Chapter 635 The Wheel of Fortune

In the palace!

"I am looking for your Majesty."

"No gifts. Let's sit."

Li Zhi smiled slightly. This year he went out for inspections much more frequently than in previous years, so his face was a little dark, but he also seemed more mature. The reason why he worked so hard was because he urgently wanted to revitalize the imperial power. He wanted the people to know that he was also an emperor who was diligent and loved the people. Now it belongs to me. The Zhenguan period was a thing of the past. This is the same as when candidates were promoted everywhere in elections in some countries in later generations.

"Thank you for your seat."

After Han Yi sat down, Li Zhi smiled and said, "I went to the training camp for inspection yesterday and found that those students had great changes. This is all your credit!"

Han Yi said modestly: "Your Majesty has been awarded too much. In fact, all this is your majesty's credit. It is the empress who borrows your majesty's reputation and your majesty's benevolence, filial piety, courtesy and wisdom that makes them restrain their bad habits. If you don't suppress them, even if you have any way, it will be futile."

Li Zhi said, "Don't say good things about me here. I know that all this is because of your words "reviving the noble spirit". To be honest, I was indeed a little worried when I heard about it. After all, it is not the Spring and Autumn Period. However, after I went there yesterday, I not only did not have any worries, but I was very happy. The Royal Police should be like this."

Although the Civil Security Bureau has been silent recently, this is the first resolution that was completely decided by Li Zhi since he ascended the throne. He attaches great importance to the Civil Security Bureau. If the Civil Security Bureau fails, his ability to govern will definitely be questioned. He does not have as many opportunities to make mistakes as Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin took on a mess and could not not make mistakes. However, he took on a peaceful and prosperous era, and he has no chance to make mistakes.

Han Yi was no longer pretentious and nodded, "Thank you for your praise."

"This is what you deserve."

Li Zhi smiled and suddenly said seriously: "Do you still remember that day in Gaojiapo, you made two suggestions to me. One is to promote the invention of agricultural tools, and the other is to borrow business to solve the difficulties of the elderly, weak, women and children."

Han Yi said: "I will remember it naturally."

Li Zhi said: "Actually, I have been inspecting outside these days and have been discussing this issue with my ministers. Although the ministers agree with your suggestions, they oppose your proposal."

Han Yi was stunned and looked at Li Zhi in confusion.

Li Zhi sighed: "The ministers all agree that improving farm tools can save manpower and reclaim more land. But at the same time, they also believe that letting craftsmen enter the court as officials violates the court system. Since ancient times, craftsmen have never been an official. Moreover, they believe that craftsmen are two different things and improving farm tools. They cannot be confused and put the cart before the horse. Therefore, they all agree that finding skillful craftsmen to improve farm tools, and do not agree to reward them as officials."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, you will not be able to gather the wisdom of the world to improve the agricultural tools. The effectiveness of this plan may be greatly reduced. In fact, many people with talent in this area are just disdain to study the invention of agricultural tools. They only want to study, and the purpose of studying is to become an official. If Your Majesty can be baited for this, I believe many people will study agricultural tools, which will be of great help to agricultural production."

Everything is profit-taking. If there is no benefit, who will take care of it and who will really understand the brain. But if you just give money, many smart people will not come. Contemporary craftsmen do not mean that they have talent in this area. Most of them are forced, and talented people may go to study again.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I think so too, so I made a bet with the ministers."

"A bet?"

Han Yi was stunned.

Li Zhi said: "I will issue a reward to find skillful craftsmen who can improve farm tools. If within a month, someone will announce the list and can improve or invent agricultural tools that have a great boost to agriculture, then set up a new government office to specialize in researching farm tools and award them official positions. But if not, then call some craftsmen from the military weapon supervisor to specifically improve farm tools."

"One month?"

"This is something I have tried my best to win."

Han Yi suddenly thought of someone, but he didn't show any expression, nodded and said, "What about the elderly, weak, women and children?"

Li Zhi sighed: "This may not work. You advocated opening night markets and borrowing business to help poverty, mainly targeting those people without land. This was approved. However, your suggestion will inevitably allow some people with land to join the industry and commerce side. If so, more wasteland will appear. Agriculture has always been the foundation of our dynasty, and this cannot be damaged at all. The opposition of the ministers is not unreasonable."

"This is all because of my misconsideration. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish you." Han Yi did not force himself and said immediately. Because when he made this suggestion, he did not have any careful planning. The strokes of the gods are not his style, even if they are very subtle.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's no wonder you. Actually, your suggestions are good. If you only use them in Gaojiapo, it would be really suitable. It's just that the court must put the overall situation first."

Han Yi’s two proposals have a system of the current court. It is impossible to pass them at once. Han Yi did not have much hope, so everyone should take it slowly.

"Yes. I will definitely consider it carefully next time."

After Han Yi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with Your Majesty."

"What's up?"

“That’s how it is.”

Han Yi said: "If it weren't for the great grace of Your Majesty, I would probably not be able to open the northern lane of Wei. In order to express my gratitude to Your Majesty, Wei was planning to donate a batch of daily necessities worth 800 yuan to the court."

"Eight hundred stakes?"

