Luoyang City was in a state of turmoil all night long. Almost the whole city was searching for monsters. In the end, five of them were hacked to death. However, the ones who died were all small monsters. The big monsters such as White Snake did not show up at all.
Others are still dormant in the city.
"His grandma's fault! He couldn't sleep a wink all night long, and he still had to go to court for ginseng..."
Civil and military officials arrived outside the imperial city one after another. A night rain made the weather cool. The weak people all put on leather waistcoats, and normal people also put on jackets, and some people brought some from home.
Come for breakfast, if you don’t bring anything you can buy it nearby and eat it now.
"Good morning, gentlemen. If you have nothing to eat, please come over and have a bite. You are so spicy..."
Zhao Guanren, who was dressed in court uniform, came on horseback, followed not only by a carriage, but also by servants pushing two steaming dining carts. The servants quickly unloaded folding tables and chairs from the carriages, directly on the square outside the palace gate.
Set up stalls.
"Ouch~ You've come just in time, give me a bowl of noodles quickly..."
King Yujiang trotted over and sat down. He heard a "chila" sound from the dining car, and a strong smell of spicy oil spread everywhere. Many officials sneezed several times, but they were surprised and asked: "What kind of spicy food is this?"
Why is it so annoying?"
"Chaotian pepper! Much more delicious than dogwood..."
Zhao Guanren sat down and took out cigarettes to distribute. People in the Tang Dynasty loved spicy food and sashimi. They would dare to cut a loach into slices for you. However, Chaotian pepper has only been imported for a short time and has not become popular among the people. Moreover, vegetables out of season are basically not available.
Less than green.
"Hey? Mr. Yin, you are so cold, you have eggplants, but you still have cucumbers and lentils..."
Prince Qin picked up a cucumber and took a bite. Only then did everyone realize that there was a cart of fresh vegetables. Zhao Guanren held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile: "Of course they are grown by our Demon Suppressing Division. If you like it, take more. This is a first."
A fresh crop of vegetables!”
"Oh~ this spicy food is so damn enjoyable, so refreshing! So refreshing..."
A military general raised his head and shouted, his face turned red from the spicy food. After hearing the words, all the civil and military officials gathered over. Eating chili peppers on a cold day can ward off the cold. Let's have a bite of crunchy cucumbers and roasted garlic paste.
Eggplant, it almost made a group of people happy.
"Brothers from the Shenwu Army, all come over and have a bite to warm up..."
Zhao Guanren stood up angrily and said hello. The imperial guard guarding the door was already drooling. Hearing this, he immediately ran over and lined up beside the dining car to wait eagerly. Zhao Guanren used his murderous weapon again, using
Tremella and bird's nest soup in a glass bowl.
"Huh? This carved glass bowl is so transparent, it's worth a lot of money..."
"Bang~"
Before a minister could finish his words, King Yujiang was so hot that he broke a bowl. Everyone immediately felt distressed and regretful. Glaze is a by-product of copper smelting. It is considered a luxury product no matter which dynasty it is, let alone a rare one.
frosted glass bowl.
"Uh~ I'm sorry! My hand slipped. How much money will I pay to you..."
King Yujiang rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanren brought out another set, all of which were inferior goods priced at 9 yuan with free shipping. He put them on the table and said with a smile: "A set of six bowls and six plates, please give me the cost price."
, twenty taels of silver will do, and the rest is yours!"
"No! I sincerely offer compensation, please tell me the real price..."
King Yujiang and others did not believe it was so cheap. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanren brought out two more sets, as well as several colorful glasses, and said: "The current output is small, and the price is indeed a bit high. When we can make 500 sets per day,
, the cost will definitely be reduced by half again!”
"Five hundred sets a day? Only ten taels..."
Everyone opened their mouths in horror, and picked up the glass products one after another to look at and knock them. Although the workmanship was not exquisite, the key was that the materials were rare and cheap, but the actual cost was not even a tael of silver.
"Haha~"
King Yujiang suddenly came to his senses, stood up and cursed with a smile: "Well, Mr. Yin, no wonder you dare to promise to turn losses into profits. It turns out that you have secretly hidden such a huge mountain of gold. I am the agent of these glazed bowls. No one can follow me."
King grabs it!"
"It doesn't matter what I said. Who does the emperor say is the right one?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Hey, everyone, hurry up and have your meal..."
