Chapter 101 Punishment
"Welcome to your Highness to return to the mansion!" Li Chengming had just jumped out of the car, and Wang Fusheng and others standing in front of the county government office bowed to him.
Lee Seung-ming glanced at these people, then waved his hand lightly, "No need to be polite, get up!"
"Thank you!" Hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng and others said again, bowed, and then stood up.
When Wang Fusheng saw that Li Chengming was about to walk in, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Your Highness shouldn't have eaten yet. The emperor has already asked someone to prepare some food and drinks. If your Highness doesn't dislike you, please move..."
"No need, I have eaten outside. I appreciate the kindness of the county magistrate Wang!" Before Wang Fusheng could finish his words, Li Chengming waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Uh..." Wang Fusheng was slightly stunned when he heard Li Chengming say this, and a look of hesitation flashed across his face, a little unable to move forward and retreat.
"Why, County Magistrate Wang is waiting for me here, and there are other things to do?" Seeing the expression on Wang Fusheng's face, Li Chengming raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This... Your Highness is wise!" Wang Fusheng bowed to Li Chengming and said, "The emperor is here to apologize to Your Highness. Before, the emperor was confused and actually took the two maids to serve Your Highness without any initiative. Please forgive me!"
"Oh, why are you guilty of this?" Looking at Wang Fusheng who was bowing, Li Chengming smiled indifferently, "I have not thanked Wang County Magistrate yet, but I have given me such a beautiful family like a flower to me?"
Hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng was stunned and looked up carefully at Li Chengming's expression. He didn't know whether Li Chengming's words were true or false, but seeing Li Chengming's faint expression, Wang Fusheng was shocked, and then lowered his head, "I dare not, I dare not, I am confused, I ask Your Highness to punish me!"
He did not forget the news he found out today from other people. Although the Runan prince was young, he had good methods. Otherwise, how could he escape from the heavy siege of Qin King Li Shimin, and so many people gathered together.
It is said that Li Hongdao, the magistrate of Wannian County, had been cut off his head because he was Li Shimin's subordinate.
If it weren't for the prince's line that he had defected to, he would have already landed today.
Seeing that Wang Fusheng was still smart, Li Chengming raised his lips and smiled faintly, "Since County Magistrate Wang is so polite, wouldn't I give you face if I don't punish you?"
"It should be punished, it should be punished, this is the honor of the officials!" Wang Fusheng nodded hurriedly.
"Then I will punish you... Well, go to the lobby and kneel on the plaque that "frugal and honest" for three hours. What do you think?" Li Chengming thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you, I will accept the punishment!" After hearing Li Chengming's words, Wang Fusheng's back was wet, and then he bowed respectfully to Li Chengming and said.
Judging from Li Chengming's punishment on him, what the Prince of Runan just said was not that simple. If he hadn't been smarter, he would have been afraid that he would have been in trouble.
"By the way!" Wang Fusheng suddenly remembered something, then turned his head and said to the people of the county government standing next to him, "Luo Baifu, why don't you come here quickly and apologize to Your Highness!"
As Wang Fusheng finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged fat man wearing a white silk suit walking out of the crowd with a trembling look on his face and leaning over and saying, "Caomin Luo Baifu, pay homage to His Highness Qiansui!"
Li Chengming glanced at the middle-aged fat man who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Wang Fusheng beside him.
Wang Fusheng immediately understood and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this man's name is Luo Baifu, he is a famous businessman in Hui County. He mainly deals in grain and cloth shops. His family has a wealth of wealth. Those two maids were given to the officials by this man."
"Oh?!" Hearing Wang Fusheng's words, Li Chengming nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged fat man.
Feeling the eyes falling on his body, the middle-aged fat man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble slightly. He saw Li Chengming punishing Wang Fusheng just now. He was not naive. Li Chengming really wouldn't do anything to him.
Luo Baifu's heart was full of bitterness. He didn't expect to flatter Wang Fusheng as a county magistrate, so he gave Wang Fusheng the sisters he had been carefully trained. As a result, he caused disaster for himself. He failed to steal chickens and lost a lot of rice, and his wife and soldiers.
"Please forgive me for your sins. The people of the grass will be willing to donate 50,000 stones of food and grass to help you achieve great achievements!" Luo Baifu knelt on the ground and begged sadly.
Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass?
Hearing this number, Li Chengming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, when he was in Wannian County, Xue Wanche only collected 30,000 stones of grain in the county treasury, right?
This middle-aged fat man named Luo Baifu actually donated 50,000 stones of food and grass in one breath. Isn’t this guy’s net worth more than the treasury of Wannian County?
I read some historical materials before, and it was said that although the courts were the people who controlled the world on the surface before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the masters of the whole world were actually family members and landlords and gentry. It seemed that they were really good.
Even a small wealthy businessman can take out 50,000 stones of food and grass. How rich should those five surnames and seven hopes, who are famous all over the world?
By the way, the current Li Tang royal family was once one of the world's famous five surnames and seven hopes, the Li family in Longxi.
"Okay, since you are so intentional, I will not care about this matter." This is the social form. When he has not really had a confrontation with the world, Li Chengming would not be stupid enough to oppose the aristocratic families in the world. If that were the case, I'm afraid that Li Shimin would know that he would wake up from his dream.
"You will take over the food and grass donated by Xue Wanche, Luo Baifu." Li Chengming ordered Xue Wanche who was standing beside him.
"I will obey the order!" Xue Wanche was happy and clasped his fists.
When fighting, we originally rely on food and grass. Without food and food, who will work for you?
Although they had collected 30,000 stones of grain and grass in the treasury of Wannian County before, it was enough for thousands of them to use it for two or three months, but in the future, there would be more and more soldiers under their command, and only 30,000 stones of grain and grass at that time would definitely not be enough. Now, it would be better to be able to enhance 50,000 stones of grain and grass at once.
"Okay, I'm tired, you all retreat!" Li Chengming didn't care about the extra tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. He didn't even look at Luo Baifu, who was kneeling on the ground, waved his hand, and then walked into the backyard of the county yamen...
