Chapter 220 Immortal Official

  The weather in Chang'an City did not cool down until early August. From time to time, wild geese can be seen flying south and their calls are heard. For the latest chapter, please go to [全~本520 READ], please remember our website: xs520.

In Duzhai, Shengpingfang, life has returned to its former peace. Occasionally, Lu Fengniang will sit in the courtyard and chat with her daughter-in-law, worrying that her two daughters will not get married again. Besides, only you can control Wu Lang, so you have to be stricter...

..

The wind carried these squid to the east chamber, which did not prevent Du Wulang from sleeping soundly on his desk at all, until someone pushed him and called: "Yu Lang, it's time to wake up and study."

Du Wulang was really sleepy, so he turned around and hugged his wife's waist, and asked in a daze: "Mother Yun, let's go to the couch and lie down for a while?"

"No." Xue Yunniang said with a straight face, "My mother and father have given orders, you must study hard."

Du Wulang sniffed and muttered, "What did you use today? It smells so good."

 “Don’t ask me to say it again, just wake up and read a book.”

 Suddenly, Xue Yunniang's tone turned harsh, and Du Wulang woke up suddenly, fearing that his wife would be angry.

She is always gentle and well-behaved, but occasionally she will show off her power. It doesn't matter, she can calm him down just by her momentum.

                         .

Du Wulang took a shot, and the smell of roasted lamb, cloves, and pepper came over him. He had a full stomach at noon.

I was so sleepy that I had no intention of reading. I could only force myself to wake up and open my eyes to look at the rows of handwriting.

Fortunately, after a while, Quanfu came to Tongtiao and said, "Wulang, there are a few poor students who came to visit me."

“Yun Niang, can I go?”

Xue Yunniang has regained her soft voice and said softly: "You must meet Mr. Yu, but how about finishing reading this page? I will accompany you to the garden to pick pomegranates at night."

 Finally, after reading two more pages, Du Wulang looked around and went to the lobby.

Several scholars who were waiting there stood up one after another and saluted: "I have admired Wu Lang for a long time, and Chun Nao Wuzi is the person I admire the most."

 Recently, Du Wulang suddenly became famous.

He didn’t have much reaction to this, and muttered: “You want to read books in the East Library, right?

With that said, he took the booklet and pen and ink directly from the shelf and put it on the table. He also said: "Fill in your name, hometown, and residence. I will take you there tomorrow morning. Don't steal the book or destroy the book."

The Secretariat's Eastern Pavilion has been changed to the Hongwen Pavilion for scholars all over the world to read. However, one must have the status of Imperial College Supervisor or Gongju, so Du Wulang, a Ming Jing scholar, is naturally qualified to go there. He originally went in alone to help some poor students.

The books I wanted to read were lent out. Later, I found it troublesome, so I established a good relationship with the officials and asked them to bring people in every time.

 It is actually very troublesome to do this. Most of the students are good, but there are two or three out of ten who steal books and are ungrateful. As time goes by, Du Wulang's enthusiasm has become less and less, and he always behaves businesslikely.

There are fewer and fewer supervisors in Chang'an doing this. Anyway, he is still registering these students. Du Wulang said a few words and asked Quanfu to take them out. He sat there with his head bowed and looked at the list.

 Someone walked into the lobby.

“Hey, you...Xue Bai? Are you back?”

Xue Bai, still covered in dust, sat down in the hall and asked, "I've been going to Lishan for more than a month. What are you busy with?"

I'm very busy." Du Wulang smiled and counted with his fingers, and said: "We raised another parrot and a Chuzhou cat. We planted azaleas, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms in the back garden. I also carved a piece of sandalwood.

The bracelet is given to Yun Niang... There are too many things to say at the moment, what about you?"

"It's just an ordinary ride with Huaqing Palace."

You are so boring as an official, so why are you back now?"

Xue Bai returned to Chang'an because the matter of sending Yan Shiwei to the outside world had come to an end, and he needed to start handing over official duties and prepare for the examination of the Ministry.

It is estimated that he will not be able to live in Chang'an City for too long. If Qinglan returns to Xue's residence in Xuanyangfang and is busy packing, it would be better to stay at Du's house for a while. It is also convenient to go to Yan's residence in Dunhuafang.

Lu Fengniang naturally welcomed Xue Bai very much. Since Qinglan was already Xue Bai's concubine, she let them live in the house in the west wing. The whole book is 520.????

