Datang Nongwang

Chapter 762
Whether it is an official or an official.

Everyone has no power, just a vain job, receiving a salary.

But no matter what, there is an official in the body, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future, and of course there is no need to be afraid of the official.

People are afraid of officials, this is a normal phenomenon.

Not to mention the present, even in Li Chongyuan's previous life, the common people were still afraid of officials.

Moreover, in such an environment, the people are still so afraid of officials, it can be seen that there is a thought of fear of officials in the bones of Chinese people.

This is true of Chinese culture, whether it is the present or the future, it is basically the same.

Only when the legal awareness of the whole people has reached a certain level, will they not be so afraid of officials.

But the words came back again.

Whether it is an official or an official, it is all done by people.

As long as people are doing it, there will definitely be people who want to use power for personal gain, or put on official authority to scare the people.

This kind of thing is also common and normal.

Forbidden can never be banned, nor can it be eradicated.

Li Chongyuan looked at the edict, thinking in his heart if these people knew about the edict, would they be so happy that they would throw a big banquet.

It will for sure.

People like Li Chongyuan have to throw a big banquet when they get promoted, especially people like Xingba.

Wang Li looked at Li Chongyuan who was happy, and said: "Junwang Li, your request has been granted by the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty asked me to tell you something, please listen carefully."

"Director Wang, please tell me more." Li Chongyuan heard that Li Shimin still had something to tell Wang Li, and immediately sat up straight and listened quietly.

Wang Li followed Li Shimin's tone and said: "Shande, I will give you a few years to cultivate those high-yielding grain seeds. If you need anything, you can go to the palace to find me. If you can't do it, just send the seeds to me." Come here, and I will send it to the garden supervisors to try planting."

"Director Wang, please help me to thank the Holy Majesty. As for the request of the Holy Majesty, I, Li Chongyuan, will definitely do it. Please rest assured." Li Chongyuan hurriedly promised.

Asking myself to hand in the grain seeds is definitely no way.

How could he hand in the food seeds he had acquired at such a great price for no reason.

Even if Li Shimin did not agree to other people's official status, Li Chongyuan would not hand in the grain seeds for no reason.

Li Shimin and Li Chongyuan definitely believed it.

But Li Chongyuan didn't trust his ministers, let alone all the court officials in the court.

Even if it was Li Chongyuan's own uncle, Li Chongyuan would not give it to him.

It wasn't that Li Chongyuan didn't believe in Li Xiaogong, but that once people's sophistication got involved, it was impossible for Li Xiaogong to lose all face and refuse.

some time ago.

After Li Chongyuan broke into the palace to present maps and treasures to Li Shimin, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he hid in the room with Li Yuan and had a good conversation.

And what the two said was inseparable from the matter of those grain seeds.

even.

Li Chongyuan also bluntly told Li Yuan about the specific arrangements for these grain seeds, and various other things.

The vaccination was a last resort for Li Chongyuan.

Li Yuan is currently Li Chongyuan's backer, no matter what the backer is, and no matter whether Li Chongyuan chooses to face it by himself in the future, Li Chongyuan will not hide many things from Li Yuan.

Li Chongyuan saw Li Yuan's kindness to him and kept it in his heart.

For this reason, Li Chongyuan will not hide most things from Li Yuan.

At this time, Li Shimin said that if he couldn't do it, he would give him the grain seeds. Li Chongyuan would definitely not agree, and Li Yuan would not agree either.

Li Chongyuan has been a farmer for several years.

In the past few years, there have been many achievements.

Li Yuan was willing to believe in Li Chongyuan, but he did not choose to believe in Li Shimin, and Li Chongyuan was also willing to believe in Li Yuan, and would not give him the grain seeds to Li Shimin.

But the words can't be said directly, and the matter can only be tactfully dismissed.

After receiving Li Chongyuan's words, Wang Li joked lightly and said, "Your Majesty really guessed right, you definitely won't hand over the seeds to the imperial court, haha."

"Boss Wang, you should know it, and the Holy One should know it too. I, Li Chongyuan, have been farming for several years. Looking at my Tang Dynasty, who can compare with me in farming? If I can find someone out, I will hand over the seeds to you." What's the matter." Li Chongyuan felt that Li Shimin had seen through his thoughts, and immediately released bold words.

Wang Li no longer joked, but nodded heavily, "In terms of farming, King Li Jun called me the second in the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to call me the number one. This is beyond doubt. Don't worry about the Holy Majesty taking away your food seeds. The Holy Majesty once said that if anyone can feed the people of the Tang Dynasty, he will not be stingy with titles, nor will he be stingy with official positions. Even if you give him a duke, He is willing to give him a Dasinong."

