Datang Library

Li Xinzhong snorted coldly: "Hmph, you're blowing your mind."

Hong Dali stood up from the snow, turned around and looked at Li Mingxin who had silver teeth, and then reached out to lift the hem of the robe. His right hand turned his palm into a knife, and cut the hem of the robe with one knife.

He said in a loud voice: "On behalf of all the students of Zhongnan Academy, Hong Dali cut off your righteousness with you, Li Mingxin today. The love between our classmates, the love of the same family, and the friendship of friends in the past will be severed from now on. We will never owe each other again. We will meet on the battlefield tomorrow. It is the enemy."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and strode away with Li Ji, without looking back.

Li Mingxin looked at Hong Dali's resolute back, and finally his clenched teeth loosened a little, and he whispered to himself, "I, did I do the right thing?"

Chapter 822 A Crisis Looms

Hearing his younger brother's muttering, Li Xinzhong patted his shoulder beside him, and persuaded him: "Differences do not conspire with each other, Bai Fan is good at controlling people's hearts, now that the conspiracy has been resolved, you did nothing wrong.

As for your group of brothers and sisters, we are burdened with deep blood feuds and family inheritance, and we are destined to be different from this group of people. They can rely on others, and we can only rely on ourselves. "

"I'll save it, little brother." Li Mingxin nodded, turned around and went back step by step, stepping on the thick snow, making creaking and creaking sounds, a little chaotic, but also inexplicably firm.

Li Xinzhong put away the Thunderbolt around his waist, and his back was soaked at this time. In order to win over and win the trust of his younger brother, Li Xinzhong worked hard enough. A person who cherishes his life so much can actually make a waist The action of Tanglei threatening to fight against the enemy shows that this person is an absolute ruthless person.

"Then Bai Fan wants to sacrifice his sister to control you, so why do you have to worry about a woman? Why don't a man have a wife? When we are successful, you can choose any princess you want to marry in the future."

Li Mingxin felt his heart hurt a little, shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it, brother, I don't care about him now, and I don't want to mention the love between men and women.

Let's have a good discussion on how to bring the clansmen to Tubo for resettlement. "

Mentioning this, Li Xinzhong seemed to have thought of something he was proud of, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he answered: "Haha, since that's the case, let's press this matter for now, and I will arrange for you personally in the future.

I have already sent people to do the affairs of the tribe. It happened that the winter truce happened, and the Tang Dynasty was also resting in the winter. "

Leaving aside the fact that the Li brothers returned to Tubo with their own concerns, and that they returned to Li Ji and Hong Dali in the Datang camp, Hong Dali was so angry that he bid farewell to the commander-in-chief Li Ji and wanted to return to Chang'an. An explanation.

Li Ji knew what was going on, so he nodded and agreed, but when Hong Dali was leaving, Li Ji asked the Chinese army's telegrapher to send a telegram to Bai Fan, explaining what happened, and asking Bai Fan to persuade his disciples.

Bai Fan saw what the telegram said, Li Mingxin bluntly said that he had turned his back on his teacher, and Hong Dali cut off his robe on the spot. He sighed in his heart, the situation was getting worse and worse. How should things end?

Since the invention of the telegraph, the intelligence system of Emperor Li Er has become even more powerful, and Li Ji can convey the frontline military information to the emperor on the same day.

At the beginning, Li Er also wanted to see how capable Li Mingxin was, but later Li Ji smashed the city with thunder, which made Li Er very happy.

But he was not happy for a long time, and then heard the news that Li Ji was blocked by a minefield, and the army retreated again. It was not until Bai Fan's disciple Hong Dali arrived that he achieved pioneering results, winning three big cities in a row.

He was overjoyed after winning the battle, but Li Er was not so happy. In this way, it was still a duel between Bai Fan's disciples. Could it be that a random disciple from Zhongnan Academy would not be able to surrender to a general who has been in the court for many years?This made Li Er a little dissatisfied, and even wanted to personally direct the fight.

It was Empress Changsun who persuaded that Zhongnan Academy is now the No. [-] academy in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also in charge of all educational matters in the Tang Dynasty. As the future of Datang, wouldn't the stronger the better now?

After some persuasion, Li Er finally calmed down his fighting spirit. Although he was always worried, after all, Bai Fan, the dean, could order all his disciples, but he had the ability to teach, and he had no choice. Let's take down Bai Fan, but what about Datang Weiye who planned on the other side?

At the beginning, he was determined to plant the banner of the Tang Dynasty everywhere where the sun shines. Thinking of this passionate ideal, Li Er can hold back any doubts.

Winter is coming, and as the war subsides, the common people have returned to the cheerful atmosphere of the New Year from the discussion of the war.

Great Tang Immortal Grain has been popularized all over the country. Although there were minor disasters and disasters in a few areas this year, the output of Immortal Grain was unbearably high, so the people generally had a bumper harvest of grain. The poorest households also had a year and a half of ration storage .

A bumper harvest of grain is followed by economic growth. Agriculture is the foundation of the country. If the people can’t finish their surplus grain, they can’t wait for it to rot at home. After all, it is foreseeable that there will be a bumper harvest every year Store surplus food at home.

Therefore, the imperial court must formulate a new grain collection policy to solve the surplus grain in the hands of the people and at the same time drive the growth of the country's economy.

The first step is the government decree to cancel the national alcohol prohibition. The so-called alcohol prohibition is the country's prohibition of grain wine production. Wouldn't it be worse for others?

That's why the Prohibition on Alcohol was introduced. Now it's no longer needed, and the food can't be eaten up, so the state can buy it up and consume it.

Wine making is just one of them, because wheat and corn can be used for wine making. It seems that sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot make wine, but at present, people store more food in potatoes and sweet potatoes. first.

