I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Zhang Nuo felt that it was a good deal to use a small sum of money to reproduce the scenes in his memory, reminisce about the past years, and buy people's hearts.

While walking in the workshop area, Zhang Nuo thought about his experience in the past half a year, thinking about it, he couldn't help sighing, I'm really a mother who can toss.

It looks like a salted fish, but this one has also tossed out a huge family business without making a sound.

Each of these piles is the imprint he left on this world. Even if he left this world at this very moment, he has already left his own indelible imprint in this magnificent era. up.

At this moment, Zhang Nuo felt as if he drank a cup of peerless fine wine. The sweetness was accompanied by a little bit of drunkenness, which was the most intoxicating.

He suddenly thought of his own dog system. Those exercises and rewards are good, but in fact, maybe after he finished those things, he looked back at the road he had traveled, and the gains would be even more rewarding. many.

Zhang Nuo came out of the workshop area where only the guards were left, and walked slowly towards the house. Hearing the indistinct conversations of the parents and smelling the aroma of food coming from nowhere, Zhang Nuo smiled slightly. , I almost forgot, there is a bigger project here than the workshop area.

This large piece of land will be his most ambitious and far-reaching work in Datang. He will also use all his wisdom, ability, and financial resources to leave his deepest footprints in this era!

Chapter 386 The Foundation of Building a City

When Zhang Nuo came home at night, he brought a plate of snacks and a bottle of Wuliangye exchanged from the system, and completely let himself down.

For a heartless person like him, suddenly realizing that he had made so many achievements, it was really something worth clarifying.

No matter how he will go in the future, which step he can take, at least from the current point of view, he has already taken the first step.

Good wine is indeed good wine, at least you won't have a headache the next day after getting drunk. This is Zhang Nuo's years of drinking experience.

Climbing up from the bed in a daze, Zhang Nuo stretched his waist first, and after hearing the crackling of joints, he felt refreshed.

Zhang Nuo had a rare sleep-in today, and didn't go to practice martial arts early in the morning, so when he walked downstairs, everyone had finished eating and went to work, only Zhang Erniang was still waiting.

After all, she is a full-time cook. Occasionally, the owner's hands itch to cook, which is fun. You can't let the owner cook every day, so she has to wait.

Now Hongyu is very happy to be the head of the kindergarten. Hongdou was originally her maid, but now she is the deputy head of the kindergarten. The two sisters, Tiantian and a group of bear children, follow Zhang Nuo's basic principles of having fun and studying hard. , making a fuss every day.

And Hongyu and Hongdou, who were not very old at first, lived like innocent girls, which made Zhang Nuo very happy.

Lao Fang is the busiest person in the family, and he has to watch him inside and out. In his eyes, everyone is a bastard who wants to cheat money from the master's pocket. If he doesn't watch, something will happen.

Therefore, the family is full, and the one who has the most leisure time and the most time is Zhang Nuo, the head of the family.

However, starting today, he can't be idle anymore.

Because yesterday he had received the imperial edict prepared by Li Shimin, formally changing the name of this Zhuangzi to Lantian City, and at the same time he had full authority to manage it.

In fact, the courtiers did not object to this way, which would be inconceivable in later generations, and would completely create a will of a country within a country.

Because in the eyes of everyone, it is nothing more than a county, and to put it bluntly, all policies are implemented under their noses. As long as they are good, wouldn't it be okay to copy them?

More importantly, everyone knew the relationship between Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin, to be precise, the relationship between Zhang Nuo and the old Li's family.

A person who can have a good relationship with the former, current and even the next emperor is just wanting to use a county as an experimental field, so why oppose it?

Everyone knows that as long as the credit is in place, this may be the No. 1 king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty.So, is it normal for a vassal to have his own fief?

It is precisely because I have figured this out that I passed the "special zone" in a county without much effort.

Now Zhang Nuo can finally use his ability and imagination to write on this white paper in a fair manner.

