Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 134 What’s on the ninth floor of the star observatory?
Chapter 134 What’s on the ninth floor of the star observatory?
Chapter 134: What’s on the ninth-floor stargazing tower
The excitement of the guest house is due to the appearance of all kinds of novel things in the room.
The oppression lies in the fact that there are too many high-level officials, and some have had friction with each other.
However, this does not include Li Ji and his daughter. They went to find Fang Yuan in the afternoon.
Fangfu.
Fang Yuan will not be on duty in the afternoon.
I didn’t go to the Guest House to meet my colleagues from Hedong Road.
There are too many colleagues there. I don’t know which one I should meet, so I just don’t go.
It was only when he was at home that he received the report, and Li Ji brought his children to visit him.
This surprised Fang Yuan and went out to greet him personally.
"General Li, you have missed your welcome."
Fang Yuan walked out with the red catkins and green ladies.
Seeing the real Li Ji, he quickened his pace to greet him.
"President Fang is too polite."
Li Ji returned the favor politely.
And asked Li Danqiu and Li Siwen to step forward.
They did not come empty-handed, but brought many gifts, and their children all carried gifts in their hands.
However, when the three of them saw Hongxu and Qinggao, they were all stunned, exclaiming that there were beauties from the Western Regions here in Fang Yuan. It was really eye-opening.
"Come in quickly."
Fang Yuan was not polite and asked Hong Xu and Qing Wei to accept it.
Sometimes, if someone gives you a gift, it would be disrespectful to not accept it.
If you want to build a good relationship with the other party, it is best to accept the gift and give a nicer gift in return.
Soon, several people came to the living room.
Hongxu and Qinggao immediately made tea to entertain the three of them.
"It has only been a few months since we last had a quick farewell, but when we arrived in Liaozhou City, great changes took place."
"Fang Jishi has managed well and Liaozhou is changing with each passing day. It's really amazing that the future has unlimited prospects."
Li Ji praised.
However, I was really shocked by the changes in Liaozhou City in the past two days.
Although he arrived in a hurry last time, he also observed the situation in Liaozhou City.
Compared with last time, there have been really big changes. It’s shocking. I really didn’t expect it.
"General Li, please stop flattering me."
"I haven't had time to thank you for your help last time. Please drink tea."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
"Well, this tea tastes better."
Li Ji tasted it and sighed subconsciously.
All he can buy now is high-end tea.
But Fang Yuan’s tea here is special grade, which is one level different.
"This is similar to the special tea I drank in the palace."
Li Danqiu looked at Fang Yuandao curiously.
There is still a big difference in the taste of the three types of tea: intermediate, high-grade, and special.
People who are serious tea drinkers will notice the difference between the three. Li Ji and his daughter are all serious tea drinkers.
"This is special tea. General Li will bring some back later."
Fang Yuan didn't hide anything and said with a smile.
"It is said that tea was invented by Governor Fang. It seems that it is not groundless."
Li Danqiu sighed.
Li Ji and his son were stunned and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.
Regarding this news, the father and son had never heard of it.
"Now Du Miaoyan is in charge of tea. When there is new tea, he will send it to me to taste."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He told Du Miaoyan on purpose.
This can make Li Ji's family feel even more powerful.
They will be even more grateful when the tea leaves are given out later.
After all, the special tea was given to me by others, and I gave it to them because I was reluctant to drink it. The meaning is somewhat different.
Sure enough, the faces of Li Ji and the others changed slightly after hearing this.
"Du Miaoyan, Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo...are they really in Liaozhou City?"
Li Danqiu said slightly shocked.
Yesterday Luxia already told them about it.
Although I no longer doubted it, I didn’t confirm it either.
Now when I hear Fang Yuan talk about it, everyone is a little shocked.
How could these second generation dignitaries from Chang'an City appear in Liaozhou City?
They are not from Hedong Road, so there is no need to come to greet Pei Ji.
"Yes, it's been a while."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The three fathers and daughters looked at each other with doubts in their hearts, wondering what they were doing in Liaozhou City.
However, Fang Yuan didn't take the initiative to say it, and they were embarrassed to ask too much, after all, it had nothing to do with them.
