"Big brother, are you alright?"
When Li Xian returned, Li Longfan and Qiao Junbei were already waiting in the hall.
Li Longfan asked nervously.
"It's fine…" Li Xian said with a smile.
"Yeah, how could anything happen to you, Li Xian!”A strange voice rang out. Xue Chongjian had returned to the government office and appeared behind Li Xian.
"The Prince of Shouchun has a good plan," Xue Chongjian said to Li Longfan.”
"My mother and the kings of the Wu clan were all schemed against by him, and he became a bystander who reaped the benefits.”
"Even the Sage Emperor was forced by him to personally give the order that if he were to be assassinated in the future, my mother, the Prince of Xiang, Wu Chengsi, and Wu Sansi would all be buried with him.”
"Now, even if someone wants to kill him, my mother will protect him.”
Qiao Junbei and Li Longfan looked at Li Xian in surprise.
He didn't understand how Li Xian did it.
Xue Chongjian had already turned to Li Xian. His face revealed an unwilling expression as he gritted his teeth and said,""Li Xian, my mother told me to tell you that she and you share the same surname, Li!”
"My mother doesn't care about your defamation of her.”
"I hope you're not stupid enough to not know who wants to kill you!”
Xue Chongjian was extremely unwilling.
However, his mother had asked him to tell Li Xian this personally.
He also asked him not to target Li Xian for the time being and to slightly improve his relationship with Li Xian.
Li Xian understood that Li Lingyue had to focus on dealing with Wu Chengsi's Wu clan.
This time, he had torn apart his facade.
Li Lingyue was worried that making too many enemies would affect her and Wu Chengsi's fight in court.
Even if the two sides couldn't join forces, no, he wasn't qualified to join forces with Li Lingyue and the others for the time being.
But Li Lingyue was worried that he would stab her in the back.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before he had the qualifications.
Imperial Grandmother Wu Zetian wanted to use him as a knife.
Then he would definitely be given power.
Otherwise, if this knife wasn't sharp enough, how could it work for her?
He estimated that after he finished modifying 100,000 mu of dry land, he would be promoted with this credit.
Li Xian smiled and patted Xue Chongjian's shoulder." Go back and tell Aunt that as long as she doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke her."”
"We are both from the Li Consortium. If there is a need, I can also provide her with some help.”
Xue Chongjian shook his shoulders and shook off Li Xian's hand." My mother does have something she needs your help with.”
"She wants to know how you used the stone to deal with the Wu family's men of sacrifice.”
Li Xian narrowed his eyes.
"This is the news from the palace. Di Renjie personally examined the bodies and determined that the five killers had been seriously injured by your dense pebbles, causing them to lose their combat ability.”
"What else did your mother say?" Li Xian asked in a deep voice.”
"My mother is Li Xian's aunt!" Xue Chongjian frowned. You'd better show her some respect, that's all she said.”
"She also said that as long as you're not stupid, you'll understand what she meant!”
Li Xian smiled.
He did understand.
Li Lingyue was telling him that his imperial grandmother, Wu Zetian, had developed strong doubts about how he had killed the five assassins.
They were investigating in secret.
Li Lingyue wasn't so kind. She hinted at him just to put pressure on him.
Perhaps he wanted to force him to join forces.
Perhaps he was eyeing the secret of him killing the five assassins.
It was also possible that once he told Li Lingyue the secret, he would be able to kill her.
Li Lingyue would turn around and tell Wu Zetian that she would sell him out to take credit.
"There's no secret. I just grabbed a handful of stones and threw them out to hit them.”Li Xian said casually.
It didn't matter whether Xue Chongjian believed it or not.
He only sent a signal to Li Lingyue. Dream on, I won't tell you the secret!
Qiao Junbei and the other two could also hear Li Xian's deception.
They had seen killers with bloody faces.
Li Xian no longer paid attention to Xue Chongjian. He turned around and returned to the main seat, saying solemnly,"In the future, there won't be any more troublemakers.”
"From tomorrow onwards, we'll start pushing forward the things we've planned!”
"How's the preparation of Longfan's materials?”
"I promise I won't be held back by the materials.”
"Junbei, have the commoners been organized?”
"According to Milord's request, it has been organized.”