  MA

At night, after Xue Bai took a bath, he went to the study room to discuss with Du Youlin about the appointment of deputy envoy for water and land transportation. In addition, as he was appointed as a local official, he also had to hire staff, and Du Youlin also helped recommend this matter.

The Du sisters were also there, and everyone was chatting and enjoying themselves like a family.

Until the moon hid behind the clouds, whispers resounded in the corridors.

You haven't told us in detail why you ran so far."

 Du pulled Du Miao over and whispered: "Be considerate, he will never be wrong."

 Before the business was finished, the eldest sister started to be considerate. "

 “Stop talking nonsense.”

 “Someone is coming, let’s talk about it at night.”

"If you don't go, Qinglan can stay with you. He is the one who has a reputation and a share."

There were footsteps in the backyard, and the three of them quickly ran away.

"Xue Bai is going to Dongduji County." Du Wulang walked with Xue Yunniang in his hand and said, "It's rare for me to admire him for something."

 “Why does Yulang envy my brother?”

“It’s so comfortable. I haven’t been to Luoyang yet, and I don’t have to be controlled by my parents.”

 Speaking of this, Du Wulang had an idea, and an idea popped into his head, and he couldn't get it out of his mind.

He and Xue Yunniang discussed in a low voice, and excitedly ran to the door of Xue Bai's room and knocked on the door.

"who?"

 “I, I have something to tell you.”

"Wait a minute."

After waiting for a long time, Xue Bai opened the door slightly and came out, talking to Du Wulang in the courtyard.

 “It’s like my sister’s incense.”

“Qing Lan borrowed the incense from my second sister, what do you want to say?”

“I heard that you plan to take Xue Xin with you. If Xue Xin goes, don’t my husband and the others have to go too?”

"yes."

“Don’t you want to hire a staff? How about hiring me?”

Xue Bai asked: "What can you do?"

“I...I can write and do calculations, and the bride price is low.”

 “Okay, get ready.”

Du Wulang was overjoyed and turned back to his room with cheers. The next moment he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say "Hey".

 Very sorry.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to Luoyang. If I leave, how will those students go to the East Library to borrow books?”

He really wanted to go to Luoyang, and he didn't have a deep friendship with those students, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be useless if he didn't go. Whether he could borrow books would affect the future of those students.

Xue Bai turned around and glanced at Du Wulang and said, "Just think of a way. You can't always carry me with me."

“If the East Hall is allowed to supervise students, students other than those from the countryside are also eligible? How can I do that?”

"Aren't you a five-year-old child? If you want to be my staff, how can you not have any skills at all?"

   Q7

The sound of morning drums entered the Youxiang Mansion in Pingkangfang. Li Linfu opened his eyes from his sleep and woke up immediately. He went to bed after the fourth watch last night, and he didn't sleep for long. At this time, his body was still very tired.

So I decided to sleep a little longer, but I couldn't fall asleep anyhow, as my mind was occupied with all the mundane tasks.

 In fact, after the assassination of the saint, he was under the greatest pressure as the prime minister who stayed behind in the court. He had to prove his innocence and give an account to the saint. At the same time, the national affairs of the entire Tang Dynasty still weighed on him, and it became increasingly heavy.

 Thinking about working so hard but still being reviled by the world, he couldn't help but get excited and got up.

The genius had just dawned, and he sat in front of the mirror, looking at the sparse and messy gray hair on his head, and the dark circles around his eyes. All kinds of emotions came to him...no one could tell him.

His first wife has passed away. Although he has met other concubines over the years, he never let anyone know where he slept that night. Although he has more than 200 descendants, they all have no identity. When he grows old, he is the only one left.

The position of prime minister who holds the power of the world,

  He is neatly dressed, and he is the right-hand minister Li Linfu with a strong spirit.

When all the staff rushed over, one of them was the first to say: "Right Prime Minister, this is Yang Guozhong's gift list. He also gave Chen Xilie a gift, and he wants to seek the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. For the latest chapter, please go to [Full~Ben520 to read

】, please remember our website address: xs520.co"

 “Tell the king, Luo Xishuang.” Li Linfu said without anger: “Let Shihu know who the Yushitai listens to.”

Yang Guozhong stretched his hand too far, so he decided to teach Yang Dang a lesson. This time he planned to pull out Du Youlin, the nail in the official department.

Li Linfu glanced at everyone seriously and said: "As the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the candidates for the merit examination have been carefully considered, Miao Puqing, Song Yao."

