The key is what you want is not good, you want the Indochina Peninsula, especially the resources and land in this place are related to the industrial operation and food security of the entire Tang Dynasty, so the governor of this place can easily ask for it?

Feng An was also dumbfounded at the moment, what's the matter, why are the faces of the two opposites so ugly, could it be that he really made a wrong bet this time?

But isn't it just a place outside of culture, why is it so important?I have come here with sincerity!

Li Shimin didn't bother to play any jokes about knowing each other, his tone became like counting nine winters, and he sprayed a stream of ice scum directly on people's faces,

"Feng An, I don't know whether you are old-fashioned or have taken the courage of the bear, but just because you dare to come here to play, I have reason to believe that you are the emperor of the south of the Five Ridges. It's been a long time, and my brain is not working!"

Feng Ang broke out in cold sweat in an instant. He didn't care about anything else at the moment, and immediately knelt down. He knew that Li Shimin could not continue talking at this moment. As soon as the golden words come out, from today on, he, Feng An, or the entire Feng family will have to be completely wiped out.

Therefore, even though he knew that interrupting Li Shimin's speech was a very offensive thing, Feng An didn't care about it right now, and shouted profusely in sweat,

"Your Majesty, listen to Weichen's explanation. Maybe Weichen has selfish intentions and wants to develop my old Feng family, but Weichen didn't think about doing anything bad. The supplies brought by the fleet this time are actually just supplies for the next replenishment. Weichen just brought a few boats from the family to come together!"

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. In fact, he really didn't want to cause any troubles. Although the old man Feng An was a bit unreliable, he had to say that his reputation in Lingnan was quite good. .

This Lingnan has only been stable for a few years, if he just finds a reason to destroy the old Feng's family, then there may be troubles in Lingnan.

But before Li Shimin spoke, Zhang Nuo spoke first.

"Old Feng, you get up first, there is no one else here, and I can guarantee that no one else will hear the conversation at this moment, you probably know my reputation, I am not the kind who likes to deceive people.

So, this king wants you to tell the truth at this moment, why did you come here, and what do you want to get! "

"You honestly and completely tell the king what you think, and explain it clearly, and then the rest will be judged by His Majesty and the king!"

After Zhang Nuo finished speaking, Li Shimin also spoke,

"That's right, Feng An, what on earth are you thinking? Go directly to me to find an important official here? I remember that you were not such a greedy person before? What do you think, or do you plan to be in the Indochinese Peninsula?" Rediscover the prestige of your local emperor?"

If Zhang Nuo's words are reassuring Feng An, then Li Shimin's words are embarrassing. What is the earth emperor? Old Feng, I am wronged!

Chapter 880 The Embarrassing Truth

No matter how stupid Feng An is at this moment, he understands that he has definitely misunderstood what is going on here. In all likelihood, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have some special arrangements for this place, or there are some things here that are very worthwhile. That's why they are so sensitive to the fact that they came out to ask for an official.

Because according to his understanding of Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, if they hadn't committed some taboo, these two would never have threatened him so much.

Therefore, Feng An didn't have any other ideas at the moment, what he had to admit was to admit, the so-called standing at attention when he was beaten was just trying to escape.

The kind of stubbornness that gets into trouble and dies is definitely not the quality that an old guy like Feng An should have.

For Feng An, this scene in front of him may be the last chance to pull the old Feng family out of the abyss, if he doesn't seize it again, it will be gone!

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I really didn't think too much about Lao Feng. I know that His Majesty will go to the Central and South countries in person. Naturally, there are various arrangements in it, but Lao Feng, I really want to come to the north from Lingnan now. There are more and more families, and the competition is getting fiercer!"

"Old Feng, I just thought, instead of fighting for financial resources with those big and wealthy merchants in Lingnan, it's better to come here to fight. , or when you are not brave enough, just come and share a piece of the pie!"

"Old Feng, what I want is land and slaves. It's still the same as before in Lingnan. The main thing is to grow some rubber and other things, and then continue to sell them to His Highness King Qin!"

"As for the matter of the governor, it's entirely because Lao Feng thinks that I can be admired by His Majesty and His Highness now, and I only have such a little experience in Lingnan back then, so I made a fool of myself! Feng, I really don't care!"

"After all, Lao Feng, I don't intend to rebel, and I don't intend to make a fortune. I don't care whoever is the governor, Lao Feng. I, Lao Feng, use myself as a bargaining chip. After all, I think this ghost place is farther than Lingnan. No one should want to come!"

Feng An almost burst into tears when he said the last, because these are his sincere words, he really felt that even Lingnan was regarded as a place of exile in the past.

Even though the transportation is much more convenient nowadays, everyone still takes pride in being a Beijing official. After all, it is not a joke for a Beijing official to see a senior official. A little closer.

