Although Li Er's current behavior is a bit extreme, in Su Chen's view, this is all due to his being too patriotic, and it can be considered to be to his liking.
"Then do you have any solution? If these aristocratic families are allowed to store food, I don't know how many people will starve to death!"
"It just so happens that I have a close friend who is an important minister in the court and can bring your words to the current Holy Emperor!"
"You know, this is a great achievement. When the time comes, it will not be difficult to become an official!"
Li Er followed the temptation and eagerly wanted to learn from Su Chen how to solve the problem of the family's grain harvesting. This would not only solve the people's livelihood problems, but also send troops to attack the Eastern Turks!
Out of keen intuition, Li Er knew that the young man in front of him was definitely not a creature in the pool.
If you can take him under your wing, it will definitely be a big help!
"Tsk, who cares about being an official?"
Su Chen sneered and said nonchalantly: "This kind of thing is what Li Er, the emperor, should worry about. I'm just a landowner, why should I worry about it for him when I have nothing to do!"
The air suddenly became quiet!
Li...Li Er?!
Changsun Wuji was shocked that Su Chen dared to call him that in front of the emperor!
Isn’t this seeking death?!
Although Li Er himself did not have an attack immediately, his face was already a little ugly.
After a few breaths, Li Erhao gave Su Chen a meaningful look and said, "Listening to what you said, it seems that you have some objections to the current emperor!"
"What kind of person do you think the current Saint is?"
After speaking, Li Shimin stared directly at Su Chen.
He really wanted to know what image this young man had of him. Could it be that his reputation among the people was extremely poor?!
Changsun Wuji didn't even dare to express his anger anymore, for fear that Su Chen would say something wrong and make Li Shimin Long Yan furious!
"what kind of person?"
"Just because of the Xuanwu Sect incident and the actions of killing his brother and imprisoning his father, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"With his virtues, how can he be a good person?!"
Su Chen spoke so freely that Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji could hear their heads buzzing!
But before Li Shimin could get angry, Su Chen changed the topic and said, "Although Li Er is not a good person, to be fair, he is a good emperor!"
"No one can deny his ability to employ people wisely and enrich the people through reforms!"
"He is indeed a good emperor!"
"Not a good person, but a... good... good emperor?"
Li Er murmured to himself, somewhat puzzled by Su Chen's slightly contradictory words.
On the side, Changsun Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the change in the expression on Li Er's face.
But he looked at Su Chen helplessly.
"This young man really dares to say anything!"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but secretly sigh at Su Chen's words and opinions.
Over the years, he has met many young talents, but no one can compare with Su Chen!
"Forget it, just think of it for the people of the world!"
Su Chen then drank a glass of wine, which seemed to get him in the mood. Just be a good person and do it to the end!
"Actually, it's too simple to solve the family's problem of collecting food. Just organize them to raise donations."
"If only it were that simple." Changsun Wuji shook his head and did not think this was a good idea.
"Yes, the imperial court has organized many fund-raising activities, but everything was unsatisfactory..."
Li Er sighed lightly. Based on his understanding of those aristocratic families, they would only make a symbolic donation, which was a drop in the bucket.
Su Chen smiled and said casually: "That's because the people who initiated the fundraiser are not ruthless enough. If I were to take care of it, those aristocratic families would lose their skin!"
"Besides profit, what do these aristocratic families value most? Prestige!"
"If I were to organize a fundraiser, I would erect an inscription to show it to the world, and record the details of this fundraiser on it!"
"If you don't donate enough, those aristocratic families will be reviled by the whole world!"
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be done?!"
hiss!
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji took a deep breath.
Only now did they realize that the young man in front of them had surpassed them in some aspects!
The two looked at each other and could see what the other was thinking!
yes!
According to Su Chen, this is simply a wonderful method!
With the behavior of those aristocratic families, they will definitely hand over the harvested grain obediently when the time comes!
They may even compete to see who can donate more!
Li Er couldn't calm down, and he already cherished Su Chen's talent.
"Su Xiaoyou, in my opinion, with your ability, you shouldn't be buried in this small mountain. You might as well become an official!"
"Yes, little friend, if you become an official in the court, you will definitely have a lot to do!" Changsun Wuji agreed.
Now, if Su Chen is willing to become an official in the court, no matter what conditions he has, Li Er will agree without hesitation!
Such talents must not be let go!
But who would have expected that Su Chen just shook his head when faced with the solicitation from the two of them.
"Forget it, I'm used to being carefree, I just want to be a wandering wild crane."
"Compared with the intrigues of government affairs, I still prefer to be a landowner!"
"Being an official? Impossible!"
Li Er and Changsun Wuji were dumbfounded!
Is there really anyone who refuses to be an official these days?
"no!"
"I will bring this young man to the court no matter what!"
Li Er had already made up his mind and winked at Changsun Wuji who was standing beside him.
Changsun Wuji understood the idea and immediately said: "Little friend, you have also seen that the outside world is turbulent and the people are displaced, so it is extremely safe to become an official in the court."
"With your ability, your career will surely rise to the top!"
"To be honored as a marquis and to honor one's ancestors is what many people dream of!"
"Now, with such a good opportunity right in front of you, are you going to miss it like this?"
No matter how nice Changsun Wuji's words were, Su Chen remained unmoved.
"No, I don't care what they care about."
Su Chen had never had this idea about becoming an official.
Being an official is really tiring, and there is no nourishment like the life of a landowner!
Don't worry about food, don't worry about clothes.
There are groups of wives and concubines, fertile fields, mulberry trees, and bamboos. This kind of life does not need to be an official to be comfortable?
Moreover, I still have a system, so why would I care about a small official position?!
"You two, I appreciate your kindness, but it's a pity that I don't have this ambition. I just want to run my manor well in this life!"
"No! You can't farm for a lifetime even if you say nothing!" When Li Er heard this, he became anxious on the spot.
"A man who aims for a thousand miles, how can he be greedy for pleasure!"
"No, Lao Li, what happened to my farming?" Su Chen's eyes widened and he was unhappy.
"Your thoughts are too pedantic and outdated!"
"If there are no farmers, where will the food come from?"
"If there is no food, what will the country eat? What will the people eat?"
"Food is the first priority for the people! If you can't have enough to eat, all your hard work will be in vain!"
