Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Trip to Wannian County
However, when Empress Changsun told Li Er what she thought, she got an answer that she didn't expect.
"Do you really think that bastard can't think of it? This time, he just communicated with me with a message, if you don't believe it, wait for two days and take a look, there will definitely be recruitment notices posted all over Chang'an. Li Er said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"In that case, why does the second brother always have to be smart?" The eldest grandson asked with some curiosity.
According to the original temperament of Empress Changsun, she would not ask about this matter at all, it must be related to the government after all, and she is not good to participate too much. But once Li Chengqian is involved, this is not just a matter of government affairs, so she still can't help but ask the free lord.
"If the name is not right, the word is not good. If he doesn't break it, I'm afraid that he will fall into the handle in the future, involving tens of thousands of people, how can it be so simple. Lao Li paced to the edge of the rocking chair, nudged the back of the chair, and said a little distractedly.
Although Comrade Lao Li could not understand Li Chengqian's set of fancy intestines, judging from his many years of experience in the court, if he really operated according to Li Chengqian's method, he was afraid that there would be more hidden dangers in the future.
"Second brother still wants to push Gao Ming to the front?" The eldest grandson asked with some concern.
Speaking of some highly logical political affairs, it is difficult for the eldest grandson to understand, which is her weakness, but if you talk about conspiracy and calculation, with her super sixth sense, the eldest grandson is not inferior to Li Erhalf at all.
"Isn't it good? A little longer is not a bad thing for him. Li Er turned his head to look at the eldest grandson and said.
"Second brother is not afraid of abolishing Gao Ming?" After all, it is his own flesh and blood, and he is pushed out by Li Er every day to fight with those old foxes, how can the eldest grandson not feel distressed.
"Guanyin, you underestimate your precious son too much, that bastard boy is not worse than those old foxes in terms of calculation except for his experience, don't be deceived by him pretending to be stupid every day." Li Er shook his head and denied the eldest grandson's worries.
From beginning to end, Li Er thought that there was something wrong with Li Chengqian's Carboniferous Division, but he couldn't find out what the problem was.
Li and his wife were discussing Li Chengqian, but as the main object of the discussion, Li Chengqian did not have the slightest consciousness.
After leaving the Li Zheng Palace, he returned to the unruly state of the past, and the old man did not say that he was not allowed to go to Chang'an and Wannian counties to ask for land, so he had to settle this matter quickly tomorrow.
As the so-called law does not prohibit it as allowed, just like driving on the road, if the roadside prohibits the turning sign, then you can turn a reason.
So since Lao Li didn't prohibit it, it should be regarded as acquiescence.
If the eldest grandson could know what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely give Li Er a high thumbs up and say, "High." ”
An afternoon without the disturbance of Old Man Xiao was extraordinarily peaceful, after dinner, lying on the bed silently thinking about his own affairs, and fell asleep unconsciously. Life without computers, TVs, and mobile phones made Li Chengqian slowly develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Perhaps because of his heart, Li Chengqian tried to doze off a few times in the early dynasty to make time pass faster, but he never succeeded.
finally got up, but the result was scattered.
So when he saw Changsun Chong, Li Chengqian kept yawning, as if he hadn't slept well all night.
"Cousin, be temperate, you hurt your body like this." When Li Chengqian yawned for the seventh time, the eldest grandson Chong said earnestly.
Temperance? Looking at his small hands, Li Chengqian was extremely depressed, and wanted to say that he had done nothing but do it.
But how can such cowardly words come out of a man's mouth. So Li Chengqian's eighth yawn was directly held in his lungs, turned into a burp and spewed out, and then ...... I hiccups all the way, and I didn't stop even if I entered the Wannian County Office.
"Minister Cui Ran, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wannian County Commander is also a five-grade official, and he has also attended the court meeting, and he still knows Li Chengqian.
"Excuse me, sit down." Li Chengqian waved his hand and picked a guest seat to sit down.
He is here to do something, not to find faults, so there is no need to make Cui Ran unhappy and add unnecessary trouble for a seat.
"I don't know what happened to His Highness in the small county?" Cui Ran looked at Li Chengqian, and then at Changsun Chong, who had not spoken all the time, and asked.
The eldest grandson Chong naturally knew him, the eldest son of the Shangshu family in the Ministry of Officials, if Cui Ran didn't know him, this official was afraid that he would be able to do it.
"I guess Master Cui knows about the matter of the Acting Shi Tan Division of the main palace, right?" Li Chengqian's fingers tapped lightly on the arm of the chair and asked in a deep voice.
"The lower official knows." Because of the Shi Tan Division, Li Chengqian and the Wang family have a lot of fighting methods, Cui Ran, as a five-member Beijing official, how can he not know that he is acting in charge of the Shi Coal Division.
"That's good, this palace came to Master Cui today for the matter of the Carboniferous Division." Li Chengqian said lightly.
"This, Your Highness, I don't know what the Carboniferous Division has to do with the small county?" Cui Ran asked a little puzzled.
"My Shitani Division plans to build a farm in Wannian County, and I hope that Master Cui will approve the land." Li Chengqian looked at Cui Ran and said.
"I don't know how many acres Your Highness needs?" With the mentality of sending the plague god, Cui Ran asked.
"Mu? What about Lady Choi sending Hanako? Before Li Chengqian could say anything, Changsun Chong interjected, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, although he shouted Master Cui in his mouth, but there was no trace of respect in his words.
"Master Cui, if you need a few acres of land, do you think I will come in person?" When asked about Cui Ran, Li Chengqian only frowned, and it was not as intense as Changsun Chong's performance.
A bad feeling rose from the bottom of Cui Ran's heart, and he asked Li Chengqian: "Your Highness said a number, if I ...... in Wannian County?"
"Three hundred! Not a single point less. Without waiting for Cui Ran to finish speaking, Changsun Chong stretched out three fingers and said with a sneer.
"What? Impossible, I don't have so much land in Wannian County. After listening to what Changsun Chong said, Cui Ran couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the chair suddenly.
In the Tang Dynasty, the number of acres was calculated in steps, and the standard of one mu of land was one step wider, two hundred and forty steps long, and one hundred acres was one tilt. Therefore, 300 tilts of land is equivalent to a rectangular shape with a length of 3,750 steps and a width of 1,920 steps.
Such a large piece of land was directly taken away, and Cui Ran didn't want to accept it anyway.
"Master Cui, don't be impatient, I, Li Chengqian, am not unkind, three hundred tilts are just like what my cousin said, I can't do anything less, but I don't want your good land." Li Chengqian's words were plain, without a trace of fireworks, but they contained a meaning that could not be refused.
"Your Highness, the land in my Wannian County is indeed insufficient, please ...... Your Highness" Cui Ran looked at the eldest grandson who couldn't stop sneering, and decided to talk to Li Chengqian and said, it is best to send him to Chang'an County.
"Lord Cui, it's better to agree quickly, and the two of us brothers should go to Chang'an County, otherwise General Cheng will come to talk, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to send him away without six hundred." I have to say that Changsun Chong's 'white face' is good, and he plays a dogleg to the fullest.
