The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 673 Father and Son
"You're still unreasonable..." Although Li Hanlin agreed with his words, he refused to admit it to death, and couldn't help but curse a few words.

God knows that this son has become Li Hanlin's pride, but he just can't tell.

To this son, he loves and hates at the same time, it hurts to the bone, but also hates to the heart, it's really sour.

"What I said is true..." Li Chenyu said with a smile, "So you see that I have become the Minister of the Household Department, but you are still an Imperial Academy. Does that explain a truth..."

Li Hanlin vomited blood angrily, and said with a sullen face: "...you still look down on your father. Your father is an upright Jinshi, the top three, No. 3 Tanhualang, even you, a rebellious son, can compare. How many catties of literature and ink do you have in your belly?! Don’t be ashamed to panic..."

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you this..." Li Chenyu smiled and said, "Look at you, you will get anxious when I say it, I'm just presenting the facts and being reasonable, don't rush to scold me Ah. No matter whether they are the number one scholar in this class or the third prize, I will be the chief examiner. No matter how much they despise me in their hearts, I will also be their teacher. This is the fact. Dad, the times are different. You can't just stay on top of other officials in these official circles and not make progress, or you will be eliminated sooner or later..."

Li Hanlin was startled, didn't speak, but frowned tightly.He has always been more cautious, and he never does things out of line, has no major mistakes, and has no great achievements, so he has always been safe and secure, and he is doing Hanlin.I thought this would be enough, but I didn't expect that Li Hanlin felt a little bit uncomfortable after being pointed out by his son today...

"Father, do you still remember your dream when you were young? At that time, your dream was not as simple as being a scholar in the Imperial Academy?!" Li Chenyu said in a low voice: "...Dad, you are too well-behaved to be an official , is too cautious, when Emperor Sheng, this is right, it is a way to protect yourself, but now, a generation of emperors and courtiers, if you are not good, you will be replaced by a newcomer sooner or later, even if it is the position of the Imperial Academy... What's the use of staying in this position until you die?! There are so many latecomers, are you willing that your descendants, your descendants, and even the official position will surpass you, but you don't even have a name in the history books? No?! Are you willing?!"

"Look, so what about the beauty? What about the reputation? You take it too seriously, but I take it too lightly, because now what everyone jokes about is just a rumor, and the only thing that really sees the truth is the iron pen history book..." Li Chenyu laughed He said: "...the people who are talking happily now, how many people can really leave their names in the history books?!"

Li Hanlin felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this, and said: "...you are preaching me?! Hmph, you can take it easy."

"I'm just persuading you. If you are more open-minded, my life will be easier, otherwise I will be scolded by you every day, and I will not dare to go home..." Li Chenyu said with a smile: "Father, you have to think about it." Don't stick to the scenery of Tanhualang in the past every day, there are a few champions in history who can be named, and history books have never compared with these, what is compared is merit..."

Li Hanlin was taken aback.Looking at Li Chenyu, he secretly thought that although his son was crazy and acted indiscriminately, he was the one who really saw through.

His own father is really not as good as his son.Li Hanlin felt sour and sweet for a moment.It's very complicated.

"Don't stick to the glory of the past, because it's just a temporary reputation..." Li Chenyu continued to walk, had already left the palace gate, came to the market, and said with a smile: "...Father, you also It's time to see, the times are different, and I'm not a scholar, what reputation do I want?! But I'm still the Minister of the Household Department, as long as I think, I can go further. The one who really achieved this position?! Dad, look at you, back then Tanhualang was a hero, but are you really willing to die of old age in the Imperial Academy?!"

Li Hanlin didn't speak, but he remembered the bold words and lofty ambitions of his youth.It's just that after many years of being an official in the Shengdi Dynasty, all his ambitions were suppressed, and he was only willing to be a small Hanlin...

Thinking about it now, how could he really be willing to do this? !

"I'm not a scholar, I'm not a scholar, I'm even illiterate, and I can still be an official. My father is a beautiful man, but up to now, it's just a post in the Imperial Academy. In this court, there is something like my father. Location?! Dad, can you figure it out?!" Li Chenyu said: "Look at this street, how many people are there, who will soon be white and enter the Academy of Engineering, Dad, don't stick to it anymore, As long as you have a good skill, as long as you can help Dayu to improve, it doesn't matter what your background is, and your mind should not be rigid. Over the years, I am also afraid that I will not communicate well with you, and I will argue with you..."

Li Hanlin didn't speak, and Li Chenyu even led the horse to detour for him. He passed the bustling market and watched the people's livelihood.

