Li Dahe was in the main hall, only sat for a while, and then returned to his study. gave birth to such a good son, Li Dahe was satisfied, and he didn't ask about everything at home, leaving everything to the eldest son.

Li Zhongyi is already one of the eight phases of the Great Zhou, a very popular minister, and the important task of glorifying the lintel has actually been completed.

One step further? Li Dahe, a pseudo-scholar doctor who advocates Confucianism, really didn't dare to think about it over there, what he was thinking about now was how to use the power of his eldest son to make the men of the entire family enter the official career.

In a patriarchal society, a person is good, but not really good. The reason why the real big family is evergreen is that it depends on the relatives who pull each other forward, and the younger generations who are officials emerge in endlessly.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, if these words are broken, the implication is that in fact, only to be an official!

The salt merchants of the Great Zhou Kingdom are indeed extremely magnificent, spending money like earth, and they seem to be extremely beautiful. It's just that once there is a stir, the billions of wealth will be ruined by the officials in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhongyi's fifth cousin is a stark example, his own son was arrested by Chai Yuniang for a reason, no matter how much money you pay, it will not be used.

Mrs. Xue grabbed Li Zhongyi, who wanted to slip away, and asked him with a smile: "When I slipped around today, I happened to see the princess of the Chai family entering the mansion, and you ...... it" The meaning is still unfinished, but the gossip is obvious.

Li Zhongyi is not good to tell the truth now, but if the slightest wind does not leak, in the future, there will be big problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mother and son have no overnight feud, no matter how loud the quarrel is, there will be no knots. The daughter-in-law who marries into the door is different.

Since ancient times, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It is destined to be a sworn enemy. Marrying a daughter-in-law and selling a child is by no means a lieu talk from mothers-in-law.

"Auntie. As the prime minister of the Great Zhou, if he marries the daughter of Situ of the enemy country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public in the future. Li Zhongyi didn't say it explicitly, he was thinking about it, and wanted to soak Chai Yuniang in his hands and marry him obediently.

Mrs. Xue used to be just a humble concubine, and she hadn't seen much of the world, so her horizons were naturally not broad.

However, for more than five years. With the rapid improvement of Li Zhongyi's status, Mrs. Xue has changed from a concubine to an old lady in the main room.

Mrs. Xue looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, what kind of character is the meat that fell from her stomach, can she not know?

"All I think about is holding a few more grandchildren and granddaughters. Especially the grandson, I don't bother to care about other things. "Mrs. Xue has been a little angry recently, and she took a sip of chrysanthemum tea that lowered the fire. Slowly, he said, "It's just that you have a marriage contract." If there is a change, you are there. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense. ”

Ahem, this is his own mother! Moment of truth. My mother only asks about her position, and her clear attitude, whether it is right or wrong, makes Li Zhongyi feel warm.

"The two countries are exchanging arms, and it is impossible to ease up in the future, and the marriage between the important ministers of the two countries who are hostile to each other, alas, this kills himself and causes trouble for himself." Li Zhongyi's big reason is actually to let Mrs. Xue blow the pillow wind to Li Dahe.

"I know all your thoughts." After all, Mrs. Xue is a mother who loves her son very much, and her position has long been crooked.

Li Zhongyi actually didn't expect that his mother would be able to convince Li Dahe at once, and now, the matter between him and Chai Yuniang has not been skimmed yet, but it is just a preventive shot in advance.

'Da Lang, the family is all supported by you, I won't say anything else, I only recognize the housekeeper lady of the bottle. Mrs. Xue also has some ideas, and in front of her son, there is nothing to say.

As long as Tang Shuyi has been in charge of the family, Mrs. Xue, the old lady, is the real living ancestor.

To put it bluntly, Tang Shuyi was obedient to Mrs. Xue, lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and the relationship between the mother and son was very deep.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, everything depends on your wishes, and the child is everything." ”

No matter how shrewd Mrs. Xue is, she is just a woman who has lived in the house for a long time. The woman in this backyard is difficult to get out of the door, and it is difficult to get out of the second door, and if she doesn't find something to do, she will really be idle and moldy.

Tang Shuyi's housekeeper has never made a big mistake for so many years, not to mention Mrs. Xue's strong support, Li Zhongyi is also trustworthy.

Mrs. Xue smiled with satisfaction, Li Zhongyi was also very satisfied, Tang Shuyi, who was not at the scene, was as stable as Mount Tai, she must also be satisfied, a proper win-win situation!

Li Zhongyi came out of the main room, returned to Shuyue Pavilion, and saw Chai Yuniang from afar, standing in front of the courtyard gate with his hands in his hands, facing the sky on his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yu Niang, it's windy outside, and it's cold, it's terrible." Li Zhongyi walked over quickly, took off the cloak on his body, and wrapped it around Chai Yuniang's body very naturally.

