On a construction site in Guanzhong County, Li Xin held a hoe in his hand, stabbed into the ground every time, and then brought out a large piece of soil, around him, there were countless people who were working hard, or digging soil, or picking soil, and there were a burst of horns on the construction site, there were people, soldiers, generals, and even emperors.

"Your Majesty, it's noon, do you want to rest for a while, Lord Cen has been waiting for a long time." Cheng Yanjin touched his forehead, shook the sweat on his forehead aside, and said with a pant.

He looked at Li Xin with respectful eyes, as a general, he hadn't done this kind of farm work for a long time, if it weren't for his physical strength, I am afraid he would really not be able to bear such a powerful labor, but looking at Li Xin, a trace of fatigue in his heart disappeared without a trace. Still working with his head down, not only he was at the scene, but also other generals and soldiers, even His Majesty the Emperor worked personally, wearing a coarse cloth coat, barefoot, doing dirty and hard peasant work, but there was no complaint, and the others were even more afraid to speak.

"Let the brethren rest for a while." Li Xin nodded, now there is a trace of darkness on his face, this is the result of being scorched by the sun these days, however, the achievement is also happy, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the leadership of Li Xin, the ravines around Zheng Guoqu have been renovated, and there will be no shortage of water in all parts of Guanzhong in a short period of time.

"Mr. Cen, coming from Chang'an, could it be that there is something important in the court?" Li Xin took a bowl of cold white from Song He's hand, opened his mouth and drank it, and breathed a sigh of relief lightly, but asked.

"Your Majesty, there are only six people in the Wude Hall now, and one more needs to be added. Lord Du said that this matter has been delayed, and His Majesty is requested to issue an order as soon as possible. Cen Wenwen whispered.

Now in the Wude Palace, there are just six people in the Wude Palace, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, Wei Yuancheng, Ma Zhou, Changsun Wuji, and Cen Wenwen, according to Li Xin's rules, there is one less person. Before, there would be no problem, a cycle every seven days. Now that there is one person missing, there will be problems in some resolutions, and when voting, there will often be a three-to-three situation, and in the end, Li Xin can only be asked to make the decision, which greatly reduces the efficiency of handling affairs.

"Tell me, who can be the seventh man?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"How is Lord Cui Junsu? Master Zheng Jibo can also do it. Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Xin cautiously. After thinking about it, he said: "These two people have made many achievements in the court, and they have a great reputation in the Kanto Shilin, if they can get one of them, they will be able to deal with the government more quickly." Please also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. Cen Wenwen said at the end, and quickly bowed his head and said.

Li Xin looked at Cen Wenwen with a smile and didn't speak, he knew that Cen Wenwen was coming. It's not just about reminding yourself that there is one less person in the Wude Palace, but it's more important to say it to yourself. The Kanto family already has a demand, which shows the magnitude of the impact of this drought. The Kwantung family wanted to follow the will of heaven to push Cui Junsu or Zheng Jibo to enter the Wude Palace.

This is a normal demand, or rather, they are a normal demand, and they want to make a breakthrough in politics, at least. It's not challenging Li Xin's bottom line. So Cen Wenwen came in person.

Should Li Xin agree? Li Xin didn't even know himself, he was silent for a while, put the hoe in his hand aside, stood up, and beckoned Cen Wenwen. said: "I don't want to use people from the Kanto family, I want to change people, I don't know what Mr. Cen thinks is feasible?" ”

Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart when he heard this, at this time he had to admit Li Xin's strength, and he also felt sorry for the Kanto family, obviously if it was before, or rather, at any time, the Kanto family's appeal would have been agreed, but at this time, Li Xin thought that the Kanto family made this suggestion at this time, not because of anything else, but because it had a sense of coercion. No matter what kind of policy Li Xin adopted in the Kanto, the influence of the nascent Tang regime in the Kanto region was still inferior to that of these families.

According to the understanding of ordinary people, Li Xin needs these families to serve him, but unfortunately, Li Xin's other identity determines that it is impossible for the Kwantung family to succeed in this matter, a self-made emperor, how can he be threatened by others to himself, it's a big deal, if he shatters the country, just rebuild another one, anyway, Li Xin is still very young now.

So in view of this, Cen Wenwen knew that the quota that these Wude Hall had finally revealed, I am afraid that there was no share of the Kanto family, and he couldn't help but say at the moment: "I don't know who Your Majesty has decided to let hold the position of this Wude Hall scholar?" ”

"Dou Yi, what do you think?" Li Xin suddenly said with a smile.

"The director of Datang Qianzhuang, the left waiter of the household department, Dou Yi?" Cen Wenwen's face changed, and the change was extremely weird, but he didn't expect Li Xin to actually promote a businessman as a scholar of the Wude Palace at this time, his face suddenly became even worse, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, this, I'm afraid this Dou Yi is a little inappropriate!" ”

Dou Yi was made a marquis, Dou Yi is the left servant of the household department, it is possible to become the head of the household department, and he is the director of the Datang Qianzhuang, the Datang Qianzhuang brought the gold and silver coins of the Datang to all corners of the Datang Dynasty, which is convenient for many merchants, it can be said that Dou Yi has a lot of power in his hands, and the credit is not small, but these cannot make him the basis for the scholar of the Wude Palace.

Wude Hall scholar is a place to deal with major affairs in the court, which of the people in it is not a handsome among the people, which one is not full of poetry and books, when can even a businessman like Dou Yi become a scholar, ranking above the top civil official group of the imperial court? Although Cen Wenwen had no prejudice against businessmen, at this time, he couldn't help but persuade Li Xin in a low voice.

"Wrong? What's wrong? It's not that he is a businessman, not a scholar, but in terms of merit, even if he is not as good as you, he is much more than Cui Junsu and others! Li Xin was suddenly a little dissatisfied. Dou Yi is a relatively good expert in the economy since he came to this era, such a person is a talent, at least a pragmatic talent, it would be a pity if he was not promoted to Wude Palace.

"This, it is naturally okay to talk about talent Lord Dou Yi, but." Cen Wenwen didn't know what to say, could it be that this Wude Hall should choose those who read poetry and books? Do you also dislike Dou Yi for being a person who is full of copper smell? Cen Wenwen can't say such a thing.

"Forget it, I won't discuss this matter today, I still have to think about it." Li Xin waved his hand, he knew what Cen Wenwen was thinking, which was also the last thing he liked to hear. (To be continued.) )
