God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Li Er said: "Si Nong County son, I hope you will work hard in farming in the future, plant more food for the Tang Dynasty, and benefit the people of the world!"

"Yes! Grassroots... Ah no, I must farm the land well!" Old Fu was so excited that his hands trembled.

Du He cursed secretly, what a worthless bastard.

After Li Er and the others left, Du He waved and called Old Fu over: "Old Fu, how does my young master usually treat you?"

puff.

The old man knelt down again, grabbed Du He's trouser legs, and cried, "Young Master, don't drive me away, I don't want to leave, Young Master, I want to serve you for the rest of my life... Without Young Master, there would be no Fu Dazhu." Today, young master, otherwise, I will go to ask His Majesty to push back this reward, I am a slave, and I will serve the young master wholeheartedly in the future, what is the use of this Si Nong county son!"

Snapped.

Du He kicked the old Fu: "Fuck off, you worthless thing, your majesty's reward, how can you say no to it, do you want to be ransacked by everyone? I ask you, what did your majesty say just now?" Remember?"

"I remember every sentence," the old man said with a grin, "Your Majesty said that from today onwards, the imperial army will be sent here to guard the potatoes. No one is allowed to touch the potatoes, and I will take care of them!"

Du He nodded: "Is it anyone?"

Old Fu Yizheng said: "Of course it is anyone!"

After finishing speaking, he moved closer to Du He's ear and whispered, "Young master, don't worry, I will find a way to send potatoes to the county government every day from now on."

Only then did Du He pat Old Fu on the shoulder in satisfaction, and said, "Young Master, I guessed right!"

Old Fu is able to be the chief steward of Lai Guogong's mansion, so he still has some wit and vigor.

……

Changan.

As soon as they returned to Chang'an, the main officials of the six departments of the three provinces began to discuss the reward for Du He according to Li Er's instructions.

Everyone attaches great importance to this matter.

So, summoned by Fang Xuanling, the bigwigs in the court gathered together and began to discuss.

Wei Zheng said vigorously: "Since ancient times, there has been auspiciousness. The year before last, Shandong also discovered auspiciousness. However, those auspicious signs are not worth mentioning compared with potatoes... Potatoes can save lives and increase food production. Your Majesty is right, Du He has made great contributions, and should be rewarded heavily. First, it can be accepted by Du He. If the reward is too small, it will chill the hearts of those who have made meritorious deeds. Second, it should be announced to the world. I am a native of the Tang Dynasty, and if I appreciate my merits, maybe someone will discover other auspicious signs!"

However, Wang Gui disagreed: "The old man does not agree to a heavy reward. Du He is only 17 years old, and he is already the Duke of the founding county before reaching the age of the crown. If there is another reward, it would be inappropriate!"

Changsun Wuji also said: "Du He is still young and has a long way to go in the future. If he is promoted to a noble, it will not be good for his growth!"

What Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji said was actually agreed by many people.

At this time, Du Ruhui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly slapped the table and stood up, staring at Changsun Wuji and the others with burning eyes, and said coldly: "Master Changsun, the old man only has one sentence, what do you think about these potatoes?"

Changsun Wuji said embarrassingly: "Naturally it is auspicious, it can save all people!"

Du Ruhui said: "Since that's the case, if you adults really feel that you have made such a contribution, you don't need to reward me, then I have nothing to say...you can discuss it slowly, the old man has to take a step ahead, but if my son is treated unfairly , even if I tear off this face, I will ask His Majesty to make the decision, hum!"

After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui walked away in a huff.

In the house, it became quiet.

Du Ruhui was known for his good temper and rarely argued with others.

Today, everyone could see that Lao Du was really angry.

Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji looked at each other with helpless expressions.

At this time, Wei Zheng said: "My lords, I chatted with Du Xiang a few days ago, and he has already planned to retire."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly understood why Du Ruhui was so angry just now.

This is to try harder for Du He!

Du Ruhui has only two sons.

The eldest son, Du Gou, is far away in Dengzhou. Although he can inherit the title of Duke of Lai, his qualifications are mediocre, and he may not make much achievements in the court in the future.

Although the second son, Du He, is a county magistrate, he is only a county magistrate.

Old Du also has his own difficulties!

……

The crowd was silent.

After a while, Wang Gui said leisurely: "I take back what I just said, Du He has made such contributions, and he should be named Duke."

Changsun Wuji sighed and nodded.

The others stopped talking too.

Fang Xuanling said: "Since that's the case, let me enter the palace and tell His Majesty about this matter!"

Everyone dispersed.

Fang Xuanling entered the palace, came to the imperial study, and reported the results of the discussion to Li Er.

pat.

When everyone agreed to make Du He the Duke of the state, the memorial in Li's second hand fell to the ground.

He was stunned.

Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, is this reward inappropriate? Why don't I ask all my lords to discuss it carefully?"

Li Er said expressionlessly: "It's not inappropriate for Du He to discover such a fetish as Tudou and make him a duke of the state, but... oh, Fang Aiqing, you go down first, I'll think about it later!"

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling backed away in a daze.

He knew from Li Er's expression that this matter would never be that simple!

But don’t dare to talk nonsense and ask questions!

After Fang Xuanling left, Li Er paced back and forth in the imperial study, like ants on a hot pot.

Zhao Yang asked curiously: "I wonder what His Majesty is worried about?"

Li Er turned around and gave Zhao Yang a hard look: "Get lost!"

Zhao Yang: "..."
