Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 246 Goodbye Li Er

"I heard that there is a genius doctor in Guitang Zhuangzi, and he is called Daoist Qingxiazi, isn't it true?" Li Er mentioned Qingxiazi intentionally or unintentionally. Qingxiazi has seen him before. In the presence, it all goes wrong.

"Daoist Qingxiazi, I went out to see a doctor early in the morning. Ever since I finished seeing the doctor on behalf of the king, the Taoist priest has not been idle. It's not that the Wang's family is uncomfortable today, but it's the father's tomorrow. Qingxia It’s not easy for Taoist Zi to refuse, anyway, these few days have been very hard.” Jin Yu thought that Li Er was going to ask about his wife, so he hurriedly told Qing Xiazi that he was extremely busy, and if Li Er really blamed him, it would relieve him a little. Guilty isn't it?Qingxiazi is a Taoist priest with no identity. The princes want to invite him, but if he doesn't go, he doesn't know how to flatter him. If you really blame him, go and settle the score with those princes!Jin Yu thought to himself.

"It's been a long time since I heard Qingxiazi's Taoist name, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet him. It's a pity." Li Eryi felt relieved when he heard that Qingxiazi was not there, and said polite words.

"Oh? Daoist Qingxiazi has been busy seeing a doctor these days. It is really difficult to see a doctor now, because he is afraid of misdiagnosis, so anyone with status wants to hire a famous doctor. Since the uncle met the Daoist priest, it is not a small Nephew sent someone to invite Daoist Qingxiazi? Uncle came from a long way, why should my nephew let you meet?" Jin Yu defended Qingxiazi, then changed his style, he knew Qingxia Zizi had met Li Er, but he didn't know what Li Er's expression would be when the two met. Jin Yu was looking forward to it, with a little evil expectation.

"Now it's so difficult for princes to see a doctor, let alone the common people. Forget it. Daoist Qingxiazi sees a doctor for a prince. Maybe he still has time to see a doctor for the people. Daoist Qingxiazi is busy with business. We can't delay other people's medical consultation, can we? I will definitely visit again next time I have a chance. This time, I can't help but be overjoyed to have Mr. Gui Tang accompany me. If I see Daoist Qingxiazi again, I'm sure my joy will turn into sadness." Li Er was worried about the country and the people in the front, but later he told the truth half-jokingly.

"Success." Jin Yu looked at Li Er and planned to be exposed, so he joked: "Master Qingxiazi's medical skills and Taoism are really first-class. It's just that I don't pay much attention to personal hygiene. If you come I'm afraid uncle will lose his appetite."

"Haha, that's really the case." Li Er laughed heartily, recalling the eunuch's report in the palace at that time.

"Little nephew, do you remember that uncle is not in the Ministry of Households? It's been a year since he was promoted to the Ministry of Industry?" Jin Yu always has some bad tastes, and wants to see how His Majesty Li Er is avoiding embarrassing situations today.

"It's Tang's fault to say it!" Li Er didn't disappoint Jin Yu, he was proficient in Tai Chi pushing hands, took a sip of the shaved ice that Jin Yu scooped him up, and concealed his expression.

"Oh? Little nephew isn't that capable, is he? Little nephew has never mentioned you to outsiders." Jin Yu pulled himself out, showing that he didn't know anything about it.

"Didn't Guitang get some cement or something? Thanks to His Majesty's favor, I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry to take charge of this matter." Li Eryin boasted himself and explained the reason.

"So it's really my nephew's fault." Jin Yu gave Li Er a thumbs up in his heart, seeing that he lied so well that there was no flaw at all. "My nephew wants to toast uncle with a few glasses of wine later, it's my nephew's apology to uncle."

"What crime do you pay for? Serve the imperial court." Li Er waved his hand, signaling Jin Yu not to take it to heart.

"Hey, isn't that uncle more tired than before?" Li Er revealed all the righteousness, and Jin Yu really didn't know whether he should accompany him for this crime.

"Well, I'm tired a lot." Li Er nodded, as if he was really in charge of the Ministry of Industry, "This cement is indeed a sharp weapon. The Turkic side has already built a city, and it will take another three to five years. Hexi can sit back and relax and be controlled by the imperial court."

"That's really a blessing from the imperial court, the uncle has contributed a lot!" Jin Yu flattered him.

"I don't dare to take the credit, it's all done by the officials under him." Li Er waved his hand modestly, "This cement can not only be built in a short period of time, but the road construction is also a must. By this time next year, it is estimated that Chang'an and the roads in all directions will be full. If it can be repaired, it will be convenient to transport food and so on. If you really count it, Gui Tang, the inventor, deserves a lot of credit!"

