Datang Nongwang

Chapter 521
This honor is too heavy.

It was so heavy that Li Chongyuan was afraid that he would not be able to bear this book of ten thousand people.

What is the Book of Manmins?

It is like a petition written by many people with their names and fingerprints, or a memorandum expressing gratitude.

The content can be an appeal or an expression of gratitude.

It can even be a blessing, or even a kind of commendation to God, the emperor and others.

But now, Li Chongyuan has received the Wanmin letter presented by the people of Xixiang, which is in the form of gratitude, and it can be said to be a commendation for Li Chongyuan.

After Li Chongyuan heard about this, he couldn't help being excited.

And this time.

Thousands of people gathered in front of the state government office. Under the leadership of a few village elders, they either beat hands or bowed to salute, shouting that they wanted to see Li Yushi, the blue sky.

but.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan is in Li Village, his fiefdom, not in the state government office.

On the other hand, Xue Wu and Guan He, when they saw so many people appearing with the Wanmin Book, they were already on the spot, not knowing what to think.

Yao Kong, who was helping Xixiang to deal with things, saw that his young master had received the Wanmin letter from the people of Xixiang, and saw that these people wanted to see Li Chongyuan, so he had to bow his hands and thank him, "Everyone, everyone, be quiet. I am Yao Kong, Li Yushi's entourage. Li Yushi is not in the state government office at this time. Someone from Yao will definitely convey your requests. During this period of time, Li Yushi has been exhausted for Xixiang and Yangzhou. I am exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, it is reasonable for you to want to see Li Yushi last time, but it is not appropriate. I also ask you to be considerate of Li Yushi, what do you think?"

Yao Kong speaks decently, and he is more considerate of his young master.

although.

The people of Xixiang submitted the letter of Wanmin, and according to the norm, Li Chongyuan would definitely come to welcome these people.

But a few days ago, Li Chongyuan confessed to Yao Kong that everything here is in charge of him, and if there is no major issue, don't look for him.

Yao Kong knows even more.

Li Chongzhen suffered such a great crime, as his cousin Li Chongyuan, he must comfort him well.

Although Yao Kong was thinking of Li Chongyuan, but when these thousands of people came to the state government office with the Wanmin Book, he sent someone to rush back to Li Village to report to Li Chongyuan.

Coupled with the fact that there are so many people gathering together right now, if someone really wants to make trouble, Yao Kong is really hard to control.

The people are easy to speak.

After listening to Yao Kong's words, they all nodded their heads and said yes.

After hearing Yao Kong's words, those senior elders who took the lead even bowed their hands and said: "What Yao's entourage said is that since Li Yushi came to my Xixiang, he has never been free. First, repair the two banks of Yangshui River. , and then the master dredged the foreign water channels. Then these corrupt officials were put down, and these evil gentry and bandits were put down in the past few days. In just over a month, Li Yushi helped me There are countless practical and good things in the countryside. In such a short period of time, Li Yushi must be very sleepy, and I understand. If so, then I will present this book of Wanmin to Yao's followers, and invite Yao The entourage forwarded it to Li Yushi on my behalf. This is a wish from all the people in Xixiang."

"On behalf of Li Yushi, I thank all the neighbors on behalf of my little man." After Yao Kong heard the words, he led all the guards to bow and salute.

Such an honor.

Yao Kong and the others must thank these common people.

not to mention.

They are the guards of the Li family, and even Li Chongyuan's guards.

On weekdays, Li Chongyuan has absolutely nothing to say to them, it can be said that he treats them like friends and never treats them as servants.

Their little lord received such honor and honor. As guards, they were very happy and thanked the people for their little lord.

Seeing Yao Kong and the others saluting to them, the common people returned their salutes one after another, and started to disperse under the words of those old men.

After all.

Holding the book of Wanmin in his hands, Yao Kong was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "Hurry up, prepare the horse, I want to announce the good news to Mr. Xiao Lang as soon as possible."

After Yao Kong beat his horse and left, Xue Wuguan, the general of the Commander's Mansion, finally came to his senses.

"Hey!!! How can we not be part of this glory?" Xue Wu sighed as he looked at the horse shadow who had gone away.

Guan Hechang breathed out, "The eyes of the common people are bright, they can see what is good, what is bad, and what is beneficial to them. A few years ago, Zheng Qiang wanted to use force to get the people of Xixiang Books, but it caused a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, Li County Uncle Li got such a glorious Wanmin Book in just over a month after he arrived in Xixiang. People, it is incomparable."

