Datang Nongwang

Chapter 815
Land reclamation is not as simple as other jobs.

After all, it has something to do with food. Even though these helpers are not opening up wasteland for their own families, they also know that it needs to be done step by step.

Besides, the pancakes are not that delicious, and the salary of fifty cents a day is not that easy to get.

If you want to eat this meal and get this salary, you have to work hard.

Fortunately, these helpers can be regarded as their duties, and only a few dozens of them will look a little tired.

However, these dozens of tired people, when they saw Tang Li kicking down a small tree the size of a bowl, they immediately didn't dare to be tired anymore.

The small trees as big as bowls were kicked and broken. They thought their bones were not as hard as the trunks, so they could only work honestly in the end.

There are all kinds of people.

Once there are more people, it is inevitable that some people will hold some small thoughts.

When Li Chongyuan learned that it was only half a month ago, someone started stealing and cheating.

Li Chongyuan directly let Xing Ba follow Li Zhuang's model and began to choose the helper foreman.

Every 100 people is a small team, 1000 people is a big team, a total of eight teams.

In addition, tasks are assigned to each team and each team, and the team foremen and team foremen are responsible for the management.

And for these foremen, their daily wages are a few pennies more than others.

This is like when studying, each class has a monitor.

The squad leader has to choose someone who can either make small reports, or be able to stay in the field, or be able to talk and deal with people, or even study well.

In short.

Choosing a foreman is the same as choosing a squad leader. You must have certain abilities.

The foreman was elected, so naturally he had to explain the situation to these foremen.

"I don't care who is who among you, don't say anything about the governor, let alone the people from the Mingfu Shaofu in any county, when they arrive at the planting base, they have to work honestly. Anyone who steals, cheats, and Get out as soon as possible. I said earlier today. If anyone dares to make trouble, it depends on whether his neck is strong enough to withstand the slashing of a big knife. Let me tell you, if anyone among you dares to have a bad idea, it will ruin the county king. The county king is not so easy to deceive. You'd better inquire about it. Our county king has destroyed a family, so you'd better weigh it carefully." Xing Ba warned these helpers.

Of course, such a warning is absolutely depressing.

As soon as the foreman was elected and he was warned by the August [-] call, within a month, none of these helpers dared to steal or play tricks again.

As for whether there are people who are careful to investigate Li Chongyuan's affairs, maybe there are, maybe there are not.

But at least for now, there is no one who can see that someone has done something bad about Li Chongyuan.

To Li Chongyuan, land reclamation is definitely more important than being an official or secretary of justice.

The importance of high-yield grain varieties is beyond doubt.

As for the official positions hanging on his head, Li Chongyuan didn't seem to care at all.

There is a saying.

When a person's energy and all his thoughts are devoted to one thing, other things will basically be thrown aside.

Even the fact that Li Chongyuan wrote a secret letter and sent it to Chang'an, Li Chongyuan almost forgot.

It is said that the guard got Li Chongyuan's instruction and rushed to Chang'an all day and night. It can be said that Xiaoxing lived at night, and after avoiding several rounds of interrogation in the Lingnan sea area, he arrived at Xisha Island.

When the guards arrived at Xisha Island, they no longer went north by boat, but turned to the official road and rode their horses up.

He can be said to be a boat on the water, and a horse on the road.

The horses borrowed are naturally the horses of the post station, and other people's horses, you can't borrow them even if you want.

Finally rushed back to Chang'an City before August.

As soon as the guards arrived in Chang'an, their first priority was to return to their home and find the housekeeper.

When the steward learned of his intention to come back, he was a little puzzled and said, "Mr. Xiao Lang asked you to deliver a letter to Mr. Wang in the palace? Are you sure that's the case?"

The housekeeper's confusion can be understood.

He must serve as a small guard, and he is indeed not qualified to take the king's ceremony.

No matter what kind of person Wang Li is, how could a small guard next to Li Chongyuan say that he could see him if he wanted to.

Even if he is a housekeeper, he doesn't have that qualification.

"Mr. Xiao Lang sent me back because he asked me to hand over a letter to Mr. Wang." The guard replied with certainty.

The housekeeper was curious, "Leave the letter to me. If you have time, the old lady will deliver it."

"Housekeeper, I really can't give this letter to you. Mr. Xiao Lang confessed, the letter depends on the person, and the person destroys the letter, so it must not pass the eyes of the second person." The guard hurriedly said.

The guard's words made the butler even more curious and puzzled.

