Chapter 184 Liu's Water Car

On April 12, the tenth year of Zhenguan, three days before Liu Yi's marriage was established, Li Zhide finally got his promotion order as he wished.

Doctor of the Ministry of Works, from the fifth rank.

In terms of position, it is even higher than when Wang Zhihong was transferred before the age of 2008.

From this we can see how stimulating the appearance of the water truck was to Li Shimin.

Li Zhide knew the pans here, so on the day he received the transfer order, he led his yamen runners to drive fifty tall and strong oxen, and rushed all the way to the gate of Lao Liu's new house.

The one who opened the door for them was Li Biao, Li Dechen's stupid son, the current servant and the leader of the Liu family.

Obviously, this is a small way for Liu Yi to gather Li Dechen. You should know that although the status of this servant is not high or even low, it is higher than the identity of the tenant farmers. If Li Biao wants to get a wife in the future, it will be relatively easier.

"Li, Lord Li, Li Biao, pay homage to Lord Li!" Li Biao bent down to salute Li Zhide clumsily. Although his head was not very smart, he still knew some of the advantages and disadvantages.

For example, when dealing with this master wearing official uniform, you must not lose etiquette, otherwise you will be beaten by his father.

"Oh, Brother Li." Li Zhide bowed and said to Li Biao: "I'll bother Brother Li to come inside and report it, and then say that the Sanyuan County Magistrate Li Zhide is visiting."

Knowing what kind of person Li Biao is, Li Zhide's words to him were simple, clear and straightforward.

"Yes, Lord Li, please wait." After saying that, Li Biao turned around and trotted into the inner courtyard, even bowing to Li Zhide. He forgot the etiquette that Li Dechen had taught countless times.

Looking at Li Biao jogging inside, Li Zhide shook his head lightly, wondering why Liu Yi asked a fool to watch the door for him?

"Uncle Li!" After a while, Liu Yiuan bowed his hand and warmly greeted Li Zhide from the house. Seeing a group of plowing oxen following Li Zhide, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, even sent these plowing oxen to my nephew. I feel really sorry. Come on, Uncle Li, please rest in there."

Then Liu Yiuan took out some money and handed it to the cattle-driven officer and said, "I'm sorry, I'll treat this money as Liu invites you to have tea."

"This," the officers stared at the money in Liu Yi's hand, but no one dared to take it. Thinking about it, with Li Zhide in his head, they didn't dare to really reach out even if they wanted to take it.

"Uncle Li," Liu Yi looked at Li Zhide, shouted softly, and looked at the money in his hand.

"Okay, okay, since it's the kindness of a virtuous nephew, let's accept these little kids." Li Zhide understood and said with a stern face: "But, I won't be the case!"

"Yes, Lord Li!" The officers said to Li Zhide and Liu Yi in unison: "Thank you, Lord Li, Mr. Xie Liu!"

"Haha, please be polite, this is the right thing to do." Liu Yiu handed over the silver to one of the servants, then bowed his hands and said to them with a smile: "I have to bother you, please send these oxen to Liu to the cow tent on the east side. Liu thanked him here first."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu." The servants swept away the listless look just now and shouted.

Seeing this, Li Zhide nodded gently and bribed people's hearts. This trick is very useful.

"A nephew," Li Zhide stroked his beard and chuckled and said to Liu Yi: "A nephew should hire a housekeeper. Things like the past are usually negotiated and handled by the housekeeper. How could the head of the family do it personally like the nephew. If he is tired, he will not tell him, but he will also lower his identity."

"Uncle Li said," Liu Yiuan reached out to ask Li Zhide to enter the door, and said to Li Zhide with a bitter face: "Uncle Li, you don't know anything. My nephew also wants to find a housekeeper to help me handle some daily affairs, but, why is it hard to find such a good housekeeper. A few days ago, my nephew traveled all the "ritual chambers" in Sanyuan County, but the housekeepers inside were rare, and some of them were all unworthy of being used, which was hard to reassure people."

Liu Yiu is not sure about this. Together, I want to hire a useful butler, which is even more difficult than hiring a knowledgeable teacher. Especially in the small place of Sanyuan, it is even more difficult to find a butler who is worthy of him than to reach the sky.

