Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Li Daozong, 24 years old, is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Dou Lukuan, 44 years old, is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Duan Lun, 40 years old, official worship minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Everyone loves you." Li Erkong stretched out his hand to support them, and when they stood up straight, he said solemnly: "I called you here for a big event."

Li Daozong was the youngest among the four ministers, with an angry look on his face, he said: "I have already heard about it."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately. I will take the people from the Ministry of Punishments to arrest those seven old fellows now!"

"The five surnames and seven Wang are now openly confronting the court. If they are not taught a lesson, what is the majesty of the court and what is the face of His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Er glanced at Duan Lun, he must have revealed the news to the three ministers.

About the monument of merit, I could hide it from other ministers, but I couldn't hide it from Duan Lun.

After all, the manufacture of merit monuments cannot bypass the Ministry of Industry.

Li Er waved his hand. He called them over this time because he wanted to tell them about it. It would be good if they knew about it in advance. He said in a deep voice:

"Although the five surnames and Qiwang have played tricks on me, the deeds worth 70 yuan cannot be faked. They didn't resist the decree. What reason do you have to arrest them?"

Hearing this, the four ministers were silent.

Li Jing frowned and said: "But let them get away with it like this, and it won't be long before the government and the public know about it, what a criticism it will be!"

Dou Lukuan said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty can lose face, but His Majesty has to. The master humiliated his minister to death, and it has always been the case since ancient times!"

Li Er glanced at them, "Of course I know, I have ways to deal with them now."

"Clean up, change into casual clothes, and follow me out of the palace. I will take you to meet someone."

"This person has a way to deal with the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs."

The four ministers were stunned, who is this, so capable?

"Here." Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun didn't ask any further questions. After cupping their hands, they returned to their respective mansions. After changing into casual clothes, they followed Li Er towards the outside of the palace.

When they came to Yongyangfang, a home of ordinary people, the faces of the four ministers became even more confused.

This person's family situation doesn't look very good.

Li Er suddenly said: "Remember, after you go in later, don't ask any more questions, you can do whatever he asks you to do."

Duan Lun was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, you want us four ministers to be dispatched by an ordinary commoner?"

"Any comments?" Li Er asked while looking at him.

Yes...the four of them said silently in their hearts.

But looking at Li Er's calm face and being stared at by him, the four said insincerely, "No!"

Li Er nodded in satisfaction, then pushed open the door of Zhang Dun's house, and said loudly, "Zhang Dun, I brought him here!"

This person's name is Zhang Dun?Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun secretly wrote down the name, followed Li Er into the house, and looked at the yard curiously.

The yard is very clean, other than that there is nothing worthy of praise. Looking at the whole yard, there is no valuable property to be seen.

A young man, wearing a green shirt, was sitting on a bearded stool in the yard.

In front of him, there is a couple of cases.

A pen, ink, paper and inkstone were placed on top of the desk, and the young man was writing something with a pen at the desk.

Hearing Li Er's voice, Zhang Dun raised his head, with a smile on his face, stood up and said, "Second Uncle."

Uncle? ?Li Daozong, Li Jing, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun looked at Zhang Dun in astonishment, and then at Li Er.

An ordinary commoner, called Second Uncle today?

Isn't this a crime of disrespect!

But why does it look like His Majesty is very happy to be called by him?

Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun have lost their minds. What's going on?

Li Er walked up to Zhang Dun and asked, "How are you preparing?"

"It's almost there." Zhang Dun smiled, looked up at the four ministers standing at the door, beckoned and said, "Why are you standing so far away, come to me."

Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun walked up to Zhang Dun silently, thinking about what Li Er said when they came.

Zhang Dun looked at Duan Lun and asked, "Can you do manual work?"

See what you said, Duan Lun looked at him quietly, my official is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, can this be it?He said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Zhang Dun looked at Li Jing and asked, "Will you order people to work?"

The old man generally doesn't order people to work, but generally orders people to fight. Li Jing nodded expressionlessly.

Zhang Dun looked at Dou Lukuan again, and asked, "How much do you know about etiquette in Tang Dynasty?"

"Then you asked the right person." Dou Lukuan laughed, "I understand everything."

"You know everything? Is it true?" Zhang Dun looked at him suspiciously.

He really understands everything... Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Duan Lun said silently in their hearts, if he doesn't understand, can he be the Minister of Rites?

"I want you to arrest someone, do you dare?" Zhang Dun looked at Li Daozong and asked.

He dares!Li Jing, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun said silently in their hearts. When they came, they were still waiting for His Majesty's order to take the seven patriarchs with five surnames Qiwang directly back to the Ministry of Punishment.

In terms of arresting people, the criminal department he manages is not a vegetarian.

Li Daozong grinned: "Dare!"

Zhang Dun nodded in satisfaction, "In this way, things will be much easier."

"You take this."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun divided the stack of papers that had been written on several cases into four and handed them to them.

What the hell is this kid doing?Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun looked at him suspiciously. After taking the paper and looking down, they opened their eyes wide and gasped.

Chapter 58 I Thought You Were the Secretary of the Ministry of War

On the paper they took from Zhang Dun, there was a line of big characters written on the first page: "Within three days, five surnames and seven beg for mercy plan."

Let the five surnames and seven beg for mercy?Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun looked at Zhang Dun in shock. This kid looked less than 20 years old. How could he have the confidence to say such a thing?

And it only takes three days?

Not to mention three days, even 30 days, even three hundred days is impossible!

Who are the five surnames and Qiwang? That is a famous family in the world!

The four of them didn't say a word, but continued to look at the paper in their hands.