Even with the telegram now, the transmission of news is many times faster than before, but if you are closer to the capital, you may run into a big boss who is out on business at any time, or even run into your Majesty or His Royal Highness King Qin for a private visit. Not surprising.

How far away is Lingnan?Except for those who have something to do there, who would go thousands of miles away for nothing?

What's more, there is a trick in the officialdom. Everyone knows that if you want to be promoted, you must make achievements in the local area, and on the other hand, let your achievements be known to the big bosses above.

But those who are close can come to the boss from time to time to report work and thoughts to the boss, and those who are far away rarely come back once a year, so who do you think will be promoted first?

Therefore, in Feng An's view, even others in Lingnan are unwilling to go, so he volunteered to come to Indochina Peninsula to be the governor, isn't it just to repay Li Shimin? After all, this place has high mountains and long roads, and the climate is hot. come.

Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be a little dumbfounded.

It seems that they are too sensitive!

The main reason is that they just designated this place as Li Chengqian's "experience dungeon", and then someone came to snatch the site.

At that moment, there was only one thought in their minds, are you trying to steal my son's (apprentice) territory?kill you!

I didn't expect that, in fact, if they hadn't forced Li Chengqian to come, most people would not be willing to come to this ghostly place!

Of course, it doesn’t mean that no one will come. After all, the opportunity to be in charge of one party is still very rare, especially for some younger officials. As long as they stay in this place for a few years, their qualifications will be very good. Many, when the time comes to find a way to transfer to the court, according to the usual practice, they will all be promoted to a higher level.

It's just that there are too few people who are qualified to be the governor and are willing to come here.

Zhang Nuo raised his chin slightly towards Li Shimin, the meaning was very obvious, this man is your subject, you can handle it, I am just an idler.

Li Shimin immediately felt bad, what do you mean, when we scolded people just now, we were the ones scolding together, why did I do it all by myself?

Zhang Nuo suddenly became unhappy, what is it?I come?Are you mistaken, can I appoint someone to be the governor?Why are you the emperor, okay? They all work for you!

Relying on years of familiarity, the two completed a wave of communication in a very short period of time with their eyes and subtle expressions, and then Li Shimin was persuaded.

Why, it's very simple, Zhang Nuo will pretend to be dead, anyway, his friendship with Feng An is just like that, so in the end, Li Shimin should be blamed?So he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead!

Li Shimin sighed slightly, and then looked at Feng An, who was full of grievances, and his brain was buzzing. After sighing slightly, Li Shimin finally decided to be clear. Old and honest, he has always supported various policies on his side, so he can't be killed in such a muddleheaded manner.

"Feng Aiqing, let me tell you the truth, this place itself is indeed a place beyond human civilization. If Datang didn't need the rubber, grain and some other resources here, there is no need for us to go all out to grab this place at this time. Site!"

"But just before you came in, I and the King of Qin had just made a decision to regard this as the first place where Chengqian governed alone. So, when you spoke, we both immediately thought that you were here to rob Chengqian. Territory!"

"After all, as a father, and King Qin as Chengqian's master, what I think of at this time is not whether it is far or not. Our first thought is that this land is for Chengqian!"

"So, Feng Aiqing can understand the excitement between me and King Qin just now. Of course, I have to apologize to you here, because I and King Qin were too sensitive just now, sorry!"

Chapter 881 Reached a Consensus

Li Shimin doesn't say anything else, but he is indeed the kind of person who can afford it and let it go.In his opinion, he and Zhang Nuo had wronged someone, so he just apologized, and he definitely had the guts for this.

Of course, the sweat on Feng An's forehead is not dry yet, how could he really be saluted by these two big men? Take it out on him?

So Feng An bowed and saluted very sincerely, and said honestly,

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please don't hurt this old minister. I am also a father myself, so I naturally know what Your Majesty and Your Highness thought before. That is what is for my children, and that is for my children, even if it looks inconspicuous. But you can't let other people touch it, this is actually the same for everyone, so the old minister understands it very well, but the old minister is too Meng Lang!"

Well, Feng An is sincere to the extreme, but there is some sincerity in these words, but it is indeed a step for both parties.Otherwise, I don't know how this matter will end, and everyone will be embarrassed.

They are all old fritters. Seeing that the previous misunderstanding has been resolved, they will not continue to talk about these things. Instead, a few people chatted about some wars here.

Even though Feng An didn't know much about the new army, his years of rich combat experience in the south of the Five Ridges allowed him to sum up a lot of experience in tropical jungle warfare. This conversation really gave Li Shimin And Zhang Nuo many surprises.

The atmosphere between the three of them also slowly eased down, at least laughter could be heard.

