Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

.mhtx. "What? To donate 10,000 to the imperial court?"

After hearing the words of the county magistrate in Lantian County, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

If it was left in the past, all the taxes collected by the Lantian county government every year would have to be handed over to the imperial court, and no one would dare to withhold it unless it was too long, but since Li Er awarded the entire Lantian county to Li Zexuan as a fief. , Li Zexuan has become the veritable king of Lantian County. The taxes collected by the entire Lantian County do not have to be handed over to the court, but belong to Li Zexuan's private property!

However, since Li Zexuan returned to Chang'an from Longhu Mountain, various businesses such as restaurants, Qiqu Pavilion, and Qiqu Culture have been doing well. In just over a year, he has earned a huge family business. He naturally doesn't care. The poor tax that a small Lantian County collects every year!

Last year, Li Zexuan built the Datang United Medical Center in Lantian County at his own expense. Afterwards, he officially handed over the right to use the Lantian County tax to the magistrate He, the Lantian County Yap. He had only one request for the magistrate He, that It is taken from the people and used for the people. The taxes collected by the Lantian County Government every year must be used to improve the people's livelihood, such as building roads and bridges, building schools and so on!

A few months ago, Lantian County underwent a major renovation, and all the roads in the city were replaced by wide and flat concrete roads. All these projects were made with money from the county government! Even if sometimes the county government can't take out that much money at once, it doesn't matter, you can borrow it from Yanhuang Qianzhuang first, and then return the money after the business tax comes up next month! This is a bit like the local government borrowing and borrowing in modern society to build people's livelihood!

So when I heard that the county magistrate was going to donate the 10,000 guans from the treasury of the county government, all of the people present couldn't help but feel a little pain, because the money was all from the county government, once it was donated Now, the county government treasury will shrink a lot all of a sudden. If the county government does some more projects to improve people's livelihood, it is likely to face the dilemma of lack of money!

"Your Majesty, take out ten thousand, is it a bit too much?"

Meng Xiancheng swallowed his saliva and said tentatively.

many! Of course more! If it were left in the past, the officials in the county government would not have been able to touch so much money as 10,000 guans in their entire lives, because in the entire Tang Dynasty, almost no county could earn more than 10,000 guans in annual tax revenue!

"Yeah! County magistrate! According to Lord Hou's plan, the county will expand the city and lay out electric wires, so that the people in the city can use electric lights, both of which will require a lot of money! If you donate 10,000 yuan Going out, the next two projects can't be pushed forward!"

Master Wang hesitated for a moment, and said with his hands.

The magistrate He waved his hand and said, "Expanding the city and laying electric wires are indeed the next things the county government will do, but these two things are not inconsistent with the donation of 10,000! With a sufficient amount of military resources, the imperial court will have a little less chance of winning against the Turks. If the national war is defeated and the nest is overthrown, how can there be any eggs? By then, let alone Lantian County, the people of other states and counties in the Tang Dynasty will pass the time. The bitter days of war and displacement!

At that time, what was the use of building a city in Lantian County no matter how big it was? Even if the people use electric lights, can they rewrite their destiny? 10,000 coin is a small contribution from Lantian County to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will be able to win this national war! Later, we will expand the city and lay the electric wires. Our county government has no money. We can borrow money from Yanhuang Bank first. After a year and a half, we can return the money with the principal and interest after we have turned around!

Lord Hou has always been loyal to the monarch and patriotic and loves the people like a son. I believe that even if Lord Hou knew about this, he would support his decision! What do you think? "

He county magistrate has never been greedy for money or lust in his life, but he always loses his courage at critical moments. Otherwise, the rampant bullies and local gangsters in Lantian County would not have been let go for so long. He mentioned the issue of He County Magistrate, and He County Magistrate will naturally keep it in mind!

Let the county government fully participate in the fund-raising conference held by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce this time, which is the decision made by the county magistrate after careful consideration. !

"The county magistrate's remarks are like a slap in the face, and they really correspond to the words in the "Datang Daily", the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the people. The county government donated 10,000 yuan!"

He county magistrate's remarks stand not only in the country's national righteousness, but also on the current and future situation of the county government, and people can't find any reason to refute. Archway.