Li Zhi was shocked suddenly. This money was considered a lot for him. Although he was the emperor, the money from the treasury was not something he could do when he wanted to. He couldn't help but think that doing business is really profitable.

Han Yi said: "Yes, it's a coincidence that when Weichen went out last time, he found that the utensils and tables and chairs at the station were a little old. After Weichen inquired, he found that the officials at the station had applied for replacement of these utensils several times, but they were all rejected. Therefore, Weichen thought why not use this to repay His Majesty's kindness, and it would prove to those who opposed it. His Majesty's original choice was not wrong."

Li Zhi was extremely pleased to hear it, but said, "These eight hundred guans are not a small amount!"

Han Yi said: "Compared with Your Majesty's kindness, even if you have eight thousand guan, you can't repay it. I am really incompetent and the money you donated is extremely limited."

You are still incompetent, and I donate 800 guan with just one mouth. I dare not speak up! Li Zhi was secretly surprised, but he couldn't show it, otherwise it would damage the emperor's majesty. He smiled and said, "Since you are so kind, I will be disrespectful, but no matter what, I still thank you very much."

"This is the duty of the empress."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to transport so many daily necessities into the government office at once. Anyway, some people will be transported out later. Otherwise, the Weichen will arrange them, which will save a lot of trouble."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Just do what you said."

Of course there is no problem with this. Anyway, it is for free and you won’t lose money!

After talking about this, Han Yi took his leave and laughed in his heart. Today I will give away 800 tubes. If I don’t take back 8,000 bulldozers in the future, I will be considered a loss to this deal.

Just when he was excited, he suddenly bumped into someone from the side, but fortunately he didn't have much force.

"Ouch"

Before Han Yi could speak out, the man called out first.

Touching the car!

Two words suddenly popped up in Han Yi's mind, but when he thought that this was the palace, this shouldn't have happened. When he turned around, he saw a man fiddling with his official hat in a panic and said in surprise: "Li Sheren?"

This person is Li Yi's Mansion.

Li Yifu looked at it and said, "Censor Han?"

Han Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, sorry," the official mistakenly hit Li Sheren."

Li Yifu hurriedly said, "Censor Han is so serious. I accidentally bumped into Censor Han. Forgive me, please forgive me."

"How dare you, how dare you?" Han Yi saw that Li Yi's mansion was fine, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know that Li Sheren is going to be good lately."

"I--!"

Li Yifu suddenly sighed.

Han Yi said curiously: "Why did Li Sheren sigh?"

Li Yifu glanced at Han Yi, suddenly thought and pulled his hand forward.

The two walked forward.

Li Yifu said: "I still remember the first time I met Censor Han, when Censor Han was about to leave Chang'an." At this point, he smiled bitterly and said: "But just over a year, I met Censor Han again, but it was my turn to leave Chang'an. Things are really impermanent!"

Han Yi was shocked and said, "Li Sheren is leaving Chang'an?"

Li Yifu nodded.

Han Yi said: "Why haven't I heard of this?"

How could you, a sixth-rank official, hear it? Li Yifu said intimately, but said, "I shouldn't tell you about this!" As he said that, he pulled Han Yi in panic and walked into the corner on the side, saying, "Chief Han, when I beg you, don't make any statement about this, otherwise I may not be able to guarantee my official position."

Han Yi was confused and said, "What's going on?"

"This-!" Li Yifu stumbled several times before saying, "Forget it, forgot, since you already know, then I will tell you. This is the matter. I was on duty in the province of the gate. I happened to send an edict at that time. I accidentally took a look. I didn't expect that this edict would actually transfer me to Bizhou to be Sima. When I saw it, I was panicked and had no intention of staying there, so I planned to go home to notify my family and prepare to pack my luggage and leave Chang'an."

The emperor's edict was drafted by the Secretariat and reviewed by the Secretariat, and finally implemented by the Secretariat.

This edict came to the Ministry of Education, but it was not effective yet. It was a secret and could not be read casually.

Han Yi said in surprise: "What mistake did Li Sheren make? Why was he transferred from Chang'an?"

This is obviously a demotion.

"Now everyone in the court is in danger. How dare I make mistakes? I don't even dare to say anything, and I have always been cautious." Li Yifu looked aggrieved.

Han Yi said: "If that's the case, why would you demote you to Bizhou?"

"I couldn't figure out who I offended!"

Li Yifu changed the subject and said, "I didn't understand until I bumped into you in front."

Han Yi said in surprise: "This - how is this possible?"

Li Yifu said: "Because this matter has something to do with you."

"It has something to do with me?" Han Yi immediately said: "Li Sheren, this is really unfair. I have been staying in training camp recently, how could it be related to me?"

Li Yifu said: "Do you still remember that in the ten thousand years, Wu Zhaoyi suddenly heard that there was happiness, so you gave Wu Zhaoyi a small cart."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course I remember this, but it has nothing to do with Li Sheren."

Li Yifu said: "I saw you give it to you at that time, and I thought that as a minister, I should also give you a gift, so I asked my son to send a gift to Wu Zhaoyi. I think this must have been known to the Grand Marshal. You also know what the current situation is in the court. I think it is 80% the Grand Marshal thinks I am from Wu Zhaoyi, so he demoted me from Chang'an."

I see!
