Datang Nongwang

Chapter 587
Looking at this group of officials, Li Chongyuan knew in his heart that they were really worried that Li Chongyuan came to Xixiang for inspection just like last year.

The official position of supervisory censor seems to be of low rank.

But this official position can go directly to the court, and even directly to the power of the emperor.

and.

They also know that it is impossible for anyone to have a clean butt, so it is normal to worry about it.

Again.

Emperor Li Shimin crowned Li Chongyuan with the post of supervisory censor, and he could even transfer a hundred officers and men of the army.

even.

If Li Chongyuan really made a move, it would be like cutting grass and roots, and no one would be spared.

although.

These officials have not been working in Xixiang for a long time, it can be said that it has only been more than half a year.

But Li Chongyuan's reputation in Xixiang was absolutely thunderous, which also made them very distrustful of what Li Chongyuan said.

Li Chongyuan smiled awkwardly, stood up and cupped his hands with the officials, "Everyone, you see that the common people are still here, and we don't need to say any polite words here, the common people are the most important, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, the people are the most important thing, the people are the most important thing." When Li Chongyuan said that the people are the most important thing, all the officials echoed.

Li Chongyuan rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "It seems that it's time for lunch, Zhu Biejia, I wonder if I can taste the food of the state government office together with all the common people?"

"Ah. Of course, of course. Come here, hurry up and prepare meals. I want to have lunch with all the common people, Li County Marquis, and my Xixiang colleagues." Zhu Shengyi heard Li Chongyuan's words, At first he was shocked, but then he reacted.

lunch.

Li Chongyuan didn't really want to eat.

It's just that I want to use this state government office to entertain the representatives of these common people.

Li Chongyuan did not dare to offend these common people, nor could he.

He kindly said that he wanted to thank Li Chongyuan, if he didn't even eat lunch, Li Chongyuan's face would be embarrassing too.

and so.

Li Chongyuan also happened to take advantage of this state government office to entertain these representatives of the common people.

Twenty or thirty representatives of the common people.

There were old ones, middle-aged ones, young people, old women, and two wives.

There was even a child among them, about six or seven years old.

Such a representative of the people can be said to be completely different from other places.

Representatives of the people in other places are either octogenarians or elderly.

And these old people can be said to have considerable status in the local area, and they can even be said to be representatives of the local clan.

But here in Xixiang.

On the contrary, these representatives of the people have become the most authentic and representative.

After chatting with each other for a long time, and talking about irrelevant things for a long time, the voice came that said lunch was ready.

Zhu Shengzhi quickly approached Li Chongyuan, stretched out his hand and said, "Li County Marquis, please."

"Please, please, I'm a guest, not a host, so of course Zhu Biejia has to invite first." Li Chongyuan responded rationally, who was embarrassed, or who had the face to go first.

Zhu Shengzhi and others pushed back and forth again, and finally had to go first.

After everyone entered the backyard of the state government office, all the officials had sat down, and the common people had been arranged properly. Li Chongyuan was very satisfied and nodded slightly to Zhu Shengzhi to express his gratitude.

Zhu Shengzhi thought that Li Chongyuan meant dinner, so he got up quickly, and made a toast to Li Chongyuan and the others, "My fellow colleagues, it is rare for Li County Marquis to come to Xixiang. Do we want to pay respects to Li County Marquis?"

"That's right, that's right, I'll respect County Marquis Li together."

"Respect Li County Marquis."

All the Xixiang officials stood up one after another to agree, drinking wine and wanting to respect Li Chongyuan.

But Li Chongyuan felt a little helpless, and quickly stood up, holding his wine glass, "Everyone, it's meaningless to respect me. If you want to respect, you have to respect these people who have made contributions to Xixiang."

Li Chongyuan doesn't often drink wine.

But right now, I propose to hold a luncheon on the land of the state government office, in order to thank these people, not to cater to these officials.

"Li Xianhou is right. If you want to respect, you have to respect the people of my Xixiang. Everyone, please accept our drink." Seeing Li Chongyuan's words, Zhu Shengzhi immediately understood.

Nearly [-] people sitting on the table not far away, when they saw Biejia from Yangzhou wanting to toast them, they, who were already a little nervous, became even more nervous.

but.

When they saw Li Chongyuan beckoning to them with a smile, they raised their wine glasses and saluted the officials in Xixiang.

No courtesy.

Nor did he refuse.

It is even more unacceptable for them to refuse.

