Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Everyone is not calm.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, when Chen Chu comes later, everyone should try to persuade him well, and don't let him regret it."

After some explanation, Li Er asked someone to welcome Chen Chu in.

After Chen Chu came in, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

But he didn't bother to pay attention.

He stepped forward carelessly, and said, "Father, I just remembered something. Father only said that he would give me the vacant land in Shanzhou as a fief, but he didn't say how much vacant land there is... Now, I will come back Making sure."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out not to regret it!

Li Er laughed, and said: "Boy, you must know that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. In fact... I have asked Li Ji, the head of the Hexi Road Army, to do the calculation. After the calculation is clear, I will send someone to inform you... "

The truth is, everyone already has the data.

It's just that she doesn't plan to tell Chen Chu yet.

Chen Chu asked: "Father, if it is verified by General Li Ji, can it be confirmed?"

Li Er nodded: "That's natural. I have always been at ease in Li Ji's work. The data he approved is naturally accurate..."

Li Er had already planned in his heart to send someone to let Li Ji make a fake data and come back to fool Chen Chu.

Hearing this, Chen Chu took out the map from his bosom, and said, "Father, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble. I just left the palace and received the map of Shanzhou sent by Qingque. The area has been marked on it, a total of 9000 It's more than [-] mu, everyone, please take a look... this has been stamped with the seal of General Li Ji, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Everyone hastily gathered together to have a look.

Almost fainted.

Maps are real.

Area is true.

The big seal is also true.

Li Er: "..."

……

Chapter 310 Conditions Accompanying the Title and Fief

Immediately, everyone including Li Er fell silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just now, they were discussing how to trick Chen Chu.

It is to reduce the area of ​​the vacant land in Shanzhou by about ten times and give it to Chen Chu as a fief.This is normal.

Fortunately, Li Ji's map was in Chen Chu's hands.

Li Er was dumbfounded.

This kid did it on purpose.

For a while, Li Er didn't know what to say.

He has mixed feelings.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Chu asked, "Father, look, there is nothing wrong with this map, right?"

Li Er said helplessly: "Of course there is nothing wrong with the map."

Chen Chu said happily: "Okay, then use the scope of this map as my fief of Ping Xibo, more than 9000 million mu, this is a lot of land, I am ashamed of it, but the kindness of the father, the emperor's kindness, Coupled with the persuasion of the adults, I accepted it..."

Everyone: "..."

Pooh!

shameless!

Get cheap and sell well!

Everyone is a little jealous.

Li Er nodded: "Okay, you go back first, I will give it to you, let alone more than 9000 million mu, even ten 9000 million mu, you deserve it, Chen Chu, remember , you are a hero of Datang."

"In that case, thank you, Father, I will take my leave first." Chen Chu smiled, turned and left.

The Ganlu Hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a long time, Wang Gui sighed: "Your Majesty, are we being reckless... You know, Tuyuhun was brought down by Tang with great effort, and now, is it just given to Chen Chu?"

Everyone sighed.

Wei Zheng said: "Master Wang, this statement is wrong. Although most of the land in Tuyuhun is the fiefdom of Pingxibo, it must also be controlled by Shanzhou... Besides, we have conditions. Within three years If Chen Chu can't make Shanzhou prosperous, not only Ping Xibo's title will be taken back, but all those fiefdoms will also be taken back..."

"Yes, in my opinion, it is almost impossible to make Shanzhou prosperous in three years!"

"That is to say, when the time comes, Chen Chu's title and fief will definitely be taken back."

"Doesn't that mean that Chen Chu's efforts in Shanzhou are wasted?"

"So what, Chen Chu is still young, these are what he should do."

Everyone, you speak my word.

But they all believed that Chen Chu could not meet the court's conditions.

Thinking about it this way, everyone's mood improved a lot.

……

a few days later.

Nanshan Mansion.

Gao Chen, a close attendant, came to personally read out the imperial edict to make Chen Chu Ping Xibo.

However, before reading the edict, Gao Chen said with a smile: "Ping Xibo, Your Majesty has an order. Before reading the edict, Ping Xibo needs to sign a contract..."

"Contract? What contract?"

"Please look at Ping Xibo!"

Gao Chen took out a piece of paper.

Chen Chu took it over and took a look, almost vomiting blood.

According to the meaning of this contract, Chen Chu needs to make Shanzhou prosperous within three years, and the degree of prosperity should not be lower than that of Lanzhou.

Lanzhou is the largest and most prosperous town in Hexi.

