God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

"All?"

Duan Xuan nodded, and said bitterly: "Brother, I'm not in good health this time, so I'll take all these carrots. I'll give you twenty carrots. Anyway, you can go to that merchant and buy some more."

Hey!

Wang Xiuchang sighed, and said with difficulty: "Okay then, but bro, we want to trade real money. After all, I also want to find someone else to buy it. If I make a white note, they won't recognize it."

"Don't worry, I've got someone to bring the money behind, and by the way, give me some of your rice seeds." Seeing that Wang Xiu agreed, Brother Duan was overjoyed, this credit has been achieved.

Wang Xiu nodded, with a bit of reluctance, and sighed: "Brother Duan, if it weren't for the good relationship between you and me, I really wouldn't want to sell it. This thing is a real rarity."

"Haha, the relationship between our two brothers is so good."

Duan Xuan laughed out loud, but in her heart she was full of contempt. I have stolen all your achievements, you idiot, and you are still talking about a good relationship. I think you are so stupid.

Fearing that Wang Xiu would go back on his word, he moved all the things out, and then asked his long history to hand over the money to Wang Xiu.

The transaction was successful!

For a moment, he couldn't help showing a smile, and now he feels relieved, the credit has come.

The emperor gave Wang Xiu a loyal earl, and I am afraid that he will be named a marquis this time. This is a great achievement for longevity.

Seeing him so happy, Wang Xiu couldn't help sighing: "If I knew Brother Duan liked carrots so much, I shouldn't have sent a few bags to Chang'an earlier. Maybe the emperor doesn't like to eat carrots. Why don't I help Brother Duan."

puff!

Brother Duan's smile stopped abruptly.

He looked at Wang Xiu blankly, and said in a voiceless voice: "What, you already gave the carrot to the emperor?"

"That's right, I'm the Earl of Loyalty. How can I forget about the Emperor if I have something good? I sent it over immediately, and it's probably almost here now." Wang Xiu said innocently.

Chapter 23 Chenla's Generous Gift

"Brother Duan, why are you crying?"

Looking at Duan Xuan who suddenly shed tears, Wang Xiu looked worried, as if the relationship between the two was really as close as brothers.

"Ah, my money!"

Duan Xuan's heart ached. He was going to make a great contribution, but he never expected that it would be like this. This guy Wang Xiu had already sent him up.

Damn it, I bought it for twice the price.

Woohoo, my money.

He couldn't help but picked up a carrot and bit it down. It's all my money.

Wang Changshi was on the sidelines with a dazed look on his face. Just now, his governor told him to be more careful not to be touched by carrots, so why is he gnawing on himself now.

Duan Xuan left, leaving with sadness.

As a good brother, Wang Xiu sent him all the way to the gate, and his crying voice could be heard from afar: "This mouthful of twenty guan is my money!!"

"Giggle!"

Xiaojiu leaned forward and backward while laughing, and said proudly: "This guy still wants to cheat you, probably because he wants to buy carrots and give them to the emperor. It's over, the face of the good guy is the same as that of a dead father."

This paragraph of Xuan is really stealing chickens but paying a handful of rice on credit, it's really ridiculous.

"Hmph, this guy suddenly called him a brother, I knew he had a conspiracy, and he wanted to trick me. Don't you know the principles of being an official?" Wang Xiu sneered.

This governor has watched a lot of TV dramas. Being an official can't be boring, you have to walk around in front of the emperor often.

Even if I can't go to Chang'an, I can still feel my presence from time to time, and promotion and fortune are naturally indispensable.

This is the forbearance of the governor.

No, official way!

"Hee hee, Mr. Lang is so smart, he easily stole so much money from this guy, he will probably cry to death when he goes back." Xiao Jiu covered his mouth and laughed straight, just thinking about it made him very happy.

At this time, Qinglong on the side spoke.

"My lord, according to the information I have collected these days, this Duan Xuan has quite a background. It is said that he is related to Fan Guogong Duan Zhixuan."

Duan Zhixuan!

