The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"My lord, the Ministry of Industry has sent someone over."

"Oh, let's go and have a look."

After leaving court, Li Wen went to the imperial study to meet the emperor, and when he came out of the palace, he heard that the Ministry of Industry had sent someone over.He went to the Ministry of Works yesterday, and today the Ministry of Works sent the responsible master here. The people from the Ministry of Works didn't need him to urge him to come here. He remembered this favor!

When they arrived, they had already seen someone tidying up the yard.

"The little one has seen Master Li."

Li Wen had just come out of the palace, Li Wen was still wearing an official uniform, and Li Liuyuan was the only young official in the court, and he was instantly recognizable.Li Wen smiled and greeted the master in charge. In such a sunny weather, there were still people repairing the tiles on the roof. The Ministry of Industry arranged a lot of people to come over, "You are welcome, master. Thank you for your hard work."

They went inside and saw that everyone was busy.

"We are in a hurry to use this place. See, master, can you tidy up the front side first in these two days, and it doesn't matter if the back is done slowly." Li Wen put forward his several requirements, the most important thing is to Hurry up, it's best to tidy up the facade first within a day or two, and tidy up two rooms for them to use temporarily, and it doesn't matter if you put the backyard side in the back and deal with it later.

"All right, I will keep an eye on the little one here, and I will clean it up for Mr. Li as soon as possible." The master in charge said.

"It's hard work for everyone." Li Wen said a few words to the master in charge, and it happened that it was almost noon at this time, so he proposed to invite the master to have a meal.

"No need, no need, this is the job of the little ones, and the little ones must do it for Master Li as soon as possible." The master in charge of the work is clear in his heart, what is his identity, how can he afford Master Li Inviting him to dinner, Busy politely declined.

Li Wen didn't force it, knowing that others were busy here, so it was not good to disturb others' work.

But he still had to eat, so he asked people to go to the restaurant to order lunch for the next few days, and he would send some meat dishes and cages of big white rotten heads every day, as well as a bucket of mung bean soup every day.This time is the hottest time in the capital, the sun is shining brightly, these hard labor workers are working very hard, everyone can work hard when they are full, and the mung bean soup can also relieve the heat.

He can still afford the money for a few meals, as long as everyone is full and serious about doing things for him.

"My lord, His Royal Highness sent someone to look for you."

"Yeah I got it〇"

Just after the master in charge here finished his explanation, someone came over and said that the crown prince was looking for him. Li Wen greeted the master and asked the master to go to work. Li Wen got on the carriage that came to pick him up and went to See His Royal Highness.

"Ah Chen, you send this to Zhang Qing at the newspaper office, and ask them to arrange the layout as soon as possible today, and then send it to Zhang Zhang, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and send it out early tomorrow morning." Li Wen told Ah Chen the message to be sent tomorrow. , let Ah Chen send it to the newspaper office, Zhang Qing is now in charge of the newspaper office, and he will entrust Zhang Qing to deal with important matters.

"Yes, my lord."

On the way, Ah Chen temporarily left to deliver things to the adults.

Zhang Qing, who was in the newspaper office, got the things sent by their adults, looked through them, and couldn't help being excited in his heart, "Please tell the adults, we will deal with it now, and there will definitely be no problems."

After delivering the things, Ah Chen went back to his lord and returned to his life.

The carriage stopped, Li Wen got off the carriage, saw the man standing beside the carriage, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Did His Royal Highness ask you to pick me up?"

"I know you're coming, so I'll come pick you up."

Zhao Xiangyi stretched out his hand, Li Wen took the man's hand, stepped on the stool and got off the carriage.

"It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about, and I want you to do me a little favor." It was already midnight when he finished his work last night, so it's not good to continue talking about business. Li Wen was thinking of waiting for the business to change. After the proposal was passed, it would not be too late to talk to Zhao Xiangyi about it.

Today, the business reform proposal has passed, and it happens that he has something to do here and needs Zhao Xiangyi's help to cooperate with him. "Well, what's the matter, tell me." Zhao Xiangyi didn't ask anything, but no matter what it was, as long as it was brought up by a young man, even if it was a mountain of swords or a pan of oil, he would definitely be willing to do so.

"Let's go see His Highness first, and we'll talk about this later." Li Wen said.

This is not a place to talk. While they were talking, they walked to the door of the wing room and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waiting inside.

After saluting, Li Wen sat down opposite the prince.

Since Zhao Xiangyi confessed to him last time that he was with Li Liuyuan, when he saw these two people together again, Yang Shaomu finally understood what he had neglected before.Seeing the young man sitting in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Li Wen is a man of great talent, this man can help him on his way to the throne of God, and also help him to manage the country and society in the future, such a man is worth his effort to win over people.Not to mention Zhao Xiangyi, this person is his companion, the Zhao family is in charge of the army in the west, guarding the border gates, and the Zhao family is his strongest backing.

These two people, one civil and one military, are people who will be useful to his country and society in the future.

Comparing the two, the love between children is nothing. Yang Shaomu knows better than anyone how to make a choice.

