered.
"Give and give." The new state minister, Tuoba Zhao, the king of the West Sea, said, "When the former Sui gave it to us, it was because we respected the former Sui as the superior state of the Heavenly Empire, and now it will be given to the Ming Dynasty, hehe......
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
This is true.
Giving and receiving, that identity is different.
After he said this, everyone's mood immediately improved.
Only Dayan Mang's face was gloomy.
As everyone dispersed, Murong Fuyun asked, "How profitable is the trade between Doohe County and Daming this time?"
"It's a lot of profit, but it's not clear how much it is." After he finished speaking, someone behind him whispered.
Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "Should I say it or not, those things that Li Chengqian tossed out are quite fresh, and I heard that they are selling well among the noble class of my Tuyuhun now."
Speaking of this, Murong Fuyun's face suddenly changed, "But because of this, my Tuguhun grain has also been lost
Quite a few, those nobles, even for the sake of profit, gave food to Li Chengqian, don't they know that this is the enemy!"
As long as he thought of this, Murong Fuyun was furious.
But he didn't have a better way.
In the final analysis, Tuyuhun is still a tribal system, and he really can't control how the heads of each department handle the grain of each department.
After all, the ministries were also dedicated to him in a certain proportion.
The rest, that's someone's private property, what can he do?
If he dares to fight the idea of those grains, then he doesn't need Li Chengqian or Datang to clean him up, and his subordinates will let him go around without food.
That's the reality.
In other words, this is the inevitable result of interest groups becoming bigger.
But when he thought of the steady flow of food into the Ming Dynasty every day, his heart was dripping blood.
"Great Khan, or we ......," said the man behind him, wiping his neck.
Murong Fuyun shook his head and said, "It's not suitable for the time being, if you really want to push these guys into a hurry, they don't have the consciousness of the Heavenly Pillar King.
King of the Heavenly Pillars, although he has such and such problems, there is one thing to say, he really has a heart for Tuyuhun, and for Tuyuhun, he has no selfish heart."
At this moment, Murong Fuyun remembered that the Heavenly Pillar King was coming.
Should I say it or not, the Heavenly Pillar King really gave everything for Tuyuhun, including his life.
Compared with the Heavenly Pillar King, the West Sea King is not half a star.
If it weren't for the fact that he was wary of Murong Xiaojun, Murong Xiaojun would be much stronger than the King of the West Sea.
"Then we will watch the grain flow to the Ming Dynasty?" The cronies behind him asked.
Murong Fuyun smiled coldly: "Don't be so troublesome, since this time the peace with the Ming Dynasty is unavoidable, then simply give King Gaochang another big gift."
It was decreed that from now on, the special Douhe County was set up as a trade ground between Tuyuhun and the Ming Dynasty, and the king of Gaochang was the trade envoy of Tuyuhun, and at the same time, the king of Gaochang was strictly ordered to carry out a strict pursuit of all trade that did not pass through the field.
By the way, let's all keep a low profile at Chishuiyuan now."
After speaking, Murong Fuyun closed his eyes.
….
It is also a little inappropriate for so many people to offend Ben Khan.
Then let Murong Xiaojun offend.
On the one hand, it can solve the problem of those guys secretly giving food to Li Chengqian, and on the other hand, it can also test how loyal Murong Xiaojun is to himself in the end.
For him, it's a double win.
Soon, the order reached Dohe County.
When Murong Xiaojun heard this order, his brows furrowed slightly.
He doesn't like the sneaky guys behind his back, though.
But Murong Fuyun gave this order, but he didn't have a good heart.
No matter what, a corpse can't run away from a vegetarian meal.
But if you take care of it, there will be many people who will be offended.
The point is, the big guys all saw that he made money by pouring Hejun, but as a result, you made money, big fish and big meat, and you didn't even let us drink the soup?
However, Murong Xiaojun didn't dwell on it for too long.
He is such a person, since the Great Khan has given the order, then he is ordered to do it.
Besides, he also disdains the behavior of those guys, although he made a lot of money by watering River County, he also paid a lot of business taxes to Tuyuhun.
Those guys came secretly and secretly, and they still harmed Tuyuhun's interests.
