Datang Nongwang

Chapter 569 The Decree
Xiang Si, who was convinced, never made things difficult for Wang Sheng again.

The shipyard has just been built so far, and it will take several months to bring in the shipbuilder at this time, and it may not necessarily produce results.

Furthermore.

In Li Chongyuan's letter to him, although the matter of the shipbuilder was mentioned, he was not in a hurry to ask him to ask someone from the Wang family.

The shipyard will be completed this year, and once the year is over, as long as the shipbuilders go to Xixiang again, it will not be too late.

Xiang Si, who got the words, did not leave, but continued to talk about other things with Wang Sheng, "Wang Guanshi, when do you think we can build this shipyard this year? Years ago or after? If so, then we have to start preparing the wood for shipbuilding. If it is a year later, isn't this time a bit late?"

Xiangsi can't control the progress of the shipyard's construction, because the Wang family is responsible for these matters.

He also only hopes that the construction of the shipyard can be completed as soon as possible.

"Boss Xiang, I think you are really anxious about everything. As you can see, our progress is quite fast, and we have the help of our family members. So many people are working hard, according to my estimation , if it doesn’t rain, the shipyard will be completed a year ago. If it rains, I can’t promise you this.” Wang Sheng knew that Xiang Si was anxious, but it’s not such an urgent way.

This is not an official matter, but a civil matter.

If it's an official matter, then it doesn't matter if it rains or not.

If the work is completed within the prescribed time, that is when the work will be completed, otherwise, all officials and laborers will be punished.

If it is put on the construction of the border, if it cannot be completed on time, it may be killed.

After Wang Sheng finished talking about the progress, he pointed to some wood piled up at the pier and said: "My Wang family specially obtained those wood from Shu for the purpose of building ships. Moreover, my Wang family has been transporting wood , So don’t worry about this matter, Manager Xiang. My husband has already told me that as long as it involves the shipyard, I will find a way to handle everything.”

"Steward Wang, you also know how much my little lord cares about this shipyard. From the dredging of ocean water, to the wharf, the shipyard, and the ships in the future. The money your little lord will spend, then But hundreds of thousands. Such a large amount of money, and my young man is in Chang'an, so he can't come to Xixiang at any time. If I don't keep an eye on it, so much money will be in vain." Looking around Looking at some wood at the pier, he actually knew that those woods were used for shipbuilding.

but.

Li Chongyuan asked him to pay more attention to this matter, if he didn't pay attention, the money would be wasted.

Wang Sheng smiled and nodded, "Master Xiang, we have been dealing with each other for a few months now, don't you know about my affairs? Don't worry, everything is in the plan. But, you say This is Yangshui. I wonder if the Shi family will arrange for them to repair the two sides of Yangshui after they have finished their help. This side belongs to the south, and there is more rain than the north. If it is going to rain, the boats will It's not good to come in."

"That's, that's, I've already told Shi's family about this matter. After they finish their help during this period, they will go to repair the two sides of the Yangshui River." Wen Xiangsi nodded hurriedly.

The repair of foreign water must also be done.

Li Chongyuan once confessed, even in the letter.

In any case, both sides of the Yangshui must be repaired, and don't be afraid to spend money.

The section from Hanshui to Licun's wharf is even more important.

As for the renovation of the Yangshui waters from Lizhuang to Xixiang, Li Chongyuan said that Xiangsi can progress according to the progress.

The dredging work is over.

The Shi family, as well as the water workers hired by the Shi family, went to the shipyard every day to help.

Many people are powerful.

In half a month, the shipyard has been half built.

After half of the construction was completed, they followed Xiang Si's words and began to repair both sides of the ocean.

The amount of this project is much larger than that of dredging foreign water channels.

For them, the dredging of the waterway is within their grasp.

And the repair of this waterway is extremely simple.

The ancestors have dealt with water for generations, and these things in the water have long been familiar to them.

They are professional, more professional than anyone.

When the repairs on both sides of the ocean began, Xiang Si could see the professionalism of these people, and he was amazed and praised.

Xixiang is under construction.

And Lizhuang is also under construction.

After more than a month, the reservoir is changing every day.

Li Chongyuan, who got up early in the morning for morning exercises, began to have an extra follower, that is the little lunatic.

As for the little girl Wan'er, she used to clamor every day to follow her fourth brother for the spring, summer, autumn and winter, but now, she spends three days fishing and two days drying the net.