After listening to Wang Li's words, Li Chongyuan felt a little relieved.

Although this heart is more at ease, Li Chongyuan is still willing to choose to believe in himself instead of others.

"I, the people of China, from the beginning of Xia Dynasty, the people of every dynasty and generation can't eat enough to fill their stomachs. Especially in times of war, the people all over the world have no food in their stomachs. There have even been countless times when people changed their sons to eat. The people are Those who are innocent, the people are innocent. The people face the loess and their backs to the sky. They work hard every day from sunrise to sunset, and work hard day and night. They are willing to serve the crops in the fields just to produce even a handful of grain. Good. But, look at those nobles, those so-called officials, those clan squires, those rich landlords, they eat the food grown by the common people, but they never treat the common people as human beings. My Chinese people suffer Ah, it's really hard." Li Chongyuan sighed.

Li Chongyuan was the son of a farmer in his previous life. Although he is the clan of the Li clan in this life, Li Chongyuan still chooses to be with the farmer as a company, just because he wants to change the state of the common people.

But Li Chongyuan also knew that if he wanted to change the current state of the people, food was the foundation.

If there is no food in your stomach, even if you tell the sky, everything will be of no avail.

If you want to change, start with the food first, and then carry out the reform one by one.

Whether this way will work or not is unknown.

But right now, Li Chongyuan firmly believes that he can solve the stomach problems of the common people.

After hearing Li Chongyuan's exclamation, Wang Li nodded again and again, and sighed silently: "King Li Jun is right. Don't think that I am now a close servant of the Holy One. My food is much better than that of common people and farmers, and I enjoy glory and wealth. , people are afraid of me when they see me. In fact, I am also the son of farmers, and I can best understand the hard work of farmers."

"Ah? Manager Wang, are you the son of a farmer?" Li Chongyuan couldn't believe what Wang Li said.

Speaking of which, Li Chongyuan really didn't know Wang Li's background.

Li Chongyuan only knew that this chief internal servant had always put on a face that strangers should not get close to. Anyone who saw him was a little afraid of him, and he did not dare to offend him.

Don't talk about juniors like Li Chongyuan, even if they are dukes, they will treat Wang Li with respect and will not offend Wang Li.

As for Wang Li's identity or his family, Li Chongyuan never seemed to mention it, even if Li Chongyuan asked his elder brothers, they didn't know.

It is really rare for a farmer's son to be the emperor's close servant.

Eunuchs already existed in the Shang Dynasty, but there were no eunuchs at that time.

It was not until the Western Zhou Dynasty that there was a record of using eunuchs.

Even in the Warring States Period, Qin Dynasty, and Western Han Dynasty, eunuchs did not get formal official positions.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that all eunuchs were used in the palace to handle all affairs in the palace, and there were various positions of eunuchs.

And these eunuchs are basically of low status.

In the previous dynasty, that is, the Sui Dynasty, eunuchs reached a level even more.

There are those who can’t eat enough, or have no fields or land. In order to survive, they have become eunuchs from the palace and entered the palace as eunuchs, just to have a bite to eat, to keep their families safe, or to have a way of life.

and so.

These eunuchs in the palace were originally of high status, so they were basically rare.

Therefore, these eunuchs in the palace are either born in a humble or humble background, but those who can sit in charge of the servants are very rare.

Wang Li nodded slightly, but his head lowered when he nodded, and his expression became a little gloomy, as if he was remembering something.

Seeing this, Li Chongyuan was no longer convenient to ask further questions.

If you continue to ask questions at this time, you will really be blind.

Shortly after.

Li Chongyuan sent Wang Li, who was in a bad mood, out of the house.

Looking at the carriage where Wang Li was leaving, Li Chongyuan said with emotion: "The reason why Wang Li is close to me is because he is the son of a farmer."

"It's a blessing for us farmers to have Mr. Xiao Lang in Tang Dynasty. In this world, only Mr. Xiao Lang can think about us farmers." Tang Li behind him also said with emotion.

Li Chongyuan looked back at Tang Li and the others, smiled and waved his hands, "Don't lift me too high, or if I fall down, I will fall very badly. There are still many officials in Tang Dynasty You are dedicated to benefiting the people of the world, but I just did some things that are not against my heart, and I also have selfish intentions."

