Datang Nongwang

Chapter 763

Si Nongqing, the minister of Si Nong Temple.

Isn't this the minister of Si Nong Temple, the number one boss of Si Nong Temple?

Uncommon, very unusual.

Li Chongyuan hadn't reacted until now, immersed in the fact that he was appointed as Secretary of the Sinong Temple, he really couldn't understand why Li Shimin suddenly gave him such an official position.

I think Li Chongyuan himself has always been a farmer, even though he has a capital order on his head.

But Li Chongyuan knew that the all water order on his head was nothing more than a vain job.

An empty job, but he never took care of things, and Li Shimin didn't let him take care of things.

But now.

Such a high official position as Si Nong Siqing was conferred on his head Li Chongyuan, how could Li Chongyuan think, how could he figure out how Li Shimin would give himself such a sudden.

What the imperial decree said was to let Li Chongyuan cultivate the seeds of food well, but he didn't say much about anything else.

But cultivating food seeds is not enough to make Li Chongyuan the post of Secretary of the Sinong Temple.

This position is one of the nine ministers.

Even if there is no so-called Sangong Jiuqing at the moment, the position of Secretary of Sinong Temple is actually a minister, starting from a third-rank official.

Further up, there are the servants of the third grade, or Zhongshuling, and Liubu Shangshu.

There is only one step away from the post of prime minister.

But Li Chongyuan looked at the imperial decree, which was affixed with the big seals of each province and department. It can be seen that this imperial edict has passed through three provinces and six ministries.

Li Chongyuan was thinking at the moment, thinking that the people in the three provinces and six ministries would be fair and no one would stop them?
Li Chongyuan was a little confused, and also a little confused.

It is estimated that whoever puts it on will be confused and unable to understand.

Li Chongyuan, who didn't know why, got up, looked up at Wang Li, with puzzled eyes, "Boss Wang, is this a mistake?"

"Li Junwang, don't you want to be this official? You know, Si Nong Siqing is one of the three lords and nine ministers. There is no official in the world who doesn't want to be this official." Wang Li looked at the puzzled Li Chongyuan and said .

Li Chongyuan still didn't understand, so, "Boss Wang, please talk inside. Come here, and quickly serve Boss Wang good tea."

Wang Li was invited into the front hall, and the good tea was served.

Li Chongyuan sat down with too many questions.

Wang Li took a sip of tea, waiting for Li Chongyuan's question.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chongyuan asked aloud, "Director Wang, the Holy Majesty appointed me the post of Secretary of the Sinonong Temple, is it because of the high-yielding grain I brought back from the Eastern Continent? But I haven't fully cultivated it yet. , does the sage think that I can cultivate it?"

"That's right. The Holy Majesty said that you, Li Chongyuan, will never fail to do what you want to do. Therefore, the Holy Majesty consulted with the prime ministers and ministers for several days. After eliminating the objections of the ministers, he tried his best I respect you as Secretary of the Sinong Temple." Wang Li explained.

After Li Chongyuan heard this, he suddenly didn't know how to respond, "This is making things difficult for the Holy One. As a subject, I really can't do well."

"In fact, when you donated the map and grain seeds, the Holy Majesty has already decided to hand over the Si Nong Temple to you. However, the Holy Majesty wanted to make the court officials think that you are the most suitable for my Tang Dynasty." The candidate for the Secretary of the Sinong Temple has been discussed with the ministers for several days. Otherwise, as early as a few days ago, this imperial decree has already been in your hands." Wang Li continued.

Li Chongyuan was curious, "Presumably, the Holy Majesty tried his best to reject the opinions of the ministers and insisted on appointing me as the Secretary of the Sinong Temple. It must have been difficult. Thinking of me, Li Chongyuan, how can He De be the Secretary of the Sinong Temple?" job."

"You don't need to do this, Junwang Li. With your ability, Junwang Li, you can get high-yield grain seeds back, and it's just a matter of time to cultivate them. Besides, the Holy One didn't ask Li Junwang to cultivate them within a year. , and even the Holy Majesty said that as long as King Li can cultivate high-yielding grain seeds within five years, let alone a minister of Si Nong, no one in the world would dare to object even if you let King Li shoot as a servant." Li smiled.

Wang Li was very fond of Li Chongyuan.

Although Li Chongyuan is only a relative of the Li clan.

And he is young, but he never procrastinates when he does things, and he will do what he says.

Even, in Wang Li's eyes, Li Chongyuan is a very pragmatic person, who only cares for the peasants and people in the world, and never considers himself.

Li Chongyuan smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to reply.

Li Chongyuan never thought that he would be awarded such a high official position by bringing back high-yielding grain seeds.

In fact, what Li Chongyuan thought about the most was to increase his title by half a rank and make him a heir king.

