Text Chapter 4 Xianyang County Male

Li Sheng walked on the jade steps of the palace, how excited it was for future generations to see Li Shimin, and now there can only be one word to describe Li Sheng's mood at this time, that is, panic.

Qu Yuan Plough and Li Sheng came to the hall together, and after the guards put down Qu Yuan Plough and Cocoon Car, they turned around and left. Li Sheng didn't dare to look around, bowed his head and walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down and said, "Li Sheng of Xianyang County pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Li Shimin walked down the hall, walked up to Li Sheng and said, "Get up, let me see what I look like." ”

Li Sheng looked down and saw a pair of bright yellow boots coming to him, and his heart was pounding. This is the Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin, who is famous in history, and he walked up to him. To say that you are not excited, not to be apprehensive is false. But since you have to look at yourself, you can't be too cowardly.

Li Sheng calmed down and stood up. Who knew that before he could react, Li Shimin grabbed Li Sheng's arm and gently dragged it up. said: "Heroes come out of teenagers, this sentence is true." I think you're fifteen or sixteen years old. can have such a dexterous heart, it seems that I am also a talented person. Hahaha....... ”

Li Shimin smiled, saw Li Sheng's restrained look, dragged Li Sheng to Quyuan plough and the building car, and said, "You come and tell me about the benefits of this thing." ”

Li Sheng had no choice but to repeat the benefits of the two farm tools, especially emphasizing the benefits of saving ploughing cattle and increasing production. Li Shimin's dragon heart is happy. On the spot, it was announced that Li Sheng was given a thousand gold, 100 brocade horses, and was named a man in Xianyang County. However, Li Sheng was not rewarded with food and land. There is no way to do this, Li Shimin is still very cautious about rewarding.

Because the Tang Dynasty advocates military merit, if Li Sheng's reward is too high, it is difficult to explain to the sergeants and generals of the army. So Li Sheng got a county man, which is also the reason why looking at what Li Sheng invented can be Ze Wanmin.

However, Li Sheng is not too little, and the reward of a thousand gold and a hundred brocade horses is also a lot, although the thousand gold is only a consistent money, and the purchasing power is not low. What's more, there is also the identity of the county man and a hundred brocades, which is much more than usual.

Li Sheng walked out of the palace, Wang Sili and Guan Lao Wu hurriedly greeted him, asking what reward he had received. After Li Sheng told them about the reward, the two couldn't help but show envy, but the two still congratulated Li Sheng very sincerely. This is the Tang Dynasty, and people still worship people who have the ability to earn titles. It's not like a group of red-eyed patients who provoked it in later generations.

Although Wang Sili failed to enter the palace to face the saint, he knew that his benefits were indispensable, and he might be able to upgrade to a higher level. He understood that this was all because of Li Sheng's advantage, and he naturally had a good impression of Li Sheng at this time. personally sent Li Sheng back to Lijia Village. said that after the holy decree came, he would go to Li Sheng to say goodbye. Li Sheng also knew that this was a kind word, so he didn't take it seriously.

Lijia Village ushered in a great event, and the whole village was boiling. As soon as Guan Lao Wu returned to the village, he ripped open his big mouth, and legends spread everywhere. As a result, the courtyard of Li Sheng's house was full again.

In the evening, Li Sheng finally sent the people away. He still lies under the locust tree in the yard, thinking about his life. He has been here for about ten days, and Li Sheng has always been very conflicted in his heart. He didn't know where he really belonged, past life or present. The overlap of the two memories made Li Sheng very uncomfortable.

When it got dark, Li Sheng wrapped himself in his clothes and stood up. I thought to myself, "Go away from your past life!" I can't go back, I'm sorry for you, my relatives. I live, far away from you. Tears flowed.

Although Li Shimin personally rewarded Li Sheng in the palace, the holy decree still had to be issued. When Li Sheng was directing the villagers to farm in the field, Guan Lao Wu's mother-in-law ran to the field and shouted, saying that someone had sent the holy decree to herald. The people working in the fields hurriedly put down their work and all ran towards Li Sheng's house. Li Sheng looked at the people who ran back, smiled and shook his head, others didn't know and thought that they would pass on the holy decree to them. Li Sheng stopped procrastinating, tidied up his clothes, followed behind everyone, and rushed home.