"By the way, Governor Fang, I heard that Prime Minister Pei seems to be targeting you when he comes to Liaozhou this time. You should pay attention."
Li Ji suddenly remembered this and reminded him.
"Thank you, General Li. I already know this."
Fang Yuan nodded.
At the same time, Li Ji reminded himself a little surprised.
This is a friendly signal, at least not an enemy, but maybe a friend or a political alliance.
"That's good."
Li Ji chuckled.
He didn't tell Fang Yuan immediately, just guessing that Fang Yuan already knew.
But speaking of it now, I want to send a friendly signal to Fang Yuan and show that I am not an enemy.
Based on Fang Yuan's current situation, as long as he doesn't die young in the future, he will probably become an extremely human minister sooner or later.
I am just a military commander, and I still rely on civilian officials for many things. Being able to have a good relationship with Fang Yuan is not a bad thing.
"General Li, when will our country start war against the Eastern Turks?"
Fang Yuan changed the topic.
Since Li Ji showed kindness to him, he couldn't help but respond.
"The planning is almost complete and we will set off in a month or two!"
Li Ji's face darkened and he said seriously.
When it comes to national war, he is very cautious.
"We, the Tang Dynasty, will win this battle."
"The person who will make the greatest contribution at that time should be Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
In the Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing led the troops. It is normal that he should take the greatest credit.
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes other marching commanders take the enemy's heads, etc., which often happens.
"Prefect Fang, how can Li Jing compare with my father?"
Li Siwen was immediately dissatisfied.
Now Li Jing is not the God of War, and Li Ji is even more famous.
This time, Li Jing led the army, and many people complained against Li Ji.
However, Li Shimin's intention was very firm, so no one could change this decision.
But Fang Yuan said this in front of Li Ji, which made Li Siwen, his son, very dissatisfied.
Li Ji didn't speak, but his face darkened slightly.
"What I mean is that I hope the general will pay more attention to General Li Jing's itinerary when he is marching and fighting, and maybe he can intercept the military industry."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Governor Fang."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Li Ji pondered for a moment and said calmly.
He was dissatisfied, but he understood what Fang Yuan meant.
Just now, he first showed a friendly attitude to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan responded.
It’s just Li Jing, he still needs to pay attention to the other party’s whereabouts?
They are all marching commanders, so it’s unclear who has the greater credit.
"General, drink tea."
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
I wonder if Li Ji heard it.
But no matter what, the seed has been planted.
When the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy the Eastern Turks ended, Li Ji knew that what he said was right.
At that time, the two people may be able to truly establish a friendship and become partners in the officialdom.
Li Ji drank tea, but seemed to have nothing to talk about anymore.
"Prefect Fang, did you invent everything in the guest house?"
"Did you invent those soft mattresses, toilets, red brick walls, etc.?"
Li Danqiu suddenly asked.
Seeing that her father was speechless, she finally asked herself.
She is very curious about all kinds of strange things in Liaozhou City.
Moreover, she also feels that Fang Yuan may be the one to promote the development of the times, and she is now verifying it.
"Not me."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Not you?"
Li Danqiu was even more surprised.
Didn’t Lu Xia in the Guest House say he was Fang Yuan?
Li Ji and Li Siwen also looked at Fang Yuan curiously, and they were also curious about who made those things.
"I asked Juzi to do it."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Out of his friendliness towards Li Ji and his family, Fang Yuan did not intend to hide it.
These are not things worth hiding, but they are places where both parties can be honest with each other.
"So the idea was yours, right?"
Li Danqiu looked at Fang Yuan intently.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan thought for a while before answering.
I really came up with the idea myself.
But in fact, I didn’t come up with it myself.
I am just transporting things for future generations and imitating them.
Now that we have traveled so many years, we can no longer think of many things in later generations, which is a pity.
"Awesome!"
"As expected, it's you, Governor Fang!"
Li Danqiu suddenly stood up and said.
She walked back and forth, her face flushed with excitement.
It is afternoon time, and the setting sun appears in the west.
The rays of sunlight shone on Li Danqiu's face, making her look heroic.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"I, I..."
Li Danqiu was still walking back and forth excitedly.