As for this official position, given my age, who would give such a high official position to a little guy who has just been crowned for several years.

From the third rank of Si Nong Siqing, this is not an official position that can be taken casually.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan didn't know what to say, Wang Li smiled again and said, "Your Majesty Li, I want you to spend a huge amount of money to build a paddle steamer. You worked tirelessly and went to the unknown Eastern Continent tens of thousands of miles away to find High grain yield. Based on this alone, no one in this world can beat you, Junwang Li."

"Where is it, Manager Wang has won the award." Li Chongyuan hurriedly cupped his hands.

Wang Li continued: "The Holy Majesty once told me that Li Chongyuan had a bad character in the past. He once disregarded the face of the Li family's family and made a bold statement that he would leave the capital to become a farmer. He lost the face of the Li family. The Holy Majesty never thought that Li Jun Wang can go this far."

"The Holy Majesty also said that although you, Li Chongyuan, are not good at being an official, as long as you put your heart into being an official, you will be able to do some things, and these things will definitely benefit the people."

"."

In terms of Wang etiquette.

Li Chongyuan blushed a little.

Li Chongyuan never thought that Li Shimin would praise himself as if he was the only one in the world, which made Li Chongyuan blush and embarrassed when he heard it.

This is not talking about myself, this is talking about a saint.

Li Chongyuan himself knows himself best.

Although the things you do on the surface are noble, who has no selfishness.

But because of Li Chongyuan's selfishness, he has achieved many things to a level that no one can surpass, and even reached an unprecedented level.

It's like repairing ocean water.

Based on this one incident alone, there will be no one before or after.

Who would spend such a huge amount of money to do something that is not good for themselves and is just to gain a small reputation?

He, Li Chongyuan, is not the emperor, nor is his money brought by strong winds.

There is really no one who can do this.

of course.

If it is pushed forward, such as the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it will be incomparable.

But just counting back, there is really no one who has achieved what Li Chongyuan did.

To say that Li Chongyuan is sublime, that Li Chongyuan is great, and how Li Chongyuan gave up his huge wealth to benefit the people of a state has never happened before.

Look at the court officials today.

Who doesn't buy a lot of land or property after they have money, so that they can leave it to their descendants.

Only Li Chongyuan did such a stupid thing.

once.

Just because Li Chongyuan did such a stupid thing, the court officials even said behind his back that Li Chongyuan was a big fool.

It is precisely because of these that Li Chongyuan gained the trust of Li Shimin and was able to get to where he is today.

He has served as the governor of Yangzhou and the order of Dushui.

Even though Li Chongyuan didn't know whether he would be exempted from his job in Suzhou because of his promotion, Li Chongyuan had been a lot of officials anyway.

Li Chongyuan, who was blushing and embarrassed, really didn't know how to respond to Wang Li's words, so he cupped his hands in embarrassment, "Boss Wang, I just did some trivial things, which are not worth mentioning. It’s not worth it, and it’s even more unworthy of His Majesty’s praise.”

"Prince Li Jun, the Holy Majesty appointed you the post of Minister of Sinonong Temple. It is also some selfishness of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty asked me to tell you that although you, Li Chongyuan, were appointed Secretary of Sinonong Temple, you still have to focus on cultivating high-yielding grain seeds. Well, let's try to hand over the affairs of Sinong Temple to the two young ministers." Wang Li got up and said.

Seeing Wang Li getting up, Li Chongyuan knew that he was going back to the palace to restore the order, so he also got up, "It's natural. I'm not familiar with the Si Nong Temple. After I took office, I don’t think I have much time to deal with the affairs of Sinong Temple. But I really want to ask Director Wang a question or two, and I don’t know if Director Wang can explain it for me.”

"Excuse me, Prince Li." Wang Li nodded.

Li Chongyuan cupped his hands and said, "Is the former Secretary of Agriculture E Guogong transferred or not?"

"I'm afraid Li Junwang doesn't know that in February, Duke E resigned due to illness and went home to take care of the elderly. At that time, the position of Minister of Agriculture had been vacant for more than half a year. However, the Holy Majesty did not approve the appointment of Duke E. Please, leave the Duke of Hubei in Chang'an, and go to the palace to pay homage every moon day." Wang Li replied.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan suddenly understood.

Chi Jingde, Duke of E State, resigned due to illness and went back to his hometown for retirement, but he was not allowed by Li Shimin, so he was left in Chang'an for retirement.

It is estimated that Li Shimin thought that Yuchi Jingde's illness was not a serious illness, so he did not let him go back to his hometown.

Li Chongyuan felt relieved when he heard this answer.

At least, since he was conferred the post of Minister of Agriculture, it's not as good as taking away someone else's post, so as not to get into trouble.

