When Du He rolled his eyes, he figured out the meaning of Li Wangyou's words, holding back a smirk: "I just told you to get out!"
"...I'll kill you!"
While the dudes were laughing and playing, Li Er was embarrassed by Wei Zheng's words in front of the Hall of Virtuous Virtue.
"Wei Gong, I'm afraid this is not right, he is only sixteen after all..."
343 Founding County
Li Er and Wei Zheng were naturally talking about Li Wangyou.
Faced with Li Er's hesitation, Wei Zheng looked upright: "Your Majesty, horses are the country's military equipment. If the heavens take away its equipment, the country will perish. The man from Hu County's contribution to this horseshoe is no less than that of opening up the territory. It is such a remarkable achievement." , how can you not reward it because you are young?"
Li Er hesitated and said: "Of course I agree with Duke Wei's words. But Ziyou, after all, he has only been knighted for more than a month. If he is knighted again, will this be a bit counterproductive?"
It turned out that Wei Zheng actually advised Li Er just now, demanding that Li Er be rewarded with a title for the contribution of a man from Hu County who contributed horseshoes.
Li Er was quite hesitant about Wei Zheng's suggestion.
It's not that he is reluctant to give up the title. To be honest, with Li Wangyou's credit, it was already considered a disadvantage to confer the title of the last male of the founding county.
The four-wheeled carriage, after a large number of trial production by the Ministry of Industry, found that the use of this carriage to transport grain, grass and luggage was not only several times faster than before, but the loss was reduced to [-]% of the original.
Just this one thing made Longyou Dao, which was in precarious situation, settled down.
The military pressure on Longyou Dao is very high, especially in order to defend against the Western Turks, Datang has always wanted to invest heavily here.However, due to the difficulty of supply, the Longyou Road of Nuoda has only a few thousand troops stationed.
The distance from Chang'an City to several important prefectures and counties on Longyou Road exceeded two thousand miles.Before Li Wangyou came up with the four-wheeled carriage, it took a month or two for the ox cart to transport the grain and grass from Chang'an to Longyou.
Passers-by ate horse chews, and none of the goods that arrived in Longyou survived.
After the Ministry of Industry trial-produced a four-wheeled carriage, it used four horse-drawn carriages to travel from Chang'an City to Longyou Prefecture County, but it took only about [-] days.
At one time, enough grain and grass for thousands of people and horses to be used for a year were transported.
This greatly relieved the military pressure on Longyou, and even began to be able to infiltrate countries in the Western Regions.
After getting enough supplies, there were even voices from the court to discuss whether to attack Gaochang.
In short, what the seemingly inconspicuous four-wheeled carriage brought to Datang was not just a means of transportation.
Now the horseshoe that Li Wangyou made has no less significance to the Tang Dynasty than a four-wheeled carriage.Therefore, Wei Zhengcai bluntly remonstrated and asked Li Er to knight Li Wangyou again.
"Your Majesty, there are twelve potential ministers in Ganluo, why can't Li Ziyou be ennobled? If you don't reward a husband for his meritorious deeds, he will be disappointed in his good deeds! Please think twice, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng persisted and continued to persuade Li Er.
The Empress Changsun next to Li Er, although she never interfered in the government affairs, couldn't help but say at this moment: "Erlang, my concubine thinks Wei Gong's words are reasonable."
Even Empress Changsun spoke up, so Li Er didn't struggle anymore.He pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "What Guanyin's servant girl and Wei Gong said is very true, I have been taught."
The title of Tang Dynasty is a conferment granted by the emperor to nobles and heroes.How to award the reward, Li Er can decide with one word, without discussing with the officials.
Li Er asked the servants to recruit Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and whispered some instructions, but he heard Lao Fang and Lao Du's classmates couldn't help turning their eyes to Li Wangyou, who was still fighting with the dudes.
This young man is amazing!
Looking at his own son next to him, Lao Fang and Lao Du, the two big court officials, felt a little suffocated. Sure enough, the topic of "other people's children" has never been avoided since ancient times.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't express any doubts about Li Er's order, they nodded and went to work.
After Li Wangyou fought with the dudes, he walked up to Li Er excitedly, and was going to ask Li Er about building a polo field and a polo league.
Before he could speak, he saw Fang Xuanling standing beside Li Er, holding a roll of yellow silk.
"There is a system! Li Wangyou, the founding father of Hu County, received the edict!"
Fang Xuanling's words immediately silenced the chaotic scene in front of the Wude Hall.
What decree was issued at this time?
Among the hundreds of officials, there are naturally shrewd people.Reminiscent of horseshoes, he immediately guessed the content of the imperial decree. It is likely that this 16-year-old man from Hu County will be promoted to the rank of knight again!
"Under the door: Li Wangyou, the founding man of Hu County, has made great contributions to the country... the founding son of Xunhu County, he gave ten thousand gold, [-] households in the food town, and [-] households in the food city. The master will implement it..."
As Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui wrote this hastily, and Li Eryong's imperial edict was promulgated, Li Wangyou couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
He was promoted again?
This was a bit beyond his expectation, he didn't expect Li Er to be so generous.
My title changed from Huxiannan to Huxianzi, which seemed so nice.
All the officials talked about it, and their envy was beyond words.
No one stood up to object, even if the aristocratic family and Li Wangyou did not deal with it, they knew that with Li Wangyou's dedication to the horseshoe, just conferring the title of Kai Guozi was considered harsh treatment.
"Congratulations to Mr. Huxian, who moved to the imperial court. Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Huxian Zi, congratulations to His Majesty!"
"Huxianzi, congratulations, the old man has long seen that Huxianzi has an extraordinary bearing, and he must not be a thing in the pool."
Li Wangyou was promoted to the title, in front of everyone, even if he was a powerful family, he could only hold his nose, go up to congratulate him, and say a few polite words.
For everyone's congratulations, Li Wangyou could only return the greeting with a smile, the muscles on his face almost cramp from laughing.
In fact, being promoted to the title of title does not mean much to Li Wangyou today.He didn't want to be an official, let alone intervene in government affairs.
For him, Jianguo county male and Jianguo county son are just a difference in title.
What Li Wangyou needed was just a talisman, an honorable status to protect himself and his beautiful boss, that's all.
As a dick who has no ambitions and wants to live and die in the Tang Dynasty, too high a title is actually a burden.
But others naturally wouldn't see it that way, and all the dandies were envious of this, clamoring to let Li Wangyou go to Pingkangfang to treat him.
This group of hooligans just wanted to drink flower wine with the ladies and sisters, Li Wangyou looked at the dandies with contempt, and under the pressure of everyone, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
But he hasn't forgotten about building a polo field and organizing a polo league.
Datang's cultural and entertainment life is really boring. After finally finding a sport he likes, he naturally wants to make it more lively and pass his boring time.
Taking advantage of Li Er's happiness, Li Wangyou put forward his suggestion again.
This time Wei Zheng didn't object, as long as the horses wouldn't be injured and worn out by the beating, in fact, Yangbi Gong was also interested in beating.
Although Li Er was also interested in the league proposed by Li Wangyou, he couldn't help hesitating when he heard that a polo stadium with tens of thousands of seats was to be built.
"Ziyou, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is not yet rich, and the construction of this polo field may cost a lot, and the court really cannot afford it..."