"Zhang also supports it!"

Seeing this, Master Zhang also stood up and bowed his hands.

"I will also support the magistrate!"

Hu Dianshi, Wei Wangxian, Sun Zhaotou and others also got up and said.

Seeing this scene, Magistrate He couldn't help but grinned, stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I will work together to help the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce organize this fundraising conference! Lord Hou is not in Lantian County at this time, I will wait. Then take care of this "home" for Lord Hou!"

Lantian County is Li Zexuan's fief and the seat of the Hou Mansion. It is not an exaggeration to call it Li Zexuan's home!

"Okay! Everything is up to the county magistrate's orders!"

Li Zexuan's image in the hearts of all Lantian County people is extremely tall. After hearing what the county magistrate said, everyone couldn't help but feel proud for a while, so everyone responded in unison.

………………………………………………

"Look again, what else is missing on this sand table?"

As dusk approached, in the main camp of the Xuanjia Army, inside Li Zexuan's tent, Li Zexuan frowned and asked Cheng Chu silently.

road.

In front of the two of them is a nearly completed sand table, on which the peaks, trees, roads and rivers are all lifelike, and it is completely a miniature version of Niushou Mountain!

"No! It's really gone! I don't have a drop left in my head. I've told you everything I know, Xiaoxuan, just let my brother go!"

Cheng Chumo scratched his chicken coop-like hair and apologized to Li Zexuan.

Although Li Zexuan required the lieutenant generals and soldiers to wear helmets and armor during training, Cheng Chumo didn't train in the afternoon. In the midsummer season, this guy wouldn't be foolish enough to still wear armor! During this half-day, Li Zexuan asked Cheng Chumo to the bottom of the topography of Niushou Mountain. When this guy thought about a problem, he couldn't help scratching his head. After an afternoon, this guy's hair naturally turned into a chicken coop. !

After all, there is no "rejoice" in this era, which can make his hair extraordinarily smooth. If you grab it too much, the hair will naturally be messy!

"Okay, okay! Let's do this first!"

Seeing Cheng Chumo's chicken coop head and a bitter face, Li Zexuan suppressed his smile and said, "It's still a while before the soldiers finish their training, why don't you go to the kitchen and help out!"

"What? Go to the kitchen to help? What help? Help with cooking? I'm not going! I've been tired all afternoon, Xiaoxuan, anyway, let me take a break!"

Cheng Chumo heard the words, stared at him, shaking his head like a rattle, not even going.

On this hot day, although it wasn't cool inside the tent, it was obviously hotter in the kitchen. It was as hot as a stove, so he didn't bother to go! Besides, he, Cheng Lumo, is also the son of the prince, so how could he go to such things as cooking? He doesn't even know how to cook!

Li Zexuan glanced at him and said lightly: "It's ok if you don't go to the kitchen, then you can go to the school grounds to continue training! By the way, make up for the training tasks left in the afternoon!"

When Cheng Lumo heard this, his face immediately flushed with anxiety. He pointed at Li Zexuan and jumped: "Xiao...Xiaoxuan, don't deceive people too much! We are brothers after all, do you want to be so heartless? Look at me in the afternoon. For the sake of helping you so hard, can't you let me rest for an hour?"

Li Zexuan looked unmoved, and said, "You are resting in the camp, while other soldiers are sweating like rain on the school grounds. Since entering the army, all soldiers should be treated equally, and those who do not contribute to the army will eventually be abandoned! Besides, you Since He Baolin came to this Xuanjia Army with me, I have the responsibility to take care of you on behalf of Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi!"

"Take care? This...is this what you mean by taking care of?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a while, and he felt that his worldview had been overturned. If possible, he would like to say to Li Zexuan, "Please don't take care of me, let me go alone"!

"What? Do you want Uncle Cheng to help me judge after I go out? See if I'm taking care of you like this?"

Li Zexuan glared at the rammed goods angrily and said.

"Uh, forget it! No matter what you say, my father is always on your side!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo wilted suddenly. He, who has been a father and son with Cheng Yaojin for more than ten years, is still very excited!

"Then why don't you go to the kitchen to help~?"

Li Zexuan smiled and said lightly.

"Oh!"