After sending Wang Li out of the mansion, Li Chongyuan thought of something again, "Director Wang, since the Holy Majesty conferred on me the post of Minister of Agriculture, what about the post of Suzhou Specialist and the post of Shipbuilding Ambassador?"

Wang Li smiled and replied two words before getting into the carriage, "Wait."

Li Chongyuan looked at the leaving carriage and felt emotional in his heart.

After returning to the mansion, Li Chongyuan went to see Li Yuan and told Li Yuan what happened just now.

"Yuan'er, my uncle said long ago that you are my Dasinong in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, that Nizi did the right thing. Otherwise, Uncle would have to enter the palace once so that that Nizi can give me a big reward." Si Nong can't do it." Li Yuan was very relieved after hearing this.

Li Chongyuan had some small thoughts at the moment, "Uncle, you see, I am Secretary of Agriculture now, and I have to participate in court meetings every day from now on, so I don't have more time to cultivate seeds."

"You, you. The edict says so clearly, don't you understand?" Li Yuan shook his head, really didn't want to talk to Li Chongyuan, and left.

Li Chongyuan picked up the imperial decree and read it again.

"The imperial decree didn't say anything." Li Chongyuan didn't understand.

Tang Li on the side was the first to speak, "Little Lang, the imperial decree said that in the future, Xiao Lang will focus on cultivating grain. discussed."

"So simple?" Li Chongyuan looked at the imperial decree, still a little bit drumming.

To participate in this court meeting, or not to participate?Li Chongyuan didn't know what to do.

At the very least, I will definitely have to participate in the court meeting tomorrow, and I will do my best that I have just been appointed, if I don't participate, I will probably be sprayed to death.

that day.

Li Chongyuan went back to his home and told the old lady about his appointment as an official.

When the old lady looked at the imperial decree, the tears flowed as if she didn't want money.

Under the consolation of Li Chongyuan and everyone, this made the old lady shed tears that don't need money.

Although the tears flowed, the old lady said, "From all the members of my Li family, it was only your father who achieved the position of the third rank. It has been more than ten years, and until now, only Yuan'er has achieved the position of the third rank. This is a major event for my Li family. Ji’er, hurry up and prepare the incense table, and go to your father’s spirit tablet to make offerings. I want to inform your father that my Li family will be revived.”

Li Gui, who was the governor of Yizhou before his death, was appointed as a regular servant of Sanqi.

A governor of Shangzhou happened to be from Sanpin.

And the position of the regular servant of the Sanqi is also from the third rank.

As for Li Gui's position as Dr. Zuo Guanglu, although his rank was high, he was only a literary official with no real power.

But Li Chongyuan was different this time.

The real deal is from the third rank and the real power of Sinong Siqing, from the third rank.

In the past, it was the position of the three lords and nine ministers, with a high position and authority.

The next morning.

Li Chongyuan put on the official uniform of a civil servant of the third grade and went to court.

When Li Chongyuan was wearing this official uniform and was waiting in front of the palace gate, all eyes were cast on Li Chongyuan.

Quite a few people were curious why Li Chongyuan was suddenly wearing a purple official uniform above rank three after returning to court for half a month.

Some people even thought that Li Chongyuan, the county king, came to court in a fake official uniform for the sake of his title, thinking that there would be a lot of fun watching it.

of course.

There are also people who are talking about it at the moment.

"Then what's the matter with Li Chongyuan? What qualifications does he have to wear the official uniform of a third-rank official?"

"I'm afraid he stole it from somewhere."

"Isn't he Li Chongyuan from Suzhou? Even if he is an envoy to various countries, he is not qualified to wear the official uniform of a third-rank official. After a while, I will sue Li Chongyuan."

"I'm going to sue him too."

"."

There are too many people talking about it, and there are more people who want to sue Li Chongyuan.

Most of the civilian officials who don't know the details want to sue him, and some military officials want to sue him.

However, Li Chongyuan ignored these voices and let them do whatever they wanted.

now.

Li Chongyuan was thinking that after entering the court for a while, he wanted to take a good look at the faces of these people turning into liver-colored.

Don't look at Si Nong Siqing as a minister of real power, no matter what.

It's like the salaries of these officials in the capital are distributed by the Taicang Department of the Secretary of Agriculture.

If these officials dare to attack Li Chongyuan in court, Li Chongyuan will not tell you any rules.

Li Chongyuan can not be deducted, but it is not impossible to get stuck and procrastinate.

In the previous life, isn't that what those government departments were like, using a single word to delay some things for several years.

It may not be possible to delay it for a few years, but it is still possible to delay it for half a year.

Even though Li Shimin had given him the imperial decree that he would devote all his energy to cultivating grain seeds and handing over the affairs of Sinong Temple to the two young ministers, Li Chongyuan was also the Secretary of Sinong Temple anyway.
