Chapter 168: Taking office

Since it was the emperor's order, there was nothing to say, and the hard-pressed lord cleaned up and officially went to work, starting his first day of employment.

At that time, Chang'an City, for the office of the three princes and nine kings, did not open up the yamen as the later generations to open up the independent office, Weiyang Palace is a square style pattern, the emperor used various functional halls are in the center of the position, the side of the hall and the side of the east and west across the courtyard, is the office of each functional department.

Shaofu, because it is in charge of royal affairs, is located relatively backward, which is also the meaning of internal and external intimacy, in Li Han's understanding, it is similar to the General Office of the State Council, which is in the second side courtyard of Weiyang Palace.

Walking into this courtyard, a white and chubby middle-aged man wearing a dark robe, with a high crown of one and a half feet high, and a pair of red shoes with a cloud head on his feet, greeted him with great joy, and shouted from afar: "Oh, hairpin, the old man didn't go to greet him in person, it's rude." ”

Li Han's heart twitched, why, one by one, in their thirties, they opened and closed their mouths "old husband and old man", isn't this a disguised reminder to the master, "You are still a hairless little kid with a hairless mouth, give me some peace"? How unreasonable!

Slander is slander, Li Han also hurriedly bowed his hand and smiled: "Shaofuqing is polite, the kid doesn't know that the emperor's order is so urgent, and he didn't report to you in advance, but the kid is rude, don't blame it." ”

Shaofuqing's name is Tian Qi, and his ancestor is a personal guard who followed Gaozu to lead a horse and fall on a horse, and he suffered arrows for Gaozu, and later survived to Dashangzao, which is a sixteenth-class title that is thirteen levels older than Li Han, a third-class civil lord.

You must know that at that time, from the tenth-level Zuo Shu to the eighteenth-level Dashu Chief, the title was a military general, and the position was higher than Jiuqing in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was passed on to Tian Qi's generation.

Tian Qi is actually thirty-three years old, but because he has a white face, he has no beard. looks younger than Wang Luo, who is just twenty-nine years old, plus the Han Dynasty men generally do not live long, and they marry and have children early, and thirty-year-old men are everywhere as grandfathers, so the self-proclaimed old man is widely recognized by the society, and only Li Han, an extraterrestrial monster who fell in the deer, will feel angry.

Tian Qi has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, his legs and feet are diligent, and it is difficult for him to run around every day for royal procurement matters, but he can still eat so richly, which is enough to show that he is open-minded enough.

But this person also has shortcomings. is very snobbish, watching people cook well, it is not easy for idle officials to get a smile from him, the reason why Tian Qi accepted Li Han so politely and virtuously, the most fundamental reason is not because Li Han is the emperor's son-in-law, or a legendary person who has made great achievements, but because Tian Jueye is also a big landowner, and what he is worried about is the new grain that the Li family can produce more than 6,000 catties per mu.

Pulling Li Han's hand with a soft thick palm. The smile on Tian Qi's face never disappeared, and he entered the house hand in hand, still with a low table for each person, and a cushion behind him. Li Han was not used to kneeling on his calf, so he sat down cross-legged with grievances, and a cup of hot boiling water had already been delivered.

"Tian Gong, although the boy was promoted by the saint. served as a young man, but because he was young and knowledgeable, he had no relevant work experience. So it's just a name, and you still have full control over how to handle official business, but don't have any scruples just because the kid is here. ”

Tian Qi was very comfortable listening to Li Han's polite words, and when he heard that the hot hairpin lord was going to come to him as his deputy, Tian Qi was still very worried, for fear that this upstart would be young and vigorous, acting impulsively and recklessly, and taking away the authority he was in charge of, if it wasn't for the grain, I am afraid he would raise objections.

"Where did the horse speak, the old man of the dynasty meeting was also there, and I heard Zhang Gong describe how you showed the majesty of my Han people in the Huns, and the old man was amazed, if you say that you are young and shallow, I am afraid that the old man's age will live to the dog, hahaha!"

Li Han was surprised for a while, the phrase "living as old as a dog" originally existed in the Han Dynasty? Chinese culture really has a long history.

"That's Zhang Gong's praise for the boy, it's actually difficult to live up to his fame."

"The young man is young and promising, and he is not arrogant or impatient, which really makes the old man admire."

After talking politely for a while, Li Han didn't plan to continue, and said: "Since you have served as a young prince, even if you are pretending, you have to understand how to do our official business, otherwise when the emperor asks, the kid doesn't know what to ask, it will be too embarrassing, and I ask Tian Gong to give advice." ”

Tian Qi didn't hide his secrets, so he asked his subordinates to bring a lot of bamboo slips and explain them to Li Han one by one, which was actually to buy daily necessities for the royal family, as well as the share of money for each palace, the wages of eunuchs and palace maids, and trivial accounts such as canonization and rewards, as well as the taxes from rivers and ponds submitted by various counties.

