He looked at a few people and frowned: "Shilang Xu is really doing things..."

"The last general arrived just before dawn and the city gates were opened." Niu Chao said again: "My father wanted a certain family to serve in Chang'an City. It happened that Xu Shilang had shown good intentions before and accepted the position.

Come to Jingzhao Mansion to work."

Pei Xingjian had only been in office for three days. He had nothing to do in these three days and slept here. He did nothing else except kill Aluoben.

"Who are you……"

"My father, who holds a humble position, is Niu Jinda, a lieutenant in the Youwu Guard. My grandfather is an Niuhan, and my grandfather is Niu Shuang."

"It turns out he is General Niu's child." Pei Xingjian looked at this man who was much stronger than himself, and said, "Bring me the land records of each county in Chang'an City."

Niu Chao frowned and said, "Jingzhao Mansion needs documents from the province to transfer the field register."

Pei Xingjian hated such rigid rules. He waved his hand and said: "A certain family will go get the paperwork right now. You go get the field records first."

"Here." This group of people went about their business in a hurry.

Pei Xingjian felt much happier now that he had the manpower to handle the matter. He walked towards Menxia Province. The man in charge of Menxia Province was a young man who had passed the imperial examination.

He didn't panic when he saw Pei Xingjian, he was very stubborn.

It wasn't until Pei Xingjian slapped him that he was stunned, and then he hurried to get the documents.

After walking this time, Pei Xingjian became more determined about what he said at the wine table last night. You have to beat some people to make them obedient. If they don't obey, kill a few people.

What a barbaric style, this court is different from what Pei Xingjian saw in the classics and history books.

It's no wonder that there are frequent fights in Tai Chi Hall, this court is so interesting.

Pei Xingjian was so intoxicated that he couldn't extricate himself.

Niu Chao was very responsive to the new Chang'an order. They looted more than thirty cities and towns in Chang'an, and only brought the field records in the evening.

To be precise, they didn't take it, they snatched it.

There are just as many subordinates as there are superior officials. Pei Xingjian's style is so distinctive and unique that it makes people admire him.

Lishan, Zhang Yang has been involved in government affairs for a long time, but he heard that Pei Xingjian killed A Luo Ben on the first day he took office as Chang'an Order.

It sounds like people have said that Pei Xingjian was a cruel official, but actually there is nothing wrong with that.

Pei Xingjian had already made a name for himself in Guanzhong during the First World War in Persia, but now he killed people on the first day he took office, which made people's impression of him.

Xiao Qingqing's model of Chang'an City was completed, which took two months.

The family has arranged an open space for her, and now she can use bricks and stones to build a model of Chang'an City.

Just treat it as a child's hobby. As long as it doesn't delay your studies, the parents will let her do it.

In the early morning, Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Xing'an were chasing a fat duck with wooden sticks.

What a wonderful childhood, you have to fight and kill.

The fat duck ran around, twisting and quacking.

Until it ran to Li Xiaogong, a big hand picked it up, and then twisted its neck.

With the two children stunned, the duck was thrown to the ground and flopped twice without moving.

When Xiao Qingqing and Xin An settled down, they lost their fun and looked indignant.

Li Xiaogong felt a little sorry, and realized that he had disturbed the children's enjoyment, so he had the duck plucked and its entrails removed, and the duck was roasted for the two children to eat.

Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze and stood at the entrance of the village with his hands folded.

Cen Wenwen came in a carriage with food in his mouth.

"Brother Wenwen, it's time to come."

"There have been many delays in the affairs of the court." Cen Wenwen got off the carriage and took out the memorial and handed it over.

Zhang Yang opened the memorial with a smile and looked at the contents, "Huh? Two hundred thousand guan?"

Cen Wenwen nodded slightly, "I wonder if the county prince would be satisfied with Qujiang Pool at this price?"

"Brother Wenwen, the cost of Lishan is also tight. It is not appropriate to exchange these 200,000 yuan for Qujiang Pool."

"As far as I know, the government and the government were in a tight financial situation at that time. Your Majesty exchanged 90,000 guan for Qujiang Pool with the county prince, which is twice the original price, and there was also the taxes from the Hexi Corridor as collateral."

"The price is 300,000 yuan in exchange, no counter-offer."

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen said angrily: "The property of the county prince's family is more than one million guan, but it still costs 300,000 guan. It's too much to bully people. How can there be so much money in the court? I heard that last winter you sold cotton cloth to the Turks and made a profit of 100,000 guan."

Wan Guan and Li Shan are as rich as any other country."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Brother Wenwen, Qujiang Pond covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. Whether it is relocation or land sales, it can bring an income of 60,000 guan to the court in one year. Are you right?"