But Zhang Nuo suddenly came up with an idea. After looking at Li Shimin, Zhang Nuo thought about it for a while, instead of saying hello to him, he took the initiative to say,

"Old Feng, this place is supposed to be the place we arranged for Cheng Qian to practice in the next few years, but in fact Cheng Qian will only stay here for three to five years at most!"

"Here, I have an idea. Why don't you, Old Feng, be Cheng Qian's deputy for a few years? After all, among the people around Cheng Qian, it seems that there is really not much experience in governing in the local area!"

"This place seems to be vulnerable, but the difficulty of management is probably higher than that of Lingnan. So, I hope that you, Old Feng, can help!"

Having said that, Zhang Nuo paused for a moment, bowed his head and thought for a while, then continued,

"Of course, this king will not let you help for nothing. You came here this time to transfer the family business and make more money for the family. This king still has some experience in this regard. Let's talk about it in detail at that time. I dare not say too much, but at least it won't make you suffer!"

When I heard what Zhang Nuo said before, Feng An appeared to be serious on the surface, but in fact he was so quiet that he even wanted to complain. After all, he just said that he wanted to be the governor and was almost killed by others. Now he found out that Old Feng, I'm fine, turned around and asked me to give Li Chengqian a stinky foot again?

What does it mean to be a deputy?To put it bluntly, it means that all the dirty work has to be done, but the benefits all belong to Li Chengqian. Isn't this just playing me, Lao Feng, like a monkey? Don't do it!

But when he heard the following paragraph, Lao Feng instantly felt that it smells so good!

Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, just relying on Zhang Nuo's condition, Feng An instantly felt that it was really nothing to be a coolie for a few years. After all, he was doing his best for the country, and he also shouldered the responsibility of cultivating the next generation of successors of the Tang Dynasty. It should be a mainstay like Lao Feng and me.Of course, it happens to be able to take care of your own property!

"Your Highness, you are flattering me, Old Feng, by saying that. However, since Your Highness has already spoken, I will obey Old Feng. Don't worry, during the past few years His Royal Highness has been in Zhongnan Road, I will definitely do my best for Old Feng. Do your best!"

Zhang Nuo nodded with a smile, that's all right, with Lao Feng's words, Zhang Nuo has an explanation to his little apprentice. If not, he was afraid that Li Chengqian would collapse.

Then it would be self-defeating.Moreover, if Cheng Qian is not arranged for an experienced assistant, with the current character of that kid, maybe he will come to him screaming at that time, so if he is still playing with wool, isn't this causing trouble for himself?

So, old Feng, come on, look after you!

Seeing that Zhang Nuo and Feng An had settled down, Li Shimin didn't say much. He has always been that kind of strict father. Since he nodded and let Li Chengqian come here to practice, he would never withdraw his decision. The kind that Li Chengqian has to bear life and death.

Regarding Zhang Nuo's arrangement, he might feel good in his heart, but he would never take the initiative to say a word, so he just pretended he didn't hear it.

As for objecting, that's not okay, he still understands that this matter is good for Li Chengqian, so he will find a reason to comfort himself.

That's right, it was arranged for him by Chengqian's master and uncle. It was a deal between him and Feng An. It has nothing to do with us, so we don't support or oppose it, um, yes, that's it.

After a wave of self-hypnosis by Li Shimin, the three of them turned around and chatted about some other things, mainly about the situation on the Indochina Peninsula.

For Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, in fact, although it takes time, energy, and thought to go to the Indochina Peninsula, the pressure in their hearts is really not that great.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the two of them have been fighting for a long time, and they have seen this kind of thing too much, and there is really nothing new to watch, as long as they don't take it lightly and make any mistakes.

On the other hand, it is naturally because Datang is no longer in the same dimension for all the countries here, no matter in terms of military strength or national strength.To put it bluntly, it is already a blow to dimensionality reduction, so what else do you need to worry about?

Instead of worrying about this, they might as well think about how to manage it in the future. It's impossible to leave everything to Li Chengqian to figure it out, so if something goes wrong, don't they still have to wipe their ass?

Therefore, taking advantage of Feng An, Li Chengqian's deputy in the future, the three of them talked about the future governance policy regarding the situation on the Indochina Peninsula.

Feng An did have experience in this regard.In his opinion, the Tang army is still too benevolent now. Although Feng An's reputation in Lingnan is quite good, in fact he has blood on his hands.

In his opinion, if those stupid monkey-like savages are not hurt, they don't even know how far they are from Datang.

For this idea, Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo actually supported it, even if they needed slaves, they would not be soft at this time, stability overwhelmed everything!

Chapter 882 Morning in the Palace

Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo were both feeding mosquitoes and basking in the sun in the Indochina Peninsula, but Chang'an City did not cause any disturbances because of the master's departure. It seemed that it made no difference whether the master was there or not.

