Chapter 107

The carriage quietly drove into the villa group and stopped at the door of the most central villa. Besides a few limited guards, Li Zhong brought two people to the villa.

Li Hong slowly stepped out of the carriage, and saw that Li Zhong had already brought two servants to meet him at the door with a smile.

The palace lantern beside the road shines brightly at the door of the villa. Two people look at each other and smile knowingly at the same time.

"Hong'er, please come in." Li Zhong takes a few steps forward and reaches out to lead the way in front of Li Hong.

"Please." Li Hong also said politely.

It has been nearly seven years since Li Zhong was abolished and Li Hong was established.

Li Zhong has also changed from a green and astringent youth to a steady young man. He even has a trace of vicissitudes and experiences that are not in line with his age.

Although the height is not too high, but the broad shoulders, as well as the years of training, has obviously made a lot of mature, the whole person is less a trace of imperial noble spirit, more simple and honest reliable and simple.

In the living room, Li Hong is still sitting on the main seat. Although this is Li Zhong's temporary home, Li Hong still has to show his respect for the prince when he is here.

"Just the three of you coming here?" Li Hong pointed to the two people behind him. The two servants had been with Li Zhong for some years.

"It's convenient and easy to get on the way. Besides, it's very peaceful on the way. It's enough to have their escort." Li Zhong moved the water cup that Xiaoxue handed over to him on the tea table and put it in front of Li Hong.

"It's also true that a small number of people can avoid unnecessary attention." Li Hong nodded.

They haven't seen each other for many years, but they are still a little strange to each other. Moreover, Li Hong now feels sorry for Li Zhong's honest and open mind.

Although the correspondence between the two has been constant in the past few years, Liangzhou has also been under the care of Li Hong. In recent years, the development of Liangzhou has been very good. Even the father and the emperor have praised him from time to time.

However, Li Zhong never mentioned it to him in his letter when he came to Taiyi city. This is why Bai Chun received the news after entering the territory of Chang'an.

Li Hong's reaction after hearing the news also did not expect Li Zhonghui to come at this time. His heart was still full of shock.

But now Li Hong looked at Li Zhong's face, but he was frank and calm. He didn't pay attention to the fact that he might expose his whereabouts.

Li Hong couldn't bear the surprise in his heart. He still asked, "brother Huang, is there any arrangement in Liangzhou when you go back to Chang'an this time?"

Li Zhong chuckled and looked more calm: "thanks to your help these years for my brother. Otherwise, I would not be able to reach the present position in Liangzhou. My father often praised him. But I know that all this is because of your contribution."

"Take a rest." Li Hong interrupted him and said, "seriously, can Liangzhou be arranged before coming this time? You have a special identity. I've arranged you in this very hidden place. If someone there knows your whereabouts and his father knows about it, I'm afraid the father will not forgive you. "

"Hong'er, don't worry. I've got the promise of my father when I come here." Li Zhong is confident and calm.

"What? Do you know you're here Li Hong felt that his voice had changed. When was this guy so bold? This is still the Li Zhong who had to avoid looking at his eyes!

"Yes, after knowing that your Chamber of commerce is going to be held, I made a compromise with my father and the emperor. I hope that my father will allow me to participate in this chamber of Commerce, and my father and Emperor agree." Li Zhong's simple and honest face is wearing a little narrow smile.

Li Hong looked at him closely, as if to see a flower coming out from his face. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "if you don't believe it, it's certainly not as simple as you said. There must be something inside. Otherwise, how could the father agree so readily. And if you tell me, when I come to Taiyi City, my father will tell me. "

"You are still so smart that you can't hide anything from you. When you were only a few years old, you could make your father and queen mother happy and eat Li Xiao, the third and the fourth. At that time, I was really afraid of you. You looked at people with hooks, which made people feel scared at the bottom of my heart." Li Zhong looked at him like a smile, staring at his Li Hong, a relaxed face said.

"Tell me, what did you promise your father that he could be so generous that he released you from Liangzhou." Li Hong went to the sofa and asked in a comfortable position.

"I asked my father to resign as governor of Liangzhou." Li Zhong looked at Li Hong and said faintly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"You leave? Is it not the father's deprivation? " Li Hong is not too surprised.

On the contrary, he was somewhat relaxed. If he really removed the post of governor of Liangzhou, Li Zhong would be equivalent to letting his father put a knife around his neck and kill or cut him.