On the same day, Douhe County announced that from now on, on the orders of the Great Khan, the trade smuggling between Tuyuhun and the Ming Dynasty will be strictly investigated!
As a result, the entire Watering River County began to be chaotic again.
And just when Doihe County was vigorously investigating smuggling, those people from the Shi clan finally returned to Chang'an.
When I went, I was majestic and high-spirited, scolding Fang Xuan, who is not the future pillar of the Ming Dynasty?
Result back
When they came, they were all depressed and depressed, who still had the same style as before?
What really makes them like this is not that they are not capable of doing something, but that they don't even have the opportunity to prove themselves! That's what makes it most difficult for them to accept.
This is the same as those lowly people in the Tang Dynasty, maybe some of them have the talent of the world, but so what? A lowly status limits his height.
Because of his lowly status, he didn't even have a chance.
And their treatment in the Ming Dynasty is like a lowly status.
How can this not annoy them, how not to be angry?
But what about their annoyance? What about anger?
You are not welcome in the Ming Dynasty!
That's just the way it is.
Do you really want to say that there is not a single one of them who can be made out of the hundreds?
Not necessarily.
Even if there is no great talent among them, so what?
After all, their initial idea was right, the Ming court was short of people.
Really lacking ......
From the moment they stepped into Chang'an City, they were destined to become the jokes of Chang'an City.
Many people know how difficult and humiliating these guys have been.
But not many people sympathize with them.
You do the first year of junior high school, and he does the fifteenth, it's not that he doesn't report, the time has not yet come.
Li Chengqian made good use of his advantages and slapped a big ear shave on the face of the scholars.
When Li Er learned the news, the whole person was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, he had suffered from the gentry clan for so many years, but he didn't expect his son to avenge him for this arrow, how could it be a cool word!
….
If it weren't for the identity of the emperor, Li Er would have been eager to invite his ministers to a banquet.
But even so, Li Er still held a rare family banquet in the harem.
There are famous concubines, princes and princesses, including Li Daozong, who are members of the royal family, and they are all right.
He just wants to tell everyone that today, he's happy!
At the banquet, Empress Changsun asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, why did the scholars let them go back to Chang'an? Isn't this a clear shame to come back?"
Speaking of this, Li Er snorted coldly and said, "His heart can be punished!"
He naturally knew what the purpose of the scholar clan was doing this, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his heart could be punished.
The eldest grandson actually guessed it, so he was worried, and when he heard the words, he also sighed.
Seeing this, Li Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Shi clan didn't take advantage this time, but it was just a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses.
Gao Ming, this child, still knows it in his heart.
And judging from his actions, he already knows where the shortcomings of the dynasty come from, which is a good thing."
Li Er is really not too worried about this problem.
"Your Majesty, Ke'er's age is not too young, shouldn't it be enough?" At the banquet, Concubine Yang asked in a low voice.
As a mother, this question shouldn't have been asked by her, but she asked it anyway.
When Li Er heard this, he was about to speak, but Empress Eldest Sun said, "Ke'er is only so old, don't be in a hurry, at least wait until you get married."
If it was in the past, the eldest grandson would naturally wish that these children would die as soon as possible, but now it is different.
Li Chengqian is not in Chang'an, but the position of the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, so she hopes that these children will stay in front of her eyes.
If it really happened, she would be a little beyond her reach.
Moreover, although Li Chengqian's success is difficult to replicate in the eyes of everyone.
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.
That's fine now.
Moreover, Concubine Yang's words were not intended to let Li Ke give up, and she was reluctant.
It's nothing more than the attitude of two people.
When Li Er heard this, he smiled: "The queen is right, Ke'er is still young, so don't be in a hurry."
"Then it will be up to Your Majesty and the Empress." Concubine Yang said with a smile.
……
Outside the palace, Wei Zheng's house.
Kong Yingda had been waiting for Wei Zheng for half an hour.
When Wei Zheng finished his work in the study, he slowly walked out.
"I said, Duke Wei, why can you still walk around so leisurely? It's going to be a ruckus out there." As soon as Kong Yingda saw Wei Zheng, he said.
Wei Zheng smiled: "You are in a hurry to find the old man, just for that little thing outside?"