Wang Xiu nodded. If it was related to this person, then it really has a lot to do with it.

Duan Zhixuan is Fan Guogong now, and will be changed to Bao Guogong in the future. He is a person above Lingyan Pavilion, and he is definitely a strong backer. This old boy is actually a related family.

"It's just a prince, they can't do anything to me, as long as Jiaozhou is in my hands, they can't do anything to me!"

The status of the governor of Jiaozhou Prefecture is not low. Even if Duan Zhixuan wants to offend him, he has to weigh it carefully.

As for Duan Xuan, Wang Xiu is even less afraid.

As long as this guy buys the seeds back, he will come back sooner or later. This kind of thing is unbearable.

Qinglong nodded, and didn't say anything more, he just reminded him.

"Hey, what is that?"

At this time, Xiaojiu suddenly pointed at the intersection, and said with a surprised face: "Wow, sir, look what that is, it's such a big guy."

Wang Xiu followed her gaze and looked over, couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Fuck, it's an elephant!"

Isn't this an elephant? With its huge size and long nose, the whole ground seems to be trembling when it walks. It is simply a giant.

What's happening here?

"Qinglong, go and see what's going on, why did this elephant appear in Jiaozhou?" Wang Xiu frowned.

I haven't heard of elephants in this area of ​​Jiaozhou. Could it be that they used to hide in the mountains?

Qinglong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this should be the envoys from Chenla and Linyi. They should have brought this elephant."

messenger?

Wang Xiu immediately became interested, and stood at the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion waiting for them to arrive. The so-called letting them go for a while was simply put aside.

Because he is very interested in this elephant, to be precise, he is interested in the elephant soldiers that run rampant in Southeast Asia, this thing looks domineering.

"The envoys of the small country are meeting with the governor!"

"Well, welcome to Jiaozhou, but with all due respect, this is the first time we greet each other." Wang Xiu said with neither joy nor sadness in his eyes as usual.

The two envoys couldn't help but their hearts skipped a beat. It seemed that although the governor was young, he was not easy to deal with. He showed no signs of happiness or anger, and he was clearly an old Jianghu.

With a move in his heart, the Chenla envoy smiled and said, "Governor, we have come here with the friendship of Chenla, and it is specially to celebrate the great governor becoming the lord of Jiaozhou."

Seeing Wang Xiu staring at the elephant, he was immediately overjoyed, as long as this one is interested, this is a good signal.

If Wang Xiu didn't respond, it would be a big trouble.

"Great governor, this elephant was given to you by our king. The elephant represents unparalleled power and is a symbol of strength. Just like the strength of the governor, it is powerful in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, your king has a heart. I like this elephant very much, but it would be even better if there were more elephants."

"This..." The envoy of Chenla looked embarrassed. If it was an ordinary thing, he would have agreed directly.

But there are not so many things like this in Chenla, and it is not so easy to want more elephants.

Wang Xiu saw his embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Of course, the Dudu has seen your friendship, so naturally he won't embarrass his friends. The Dudu can buy other elephants, or exchange them with things."

"Thank you for your generosity, the governor. I will definitely tell His Majesty the King when I go back."

The envoy heaved a sigh of relief, this is okay, if he buys it with money, he will be able to explain it when he goes back.

The envoy from Linyi saw that the gift from Zhenla was appreciated, and his complexion changed slightly, because he didn't even look at them when he saw Wang Xiu, which was clearly dissatisfied with them.

"Great Governor, we also have elephants in Linyi. If you like, we can give you one. But this time what we give is a jasper coral, which is a rare treasure..."

Wang Xiu was not interested in the jasper and coral, but he was a little interested in his promise.

Since there are also elephants in Linyi, if there are more elephants, there may be hope for elephant soldiers.

After talking casually for a few words, Wang Xiu threw them to Pang Tong, and went back to sleep.

What Chenla Linyi has nothing to do with him now, everything has to wait for the moment when the army is formed.

But the top priority, Xiangbing can be put on the agenda.