Li Hanlin was speechless after watching.

"Father, how long has it been since you have been so close to these common people?!" Li Chenyu said: "...Since you entered the court as an official, how many years have you not paid attention to people's livelihood?! These common people, they think What, what are you doing, dad, do you know?!"

Li Hanlin couldn't speak, and looked at the market in a daze.Seeing his son like this again, his mood was extremely complicated for a while.

Li Chenyu didn't look back, and greeted people he knew on the street.There were even a few people who gave the wrapped things to Li Chenyu, but Li Chenyu didn't look at it, and gave the other party money, and the other party took it as usual and ran away.

Li Hanlin was a little puzzled, and said: "...What is this?! You bought it..."

"Of course I bought it, or did I snatch it?!" Li Chenyu said with a smile: "It's a little seafood, that is, kelp or something like that. It's rare in coastal areas. It's not very unusual there, but The journey is far away, and the cost of transporting it is too high, and here, such a small package of this thing has to be sold for two taels of silver per package."

"Do you buy it often?!" Li Hanlin wondered.

"That's right..." Li Chenyu sighed, and said: "...after the road is built, I think the people in the north will be able to eat this rare seafood, and the cost will be reduced by then, for sure. Cheaper, I even told Sisi that if the express delivery industry develops in all directions, people's lives will be greatly reduced, not only these, but even the price of salt..."

"Salt price?!" Li Hanlin said: "How is it possible? This is one of the taxes, the foundation of the country, how can the price be reduced..."

"Father, you are Hanlin, and I am the Secretary of the Household Department. If I can do it, I will definitely be able to..." Li Chenyu said lightly, but Li Hanlin could still hear the strong confidence in his tone.

He watched his son greet people, and peddlers kept leaving things for him. He bought them one by one and gave them to the people behind him. There were even many people who knew Li Chenyu. The third son, or Li Shangshu.

so friendly...

Li Hanlin was shocked, and said: "...you come every day?!"

"Come here when you are free. I often buy things. They all know me. They will leave me a copy of any rare seafood..." Li Chenyu smiled very naturally.

"You..." Li Hanlin was speechless, he seemed to see another side of his son, and said, "...you really think so much..."

"What's so much?! About salt?! About building roads?!" Li Chenyu chuckled and said, "Maybe I'm not as rich as my father in reading poetry and books for many years, but I know more about people's livelihood than my father, and I think more about it than my father." Daddy Shen, this is probably where I am better than my father and many officials. The emperor is also born in a noble family, but he was born in a commoner family. He cares and pays more attention to these things. Both the emperor and I want the people to live a good life. That's all..."

Li Hanlin didn't speak, but stared at Li Chenyu blankly, as if meeting his son for the first time.

The common people have always been in awe of officials, but these peddlers have no regard for Li Chenyu, just like ordinary guests.Li Chenyu was crowded in the busy city, but she didn't feel tired or dirty. Instead, she asked about the price and the market price.He will compare again and again, and even haggle over the price. When he sees something rare coming, he will stop his horse, reach out to have a look, smell it, and buy it again.

Li Hanlin, who had never seen this side of his son, was also a little shocked, and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, he said: "...I am not as many as the third son."

He sighed faintly, it turned out that he was the one who was confused.Like many officials in the officialdom, he has always been puzzled, how can a person like the third son be an official? !Although he doubted it in his heart, he still maintained his son very much.But he didn't hide his doubts.

Now he finally understands, maybe he has never seen clearly, the true nature of his son's madness.

Really famous, really romantic.He really cares about the people, the people's livelihood, and has no distance from the people.

Even Li Hanlin now understands, truly understands the value of the third son.

He sighed, and simply got off the horse, walked to Li Chenyu, and squatted down, not caring about soiling his expensive clothes, and looked at the goods one by one.

The boss smiled and said: "Master Li San, this is Li Hanlin, right?! Is Master Li's father?!"

Li Chenyu was taken aback by Li Hanlin, and then smiled again, saying: "...Yes, it's my father. My father is still young and handsome, right?!"

The boss laughed loudly and said, "Yes, Mr. Li is very similar to Li Hanlin. Only a father can have a son, and his son is like his father. He is very handsome, haha..."

Li Chenyu also laughed, her peach blossom eyes were very attractive.

Li Hanlin shook his beard, smiled too, and said, "...this kid. He's talking so much..."

With this sound, Li Hanlin also integrated into his son's world, and for the first time began to face up to his son's true mentality and life.
