Chapter 736 Misunderstanding
Wei Jiu naturally didn't know that after he left, the little evil people gathered in the Wei family.
The route he customized for Li Er was from wealth to poverty. It was different from Qianlong's journey to prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was also a very secretive whereabouts. However, at this time he encountered a problem and was trying to escape.
After Li Er arrived in Bazhou, he looked at the city that was far from Liangzhou, the people on the streets, the farmers who were dressed in rags and sighing, and for a moment, Li Er could not bear it. At this time, he grabbed Wei Wuliang and roared.
"Wei Wuliang! Give me a perfect explanation. You keep saying that all the states of the Tang Dynasty are progressing. You call yourself the Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Tang Dynasty. I have asked the toad to prepare imperial edicts and mobilize them to be appointed as the second-rank official position. Is this what you want me to see?"
Chu Suiliang and Yuchi Gong stood behind Li Er with a gloating expression. The two of them went to ask about the people's harvest and life. After feedback to Li Er, the scene appeared in front of them.
Suddenly! Li Er shook Wei Jiu and turned around and kicked Yuchi Gong in the chest, slamming Chu Suiliang's stomach with a punch.
"Laughing? The people are suffering from disaster, are you two laughing?"
Li Er rarely attacked officials, especially civil officials, and very few scolded him, but at this time he could not help but feel angry. The two of them knelt down on their knees. At this time, Wei Jiu could not give Li Er a satisfactory answer. The toad was not serious about the matter and shook his imperial edict at Wei Jiu. This was the reward for Wei Jiu.
Bazhou is indeed very poor and there is no need to develop it. The Wei Family Business Alliance and Qiangui have never considered it here, but! Wei Jiu didn't expect it to be like this, it shouldn't be! It shouldn't be like this at all. Bazhou is not far from Liangzhou, so it is logically impossible.
The route is taken in a staircase shape, which Li Er bears little by little.
"Enter the city! Mr. Li Er, enter the city! There must be something wrong with Bazhou."
"I think you have something wrong with it. All the money has entered your Wei family's stomach."
Li Er's temper came very quickly, and Wei Jiu, who was wronged, also got angry and shouted at the top of his throat.
"Have you entered my Wei family? The money I spent on my fucking Wei family over the years has been less? There are hundreds of counties in the Tang Dynasty, can I stare at them one by one? Ah? Ah? Ah?"
Three tones are constantly increasing the tone.
Li Er was so angry that his eyes were blank. He pulled out the sword from Yuchi Gong's waist and slashed at Wei Jiu.
The mess was in trouble again. Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng and Toad came forward to persuade Li Er. Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin grabbed one of Wei Jiu's ears and persuaded him not to make his majesty angry anymore. Yan Wan'er hid behind Li Tai and whispered to Li Tai to help. Zuo Xuan sighed helplessly.
"Just get used to it. Your Highness, the most urgent task now is to enter the city first to find out the situation in Bazhou."
Wei Jiu shrugged and curled his lips.
"No need to check, Bazhou is very close to Liangzhou. Liangzhou's policies and transformation have made the people and officials here dissatisfied. Then Wang Xinren felt that Bazhou had no need to reform and had no money to make money. Left-handed, you tapped the land with your feet, and it was dry and dusty. It should have been raining for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, Bazhou is putting pressure on the court and waiting for the country to issue an order to let Wang Xinren come over to reform. It is difficult to deal with it."
"Li Qingque, you are the only one who is smart, right?"
Li Er suddenly roared, Li Tai trembled, shouting Zuo Xuan and Cheng Yaojin, Chu Suiliang turned over and shouted to find out, and finally Li Er was lying down in anger. Wei Jiu held Xiaobai and squatted outside the carriage. Both of them were very angry.
Concubine Yin and Qiao Hongli were taking care of Li Er in the carriage, and Concubine Yang sat outside the carriage and looked at Wei Jiu and said softly.
