"Aren't you in the county office today?"

"what?"

Lawyer Pei was taken aback, and quickly smiled: "Aye, how did you find out?"

"Today, the county government has nothing to do, so I will take Pei Li and the others to find a great sage and ask some questions!"

"Humph!"

Pei Ji snorted coldly, as a left servant, the most unsightly thing is that officials leave their posts privately and ignore political affairs.

"Pei Xiangyou went to look for you, and it was already Xushi when you came back. After such a long time, you must not be in the county government office!"

"Aye really has sharp eyes, and I can't hide anything from you!"

Lawyer Pei smiled apologetically.

"You said you went to find Daxian?"

Pei Ji ignored Lawyer Pei and continued to ask, "There are still great sages living in seclusion around Chang'an?"

"Aye, I also happened to discover this great sage this year."

Speaking of this, Lawyer Pei couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

"This great sage lives in seclusion in a mountain village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Today, my boy is going to ask for advice on farming techniques!"

"Oh? This great sage has a lot of research on farming?"

A hint of interest finally appeared on Pei Ji's indifferent face.

At this time, Pei Ji is still Datang's Zuo Pushe, the prime minister.

However, Li Er has not yet started to use the reason that Pu She should be a visiting talent, and Shang Shuxing's left and right ministers will handle the government affairs in an all-round way to evade Pu She's power.

Therefore, Pei Ji in this meeting not only needs to deal with the big and small government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but also needs to visit talents.

Lawyer Pei's words pierced Pei Ji's heart immediately.

"Aye, a small mountain village that was barren last year couldn't even pay the land rent. With the help of this talented person, it can actually pay the labor fee this year."

"Moreover, the fertile land in their village can yield three or even four stones per mu!"

"One mu harvests three or four stones of grain?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his face was full of light.

As Zuo Pushe, he can best understand how important it is to Datang if an acre of fertile land can reach four stones, or even three stones.

To put it bluntly, as long as that talented person really has a way to produce three stones per mu of good land, all the people in the Tang Dynasty will no longer be hungry.Even, in just two years, Datang's national strength can be fully restored.

In this way, it can be called a great achievement. In Datang, as long as he doesn't rebel, he can walk sideways.

"Are you sure about this?"

Thinking about it, Pei Ji couldn't help breathing a lot.

"Aye, this is what I saw with my own eyes, it's absolutely true!"

Lawyer Pei nodded solemnly.

"What is the name of that sage, and where is he from? Tomorrow, you and I will go look for that sage!" Pei Ji said.

At the same time, under a moment of excitement, he sat up directly.

"hiss……"

However, he forgot that the pain in his waist hadn't completely healed up, and before he could sit upright, there was a sharp pain.

The painful old face wrinkled into a ball!

This time, lawyer Pei was taken aback.

He quickly rushed to the edge of the bed, supported Pei Ji, and slowly let Pei Ji continue to lie flat.

"Aye, you suffer from back disease and cannot continue to work hard. Moreover, His Majesty has such an attitude towards you. In a few years, His Majesty will definitely find a reason to let Fang Xuanling take over your position. Why do you Do you still work so hard every day?"

Lawyer Pei's heart ached.

"When do you need to take care of your father's affairs?"

Pei Ji's face was serious, and he scolded with staring eyes.

"Quickly tell me everything about that talented man!"

"Yes!"

Ugh!

Lawyer Pei sighed secretly, feeling helpless towards Aye's attitude.

I can only tell the story of Li Xuan, back and forth, completely.

Even in the evening, Li Xuan's delicious food was not left behind!

"Hmph, you unfilial son!"

But he didn't want to, just after finishing speaking, he found that Aye's face turned dark.

Lawyer Pei was about to ask a question when he saw a maid walking in with a bowl of almond porridge.

Seeing this, lawyer Pei shut up directly, not daring to say anything more.

He saluted Pei Ji respectfully, and then took his leave.

slipped away!

If you don't leave, you will really be punished!

In this regard, Pei Ji, whose mouth was full of porridge, could only stare helplessly.

However, Pei Ji couldn't help frowning slightly when he thought of the little master that lawyer Pei had mentioned!

A young master who is only eighteen years old, not only knows how to teach, but also is proficient in farming, and the skill of cooking is also at its peak, and even the house is full of novel and useful furniture, very similar to the skills of the Mohist school!