The first thing Zhang Nuo wanted to do was to get a more formal office space.

Although he wanted to make some achievements here, he couldn't exhaust himself to death, he couldn't do everything by himself.

What he hates the most is the county magistrate system at this time. The county magistrate is responsible for everything from finance and taxation to public security, from farmland to city defense, from trial to education.

It’s strange that this shit doesn’t have any problems. If you think about it, you know how difficult the work is, and how much knowledge you need to meet the needs of these jobs. It’s not something that can be done in a few years just by learning these things.

No wonder there were only a few well-known county magistrates in thousands of years of history, and it's no wonder that many county magistrates were dismissed by local masters and so on, and instead took the blame for their subordinates.

This is completely helpless, who told you that you don't understand at all, if you don't rely on these old officials, let alone promotion, you can't even handle local affairs.

However, on the one hand, it is because people's hearts are sinister, and on the other hand, it is also because it is too difficult to really become a qualified or even excellent county magistrate in this era.

Have you memorized the Wu De Law, have you practiced in military training, and whether there is a local development plan? All kinds of messy things actually require a lot of knowledge and experience.

In terms of knowledge, Zhang Nuo naturally has no shortage. Since he has the courage and thought to do this, he must be prepared.

However, there is a big problem here, that is, he is lazy!

Obviously, in later generations, there could be several hundred or even thousands of civil servants in a county, and even the total number of civil servants in larger counties may already be several thousand.

Then why should he accumulate all the work, and finally rely on a small group of people to do all the work for nothing?

However, there is a problem here. Where can he get so many literate people to serve as civil servants? Some positions are not necessary, but at least management positions are absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, who will write the official documents?

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo also sighed deeply. No wonder later generations often say that education is the foundation of the country. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Whether it is to develop industry, agriculture, commerce or maintain the operation of a country, it is inseparable from a large number of talents, and where these talents come from can only be cultivated slowly from a large number of students.

The reasoning is easy to understand, but no matter how much he invests now, he won't be able to produce the talent he wants in a short time.

So, where can we get a group of obedient and sensible young scholars to come over?

You know, what he wants is not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds.

It's not that Zhang Nuo never thought of asking for it from Li Shimin, but the people under Lao Li's subordinates are all serving officials. Who would be willing to give up their current official position and work under his so-called county magistrate?

Zhang Nuo is also worried at this time, he has finally found what he wants to do, and he is planning to do a big job, why is it so difficult to even start.

Zhang Nuo walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, intending to take a walk around the village, but he saw Xingben not far away, and was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xingben playfully and smiled.

Xingben was so terrified by Zhang Nuo's smile, he knew how monstrous his family was. To be honest, he didn't think anyone else in Tang Dynasty could hold back this man except His Majesty.

Moreover, even His Majesty treats this man with courtesy and kindness, but the scariest thing about Zhang Nuo is not his sky-high background but his monstrous schemes.

Now that Zhang Nuo looked at him like this, he immediately felt chills from the bottom of his heart. Is this the rhythm of being killed?

Chapter 387 A Feast for Old Li and His Son

Naturally, Zhang Nuo wouldn't come here to kill Xingben for no reason, after all, he was quite comfortable with the head of the guard.

However, after seeing Xingben, he immediately remembered that besides Lao Li, there is also Xiao Li who has someone in the palace now.

It's not convenient for Lao Li to have people in his hands now, but it's okay to use Xiao Li's people. It just so happens that Xiao Li also comes to learn from him, isn't that a good thing.

The people in the Eastern Palace must be a little unconvinced if they follow him, but if they follow the prince, are you still unconvinced?

With face, you can become the first batch of officials with reform pilot experience in governing in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo was instantly amused, and he admired himself for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

The scholars and officials who can be attached to in the East Palace are definitely not high-ranking officials. The high-ranking officials are all sent by Lao Li to teach the prince, so they cannot be considered as attachments.

