Back at Lu Mansion, Lu Deming held a family banquet to welcome Luo Yan back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

said that it was a family banquet, but in fact, it was Lu Deming and Luo Yan, as well as the Cui brothers. Ying'er and Mrs. Lu were not served, and due to the restrictions of etiquette, they could only do so. However, before the family banquet, when the Cui brothers were talking to Lu Deming, Luo Yan had already gone to the backyard to meet Mrs. Lu.

That is, there are two more dishes than usual, but Lu Deming also asked the housekeeper to serve wine during the meal this time. This is the first time this has happened in Lufu.

Luo Yan lived in Lufu for a year, and in the following years, he also ate in Lufu every once in a while, and he had never seen Lu Deming drinking. First, Lu Deming is not good at the things in this cup, and the other reason is that he is old and can't drink it. The two reasons add up, don't say it's the Lu Mansion, even at Li Shimin's banquet, Lu Deming rarely drinks.

But tonight, because his disciple returned from hard study, Lu Deming actually made an exception, which couldn't help but make Luo Yan secretly moved in his heart. Sure enough, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life. Although Lu Deming is extremely strict with Luo Yan in terms of learning, he is very concerned about other aspects. Even in some places, as long as it is harmless, even if Luo Yan does something wrong, Lu Deming will not criticize it harshly.

Of course, although it is a wine on the table, it is only for a few people to drink a few glasses to liven up the atmosphere. Luo Yan's amount of alcohol Lu Deming is still clear, although he doesn't care about going out to drink between him and young people, but he still needs an appropriate amount at the family banquet.

A simple family feast ends with small talk. The Cui brothers said goodbye soon after the banquet, leaving Lu Deming and Luo Yan as the master and apprentice, and walked into Lu Deming's study as usual.

After all, after studying for three years, although Luo Yan will come over every month to report the situation, Lu Deming still has to go to the end to investigate the overall situation of Luo Yan's study in the past three years.

There are no books to refer to, so the master and apprentice just ask and answer one by one. Because of the relationship of time, Lu Deming had just finished taking the test for Luo Yan's understanding of the three rites, and the time was already in the middle of the night. After putting the other Six Classics exams in the future, Lu Deming gave Luo Yan a good evaluation, and then slowly returned to the backyard to rest.

Originally, Luo Yan thought that he could only be said to be okay by Lu Deming, but he didn't expect this evaluation to be a little higher, which already made Luo Yan very happy. Sanli Luoyan studied under Linghu Dedi, but he didn't listen to Linghu Dedi's explanation systematically, but he was able to ask some questions every once in a while. And since Luo Yan resigned, he didn't have much intersection with Linghu Dedi, so it can't be said that Sanli said that Luo Yan taught himself alone.

Now that he can get Lu Deming's words, this is definitely the biggest reward for Luo Yan.

The next day, after Luo Yan woke up, he originally thought about continuing to study, but he didn't read much, and he was invited to the Qin Palace.

The current Li Shimin, compared with the heroic Tiance general when Luo Yan first met, is a little less heroic, but a little more deep and tired.

Li Shimin saw Luo Yan in his study this time, and after motioning for Luo Yan to sit down, Li Shimin said: "I have been at ease in the past three years." ”

Luo Yan was a little embarrassed to say this. As a person who joined the Literature Museum early, he has not participated in any meetings of the Literature Museum in the past three years. As for Li Shimin's banquet, let alone refuse. Luo Yan is like this, and he has been a person who has been scattered in the Qingping view for three years.

As a representative figure of the younger generation in King Qin's forces, if Luo Yan's actions in the past three years hadn't been suppressed by a teacher, Lu Deming, someone would have jumped out and proposed to kick Luo Yan out.

Of course, if there is such a proposal, Li Shimin will definitely not agree. Because Luo Yan's suggestions to Li Shimin several times before, although Li Shimin did not adopt them at that time, it was proved afterwards that Luo Yan's prediction was correct. It may be a bit clumsy to come up with an idea, but Luo Yan's control of the current situation even surpasses many of the top staff members of the Qin Palace.

This ability alone is enough for Li Shimin to pay attention to. But Luo Yan still has one more thing, Li Shimin still hasn't paid attention. That's those potatoes in Wanshou County.

Originally, I planned to make a greenhouse or something in the early days, but then Luo Yan forgot about it. So up to now, the potatoes have been planted three times, and each harvest has been reported by the subordinates who have calculated it clearly.

In the past three years, Luo Yan has originally taken out potato seeds, and now the approximate number of potato seeds harvested is about three million. You read that right, the unit of this number is a single number, and if the number is not too large, the number of people under him is estimated to be in the single digits. In three years, it has multiplied hundreds of thousands of times.

Of course, because the amount of harvest under his command was too large this year, he also selected a few relatively small potatoes to be sent. After Li Shimin asked people to cook it, they tasted it, which was quite good, and it could also fill their stomachs. This effect made Li Shimin a little overjoyed.