"What else?" Kong Yingda hurriedly said, "What do these people from the Cui family want to do? As soon as they tossed like this, the readers were about to become a laughing stock!
Today, Guozijian, there are still students who put forward the theory that reading is useless, and what is the use of reading thousands of books, in the end, it is not that there is no way to serve the country, it is better to be a businessman, and if you are lucky, you can still move forward.
This Wang Dequan is a living example!
I heard that today, many people went to Changming Restaurant to find Wang Dequan, and wanted to do a miscellaneous job in Changming Restaurant.
….
In the end, Kong Yingda also shook his head and was speechless.
However, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It's just a counterattack from the Cui family and others, but I didn't expect them to come so ruthlessly?"
"What do you think they're trying to do? Isn't this a shame on oneself?" Kong Yingda didn't understand a little, he was the secretary of the Guozijian and did this job, so he was also a headache at this time.
If the students of Guozijian would rather go to Changming Restaurant as a handyman than go to school again, then he, the director of Guozijian, would have done his job.
"What do you want to do?" Wei Zheng smiled, "Okay, don't worry about it, what does other people's fighting methods have to do with you, just worry about it."
Don't worry, Wang Dequan knows how to measure, and he won't embarrass you, let alone embarrass His Royal Highness, in the final analysis, it's just that those people in the Cui family want to bury a nail for King Ming.
It's just that it's hard to say who this nail will end up rolling in."
Kong Yingda is an old pedant and doesn't know much about the curves and curves in this.
But Wei Zheng understood, and immediately comforted him.
This matter really has nothing to do with him Kong Yingda, it's just the fighting method of the Shi clan and Li Chengqian.
Of course, it was not just a fight with Li Chengqian, this time, the Shi clan was also full of firepower, and the attack was almost indiscriminate.
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief.
On Fang Xuanling's mansion, Fang Xuanling sneered.
The scholars thought that this would be able to hit the culture and education they had just revitalized?
It's a fool's dream.
If you really have the ability, your scholar clan will not go to school from now on, and then you may be able to hit the newly revitalized culture and education.
As a result, you eat yourself with a mouth full of oil, but you tell others, this meat is not delicious, or is it comfortable to eat bran vegetables? Who are you fooling?
Feelings: The smart people in the world are all in your clan?
Those who can be fooled are either fools or can't get up in the mud. Who really has a brain, who doesn't know that eating meat is more fragrant than eating bran vegetables!
Therefore, Fang Xuanling was not worried at all.
At the same time, it was still the Cui family.
The chiefs of the nobles did not return.
This time, it was their decision to go back to Chang'an directly.
Li Chengqian did the first year of junior high school, and they did the fifteenth, which in their opinion, there is nothing wrong with this.
As for being ashamed, it's already a shame on the left and right, who cares about that?
Moreover, losing enough in Chang'an at one time is a good thing for them, and it is better than being picked up from time to time in the future to be arranged and arranged.
Let's let you see, my clan is ashamed, but you Li Chengqian are not ashamed?
When the world is laughing at our clan for taking humiliation on themselves, won't they think about it more, are you Li Chengqian a little less tolerant?
In the end, it's hard to say who has the most to lose.
This is also the reason why they decided to let those clansmen go directly back to Chang'an.
A future emperor has no room for people, how many people will be discouraged, or worried?
"If Wang Dequan can accept a student to enter the Changming Restaurant as a handyman, then it will be worth the loss of our scholar clan this time!" The patriarch of the Zheng clan said with a smile.
….
However, as soon as he said this, the patriarch of the Wang clan shook his head: "Impossible, Wang Dequan is not a fool, and our Highness is even more human, how can he do such a thing?"
Not to mention the students, just now, the miscellaneous servants of the entire Changming Restaurant are only selected from the three families of the Jingyang Wang family, the Yang family, and the Li family, and others can't reach out at all."
"Don't say it, Changming Restaurant may really be a good place to enter." The patriarch of the Lu clan said, "As for those miscellaneous servants in Changming Restaurant, who dares to treat them as ordinary miscellaneous servants?
If they encounter a good opportunity in the future, it is not impossible for them to rise to the top.
Hey, it's a pity that I've been studying hard for more than ten years, and in the end I can't do a bunch of miscellaneous laborers."
