When Changsun Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, he understood Li Shimin's persistence.
Obviously, Li Shimin was determined to arrange for Changsun Chong.
At this point, if Changsun Wuji persists, I'm afraid Li Shimin will force the order. Changsun Wuji sighed, stopped struggling, and said: "That's all, let that bastard give it a try."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also showed a smile on his face and said: "Wuji, if you think like this, you are right. You have to believe that Changsun Chong is different from ordinary people. He can be regarded as a descendant of the royal family. Everything he says and does
, although the current management of farming and so on has some influence. But a mature Changsun Chong, a Changsun Chong who has returned from experience, is of infinite value."
Changsun Wuji said: "What your Majesty said is true."
In fact, Changsun Wuji understands this truth. The problem is that Changsun Wuji can't let go of his face. He feels that Changsun Chong went to Xincheng to take up lowly business and do things like raising poultry. He has simply lost the Changsun family's face.
Let Changsun Wuji lose his face.
This is the reason why Changsun Wuji blocked it.
Now Li Shimin has said it all.
Even though Changsun Wuji was very generous, he couldn't refuse and could only follow Li Shimin's arrangement.
After all, Changsun Wuji is in the court, he is very important, and he is also an old fox in the court. He changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, after the new city was established, there is no one in charge of this matter in the new city.
, how to arrange it? You can't just ignore things. If you let it go, I'm afraid the new city will be in a mess."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji continued: "I didn't think about what the new city would be like before. But after careful investigation of the news about the new city, I found that the new city has a huge flow of people. And the planning of the new city is very good. Like this
A place that occupies an extremely vast area. If such an area is left unchecked, trouble may easily occur."
Li Shimin said: "The new city was proposed by Wang Can. Matters involving Wang Can are not easy to handle. If we directly arrange for officials to go there, it will inevitably be suspected of picking peaches."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. This new city is next to Chang'an, how can we ignore it. Could it be that we want to let it become a country within a country? This is not good for us.
Say, it’s not a good thing.”
Li Shimin said: "Wang Can is a very special existence, and his value is immeasurable. If there is a grudge between Wang Can and Wang Can because of a new city, for me, it will be a harmful thing without any benefit. I am not willing to
Do it.”
After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "I know what you mentioned. But under the current circumstances, I think it is better to leave the new city to Wang Can."
For Changsun Wuji, he was unwilling to have a state-within-a-state situation.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Wuji, do you have a solution?"
Changsun Wuji thought carefully and suddenly said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. Your Majesty, just discussed it directly and asked Wang Canlai to be the first magistrate of the new city and manage everything in the new city.
"
Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and said, "What if Wang Can doesn't want to?"
Changsun Wuji said: "If Wang Can is not willing to be an official, then we will take advantage of the situation and let Wang Can arrange someone to be the county magistrate to manage everything in the new city. After all, it is Wang Can who arranged the person, even if something goes wrong,
Then Wang Can will also come forward to deal with it. With Wang Can here, there will be no trouble in the new city."
Li Shimin nodded.
Changsun Wuji's analysis is indeed reasonable.
Changsun Wuji took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, there is another possibility, that is, Wang Can is not willing to serve as the county magistrate, nor is he willing to arrange people, but let Your Majesty arrange people. This is the best choice. So
First, the new city will be directly under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, but we can also set up a county magistrate for the lower county and be under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "It all depends on luck. In short, you just have to give it a try."
"I obey the decree!"
Changsun Wuji responded.
He left immediately.
After leaving the palace, Changsun Wuji went straight to the Wang's house in Yongxingfang. As soon as he arrived at the Wang's house, he entered the Wang's courtyard. But when he entered, he was surprised to see Li Yuan and Yuan Tiangang, who were communicating with each other in boxing.
It is just a health-preserving boxing technique that is good for strengthening the body. After all, Li Yuan is also the Supreme Emperor, so even if he abdicates the throne, he cannot be disrespectful.
Changsun Wuji could only stop.
Stand aside and prepare to salute.
After a while, Li Yuan and Yuan Tiangang stopped. Li Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Changsun Wuji, you are a minister of the dynasty and a busy man. What are you doing in the Wang family?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with Wang Can."
Li Yuan said: "Oh, you go ahead."
"yes!"
Changsun Wuji bowed and left.
Li Yuan asked Yuan Tiangang for advice again, then left and went to the backyard to prepare for farming, which is what he does every day now.
Not long after, Changsun Wuji came to the study room in the backyard.