"Xiao Langjun is self-effacing. Everyone has selfishness. Xiao Langjun's selfishness is not worth mentioning compared to the stomachs of peasants and people in the world. We can be your bodyguards, Xiao Langjun. It is also our blessing." Tang Li and the others took a step back and saluted Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan didn't have the nerve to accept this gift, so he avoided it and said, "Don't do this with me. Don't think that you can avoid a banquet if you give a gift first. You also read the imperial edict just now. Tang Li, Liu Xiang, your official position is the highest, just below the seventh rank, if you don’t treat me to a good meal, be careful, I will accept your official position, hahahaha.”

Li Chongyuan laughed heartily and walked towards the mansion, in a very good mood.

Of course I'm in a good mood.

Li Shimin agreed to what I asked, which can be regarded as the settlement of Li Chongyuan's previous promise.

Although they have no real power, at least they have found an official status or an official status for them.

After returning to the palace, Wang Li replied to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the imperial edict has been transferred to King Li Jun. If the Holy Majesty asked me to convey it, the slaves have also passed it on to King Li Jun."

"How did Shande deal with it?" Li Shimin stopped his official business and raised his head to ask.

Wang Li bowed and replied: "Return to the Holy Majesty, King Li Jun said that he will definitely cultivate high-yielding grains, and he will definitely not disappoint the Holy Majesty's wishes."

"Is he, as I thought, unwilling to dedicate those seeds to the imperial court?" Li Shimin actually knew it in his heart, but he still asked unwillingly.

Wang Li replied: "Your Majesty, look at me from all over the Tang Dynasty, who is the most familiar with farming, who can be compared to King Li Jun? Although King Li Jun is not willing to dedicate those high-yield grain seeds to the Holy One, the slaves think that they do not owe you money." That's right. According to the servants' understanding, it doesn't matter whether the court supervisors of the royal palaces or other people, even if the seeds are handed over to them, not to mention wasting the seeds, maybe the time will be a waste of time. It's better to let Li The king of the county planted and cultivated it himself. Besides, the king of Li Jun went to the Eastern Continent and asked the people there how to plant it. Therefore, the servant girl thought that it was most suitable for the king of Li to plant and cultivate the seeds. Even if the seeds were wasted and damaged, the slaves also believed that King Li Jun would go to the East Continent to change the seeds for the second time. In this way, the Holy Majesty would not have to spend money and food from the court, nor would he have to pay a single soldier. At that time, if King Li is successful, the title and rewards will be given to King Li, and the Holy Majesty will gain fame and fame."

Wang Li was speaking nice words for Li Chongyuan.

Wang Li, who has never spoken so much before, did not know whether it was influenced by Li Chongyuan or because of recalling his own birth.

Under Li Shimin's inquiry, although he responded directly, he helped Li Chongyuan to say something good, and Li Shimin was speechless to refute.

Li Shimin looked at Wang Li with a smile on his face.

"Wang Li, you didn't take advantage of goodness, why did you help him speak good things today." Li Shimin joked.

When Wang Li heard the words, he quickly bent down and replied with a nervous look: "Your servant will die, but I dare not take advantage of others. Every sentence of my servant speaks from the bottom of my heart. If there is a half-truth, I will let the Holy One deal with it."

"Okay, I didn't say that what you said was a lie, what you said was indeed reasonable. Take this imperial decree and read it." After Li Shimin laughed, he took out a copy of the imperial decree he had already drawn up and handed it to Wang Li. .

Wang Li received the imperial decree, a little unclear.

However, when he saw the seals of various provinces and Li Shimin's seal on the imperial decree, he felt a little wronged.

Li Shimin just laughed at him like this just now, but in fact Li Shimin had already prepared this edict.

The aggrieved Wang Li took the imperial decree, came out of the palace again, and ran towards the cultivation workshop.

For a moment.

Wang Li came to Li Chongyuan's mansion again.

When Wang Li came again, Li Chongyuan felt a little helpless, so he had to treat each other according to the courtesy.

But when Wang Li asked him to prepare the incense case, Li Chongyuan became formal and nervous.

After a while, after setting up the incense tables, Wang Li took out the imperial decree, "Li's son Chongyuan, with the character of good virtue, gentle nature, familiar with farming, promoting water conservancy, and promoting grain production...This book confers the post of Minister of Sinonong Temple..."

After half a day.

After the imperial decree was read, everyone had already got up, but Li Chongyuan bowed his body and was a little stunned.

The imperial decree came so quickly that Li Chongyuan didn't react, he only knew that he had been promoted again.