Cheng Chu replied in a dull tone, and then left the tent in a dazed way!

"Oh, this kid!"

Looking at Cheng Chumo's back, Li Zexuan couldn't help shaking his head.

Cheng Chumo is an upright and righteous person. He is indeed impeccable when it comes to dealing with friends, but he has a lot of stinky faults, the biggest of which is laziness!

Last year, Qiu Bearded Ke unexpectedly became a martial arts instructor at Yanhuang Academy, and unexpectedly accepted Cheng Chumo as an apprentice. Cheng Chumo was trained under Qiu Bearded Ke for more than half a year. During this half-year period, Cheng Chumo's martial arts realm has improved quite a bit. Quick, this shows that this kid is actually not bad at martial arts, but usually no one is around him to spur him, so he has been lazy for more than ten years!

And Cheng Chumo, as the son of Duke Lu, does not need to seek extraordinary feats or official wealth in this life. He naturally has reasons and capital to be lazy for a lifetime! But some people don't want him to be lazy all the time!

This time, Cheng Yaojin also sent Cheng Chumo into the Xuanjia Army. In addition to adding a talisman to Li Zexuan, he wanted to make Cheng Chumo hone in the Xuanjia Army!

And Li Zexuan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity in the Xuanjia Army to hone the lazy spirit of Cheng Lumo!

So he will not allow this guy to be lazy in the army! Asking Cheng Chumo to help make the sand table in the afternoon was really not a helpless move, not to help this guy get lazy!

…………………………………………

"Cheng Chumo, why did you come to the kitchen? It's not time for dinner yet, so you came too early?"

E word camp, housing.

Cheng Chumo is Li Zexuan's personal guard, and he has a special identity. After all, he is the son of the prince. There are many sergeants in the Ezi Battalion who used to be soldiers under Cheng Yaojin, so basically most people still know Cheng Chumo. Yes, as soon as this guy entered the kitchen, a cook stopped him and said.

The Xuanjia Army has one stove for ten people. Since there is no gas, liquefied gas, electrical appliances, steamers, etc. in this era, it is necessary to burn wood. It takes a lot of time for one person to prepare meals for ten people. On the other hand, in the afternoon, when there was still an hour before the end of the training, the Firehead Army had already stopped training in advance and went to prepare meals.

Therefore, when Cheng Chumo came to the kitchen, the fireheads were already busy! It's just that everyone thought this guy was here to eat!

"Who said I came to eat? I came to help you on the order of joining the army!"

Cheng Chumo slapped the firehead's arm, pouted, and said.

"...What? Are you here to help? Help with the food?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, the Huotou soldiers were stunned for a moment, and after they reacted, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Most of the men in the army are upright and straightforward. Besides, Li Zexuan and Sun Zhiping have always emphasized to the soldiers that all the soldiers in the army are treated equally, so these soldiers did not care about the identity of the son of Duke Cheng Chumo, and boldly joked with him!

"Cut! If you don't believe it, then forget it! It just so happens that I am happy too! It's just that if I go back and be asked by Li Canjun, I will say that you don't need my help and force me to go back!"

Facing the roar of laughter from the crowd, Cheng Chumo was not annoyed, but rather secretly delighted in his heart. He rolled his eyes and turned around.

"Brother Cheng, wait!"

The noisy kitchen suddenly quieted down, but the chef in the Huotou Army was still shrewd. He rolled his eyes and quickly stepped forward to hold Cheng Chumo, saying, "Since Li Canjun asked you to help, then come in and help! The middle brothers are about to finish their training, we have to make the food quickly! You see what you can do, just do it!"

This guy can be said to be outspoken. The main idea of ​​what he said is that the generals in the camp are coming to dinner soon, and we are still busy cooking. Don't come here to cause trouble, just find some work and do it yourself!

The reason why he said this is because the husband knew that Cheng Chumo, the son of a prince, would definitely not be able to cook. Instead of letting him make trouble in the kitchen, it would be better to let him play freely!

But I don't know, this is exactly what Cheng Chumo wanted!

"Hey! Okay! Then I'll help you chopping wood outside!".

Cheng Chumo didn't have the slightest sense of shame, instead he smiled and said loudly.