Li Zhongyi tied the rope button of his cloak with his own hands, and consciously took a few steps back, looking very gentlemanly.

Chai Yuniang stared at Li Zhongyi with a pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Li Zhongyi with strange eyes, and after a long while, she muttered, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

Li Zhongyi showed a warm smile and said with a little doting: "Your nose is very similar to my own sister Tianniu." ”

cough, this is simply God's answer, which not only means that Chai Yuniang is a sister, but there are more inexplicable things in it, in short, it is very ambiguous.

"I don't want to be your sister." Chai Yuniang spoke very quickly, if it weren't for the tip of Li Zhongyi's ears, she wouldn't be able to hear clearly at all.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, with Chai Yuniang's current emotional state, perhaps, he would have a chance to ride her today.

However, Chai Rong is not dead yet, once Chai Yuniang is jealous and wants to monopolize his backyard, it will be a big trouble.

"Yu Niang, the lady of the Zhe family is pregnant, and she made people feel ......uncomfortable just now," Li Zhongyi deliberately didn't finish his words, leaving room for association.

Chai Yuniang hung her head, didn't squeak, and after a while, she walked towards the door of the mansion without looking back.

Hehe, Xiao Nizi was really angry, Li Zhongyi squinted his eyes, calmly observing Chai Yuniang's lonely back, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

Chai Yuniang, who was born in the royal family, is really a pretty princess who likes to eat alone. If Li Zhongyi touches her body now, once he makes trouble. Hehe, the only one who suffers may be Li Zhongyi, the prodigal son of the flowers.

Li Zhongyi sent a carriage. wanted to send Chai Yuniang out, but Chai Yuniang ignored the coachman's invitation, lowered her head, and walked out of the house slowly.

If it was before, Li Zhongyi would have to worry that Chai Yuniang would anger the Li family and cause a lot of trouble.

Now, Li Zhongyi is one of the eight prime ministers of the dynasty, and his status is still above Chai Yuniang. I'm not afraid of her messing around at all.

No matter how much Chai Rong dotes on his sister, after all, the smooth undertaking of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is much more important than his sister.

In other words, for ordinary trivial things, Chai Rong will definitely stand up for Chai Yuniang. It's just that Li Zhongyi is involved in the overall stability of the court situation, and if Chai Rong doesn't want to overturn the previous power arrangement, he can only choose to restrain Chai Yuniang.

Of course. If Li Zhongyi is in a hurry to ride Chai Yuniang now, and the nature changes suddenly, Chai Rong will definitely give marriage immediately.

Li Zhongyi deliberately took Chai Yuniang away angrily, so naturally he would not run halfway to please her. Women, you can't help but hurt, and you can't spoil yourself too hard. You have to take it easy.

After the second day, Li Zhongyi went directly back to Kaifeng Mansion. He shouldn't be on duty in the hall today.

According to the practice of the imperial court, the official seal of the state capital. Every day, they are required to receive the hall of the officials in the government.

It's just that Li Zhongyi is the prime minister and Kaifeng Yin, and he is impatient to engage in this kind of red tape, so he simply spreads the word, except for the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and his subordinates are exempted from the ceremony of attending the hall on weekdays.

The degree of freedom that officials have achieved to the same level as Li Zhongyi and the degree of freedom in government is amazing.

Not to mention anything else, ordinary state and county officials, as long as there is a murder case within their jurisdiction, must personally take the grievances to the scene to investigate.

The murder case in Kaifeng City, the left of the city is under the jurisdiction of the Kaifeng County Order, and the right side of the city is responsible for the Xiangfu County Order.

Li Zhongyi, the governor of the palace, can even sit in court without opening the case and directly hand it over to the magistrate in the right hall for interrogation.

Kaifeng Mansion is the largest mansion in the world, and the status of the judge in the left hall is higher, only one. The number of magistrates in the right hall, however, increased to four during the period when Li Zhongyi led the troops to the north due to frequent public security cases.

Li Zhongyi put his left hand around Caijiao, and quickly reviewed the official document with a pen in his right hand.

The autumn harvest season is approaching, and in Kaifeng Prefecture, the work of urging agricultural taxes will soon be rolled out.

At this time in previous years, the government had to send a large amount of manpower to go deep into the counties to supervise the major events of urging grain and money.

When evaluating the performance of state and county officials, taxes are definitely a top priority. According to the rules, it is not good to levy taxes and collect grain for two consecutive years, and the state and county officials will definitely eat melons, and at least they will get a mediocre and incompetent comment, which will seriously affect promotion. At worst, he will directly lose his official position and go home to gnaw on himself.

