Datang Nongwang

Chapter 900 The dog only needs to be able to bark
Just such a thing, if you have no ability, no background, and no drive to risk your life, you can't do it.

Counting the personnel situation of each prefecture, who can do it now?

Even if the emperor personally ordered it, he might not be able to make accurate statistics.

after all.

The situation of the people in each government is complicated.

In addition, besides the fixed ones, there are also flowing ones, and even more concealed ones.

It's okay to say that they are fixed, they eat the food of the imperial court, and it is also recorded in the Ministry of Officials and Sinong Temple.

But this floating and concealed thing is the biggest trouble. It is also Li Chongyuan who is going to use the name of the Judiciary Temple to find out the specific situation of all the officials and nobles in Chang'an.

This fire, said to be the third fire, is actually just an appetizer.

Li Chongyuan's ultimate goal is a census.

Isn't the population census a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs?How did it become Li Chongyuan's business?
of course.

Things like the census are indeed not Li Chongyuan's business, nor is it the Judicial Temple's business.

But Li Chongyuan could use excuses to direct the direction of this matter, and he also wanted to use this method to check the people who checked the Fang family and the people from the four great families.

The Lu family can produce [-] dead men, Li Chongyuan can imagine, other families, gentry, rich, don't they have dead men?
If Li Chongyuan can use this third fire to initiate a census.

At that time, the population situation of the entire Tang Dynasty will be under the control of Li Chongyuan.

If there is another incident of assassinating himself, Li Chongyuan can know who the assassin is based on the information from the census.

of course.

If you are a black household, then Li Chongyuan has nothing to do.

But the words came back again.

Li Chongyuan dared to play like this, but he actually had a plan in his heart.

The population census is just a means, and the final result is the promotion of one person, one identity card.

Heihu, if you want to walk elsewhere, there is no door.

This is the biggest idea in Li Chongyuan's mind, and it is also the thing he most wants to accomplish.

Because of this matter, Li Chongyuan can use the census information and identity information to prepare for his high-yield grain promotion.

Who is who, as long as you come to buy Li Chongyuan's grain seeds, it will be clear at a glance.

Li Chongyuan's thinking like this is actually just his own idea.

At that time, even if there is a census, even if one person has one certificate.

If people really wanted to get Li Chongyuan's grain, wouldn't they spend a lot of money to buy it from the common people?
Wouldn't it be possible to obtain high-yield grain seeds from Li Chongyuan in other ways?

Hey.

If you think about it this way, it's bad.

What is Li Chongyuan now?He is the minister of justice.

What is the Judicial Temple?That was the yamen that drafted the future laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chongyuan had already drawn up the laws concerning the food safety of the Tang Dynasty and the protection of food for the people.

It's just that the clauses of the law have been kept in the study of the mansion and have not been presented to Li Shimin.

In addition to the law on food safety, Li Chongyuan even wrote the patent law.

The high-yield grain belongs to Li Chongyuan.

If you get high-yield grain seeds from others, then Li Chongyuan can lead people to arrest them, no matter what excuses you have.

There is a saying that if you violate the patent law, you will have to sue.

How did high-yielding grains become patented?

You have it, but everyone else doesn't. This is Li Chongyuan's patent.

want to?Simple, pay a big price to buy it, then you have the right to use it.

and so.

Li Chongyuan was also forced to do this because of the assassins.

Even, he did not hesitate to leverage the entire Datang with his own strength.

This time.

Li Chongyuan ignored Li Shimin's self-examination and self-examination order, and came to the Judiciary Temple, preparing to burn a few fires, hoping to use his own strength to seek blessings for the farmers and common people in the world, and also to seek peace of mind for himself.

Zhong Gui took the list that Li Chongyuan gave him, and was stunned, stupid, and terrified. He really didn't know why Li Chongyuan did this.

Asking the nobles and officials of Chang'an City to go to Judicial Temple to explain the situation of the people in the house is tantamount to offending all the nobles and officials in Chang'an City.

Zhong Gui didn't dare to think about it.

He knew that if this matter was really done, he could imagine what would happen to him.

Either he will be taken out of Chang'an City by a group of court officials, and he will be sent to a small place to be a small official, and then he will die forever.

Don't do it.

He, Zhong Gui, could also think of the consequences.

I was afraid that I would be marginalized by Li Chongyuan, and then I might be taken out of Chang'an City by Li Chongyuan, and I would be a petty official somewhere, and live my whole life.

after all.

He already knew what Li Chongyuan was going to do next was written on the list.

Whether you do it or not, the result is the same.

This made Zhong Gui really not know what to do next.

