royal robes

Chapter 995

The busiest one is the butler of the East Palace, who has already changed three tables of dishes today.In fact, it doesn't matter if you change some dishes, but today the housekeeper was really surprised. He didn't expect that the East Palace would encounter such an expert advice.If this continues, the future of Nantang is hopeful.

Of course, the mansion under the East Palace has everything available, and a large table of dishes was quickly changed, even the tables and chairs were changed.Because Daoist Wu Yazi almost ignited these things just now.

This is just an additional effect of his use of the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique. If he really wants to use this technique to fight, few people can stand in front of Taoist Wuyazi.

Venerable Bailian sighed: "Master Wu Yazi, I have always known that you did not show real kung fu to compete with this old man, but I really did not expect your martial arts to be so superb, even the peerless martial art of Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue Both, and it seems that your cultivation base is extremely high. If you use the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art, I will have no chance of winning when we meet for the first time. After all, just standing in front of you has already consumed a lot, and it is only enough to output all the strength to protect the body. Barely stay by your side."

Li Hongji said: "That's true... If this continues, even if this king exhausts his energy, it is impossible for me to fight against Daoist Wu Yazi. It seems that only the third brother can fight against Daoist Wu Yazi."

Li Jing was indeed a little surprised by Li Hongji's performance, he never expected that he could stay beside Taoist Priest Wu Yazi, it seemed that his martial arts were really much higher, at least surpassed his own.

Li Jing is not a genius, in fact, he was also an idiot when he was young.In contrast, his younger brother Li Sui was much better off than him in every aspect.

Although Li Jing is not very talented, he is different from Li Hongji in that he understands himself and knows that he is an idiot, so he humbly asks for advice on everything.In the end, Li Jing became a qualified monarch and played a key role in the development of Southern Tang.

But Li Jing knew very well that if an outstanding talent were to become the emperor, perhaps the Southern Tang Dynasty would have already dominated the world.After all, Li Jing is not Guo Wei, so of course he is reluctant to part with his family.

Li Congjia said: "Brother, you should settle the account of Daoist Wu Yazi as soon as possible, and give some more as a deposit by the way. Although the time is not up yet, let Daoist Wu Yazi deal with private matters first, so as not to delay time .According to the sea route and the land route, make the other party wait too long."

Li Hongji nodded and said, "That's fine too. Daoist Wu Yazi, Xiao Wang will present a thousand taels of gold tomorrow, and ask Taoist Wu Yazi to deal with all the affairs as soon as possible. Xiao Wang will wait in Pingzhou, see you soon." .”

"Then thank you, my lord."

Li Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, since Taoist Wu Yazi agreed to go to Pingzhou, then this matter will be settled.Unexpectedly, Li Congjia was quite good, and even knew senior Xiaoyaozi. If it wasn't for this relationship, Daoist Wu Yazi would not want to meddle in this matter.

This kid actually knew this kind of extraterrestrial expert, and he never introduced him.If I introduce myself to him earlier, maybe I can improve myself a little bit.

Of course, Li Jing also estimated that his son did not have this ability.Looking at Taoist Priest Wu Yazi's martial arts, it is estimated that his master Xiao Yaozi is not necessarily inferior to Bu Xiangyang and Yeluzhen. Although he is not well-known in the world, his ability is definitely not inferior to these top masters.

Tian Ya said: "By the way, the agreed ten times commission must not be less."

"You are so rich and you still want money?" Li Congjia knows how much wealth Tianya has. Ten thousand taels of gold is just a drop in the bucket for him, but it is a big expense for the national treasury. He is so rich. Why bother?

Tian Ya said dejectedly: "It's my business that I have money, you don't pay money when you hire people to do things? Besides, did my money come from the wind?"

"Isn't it?" Li Congjia said depressedly: "Is there anyone in the world who makes money more easily than you? Anyway, I don't know."

"No, I agreed to pay. If you don't pay, I won't go." Although Tian Ya is not a stingy person, but he has to do things by himself, why don't they pay?Tianya doesn't care about the money, but he can't lower his worth and help for free.

"I'll give it." Li Jing said anxiously: "Master Wu Yazi is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold. It is an honor to be able to spend such a little money to ask Taoist Master Wu Yazi to help. Cong Jia, why are you talking to Wu Yazi?" The Daoist spoke? Hurry up and be daoqian."

Li Congjia said depressedly: "I'm sorry, Daoist Wu Yazi, I was a little excited just now."

"It's just ten thousand taels of gold, what about you?"

"You don't know the state of the Southern Tang treasury..." Li Congjia had no choice but to hide the fact that the treasury has been empty. The whole world knows it.

After helping to handle the government affairs, Li Congjia also became a bit of a money fan.He is very aware of how tight the national treasury is now. Li Jing is a prodigal son, and the Southern Tang treasury has been squandered by him long ago.If you squeeze it, you can still take out several million taels of silver, but it is far inferior to the treasury of Great Zhou Chai Rong. He should be able to take out tens of millions of taels of silver at any time.

