Chapter 570 Let's Have a Small Banquet
but.

The Dushui Order is also divided into four parts.

One is the Dushui Order of Taichang Temple, the second is the Dushui Order of Sinong Temple, the third is the Dushui Order of Taifu Temple, and the third is the Dushui Order of Sanfu Temple.

Sanfu refers to the collective name of Gyeonggi, Zuofengyi and Youfufeng.

Sanfu originally originated from the Western Han Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, its name was still used.

Most of these four Dushui orders are official positions on the fifth rank.

And Li Chongyuan's official position as the capital water order of Sinong Temple is obviously related to agriculture, and it is more inclined to farmland irrigation.

Just when Li Chongyuan was still thinking about the Dushuiling position, Dai's servant suddenly changed his style of painting, finished reading the imperial edict, looked at Li Chongyuan and said, "Li County Marquis, it seems that you are the Dushuiling's post. You may be puzzled. The Holy Majesty has long expected that you will be puzzled, so the Holy Majesty specially told the servants to pass this letter on to you."

Hearing the sound, Li Chongyuan raised his head to look at Dai Neishi.

Dai Nei's attendant took out a copy of Li Shimin's handbook from his arms, and handed it to Li Chongyuan.

to this end.

Seeing that the edict had been read out, Li Chongyuan and the others got up quickly.

After receiving the letter handed over by Dai Nei, Li Chongyuan also understood why the post of Dushui Ling was given to him.

on the bright side.

Li Chongyuan's capital water order belonged to Sinong Temple, but in fact he only cared about his own one-acre three-point land, and didn't need to take care of other things at all.

Li Chongyuan's one-acre three-point land refers to Li Zhuang, the second refers to Xixiang, and the third refers to Li Chongyuan's other fields and other lands.

of course.

In addition to the irrigation of these farmlands belonging to Li Chongyuan, it is also necessary to manage flood water and foreign water.

same.

In the handbook, Li Shimin also asked Li Chongyuan to submit a statement, or even a suggestion, on the irrigation of farmland across the country under appropriate circumstances.

After figuring it out, Li Chongyuan asked Mrs. Dai to sit down and served tea.

"Mr. Dai, you are always with the Holy Majesty. Does the Majesty have any other words to convey to me?" Li Chongyuan knew that every time Li Chongyuan himself was appointed, Li Shimin would definitely have something to say.

to this end.

Only then did Li Chongyuan have this question.

Dai Neishi looked at Li Chongyuan and said with a smile on his face: "Haha, Li County Marquis is really good at predicting things, it seems that Li County Marquis already knew that His Majesty has something to say."

"I'm almost ashamed of what you said, Nei Dai. I can't predict things like a god. I'm just asking the last question out of habit." Li Chongyuan said modestly.

Waiter Dai Nei took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The Holy Majesty said that you will definitely feel unhappy about this reward, and specially asked the servant to instruct Marquis Li County that this matter is not something he can decide in a single word. Above all, he is not able to decide everything by himself, so please understand his painstaking efforts."

"How dare I blame the Holy Majesty. I am already very happy to be named the Marquis of the County. How dare I have other complaints and unhappiness. After Dai Neishi returns to the palace, please thank the Holy Majesty for me." Li Chongyuan said with a face Although there is joy on the face, there is still a lot of helplessness in my heart.

A well-behaved county duke is gone.

It is impossible to be happy on anyone.

A real book of people, but in exchange for only a promotion of title.

If my aunt finds out about this, I don't know how long she will be angry.

Li Chongyuan didn't dare to show any displeasure, and he had to pretend to be very happy, and even had to go into the palace to thank the emperor Li Shimin.

But at this time Li Chongyuan was really unhappy.

But don't be too quick, you have to suffer.

After chatting with Dai Neishi for a long time, Li Chongyuan gave him a few catties of good wine, and then sent Dai Neishi and his party out of Li Zhuang.

Li Chongyuan, who returned to the small courtyard, sat in the small courtyard, looking at the rewards in the courtyard, feeling empty in his heart.

The imperial decree in his hand doesn't feel fragrant anymore.

Qiao Su ordered the people to carry and move, and after a while, all the things in the yard had been moved into the big house, "My lord, why are you unhappy about such a happy event?"

"Why are you happy? As you can see, my uncle has avoided him. He obviously has a lot of opinions on today's award. Besides, according to the normal regulations, I am going to confer the title of county duke, but Now, only the county marquis, my uncle is unhappy, and my mother will definitely be unhappy too, how can I be happy." Li Chongyuan glanced at Qiao Su who had finished his work and replied.

