"Yes, it's enough to confuse the real thing!" Li Tao couldn't stop nodding.

"Li Xiaolangjun, for the sake of 10,000 yuan, I also took the risk to try once!"

"Oh?"

Yao Chong said with a smile: "A few days ago, Liang Dequan was drafting an official document, and when he was halfway through writing, I found someone to arrange for him to be sent out. When he got out, I copied it again and put it back in its place. After Liang Dequan returned, he did not have the slightest suspicion, and wrote the other half of the official document I copied and sent it to the counties. Until now, all the people who have read this article, including Liang Dequan, have not found that this official document is a fake! ”

"In that case, let's wait a few more days before we can clean up Liang Dequan!" Li Tao nodded.

"Tao'er, why wait a few days?" Li Longji can't wait.

"Third uncle, we have to wait for Yao Sicang's appointment to arrive!"

"Yao Chong's appointment?" Li Longji was puzzled.

"You forgot to pay respect?"

"You mean to appoint Yao Chong as Sima of Luzhou?" Li Longji was pleasantly surprised.

Li Tao smiled but said nothing.

"Li Xiaolangjun, how did you get the position of Luzhou Sima?" Yao Chong was not surprised, but worried.

Yao Chong knew well about the appointment of officials, and he knew that official positions such as recording and joining the army could be obtained by Li Tao through Cui Xiang. However, Luzhou Sima is not something that Cui Xiang can do.

"Diagonal seal!" Li Tao replied lightly.

"No, no!" Yao Chong stood up abruptly.

An oblique official, also known as an "oblique official", is an unofficially appointed official. When a group of women such as Princess Anle, Princess Changning, Shangguan Jieyu, and Shanggong Chai all had the power to "obliquely seal" the official, these women accepted bribes and awarded officials, as long as they paid 300,000 yuan, even if you were a businessman butcher, you could also be awarded an official. If the official is awarded normally, the emperor will issue an edict to seal it and hand it over to the Zhongshu Province for processing. And these women conferred the edict to write another edict "oblique seal" and then handed it over to the Zhongshu Province for processing, and the word "edict" written on it was written with an ink pen, which was different from the edict of the yellow paper and Zhu pen in the Zhongshu Province, so it was named.

Yao Chong's reaction had already been expected by Li Tao, and he asked calmly, "Why not?" ”

"If you do things like this, you will damage your reputation, and won't you leave a reputation for eternity?" Yao Chong's reaction was quite intense.

"The most pedantic, the most selfish, the most stupid!" Li Tao replied unceremoniously.

Yao Chong looked at Li Tao in surprise.

Li Longji was also full of gloom: "Tao'er, did you say that Yao Chong's words were heavier?" ”

Li Tao stood up: "Yao Sicang, there are some things that can't be done by relying on reputation alone, it's naturally good to be able to keep reputation, if you can't keep it, why can't you give it up?" Let me ask you, can you rely on Qingyu alone to defeat those traitors in the court? Can Qingyu alone get the situation of Luzhou today? The pure ones are self-purifying, the turbid ones are self-turbid, and the merits of the millennium are sinful, and their descendants have commented, how can this clear reputation be what you want? I said you are pedantic, but is it wrong? ”

Yao Chong opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Li Tao continued: "Now what we have done has reached the point of life and death, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, is your reputation important or our big thing important, don't you know which is more important?" You have ruined a big thing for the sake of your reputation, what is it if you are not selfish? ”

Yao Chong was completely speechless, he couldn't refute Li Tao.

Li Tao was unforgiving, and continued to chase and fight: "Since ancient times, the prince and the loser, if we succeed, your reputation will definitely be indispensable." If we fail, how can you keep your reputation? It's like on the battlefield, you kill the enemy with the enemy's sword, who would say that you are not right with the enemy's sword? How is this oblique seal different from the enemy's sword? Wouldn't it be stupid to throw it away? ”

Li Tao's words made Yao Chong's face blue and red for a while. Li Longji also stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Tao slowed down his tone and said: "Yao Sicang, those who achieve great things are not informal, and at this time of crisis, we need the great wisdom of judging the situation even more!" ”

After a long time, Yao Chong finally bowed deeply to Li Tao convincingly: "Listening to you talk about it is better to read for ten years, Li Xiaolangjun, thank Yao!" ”

A smile appeared on Li Tao's face.

……

A few days after Li Tao and Li Longji talked, Yao Chong was appointed Sima of Luzhou.

……

In the past few days, Li Tao has been living in the Dacaotan Racecourse, working hard to rebuild the racecourse. A few days ago, there was a big fire at the Dacaotan Racecourse, and it was Kangba who rode the "white cloud" to save the horses.

"Baiyun" was a wild horse that Kham had specially captured for Li Tao, and according to the horse book that Bao Dalai lent him, Kham quickly tamed the wild horse. This is a rare steed, white as snow, without half a stray hair, running like an arrow off the string, with four hooves fast and powerful. Whirring wind, dazzling. Kang Ba gave the horse a beautiful name--- "Baiyun", and wanted to give Baiyun to his master when Li Tao came back next time. Who knows, Kang Ba didn't wait for Li Tao's arrival, but ushered in a rare fire.

When the fire was raging, Kangba rode the "white cloud" to urge the horses to run against the fire, and if they ran along the fire, they would definitely burn to death. Although they were afraid of fire, the horses knew that they should go against the grain, and they didn't dare at first, but under the urging of Kang Ba and Bao Dalai and others, the trapped horses ran out bravely. Some of the horses had their manes burned, but none of them were burned, and even the foals were all gone.

"Master, it's useless, you punish me!" When Li Tao heard the news and rushed over, Kang Ba knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

"It's burning just right, I'm trying to expand the racecourse, this saves trouble, we just rebuild the racecourse!" Li Tao was not angry.

Kang Ba couldn't hear it, Li Tao said this to comfort himself. The guilty gratitude in his heart made Kang Ba more loyal to Li Tao.

Li Tao said this to comfort Kangba, but he also really wanted to expand the horse farm. Just do it, and the next day Li Tao started to act. The expansion of the racecourse is not a small project, but Li Tao has money in his hands, which is not a big deal. Although Li Tao didn't know what to do, Kang Ba and Bao Dalai knew that Li Tao had handed over all the expansion of the horse farm to the two of them, and he was just living here, which could be regarded as relaxing.

Such days did not last long, and someone broke his peace: Li Longji sent someone to invite Li Tao to return to Luzhou City quickly, and there was something important to discuss.

Although Li Longji didn't say what it was, Li Tao could also guess one or two.

……

"Tao'er, this Chu guest is here, what if he finds out something?" Li Longji didn't know the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly asked as soon as he saw Li Tao.

"Third uncle, don't worry, Zong Chuke can't find out anything! Even if we find out, we can gag him with money! Don't worry, just let Yao Sima do what he wants! ”