And those who can be attached are nothing more than hoping to find a good relationship from the heir of the empire. Since these people have needs, it will be easier to deal with them. There is a ready-made way out here.

Haha, the more Zhang Nuo thought about it, the more appropriate it became, and he burst out laughing.

It doesn't matter if he smiled, Xingben almost collapsed on the ground, what is the master planning to do, first he saw him laughing very strangely, now he laughed even more, could it be that he really planned to be him?

He is different from the ordinary people outside who only hear about his name but don't see him. He is a person who has really been in contact with Zhang Nuo for such a long time, so he doesn't know Zhang Nuo's horror.

If this master is to talk about his ability, he is really unparalleled in the world, with both civil and military skills, but if he wants to talk about his shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming is that he is a little narrow-minded.

Of course, a little greedy, oh, a little lazy, um, a little out of tune...

Xingben is that the longer he gets along with Zhang Nuo, the more he knows, although Zhang Nuo talks about his ability like a banished fairy, he has all kinds of tricks, but in the end he is still a mortal with all emotions and six desires, and the banished fairy might not care about a small bug , but mortals are different, maybe he will be offended by a word one day.

Not to mention Xing Ben's ever-changing expression, after Zhang Nuo was there hahaha for a long time, he finally remembered that he was outside at the moment, and he still had to maintain his face and image as the owner of the villa, so he quickly pretended to be nonchalant looked at Xingben and said,

"Xingben..."

As soon as he yelled Xingben, Zhang Nuo saw Xingben kneeling on the ground opposite Xingben.

Zhang Nuo was stunned, what does this mean?I was just going to tell you something to do, what the hell do you mean by kneeling down?

These days, you don't even have to kneel to see the emperor. What a real man cares about is kneeling on the ground and kneeling on his parents. What the hell is this doing?

Xingben was also very embarrassed at this time, he had made up too much of his own imagination, and as a result, Zhang Nuo knelt in fright as soon as Zhang Nuo opened his mouth, but did he tell all the things he had imagined?

At that time, I'm afraid it's not a brain supplement, but a reality, so Xingben said seriously with a sudden inspiration,

"Patriarch, Xingben has not made any achievements for many days. I am really ashamed in my heart. Now the Patriarch is loved by His Majesty, and he will display his ambition of Lingyun in a square inch. Xingben is willing to attach wings and tails, and he will not hesitate to do so!"

Looking at Xingben's decisive appearance, Zhang Nuo couldn't help sighing in his heart, after all, he is someone who has studied for a few days. Not only did he kneel down when he was so excited, but he also spoke much better than usual. The head of my nursing home is so capable. The level is really gratifying!

Zhang Nuo was happy, but Xingben was almost too embarrassed to bear it.

This nima has never expressed his loyalty before His Majesty. He has always been a man of reticence and prudence. He has always thought that it is better to do well than to speak well, but now he has also begun to show his loyalty?

However, even if Xingben offered his allegiance here, it was nothing more than a trivial matter. The most important thing was to quickly get things done according to Zhang Nuo's arrangement.

Zhang Nuo directly supported Xingben and said,

"Xingben, you go to the palace, it is most convenient for you to go to the palace at home, call Cheng Qian out for me, and say that I will invite him to dinner at our restaurant in Dongshi at noon."

"Also, let's tell Lao Li. After all, he is asking his son to eat. If he is free, he will come!"

Xingben nodded, asked a few more questions, and found that there was nothing else to explain, so he quickly turned around and led the horse to go outside to beat the horse.

Zhang Nuo also went home to change clothes. He was going to Chang'an City, and he had to talk about things with others. Dressing too casually made him look down on others.

It was very convenient for Xingben to come to the palace before, but now that Li Shimin has a showdown with Zhang Nuo, it will be even more convenient.

