Chapter 619 Next City

Politics certainly requires forbearance, but when it is time for the rapids to advance, it must also be made immediately. Li Xian has a deep rhyme. Although the power of the Empress Wu is outstanding at this time, in fact, it is just floating clouds. Not to mention that it has little foundation in the place, even its strength in the DPRK is not enough to occupy a dominant position. What can be relied on is only Gao Zong's favor. As for Jia Chaoyin and others, they all jump the clown's ears, and they can't make a big wave at all. Especially when Gao Zong wants to pull Li Xian out to balance the situation of the situation, Li Xian is not afraid to put on a political battle with Wu Hou in public.

"Okay, very good. Since Xian'er is so confident, I would like to see if Xian'er has a good strategy to deal with the disaster."

The Empress Dowager Wu has been used to it over the years, and she really hasn't encountered too many challenges. At this time, she was hit by Li Xian, and her lungs were almost blown up. However, after all, Queen Wu is the Empress Wu. No matter how angry she is, she will not show much gaffe. She just nodded calmly and said something. Tao.

"Don't worry, the mother-in-law. Since the minister dares to say that he can bear it, he is willing to ask the mother-in-law to become the son-in-law's proposal."

Li Xian knows too well that the Empress Wu is a person. How can he not know that he is not paying attention to the current disaster situation? He just wants to avoid the important things. He did not follow his intention, so he answered with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

In the face of Li Xian's step-by-step pressure, the anger in Queen Wu's heart was almost uncontrollable, but Li Xian was not picky in words or etiquette. Even if Queen Wu wanted to lose her temper, she couldn't find an excuse. She had no choice but to say anything, turned her face slightly, and looked at Gao Zong. He put on a posture of respectfully listening to Gao Zongming.

"Xian'er, now the disaster is very big, and it must not be a joke. If there is a slight mistake, the disaster may be great. Since Xian'er can bear it, I believe it. It's just that it's important, but it's very concerned in my heart. Is it okay for me to talk about how to deal with me?"

When Li Xian met Queen Wu before, Gao Zong squeezed a cold sweat for Li Xian fiercely. What he was afraid was that Li Xian could not stop the power of Queen Wu. If so, Gao Zong's way of balance with high expectations would have to be broken. Fortunately, Li Xian pushed it down, which made Gao Zong slightly relieved, but to Li Xian's There were still some doubts about the disaster relief plan. Before he didn't know Li Xian's card, he did not dare to easily agree to Li Xian's request, so he cautiously asked.

"To let my father know that the reason why my minister dares to take responsibility for this matter is precisely because of the full support of the 'Deng Ji Company' Deng Da's shopkeeper. With his help, there is no need to worry about disaster relief. If the father doesn't believe it, he can call him to come and know the root as soon as soon as you ask!"

Li Xian's heart is very big. He is never polite when he can make money. He just asked for a reward for Lin Hu, and now he is also making trouble to get a piece for Deng Cheng. Of course, this move is also a reasonable explanation for the upcoming fleet full of food to avoid those unnecessary troubles.

"Well, that's fine. Let's meet me."

Gao Zong has received Confucian education since he was a child. He has always looked down on the business people. Even if Deng Cheng's contribution is not small, Gao Zong actually doesn't pay much attention to it. It's okay to praise him verbally. Do you want Gao Zong to give him a chance to see him, but it's not what Gaozong wants to do, but Li Xian's face can't. No, after hesitating for a moment, Gao Zong decided to meet this generous and righteous Deng Dashan.

"Thank you for your grace."

Since the purpose has been achieved, Li Xian stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly thanked him. He turned around and waved his hand, and the eunuchs of the East Palace who were waiting on the side agreed to leave. After a while, he accompanied Deng Cheng, who was dressed in blue, from outside the garden.

"Deng Cheng, a grass-man, kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager!"

Deng Cheng is calm by nature. Although it is the first time to see him, his courtesy has long been instructed by the people in the East Palace, and there is no difference. At this time, when he entered the garden, he quickly grabbed the royal driver and bowed to the ground respectfully.

"Your family is in peace."

Although Gao Zong didn't like to see the merchants, on the one hand, Deng Cheng had made great contributions to solving the siege before, and on the other hand, because of Li Xian's face, Gao Zong would not look at Deng Cheng's face. He raised his hand with a smile and shouted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Seeing driving is not a trivial matter. Even if Deng Cheng has already been prepared, he can't help but be a little nervous when facing Gao Zong. Although his face is still calm, Xie En's voice trembles slightly, and his body can't help but tremble slightly.

"There is no need to be nervous about your family. I'm calling you here. There are some things that you want your family to explain, and you can answer according to the truth."

As soon as he saw that Deng Cheng was so nervous, Gao Zong couldn't help but feel it, so he smiled and comforted him.

"The people are respectful to obey His Majesty's will, but there is no one who knows and there is no answer."

Deng Cheng can value Li Xian so much. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person. After he realized that he was a little out of a state, he immediately took a deep breath. In just a moment, he forcibly pressed down the tension, and then bowed to Gao Zong and replied respectfully.