Although Zhong Gui didn't know what to do with himself, he knew that Zuo Shaoqing and Qian Le were afraid that Li Chongyuan would get him out of the capital in the future.

Even if he can't get the capital, he may become a marginalized person in the Judicial Temple in the future, what's more, he will be scolded and reprimanded by Li Chongyuan every day.

What's more, maybe even a beating.

It's not like they don't know what Li Chongyuan has done.

Don't talk about beatings, even people dare to abolish the court, Zhong Gui can imagine that if Qian Le wants to do a good job in Judicial Temple, he has to be like a dog, listen to him Li Chongyuan, unless Qian Le is tough , playing continuously.

And if he doesn't act according to Li Chongyuan's words, he will be like Qian Le in the future.

When Zhong Gui told Qian Le to file a complaint, he had already foreseen the end in his heart, which was useless.

Zhong Gui is smart and has no background.

Although the tasks Li Chongyuan entrusted to him were difficult to do, but thinking that the consequences would be the same, why not give it a try.

If you work hard, maybe you can climb up.

Even if you can't fight well, the end will be the same, so why not do it the last time.

After Zhong Gui thought about it for a long time, he finally had a plan in his mind, "My lord, the officials are willing to accept all the things on the list. However, the officials are stupid, and I am afraid that the things on the list in the court will be unreasonable." I don't know. Therefore, I hope that it will be better if Sir Siqing is present to help me a little bit."

Li Chongyuan was a little surprised when he heard that Zhong Guijiran had really accepted the job.

In Li Chongyuan's thoughts.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to accept this job.

Because, as long as he accepts this job, he will offend the entire court, even the royal family.

After being offended like this, who would dare to take on this job?Unless he is a fool, or he is like Li Chongyuan, who wants to leverage the current status quo of the official standard thinking.

Li Chongyuan didn't believe that Zhong Gui was a fool.

But at the same time, he didn't believe that Zhong Gui, like himself, was a person who was dedicated to the people.

Li Chongyuan looked at Zhong Gui, and felt that Zhong Gui was the kind of person who wanted to use himself to make a fortune.

"Zhong Shaoqing, you have to think about it. This matter is not something you can refuse after you accept it. Once you accept this matter, you will have no way out." Li Chongyuan was not afraid that Zhong Gui was a gambler, so he decided Afraid that Zhong Gui would refuse, and then honestly stay in Judiciary Temple.

Get Zhong Gui away?

Li Chongyuan thought about it, but he knew that it was easy to get rid of it, but Li Shimin's face was a bit unjustifiable.

Moreover.

After getting away, is there no Shaoqing in Judicial Temple?It is definitely impossible, Li Shimin will definitely send him a young minister for Li Chongyuan.

Zhong Gui nodded heavily and said: "If you go back to Sir Siqing, since the lower official chooses to take over this job, then the lower official will know the consequences of this matter. Besides, the lower official feels that Sir Siqing is doing something wrong." This is a major event that benefits the people and the world. If this matter can be achieved, the lower official may also be famous in history. As for the future, it is already rare for the lower official to be able to be the young minister of the Judiciary Temple. I don’t even have that qualification.”

What Zhong Gui said was the truth, but he still kept it a secret.

Li Chongyuan couldn't hear it, but he admired Zhong Gui's daring to try his luck.

"Well, since you accept it, I will go to court with you three days later, and you will announce the things on the list at court. If I need to speak, I will take the initiative to stand up. But I have to say In the front, if you retreat halfway, then don’t blame me, Li Chongyuan! Cui Tong and Xu Jingzong may be your role models.” Li Chongyuan nodded, but left a warning.

He wanted to do the things on the list by himself.

But with such a pawn, it would be a pity if he didn't use it.

But once he used it, Zhong Gui would be his own.

Even if Zhong Gui belongs to Li Shimin, Li Chongyuan is not afraid of him talking too much and revealing something.

Moreover, the few things on the list are not things that need to be kept secret. After a few days, they basically need to be announced to the public.

Zhong Gui nodded solemnly, as if he had made a big decision.

That's it.

Li Chongyuan also began to look squarely at Zhong Guilai, "Zhong Shaoqing, since the matter has come to this, then we have to talk about how to proceed in the court meeting in three days' time. Let's go to the yamen room, let's discuss together."

"But according to the order of Sir Siqing." Zhong Gui bowed his hands respectfully like a younger brother.

The two went to the Yafang.

Tang Li followed closely behind and released the yamen together with the two.

But Liu Xiang and the others were rectifying the miscellaneous servants in the Judiciary Temple, instructing them to do this and that, all with the demeanor of a servant.