But Li Chongyuan didn't care about her.

If you can run, you can run, if you can't, just run.

The little girl is from every family, if she becomes a Vajra Barbie, she will have something to play with.

As soon as the little lunatic leads the goose into the puddle every day, he will immediately come outside the small courtyard and wait for Li Chongyuan, the little man, to get up.

Then I followed Li Chongyuan and started running in the morning.

The little lunatic's physical strength is not bad, much better than that of Li Chongzhen.

On the first morning run, the little lunatic followed Li Chongyuan for at least five miles before stopping panting heavily.

And the further back, the little lunatic is increasing the distance every day.

up to now.

Already able to run nearly seven miles in one breath.

but.

Li Chongyuan told the little lunatic to slow down, take his time, don't go too far, just limit the little guy to run a few miles a day, and the longest run is five miles.

Li Chongyuan can now run twenty or thirty miles at a stretch, that's because he has been running for a long time and has already practiced it.

But the little lunatic can't do it, he's just started.

If he chased Li Chongyuan every day, he would lose his leg if not useless.

(Hey, the author runs three to four days a week, ten kilometers each time, and the pace is about 6 minutes. The author's goal is to participate in a marathon, and get a card to hang at home within the closing time , to show off to others, hahahaha.)
After the morning exercise, Li Chongyuan took Li Chongzhen and the little lunatic who was with him all the way home, "Little lunatic, in two days, the sugar cane will be cut down, and then I will get you some sucrose for you, Mr. eat."

"Eat, sweet." The little lunatic swallowed when he saw Li Chongyuan pointing at the sugarcane on the side of the path.

Sugar cane, the little madman has been eating a lot recently.

The sugar cane has grown so far that it can basically be cut down.

only.

Recently, Li Chongyuan is too busy to spare time to get sugar cane.

At this time, even the top leaves of the sugarcane have started to turn yellow. If they are not cut, they will rot in the ground.

On the other hand, Li Chongzhen became very interested when Li Chongyuan said that he was going to make sucrose, "Cousin, you keep saying that sugar cane is made of sugar, how is this sugar made?"

"You will know when the time comes. Today I will let Lao Xu and Yao Kong make a device for extracting sugar cane juice, and the sugar cane will be ready in two days. At that time, we will boil sugar again." Li Chongyuan replied with a mysterious smile .

Squeeze cane sugar, and then boil brown sugar.

This is basically not seen in the north.

after all.

The further north you go, the more difficult it is to grow sugar cane.

Li Chongyuan was able to grow sugar cane in Li Zhuang, which is a bit unusual.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan has always attributed this to the little lunatic.

With such a god-man in Lizhuang, Li Chongyuan doubted whether all kinds of citrus from the south could be grown in Lizhuang.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan was still planning in his heart whether he could try it out, and if it worked out, then this would be Tang Guo's only one.

After having breakfast.

Li Chongyuan immediately called Yao Kong, and together they went to the blacksmith's house, found Lao Xu's family, and began to discuss making a device specially used for squeezing sugarcane juice.

And this time.

A standard carriage in the palace, accompanied by several ordinary carriages, and hundreds of imperial troops, came out from the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an City.

Cheng Chumo, the captain of Marquis Wu who was in charge of the city gate, looked at the carriage in front of him, his eyes were full of envy, "Li Chongyuan, this little guy, is really annoying. Others are rewarded and promoted once every few years." Well, he is good. Over the past year, the title has been promoted and promoted, and the rewards have become heavier each time. I don’t know if he got lucky or took the Shengjue pill. People are better than people, really It's maddening."

"Brother Chumo, don't be envious. You are going to take over your father's position in the future, and the Duke is envious of a county magistrate. How dare you." A school lieutenant next to him joked.

Cheng Chu gave the man a blank look, "Xi Jue is Fu Yin, and Li Chong Yuan did it himself."

After nearly an hour.

This group of people arrived outside Li Zhuang.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside Li Zhuang, the guards hidden in the dark immediately came out from nowhere and greeted the standard carriage in the palace, "Which nobleman is coming to Li Zhuang?"

A servant got off the carriage, and when he saw the guard, he smiled and said: "I have received the order of the Holy Majesty, and if you come to read the imperial decree to County Uncle Li, please go and inform County Uncle Li, so that he can prepare the incense case. Accept the edict."

