Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 254 Paving the way for Xue Bowu and meeting Xue Rengui by chance
Chapter 254 Paving the way for Xue Bowu and meeting Xue Rengui by chance
"What Fang Xuanling said is absolutely true, you don't have to rush to recommend it!"
"Fang Yuan stays, you all go back first and be ready for war!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly.
He knew what Li Jing and Hou Junji were thinking.
But there is really no rush, and those participating in the meeting today are all civil servants.
They will be dissatisfied if the generals are confirmed for the expedition without the generals knowing about it.
"Your Majesty, please retire!"
Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.
Some ministers looked at Fang Yuan before leaving, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes.
"Fang Yuan, Prime Minister Pei and Prime Minister Du all recommended you to me as Minister of Justice."
"But when I look at it today, I feel that this position is not suitable for you. How about Minister of Tobe?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan with sigh in his eyes.
When I discovered Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was still a small county magistrate.
Now Fang Yuan is not only an order of Chang'an, but also about to become a fourth-rank official.
This feeling is like watching a child grow up from childhood to adulthood.
"Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, and whatever he says is what he says."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then flattered him.
The Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Criminal Affairs are both senior officials of the fourth rank.
However, the Ministry of Household Affairs is the agency in charge of household registration and finance, second only to the Ministry of Personnel and above the Ministry of Punishment.
If you can be the Minister of Household Affairs, then it is definitely better to be the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Okay, I understand what you mean."
"When I go back, write today's plan in a memorial and submit it."
Li Shimin chuckled.
I already understand Fang Yuan’s thoughts.
"Your Majesty, it is only a matter of time before we go to Lingnan. Can I ask you for a pioneer or something?"
Fang Yuan did not leave and said with a flattering smile.
"Huh? You want to be a pioneer?"
Li Shimin was stunned and surprised.
"No, I want to find a job for Xue Bowu!"
"Bo Wu may have a simple mind, but he is definitely a fierce general!"
"Such a strong general cannot be buried in my hands. I think he has the potential to conquer the world!"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Xue Bowu has been with him for a long time.
Since Liaozhou, I have protected myself and protected myself several times.
Although Fang Yuan gives money to the Xue Bowu siblings every month, this kind of life-saving kindness cannot be offset by money.
Nowadays, there are wars where you can easily gain military exploits. Fang Yuan feels that it is necessary to pave the way for Xue Bowu.
"The one beside you, the captain accompanying the Rong army?!"
Li Shimin had an impression.
He has met Xue Bowu several times, and Li Junxian has commented on Xue Bowu.
He is indeed a rare strong general. When defending Liaozhou City, he seemed to be the one who killed the most enemies.
"Exactly!"
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I've written it down, but it's not necessarily a pioneer."
Li Shimin nodded.
He will give Xue Bowu a chance, but he may not be a pioneer.
Because as a pioneer, in addition to being brave, you also need to have some brains, otherwise things can easily go wrong.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan thanked him, said goodbye and left the palace.
After leaving the palace, Fang Yuan skipped work again.
Almost every time he entered and came out of the palace, Fang Yuan was too lazy to go on duty.
On the one hand, the road is not smooth and I am too lazy to go there.
On the other hand, I tense up every time I enter the palace and am too tired to go.
After returning to the house, Fang Yuan called Xue Bowu, and Xue Jiaoyan happened to come with him.
"Bo Wu, I've got a job for you. I'll go with the army to Lingnan to quell the chaos in a few days!"
Fang Yuan informed Xue Bowu.
"Good on you Fang Yuan!"
"What are you thinking about, you actually want my brother to go to war?!"
Xue Jiaoyan jumped up from her stool in shock and glared at Fang Yuan.
After this jump, the scenery on my chest is quite charming.
At this time, Xue Jiaoyan was no longer as thin as she was in Liaozhou. She had gained a lot of flesh and looked plump.
"What gives me peace of mind?"
"Going to Lingnan to fight is the same as collecting merit. What's wrong with that?"
"Do you want your brother to follow me like this for the rest of his life, or do you have other plans?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
Xue Bowu on the side was so calm that he didn't even blink, but Xue Jiaoyan was making such a fuss.
"Isn't it dangerous for me to go to Lingnan to fight?"
Xue Jiaoyan opened her mouth and her voice became much softer.
"There is definitely danger, but the risk is low, just like taking credit for it."
"I only asked Bowu for a job because I have a good relationship with you siblings. Are you still not happy?"
Fang Yuan said speechlessly.
How can a war be without danger?
But in the battle of Lingnan, the risk factor should be very low.
And with Xue Bowu's ability, that danger is nothing at all.
If he likes war, he will stand out on the battlefield after this war.
"Oh"
"Bo Wu, what do you think?"
Xue Jiaoyan let out a long sigh.
Judging from her appearance, she was still worried about Xue Bowu going to war.
But she still believed in Fang Yuan and wanted Xue Bowu to find a job to make a living.
Although living in Fang Mansion feels like home, it is not my own home after all.