As a seventh-rank guard, of course he has this qualification.

Moreover.

In the current Judiciary Temple, apart from Li Chongyuan's people, there are only two Shaoqings, two Zhong Gui's followers, and these handymen.

No one arranges the work, so what kind of chaos may become.

More than half an hour later.

At the end of Li Chongyuan's collegial meeting with Zhong Gui, Qian Le, who entered the palace to sue, returned to Judicial Temple.

When Li Chongyuan saw that Qian Le, who was originally furious, entered the palace to file a complaint, but now he was holding his head. After seeing Li Chongyuan, his momentum seemed to have disappeared instantly, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan Qian Le, I have seen Sir Siqing .”

"Hey, Mr. Zuo Shaoqing Qian Le of our Judiciary Temple, didn't you go to sue me? Just now, he looked so arrogant, why did his face change so quickly after suing? Didn't His Majesty What decree do you want me to announce? Or what kind of oral order?" Li Chongyuan saw Qian Le coming back, and his face was really fast, so fast that Li Chongyuan still hadn't gotten used to it.

Qian Le lowered his head and arched his hands, "The lower official has no eyes, so he contradicted Sir Si Qing, and asked Sir Si Qing to have a lot of money and not to care about the lower official."

"Arguing? What are you arguing about? You are just Zuo Shaoqing of my Judiciary Temple, and you are not a big man, so what can I have arguing with you. However, you go to the palace to sue me about Li Chongyuan, this matter cannot be finished, Qian Shaoqing, Are you right?" Li Chongyuan laughed jokingly.

When Qian Le entered the palace to sue Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan already knew the result.

At the beginning, Li Shimin said that the establishment of Judicial Temple, except for the two Shaoqing, the rest were all chosen by Li Chongyuan himself.

But Li Chongyuan hadn't taken office yet, so the money was arranged one step ahead of Li Chongyuan.

As for how Qian Le managed to let Li Shimin's tune pass through Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chongyuan didn't know, but he could guess something.

Li Shimin did this on purpose.

When Qian Le heard that his lawsuit against Li Chongyuan was endless, he suddenly felt a little bad.

Although he was angry in his heart, he also wanted to point at Li Chongyuan's nose and yell at him like before.

But when he thought of what Li Shimin said in the palace, he immediately shrunk again, "If Sir Siqing allows them to enter the temple, how about I leave the officials alone to Siqing?"

Li Chongyuan laughed again after hearing his words.

It is impossible to want the officials who have been expelled to return to the temple.

"I have to think about this matter carefully. Zhong Shaoqing, you have a lot of things on hand recently, why don't you let this matter out and leave it to Qian Shaoqing." Li Chongyuan looked at Zhong Gui.

Zhong Gui was a little confused, but when he saw Tang Li, the guard behind Li Chongyuan, pointing at the handyman who was sweeping not far away, he immediately understood.

Although Zhong Gui understood, he was a little embarrassed, "Since Siqing has spoken, the next official will do it. Qian Shaoqing, I have a time-consuming matter on hand, so I need to ask Qian Shaoqing to help me deal with it." I don't know if Qian Shaoqing is willing to deal with it?"

"Master Siqing has sent a message, please let Zhong Shaoqing leave the matter to me." Seeing that Li Chongyuan said that he would think about it carefully, how could he not agree.

Zhong Gui glanced at Li Chongyuan and said: "Our Judicial Temple is currently understaffed, and there is no one to deal with the sanitation of this Judicial Temple, so please ask Qian Shaoqing to take over."

When Qian Le heard this, anger filled his eyes, he looked at Zhong Gui, and then at Li Chongyuan.

But Li Chongyuan looked at him playfully, the smile on his face made him feel the anger in his chest, and he couldn't hide it anymore, "You!!! You!!!"

"Why? Don't you want to? If you don't want to, then you are ignoring the wishes of the minister of this temple. According to the current laws of my Tang Dynasty, against the wishes of the Shangguan, the minister of this temple can go to the emperor, let the emperor take your official position, and change someone who is obedient Your Shaoqing is here." Li Chongyuan said with a smile.

Although Qian Le was angry, Li Chongyuan's words made him fall into an ice cellar again, and finally he had no choice but to nod, "Yes, I am willing to go!"

Seeing his gritted teeth response, Li Chongyuan laughed again: "In the Judiciary Temple, he is either a farmer and common people with the same heart as me, Li Chongyuan, or a dog guarding the gate, as long as he can bark. Be a human or a dog. , it depends on your choice."
