For these ancient scholar-bureaucrats and literati, pen and ink were extremely important and full of ritual value.
Since ancient times, let alone pens and ink, just an inkstone has countless legends and allusions on it.
At this time, Duan Lun's words were also very particular.
Inkstones, ink blocks, and porcelain basins for washing brushes are all tools, but the pen is the real owner.
What Duan Lun meant by this was that by letting Li Sheng go to the Ministry of Industry, he would no longer hold the position of a minister, but directly take charge of the Ministry of Industry, give up his position as Minister, and work directly for Li Sheng!
Working as a farmer in the morning and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening, how many people in the world can refuse such a good thing?
Duan Lun is absolutely sure of victory this time, and if he doesn't believe it, Li Sheng won't give in.
But what surprised him was that Li Sheng actually...
His expression remained unchanged, but he frowned.
"Shang Shu? I'm too busy. I won't go."
After saying that, Li Sheng took the condiment bottle at hand and mixed condiments for the barbecue on the stove.
At this time, Duan Lun was confused.
Damn it, you don’t even want the position of Minister?
The whole person's mind is completely blank.
This is too arrogant.
At this moment, Li Er and Du Ruhui on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
What's the point of this scene?
Even though he is a mere minister, he also wants to win over His Majesty.
Isn't this a joke?
Duan Lun was surprised by this tugging, but he still sat down...
Looking at Li Sheng again, his expression was completely different.
This kind of aura is extremely rare among young people from various aristocratic families. The indifference of these people to fame and fortune is, at best, their indifference to fame and fortune towards minor officials such as county magistrates.
But when your fame and wealth rise to the fourth or fifth level, they will never be indifferent anymore.
After all, most of the indifference in this world... is always selective indifference.
And if you rise to a truly high-ranking official position and receive a generous salary, then no one can be indifferent.
Even the young people with the fifth surname and Qiwang's background are coveted for the position of minister, and even most of the leading figures in the group with the fifth surname and Qiwang are flocking to it.
In the end, Li Sheng really didn't care. This was no longer the level of a young master from aristocratic families.
Vaguely, Duan Lun even felt that he saw a hint of the domineering power of a prince or grandson...
Could this young man be a powerful person reincarnated by the stars?
Duan Lun was frightened and absent-minded. He just felt that something was wrong with him.
This wave of people going out to eat out is really a bit big...
But since the other party didn't mean it, Duan Lun thought that there really wasn't anything he could do...
You can't tie people to the Shangshu Province to be ministers, right?
The barbecue stall finally gave off a clear and distinct aroma.
Li Er and Du Ruhui looked at each other and then at the back of Duan Lun's head, with suppressed smiles on their faces. At this moment, when the aroma hit them, they both moved their index fingers, and their faces showed excitement.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had barbecue at Young Master’s place. I didn’t expect that this time the flat grill was replaced by charcoal grill...it smells better! Hahaha!”
Li Er's face was full of excited smiles, and Du Ruhui's face was also flushed, obviously looking forward to it.
The expressions of these two people... caught Duan Lun's attention, and now it was Duan Lun's turn to be confused.
Is it that delicious?
Although this roasted meat is fragrant, it is just ordinary roasted meat.
If you ask whether it smells good, it definitely smells good. If you say it doesn't smell good, it's unconscionable. But from another perspective, this thing doesn't seem to be so fragrant that it smells amazing. Anyway...
Judging from the banquet Duan Lun had in the palace, this level was just ordinary.
Why are Your Majesty and Du Ming so excited?
Duan Lun was confused, but since the visitor was a guest, there was no need to be picky, it was just doubtful.
But soon, Duan Lun realized how powerful it was.
The young master took out several bottles and jars from somewhere, hung them upside down, and swung them over the roasted meat.
Bottles and cans are covered with iron lids, and there are many small holes in the lids.
With this flicker, white, black and yellow powder was sprinkled from the small hole.
The powder scattered and fell on the roasted meat one after another.
At this time, the meat skewers are being grilled by the flames of the charcoal stove, and are in a piping hot state, sizzling with oil.
The spices and oils stimulate each other, and a wonderful smell is immediately stimulated.
This aroma hits your nose straight away, and immediately rushes into your nose. It rushes to your mind in the blink of an eye.
Absolutely amazing!
Duan Lun was dumbfounded and looked at the roasted meat in front of him in astonishment.
What kind of divine delicacy is this that can be so delicious?!
It smells incredible!
Duan Lun felt that he had never smelled anything so fragrant in his life. No matter where he went to a banquet, he had never smelled anything so fragrant in any of the best delicacies.
Duan Lun was even more shocked now.
The look in Li Sheng's eyes was already filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Such delicious dishes...
The seasoning must be extremely rare.
Is it possible for ordinary people to obtain such things?
Yes, the Five Surnames and Qiwang are also considered among the people.
Combined with the young man's calm expression when facing the position of minister, Duan Lun felt a chill down his back.
Madhu, now I am sure that I have indeed met an expert!
This determination is not ordinary!
After understanding the situation, Duan Lun's attitude changed.
Just now, he still extended an olive branch to Li Sheng and recruited Li Sheng to become an official in Shangshu Province, but this time, Duan Lun directly entered a state of being in front of him and behind the horse.
He brought Li Sheng water and tea, squeezed his shoulders and beat his legs.
That's called being diligent, and it can almost be said that it's beyond words. It made Li Sheng's maids confused, and he seemed to have nothing to do...
Of course, Duan Lun also knew that behaving like this was a bit weird, not right, and would arouse people's doubts, not to mention whether it was wrong or not.
But so what? As long as I can recruit this talent for Datang, I will be happy with it!
At this moment, Duan Lun was directly impressed by Li Sheng's mysterious boss aura.
Looking back at Li Er and Du Ruhui, Duan Lun was still a little hesitant.
Even if he wants to recommend someone to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it seems that it would not be good if he does not discuss it with His Majesty, the Prime Minister of Wei, the Prime Minister of Fang, and Keming. Therefore, Duan Lun feels that His Majesty and Du Ruhui may be surprised by his behavior and look back.
It’s hard to say that we all need to talk about this matter in detail.
It’s impossible not to talk!
If someone goes to Goguryeo, then this is the rhythm of the Tang Dynasty.
However, when he turned around, Duan Lun found that both Li Er and Du Ruhui were smiling broadly, showing no signs of surprise at all.
So... now it was Duan Lun's turn to be confused. These two guys didn't seem to feel that what they were doing was wrong at all...
His face is as usual, his true self as a jobber...
It seems that they also support the recruitment? But just now I said that I would give up the position of minister, why are the two of them very surprised...
Duan Lun was confused, but at this moment Li Sheng was still grilling for everyone, Duan Lun didn't dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward to help!