When the guard heard about the incense preparation case, he was shocked, cupped his hands and left quickly.

An incense case is required.

That was no ordinary decree.

And they also know that those who can prepare incense cases are either promoted or knighted.

The guard returned to the small courtyard and reported to Li Yuan who was sitting in the small courtyard.

After hearing this, Li Yuan knew what was going on, looked at Hou Zai's Jin servant and said, "Yuan'er is entrusted, so I won't be angry here. You can ask someone to call Yuan'er back, let's go out for a walk." Walk."

Jin Neishi knew it well, and after giving instructions to the guard, he followed Li Yuan out of the small courtyard and walked towards the reservoir.

It didn't take long.

Li Chongyuan got the news and went back to the courtyard.

Qiao Su and others have also received the news and returned.

Their young master is about to be conferred, and they are happily busy preparing the incense table and everything that needs to be prepared.

Li Yuan chose not to rest in the small courtyard, Li Chongyuan knew the result of the imperial decree as soon as he guessed.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't care.

There are some things that Li Chongyuan cannot control.

Even Li Yuan can't control him, so what can Li Chongyuan do.

After everything was prepared, Li Chongyuan sent Qiao Su to invite Hou Zaiwai's servants and others over.

As soon as the servant arrived at the small courtyard, Li Chongyuan smiled, "It turns out that it is the servant Dai, you may sit for a while longer."

"Haha, County Uncle Li, slaves should listen to Uncle Li's words, and enjoy the blessing of County Uncle Li." Waiter Dai Nei complimented with a smile.

everything's ready.

The waiter Dai didn't say much anymore, he waved to a little waiter behind him, took the imperial decree handed over by him, spread it out and began to read the imperial decree, "Li Chongyuan, the family member of the Li family, accepts the decree."

"Minister Li Chongyuan accepts the decree." Li Chongyuan bowed to the imperial decree and waited for the imperial decree to be read.

Dai Neishi put on a smile on his face, "Li Chongyuan, the son of the Li family, is in the position of supervisory censor. He judged the evil officials and subordinates in Xixiang. Hou, one thousand food, two thousand fields, five hundred pancakes, one thousand silk, and one hundred thousand gold."

Li Chongyuan bowed his body and listened to Dai's edict reading out the imperial decree.

When he heard the name of the county marquis, his heart was still a little empty.

original.

It doesn't matter whether it's Li Chongyuan, or the old lady of the same family, or even Li Yuan.

Everyone believed that after Li Chongyuan arrived in Xixiang, he got a copy of the Wanmin Book, and this honor alone would allow him to be promoted to two ranks of title, directly from the title of County Earl to the title of County Duke.

Unexpectedly.

Now this result is still the magistrate of the county.

As for other rewards, Li Chongyuan actually felt that he ignored them.

If you want money, you have what you have.

Important things, although he lacked Li Chongyuan, he was not short of that little bit.

This also made Li Chongyuan remember that Li Yuan left the small courtyard when he heard that the imperial decree was coming. It can be seen that Li Yuan did not want to stay here to be angry.

in fact.

Li Chongyuan had expected this result a long time ago.

Even though Li Yuan sent the golden servant back to the palace, the final result was still the same.

This is enough to show that although Li Shimin, the emperor, can control the government, he still needs to consider the thoughts of many court officials and various factors.

Among them, there is the room in "Fang Mou Du Duan".

When Dai's servant read out the imperial edict, his eyes glanced at Li Chongyuan from time to time.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan's expression was a little abnormal, he also knew in his heart that the imperial decree was not as expected, and immediately, he couldn't show any more smiles on his face.

Dai Neishi continued to read out the imperial decree, "Confer Li Chongyuan as a doctor of the court, Li Chongyuan as a general of Huaihua, and Li Chongyuan as a captain of Shangqi. "

After half a day.

The decree is read out.

And when Li Chongyuan listened to the contents of the imperial decree, he also wanted to laugh.

Chaoyi doctor, a Wensan official, under the fifth rank.

General Huaihua Lang, a Wusan official, is also under the fifth rank.

The Captain of Shangqi is just an honor, and he is the fifth rank.

As for the Dushui Order, Li Chongyuan was a little surprised by this.

Dushui Ling is an official who manages the country's waterways and irrigation of rivers, canals and ponds.
