Liu Chenglong killed twenty-eight people in total.
None of this has anything to do with Zhao Xi. It seems that he is really here to inspect the military training. He goes to each battalion all day long to check the military training sites. He does not care about the affairs of Daizhou Prefecture at all. It is Liu Cheng who gave him the information reported to the court.
Look, he also glanced at it casually.
"This is Daizhou's affairs, and it is not Xi's duty to inspect this time. I hope that the government will not embarrass you..."
One push six two five, it seems that he was not the one who shot Du Yi to death.
Anyway, Liu Cheng also took charge of this matter. The memorial clearly stated that the mutilation of Huang Dutou was exposed due to internal strife among the soldiers.
Afterwards, the Daizhou government office conducted a thorough investigation and dealt with all participants in accordance with the law.
I have to say that this Liu Cheng does have a delicate heart, and he even thought of hiding it for His Highness the Crown Prince.
But Zhao Xi really saw that he was disgusting. He patrolled every day, waiting for the results of the treatment, and also to avoid this bastard.
I'm worried that I won't be able to hold it in anymore and I'll kill him!
It's over, and it's time to return to the court. Liu Cheng's memorial has been sent out, so Zhao Xi can return to the court with peace of mind.
Everyone seemed to understand it, and the whole farewell scene was so harmonious that it even made Zhao Xi feel dazed for a moment...
"One month. The guard camp should return to Bianliang within one month at the latest. You must let Liu Cheng die suddenly after one month!"
"The Imperial City Detective's personnel in Daizhou will contact you. If you need anything, you can ask them. But for the matter of killing Liu Cheng, you must not let others do it for you. It must be someone from the guard camp."
This was the last night before Zhao Xi left. Zhao Xi summoned the ten generals from the guard camp in Daizhou.
If Liu Cheng doesn't die, he will be depressed.
The imperial dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, and neither did I. However, the imperial dynasty could not control the death of people.
Huang Xiang can be thrown into the wall, and Liu Cheng can also die of illness. As for what the court will think... Zhao Xi also wanted to save face, and he was already in Bianliang at that time.
All the way south, this time Zhao Xi did not wander around anymore, just as he had completed the imperial edict, he went straight to Bianliang.
Even though the problem was solved, I didn't feel very happy. I didn't even think about watching the mountains and playing in the water, I just rushed on my way.
I didn't stop in any of the cities and towns, I wasn't in the mood to chat with others, and I didn't like anyone now. Since I didn't want to embarrass myself and make a fool of myself, I just stayed away.
No, it was already half an hour later. Wu Shengjun didn't stop when he passed by, he just passed by.
When it was getting dark, the whole team arrived at the Taiping Station in Longde Mansion.
This is a slightly larger inn.
The escort camp was fully armed this time. They didn't care whether they were in the wild or not, but there was no need to go out of their way to suffer when they could have hot meals.
Before reaching the entrance of the post house, Yi Cheng was already waiting.
Although the journey to the escort camp was not slow, it was not a hurry after all, and the postal delivery was different, and the speed was still quite fast.
There is no shortage of horses to carry messages at the post station.
Zhao Xi had no intention of showing off or causing trouble, but some people like to be troubled.
When and where the guard camp will probably head out and where to stay, not to mention the inn, even the court probably knows... As long as you are not wandering around, this time is fixed.
If you don’t hit someone with a smiling face, they will be well received...
It is normal for officials to be present in the post station, and it is normal for them to accompany the postmaster to show their faces. Whether they are serious or flattering, it is normal.
But Zhao Xi noticed one person and felt that this person came specifically to see him, so he nodded, which felt like nodding to a group of people.
"If anyone comes, bring him in."
Zhao Xi's last sentence left people baffled.
"Teachers, please come over after a short rest."
Zhao Xi threw out another sentence.
He couldn't explain clearly, but Zhao Xi always felt that the person wanted to talk to him about something serious.
Zhao Xi had washed away his so-called dust and had just sat down. Wang Zhongzheng had just made the tea when there was a knock on the door.
"The third sidu sent Xue Xiang to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xue Xiang? Wait...
"But Xue Xiang and Xue Shizheng, who was in charge of the Hebei market in the early years and advised the court to change the Hebei market?"
Zhao Xi had an impression of this person. It was the name of a person he heard when he first heard about politics. At that time, he felt that this person was suitable for the post of Third Secretary-General. He was a talented person who was good at wealth. In the words of later generations, he had solid economic theory.
Unexpectedly, the third minister actually arrived. It must have been within a month or two.
"I just took up my duties just ten days ago."
He was definitely not urging me to return to the court. That was not the business of the Third Secretary.
Judging from Xue Xiang's appearance, it seemed that he was paying a private visit. He was not wearing official uniform, but dressed as a scholar, and he was the third envoy who had just taken up his duties...
Zhao Xi had a good impression of this person, so he sat down and asked Wang Zhongzheng to pour tea. He also went out to greet the instructors and set up a posture to talk freely.
"Your Highness, Xue Xiang's trip is based on the imperial edict, and he went to various interrogation sites of the country to learn about and record the wool transaction in new coins..."
It's very direct, doesn't talk about what is and isn't, and goes straight to the point.
If he hadn't done enough homework and understood Zhao Xi well, then it was just his nature.
Zhao Xi paused for a moment... Sigh! He really took that new coin seriously. It can't be eaten or drunk, it's just a tool.
But he didn't respond. Xue Xiang probably had more to say.
"Your Highness, I have been sent here for this reason. I have seen it in a shop in Bianliang. The cloth made of woolen yarn is indeed the first choice in bitter cold places."
"Even in the imperial dynasty, the clothes cut from wool for winter are of good quality."
It's really good. If this Xue Xiang hadn't studied psychology, he would be the first person to understand the meaning of Zhao Xi's operation of wool without Zhao Xi's explanation.
"What do you think?"
"Your Highness, whether in Northern Liao or Western Xia, farming has been slack, and grazing is the main focus. If the state's wool takes shape, it will inevitably lead to the trend of raising sheep, making it dependent on the state. I am not exaggerating, this thing can be worth millions of elite soldiers!
"
Xue Xiang was not good at strategy, and he even knew how to govern prefectures and counties.
But he is good at bartering, and he can see the results of many merchants' tricks without having to worry too much.
Regarding the woolen matter, because His Highness the Crown Prince took the lead, he really put his heart into it. The final result of the deduction shocked him.
This was beyond the scope of transactions. Although it was a business matter, he could see that His Highness the Crown Prince was not seeking wealth, but seeking the country.
only……
"Your Highness, with all due respect, before our country improves its armaments, we still need to be wary of the predatory nature of the two northwest dynasties."
Enough, these few sentences are enough.
Regardless of whether Xue Xiang came prepared or unintentionally, based on his few words, Zhao Xi didn't mind treating him as the same as the guard camp.
Not to mention Zhao Xi, even Mr. Lu was shocked by Xue Xiang's remarks.
How should I put it, the ultimate goal of wool weaving is known to only a few of them, that is, the princes in the court.
Obviously, Xue Xiang was not told by his brothers-in-law, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to investigate the wool trading matter.
He saw this himself... This was not easy. They, including the court ministers, only understood it after His Highness the Crown Prince explained it in detail.