In the end, the Lu clan patriarch shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Can we start with these three?" The patriarch of the Bolingcui clan said, "Let the scholars of these three families enter the Changming Restaurant as a handyman?
If it really happens, the scholars of the world will have to make trouble, and in the end, they can only do a miscellaneous job, so what's the point of revitalizing culture and education?"
When the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan heard this, he shook his head: "The three of them are all from merchants, and people who are literate and hyphenated can find two, but if you want to talk about serious scholars, do you think there are them?"
"I don't have my family, don't you have a side line?" The patriarch of the Bolingcui clan said, "You don't have to be from your own family, as long as you can stick some connections, and then find Wang Dequan, isn't there a chance?"
"It's doable." The patriarch of the Zheng clan said, "Who doesn't have a few distant relatives who are rich or down-and-out? The question is, should this be the case at Wang De's plenary meeting?"
"Why not?" The patriarch of the Bolingcui clan said, "You think, he is almost a typical example of a poor man who has become rich, and he has been looked down upon by scholars in various ways. At the beginning, even if those distant relatives of his Wang family, as long as they were scholars, even if they were down, they could afford him to be a businessman?
At this time, the people who looked down on him in the past came to serve him, all kinds of flattery, even if he was not confused by money and beauty, but could he bear all kinds of praise from those who looked down on him in the past?
Some people are greedy for money, some are greedy for sex, some are greedy for power, but there are also those who are greedy for fame.
To deal with such people, we just need to prescribe the right medicine!"
The patriarch of the Li clan of Zhaojun nodded and said, "I can see this matter, Wang Dequan is indeed not greedy for money, after all, people's daily profits are estimated to be not a small amount.
But after all, such a person came up from a small person, and if he touted it a little, it was really possible to be fluttering, and he was still his distant relative, so the old man felt that he could give it a try.
If it really happens, it will be a big blow to the culture and education that the court has just begun to revitalize, or to our highness."
"That's okay, the old man will let people investigate." The patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan also nodded, "But on the side of the Guozijian, we can't be idle, we still have to fan the fire among the scholars, no matter what the result is, it's better to do than not to do it."
They have always thought that our warriors are easy to bully, but the old man wants to see if they can resist this mouth!"
They actually don't care so much about becoming the laughing stock of Chang'an.
….
In these years, who hasn't had something to do and become someone else's after-dinner conversation?
When it comes to their part, they have to be cheeky, but they don't have to.
As long as you can achieve your goal, what if you tear your face?
If you want to do big things, who still stares at their own face day by day?
If that's the case, Li Er should stop doing it and give way early.
Because the biggest black material in the whole world
It's himself.
Killing his brother and forcing his father, he can withstand such a big scandal, not to mention their thousand-year-old scholars.
Face, that's earned by yourself!
Of course, I also lost it myself.
While they were discussing this, the caravan to and from Daming finally returned.
Because of the previous request of the Ming Dynasty, this time they delayed a lot of time.
However, the delay was worth it.
By the next day, when the shops began to open, the dazzling array of goods produced by the Ming Dynasty shocked the entire Chang'an City.
Among them, the most popular among women is the vanity mirror.
A mirror the size of a pu fan dares to sell for nearly two dollars! It's really a black heart!
But even so, when the vanity mirror is on the market, it is still in short supply.
Chang'an has the most and the most nobles!
Whoever is short of money, they will not be short of money!
For a time, the whole Chang'an set off a crazy shopping frenzy.
In addition to the vanity mirror, there are also music boxes with a consistent price of five, a dresser that starts with three times, and so on......
Seeing this, Wang Dequan immediately gave an order to the work in the store.
After a while, a joke spread in Chang'an City.
The things of the Ming Dynasty are indeed expensive and pitted, but the Ming Dynasty never pits the poor.
This word soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
Along with this sentence, there is another sentence, just eight words.
Produced by Daming, it must be a high-quality product!
However, in the midst of these rumors and the hot market, a notebook of eighty eldest sons was quietly sold to thousands of households.
Li Chengqian's first round of layout began silently.
------Off topic------
Although there is only one chapter today, it is more than the other three chapters!
Zhenguan has no prince.
Go intoxicating
