Chapter 214: Official Restoration(1/2)
Knowledge is wealth, and ability is also wealth. ~
If you want to gain knowledge or skills, you have to pay a price. If the master leads the apprentice, don’t the apprentice be honest and a servant and punching bag who has no complaints for several years? I have suffered all kinds of grievances in a few years. The master may not be willing to teach you all, and the key abilities are preserved.
For this era, Li Su is also a capable person, and those with ability cannot help in vain.
Unfortunately, even the people and craftsmen understand such simple and easy-to-understand principles, but Yan Lide, the Minister of Works, did not understand them.
Many people have come to see Li Su these days, from officials from the Ministry of Works to officials from the Firearms Bureau. Even the playboys from the Dukes of the country were brought to be lobbyists by Yan Lidra. I have to admire Lao Yan's energy. He has such great skills but doesn't even understand the most basic principle of asking for help. Li Suzhen didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Sakyamuni sat under the Bodhi tree, and a breeze blew, so he suddenly realized.
Newton sat under the apple tree, and an apple fell down, and Newton suddenly realized.
From this we can see that anyone who has realized the truth in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, always sits under the tree. According to this principle, Yan Lide should sit under the durian tree, and perhaps he will understand that asking for help requires some meaning...
Yan Lide kept asking for help, Li Su kept ruling, and things just dragged it down.
If you don’t go, you won’t go without giving me any benefits, this is Li Su’s attitude.
…………
These two months were Li Su's busiest two months. He had never been so busy in his two lives. He had no time to go home. He simply stayed in the firearm bureau and supervised the craftsmen to build firearms day and night to deal with emergencies at any time.
Until October, Chang'an had entered the bitter autumn, and the Firearms Bureau finally fulfilled Li Shimin's request. Twenty thousand thunders were manufactured and sent to the headquarters of Duan Zhixuan, the chief marching manager of the Hebei Road, Songmo Governor's Office.
The Firearm Bureau breathed a sigh of relief, and the last box of thunder was put on a carriage and left. From Li Su to the craftsmen below, he burst into deafening cheers. Li Su waved his hand and the Firearm Bureau was on holiday for half a month. He rode his horse and galloped.
As usual, Xu Jingzong supported the wise decision of the surveillance master with great support. Yang Yan's face turned pale, and he couldn't bear it anymore and had to endure it...
Two days later, the Tai Chi Palace issued an order.
Li Su was restored, and he was reinstated as the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, and was still the head of Jingyang County. The title gold book that was originally collected due to the Dongshi incident was also returned. Li Shimin also specially sent a set of brand new light-scarlet official uniforms.
The expected result, including Li Su and all the court officials, was not surprised. Everyone knows how much Your Majesty values this young man. The so-called demotion of the title is nothing more than a block of the long and leisurely public entries. Now, with Li Su's original assembly line production method, the output of the Firearms Bureau has tripled, and the tasks assigned by Li Shimin were completed as scheduled. Li Suguan's restoration was a natural result.
So, more than three months after being dismissed from office, Li Su stepped into the mud of officialdom again.
On October 15, the 10th year of Zhenguan, Duan Zhixuan, the chief marching officer of Hebei Road, led 100,000 soldiers from two roads in Hebei, Hebei, to perform martial arts at the Songmo Governor's Office on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Xueyantuo.
The Tang Dynasty suddenly made such a big move, which frightened the neighboring countries around the north. After the news came out, within a few days, the khans of Xueyantuo Shiwei and other countries who bordered the north of the Tang Dynasty were panicked. The Zhenzhu Khan and his two sons, who were fighting in the dark, temporarily ceased to fight, and led their troops to gather on the border, watching the Tang army's military exercises uneasy.
The process of martial arts is not important. The 100,000 Tang troops are divided into two sides to confront each other. They attack or defend in a fake manner, and the cavalry and infantry cooperate to attack. The army takes advantage of the situation to lead various offensive or defensive formations, etc.
The martial arts performance ends and the highlight is played.
A team of thousands of elite Tang army cavalry launched an attack on a small hill. While galloping, thousands of thunders blew up the sky and smoked, and raindrops fell on the small hill. After a loud noise like a mountain shaking, the small hill was razed to the ground under everyone's astonishing eyes, and turned into a big smoke pit.
