Several days have passed since Ronggui's incident, and temporary reinforcements have been made to Luoyang's river embankment.
"Uncle Five Emperors, this is the plan sent by the river workers. It is not suitable to build the river embankment now. There will be rain in summer and the water level is high. It is recommended to rebuild this section in winter. There is no farm work in winter and there is enough labor.
It can be used!" Li Chengqian stood at the bottom and reported.
Li Yuanxing just nodded slightly in recognition.
"Your Highness, King Qin, the fields that cross the water have been drained in time. Except for the more than 10,000 acres closest to the river, which will have no harvest, the rest of the fields will have a reduction in production, but not too much. There will definitely not be a bumper harvest today. There should be tax exemptions for major disasters.
, is it the last request for tax exemption for Henan? Please indicate it to His Highness the King of Qin!" Changsun Chong was reporting, secretly looking at Li Yuanxing's face.
"Tax reduction!" Li Yuanxing gently knocked on the table in front of him, thinking.
Changsun Chong added: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, should reduce taxes so that the people of Luoyang can feel the grace of the court!"
"When you put the seal on the table, you just say what I mean, not to reduce taxes. The agricultural taxes harvested in the summer will be collected in the autumn. There is no need to explain to the people. I just say that this seal was issued by me. What should I plant after the summer harvest?
The king has his own arrangements. There is no need to discuss it further!" Li Yuanxing made a decision and did not even allow the issue to be discussed further.
Changsun Chong could only respond and step aside.
"Your Highness, there is a backlog of thousands of Xihang merchants in Luoyang, and the price of warehouses has tripled. The docks must be repaired urgently, and now only less than 30% of the original docks can be shipped!"
"Go and arrange the rhythm of loading and unloading goods. I have seen the docks and there is no problem in doubling the transportation capacity. After repairing a few docks and making good arrangements, the previous transportation capacity can be restored. The docks with the most serious damage,
Wait for the materials to be shipped from Chang'an, and spend the whole winter building a huge dock!"
Cui Yujie bowed and said, "Understood, can you deploy two hundred sergeants to maintain order at the dock?"
"That's right!"
After arranging the little guy from the General Staff Council, Li Yuanxing went to Qu Tutong's residence again.
Qu Tutong was still unable to get out of bed. His body was so weak that he needed help even if he wanted to sit up.
"Your Highness, transfer my son to Liaodong!" Qu Tutong retired the servant and grabbed Li Yuanxing's hand and said.
"Why?"
"They are too straightforward. I know some things about Luoyang, but they can't fight against those civil servants. And my Qu Tu family is a military general, not suitable for civil administration." Qu Tutong could only say that he was sick of Qi, that is, he was killed by the young master of Luoyang Mansion.
Yin is angry, such words are not something a general would say casually. If you have any grudges, you must avenge yourself.
Even if Qu Tutong didn't talk about it, Li Yuanxing also knew what happened in Luoyang.
"Stay here, I will protect you!" This was Li Yuanxing's promise, and it was a very formal promise.
"Let them fly by themselves, and Your Highness will keep them for a while. Aren't their descendants useless? Go to Liaodong and do what a general should do there, mount a war horse and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, I, Qu Tu,
Our ancestors lived in Liaodong, so this can be considered a return to our hometown!"
Qu Tutong spoke very slowly, always observing Li Yuanxing's reaction.
"Okay!" Li Yuanxing sighed: "How about letting them follow Lao Cheng. If they have enough achievements, I will let them take charge of another state."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Tutong shook Li Yuanxing's hand vigorously.
Li Yuanxing patted the back of Qu Tutong's hand: "General Qu, please rest in peace and recuperate. I will come to visit you tomorrow!"
"His Royal Highness has a heavy workload and doesn't have to come every day. I can't bear it!"
"Rest in peace!"
After leaving Qu Tutong's house, Li Yuanxing and Sun Laodao met in the garden outside the house: "Old Sun, are you unable to save yourself?"
"Twenty days at most. Even if there is a miracle, it will only last more than thirty days. Medicine and stone are already useless." Sun Laodao also sighed softly. Besides, having seen through life and death, Qu Tutong can be regarded as the pillar of the country.
Li Yuanxing also understood, and nodded and said: "Old Sun, please go back to Chang'an tomorrow. By the way, I will hand over a seal to the king and ask for a title for General Qu. It is my intention to make a founding father!"
"Is this a sad look?"
"No, this is recognition of his many years of fighting for the Tang Dynasty, so the seal must be completed while he is alive. You only need to be responsible for bringing the seal back, and Cui Dunli will handle the rest."
After Li Yuanxing finished his instructions, Sun Laodao just nodded.
The next day, Li Yuanxing personally escorted Sun Laodao out of the city, and also arranged for sixteen of the Qin Prince's guards to return to Chang'an. Sun Laodao was carrying a seal for Qu Tutong's request, while the sixteen knights were dispatching troops.
Li Yuanxing ordered Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda to set off immediately and change defenses in Liaodong.
Yaozhou was handed over to Yuchi Gong for guarding.