Three people wearing brocade robes and hats stood in the courtyard of Li Sheng's house. When Li Sheng saw that the three of them were all white-faced and beardless, he knew that these three were all people dedicated to the palace. didn't dare to slack off, and just as he was about to salute, he heard a person arrogantly say: "You are Li Sheng?" Hurry up and get the order. ”

Li Sheng helplessly knelt down along the bowed body. Said: "Li Sheng of Xianyang County welcomes the holy decree. ”

"The holy decree said: Li Sheng, a household in the village of Li under the rule of Xianyang County, is a smart child, makes a ququyuan plow, and the new is a cocoon car, Ze is the people, the whole country is beneficial, the merit is not added, the punishment is not punished, the merit is not rewarded, everything is for, the royal seal Li Sheng is the male of Xianyang County, and he is given a hundred brocade horses and a thousand gold. Chin this. ”

There is no flowery rhetoric in this holy decree, and there is no saying of "Fengtian carrier", because the Tang Dynasty really didn't use this, because only the Manchu Qing Tartars would shamelessly use "Fengtian carries the emperor, edict said", these whitewash the beginning of the face. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were still very pragmatic and basically went straight to the point. Therefore, Li Sheng's holy decree goes straight to the point at the beginning, which is nothing more than to make it clear that Li Sheng is very clever and has created an amazing thing, which can benefit all the people, and if the merit is not rewarded and punished, it will be difficult to convince the public, so reward Li Sheng with something. This is the straightforwardness of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the holy decrees of the Tang Dynasty also had formal ones, such as "system said" or "edict", which were used when rewarding great merits, or when vassals, concubines, princes and other major events. In addition to the holy decree like Li Sheng, which can show the pragmatic and straightforward character of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is also the fact that Li Sheng's face is not enough.

After the holy decree was recited, the three of them put together the holy decree and did not mean to give it to Li Sheng. As a clerk in his previous life, Li Sheng still understands what it means. hurriedly gave Guan Lao Wu a look, Guan Lao Wu was still immersed in the conjecture of the holy decree and couldn't extricate himself, which made Li Sheng speechless. He had no choice but to get up and run to the house, took out the usual money, and said, "The three of you have worked hard, I will treat the three of you to a drink." ”

The one who took the lead took the money, and when he saw that it was consistent, his face suddenly became charming. said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xiao Langjun, the slave and maid, I have to go back to make a business later, so I won't bother much." ”

Li Sheng nodded and sent the three away, and as soon as he returned to the yard, the villagers were congratulated again, praising Li Sheng's young intelligence, saying that Li Erhu gave birth to a good son. Li Sheng took out the emperor's reward again, sprinkled some money, and everyone left.

With a knighthood, he is not a commoner, and Li Shengzhen can't do this kind of work in the ground. Guan Lao Wu looked at Li Sheng from time to time, as long as Li Sheng arrived on the ground, he would come over and drive him away. Mei said that he was a county man, and he couldn't do such a lowly job, let him go back and study hard, otherwise he would be sorry for Li Erhu. This made Li Sheng very depressed.

Li Sheng, as a graduate of the Agricultural College, you don't let him go to the field. What do you say he can do? Reading, the ancient ones, he can't read. There are no things like TVs and mobile phones to entertain, and he is alone at home, and there is no one to talk to, which does not allow him to work and suffocate people.

Li Sheng felt that he had to find something to do for himself, and if he didn't do anything for a day, he would just think that he would go crazy sooner or later. Especially the memory of his previous life, this is a pain in Li Sheng's heart, and Li Sheng must keep himself busy.

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, but decided to make money. Only when you make money can you study things better and give full play to your strengths. Although his family now has a little money, it is equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in later generations. If he wants to study agriculture, he can't make waves with all this money.

"Looks like I'm going to have a plan. Let's start by making money. Li Sheng secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Li Sheng painted and wrote at home for a long time, only to find that it was not easy to make money in the Tang Dynasty. He can't do the existing business, because what he can do has been done by others, and he has no power or power, if he plunges into it, he will have to lose all his money if he can't keep it.

The new gadgets are not so easy to make, mainly because without Li Sheng is a farmer who has just won the county, after the new things come out, there may be no leftovers of others to eat, and there is no bone residue for him, and he may have to accompany his life.

Li Sheng threw the brush in his hand, grew a mouthful, and thought to himself: "Damn, I don't believe it, others are all awesome to rub, I'm such a waste." ”

In less than three days, Li Sheng's fields were all finished. Now it's up to God. Li Sheng paid all the wages, and Li Sheng had nothing to do at all. Every day he lies in the courtyard and basks in the sun. Just when Li Shengbai was bored, a guest came to his house.

Wang Sili entered the courtyard of Li Sheng's house and saw that Li Sheng was pretending to sleep. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

"Xiao Langjun, good Yaxing, quite the artistic conception of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie."