Seeing Wang Can, Changsun Wuji did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Wang Can, the reason why I came here this time is because Changsun asked this bastard for permission to do things in the new city. He will do it now.
Things have happened. And after the new city is built, because there are a lot of people, it is like a small town. Therefore, this small county town also needs a person in charge."
Having said this, Changsun Wuji paused for a moment, and then continued: "What your Majesty means is that you are the founder of the new city. Without you, there would be no establishment of the new city, and there would be no life for thousands of people in the new city. You are here
In the hearts of the people of the new city, there is a very high King Wei. If you go to preside over the affairs of the new city, the people will definitely support you."
"So, I hope you will take charge."
"Of course, this is just His Majesty's plan. No decision has been made yet. It depends on what you say. Only if you agree can the court make arrangements accordingly."
"What do you think?"
Changsun Wuji had a look of expectation on his face.
In Changsun Wuji's heart, he actually had his own judgment. According to his judgment of Wang Can, there was a high possibility that Wang Can would not serve as the head of the new city.
The most likely possibility is that Wang Can doesn't care at all.
It’s just that Changsun Wuji didn’t say it out loud.
Everything depends on Wang Can’s decision.
Wang Can looked at Changsun Wuji's expression, suddenly smiled, and said: "I don't have to be the person in charge of Xincheng. I don't like to be involved in these things, and I don't want to do these things. But Xincheng
, after all, I built it with my own hands, and Chang Sun Chong was personally responsible for it. So I have someone to choose as the person in charge of the new city."
Changsun Wuji said: "Say it!"
Wang Can said: "The person in charge of the new city is Chang Sun Chong. As for the structure of the new city, please convey it to Your Majesty. My suggestion is that a county government be established in the new city. The person in charge is the county magistrate. He is the county magistrate of the lower county and is under the supervision of Chang'an.
County control. Of course, it can also be assigned directly to Jing Zhaoyin. I have no idea how to arrange it specifically. I just need to let Changsun Chong take charge."
Changsun Chong paid a lot for Xincheng.
Wang Can also saw it.
Today's Changsun Chong is also busy benefiting thousands of people in the new city and solving the livelihood problems of the people in the new city. To put it bluntly, Changsun Chong is the person in charge.
It's just that there is no appointment from the court.
After Changsun Wuji heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that the candidate mentioned by Wang Can would be his son Changsun Chong.
It surprised him so much.
Immediately, Changsun Chong recovered, and he said: "Wang Can, this kid Changsun Chong is still out of touch and immature. Is it appropriate for him to be the person in charge of the new city?"
Wang Can said: "I trust Chang Sun Chong as the person in charge of Xincheng. Last year, Xincheng had nothing and everything was starting from scratch, and Chang Sun Chong was mainly responsible for the arrangements. At that time, Chang Sun Chongdu
He can handle things beautifully. So now, I also believe that Changsun Chong has the ability to serve as the county magistrate."
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "Especially the thousands of people in the new city, I also believe that they will trust Changsun Chong."
Changsun Wuji said: "I understand."
He did not expect that his dandy son would be so recognized by Wang Can.
This was something Changsun Chong was a little surprised about.
But besides the accident, there was also some joy and a bit of pride, because Changsun Chong was his son.
Wang Can said again: "As for the choice of the person in charge of the new city, it has been decided. I believe that your majesty will not have any objections. Besides, Changsun Chong has a bright future, and I believe you are also happy to see it succeed.
.”
Changsun Wuji said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wang."
It was rare for him to call him Prince.
Because Wang Can changed Changsun Chong, it was because of Wang Can that Changsun Chong became what he is now.
The most important thing is that if Changsun Chong does not have an official position and simply leads the people to cultivate the land in exchange for raising poultry, then this is a lowly business, which is something Changsun Wuji will not be proud of.
But now with Wang Can's recommendation, it's different.
Changsun Chong served as the county magistrate of Xincheng.
As a parent official, he has the obligation and responsibility to let thousands of people live a good life. Therefore, when Changsun Chong served as the county magistrate, he led the people by example to grow dishes and raise poultry in order to make a fortune. This is what he would do
Being praised by everyone.
The reason is simple, this is Chang Sun Chong's responsibility.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's solemn look, Wang Can said: "I don't need to be grateful. After all, Changsun Chong can correct his mistakes after he realizes them. It's because he has this bottom line and his own thoughts. Everything he did was done voluntarily."
Changsun Wuji shook his head. No matter what Wang Can said, he bowed to Wang Can again and thanked him. Then Changsun Wuji left the Wang family and entered the palace to report to Li Shimin. (To be continued)
