Luo Zhaoyun came to Li Mi's mansion the night before the Lantern Festival to attend the banquet and said to himself that he didn't want to come, but he didn't want to offend Li Mi and others. He came to see which people from the Green Forest and heroes in the martial arts world participated, which was also beneficial.

After all, since Li Mi resigned from Qianniu, he inherited the title of Pushan Gong and went to the treasury to collect a lot of money from the food household every year. Moreover, the elders of the Li Mi family were the backbone of the Li family, and saved a lot of money. They also opened several pawn shops, inns and other investments. After Li Mi took over, he helped many people in the Jianghu and the heroes of the green forest, which made his fame spread in the green forest and had a high reputation.

A lot of money is lost, but taking back a good reputation is also a reward.

In recent years, Li Mi has been very close to Yang Xuangan and others. The Yang family is as rich as the country, so he gives him a lot of money as commission every year.

Luo Zhaoyun came over with several guards because his identity was different from the past and the mixed dragons and snakes in Luoyang City, maybe someone would assassinate him, so it is best to be careful.

Li Mi's mansion has five in and five out, and the scale is not small, with blue bricks and black tiles, a spacious door and a tall courtyard. This is a property that Yang Xuangan secretly gave away, and he valued Li Mi very much.

There was a vermilion gate, with plaque hanging on it, and jade lions standing. Several servants dressed in servants were greeting guests at the door and questioning visitors.

"General Luo Cheng is here--" At the door of Li Mi's mansion, there were servants and housekeepers. After receiving the invitation, they immediately shouted out loudly to inform the people in the courtyard to welcome him.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, don't you want to see the style of Luo Cheng brothers? He is here." Li Mi paved a banquet in the main courtyard hall inside. According to the habits of the heroes of the Green Forest, several people gathered around a table and sat on Hu Yan; unlike the literati, each person was short and a few knelt down, maintaining the Central Plains tradition.

When Luo Zhaoyun came to the main courtyard, there was already a row of people standing at the entrance of the hall. Li Mi was the most enthusiastic as the boss. He was following Yang Xuanzong, who was Yang Xuangan's younger brother, and he was considered a representative of the Yang family. There were also several military officers in the army, such as the lieutenant of the Wuhou Mansion, Zhao Guixian, the chief of the Youtun Guard, and Xu Weiliang, who were all friends of Li Mi. He had long heard of Luo Cheng's reputation in the army, and the titles were different, so he took the initiative to respond.

There are also some green forest heroes who have met Luo Zhaoyun at a banquet three years ago, such as Jia Runpu, Wang Junguo and others, who saw Luo Cheng's power that day. Now three years have passed, the battlefield forces have been the only one side, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, destroying Tuyuhun, and becoming famous. When they meet again, they are naturally very excited.

There are also some people who have never seen each other and have awkward identity. They are either loud horse thieves or green forest heroes. They have a criminal record and are still wanted by local governments, so they did not step forward.

"Brother Luo Cheng, you are here." Li Mi had an official title, so when he saw Luo Zhaoyun, he did not call him General Luo, so he called him brother directly.

"Brother Li Mi, don't be fine!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said politely.

"Haha, thank you brothers for your blessings, you are still healthy and healthy. Tonight, you are the protagonist. There are many people here who want to see you. Please come into the hall quickly!" Li Mi held Luo Zhaoyun's arm, which was very kind.

After entering the spacious hall and sitting, Luo Zhaoyun glanced at the main hall and saw that many decorations had been removed, all of which were placed on the table, with at least ten. There were five people on each table, and there were actually forty or fifty people.

Not to mention that some guests brought guards, guards, servants, etc., all of them were placed in a villa where they prepared a table and a banquet.

"It's so lively. All the heroes and heroes come to Beijing to attend the Lantern Festival?" Luo Zhaoyun said casually, wanting to ask a question.

Li Mi replied on behalf of the people: "Of course, this year's Lantern Festival is different from previous years. The Great Sui Dynasty opened up its territory and expanded its territory. Twenty-seven Western Regions envoys came to the Eastern Capital. Some foreign countries on the grassland also sent envoys to Beijing. Your Majesty issued an edict. All inns and restaurants, and during the first lunar month, the envoys must be open to the envoys for free. The observers from all over the country also have discounts. Everyone came here just to join in the fun."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded. There was indeed this policy. Emperor Yang of Sui wanted face and was not a business cause at all. He did not understand the economy. He allowed Dongdu merchants restaurants, restaurants, etc. to be open to these foreigners for free. Isn’t this a loss of money? The court does not provide subsidies, and it is okay for merchants to last for a few days. After a long time, if this is the case in the first month, it would be a disaster.

"More than that, now there are no fees for Western Region merchants in inns, etc. along the way. There are food and drinks along the way, and many small vendors are closed." Someone sneered, and it was a green forest person in the northwest.

His words resonated with many people, mostly from the Green Forest people from the local area, so naturally they did not hide the policies of many courts.

Someone said: "This has disappeared. The Grand Canal has been repaired, and the dead and wounded are all in the pillows. How many strong men have been transferred along the county and county. They have gone to 100 times and cannot come back fifty. Half of them are exhausted and died of illness in the process of digging the canal. I really don't know when such a project will be built?"

"Yes, the projects in recent years have been huge, and floods have occurred in many places, and the savings of the people have been drained. If this continues, hum, the end of the day is probably going to come."

A sound of complaints sounded, and Luo Zhaoyun listened carefully without much expression.

Some military officers with official positions looked unnatural. These green forest people were unrestrained and clasped their fists casually. Once General Luo was angry, they would part in dissatisfaction.

In fact, Luo Zhaoyun was not so loyal to the emperor, so after listening to it, he was not furious, but said calmly: "These honest words are unpleasant. If you have the chance, I will definitely meet the emperor to make decisions and make them think about the people. Alas, as for how much they can listen, Luo Cheng is really unsure."

When Li Mi and others heard this, they looked at each other and secretly praised Luo Zhaoyun for his words and could not guess what he was thinking.

In fact, Li Mi, Yang Xuanzong and others wanted to test Luo Zhaoyun's loyalty to the court and whether he could win over it as an important killer weapon.

How could Luo Zhaoyun be fooled easily? He answered calmly, was not surprised by his actions, and did not offend the views of the people in Green Forest, nor did he say a big rebellious word, but also brought him a concern for the people and worry about the country and the people. Even Li Mi, a master of plot, could not find any flaws for the time being. (To be continued.)
