Chapter three hundred and forty-two: the destruction of the Zhao family)
Then, Li Min was stunned by Zhao Youde's words.
Does the Zhao family actually have this kind of strength?
"As expected, Governor Lin Jue was killed by someone from your Zhao family. As expected, this governor did not wrongly accuse a good person.
Hearing Li Min's words, Zhao Youde said angrily: "Grand Governor, please don't slander me. We didn't kill the governor Lin Jue."
"Oh!" Li Min said thoughtfully: "So? Does your Zhao family really collude with Mo Xieman and the Tubo party members?"
Hearing this, Zhao Youde couldn't help but tremble all over, pointed at Li Min and said: "You, you, you, it turns out that you don't have any evidence at all? You are framed!"
"You are putting trouble on good people and taking human life lightly! You are despicable and shameless! You have no conscience! You traitor! You will not die a good death!"
Seeing Zhao Youde falling into hysteria, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said, "But isn't this the method your Zhao family has been using?"
"When your Zhao family persecuted those innocent civilians in the past, did you ever think about their inner grievances? The so-called cycle of heaven, retribution is not good! What's more, how can you really prevent the collusion between the barbarians, Tubo and party members? I, the Governor
, I have never wronged you!"
After hearing Li Min's words, Zhao Youde collapsed to the ground like a deflated rubber ball, speechless for a long time.
Well, that's right, there is indeed not enough evidence for Li Min's so-called guilt during the trial.
But Li Min believed that based on the crimes committed by the Zhao family, they would not be wronged if they were eradicated.
What Li Min didn't expect was that the charges he originally placed on them were not actually an unjust accusation against the Zhao family.
It can be seen that it is really a cycle of heaven and retribution is not good.
Arrest all the direct descendants of the Zhao family and bring the reduced production of the Zhao family to the public.
When the Zhao family's property was confiscated, a lot of prohibited items were confiscated.
The "Tang Code" stipulates that private ownership of "armored crossbows and spears" is not allowed.
In the Zhao family's treasury, hundreds of sets of armor were found.
Of course, in fact, this situation is very normal in aristocratic families, and everyone just tacitly understands it.
But once found out, it is a felony.
With these weapons and armor, this is a mountain of ironclad evidence.
…
At this time, in Chang'an City, Li Shimin was holding the information in his hand. After reading it, his face couldn't help but show shock and anger.
These situations happened two days ago.
It was the Shadow Guards, an intelligence unit under Li Shimin, who detected it and then passed the message to Chang'an City using flying pigeons.
The news that Li Shimin saw was exactly the information from Yizhou that was passed on by the shadow guard.
When Li Shimin saw the information that Mo Xie barbarians, Tubo and Party members were attacking Yizhou at the same time, he couldn't help but be horrified.
What he was worried about was naturally Li Min's safety.
If something unexpected happens to Li Min, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Li Shimin.
Fortunately, in the end, Min'er was well prepared and easily repelled the three invading troops.
Moreover, some barbarians might have been annihilated, which surprised Li Shimin even more.
And the weapons that Min'er used to deal with the party members were probably the firearms that Min'er mentioned to him, right?
Its power is indeed as what Min'er said, it is infinitely powerful.
If the entire army of the Tang Dynasty could be equipped with such firearms.
By then, the Tang army will surely be invincible.
Invincible and invincible!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning on his face.
However, this incident also made Li Shimin very angry.
The occurrence of this kind of thing is enough to prove that Min'er's previous judgment was correct.
The whole of Yizhou is rotten to the core.
The governor, Lin Jue, and all the officials in Yizhou are probably all rotten.
Moreover, this Lin Jue actually colluded with all foreign enemies.
If Min'er hadn't been sent to Yizhou this time, wouldn't Yizhou be corrupted at any time?
In the original historical trajectory, Yizhou was indeed frequently attacked.
But now, since Min'er is doing so well in Yizhou, it's better to just shoulder the burden for him.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but make a decree and ordered Li Min to return to Chang'an to report on his duties.
In fact, Li Shimin really wanted to ask Li Min whether the firearms he used could be mass-produced now.
But for this kind of thing, it's better to ask in person.
…
At the same time, Li Min naturally didn't know what was happening far away in Chang'an City.
At this time, Li Min came to Xiaohe Village, found Qiao Qi, and decided to ask Qiao Qi to help him with another thing.
At present, the salt production plant is on the right track.
Qiao Qiqi's progress is extremely amazing.
I actually learned hundreds of words in a short period of time.
Simple accounts can already be written.
Moreover, although her font has not obtained the God of Slender Gold Body, it actually has some similarities.
This is really rare for a country girl who has just studied for a few days.
However, Li Min also noticed that the girl looked haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were full of black circles.
Obviously, during this time, she stayed up late to study.
Li Min couldn't help but said to Qiao Qiqi: "Qiqi, studying is important, but you still have to pay attention to your health. If your body collapses, how can you study?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The opportunity to learn literacy is too rare. Qiqi is unwilling to give up such an opportunity. But don't worry, Your Highness, I will take good care of myself."
Seeing what Qiao Qiqi said, Li Min nodded, but it was hard to say anything more.
On the other side, Li Min asked Qiao Qi.
At present, the salt production plant is completely on track.
Even if Qiao Qi is not here, it can still operate normally.
In this case, Li Min decided to transfer Qiao Qi.
Speaking of which, the first person Li Min trusted in Yizhou was actually Qiao Qi.
And Li Min approached Qiao Qi this time to ask Qiao Qi to produce a product.
With this kind of product, Li Min was confident that several important families, including the Five Surnames and Qiwang, would willingly contribute money and materials to build the railway from Yizhou to Chang'an.
And what Li Min planned to let Qiao Qi produce was glass.
In this era, the mirrors used were still made of copper.
In this era, paper was still used to paper windows.
In this era, the windows were opened high and small, and when it was cloudy and rainy, the room would become dark.
After the glass is produced, people with five surnames and seven hopes will surely be able to smell the major business opportunities in it.
Families with five surnames and seven hopes are all profit-seekers. When they see profits, they will definitely flock to them.11