It is rare for an official to offer wine to the people. It is unimaginable for them to enjoy such a thing, and it is even more impossible to restrain the unspeakable words in their hearts.

The old man drank, the woman drank.

Even the little baby drank it.

but.

After Xiaowa poured a glass of wine into her mouth imitating the appearance of an adult, she suddenly coughed violently.

But this scene made all the officials present laugh out loud, pointing at the little baby and making some teasing remarks.

currently.

No one would care about the words of these officials, and no one would take their words as a joke.

Li Chongyuan looked over, "Don't drink it, baby. This wine is not a good thing. Eat more food and fill your stomach."

When the little baby's mother heard this, she gave Li Chongyuan a thankful look.

lunch.

Finish eating in the lively and dull.

After drinking some tea, Li Chongyuan bowed his hands and bid farewell to the Xixiang officials: "Everyone, thank you for letting me entertain them with your precious land. I, Li Chongyuan, salute you here."

After Li Chongyuan saluted, the officials were a little dumbfounded, but after thinking about what Li Chongyuan said, they realized that Li Chongyuan was using the prefectural government to entertain the people.

"Marquis Li County, this is what I was waiting for, so there is no need to thank you." Zhu Shengzhi hurriedly returned a salute.

And this time.

Xingba had already brought five golden pancakes and handed them to Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan took the golden pancakes, put them in Zhu Shengzhi's hand and said, "Biejia Zhu, this feast for the common people was borrowed from the government of Guizhou. Well, I, Li Chongyuan, must not be able to cool the hearts of the common people, so this is why I came up with this bad plan. Please ask Zhu Biejia to accept this money, otherwise, I will not dare to see you in Xixiang again."

Giving money for meals is a matter of course.

Moreover.

He, Li Chongyuan, also made a good idea, using his state government office as a restaurant to entertain a group of people.

This violated the unspoken rules in the officialdom, and it was even more bizarre.

But Li Chongyuan did just that, and he did it very neatly.

Zhu Shengzhi looked at the five golden pancakes in his hands, and listening to what Li Chongyuan said, he didn't know whether to accept them or not.

On thanks.

It is Zhu Shengzhi who needs to thank Li Chongyuan.

If it weren't for Li Chongyuan, Zhu Shengzhi wouldn't have been sent to Xixiang as a part-timer, and he wouldn't have been directly promoted because of Li Chongyuan.

Except him Zhu Shengzhi.

Among the officials present, at least [-]% of them were promoted because Li Chongyuan disturbed Yangzhou and Xixiang.

But these things.

Li Chongyuan didn't know.

All the officials looked at Li Chongyuan and then at Zhu Shengzhi, and they all gave up their bags, saying that they dared not accept the five golden pancakes from Li Chongyuan.

to the end.

Even the common people paid out of their own pockets, insisting that Li Chongyuan take back the five golden pancakes.

"Everyone, everyone. It's not that I, Li Chongyuan, can't afford the money, and I, Li Chongyuan, also proposed the proposal. In short, I have to accept the money if I don't accept it. Otherwise, you just want me to fall into a place where I can eat and drink everywhere. You can't get a bad reputation for drinking." Li Chongyuan directly dropped a sentence, confirming the matter.

Zhu Shengzhi looked at the golden cake in his hand, and felt that it was very hot.

But Li Chongyuan's words were all about this, if he didn't take the golden pancake, maybe Li Chongyuan would get angry.

but.

But Zhu Shengzhi thought to himself, "I'm afraid I can't take the money. I'll go to Li Zhuang to pay a visit to the Marquis of County Li in person tomorrow, so I can take this opportunity to make friends." '

The money was taken.

Things are over.

Li Chongyuan bid farewell to all the officials in Xixiang, "Stay here, you will have a long time to come. If you are free, or if you are free, you can come to my Li Village and I, Li Chongyuan, will sweep the couch to welcome you."

"If the Marquis of County Li is not afraid of disturbing you, I will go to visit you later." Everyone responded with a smile.

After leaving the state government office.

Li Chongyuan was led to a certain place by those twenty or thirty people.

And the person cited was the little boy who was about five or six years old.

There is a saying.

Xiaowa's eyes can best see who is good and who is bad.

As for Li Chongyuan, the so-called official, he didn't have any airs at all, even if it was a reprimand, or even Li Chongyuan's guards never made any reprimands.

This is not.

