Chapter Eighty-Three: Du Ho's Marriage

Li Su told Huo Yi and his son his thoughts, and Huo Yi and his son agreed and promised to do things neatly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before leaving, Li Su said: "Mr. Huo, your two grandsons Huo Ming and Huo Jian are very smart, I plan to let them teach in the newly expanded industrial school, temporarily set as an official position from the eighth grade, and then find opportunities to be promoted in the future, you can rest assured, there will be a big responsibility in the future." ”

Huo Yi's father and son were overjoyed. You must know that if a scholar has been in the cold for ten years, he has been admitted to the Jinshi, and he must first wait for the vacancy, which is regarded as an internship period, that is, an eight-rank official. At the end of the internship period, they can fill the vacancy, that is, a seven-grade official position.

Huo Yi's grandson has only been in school for half a year, and he has come out from the eight-rank official position, which is too preferential. Moreover, the ancestors of the Huo Yi family were businessmen, and no one has ever been able to be an official, this is the first time that the world has been opened.

Huo Yi's father and son hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "His Royal Highness King Liang, you are the great benefactor of our Huo family, if there is a dispatch in the future, the Huo family will definitely die!" ”

Besides, Li Chengqian, seeing that it was getting late, did not ask to see Li Shimin, but returned to the East Palace first and met his teacher Zhang Xuansu. He told Zhang Xuansu the opinions of Empress Changsun and Empress Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Xuansu also felt that what they said made sense, and nodded in agreement with Empress Changsun's opinion. Then he lowered his head and thought about how he could successfully complete the arduous task of secretly transporting grain.

Seeing that the teacher Zhang Xuansu was meditating there, Li Chengqian said the method of Li Su, the king of Liang.

Zhang Xuansu clapped his hands and praised: "Good idea, it's just a whimsy." ”

The next morning, Li Shimin's study.

The crown prince Li Chengqian asked to see Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

After listening to the grain transportation plan of the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin said: "Very good, you have a good idea. There is no need to requisition a single citizen, no need to organize large-scale transportation, dispersed access to grain, secret, safe and reliable. That's it. ”

Fang Xuanling, the general Li Jing and others who were present all praised Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, because this idea was not his. However, since Li Su had a low-key idea, he agreed with the crown prince Li Chengqian that all the ideas and credits belonged to Li Chengqian.

It is useless for Li Su to take credit, he is already a prince, and his favor has reached the top. As long as he follows Li Shimin closely and keeps the crown prince Li Chengqian, he can really eat and wait for death and enjoy life.

Li Su's grain transportation plan is very simple, that is, if the imperial court does not come forward to transport grain, there is no need to recruit people, and it will not arouse the vigilance of the tribes on the grassland because of large-scale grain transportation.

His method was to use the merchants to purchase grain from various places in a dispersed manner and transport it to the border gates, while the army to purchase grain from the merchants in a dispersed manner. Although the imperial court had to spend a little more money, the merchants made the difference. However, the consumption of the requisitioned people, the people eat and chew, and the consumption is not less than the difference.

For concealment, the army could also use the granaries of local merchants to hoard grain.

As for the matter of preventing grain mildew, it is even simpler. The Ministry of Industry produces cement, along with the production of quicklime, and spreads quicklime in the granary, which can solve this problem well.

The Tang Dynasty people do not have such a Sunday, and the imperial court stipulates that in addition to legal holidays, there is only one day off every month.

Li Su is a person who can enjoy it, and he stipulates a five-and-a-half-day work system for the institute, with one and a half days off every seven days, and this is also the rule for industrial schools.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Li Su rested in the palace.

Early in the morning, Li Dan took Li Ning'er and Du He took Tian Zhen to Liang Wang's Mansion to play with Li Su.

There were no entertainment activities in the Tang Dynasty, and fighting landlords was one of the more advanced entertainment methods. Li Su, Li Dan and Du He at a table; Li Ning'er, Cai Sha and Tian Zhen are at the same table, each playing their own games.

Li Dan and Du He followed Li Su, and in the newly established trading company of Huo Yi and his son, they had shares, and they no longer had to worry about money, and there was no stimulation for the three of them to gamble. So, they played with the drill table.

In order to enjoy it, they specially chose a narrow table, which is more difficult to climb. Li Dan is fatter, and he suffers even more, every time he drills over, the table moves with him. As long as Li Su and Du He saw him drilling the table, they pressed the table with their hands and snickered at his stupid appearance.

Li Dan is not stupid, he won't play with them anymore. He lit a cigarette and said, "Don't play, take a break." He looked at Tian Zhen and said, "Big man (Li Dan's nickname for Du He), how is the matter between you and that girl?" ”

Du He said: "Er Fat (Du He's name for Li Dan), no, my mother disagrees. I'm scared to death. ”

It turned out that Du He liked Tian Zhen and wanted to marry Tian Zhen as a concubine. Du He is a nobleman, and Tian Zhen cannot be his wife, but can only be a concubine. In ancient times, it was allowed to marry a concubine first and then a wife, depending on the title.

Tian Zhen also likes Duhe, and her family agrees. However, Du He's mother disliked Tian Zhen as a businessman, and she was unwilling to live or die. It's no wonder that Du He's father, Du Ruhui, liked Du He's mother Liu back then, because Liu was born in a family of small officials, so he could only marry her. Liu has suffered a lot of grievances.

People are very strange, Liu's situation back then was similar to Tian Zhen, and it was said that she should sympathize with Tian Zhen, but she was the opposite, and she also paid great attention to the right person. In fact, this kind of psychology is very normal, and many people will be like this, which is also a kind of psychological compensation.

Tian Zhen was playing cards over there, but his ears were listening to the conversation here, and the expression on his face was very gloomy.

Li Su said: "You are a fart." You are the first person among our brothers to marry a wife (Du He is 13 years old, not in a hurry, but Tian Zhen is almost 15 years old, and his father is in a hurry), we will help you find a way. ”

Du He's eyes lit up and asked, "What way?" ”

Li Su said: "It's simple, just give Tian Zhen an identity." My status as a prince is not suitable, and I will be criticized, otherwise, I will recognize her as my sister. However, I've got you covered.

I have already agreed with Huang Qi, the director of the office of our research institute, that he has agreed to accept Tian Zhen as a righteous daughter. Huang Qi is a fourth-grade official, and his status is not low. With his merits in the grain planting base, I have a way to get him an earl, isn't that okay?!

If you are still not at ease, I will ask the prince's brother to come forward and ask for Tian Zhen's marriage, do you think it's okay? ”

Li Dan also said: "If it doesn't work, I beg my father to come forward and ask for Tian Zhen's marriage." ”

After Tian Zhen listened to Li Su and Li Dan's words, he had already shed tears of surprise.

Du He didn't say a word, went over and grabbed Tian Zhen's hand, walked to Li Su's side, and knelt down.

Li Su hurriedly pulled them up and said, "Third brother, what are you doing here?" We're brothers, so we don't need to do this. ”

Du He said: "Brother Su, you let me finish my words." Du He Kongwu was strong and couldn't hold on, Li Su couldn't move him, so he had to let him finish his words.

Du He said: "Brother Su, you and the second brother said to me, I ...... what I didn't say" He was really moved, and he couldn't go on with the following words. Tian Zhen, who was next to him, had already cried like a tearful man.

Li Ning'er sat on the side, her eyes were foggy, and she was thinking about her thoughts in a daze.

Cai Sha was also moved to tears, holding a handkerchief, and wiping her tears there vigorously.

At this moment, Yang Kang walked over, his triangular eyes flickering, and said a message that no one could have imagined.
