Chapter 738: Gratitude as Heavy as a Mountain Warms the Heart

Liu Tan was walking on the gravel road that had just been rolled today, with his wife holding his arm. It was getting dark.

There were poles on both sides of the road. The people of the Sixteenth Guard lit diesel lamps and hung them on the poles, one every hundred steps.

The light was not bright, but when it was hung there, it gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

Because in order to prevent theft, there were people of the Sixteenth Guard guarding it.

The reason why it was a diesel lamp instead of a kerosene lamp was because the kerosene had to be sold.

When oil was distilled, diesel was the largest in quantity, followed by gasoline.

Gasoline can be used to make weapons, so it should be kept, and diesel can be used.

Not only in the south of the city, but also in the east and west of the city.

This is called the lighting project. The oil was obtained for free, the kerosene was sold for money, and part of the diesel was taken out for lighting at night.

The sky was obviously gloomy, and Liu Tan could not see the stars in the night sky, but suddenly he felt that there was light around him and his breathing was smooth.

"My husband, our family is here. There is no yard or fence. All the people here are officials of the current dynasty, and some are exiled officials."

When Fang talked about exiled officials, she was proud again.

Her husband was a rank 7, which was far inferior to the exiled officials, although the living environment was the same.

"The toilet is a little further away, and there are special people to clean it, and men and women are separated." Fang continued to introduce.

There is a diesel lamp every fifty steps in this house, which can barely make people see the house and the road.

While talking, the two came to the door of the house.

The door suddenly opened, and two children stood at the door: "Dad is back, mom is back."

Liu Tan smiled when he saw his children. The tiredness in Sinong Temple disappeared instantly, and everything was worth it.

After entering, he looked at the three rooms and the study. The dining place was behind the main house, the kitchen.

An old man and an old woman were sitting next to the dining table waiting. When Liu Tan entered, the old lady stood up and the old man continued to sit.

"Little Tan is back, sit down quickly." The old lady smiled.

"Mom, sit down while I wash my hands. Today... smells good!" Liu Tan smelled the aroma of food.

Fang fetched water for him to wash his hands, and the old man spoke.

"The eunuchs in the palace came before, delivering food and a string of money, saying that they were congratulating the happy housewarming." The old man said where the food came from.

Liu Tan immediately bowed in the direction of Xingqing Palace: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The old man then said: "The eunuch left your Majesty's oral instructions, saying: Liu Qing, this is all I can give you now. If you feel it is not enough, you can tell me. This is a high salary to maintain integrity, I hope you understand."

Liu Tan was stunned, and bowed again in the direction of Xingqing Palace: "I know, if there is any dishonesty, I will die without regrets."

He understood that if His Majesty gave benefits first, His Majesty would not be soft-hearted if there were still problems.

He was the chief clerk of the Sinong Temple, which was responsible for grain planting technology, and he also secretly took seeds home to eat.

You can't take it in the future. If you don't have enough food at home, take the seeds, and I forgive you.

The food has been given, and it does not involve the problem of not having enough food, so why take it?

After washing hands, the lids on the table were taken off, revealing the food underneath.

The meal was rice, and the dishes were braised pork with fried tofu, fried eggs with Chinese toon sprouts, fried meat with garlic sprouts, eggplant strips with sauce, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

The two children kept swallowing their saliva, greedy.

"There are six salted goose eggs. There are enough dishes on the table, but they were not brought up. The dishes sent by His Majesty from the palace." The old lady's eyes were a little red.

Liu Tan looked at the dishes: "Mom, the palace can't make this taste, this is the food of Li's manor."

"Don't fool me, it's from the palace." The old lady emphasized.

"Yes, mom is right, the food is from the imperial kitchen in the palace." Liu Tan followed suit.

He saw that the mushrooms in the chicken stewed with mushrooms were sticky mushrooms. How could the palace use such mushrooms?

It is said that Li's manor loves to eat this kind of mushrooms that don't look good, but they taste good, better than hazel mushrooms, pine mushrooms, and monkey heads.

"I sent you a bamboo tube of wine, the wine from the Li family manor, but they said you can't keep it. The bamboo tube was just filled, and it would leak out if you keep it."

The old man took a bamboo tube from the side, with a small hole plugged by a wooden stopper.

Liu Tan confirmed again that the food was given by the Li family manor, otherwise how could it be the wine from the Li family manor?

A bamboo tube of half a catty of wine, the father and son drank it, and both of them were drunk.

All the food on the table was eaten up. Although the two little guys were small, they were very good eaters, stuffing braised pork into their mouths one piece after another.

After dinner, Liu Tan sat in the study thinking about things, while the old lady and Fang cleaned up.

"Husband, take a rest." Fang came over and said with a blushing face.

Tonight, many people in the houses ten miles away from Chang'an City were drunk.

Including the fifth-rank officials, the fifth-rank officials got more things and money.

The next day, before the sun rose, a group of four-wheeled carriages arrived.

The driver shouted: "It's time to go to court~~~Get on the carriage~~~"

Liu Tan was awakened by the shouting. He didn't have a headache, but his waist was sore. He turned his head and looked at his wife who also sat up: "What is this?"

"My husband, I don't know." Fang looked lazy.

In the past, we lived in a shack, and the whole family lived in one room, which was inconvenient for many things.

We moved to a new house yesterday, and the two children lived in one room, and the parents lived in another room, which was convenient.

Fang got up, put on her clothes and went out.

After a while, she came back: "The court arranged a carriage. You can take the carriage when you go to the imperial city and come back in the future."

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage was loaded with officials and headed towards Chang'an City.

It was the first time for the officials living here to go to court in a designated carriage, and they didn't cooperate well out of curiosity.

"There is a bamboo basket in the car, covered with a small quilt, filled with buns, with a lot of salt, no soy sauce, and no vinegar."

The driver of the car that Liu Tan was sitting in said loudly, and there were five people with Liu Tan.

Everyone looked at each other and found the basket placed in the most conspicuous position.

First lift the quilt, then open the lid to reveal the buns inside.

"Eat." An official reached out to take a bun, took a bite, and the fragrance came out, meat buns.

"I don't know if your majesty will investigate the past." The second official who reached out to take the bun was worried.

"I can't, from now on." The third one said no, but the worry in his eyes was hard to dissipate.

Liu Tan took a bite of the bun and felt the same.

The better the treatment your majesty gave, the more ruthless it would be to clean up.

I hope your majesty will not investigate the past, UU reading wｗw.uukanshu.net Can't it be done in the future.

One carriage after another entered the city, some went directly to the imperial city, and some went to the offices in various districts.

When they got there, some people still hadn't finished their buns. They were so delicious that they couldn't bear to eat them, so they took small bites at a time.

Li Longji held a small meeting in Xingqing Palace and left three prime ministers.

"Is this a good idea?" Li Longji asked the three people about the treatment he gave to officials.

"Good!" Bi Gou was the first to respond. It was indeed good. He didn't spend the money of the Ministry of Revenue. The carriages and other things were all paid by His Majesty.

"I would like to equip other officials without cars in Chang'an with the same carriages."

Song Jing didn't say anything good. He felt that officials who lived far away had benefits, and officials who rented houses in Chang'an and had their own houses should not be left behind.

"I second the motion." Su Yan had no personal opinion and agreed with Song Jing's statement.
