"Oh, what's wrong, tell me about it." Uncle Li raised his eyelids and glanced at me, nodding at me with great interest. There are two reasons for this, one of which ...... "I seriously told those things that I had spent all night with the old man yesterday, and the old man and I pondered a word together were really very moving, at least among the people present, there was no one who could refute my statement."

Uncle Li was also moved, and after a while, Uncle Li said with a smile: "According to what the virtuous son-in-law said, take the county as the benchmark to test, whether it succeeds or fails, and also minimizes the damage. ”

In addition, choosing a county to improve, first avoiding the sphere of influence of the family gatekeeper, not only reduces the entanglement of the other party, but also reduces interference when doing work.

"Fang Aiqing, what do you think is the best place to choose?" Uncle Li moved his gaze to my old man. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that three conditions must be met when choosing a county to try the new law, one of which is that it must be close to Chang'an! Second, the composition of this county can not be too complicated, so that the chief official can focus on government affairs, rather than human relations, third, you can't choose a rich county, the rich county around Chang'an itself is full of businessmen, and the tax income is a lot, if the new law comes, those businessmen will inevitably flee to other places, but ......" After the old man's words were explained, Uncle Li and all the important ministers present agreed.

"The old minister seconded the proposal!" Uncle Li Jing and others all expressed their support for this proposal to Uncle Li. Uncle Li frequently bowed his head: "This is indeed the truth, businessmen pursue profits, and the actions of Fuxian County will indeed cause big fluctuations, and if it is close to Chang'an, the court can pay attention to it at any time and see the pros and cons. Do you have a candidate? ”

"Wechen asks Your Majesty to allow Wechen to do the county order." At this time, I expressed my opinion to Uncle Li before many important officials of the court opened their mouths.

"Virtuous son-in-law, aren't you joking with the old man?" Uncle Li was also taken aback by my behavior, subconsciously plucked out his ears, and when he saw my sincere expression, he still asked with doubts.

I respectfully bowed to Uncle Li: "Weichen doesn't dare. Weichen does have this heart, and it is the duty and obligation of Weichen to do more things for the court and share some worries for His Majesty. ”

------------------------------------------------ "Don't make such a joke with Your Majesty, the county order of only six or seven grades is what the four important ministers of the dynasty and His Majesty's beloved son-in-law can do?" Aren't you embarrassing Your Majesty? Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to choose a good official from the ministry. After the eldest grandson Wuji looked surprised, such a long list of words kept popping out of his mouth.

Uncle Li looked at me with a hesitant expression: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you know that my Tang Jing County Order is only five grades, and other county orders are only six grades, and the lower ones are only from the seventh grade." Do you really want to be the mayor of a county? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not the son-in-law boasting, Datang, who is more familiar with the new tax law than the son-in-law, and who can better understand the problems encountered in the tax reform? Although the son-in-law has no experience in governing the people, the son-in-law is willing to ask for a demotion and set up a model pilot for my Datang. "I knelt down towards Uncle Li, and I couldn't stand on the ground, anyway, my son is young, and it doesn't hurt to play a dead dog, and pretend to be a scoundrel.

Now, everyone has quieted down, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the officials who have been demoted and exiled, there are occasional demotion to serve, but there will never be a precedent for the four-grade officials to serve as county orders, even if it is the Jingxian order of Chang'an, it is only on the fifth grade, and there is a full six levels of difference between the fourth grade, you know, the official on the fourth grade can be the governor of a state, and I, but I voluntarily demoted to be a county commander, which can not help but make everyone dumbfounded.

