Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 88 Lin Siming's Promotion
The child was named Li Rui by his grandfather Lin Siming. According to Lin Siming, this child should have belonged to their Lin family. Now that the surname cannot be Lin, he must be named.

Isn't it just a name, Li Fei doesn't care, Li Rui is Li Rui, isn't Xiao Ruirui not unpleasant.

The child did the third bath, and the entire Duke Wu's mansion was filled with joy because of the child's arrival. The eldest grandson Lanxin came to recuperate Lin Shiyue and the child from time to time.Although with Li Fei around, she doesn't need to worry about these at all, but she wants to do her best and get along with Lin Shiyue better in the future.

In a corner of the Duke's Mansion, eight blacksmiths are smelting pig iron according to Li Fei's requirements, and making the shape of a plow through a model.

"My son-in-law, is the plow produced like this really as good as you said?" Lin Siming frowned, no matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary iron plow.

It is no wonder that Lin Siming questioned, since China has been farming for thousands of years, wooden plows, bronze plows, and iron plows have all been tried.Needless to say, the bronze plow is too hard and too expensive.Some people tried the iron plow in the Han Dynasty, but the effect was not good and the cost was high. It was not as cost-effective as a better wooden plow, so the ordinary iron plow had been eliminated as early as the Han Dynasty.

"Father-in-law will find a piece of land and try it himself, so you will know?" Li Fei is very confident. This is a modern agricultural tool, and it is much better than Datang's wooden plow no matter what.

The pig iron plow was made in the morning, and in the afternoon, Lin Siming took half a day off at the Ministry of Household Affairs and went with Li Fei to try the plow outside the city.

Although pig iron is brittle and cannot be forged, it is needless to say that it is hard. Even a stone in the plow cannot hurt it in the slightest. The speed of plowing land is three or four times that of a wooden plow.The wooden plow is not only easy to break, but also not deep enough, and it often needs to be plowed two or three times.However, the pig iron plow can plow deep enough at one time, and the speed is increased, and the cattle are not so tired.

Lin Siming tried it for a while, and then asked someone to plow it non-stop all afternoon. He still chose wasteland with many rocks, but the plowshare was completely fine.

"It really is a good plow, a hundred times better than ordinary wooden plows!" Lin Siming said in shock. There is no doubt that this credit is no worse than wearing a cow's nose.

Lin Siming no longer knew what to say to Li Fei. Whether it was the credit for piercing a cow's nose or a pig iron plow, it was all given to him by Li Fei for nothing.

It is said that to find a door-to-door son-in-law is to find a man who is incompetent and has no background to control, but he just found someone like Li Fei. There are a lot of weird things, and none of them is simple. Such a door-to-door son-in-law is their Lin family. Affordable.

Time is fate, Li Fei can achieve today's status, and the woman Lin Shiyue is worthy of marrying him. As long as Li Fei keeps his promise and is willing to let one of He Yueyue's sons be named Lin in the future, and continue the incense of the Lin family, he will be content, even if Li Fei lets him go He can go under the flames without blinking his eyes.

"Father-in-law, after you go back, you will write a memorial about the pig iron plow and present it to His Majesty. With this credit, you will be promoted soon, and even leave the household department." Li Fei said with a smile.

Wang Ji wanted to deal with him, but it would be impossible to find a reason to bring him down for a while, so he first made things difficult for Lin Siming, his father-in-law, to vent his anger. Lin Siming would be framed by Wang Ji sooner or later in the household department.

Relying on the credit of the pig iron plow, if Lin Siming can leave the household department, he will no longer be under Wang Jia's jurisdiction, at least he can get rid of Wang Jia's troubles.

Lin Siming was very excited. These days, he faced Wang Yu's difficulties every day, and he was always worried that one day Wang Yu would find out his fault and be dismissed from office by his superiors, or even worse persecution. It was really uncomfortable.It's all right now, as long as he can leave the household department, no matter how powerful Wang Chi is, he can't do anything to him.

-----
When Lin Siming went back, he wrote the memorial overnight, and submitted it the next day.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was tired of the government, so he handed over all the government affairs to Li Linfu to deal with it first, and then handed over to Tang Xuanzong to handle the real major issues.So Lin Siming's memorial came to Li Linfu first.

"Lin Siming? Li Fei's father-in-law." Li Linfu smiled. The matter in the memorial was considered a major event. Since it was Li Fei's father-in-law, he didn't want to make it difficult for him to present it to His Majesty.

Li Linfu has a strong desire for power. Although Wang Hao was single-handedly promoted and is his confidant, Wang Hao has already sat at the position of Minister of the Household Department, and if he is promoted, he will be the current prime minister. It is impossible for Wang Hao to get involved, Wang Hao and Li Fei are fighting, he is very happy to see that he will not help either party.

Not being embarrassed by Li Linfu, Li Siming's memorial was successfully delivered to Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong was very curious about the pig iron plow. If it really had the efficiency mentioned in the memorial, it would indeed be a great contribution to benefit the country and the people.As the emperor, he was not worried that someone would fool him.

Tang Xuanzong summoned Lin Siming, after some discussion and understanding, after learning that he already had a finished pig iron plow, he ordered people from the Ministry of Industry to do the inspection with Lin Siming.

Lin Siming had already inspected the pig iron plow with Li Fei, and the people from the Ministry of Industry came to inspect it again, and the results were naturally gratifying.

Tang Xuanzong learned that the pig iron plow really had the efficiency mentioned in Lin Siming's memorial, so he immediately promoted Lin Siming to two ranks, and was transferred to the Ministry of Industry. , to benefit the common people.I believe that when the pig iron plow is really promoted to all states and counties, Lin Siming can be promoted one or two more levels.

In the household department, Wang Hao saw that Lin Siming was suddenly promoted two grades and transferred from the household department to the engineering department. His face was very gloomy, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

He had already slowly caught one of Lin Siming's mistakes, and Lin Siming would be dismissed from office after only two days. Lin Siming is Li Fei's father-in-law. Pay some interest, and now Wang Hao has gone to the Ministry of Industry and is not under his jurisdiction.It is impossible for him to do anything to Lin Siming with the original mistake.

"Li Fei, no matter what, I will make you pay the price!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth with a grim expression on his face.

Next, Wang Hao kept telling the officials he had recruited to grab Li Fei's pigtails. Even if he couldn't bring Li Fei down all at once, Wang Hao didn't want Li Fei to have a good time.

What is accumulating too much money, cheating and playing tricks in the position of Yuan Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department, only in the Criminal Department for a while in the morning every day, and don't know where to go in the afternoon, it doesn't matter if you have a sense of responsibility as an official.

The first point is that there is no direct evidence that Li Fei is raking in money unless he searches Li Fei's home.But the second point is that Li Fei cheated and played tricks in the post of member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Wai Lang, which Li Fei could not deny.

So Li Fei was reprimanded by Tang Xuanzong because of this, but Li Fei almost went to the palace every day to accompany Concubine Yang, and Tang Xuanzong also saw it, so he didn't really blame Li Fei. Rebuking Li Fei is also for civil and military officials to see, and they cannot set a bad example.

However, because of this, Li Fei can no longer steal and play tricks, at least he should be honest for a while, after all, he must give Tang Xuanzong a little face, right?

It's not a big deal to sit in the criminal department for two more hours every day.On the contrary, that old bastard Wang Ji didn't guard against Yang Guozhong, but spent so much energy on dealing with him every day. Didn't it just give Yang Guozhong a chance?