Miracle! A miracle that is unbelievable but real!
Outside the border, the neighboring Khan and the princes who were watching from afar were frightened and sweated. Many of them even turned over and dismounted from their entourage, and prayed to the big pit that was still smoking, muttering various repentances and reverences, which were the same as the Tubo soldiers at the city of Songzhou.
The divine thunder came to the world, and the heroes were intimidated.
Thousands of thunders have played an unparalleled political effect. Imagine that if these dark small cans fall into the crowd of the team that are charging, and then explode one by one, the consequences will feel dark when you think about it.
In recent years, many neighboring countries were hostile to the Tang Dynasty. Neighbors such as the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Shiwei often had frictions with the Tang border troops, and small-scale wars never stopped. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after Li Shimin pacified the Eastern Turks, neighboring countries saw the strong military strength of the Tang Dynasty and finally became honest for several years. However, starting from the tenth year of Zhenguan, these neighboring countries began to get ready again, and border frictions increased.
No matter how coveted the Tang Dynasty was, after seeing the huge power of these thunderstorms today, the Khan and the princes were ready to move as if they were poured with a basin of cold water on their heads and were completely awake.
With this magical artifact, who is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the universe?
The khans of various countries, who were in a state of despair, led their troops back one after another, and they were going to prepare gifts to Khan Tian.
Xue Yantuo Khan and his son were quite special. After returning, they continued to fight without saying a word.
Interestingly, during the day, the father and son fought in blood, but at night they sent their own messengers to Duan Zhixuan's camp. The messengers had different positions, but they expressed the same meaning: they could eat, warm the bed, ask for alliances, and ask for support...
Compared to the fear and tension of neighboring countries, the most depressed person is Duan Zhixuan, the chief marching manager of Hebei Road.
Finally, I was able to lead the troops, but for some reason I had a fight with Cheng Yaojin for no reason and ran all the way to Songmo Governor's Office. But after throwing thousands of thunders, nothing happened...
What about the blood of the grassland men? What about the dignity? You are resisting!
自己挨的那顿揍真冤,点将台上鼻青脸肿还好意思仰天长笑说什么此战大吉,想想自己那样子就觉得蠢……
Manager Duan was caught in self-loathing and could not extricate himself.
******************************************************************
Taiping Village.
Li Suguan’s reinstatement did not cause a sensation. Not many people knew about Li Su being dismissed from office. The villagers worked daily, so where were they in the mood to inquire about the affairs of the officials’ families?
Only Li Daozheng was stunned for a long time after hearing the eunuch's order. When the official was restored, he realized that his son had been dismissed from office before, so he did not say anything and sacrificed the magic weapon, chased and killed the yard for two circles.
The son grew up and could no longer catch up. Li Daozheng gave up the pursuit with sadness and found a corner with a slightly rich literary atmosphere to commemorate his once strong and powerful year.
…………
The official has been restored to his post. It seems that life is no different from the past. When you should be lazy, you still fall on the spot. You have never felt guilty about eating your king's fortune but not worrying about your king's affairs.
God sent me to enjoy my happiness.
This truth is enough to explain any lazy attitude towards life.
Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, Li Su and Wang Zhi squatted on the ground and watched the ant move with great interest. Not far behind them, Zheng Xiaolou, who looked arrogant and lonely, looked around his arms and looked at them with disgust.
I'm too lazy these days. One is the fifth-rank county magistrate, and the other is the new gangster brother of the East City of Chang'an. He is so bored...
"How about urinating into the ant hole?" Wang Zhi's face was filled with strong curiosity.
Li Su showed a disgusting expression: "No, it's so disgusting!"
"Everyone is so bored, do you have to do something?"
"There are all leaders in the ant colony, and there is a white and fat queen inside. She looks quite charming. Otherwise, let's dig the hole and capture the queen and let you tease it? Believe me. This is more promising than peeking at Widow Yang in a bath."
Before Wang Zhi could speak, a "puff" laughter came from behind him.
The two turned their heads and found that Zheng Xiaolou was trying hard to keep his arrogant and lonely appearance just now.
Li Su frowned and lowered his voice and said, "What is the origin of this Zheng Xiaolou? Have you found out about his background?"