Xue Wu glanced at Guan He, and sighed heavily, "Yes, people can't be compared, and it would really make people mad. Now that Li Chongyuan has obtained the Wanmin Book, I think as long as he returns with the Wanmin Book After Chang'an, he will surely rise to the top. Maybe the imperial court will give this little guy a nomination and a higher official position."

People like Xue Wuguan know what a book of ten thousand people represents.

A book of ten thousand people is worth the accumulation of ten years, or even decades, of their tenure in their positions.

if.

A county magistrate from Qipin, after serving in his county.

He has done many good deeds, benefited the county where he is located, and received words from Wanmin Shu.

As long as the Wanmin Letter is certified by the imperial court as authentic, the imperial court will definitely give it a grand courtesy, and even send officials from the Ministry of Rites to welcome it to Beijing to report on its work.

By the time.

As a county magistrate from the seventh rank, it might not be difficult to directly mention the fifth rank official position.

and.

In addition to mentioning his official position, he will also be knighted by the court.

That's the most important thing.

and so.

Xue Wu and the others lamented to themselves, lamenting why such a good thing did not happen to them, more or less feeling a sense of loss in their hearts.

At the same time, there is envy and jealousy in my heart.

As for whether there is hatred or not, that's another matter.

now.

Yao Kong rushed all the way back to Li Village.

As for Li Chongyuan from Li Village, after getting the news, he got into the carriage as soon as possible and rushed to Xixiang County.

Li Chongyuan on the carriage was so excited that his hands and feet kept shaking, and he was thinking about the scene of welcoming Wanminshu in the TV series he had watched in his previous life.

Although Li Chongyuan seldom heard about Wanminshu, he also knew the weight of Wanminshu.

When Li Chongyuan was excited, Li Chongzhen, who was sitting across from him, said with envy in his eyes: "Cousin, you can get the Wanmin book, but I have become a pawn among the bandits. I don't care, the benefits I can't let you go alone, you can score me a little no matter what you do."

Li Chongyuan, who heard the words, clasped his hands tightly, dispelled the excitement in his heart, and looked at Li Chongzhen.

"How do you divide it? Do you want the common people to write your name on the Wanmin Book?" Li Chongyuan gave Li Chongzhen a blank look.

After Li Chongzhen heard Li Chongyuan's words, he was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, okay. When you arrive in Xixiang in a while, you tell the people in public that I was responsible for all the bandits, and then ask them to give my name to you." Write it in the Manmin Book, hehe."

As soon as Li Chongzhen thought of painting his name on the Wanmin Book, he began to think about it.

even.

He even began to think about how to welcome the promotion ceremony in the palace.

Li Chongzhen is already a county lord.

Let me mention it again, it is the county magistrate.

What kind of title is the county magistrate? That's a high title from the second rank, with [-] households in the city.

Li Chongzhen can think so, which is also in line with his temperament.

Unconstrained, dare to think about anything, but dare not do it.

In Li Chongyuan's words, Li Chongzhen, you have that kind of evil heart, but you just don't have that kind of courage.

Li Chongyuan continued to give Li Chongzhen a blank look, and stopped talking, and he didn't want to continue what Li Chongzhen said.

Books of all peoples are not easy to come by.

Now that I have a lucky fate, how can I ask the people to write one more name in front of the people? Isn't this against the wishes of the people?

Moreover.

If this matter is really done, once the imperial court sends people to Xixiang to confirm, this book of Wanmin will be suspected of being fake.

At that time, not to mention being knighted, it is estimated that even the title of county earl himself will have to drop.

After traveling for about ten miles, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Xing Ba, who was outside the carriage, tapped the carriage lightly, "Young Lord, Lao Yao is back, as if he is holding the book of Wanmin."

"Ok?"

Li Chongyuan was puzzled.

Quickly open the curtain.

As soon as Li Chongyuan opened the curtain of the car, he saw Yao Kong jumping off the horse with several guards, and carefully walking towards the carriage with the book of Wanmin in his hand.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiaolang, congratulations to Mr. Xiaolang. The people of Xixiang present the Wanmin book, and please dismount Mr. Xiaolang to greet him." Yao Kong yelled at Li Chongyuan with one leg flexed as soon as he arrived in front of the carriage, holding the Wanmin book.