With his younger brother’s ability, it’s not very good to do business with him, which completely buries his talent.
"Hehe, can I go beat someone up?"
Xue Bowu scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
"You can beat people up, or you can kill people!"
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart and smiled.
I don’t know whether it is good or bad to help Xue Bowu pave the way.
With his mind, he is really not suitable for hanging around in official circles.
However, there are some differences between the military and officialdom, so you might as well give it a try.
"That's good!"
"I want to go!"
Xue Bowu nodded heavily.
"You guys only know how to fight!"
"When you go to war, you have to pay attention to safety and protect yourself, you know?"
"Also, I have to come back early!"
Xue Jiaoyan was furious.
Raising his hand, he was ready to hit Xue Bowu hard again.
But my hand stopped in the middle of knocking. I couldn't bear it and my eyes were a little moist.
The two depended on each other. They had been together since childhood and had never been separated for a long time. Xue Jiaoyan was very reluctant to let go.
"We haven't set off yet. Is there any need to live or die?"
Fang Yuan was even more speechless towards Xue Jiaoyan.
Without looking, he stood up and left, leaving the siblings behind.
"Lie, I need you to take care of it!"
Xue Jiaoyan stuck out her tongue in Fang Yuan's direction and made a face.
After seeing Fang Yuan leave, he pulled Xue Bowu over and taught him earnestly.
After Fang Yuan and Xue Jiaoyan separated, they went to the backyard to find the giant.
But the giant was not there, so Fang Yuan looked at the sky and went to the Moh Academy Research Institute.
The Mohist Research Institute has completely grown to a large scale, and a wall has been built around the perimeter. There are guards guarding the gate, and non-staff members are not allowed to enter.
Fang Yuan took the manual elevator directly to the tenth floor and asked Juzi to meet him here.
"Fang Yuan, the fire gun you want has not been produced yet. It is easy to explode and is very dangerous!"
The giant held a short firecracker around the Middle Ages and handed it to Fang Yuan.
According to Fang Yuan's wishes, Juzi studied the real core of the Mohist Research Institute for two years, and finally developed it a few days ago.
However, during the test, the barrel often exploded, injuring several testers, and made Juzi and others go crazy for a while, but they could not find the reason.
"What is the probability of the chamber exploding?"
Fang Yuan stroked the short firegun, his eyes bright.
Only when a man actually touches a gun can he know how strong the sense of security it brings to people.
Although no shots have been fired, Fang Yuan is not afraid of Nie Yinniang, who is on the assassination list, standing in front of him.
"About 70%!"
Juzi sighed.
"Seventy percent?!"
"I will take this with me first, and you will study harder!"
Fang Yuan frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
Seventy percent, that is, if you fire ten times, there is a possibility of seven explosions.
But at any rate, there is a 30% success rate, and carrying it with you can be regarded as a layer of protection.
Xue Bowu left for the battle soon. Without the protection of super masters, Fang Yuan could only do this.
It was precisely because of the appearance of the short fire gun that Fang Yuan could safely let Xue Bowu go to the battlefield.
"Then be careful, don't use it if you can't use it!"
Juzi reminded.
"Don't worry!"
Fang Yuan responded with a smile.
Then Juzi left, and Fang Yuan stayed on the tenth floor.
The layout of the tenth floor is very clever, with mountains, water, and even fish ponds for raising fish.
Viewed from a high altitude, this is a formation, a formation for gathering good luck, with a large pattern.
It is also because in this era there are no conditions such as airplanes to see it from a high altitude, otherwise Fang Yuan would not allow the giant to deploy such an array.
The formation was arranged by Juzi on his own initiative. He told Fang Yuan in advance that Fang Yuan didn't really believe in such mysterious and mysterious things, so he just let him go.
Although he didn't believe it, every time Fang Yuan came to the tenth floor, he felt like his whole body was being washed away. This kind of ecstatic feeling was not found in other places.
However, it may be because of the good scenery at the top, so Fang Yuan never thought that it was the reason why the giant set up the formation.
In the evening, Fang Yuan, Ju Zi and others returned to Fang Mansion.
Before leaving the house the next day, Du Miaoyan arrived with a letter.
"Li Danqiu and Li Siwen would like to ask you to help them find an errand for their expedition to Lingnan."
Du Miaoyan shrugged and said.
"Please?"
Fang Yuan took the letter and opened it unexpectedly.
After the last wedding between Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, their siblings and Madam Li followed Li Ji back to Hedong.
Li Ji made a lot of contributions in the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, and the imperial court granted him many benefits, but the details are unclear.
But with Li Ji's achievements and status, he needs a small Chang'an order to help them find a job?
After reading the letter, Fang Yuan understood.
The Battle of Lingnan was so popular that countless dignitaries were watching, such as Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and other second-generation soldiers who signed up.
Because they are all in Chang'an City, they may have relatively wide connections, or they may be close to the emperor, so there are already internal reports that they will also participate in the war.
So for the Li Danqiu siblings who are far away in Hedong, they are at a disadvantage.