Qiao Su didn't have much thought about Li Chongyuan's award this time.

For them, conferring a reward is a major event, as long as they can confer a reward and be promoted, it is something to be happy about.

not to mention.

On Li Chongyuan's head, he was crowned with several official positions.

Not to mention the post of Dushui Ling.

The county magistrate of Huxian County has been put from the generation character to the orthographic character.

Just that.

Qiao Su thought it was a happy event.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan's face was still full of melancholy, Qiao Su felt a little puzzled, but he felt that this was not a bad thing, so he comforted Li Chongyuan, "Xiao Langjun, you haven't arrived this year, but now you are already Now that he is a county marquis, he is the same as Erlang, so what is there to be dissatisfied with? In the future, Mr. Xiaolang will definitely be the Duke of the County, and maybe he can be the Duke or King of the County in the future. Our days are still It’s long, why bother about losing it for a while.”

"Oh? You, old Joe, can see it. But yes, we are still young, and I don't believe that my title only stops at the title of county marquis. It's okay, don't be here. Look at me, there are still a lot of things to be busy, go get busy." Li Chongyuan was relieved by Qiao Su's words.

Also as Josu said.

How old are you.

There is still a long way to go.

Moreover.

Didn't Li Shimin let go of his words, as long as his paddle steamer is out, the county king will never run away.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan was no longer so lost in his heart, he got up directly and went to the blacksmith's room.

At this time, Qiao Su, seeing that Li Chongyuan was no longer worried, hurriedly followed Li Chongyuan out of the small courtyard, and called Li Chongyuan, "Little Lang, do you have to go back to your family to say something about your entrustment? Report the happy event to the old lady."

"Look at the arrangement, but I think A Niang must have got the news. In this way, if it's convenient for you, then go back to Chang'an. I really don't have time to go back to Chang'an today." Li Chongyuan heard Josu's words seemed reasonable.

The elder is the elder, let alone his own mother.

But Li Chongyuan still needs to discuss with Lao Xu and the others how to make a device for extracting sugarcane juice, and he really can't get away.

If this time Li Chongyuan was named the Duke of the county.

Li Chongyuan will definitely return to Chang'an as soon as possible to report this matter to his aunt.

But now, let's not add to the blockage.

and.

There is also an angry little old man at home. If this little old man keeps getting angry, something might happen.

After Qiao Su got the words, he saw Li Chongyuan went to the blacksmith's house again, he let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Xiaolang is afraid that the old lady will be unhappy, so he dare not report back to Chang'an."

"Xiao Su, when you go back to Chang'an to report to the old lady about Mr. Xiao Lang's conferment, you'd better keep your mouth shut, and don't make the old lady unhappy." Qiao Hui, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, reminded her.

Qiao Su looked back at her sister, "Sister, I know."

Qiao Su went to Chang'an.

Li Chongyuan, on the other hand, was busy discussing with Lao Xu and the others about the device for squeezing sugarcane juice in the blacksmith's room.

On the other hand, Li Yuan at this time.

After arriving at the reservoir and turning around for a long time, I returned to the small courtyard.

Li Yuan, who returned to the small courtyard, did not sit in the small courtyard to rest and drink tea as usual, but returned to his own room on the second floor of the big house without saying a word.

Seeing the gloomy look on Li Yuan's face, Jin Neishi knew that Li Yuan was extremely unhappy.

Fearing that Li Yuan's anger would affect his mood, he sighed inwardly, found Li Chongyuan, and told about Li Yuan.

When Li Chongyuan heard it, his heart felt helpless, "Oh~~ It's just my little thing that made uncle unhappy. It's all my fault."

After greeting Old Xu and the others, they went straight back to the courtyard.

from morning.

Persuaded until noon.

A lot of good things and bad things were said.

Li Chongyuan even called Wan'er and Li Chongzhen over.

After finally persuading the little old man out of the house, Li Chongyuan's heart fell to the ground.

"Uncle, what a big deal this is. You have already experienced big storms. You are just a title, so there is no need for you to sulk. Uncle, you have also seen that my nephew and grandson are still capable. Just give me a few years Don't talk about the county duke, in two years, I'll get you a county duke for my grandnephew, so you can take a good look at it." Seeing Li Yuan leaving the room, Li Chongyuan began to brag a little.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Chongyuan and went downstairs directly.

