Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 545 Li Er is determined to win the bird droppings

Li Er originally had a bewildered expression.

But the expression of Yan Sigu, the living officer, was too exaggerated.

Yan Sigu's face and eyes were crowded together, looking very embarrassed.

"Haha... Yan Sigu, this is not an illusion. The corn seedlings I planted in the back garden have doubled in height!"

Li Er pointed at Yan Sigu and laughed, completely without the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ahem...Your Majesty, stop making fun of Weichen, Weichen wants to register your embarrassing deeds!"

Yan Sigu was furious, and immediately splashed ink to write down the embarrassment of Li Er passing by the back garden this morning.

Li Er was shocked and angry. He said angrily: "Yan Sigu, don't forget that I made a fool of myself just now!"

Yan Sigu insisted on his opinion and said: "Your Majesty, you can either fire Wei Chen or accept Wei Chen's supervision!"

The living officer is a close minister of the emperor, not everyone can be it!
The reason why Yan Sigu is qualified to be a living official is because the Yan family is a family of farming and studying!
The great Confucianists of the Yan family also served as living officials in the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, the official position of Yan Sigu as a living officer can be regarded as a family inheritance!

Not everyone is qualified to serve as a living officer.

If Li Er registers that he made a fool of himself today because of Yan Sigu, Yan Sigu will be dismissed and investigated.

In the future, Li Er will definitely be written by the great Confucianism of the Yan family.

A foolish king's hat may be worn on Li Er's head!

"Okay, I don't know as much as you anymore!"

Li Er weighed it up, but in the end he still didn't dare to pursue Yan Sigu's matter.

And Yan Sigu did nothing wrong!
Yan Sigu said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, I dare not do my duty as a courtier, I will not be grateful to you!"

"Eh...Yan Sigu, I'm going to the morning court, you don't have to follow!"

Li Er was afraid of Yan Sigu, so he ran away immediately.

In the early court, officials from the secretary province registered the content of the court meeting, so there is no need for the living officer to follow!

This time Yan Sigu wisely didn't pester Li Er.

After a while, Li Er took the prince out of the Ganlu Hall and hurried to the Xuanzheng Hall.

And Yan Sigu had nothing to do, so he simply went to the Hongwen Museum to supervise the princes and daughters' studies.

……

After a stick of incense, Li Er finally arrived at Xuanzheng Hall!
Wang Gonggong then went out to check whether all the civil and military officials had arrived.

"Your Majesty, except for the officials from Zhongshu Province who have not come yet, all other officials have arrived!"

Wang Gonggong soon left and returned.

Li Er frowned and said, "Why do the officials of Zhongshu Province come last and leave first every morning?"

"Um... Your Majesty, this is probably the bad atmosphere brought by eldest grandson Shunde and has nothing to do with little Yuchi!"

Wang Gonggong thought for a while before answering Li Er cautiously.

Li Er nodded in approval and said: "Eldest Sun Shunde is really too lazy, if I didn't see it for Guanyin's sake, I would have dismissed him long ago!"

The prince did not dare to answer Li Er's question, because the matter involved Empress Changsun!

As a slave of the Li family, the prince is only obedient to Li Er and Empress Changsun!
Although Li Er was angry with Sun Shunde, Changsun Shunde was considered his direct confidant, so it was impossible for him to really punish Changsun Shunde.

After a while, Yuchihuan and Changsun Shunde finally came to the Xuanzheng Palace with officials from Zhongshu Province.

"Your Majesty, all civil and military officials have arrived!"

The prince was overjoyed, and he immediately went to inform Li Er.

Li Er stood up and said, "Let's go to court!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

Wang Gonggong immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

"His Majesty is here!"

Wang Gonggong held Buddha dust in his hand, and immediately shouted when he came to Xuanzheng Hall.

Li Erlong walked like a tiger, showing power without being angry, and all the civil and military officials of the Xuanzheng Palace shut up instantly!

In an instant, the hall of Xuanzheng could be heard.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

After a while, all civil and military officials paid homage to Li Er in unison.

Li Er sat on the dragon chair with a golden knife, pressed his hands and said: "My dear friends, please be flat!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

All civil and military officials straightened their waists in unison, and began today's morning court meeting.

This time, Eunuch Wang didn't speak, but Li Er did!

Li Ersu said solemnly: "Dear dears, I woke up today and found that the corn seedlings and sweet potato seedlings that were fertilized have grown half their height. Does anyone of you have the same experience as me?"

The eldest grandson Wuji came out and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I fertilized the potato field in the backyard yesterday, and today the potato seedlings have grown half their height!"

Li Jing also joined in and said, "Your Majesty, the crops that have been sprayed with bird droppings have grown by more than half their height!"

Then Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Shunde, Fang Xuanling and other princes and relatives who had backyards in Chang'an City all came out to echo Li Er's words.

As for those officials who don't have backyards to grow vegetables in Chang'an City, they can only be listeners.

When Li Er saw that all the civil and military officials highly praised bird droppings, he suddenly said with great joy: "So, bird droppings can indeed be used as fertilizer to fertilize fields!"

Grandson Shunde raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the fertility of bird dung is better than that of cow dung and sheep dung. The two cannot be compared!"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Your Majesty, bird droppings are beneficial to the country and the people. I suggest that the court send a large number of merchant ships to the sea to carry the bird droppings back to the fertile fields of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Er nodded in approval and said: "Fang Xuanling, your remonstrance is good, I will follow through!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

Fang Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried just now that Li Er would not agree.

Next, the civil and military officials began to discuss the distribution of bird droppings!

Datang has ten provinces, hundreds of states, and more than 2000 counties!

Some of these states and counties are far away in Mobei, where they live by herding sheep.

Some prefectures and counties are in the southwest, with many mountain roads, and food cannot be shipped out.

Not to mention transporting bird droppings into the fertile fields.

Today these remote states and counties mainly grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Guano is good for those in coastal states.

For example, Lingnan Road and Huainan Road, where the commerce is developed, there are many merchant ships and fishing boats, and you can go to sea anytime, anywhere!

How to distribute the guano is also a test for Li Er!

Because the civil and military officials of the imperial court come from all corners of the country, they must support their hometown!

It is impossible for Li Er to satisfy everyone.

After half an hour of fierce quarreling, the civil and military officials finally discussed a result that everyone was happy with.

Li Er announced: "Guano is an artifact that benefits the country and the people. I approve Lingnan, Jiangnan, Henan, Huainan, Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Hedong sailors to carry guano to sea!"

Datang Ten Dao, all Daozhou near the coast can go to sea to carry guano.

As for Shannan Road and Guannei Road, they are too far from the sea, so there is no need to go to sea to carry guano.

Otherwise, you will lose money if you travel thousands of kilometers back and forth.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the civil and military officials immediately flattered Li Er.

Li Er then continued: "All the guano brought back by the Datang Navy will be sold by the household department, and [-]% of the money and food obtained will be used to develop the roads of Shannan Road and Guannei Road!"

Civil and military officials once again agreed with Li Er's will.
