After Zhao Yang finished reading the secret report, for a long time, no one spoke in the imperial study.
Shock!
So shocked!
If this news was not a secret report that reached the palace, everyone would even think that this was a joke.
Almost at the same time, in more than ten counties in Gyeonggi Province, some people came out to oppose pork. But at the same time, people from all over the country all stood up and beat all these people. The least severe ones were knocked unconscious, and the beatings
Several people will die.
horrible!
Is the world crazy?
Just when it was quiet.
Suddenly a voice sounded: "My lord, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Du He bowing slightly. The words just came from his mouth.
Li Er also reacted from the shock: "Oh? Du He, why are you so happy?"
Du He explained: "Your Majesty, there are many people who oppose pork. This is bad news. However, people everywhere have risen up one after another, which shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty are all bloody people, and they understand the truth and understand the general principles. They are thinking of Your Majesty.
I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness and do not want these dogs to come to Chang'an to cause trouble, so I have solved this trouble for Your Majesty in advance. It is all thanks to Your Majesty that there are so many lovely people in the Tang Dynasty. I have only heard that when a tyrant was in power,
The people of the world are eager to cause chaos and then profit from it. I have never heard that under an unwise monarch, the people will do such righteous things. Therefore, I would like to congratulate your majesty. Your majesty is the most sage king in history. Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty
Wu is not even worthy of carrying your shoes, and Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang are not even half as good as His Majesty!"
I am Cao!
Everyone was stunned.
Du He, the sycophant, is so shameless.
Everyone cursed secretly in their hearts, but their actions were not concealed at all.
"My lord, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"The people's hearts are in great harmony, this is a sign of a prosperous age!"
"I think the Duke of Huyi County is right!"
"I second the proposal!"
Everyone tried their best to praise Li Er.
Someone has said that the first person in the world to praise a woman with flowers is a genius, the second person to praise a woman with flowers is a mediocre person, and the third person is a fool... The same goes for flattery.
Although Li Er heard countless complimentary words, what he remembered was Du He.
"Du He, you are very good!" Li Er said, feeling very happy.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Li Er was in a good mood and said happily: "Du He, you have contributed to the promotion of pork, and I will not forget you. However, I will record this contribution for the time being. When you, the magistrate of Hu County, make achievements, you will be rewarded together."
Du He touched his chin.
This is a big picture!
He was just about to persuade Li Er, but he heard Li Er say in a deep voice: "Yang Gandang, the imperial censor, made monstrous words in the imperial study room to confuse the public. He should be severely punished!"
Plop.
Yang Gandang, who had been so arrogant just now, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"
Li Eryi waved his hand: "You can go to Hu County to raise pigs. Pig raising is the most difficult thing to do. Your colleague Liu Xiu went to the pig farm and made some achievements, but he didn't want to come back. So you can
Just follow him!"
In one sentence, the aloof censor became a pig farmer in a pig farm.
Later, Li Er announced a banquet to entertain the ministers.
Du He also attended the dinner in the spirit of coming here, eating before leaving.
During the dinner, many people took turns to get close to Du Hetou, with only one purpose, hoping to send their children to a pig farm to raise pigs.
Nowadays, no one knows that Wei Zheng's two sons, Wei Shuyu and Wei Shuwan, were sealed from the county because of raising pigs.
Everyone also hopes that by sending the heir, he can be granted a title in a few months. Even if he is not granted a title, it would be nice to get a small reward and leave a little impression on His Majesty!
In this regard, Du He would not refuse anyone who came, as many as he wanted.
Seeing this, Hou Junji said sourly: "Du He, aren't you afraid that one day they will find out that this pig raising is a scam and skin you alive?"
"Haha," Du He sneered, "Master Hou, what you said is wrong. Now they are begging to send their children to the pig farm, and they agreed to let me take care of them. I can beat and scold them as they please, and they have to feed the pigs every month." How can you find such a good thing when you have to pay five guan for food money? In the past few days, there have been more than a hundred people, hehe..."
Hou Junji sighed: "Du He, I plan to go to Hu County the day after tomorrow to bring my son back. Now, the one I am most worried about is Yi'er!"
"Master Hou, there is a saying that goes well, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, why do you have to worry so much?"
"That's true, but now that Yi'er is crazy and stupid, what will he do in the future at his age?" Hou Junji sighed, exchanged cups with Du He, and finally got himself drunk.
…
Du He hurried back to Hu County overnight. Exhausted from running around and working hard, he fell asleep.
The next day, he opened his eyes in a daze and saw a dark shadow standing next to the bed.
"I am Cao..."
Du He was startled, quickly got up and kicked him out.
Plop.
The black figure was kicked to the ground.
Du He got up, pulled out the sword hanging on the bedside, and sneered: "You assassin is so unprofessional, you can't even block my young master's kick!"
Swish.
The sword was placed on the opponent's neck.
But when he took a closer look, Du He was stunned.
The person who came was not an assassin, but Hou Yi.
Hou Yi's hair was as unkempt as a bird's nest, his clothes were dirty and tattered, and a rancid smell like pig food could be smelled from a distance.
"You want to assassinate me?" Du He asked curiously.
There was not much sparkle in Hou Yi's eyes, and his expression was a little numb. He shook his head: "No, County Lord, I am not an assassin. I came here specifically to find you!"
"Wait...how did you get in?" Du He didn't care about Hou Yi's purpose, but he was very curious about how this guy got in.
You must know that this courtyard of yours may seem relaxed, but in fact it is heavily guarded and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter.
Hou Yi smiled shyly and said: "County Lord, the guards at your door wouldn't let me in, so I used some tricks to lure them away from the mountain, and then sneaked in. I saw the County Lord sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to disturb him, so I Wait aside."
"Okay, you kid already knows how to lure a tiger away from the mountain!"
"Hehe, I learned some art of war from my father since I was a child, and I know a lot about it!"
Du He put away his sword, sat down, and asked, "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Hou Yi quickly got up from the ground and said with a heavy face: "County Lord, I have something unclear these days!"
"What's the matter?"
"That's the cement invented by the county magistrate. Such a magical thing will definitely be of great use in the future. I have already thought about it. Cement can be used to build roads, houses, and city walls. The effect is amazing. But, why, Your Majesty? Not interested, the ministers in the DPRK are not interested, and even my father doesn’t care?" Hou Yi was puzzled.
In the past few days, he had been thinking about this matter, but the more he thought about it, the more painful it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he had no answer. As a last resort, he decided to ask Du He for advice.
