Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77 78 Was Subdued by a Woman
In the following time, Lu Dongzan, like Zuo Ming, perfectly interpreted the tortoise's way of life.

Even after recovering from his foot injury, Lu Dongzan never took a step out of the West Station, and even his courtyard was guarded day and night by a large group of Tibetans.

Lu Dongzan chose to shrink back so hopelessly, Zuo Ming had nothing to do with him for a while.I had no choice but to instruct the crown prince Li Chengqian to send someone to keep watching Lu Dongzan so that he would not be allowed to see His Majesty. Then on the third day, he took Li Zhi and walked towards Yong'an County.

But on the way, Zuo Ming met a man whom he hadn't seen for a long time——Li Daoyan!

When the prince's class teacher returned to the court, he had already reported Li Daoyan's series of crimes to Li Shimin through the court meeting, and the punishment for him was also issued early.

Li Shimin had always been tolerant towards the clan, so even if he made such a big mistake, Li Daoyan would only be guilty of Leizhou in the end.

However, Li Daoyan obviously didn't want to leave Chang'an, so he played a family card with Li Shimin in the following time, kneeling in front of his father Li Shentong's grave for nearly seven days.

However, his series of actions ultimately ended in failure.Because he did not leave Chang'an, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to explain to the families of the tens of thousands of soldiers, nor to the officials.

In desperation, he had no choice but to get up and go to Leizhou with his family. Li Daoyan was naturally in a bad mood.

When he was in Minzhou before, it was not difficult to go back to Chang'an, but now that he has gone to Leizhou, far away from Middle Earth, he fears that he will never return in his lifetime.

"You bastards! Why don't you act faster! Damn it! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up where I am today! You bastard bastards!"

He kicked hard on a Tuyuhun slave who was carrying his belongings. While cursing, Li Daoyan walked to the carriage and checked his own belongings, wanting to see if there was anything missing.

And at this moment, a slightly mocking voice sounded from not far away and reached his ears.

"Hey! Isn't this Li Zongbing? Why did you get so angry so early in the morning?"

The person who came was naturally Zuo Ming who happened to be passing by.He didn't intend to greet Li Daoyan at first, but Li Daoyan's words made him very annoyed.

Zuo Ming really looked down on Li Daoyan, he made a mistake, but shifted the responsibility to others.He also said nonsense that "if it weren't for you, how could I have fallen into the current situation", are you going to plunder other people's cattle and sheep, or are they begging you?

"Zuo Ming! Don't be complacent! You have robbed Hejian County King Li Xiaogong's shipbuilding management right, and he will not let you go!"

Seeing Zuo Ming, Li Daoyan's expression was also extremely ugly.Although there is no direct reason for Zuo Ming and his being demoted, he still hates Zuo Ming if he is so extreme.

His hatred of Zuo Ming is also very strange. He thinks Zuo Ming shouldn't have invented such a thing as artillery. Without such a thing, Li Shimin would not have marched west. Artillery, not to mention the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers.

This kind of thinking is very unreasonable, but he really thinks so.

For a person like Li Daoyan, if everyone in the world is wrong, he will never be wrong.

After hearing this, Zuo Ming finally came to a realization. He said why Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong seemed to dislike him. It turned out that it was a word of money.

As the governor of Yangzhou, Li Xiaogong ruled the Jianghuai and Lingnan areas, so it can be said that he has great power.But unlike other clans, he was good at doing business, so he had to start a business on the water.

And the most profitable thing is shipbuilding.

Zuo Ming still needs to hire craftsmen and pay labor costs to build a ship, but Li Xiaogong doesn't have such a trouble. He has always been on good terms with the three major families in the southeast.In addition, his shipyards are all located in the southwest, with local conditions and endless timber, so his shipyards can be said to be a costless business.

This kind of purely profitable business is naturally a source of wealth. With this source of income, Li Xiaogong's family has grown more and more. Although he is not like Feng An, who usually has ten thousand slaves, but he is also There are hundreds of singers and dancers.

And he, Li Xiaogong, is also surprisingly gentle towards women, basically responding to every request, so the expenses will naturally be even greater.

It didn't matter that Li Xiaogong owned the shipyard before, but now that Zuo Ming wants to get involved in the shipbuilding business, how can he not be in a hurry?
He is aware of Zuo Ming's methods, and he believes that as long as Zuo Ming's shipyard is built, those low-cost riverboats he built will be eliminated directly.

The imperial court doesn't use it, and the rich don't buy it, so let him build small fishing boats for those untouchables?How much money can you make?

Li Xiaogong, who was about to lose his source of income, naturally became more and more unhappy with Zuo Ming, and Li Daozong, who had a business relationship with Li Xiaogong, naturally hated Zuo Ming along with him.

Although Li Daozong is not aggressive, he is extremely greedy for money and often does some blatant greed for ink.If it wasn't for Li Shimin's thought that he really has some abilities, a rare talent in the royal family, he wouldn't have tolerated him to this day.