"Haha, this is why you have little knowledge, nephew." Li Zhide said with a smile: "If you want to hire a housekeeper, how can you go to a vulgar place like 'Lifang'? It would be strange if you can really hire a good housekeeper there. You should know that this really talented housekeeper is disdainful to go to 'Lifang'. Doing that will only detract from their value."

Uh? There is something like this?

"My nephew is ignorant, please help Uncle Li teach me." Liu Yiuan invited Li Zhide to the head, and then bowed his hand to him and said.

"This housekeeper," Li Zhide glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "Only, you must be able to know etiquette, understand the truth, and argue with the slightest. Whether the master is present or not, you can handle some daily things properly for the master, receive some important guests, and share the worries of the master."

"But such people are usually some down-and-out scholars or children of the sage family who are angry. Although life is difficult, they still have some arrogance and backbone in their hearts, so they are disdainful of the 'Lifang'."

"Then, what should I do if my nephew wants to invite them?" Liu Yi asked Li Zhide in confusion.

"Put the list, call, give the questions and try each other, and the winner will win." Li Zhide slowly told the secret here.

"Recruitment?!" Liu You is not unfamiliar with this. He has never participated in it before. But in this Tang Dynasty, is there such a thing similar to a job fair?

"Recruitment? Well, the word "女台" is appropriate." Li Zhide nodded gently and said to Liu Yi: "So, if you want to hire a good housekeeper, it is better, yes, recruitment."

"I know, thank you for Uncle Li's teaching." Liu Yi bowed respectfully to Li Zhide. If Li Zhide didn't say anything about this, he would never have imagined it.

"You are polite, nephew." Li Zhide waved his hand to Liu Yi and said, "In fact, Uncle Wei came here this time, in addition to escorting the plowing ox with his nephew, he would come to thank him specially."

"I asked my nephew to have the last waterwheel drive. This morning, Uncle Wei had received the transfer order to move to Chang'an. He was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Works and was from the fifth rank and left tomorrow." Li Zhide bowed to Liu Yiu and said, "So, Uncle Wei has the intention of saying goodbye to his farewell this time."

Promoted? Liu Yiuan looked at Li Zhide. This guy was promoted at no slower than Wang Zhihong.

"Then my nephew is here to congratulate Uncle Li, congratulations to Uncle Li," Liu Yi hurriedly bowed to congratulate him. Although Liu Yi was not very optimistic about Li Zhide, it was always very affordable and there was no harm in having an extra friend to be a high-ranking official.

"It's all for the blessing of my nephew." Li Zhide looked at Liu Yi sincerely and said, "If there was no 'Liu family plough' first and 'Liu family water wheel' later, how could Uncle Wei be transferred back to Chang'an in such a short time?"

Liu Yi's life is a prosperous official, which Li Zhide has already determined in his heart. If he hadn't known that Liu Yi would not want to stay in Chang'an, he would have to invite Liu Yi over no matter what.

"'Liu's Water Carriage'? Who gave it the name?" When Liu Yiu heard this title for the first time, he felt very awkward and asked in confusion.

"Why, don't you know?" Li Zhide looked at Liu Yi and explained to him softly: "This is the emperor's handwriting after learning the source of the water wheel. From this, it can be seen how much the emperor values ​​his nephew."

After saying that, Li Dechen glanced at Liu Yiyi with envy. If he could also receive such a reward from the emperor, why would he worry about his career going well in the future?

Li Shimin? Liu Yi nodded gently. Li Lao Er is still a little conscientious. He got the advantage but did not forget to give others some benefits.

But, I only gave him a name that was useless. Are you a little stingy? After all, I have to give some substantial rewards. It's true that I won't wait to sell his crooked plow last time.

"Nephew?Nephew?" Seeing that Liu Yi was a little distracted, Li Zhide called out twice and said to him: "Tomorrow, a new county magistrate will come to take over. Uncle Wei will explain to him some advice, hoping that it will be helpful to the nephew."

"Oh, oh, Uncle Li has troubled." Liu Yi woke up and hurriedly got up and bowed to thank Li Zhide.
