Chapter 127: Monarchs and Ministers Meet
Li Su followed the eunuch out of the official office of the Ministry of Rites and came straight to the Taiji Palace.
The eunuch was very kind, and introduced him to the various official offices on Suzaku Street all the way, and after entering the gate of Taiji Palace, the eunuch's expression became solemn.
The main gate of Taiji Palace is Chengtian Gate, this door Li Su can not walk, it was only opened when the hundred officials went to the court, the eunuch led Li Su to walk on the left side of the Yong'an Gate, after passing the drum tower and then entering the Xingren Gate, Xingren Gate is one of the three provinces of the official office of Zhongshu Province, bypassing the Zhongshu Province, straight into the Huizheng Gate, the eunuch told Li Su, His Majesty Xià summoned him in the Anren Hall in the Huizheng Gate.
Li Shimin's summoning of ministers is generally in the Liangyi Palace, or the Ganlu Palace, but the summoning of Li Su is in the Anren Palace, which belongs to the harem, which shows that Li Shimin regards Li Su as his own person, or is it ...... Didn't treat Li Su as a man?
The eunuch led Li Su to the front of the main gate of Anren Palace, instructed Li Su to dress up, take off his shoes, and then enter the palace to play.
"Xuan, Li Su, the son of Jingyang County, enters the palace-"
Li Su took off his shoes, bowed down and walked into the hall in his foot clothes, quietly raised his eyes, and found a person in a bright yellow robe standing far away in the hall, Li Su hurriedly saluted from afar.
"Minister, Li Su, the son of Jingyang County, meet Your Majesty."
Straightened up and looked at the voice, Li Su couldn't help but be stunned.
Is that the Ministry of Industry official?
In the empty big @ hall, Li Shimin and Li Su looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
Li Shimin suddenly smiled kindly at Li Su: "Very familiar, right?" I've met twice, and now it's the third time, isn't it a surprise? I'm not an official of the Ministry of Works? ”
Li Su lowered his head and quickly pouted his lips in the blind spot that Li Shimin couldn't see.
When they met for the first time, they felt that this official of the Ministry of Industry had a background, especially Dongyang actually sent guards to send money for him, and Li Su had many speculations at that time. Naturally, these speculations also included the identity of the emperor.
Now seeing Li Shimin standing in front of him in a yellow robe, to be honest, there is really no big surprise.
Li Shimin brushed his sleeves and pointed to the couch next to him: "Sit!" ”
Li Su sat down honestly, his kneeling posture was very uncomfortable, and his body adjusted several times before he could barely sit firmly.
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and looked at Li Su very seriously. The sharp gaze stared at Li Su all over his body, and a layer of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his back.
After a long time, Li Shimin smiled: "It's really a young hero, I really didn't disappoint me, if the battle of Songzhou didn't have you, the victory or defeat didn't matter first, my Guanzhong disciples don't know how many casualties they would have, tell me, how did you get that little clay pot?" ”
Li Su didn't dare to talk nonsense. After thinking about it, he said: "Gunpowder, in fact, has been there for a long time, there were Taoist priests in the former Sui Dynasty alchemy, and there was often water in the Dan room, and a huge sound could be heard, this is the earliest gunpowder, and the minister made a small clay pot after asking many Taoist priests for alchemy." I figured it out when I had nothing to do......"
After speaking, Li Su felt embarrassed, and seemed to say this...... It's still nonsense.
Li Shimin smiled noncommittally. changed the topic and said: "This thing is extremely sharp, I have carefully read the secret recipe sent by Niu Jinda, and I have also asked the soldiers of Jinwuwei to try it out by hand, it is really powerful and domineering, I ask you, if I want to use this thing to dominate the world." What do you mean? ”
The corners of Li Su's eyes twitched.
Since this thing has been created, Li Su has never regretted it, as for whether he can rely on it to dominate the world, it is really not good, it depends on who uses it.
There used to be a dynasty. It was an era of flaunting integrity, the monarch and the minister were one, and the world was ruled together, because of the word integrity, and even shouted the slogan of "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the community", the momentum is not magnificent, and the firearms of that era are also very developed, but the country is less than three hundred years, and finally died under the sword, horse, bow and arrow outside the gate, the last emperor was full of anger and hanged in the coal mountain, and the good empire has since perished.
Why did a dynasty with developed firearms fail to dominate the world, but died under the most primitive cold weapons?
Not to mention the many factors of natural and man-made disasters, after all, the person holding the firearm is cold and frightened.
Now it is the Tang Dynasty, and it is the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, it is the time when all the people are returning to their hearts, and the soldiers are at their peak, if Li Shimin wants to dominate the world, is it really important whether there is a small clay pot or not?
In a moment, Li Su thought a lot, and even organized the language in his mind, planning to tell Li Shimin the truth of "might" and "virtue", but when he looked up and was about to speak, he saw Li Shimin's eyes full of smiles, Li Su was startled, and suddenly sobered up.
Secretly smiled bitterly, he was a teenage child, could it be that this emperor who looked down on the world was really asking for his opinion? How can he be?
