There is no free lunch in the world, if you want to harvest, you have to pay in the early stage, and the same applies to the emperor.

"Tsk, don't think you have enough money? Didn't I send you a few officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Just open your mouth to them. ”

After speaking, the emperor also got up, and the view here on the rostrum was only wide, but no specific sound could be heard. When Fang Xuanling smiled lewdly and took down the four talents he had selected a long time ago, the rest of the officials also blew up, and simply went directly to find the people they had selected.

They are all students of civilian families, and it is impossible to give them to high-ranking officials suddenly. The head of Zhongshu Province, from the eighth grade, seems to be a first-class official, but in fact, the real authority is similar to that of miscellaneous people, and he belongs to the errand runners who can command all parts of Zhongshu Province at will.

Sharpening their subordinates is something that any department has to do, so the official positions they promise are inconspicuous. Since the emperor had directly handed over the appointment of officials to the chief official, he had no intention of interjecting, but focused on watching the students' reactions.

However, for the children of civilian families, not to mention from the eighth grade, even from the ninth grade, that is also an official. They all understand the down-to-earth truth, so no one has any opinion on their position.

Yang Du left, so it was Fang Xiaoquan who recruited students on behalf of the college, and the old gentleman just sat there, and immediately many students surrounded him. From mud legs to scholars, they still can't change their fear of the court. Many people actually have the idea of entering the academy and becoming a casual official, just like glorifying their ancestors.

Just when others were running for their future and went to the bigwigs in the court to recommend themselves, Li Yifu shrank in the corner, holding an official document with his eyes in a daze.

Others were directly recruited by the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, but when they came to themselves, they were appointed by the ministry.

Zhuo County Magistrate, what is this? Lao Tzu took great pains to get the recommendation of Li Daliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and entered the college to study hard until now, and he got a county?

Li Yifu's hideous look was naturally seen by Li Chengqian.

"What's wrong? Not happy with your appointment? ”

Hearing the prince's voice, Li Yifu quickly put away his crying face, arched his hand and said, "How dare the student be dissatisfied? Can a cloth cloth directly become a magistrate? It's a lift. But Your Highness, don't care about the inside of the court for the time being? Even the steppes lack officials? Why did it become the county magistrate of the mainland when it came to the students? How many people did the students ask? It's only a student. ”

Isn't that nonsense? Li Chengqian smiled slightly, sitting on the chair? Say, "Know what you're thinking?" Do you think that your classmates will either serve as small officials in the six ministries of the three provinces, and if you don't talk about the Beijing officials, you still have a chance to be promoted? Or go to the steppe? can make meritorious contributions, but when you get to yourself, you will die of old age in the mountain village? ”

Li Yifu thought for a long time before he nodded stiffly, after the thoughts in his heart were exposed? Concealment is the stupidest thing, and it is better to admit it as soon as possible.

Stretched out his foot and kicked Li Yifu? Li Chengqian hated iron and said: "Do you know, this is the ministry to promote you." Can Jingguan really be promoted directly? But why don't you want to think about the difficulty of promotion? The grassland can indeed make great achievements, but why don't you want to think about how hard it is? What happened to Zhixian? This is a place that the officials have carefully selected for you. Zhuo County is located in Shuzhong? But poor? Just need a smart magistrate? to lead them to riches on their behalf. Besides, Zhuo County is not far from your hometown, and the matter of honoring your ancestors naturally has to be closer to home.

When others serve as Beijing officials, they all start from the eighth grade or even from the eighth grade, and when they come to you, they directly become the magistrate of the seventh grade, the gap between two or three levels, don't be ashamed. You must know that your paper is also on the top grade, if it weren't for the top grade, do you think you would be given a special case? ”

Li Yifu arched his hand in shame, took the documents of the ministry and left. The truth was like that, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Where is it?

After fooling Li Yifu, Li Chengqian saw Qiu Haiqing coming over under Li Daliang's entanglement. The Ministry of Industry didn't know that he had joined the East Palace system, so they were doing their best to persuade him to join the Ministry of Industry. There are only a few people with excellent ratings, and it would be a shameful thing for the Ministry of Industry to get one.

"Li Shangshu, don't say it, Qiu Haiqing is already a lonely talent, do you want to rob people from the East Palace?"

Seeing the prince, Li Daliang gave up and began to look for the next person in his picture. I didn't even have time to see how Li Yifu was doing.

Qiu Haiqing grinned and stood beside the prince, how to look at it and how to be beaten. However, his results were earned by himself, and it is impossible to exaggerate how to be embarrassed.

"Okay, it's going to be done in a while, I don't know if I'm disgusting like this? Feng Zhidai is going south tomorrow, originally I wanted you to go south together, but looking at your stinky virtue, I will give you another month of vacation and go back to your hometown to offer incense to your ancestors. After the holiday, go to Lingnan again. ”

After driving away Qiu Haiqing, looking at these students in the lobby, Li Chengqian couldn't help but want to collect a few. Talents are hard to find, you must know that the shopkeeper who can settle accounts is scarce, and it is a good arrangement to accept a few college disciples to manage the industry.

