In Qinghuafang, Luobei, a group of people from the Tang family went out to welcome the Tang Ruren who returned to the province and His Royal Highness Dai Wang who was with him.

"The family in the capital is safe, and I regretted that the business is busy and I failed to do my best."

After meeting, Li Tong expressed his apology again.

Tang Xianze smiled and said, "Your Highness is so polite. The Gods are prosperous, and even more so in Xijing. If it were not for the work and work of the staff of the noble residence, it would be difficult to buy a house so quickly."

You are not polite to say this. Since Emperor Gaozong built the Dongdu, especially after Empress Wu arrived in the dynasty, the development of the Shendu City has been changing with each passing day.

Compared with Chang'an, the capital of Shenyang, Luoyang is located in the sky and is more inclusive. However, the scale of Luoyang's own city is far smaller than that of Chang'an, which makes it much more difficult to buy a property than Chang'an. Many people have been an official in Luoyang for more than ten years, but they have only lived in residence.

The Tang family has many people who have entered the capital this time. They can buy a large mansion in such a short time. In addition, it is still in the center of a city like Qinghuafang. It is difficult to do without the backing of a powerful figure. Not to mention anything else, when Li Tong and his family left the palace in their early years, they were all arranged in the relatively remote Luxinfang.

The Tang family's house is located in the southwest corner of Qinghuafang. It covers an area of ​​over 20 acres. It is composed of two houses, very close to Xifang Gate. After leaving the house, it is opposite Xuanren Gate in Dongcheng. If the children enter the business, they can reach Wenchang Shangshu Province in Dongcheng within a 20-minute walk. The geographical location is very superior.

There is also an official office located outside the Zuo Jinwu Guard in Tsinghua House, and of course the security is very guaranteed. Because of this convenience, many imperial guards and generals settled in this house and several surrounding yards.

After entering the residence, Tang Lingshu was welcomed into the inner house by the female family to reminisce about the past, while Li Tong and Tang Xianze and Tang Xiuzhong brothers stayed in the middle hall.

"The heart of heaven is favored by the mansion. There are many people and noisy things in the mansion recently. I don't want my wife to suffer the noise. I will save you a short time."

After sitting down, Li Tong explained again that the Tang family should not misunderstand that he had a new person and was unable to be compatible. Not to mention anything else, his father-in-law Tang Xiuzhong treated him really well. Before he became famous, he would do his best to help him several times more than the icing on the cake.

"This lady is neglected by ethics and hasty temperament. It is rare for Your Highness to cherish it. This is her blessing. In the past, she traveled abroad and had no time to educate her carefully. Now she lives in a city and wants to introduce her family to a short life for a few days. Your Highness does not need to worry about it, concentrate on family affairs, and do not let you down."

Tang Xiuzhong was still open-minded in this regard, not obsessed with the capital, and did not know the importance of his position. The most prominent family was his father Tang Xiujing, who made contributions in the Western Xinjiang and was of course an amazing figure in the border areas.

However, when they arrived at the Shendu, there were many powerful families, which was really not surprising. The Dai King is now in outstanding position, and I don’t know how many families want to rely on it. If their family still wants to enjoy this favor, they will undoubtedly make enemies without knowing their limits.

Li Tong felt even more embarrassed when he heard that his father-in-law was so sensible. He turned to Tang Xianze and said, "I have already made plans here. I asked my wife to send a message a few days ago. I wonder what my uncle is thinking?"

When Tang Xianze heard this, he cheered up: "Although his whole body of willpower is not extraordinary, if he can get kindness into the Zhisu Guard, he should do his best. Just because the border general is transferred to the yamen general, will he be too embarrassed in personnel matters?"

"Of course there are difficulties, but the matter is due to humans. My uncle's side achievements are better than many boastful words and family members. Now things are not quiet, and the stability of the Kinai still depends on the warriors."

Li Tong didn't take it too much, so he made a wish casually and continued, "Of course I will focus on recommending it here, and my uncle doesn't have to be humble and hide himself. If there is a way to express his feelings, it would be the best and he would be more confident."

After hearing this, Tang Xianze pondered for a moment before saying, "The former Anxi Army Supervisor Zhang Rentan has something to do with me. When he entered the capital this time, he also expressed his willingness to help me express his deeds. But he is not in the court now, so he may not be able to make too much contribution."

Li Tong was happy when he heard this. Zhang Rendan was Zhang Renyuan, who avoided the taboo of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan and changed his name. In history, the three surrender cities were built in the Zhongzong Dynasty to resist the Turks. Last year, he followed Wang Xiaojie's army to fight against Tubo with the imperial censor, and now he remains in Anxi.

Li Tong was happy that Tang Xianze and Zhang Renyuan had a strong friendship, but if we really talked about fighting for the position of General of the Right Jinwu Guard for Tang Xianze, Zhang Renyuan, who was far away in Anxi, would not be very helpful to speak out. This also shows that the Tang family had really lacked central relationships and it was difficult to have any connections at such critical moments.

