Chapter 929: A Long-Cherished Wish for Early Retirement

His Majesty had a lot of instructions, and it was already dark when Li Daozong walked out of the Xingqing Palace.

Thinking about what I have experienced in the past few days, I feel that there is a mess within the clan.

With Wei Ting being beheaded all over the house, this matter will come to an end.

Li Daozong walked out of Chang'an City, rode on a horse, and looked at the night scene in the distance.

The official road is quiet, and the night breeze is blowing in my ears.

In the moonlight, I saw a team of soldiers and horses standing not far away.

Li Dao Zongce immediately stepped forward and met Li Tai and Li Xiaogong.

"What did Father say?"

"Alas......"

There was a sigh, and several people were speechless.

Li Tai said to his guards, "You all go back first." ”

The guards dispersed.

There are only three uncles and nephews left in front of them.

Only then did Li Daozong speak: "Your Majesty wants this matter to stop when it arrives at Wei Ting." ”

Li Xiaogong asked, "What about the East Palace?" ”

Li Daozong shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the crown prince, at least they don't have the support of the crown prince." ”

Li Tai bowed his head and said, "Someone has been sent to arrest Li Yuanchang." ”

"Well, so be it."

Li Daozong felt very tired.

Li Tai and Li Xiaogong went to Lishan together.

The token of the East Palace is still in Lishan, and Zhang Yang put this token on the bookcase.

Li Yue frowned and looked at it, "It seems that the husband doesn't plan to return this token to the East Palace." ”

"Your father's son-in-law is really not good."

In recent days, Li Chengqian has been very distressed, and he did not return the token of the East Palace after handing it over to Lishan, so he said helplessly: "Sure enough, it shouldn't have been handed over to him in the first place." ”

The guards in front of the palace came to report, "Your Highness, Zhao Guogong is here." ”

Hurriedly walked outside the hall, Li Chengqian saluted and said, "Uncle." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was solemn, "Your Highness, the old man has something to ask." ”

"Uncle, please speak."

The eldest grandson Wuji put his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at the prince's expression, "Is Li Yuanchang's conspiracy with Wei Ting really related to His Highness?" ”

Li Chengqian sat down and took out a volume of letters, "Li Yuanchang They do have the intention of befriending Lonely, but they have never said that they want to rebel." ”

"That's fine, the prince doesn't have to care about the clan's discussions."

"Uncle is worried, I don't know how my body is?"

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and said, "It's much better now." ”

In the palace, the prince hurriedly came to the palace from Lishan.

Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy, "How much is the prince involved in this matter?" ”

The prince replied: "The old slave ordered someone to investigate, the prince did not participate in it, and a lot of letters were found from the mansion of the Han king's fief, and the king of Han really wanted to win over the prince, but he didn't have time yet." ”

"Yes, I see."

Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief, and the whole person finally relaxed, "You go back to Lishan." ”

The prince bowed and saluted, "The old slave retires." ”

Li Shimin sat down again and took a few deep breaths on his forehead, then coughed violently again, and the palace maid on the side handed over a bowl of hot tea.

After the tea is inhaled, I feel much more comfortable.

Waiting for Li Junxian to enter the hall, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Have you found Li Yuanchang?" ”

Li Junxian reported: "I found it, and the official road to Tongguan was taken." ”

"Well, I don't want to see him anymore."

"Whoa."

The emperor is ruthless, and the royal family is also ruthless, and under His Majesty's orders again and again, a hidden danger has disappeared invisibly.

demoted the Han king Li Yuanchang to a concubine and then exiled him.

As for the accomplices of the Han king's fiefdom, they were all beheaded.

The people in the clan were terrified because of this.

There will always be such a few birds who are looking for death, who is he Li Shimin, and who will dare to have two hearts in the future?

Datang's Sheji was once again held up in the wind and rain.

In Chang'an City, Li Zhi and Di Renjie looked at Zhang Cambodia holding a blue-eyed orchid, and the orchid also lifted her clothes and deliberately teased her.

Zhang Cambodia sank more and more.

Li Zhi turned his head and didn't want to look at this guy again, "If I help him in the future, I'll die head-on!" ”

Di Renjie also said: "People who can be swayed by women are straw bales." ”

The two of them walked back to Suzaku Street, thinking of what had happened recently, Di Renjie said: "The past two years have been really stormy. ”

Li Zhi glanced at Gongsun Xiaoniang behind him, took the water cup from that hand, unscrewed the wood and made a round lid, "This is a newly made thermos cup in Lishan, I still have it in the palace, let someone give it to you." ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and said: "Lishan's knowledge has said the law of conservation, there is no long-term insulated cup in this world. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Of course it doesn't exist, this kind of sandwich wooden cup can slow down the loss of heat and keep the water temperature of the water cup as much as possible." ”

In the quiet of the afternoon, there was no need to go to the criminal department to do things for the time being, Di Renjie comfortably found a balcony with direct sunlight, sat in front of the window, and enjoyed the warmth.

