Datang: A Technological Power

"Are you serious?"

Cheng Yaojin walked up first, looked at Xu Chen carefully, and felt a little itchy. He rubbed his hands and said,

"It is said that the golden armor god general has the courage of ten thousand men. I, Old Cheng, really want to learn from you!"

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. As a military general, he has not seen it with his own eyes, so he is definitely not convinced. Upon hearing this, the other generals also set their sights on Xu Chen. After observing him for a long time, they could not figure out what was going on.

Xu Chen looked like a scholar. Xue Rengui had to serve him in everything he did. His skin was so good that it was outrageous, without the slightest wrinkle!

They could never believe that such a person was a god of war. Thinking about how hard it was to lead troops in battle, his hands were still covered with chilblains and calluses!

"Haha, Cheng Yaojin, you can't even beat my apprentice, and you still want to compete with me?"

Xu Chen suddenly laughed, patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder, and joked,

"When you can fight my disciple Xue Rengui to a draw, come and challenge me again!"

When he said this, there was a burst of laughter. Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Li Ji all blushed.

It was embarrassing! Three people couldn't beat someone's disciple. If this was spread out, their reputation would be ruined!

At this time, Xue Rengui did not forget to add a knife and said seriously:

""Master's martial arts are far better than Rengui's. I can't last ten moves in Master's hands before I have to kneel down and eat dirt."

His words were honest and straightforward, with a power that made people have to believe. Several dukes believed him 70% of the time.

Yes, if Xu Chen didn't have some skills, how could he teach such a powerful apprentice? From the fighting power of his apprentice, it is enough to see how strong Xu Chen is.

Maybe all of them together are not his opponents?

Thinking of this, several old guys dared not talk nonsense anymore. This seemingly harmless boy is actually a ruthless person!

"Haha, I have already experienced Mr. Xu Chen's bravery. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he can defeat ten thousand enemies!"

Li Shimin laughed even happier, and even bowed to Xu Chen again, and then said,

"I said that day that with your merits, you are worthy of being named a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty! Once I say this, I will never regret it. From today on, you, Xu Chen, are the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the country is not destroyed, the title will last forever!"

Among the titles, the highest level is the"Heirloom" level! As long as these two words are included, the title will last forever. Unless the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, it will be hereditary and your descendants will have endless generations!

This is much more honorable than the general marquis, and even higher-end than the duke titles of some county dukes and county lords!

"Also, I came to Qinglong Village today and found that the villagers here are well fed and well clothed. I heard that it is all your credit! The things you created will surely benefit countless people in the Tang Dynasty in the future. This credit is enough to make you a marquis!"

Li Shimin was excited and looked at Zhangsun Wuji and others behind him, and asked,

"My dear ministers, Xu Chen's contribution is so great that it seems that a Marquis of the State is not enough. According to your opinion, what title should be given to him?"

Li Shimin wanted to raise the weight a little bit, it seems that he still thinks that a Marquis of the State is not enough for Xu Chen!

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu Chen has made great contributions in protecting the emperor, and he can be regarded as a founding hero. Now he has created wool sweaters and hybrid rice, which benefit the people of the world. In my opinion, he is worthy of being named a duke!"

Fang Xuanling bowed slightly and expressed his opinion. The other founding heroes also nodded.

They all knew about the Xuanwu Gate incident and knew how much role Xu Chen played in it. If it weren't for him, maybe they would have been chopped into meat sauce, and how could they have the current honor?

As for wool sweaters and hybrid rice, they are even more amazing things! If they can be popularized throughout the Tang Dynasty, so that the people all over the world can have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, then Xu Chen can be a saint on the spot! With such achievements, it is not an exaggeration to be named a duke. However, Changsun Wuji shook his head.

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Xu Chen has made great contributions, you cannot be so careless in making him a duke. He must have achievements that can convince court officials and be seen by the people of the world, otherwise there may be some criticism from the court and the public."

Chang Sun Wuji bent over and analyzed,

"In my humble opinion, it would be better to first let Mr. Xu Chen be conferred the title of Marquis, and then promoted to Duke after a while. In this way, it will be smooth and smooth."

His analysis was very logical, and even Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, conferring a duke is a major national event! If the emperor conferred a duke on someone who didn't know where he came from, it would definitely cause a lot of criticism and be very troublesome.

"Indeed, if Wei Zheng and his men start a commotion, it will be difficult for me to handle it.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and immediately made the decision.

"Okay, then I'll listen to the assistant! First, I'll confer the title of Marquis of the Realm of the Nation, and the others will be conferred later!"

"Xu Chen, are you satisfied?"

Such a generous reward is a chance for ordinary people to rise to the top in one step. Before Li Shimin could kneel down to express his gratitude, he was thinking happily about how Xu Chen should thank him.

But Xu Chen's reaction surprised everyone.

He looked calm and tilted his head and said:

"Hmm? When did I agree to accept the reward? Old Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I have no intention of leaving the mountain for the time being. Let's wait for another two years! I haven't had enough of this comfortable pastoral life!"

In his future plan, entering the court is necessary, but not now. He is only 14 years old now, at least he should be 16 years old, right? He still wants to play for another two years!

Li Shimin:"……"

Dear Dukes,"？？？"

Xue Rengui was full of admiration:"As expected of my master, he even dared to refuse the Emperor. How manly!"

"Xu Chen! Your thoughts are extremely wrong!"

Li Shimin looked a little embarrassed, pretending to be angry.

"You want to play for another two years, you are comfortable, but do you know how many people in the world will freeze to death or starve to death in these two years? How can you ignore the lives of the people in the world just for the sake of your own enjoyment?"

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is just beginning, there is a lot of work to be done. Since you have such a god-like ability, how can you refuse?……"

Li Shimin is a man who likes to preach. He uses the people of the world as his command and speaks with such righteous words that Cheng Yaojin and others are almost moved to tears.

Even Xu Chen is shocked.

Yes, he can play for another two years, but how can the people who are starving and freezing in the world wait for another two years?

It seems that he has to take this title!

It's a new day, and it's another day that needs evaluation votes and flowers!