Miao Puqing and Song Yao were the two examiners who became the laughing stock of the world because they singled out the "white number one scholar". However, they had good family backgrounds, high talents, and sufficient qualifications. They had been demoted for five years, and now they are ready to recover.

 Li Linfu once served as the Minister of Gengbu, and he always regarded Gengbu as a taboo. Now that Da Xijun was suddenly demoted, he had to respond quickly and recruit some of his old confidants.

 “Please seal the envelope and deliver it to Huaqing Palace.”

 “Here.“

Normally, a saint would not interfere with this matter, but the situation has been tense recently, and Li Linfu did not dare to take charge of it.

After the official affairs, several official matters were handled one after another. A staff member hurried over and reported: "Right Prime Minister, the king has sent someone here."

                                  

The person who came was a Taoist named Ren Haichuan. He seemed to be a Taoist with an immortal demeanor. After arriving at the conference hall, he asked Li Linyuping to retire from the staff.

 “Right Prime Minister, the sage asked about the disaster in Henan.”

 “What’s the matter?“

Even though they were separated by a screen, Ren Haichuan still leaned forward and said: "The thieves in the assassination case are the victims who flocked to Hanjiacang.

Yanshi Wei Wang Yansiam took him in and sent him to Lishan Mountain. Now Wang Yansiam is dead. "

 “How can we get people to Lishan?”

“Taiwan Fu also doesn’t know about this.”

"The king doesn't know, but he comes to ask the truth?" Li Linfu said: "Go and ask him, who is holding the concurrent posts of Minister of Household Affairs, Land and Water Transport Envoy, Cashier of Hanjiacang in Liangjing, and Supervisor of Jingcang?"

 Full version????????????.????

Ren Haichuan was a bit confused: "Right Prime Minister, these positions were originally held by Yang Shenjin and his brothers, so... Taifu really doesn't know."

"push?"

 “Don’t dare.”

“Then it will be dealt with properly.” Li Linfu said, “What else is there to say?”

"We could have handled it properly, but the sage planned to appoint Xue Bai as Yanshi Lieutenant." Ren Haichuan responded in a low voice, "Taiwan Fu doesn't know what the right prime minister stands for, so he ordered me to remind him."

Li Linfu was actually a little surprised.

 He analyzed the pros and cons in this matter until he was interrupted by the sound of a pass, "Alang, Xue Bai wants to see you."

 “Let him in...remove the screen.”

 “Here.“

  1010

Li Linfu was not happy when he saw Xue Bai. He threw an official document over and shouted: "This is a good thing you have done."

The appointment of officials of the Press Court was written in the official document. The saint decided this matter very neatly, making it clear that he did not want to leave the Press Court in the hands of the prime minister. Everyone knew this, and Li Linfu was just venting his dissatisfaction.

Xue Baiwaner said: "The right prime minister is in charge of the world, but he has not been able to get me a Chang'an captain. How can I, a school secretary, get so many official positions for the right prime minister?"

The status of each other is very different. When making a deal, he wants to be fair but Li Linfu is domineering. Every time they break up unhappy, the reason he laughs is because of the failure of the deal. This smile makes Li Linfu feel disgusted and his face turns cold.

"Of course." Xue Bai said: "If the right minister wants to publish the newspaper, just follow the instructions. That's easy."

"Yeah?"

“I wonder who the right minister wants to appoint to replace Zhaoyingwei?

Xue Bai could feel Li Longji's subtle psychological changes, but believed that Li Linfu could not understand such a trivial matter that was difficult to explain.

Then it was absolutely impossible for Li Linfu to guess the reason why he went to Yanshi County. So he simply pretended to come and make another deal, and approached Zhaoyingwei on the condition of publishing in the newspaper.

"The true facts have been noted, and you will be appointed Yanshi Wei. You are a very good person, and you will be transferred from Xiao Shulang to Ji Wei within half a year."

 “I don’t want to go.” Xue Bai said.

Li Linfu remained calm and took an official document casually, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.

Xue Bai then said slowly: "There is such a big case in Lishan, and the right minister probably wants to hear my opinion? After all, I am a person who has experienced it."

"If you want to tell me, I will take the time to listen to you." Li Linfu responded casually, but in fact he was no longer interested in reading the official document.