Li Han said that he was young and didn't understand anything, but his hands and eyes were not idle, and he looked at the income and expenditure situation casually, and found that the taxes were pitiful, almost all of them were taxes provided by fishermen along the rivers and rivers, and the waterway operation was even more blank.

Not only that, but all the income of the vassal states was self-supporting and did not need to be paid to the imperial court, which made the already small tax unit lose several yuan.

Li Han came to Shaofu to take office, it was with the ambition of Lingyun to turn the world upside down, where is as he said to hang a name and do not do practical things, but the edge is not easy to show early, must wait for him to find out the composition of the Shaofu, stand firm and lay the foundation, and has been approved by the emperor before he can put forward a huge plan to connect the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and develop the waterway transportation industry.

Casually throwing down a roll of bamboo slips, Li Han said impatiently: "It's so trivial, it's dizzy to look at, and this bamboo slip is so heavy, it's inconvenient to look at, and it's inconvenient to move. ”

Tian Qi accompanied Li Han for a long time, in order to find an opportunity to ask for the Li family's magical species, at this moment, he could be regarded as having found a crack, and said with a smile: "Oh, yesterday I was receiving taxes from Hanoi County, and I didn't have time to see your family's harvest.

I heard that the grain production in the family of the horse lang is extremely high, and there are all kinds of novelties that I have never seen in the Han Dynasty, especially all kinds of paper are magical. ”

Li Han had already heard Tian Qi's purpose, and said with a smile: "Tian Gong doesn't have to regret it, you and I are colleagues, and we will get along every day in the future, and you can take my family's things at any time, it's not worth anything." ”

Tian Qi's eyes lit up, pulled the mat to Li Han, and whispered: "Don't hide it, there are also a lot of fields at home, I went home yesterday and mentioned to my wife, she really wants to get some potatoes and corn, I wonder if the horse can cut love and sell us a little seed?" ”

When Li Han heard this, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, which made Tian Qi's heart half cold, but he said: "Alas, it stands to reason that the seeds that my master got from the barbarian land in the extreme west, I shouldn't give them away, but who made you a colleague, others don't give it, how can Tian Gong not give it, so let's do it next spring, when I cultivate potato seedlings, I will leave some for Tian Gong, and the corn seeds will be given to you when it is time to sow them, but I don't know how many acres Tian Gong is going to plant?" ”

Tian Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, but in the end, he made a sudden sudden, and said in a squeaky voice: "Uh...... There are thousands of acres of land under the family, if you can plant them all......"

"Thousands of acres?" Li Han jumped up with a strange scream, and hurriedly said: "A few acres of land are just planted to eat fresh, how can you plant so much?"

Oh Tian Gong, I forgot that the queen mother asked me to go to her for a trip, that's it for today, and I'll come to work tomorrow. ”

Seeing Li Han fleeing in the wilderness, Tian Qi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "He still refuses to give more, so he can only buy it...... Hey, what do you mean when he says he's going to work tomorrow? ”

Li Han pretended to escape, but in fact, he still hung his appetite, walked out of the courtyard of Shaofu, and was walking along the wide corridor of Weiyang Palace, but saw a person coming out of the apse, full of majesty and momentum, and the tiger who walked the road looked angry, but it was not Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu's face was full of anger, his eyes were full of humiliation, he strode out with his arms thrown around, and when he raised his eyes and saw Li Han who wanted to slip away, he shouted loudly: "Li Han, come here!" ”

Li Han didn't expect to meet this master so coincidentally, this is an unlucky guy who is about to be unlucky, why do you have nothing to do with him, how good it is to sit on the wall and watch the excitement, alas, it looks like he can't hide.

Since he can't hide, then don't hide, Li Han simply straightened his waist, walked over without being humble or arrogant, and said, "What is the prime minister calling the kid?" ”

"The old man heard that you made a grain seed with a yield of 6,000 catties per mu, why didn't you give it to the court? You were made a lord at a young age, and you suddenly served as a young man, you should do your best to repay the emperor's kindness, how can you be so selfish and greedy for money? ”

Zhou Yafu was used to being strong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was reprimanded, and Li Han, who listened to it, felt uncomfortable, and said lightly: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, but the kid thinks that this grain is obtained by the master from the barbarian land of the Western Regions, and I have never heard of it since ancient times, and it has not caused any serious consequences, how can it be that because the kid has this grain seed, it is selfish to collect wealth if he does not give it to the court?" ”

"Hmph, don't be sophistry, the old man knows that you have extraordinary knowledge and some skills, so you don't put the old ministers of the court in your eyes, even the host and guest Zhang Fangda are used by you as a domestic slave, the old man reminds you that you will suffer if you are too domineering."

Li Han said with a smile: "The kid Xie Prime Minister taught, but the kid has something unclear, can I ask the prime minister?" Why did you come out of the palace in a rage? Don't you know that thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and you and the emperor are not arrogant? (To be continued......)

PS: The third update, ...... This is not to repay debts, but to start the third watch in earnest, don't you reward Xiao Li for the code words that make her work harder?
