Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 25 Li Shimin's Worries
Zhang Fu naturally guessed the reason. After all, there was something going on here, and the court immediately sent someone to ask for things.

Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that there was someone who would contact the imperial court at any time, and this person didn't think about anything other than Hou Junji.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I understand." Zhang Fu nodded and went out.

After a few days, smallpox infected people died one after another, but fortunately, the people of Datang have basically been injected with vaccinia, and the smallpox virus has been completely suppressed.

After more than two months, potatoes and sweet potatoes have also been harvested.

Looking at the mountain of vegetables, Zhang Fu and the others were all smiles.

"This disaster has finally passed. Now people's houses have been built and they still have food to eat. It's all thanks to Mr. Hou!"

Luo Bin shook his head, "It is only through the hard work of the people that they have the opportunity to have enough food and clothing."

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Marquis Wu is our savior in Longyou! We will always support Marquis Wu!"

"Yes! From now on Lord Wuhou will be the god in our hearts!"

"You are the hero in our hearts!"

Facing the sincere smiling faces, Luo Bin was also filled with joy.

On the other hand, Hou Junji had an old face, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ding! The host successfully completed the task and got 0 points. After deducting the borrowed points, the current point balance is [-]."

Luo Bin sighed deeply, and then looked at Hou Junji aside.

"General Hou, it's time to write a letter to His Majesty, telling Your Majesty that we have successfully relieved the disaster and are about to return to Chang'an."

Hou Junji smiled when he heard the words, and said hypocritically: "The Marquis Wu has made great contributions to the disaster relief, why don't you write a letter to the court yourself?"

Luo Bin chuckled, and took a meaningful look at Hou Junji, "How can this Marquis be as good at writing letters as General Hou?"

"After these few months, I think General Hou is better at communicating with His Majesty."

Hearing what Luo Bin said, Hou Junji's smile froze, and he grinned after a long time and said, "Master Hou was joking, these are also my duties."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the old man will go back and write a letter to His Majesty."

After Hou Junji left, Zhang Fucai frowned and stepped forward, "Master Hou, are you leaving now?"

"Well, I've been in Qinzhou for more than four months, and it's time to go back to Chang'an." Luo Bin nodded in response.

To be honest, I was really reluctant to stay here for such a long time.

Although Qinzhou is not as prosperous as Chang'an, the people here are simple and honest, and everyone treats him from the bottom of their hearts. Compared with Chang'an, there are less hypocritical calculations and intrigues.

If he didn't want to avenge his brother and the system didn't allow it, he really wanted to stay in Qinzhou forever.

Zhang Fu sighed deeply when he heard the words, "Although this Qinzhou is only one-third of an acre of land, and the official is only a small Qinzhou governor, staying here can be regarded as carefree."

"It's not easy to be an official, but it's even more difficult to be an official in Chang'an. I don't know when I'll see you again. I hope the Marquis will cherish it." Zhang Fu bowed to Luo Bin, "If there is a need in the future, the Marquis can give orders at any time. I will die."

"Master Zhang said something serious." Luo Bin helped Zhang Fu up and smiled sincerely, "Don't worry, maybe in a few months I will come to Qinzhou to stay for two days when I get tired from staying in Chang'an. Take care of yourself too.”

"The seeds here must be harvested and ready for autumn plowing." Luo Bin warned uneasily: "If you want not to be troubled by food, you must keep farming."

"When the granary is full, I will build another one, and cultivate as soon as possible while it is still here. I can plant as much as I can. If there is a drought or flood in the future, I will not be caught blind."

According to the historical records of later generations, there were successive droughts and floods in the years before the founding of Zhenguan, and the common people were in dire straits, so it is necessary to remind them more.

"The lower officials will remember what Lord Hou said, and please rest assured, Lord Hou." Zhang Fu replied solemnly.

"That's good. Master Zhang will also send someone to pass on my words to the governors of other states in Longyou."

Luo Bin pursed his lips, and then continued: "Natural disasters are impermanent and unpredictable."

"But once a disaster does occur one day, I hope that Longyou will be Datang's strongest backing."

Hearing the words, Zhang Fu also had more fighting spirit, and immediately cupped his hands to Luo Bin, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely not disappoint Lord Hou."

Hearing Zhang Fu's words, Luo Bin smiled reassuringly and left.

above the hall.

Li Shimin also told the court that Luo Bin and Hou Jun returned to the early morning after meeting for a while, and arrived about half a month later.

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, whether it is an earthquake or smallpox, Marquis Wu has made great contributions."

"I implore Your Majesty to set up a celebration banquet to clean up the dust for Marquis Wu."

After saying that, Wei Zheng bent his body even more.

"........."

Seeing this, Li Shimin pursed his lips, and finally nodded after thinking for a while.

"Wei Aiqing is right. Marquis Wu has made great contributions this time, both in terms of disaster relief and peace of mind. I should celebrate it."

"According to my will, a banquet will be held in the palace in half a month to clean up the dust for Lord Wu."

As soon as this remark came out, Changsun Wuji's face darkened a bit, but he finally endured it and did not object.

As soon as Li Shimin came to court, he went to the palace of Empress Changsun.

"Guanyin maid."

Empress Changsun turned around when she heard the sound, and then greeted her with a smile, "Your Majesty is in a good mood, but what happy event is there?"

Li Shimin nodded, then took Empress Changsun's hand, turned and sat down, "Marquis Wu has finished the disaster relief in Qinzhou, and he will return to Chang'an with Hou Junji in a few days."

"In half a month, I will hold a celebration banquet for him to wash away the dust."

Empress Changsun smiled, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have solved another difficult problem, and this smallpox vaccine, Marquis Wu has really contributed a lot to our Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face darkened a bit and he fell into silence.

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin's mood was wrong, she frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shimin sighed softly, and slightly supported his forehead, "I once wanted to kill this Luo Bin, but he made great contributions to me time and time again."

"Whether it was the Longyou earthquake or smallpox, even if I don't want to, I have to admit that if it hadn't been for Luo Bin, I wouldn't have suffered a disaster at all. No matter how serious it was, the Tang Dynasty might have been destroyed."

"But the better and more powerful he is, the more popular he is, the more flustered I am, Guanyin maidservant, I..."

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips when he heard the words, then lightly patted Li Shimin's shoulder, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, you don't worry too much. Luo Bin has followed you since you were the King of Qin, and he has been loyal for so many years." , if he had second thoughts, he would have rebelled during the Xuanwu Sect, why wait until now?"