Isn't this difficult for the strong?

Chen Chu looked at Gao Chen: "Eunuch Gao, does it mean that if I don't sign it, the edict won't be read out?"

Gao Chen said: "Your Majesty said, if Ping Xibo doesn't sign the contract, let me take the edict back..."

Chen Chu: "..."

What the hell!

Ruthless!

Too shameless!

No wonder the ministers persuaded me to accept the title of Ping Xibo in Ganlu Palace that day.

It turned out to be conditional.

Chen Chu thought about it.

Will Shanzhou be as good as Lanzhou?

It sounds difficult.

However, as long as there is West Datang Company, everything is not difficult.

Thinking about it, Chen Chu signed the contract very simply.

Gao Chen read out the edict and handed it over to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu took the edict, took out the map, and said happily: "From now on, most of Tuyuhun is my fiefdom... These lands are all mine... Hahaha..."

Unlike other people whose fiefdoms are in Guanzhong, the fiefdoms in Chen Chu's hands are now unoccupied.

Li Lizhi stepped forward and said unhappily: "Husband, my father is too deceitful, I will go to the palace to explain to my mother, and ask him to take back this condition..."

She wanted to fight for Chen Chu.

However, Chen Chu stretched out his hand to stop Li Lizhi, and said, "My wife Lizhi, you can't go to find your mother now... Think about it, I, Uncle Ping, don't have a high title, but I have the most fiefdoms in the world, so why is no one objecting? "

"Is it because of the contract?"

"That's right," Chen Chu nodded and explained, "It is precisely because of this contract that if the emperor takes it back, there will be countless people who will immediately oppose it. At that time, my title and fief of Xibo Ping , will definitely be taken back... However, if I can meet the conditions of the contract, then most of the land in Shanzhou will be mine, and no one dares to say anything..."

Li Lizhi was surprised and said: "There are quite a few fiefdoms, but they are all on the edge of the land, besides, Father wants you to make Shanzhou as prosperous as Lanzhou within three years, this... This is impossible at all. "

Chen Chu laughed: "Others think it can't be done, but it's not impossible. Shanzhou, the most lacking thing now is people. Once a large number of people enter, it will surpass Lanzhou in less than three years..."

"But where did these people come from? How about asking the court to order the people in Guanzhong to be forcibly moved to Shanzhou?" Li Lizhi suggested.

"No," Chen Chu shook his head, "I, Chen Chu, never do things that are difficult for others... I already have a solution, wait for me to send a letter to Qing Que, as long as he does what I say, within two months, Countless people will take the initiative to go to Shanzhou!"

As for the specific plan, Chen Chu planned to keep it secret.

Immediately, he wrote a letter.

……

Hexi.

Shanzhou City.

West Datang Company.

Li Tai had already moved out of Li Ji's General's Mansion, and had someone buy a huge mansion as the office of the West Datang Company.

Today's Shanzhou City seems to have become a stronghold of the Western Datang Company.

In this city alone, there are more than 20 offices of the West Datang Company.

And Shanzhou City, which was originally dilapidated and withered, gradually became lively because of the arrival of the West Datang Company.

In addition, Tubo has resumed trade with Datang, and merchants traveling between Tubo and Chang'an all regard Shanzhou as a foothold.

now.

The headquarters of West Datang Corporation.

Xue Rengui reported: "His Royal Highness, according to the current speed, in another month, all the cotton seeds can be planted... However, the general recently discovered that there are many people peeping at the place where we plant cotton. , the last general arrested a few, and found out that they were spies from Tubo... May I ask Your Highness, how should these spies be dealt with?"

Growing cotton can also uncover spies.

Xue Rengui felt that this was outrageous!

He looked at Li Tai eagerly.

……

Chapter 311 Flame Mountain, Gold Mine

Hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly stood up and asked, "Are there many spies caught?"

Xue Rengui replied: "Your Highness, there are many spies...you can just catch them. These people inquire about cotton planting everywhere."

"Hahaha……"

Li Tai laughed loudly and said: "Sure enough, as Chen Chu expected, he already knew that the Tubo people would not be able to sit still. He never thought that Songtsan Gampo would send spies to investigate the matter of cotton planting." , hahaha... Rengui, pass on the order, and if you meet Tubo spies in the future, just arrest a few, not all of them..."

Xue Rengui was taken aback: "Your Highness, why?"

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Specifically, I can't tell you clearly, because I don't know what Chen Chu's plan is, so you just do it."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xue Rengui took the order and left.

Li Tai got up and was about to go out.
