Chapter Ninety-Three: Lou Shide knows gratitude
Man is a very strange creature.
His outward performance is largely due to his position, and as long as he is given a position, he will match his actions to his position in a very short time.
When a person is a small person, he may be submissive, once he becomes a county magistrate the next day, believe me, within ten days, he will be able to control the position of the county magistrate very well, and whether he is a qualified magistrate or not, at least, his behavior seems to be a county magistrate.
This kind of simple identity change is a piece of cake for people like Lou Shide.
In addition to the Zhan Mansion, Li Hong's East Palace also has a door and a fang, a rate change, a servant Sanqing, a left and right guard, a prince's guest and a library, but on the whole, it is still mainly to educate the prince and deal with affairs within the scope of the East Palace.
In addition to these departments and officials equipped by the imperial court, there are also princes, concubines, ancestors, sheren, Zhan Shi, and family orders.
Once the prince gets married, the court must also equip the prince with six rates, temple people, palace e, and arrange the inner court, so that the prince's east palace will become a small court.
Li Hong made a heavy bet on Lou Shide, and directly gave the position of Jia Lingcheng to Lou Shide, so that this official from the eighth grade became an official from the sixth grade of the Tang Dynasty overnight.
Lou Shide, who had a round belly, walked into the East Palace with a leisurely step, and after being in it for a long time, he wanted to flee in a panic......
He had never heard of, and had never seen such a poor prince.
In the huge East Palace, the treasury was empty, and the only things that could fill the warehouse were peppers, shallots, beets, cabbage, and a few grains.
Just when Lou Shide was thinking about how to get out of the East Palace and find his own way out, he met the crown prince Li Hong.
When he met the prince, the prince was eating, and when Lou Shide came in, the prince immediately stopped eating and warmly invited him to eat together.
Such behavior should have been very rude, but when Lou Shide saw the prince's innocent eyes and heartfelt enthusiasm, Lou Shide was also invited to take a seat.
The prince's lunch was very simple, one lamb stewed with shallots, one fried tofu, one cabbage stir-fried with chili, and then a cabbage soup.
The meal is double rice made from white rice mixed with millet.
The prince very enthusiastically pushed the only meat and vegetable scallion stewed mutton on the table in front of Lou Shide, and poured cabbage soup on the double rice, which was very sweet.
These things can't be faked. The sweet appearance of the prince's food can't be faked.
Lou Shide watched the prince finish a few dishes, and finally poured the cabbage soup into the rice bowl, soaked the cabbage soup with a little bit of rice, and ate it cleanly.
After the prince finished eating, of course Lou Shide also finished eating, and what he learned from the prince ate the meat and vegetables cleanly.
Tang people don't talk when they eat together, of course, this is not the case when they eat at the Yun family, because when they eat at the Yun family, Li Hong has the most nonsense.
Lou Shide looked around, looked at the dilapidated appearance of the East Palace, sighed, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spent time in simplicity. ”
Li Hong said with a smile: "What Lou Lingcheng said is that the Lone King is not a person who advocates simplicity, however, the East Palace is like this now, and the Lone King has no choice but to have a good reputation for simplicity." ”
Lou Shide turned slightly sideways towards Li Hong and said: "Wechen heard that the prince had a fief when he was four years old, even if he didn't manage it well, it wouldn't be short of His Highness's usefulness, but what Wechen saw and heard today is not in line with the legend." ”
Li Hong said with a smile: "The lone king's fief is rich, and he produces a lot every year, but it's a pity that my Tang Dynasty has a huge territory, and there are always local people who have many disasters and difficulties...... In short, as long as there is still a place in need of relief in this world, the output of the lone king's fief will be used to support it. ”
Lou Shide frowned and said, "How can this be? ”
Li Hong waved his hand heroically and said: "There is only one person in the East Palace now, as long as there is money and food to pay the salaries of the subordinate officials, the lonely king will be satisfied." ”
Lou Shide was a little moved by Li Hong's words, and couldn't help but admonish: "Your Highness is my prince of the Tang Dynasty, if your majesty is insufficient, you can't make your subordinates obey, even if Your Highness has a heart that loves the people, he should behave in moderation, and he must not damage the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help the victims."
After a long time, those who take away the interest from His Highness's fiefdom will gain an inch, and as long as they encounter a disaster, they will hit His Highness's idea as soon as possible.
In this way, in their eyes, His Royal Highness is no longer the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and they will only think that His Highness is weak and can be bullied. ”
Li Hong smiled: "This is nothing, as long as the money and food can be used on the people, the lonely king has no complaints."
Just like the fiefdom income in the past two years was taken by the queen mother to arrange the women's and baby's hall, this is real good governance, as long as this matter is handled well, my Datang will live more mothers and babies.