When Li Chongyuan heard it, he jumped out of the carriage excitedly, came to Yao Kong, and took the Wanmin book tremblingly, "Thank God, thank the people of Xixiang, and thank the people of Yangzhou. I, Li Chongyuan, can get the book of Wanmin from the people of Xixiang." , is the honor of my life, Li Chongyuan."

Don't go on talking big.

After Li Chongyuan talked about glory, I wanted to say one more thing, I, Li Chongyuan, will fight for the people in this life.

But as soon as the words came to his lips, he stopped immediately.

Li Chongzhen, who jumped out of the carriage, had an ugly expression on his face at this moment, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

As for the people in the eighth class, all of them were excited.

There is a saying.

As long as this book of ten thousand people is brought back to Chang'an, their young master will surely be re-ennobled.

As their young master's status improves, they will also rise.

Gratitude must be appreciated.

After Li Chongyuan got the book of ten thousand people, he rushed to Xixiang county in person, and thanked all the people in Xixiang in a high-profile way.

He even said some good words, comforting them that Xixiang will get better and better in the future, etc.

And the people in Xixiang were naturally happy to hear it, and seeing that Li Chongyuan had no official appearance at all, like an ordinary boy next door, they all wanted to step forward to get a taste of Li Chongyuan's nobility.

more than this.

When Li Chongyuan thanked him all the way, he still didn't forget to come to salute and take this opportunity to shake hands with Li Chongyuan.

In the end, it all turned into a tendency to touch Li Chongyuan.

Until the evening hours.

After Li Chongyuan begged for mercy, all the people reluctantly left.

Li Chongyuan, who managed to get away with great difficulty, returned to the official post with a wry smile, "If the hands of these common people are covered with black ash today, I will probably become a black man at this time, hahahaha."

"Cousin, you are black." Li Chongzhen on the side kept a bitter face, seeing Li Chongyuan being respected and loved by the people of Xixiang, feeling very unhappy.

With the little thoughts in his belly, Li Chongyuan was able to obtain the Wanmin Book, all thanks to him.

A few days later.

On the ocean water, several boats are slowly moving towards the Han River.

down for a few days.

Li Chongyuan was happy and happy, and it was time to return to Chang'an.

The matter in Xixiang is over, and he, Li Chongyuan, has also stayed in Xixiang for a month and a half.

Recently Li Chongyuan has been talking about Chang'an, how the crops in Lizhuang are, whether they have been harvested, etc.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Chongyuan looked at both sides of the ocean, "In a few years, this place will get better and better. The wharf will also be able to handle some cargo, and Xixiang will rise because of the construction of the wharf and shipyard."

"Xiao Langjun, you have spent such a large amount of money to repair the foreign waters and dredge the waterways of the foreign waters. You even spent money on repairs from the fief to Xixiang County. The price is not small." Yao Kong stood behind Li Chongyuan. , After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, I was deeply moved.

Li Chongyuan decided some time ago that the repair of Yangshui should be extended to Xixiang County.

In addition, a small pier will be built in Xixiang County.

As soon as the pier in Li Chongyuan's fief is completed, Wang Sheng and the others will take the craftsmen to Xixiang County to build another small pier.

And these tens of miles of ocean waterways must be rebuilt.

Otherwise, only some small boats can be used in these tens of miles of waterways, and larger ships cannot even enter.

Yao Kong's words didn't make Li Chongyuan feel bad, he just smiled.

Spend money.

Li Chongyuan has plenty of money.

The repair and dredging of foreign water would cost him tens of thousands of guan at most.

Even if the wharf is added, the money will not be higher than one hundred thousand guan.

For this little money, Li Chongyuan can still afford it.

This amount of money is much lighter than the Wanmin book.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan hadn't spoken any more, Yao Kong, who was about to speak again, stood behind Li Chongyuan as if in a bit of a dilemma, hesitant to speak, and for a long time, he didn't know how to speak.

Le Dao, who was standing with Yao Kong, saw Yao Kong's painful expression, touched him lightly, raised his head, and signaled Yao Kong to speak up.

Yao Kong looked at Le Dao and shook his head lightly.

Li Chongyuan, with his short hair, kept his eyes on both sides of the ocean, so he didn't know the little movements of the two behind him.

On the contrary, Li Chongzhen was very curious after discovering these little actions of the two, "Old Yao, Taoist priest, what are you doing? Is there something you are hiding from us?"

"No, no." Seeing Li Chongzhen's question, Yao Kong hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.