Zhao Guanren sat down to eat the soup with a smile, and everyone took glass bowls to serve it in novelty. As a result, when the time came for the palace door to open, no one came in. Everyone gathered around the dining car to feast, and even the eunuchs and guards in the palace ran out.
Look fresh.
"Manager Wei!"
Zhao Guanren suddenly noticed that Chen Guangda had come out. He picked up a set of the most sophisticated glass products, handed it over and said politely: "I would like to ask Mr. Wei to present it to the emperor. This is a new product from the government manufacturing office. A set of twenty taels. If you are kind,
Let’s start work soon!”
"Master Yin! You can't talk nonsense, our family is not the eunuch in charge..."
Chen Guangda got things done in a good tone, and Zhao Guanren deliberately wondered: "Isn't it? Then why did I hear that Gonggong An wanted to... Forget it! There are talented people from generation to generation. When Gonggong An goes to live in old age, you will definitely have to
Take over from him!"
"Ha~ don't believe the rumors, Mr. An is very healthy..."
Chen Guangda waved his hand proudly and asked the guards to carry away two baskets of vegetables. He bowed his hands with the officials before leaving. However, the officials started talking one after another and looked at Chen Guangda differently.
I was stunned before lining up to enter the palace.
"Your Majesty has a decree! Let all officials come to see you..."
Chen Guangda stood in front of the main hall and shouted, and all the civil and military officials were suddenly startled. Someone quickly chased the eunuch and asked: "Why is Eunuch Wei announcing the decree today? Why don't you see Mr. An?"
"Sick!"
A young eunuch deliberately said loudly: "Last night, demons from all directions caused chaos. Manager An went up to the tower to watch in his single clothes. He was frightened and caught in the heavy rain. He fell ill in the middle of the night. The doctor used ginseng soup to prolong his life.
,I don’t know yet…sigh~”
"I see! Mr. Yin is still well-informed, and Manager Wei is still young and powerful..."
The princes and ministers finally realized it and took turns to go up the steps and nod to Chen Guangda. However, this was really not Chen Guangda's poison. Eunuch An was always cautious and could not find a chance to poison him. As a result, he was hit by a heavy rain.
Got off.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."
All the civil and military officials walked into the main hall and knelt down collectively. Zhao Guanren was now a fourth-rank official. He knelt down behind the civil servants, but he had already practiced his cunning skills. He put his hands on the ground and his knees in his robe.
Not touching the ground at all.
"Ping Sheng! If something happens, we will start to fight. If nothing happens, we will retreat..."
Chen Guangda stood under the high platform with a shrill voice. No one noticed that he was a fake eunuch. The old emperor probably didn't sleep for long. He actually sat on the dragon chair and yawned. Fortunately, the officials reported on the demon slaying.
It is no longer boring political affairs.
"Father! The Imperial Master was almost unjustly killed last night, which shows the ignorance of our Master..."
King Yujiang raised his hands and said: "Thanks to Mr. Yin's efforts to turn the tide last night, a catastrophic disaster was avoided. It is really unfair to let him be in charge of the government affairs department. In my opinion, the Demon Suppression Division must be put in charge of him.
Let’s take the second place in government affairs!”
"Things are openly plotting to kill our imperial master. We really need to give them some color..."
The old emperor patted the dragon chair and said: "From now on, Qian Niuwei will be merged into the Demon Suppressing Division to serve as the demon slayer. Then, the major temples will select and send elite mages to serve as the demon slayer. The two complement each other and work together to protect us.
Tang Dynasty, what do you think, all the beloved ministers?"
'Um?'
Zhao Guanren was stunned for a moment, and quickly calculated the pros and cons, but someone immediately said: "Your Majesty! The Demon Suppressing Division should not only protect the safety of our city, but should go deep into other state capitals. Otherwise, the state capitals will not be able to protect themselves and will become a breeding ground for evildoers.
soil!"
"Yeah! What you said is absolutely true..."
The old emperor nodded and said: "Shilang Yin! You can work hard if you are capable. You can't slack off in the government affairs department. You are also fully responsible for the Demon Suppression Department. I will send you a few smart people as assistants. After the dynasty is over, we will work together to draw up a plan."
The charter, the number of personnel required by each state, and the overall planning are all presented one by one!"
"I obey the decree!"
Zhao Guanren went out to salute in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, but the old emperor said again: "The Yutong five-color glazed bowl you just presented, I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I have already seen it, but I think it is inappropriate for such a treasure to be so cheap. Have you all tasted it?"
