Chapter 79: Yizhou officials
Looking back at Tongmeng standing in the distance, who still refused to leave, Cui Yingying smiled and looked at Li Yin: "Your Highness really knows how to buy people\'s hearts, just a few words, a little favor and a little favor will make a post general obedient to you, thank you Dade .”
"How do you know it\'s buying people\'s hearts?" Li Yin was somewhat surprised, this girl knows a lot.
Cui Yingying snorted softly: "Your Highness, do you think I am one of those women who don\'t know poetry? Besides, my father is a waiter, and I have seen these tricks a lot. If Your Highness just sympathizes with that postman, you only need to write a letter." , why bother to look enthusiastic and inquire about how the post station operates, and later care about the post general\'s business situation, and also greet his family."
Cui Yingying pointed out one by one, leaving Li Yin unable to refute, he said: "Yes, I have an idea, I want to take charge of the station on the road from Guanzhong to Yizhou in my own hands, so that our connection with Chang\'an will be more convenient. It\'s much more convenient, what do you think?"
Cui Yingying leaned her arms on the window, resting her chin in one hand, thought for a while and said, "It\'s just that on this road, there are at least a hundred post stations we pass by, and how much food will be spent to support it!"
"I asked that Tongmeng. One post station costs about a thousand guan a year, and a hundred is only a hundred thousand guan. For us, it\'s just a drop in the bucket!"
Li Yin opened his mouth to hundreds of thousands as an understatement, Cui Yingying rolled her eyes, and said softly: "Your Highness, how much money do we have now?"
"Four to five million guan!" We are all a family, and Li Yin blurted out without thinking about anything.
Cui Yingying was stunned for a moment. She knew that Li Yin had done some business in Chang\'an City, but she never expected to accumulate such a huge wealth in such a short period of time. It is said that the husband and wife should work together, one for the outside and the other for the inside, His Royal Highness must be busy with government affairs after arriving in Yizhou, so Yingying will take care of these things like money and silk, so that His Highness will not be distracted!" After finishing speaking, He stared at Li Yin with clear eyes.
Li Yin suddenly felt cheated, this Xiaoni was waiting for him here, and she was ready to take over the family\'s financial power after only a few days of entry, but Cui Yingying said that it was for this, and the truth was also shown, he always You can\'t say no with a shy face. After all, the male lead outside and the female lead inside is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation that has been passed down for thousands of years. "You are now the princess of Shu. Can the servant not listen to what you say?"
"Exactly!" Cui Yingying was proud, Li Yin didn\'t say it explicitly, but it was regarded as acquiescing.
It was another three days of exhaustion. At noon on the third day, everyone saw the majestic city in front of them. Although the scale of Yizhou City could not be compared with that of Chang\'an, it was also the largest and most populous city in Sichuan. According to relevant statistics, the total number of households in Jiannan Road at that time was about 670,000, and the population of Yizhou City alone was 100,000 households, or about 500,000 people. The fourteen counties around the state capital.
Seeing Yizhou City, everyone was overjoyed, with long-lost smiles on their faces. Li Min called Qin Huaiyu to give him a gold ribbon with a copper fish charm. This is the identity certificate of an official in the Tang Dynasty. This is what proves their identity.
Qin Huaiyu took the copper fish talisman and took four guards to ride his horse to Yizhou City. Li Yin walked slowly with the team, and still had to wait if he was stopped at the gate of the city.
Hearing the commotion outside, Cui Yingying opened the curtain, looked at it and put it down again. Before leaving, Cui Shao\'s words were still in his ears. Since the Sui Dynasty, the land of Shu has been the place of exile for officials who have no ambitions. The land of Shu is fertile. It enjoys the reputation of the land of abundance, but the people of the Tang Dynasty did not have a good view of the Shu land. This was because of the customs and customs of the Shu land at that time. In a nutshell, the people were addicted to leisure and pleasure, and the human relationship was cold. Like to seek profit and plunder each other, some wealthy households in the border areas often collude with the barbarians in the mountains to secretly control the prefectures and counties.
Cui Shao believed that the reason why Li Shimin asked Li Yin to come here was to rectify the land of Shu, change customs, and truly turn this place into a land of abundance. At the same time, it was also to stop the courtiers. The four sons were named the king of Shu. When Li Yuan was in power, he also promised Li Shimin to let Li Jiancheng be the king of Shu. Those princes who intend to rebel, this is why Li Shimin\'s decision was not opposed by anyone.
Qin Huaiyu came back in a short while, and he notified the governor of Yizhou, and now they are waiting for Li Yin at the door with officials.
At the gate of Yizhou City, Yizhou Inspector Gao Quan, Chang Shi Cheng Jian, and Sima Wang Longyin stood together, looking at the slowly marching team not far away. They had received an order from the court a few days ago and knew that His Highness the King of Shu would Arrived in Yizhou soon.
For a long time, this noble official did not come to Yizhou. Although he heard from the postman that the prince had been reprimanded, he still did not dare to neglect. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention , the document also specifically stated that Yizhou\'s military and government were under his control. If it was just government affairs, he, the governor, could straighten his waist, but it\'s not a joke that the King of Shu still has military power in his hands. Why is he also He has been in the officialdom for decades, and he also has some eyes and ears in Chang\'an. This Li Yin is probably not a good person.
Chang Shi Chengjian standing beside him looked thoughtful. Yizhou is the center of Shu, where it is prosperous. It is commonplace to receive money on weekdays, although he helped Gao Quan a few days ago. A fake account was made, but there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes. If the king of Shu is an honest and honest person, they will be in trouble.
Compared with Gao Quan and Cheng Jian, Wang Longyin looked relaxed. Gao Quan and Cheng Jian were both from local aristocratic families, and they covered the sky with only one hand in Yizhou, while he was from a poor family in the imperial examination. The name of Sima, but not the reality of Sima, Gao Quan discussed everything with Cheng Jian, and excluded him all the time. He is also from Chang\'an, and the king of Shu came here to work. On the contrary, he felt a sense of intimacy, so his face Although the face is calm, the heart is very happy.
The three of them had their own thoughts. At this time, Li Yin\'s team was approaching, and Li Yin jumped off his horse and walked forward.