Wang Zhi shook his head: "No one knew him, and suddenly emerged from Dongshi. Even the enemy had never heard of him before. He picked it up from the roadside. At that time, he was seriously injured and lying in the alley and was almost dying... What happened to Zheng Xiaolou?"
Li Su sighed: "I think he has many problems, such as facial paralysis, deafness, and muteness. And he also eats a lot..."
Wang Zhi showed a guilty expression: "I'm sorry to you. It's thirty-sixty cents of trouble, enough to buy ten cows..."
"It's okay, I found that he was quite strong. In a few days, he put a plow on him and asked him to plow the land for my father. There were more than 300 acres of land, and he would not give him food if he didn't finish the work of ten cows..."
Not far behind him, Zheng Xiaolou's face gradually turned green, but the two of them were unaware of it and were still whispering.
"I really don't know what other abilities he has besides taking the beating, and he can blow the whistle..." Li Su sighed and shook his head.
"It should be... right?" Wang Zhi was not sure, very unconfident: "Last time in the East City battle, his eyes were full of murderous aura, as if they were really powerful. I think he should be capable..."
"It's a skill to force yourself to show murderous aura in your eyes, but I really remembered it when you say that. Zheng Xiaolou is indeed suspicious. I think he looks like a wolf..."
"Wolf?" Wang Zhi turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiaolou, trembling with excitement, wondering what he was excited about: "Is he so powerful?"
"Yes, it looks like a wolf!" Li Su said with certainty: "Like a weasel. The day before yesterday, Old Man Shi came to make trouble. A chicken in his house died in my yard in the middle of the night. I think it is very likely that he did it..."
"You guys are enough!" Zheng Xiaolou couldn't bear it anymore, and the master finally stopped being lonely: "I only kill people, not chickens!"
The two looked up at him, and for a long time, turned their heads and continued to whisper.
"He is not a weasel, and the weasel does not kill people..." Wang Zhi said.
Li Su echoed: "Yes, the judgment was wrong just now. He is not a weasel..."
"He is a weasel who has become a spirit. He doesn't kill chickens, but only kills people..." Wang Zhi solemnly concluded.
"But he is so awesome. From knowing him to now, today is the third sentence he said..." Li Su thought about it and added another hygiene knowledge: "People who don't speak are prone to bad breath, and this habit is not good."
The gossip is over, go home!
…………
…………
Zheng Xiaolou has been with Li Su as a personal guard for three months, but Li Su can't see through him at all.
Actually, I don’t have time to see through him. I’ve been too busy this time.
Judging from the appearance, Zheng Xiaolou is indeed very powerful, with a faint sense of hostility on his body. Li Su is sure that this guy must have seen blood. As for whether he has killed anyone, it is not clear.
He had never offended anyone before, and Li Sudu was used to being alone. It didn't matter whether he had a guard or not. However, since he had offended the prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Su had to be careful. After all, he only had one life, and the time traveler did not have the indestructible body of Vajra. He slashed him with one knife. How should an ordinary person die, he would die.
This is also one of his original intentions to ask Wang Zhi to find someone capable for him. Experts are among the people, and there must be people who hide and hide dragons and crouch down in places with a large population.
But Li Su couldn't see what Zheng Xiaolou had. He once begged him several times with curiosity and asked him to show his skills. For example, throw a radish into the air, then swipe the sword a few times, and the radish fell down and turned into a bowl of sliced radish. Although it was not very useful in actual combat, at least this kind of skill can be used in the kitchen at home...
However, Zheng Xiaolou always looked extremely arrogant. He said that he only killed people and did not perform his skills. Li Su had to give up and ask questions in a disappointment. It seemed that he would disrespect other people's professions and feel guilty.
One master and one hire are unfamiliar with each other, and this state is abnormal.
Li Su is very alert to outsiders. Except for the Wang brothers, he cannot shine his back without any defense to a stranger. It is too insecure. Zheng Xiaolou often walks behind him, and this habit is very bad...
So Li Su decided to have an open and honest conversation with Zheng Xiaolou. Whether it is to enhance feelings or make three rules, the worst result must be at least to correct his bad habit of walking behind others.
…………
In the Li family's yard, Zheng Xiaolou was holding a large stone of one or two hundred kilograms to hone his strength. Li Su squatted under the ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard, and put on a sincere and sincere face.
To be continued...