"Your Majesty! It's really too cheap..."
A prince immediately jumped out and said loudly: "Liu glaze is my unique skill in the Tang Dynasty. Many small countries covet it. Although the low cost is a good thing, selling it at a low price is a waste of treasures. I think that at least
Get five thousand taels!"
"Cough cough cough..."
The old emperor almost spit out his tea as soon as he took a sip of it. Chen Guangda quickly went up to hold the handkerchief for him. The old emperor wiped his mouth and raised his head, giving him an annoyed look.
"Father! It's too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it. If you can't sell it, you have to pay for it. It's the court that's losing money..."
King Yujiang said loudly: "Selling at a low price is a waste of treasures. It is better to invite private investment openly. The merchants will give the most reasonable price if they are looking for profits. They will also invest in expanding the scale, dumping overseas, earning back gold and silver, and strengthening me."
Tang Shengwei doesn’t even need to pay a penny from the court!”
"Um?"
The old emperor was stunned for a moment, then reacted and praised: "Not bad! Excellent! It seems that my son has been studying hard recently and has made great progress. You can also share the worries with Yin Shilang. You will be responsible for the investment.
Recruit everything from the government offices!"
"My son, I accept the decree!"
King Yujiang bowed excitedly, and several other princes looked at Zhao Guanren. He must have come up with this idea, otherwise King Yujiang would not even know what "dumping" meant.
"Prince Ning! Prince Yan! Come forward and listen to the decree..."
The old emperor then said: "The Tubo gang has rebelled against the rebels and disrupted our Tianzhu Road. The rebellious intention has appeared. I order you two to each lead a group of troops to go to Nanzhao and Jiannan to supervise the army respectively to assist the Longyou Road in attacking Tubo.
If there is any change in the Nanzhao Jiedu envoy, you two can kill it first and then report it!"
"My son, take your orders!"
The two princes stepped forward and knelt down excitedly. This was a great achievement for nothing, and it also had the advantage of taking the opportunity to win over the local generals.
"Shilang Yin! Captain Zhang! You two come forward together..."
The old emperor suddenly waved. Zhao Guanren and Xia Buer looked at each other, then walked out and stood together with some confusion.
"You two are from the same sect, and now you both work for the court. You should let go of your small conflicts..."
The old emperor said with a smile: "I want to announce two great things. One is that I will betroth Princess Changle to Zhang Wuji. From now on, he will be Zhang Wuji's son-in-law of our dynasty. He will be given a palace to live with Princess Changle."
Inside Luoyang City!"
"Thank you for your grace, my son-in-law is very grateful..."
"Don't be too eager to be happy. You are not as experienced as your senior brother. I still have to sharpen you..."
The old emperor said loudly: "Zhang Consort! I order you to personally lead three thousand cavalry to the Anxi Protectorate to announce my decree, and assist Zhao Jiedu to go to Tubo to quell the rebellion. We will set out today! When you return in triumph, I and the princess will
I will personally take care of you!"
"I obey the decree! Wuji will definitely live up to the divine grace..."
Xia Buyer knelt down on one knee pretending to be excited. The old emperor nodded and looked at Zhao Guanren again. Zhao Guanren knew that he was going to be the big one. No matter how capable he was, how diligent and loyal he showed, the old emperor and Luo Zhimen behind him
It won't make him feel better.
"Shilang Yin! Last night you turned the tide and killed the four-faced demon, and people all over the city praised you..."
The old emperor smiled and said: "I want to reward you well. I will immediately promote you to the rank of Demon Suppressing Envoy of the Demon Suppressing Division. I will give you the third rank. I will give you the surname Li, make you the Duke of the town, and grant you three thousand households!"
Zhao Guanren was secretly shocked and said: 'Dear boy! I have changed my last name, it seems I am going to make a bigger move!'
"Change Shangqing Temple into your dojo, give it the name of Demon-Suppressing Temple, so that it can receive the incense of believers from all over the world, and you will also be given an ancient soul-suppressing tower..."
"Ancient Soul-Suppressing Tower? Where is it..."
Zhao Guanren raised his head suddenly. Chen Guangda and Xia Buer were also instinctively shocked. They suppressed their emotions and did not show any abnormality. After a while, the old emperor actually had a soul-suppressing tower in his hands, but there was another person at the scene.
He raised his head suddenly and lowered it quickly...