If it was ordered by an important minister in the court, the assassin would not be so careless. But someone must have been negligent, otherwise the assassin could not reach the imperial court. For example, as Tai Le Cheng, I failed to realize in advance that Liu Hua was a demon thief, but obviously this

Someone in the case had greater negligence...Wang.""

 “Why?”

"He was appointed as the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the funds for the construction of Huaqing Palace passed through his hands. He was also the land and water transport envoy. How did the victims get from Henan Prefecture to Guanzhong? He was also the cashier of Hanjiacang in the two capitals, so why could he not provide relief to the victims in time?

?"

Li Linfu said: "If you talk so freely, everyone in the court will be negligent."

"Yes, I have not shied away from my guilt, and I have already shouldered the consequences." Xue Bai said, "But the king's negligence was even greater, so the sage asked me to go to Yanshi to investigate him."

Li Linfu was still looking at the official document attentively, and asked calmly: "Isn't it because Yang Guozhong is jealous of the king that he was framed just now?"

This is what makes him great. Although he is busy, he can always analyze people's hearts from the interests. This method made An Lushan exclaimed as a "god", but it could not scare Xue Bai. Xue Bai handed over the "sage"

"If you want to investigate the king", it will definitely make Li Linfu extremely concerned. He probably didn't read a word of the official document in his hand.

Of course, this is just speculation.

"Yang Guozhong is stupid and does not help." Xue Bai said: "It was just negligence. He framed many people. The saint is sure that it was not the king's plan. However, the saint does not care about mere monsters and thieves, but cares about the people of the world. Such a big thing happened

You can't just pretend it never happened."

 “The sage asked you to visit Henan?”

"yes."

 Li Linfu pondered for a while and decided to talk to Xue Bai about Henan first. As the superior, he had to set the tone of the matter first.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the system of land equalization, government troops, renting and transferring, etc. has gradually deteriorated. Do you know how the real system was reformed and achieved results? The treasury was filled without any damage to the bones, so that the saints could conquer foreign countries with martial arts.

Expanding the territory, the internal affairs of the country are prosperous, and the people are also benefited and appeased."

Xue Bai said: "Please give me some advice from your right minister."

"I will give you an example." Li Linfu twisted his beard and said, "In the 21st year of Kaiyuan, there was no food in Guanzhong, and Henan and Hebei were affected at the same time. What did the court do at that time? Following the old rules, they only ate in Luoyang."

Xue Bai interrupted: "Why eat in Luoyang?"

He should have known such a simple thing, but he had to tell Li Linfu that it was easy to transport food from the Jianghuai River to Luoyang, but it was troublesome to transport it to Guanzhong. The Yellow River was surging, and the three gates were three ghost gates. They were the mainstays of the year, and almost half of them were destroyed. Land transportation

It was even more difficult. A bucket of money was needed to transport a bucket of rice, so we had to go to Luoyang to eat."

"I see."

"At that time, there were many mediocre prime ministers. Zhang Jiuling served as the envoy to open rice fields in Henan and opened water villages in narrow villages. In order to open old river channels, he forced laborers to recruit men, which delayed the farming season and harvested very little polygon. Pei Yaoqing served as the envoy to transfer rivers and Huaihe to Henan and proposed the idea of ​​"transferring canals"

After passing through the method of "transporting millet", analyzing counties, setting up counties, building warehouses, setting up transportation fields, and digging mountains for eighteen miles, the cost is not small, but it is still "a bucket of money transports a bucket of rice."

Xue Bai said: "Zhang Qujiang's open fields and Changchun palace fields totaled more than 340 hectares and were distributed to the poor. In three years, Pei Gong made Guanzhong store 7 million dan of grain, saving 300,000 gu of freight. In the eyes of the Right Prime Minister, this is all mediocrity.

people?"

 He had actually heard Du Miao talk about these old things.

To transport millet by water, simply put, it means "centralized storage and segmented transportation". Heyin warehouse, salt warehouse, and Jinjin warehouse were built on the Cao River, and the water transportation was divided into four sections. For example, the ships from Yangzhou arrived at Heyin

Heyincang can unload the goods and return to the voyage without having to continue westward as before. Heyincang has its own ships responsible for transporting grain to the west.

 In this way, greatly increasing the efficiency of water transportation will have a profound impact on subsequent water transportation.

Pei Yaoqing has made such a great contribution. Someone told him that paying 300,000 yuan to a saint is enough to show his merit. But he replied, "Is it acceptable to use national wealth to seek favor?"

