Chapter 503

Li Dahe sat in the main hall for only a while before returning to his study. He gave birth to such a good son, Li Dahe was satisfied and ignored everything at home, leaving the eldest son to make the decision.

Li Zhongyi was already one of the eight ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was the most important minister and the important task of shining his family was actually completed.

Let's go one step further? Li Da and this pseudo-literati who advocates Confucianism really didn't dare to think about it. What he was thinking about now was how to use the power of his eldest son to make all the male members of the entire family enter the official career and become officials.

In a society with strict patriarchal law, it is not really good to be a person. The reason why a real big family is evergreen is that they are relatives who pull each other forward, and juniors who are officials emerge one after another.

Everything is inferior, but only high school students can study. If you break these words apart, it is actually implicitly that you can be a high official!

The salt merchants of the Great Zhou Kingdom were indeed extremely generous, spending money like soil, and seemed extremely glorious. However, once there was a turmoil, the huge billions of wealth would be destroyed by the officials in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhongyi’s fifth cousin is a distinct example. His own son was caught by Chai Yuniang casually. No matter how much money you pay, it will not be worth it.

Mrs. Xue grabbed Li Zhongyi who wanted to leave and asked him with a smile: "When I was walking around today, I happened to see the princess of the Chai family entering the mansion. You..." She was still unsatisfied, but her gossip was revealed.

Li Zhongyi is not good enough to tell the truth now, but if there is no trace of the wind, there will be big problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

The mother and son have no overnight revenge, and no matter how powerful the quarrel is, they will not have a knot. It is different to marry a wife who comes in.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been destined to be a mortal enemy. Marrying a wife and selling a woman is definitely not a false statement from mother-in-law.

"Among, as the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he married the daughter of Situ, he would probably not be able to convince the public in the future." Li Zhongyi did not say it explicitly. He had a lot of thoughts and wanted to get Chai Yuniang to get the help of the conservative and marry him again.

Mrs. Xue was just a humble concubine before, and she had never seen much of the world. Her horizons were naturally not broad.

However, over the past five years, with the rapid improvement of Li Zhongyi's status, Mrs. Xue has changed from a concubine to an old lady in her husband, standing high. She naturally can see farther.

Mrs. Xue looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile. She knew that her son was better than her mother. What kind of personality was the flesh that fell from her belly? Can she not know?

"I just want to hold a few more grandchildren and granddaughters, especially the legitimate ones, and I'm too lazy to care about you for other things." Mrs. Xue was a little angry recently. She took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea that reduced the fire. She said slowly, "But you have a engagement. If there is any change, it's probably hard to understand where you Aye."

Hmm, this is his real mother! At the critical moment, his real mother only asked her position, regardless of right or wrong, which made Li Zhongyi feel warm.

"The two countries are fighting. Moreover, it is impossible to ease up in the future. The marriage between the two important officials who are hostile to each other. Alas. Killing yourself will cause trouble for yourself." The big reason that Li Zhongyi put forward was actually to ask Mrs. Xue to blow the wind beside Li Dahe.

"I know everything about you." After all, Mrs. Xue is a mother who loves her son very much, and her position has long been out of tune.

Li Zhongyi actually had no hope. His biological mother could convince Li Dahe at once. Now, the matter between him and Chai Yuniang has not been even mentioned, but it is just a vaccination in advance.

'Dalang, you are all in your support. I won't say much about anything else. I only recognize Ping'er, the housekeeper." Mrs. Xue also had some thoughts, and there was nothing wrong with saying in front of her own son.

As long as Tang Shuyi always takes charge of the family, Mrs. Xue, the old lady, is the real living ancestor who is just a word.

To put it bluntly, Tang Shuyi obeyed Mrs. Xue's words, lowered her eyebrows and looked smooth, and the two of them had a deep relationship.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "My grandma, everything depends on your wishes, and all children will follow."

No matter how smart Mrs. Xue is, she is just a woman who has lived in the inner house for a long time. The woman in this backyard is difficult to get out of the front door and difficult to get through. If she doesn’t find some entertainment to do, she will be really tired and moldy.

The butler of Tang Shuyi has never had any big trouble for so many years. Not to mention Mrs. Xue’s strong support, Li Zhongyi can also trust her.

Mrs. Xue smiled with satisfaction, and Li Zhongyi was also very satisfied. Tang Shuyi, who was not present, had the status of the wife of the family as stable as Mount Tai. She must be satisfied, and she would definitely win the three wins!