"Well, okay, Xian'er recommended you and said that you have a good strategy for disaster relief. May the Qing family talk to me to listen to?"

Seeing that Deng Cheng could calm down so quickly, Gao Zong was really a little surprised. He took a high look at him, nodded with approval and said the intention of calling Deng Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the grass people can't study. They can only do business as a business. Those who can do things by chance are all caused by the greatness of God. At the time of this natural disaster, they dare not forget this. The grass people have donated 6,000 stones of grain grain a month ago, and now there are still 2,700 stones of grain that have been distributed one after another, or they can be given for three days. Five days later, the grass people's subordinates. The fleet will carry 88,000 stones to arrive in Dongdu one after another, and another 138,000 stones will also take the sea to Qingzhou, Pingzhou (now near Qinhuangdao City) and other places, which can be used for more than a month, or can cope with the rainy season.

Deng Cheng quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then opened his mouth slowly and came out the countermeasures discussed in advance with Li Xian.

"Boom..."

As soon as Deng Cheng's words fell, all the ministers couldn't help talking nonsense. They forgot that this was in front of the king, nothing else, just because the news was really too shocking. More than 200,000 stones of grain may not be a big deal at ordinary times, but this is the time of drought. According to the current price of food, However, more than 400,000 yuan, if it is a copper money, it can fill a large warehouse. All the ministers present are the best ministers. But when it comes to family wealth, I'm afraid that even a change may not be able to get it, and Deng Cheng actually donated it all in one breath, which really shocked the courtiers.

"I really admire you for destroying your family and country so much. However, if it hurts the foundation of your family, it is not what I want to see."

Although Gao Zong lived in nine places, he did not pay much attention to politics, but this time in order to deal with the great drought, he was very sad and still knew about the current food prices. At this time, when he heard that Deng Cheng had donated so much food, he was happy that he could get through the disaster, but he was worried that Deng Cheng's business would be seriously frustrated by the disaster relief. .

"Your Majesty said that the wealth of the grass people is taken from the people, and it should be used for the people. Even if the family's wealth is scattered, it is the blessing of the grass people who can share the worries for your majesty!"

Although more than 400,000 yuan is a lot, it is not a big deal for the "Deng Ji Company" with a big business. Besides, this money is actually Li Xian's. Li Xian can spend it as much as he wants. What Deng Cheng has done is to borrow flowers to present Buddha. Of course, Deng Cheng does not dare to be here at this time. When he said it, he could only deal with it passionately.

"Aiqing has a heart, but I'm a little sorry. Well, I named the Qing family as the man of Kaicheng County to reward the Qing family."

Gao Zong was obviously moved by the loyalty shown by Deng Cheng. However, he couldn't help but hesitate a little about how to repay Deng Cheng's loyalty. Without it, Deng Cheng's credit is enough to be a marquis. However, he has just sealed the marquis of a businessman like Lin Hu. At this time, if he is awarded another merchant as a marquis, it will spread I'm afraid it's a hindrance to go out. After all, the status of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty is still very low. Gao Zong can't help but worry that he will be criticized. After pondering for a moment, he still decided to lower Deng Cheng's title to the lowest level of baron.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Although the title of the man in Kaicheng County is two levels lower than that of Lin Hu's Guanneihou, it is a real seal. In terms of value, it is not under Guanneihou. Such rewards can no longer be said to be very heavy, especially for a businessman who has no hope in officialdom. Deng Cheng has no dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly knelt down to the ground. Thank you loudly.

"Well, Aiqing, just go down."

With such a great achievement, he only gave such a little insignificant reward. Gao Zong was still a little sorry. At this time, when he saw Deng Cheng's excitement and thanking him, Gao Zong was a little relieved, so he waved his hand and dismissed Deng Cheng.

"Father, although the food for disaster relief is already available, the amount is only used for ears. If there is no plan, waste is inevitable. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first use it. My ministers propose to set up a disaster relief command center. One can allocate all disaster relief supplies and supervise the work at the same time. Second, you can also take this opportunity to take all kinds of overseas. The good seeds will be promoted for the benefit of the people. I would like to take the lead. Please give my father's approval!"

In one day, Lin Hu and Deng Cheng's two confidants could be sealed. Li Xian was very satisfied. However, those were not the main purpose of Li Xian's deployment. At this time, when Gao Zong was in a good mood, Li Xian once again put forward his political ideas and put forward the power to participate in politics.

"Well, this matter, I'm accurate!"

Gao Zong's intention was to support Li Xian. He was reluctant to say it, but he was just afraid of the idea of the Empress Wu. He hesitated for a moment and peeked at the Empress Wu's face. Seeing that the Empress Wu was indifferent and seemed to have no objection, he nodded and agreed.

"Thank you for your father's kindness!"

All kinds of deployments, a lot of hard work, and now it has finally successfully completed the predetermined strategic goal. Li Xian's heart is simply sweeter than drinking honey, and the voice of gratitude is loud and straightforward...