Officials still go out early and return late to run between various yamen. They are dizzy due to the pressure of a large number of official duties, but they never get tired of it!

The merchants are still penny-pinching and greet every customer in the store every day, and add some small things to their wealth from everyone's pockets by the way!

The common people still go out early and return late happily, doing small business, and going to work, everyone seems to have their own gains and surprises.

For these people, it really doesn't matter whether the emperor is in that palace or not. After all, that level is too far away from them, so far away that they can't feel the existence at all.

For them, the most practical thing is their daily work and daily life. They worry about the anecdotes and anecdotes in the market. The food, rice, oil and salt at home are all they have in life. As for where the emperor has gone, what is he doing? ?

But they don't care, but there is still a group of people who care about it, that is, the group of people in the palace.

Speaking of it, the current imperial palace has gradually changed a lot from the simple home of the emperor's family and the office of the emperor and ministers.

Not only has the palace been refurbished, but it has undergone a series of modernization and electrification. At the same time, the decoration has also changed a lot. After all, the light and ventilation of the previous palace is unbearable. It is comfortable and comfortable outside. After returning to the palace, he found that as an emperor, his living was not as good as that of ordinary businessmen outside. It would be no wonder if Lao Li could bear it.

What's more, the royal family is not short of money now, so it is natural to find Zhang Nuo, and then bring the queen, Li Chengqian and several noble concubines together. After several days of discussion, the reconstruction plan for the palace is finalized.

Of course, the renovation of the imperial palace is far from being as simple as renovation and decoration. The most important thing is the adjustment of functions and layout.

After all, as the emperor, empress, and concubines in the harem have their own jobs, there will be too many people coming in and out. Even if they are court ladies and servants, it is a bit inconvenient to go back and forth to the harem all the time.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, Lao Li further narrowed down the scope of the harem, and then picked out several palaces to redecorate and use them as special offices for his wives and wives.

This place is like their office during the day, where they do their work, eat, and rest. After getting off work at night, they return to the real harem area behind to rest.

After adjustments and reconstructions, the palace is much better than before, at least in terms of comfort and functionality. In the past, Lao Li was a poor man. His own palace was leaking and he didn’t have the money to repair it. .

But in the past few years, Lao Li has so much money that he almost has no place to put it. If it weren't for the Datang Royal Bank, Lao Li would have to think of ways to build a few warehouses.

Lao Li, who has money, will naturally not treat himself badly, so the palace began to be rebuilt very early, just because there are too many palaces involved, and because the palace itself is in the palace, there are many requirements and rules, so the reconstruction The speed is naturally much slower than that of ordinary houses.Therefore, it was not really finished until last year.

After the reconstruction of the palace, the residents who experienced the deepest experience are naturally the residents inside. Those concubines, princes and princesses who can't go out to play around on weekdays have really experienced the comfort and comfort brought by technology in recent years. convenient.

Normally, the palace was clean. After all, no matter how it was changed, it was still a place where the emperor's family lived, and there were still rules that should be there.

But today is a bit different. Early in the morning, a group of princes walked towards Lixiu Palace with solemn faces.

Lixiu Palace has been the queen's bedroom from the very beginning. Now, although the palace is being remodeled everywhere, this palace is the last to be rebuilt. This is also the method of Empress Changsun. After all, a remodel has gone through several years. Whoever changes first will naturally enjoy it first. , then there is a university question in this order.

Not to mention that it also involved the status issue in the harem. At that time, Li Shimin had a headache for a long time. Finally, Empress Changsun made a decision. Anyway, what should happen to the others after her final change.

Well, everyone is embarrassed to mess around again after doing this, after all, the queen's posture is here, and she put herself at the end to change it, so you still have to fight for the first place?

Not to mention, the fight is still going on, but in the past it was a fight over who should change first, but now it's changed to fight with each other who will change later. After all, the queens are ranked last, so it's better to learn from the queen and carry forward the style. At best, it's nothing more than living again It's just a year or two old house, and no matter how despised this old house is, it's still a palace in the palace, okay?

Empress Changsun didn't bother with those matters, she just had to wait for the outcome of their quarrel and nod her head in agreement.

Having said that, although Empress Changsun's Lixiu Palace was indeed the last one to be rebuilt, who is she? She is the real empress of the world, and she is not the kind of empress who is put in danger by some harem concubines. She and Li Shimin The relationship between them was a true husband and wife relationship, and now she herself is in control of the power, and the entire royal property is in her hands.

Under such conditions, who would dare to make the slightest mistake in the reconstruction of Lixiu Palace?Even if you think your life is too long.

Therefore, although the current Empress Changsun has been delayed for a year or two, in fact, the Lixiu Palace where she lives has become the most comfortable and also the most comfortable palace in the entire palace!
