"So, Childe, please come with me, the weather is cold, and there is a special warm room for the assessment in the back."
Erhu led this son to the assessment, and the scholar was already stunned.The crowd outside the door is getting more and more, and they all want to see if this Cui Gongzi, who has always been controversial, has the ability to answer questions and clear customs.In the palace, Emperor Li Er has moved the office into a newly built heated room to work, this is Du Shaoqing's earthen heating specially designed for the palace, that is, digging a passage in the ground, connecting the heating stove, and the heat passes through the underground passage, and the palace is warm.Because the palace of the imperial palace is used for office, the place is relatively large, and the emperor can't sit cross-legged on the kang to work, if there is a small court meeting, dozens of ministers are also sitting cross-legged on the kang?
How big is that?
And a group of big men all took off their shoes and sat cross-legged and chatted, if anyone has athlete's foot or something, God, the picture is simply too beautiful to imagine.After listening to the complaint of his daughter Princess Changle about a group of orphans, Li Er sighed, as the king of a country, he is the head of a family, and any child who is hungry and cold cannot be separated from him, but fortunately, this loophole was discovered by his daughter and son-in-law in time, and it can be regarded as a great help to himself.smiled and said to his daughter: "You are careful and kind, I am very pleased that your husband and wife can share their worries for me so much, it is better to leave the matter of taking care of orphans and beggars to the two of you, your eldest brother is now busy with the winter heating of the country, and has no time to separate, if it is assigned to other ministers, I am afraid that they will be busy with official affairs and have no time to separate, one is not good, and it is a life if it is delayed." ”The princess explained her intentions: "Father, the husband said that we don't dare to be exclusive about this matter, it is better to use your father's name, so as not to gossip about others." ”Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing with a smile when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "It's just that you kid has a lot of eyes, and you're still afraid that I won't criticize you?"
Nuo Da is pretending to be here, can't you gather these tens of thousands of people?
”Du Shaoqing smiled bitterly and defended: "The younger son-in-law thinks that Jun's favor will change the hearts of the people, and it is useless for me and Changle to come, and it is most appropriate for either the father-in-law or the prince to do this." ”Hearing this answer, Li Er laughed, pointed at Du Shaoqing and said: "No, I will hand over this matter to you and Changle, Changle is my daughter, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and it is okay to show kindness to the people on behalf of me, who said that reputation is useless?"
I want my daughter to be as famous as her aunt, Princess Pingyang, and maybe even a great story. ”The princess was moved and almost shed tears, her aunt Princess Pingyang, when the Tang Dynasty raised troops to build the country, almost helped lay down half of the country, but in the end she died young because of arrow wounds on the battlefield, but she left a reputation as a heroine.Li Er got up and personally handed over the handkerchief to wipe his daughter's tears, thinking of his second sister, he was indeed a little stunned, recalling that if this sister did not die, I am afraid that his group of brothers would not kill each other too much."
But I said it in advance, in this way, I will not let the treasury supply the money and food, I will send someone to set aside a place to support you to collect the beggars and orphans, well, the name is simply called Changle House, a Changle home built by Princess Changle for the people, haha, just this name, the name is loud to do things.But the construction, money and food, etc., all have to be solved by you kid. ”As soon as the conversation changed, Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing playfully.Okay, this old fox, it turned out to be for this for a long time, no wonder he didn't even want the hearts of tens of thousands of people, it turned out to be a search to save money, it was really a good calculation, although it was in the name of Princess Changle, but the princess was still the emperor's daughter after all, and the people's hearts belonged to him, and at the same time he didn't spend a penny, Du Shaoqing admired the old man's abacus.The princess wiped away her tears and agreed: "Don't worry, father, I know that the treasury is tight, my husband has already arranged this matter, and we still have some money and food in our business." ”Du Shaoqing wanted to cover his eyes and pull his wife, this old lady of a ruined family, said everything, and poked his family out?
But that?
Sure enough, Li Er pointed at Du Shaoqing and scolded with a smile: "What?
You kid still want to hide it?
In just half a year, I made a windfall, do you think I don't know?
A tael of spirits and a tael of silver, this is a robbery of money.I heard that you already have 200,000 taels in your account, do you know how much the treasury earns a year now?
300,000 taels!
It's not worth your income alone, otherwise I will pull down my old face and cry poverty with my daughter?
”muttered in a low voice, "This Lu Guogong is too, why do you say everything?"
”"It's not Zhijie who said it, Chang'an is so big, I don't know anything?"
Li Er reprimanded.Du Shaoqing didn't expect that a national treasury would be so poor, and it would only earn 300,000 taels a year, so how did this country function?
Doesn't it mean that all the income from salt and iron is controlled by the state?
What he doesn't know is that the country does not compete with the people for profit, this is a political rule, the country spends it immediately after making money, it is more of a balanced operation taken from the people and the people, although salt and iron make money, but it is unimaginable for the Tang Dynasty to invest in the military, weapons, armor, and war horses are all bottomless pits."
Father-in-law, you always laugh, I'm afraid you can't look down on this little money from my son-in-law, our little money is not as good as plucking the hairs of Uncle Li's family."
Du Shaoqing quipped."
Don't be slippery, you kid, I can see it, and if you want to be filial, will you give it?
The auxiliary machine family is a big family of thousands of people, and there are only a few people in your Du family, who is rich?
”Li Er retorted.Du Shaoqing was speechless when he was refuted, and he was about to flee away when he picked up his wife, and the reason for his farewell turned out to be, "Let's go, madam, let's hurry home, my father-in-law is picking on and saying that our family is less, you have to work hard to have a few more children, this kind of big event can't be delayed for a moment" The sentence made Li Er stunned, and the princess shook off her husband's hand in shame, stomped on Du Shaoqing and scolded: "What nonsense?
Just come and go?
I haven't seen the queen mother yet. ”The princess blushed and walked quickly to see the queen, but the emperor scolded and stopped Du Shaoqing: "You unscrupulous kid, you are really open-mouthed, wait a while and then leave, tell me about the situation of Liu'er, Concubine Yang has to ask three times a day, and my head is too big." ”Seeing his daughter and son-in-law raise their eyebrows so harmoniously, Emperor Li Erlao was relieved, this is like a happy marriage, except for the two couples, his other daughters and sons-in-law, when they go back to their parents' house, they are so frightened that they talk only and stay away from themselves, including many of their sons, who were well-behaved when they were young, and they became timid when they grew up, and that feeling made the emperor feel more and more lonely.It is precisely because of this that Emperor Li Er will look at Du Shaoqing's family and his granddaughter Du Xuanxuan differently, and even recently remembered to decree that Xiao Xuanxuan was canonized as a princess.Li Er reminded him like this, Du Shaoqing really wanted to come back and discuss with him about Li Su, this kid's psychological dark side is too big, and it won't work without a big move, but this trick is a bit ruthless, and it has to be discussed with other parents, but I don't know if Li Er, the father, can agree.
