Li Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Tong in front of him: "Isn't that right? When you were in Kyoto, you were just a small soldier. I don't know this information, so how do you know everything about it?"
Li Rui realized something was wrong!
Is it possible that Xu Tong has been hiding his capabilities and biding his time?
Play pig eat tiger?
Unexpectedly, Xu Tong smiled sheepishly at this time.
"A friend told me this!" Xu Tong tilted his head: "He serves as the Minister of Rites in Beijing!"
"My skills are ordinary!"
Xu Tong waved his hand with some disdain.
"Common?" Li Rui looked at him softly.
Minister of Rites?
This official can be said to be small or big. Especially in a place like Kyoto, if a brick falls in the imperial city, it is possible that eighteen ministers will be killed! The rank is not low, but most of the ministers in the Ministry of Rites are in large
Most of the time, it is a sinecure, there are not many things that need to be dealt with every day, and there are not many promotion channels.
"Well, this man is very naughty. He specially compiled a book. This book records the relationships between various officials, their preferences, etc..."
“I don’t think about how to do things every day and engage in these crooked ways!”
"What is it if it's not commonplace?"
Xu Tong said disdainfully.
Li Rui looked Xu Tong up and down, and he understood why he could not be reused in Kyoto. He was obviously very capable, but he could only be a soldier.
This kind of thinking, in a place like Jingzhong, it is ridiculous to be promoted.
Being able is one thing, but you also need to have the skills.
"This friend of yours, can you call me to Liangzhou?" Li Rui asked softly.
Xu Tong glanced at Li Rui: "Sir, officials in the capital are not allowed to go out without permission. Unless you can get the emperor to issue an order."
"Right!"
Li Rui nodded. He pondered for a moment, but he didn't know how to say this.
Subconsciously I asked: "What is the name of this friend of yours?"
"Wu Youwei!" Xu Tong didn't hide it either.
Li Rui kept this name in his heart.
There are a lot of trivial matters today. In the hands of Zhang Shou, Hedong County is running smoothly without any trouble. It's just that there are many chores accumulated. Zhang Shou has to be responsible for the resettlement of disaster victims outside the city, and his energy is limited. Moreover,
Soon, Xu Tong will also be busy.
It was only then that Li Rui finally understood how difficult it was to be a prince.
Especially for someone like me, it doesn’t matter what I want.
Belongs to Tianhu's opening.
Li Rui divided the 300,000 taels of silver into two parts. The first part was 200,000 taels and was handed over to Su Changyu for operation. As for whether he could get some meat from outside the Great Wall, Li Rui couldn't guarantee it, so he couldn't put the eggs in
In a basket.
However, Su Changyu should have some abilities.
Not only Hong Yuer, but also Zhang Shou also expressed his affirmation of Su Changyu's ability.
Li Rui could also feel that if Su Changyu used his brain in the right way, he would be more than enough to be a county guard.
Put down all kinds of trivial matters in your hands.
Li Rui gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
The candlelight flickered, and the time gradually entered the night.
Li Rui blew out the candlelight and lay down on the bed. Because he had a lot to do today, he fell asleep not long after lying on the bed. In his daze, it seemed as if there was something standing beside his bed.
.
However, Li Rui ignored it and regarded it as an illusion.
Early morning of the second day.
A bustling cry reached Li Rui's ears.
After waking up, I felt abnormal pain all over my body.
He, who had never practiced martial arts before, felt as if the muscles in his body were about to break apart at this moment, and it felt so sore and so good.
Wake up from bed.
Huan'er carefully helped Li Rui change his clothes.
It also took him a long time to adapt, but once he got used to it, he couldn't live without it. When he got up every morning, Huan'er was sometimes not there, which made him uncomfortable.
"What happened outside?" Li Rui asked softly.
While helping Li Rui tidy up his clothes, Huan'er replied softly: "I'm not sure, but the sound sounded like someone was crying in front of the palace!"
"Crying?" Li Rui was stunned for a moment.
This is really strange. Crying for grievances is basically done outside the county government offices and county offices. Where can anyone cry grievances at the gate of the palace?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Li Rui finished cleaning up and strode out of the room.
When I came to the door, I saw a woman kneeling there with a car beside her.
The crying volume has become smaller and smaller.
The woman seemed a little tired, but her body was still kneeling there.
"Huan'er, go and help her up..." Li Rui ordered softly.
After hearing this, Huan'er nodded hurriedly, then walked down the steps and helped the woman up.
Li Rui looked at the guards on the left and right sides of the palace and asked softly: "What's going on?"
"We don't know." The guard also looked aggrieved: "Early in the morning, she came here alone with a cart. She didn't say a word. She knelt there and started crying. We asked her but she didn't answer.
"
"Um!"
Li Rui nodded slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he gently walked down the steps.
He glanced at the woman in front of him: "If you have any grievances, you can go to the county government office. This is the palace and we will not accept cases!"
"Are you Prince Liang?" The woman raised her head and stared at Li Rui intently.
"Not bad!" Li Rui nodded.
"Please ask the King of Liang to make the decision for the women!" the woman cried, "the women are farmers in Qinghe County, and they work hard with their husbands. However, after this year, there was a sudden flood, and all the good farmland in the family was destroyed!"
"Life is unsustainable!"
There was despair in the woman's voice: "But a few days ago, Wang Zhifeng, the magistrate of Qinghe County, was collecting the annual tax, and there was really no food in the family. During the dispute between the husband and the husband, the Qinghe County government officer seriously injured the husband and eventually died. And there will be more.
Sell the property of the slave family! To offset the annual tax!"
"The slave family is really desperate!"
The woman screamed hoarse, and then continued: "I originally wanted to go to the county government office to file a complaint, but I heard that the county governor is indifferent to all matters, big and small! After arriving at the county town yesterday, I knew that the prince is devoted to the people! So I came to the gate of the prince's house to file a complaint.
!”
"Please, Your Majesty, redress the injustice of the women!"
After finishing speaking, the woman prostrated herself before Li Rui again.
Li Rui's face is cold!
Annual gift?
The imperial court has never had such a tax, levied once a year? And it’s at the beginning of the year!
The magistrate of Qinghe County is so brave!
"Get up, let me ask you! How much is your annual salary? How much is the total tax in a year?" Li Rui's voice was cold. At this moment, he had murderous intent in his heart.
