Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 242 How can there be a corner that cannot be dug?
"Liu Yidao, how's it going? Is the secret roast duck that the king told you yesterday ready?" Li Mo's urging voice came from outside the dining room!
"I'm coming!"

Liu Yidao hurriedly replied, sure enough, His Royal Highness King Yan is the most punctual for meals. Immediately, Liu Yidao quickly took out an iron hook, and then picked out two roast ducks from the oven and put them on the tray!
In the dining hall, all the staff of King Yan’s Mansion have already been seated. They have had the experience of eating dinner twice, and everyone is not so restrained today, but for the 310 eight beautiful women who came to eat dinner, all of them are a little bit red-faced !

There was that thin-skinned little show girl, her face was flushed even more, her sleeves covered her cheeks, she didn't dare to look at anyone at all!

But Li Mo was unaware of this. Well, it's a familiar thing once, and you'll get familiar with it after a few more visits!

"Your Highness, this is the secret roast duck you told me about yesterday, try it and see if it tastes like that!"

Liu Yidao came up with a large tray, on which were two roasted golden and crispy ducks, and according to His Highness King Yan's instructions, a few small knives were also placed on it!

Li Mo sniffed his nose lightly, and immediately couldn't help but praise: "Okay, you are indeed the chef of Zuixianlou, this skill is incredible!"

Li Mo's words are not flattering, but sincere, Liu Yidao's two ducks are indeed roasted well, and the most important thing is that these days the chickens and ducks are all serious about eating grains, bugs, and vegetables Son, a good chicken and duck!
Pick up a knife and lightly slice off the duck leg, the flesh and bones are separated, the skin is scorched and the meat is tender, and the fire is just right!
This kind of technique is really beyond the grasp of ordinary people, especially Liu Yidao is able to do it for the first time, and he is able to achieve such a level. He really deserves to be a chef!
(Liu Yidao: His Royal Highness Yan Wang said well, although I have roasted more than a dozen ducks before that!)

Li Mo had a comfortable meal, because from the beginning to the end, except for Liu Yidao, who seemed to be a waiter in the restaurant, who greeted him, none of his second brother and those in charge of the Qin Palace came forward!

So this made Li Mo eat this meal as if he was going out of a restaurant. Liu Yidao even made a few of his own special dishes, and Li Mo also tasted them. The tastes can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages. He praised Liu Yidao a few words, but Liu Yidao was so excited that he couldn't find his way!

……

Changwu County,
After Zhou Qing and Wang Peng returned to Changwu County, they split up and acted immediately. Although Changwu County became the fiefdom of King Yan, Zhou Qing was still the county magistrate of Changwu County, but Zhou Qing's direct leader changed from Chang'an Fuyin to It's just Yan Wang Li Mo!

However, when Zhou Qing returned to the county government and announced the division of Changwu County into the fiefdom of King Yan, it caused quite a stir in Changwu County!

Although Changwu County is not big, it is impossible for all of them to be poor. After all, there are still a hundred or ten families that are passable, and they are rich households in Changwu County.

Of course, the wealthy households in this county can only live a good life compared with those farmers and hunters in Changwu County who are farming and hunting. Compared with the real rich and powerful, they are still far worse, but Even so, it still caused a great shock among these wealthy households.

All the land of a county is given to King Yan, which means that they are also within the scope of this county. For those ordinary people, farmers, hunters, this is actually not much different.

After all, paying taxes to the King of Yan is similar to paying taxes to the imperial court. It is impossible for the imperial court to collect it again after the imperial court collects it again, but it is completely different for these wealthy households!

Especially in Changwu County, the Wang family, the Liu family, and the Xie family are the most opposed!
Although Changwu County has little arable land and many mountains and forests, it still has acres of land, and the Wang family is the largest landlord in Changwu County.

And the Liu family is in the fabric and clothing business in Changwu County, basically monopolizing the entire Changwu County and surrounding areas!

The business of the Xie family is similar to that of the Liu family, but they deal with those hunters. Those furs such as tiger skins and wolf skins that the hunters hunted in the deep mountains,

There are also all kinds of yams picked, which are basically bought by the Xie family, and then the Xie family sells them to the Chang'an area and several surrounding counties through their own channels!
These three families can be said to be the largest local tyrants and landlords in the entire Changwu County. Even when Zhou Qing was the magistrate of Changwu County, he had nothing to do with these three families.

He even needs to establish a good relationship with these three families in order to be able to do a good job as the county magistrate of Changwu County and collect enough taxes!
Logically speaking, Zhou Qing is Changwu County, and the seventh-rank official of the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of the three local tyrants and landlords in one county, but there are people behind Liu Wang and Xie's three families!

And the supporters can barely be said to be Qin Wangfu, because these three families can be regarded as the outer periphery of Qin Wang's influence, but no matter what, they can be regarded as entering the Qin Wang's sphere of influence. Let me ask Zhou Qing, a foreign county magistrate, how dare he fight with him? These three are against each other!
So even though Zhou Qing had a political value of ninety points, he wasted three years in Changwu County without making any progress!
Although Li Shimin's literary and military skills are extremely strong, and he has made great contributions in the Tang Dynasty, but now the world is still uncertain, and the throne is still hanging in the balance. This kind of self-serving and clique formation cannot be avoided no matter what.

Only in this way can Li Shimin gain enough strength and support, so certain things cannot be avoided. If an official like Zhou Qing who is actually capable and hopeful for promotion is really accidentally or unintentionally standing in the way of King Qin on the way!

So I'm sorry, under the overwhelming momentum, how could the king of Qin notice a talented seventh-rank county magistrate?
After Zhou Qing announced the appointment of the imperial court, he started to make announcements. Naturally, he was busy preparing manpower and tools for King Yan. Although Li Mo did not directly order these things, how could Zhou Qing do that? I don't understand it at all. After all, once 5000 people start construction, it doesn't matter what they do, but all kinds of tools, meals, clothes, and shelters are indispensable!
It is not possible to wait ten days later for His Royal Highness King Yan to come to Changwu County before rushing to prepare other corresponding things. If that is the case, why should His Royal Highness Yan Wang give them ten days?
