Chapter 72 Digging a hole

Slapping a sweet date is also a method often used by superiors. I have to say that this method is very easy to use.

If these people's illegal income is taken away, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. After they go back, they may have to hold back and find trouble for Li Xiang. Even if there is a team specifically to check the number of people, they will find loopholes from other places. Li Xiang It is impossible for Xiang to stop his vision only here.

So now you have to give them a hope, a hope that can change your entire family.

If you keep working in the farm, no matter how many generations you live, you will still be an ordinary citizen. At most, you can only have food to eat, and your life will be slightly better than that of the common people outside.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all wanted to join the scholar-bureaucrat class, but unfortunately many of them were not good at studying. Even if they knew a few words, it would be extremely difficult to pass the imperial examination to reach the top.

So at this time, another way emerged, that is, the master rewarded the family background.

Take the current Li Xiang as an example. Whether it is the East Palace or other yamen, he can put his own people in. As long as he starts this, even though he is the lowest-status petty official, for a family, he is still a subordinate. A fresh start.

Of course, no matter which position you sit in, in the eyes of others, you are Li Xiang's person. If you betray Li Xiang, you may be successful in speculation in the future and you will be infamy for a lifetime. Don't expect that. Others can get close to you.

Of course, for these people now, they don't care about this. Even if they are to be Li Xiang's dog for the rest of their lives, they still hope to be a dog that stands tall.

"Tian Kui, if I remember correctly, your eldest son should be nineteen, right?"

In Li Xiang's memory, Tian Kui had four sons and one daughter.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering my family's affairs. The eldest son of mine is in charge of watering the fields."

Tian Kui was so excited that he almost shed tears. His Highness said this in front of so many people, which meant that he was treated differently from others. Even if some people wanted to compete with him, they had to weigh their abilities. , especially Zhang Xifa next to him.

"The Imperial City Si Yamen is about to be established. I have 300 case-handling yamen under me. Although they are not popular among the ninth rank, they are still paid by the imperial officials. Let your boss take care of them and come to the palace in the afternoon. I Let someone teach him.”

Li Xiang said in an understatement, but the eyes of the following people were almost burning. They also had similar good young men in their families, and they also thought about having such an opportunity. For Li Xiang, starting from the ninth rank was nothing. Their hairs are thicker than his, but it's different for these people. This is a class leap.

In the 21st century, Li Xiang might reward a deputy mayor with just one sentence. For these honest farmers, the official position of deputy mayor would be a dream.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."

Tian Kui knelt down in front of Li Xiang and banged his head. Finally, someone saw his hard work over the years. No matter how hard he worked in the past, Li Chengqian only focused on money and never rewarded anyone.

If things go on like this, many people will become discouraged. Without any rewards, they will work hard for you when they are full, unless you are brain-dead.

"Get up, this is what you deserve. Including you, during this season's grain harvest, if you can reach the number specified by the king, then everyone will be rewarded. The two families with the highest unit output will all be given by the king. An origin."

When these people wanted to show their loyalty, Li Xiang did not ask them to talk nonsense, but told them his reward. This was much better than giving money. Who doesn't have a son or grandson at home? If I could work beside His Highness, it would be a blessing to the Qian family.

One minute, Tian Kui's son was just like us, working in the fields at most, but now he is an official, what happened to the ninth grade? If this goes to the countryside, rich people from all over the country will have to provide for it.

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he asked the patrol team to set off with them with the seeds, supply seeds according to the amount of the field, and at the same time supervise these people to plant the seeds.

"Father."

When Li Xiang turned the corner and was about to go back, he bumped into Li Chengqian standing in the corner.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiang like a monster, which made Li Xiang feel uncomfortable all over his body. It's no wonder that Li Chengqian had this look in his eyes. This was simply not what a child could think of. What was going on in Li Xiang's mind? ? Even his biological father Li Chengqian wanted to open it and take a look.

"Does father have any teachings?"

Li Xiang's back was so hairy that his father was about to pry his head open.

"This thing was done well."

Li Chengqian didn't know how to evaluate his son. After all, compared with his son, he was too ridiculous before, so he could only say these few words.

"What do you think about the Korean spies?"

Li Xiang knew that Li Chengqian had something to say. Although this old man never left the East Palace, he still had unique views on many things. This time he came to the door and he must have something to remind him.

"Follow the clues and defeat them one by one."

Li Xiang answered without thinking that these people were worms in the Tang Dynasty. If they were left alive, they would bring many disadvantages to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Have you ever thought about it? We all know that they are harmful to the Tang Dynasty, but why are they still alive today?"

Li Chengqian did not evaluate Li Xiang's strategy, but pointedly talked about the fundamental issue.

Protected by the powerful!

These four words flashed in Li Xiang's mind, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. Seeing his son's expression, Li Chengqian nodded happily. His son's thinking ability was indeed very strong. He nodded slightly, He will be able to find the problem.

It's right to think about it. Changsun Wuji is the most powerful official. He is usually responsible for finding troubles with these spies, but he hasn't dealt with these matters clearly, which means that he can't afford to offend these powerful people.

"Didn't my grandpa dig another hole for me?"

Li Xiang instantly felt his hands and feet feel cold. He originally thought it was just a simple matter of catching a spy, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big trap.

"I've dug a hole for you and your second uncle to see who of you uncle and nephew can rule the world."

When Li Chengqian said this, he felt a little lonely in his heart. He should have been competing with Li Tai, but now he has let his son take the lead. He is really not a competent father...