These potatoes harvested this year can no longer be planted in the land of Wannian County. Thinking that he would have to find more land next year, Li Shimin also attached more importance to Luo Yan.

"After all, Hiko is still young, and he is not enough to take on great responsibilities anyway, so he just takes advantage of his youth to read more. In the future, it is also possible to make Caide competent for his position. Although he was a little embarrassed, Luo Yan couldn't just be silent and cold, so he began to be cheeky and found a step for himself.

"It seems that there is a lot to gain. It's better to come to the Qin Palace, and be a pen clerk for Master Li for a few days. "Li Shimin's arrangement is absolutely a stroke of genius.

For Luo Yan, Li Shimin is the person who knows the most besides Lu Deming. As early as after receiving the seawater salt on the battlefield in Shandong, Li Shimin began to pay attention to Luo Yan, and every time Luo Yan made amazing moves, Li Shimin could get a report as soon as possible.

The more he knew, the more Li Shimin felt that Luo Yan was a talent. Not to mention talented, the wisdom of this officialdom is not low, and the foresight is amazing. Partial and tranquil, not very keen on power. Most importantly, he is still young. Coupled with the discovery of potatoes, Li Shimin doesn't think that Luo Yan will only talk about it. This is basically the subordinate that a superior person wants the most.

As for arranging Luo Yan to be a pen clerk. is definitely not underestimating Luo Yan.

Although this official is not even a liuguan official, don't underestimate it. The clerk of the main book of the palace is already a person close to the core of the palace's government affairs. The main secretary is in charge of the royal documents, and there is a lot of knowledge here, so this official position is definitely only held by confidants.

Today's Qin Wangfu is still Li Xuandao. And letting Luo Yan be a pen clerk for Li Xuandao is, to put it bluntly, Li Shimin is not only entrapping Luo Yan, but also letting Li Xuandao teach Luo Yan the knowledge of officialdom. Even, there is the meaning of cultivating Luo Yan as Li Xuandao's successor.

Li Shimin actually wanted to give Luo Yan a grade-level official position, but before Luo Yan resigned, he was from the ninth grade, and now if he wants to give him a grade, he can only find him from the ninth rank in the Qin Palace, and these positions are full. Moreover, Luo Yan was silent for three years, and as soon as he came up, he was given a high position, and others were also unconvinced. At this critical moment, winning people's hearts is naturally the most important thing. Li Shimin didn't want to lose sight of one or the other.

Then the rest can only be relied on by Luo Yan. This is the chief scribe, naturally, the best position.

Luo Yan thought for a moment.

It's time to make a choice. Although he had joined Li Shimin's account before, Luo Yan had actually been at the very edge. Li Shimin also knew this matter, and he knew very well what Luo Yan was thinking. Luo Yan is arrogant, and it is impossible for him to follow directly if he can't show something.

Now that Li Shimin has basically shown the greatest sincerity, Luo Yan can't help but think about it.

In fact, it doesn't matter how you express your stance now. The next half year is the time to really give the answer. However, Luo Yan doesn't want to be the kind of villain who is the first to be the first to be the two ends of the rat. Since you have to make a choice, you will naturally follow it all the time.

"It's okay to be a scribe, but I hope Your Highness will grant me a request." As always, Luo Yan did not have any politeness to Li Shimin.

"Please." Although Luo Yan likes to bring conditions, Li Shimin is a little helpless, but since Luo Yan already has this meaning, Li Shimin also wants to hear what Luo Yan's requirements are. You know, last time Luo Yan had some ideas, people dared to ask for hundreds of acres of fertile land, although in the end the benefits still fell on their heads, but this courage is indeed a little bigger.

"No matter what happens in the future, I don't want to be lucky." This request made Li Shimin surprised. That's right, even Li Shimin was surprised by such a strange request.

"Why?" Such a requirement must be asked, as an official, isn't it better to be promoted as quickly as possible, how did you get to Luo Yan This doesn't seem to work.

"Talent and virtue are not competent, and after being lucky, they can only become a disaster. Rather than being left behind for 10,000 years, it is better to go on steadily, after all, I am still young. Luo Yan's fluttering answer made Li Shimin admire for a while. At this time, Li Shimin was thinking that Luo Yan was worthy of being Lu Deming's disciple, and this character was definitely first-class in the world.

If Luo Yan knew that Li Shimin admired him so much, he would probably blush.

Although the reason Luo Yan just said was also from the heart, this is definitely not the main reason. Luo Yan still has one more sentence that he hasn't said, and that is to save his life.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he treated the heroes very well. But don't forget, Li Shimin treats people very well, but it doesn't mean that these courtiers get along in harmony. If Luo Yan is lucky enough to get in by then, with his little political wisdom, there will be no scum left who will only be played. Therefore, Luo Yan can only go up step by step, so that he can protect himself to the greatest extent. As for how big an official he is? As long as Li Shimin values it, it is not the same whether the officials are big or small.