Chapter 24 This thing is so amazing

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Li Shimin looked at several large boxes in front of him, and couldn't help showing surprise.

"carrot?"

Beside him, Empress Changsun was holding a carrot and looking at it curiously. This thing has never been seen before, and it looks quite beautiful.

Beside her, a beautiful little loli stared at the carrot with watery eyes, it looked delicious.

The guards on one side nodded and said: "My Majesty and Empress, this thing was sent by the governor's office of Jiaozhou. According to the governor Wang Xiu, this thing is a kind of vegetable, which can be eaten raw or boiled. Fry and eat."

"vegetable?"

Li Shimin was a little fuzzy about this concept. He was just about to speak, but he heard a click from the side. His little daughter had already taken a bite, and ate it together like a little rabbit.

Li Shimin's face turned pale, and he lost his voice and said, "Little Si, why are you eating indiscriminately?"

Although he believed in Wang Xiu, Xiao Si had been in poor health since he was a child. If he ruined his health by eating recklessly, it would be a serious crime.

The little si opened his eyes wide and was still chewing in his mouth. He said pleasantly, "Father, Wang Xiu said that this thing can be eaten raw, so the little si tried it for the father. But this thing is really good. It's delicious, but the taste is a bit weird."

Hearing what the little princess said, the guard on the side picked up a piece of paper in the box and said happily: "By the way, this smell is the smell of vitamins that Governor Wang Xiu said. It is said that eating this carrot can make people strong." , enhance the body's resistance to disease."

"Father, what are vitamins?" Xiao Si's eyes rolled, full of curiosity.

"This is..."

Li Shimin laughed dryly, who knows what vitamins are.

Empress Changsun took the piece of paper from the guard and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Empress Changsun couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and lost her voice: "Your Majesty, if Wang Xiu's words are all true, Xiao Si really needs to eat more."

After speaking, she couldn't help but also took two, asked the maid on one side to help clean it carefully, and then handed one to Li Shimin.

"I want to eat too?"

Li Shimin was dubious, took the paper and looked at it, couldn't move his eyes immediately, and murmured: "What a carrot, it can delay aging, it's incredible."

This can't be Wang Xiu's deceit, does this kid dare to lie to me?

"It's hard to say how to delay aging, but it says it can protect the body, resist diseases, and get rid of roundworms, dysentery and night blindness. This can be seen."

A smile flashed in Empress Changsun's eyes, if Wang Xiu dares to lie, I will let you know what Tianwei is.

Last time because of Wang Xiu, she came forward to warn Changsun Wuji.

Although she wouldn't care about Wang Xiu, but if Wang Xiu asked for trouble, she wouldn't mind letting Wang Xiu show his feet.

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, the imperial physician ordered Lu Yang to come here. I want to find someone to try it myself to see if this carrot is really so magical."

If it is true, it means a lot.

He looked at the little sizi who was gnawing on the carrot, and couldn't help showing the brilliance of being a father. Maybe this carrot could make the little sizi get better.

The imperial physician Ling Lu Yang was called over in a daze. Looking at the carrots, he couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle. He had never seen these things before, so it was useless to call me over.

Li Shimin looked at the bewildered Lu Yang, and naturally saw his doubts, and reprimanded him: "Hmph, useless stuff, this was written by Wang Xiu, and it is said that it was told to him by an overseas businessman, go and test it." Is it really so amazing?"

call……

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, it is good to have this thing, at least he can know the general purpose and usage.

But when he finished reading it, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Is this carrot so magical?"

He didn't even wash it, he just took a carrot and took a big bite, which made the little girl next to him very angry, these carrots were all hers, this scoundrel took such a big bite at once.

He also didn't care about Li Shimin, the emperor and empress, and directly asked his subordinates to find patients and test this magical object called carrot.

If it is true, this thing is a real god.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Yang who was busy, but he was not angry, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw that Xiao Si was still eating carrots.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiu should have eaten this stuff, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to bring it up. If something goes wrong, he will have to bear the blame, so he wouldn't be so careless."