"Li Xian, my mother said that from today onwards, I will also help you.”Seeing that Li Xian was going to ignore him again, Xue Chongjian said in the name of his mother, Li Lingyue.
It didn't feel good to be ostracized.
Li Xian glanced at him." To join them, you have to do things. I'm not asking you to order people around and put on airs.”
"You can join, but if you dare to show off your princess son's stinking airs in front of the people and create unnecessary trouble and conflicts, I won't show mercy.”
Xue Chongjian clenched his fists in anger.
Immediately after, the old city was the first to be cleaned up and renovated.
Women, children, the elderly and the weak assisted in cleaning.
The young men dug drainage ditches and built simple latrines.
Cut down trees and cut down mountains to get stones.
While the blacksmith was forging all kinds of tools, Li Xian quietly gathered a batch of iron pipes.
Although some people noticed it.
However, it did not arouse any suspicion.
The autumn harvest ended.
Tens of thousands of people in the old city were organized in an orderly manner and immediately threw themselves into the transformation of farmland.
Until the winter of the second year of Tianshou.
After the first snowfall in Guanzhong, the huge renovation project that involved tens of thousands of people finally stopped.
Chang 'an City.
"Have you heard? The transformation of 100,000 mu of dry land in the old city has ended.”
"Really? So fast? It's all over?"
"I think so. I heard that bamboo pipes have been laid in every area where the land is relatively concentrated. When spring comes next year, each family will dig their own canal and be able to lead the water to the fields.”
"It would be great if the Prince of Shouchun was the Chang 'an Magistrate.”
"This is nothing. I heard that the old city is better than ours now. The roads are clean, and they even set up a special cleaning team to clean them every day!”
"There's a toilet at the entrance of every lane. It's said that water runs through it, and once the filth is removed, it'll be washed away by the water.”
"I also heard that an old city came to sell things. They exaggerated and said that the capital was too dirty. If it wasn't for money, they wouldn't be willing to come.”
……
Li Xian's vigorous renovation movement in the old city attracted the attention of many people at the beginning.
After a heavy snowfall and the great renovation stopped, all kinds of news spread in the capital.
The commoners under the imperial city discussed curiously.
Great Ming Palace.
The small court meeting.
Only the ministers of the various departments and the ministers of the three provinces participated.
They discussed the situation at the end of the year.
It was nearing the end.
Wu Zetian suddenly asked,"I heard that the people in the city are talking about the old city. What news has there been from the old city recently?"”
Zhang Jianzhi cupped his fists and said," Reporting to the Supreme One, I heard that the old city has completed its repairs. The city has changed greatly. There is news that the old city is cleaner than the capital."”
"I also heard that the transformation of 100,000 mu of dry land has been completed.”
"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Xian is having a blacksmith forge armor!”Wu Sansi suddenly interrupted.
Wu Zetian frowned.
Li Lingyue glanced at Wu Sansi and said,"Imperial Mother, Chong Jian reported that Li Xian, that little bastard, is going to hold a polo competition to show off the glory of the Great Tang.”
"It requires a special type of armor.”
"He works under mother's eyes, so he wouldn't dare to store armor.”
"King Liang, don't be so easily convinced."
Wu Zetian couldn't help but frown.
"Di Qing, go to the old city for me and take a look."”
Ever since Li Xian was assassinated, the court had not been peaceful.
His daughter and nephew would attack each other if they caught a small weakness.
As the small skirmishes increased, the hatred grew stronger.
She was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
He could only suppress her again and again, hoping that her dissatisfied attitude would make them stop.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"Di Qing, after you go, look carefully. You have to check everything clearly!" Wu Zetian instructed.”
"Supreme, I request to go with you!" Wu Sansi didn't believe Di Renjie and wanted to get hold of Li Xian personally.
"Mother, your son requests to go with you!" Li Lingyue refused to be outdone and immediately requested for orders.
Di Renjie saw that Wu Zetian was about to get angry and suggested,"Sovereign, why don't we go and take a look together?”
"The transformation of dry land is of great importance. If County Magistrate Li's method can be fully promoted in Guanzhong, it will be a major event that will benefit the millions of people in Guanzhong!”
Wu Zetian's face darkened as he suppressed his anger and nodded,""Minister Di, you're old enough to plan for the country. You guys go and take a look first. If there's really anything good about the old city, I'll personally inspect it.”
