Chapter 78 Slippery, I'm afraid I won't be able to reward

As the saying goes, like a father, like a son. Li Xin was very well-behaved and clever at a young age. She often played with her uncle Li Zhi, who was about the same age. The relationship between the uncle and nephew was extraordinary.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Your Majesty was summoning to inquire about papermaking."

"Paper making?" Li Zhi didn't understand, nor did Xu Qilin get into this, so he changed the topic: "The food in Xu's mansion tasted delicious and unique, Jinyang loved it the most, and I also liked it. Although the chef in the palace studied in Xu's mansion for a while, the dishes he made were not as good as those. If it was convenient, would you please let the chef in your mansion make a few new dishes to deliver?"

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "The emperor also wants His Highness to taste more delicious food, but there are rules in the palace, so the emperor dare not violate it again and again."

"It's just a few dishes. If someone else hears that the palace wants to eat, he will come here long ago. Why are you so many excuses?" The handsome man next to him was a little dissatisfied and scolded.

Xu Qilin was a little unhappy, looked at the handsome man and looked at Li Zhi with inquiring eyes.

Li Zhi said, "This is Li Xin, the prince of the King of Wei, who is the orphan nephew." After pausing, he said to Li Xin again, "Xu Xiaolang is right. Food outside the palace cannot be delivered casually, nor can it be eaten casually."

Li Xin was respectful to his uncle and hurriedly said, "My nephew knew the rules in the palace. He just saw that he was only a sixth-rank official, but he didn't know how to be polite when he replied, and he flatly refused his uncle's kindness, which was a bit rude."

Xu Qilin said lightly: "Although the lower official is only a sixth rank, he has been awarded the reward for His Majesty for his achievements. It is not for the family or for the inheritance."

This is true and arrogant, and it also makes people feel ironic. I am a skilled official rank. You are just a good father who has been born with a good baby, but it is not a bullshit.

Damn it, one is not called uncle, the other is not called uncle, but instead let the young master pretend to be grandson and get out of your way!

Li Zhi heard it, and Li Xin also realized that the meaning was wrong, and she couldn't help but frown and looked at Xu Qilin a few times.

Before they could speak, Xu Qilin bowed and said, "The emperor's order is here, and the officials dare not delay the major affairs of serving the country and the people, so they will leave." After that, he turned around and left, leaving the two little kids behind and looked at each other.

"Hey, the official is not very big and has a bad temper." After Li Xin said that, she asked Li Zhi: "Uncle, where is this guy from?"

Li Zhi looked at Xu Qilin's back, thoughtful, and replied absent-mindedly: "He is Xu Chongrong's younger brother."

"Is Xu Hui's younger brother very amazing?" Li Xin said angrily: "Bo Youwei Gong is so arrogant, it's not up to his sister..."

Li Xin wanted to speak but stopped, and realized that it was a bit unreasonable to talk about her grandfather's concubines.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Xu Chongrong is outstanding in talent, but Xu Xiaolang is not good at this. However, I once heard from my father that Xu Xiaolang's talent is of great use and only needs to be carved."

Li Xin opened her mouth and did not dare to speak nonsense anymore. Since it was praised by Grandpa Emperor, it was mostly talented. Even if she had no talent, she could not speak nonsense. Wouldn't that mean that Grandpa Emperor was ignorant of people?

At this time, His Majesty Li Er and Ma Da Secret were discussing the four-pronged approach proposed by Xu Qilin in Qianqiu Palace.

Strictly investigate household registration, measure the land; find the crime and cancel the family. Under the current premise of stable country and stable society, these two suggestions are easy to implement.

Focus on Jinshi and neglect the classics; open a course and select talents. Both of these points involve the imperial examinations, and the specific timing of implementation must be determined.

"These measures for the name, copying, and locking the courtyard have begun to be prepared and will be implemented next year." Ma Dami said with thought: "I value Jinshi and neglect Mingjing. I think it should be the first to be the year after tomorrow. If the establishment of a department is established, it depends on what talents the court needs."

His Majesty Li Er said with a slight head, "Paper making may be successful this year, but it will take at least two or three years to complete the work. And this library can not be built in a short time."

Ma Dami naturally knew the financial situation of the court, and it was indeed difficult to complete these many tasks.

After pondering for a while, Ma Dami said tentatively: "Maybe the new leader of Zhiguo think of a solution. His thinking is unique and he is not as good as a minister."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Ma Dami and smiled and said, "That kid is a slippery man. He can't afford to gain anything. I'm afraid he can't afford to reward him!"

Ma Dami knew that this was a joke and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and you can't afford to reward a child?"

Change the reward to reward, and a word difference, His Majesty Li Er knew it very well, and smiled and said, "What King Bin said is reasonable. This kid is different from his sister and brother. In his eyes, he is a vulgar thing in his official position. He also thinks that the business he has done is very secret, but he doesn't know that I have sent someone to check it out clearly. Hehe, how long can he pretend?"

Ma Da's secret was a little surprised. His Majesty Li Er actually sent someone to investigate Xu Qilin.

In ancient times, emperors checked their subordinates for only two purposes. One was to seize the handle and deal with you, and the other was to examine your virtues and abilities, which would be valued.

"Selling ice cubes and selling fragrant lusters makes a lot of money. How can you hide the investigation from those who are interested?" His Majesty Li Er said with some teasing words: "The cost of ice cubes at home is richer than in the palace. The fragrant luster is priceless, and it is hard for nobles in the harem to buy it, but Xu Chongrong has never lacked them. How can I not observe these many flaws?"

"Your Majesty is wise and wise." Ma Da Sei bowed and said, "The Chief of the Zhiguo School has the skills to make ice, and I know it. He also asked the Secretary that if he needed it, he could send a car to my house every day."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It's true that he is a slippery man, and he wants to bribe Binwang."

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "The Captain Zhiguo still invested in Zuixiaolou, and I believe that Your Majesty also knows it. I think that if you talk about the management method, the Captain Zhiguo is really talented. It should have been read "Guanzi"?"

His Majesty Li Er was not sure, but he just laughed at Ma Zhou's obscure praise. "Bin Wang's comments on Qi Lin very high, and Qi Lin also praised Bin Wang."

As he said that, His Majesty Li Er stood up and ordered the eunuch to grind ink and spread paper. When he lifted up his pen, he wrote two rows of running scripts on the paper, flying dragons and phoenixes.

"This is the couplet that Qi Lin said. I deeply agree with it, so I wrote it on paper to give it to my beloved." His Majesty Li Er read the written text, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and signaled Ma Zhou to come forward to watch.

Ma Zhou went up to see it, bowed to His Majesty Li Er and said, "This couplet is too famous, I am ashamed of not accepting it."

"Loyalty and righteous Tang and Ma Zhou are the virtues and talents of your beloved, so why don't you dare to take them?" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and asked the eunuch to put them away, saying, "Do you want me to send people to Ma Qing's mansion with great fanfare?"