At the same time, Li Yuanxing also gave Li Er a certificate, requesting that Li Zhengbao, the surrendered general of Shuofang, be transferred to guard Luoyang. Lao Lang was named a general and served as Li Zhengbao's deputy as a fourth-grade military attaché. Li Zhengbao could choose thirty of the surrendered generals of Shuofang.
The military attache came to Luoyang together and asked to re-select Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin!
"Your Highness, Li Zhengbao is a surrendered general!" Cui Yiye whispered beside Li Yuanxing.
"Relegated generals can also be used. Li Zhengbao has no foundation in the Tang Dynasty. There is an old wolf here to watch. He can only be loyal to the royal family. I think he will not be dragged into a trap." Li Yuanxing said with confidence.
Cui Yiye added: "Your Highness should give General Qin a letter!"
"No, if Brother Shubao thinks there is something wrong with Li Zhengbao, he will naturally send someone over. Just handle the government affairs with peace of mind!"
After Li Yuanxing gave the instructions, he returned to the courtyard and stood in front of the garden in a daze for half an hour.
What is Li Yuanxing struggling with?
Because he is going back to modern times tonight. Going back to modern times from Luoyang is not a problem, it is just a problem of greater energy consumption than before. What really needs to be entangled is what he brings back from modern times this time, whether it is grain, seeds, or other things.
Li Yuanxing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable without Wu Zhao making a list of things.
And another thing that needs to be tangled is.
Who will guard that night? Lao Lang is reliable, but Lao Lang is still patrolling the counties at this time. In particular, Li Yuanxing asked to check the military establishment of each county to see if there are any fabrications and whether there are any mismanagement issues.
In fact, speaking of it, there is nothing that the people around Prince Qin cannot trust.
But guarding is a kind of recognition. No matter who you choose, it will make them think differently. At least they will think that they are more trusted and have a higher status.
After much thought, Li Yuanxing finally made up his mind.
"Yuyan, are you in the room?" Li Yuanxing gently knocked on Wang Yuyan's door.
"Your Highness!" Wang Yuyan had an expression of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that Li Yuanxing would be free to come back to the backyard during the day. In the morning, she heard that Li Yuanxing was out of town.
Li Yuanxing sat on a chair and motioned to Wang Yuyan's two maids to go out first.
"Your Highness!" Wang Yuyan's tone was a little more nervous.
Li Yuanxing breathed out softly: "Tonight..." Li Yuanxing was thinking about how to speak. He didn't know what kind of reaction Wang Yuyan would have. Looking at Wang Yuyan again, his face was full of expectations, looking forward to him.
Keep talking. It seems that something special will happen at night.
"Tonight, I am going back to heaven."
Wang Yuyan nodded. She had time to calculate, and it was tonight.
Li Yuanxing added: "I hope that you can wait for me in the study at night. I will come back in two hours. Although I don't need anyone to protect me, I need someone to help me with some things, such as this time
When I return to heaven, I should bring something back. After I bring my things back, I naturally need to make a list."
Wang Yuyan clasped his hands together and placed them on his chest, his eyes were shining, and he just nodded vigorously.
"Silly girl!" Li Yuanxing smiled and touched Wang Yuyan's face.
How could Wang Yuyan not be excited?
Among Qin Wangzhuang, Wu Zhao was the only one who waited in the study when Li Yuanxing returned to heaven. Now that she has this qualification, does it mean that His Highness King Qin has singled out herself, or will other princesses also have this qualification in the future?
.
No matter which one it is, Wang Yuyan will be more excited.
Wang Yuyan followed Li Yuanxing to the study. He first watched Li Yuanxing draw a square box on the ground, and then heard Li Yuanxing say: "Remember, after I leave, I will be within this box when I come back.
You will definitely come back with a lot of stuff, so don’t go near this box or I’ll hurt you!”
"Yu Yan has written it down!"
Wang Yuyan's big eyes blinked, becoming more and more cute.
"Yuyan, what do you think Luoyang needs most now?" Li Yuanxing asked at this time.
Li Yuanxing is not without ideas, but Luoyang needs too many things, and what he can bring is limited, so he would like to hear Wang Yuyan's opinion, what does Luoyang need most?
After Wang Yuyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, he raised his head and said very seriously: "Your Highness, I don't think I need anything. I know that Your Highness doesn't bring much every time, so whatever Luoyang really needs, it must be very large.
The quantity, when there is only a few, is worse than none.”
"Continue!" Li Yuanxing was very interested in Wang Yuyan's theory.
Li Yuanxing thought about bringing something, but he never thought about what would happen if he didn't bring anything.
Wang Yuyan continued: "It is better to help yourself than to ask others to help you. Those in Luoyang who asked for help were actually rich counties and wealthy households. The poorer counties did not ask for much supplies. So I thought, Luoyang, what?
No need!"
"That's great. Your suggestion is really good. So, what do you want?"
Hearing that Li Yuanxing actually agreed to his proposal, Wang Yuyan had a look of surprise on his face. He held Li Yuanxing's hand and didn't know what his expression should be, whether he should laugh or thank Li Yuanxing for listening to his suggestion.
Li Yuanxing asked again: "What do you want, tell me, and I will bring it to you if possible!"
"I want to..." Wang Yuyan blushed and whispered a few words in Li Yuanxing's ear. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
