Chapter 138: I Won't Treat You Badly
Even though Li Chengqian was a little reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to stop him
Therefore, Liu Yiyi followed Li Ran.
Li Ran is the chief of the inner chamberlain, and he is at the same level as the chief executive of the Qing and Ming dynasties, an idol-level figure. Although he doesn't have much power now, Liu Yiyi doesn't dare to be too rude to him. There is a saying that makes money and is kind to others. In this palace, where will there be any real little people.
"Mr. Li is invited." Liu Yiyi took two steps, caught up with Li Ran's steps, bowed to him, and asked softly: "I don't know what the emperor and his old man summoned Xiaomin, what is the so-called matter?" I hope the Governor can teach me. ”
"Mr. Liu is so polite, how can the villain afford such a big gift from you." Li Ran hurriedly bent over and returned the salute, looking flattered, he had been an errand boy in the palace for more than ten years, except for the group of servants under him, how could anyone treat him so politely. So after getting up, Li Ran looked at Liu Yiyi's gaze, and immediately added a little kindness.
The waiter is an incomplete person, and it is inevitable that he will have low self-esteem in his heart. How many people don't regard the chamberlain as a person, and in the eyes of most powerful people, the chamberlain is not even as good as a subordinate. Even a person like Li Ran, who has always stayed in front of Li Shimin, has been looked down upon more than once.
"What is the matter with the emperor's summoning of Mr. Liu, how can a person with the status of a villain be qualified to know." After speaking, Li Ran leaned over to Liu Yiyi's side again and said in a low voice: "However, the emperor summoned Mr. Liu, it is very likely that it is for the matter of Nongsang, and the great Si Nongqing is with the emperor at the moment." ”
Nongsang? It's a good match for his profession. But this has always been a secret hidden in his heart, how could Li Shimin and that big Si Nongqing know? Could it be, Qu Yuan plow?
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Liu Yiyi bowed his hand and thanked Li Ran. Who said that the chamberlain is useless, in terms of listening to the news, who can match these chamberlains who often circulate at the emperor's place?
Li Ran nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is polite, Mr. Liu, come with the villain, the emperor is afraid that he is already in a hurry." ”
"Hmm. Mr. Li led the way. ”
The palace is very large, it can be said to be huge, there are hundreds of halls of all kinds, and there are three or five thousand houses, which are almost as big as a small county town. Those who don't know the way will be dizzy when they enter this palace.
Liu Yiyi followed Li Ran, walked around and around in this palace, and walked for about a moment, and then walked from the East Palace to Li Shimin's study.
Li Ran stopped. Nodding his head, he gestured to Liu Yiyi and said, "Mr. Liu, this is the emperor's study, you stay here for a while, and wait for the villain to report to you." ”
"Well, there's Mr. Lao Li." Liu Yiyi arched his hand at him, and waited obediently outside. Luckily, it's not winter. The weather is getting warmer. It's not so uncomfortable to stand outside the door like this.
After a while, Li Ran came back again, bowed down and invited Liu Yiyi in.
"Xiaomin Liuyi, meet the emperor!" Liu Yiyi bent down and bowed his head, walked to the study, and bowed to Li Shimin.
In this palace, the only thing that makes Liu Yiyi feel good is this kind of etiquette. Unlike several later dynasties. At every turn, you have to kneel down for someone.
"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded and instructed Liu Yiyi: "You can sit too!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Yanagichi straightened up. walked lightly to Su Bingren's side, bowed his hand to the old man he didn't know, and then bent down to sit down in his lower seat.
This is the willow that has made a lot of noise in Chang'an City in recent days? I didn't expect to be so young. From the moment Liu Yiyi came in, Su Bingren began to look Liu Yiyi up and down. The expression on his face, well, was surprised and surprised.
Some didn't believe that this young man in front of him, who was the same age as his precious granddaughter, could be so capable. Cure the queen's terminal illness, create Liu's new calligraphy, listen to what the emperor said just now, this Liu's plough seems to be from his handwriting. This is too amazing, is there really such a genius in this world?
Seeing Liu Yiyi arching his hand to him, Su Bingren also returned the salute. The young man seemed to be very polite. The first impression of Yanagichichi was not bad.
"Mr. Liu," Li Shimin looked at Liu Yiyi, took a sip of the tea bowl, and asked: "A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Liu had opened a workshop in Sanyuan, specializing in the production of ploughs, but I don't know if this is the case?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Yiyi nodded, under Yang Bofang's deliberate arrangement, these have become well-known things, and there is no need to cover them up.
"The name of the workshop is called 'Liu's Plough Workshop'?"
"Yes!" Yanagichichi nodded again. At the same time, I also knew a little in my heart that Li Shimin summoned him this time, and it must be for the Quyuan plow.