Now not only Fang Yuan was curious, but Hong Xu and Qing Wei were also curious.
"Ahem, my daughter is a little different from ordinary people."
"She seems to have extraordinary intuition and always has some strange cognitions. Sometimes I don't know what she wants to express. I'm sorry."
Li Ji explained awkwardly.
“Exceeding ordinary people’s intuition?”
Fang Yuan was stunned and became more curious.
"President Fang, I think you can promote the development of this era, what do you think?"
Li Danqiu stopped suddenly, and then looked at Fang Yuan with swollen eyes.
Fang Yuan was a little unable to react, and was also attracted by her words.
But what also attracts Fang Yuan is that Li Danqiu's eyes are very strange, not like the white eyes and black eyes of yellow people, it seems to be black with gold.
However, she was quickly pulled back by Li Ji, so that Fang Yuan did not see Li Danqiu's eyes clearly.
"Nonsense, didn't I tell you to stop talking nonsense?"
"Prefect Fang, what a joke."
Li Ji scolded.
Pull her back and sit down.
Li Danqiu smiled, but still looked at Fang Yuan excitedly.
"It's okay, it's quite straightforward."
"Actually, I also feel that I will promote the development of the times."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
Originally, Fang Yuan had not thought about anything that would promote the development of the times.
But when Li Danqiu asked this just now, he felt that there seemed to be such a thing.
For example, cement roads, toilets, briquettes, etc., many things are actually not available in this era.
Even with the development of history, it will take a long time to appear, but it was developed and appeared in advance.
Having said that, I am indeed promoting the development of this era.
"Really, really?"
"Do you think so too?"
Li Danqiu was very excited.
She told many people how they were doing.
But none of the replies I received were as positive as Fang Yuan's.
Either they don’t believe it, or they just laugh and say let nature take its course.
This made her rarely tell anyone about her intuition about him.
Even for your own family.
Because my family doesn’t really believe in me either.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan chuckled and nodded.
"You, you, look at my eyes!"
"Can you see the gold faintly visible in the darkness?"
Li Danqiu was even more excited.
She stood up again, approached Fang Yuan, leaned down and opened her eyes wide.
Suddenly, a unique fragrance rushed into Fang Yuan's nose.
Fang Yuan didn't pay much attention to the scent, but stared into Li Danqiu's eyes.
Hongxu and Qinggao on the side also came over and looked into Li Danqiu's eyes with curiosity.
“You can really vaguely see the gold!”
Fang Yuan was a little surprised.
There are no colored contact lenses in this era.
But Li Danqiu’s dark eyes were vaguely shining.
But looking at the father and son Li Ji and Li Siwen, there is no doubt that they are of pure Han descent.
"Yes, how come there is gold?"
Hongxu and Qinggao also asked curiously.
"Hehe, my master said that there is something wrong with my eyes, so I am much stronger than ordinary people."
"It's a pity that almost everyone around me doesn't believe it. Even my father is half-convinced. You are the first one to believe me the first time."
Li Danqiu smiled, looking a little proud.
She sat back down and looked at Fang Yuan with a proud face.
"This is a very good ability. If you use it well, you can turn danger into good luck!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said solemnly.
Although some magic is unbelievable, it cannot be said that it is not possible.
The I Ching, Bagua, etc. can play a role in turning bad luck into good luck, or her eyes can too.
"I think so too!"
"Unfortunately, it seems that it will take a long time for my intuition to be verified."
Li Danqiu said excitedly.
But soon, I became dejected.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"President Fang, you actually believe her words?"
Li Ji was a little dumbfounded.
He doesn't say he doesn't believe his daughter, nor does he say he does.
It's just that some things are very coincidental, and she just happened to hit it right.
Overall, Li Ji only believed half of his daughter's intuition.
"Believe it."
Fang Yuan nodded.
He doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, and he hardly believes in metaphysics.
But I still have faith in things like intuition.
"President Fang, you are so kind, let's be friends!"
"How much older are you than me? How about I call you Fang Yuan or Brother Yuan?"
Li Danqiu was overjoyed and said excitedly.
It's rare to meet someone who believes in him so much. Li Danqiu wants to be friends with Fang Yuan.