It's normal that I can't read the letter, even the old lady can't read it, which has to make the housekeeper suspect that there is something serious about the content of the letter written by Li Chongyuan.

The housekeeper beckoned, "Follow me to see the old lady and see what the old lady means."

After meeting the old lady and asking Li Chongyuan how he was, he became curious about the letter, "Yuan'er said that you are only allowed to hand over this letter to Manager Wang, even I can't read it?"

"Returning to the old lady, Mr. Xiao Lang explained this. This letter is not allowed to pass through the eyes of a second person, and it is only handed over to Manager Wang by the young man." The guard still insisted on replying.

The old lady sighed and said: "Forget it, it seems that Yuan'er may have some important matter to report to the Holy Majesty, so that's why. But, can you tell me, has there been any important matter happened to Yuan'er recently?"

"This." The guard didn't know how to reply.

Although Li Chongyuan didn't confess that he couldn't mention the Feng family's affairs to the old lady, but he knew that the Feng's family's affairs were a huge matter, and he absolutely must not speak of it to others.

But what kind of person is the old lady, if the old lady keeps the secret, it is really unreasonable.

but.

According to Li Chongyuan's instructions, he took the letter and rushed back to Chang'an. Li Chongyuan confessed that the content of the letter was not allowed to pass through the eyes of a second person. The letter is so important. He really didn't know how to reply to the old lady about the matter of the Feng family.

Seeing that the guards were in such a difficult situation, the old lady waved her hands and said: "Forget it, since Yuan'er is going to hide it from me, my aunt, it seems that this is a matter of government affairs, so I don't care about it."

"Housekeeper, take my greeting card and go to the gate of the palace to meet Director Wang." Although the old lady didn't know why Li Chongyuan did this, but it was related to political affairs, so she couldn't go any further.

If you don't read it, don't read it.

After dismissing the butler and the guards, the old lady wiped her tears secretly and said, "Yuan'er has grown up and started to avoid me as a mother. Sigh!!! I can't help my mother."

"Mother, maybe the fourth brother has some unavoidable difficulties. Besides, the fourth brother went to Lingnan to plant those potatoes, and he did so without telling the saint. The fourth brother didn't tell mother the specific reason, maybe he was afraid that you would worry about it." Lin Caishu comforted her.

After hearing this, the old lady felt a little better, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, "Yuan'er has been away from Beijing for several months, and Xiao Mu's body has become more and more inconvenient. Yuan'er is not in Beijing, I, as a mother, have to help him Take a good look at it. Caishu, you can help me clean up later, I have to live in Yuaner's house and take a look at it."

"Yes, mother." Lin Caishu replied.

The old lady originally lived in Li Chongyuan's Prince's Mansion when he left Beijing.

However, because Lin Caishu had passed the confinement period, and the family had something to deal with, the old lady returned to the family.

But now, Li Chongyuan has been away from Beijing for several months, and Ding Mu's belly is getting bigger and bigger. It is estimated that in three or four months, he will have to give birth.

at this time.

The housekeeper came to the gate of the palace with his guards, and took the old lady's greeting card, saying that he wanted to see Wang Li, the head of the palace.

According to the rules, no matter who it is, they will not say that they want to see a palace chief.

However, the old lady is an exception.

Soon after.

Wang Li, who got the news, was puzzled, and after asking Li Shimin for instructions, he came to the palace gate, "If Mrs. Xiangjun wants to enter the palace, you can directly submit the post to Neiyuan, without going through me."

"I've met Manager Wang. This time, it's not that my old lady wanted to see Manager Wang, but she brought a letter to Manager Wang under the orders of my young lord." The butler replied.

Seeing Wang Li, the guard took out the sealed letter from his pocket without saying a word, and handed it to Wang Li.

After Wang Li received a somewhat special letter, he was really curious, "Prince Li Jun wrote to me? Is this a mistake?"

The housekeeper looked at the guard, and the guard immediately replied: "Accepting my little lord's request, I have to hurry back and hand over this letter to Mr. Wang, who will present it to the sage on my lord's behalf."

"So it was presented to His Majesty, then I understand." After Wang Li heard the words, he saw that there were no words on the envelope, and listened to the eyes of the guards, knowing that the letter was really not for him.

After the housekeeper and the guard thanked them, they were about to leave, but Wang Li stopped them and asked, "I heard that your little lord is not in Xisha Island. I wonder where your little lord is now?"