King Gu thought that this matter could not be postponed, as for the use of the East Palace, Lou Lingcheng did not need to worry too much, King Gu planted a large number of new crops in the East Palace, plus the lotus root of Qujiang Pond, and after a year, he also got a lot of money......"
Li Hong did everything he could ask and answer, and he said everything, without concealment, without exculpation, and without resentment, his eyes were full of the Tang court, the people of the Tang Dynasty, but not himself.
When the prince played right, Lou Shide had a preliminary determination about the young man in front of him in terms of knowledge, high knowledge, and broad-mindedness-if the prince ascended the throne as the emperor, the people of the Tang Dynasty would still have a good life for decades.
When leaving the East Palace, the wild grass on the wall, which was originally very unsightly, was blown by the north wind at this time, and it also inexplicably produced a bit of heroic spirit that would rather bend than bend.
The first meeting with Li Hong made Lou Shide no longer have any resistance to being forced to come to the East Palace as an official.
To be an official to the prince, the most terrible thing is to meet a bastard prince, when encountering such a prince, not only must he go against his will, but also bear the consequences of what he has done indiscriminately under the command of the prince.
Now, at least half of the blocks in Lou Shide's heart have been put down, the prince is a very good young man, although he is somewhat immature and aggressive when he does things, but this is nothing, the prince is only thirteen years old this year after all, if the prince can do everything properly, what else do you want them to do with these subordinate officials?
The most important point is that this prince is very good at listening to the advice of his subordinates, and is not the kind of person who is like swallowing an iron rod and stubbornly does not listen to any good words.
As for the prince's poverty, Lou Shide thinks that this is a big joke, as long as the prince is willing to say that he is short of money, within half a day, the treasury of the East Palace will be full of money.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed poor, the huge East Palace, except for some splendid scenery that can be seen in the Prince's Bedroom, the rest of the places are old.
Of course, the prince also has a valuable martial arts arena, which is worth a lot of money about the various weapons in the martial arts arena, as well as the seven or eight priceless BMW horses in the stable.
】
For this point, Lou Shide felt that it was nothing, the emperors at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty were all immediately the Son of Heaven, and if the imperial prince did not know anything about Wuxun, this would make Lou Shide look down on him.
After watching the prince perform martial arts, Lou Shide felt that in martial arts, the prince had really worked hard.
As long as the prince can maintain his current state of mind, this Tang Dynasty will have at least a hundred years of prosperity to say, said.
Back in the house, his wife You Shi greeted him and asked, "Did my husband's errand go well on the first day today?" ”
Lou Shide pressed the jade belt around his waist with both hands and said, "It looks very good at the moment, and the prince is also a benevolent and virtuous king." ”
You Shi said with a smile on his face: "That's good, that's good, the concubine is afraid that she will commit a crime, and the husband who will harm her will not be happy." ”
Lou Shide looked at his wife and said sternly: "It's just this once, if you dare to admit something I don't know in the future, I will definitely not spare you." ”
You Shi said embarrassedly: "The concubine body is also a temporary lake, and it will definitely not be in the future, even if someone comes with a basket of copper coins, the concubine body will not agree." ”
Lou Shide sighed, his wife is good anywhere, but she was born in a merchant family and does not have much long-term knowledge.
If it is a basket of brocade, a basket of gold, a basket of pearls, and precious stones?
When the time comes, I can't say that I will have to paint the lake again.
Lou Shide wanted to say it more harshly, recalling that since his wife married at the age of fourteen, he served his in-laws, helped his younger brother, and took care of housework, until he sent his in-laws away, and his younger brother grew up.
This made Lou Shide feel that he owed his wife a lot.
How many words turned into a long sigh when they reached his mouth...... This is his fate, and it is the fate of his Lou Shide.
The crown prince gave himself a high enough official position and courtesy, and Lou Shide even firmly believed that the prince could undress and push food for his subordinate officials...... In this case, he must show his ability to be worthy of the prince's courtesy, otherwise, he will not be a qualified courtier.
At present, the first thing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to solve is the poverty problem of the East Palace.
If you want to solve the problem of the prince's poverty, it is definitely not a simple way to make money, and it is estimated that the prince is not very interested in money.
For a place like the East Palace, materials come first.
In the dead of night, his wife and children were already asleep, but Lou Shide's chest seemed to be stuffed with a piece of coal, which made him unable to sleep for a long time.
So, he got up in his clothes, came to the study, lit the wick, sat at the desk and thought for a long time, then picked up a pen and wrote the first piece of music in his life on paper - "The Minister Invites Longyou Tuntian Shu".