"Don't think about it, there are a lot of officials to be sent on the grassland, and Mr. Yang Du told me that you can't recruit too much, the court is not enough, so don't think crookedly."

The emperor didn't know when he appeared beside him, which startled Li Chengqian.

Yang Du, who had already packed up his appearance, followed the emperor and said with a smile: "This is only the first batch of graduates, soon, the second batch of graduates will also start the process of traveling thousands of miles, the old man is looking forward to the next batch of students, and they can be the same as these children now." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Yes, as long as the policy on the grassland is effective, there are still many positions on the vast grassland, and there are always old ministers of the former dynasty who resign or even die in office. ”

Glancing at the students in the lobby, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief.

In this critical period, there is a way to replace the nobles of the family and split the power of the court, how not to make him happy?

With his hands behind his back, the emperor, who could rest all day today, naturally did not want to go back early, but was going to walk around the academy.

Yaxing, who didn't bother the emperor, changed his clothes, and sent Zhang Yun back to the East Palace to wash the clothes, and Li Chengqian took a few guards to the farm.

Geng Buqu came with the news that he had already selected two hundred people.

Compared to the original scale, I don't know how much bigger the current farm is. The emergence of the farm completely occupied the meat market around Chang'an, and many butchers who couldn't do it were not unemployed, but were recruited by the farm to work, and the wages were more lucrative than what they did.

Now there are no old palace maids and eunuchs among the people who work, and a village not far from the farm is inhabited by these people, and with the help of the farm, they can wait for the end of their lives without worry.

Liao Zhong was still the steward of the farm, and when he saw that the prince was overjoyed, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare meals.

After walking into the farm and taking everyone away, Li Chengqian saw Geng Buqu and the two hundred people of the secret guard.

Two hundred death squads.

"Your Highness, these two hundred people are willing to drive for Your Highness, and the old slave promised them that when they come back this time, they will be free."

Class society is like this, and many times freedom needs to be exchanged for life.

Walking in front of these two hundred people, Li Chengqian coughed before saying: "Lone gives you one last chance, if you don't want to go, Lone doesn't force it, you can stand up, Lone promises that no one will say anything about you." ”

After waiting for a long time, no one came forward.

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's okay, it shows that your minds are still very firm." Your journey, wind, frost, rain and snow are all small things, the most afraid is to encounter wild beasts or even with the savages in a short handover, you have such a firm belief, lonely for you to get there, and a little more confidence. However, Lone wants to tell you well, Lone has only read the description in the ancient books of the Hu people, and he is not sure whether the thing he is looking for exists, so the possibility of you hitting the air is also very high.

However, whether it succeeds or not, loneliness is owed to you. As long as you can come back, it's a great achievement. Let's put it this way, if you don't find it and come back, Lone will still set you free, but if you succeed, Lone promises that each of you will get at least 10,000 rewards! ”

The previous words did not cause the slightest repercussions, but the reward of "10,000 times" suddenly made the breathing in the field heavy. No one can ignore 10,000 guan, not even the emperor. You must know that among the businessmen, those with assets of more than 10,000 yuan are all at the level of bigwigs.

A scar-faced man at the head arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely do our best to complete the task, but I don't know what you asked me to look for?" ”

"Everything you're looking for, whether it's a pattern or a description, is here. Not only do you have to find some of them, but you also need the right means of transportation so that they don't die, and you even have to plant them once before you cross the sea, and you can only bring them back when you harvest them..."

took out the strategy he had prepared a long time ago, and Li Chengqian handed it into Scarface's hands.

Scarface was not confused by the fact that he and others were working desperately just for a few seeds, but carefully memorized it under Geng Buqu's explanation.

After Scarface and the others remembered it thoroughly, Li Chengqian said, "When the equipment prepared by Gu for you is delivered, you can set off." Starting now, it is estimated that in the cold winter, you can only reach this place called the Bering Strait, I don't know how difficult this road is, I can only wish all of you a safe return! ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned around and left.

Geng Buqu was so shrewd, and followed behind and said: "Your Highness, the reward you have set for them is enough, and this is also what they are willing to accept, you don't need to be careless." ”

Li Chengqian took a breath of talk and said: "Maybe Lone really doesn't have the mentality to do big things, but if they can succeed, the reward of 10,000 yuan is really shivering." You go back and inform the remaining members of the secret guard, and start making preparations, it is estimated that it will not be long before there should be people who can call the shots in Wuzhong Huiji to come to Chang'an, and the bank should also be built. ”

After eating a meal at the farm, Li Chengqian got into the carriage and returned to the East Palace.

Lying in the carriage of the carriage, there was a sense of powerlessness, as if it had penetrated from the bones and spread to the whole body.

That's how things are done, it's just fantasy, as if everything is as simple as picking your teeth, but when you really do it, you will find that reality is full of all kinds of obstacles. In order to accomplish something, the effort required is related to the tediousness of the work. People who only see the results of others, but ignore the process of others' efforts, are the most hateful.