Li Zhongyi came out of the main room and returned to Shuyue Pavilion. From a distance, he saw Chai Yuniang standing in front of the courtyard with his hands on his back, facing up to the sky, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Yu Niang, it's very windy outside, and I'm so cold." Li Zhongyi walked over quickly, took off the cloak on his body, and naturally wrapped it on Chai Yuniang's body.

Li Zhongyi tied the rope button on the cloak with his own hands and took a few steps back consciously, making him look extremely gentle.

Chai Yuniang stared at Li Zhongyi with a pair of beautiful eyes wide open and stared at Li Zhongyi with a weird look. After a while, she murmured: "Why are you so kind to me?"

Li Zhongyi showed a warm smile and said with a little doting, "Your nose looks very much like my dear sister Sweet Girl."

Well, this is simply a magical answer. It is a bit like treating Chai Yu Niang as her sister, but there are also some unexplainable things inside. In short, it is a bit ambiguous.

"I don't want to be your sister." Chai Yuniang spoke very quickly. If it weren't for Li Zhongyi's sharp ears, she wouldn't be able to hear clearly at all.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly. With Chai Yuniang's current emotional state, perhaps he would have the chance to ride her today.

However, Chai Rong is not dead yet. Once Chai Yuniang is jealous and wants to monopolize his backyard, it will be in a big trouble.

"Yu Niang, the wife of the Zhe family is pregnant. I just said that she was uncomfortable..." Li Zhongyi deliberately did not finish her words, leaving room for association.

Chai Yuniang lowered her head and didn't say anything. After a while, she walked towards the door of the mansion without looking back.

Hehe, the little girl was indeed angry. Li Zhongyi narrowed her eyes and calmly observed Chai Yuniang's lonely back. He was secretly grateful in his heart.

Chai Yuniang, who was born in the royal family, is indeed a pretty princess who likes to eat alone. If Li Zhongyi touches her body now, once the trouble starts, hehe, the only one who suffers may be Li Zhongyi, the flower-buried son.

Li Zhongyi sent a carriage to send Chai Yuniang out, but Chai Yuniang ignored the invitation of the coachman. She lowered her head and walked slowly out of the mansion.

If it were the past, Li Zhongyi would have to worry that Chai Yuniang would anger the Li family and cause great trouble.

Now, Li Zhongyi is one of the eight ministers of the dynasty, and his status is still above Chai Yuniang, so he is not afraid of her being irresistible.

No matter how much Chai Rong pampers his sister, after all, the smooth acceptance of the vast rivers and mountains is much more important than his sister.

In other words, Chai Rong will definitely stand up for Chai Yuniang for ordinary trivial matters. However, Li Zhongyi is involved in the overall stability of the court. If Chai Rong does not want to overturn the previous power arrangements, he can only choose to restrain Chai Yuniang.

Of course, if Li Zhongyi was anxious and would ride Chai Yuniang now, and his nature suddenly changed, Chai Rong would definitely give him a marriage immediately.

Li Zhongyi deliberately left Chai Yuniang, so he naturally would not give up halfway and go to please her. As a woman, she must not be careless and she cannot spoil her too hard, so she must be more at ease.

After the second day of court, Li Zhongyi went back to Kaifeng Government Office directly. He should not be on the rotation in the Political Affairs Hall today.

According to the customs of the court, the official seal officials of the prefecture must receive the court enrollment of the officials in the prefecture every day.

However, Li Zhongyi was the prime minister and Kaifeng Yin, and he was impatient with this kind of red tape. He simply passed the message, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he also waived the ceremony of attending the ministers on weekdays.

Guan'er reached Li Zhongyi's level and had an astonishing degree of freedom to govern.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the county and county officials have a life case within their jurisdiction, they must personally take the offense to investigate on site.

The murder case in Kaifeng City is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng County Magistrate on the left and Xiangfu County Magistrate on the right. After the preliminary results, Chengwenfu Office reviewed it again.

The prefect Li Zhongyi, the prefect, could not even go to the court to ask the case publicly, and directly hand it over to the referee in the right hall for interrogation.

Kaifeng Prefecture is the largest prefecture in the world. The left office judge has a higher status and only one. However, due to frequent public security cases, the number of four increased to four during the period when Li Zhongyi led his troops northward.

Li Zhongyi hugged Caijiao with his left hand and held a pen in his right hand and quickly reviewed the official documents. The unique charm of the past is not worthy of being told by outsiders!

The autumn harvest season is coming soon, and the work of urging agricultural taxes in Kaifeng Prefecture will soon be launched.

At this time in previous years, the government office had to send a large amount of manpower to go deep into various counties to supervise the major issues of urging grain and money.

