Chapter 789: Reward! (Thank you for the 20,000 reward of Gull)
"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never ......be returned if it is not broken"
In the court, Wei Zheng suddenly spoke for Li Zexuan, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but Li Er, who was sitting at the top, did not pay attention to this, he muttered Li Zexuan's poems twice, and if you look carefully, you will find that his two eyes have been straightened!
A moment later, while the ministers in the court were still buzzing and talking, Li Er finally spoke.
"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore~! The battle of Asuka Jing was the initiative of the Wa State to provoke trouble, first attacking our Tang merchant ships, and then assassinating our Tang monarch, and should be punished! What Xiaogong has done is for the people of my Tang Dynasty, even if he has exceeded the rules, but he will be outside, and the military orders will not be accepted, and he can't be punished because of these!
The journey to the south was full of hardships and dangers, and filial piety carried the heavy responsibility alone, bringing back a large amount of food, spices and money for the imperial court at a very low cost of casualties. I decided to seal 200 households, 10 pairs of ivory, 50 tiger skins, 100 pieces of silk, 5,000 taels of silver, and 2 million money~! ”
After discussing for so long, Li Er was now the final word, and the crowd in the court suddenly quieted down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty~!"
Li Xiaogong hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Cheng Yanjin and the others said happily: "Your Majesty is wise~!" ”
Cui Shanfu frowned angrily, but at this time he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't want to touch Li Er's brow again.
I heard Li Er continue:
Among them, the surviving husband Meng Youliang raised a warning at the time of crisis, avoiding the merchant ship from falling into the hands of thieves, and this person was loyal and brave, and when life and death were at stake, he forcibly transferred the burning ship away from the course, so that the main fleet was spared, and I decided to make him the captain of the Xuanjie Festival, with a reward of 100,000 yuan and 100 horses of silk ~! Feng Zhihua, a merchant on the same ship, attaches great importance to affection and is not chaotic in the face of danger, and gives him the title of "righteous businessman"! ”
After Li Zexuan heard this, he was secretly happy for Meng Wenhao's father, this pillar of the man, finally used his life to support his family with a piece of light, it was not easy! Although the eight-rank official is small, he also has an official body, and his family will never be bullied casually in the future.
This is just a reward for two nobodies, and the rewards are all inconsequential things, the ministers in the court will naturally not speak out against it, and some of them even feel that Li Er should not take this kind of trivial matter to the court and say it specifically, which seems to be a bit of a fuss.
"Li Zexuan, a man from Lantian County, made a compass, presented nautical charts, and helped the fleet to turn back, although he did not personally participate in the voyage, but his contribution to the rear was indelible! Moreover, the proposal for the fleet to trade south was originally put forward by you, and now the fleet has brought back such a huge amount of materials and money for my Datang, you are indispensable~! In addition, you previously invented the paper machine, flat paper price, presided over the compilation of the "Tang Dictionary", opened the education of the people, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future, I decided to count the merits and reward, and named you the Marquis of Yong'an, the fief Lantian, and the six hundred households of the food yip~! ”
Regarding Li Zexuan's official position, Li Er has always been deliberately suppressed, Li Zexuan has made a lot of contributions before, Li Er has not been rewarded, he feels that Li Zexuan is still too young, the reward is too much, it is to kill!
But later, Li Er felt that Li Zexuan's abilities and opinions were becoming less and less like what a teenage hairy boy could have, so at this time, Li Er decided not to suppress it anymore, and directly took one step to put Li Zexuan's title directly from a county man to a marquis, and was promoted by leaps and bounds!
Of course, this one-step is a real one-step approach, at least within ten years, Li Zexuan's title is impossible to rise again, otherwise he will soon reach the point where he can't be promoted, Li Er wants to leave him to Li Chengqian!
"Thank you, Your Majesty Long~!"
When the ministers heard Li Er's reward, they were all stunned, and Li Zexuan took advantage of the fact that others were stunned, and directly stepped forward to thank him.
To be reasonable, he doesn't care if the title can be promoted in the next few years, his original dream was to be a marquis in the Tang Dynasty, and now his dream has come true, of course he has to cherish the opportunity, as for the prince above the marquis, he didn't think about it, for him, a marquis is enough!
"Your Majesty, this ........"
Almost at the same time, Wei Zheng also spoke, it seemed that he wanted to object, but seeing that Li Zexuan actually responded to the reward so quickly, he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and the expression on his face was very ugly.
Li Er glanced at Wei Zheng lightly, but he didn't ask at all, he waved his hand directly: "The matter of the reward, this is the end!" Zhongqing has something to play, and there is nothing to retreat from~! ”
The ministers looked at each other, after the Tang Empire, the title was so rare, but now Li Er has rewarded a founding marquis so lightly, no matter how you look at it, you feel very rash.
But Li Er, who is used to being strong, once he makes up his mind, he doesn't give people room to negotiate at all, and they can only stare in secret.
The eldest grandson Wuji pursed his lips, looking a little impatient, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't say anything.
Cheng Biting Jin was so happy that he was the same as Li Er's reward.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no opposition in the court, Li Er was about to announce his withdrawal from the court, but he saw a person walking in from outside the door, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Yu?
"Xiao Aiqing, why are you back again~? Could it be that the matter on the docks was settled so quickly? ”
Li Er looked at Xiao Yu who came in a hurry and asked with some curiosity.
How could 880,000 stone of grain be transported in such a short period of time? Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and arched his hand:
"Back to Your Majesty, now that the autumn harvest has just passed, Taicang in Chang'an City can only hold more than 100,000 stones of grain at most, so the old minister came back to ask Your Majesty if you want to transport the excess grain directly along the canal to Luoyang~?"
Li Er suddenly realized, in fact, this can't be blamed for his lack of consideration, he didn't expect Li Zexuan to bring back so much food, otherwise he wouldn't let Xiao Yu run more.
"Hmm~! According to Xiao Aiqing's, the excess grain will be directly transported to Hanjiacang in Luoyang by fleet~! ”
It just so happens that if there is a locust plague next year, grain can be transferred from Chang'an and Luoyang at the same time for disaster relief! Li Er thought so in his heart.
"The minister obeys the order~!"
Xiao Yu responded and walked away.
Li Er looked at the ministers in the hall, and then said loudly: "Since there is nothing to do, then retreat from the court~!" ”
In this way, an early dynasty, after twists and turns, finally ended! Li Zexuan returned with a full load!