After going downstairs, Li Yuan sat down, let out a long sigh of sullenness in his heart, and said, "Uncle, I'm not angry about a title, but at the court, it's not something my Li family has the final say on. Tangtang A monarch who is led by the nose by a group of villains, what kind of monarch is this?"

"Uncle, the affairs of the country are not small. Moreover, in the highest position, there must be some fetters. If the country wants to prosper, it cannot be separated from the suggestions of the court officials and the efforts of the officials. Besides, the country is big. , there are too many officials, and it is impossible to judge the affairs of the country with one's own words. This is like a county. If you want to develop, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of people, and you will have any problems. The county magistrate can't decide everything." Li Chongyuan began to comfort Li Yuan as if he knew the country's political affairs very well.

Originally, this happened to Li Chongyuan.

But in the end, he had to comfort Li Yuan.

Inverted.

Totally reversed.

But there is no other way, the little old man Li Yuan is sulking.

Listening to Li Chongyuan's words, Li Yuan's face wrinkled into a bun, also began to stretch.

On the other hand, Wan'er and Li Chongzhen also began to comfort Li Yuan with words.

Finally, with the efforts of the three of them.

Only then did the little old man have a smile on his face, which made the three of them heave a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until lunch time that Li Yuan returned to his previous state, discussing how much wine he had with Wan'er, and the old and the young were arguing with each other.

And this time.

Qiao Su, who rushed to Chang'an, showed Li Chongyuan's imperial decree to the old lady, and said cautiously: "Old lady, Mr. Xiao Lang said that he is still young, and a title doesn't mean anything. Moreover, Mr. Xiao Lang also said that with the book of ten thousand people, it can be worth ten copies of the iron certificate of the alchemy book. Therefore, the old lady should not be embarrassed when Mr. Xiao Lang talks about his being entrusted."

"Hey~~, this matter, the old body has already known it in his heart. The court has been arguing about Yuan'er's conferment for a long time, and it is only now that there is a result. How can the old body not think of it. Forget it, this is also Yuan'er Er'er's life, I am useless as a mother, I can't fight for Yuan'er, and let Yuan'er come to comfort me." In fact, the old lady already knew it in her heart.

But before she saw the imperial decree, she still had some expectations in her heart.

The Duke of the county is not a bit higher than the Marquis of the county.

On the surface, there is only a whole step difference.

But in fact it is far worse.

There are many people whose titles are above the county marquis.

The old lady is the most clear about this point.

and.

The old lady even hoped that her sons would have a higher title, so that her descendants would also be able to benefit from her blessings.

For example, Li Chongyuan's baronship at the beginning.

If the next generation makes a slight mistake, the title will basically be taken away.

Except for this.

The Duke of the county, that is, he can go to court.

After listening to the old lady's words, Qiao Su felt more at ease.

He was really afraid that the old lady would be as sullen as Li Yuan when she heard about Li Chongyuan's conferment.

After seeing the old lady let out a long breath, Qiao Su bowed his hands to the old lady and said: "Old lady, Mr. Xiao Lang is appointed, do you think we have to hold a banquet?"

"Let's do it, but this banquet is still mainly small, so just invite some family members to come over." After thinking for a while, the old lady nodded and said.

Banquets have to be held, but not big ones.

The old lady was talking about her own family, only some people from the Li family and some people from the Li clan.

The original position of magistrate is gone, but only a magistrate.

If it is done in a big way, it will inevitably fall into the mouth.

It's a small event, which can be regarded as bringing the relationship between Li's family members closer.

Qiao Su, who got the words, asked: "Then I will go to Steward Qi to ask someone about a good day."

"Go, our Li family hasn't been lively for a long time, so we just took this opportunity to have a lively one. Yuan'er's house is too deserted, so let's put this banquet at Yuan'er's house. In addition, give Everyone in Yuan'er's house rewards five pieces of money, let's have fun together." The old lady took the lead for Li Chongyuan.

After Qiao Su got the words, he said goodbye to the old lady and went to find his brother-in-law.

When Qi Huo heard about Li Chongyuan being sealed again, let alone his joy.

As the housekeeper of the county magistrate's mansion, many people almost forgot that he was Li Chongyuan's housekeeper every day in the Yingbin building.

now.

The county magistrate's mansion was changed to the county marquis' mansion. As a housekeeper, his status naturally increased.