"Li Liuyuan, please sit down." Yang Shaomu asked about the renovation of the government office of the Ministry of Commerce. He only found out about this matter yesterday. He knew that some officials below deliberately made things difficult for Li Wen. Naturally, he also knew that Li Wen went there Ministry of Industry.

"The Ministry of Industry has arranged for people to repair it, and it will be repaired soon." It's useless to be angry. Instead of wasting time getting angry, it's better to think about how to solve this problem, Li Wen said.

Today, Li Wen raised the issue of commercial reform in the court, and they talked about the reform of commercial tax.

"...Let's take this place in the capital as a pilot point first, and then move to the surrounding area." Li Wen told His Highness the Crown Prince some of his ideas. This is the foot of the emperor, and the emperor is here. It must be easier for them to implement it in the capital. As for the local area If it is up, it will be arranged separately, "We are currently going to do a good job in the capital and make a good start."

Yang Shaomu naturally agrees with Li Wen's statement. He will not think that the reform of commercial tax is of little use like some short-sighted officials.

The fact that Li Wen could mention it, and that he was willing to put so much effort into dealing with officials, instinctively told him that this matter must be important.This is not a blind belief in Li Wen, but from the things Li Wen mentioned, he heard different views from what he had known before, and these things were new to him.

The more I got in touch with him, the more I found that Li Wen was like a treasure, and I could always hear some new viewpoints and ideas from Li Wen, which he had never had contact with and heard from the Tai Tuo before.Just like the business reform this time, he subconsciously told him that Li Wen would definitely bring him a huge surprise this time.

After answering the prince's doubts, Li Wen looked at Zhao Xiangyi and asked for his help.

Although the Ministry of Commerce has been established, it doesn't even have an office, so it has a name.But with this name, they can do some things here freely, and he still needs the help of General Zhao Xiaojun for some things.For his own people, Li Wen bluntly asked Zhao Xiangyi for help. He said, "...This is probably the case, and you need to cooperate."

The implementation of the policy requires the cooperation of the following people.Otherwise, if the people below didn't cooperate with him, any policy would be nonsense, so this matter still needs Zhao Xiangyi's help.As long as these people find that the new policy can bring them more benefits and benefits than the previous policy, no one will pressure them, and the people below will cooperate with him.

"Okay, no problem." To Zhao Xiangyi, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, "I'll arrange someone to follow you later, and if you have anything to do, tell him to do it."

"Okay." Li Wen nodded.

Seeing that the master had finished talking about the matter, he asked the master with the little father-in-law who was serving beside the prince if he would let someone pass it on to Wu Teng.

"Let's pass it on." Yang Shaomu nodded and said, not to mention that he really didn't notice the gurgling in his stomach at this time.

Seeing the master nodding, the little eunuch ordered someone to serve lunch.

"You can have lunch with Gu." Yang Shaomuao invited Li Wen and Zhao Xiangyi to have lunch together.Although he is a prince, he is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful. He has always advocated frugality and not waste when it comes to food and clothing.

The little eunuchs who served knew their master's habits, so they didn't dare to ask the kitchen to prepare too many dishes.

One dish after another was served, and there were eight dishes, four meat and four vegetables, and one soup, but the portion of each dish was not much.

"So I'm not going to be polite." Li Wen was not the first time to have dinner with His Highness the Crown Prince. In his concept, the Emperor and the Crown Prince are rulers, and they are ministers. He respects the ruler, but is not afraid of them.The crown prince asked him to eat together, and he sat down to eat together without politeness, and even picked something he liked to eat with his chopsticks.

And Zhao Xiangyi, the prince's companion, was even more impolite. He ate vegetables and only picked meat dishes for his chopsticks.

Usually, Yang Shaomu eats alone, and rarely the princess eats with him.But in comparison, he still prefers to eat with his companion and Li Liuyuan. Seeing Li Liuyuan eating always gives him a pleasant feeling, so his appetite for eating is better than usual, and he eats more than usual I ate a small bowl.

After eating, the prince left first if he had something to do.

In the summer afternoon, the breeze is gentle, and it is a good time to take a nap after eating.

A rocking chair happened to be placed by the window, and Li Wen sat down on the chair, feeling drowsy.Zhao Xiangyi did not go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After sending the Crown Prince out, Zhao Xiangyi turned back and saw the young man who was going to sleep just after eating. He reached out to touch the young man's belly and asked, "Why don't you sit down and sleep again ?”

"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while. Give me a touch."

Stomach is too full and a little bloated.

The stomach felt very comfortable when he touched it with his big hands, so Li Wen spread out his stomach and asked someone to touch it for him.

Seeing the boy looking at him with sleepy eyes, Zhao Xiangyi couldn't help but smiled, took the boy's hand and put it on his lips, kissed him, and said, "Go to sleep, I'll touch it for you."

Zhao Xiangyi felt a little bit reluctant to see the blue-gray under the young man's eyelids.

"Hmm..." Li Wen smiled, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.Seeing the boy fell asleep, Zhao Xiangyi sat on the side without moving, just looked at the boy who fell asleep, his eyes could not hide the tenderness and love, this is the boy he likes and loves...

very nice! ..