Seeing that Cen Wenwen turned his head and said nothing, Zhang Yang added: "Chaozhong can recover its capital as long as it operates for five years. This is a very cost-effective deal, and the geographical location of Qujiang Pool also has water sources. The fish in Qujiang Pool

It’s also a huge fortune, and 300,000 yuan is a very conscientious price.”

"But the imperial court cannot afford so much money. Your Majesty can do his best if he can get 200,000 coins."

"The gold that Pei Xingjian brought is more than 300,000 guan. If you are not willing to take it out, you won't need cash." Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand and smiled: "The court can write another 300,000 guan IOU. I will

I will hand over Qujiang Pool to you."

Cen Wenwen was still thinking about it.

Zhang Yang continued: "As for the mortgage, it can be exchanged with two roads. I want to build a road centered on Lishan Mountain, starting from Lishan Mountain and leading to Gaoling in Weibei, and then westward from Gaoling to Jinghe River.

After crossing the Jinghe River, we will go south and take a detour to Chang'an City, and from Chang'an City to Lishan, there will be one round trip each way, and I want two."

"Hehehe..." Cen Wenwen suddenly laughed and whispered: "It's still the county magistrate Gaoming. The original 90,000 guan was mortgaged in Qujiang Pool. Now if he wants to redeem it, he not only has to pay three times the price, but also pay

There are two roads for the county and the marquis."

Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said: "As we all know, Lishan is the most trustworthy, and Lishan's sales are the most fair. The land price back then was different from the current land price. I think the government and the government are also fair and can settle this account clearly."

Cen Wenwen sighed and said, "I will go back and report this immediately."

This man came and went in a hurry, Lishan's request reached His Majesty's ears, and Ganlu Palace was smashed again.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Half a month later, the emperor came to Lishan in person.

This time, your Majesty came very low-key, and did not even go to Lishan Village, but to the Weishui River in the north of Lishan Mountain.

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin was wearing a brown round-neck robe, a nine-ring belt, and Liuhe boots, which made him look very noble.

Compared to Zhang Yang, his clothes were much simpler, with old and warm jackets and black coats making the thirty-year-old county prince look even more upright.

With a tall and handsome figure and a calm and arrogant look in his eyes, a stranger would think he was a young man in his early twenties.

The monarch and his ministers, one black and one brown, stood by the Weishui River in silence for a long time.

Li Shimin stroked his beard and said, "Lishan wants more and more."

Zhang Yang put his hands behind his back, nodded and said: "Lishan has been building Guanzhong, just like when I insisted on the Western Expedition. Lishan has fulfilled its original gains, and now Lishan promises to make Guanzhong more prosperous and richer.

"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I can let you build the road."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Someone in the court has suggested that I abandon Guanzhong and move the capital to Luoyang."

"It's a little early. Who has such foresight?"

Li Shimin looked forward and whispered: "It's a young man named Xu Yushi. Xu Jingzong even reprimanded him for this matter. His memorial said that the well water in Guanzhong is drying up."

"If His Majesty abandons Guanzhong, Guanzhong will really become a remote place. No one will be willing to invest in Guanzhong anymore. The land here will become more and more barren year by year, and the population here will become less and less. All of this

It will start from the Loess Plateau."

"You want me to stay?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "When Your Majesty leaves, he will probably take away millions of people in Chang'an City and all the wealth. From now on, only Lishan will be able to build Guanzhong. We can no longer work together with Your Majesty."

"Work together? This is the first time I have heard this from you. Anyway, since you have said so, what is three hundred thousand guan? If you can make Guanzhong rich, I will leave it to you to build it."

His Majesty looks much more calm now than before. The emperor's sense of security comes from taxes.

There was no shortage of money in the court. With the emperor's wealth, he could freely build the Taiye Pool and even the Daming Palace.

Construction of the Daming Palace has been suspended since the establishment of the project. It is not that there is no money for construction. Once the emperor becomes extravagant, he will be criticized verbally and writtenly.

"It's been a long time since I sat down and talked with you like this."

"It's been two years."

Li Shimin took a cloth bag handed over by Wang Gonggong. There were several tea eggs in the cloth bag that were still warm. He handed one to Zhang Yang, who also peeled the eggshells.

The egg with the scent of tea leaves entered his mouth, and he chewed it carefully. Li Shimin asked: "What have you been busy with recently?"

"Lishan is developing at full capacity. I have made a magnifying glass. Recently, there has been a breakthrough in experiments. It won't be long before I can make glasses. I am also improving flintlocks and artillery."

"Is it the gun you wanted to sell me before?"

"From a practical point of view, artillery is a heavy weapon after all. If the stability and range of the flintlock can be increased, it can become a standing firearm. My wife always says that the Tang Dynasty is already invincible and there is no need to specialize in firearms.