"My little nephew is just messing around. If it weren't for His Majesty's insightful eyes, who would have thought of such a big benefit?" Jin Yu didn't dare to take credit for this, but just excused himself for messing around.

"It's too modest to return to Tang, haha." Li Er enjoyed Jin Yu's flattery very much. He thought that what he got from this kind of communication was the truth, otherwise he would not like any private visits in microservices, just to hear the truth.

"Hey." Jin Yu patted his head, and accepted Li Er's praise with a restrained appearance. Since he kept giving him credit, it's not appropriate to refuse again and again, isn't it?Then accept it, just don't know if there is a reward or something.

"Guitang don't have to be embarrassed, Guitang is a great talent, and everything he said before is right." Li Er saw that Jin Yu was a little embarrassed, and thought he was self-effacing, and continued to count Jin Yu's credit, "I don't know if Guitang still remembers Did you ever advise Duke Dai about military training on the plateau?"

"Uh``````" Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, how could Jin Yu not remember?She was gouged out by Qin Qiong that time, but Li Jing really said it!Seeing that Li Er mentioned it now, he answered bravely, "That's what happened."

"Guitang is really good at predicting things! After half a year, that method really works." Li Er nodded. He appreciated Jin Yu's ideas very much. These ideas have no side effects, and they are all good ways to govern the country.At least this plateau military training is to lay a good foundation for the future conquest of Tuyuhun and Tubo, it just costs a little money``````
"I don't dare to be my nephew, it's still Dai Guogong and his old man's insightful eyes. My nephew was just whimsical at the time." Jin Yu refused to admit that he had mentioned those methods for a purpose. Qin Qiong's words of emotion a few days ago were recorded in Jin Yu's heart: Fortunately, you kid put all your heart and soul into Zhuangzi, otherwise, if you are too old-fashioned to plan things, you will definitely end up with nothing good.

"It's your credit, it's yours. What's the point of being modest?" Seeing Jin Yu's appearance, Li Er felt more at ease. Jin Yu had no military power and was young. With these few credits, he was promoted to an official. It's not a big problem to add a noble, but he is still young to use these thoughts to rebel.

"Hey, my nephew was talking nonsense when I was drunk, but if my uncle didn't mention it today, my nephew would have forgotten it." Youth is also a capital, at least Jin Yu can pretend to be stupid and vague on some issues like he is now.

"Slippery!" Li Er pointed at Jin Yu and said helplessly.Now Li Jing has the idea of ​​retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown. It is understandable that he is afraid of being a master of high achievements, but Jin Yu is as thoughtful as an old man. Apart from saying that he doesn't want to get involved, what other reasons can there be?Still don't trust the court!
"Hey." Jin Yu pretended to be stupid again, just be slick, it's better than losing your life, right?I'm afraid there are not many people who can be judged as slippery by the current head of state, right?I'm slick, I'm proud!

Jin Yu was at Ah Q when he saw Han Wu bringing in the food box with two servants. From what that meant, Li Yifeng had already tasted it.

"Uncle, do you think we should move to the house?" Jin Yu tentatively asked.

"It's good here, Fengliang." Li Er shook his head to reject Jin Yu's intention, and then demanded: "The wine I drank last time is really good, I wonder if Gui Tang still has it?"

"Yes! Be full, hehe." Jin Yu beckoned and asked Han Wu to get the wine, and helped the servants put the dishes on the table.

"Well, this meat is good, isn't it pork?" Li Er tasted the braised pork with chopsticks and asked knowingly.

"Yeah, if you want to say that the braised pork is only suitable for pork, other meats can't be made, and they don't have such a thick fat." Jin Yu replied confidently when Li Er asked about cooking skills.

"I don't eat less pork than usual. I've never seen such a fat pig. It's a pig raised in Guitang's own farm?" Li Er asked with a sip of his wine.

"Well, the farmers raise it themselves. They mix the leftovers from the restaurant with the bran from the noodle mill. The meat grows fast and there is a lot of fat, so it sells very quickly." Jin Yu could see what Li Er meant. , replied very cooperatively.

"No wonder, Guitang has a solution." Li Er nodded and praised, and then asked: "It seems that I didn't see sheep on Guitang Zhuangzi, why didn't I raise sheep?"

"Sheep grow too slowly, and this method cannot be used to feed them, so it is not cost-effective." Jin Yu replied from an economic point of view.