Li Sheng opened his eyes and was surprised to see Wang Sili with three servants appearing in his courtyard. He didn't expect Wang Sili to really come. Hurriedly got up and said, "I don't know if Lord Xiancheng is coming, and I will miss the welcome." Sin, sin. ”

Wang Sili waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "I inspected the township today and walked to Xiao Langjun, just to say hello by the way. ”

"Lord County, it's funny, you are a distinguished guest who can't even be invited, Lord County Cheng said it was funny." Li Sheng hurriedly said: "The family is rude, but it is rude." ”

Li Sheng hurriedly ran to the house, moved his table out, took out a few small benches, and put them in the yard. Said embarrassedly: "It's a little dark in the house, and the wronged county lord will rest in the courtyard for a while, and he will go back if he wins." ”

"Xiao Langjun, but go to evaluate wine and buy meat? If I'm lucky enough to guess it, Xiao Langjun won't go, I've already brought it. After Wang Sili finished speaking, he glanced at the officer, and one of the officials walked out of the courtyard.

"Lord County, I was ashamed, I originally wanted to entertain adults, but I didn't expect Lord County Cheng to think so thoughtfully." Li Sheng gave Wang Sili a salute, showing a very ashamed look.

"Xiao Langjun is wrong, he came today, although he was inspecting the township. The most important thing is to say thank you. Just because Xiao Langjun has made meritorious contributions, he also got some light from Xiao Langjun and made the county order of Xianyang County, do you think I should come to thank you? After Wang Sili finished speaking, he looked at Li Sheng with a smile.

Li Sheng hurriedly showed an excited smile and said, "Sheng, Lord Hexi has been promoted." ”

Wang Sili said happily: "Congratulations together." ”

The official returned to the courtyard, placed the wine and food on the table, and Wang Sili motioned for Li Sheng to take a seat. Li Sheng was also very polite to invite Wang Sili to take a seat. After the two of them gave in for a while, Wang Sili still took a seat, and Li Sheng took a seat in the east side seat.

As soon as the two of them took their seats, Wang Sili said: "Xiao Langjun's talent, I admire it very much. Such a delicate thing could never be made without the talent of warp and weft. As soon as this thing comes out, my Datang national strength will be stronger. This is all the credit of Xiao Langjun, for which I would like to give you a cup. ”

Li Sheng raised his wine glass and drank it politely. He felt that the wine brought by Wang Sili was much stronger than the last time, but the degree was too low. Li Sheng looked at the three officials who came with him, but he just stood still next to him and didn't speak, Li Sheng felt uncomfortable, and he didn't want to pull him into a seat. I had no choice but to say to Wang Sili: "My lord, I apologize, please take a moment." Win and go back right away. If you are sluggish, please Haihan. ”

Wang Sili frowned, very unhappy in his heart. However, he saw that Li Sheng really had something, so he had to let him go. Li Sheng left the house and went straight to Guan Laowu's house next door. Guan Lao Wu was not at home, Li Sheng found Guan Lao Wu's daughter-in-law, gave him some money, and asked her to help buy some wine and food to come back. also deliberately confessed and bought his family back.

After Li Sheng made the arrangements, he came back soon. He also confessed to Wang Sili. Then I sat down. The two chatted with each other again. In the middle, Wang Sili also tested some of Li Sheng's talents from time to time, Li Sheng has the memory of this life, and he can answer the four books and five classics. This made Wang Sili very happy.

Not long after, Guang Lao Wu's daughter-in-law timidly sent the wine and food over. A table was also brought from her house. Wang Sili looked at Li Sheng curiously and asked, "Xiao Langjun went out just now just to buy these wine and meat?" ”

"At noon, I think you must be hungry and thirsty, and I don't want them to work too hard, so I asked my aunt to mess around."

Li Sheng said very modestly. But when I heard Wang Sili's ears, it was different. Originally, Wang Sili came to invite Li Sheng to be an official under him, and there were not many scholars in these years. There are even fewer children from poor families. There are even fewer children from poor families like Li Sheng who can make Quyuan plows.

He was still stained with Li Sheng's light, so he was promoted from the county commander of the lower seventh grade to the county commander of the upper seventh grade. To tell the truth, when Wang Sili toasted Li Sheng just now, he wanted to put down the wine glass and tell him about it. Unexpectedly, Li Sheng turned around and went out, which made Wang Sili feel that Li Sheng was still too young and had no experience. Only then did he let go of this thought, but he still didn't give up, and after taking some of Li Sheng's knowledge, he found that Li Sheng did have some talents.

Wang Sili rose up again to love talents, and just when he wanted to speak, Guan brought wine and food again. This made Wang Sili's high evaluation of Li Sheng impossible to say.

Li Sheng knew what Wang Sili meant, so he had to answer honestly: "Yes." ”

When Wang Sili heard Li Sheng's affirmation, he couldn't help but praise Li Sheng in his heart, talented, learned, and benevolent. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty were heroic and straightforward, that just said that the character of most people, such as the government and the family, still paid more attention to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and the servants still had no status in front of the chief, and there was really no place for them to sit in the seats of the Shangguan banquet.

Wang Sili saw that Li Sheng respectfully admitted, so he said: "Xiao Langjun, do you want to benefit the people for the official? ”
