Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

After these dandies left, Li Shen began to wonder who to look for. Li Shen needs someone to handle newspapers. To be precise, he wanted to find a counselor. Among the military attaches was Xue Rengui. The civil servant needs someone who can help him as an adviser.

Wang Hongfu is the business manager. Politically speaking, Wang Hongfu could not catch up with Li Shen. Li Shen thought long and hard to find those celebrities in his memory. At this time, there are no capable people who can make great achievements.

After thinking for a quarter of an hour, Li Shen really thought of a capable person. The diplomat Wang Xuance was rumored to have destroyed a country with one man. This person is brave and resourceful and has both civil and military skills. His ancestors were all military generals.

It would definitely be a big help if he came to his house. Moreover, Li Shen remembered that Wang Xuance had never been a high official in his life. Probably because it has nothing to do with it. He also sent envoys to Tianzhu three times. There has been no relationship between North Korea and China for more than ten years.

Just do it. Li Shen asked someone to prepare a car and go to Menxia Province. He didn't know which department Wang Xuance was working in now. You can only go to Menxia Province and ask. The minister in charge of the province is Wei Zheng, Duke of Zheng.

In fact, Li Shen felt a little headache when he saw Wei Zheng. This old man can't tolerate oil and salt, and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He has complained to Li Shimin more than once. Competing with the people for profit is a loss of royal dignity. Spending money is a waste of money. Instructing the dandies of Chang'an to be dissolute and immodest. There are various reasons.

This time I went to find him because I had no choice but to go to him. It's better he wasn't there. It would be fine if Li Shen asked others to find Wang Xuance. Li Shen came to Menxia Province while thinking wildly on the carriage. But Wei Zheng's dream was shattered without him. After being informed, Wei Zheng came out to greet him. The prince is the first grade, and the servant is the second grade.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I don't know why you came to my residence." Wei Zheng still had the same businesslike expression.

"Zheng Guogong, I am here to ask you to help me check on a person. This person's name is Wang Xuance. I don't know where he is working now." Li Shen didn't want to follow a poker-faced Mo Ji.

"Oh. This is a trivial matter. I'll ask someone to investigate." Wei Zheng called a minister and asked him to investigate Wang Xuance. Then he said to Li Shen: "Why does King Ji want to find this person?" He was very curious. It seemed that Li Shen and Wang Xuance did not know each other. It doesn't look like revenge.

"It's nothing important." Li Shen wouldn't tell him. What to do if someone is robbed?

Wei Zheng saw that Li Shen was unwilling to talk and didn't ask any more questions. He was chatting with Li Shen all the time. Half an hour later the waiter brought someone. About 25 years old. He is of tall stature, handsome face and gentle manner.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, this is Wang Xuance. He is currently serving in Honglu Temple, and his official position has been lowered from the fifth rank to San Dafu," the assistant minister said to Li Shen. He really didn't take this official from the fifth rank seriously. If Li Shen hadn't come looking for him. He won't even take notice. The assistant minister is just below the fourth rank, several levels behind.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll reward you." Li Shen took two pieces of money from the stone and threw it to the waiter.

The minister and Wei Zheng were both stunned. The salaries of officials in the Tang Dynasty were the highest. Half money and half things. The monthly salary of a fourth-rank minister is ten guan in cash. Not counting the divided fields and handymen. This King Ji has a lot of bad habits when it comes to his actions. But this is the province, not your Prince Ji's palace. King Ji openly bribed officials. Did he really not understand this or did he do it on purpose?

"My lord, you can't do it. You can't do it. This breaks the rules." The waiter waved his hand quickly.

"Don't worry, take it. If someone impeaches you, just say it was given by me to keep you safe. Besides, this was given in front of Duke Zheng, not in private. You can't do things for me in vain." Li Shen said and put the money away. On the table, he said to Wang Xuance: "Mr. Wang, can you take a moment to speak." After saying that, he walked out.

Wang Xuance looked at Li Shen and then at Wei Zheng, who nodded. So Wang Xuance followed Li Shen out of the room and outside. Wang Xuance didn't know what a prince would do by himself.

He is now a Chaosan doctor in Honglu Temple. Equivalent to reserve cadres. It's just that he didn't know that he was still a reserve cadre after working all his life from the fifth rank.

"May I ask what your Highness, Prince Ji, wants to do with your subordinates?" Wang Xuance asked cautiously. He was originally full of enthusiasm. But when he got to the officialdom, especially the officialdom in Chang'an, he realized that passion was useless.

"Then I'll tell you straight. I heard that Mr. Wang is a talented man. I am short of a fifth-rank soldier who will join the army. I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing to serve in my house." Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance and told him bluntly.

"I wonder who the prince heard this from." Although he was born in a general family. But the family is in decline. He was born into a poor family. No one should recommend him

"Don't worry about this. It's just that if you come to my house, your future may be delayed, but the official may not become big. But you will definitely make more money than if you were an official. Your current salary is less than 20 yuan a year. Guan. If you come to my house, I will give you ten times the amount. One thousand Guan a year, your family can move to my imperial village, and I will give you [-] acres of Yongye field and [-] acres of official land. Work with me. After [-] years, I will give you another thousand acres. If you become an official, all the land will be given to you if you don’t take it back. If you are promoted by the court and reused in the middle, [-] permanent fields will not be taken back. And if you do well in the future, your salary will be returned. You raise your salary. What do you think?" Li Shen is a rich man who buys horse bones. The money is not important, but he is short of talents.

Wang Xuance deeply felt Li Shen's sincerity. Wei Zheng's annual salary is only a thousand dollars, of course, this does not include other income. The income and expenditure of Zhenguan officials are divided into several categories.

Just say that Li Shimin's reward to Wei Zheng was enough for him to serve as a minister for hundreds of years. Wang Xuance was thinking about the pros and cons. Now he is just a loose official with no real power. It doesn't matter if I don't know when I will be promoted. He has seen no one get promoted in his life. Following Li Shen may not mean you can't accomplish anything.

"How are you thinking about it?" Li Shen waited for Wang Xuance for a quarter of an hour and asked as Wang Xuance's expression seemed to have made up his mind.

"Thanks to the prince's respect, Xuance is willing to serve for the prince. From now on, he will be loyal to Li Shen." Wang Xuance knelt down and pledged his loyalty to Li Shen.

"Okay, great. Then get ready. Pack up. Follow me to the palace. I have something important for you to do." Li Shen helped Wang Xuance, feeling happy in his heart. This is a great talent with both civil and military skills. It's just that I was born at the wrong time.

"But your lord, the transfer of officials requires the approval of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Wang Xuance was afraid that Li Shen didn't know.

"It's okay. You go and clean up. I'll just go into the palace now and ask my Aye to write a handwriting. It will save you so much trouble." Li Shen said nonchalantly.

Wang Xuance lamented that it was easier for the emperor's son to do things. Things that originally required a lot of procedures were solved with just one note.

Li Shen rushed straight to Liangyi Hall without stopping. And Wang Xuance needed to talk to Wei Zheng.

"What does His Highness Prince Ji want from you?" Wei Zheng asked. He was afraid that Prince Ji was planning something outrageous.

"Back to your lord. Prince Ji wanted me to come to his house to consult and join the army." Wang Xuance did not hide anything.

"Consultation to join the army, the fifth rank. Are you familiar with King Ji before?" Wei Zheng asked

"I don't know each other."

"Well, you go ahead. I think Prince Ji should go directly to His Majesty. Help Prince Ji well." Wei Zheng nodded. Wang Xuance saluted Wei Zheng and then returned to Honglu Temple to pack his things.