The title of "Genius Prince" is difficult enough to bear!

staggered, and unconsciously entered Chang'an City.

I was about to get up and look at the scenery outside to change my mood, but the carriage stopped.

After a while, Dafu's face appeared in the carriage: "Your Highness, the princess said that the mother is going out of the palace and going to the academy to see Your Majesty, Miss Su was recruited into the palace by the queen mother today and wants to stay for one night..."

"Got it, I'll go back."

Considering that he is not a nymphomaniac easily, Li Chengqian sensed that something was wrong in this matter.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to hide what he did last time from the emperor's father, why did he have another opportunity today? The little woman who has not left the cabinet can stay overnight so easily? Although Su Yuan is beautiful and has a quiet personality, she will not let the queen and the old lady love it so much.

At this time, Li Chengqian felt like a black cat that smelled fishy, and he obviously saw the cat trap wrapped in fish meat, but he still couldn't help but try and test again and again, and finally his whole body got into it.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry, but sent people from the Alliance of the Inferior to spy on the situation.

There is no doubt that the queen did leave the palace and was going to spend the night with the emperor in the academy palace, and Su Yuan was indeed left in the palace and is now there in Changle. It's just that the harem is the emperor's father's territory, although he is a son, but the female creatures in the harem except for the old lady can't be contaminated a little. It's impossible to want to go over, so I can only pray that Changle has a way to bring her over.

Seeing the prince's doubts, Fang Sheng leaned over and said, "If Your Highness wants to, the old slave can find a few people and find a way to do this." ”

Feeling the firmness in Fang Sheng's words, Li Chengqian shook his head again and again and said, "Come on, it's not cost-effective to take a few lives for a trivial matter, just wait, Changle should have a way." ”

After persuading Fang Sheng to retreat, Li Chengqian lay on the table, feeling that time was passing so slowly for the first time.

The League of the Inferior is a hidden force that cannot be used until the moment of real crisis. To say that the emperor did not know about the existence of this organization, Li Chengqian did not believe it. Perhaps, the reason why the emperor did not wield the butcher's knife was that the original intention of this organization was just to let the old palace maids and old eunuchs who left the palace live a little better, and they did not do anything out of the ordinary. If they dare to cross the line, or even just touch the edge of the taboo, they will definitely be severely hit.

Night has fallen, it's time for dinner, Li Chengqian didn't have a little thought, the simple dining table was placed in the study, the fragrance was very fragrant, but....

Just when Li Chengqian was about to give up and ordered the guards at the front door to close the palace gate, Zhang Yun ran in, hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, Princess Changle sent me a gift, saying that she was afraid of the cold and needed to be sent directly to your study." ”

"What? Bring it here. ”

After a while, the four palace maids carried a large box into the study. Changle's personal palace maid Xiaoyun pointed to the box and said, "Your Highness, the princess said that this gift can only be lent to you for one night, and it will be returned to her early tomorrow morning." The slave maid and others will live in the East Palace tonight, and they hope that His Royal Highness will give permission. ”

"Yes, go down. Fang Sheng, arrange a place for them to live and treat them well. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian took out a gold bar from the cabinet and threw it to Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun was happy to squat again and again: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”

After driving everyone away, Li Chengqian walked to the box.

It's a big box, and it takes four palace maids to carry it, which means that the things inside are still quite valuable.

Seeing the hole with the thickness of a finger on the box, Li Chengqian suddenly smiled, it was really precious!

Knocking on the box, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

No response? Don't suffocate.

Li Chengqian hurriedly opened the box, but after seeing the scene inside, he suddenly laughed until his stomach hurt.

His guess was still correct, the one curled up with the quilt inside was really Su Yuan. It's just that this girl is breathing for a long time now, and she is obviously asleep.

I can fall asleep here, Li Chengqian really doesn't know what to say.

With the experience of Lao Junguan, Li Chengqian could only stretch out his hand and pat her face, and his head didn't dare to lean over at all.

After two pats, Su Yuan opened her eyes, looked at the surrounding environment in confusion, and when she saw Li Chengqian, she immediately blushed, and pulled the quilt and covered her face.

"Okay, okay, didn't you just fall asleep, I went to visit Zhang Liang's house before, and I fell asleep as soon as I went out, and I ended up at Zhang's house, lying in the carriage and sleeping for a morning."

Hearing the prince say this, Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the box.

"Namiko Nagaru told me to hide in the box and play a game, and I guessed it would be like this. Although the queen and emperor are not here, isn't it too dangerous for us to do this? ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "It's quite dangerous, but in my opinion, the queen mother should have done it on purpose, even if she finds out, it's a big deal for me to bear it." ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pulled Su Yuan to stand up.

Carefully climbed out of the box, looked around again, and when she saw the vanilla, Su Yuan suddenly became happy, and walked to the desk to see how the vanilla grew.

"Well, I'm raising it well."

"Well, it's good, even better than what I raised. The note last time was written by Changle for me to write this, don't get me wrong. ”

"How stupid I am if I can't tell whose tone it is, just guess what it's all about."