Li Zhi rested his feet on a stool and lay on the chair with his eyes closed, "It's good that all the wine shops in Chang'an City have changed chairs now." ”

There were also several students from the Hongwen Hall discussing this imperial examination in the building.

Gongsun Xiaoniang stood against the door, also enjoying the warmth of this moment in the sun.

"Di Renjie, when do you plan to participate in the imperial examination?"

"It will take another three years to reach the age of being able to enter the imperial examination, and I am only fourteen years old now, so I am not in a hurry."

Li Zhi smiled: "In another three years, I don't know if the imperial examination will change its face." ”

A woman holds tea and puts it on the table, she deliberately leans close to King Jin, lowers her chin and lowers her posture, and the loose placket will fall.

This scene was seen by Gongsun Xiaoniang.

However, neither Li Zhi nor Di Renjie looked at her.

This woman has a lot of small movements, Gongsun Xiaoniang chuckled, she behaved like this in front of King Jin, it was really boring for herself.

In July of the 16th year of Zhenguan, the equipment of the Lishan factory was improved several times, and the facilities in the workshop were changed to equipment specially used for the production of railroad tracks.

The red iron bar is pulled out of the mouth of the furnace and pulled under a large piece of die-cast iron, after which the iron bar is driven and rolled repeatedly by two large rollers until the rail is straight enough.

Yan Liben didn't dare to adjust the speed of the train too fast, and found a balance between stability and speed, so that even if the track was a little pothole, it could run smoothly under the premise that the train maintained a stable speed.

Occasional fluctuations, there will be no rails, which is the experience gained in the past two years, and can also leave enough operating margin for the workshop to cast rails.

On Lishan, Zhang Yang is still worried about the current market situation.

Li Yue looked at the current accounts and didn't speak for a while.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui sat in front of the teacher and the master.

Zhang Yang said: "The current business is huge enough, the market in Guanzhong is limited, if the scale is not expanded, they will continue to lower the price, we must increase exports, increase the scale, do not increase the scale can only continue to reduce the price, the formation of the involution after the bitter or the ordinary villagers who work." ”

"The husband is right." Li Yue put down his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The exit of the Hexi Corridor alone is not enough, and the efficiency of the goods out of customs is not enough. ”

Judging from the accounts of Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui, all counties in Guanzhong are now clearing their inventories.

Chang'an City has a population of one million, and the supply can barely be turned, but counting the 24 counties of Zuofu in the east of Guandong, it is not necessarily a good thing that all the huge productive forces flow to Chang'an City.

"Xiao Wu, you can bring us our personnel placement chart."

"Whoa."

Xiao Wu hurriedly left, he took out a chart from the library and spread it out on the table.

Zhang Yang looked at the icon and whispered, "Arrange a sales team." ”

"How?"

"The counties sent people to travel all over the Central Plains to sell the goods in Guanzhong."

Li Yue hesitated: "There are traders in the original Zhongyuan. ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "You can't rely on those traders, they don't have a fixed number of roads, and they don't have a specific price, they mostly go to a place and use experience to judge prices, and it's more difficult to manage." ”

"If we can grasp the flow of goods, then we can grasp the price, collect the purchasing power of the Central Plains state capitals, and adjust the price in a unified manner in the future, and the price unification will be more critical, and the goods in Guanzhong need to have a good enough reputation."

"The goods are shipped out first, and then warehouses can be arranged in the state capitals to store the goods, so as to increase the efficiency of circulation."

Xiao Hui nodded heavily, "Disciple, I'm going to write letters to the counties." ”

Li Yue advised: "Use your master's Shangshu Zuo Cheng to seal the letter." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui went together to arrange the next matters.

Zhang Yang looked up at the blue sky, thinking that he would sleep for an afternoon, and no one would want to disturb his rest.

Xiaohui and Xiaowu worked together to draw up letters to the counties, and Lishan did not participate in the specific matters, and let the counties arrange them themselves.

Their workshop was built under the guidance of Lishan, and they had to come to the sales process by themselves, and Lishan gave them some more policies, and how to implement them depends on the action ability of each county.