Although the Tang family was also from Guanlong, they did not enter the circle of honorary nobles in Guanlong. Tang Xiujing himself passed the Ming Dynasty and became a civil servant. His experience was similar to Lou Shide, but his achievements were even later than Lou Shide. Although he got married to the Yang family's common people, he saw that Yang Juren dared to treat his wife like that in the past year, which shows that he also despised this relative very much.

"Then my uncle will prepare for the summer official of the Ministry of War. If there is any progress in the situation, we will report it in time."

After discussing this matter, Li Tongcai turned to Tang Xiuzhong again and asked with a smile: "I wonder what plans does my father-in-law have for future work?"

After hearing this, Tang Xiuzhong said, "I have not achieved anything from both civil and military affairs. This time I entered the capital, my family and private plans are more than planning to attack. As for what happened, there is no need to hurry up. Let my brother decide the matter first."

Tang Xiuzhong didn't want to be too troublesome and did not have too high requirements for his career.

However, Li Tong didn't think so. Tang Xianze was still his wife, while Tang Xiuzhong was a real relative. When he was already in love, he must of course be more attentive. Not to mention the turbulent affairs of the court in the future, it was a moment of conquering cities and actively expanding his own power, so he also helped Tang Xiuzhong have some ideas.

"If my father-in-law has no intention, what about the Dushui messenger?"

When Tang Xiuzhong heard His Highness say this, he was happy at first, and then frowned and said, "I will only be a Sima from another state first. I will be a fifth-rank rank in the court. Will this be too aggressive?"

Tang Xiuzhong was the Sima of Ganzhou in the local area, but only had a sixth rank official position. If he was promoted according to his normal career and wanted to return to the capital, his rank might have to be lowered a little further.

However, Li Tong naturally cannot be too neglected to his father-in-law, and planning for the fifth rank is the bottom line.

This is also for the sake of his wife. The Zheng family is a famous family, and he doesn't know what kind of character the princess he is about to marry. If the father of Tang Lingshu is not even a fifth rank, let alone whether the princess will deliberately keep it difficult, I am afraid that even those slaves will look down on it.

Li Tong did not have much energy to pay attention to family affairs, and neither wanted to let his wife suffer grievances. It was a matter of course to promote Tang Xiuzhong.

If you simply seek an official position for Tang Xiuzhong, it would be a good choice to be ranked fifth in Zhugongyuan Supervisor, and it is more in line with the situation where Tang Xiuzhong was a relative of the outside world but could not be trusted. However, this position is not very helpful to Li Tong at present.

The Dushui envoy was in the fifth rank, and was in charge of the government orders of Sichuan and Sichuan, and was under the jurisdiction of the two departments of boats and canals, and had great say in the transportation of the canal. This official position itself is not a Qing Dynasty, but tends to be practical, so it is easier to strive for.

In the next round of turmoil in the court, as long as Li Tong and others can maintain the position of prime minister in the political affairs hall, they do not even need special operations, and can be given additional awards through normal personnel adjustments.

After that shocking murder, everyone in the capital was already in danger, which forced Li Tong to consider changing his original personnel plan.

Originally, he planned to send the thousands of old-fashioned men and soldiers organized by Li Ge to Hedong as soon as possible, but any situation in the capital could happen next. It is very necessary to arrange a group of people near Shendu City. Even if there is no big hope, he can protect himself at critical moments.

It is naturally difficult to arrange more than a thousand men into the city without any trace, so I especially have to give the old clothes club a reasonable explanation. I arranged them to go to Hedong to participate in the canal transportation and seek employment, and now I can also use this as a reason.

In Lidefang south of Qinghua Fang, there is a large and active water area that directly leads to Luoshui, called Xintan. Xintan is originally part of the canal transport within the capital, and it is also a very important and critical node. The canals gather here, and goods can be transported to the yards in the city through boats.

If Tang Xiuzhong had served as the Dushui envoy, he could have introduced more than a thousand Dings into the city through various methods such as official service and merchants' tenants.

The number of these more than a thousand strong powers seems to be quite large. If you stay in the countryside, it is naturally a very eye-catching existence. However, as long as you can enter the Shendu City with a population of hundreds of thousands through legal channels, you can get the effect of being hidden in the city. As long as you do not have a clear intention to investigate, it is difficult to discover.

"If my father-in-law has no objection, he can focus on traveling to the grain canals and ferries inside and outside the capital, and learn about the affairs first. I will also visit relevant technicians to gather ideas and come up with an effective strategy to supervise the transportation of the grain in the capital. This can not only benefit the country, but also nourish and shelter people, accumulate merits and hopes."

At present, the labor service in the entire Shendu City is mainly the mediocre workers recruited by various prefectures. This not only delays normal production in other states, but also makes the livelihoods of migrants who have no land to be granted.

If this situation can be reformed and directly recruited Kinki Dingli can not only give these migrants a job, but also allow the states to no longer need to send labor, so that the people can be content with farming and mulberry production, and avoid the hard work of rushing to serve. This part of the labor saved can also directly increase the income of the imperial court's class money, and both inside and outside, including Li Tong himself, can enjoy convenience.

"I must prepare carefully and will never let down your highness's recommendation!"

Tang Xiuzhong also focused on his head, understanding that this opportunity was extremely precious to him. If he could do it well, it would not be inferior to his father and brother's military achievements in the frontier.