According to Zhang Nuo's instructions, he first went to the East Palace to report to Li Chengqian, and then as expected, Li Chengqian readily agreed to the banquet, and then Xingben transferred to Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin, who had just left the court in Ganlu Hall, was discussing matters with several confidant ministers. As soon as Xingben appeared, they saw him. Before the servant reported, Li Shimin called him in directly.

Too lazy to play salute games with Xingben, Li Shimin asked directly,

"Xingben, if you don't stay in Zhuangzi well, what's the matter in coming to the palace?"

Xingben saluted as usual, then respectfully cupped his hands and said,

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xingben was ordered by the Patriarch to invite the Prince's Palace to the East City Restaurant in the afternoon for a banquet. At the same time, the Patriarch of Your Majesty has also confessed. If Your Majesty still has time, you can go with me!"

Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, Zhang Nuo treat?

Be darling, this is a big weird thing. Although their old Li's family often spends time with Zhang Nuo, it is really rare for Zhang Nuo to take the initiative to treat guests. of this kind.

Originally, Li Shimin really had something to do at noon. I didn’t see that he called a group of people to discuss the matter, but when he thought about Zhang Nuo’s treat at noon and his son, it was obviously something to do. Then... I went to see Look?

Yes, one is my sworn brother, and the other is my eldest son. I have to visit both public and private.

Li Shimin instantly found a reason for himself, looked at Xingben and said seriously,

"Xingben, you go to Dongshi Restaurant first and wait, I will be there later, you should tell Yidi first!"

Xingben hurriedly clasped his fists to promise, then turned and left. He had to go to Dongshi Restaurant to say something in advance. After all, so many big people were coming to eat, if the seats and ingredients were not prepared in advance, something big might happen.

After watching Xingben leave, Li Shimin turned to look at Changsun Wuji and others beside him and said,

"Later, everyone, go over with me to have a look, I'm thinking that my brother-in-law is going to make a big move!"

Chapter 388 The Purpose of Zhang Nuo's Banquet

When Zhang Nuo arrived at the restaurant, he saw a large group of staff in the restaurant cleaning inside and out, up and down, under Xingben's command, and Xingben was gesticulating from the sidelines and at the same time kept shouting loudly,

"Hurry up with your hands and feet. The Patriarch is going to entertain some important people here today. You have to be careful. Don't embarrass the family when the time comes. Be careful of your skin!"

Zhang Nuo nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the construction of corporate culture is still somewhat effective. The employees are highly motivated. At least this middle-level management cadre has done a good job in implementing the company's leadership intentions. He is a good comrade.

Zhang Nuo didn't bother Xingben, bypassing him and directly walked into the restaurant.

It's been a while since I've been here, but this restaurant doesn't seem to have changed much.Of course, it's definitely cleaner than before. What happened just now can't be done in vain, right?

Zhang Nuo went straight up to the third floor, which was the private room area, and the innermost private room was basically only used by himself and Lao Li, and no one else could use it at all.

Zhang Nuo leaned against the window and watched the people coming and going on the street, and immediately found it very interesting, and stared at it with great interest.

Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and his son came with Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling. They knew where to eat without being told, so they went upstairs without anyone notifying them.

As a result, as soon as he came in, he saw Zhang Nuo leaning against the window with a smile on his face, and immediately found it interesting.

"Brother, which girl on the street did you see? Are you smiling so happily?"

Zhang Nuo was startled by Li Shimin's words, turned his head to look at Li Shimin with a wicked smile on his face, and said angrily,

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm like you, wanting to get into the palace when I see a beautiful girl?"

Li Shimin smiled, and didn't answer, he moved to the window, and found that there was really nothing to look at, so he hooked up with Zhang Nuo and whispered,

"What's the matter, what's the important thing to find Chengqian today? You usually don't want to come out of Zhuangzi!"

Although Changsun Wuji and the others had a good relationship with Zhang Nuo, it would be a bit timid to let them hang their shoulders in front of Li Shimin like Zhang Nuo did.
