Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Upper Dynasty

Early the next morning.

Li Yuanjing got up early in the morning, not because he didn't want to sleep in.

Before dawn, Wang Xiaoyi in the bed was scratched with green silk to wake up, and he didn't return to Chang'an for nearly a month, and Wang Xiaoyi was completely released last night.

However, Li Yuanjing could only feel guilty and had to be forced to do something unsightly.

Yesterday, Li Shimin took himself back to Chang'an directly, and the reason was naturally to let himself appear in today's morning court.

After witnessing the benefits of cement yesterday and learning about the real cost, both Li Shimin and those ministers who met him paid attention to it.

No matter how poor the imperial court was, it could build a cement workshop.

If you can't afford reinforced concrete, then replace it with green bricks, which are not as strong as reinforced concrete, but they are much stronger than rammed earth walls.

What's more, it is not afraid of wind and sun, and the height of the building is almost unlimited.

Of course, only in terms of the city wall, if you want to build a house, you still need concrete to reinforce it.

Braving the cold wind and the night, Li Yuanjing barely opened his eyes and came to the Liangyi Palace, there were still so many people attending the court meeting, and officials below the fifth grade were not qualified to participate in this court meeting.

Only at the beginning of each month, when the first pilgrimage meeting is held, and at the time of the Zhengdan pilgrimage, you are eligible.

It's still the old place, and it's still so cold in the hall.

The position that originally belonged to Gao Shilian was replaced by the new servant Wang Qi, and Gao Shilian was demoted to Yizhou.

"Your Highness, your brazier ......"

Seeing Li Yuanjing coming, the little eunuch on duty brought a brazier with a very good eye.

The last time I was angry at Wei Zheng because of the brazier, the scene is still vivid, but there are benefits, since then, every time I go to court, there are more braziers in the hall.

Many ministers still treated Li Yuanjing's scolding with a kind attitude.

"Get two more braziers, this king has always felt cold lately!" Li Yuanjing nodded calmly, and quietly glanced at Du Ruhui behind him.

"No!" The little eunuch did not dare to refuse, and went to prepare the brazier again and again.

Li Yuanjing personally took the brazier and retreated backwards regardless of his identity, and squeezed a little closer between Xiao Yu and Du Ruhui.

"Your Highness, if you retreat further, the old minister will be squeezed out!" Looking at Li Yuanjing's antics, Xiao Yu smiled with his beard.

"Before Xiao Xiang goes out, you have to drive out all the people behind you!" Li Yuanjing quipped inappropriately.

"Hahaha......" Xiao Yu smiled even happier, and I don't know why?

"Your Highness, it's better to pay attention to some at the court, and the imperial historians are all watching!" Du Ruhui reminded with a straight face.

Although he is also grateful to Li Yuanjing, he is not as grateful as others.

There was a real deal between them, and the dozens of land of the Wang family were bought by him with real money and given to King Zhao.

The 20,000 stone grain was only available at a low price when he opened the back door for Wang You, so if it was really discussed, Du Ruhui didn't owe Li Yuanjing anything.

What makes Du Ruyan most depressed is that for Mao, other people's children can play tall, and their own children can only play with dung?

Anyway, he Laozi and I are also the head of the household, not to mention the most awesome person in the Tang Dynasty, at least I can count it, right?

Let my son play with dung? Do you know that in front of these old brothers, the old man can't lift his head?

As for the county, this Du Ruhui never believed that playing with dung can play a county? Shouldn't the person who pulled dung that day be crowned a national duke?

Li Yuanjing knew what Du Ruhui's attitude towards him was, but he didn't care, and after the summer, he would know his hard work.

"Brother Du, let's get down to business, how many places will your ministry give to this king?" Li Yuanjing said in a low voice.

Yesterday, his proposal was immediately rejected by Li Shimin, but making a system for craftsmen has always been what Li Yuanjing wants to do.

Since Li Shimin disagreed, he could only start from Du Ruhui.

"Your Highness, don't embarrass Weichen, the matter of going to work will give Weichen a headache, and now he has been promoted, His Highness is going to push Weichen off the cliff!" Of course, Du Ruhui would not agree to Li Yuanjing's unreasonable request.

"The cement workshop officials don't send officials over, those people don't understand these things, so as not to make a miasma in the past, all personnel are selected from within, and the court does not need to pay only a penny, but it needs to be registered and recognized, how about it?" Li Yuanjing sighed, and could only take the way of saving the country with a curve.

Now the role of craftsmen has not completely broken their concepts, and it is really not easy to give them an official position.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanjing also came up with such a way to use the model of state-owned enterprises in later generations to settle these craftsmen.

The registration is made, and the household department gives recognition, to a certain extent, this is equivalent to giving them an official status, and the next thing is very easy to operate.

"Let's talk about it!" Du Ruhui thought about it and didn't dare to reply directly.

Theoretically, as long as the court does not pay for it, this suggestion is feasible, but the specific needs to be decided by the emperor.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, the status of the craftsman has always been ignored, the old man thinks that the registration is not a big problem, but the recognition still needs to be considered!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The things involved in this are not the affairs of one or two families, let alone the affairs of the officials, Du Ruhui does not dare to move easily, Xiao Yu does not dare to move, even if it is Li Shimin, he has to think about it.

Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the other side, stretched out his hand to bake the fire with a speechless face, and his sharp eyes kept looking at Li Yuanjing.

Several times he couldn't help but want to step forward and ask him to pay attention to etiquette, but thinking of the result of doing this last time, Wei Zheng was a little deflated.

Looking at the brazier in front of him, his hot hands that were roasted, Wei Zheng sighed secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "Forget it, let him go!" ’

The eldest grandson Wuji has been a little hot recently, and he came a little late today.

Part of his anger comes from Li Yuanjing, not to mention that he has helped him so much, but he was the first to participate, but so far, there is still no movement on the side of the third son, Sun Jun.

No matter how anxious Du Ruhui is, his son can still play with dung, but he can only be in a hurry, and he can't even play with dung, so you can say that he is not angry, right?

Li Yuanjing, the chicken thief, ran away directly yesterday and didn't give the eldest grandson Wuji a chance to ask, I wanted to ask a good question today, but I didn't expect to oversleep.

Just as he was about to speak, the chamberlain appeared.

The chamberlain is to lead the way for the emperor, and the appearance of the chamberlain on the main hall means that the emperor has set off from the dormitory, and the ministers need to quickly enter the state and keep quiet.

The eldest grandson Wuji could only temporarily put back the words that came to his lips, and waited until the next dynasty to ask later, and he must not let him run away today......