Even if he could join the war, he probably wouldn't have a good position.
So I wanted to ask Fang Yuan to help me talk.
It has been spread that Fang Yuan proposed to pacify Lingnan in the Imperial Study Room, and the Li Danqiu siblings felt that the emperor would definitely agree to Fang Yuan's words at this time.
"They really think highly of me!"
Fang Yuan pursed his lips.
Hand the letter back to my brother Miaoyan.
"Then can you help?"
Du Miaoyan asked.
"To see off Prime Minister Pei today, let me mention it to the emperor."
Fang Yuan sighed and said.
I have a good relationship with Li Danqiu’s family.
Since they mentioned it, let’s try it ourselves and Chengdu will be able to explain whether it works or not.
It just so happens that today is the day when Pei Ji becomes official. The imperial court holds a farewell party for him. The emperor and officials will be present, so they can talk to the emperor.
"Be safe on the road!"
Du Miaoyan saw Fang Yuan out of the door and watched Fang Yuan leave in a carriage.
She did not return home and left in another carriage. Princess Xiangcheng made an appointment with her today.
Suzaku Gate.
Today, hundreds of officials are standing on both sides.
Emperor Li Shimin and Supreme Emperor Li Yuan were also present, watching Pei Ji leave from Shangshu Province.
In terms of continuity, the imperial court gave Pei Ji enough face, and this will definitely be recorded in the history books of future generations.
In front of everyone's attention, Pei Ji appeared sitting on a chariot with an empty shelf.
"Farewell to Prime Minister Pei!"
All the officials saluted in unison.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and all colleagues, I am so grateful that I have no words to express, thank you!"
Pei Ji did not get off the car.
Standing on the stable chariot, he solemnly saluted everyone.
After a long time, after the ceremony, Pei Ji raised his head, his wet eyes sweeping over everyone present.
There are kings, friends, political opponents, disciples, etc. here, and I am very reluctant to leave them.
But after one death, Prime Minister Pei had already taken a dim view, and it was the best time to leave.
Maintain your glory and live forever!
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Finally, when leaving the Zhuque Gate, Pei Ji saluted Li Yuan again.
"Take care!"
Li Yuan's eyes were moist and he choked.
After watching Pei Ji's vehicle getting further and further away, everyone left the scene one after another.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Yuan approached Li Shimin and said a few good words for Li Danqiu and his sister.
Naturally, the record in the First World War in Liaozhou needs to be mentioned, so that the emperor can feel that Li Danqiu and his sister are talented people.
But Li Shimin just replied that he understood, and then walked into Chengtian Gate with the Supreme Emperor.
Watching Li Shimin disappear, Fang Yuan left in the opposite direction.
After leaving the Zhuque Gate, Fang Yuan returned to the county government office.
I had been lazy for a long time yesterday and it was still early today. Fang Yuan could not be lazy anymore.
As soon as he returned, Fang Yuan saw someone playing drums to redress grievances, and beside him there was a young man dressed as a servant.
The young man looks handsome, but what makes Fang Yuan pay attention to him is not his appearance, but the grain of rice in the corner of his mouth.

"Fang Ling?!"
"Fang Ling, you came back just in time. Please comment with me."
The one who complained seemed to be a small wealthy businessman.
A middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, and a round belly.
"Tell me about it."
Fang Yuan nodded slightly and stopped to listen to what the other party said.
"This man is a day laborer in my house. He is quite strong. He usually carries water and chops firewood."
"I thought that if a person works alone, he will naturally eat the food of one person, but who knew that he would eat the food of ten people by himself!"
"After I found out, I fired him. He asked me for wages, and I offered him the food he had eaten these days as compensation. He refused, and even injured one of my men."
"Now that my man was injured by him, I don't want compensation from him, but he still wants me to pay him wages, and even threatens me. Please give me some advice."
The middle-aged wealthy businessman said angrily.
He glared at the young man, but he was a little timid and did not dare to look directly at him.
"It is only natural that you should be paid for work."
"Before starting work, I asked you if you would include food, and you would provide food."
The young man said dissatisfied.
"Then what about the person you injured me?"
The middle-aged wealthy businessman said angrily.
"It was your people who made the first move, and I resisted."
The young man glared at the middle-aged wealthy businessman.
This glance frightened the middle-aged wealthy businessman to take two steps back, and then he looked at Fang Yuan for help.
"According to what you just said, this case does not need to go to court."
"He injured your servant, it was self-defense and resistance, and there is no need to pay compensation."
"You owe him wages. You will pay him as much as you owe him. You will be responsible for supervising the case."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and made the decision on the spot.
Finally, the gatekeeper was asked to supervise the implementation of the case.
After saying that, Fang Yuan ignored him and walked towards the county government office.
"Xue Rengui, the villain, thank you Fang Ling!"
The young man was overjoyed and shouted towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan, who was walking back, suddenly stopped.
Xue Rengui?
Isn’t that another military god of the Tang Dynasty?
Whether in history or in legend, Xue Rengui is a legend.