The little boy took Li Chongyuan's hand and walked towards a certain street.

And when Li Chongyuan and the others came out of the state government office, many people had already rushed away.

Not long after, hundreds of people began to gather around like in the morning.

Xiaowa took Li Chongyuan's hand and walked towards a small courtyard, "Li County Marquis, this is my home, I invite you to eat my mother's preserved fruit."

The little boy's mother had already stepped into the small courtyard first, brought an old stool for Li Chongyuan, stretched out her arm to wipe it again, and stood aside with a courteous face, "Mr. Li, please sit down."

Li Chongyuan saw that the woman was very clever, so he was not polite, and sat on the stool directly.

And with Li Chongyuan this one.

All the common people sat on the ground one after another, surrounding Li Chongyuan as if they were listening to a lecture.

Even the common people who heard the news, regardless of whether the small house could accommodate so many people, rushed up one after another, sitting on the ground next to each other, watching Li Chongyuan quietly.

The courtyard was overcrowded, and the courtyard gate was full of people.

Soon.

Even the walls of this house were covered with people.

Fortunately, the courtyard wall is strong, otherwise, they would have climbed on it, and if it fell down, it would be really easy to cause accidents.

tree outside the yard.

Some daring ordinary people climbed up directly and looked into the courtyard with their heads poked, as if they were watching a play.

Such a scene.

It immediately reminded Li Chongyuan of the news he saw in his previous life.

When a certain leader of the country visited a certain place, the local people flocked to him after hearing the news, blocking up the inspected family.

As for the current situation, although there are some differences from the previous life, the scene is somewhat similar.

"Everyone, please pay attention to safety. Don't knock down other people's courtyard walls. Otherwise, you will have to work as coolies to help others build this courtyard wall." Seeing that the courtyard wall was full of people, Li Chongyuan was careful. A reminder.

However, Li Chongyuan's reminder did not receive a corresponding response at all, which made the people laugh and say no.

The crowd held Li Chongyuan high like stars holding the moon, and wanted to hear some thoughtful words from Li Chongyuan, an official who has no official airs at all.

of course.

In the hearts of all the people, they naturally had some expectations in their hearts, that they could catch up with Li Chongyuan, an honorable official.

Even if they are servants or grooms, they are willing.

The little boy squeezed through the crowd and came to Li Chongyuan with a large amount of preserved fruit in his hand, "Li County Marquis, you eat it, it's made by my mother, it's delicious."

"Sweet, it's really good. This woman, is this your family's business? Where's your man?" Li Chongyuan tasted a piece, nodded and asked the little baby's mother.

The woman had to ask, and replied sadly: "My man died three years ago, and he died at the hands of those dog officials. If Li County Marquis hadn't arrested those dog officials, my man's grievance would have been more serious. Maybe you won't even get the application. Marquis of Li County, please be respected by our mother and son."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, tears flowed down her cheeks, she embraced her son, and wanted to kowtow to Li Chongyuan.

"Don't worry, the matter is over, and life still needs to be lived. Live well and raise the child. If you have any difficulties, go to Li Village to find him." Li Chongyuan couldn't bear the worship of this mother and son, so he quickly grabbed the child. He stopped the kneeling of the mother and son, and pointed to Xiang Si behind him.

for a moment.

Because of the matter of the mother and child, all the common people told Li Chongyuan about the hardships of their families.

These people present were basically oppressed and persecuted by the Xixiang officials at that time, as well as the Gao family and the local clan.

And what we will talk about later.

It made Li Chongyuan blush more and more.

This is not.

A woman put a smile on her face, pointed to a woman standing outside the door and said: "Mr. Li County, I heard you just now that you are not married yet. Do you think my girl can catch your eyes? If you enter Come on, if Marquis Li Xian takes my girl away, she can even be a bed warmer."

And the woman standing at the gate of the courtyard, when she heard what her old mother said, her face was flushed, and she looked at Li Chongyuan shyly, with expectation in her eyes.

"Marquis of Li County, my daughter is seventeen years old, and she looks upright. Marquis of Li County, take my girl."

"Li County Marquis, I also have a daughter who is fourteen years old, she is very lovely, Li County Marquis, you can take her as a bed warmer girl."

"."

moment.

With that woman's words starting, there are not a few people who want to give their daughters to Li Chongyuan as bed warmers.

This made Li Chongyuan immediately want to escape from this place of right and wrong.

I'm still a child, why are you like me?