Moreover, in this way, it is tantamount to giving up everything, including the power that may be acquired in the future, to be a real carefree king or a rich businessman, which is no different from the common people."Yes, I asked my father to leave twice. Didn't you say that everything should be done step by step, so I resigned from the post of commander in chief, including the maid in the house and the domestic slaves. I left no more than 20 people, and all the others were dismissed." At the same time, it is not easy to see Li's heartfelt smile and regret.

Today, the governor of the city has given the governor a special instruction. However, if he is appointed governor of a week, he will give him an example. Although there is no real Festival, he still has the right to supervise the military. However, it does not mean that there is no such thing.

Otherwise, Wu Mei would not have instructed Xu Jingzong to frame Li Zhongzhong for conspiracy against him. This shows that the governor at that time had a certain right to be honest.

It was also a prelude for the local military and political officials later in the Tang Dynasty: Jiedushi.

The jiedusi gave two banners and two stanzas: special reward for the praise and special killing for the festival. The so-called Festival is nothing more than some tokens given by the Emperor: eight pieces, including the two sides of the gate flag, one side of the dragon and tiger's banner, one piece of festival, two arms and two pieces of leopard tail. The festival is made of gold and copper leaves.

Li Hong nodded clearly. Li Zhong's move was completely like breaking away from the royal family. Now, unless the other seven sons of the emperor's father died, maybe he could become the crown prince again.

What's more, it may be that under the complicated relationship between the imperial court and the imperial court, when no man in Li Tang's clan can inherit it, maybe the courtiers will think of him.

This relationship is also in line with the historical records. Wu Mei had the chance to become emperor only after killing the dead and abolishing the waste.

Then, after the collapse of Wu Zhou, Li Tang Jiang Shan was returned. First Li Zhe (Li Xian) and then Li Dan became emperor, and then Li Dan's third son, Li Longji, ushered in the heyday of Kaiyuan.

"What's the purpose of your coming?" Li Hong asked curiously.

After all, Liangzhou is not too far away from Taiyi city. Many products of Taiyi city have already given him the right to produce.

"I'd like to have your cement and salt refined." Li Zhong looked at Li Hong and said firmly.

"Cement is easy to say. I will give it even if you don't say so. But do you dare to ask for the refined method of salt? Glass is not enough for you to develop Liangzhou There seems to be a huge question mark on Li Hong's forehead.

"This time, you are not registered in the name of the Ministry of household registration. If you have this refined salt, plus tea, etc., you will not have to make a detour to Chang'an..."

"If you want to be beautiful, the emperor of salt and iron gave his will. The imperial family and the nobility, including the five surnames and seven hopes, are not allowed to be devolved. You should die of this heart." Li Hong hit Li Zhong's calm face.

Li Zhong sighed deeply and thought for a while and said, "well, since salt and iron can't be lowered, can Liangzhou produce iron? Don't you make iron from the outside... "

"Go and go. The more you say, the more you say, the less you can do. Do you really think that if I can turn a stone into gold, just point to a hill, and those stones will become good iron? All of these should be classified according to the geology. If you don't understand it for a while, don't pay attention to it. " Li Hong refused.

Liangzhou is now the area of Hanzhong, where mineral resources are absolutely abundant. However, Li Hong does not want to excavate them now, because Liangzhou is rich in land and has always been called a small land of abundance.

Hanzhong Basin is also well-known. At this time, Li Hong would not give up food because of iron and steel. In case of a famine, could people eat a piece of steel? His father didn't cut him.

"I'll talk about it casually. If I don't give it, I won't give it." Li Zhong said calmly, without any disappointment or regret because of Li Hong's refusal.

After dinner with Li Zhong, Li Zhong personally sent Li Hong to the carriage, pulled Li Hong's sleeve, and solemnly said, "I'm here to win some shares for the merchants in Liangzhou, so I will attend the chamber of Commerce."

"Well, I see." Without a trace, Li Hong broke away from Li Zhong's hand and got on the carriage without looking back.

I don't know why, I haven't seen Li Zhong for several years, but it gives him a feeling of separation. That feeling is like Li Zhong has completely changed, but he knows him very well.

Including today's conversation, his refusal and consent seem to be in Li Zhong's expectation. It seems that he has been thoroughly studied by Li Zhong in recent years.

What Li Zhong said before getting on the bus was that he clearly told him that he would unite with other Liangzhou businessmen to fight for some more shares.