"Your Majesty feels sorry for the people. If you are anxious now, you will inevitably be unable to control your temper. And Duke E, you! You really shouldn't be laughing."
Yuchi Gong scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
"This kick is not unfair. The old minister is going to get thirty military sticks."
He left after he finished speaking, and at this time Li Er's tired voice came from the carriage.
"Forget it, let it go!"
"Can't help! I'll go."
The relationship between Yuchi Gong and Li Er is different from other officials. Among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two military generals who belonged to the retainers, Yuchi Jingde and Hou Junji, and Li Er was also very good to him.
Wei Jiu squatted on the ground and spitted, stood up and lay on Xiaobai, and went to the village outside the city with one tiger. Wei Jiu left, Li Er poked his head out of the carriage and looked at Yang Fei and spoke softly.
"What did this evil go? Why didn't you stop me?"
After hearing this, Concubine Yang looked at Li Er with a wry smile and said with a smile.
"No wonder the Empress told you that you don't need to persuade you to quarrel with Jiuer. Alas! It's okay, Liu Jinwu's big leg has already followed him, so don't worry about him."
"Hmph! I am worried about the people. I have been wise and powerful for half my life. Since this evil man came back from Yangzhou, he has looked down on me and despised me as a local bun. Concubine Yang Yin Concubine, you two say, I am a local bun?"
The second girl laughed. At this time, Li Er suddenly thought of something, turned around and shouted at his daughter-in-law Yang Jia, and asked angrily why she was here too. Will Li Ke's little bastard come too? Yang Jia pretended to be stupid and shook her head.
"Not."
Wei Jiu walked into the village on Xiaobai's back, which immediately attracted the attention of the merchants. White tigers were very rare, especially this huge white tiger. The young man lying on his back was luxuriously dressed. The jade pendant on his waist was enough to let the merchants live for a few years.
Baihu was very quiet, as if he felt that the "dad" on his back was not in a good mood. At this time, he was also walking slowly with his head hanging down. After walking for a long time, Wei Jiu spoke to the merchants.
"Tell me, why are you so poor? Come and talk! This marquis can't hear clearly."
Oh my god? Marquis?
No one doubted whether this person was true or not. There was a youngest marquis in the Tang Dynasty who raised a white tiger.
The merchants knelt down and saluted, and Wei Jiu lay on Xiaobai's back and hummed.
"The Tang Dynasty does not pay attention to the ritual of kneeling and worshipping. Tell me, why are you so poor?"
An old man similar to the village chief stood up and looked at Wei Jiu and complained.
"Marty! We are not poor, the city has poor talents, and we can drink every meal."
Um?
Wei Jiu got up and jumped off the tiger's back, tilted her head and asked.
"Old man, isn't there an official who comes to ask you about being poor?"
"Didn't ask me? Our village is the richest in Bazhou. There are all kinds of meanings. The strong men in the family went to Liangzhou to work. There is a lot of money in a year. Marquis, we haven't seen any officials."
The old man didn't seem to be lying. At this time, a man was squeezed out from the crowd, who was in his forties, dressed in rags, and whispered to the village chief with yellow teeth.
"I...I met two foreigners and asked me if I am poor, I am poor!"
"Ph! You are poor because you are lazy."
"I'm lazy and I don't have a wife."
Wei Jiu understood that there were several such people in every village, but the old man’s words cannot be ignored. They are endless and the people in Bazhou City are poor, which is a bit interesting. I hugged the old man’s shoulder and communicated briefly for a while.
Bazhou is indeed much worse this year than in previous years, mainly because of the drought of land, but it will not be hungry. As for the poor in the city, there is a reason. These officials are really as Li Tai said, but they are not putting pressure on the country, but because the wealthy families in Bazhou do not agree to the reform, which will impact their business. Bazhou also wants to follow Liangzhou to carry out reforms.
At the same time, Li Tai also got the answer.
