Li Shen knew what Xie Zhi'an meant when he heard Xie Zhi'an's words, Xie Zhi'an wanted to climb his own big tree, he was really old and slippery,

I want to climb up at every opportunity.

"Patriarch Xie's good intentions are in the king's heart, but Patriarch Xie's granddaughter doesn't need it.

This king is a royal clansman, and His Majesty has taught this king since he was a child to devote himself to my Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this king has never been obsessed with women, nor is he willing to enjoy it, and he is dedicated to serving the court.

Living in a simple and unpretentious place is the pursuit of this king.

Every penny saved will be a contribution to my Datang. ”

Li Shen refused with a serious face,

He was a good man, a simple man, a man who was detached from low tastes.

Li Shen's words stunned the Xie family's father and son, isn't it said that King Ji is extravagant and only understands pleasure?

Isn't it said that King Ji lived a luxurious life, and even the floor tiles at home were made of gold?

How is this not the same as the rumors?

"It's the villain who is abrupt, His Royal Highness King Ji is so noble in character and has the world in mind, he is really a model for us.

If our businessmen can have a simple heart like His Royal Highness King Ji to help the people, then my Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous. ”

Xie Zhi'an came out as soon as possible to express his approval and admiration for Li Shen.

"Haha, Patriarch Xie said well, we are businessmen, we should serve the country, the country is prosperous, and our business will become bigger and bigger.

This year, the Chamber of Commerce is going to build two cement roads and two hundred colleges, if Patriarch Xie is unprepared, he can donate some money, and when the time comes, Patriarch Xie's name will be engraved on the merit tablet. ”

Li Shen laughed and never forgot to pull sponsorship.

Xie Zhian hurriedly nodded yes, saying that he would definitely donate more.

After that, Xie Zhian also said goodbye and left for Xie Jiazhuang tomorrow.

After Xie Zhi'an left, Li Shen wrote two letters, which attracted Xue Rengui and said:

"Rengui, here are two letters, you have people send them to our newspaper office in Cangzhou, and ask them to send them six hundred miles to expedite, and change horses and not people.

It is said that this king has urgent matters and cannot be delayed.

This letter was addressed to Wang Xuance, and asked him to hurry to Cangzhou.

The other one is for my eldest brother, and if I come back, give it to me Aye.

Hurry up. ”

Li Shen handed the two letters to Xue Rengui, and took out a jade plate, which was the order of King Ji specially used to transmit news.

Except for the intelligence officers, no one knew that there was such a token.

This was designed by Wang Xuance himself and carved by the craftsmen of the palace.

Xue Rengui took the two letters and the jade plate and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Li Shen wrote a letter to Wang Xuance without important information, just to ask him to come over quickly, he needs Wang Xuance by his side now.

He thinks that in addition to some experience in his previous life, he is not as good as these ancients in terms of wisdom and political consciousness.

He needs Wang Xuance's think tank to give him advice, Wang Xuance can take advantage of the situation to destroy a country, and there is no need to say much about his wisdom.

Moreover, Wang Xuance's ancestor was born as a military general, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is proficient in everything about Wen Taowu.

What Li Shen wants to use is Wang Xuance's political sense, Wang Xuance has been a long history in the Ji Wangfu over the years, and often deals with court officials.

The main thing is what Li Shen should do, Li Shen will use various excuses to let Wang Xuance do it, so Wang Xuance has been exercising very well over the years, and it can be said that he is at ease.

After the letter was sent, Li Shen went as usual, and the next day he personally went to the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion.

Since the notice was posted, and the notice already stated that King Ji was here, there were really businessmen who came to report Li Dabian's evil deeds and provided evidence, including how much money they had extorted or plundered them.

Li Shen asked people to write down one by one, no matter how much it was, as long as there was a number.

Li Shen also went to see Li Dabi once, but according to the regulations, Li Shen could not see Li Dabi alone, and needed to be accompanied by Xi Bian, who was the assassin.

This is the law, Li Shen is not supervising the imperial history, nor is he a deposed envoy sent by the imperial court, and he doesn't even have an official position.

Li Shen's meeting was expected to be that he didn't ask anything.

Li Shen was not disappointed, he was not prepared to ask anything.

On the third day, Li Shen didn't even go to the Yamen, but took people to wander around Cangzhou and buy some materials and utensils.

There are many things that are worthless but what Lingnan needs,

For example, farm tools, cloth, etc., Li Shen buys them in large quantities, just like he doesn't need money.

In the end, the price of farm tools and cloth was raised by more than 10%.

The farm tools in Cangzhou City were all bought by Li Shen.

~~~Long time no see~~~~

In the Assassin's Mansion, one of Xi Bian's cronies was reporting to Xi Bian,

"Envoy, King Na Ji is wandering around Cangzhou City these days, shopping. I bought all the farm tools on the market.

In the past few days, the villain has followed him personally, and he has not found anything unusual. ”

"Haven't you been discovered?" Xi Wei sat upright, drinking tea, and asked.

"Don't worry, the villain is far away, and they won't find out." The cronies swore and said.

"Well, no matter what this little prince does, you have to keep a firm eye on the official, the official has a feeling that this little prince is coming for us."

Xi Wei nodded.

"Yes, envoy."

Xi Wei waved his hand, told his cronies to go down, and then thought alone.

Listening to Li Shen's words to Li Dabian, Xi Wei guessed that Li Shen must have meant something, and this point was likely to be himself.

Otherwise, Li Shen said it in front of him.

What he didn't know now was whether Li Shenlai was coming for him, or if he really happened to be passing by here as he said.

"Make a king, make a king, the villain has something important to report." There was a whistle outside.

"Come in."

I saw a subordinate push the door in front of Xi Wei.

"How's it going?" Xi asked.

"Back to the envoy's words, the villain went to Xiejiazhuang, the people of Xiejiazhuang don't know where King Ji came from, Xiejiazhuang is not the main road, the villain guessed that it should come from the small road,

So I searched along the path,

Sure enough, the villain found a lot of horseshoe marks, and followed the horseshoe marks to the Yellow River.

The villain found that there were five large boats parked by the Yellow River, and the flag hung on them was also the flag of the prince. ”

The next few people came to this table and asked:

"Five big ships? Why stop here instead of the pier? ”

"Back to the envoy, the villain checked it, because a merchant ship was blocked in the middle of the river and ran aground.

The villain inquired and heard that it had been stranded for several days, because the merchant ship was tilted too severely, so it was very laborious to pull it out.

It was easy to overturn the boat, and now I am using a small boat to unload the cargo, hoping to reduce the weight of the boat and make it float a little more.

When the villain left, I heard that it would take a day or two to unload. ”

"Stranded? Occupy the river? After hearing the words of his subordinates, Xi Wei was horrified, and his whole person began to tremble, and his forehead began to sweat.