So Li Su immediately changed his words: "My emperor swallowed the universe and swept the world, my Tang Dynasty has to meet the British lord, fortunately, the minister is the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Shimin really laughed and was very satisfied with Li Su's answer.
"It's a smart person, Niu Jinda also sent someone to give me a pair of horseshoes, and said that it was made by you, this thing was born, I don't know how many good horses and horses saved me in the Tang Dynasty, this merit is great, not inferior to the small clay pot, you have made a lot of contributions before and after, but a small county in Fenger has wronged you, but you are too young, and you are too afraid of criticism in the DPRK and China......"
Li Su hurriedly spoke: "The county is good, the minister likes it very much, thank you for your kindness." ”
Li Shimin squinted at him for a while, raised his hand and pointed at him, and said with a smile: "The kid is slippery, I have nothing else to do when I summoned you today, so I will give you a special decree, if you come up with any novel things or national policies in the future, you can play it directly, if you ask to see you outside the palace, I will see you." ”
"Obey."
Li Shimin smiled: "In this way, you can step down." ”
"The minister retired."
Li Su bowed and bowed, and just took two steps back, Li Shimin suddenly said: "By the way, your little clay pot, you can't always call it a small clay pot, you have to take a name, what do you say is the best name?" ”
Li Su suddenly felt that this sentence scratched his itch, he was too good at naming this thing, and the original five steps have always been hated in this life, and he must be ashamed today......
"Gentle years......" Li Su blurted out without thinking.
Li Shimin lived up to his expectations and agreed very happily: "Okay, it's called Earthquake Thunder." ”
Li Su: "............"
Can you still communicate happily? What the hell is "Earthquake Thunder"?
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Su found that there was an official of the Ministry of Rites waiting for him outside the palace gate, and when he saw Li Su coming out, the official stepped forward and smiled and bowed, and Li Su hurriedly returned the salute.
After a few words of greeting, the official slowly told him that the title of the prince of Jingyang County had been registered in the Ministry of Rites, and soon a seal was sent to the Li family in Taiping Village, and the imperial court also allocated 100 acres of land, but the annual harvest of the land still had to pay taxes to the government.
Li Su listened to it for a long time before he gradually understood.
At the beginning, the "200 households of the food estate" said in the holy decree of the knighthood, although the words are good, but the so-called "food yi" is simply a false seal, and there are no counts, that is to say, the court allows you to ask 200 households to help you farm the land, but the income from farming must be taxed to the government, of course, there are also powerful families who do not need to pay taxes, but the will of the people is not the same as Li Su, the people call it "real food", that is, the court really gives you 200 households, and then all the land income under the name belongs to you, and you don't have to pay a grain of rice to the government... …
For example, Princess Dongyang, a good neighbor of Taiping Village, is a "real food town" with 300 households, and 300 households support her for one household, and she does not have to pay any taxes to the imperial court, and the imperial court also gives her an extra salary every year.
The difference between one word and the treatment was far away, Li Su instantly became very lost, and then Li Su began to calculate how much money he would lose if this word was missing from the holy decree.
After a long calculation, Li Su finally came up with an answer, - a lot.
In addition to giving away 100 acres of land for free, it is basically no different from other landlords, and of course, there is also the identity of a county.
Li Su is a person who is full of optimism about life, and he feels that the algorithm he just now is wrong and too gloomy, so he changes another algorithm.
Why don't you count what you've got?
made a small clay pot, so he got a hundred acres of land for nothing, and he also had the identity of a county...... Well, after doing so, the mood is suddenly much brighter.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites have not finished speaking, although the title of the county is very small, but there is also a guard of honor, according to the system of the county's carriage can drive two horses, can be less, but never more, more to be punished, the national government is allowed to drive four horses, want to add two more horses in front of their own carriage, this life has to work hard, continue to improve, and strive to be the prince of the country when he is alive, if he is dead after the posthumous prince, the burial terracotta figurines in the mausoleum can of course also bury the four horses in, anyway, you are happy......
Li Su has no intention of driving four horses, it is enough to drive two horses in this life, if he must bury something into the mausoleum after death, he can apply to the emperor before his death, and bury the flamboyant official of the Ministry of Rites in front of him......
After saying goodbye to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, it was already afternoon, and Li Su hurriedly rode out of the city to rush home.
Dongyang must still be waiting for him by the river, this woman seems to be weak, but she has a stubbornness, and she will definitely wait for him when she waits for him.
Li Suce galloped on his horse, facing the scorching summer wind, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's nice to have someone waiting for him, as if he suddenly has a place of belonging in his heart, and he just wants to return to the person who belongs to him at any time.
It was already evening when he arrived at Taiping Village, and when Li Su was about to ride his horse to the river beach, he was surprised to find his father Li Dao pacing back and forth on the roadside at the entrance of the village.
Li Su hurriedly dismounted to meet him: "Dad, why are you here?" ”
Li Daozheng smiled, then his face turned blank, and said, "I have something to tell you, you were in a hurry during the day, and you didn't have time to say it." ”
"What's the matter?"
"During the days when you went on the expedition, I set a family affair for you, and it was still the Xu family in Jingyang County."
