Chapter 1199: Honorary Titles
Things did not exceed Li Chengqian's expectations, and after pondering for one night, when he mentioned the knighthood to the old man the next day, he was really scolded back by the old man.
"Li Gaoming, what is it in your head? Why is it so non-mainstream! Isn't it okay for the public to do it at all? "The old man should have been so angry that he would say the word 'non-mainstream'.
To knight the craftsman, this kind of thing can only be imagined by Li Chengqian.
Just as women are allowed to go out to work and officials are allowed to pay taxes in one piece, this time his demands are also contrary to popular opinion.
After all, now Datang is talking about Shinong industry and commerce, and even 'shi' is not so easy to obtain such a thing, as a representative of 'work', how can a public loser be knighted?
"Father, the son is different from what you considered, now my Datang needs someone like Gong Loser to contribute, what can those guys who only know Shi Ziyun do? Doesn't it depend on the craftsmen and businessmen to develop the economy? Wouldn't it be nice to give them a little sweetness and let them do a little more? ”
As the so-called family doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, Li Chengqian, who is a son, doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, in his opinion, the left and right are just a matter of a viscount and a baron, and there is no need to be so clear on the line, as long as someone is willing to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, a mere title is nothing.
But this is not the way to think about the problem on Lao Li's side, in view of the fact that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old man (that is, Lao Li Yuan) rewarded countless official titles, and now Lao Li is desperately trying to recover those titles, how can Li Chengqian be allowed to make the same mistake again.
"Father, in fact, this kind of empty title is really nothing, don't you say? It's just an honor.,It's a big deal.,Let's get a few small cards to give them.,Everything about the treatment is simple.,Or there's no either.。 Anyway, all those people need is fame, and it doesn't matter if they are treated accordingly or not. Li Chengqian saw that the old man had not spoken, so he could only continue to express his opinions.
"So have you ever considered other people's feelings? It's true that the name of a viscount is not uncommon, but what about those nobles? What about the soldiers who are fighting outside? Are they not contributing? ”
The old man was a little anxious by Li Chengqian's muttering, and slapped the table and shouted: "You just have to act conveniently, you are used to selling officials and lords, you don't think about it, do you know how many families and scholars are staring at the matter of knighthood now!" ”
The old man's words are a bit heavy, buying officials and selling lords is a big taboo in any dynasty, and Li Chengqian can't afford such a crime even if he is the crown prince, after all, this is corruption, not the normal operation of the country.
Of course, this is also Lao Li who was forced by Li Chengqian to have no choice, so he would say this kind of heart-wrenching words, otherwise he would definitely have a better way to deal with it.
"So, what then? Erchen, Erchen have all agreed to others. "Li Chengqian put on his head and face with 'ambergris', pretending to be greatly wronged.
However, His Majesty Li Er had already seen through his disguise, and said with a cold snort: "That's your business, you can handle the things you promised." ”
"Huh?!" Li Chengqian is dumbfounded now, the old man doesn't nod here, even if he has great ability, he can't handle the matter of the title, and without the title as bait, the old guy who loses is afraid that it will not be so easy to step on the same boat with him.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian held an attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and leaned to the old man's side: "Father, you see...... How about your position as an honorary viscount? ”
"Huh? What honorary viscount? Datang has such a title? Lao Li originally planned to drive this guy who had nothing to do and was looking for trouble, but he was interested in it by his words.
"Honor, simply put, it is supernumerary, not officially compiled." Li Chengqian spread his hands and said: "Or there is only one title, but there is no benefit, father, what do you think?" ”
You must know that in ancient times, no matter what kind of title it was, in fact, it had its own fiefdom, maybe some people's fiefs were large, and some people's fiefs were small, but it was undeniable that fiefs were indispensable, so Lao Li was very concerned about knighthood.
But after Li Chengqian's explanation, the old man suddenly moved, if it was just a title, a false name, this business seemed to be really done.
And this is not only a matter of losing the family, but other people can also follow this example in the future, such as those soldiers who have returned from winning battles, but the specific reward standards still need to be discussed.
"Father, what do you think?" Li Chengqian saw that the old man didn't speak for a long time, and vaguely guessed that he should be moved, so he couldn't help but ask.
The old man gave a noncommittal 'um', and then said, "I need to discuss this matter with Keming and them, you can go back first!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Chengqian didn't expect the old man to agree immediately today, but now when he saw him relieved, he turned around and left happily.
Comrade Xiao Li has now figured it out, and doing solid work is the foundation of his own foothold, and some other policy and political matters are all nonsense, and those guys who shout every day about benefiting the country and the people will not let some policies that are unfavorable to him be truly implemented in Datang.
So he didn't mention anything about land replacement to the old man at all.
Although during this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is counting the locations and areas that the major families want to replace, but Li Chengqian has no plans to participate in it anymore.
Moreover, in a short period of time, Li Chengqian also did not plan to go to the old man's study again, and he would be scolded every day for the past few days, which made Comrade Xiao Li feel an indescribable depression, and secretly decided that if the old man did not come to 'invite' him, he would not be killed in the future.
In this way, Comrade Xiao Li's life was slowly on the right track, and every morning he went to the morning court when he had an early court, and if he did not have an early court, he hid in his own circle and became a self-unified.
The old man's time may be because of his age, and there will be a break in the early dynasty every day, but this has nothing to do with Li Chengqian, the matter of 'medical reform', the matter of 'education reform', and the matter of the railway.
Besides, Lao Li is Lao Li after all, people are Lao Tzu, and Xiao Li is his son, no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to solve the old man's mold.
In this way, a few days passed in a flash, and finally it was the day when the old man Taishan Feng Zen traveled, and Li Chengqian was unexpectedly left by the old man to supervise the country again.
