Datang Longya

Chapter 944 Wang Xuance and Zheng Cheng
Lunch was eaten at Jingleisi, during the dinner, Leng Feng also saw Zhang Zhongqing's grown-up daughter - Zhang Yuan.

The wild girl who was fearless back then has become gentle and courteous, which is quite different from before.

However, judging from the mud on her shoes, it is estimated that her quietness is just an appearance.

Whether it's Leng Jing, Li Tai, Li Ke, or even Di Renjie, they don't seem to like women with a quiet personality, and they really hope to have a wife who will accompany him to go crazy.

This made Leng Feng think hard, what was the reason.

After returning from the Jinglei Division, at the court hall the next day, Leng Feng proposed to use some of the soldiers returned by the Tang army to exchange some cattle and sheep with the Turkic Western Regions to fill the animal husbandry in Xintu, North Jingbei Province.

At the same time, he also explained the reason for doing so.

In today's court, the civil servants will not hide their thoughts from the generals, and the generals will not hide their motives from the civil officials. Everything is discussed by the two parties together.Although there were times when they quarreled, there were never any real conflicts.

As for Li Chengqian, he gradually revealed his majesty as an emperor. Even some old officials dared to point out mistakes directly, without any regard for his face.

Such a clear court is more united and efficient than the previous court.

The cold winter is coming, and the 23rd year of Zhenguan ushered in the end on the snowy night of New Year's Eve.

Li Shimin, who was supposed to die in this year, survived, and the year of Zhenguan was also able to enter 24 years.

This year, although there was a drought, there was no turmoil. Although there were troops, the treasury was still full.Today, no one doubts the arrival of the prosperous age.Only in a prosperous age can this be achieved. The people live and work in peace and contentment without fear of famine, and the enemy country gnashes their teeth but dare not fight.

The first day of the new year is the day of New Year greetings.

What was different from the past was that early in the morning, there were crowds of visitors in front of the gate of Leng Mansion.These people are all low-level officials in the imperial court, juniors at the intersection, and most of them are graduates of the Academy of Arts.

Many of the first batch of graduates have made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields, and they are naturally grateful to Leng Feng.

With such status and prestige, Leng Feng had no choice but to meet them one by one.

Those who came to visit also knew Leng Feng's habits, and most of the gifts they brought were simple but thoughtful things.

The big businessman Ma Chuang put a box of tea on the table beside Leng Feng, and saluted with a smile: "Sir, after so many years, the students are happy to see you in good health. This is the tea grown in my own manor, and the students fried it with their own hands. , don't be disgusted."

Leng Feng was still very impressed with the students he personally taught: "Ma Chuang, this is the first time you have come to visit after graduation, tell me, why have you been here all these years? It's not like you just learned how to make tea. Bar."

Ma Chuang said with a wry smile: "Sir, you are right, the students really almost became tea fryers. After graduating that year, I took over my father's caravan. I wanted to do something drastic. I didn't expect to lose all the family's old background. Later, the students calmed down and accumulated the family business little by little. Now, in the land of Yuezhou, students still have some weight in the business world. At this point, Only students have the face to come and wish you New Year's greetings."

Leng Feng laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, you have a backbone, but coming to Mr. to pay New Year's greetings does not mean that you have to be successful. Even if you are an old farmer, Mr. will not despise you."

Not all the graduates of the Academy of Arts have become elites, and there are also some people who are full of ambitions, but they are out of the ordinary.What the Academy of Arts has learned can't help people soar to the sky, at most it can give them a cliff to spread their wings and soar.Those who learn the skills well and take advantage of the wind may be able to soar into the sky, but there is no shortage of those who fall off the cliff.

After the fall, if you accept your fate, you will have no chance to spread your wings, and if you sum up your experience, you may not be able to fly higher than those who took off earlier.Obviously, Ma Chuang is the latter.Yuezhou is now an important place for transportation, and Ma Chuang is by no means an ordinary success if he can achieve something there.

There were still many people waiting behind, so Ma Chuang didn't dare to delay, and walked out after saluting again.

Next came a few heirs of businessmen who took the opportunity to sneak in. Leng Feng just chatted briefly, didn't say anything to them, and didn't accept any gift from them.

After declining several important gifts one after another, a large piece of dried bacon was placed on the table beside Leng Feng.

Leng Feng stretched out his hand to touch the bacon, and smiled slightly at the giver: "Not bad, did you dry it yourself?"

Seeing that Duke Hu was so concerned about a piece of bacon, the people waiting behind were dizzy for a while.

The dark and thin Wang Xuance grinned and showed his white teeth: "Hehe, the students have been in the Western Regions for so long, and they haven't learned anything else well, but they have learned a lot about the bacon. If you don't have a banquet tonight, sir, you might as well stew it in a pot."

Leng Feng laughed out loud. Back then, Wang Xuance was transferred to Xintu in the Western Regions to appease the local residents. Now it seemed that he had succeeded and was transferred back.With two great contributions from the Grassland and the Western Regions, now that he enters the court, he will directly rank among the top.

Knocking on the bacon, Leng Feng asked: "The life in the Western Regions is not good, look at you, you are so stupid, you will soon catch up with Duke E."

Wang Xuance smiled wryly: "It's not just uncomfortable, it's torture. It's hard work, and one or two sentences are absolutely incomplete. I heard that graduates of the College of Arts now have to write papers, and students also want to try it. Write the experience into a thesis, and please write an inscription when the time comes."

An official who successfully appeased the Western Regions and roughly built a new line of defense, the paper he wrote on this topic is absolutely full of gold.

Leng Feng immediately agreed: "Go back and write. When the time comes, I will ask Duke Lai Guogong Liang Guogong to come out of the mountain and give you a correction and approval!"

Wang Xuance grinned, and then left unsteadily.

Not long after, after a piece of bacon, several salted fish were placed on the table.

The heirs of businessmen, when they come to visit, are afraid that the gift will not be important, while the graduates of the Academy of Arts are all afraid that their husband will not be able to use the next meal.

Zheng Cheng, who was no whiter than Wang Xuance, saluted Leng Feng and smiled happily.

During last year's severe drought, Dengzhou was not only self-sufficient, but also helped several nearby cities. In addition, the people of Dengzhou once again raised the Wanmin Book. Zheng Cheng came to the capital to accept the reward.

According to gossip, Li Shimin, who had not asked about the government for a long time, had the idea of ​​ennobling Zheng Cheng.This time, no one felt that the young man was unqualified.

When Leng Feng asked about Zheng Cheng's future plans, Zheng Cheng said with a smile: "Students are not planning to go to the capital to become officials. Although the people of Dengzhou have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, the state capital not far away has not improved much. .Students are ready to transfer, don't let all the saline land be relieved, never leave!"