"This, this is..." Suddenly, Duan Lun yelled loudly, "Is this the manufacturing method of Zuixianlou Department Store?"

"Are you the cook of Zuixianlou?!"

Hearing this, Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Dou Lu Kuan looked at Duan Lun with astonishment written all over their faces.

Zhang Dun was also stunned, "Am I so famous?"

That's right, he's just a chef in a restaurant. Is he so famous?You are a dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but you also know this person?

Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Dou Lukuan looked at Duan Lun suspiciously.

Duan Lun excitedly said: "It turns out that you are the cook of Zuixianlou. No one in Chang'an city knows you. Who is Tian Shehan!"

As soon as the words were finished, Duan Lun saw that Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Dou Lukuan looked at him with unkind eyes.

"I've never heard of this old man." Li Jing said with a straight face, "Is this old man a farmer?"

Dou Lu Kuanpi smiled and said: "Brother Duan, you talk too hard, don't offend people and you don't even know."

Li Daozong said in a low tone: "When you are old, who will you live on?"

Duan Lun looked at them not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The old man is really right, brother Li, you have been boasting in front of me these two days, saying that soap is better than bath beans, have you forgotten?"

"He made the soap?" Li Jing opened his eyes wide, pointed at Zhang Dun and asked in surprise.

Li Daozong and Dou Lukuan also reacted, with surprised faces, "Then Chang'an City's new rock candy, Erguotou, and candles..."

Duan Lun nodded heavily and said: "Yes, Zhang Langjun made it all."

Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Dou Lukuan were stunned. They only knew that some interesting things had appeared in Chang'an City in the past few days, but they didn't know who made them, let alone where they came from.

Unexpectedly, these things were all made by the young man in green shirt in front of him!

No wonder he dared to say this!

The faces of the four of them became much more serious, and they lowered their heads and carefully read the words on the paper in their hands.

Zhang Dun stood aside, his face was full of depression, what happened, how well he behaved, his reputation spread.

This is completely different from my original intention of living my life in obscurity!

Brother Hu is hurting people!

Zhang Dun cursed secretly, ever since Zuixianlou's business boomed, Hu Guang would pull people to tell him how powerful Zhang Dun was.

Originally, he only wanted to make money from these things, and his name was all under the Zuixian Tower. Now that Hu Guang said it, when people in Chang'an City mentioned Zuixian Tower, they might also mention Zhang Dun!

"Ingenious workmanship, ingenious workmanship!"

If at this time, Duan Lun stared at the paper in his hand, his eyes became brighter the more he looked at it, and he muttered to himself: "It turns out that these things are needed to make these things..."

Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Duan Lun ignored him, but looked down at him, frowning more and more.

"Mr. Zhang," Li Jing raised his head to look at Zhang Dun, pointed at Duan Lun, and said, "The things you gave him are made by Zuixianlou Department Store. You want him to make things. I can understand that."

"However, I can't understand what you gave me. You asked me to recruit people. Why do you recruit people?"

Zhang Dun withdrew his thoughts, looked at Li Jing and patiently explained: "Manufacturing requires someone."

"He has plenty of people." Li Jing subconsciously said.

"Cough cough!" Li Er was listening quietly at the side, but when he heard Li Jing say this, he hurriedly coughed lightly, don't let me slip your mouth.

Li Jing also came back to his senses. Seeing the confused look on Zhang Dun's face, he hurriedly made amends and said, "He is a handicraft worker and knows a lot of people."

Well, that's the reason!Duan Lun nodded in agreement. As a Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if he doesn't know someone who can work, then the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is not in vain?

"That would save trouble." Zhang Dun laughed and said, "But it's not enough to have people who help with the work, and someone needs to help move and sell the goods."

"Today, my second uncle and I went to the West Market to supply the shops in the West Market, but my second uncle helped unload the goods. He alone is not enough."

"???" Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun trembled involuntarily while holding the paper, and looked at Zhang Dun in disbelief.

Do you ask Tiantian to unload the goods for you?

Is this what the Son of Heaven uses?

Li Er glared at them, be careful what you are making such a fuss about, anyone who dares to reveal his secrets, I will kill him!

Li Jing, Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun understood the meaning of Li Er's gaze, and all laughed.

"Understood." Li Jing nodded, and asked again: "How many people do we need to recruit?"

Zhang Dun asked back: "How many people can you recruit?"

It depends on you, if you want 10 people, as long as your second uncle nods, I can get them for you, Li Jing slandered in his heart, and pondered on the surface: "I'll give you 1 people?"

This time, it was Zhang Dun's turn to be stunned.

"Cough cough cough!!" Li Er kept coughing from the sidelines, looking at Li Jing, his eyes almost popped out, if you continue like this, it's time to reveal your secrets!

Li Jing said with a dry smile, "I'm just kidding, I can recruit up to 1000 people for you!"

"You scared me." Zhang Dun looked at him dumbfounded, "You said just now that you could recruit 1 people, but I thought you were in the Ministry of War."

In the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to say that 1 people were recruited, except for the emperor, the only one who was in charge of the Ministry of War was the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Don't think that he is the Minister of the Ministry of War!Li Daozong, Dou Lukuan, and Duan Lun said silently in their hearts.

Li Jing looked at Li Er expressionlessly, I didn't say this, he guessed it himself.

Li Er also looked at him blankly, clenched his fists tightly, is it wrong for me to ask the four of them to come over?

"Then it's up to you to find 1000 people to help." Zhang Dun pondered: "For money..."

Li Jing hurriedly said, "Your second uncle is out."