If Chai Rong's health is very good, Li Zhongyi would have already had the idea of reforming the tax collection system.

The imperial power is not lower than the county, which is indeed a backward form of organization, resulting in the grassroots government affairs or taxes below the county level completely in the hands of the gentry.

At the beginning, the reason why President Chang Kaishen was defeated was inseparable from the fact that the power he held did not strictly control the resources and manpower below the county level.

When it comes to Li Zhongyi's position, he naturally stands higher and sees farther when considering problems. In this era of illiteracy, most of the peasants were illiterate, could neither write nor draw, and had never seen the world.

The so-called popular will at the bottom, in Li Zhongyi's view, is only useful when overthrowing the previous dynasty. The peasants were so hungry that they had no way to live, and when they rose up and caused fires everywhere, the people in power in the imperial court knew that the peasants, who had been oppressed, had always broken out.

The emperor and the bureaucracy, even if they wanted to care about the peasantry's thoughts, did not have the advanced means of a general census of population and taxation, so they could only cry out in vain.

In this era, the so-called popular will actually refers to the Shilin public opinion that holds the right to speak.

In Kaifeng Mansion, with the assistance of Liu Jinshan and a group of old subordinates, Li Zhongyi, Kaifeng Yin, lived an unusually nourishing life.

Li Zhongyi comes to work in the government every day, and he only needs to review the abridged official documents, and he has a lot of free time.

After Li Zhongyi finished his official work, he held a picture album in his hand, making her face red and embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, I'm ashamed of the slave family." Although Caijiao has not yet experienced personnel, under the warmth of Li Zhongyi's hands and eyes, most of the things that should be understood and what should not be understood have already been understood.

Li Zhongyi held Caijiao, who was half-dissolved in her dress, and said with a smile: "Today, is the big handkerchief enough?" ”

Caijiao trembled and lay on Li Zhongyi's lap, nodded her beautiful head almost imperceptibly, pouted her little red lips, and murmured, "Brother-in-law is dead." ”

Li Zhongyi laughed, and then teased her: "Brother-in-law is not bad, Caijiao is not loved, right?" ”

"Brother-in-law, the slave family said carefully, don't be angry." Caijiao looked at Li Zhongyi timidly, for fear of making him angry.

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed slightly, Hua Jiao and Rui Jiao, as well as the Zheng family, were still staying in the other village, and there was no one around Cai Jiao to bewitch her, obviously what she wanted to say now must be the true thoughts in her heart.

Caijiao is a simple girl, even if she is a little careful, she will definitely not be able to hide it in front of Li Zhongyi.

There are a lot of women around Li Zhongyi, but like Caijiao, the brilliant character who talks to him is really very pleasing.

Men, competing with other men outside, are laborious. When I returned home, I wanted to live a warm and harmonious life, and no one wanted the women in the family to fight so much that people couldn't live in peace.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi's heartfelt words generally like to say to Fei Meiniang, who has no quarrel with the world, that what he is willing to carry around him from time to time is Caijiao.

Tang Shuyi and Li Zhongyi have shared hardships, he is a nostalgic person, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. It's just that under the influence of Xuan Shizi, her mind is a little heavier, which makes Li Zhongyi unconsciously feel a sense of pressure.

God is fair, and if he gives you certain advantages, he will also give you defects.

Li Zhongyi put his head on Caijiao's legs, put on a comfortable posture, and said with a smile: "Let them all come back." ”

Seeing his own woman's cautiousness, Li Zhongyi's heart also softened, he wanted to punish Hua Jiao and Rui Jiao before, mainly because he was worried about the two of them, and taught Cai Jiao to be very sophisticated.

There's no way, innocent girls, Li Zhongyi prefers them relatively more.

"Really?" Before Caijiao's words were spoken, Li Zhongyi had already achieved her wish first, and this girl was very surprised.

Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, when did I lie to you?" ”

Cai Jiao was overjoyed and took the initiative to kiss, Li Zhongyi sniffed the faint fragrance in her hair, and her red lips showed a charming diamond shape, which was very similar to Zheng's mouth shape.

At this time, Li Zhongyi's mind suddenly came to mind, and a somewhat evil thought: If Zheng and Caijiao lie together, what will it taste?

Mother and daughter flowers, hehe, when will they bloom?

Li Zhongyi thought about it beautifully, and Li Yunxiao's somewhat hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, someone is coming from the palace, please enter the palace immediately." ”

"Prepare the car." Li Zhongyi's heart was slammed, Chai Rong was sick in bed, and at this time, he was called into the palace, could it be that the condition of the Son of Heaven had deteriorated sharply?