So, the next year after seven million stones of grain were shipped, Pei Yaoqing was jealous of Li Linfu because of his friendship with Zhang Jiuling.

  Be exempted from the phase.

“Just mediocre people.” Li Linfu sighed and said, “The ones who really make a difference are Benxiang and Niu Xianke.”

 “But I don’t know what the right prime minister has to say?”

 “Hecai.” Li Linfu said: “Compared with Zhang Jiuling’s 340 hectares of land, Pei Yaoqing’s three years and seven million hectares of land,

When Niu Xianke was in the Hexi Festival, he saved a huge amount of money, his warehouses were full, and his equipment was full of energy."

 “How to sum and multiply?”

"Change the grain from the canal to Nabu, light cargo. In this way, the burden of water transportation is greatly reduced, and the Ministry of Household Affairs can use money to collect grain from the local people. In good years, the court collects grain from the people at a price higher than the market price, and in famine years, it will be used

Relief. And the price is determined and collected according to the amount of land owned by the farmers. Poor people with less land can get more money."

Li Linfu said solemnly: "In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, Hecai was promoted all over the world. The government collected grain and added one or two cents per bucket to the current price. Farmers competed to sell grain to make huge profits, and they did not even feel the hard work during transportation.

...This is essentially a subsidy to the poor."

Xue Bai pondered and said slowly: "What does the Prime Minister mean when you say this...?"

"The country has been suffering from many shortcomings. Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling did what was easy to do, but they cherished their feathers and did not dare to implement good strategies. And the prime minister would rather give up the path of cultivation and immortality than stay in the secular world as the prime minister.

"I will assist the wise king at the top and keep the people safe at the bottom. I will not hesitate to offend others and bear infamy, but I must also make achievements that are beneficial to the country and this grand event."

 “You really think so, right prime minister?” Xue Bai asked.

In his view, if Li Linfu just said some high-sounding words to set the tone, that would be hypocrisy; and if Li Linfu really regarded himself as an "immortal official prime minister" and thought he was an excellent reformer, that would be foolishness.

If you don't even have justice, you only want to get endless money for the superiors, how can you talk about governance? How can you talk about being a capable minister?

  It would be better if a mediocre person sat in this position, unable to do anything but let the emperor often come to Luoyang to eat, instead of expanding the territory so much and living in luxury.

Li Linfu did not answer Xue Bai's question, but said slowly: "The purpose of He Duo is to harvest food in good years and provide relief in famine years so that the people will not lack food and clothing. Now that the world's warehouses are abundant, it is impossible to fail to provide disaster relief."

 “What if there is?”

“That was a man-made disaster. When the victims gathered in Luoyang, it was Tianbao Sixth Year, right? At that time, the transport envoy of Hanjiacang was Yang Shenjin, followed by Wang. Do you understand?”

Xue Bai understood that Li Linfu was making a statement.

The prime minister knew very well that Hecai must have exploited the people - "Unless the disasters caused by Hecai, I will not be responsible for other disasters. But the saint has been able to avoid eating in Luoyang for ten years. It is all the credit of the prime minister. If you

If it is found out that the victims of the disaster rebelled, it is best to be careful. But if not,

Whether it’s the King of Panjiao or he’s left to Yang Shenjin, we don’t care about the actual situation.”

Xue Bai only needed to say "understand" to reply, indicating that this time the sage went to Henan to visit, and the right minister would not be implicated.

 In this way, both parties can live in peace.

Li Linyu is still confident and thinks that the problem is not with him.

But Xue Bai was silent for a while, but he said: "I am young and of low status, and I am very uneasy going to Henan. According to my brother's wishes, I asked Du Youlin to move to the land and sea as an envoy."

Li Linfu glanced at Xue Bai coldly and told him to stop talking nonsense, because it was obviously impossible.

 “You go ahead, the truth will take care of itself.”

 “Farewell.”

ˆˆNN

After Xue Bai left, Li Linfu thought about it for a long time, and suddenly got up and found a few notes.

 This is an examination of Xue Bai written by Da Xixun. One is the best and the fourth is the best.

Li Linfu originally didn't want to move the prince to an official position, but after today's meeting, he realized that since the sage asked Xue Bai to leave Guanzhong, he did not trust the king... so he took out his seal and stamped it.

 At the same time, he murmured something.

 “Taifu, also worthy of being called Taifu”.”

 He was talking about immortal officials, reform, and the people... After all, he had to exclude those who threatened the phase, so that he could feel more comfortable.