Even the eldest grandson Yin and Chu Suiliang were stunned, and Uncle Li was even more surprised: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you know that the county we chose will definitely not be Chang'an, and the Jingxian order is only on the fifth grade, even if I can really find a suitable county within the range of Gyeonggi on the edge of Chang'an for you to take up the post, it is only on the sixth grade, that is a full twelve levels apart, are you willing?" ”

"The minister doesn't care about the size of the official position, what he cares about is just being in his position, and seeking his own government, and doing what he can." I said this in a grand manner, and now, the look of surprise on Uncle Li's face disappeared, and he looked at me with admiration and joy in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister still thinks it's inappropriate, or else, it's better to choose another good official, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family." The eldest grandson Yin also wanted to persuade Uncle Li. Uncle Li smiled and raised his hand to stop the eldest grandson Yinren's speech, and his eyes fell on my old man. "Fang Lao Aiqing, I want to hear what you mean."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the idea of the dog is a little whimsical, it is also a good policy, in addition, the person who revised the new "Tang Tax Law" is a dog, if it is successful, it will be the blessing of the people of the world, but if the new tax law is not successful, it will hurt the national body and damage the trust of the Tang Dynasty court of our country, and the crime is in the dog." As soon as the old man said this, no one objected anymore.

The old man's meaning is very clear, if he succeeds, it is the success of the court, and it is the wise guidance of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"A loyal and good ......" Uncle Li sighed, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, as if he was a little moved, but he seemed hesitant. Your Majesty, the minister felt that the words of Lord Fang and Lord Xiao Fang were not inappropriate, and this strategy could be used, which was far better than choosing another official to do this. Ma Zhou spoke.

Immediately after Uncle Li Jing, Gao Shilian and other old ministers also seconded the proposal, Uncle Li bowed slightly: "The virtuous son-in-law has such good intentions, if the old man refuses again, won't it make the world laugh at me for not separating public and private?" Anyway, if you have any other requirements, the old man will allow you. ”

As soon as Uncle Li said this, I was greatly relieved: "Weichen asks His Majesty to grant the minister the right to use the virtuous. ”

------------------------------------------------ "Do you want the power to appoint and dismiss adjutants?" Hehe, what's so difficult about this, I agreed, with the rank of four grades, the county order, I am wronged by you, if I don't even agree to this request, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed, hehehe, by the way, the old man wants to ask the virtuous son-in-law, what do you think about the location? Uncle Li stroked his beard and smiled.

"The minister thinks that the best place is Weinan County in the Gyeonggi region." I racked my brains last night, and I thought again and again with the old man before throwing out the best position I had just chosen.

"Weinan County?" Uncle Li stretched out his finger and tapped his head, as if he hadn't heard it. "Your Majesty Weinan County is located in the east of Chang'an City, located in Gyeonggi, belongs to Gi County, is a middle county, with a population of less than 4,000 households, although it is in the transportation area, but there is no special product, that is, during this period of time, the coal production is quite abundant, in order to supply Chang'an." Ma Zhou opened his mouth, and the information of Weinan flowed out.

The current Weinan is not the Weinan City of later generations, but only refers to the small place where the Tang Dynasty is now a county, because it is too close to Chang'an, and the rich families in the city mostly go to Chang'an, not far to the east is Huazhou, and to the north, it is Tongzhou. To the south, Shangzhou is not far away.

Therefore, although Weinan County can be regarded as a traffic artery, however, it does not represent how its current development is in place, in addition to coal, there are almost no other specialties, well, it has not been mined or excavated, at least, the location of Weinan is excellent, the transportation is convenient, and the cement straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang passes by, although everyone regards this place as just a passing stop, but, in my eyes, to get rich, first build roads, this, has Uncle Li done it for me, in addition, Compared with Chang'an, it is only an inconspicuous satellite county town, and it is under the nose of Chang'an, so the Juntian system here is the most perfect, and the family gate valve is not interested in this kind of broken place, and there are no forces involved in it. In this way, for what I want to do next, I can naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

"Are you sure you want to go to Weinan County first? Son-in-law, if not, you can choose another place. "When Uncle Li heard Ma Zhou's words, he became worried for me.

I shook my head with a resolute expression: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but Weichen really thinks that Weinan is the best choice in his mind." "I insisted again and again, and Uncle Li had to agree to my request and announce that the general plan of the matter would be handled accordingly." Anyway, Weinan County to Chang'an is only a hundred miles, and you can reach it within an hour, anyway, you don't have much government affairs here, so I won't give up your other positions, with the rank of four grades and the order of Weinan County, you are the first person in my Tang Dynasty, hehehe......"