In the future, when I encounter something that my intuition is very accurate, I will directly ask Fang Yuan for his opinion, which is better than asking my father and brother.
"Nonsense!"
"I am the same generation as Governor Fang. If you want to call me Uncle Fang!"
Before Fang Yuan could speak, Li Ji had already spoken.
He knocked Li Danqiu on the head and scolded.
"Hey, is Uncle Fang getting old?"
Li Danqiu said aggrievedly.
She looked at Fang Yuan, he was only twenty-four or five years old.
I am already sixteen years old, only eight or nine years apart.
She felt quite embarrassed to call her Uncle Fang like that.
But the most important thing is that she wants to be friends with Fang Yuan, not her superior or inferior.
"Ahem, call me Fang Yuan. Calling me Uncle Fang is getting old."
Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said slightly embarrassed.
Indeed, calling me Uncle Fang is really old, and calling me Brother Yuan is not very good.
After all, if you call me Brother Yuan, the relationship between you and Li Ji will be that of a superior and a subordinate.
"Then, let's call him Fang Yuan?"
Li Danqiu looked timidly at Li Jidao.
Li Ji snorted coldly, but did not refute again.
After all, Fang Yuan has already spoken, so he still needs to show some face.
It’s just that this daughter is so naughty that she almost lost her face.
"Fang Yuan, my name is Li Danqiu, the Dan of Danqing and the autumn of Autumn."
Li Danqiu stood up and said happily.
"Okay, drink tea."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"I don't want to drink anymore. I want to go to the latrine."
Li Danqiu said with a smile.
His heroic face turned slightly red.
"Hongxu, take her there."
Fang Yuan asked Hong Xu to lead the way.
Hongxu stood up and invited Li Danqiu to leave.
Li Danqiu expressed his gratitude and kicked Li Siwen when he passed by.
Li Siwen immediately stood up, said he was going to the toilet, and left with Li Danqiu.
"Prefect Fang, I made you laugh."
Li Ji felt a little embarrassed and said.
This daughter makes herself feel uncomfortable occasionally.
"It's okay, it's good. Danqiu has a lively personality, so just be happy."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Li Danqiu is a bit strange, but feels quite straightforward.
It's hard to dislike a girl like this, and people will like her even more.
"This girl is just too lively."
Li Ji shook his head and said.
Because he had been in the army for many years, Li Danqiu also learned the habits of the army, a bit like a man.
Later, Li Ji discovered this problem and asked her to study female celebrities, calligraphy and painting, etc.
Although I have studied, I feel more like a female general.
"By the way, it's getting late, why not stay for dinner later?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the sky and said.
It was already evening at this time, and it would soon be dark.
"That's fine, thank you Governor Fang for your hospitality."
Li Ji pondered for a moment and said politely without shirk.
Now my daughter and son went to the toilet and it will take some time before they can come back.
Afterwards, the two chatted about other things, including those from the court, the army, and those who would welcome Pei Ji tomorrow.
Time passed slowly, and the two chatted happily. The sky had darkened, and I needed to hold a lamp to see the road.
But Li Danqiu and Li Siwen have not returned yet, which makes Li Ji a little worried, and he immediately thinks of that strange tall building.
"Prefect Fang, do you have anything important in your tall building?"
Li Ji said calmly.
He thought of his daughter's curiosity about it.
I haven’t come back after going to the toilet for so long, maybe...
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Fang Yuan asked in confusion.
"I, I, I am ashamed of you."
"My children may be eyeing your high-rise building."
Li Ji felt embarrassed.
The two of them were having a good chat just a moment ago, and they had the feeling of having a deep friendship.
Now that something like this happened, Li Ji felt that his face had been completely shamed by these children.
"What does this mean?"
Fang Yuan was even more puzzled.
"They may have sneaked into it, let's go take a look and stop them."
Li Jihong stood up with a dark face.
I felt embarrassed and angry at the same time.
"Don't worry, no one can get there."
Fang Yuan shook his head, but also stood up.
He is very relieved about the security of the nine-story Star Observation Tower.
But I’m not sure whether it will hurt Li Danqiu and the others.
