The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 701
"What's wrong with me, I've told you so much, why can't you understand!" Li Muyun's patience was exhausted at last, he jumped up and shouted: "I'm not afraid to tell you this old thing today, fish must be raised , raised in the paddy fields, and the fee is paid by the county, you old guy has to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don’t agree."

Tang county magistrate stubbornly thought that Li Muyun was talking nonsense, so he stood up sharply and said tit for tat: "My lord, you are so determined to go your own way, old man, this old man wants to sue you before the imperial court!"

"Will I be afraid?" Li Muyun yelled, poking his neck, this was the first time he had encountered a strong order, and Lao Tang, a guy who didn't like oil and salt, really made him helpless.

But having said that, if Li Muyun didn't want to vigorously promote rice paddy and fish farming in the entire Gyeonggi region, there is absolutely no need to come to Tang County Magistrate this time. With a lot of money in his hand, he just needs to give it away, and many people will rush to it. It is only in this way that the real meaning of fish farming in rice fields will be lost.

……

In the palace, His Majesty Li Er was reading with relish the manuscript of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", enjoying the rare peace.

Ever since Li Muyun told some jokes in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" during the Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty Li Er felt that although they did not match the real history, some of the strategies were very good, so after the Shangyuan Festival, he simply let them Li Muyun copied the so-called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and used it to pass the time when he was free.

However, the leisure time is always so short. When Li Shimin saw the burning of Bowangpo and felt a little emotional, the eunuch Laolong interrupted his thoughts: "Your Majesty, Wannian County Magistrate is asking to see you."

"Wannian county magistrate?" Li Shimin didn't take his eyes off the book, and asked lightly, "What's the matter with him?"

"It seems to impeach King Xiaoyao for his disorderly life." The eunuch Lao Long replied with some uncertainty.

"What? That kid again?" Li Shimin originally wanted to dismiss County Magistrate Tang casually, but he suddenly changed his mind after hearing what Lao Long said, put down the manuscript in his hand and said, "Let's pass it on, I want to have a look." , What trouble did this righteous brother cause me again?"

"No!" The old dragon agreed, and winked at a young eunuch at the door, and the young eunuch ran out soon. After all, the county magistrate Tang's status in the court is really low, and it is not worth the old dragon to show up in person.

It wasn't long before the county magistrate Tang arrived at Li Er's study under the guidance of the young eunuch. After meeting with him, he did not wait for the emperor to open his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to complain."

"Hehe, I already know that you are here to sue." Li Shimin looked at the righteous magistrate Tang, smiled and pointed to a chair not far away for him to sit down, and said to him at the same time: "But you are sure you can Can you win the lawsuit?"

County Magistrate Tang looked desperate, glanced at the chair and did not go to sit down. Anyway, he poked his neck and said, "Your Majesty, I have already put life and death aside, and I only hope that Your Majesty can uphold justice for the people of Wannian County."

Although Li Er already knew that the county magistrate of Tang was here to sue Li Muyun, he never thought that he would commit such a serious crime. Who were you instructed by?"

"Your Majesty, minister, I guarantee by my personality that I was definitely not instructed by others this time. It is really that King Xiaoyao is too arrogant. He even asked the minister to order fish farming in the whole county, and, moreover, fish farming in the rice fields. Your Majesty, we We all know that fish cannot live without water, how can the little water in the rice fields support fish, this, this is not random life or anything.”

"Hiss..." Li Shimin took a deep breath and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Even if he is well-informed, this is the first time he has heard of fish farming in rice fields. If it wasn't for Li Muyun who often did some unexpected things and finally succeeded, he would definitely have the same idea as Magistrate Tang.

But even so, Li Shimin was still a little unsure that fish could really be raised in the rice fields, after all, the water was too shallow, and it seemed that it was not suitable for fish to live in it.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally decided to trust Li Muyun once. After all, judging from his past experience, this guy seldom makes mistakes. More importantly, if he really succeeds, it will be a good thing for the people of Datang. It can also be used as non-staple food, even if the people don't eat it themselves, they can still sell it for money.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Great Emperor cleared his throat and said, "Wannian County, have you verified this matter? Are you sure that fish cannot be raised in rice fields?"

"This, this is not true." Old Tang paused, and immediately argued again: "But Your Majesty, almost all of us know that fish can only live in rivers..."

"Wannian County, without verification, how can you be sure that it is not feasible? Fish do live in the river, but who can be sure that it cannot live in the rice fields?"

At this moment, County Magistrate Tang had nothing to say, and a burst of sadness welled up in his heart. It seemed that Li Muyun was really strong enough to back him. Pity me, a small fifth-rank county magistrate, couldn't beat him at all. Instead of continuing to be an official in Wannian County It's better to tell the old man and return home directly.

The disappointed Magistrate Tang finally decided to retire early. After a brief silence, he bowed deeply to Li Er: "Your Majesty, I am old and frail, and I beg you to retire."

"Wannian County, get up, I will not agree to your request." Li Shimin glanced at County Magistrate Tang calmly, and a word knocked his heart into the abyss again, but when he was extremely disappointed, , but Li Er said again: "I think you can go back and find a piece of official land to try this matter. If you really can't raise fish, I will deal with Li Muyun according to your wishes, how about it?"

It has to be said that County Magistrate Tang was a little surprised to get such a guarantee from Li Er, he suddenly raised his head from the ground and asked, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"No joke!" Li Er said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going back to test now." County magistrate Tang got up from the ground three or two times, patted his chest and assured him: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely prove that fish cannot be raised in rice fields."

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, looked at County Magistrate Tang with some pity and said, "Wannian County, don't blame me for not reminding me, if Li Muyun is not sure, he will never say such a suggestion, so, Wannian In the future, if you prove that fish farming in rice fields is feasible, the crime of false accusation is not something you can afford."

County magistrate Tang was very sure that his thoughts were correct. Even though Li Er had already reminded him, he still said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if the rice fields can really raise fish, I am willing to be punished."