In this way, it is natural that the fittest will be survived, and the difference between individual ability and team ability will soon be reflected.

First of all, Huayin County is the slowest pace.

Lantian County is doing the best.

In this year's imperial examination, many people were eliminated.

This year, Lishan has graduated 800 students, and another 1,000 will be enrolled.

Many students who failed in the imperial examination looked for their own way out, some went to Lishan, and some went to various counties.

In line with Lishan, it is to recruit people with specialties in manpower to do their own specialties.

The dispatch of goods and the ability to sell should be assessed in each county to select talents.

When production reaches a certain scale, the importance of capacity begins to come to the fore.

Those students who failed in the imperial examination entered the Zhenguan Academy, and Lishan came to absorb these students after the imperial examination.

Counties are also absorbing talents at this time.

In terms of absorbing talents, let alone Lishan, all counties need talents in all aspects, and they are almost torn apart from the DPRK and China to grab people.

In the face of the interests of survival and growth, the counties of Guanzhong will not look at the face of the court.

This year's Zhang Cambodia finally got the first, but it was barely the first, and the court gave him the position of a small official in the secretary supervisor, and he did some chores such as sorting out files and submitting documents on weekdays.

Tian Khan would relax with Empress Changsun in the Taiye Pool on weekdays.

At night, the forty-four-year-old emperor invited Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, and Liang Jianfang and other generals to have a banquet in Xingqing Palace.

At the banquet, the ministers drank wine and talked loudly about the year.

The Tang people like to dance, Cheng bites the golden tiger and dances in the hall, and then Niu Jinda and Yu Chigong also began to dance.

The scene was chaotic for a while, everyone drank happily, and the demons in the hall danced wildly.

Li Shimin, together with a group of military generals, sang loudly in loose clothes.

Drink-soaked clothes, laughing maniacally.

The emperor is still the emperor, and he is as wild as an ordinary martial artist, and no one can stop him when he is presumptuous.

Before you know it, everyone is nearly fifty years old, and there are many minor problems with the generals.

For example, Qin Qiong can't drink anymore.

Wei Chigong's back was uncomfortable.

Niu Jinda did not dare to eat sweets.

In Lishan's words, these old generals are all old sick people in Lishan.

……

Everyone is getting older, and it is no longer like when they were young, when they could be happy all night at night, and the next day they could turn over and go out to fight.

Now everyone has been partying all night, and the next day is obviously lacking in energy.

Li Shimin woke up from drunkenness, looked at all the generals falling asleep together, sighed, and felt extremely lonely in his heart.

Ordered someone to bring water for washing, and a palace maid held a mirror, "Your Majesty, this is a newly made glass mirror from Lishan." ”

"Glass mirror?"

The back of the mirror appears to be painted with oiled paper and lacquer.

The face in the mirror is very clear, the facial features are clear, and Li Shimin can see the coarse pores when he looks closer.

The face in the mirror, the eye sockets collapsed, the complexion was a little pale, and there was still some blue under the eyes, a face that was extremely tired.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and asked people to take away the glass mirror, and he wanted to slap his decadent face when he saw too much.

In the end, he resisted the urge to pump himself.

After washing up, he cleaned up, let the palace maids and eunuchs take care of these generals, and left first.

Today, Li Shimin plans to lock himself up in the Ganlu Palace, he doesn't want to go anywhere, and he doesn't want too many people to see this decadent face.

Another month passed in the peaceful time, and the emperor also lived a lonely and self-free life in the palace.

All kinds of affairs in the DPRK and China were handed over to the Zhongshu Province to deal with, and more and more concerts were sent to Lisan every day.

If there is a major event, the emperor is also willing to listen to the advice, or let the ministers discuss the government.

Today, the prince's family came to Lishan.

Zhang Yang and Li Yue personally received this family.

Xiao Qingqing was reluctant to play with the prince's son, and only Zhang Xinan was willing to say a word or two to this cousin.

Li Yue pulled the crown princess and said some thoughtful words.

"When will the token be returned?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The East Palace token is still useful, and it can't be handed over to the prince for the time being." ”

Li Chengqian's expression was difficult, "Please also ask Lishan not to use the East Palace token for other purposes." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, we in Lishan will not take the token to swindle everywhere."

"You said before that you would return it to Lone."

"When the matter is done, it will be returned to the East Palace."

The more Li Chengqian laughed, the more embarrassed he became, and said, "I didn't expect Li Yuanchang to do such a thing. ”
