Today's three watches.

The reward of the imperial court came down, and Gao Yong was promoted from the second-class earl to the first-class earl, and the grade was promoted from the third rank to the third grade. Zhang Guigui, Cheng Chuliang, Wei Chi Baoqi, Hou Cheng, and Li Duan were each promoted by one grade, and their grades were all upgraded by two levels.

The white tiger was promoted to the army of the Qi Wangfu, and was directly promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth grade, and was promoted four levels in a row. The rest of the people who followed them to Tuyuhun were rewarded.

Hamid was unwilling to accept the reward, Li You naturally would not treat him badly, and took more care of him in business.

Yin Guanghao didn't follow, a little aggrieved, Li You gave him an extra 20% of the shares of the ice-making workshop, and he didn't suffer a loss.

What is puzzling is that Li You still does not have any reward, but people find that this product is satisfied.

Li You reaped a lot of benefits - Li Shimin approved him to set up the People's Livelihood Research Institute. It turned out that Li You proposed the Diet Research Institute, but Li Shimin felt stingy, so he changed it to its current name.

This institute is a fat shortage.

First of all, the research institute is a first-level government department, with a four-rank official establishment of 43 people from the ninth rank or above, and these positions can be arbitrarily installed with their cronies.

Secondly, the institute is located in Taipingfang, which is close to the imperial city, and it is much more convenient to do things, unlike other institutions that are in the imperial city. In Wannian County, 460 acres of cultivated land were also granted to the Institute.

Thirdly, Li Shimin approved that Li You did not need to go to the court, raised his own funds, could engage in industry and commerce, and paid a certain amount of fees to Li Shimin and the household department every year, and his finances were completely free.

These are the necessary conditions for Li You's dream of being a foodie - no one cares, sleeping until you wake up naturally, spending money casually, etc.

"Wow, Xinfu!" Li You said with a sigh.

The formalities related to Tuyuhun's canonization were finally completed, and the imperial court sent Tang Fei, the secretary of Honglu Temple, as the canonization envoy, and returned to Tuyuhun with Murong Ling and others.

After dinner that day, Li You came to Murong Ling's residence and said to her: "Wife, you have to go back tomorrow, husband, I have prepared some things for you, you bring them back, it will definitely be useful." "The most difficult enemy in the Tang Dynasty is Tubo, and Tuyuhun is an important force to suppress Tubo and must be supported.

As he spoke, he handed her a bag of things, which was quite heavy.

Murong Ling opened it and saw that it was some books, in addition to the books such as the "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" bought by Li You, there were also "Basic Knowledge of Arithmetic", "Prevention and Treatment of Common Plateau Diseases", "Copper Mining Manual" (with the address of Guangwushan Copper Mine in Yinzhou), and so on.

Of course, a new "Tuyuhun Specialty Recipe" is indispensable.

These household registrations and manuals are the result of Li You's hard work, and they were written by staying up all night, all of which are extremely practical things.

The lack of metal information in Tuyuhun and the copper industry have restricted the development of Tuyuhun economy, so Li You specially consulted the relevant information and provided the address of a large copper mine in Murong Ling.

Looking at Li You's dark circles that stayed up all night, Murong Ling was suddenly a little moved. She and Li You have been together for a month, and she usually doesn't think anything about laughing and laughing, but this is about to be separated, and her heart is weird. My nose is a little sour and my eyes are a little damp.

She smiled reluctantly, "Thank you." "I don't know what to say.

Li You said: "Well, tomorrow you have to get up early and hurry, rest early." I'll send you tomorrow. ”

With that, he took his leave and left.

Murong Ling sat on the chair in a daze, her eyes looking at the window, and her heart was very confused.

Early the next morning, Li You sent Murong Ling and his party away, and just after returning to the palace, he saw Huang Suxin.

Huang Suxin arrived at Li You, and after saluting, he said: "Your Highness, your People's Livelihood Research Institute has been established, and the minister wants to come back and follow you." ”

Li You smiled: "I am a small temple, the highest is the fourth grade, you are already the fourth grade now, the household is a good place, there is a future, you are wronged when you come back." ”

Huang Suxin smiled: "Your Highness, what is the future that is not promising, the minister follows you, are you afraid that there is no future?" Besides, what's so good about the household? Follow you to eat and drink spicy food, and the days are much more comfortable than there. ”

He is optimistic about Li You and feels that he has a future with him, although he can't see the hope of promotion for the time being, but there will definitely be other opportunities in the future.

Li You also hoped that there were some familiar old subordinates around him, and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you don't regret it, I'll go and ask Gao Shangshu for someone." ”

In the days that followed, there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to ask to enter the institute.

Cheng Chuliang originally had a military position, and this time he was promoted to Captain Zhenwei on the sixth grade and continued to serve in the army.

Zhang Guigui, Yin Guanghao, Yu Chi Baoqi, Hou Cheng, and Li Duan all entered the research institute, and Gao Yong's brother-in-law, Cheng Su's nephew and others also entered the research institute. They used to be loose officials, but now they have official positions in the imperial court.

Jingyang County.

Zhao Jingshu, the county magistrate, really couldn't imagine that when he was about to leave at the end of his term this year and his career was over, good things came.

Wei Hongliang, the assassin of Shaanzhou, sent someone to call him to the yamen of the state capital, personally entertained him, and said to him: "Brother Jingshu, you are really blessed, His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally sent a letter to transfer you to Chang'an to serve in the Minsheng Research Institute.

Brother, you really have the ability, you have taken the line of His Royal Highness King Qi, and you have a bright future in the future. If you have the chance, take care of my brother and me. ”

Li You's status is no longer what it used to be, and after a series of Niu Cha performances, especially this Tugu Hun against the sky, he has established a high prestige between the government and the opposition.

Although Li You is currently only in charge of an inconspicuous yamen, this is also the first among Li Shimin's princes to independently open a yamen. This represents Li Shimin's trust in Li You.

The county commander Zhao Jingshu can have such an opportunity, no wonder his former colleagues are envious.

When the county commander Zhao Jingshu left the yamen of the state capital, he was still a little dazed, and he pinched his thigh a few times before he found out that it was true. Since then, a different life has begun.

The institute is headed by Li You, Huang Suxin is the vice president, and Yin Guanghao is the chief secretary. There is an agricultural department, which is in charge of Zhao Jingshu. The Industrial Department is in charge of Hou Cheng. The Commercial Office is in charge of Zhang Guigui. The Mining Department is in charge of Wei Chi Baoqi. The Education Department is in charge of Li Duan. The infrastructure construction office is in charge of Zhao Fu, the former superintendent of the palace.

On June 23, the institute was officially opened.

East Palace.

Li Chengqian's pressure has been increasing recently.

Li Ke went to Tuyuhun and came back with a reputation as a hero. Li Tai presided over the poetry competition, which was a great success and increased his prestige among the scholars. Even Li You was given the opportunity to take charge of a department independently.

However, what about Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince? The nephew plays the lantern - according to the (uncle) old.

Recently, there was a big event in the court, and he really wanted to show his hand, but he really couldn't think of any ideas, so he thought of Li You.

On this day, Li Chengqian came to the Minsheng Research Institute.

"Fifth brother, eldest brother has something I want to ask you for help." Li Chengqian said.