"Dare to ask Mr. Liu, that willow-style plough, but it is produced in Mr. Yu's 'Liu's Plough Workshop'?" This sentence was asked by the old man Su Bingren, who asked about it
Xiang Liu's eyes were all shining.
"Who is this lord?" Liu Yiyi did not answer immediately, but arched his hand and asked the old man.
"Oh, it's the little old man who is rude." Su Bingren arched his hand and said: "Little old man Su Bingren, thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, is now the post of the chief secretary of agriculture." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Si Nong." Liu Yiyi smiled and arched his hand and said, "The kid is polite." The Liu's type plough that Master Si Nong mentioned just now was indeed produced by the workshop. I wonder what Master Si Nong has to say? ”
No need to ask, Liu Yiyi also knows that this Dasi Nongqing, surnamed Su, must have fallen in love with his Quyuan plow.
Since this great secretary of agriculture is in charge of the affairs of agriculture and mulberry in the world, he will inevitably have some thoughts in his heart when he encounters advanced tools like Liu's plough. I just don't know what he wants to do.
"Don't dare to advise," Su Bingren solemnly saluted Liu Yiyi and said, "The old man just wants to represent the people of the Tang Dynasty, thank you Mr. Liu." With Mr. Liu's plough, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed in the future. ”
"Lord Si Nong is polite, the kid can't afford it." Liu Yiyi didn't dare to take this high hat, he arched his hand to Su Bingren and said: "The kid is a farmer, and at the same time a businessman, like this kind of thing that is both beneficial to farming and profitable, the kid will not miss it." ”
Liu Yiyi has already seen some aims, Li Shimin and Old Man Su, this is a white wolf who wants to empty gloves.
This kid is very fine, Li Shimin took another sip of tea, then put the tea bowl on the table, looked at Liu Yiyi and said: "Liu's plough is out of my Tang Dynasty, it is really the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, Mr. Liu can create this plow, that is indispensable." I want to give Mr. Liu a generous gift, but I don't know what Mr. wants? ”
Liu Yiyi chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Shimin and replied: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin has nothing to wish for, just to be able to operate this Liu's plough workshop in a stable manner, and strive to make my Tang people can use Xiaomin's Liu's plough as soon as possible!" Make a contribution to my Datang farming affairs, add a piece of light, add a brick and tile, and ask the emperor to be able to fulfill it! ”
"Oh," Li Shimin nodded lightly, his eyes were full of appreciation, this kid is a talent. Then he spoke: "I am very pleased with Mr. Liu's loyalty. But this 'Liu's Plough Workshop'" Li Shimin set his eyes on Su Bingren.
"Your Majesty," Su Bingren understood, also stood up, and said to Li Shimin: "For this 'Liu's Plough Workshop', Weichen has some opinions, I don't know whether to talk about it. ”
"Oh? Su Aiqing, please speak up! Li Shimin said.
Su Bingren bent over and said: "Mr. Liu runs this 'Liu's Plough Workshop' alone, and his strength is too thin after all, and the daily production of Liu's plough is also extremely limited, and it is difficult to promote it." ”
"Therefore, in order for the people of my Tang Dynasty to use Liu's plough as soon as possible, in order to reduce some of the burdens on Mr. Liu, Weichen saw it and came forward by the court to help Mr. Liu and run it together."
Old man Su's words made Liu Yiyi's heart cool and cool. This old man's heart also darkened a little, and in a word, he wanted to take over his 'Liu's Plough Workshop', it seems that today's matter cannot be good.
"Well, what Su Aiqing said is extremely true," Li Shimin looked at Liu Yiyi, looked at him with interest and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks?" ”
"Your Majesty, how dare this little people object," Liu Yiyi bowed and replied: "Originally, Xiao Min had the intention of giving this plow workshop to the court, but Xiao Min was born in a farmer's household, and his family did not have much land, and his family has not been well-off. In two months, Xiaomin will marry his daughter-in-law, and then he will build a new house, buy furniture, and have a bride price banquet, and Xiaomin's brother will also go to a private school to study, so that he can make a name for himself in the future, and Xiaomei will only be a little more than six years old, and there will be at least ten years before he can get out of the cabinet, and if Xiaomin has another heir in the future."
"Okay, okay," Li Shimin waved his hand, stopped Liu Yiyi's complaining voice like chanting, and scolded with a smile: "Look at what you said, it's as if I want to take away your life." Don't worry, I'm not such an unreasonable person, and I won't treat you badly! Your 'Liu's Plough Workshop' and the production method of Liu's plough will be purchased at a high price by the court, and there will be no shortage of money for your daughter-in-law! As for your second brother, if he is really talented, I will not let him be buried in the countryside. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Liu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a famous gentleman is a famous gentleman, this key point is grasped, and every sentence is said to his heart.
Although it is a little loss, but in this dynasty where the imperial power is supreme, such a result is not bad, right?
Alas! Evil feudal society!