"Well... after the Holy One reads the letter, he will naturally know where my little lord is." The butler replied.

Wang Li shook his head, "If that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions."

Wang Li said nothing, and the housekeeper and guard bowed and left.

Soon.

Wang Li took the letter and came to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Junwang Li who asked you to submit it to your Majesty."

"Xiao Gong is in the middle of the capital. If you have something to discuss in the palace, why do you need to write a letter?" Li Shimin said without raising his head.

Wang Li explained: "Returning to the Holy Lord is not a letter from the King of Hejian County, but a letter from the Minister of Justice, Li Chongyuan, and the King of Li County."

Only then did Li Shimin raise his head, and took the letter curiously.

After looking at it, it was really strange, "Huh? There is sealing wax and the seal of goodness on this top. This is a good idea. It can ensure the safety of the contents of the letter, and it can also let the recipient see it at a glance. Know if it has been disassembled. Okay, okay, this thing is useful, but I just don't know how to make it."

"Your Majesty, this sealing wax was made by King Li Jun. All you need is a word from His Majesty, and the slaves believe that King Li Jun will definitely present it." Wang Li said.

Li Shimin didn't say anything about the sealing wax, so he opened the letter and began to read it.

There were more than ten pages of paper in the letter. After reading the first few pages, Li Shimin said: "This bastard, he said he was going to the south, but he didn't expect to go to Zhenzhou in Lingnan. He also bought [-] mu of wasteland. He said he wanted to cultivate high-yielding land there. Liang Zhong, I really don’t know if he is deliberately avoiding idleness, or if he has a problem with me.”

In the first few pages, Li Chongyuan naturally had to explain his affairs in Zhenzhou clearly, lest Li Shimin blame him.

After Li Shimin babbled a few words, he continued to look down.

But when he saw what happened to the Feng family in Lingnan, he was immediately furious and slapped the table angrily, "Bold, how dare the Feng family do this!!!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was so angry, Wang Li, who was waiting at the side, was really curious about what happened to the Feng family in the letter.

But Wang Li didn't dare to ask, after all he was just a chief executive, not qualified to intervene in political affairs.

An angry Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to look down.

In the letter, Li Chongyuan truthfully described what the Feng family did in Lingnan and various other things.

Finally, Li Chongyuan also wrote his opinion on the handling of the Feng family.

After Li Shimin read the whole letter, the anger in his heart could be said to have reached the sky, and he slammed the table and shouted: "Feng family, what a Feng family!!! Feng An! You die when you die, but it is I didn't expect to leave such a big hidden danger for me. What a Feng family, what a Feng family!"

Li Shimin shouted at Feng's family angrily, Wang Li listened quietly.

After being angry, Li Shimin sat back in his chair, squinting his eyes and meditating.

Although he couldn't be sure whether what Li Chongyuan said was true or not, but he could guess a thing or two after thinking about the Feng family's decades in Lingnan.

After a long time, Li Shimin opened his eyes and pointed to the channel on the desk: "Wang Li, send another Baiqisi to investigate the place mentioned in the letter."

Wang Li was wondering why Li Shimin was so angry after reading the letter, so he immediately picked up the letter on the desk and looked at it.

When Wang Li read the contents of the letter, he knew the reason of Li Shimin's anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send additional Baiqisi secret guards to the place mentioned in the letter to investigate." Wang Li put the letter down without saying a word and turned away.

At this time, Li Shimin, whose anger subsided a little, summoned a servant and said, "Go and call the messenger into the palace, I have something to ask."

The servant didn't know, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to leave and trot to chase Wang Li.

The servant received Wang Li's words and went out of the palace to Li's family.

When the maid came to my house, she asked to see the old lady, but the old lady had already packed her things and went to Xisha County Prince's Mansion.

But the butler is here.

"The sage has a decree to call the guard who delivered the letter to the palace to meet the sage. I don't know who the guard is, please follow me to the palace to meet the sage."

After the housekeeper saw that someone from the palace said he wanted to see the guard who delivered the letter, he called the guard who was about to rest without saying a word.

Not long after, the guard was brought into the palace by the servants and stood nervously in front of Li Shimin.

Although there was anger in Li Shimin's heart, it has subsided during this period of time, and he has also listened to Li Chongyuan's letter, "How is your little man in Zhenzhou? How are the crops growing?" gone?"

"My lord, everything is fine with my little lord, and the crops I have cultivated have already been planted, and they are growing very well." The guard replied cautiously.
