Chapter 205 I've been tricked, I'm still counting money
"Auxiliary engine, you are here."
"I have met your Majesty."
Since I have met with His Majesty many times, as a county magistrate, I did not have stage fright this time and bowed.
"Haha, it turns out to be County Magistrate Song, Mr. Song."
Damn it, Magistrate Song panicked and sweat broke out again.
This is already in the palace. Why did your majesty call me County Magistrate Song, Mr. Song when he saw me?
Could it be that Your Majesty is thinking of settling a score with yourself?
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
The county magistrate panicked and knelt aside.
"Okay, okay, you are not guilty of anything, so hurry up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I haven't gone to find you yet, but you have come to the palace to find me.
I am very satisfied with the things you have done, and I originally wanted to continue to promote you to a higher rank."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to guard a county for Your Majesty. I will be the county magistrate."
"Oh, you are quite smart."
If he is promoted and transferred to another place, even if he is promoted, he cannot hold Mr. Lin's thigh and get so close to His Majesty and others.
If I can't get close to His Majesty and others, doesn't it mean that I will never have such a good opportunity again?
Although I am only a county magistrate now, it is a great honor to be able to eat at the same table with His Majesty. There are even many officials higher than myself who do not have such an honor!
"I have also used you very well. Besides, my good brother has a good relationship with you. It would not be good if I transferred you rashly. You can just be the county magistrate there."
If anything happens, you can come directly to the palace to see me."
With that said, Li Er took out a token, and Li Er's personal officer walked away with the token.
When the county magistrate saw this token, he knelt down on the ground with excitement and thanked His Majesty repeatedly.
If you have a good relationship with Mr. Lin, you can also have a good relationship with His Majesty. Don’t the so-called privileges come naturally?
Looking at the token again, the magistrate wiped it with his hand, fearing that it would be stained with dust.
He put it into his clothes and said thank you again, Your Majesty.
"By the way, why did you come to the palace to see me today?"
The county magistrate slapped his forehead hard, yes, he came to the palace today on important matters.
It almost delayed the business.
"Your Majesty, I have obtained a sacred object in Zhaojiazhuang, and I would like to present it to Your Majesty."
Now that the county magistrate knew about the relationship between His Majesty and Mr. Zhao, he simply stopped hiding it and spoke out directly.
"Fantasy? What kind of thing?"
"Your Majesty, I have brought that thing over, and it is on the carriage outside the palace."
Li Er glanced at Wang De, who quickly got up and left the Tai Chi Hall, went outside, and asked someone to bring the things in.
When the Quyuan Plow Staff was brought to the Tai Chi Hall and placed in front of Li Er, Li Er looked at the thing in front of him with confusion on his face. Why did this thing look so familiar?
Take another look, isn't this the plow stick I got from my wise brother in Zhaojiazhuang?
But why does the county magistrate want to donate to himself? What does this mean? Why don't I understand it?
Seeing the confusion on His Majesty's face, the magistrate saluted again, knowing that it was time for him to show off.
As he spoke, he talked endlessly about the plow stick, including its various uses and benefits.
Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of bragging. He honestly explained what Mr. Zhao said and how he introduced it, and then stepped aside!
"My good brother gave this to you?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao gave it to me and asked me to send people to build it so that it can be used to cultivate fields for the people."
"Then why don't you send someone to the palace to offer it after you get it?"
"After Your Majesty received the items, I sent people to make a few pairs in the blacksmith shop.
I originally wanted to come to the palace to present it to His Majesty, but I thought it was winter and this thing could only be used in spring.
Because of his status as a subordinate at the time, he could only submit the documents in advance.
In this case, it will take a long time. I am worried about delaying the spring plowing, so I want to come directly to Chang'an City to donate. Please forgive me."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he stepped aside and said,
Li Er's old face was filled with black lines.
The new plow pole that I spent a lot of money to buy was given to me for free, and the county magistrate personally presented it to me. Do you want to show it off to yourself?
Li Er just felt like his heart had been hit by 10,000 points of critical damage.
Seeing His Majesty's expression changing unpredictably, the county magistrate was very confused.
What happened to Your Majesty? What happened? Why didn’t I understand it?
No matter what, you have to restrain yourself and not get angry.
Presumably, the county magistrate was not aware of this matter, and the wise brother must have never mentioned it to anyone.
As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. Li Er waved his hand and asked him to leave the new plow stick and go back to the county seat first. He would send someone there in person after a while.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will resign."
"Wait a moment."
The county magistrate stood aside and turned around to look up at His Majesty. What happened to Your Majesty? Why did you stop him again?
I saw Li Er thinking for a moment.
"From now on, I also have a task to give you. If you go to Zhaojiazhuang again, remember that no matter what my good brother gives you, you will see it in front of me tomorrow after you finish it today."
"It's your Majesty. Your Majesty will accept the order. But your Majesty, can you give me a scope, for example, what is it?"
"This thing has no scope. You can see it yourself, Your Majesty."
"Go back, remember what I told you, and my identity is not allowed to be revealed."
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage back, the county magistrate was very happy.
While walking, I also hummed a little tune.
It was really worthwhile to come to the palace this time. Not only did I meet His Majesty, but His Majesty also gave me a token that allows me to enter and leave the palace anytime and anywhere.
Of course, it is impossible for me to come to the palace without any reason.
But if something happens in the future, you can come to the palace to report as soon as possible, which is very convenient!
Seeing the county magistrate leave and looking at the plow stick again, Li Er wanted to cry. Why did he feel that he had been cheated and was still counting money for others?
