Political struggle is a long and lasting tug-of-war, especially for those aristocratic families with deep roots.

Luo Yong was originally just an unknown little person, vulnerable in front of these big guys. After so many years of management and accumulation, he gradually took root in this era.

Although he looks very weak now, not everyone can easily afford it.

The reason why Luo Yong was taken out of the capital last time was more a political compromise than being betrayed by the court.

Luo has won the favor of many people through his years. Because of his business, he was exiled to the frontier, which is also a treatment made in accordance with the laws of the court. But if someone really wants to kill him, it will exceed the bottom line that many people can tolerate.

Xu Maogong's real name is Xu Shiji. He was born in Wagang Village. He followed Zhai Rang to raise an army when he was a teenager. Later, Li Mi joined Wagang Village and became the leader. Zhai Rang retreated to the second place. Due to some internal conflicts, Li Mi finally got rid of Zhai Rang at a banquet. He heard that on that day, Xu Shiji almost died, and Wang Bodang saved his life.

Xu Shiji was still very young at that time, looking like he was twenty-four or fifteen years old. Li Mi wanted to get rid of Zhai Rang. Why did he almost die? Speaking of which, it was probably because of the problem of standing in the team.

Later, when Li Mi was desperate, he never thought about going to join Xu Shiji.

But when Xu Shiji finally joined Tang, the tribes under his command and the territory he occupied at that time did not directly offer them in his own name, but wrote a letter to Li Mi asking Li Mi to offer them.

Xu Shiji's move won the great favor of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, who said that he was a pure minister. As for whether he did this because of loyalty or righteousness, or a strategy, outsiders don't know.

In the years that followed, Xu Shiji was able to go to Lingyan Pavilion. Compared with some emperors, his status was purely stacked with military achievements.

Xu Shiji is not reckless. Over the years, he has been no longer the young man who was so young back then. He usually pursues a self-protection and does not care about the messy things in the court. Those people will not easily touch him, so it is considered a peace of mind.

This time, the reason why Xu Shiji said that in the court was probably angry. People like him who did not easily get involved in the court disputes expressed their opinions. In addition, the emperor's position this time was relatively clear, so those people naturally stopped when they saw that the wind was wrong.

"Father." The handsome young man stood outside the study and looked inside.

"Amao, come in quickly." The middle-aged man smiled and waved. His son has grown a lot recently. His father was happy and even his name has changed. In the past, if he had either called him "Yimao" seriously, he would have been furious and called him "Bai Yimao" with his name and surname.

"I heard that someone was rushing to the Luo family again in the morning court." Bai Yimao entered the house and sat on the wooden couch opposite his father, saying.

"Not hindrance, they can't make any waves for a while." Many Xiao Xiao in the court were like wild dogs all day long, and he would pounce on him and bite people when he could kick him, and he would just hide if he could. He really had to worry about those people all day long, and could he live his life.

"I heard that Mr. Xu Mao stood up and spoke today?" Bai Yimao asked.

"Mr. Xu Mao is second." Old Dad Bai waved his palm fan and said, "It's better for Sanlang to use this self-deprecating trick."

"Self-filled?" Bai Yimao was puzzled. Is it considered to be self-filled when saying those few pornographic jokes?

"You little kids don't understand, you have to learn more." Some words are not good to say too clearly. If a young man is not easy or heavy, he will take them outside to say them.

"I am about the same age as Assistant Professor Luo." Bai Yimao also doesn't like being treated as a child all the time.

He now calls Luo Yong the assistant teacher Luo. Although Luo Yong is no longer an assistant teacher at the Imperial College, there are still many people in Chang'an City who call him that. Of course, some call him County Magistrate Luo. Anyone who calls him that is somewhat gloating.

"You know you are about the same age as him." As soon as you say this, Dad Bai was angry. Others' children are so old that they can stand alone. His kid is a little hardworking recently. He is so happy that he has picked up money. He is really incomparable, and he can't compare to...

"..." Bai Yimao secretly hated himself for being the cheapest, and he compared himself with the coffin board for no reason.

Luo Coffin Baner:...I am a man of two lives, will I tell you?

Seeing that his father was about to start training again, Bai Yimao hurriedly escaped and ran away to his second uncle to find him to solve his doubts.

Uncle Bai Er is not as secretive as his brother. The child is grown up, so they should know what he should know sooner or later.

Uncle Bai Er said to Bai Yimao: "Do you think that those who are in high positions prefer a respected person who is respected by everyone, or a capable official who can tell jokes in the city?"

"!" Bai Yimao was so shocked by this answer that he had never had such an idea before. At such a young age, he knew how to plot like this?

"Although Assistant Luo has no homeschool, he also knows how to guess people's hearts and keep a low profile. However, this is the second." Uncle Bai said to his nephew: "This person knows the small way, but does not enter the small way. He has great wisdom. He can make such good relationships at a young age, and has the talent to govern the world and tolerate others. This is rare in this world."

...

A few days later, someone in the court wanted to mention the liquor again. The man was timid and the saint waved his sleeves twice in annoyance, so he did not dare to say more.

Therefore, even if the liquor matter was exposed, no one mentioned it again.

In fact, compared with liquor, what the emperor and several ministers in the court valued more was the news about tea that had been heard before.

I heard that Li Shima family cooperated with several merchants such as the Wang family. In the spring of this year, I collected many tea leaves from all over the south to make tea cakes the size of gongs. Recently, it was transported to Changle County through Chang'an City.

News came from those Hu merchants that it was said that herdsmen ate meat all year round and had greasy belly and had no appetite. Soaking tea leaves in water or cooking with cattle and sheep milk can remove greasyness, make people feel refreshed and healthy.

Most people in the Central Plains eat rice, flour and grains as their staple food, and they cannot feel the effect of tea on the human body very intuitively. But if it is true as rumored, then the tea will inevitably become a very important commodity in the future.

Nowadays, the purchasing power of those herders cannot be underestimated. They raise sheep and make a lot of money by selling cashmere every year.

The cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou was opened in early summer this year, and the cement road from Mengmen Pass to Liangzhou is now open.

With these two cement roads, merchants now want to transport goods to places where herders gather in the west and north are saving time and effort than before. The trade between the Central Plains and the herders in the north will increase in the future. This is a huge market that is still almost blank.

Many people are eyeing this piece of fat, and many big families in Chang'an City sent their families to some important border towns where trade is flourishing to buy houses and land at the beginning of this year.

Originally, everyone valued some silk cloth food businesses. Recently, I heard that many people are growing tea in the south. Although I don’t know how much tea trading will develop in the future, economic investment is quite similar to political investment. They have to be ahead of others. People in front of them eat meat and drink soup. If they are later, there will be nothing left.

A few days later, the emperor summoned Tang Jian and told him about Changle County.

The emperor said that Luo Yong was indeed a rare talent. He was determined to value him, but he was worried that his career would be unfavorable to the growth of young people. He wanted to temper him, but he was worried that he would be too hard and would break up the jade.

"This son is still young and has no care and teachings from his elders at home. The bitter and cold land of Changle County is far away from Beijing. I want to care and teaching him like an elder, but I can't get rid of him and cannot go to Changle, Guazhou. Among the civil and military officials in the court, you are one of the few people who are close to Luo Yong. Why don't you go there for me?"

The emperor said this, so what else could Tang Jian say? Of course, he could only receive the order respectfully and go home to pack his luggage.