Knowing the reason why Li Xiaogong and the others hated him, Zuo Ming really got bored.

Isn't it just a shipyard?How much business can I steal from you?Besides, I didn't build ships for your use, but for your own use, and you won't sell them. Why are you so excited?

Zuo Ming really felt that he was wronged, these clans took their own three-acre land too firmly, and they became extremely nervous when others just touched it.It's really ridiculous, sad, and a little exasperating.

"It's really hard to say what will happen to Zuo Ming in the future. Our shipyard hasn't been built yet. Even if it is built, it may not have any conflicts with the King of Hejian County! It's Li Zongbing, you - oops! Look at my memory , You are not the commander-in-chief now!

I heard that the coastal area of ​​Leizhou is exposed to the wind and the sun all year round, the miasma is heavy, and there are typhoons. After the typhoon, it is the season of strong winds!Count the days and you'll get there just in time for the wind!That guy, when he heard that he was so powerful, the horse couldn't stand up!Alas. Stop talking, take care of yourself! "

At the end, Zuo Ming gave Li Daoyan a look of "take care of yourself", and then left with Li Zhi.

Every time Zuo Ming said something, Li Daoyan's face would turn ugly.He has been to Jiannan Road, that place is not far from Lingnan Road, and he has experienced the miasma there a long time ago. If he hadn't been in good health back then, he might be gone by now.

I heard that there is not only miasma in Leizhou, but also a strange wind that can sweep away cattle and horses. Even though Li Daoyan knew that it was just Zuo Ming threatening him, he still couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Because he knew that Zuo Ming's words might be exaggerated, but they were absolutely true.If the environment over there is not bad, it will not be regarded as a place of exile.

Looking back at Li Daoyan, who was a little out of his mind, Zuo Ming smiled coldly and continued on the way forward.

Zuo Ming was not in a hurry this way, and he took Li Zhi around like a stroll.

Not long after, the two returned to Yong'an County again.

Today's Yong'an County has undergone earth-shaking changes, and its prosperity has almost caught up with some state capitals.

Zuo Ming's plan for Yong'an County is too organized, and his consideration is very thoughtful.Yiying storefronts are built according to the needs of each area.

There are also garbage and drainage systems, Yong'an County can be called a must.

Especially garbage.The garbage in Datang is generally organic household garbage, which is a rare fertilizer.In order to make the best use of everything, the first batch of Ye Xianglang in the history of Datang was born.

Ye Xianglang in Yong'an County is responsible for collecting garbage from various houses. Although there is no salary, the garbage they collect will be purchased by Zuo Ming to fertilize the fields. This can be regarded as an indirect employment relationship.

The garbage in Yong'an County will definitely not be cut off, and all Ye Xianglang will not lose their jobs.Moreover, this job still requires more pay for more work. It can be said that as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is not difficult to make a fortune.

This can be regarded as a set of special benefits for the poor people in Yong'an County and the new Tuyuhun slaves.

However, with the rapid growth of the population, the original size of Yong'an County is obviously not enough.In order to meet the housing needs of Yong'an County, Zuo Ming had no choice but to order people to start the expansion of the county seat.

Zuo Ming chose the direction of expansion to be southwest.

Because the north of Yong'an County is the Wei River, and in the final analysis, the real location of Yong'an County is still in the northeast of Tang Jinyuan, and there is only a Chan River in the middle.As long as it expands to the southwest, sooner or later, Yong'an County will be integrated with Chang'an City.

It is said to be an expansion, but in fact it is just the construction of some houses in an orderly manner. Although Yong'an County is called a county seat, it has no city walls, and its southwest is a wasteland, so there are naturally no obstacles to building houses.

Because slaves do not need to be paid for their work, these jobs are not difficult.

However, Yong'an County is going to be expanded, and the wharf is still under construction. Although the shipyard has begun to take shape, it has not been fully completed. There is still a Dafeichuan market outside that needs to be worried, and Zuo Ming's time is becoming more and more urgent. .

These things cannot be done by others, because he has to go through field inspections to make changes to some things. Even Li Zhi, who already has a junior high school education level, can't help.

However, this day, he had just returned to the Hou's mansion to make out with all the ladies for a night, and was going to go to the Dafeichuan market to investigate the situation the next day, but he was restrained by a black shadow halfway and dragged to an inaccessible alley.

Being restrained, Zuo Ming suddenly regretted putting Shen Ding and Wu Dazhu in the Anle Grand Theater as security guards.It's just that it's too late to regret now.

After the man controlled Zuo Ming, he directly gagged his mouth, then covered him with a hood, and resisted him not knowing where he went.

In close contact with that black shadow, Zuo Ming immediately felt a soft fragrance, and was surprised at that moment.

——The kidnapper turned out to be a woman! ?