When assessing the performance of prefectures and county officials, tax revenue is definitely the top priority. According to the rules, taxation and grain collection for two consecutive years is unfavorable, and county officials will definitely lose their graves. At the least, they will receive a foolish and incompetent comment, which will seriously affect promotion. At the worst, they will lose their official position and dismiss them and go home to eat themselves.

If Chai Rong was in good health, Li Zhongyi would have long had the idea of ​​reforming the tax collection system.

The imperial power is not inferior to the county, which is indeed a backward organizational form, resulting in the grassroots government affairs or taxation below the county being completely in the hands of the gentry.

Thinking back to the reason why Principal Chang Kaishen’s defeat was closely related to the fact that the regime he controlled did not strictly control the resources and manpower below the county.

When Li Zhongyi's position was at the forefront, he naturally stood higher and saw further. In this era of illiteracy, most farmers were illiterate, could not write, and could not draw, nor could they see the world.

In Li Zhongyi's view, the so-called lower-class people's hearts were only useful when overthrowing the previous dynasty. The farmers were so hungry that they had no way to survive and rose up, resulting in the wars everywhere. Only when the imperial court rulers realized that the peasants who had been oppressed had always erupted.

Even if the emperor and the bureaucrats wanted to care about the ideas of the farmers, they did not have the advanced means of the population and tax census, so they could only do nothing.

In this era, the so-called people's hearts actually refer to the Shilin public opinion that holds the right to speak.

With the assistance of Liu Jinshan and a group of old subordinates in Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Zhongyi, the Kaifeng Yin, lived an extremely comfortable life.

Li Zhongyi comes to work at the government office every day, and only needs to review the official documents with a brief description. There are plenty of free time left.

Hongxiu Tianxiang's office work, after finishing business, Li Zhongyi held a picture album in his hand, making his pretty face turn red and embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, I'm so embarrassed." Although Caijiao has not experienced personnel and affairs, she is indifferent to Li Zhongyi's hands and eyes. Most of the things she should understand should not be understood.

Li Zhongyi held Caijiao, who was half-tied with her dress and said with a smile: "Today, have you brought enough big veil?"

Cai Jiao leaned tremblingly on Li Zhongyi's legs, and almost unaware of her beautiful head, pouted her little red lips, and murmured: "Brother-in-law is dead."

Li Zhongyi laughed and then teased her: "Brother-in-law is not bad, Cai Jiao doesn't love her, right?"

"Brother-in-law, I'll give you a little thought, don't be angry." Cai Jiao looked at Li Zhongyi timidly for fear of making him angry.

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed slightly. Hua Jiao, Rui Jiao, and Zheng were still staying in other villages. No one around Cai Jiao was bewitched. Obviously, she wanted to say now, it must be her true thoughts.

Caijiao is a simple girl. Even if she has some thoughts, she will definitely not be able to hide it in front of Li Zhongyi.

There are many women around Li Zhongyi, but like Caijiao, he is really likable to talk about his romantic personality.

As for men, they are fighting with other men outside and worrying. When they return home, they just want to have a warm and harmonious life. No one wants the women at home to fight and make people feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi's words usually like to tell Fei Meiniang who is indifferent to the world that Caijiao is always with her.

Tang Shuyi and Li Zhongyi shared hardships. He was a nostalgic person. Their relationship was always very good. However, due to the influence of choosing a prince, her mind was slightly heavy, which made Li Zhongyi feel a sense of pressure unconsciously.

God is fair. If you give you certain advantages, you will also give you defects. No one is perfect, no gold is pure!

Li Zhongyi rested his head on Caijiao's legs, put on a comfortable posture, and smiled and said, "Let them all come back."

Seeing his woman being cautious, Li Zhongyi's heart also softened. He wanted to punish Hua Jiao and Rui Jiao before, mainly because he was worried that they were both so he taught Cai Jiao very worldly.

There is no way, Li Zhongyi prefers innocent girls.

"Really?" Before Cai Jiao could say anything, Li Zhongyi had already achieved her wish first. This girl was extremely surprised.

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, when did I cheat you?"

Cai Jiao took the initiative to kiss her happily. Li Zhongyi sniffed the faint fragrance between her hair. Her red lips showed a charming diamond shape, which was very similar to Zheng's mouth.

At this moment, Li Zhongyi's mind suddenly appeared, and a somewhat evil thought: What would it feel if Zheng and Caijiao were lying together?

Mother and daughter flowers, hehe, when will they bloom?

Li Zhongyi was thinking beautifully, and a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, someone is coming from the palace, please enter the palace immediately."

"Prepare the car." Li Zhongyi felt a sudden storm. Chai Rong was lying in bed. At this time, he was called into the palace. Could it be that the emperor's condition had deteriorated sharply?