So after getting up, I walked towards the nine-story Star Observation Tower.
But just after taking two steps, both of them stopped.
Because people are back.
To be precise, he was kidnapped and brought back by the giant.
Their hair and clothes were a little dirty, messy, and a little embarrassed.
"Fang Yuan, do you know these two?!"
Juzi looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously and asked.
When they caught their siblings just now, they said they knew Fang Yuan.
Originally, he wanted to torture the two of them, but after hearing these words, Juzi stopped.
After thinking about it, he personally brought Fang Yuan to see him to confirm whether he really knew Fang Yuan.
"Dad, Fang Yuan."
Li Danqiu said with a smile.
Li Siwen also smiled and lowered his head, daring not to speak.
"Prefect Fang, I'm sorry, my children are not sensible."
Li Ji was so angry that he glared at Li Danqiu and Li Siwen and apologized to Fang Yuan.
"Relax."
Fang Yuan's face darkened slightly, letting Juzi loosen his grip.
I actually sneaked into the nine-story Star Observation Tower, so cool.
Their clothes and hair are just a little messy, but they seem to be very capable of stealing.
Soon, Juzi untied them, but did not leave. He sat aside and let Qinggao pour tea.
He didn't know yet whether the two sisters had stolen anything, so he stayed here to find a chance to ask.
"You guys are really mad at me. You're all embarrassing me and you still don't apologize?!"
Li Ji was so angry that he looked as ugly as possible.
"Fang Yuan, I'm just curious about what's on it. I never thought about stealing it."
"Yes, I just walked in accidentally. I swear I was really careless."
Li Danqiu said sarcastically.
Li Siwen also apologized.
"How many floors have you reached?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Two, two floors."
"The mechanism is too powerful, I can't get up."
Li Danqiu said with a smile.
She was naturally very embarrassed when she was caught red-handed.
But I didn't regret it in my heart. Instead, I was even more curious about that tall building.
There must be something very, very important up there, otherwise it wouldn’t be so strict.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji, who was looking embarrassed, was shocked, secretly shocked that the strange building's defense was so terrifying.
Li Ji knows the abilities of the children of habitual criminals, but he can only go up to two floors. It seems that there is something really valuable in that high-rise building.
"Fortunately, you only went up to the second floor. Your life may be in danger if you go to the third floor."
Fang Yuan shook his head and warned.
It’s embarrassing to blame.
For Li Ji's sake, let's just let it go.
We're just on the second floor, there's nothing shameful about it.
"So scary?!"
Li Danqiu said in surprise.
But my eyes are even more curious about the things above.
She wouldn't give up even if she couldn't see what was above.
"Well, it's terrible. It won't happen again."
"General Li, let's go eat."
Fang Yuan warned.
Then he looked at Li Ji and invited him.
"No, no, no, I don't have the nerve to stay and eat."
"President Fang, I will definitely teach these two ignorant guys a lesson when I turn around!"
Li Ji said with a face full of embarrassment.
He was too embarrassed to stay for dinner.
These children really disgraced him.
"Children are just messing around, it doesn't matter."
"Let's have a few drinks tonight. We have some fine wine."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
He pulled Li Ji and walked towards the dining table.
It is impossible to let Li Ji leave at this time.
If he leaves now, there may be a gap between the two parties.
After all, Li Danqiu was just a child and did not cause inevitable consequences.
Fang Yuan is still very concerned about the resources of Li Ji, a powerful general, and must form an alliance.
No matter what dynasty it is, those who hold military power at any time are the most powerful.
Li Ji couldn't resist Fang Yuan, so he was dragged to the dining table by Fang Yuan.
Li Danqiu and Li Siwen followed behind.
The two stared at each other, feeling as if they were going to fight.
At the dinner table, Fang Yuan took out the newly refined alcohol.
Li Ji's embarrassment disappeared a lot after a few drinks. During this period, he pulled Fang Yuan to become sworn friends.
Li Danqiu, on the other hand, had no idea of eating at all. His mind was on that strange nine-story building, curious about what treasures there were.
The night passed quickly.
This day is the day when Liaozhou City welcomes Pei Ji.