Needless to say, Southern Tang was rich, but the economy was far less prosperous than that of Dazhou, because it was a circulation economy created by Guo Wei and Zong Xin. Although Li Congjia wanted to follow suit, doing so would only increase the burden on the treasury. They didn’t have so many Money makes the economy circulate on such a large scale.

The reason why Da Zhou’s economy is so prosperous is all because of Yan Island, so Li Congjia also thought about attacking Yan Island. Although this will offend many people, if he pretends to be a pirate, it will not cause too many problems.In fact, Li Congjia has already recruited people, not just the Southern Tang forces.

It's a pity that because of Zong Xinqi's clever move back then, he first made public the method of drying salt. As a result, everyone canceled their thoughts on Salt Island. As a result, no one dares to attack now, but they feel itchy.

"How short of money do you really have?" Tian Ya asked curiously, he also wanted to know how much money Nan Tang's treasury had.

Li Congjia said: "Anyway, it's useless for you to ask, and you can't help much. Would you still lend me money?"

"That...of course it's impossible, I still have to ask you for money."

"You can do whatever you like." Li Congjia really didn't know how he could be ashamed to ask others to give money to someone as wealthy as Tianya.

But then again, can I ask others to help without paying?What's more, it is Tianya, it is reasonable to give him ten thousand taels of gold to help him.It's just that Li Congjia was really reluctant to give it... Ten thousand taels of gold is 10 taels of silver. How important is so much money to Nan Tang?How much food can be bought for soldiers?

After the table was officially set, Li Jing poured another glass of wine, then raised his glass and said, "Don't mind the Taoist Master Wu Yazi, this kid is good at everything, but he is a bit of a money fanatic. Taoist Master Wu Yazi's cultivation level, let alone ten Times, even if it is a hundred times a thousand times, it may not be able to invite. The widow respects the Taoist priest in advance, hoping that the Taoist priest will take more trouble along the way, and the dog will be handed over to the Taoist priest. As long as he can be brought back alive, the task is secondary. "

"Pindao must do his best."

The two had a drink, and everyone was very happy, even Li Congjia.Although Tian Ya didn't mind giving him free money, but as long as this mission is successful, the money is well spent.

Li Jing didn't care about this, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, although ten thousand taels of gold was a lot, but he could still afford it.

Now that his son has grown up and is going to perform such a dangerous but important task, he certainly hopes that his son can come back safely and at the same time complete this task.As long as you can do these two things, even if you spend a little more money, you don't care.

After the banquet, each left
Now that the matter has been settled, Li Hongji doesn't need to keep Wu Yazi anymore, so he took advantage of this time to read books at home and learn everything he didn't learn before.Now that their hard training has been completed, there is no need to continue, so the next thing to learn is various knowledge.

Li Hongji really feels that there is not enough time. Now he wants to read more than a dozen books a day, but there are still many things to deal with.

This time is not bad, at least there is no need to entertain Wu Yazi anymore, originally I wanted to invite him to the brothel to spend some money.Although this is a bad habit in the past, sometimes this kind of place is the most suitable place if you want to improve interpersonal relationships.

It's a pity that Li Hongji didn't do this, otherwise Tianya would definitely be addicted, and he wouldn't be able to drive him away when the time comes.

The next day
Li Hongji prepared 3000 taels of gold and handed it over to Wuyazi. 1000 taels was the reward agreed upon in the first half of the year, and the other 2000 taels was the deposit for the second half of the year.Li Hongji knew that a person like Wu Yazi would never break his promise, so he paid the deposit first, as long as he received the money.

With 3000 taels of gold and the pocket money given by Li Hongmao in the past few months, Tianya was rich again.He rode the horse that had sent him to Tanzhou and headed west to leave Jinling.

To go from Jinling to Bianliang City in Kaifeng, this journey will definitely not take ten days and a half months.However, the speed of traveling alone is not slow, and it took seven days to rush from Jinling to Shouzhou.This is where everything happened, so Tian Ya wanted to drop by and take a look.

It was getting late when we arrived in Shouzhou, and we were going to find a place to stay. What Tianya didn't expect was that although Shouzhou had experienced a war, the city was not affected.Moreover, Tianya carried a gold medal personally bestowed by Li Jing on his body, and the territory of Southern Tang was unimpeded, even Shouzhou, which was preparing for the battle, could enter.

Tianya leads the horse and walks on the streets of Shouzhou. This place is still prosperous, without the decadence after the war.

This scene really made Tian Ya's eyes bright. Unexpectedly, the guard of Shouzhou, Liu Renshan, was capable enough to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of strong men, and also kept the city unaffected. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. .

Tian Ya nodded as he walked, feeling that the population here is large, and the city walls are indeed strong, even comparable to Tongguan, which his father attacked back then.

Li Jing knew the importance of Shouzhou, so if the defense here was built well, Li Jing didn't know how much money was spent to build Shouzhou.

Li Jing is indeed an idiot. In fact, he had already expected that Shouzhou would be attacked, so he valued Shouzhou's defense so much.
