Xia Yu nodded: "It is impossible to get the support of the Wang family with just a miraculous scene." What the family wants most is practical benefits. ”

"So, the nephew has already figured out a way?"

Xia Yu nodded: "I have a way, but I also have a request." ”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, Xia Yu was obviously trying to blackmail him.

Quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Li Yuanhao smiled and said, "What does the nephew want, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"Li Shimin and I have a very close relationship, and I have the courage to make a request for him, asking to lead an army alone and establish a military government."

"I'm okay with this."

Outsiders will gossip that the Li family has split up, but in the long run, Li Yuan also takes into account that the contradiction between the two sons and the third son is becoming more and more obvious.

Xia Yu's request was just a trivial matter.

In the end, there is something awkward in his heart, he is an old fox and is played by a little fox.

Since Li Yuan agreed, Xia Yu didn't hide it: "I wonder if Uncle Li Shi has seen another jade pendant on Wang Ling's waist?" ”

"I didn't notice."

"I noticed that the words 'Doctor Guanglu' were written on it in seal script. When he dismounted, in order not to touch this jade pendant, he deliberately held it in his hand and got off the horse with one hand. ”

This means that the people of the Wang family attach great importance to that jade pendant, and the position of Guanglu Doctor is an official position in the Han Dynasty.

What does it mean? Be vividly portrayed.

Li Yuan said: "The Wang family is a family handed down from the Han Dynasty, with a history of hundreds of years. If we could do something great to them, things would be much easier. ”

Xia Yu nodded, and Li Yuan finally got to the key point.

"Virtuous nephew, I'll leave this matter to you, right?"

"No!"

"Shangyuan Festival is the birthday of the old lady of the Wang family, Zhao, and the virtuous nephew took this official seal and sent it as a congratulatory gift."

Li Yuan unfolded a yellow cloth bag, and inside was an official seal.

There is a lifelike red glass crouching on the official seal, and the seal is engraved with four seals: the national seal of the upper pillar.

Shangzhu State was an official position established by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and a total of eight titles were sealed, one of which was Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu.

Sending this official seal over means that Li Yuan promised to give the Wang family a heavy official in the future.

The moment he saw this official seal, another important thought arose in Xia Yu's heart.

When he raised his head again, Xia Yu's eyes sparkled: "Uncle Li Shi, I have a bold idea, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

"Nephew, please speak."

"At present, what our army is most in short need is food and grass. After we unify Xihe County, we will not be able to bring practical benefits to the people, but we can do things to quench the thirst of Wangmei and promise them official positions. ”

"What Xian Xian said...... There is some truth, this matter is one or three thousand benefits! ”

At that moment, he discussed with Xia Yu again how to seal the official.

All those over the age of 70 are classified as loose officials, and the so-called loose officials are those who have official positions and no official positions.

What are the benefits of dispersion? In fact, there is no substantial benefit, that is, you don't have to kneel when you see officials coming, and you have more face.

As for the first-class people, the officials are selected according to their talents.

Focus on taking care of some local rich people, who are businessmen with low social status, and if they are promised an official position, they will not be willing to use their family belongings to support Li Jiajun.

After discussing the matter of sealing the official, Xia Yusheng emphasized one point: "Uncle Li Shi, if you personally go to appoint the official position, it will look solemn, and they will not think that it is a matter of fooling them. ”

Li Yuan slapped his thigh: "The virtuous nephew is extremely right!" ”

There were still a few days left before the Shangyuan Festival, and Xia Yu followed Li Yuan's family to the county government of Jinyucheng the next day.

I heard that the officials were going to be sealed, and some people had long been gathered at the gate of the county government, and they were congested, which can really be described as a sea of people.

Li Yuan had no choice but to let the three tables of the guards be placed in the compound.

Li Shimin is in charge of the elderly from the age of 70 onwards.

Li Yuan is in charge of the young man.

The Li Yuanba brothers were in charge of the landlords and merchants.

Xia Yu is responsible for maintaining order with the guards.

From morning to afternoon, the Li family wrote white slips with soreness in their wrists.

Until sunset, the courtyard was still crowded with people, and the enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high, and no one suspected that Li Yuan was just playing white.

Who doesn't want to be an official, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the official is the first in line.

In the evening, it was handed over to Tang Jianyi for statistics, and a total of more than 1,000 officials were sealed.

What is this concept, on average, three officials will be closed every minute, a real assembly line operation.

However, the benefits brought to Li Yuan by the official seal are also huge.

When the landlords thought that they had become officials, Li Yuan should be most thanked.

So, at night, the gate of the guard's mansion was almost broken, and those landlords took out their silver taels to meet Xie En.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan was so shocked that he almost fell off his seat.

200,000 taels, a full 200,000 taels of silver!

When she was happy, Liu Wenjing hurriedly walked in: "Gong Li, what's the matter with you?" After sealing so many officials in one day, can there be so many official positions for them in the future? ”

Li Yuan smiled and asked rhetorically: "Brother, if we have no money and no food, what else can we do except to grant official positions privately?" ”

Liu Wenjing thought about it, and said with a thumbs up: "This white wolf with empty gloves is playing beautifully." ”

Shangyuan Festival.

Hexi County, Wang's family.

On this day, the Wang family was very lively, and an endless stream of carriages stopped at the gate of the palace.

Even the people on horseback are dressed in great luxury, with golden whips and jade kicks.

Today is the birthday of Zhao Ning, the old lady of the Wang family.

Early in the morning, the housekeeper received people who came to congratulate at the door.

Walking into the courtyard of the Wang family, they saw that the Wang family was full of lights.

At this time, there are several pots of flowers blooming in the courtyard, which is even more surprising to them.

Wang Ling noticed that the guests were all looking at the flowers in the courtyard, and he was very proud, the flower seeds given by Li Yuan were really extraordinary, and they all bloomed on the Shangyuan Festival.

He craned his neck to look outside, guessing that for such a big event as his grandmother's birthday, Li Yuan would inevitably send someone to congratulate him.

"Tang Guogong Li Yuan sent an envoy Xia Yu to visit." The butler sang loudly.

In the courtyard of the Wang family, all the people gathered looked at Xia Yu, some surprised, some angry, and some strange...... The expressions are different.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu arrived, Wang Ling personally walked down the steps and took Xia Yu's hand: "Brother Xia, I didn't expect you to come." ”

Xia Yu said loudly: "I heard that the eldest prince of the Wang family is 80 years old, and Tang Guogong sent me here because he was busy with official business. ”

"It's good, it's good." Wang Ling said: "Hurry up and ask the flower hall to speak." ”

As the future helmsman of the Wang family, Wang Ling can intersect with Xia Yu and invite him to the flower hall to narrate, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to Xia Yu.