Such a young person has so many abilities, could it be that he is a monster?

……

Chapter 14 Go to Lijiazhuang!

It seems that lawyer Pei has really become an unfilial son.

All night long, Pei Ji's mind was full of the talented young master that lawyer Pei had mentioned!

It's just that, no matter what the experienced Wei Guogong thinks after three dynasties, he still doesn't understand why that little master has so many abilities.

It wasn't until the morning that Pei Ji sat in a carriage and headed for the palace with two pairs of dark circles under his eyes, supported by his servants.

However, after the entire meeting, Pei Ji was in a trance.

Li Shimin and all the former officials of the Qin Palace noticed this, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

All the former ministers of Prince Qin's Mansion know that His Majesty has old grudges with this Zuo Servant.Therefore, unless it was necessary, they never took the initiative to speak to this Zuo Pushe.

Even some narrow-minded generals who acted roughly would find faults if they had nothing to do!

"Hey, Your Majesty, it seems that old man Pei suffered a lot from his back disease last night!"

After going down to court, seeing Pei Ji hurrying towards the house, all the officials did not try to stop him, but a group of military generals looked at Pei Ji's back with sneers all over his face.

"Bite gold, be careful!"

Li Shimin, who was kneeling behind the table, raised his head and glanced at the tall, tall and thick man below.

This person is Su Guogong, General Cheng Yaojin of Youwuwei.

"What Duke Wei said, he is also a hero for the founding of the country. Nowadays, it's just that he is old and has some old problems in his body, which is normal!"

"Your Majesty, that's old man Pei. He's doing it on his own. He's already almost unable to walk, yet he insists on occupying the position of Zuo Servant!"

Cheng Yaojin still looked disdainful.

Obviously, there is a big prejudice against Pei Ji.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Li Wei came in from outside the hall and walked quickly to Li Shimin, obviously having something to report.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin stood up straight away, cupping his hands: "Your Majesty, I think I still have something to do at home, so I take my leave first!"

At the same time, several ministers on the side also retreated with great expressions.

"What's the matter?"

After everyone left, Li Shimin asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when I came back yesterday, I encountered a carriage on the way to Li's Village. It has been found out today that the person in that carriage is Dalang of Duke Wei's family, Lawyer Pei!"

"Lawyer Pei?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, "I remember he was the magistrate of Lantian County? Why did he go to Wannian County?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is a caravan from the Pei family who discovered the unusualness of the Li family village when they were collecting the mountain goods. Therefore, lawyer Pei knew about the young master!"

Li Wei said quickly.

"Is the Li family village unusual?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed something was wrong.

"Li Wei, you can find out what is so unusual about the Li Family Village that Lawyer Pei went to the Li Family Village in person to find the little master!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this matter is due to the negligence of the ministers!"

Li Wei's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down directly, saying: "A few days ago, the ministers have been checking the information of that little master, but they have neglected to check Li Jiazhuang. Today, I only found out that the little master After coming to Lijiazhuang for two years, the first thing I did was to teach the villagers in Lijiazhuang to farm."

"Farming?"

"Your Majesty, in the first year, under the guidance of the young master, all the fertile fields in Li Family Manor had yielded three stones per mu; and this year, those fertile fields in Li Family Village near the Ju River can yield four stones per mu!"

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Li Shimin's face changed drastically, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Li Wei, are you sure that it really yields four stones per mu?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I sent people to investigate it twice, and it is absolutely true. Therefore, I dare to report to Your Majesty!"

Li Wei quickly replied.

"Four stones per mu, four stones!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face couldn't stand anymore, and his face was full of joy.

Unable to read the memorial in his hand, he stood up and walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back.

"Okay, okay, God bless me Datang!"

"With this kind of cultivation technique, with this great sage, just give me two years... no, only one year, and the Tang Dynasty will be able to restore its national strength. When the time comes, Xiaoer Jieli..."

After a while, he stopped suddenly.

"Li Wei, hurry up and change into plain clothes, I'm going to meet that little master!"

"Yes!"

Li Wei hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

Immediately, he walked out quickly.

……

After half an hour.

A carriage without any markings, under the guard of a group of servants with swords, drove out from the Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City.

Go all the way south.

at the same time.

Pei Ji, who returned to the mansion, called lawyer Pei directly.

"Baby has seen Aye!"