Buying potatoes and sweet potatoes, directly processing them into starch for industrial use, these are only Bai Fan can handle.

The development of agriculture and the supply of industry drives the operation of the economy. At the same time, the funds in the hands of farmers begin to accumulate. In this case, basically, the more land in the family, the more money the people have in their hands, and the richer their lives. The simplest For example, after selling the excess food, the relatives at home can buy an extra piece of new clothes for the New Year's Day, and the worst thing is that they can cook an extra meal of meat dishes on the New Year's Eve.

In the festive atmosphere of this new year, a commodity called delicious seasoning appeared in ordinary small towns in Guannei Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road, etc. of the Tang Dynasty, and was sold by small vendors.

In the nearly ten years since Bai Fan came to Datang, Datang’s cooking and other emerging food technologies have spread all over the country. The people know about cooking, and their families are used to this cooking method. The seasoning is also familiar to the people. The Ryukyu area in the south of the Tang Dynasty produced a lot of spices. Bai Fan once instructed Yue Wang Feng An to occupy Ryukyu to collect spices, process them and sell them all over the country.

Nowadays, the spice industry is also a huge profiteering industry that sells all over the country. Of course, Feng An and Bai Fan are not greedy, and [-]% of the profits are directly turned over to the state treasury.

After this delicious seasoning appeared recently, people thought it was also a kind of spice, so some people bought it and tried it, and when they went home to try it, it was really delicious and left people with a little aftertaste.

Although these vendors are peddlers and not fixed storefronts, the delicious spices have gradually become famous, and more and more people are flocking to them. However, it is said that this spice is not in stock and is only sold every seven days.

Nowadays, apart from Jiannan Road in Datang, the famous cities of other state roads basically have this delicious spice. The chamber of commerce behind this delicious spice is a little-known small chamber of commerce. Earn a lot of money, and his reputation has also skyrocketed, which has attracted the attention of the National Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 823 The Poison Plan Exposed

Bai Fan is still painstakingly arranging the affairs of the academy and his family. Firstly, the academy is facing the pressure of public opinion, and secondly, it is the relationship problems of the younger sisters in the family, especially the troublesome matter of the third sister. When Hong Dali returns, how will he explain it?

A secret letter and a small paper package came from the Baijia Chamber of Commerce, which stated that it was encrypted and urgent.

Bai Fan frowned and opened the secret letter to see that it was a commercial event about the competition of spices. Although the spice market is dominated by the Bai family, the spices are not exclusive to the Bai family. Others can find a base for planting and producing spices and can produce excellent spices. Spices, not out of the question.

It stands to reason that there are countless capable people in the Chamber of Commerce for such a small matter, so how can no one solve it?

But when I saw the bottom of the secret letter, it said that the opponent's spices were just bought from the Bai family and processed it myself, but who knew it was highly appreciated by the people and robbed the Bai family of a lot of business.

That’s not to mention, the Bai family is a big chamber of commerce after all, and they sent people to negotiate the acquisition of the opponent’s formula, because they saw that the opponent was only running a stall and selling them scatteredly, and knew that they had insufficient backup funds, so they wanted to acquire and merge, so that there was no need to fight a business war up.

Who knows that the opponent doesn't sell at all, or even talk about it, their attitude is extremely abnormal, which chamber of commerce in the world is not extremely respectful when they meet with the Baijia Chamber of Commerce, not to mention that they must sell well, but the minimum respect is there, but this small chamber of commerce As if nothing had happened.

Therefore, after the Baijia Chamber of Commerce paid attention, it made a special investigation and found that the opponent's spices are becoming more and more popular, and the people who have used them almost no longer buy Baijia spices. This is very abnormal, and this chamber of commerce seems to have a boss behind the scenes. less than.

After Bai Fan read it, he also had doubts in his heart. It seemed that this was a small incident, but it always felt like a conspiracy?

After he opened the seasoning bag in his hand, he took a closer look, and was instantly furious. With his many years of medical experience, he knew it just by smelling it. It was clearly mixed with poppies. Well, this is very obvious. It was Tubo Li Xinzhong who was playing tricks.

Thinking of this, Bai Fan was startled. Li Xinzhong is also a smart man. He knew that he had issued a strict order in Jiannan Road to investigate and deal with things related to drug poppies, so he bypassed Jiannan Road and spread the drugs to other state roads in Datang. And it's more hidden, more common, and hard to guard against.

How could other common people officials who have never suffered a disadvantage have such vigilance? By the time Bai Fan finds out, there may be countless people who have become addicted.

Bai Fan, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, didn't dare to delay, and rushed straight to the direction of the palace. The enemy came suddenly, and he could only mobilize the chamber of commerce by himself. I'm afraid it was too late. This is not a simple commercial competition, so the court needs to Show up.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Bai Fan explained the ins and outs of the incident, and Li Er was furious. Is it poppy drug again?Is it Tubo Li Xinzhong again?He had already taught him a lesson about the poisoning last time, but he never thought he would dare to stir up trouble?

"In short, Li Xinzhong is unscrupulous in his actions, and the common people have been harmed by him repeatedly. What morality can we talk about with him? How about getting rid of him?" Li Er said.

Bai Fan once said before the battle between the two armies of Jiannan Road that the two countries will fight for a bright road, and they will not do things like assassinate the king.

Bai Fan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I still want to try, after all, destroying the country in the right way can take a long time, and it can save a lot of follow-up troubles.

As for Li Xinzhong, he is so brave that he dared to ignore my warning and poison the people of Tang Dynasty. I will send someone to teach him a lesson.

The most urgent task at the moment is for the government to come forward to eliminate the poisoning gang, and at the same time vigorously release prescriptions to detoxify the people.
