Chapter 358: Exile as an Official (I)
When Zhang Nan drove the steam car and began to circle around the open space in front of the Taiji Palace, the mood of everyone present was different.
Mozu watched Zhang Nan drive the steam car made by Momen and began to circle around the open space, Mozu had an indescribable feeling in his heart, his heart was very calm, but at the same time, he was also very excited, because Momen was finally able to come back again, and once again be able to return to everyone as an ink man.
And all the ministers thought in their hearts was when they could go up and experience this steam car, because this car that could run on its own without horses still looked very powerful.
Especially Cheng Yanjin, watching Zhang Nan driving a steam car around the open space, scratching his ears and cheeks, he couldn't wait to kick Zhang Nan down to experience it himself.
And Kong Yingda's mood is very complicated, on the one hand, Kong Yingda was surprised that Momen was really able to make a clever way to run on his own without horses, on the other hand, Kong Yingda was a little unhappy that Momen returned to the court so easily, although the current Momen only went to the Ministry of Heaven to exert his residual heat, but Kong Yingda still felt unhappy for a while.
Relatively speaking, Comrade Li Er is much calmer, because this steam car is really not an unusual thing for Li Er, because Li Er's Harley is much more advanced than this steam car.
It can be said that everyone present has their own thoughts in it, and Zhang Nan has been going around for five or six times before driving the car back in front of everyone.
After parking the car, Zhang Nan asked people to take a basin of water, and then turned on the boiler that was still burning charcoal, and handed over a basin of cold water, although this steam car was also successfully made, but there was a very important problem that was exposed, the steam car was too small, and the seat was very close to the boiler, which was a very big safety hazard, and the heat dissipation of the boiler was also a big problem, so Zhang Nan would not joke with his life, and got off the car after a few laps.
Walking in front of Li Er, Zhang Nan smiled and saluted Li Er, and said: "Your Majesty, Xin is not dishonored, with the steam car made by Momen as an example, our Datang Tiangong Department will only develop better and better in the future, and I believe that in the near future, this steam car will also become a very ordinary means of transportation." ”
When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he didn't break his promise, and said with a wave of his hand: "Where is the Momen Juzi." ”
As soon as Mo Zu heard Li Er's roll call, he immediately stood up and said, "The grass people are here." ”
"Today, Momen dedicated the steam car to the Tang Dynasty, and this merit should be rewarded. As the head of the Mo family, Mozu has made great achievements in manufacturing steam cars, so I decided that Mozu will be appointed as the Minister of Heavenly Affairs, and the official will be from the fourth grade. Li Er said with a smile.
When Mo Zu heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately changed his words and said, "Minister, thank the emperor." ”
As the so-called Shinong Industry and Commerce, Shi Dafu is a collective term for the bureaucratic humanistic intellectuals in ancient China. This is an elite social group, and people's origins and imperial examinations are the institutional guarantee for its formation.
Although in ancient times, some people regarded fame and fortune as floating clouds, but after all, it was a minority, otherwise it would not be able to leave a mark in the history books, for the ancients, only being an official is the ultimate goal of life, becoming an official, even if it is an official with a sesame mung bean, it has become the highest class of scholars in ancient times.
Mozu was born in poverty, and he was a white body, today he came to see Li Er, and he won an official position from the fourth grade, which can be described as a step to the sky, and it is impossible for Mozu not to like it.
"Okay, this steam car, Qingquan, you can pull it back to the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering, what I want to see is not this steam car, but to see more things, do you understand?" Li Erdao.
"Rest assured emperor, after today's work, the minister immediately began to prepare for the selection of scientific research personnel and technicians by the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering." Zhang Nan said.
"Well, okay, let's scatter the dynasty, this scattered dynasty is still a little different today, it is still scattered outside this Taiji Palace, haha." After Li Er finished speaking, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back, and Liu Bing hurriedly shouted: "Retreat." ”
After hearing this, the ministers all went back to their respective jobs, but Kong Yingda took the initiative to walk to Mo Zu's side, and said to Mo Zu with a smile: "I don't know if Mo Zu can come to the cold house for a reunion?" ”
Although Mozu didn't know Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda was the leader of Confucianism after all, and Mozu naturally wanted to know him, so he said: "Master Kong is polite, please." ”
Kong Yingda also made a "please" gesture, and then the two left together.
Everyone left, but Zhang Nan didn't leave, because Zhang Nan wanted to tell Li Er in advance about letting himself out, after all, this matter is a big deal, if Li Er doesn't let Zhang Nan go, then Zhang Nan wants to make a lot of money in the coal business, it is unlikely.
Zhang Nan didn't take a few steps before he caught up with Li Er's pace, and Zhang Nan shouted behind him: "Your Majesty, wait." ”
Li Er heard it, turned his head, found Zhang Nan following behind him, and asked strangely, "Qingquan, do you have anything else?" ”
Zhang Nan heard Li Er ask himself, so he said: "There is a matter, but the emperor should find a place to sit down and talk slowly, because this matter is more troublesome." ”
Li Er glanced at Zhang Nan suspiciously, but didn't ask more, just continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, Zhang Nan also followed behind Li Er honestly, and after Li Er and Zhang Nan arrived at the imperial study, Li Er sat on the chair, picked up the cup of tea that the palace people had just made, took a sip and asked, "Say, what's so mysterious." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister asks the emperor to find an excuse to release the minister as an official at that time." Zhang Nan said.
Li Er was about to swallow the second sip of tea in his stomach, and when he heard Zhang Nan say this, Li Er was immediately choked.
"Ahem, what did you say." Li Er took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and asked with a shocked expression.
It has always been the ministers who sharpened their heads and squeezed into Chang'an City, because Chang'an City is the political center of the entire Tang Dynasty, and no matter how big the officials do outside, it is not useless, because they can't touch the core of the Datang political circle at all, but how can this still run out.
"The minister said, Your Majesty, you should let the ministers go as a way." Zhang Nan repeated his words.
"You give me a reason." Although Li Er was shocked, considering Zhang Nan's personality of doing things out of the box before, Li Er was also willing to continue to listen to Zhang Nan's proposal to be released as an official.