"Haha, Guitang is really thoughtful. All these can be thought of for the farmers. The farmers in your village are enjoying themselves." Li Er laughed loudly when he heard this, and he could tell from the clothes and demeanor on the way here The farmers on Zhuangzi have changed a lot and become much richer.

"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to sell sweet potatoes yourself." Jin Yu said with a smile.

"Sweet potato?" Li Er asked suspiciously.

"It's sweet potatoes. There is a saying in my nephew's hometown. Being an official does not make decisions for the people. It is better to sell sweet potatoes at home. My nephew can learn from it." Jin Yu explained to Li Er.

"Well said!" Li Er praised, and then sighed: "It would be great if all the officials think so. If Gui Tang is an official, he will definitely be a good official for the people!"

"My nephew is not that kind of material." Jin Yu shook his head and said: "There is a saying in my hometown that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. My nephew belongs to this kind of person. If he is really in charge, he must be searching for land He's a good hand, hehe." Hearing what Li Er said, Jin Yu didn't hesitate to belittle what he said, he just wanted to live a good life as a landlord, and become an official?That was really filling.

"Haha! Returning to Tang, returning to Tang, you are cunning and have a pure heart!" Li Er pointed at Jin Yu with his chopsticks in an imageless manner.

"Hey, my little nephew comes up with bad ideas at most. Being an official, he must be a corrupt official, and he is hugely corrupt. My little nephew knows me very well." Seeing that Li Er had a high opinion of him, Jin Yu still belittled himself.

Seeing that Jin Yu was so determined, Li Er no longer insisted on being an official, and changed the subject and asked: "Don't tell me, this old man has a difficult problem these two days, can Gui Tang give this old man some advice? "

"Uh``````" Jin Yu didn't expect Li Er to change the topic so smoothly, and he talked about this point, and he didn't know how to flatter if he didn't agree, so he said: "My nephew can't guarantee the idea Can enter the uncle's eyes."

"It's better to have an idea than no idea." Li Er listened to Jin Yu's words selectively, and then talked about his difficult problem about Korea.

"Well``````" Regarding Goryeo, anyone who has a little bit of history knows the key points of using troops before and after Zhenguan. Yang Ying's father conscripted three times, Li's two relatives once, and Li Zhi once again. It was a waste of time and money. what!
"If you have an idea, you can go to Tang directly." Li Er looked at Jin Yu's frowned brows and knew that he had an idea, so he asked expectantly.

It is a waste of money for the people, maybe this person has a member of his own village, and he can save some if he can. With this attitude, Jin Yu said: "If my nephew says something bad, uncle, please don't mind it. When the gust of wind blows, it will gone."

"It's okay to return to Tang." Li Er put down his chopsticks and pretended to ask for advice humbly.

Jin Yu picked up the wine glass, ignored Li Er, and drank a glass by himself, thinking that he was talking about the wine. "The problem of the biological chain, my nephew told my uncle last time, as long as I study it thoroughly, and try to harm the beneficial birds and insects on their side, there will be no harvest in three to five years, which is enough for Korea to drink a pot Besides, there are Silla and Baekje to the east of Goryeo, right? Have you read "Three Kingdoms"? The three brothers have lived together for a long time, and there must be some conflicts? , as long as there is a fight over there, the pressure on our side will be much lighter. We just need to provoke them, send some food, weapons, and grant them some land in Korea. If the provocation is skillful enough, we can even let them go without sending troops. The three brothers have been fighting for ten or eight years, and maybe that corner will belong to our Tang Dynasty."

"It's a good way to fight against others without fighting. It's good! Haha! Returning to Tang is a good way! It's just a little bit of a loss." Li Er was overjoyed when he heard that, this is simply bloodless!Time, he can afford to wait.As for excuses and contradictions, Li Er, a political master, played very well, and Jin Yu's method was very suitable for him, so he didn't forget to tease Jin Yu in the end.

Jin Yu is embarrassing, copying the method of Li Er's descendants, the retribution will come quickly, this is the retribution of the present world, right?No, you can't admit this even if you kill him, otherwise, after Li Eryi's publicity, you will become a wretched and obscene negative image. "Uncle don't say it's my nephew's idea when I go outside, my nephew won't admit it even if I beat him to death."

"Why don't you admit it?" Li Er was still surprised. It is impossible to say on a large scale, but it is necessary to discuss it in the court on a small scale. If it is calculated, Jin Yu can also get a lot of credit.

"It's too detrimental, shameful, it's detrimental to my nephew's glorious image``````" Jin Yu said with an embarrassing face.

"Haha``````" Li Er pointed at Jin Yu's face and laughed without hesitation.
