Chapter 533: [Fighting the Censor]
Chapter 533:
...
Li Chengqian pressed his chin and said, "If you say forgive me, forgive me. If my cement road has not been made yet, will you sue me? Then I will be punished by my father? What should I do then? Will you say forgive me?"
The censor was stunned by the words, and then said awkwardly: "Your Highness, this is also my duty, I..."
..
Li Chengqian said leisurely: "I was wronged by you."
Do you think that if you take up a responsibility and do this, you can save you from wronging me?
The censor suddenly had a bitter face.
He did not find out what Li Chengqian sent people to do to build official roads here, but when he saw that the people from Foreman Lu not only poured black mud on the road, but also blocked passers-by and refused to let them go, the censor felt that he had caught the handle, so that he could sue the prince. If he had gone to Xiamaling to take a look, it would be great that the dark mud in his eyes was not the mud, but the cement of the building.
Now he has no place to regret it even if he wants to regret it.
"Chengqian, don't blame Yu Jingshi Wan. Although he didn't understand your actions and reported it to me, his original intention was to be good to the Tang Dynasty." Old Li turned around, broke the stalemate of Li Chengqian and the others, and continued, "I ask you, did you really invent this cement?".
Li Chengqian glanced at the Censor named Wan with hatred, then answered Lao Li, saying, "Go back to Father, that's right."
Old Li nodded and said, "I don't know how much this cement costs? How long can it be paved? Can it be as durable as a stone?"
The cost of cement is not high.
As long as limestone is used to burn, cement can be burned out. The fuel is coal dug from the coal mountain, except for manpower. It is almost free, so it really takes into account that cement is not worth a few dollars.
The durability of cement is sometimes more durable than stone. So Lao Li also received a satisfactory answer for this.
"Okay, take me to your cement factory to see it!" Old Li said expectantly.
Li Chengqian did not walk around and did not look at the censor. He said: "Father, my son is also making contributions to the country when he built roads, but for no reason, this censor said that he was destroying the official roads, and my son is not convinced!"
Now Old Li is obviously interested in Li Chengqian's cement, but he doesn't get Li Chengqian back. Li Chengqian can't swallow this. He didn't take advantage of this time to let Old Li get the surname Wan. Then he missed the opportunity.
Old Li also saw Li Chengqian's simple scheming.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, he was not angry. The Censor Wan was really good. If you want to sue others, you have to find evidence and verify it before suing it. Moreover, you are still the crown prince, which is really frivolous and hasty. Now that Li Chengqian has a treasure, Old Li had to stare at the Censor.
The censor secretly said that it was not good!
"Censor Wan, if you don't find out clearly, you will say that the prince has destroyed the official career. It's really a hasty. I will punish you for three months' salary. Can you accept it?" Old Li said majesticly.
Censor Wan quickly bowed his head and said, "Submit. Submit!"
Three months fine?
This is too simple!
Li Chengqian was not satisfied, coughed and said, "Father, I saw that Censor Wan is very familiar with the matter of the road. I think it's better to let Censor Wan supervise the Censor Wan supervise the Censor. I'm afraid that these subordinates will accidentally repair the official road. If that happens, it will be broken, so I feel relieved if Censor Wan supervises it!"
Supervise the road construction? What official is this?
I haven't heard of a censor who has asked him to supervise the construction of roads!
But no matter whether there is or not, the prince has proposed it now. This is obviously not a good job. It is obviously the prince taking revenge on Censor Wan!
The Censor Wan's face became worse and worse, and he looked at Lao Li pitifully.
Old Li was a little angry with Li Chengqian. I have punished the Censor Wan. It would be too dissatisfaction if you still want to take control of me!
But Li Chengqian was wronged first, and now he has cement as good as Duan Zhixuan said, so Old Li still knows how to take care of Li Chengqian. He said: "Chengqian's statement makes sense. If the Censor Wan is so concerned about the official road, then he will supervise the project of turning the cement on the official road. In order to perform the errand, he will be replaced by the Ministry of Works. If the errand is completed well, he will be transferred back to the position of the Censor!"
He didn't say what if he did not complete well, but the implication was already very obvious. If he did not complete well, you deserve to be demoted.
The censor's face turned pale. This censor is a first-rank official, while the Ministry of Works is a fifth-rank official. The official position is a fifth-rank official, such as this one, which has a fifth-rank official, so the Censor and the Ministry of Works are nearly seven or eight levels apart. This makes people live!
But after all, Censor Wan is a man who has seen strong winds and heavy rains. This offended the prince and was already good enough to be in his mind. Now that he is demoted, will he still have a chance to get up in the future?
So he took the order to Lao Li.
Li Chengqian thought that Lao Li had some words. Isn’t it all said by people? Then, I will give the official position to the Censor Wan. Then, wouldn’t his last sentence be said in vain? He had to say this, giving people the danger of losing the official position if he didn’t do well. Li Chengqian could feel that Lao Li was deliberately saying it to him.
He just wanted to give Li Chengqian a Censor who had already punished ten thousand censors, and the heavier ones would be in the future. This is an illusion.
Lao Li gave Li Chengqian an illusion.
Li Chengqian was dissatisfied at first, but thought that Lao Li was giving Li Chengqian face and would take care of his emotions. Otherwise, a first-rank official would not be surrendered as much as he wanted. Even if the emperor wanted to kill anyone, he would have to show it to other ministers and convince other ministers. Otherwise, it would be bad for the ministers to be disheartened. Therefore, it would be a very important move for Lao Li to surrender Wan Jingshi like this. If the road was blocked again, it would be bad.
So Li Chengqian was relieved and didn't bother with the censor Wan.
Censor Wan also clearly understood that he had to suffer for a while and did not really lose the official position, so he no longer felt nervous.
Leaving the Censor Wan to follow the Lu Foreman, Li Chengqian took Lao Li to the cement factory in Xiamaling.
When he arrived at the cement factory, Lao Li looked at the black cement that had already been pushed out from outside and asked, "Is this the cement I saw on the official road? That's how cement is?"
Li Chengqian nodded.
"It's actually so many!" Old Li praised.
"Father, this was only produced in two or three days, and it was taken to part of the headquarters of Jianfeixin Bureau, the roads of Xiamaling, and the cement on the other side of the Guan Road were all taken here!" Li Chengqian explained.
Chapter completed!
