Chapter 163 Li Zhao's Resentment
Wan'er is going to Lizhuang, this is not a matter of a day or two.

Ever since Wan'er was brought back to Chang'an from Li Zhuang by Li Shimin, Wan'er has been thinking about going back to Li Zhuang every day.

However, the old lady never agreed.

now.

With the arrival of the good news, Wan'er once again proposed to go back to Lizhuang.

The old lady looked at Wan'er, then at the happy news in her hand, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to Li Zhuang together."

The reason why the old lady agreed with Wan'er was because she also wanted to see the rent back.

It's not that the old lady doesn't believe in Li Chongyuan.

after all.

This is more than 500 shi of grain.

This can be said.

The rent received this year is three times that of previous years.

Simultaneously.

She just wanted to attend the banquet in Lizhuang, so she could thank the villagers in Lizhuang.

The old lady is going to Li Zhuang.

Naturally, it was impossible to go there that day, so it was only the next day.

And this time.

Li Shimin, who got the news from the staff of Baiqisi, sent a servant to Li's house.

The old lady saw a servant coming, and after learning the reason, she hurriedly handed over the happy news.

After receiving the good news, the servant respectfully took his leave and left without staying any longer.

It didn't take long for the good news to reach Li Shimin's hands.

When Li Shimin saw the number in the happy news, he was also very surprised.

original.

He thought that even if Li Zhuang had a bumper harvest this year, there would be no more than two thousand shi of grain at most.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhuang's grain harvest was so abundant that he was really taken aback for a moment.

"Wang Li, is Chong Yuan really suitable for farming?" Li Shimin, who was shocked in his heart, asked Wang Li in a low voice.

Such a questioning scene.

It is also common to say.

Of course, Li Shimin would only ask Wang Li when no one else was present.

The two have known each other for more than ten years, and now they have been monarchs and ministers for several years.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin has the most trust in Wang Li.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and China are not as trustworthy as the chief servant.

Wang Li suddenly heard that the Holy Majesty asked him a question, and quickly bowed and replied: "My Majesty, I don't know, but judging from the good news, Li Xiannan really has the potential to be a farmer."

Wang Li's answer was quite satisfactory.

"You said I handed over the royal garden supervisor to Chong Yuan to manage, what do you think will happen?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Return to the Holy Lord, this old slave doesn't know." Wang Li really didn't know.

As for Li Shimin's sudden thought, although Wang Li understood what he meant, he couldn't respond easily.

As far as the royal garden supervisor is concerned, there are quite a few.

There are gardens, as well as farms, pastures, vegetable farms and other garden supervisors.

Every garden supervisor is under the management of Sinong Temple.

Just like Xinfeng, Lantian, Xianyang and other places, there are royal garden supervisors.

Moreover, the rank of each garden supervisor is not small, with an official position from the sixth rank.

Not too big, not too small.

It's better than that high supervisory censor.

However, for promotion, it is much more difficult than the supervisory censor.

How about Li Shimin, or what about the old lady.

At this time Li Chongyuan didn't know.

now.

However, Li Zhuang ushered in a person who was not a guest but a guest.

And this guest is Li Chongyuan's cousin Li Zhao.

Li Zhao, the county magistrate of Hu County.

It's been a rough time these days.

Since he was at the court, Li Shimin made a statement that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter in Hu county.

And Li Zhao, the county magistrate, was also under investigation.

to this end.

Li Zhao has been interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials and other departments recently, and even his family has been searched over and over.

The Holy Majesty has spoken, these officials in charge, how dare they do things carelessly.

Even if Li Zhao has an opinion, he has to endure it.

This is not.

When Li Zhao was investigated, he was full of grievances. He couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he had to come to Li Zhuang to complain to his cousin Li Chongyuan.

"Cousin, let me tell you, if the Holy Majesty wants to investigate, just investigate. As long as you walk upright and sit upright, are you still afraid of being investigated? Of course, the people below you are really not good people, and you should take care of them." Nevermind." Li Chongyuan's nonsense was not big enough, and he was making sarcastic remarks.

Being interrogated by the court is no small matter.

If any problem is recorded, Li Zhao's official career will come to an end.

Even if Li Zhao is a relative of the Li family, he will still be criticized by those censors until he loses his official position.

Li Zhao, who was here to complain, did not expect Li Chongyuan to preach to him, and suddenly became a little unhappy, "Do you think I don't want to be an official? But the people below are disobedient and play tricks, and I don't Maybe you stare at me all the time? You don’t comfort me, but you still sit here and talk like this.”

"Hey, cousin, although I haven't been an official yet, I also know that to be an official is to be in power, and to be in power, you have to have your own people. Even if you set up a monopoly, you have to control all the power. He even counts the money for someone else when he is empty." Li Chongyuan replied with a chuckle.

Indeed.

Li Zhao's character as an official is somewhat lacking.

Or maybe it's because he's used to beating young brocade clothes and jade food.

But since he became an official, although he is also learning how to be an official, he has not learned much all the time.

This is not.

There is a problem in Hu County.

The matter of Cui Yu, the chief secretary, was already a wake-up call for him, but Li Zhao still didn't understand it.

This is all right, Li Zhao was the one who got hurt in the end.

When Li Zhao heard Li Chongyuan's words, he suddenly realized what he said, "Chongyuan, how do you say to gain power? Just like Hu County, because it is close to Chang'an, there are all kinds of people, and no one will be offended. Good or bad."

Li Zhao's words were also the main reason for his distress.

Indeed.

In the officialdom of Hu County, there are really all kinds of people.

There is a certain minister in the court, there is a certain honorable person, and there is also a family.

In short, there are many people and many backgrounds.

Li Chongyuan poured a bowl of tea for Li Zhao, and said calmly: "It's not easy to be in power. One is in charge of military power, the other is in charge of official power, and the third is in charge of financial power. As long as you can control these three powers, you can mess with whoever you want, not to mention In a county, only the county magistrate is the biggest, do they dare to seize power and commit crimes?"

"Military power, official power, financial power?" Li Zhao suddenly heard Li Chongyuan's words, as if enlightened, suddenly enlightened.

but.

Although Li Zhao suddenly became enlightened, he really didn't know how his cousin, who was much younger than him, knew that he was an official.

Li Zhao stared blankly at Li Chongyuan, trying to figure out where this cousin learned this from.

"Cousin, you have to persevere. It is good for me that you are the county magistrate in Hu County. In the future, I will buy a lot of wasteland beside the flooded water. If you are transferred , I will not be able to do things well in Hu County in the future, so you have to persevere." Li Chongyuan continued after taking a sip of tea.

And what Li Chongyuan said was of course for his own sake.
