The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

"It's not this, Childe, you have sacrificed so many rare treasures to Your Majesty, this is a great achievement. Your Majesty has taken your contribution to heart and will soon be rewarded. Li Erzheng said.

"Reward?!" Li Changge immediately shook his head and refused, knowing that the Tang Dynasty was fighting fiercely and did not want to fall into the factional struggle of officialdom.

"No, no, I don't want to be an official, Lao Li, you can go by yourself. "

Li Er was stunned by Li Changge's answer.

Wei Zheng explained in a timely manner: "The prince misunderstood, His Majesty meant to give him a knighthood and a fortune, but he didn't have to go to court every day, which was similar to an honorary position." "

When Li Changge heard that he didn't have to clock in and out of work every day, he suddenly became interested: "Oh...... So, what level of national duke?".

Li Er smiled awkwardly: "Well, this...... With the current situation, it may be that the position of the prince is still ...... fire."

Li Changge laughed and patted Li Er's shoulder: "You see that you are nervous, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, my little credit is estimated to mean it, just reward some money, don't think too much." "

Although Li Changge said this, he didn't believe in his heart how generous the reward Li Er said.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of historical novels, and he knew that rewards were often linked to military merits, but he also understood that giving modern weapons such as grenades was undoubtedly a huge improvement in military strength, and to some extent could be regarded as major military merits. However, he doubted that Li Shimin's current level of knowledge would be able to fully realize this. Therefore, Li Changge did not have much expectations for the so-called reward.

At this moment, Empress Changsun unexpectedly touched Li Er lightly with her elbow and glared at him.

Li Er suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and Wei Zheng and other ministers couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Li Er had mixed feelings in his heart, as if he was a stingy father and was reluctant to give favors to his son. In fact, if it weren't for the limitations of realistic conditions, he would have wanted Li Changge to become a top grandmaster, and even live in the East Palace. But after thinking about it, if the country was peaceful and prosperous, it might not be possible to discover Li Changge's talents.

Li Er had no choice but to laugh first, secretly thinking about how to properly reward him.

Seeing that the queen had no objections, and several important ministers did not object, even if some people in the family were dissatisfied and wanted to obstruct it, considering that they did not know Li Changge's true identity, the security issue should still be properly handled, and more soldiers and horses could be sent to protect it.

"Childe, remember, this is not a joke, there will definitely be a reward!" Li Er emphasized, "In addition, about the matter of Quyuan Plough...... Well, you also know ......

".

"Okay, okay, Lao Li, get in the carriage quickly, if you delay it after dark, you will have to walk back to Chang'an at night, this area is full of Turkic activities, don't rub it off, you should hurry up!" Li Changge urged.

After sending Li Er and his party away, Li Changge became more and more confused.

This self-proclaimed wealthy businessman Lao Li seems to be in a hurry, and he seems to have endless words, and his focus is obviously not all about making money and making a fortune, which makes Li Changge feel quite strange.

However, as a traveler, it is also a pleasure to be able to make a few friends who are broad-minded and willing to accept new things, and share the fun of scientific research together.

......

Li Er rushed back to Chang'an non-stop, and his heart was full of extremely important gains.

In his opinion, among all things in the world, there is nothing like chemical fertilizer that can increase the people's grain production. Although the industrial production process of chemical fertilizer still needs to be further studied and perfected by Li Changge, and there is still a gap between laboratory preparation and large-scale industrial production, Li Er is not impatient because he is willing to wait.

However, for the artifact of Qu Yuan Plow, Li Er couldn't press the urgency in his heart.

After the end of the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was reunited, and the people were able to re-cultivate and recuperate. At this time, the imperial court was faced with the dilemma of a sharp decline in population and insufficient tax revenue, and the treasury was empty, and even the payment of salaries and silver for the Xuanjia army could be interrupted at any time. The country is in a critical period of reconstruction, and the emergence of the Quyuan plough at this time will undoubtedly have an immeasurable impact on agricultural production and people's livelihood.

Return to the palace ......

Li Er did not wait for the next morning, but immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji, Duan Lun and other ministers to hold an emergency meeting in the Ganlu Palace.

In the dead of night, the ministers who received the summons were all puzzled, and they wondered if there was something wrong in the palace, after all, in ancient times, a late-night summon often foreshadowed something extraordinary.

When everyone walked into the main hall, seeing Li Er's expression of frowning, they were even more sure that things were extraordinary.

Unexpectedly-

"See Your Majesty!".

"Summoned late at night, but something happened in the palace?".

"Hahahahaha!".

When Li Er saw a few people enter the hall, he actually laughed out loud. His eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and he didn't look nervous and anxious just now, but was as excited as a child for the New Year.

"Fang Xuanling, Duan Ziming, you're here, it's great. "

Li Er smiled, "I do have a big deal to hand over to you!"

The joy on Li Er's face made Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and Duan Lun all stunned.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng then walked into the hall, and the two of them also showed red faces, full of joy.

They secretly thought to themselves: What day is today that can make His Majesty so happy?

Li Er immediately turned to Duan Lun and announced solemnly and excitedly: "Duan Ziming, I have an important task to be entrusted to you!"

When Duan Lun heard this, he immediately responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister must do his best to act according to your will. "

Although Duan Lun is not a core member of the Tiance Mansion and is not a well-known figure in many historical interpretations, he was born in the Sui Dynasty, and after returning to the Tang Dynasty, he was able to be promoted to the high position of the Six Shangshu by Li Er, which is enough to prove that his talent is extraordinary. Although he is low-key, and as a former courtier, there are not many records in the history books, but this does not mean that he is incompetent. When he was young, Duan Lun was chivalrous and righteous, scattered and poor, quite like the ancestors of the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although he had to be more cautious and low-key as a subordinate, Duan Lun always firmly supported Li Er's political line, and gradually rose to the position of Shangshu with his excellent work ability.

Faced with the late-night summons, Duan Lun was quite confused. As a secretary of the Ministry of Works, he has been busy with important matters such as grenades, divine arm bows, and precision cast iron armor recently, and he doesn't understand what more important matters he needs to deal with personally.

Just when he was puzzled, Li Er gave the answer.

"Now I want you to organize the manufacture of a batch of farm tools, the quantity is huge, and you must handle it carefully. "

"Your Majesty, what kind of farm tools are you talking about......?"
