Chapter 22 Someone Cuts Off My Wealth?
In the uncle's mansion in Chang'an City, the emperor was looking for someone to make peace, and the eldest grandson Wuji slapped the table and shouted angrily: "He Xiao Yu can fight if he wants to, and he will make peace if he wants to?" When our eldest grandson's family is muddy? β
"Uncle Guo, according to reliable information, the imperial court has researched a secret recipe for making salt, which can improve poisonous salt into good salt, and if this method is successful, there will be no shortage of salt in the world. In the future, the benefits of salt and iron are huge, and you should not continue to fight hard with the Lanling Xiao family. β
Hiss...... The eldest grandson Wuji calmed down, as the emperor's first confidant, he knew more, and even knew that the recipe for making salt was offered by Xiao Yu's son.
So, the big war between the two sides, tacitly tacitly with each other, subsided.
Where is Xiao Rui who lit the fire? This thing has no heart to swim in the lake with his fiancΓ©e.
"The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!"
The princess stroked her palms and praised: "In Chang'an City, Brother Rui's poems are hard to find, and they all praise you for being the first poet in Chang'an, but there is only one chivalrous line." It's just as wonderful to recreate a song today! β
"A song? No, didn't I write a poem for you a few days ago and asked Xiao Changle to take it back? How? Xiao Rui was suspicious.
"A few days ago? Nope! β
"I didn't say it, let me make a poem for you...... Oh...... I understand, no wonder Xiao Changle was weird that day, it turned out that someone deceived me in your name. Xiao Rui suddenly realized, but then he thought that the one he wrote would meet under the moon in Yaotai...... Didn't read it by Xiangcheng, let a big man read it? Vomit......
"Little sister, little sister! I'll go ask her about it! Xiangcheng got up and asked Xiao Rui to dock the boat, Xiao Changle was riding a giant panda to enjoy it.
"Forget it, ask her when you go back, it's rare to have such a good time. I'll read it to you. β
In the romantic world of two people, Xiao Rui's witty words made Xiangcheng funny, and his pretty face was more ruddy than the lotus.
Xue Li, who was fishing by the lake, complained: "No wonder the eldest brother didn't let us get on the boat......"
"Second son, second son, something happened." The housekeeper Xiao Hu hurriedly came with a piece of information.
According to the intelligence, the Xiaojiazhuang caravan encountered robbers on the way north, and a batch of more than a dozen truckloads of tea was robbed. This is definitely a huge loss for Xiaojiazhuang.
"Second son, our tea has just become famous in Chang'an, and now it is a must-have choice for literati. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eldest prince instructed that the grassland market should be developed, and the northern grassland would eat mutton and drink oil tea all day long, and tea would be indispensable to relieve greasyness. But I didn't expect that this trade route was not easy to open, and I was robbed as soon as I walked to Shuofang. This batch of tea, if it is sold in Chang'an City, will be at least a few thousand taels of silver. β
Shuo Fang? Why was he robbed in Shuofang? Is it a steppe horse bandit?
Xiao Hu said in a deep voice: "In the territory of Datang, no one dares to rob my Xiao family's convoy. The steppe horse bandits generally did not rob the Datang caravans, because they had to rely on the Datang to supply salt and tea, and they did not dare to cut off the trade route. There is only one possibility, the local horse bandits of Shuofang. β
Xue Li nodded: "I understand, Shuofang is not under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and now it is the territory of the traitor in Liang Shidu." Hehe, what kind of local horse bandits, nine times out of ten it is his Liang Shidu's hand. β
"Liang Shidu? Alas...... When would it be better if the imperial court could get rid of this evil? β
"Hehe, waiting for the imperial court to send troops? I'm afraid it's not possible in two years, Liang Shi is left and right, but in fact, Jieli is behind him to protect him, and it is not so easy to clean up. "Xue Li often deduces the situation on the map, and he is familiar with these things.
"Then is our caravan still going north?" Xiao Hu expressed embarrassment.
"Go! Why not? The imperial court is afraid of Liang Shidu, and we are not afraid. Wait for me to discuss it with my eldest brother, it's really not good, go north to Shuofang, except for this harm. "Xue Li is extremely domineering.
That night, the two brothers hit it off, plotted against the map for a long time, and then the next morning, Xue Li set off north alone.
Xiao Hu saw him off worriedly, but Xiao Rui said confidently: "Don't worry, this is the second brother's final exam, if you can't even deal with a little Liang Shi, then don't mention making contributions in the future." β
"But, young master, can the second son be alone? Why don't you send some people to help......"
"Help? It's not a strong attack, how many of us are there? It can only be outwitted, and it is easy to be exposed when there are too many people. By the way, withdraw all the shops and scouts within the Shuofang area, a group of waste, don't expose the identity of the second brother again. β
In the palace of Chang'an City, today's emperor did not go to the court, but concentrated on the education of his children, opened the Hongwen Hall in the inner garden of the palace, and invited the famous teacher Li Gang to teach.
"Sir, do you know how to compose poetry?" Xiao Changle looked at the old Li Gang, who had a white beard, stood up and asked.
The nine-year-old crown prince Li Chengqian stood up and scolded: "Little sister sit down, you are not allowed to be rude to the master. β
Xiao Changle didn't care, stuck out his tongue with his brother, and continued to ask: "Can you compose a poem, I will show it to my brother-in-law, and then let my brother-in-law come here to study?" β
Old Li Gang didn't seem to understand, and the crown prince Li Chengqian explained: "Don't blame the master, Changle is talking nonsense." The brother-in-law she said was Xiao Rui, the son of Song Guogong, the fanatic who threatened to write poetry beyond himself to be worthy of teaching. β
"Oh? Xiao Rui? Is that Xiao Rui who wrote "Chivalrous Journey"? Hehe, this son is indeed talented, and the old man can't compare to poetry, so he can't be his teacher. β
The emperor smiled and said: "Mr. Wenji is modest, you are a famous master in the world, who can be your student, it is a blessing for three lives." Although Xiao Rui is talented, he is just a poet, and you can teach him too much. Song Guogong Xiao Yu is intending to send him to Hongwen Pavilion, presumably you will be able to meet him tomorrow. β
"Oh? Very good, such a good talent, the old man also wants to see it. β
In just a few words, Xiao Rui was sold by his future father-in-law. My father Xiao Yu was worried that no one could cure this rebel, and I heard that Mr. Wen Ji of Hongwen Hall wanted to see his son, so he couldn't ask for it, so he rushed to Xiaojiazhuang overnight, grabbed Xiao Rui with his own hands, and brought him back home.
The next day, I personally brought the gift and sent it to the Hongbunkan.
"Mr. Fumiki, this is the puppy. It's a little more stubborn, and you will bother more in the future. Xiao Yu's posture is very low, like a parent of a student who will say good things to the head teacher in the future.
Kicked at the crook of Xiao Rui's leg, "Bastard, don't you salute Mr?" β
Old Li Gang opened his cloudy eyes, as if he was seriously admiring this stubborn young man.
Xiao Rui was speechless, how many years have I been out of school? Did you shove me back into school? Classmates with a bunch of teenage dolls? Can you kill me?
Looking at the thin old gentleman with white hair and a kind face in front of him, Xiao Rui's brain twitched, and he asked coldly: "Old gentleman, if I'm not mistaken, you have two years to live at most......
What??? I'm going to beat you bastard, what crazy are you talking about? Dare to curse Mr. Fumiki? Xiao Yu almost fainted. The students of the entire Hongwen Pavilion were also dumbfounded, one by one, they secretly criticized the old master, daring to contradict the old master like this?
