"Shopkeeper Lin, the method you told me last time, I found some connections and passed it on to the Imperial Court. Our Emperor is wise and seems to have adopted this suggestion. You won't blame me for making my own decision, right?”
After a while, Li Shiming revealed the locust incident that Lin Feng mentioned previously.
He had already thought about it when he came.
Now, he had already let Du Ruhui spread the method of controlling locusts.
Sooner or later, the news would reach Lin Feng's ears.
Rather than waiting for Lin Feng to have a guess, it would be better to tell him directly now.
"Oh!"
After Lin Feng heard Old Li's words, he was slightly surprised.
"Not bad, Old Li. I always thought that you were just an ordinary businessman. Now that I look at you, your connections are a little strong! Not only could he pass on his ideas to the Imperial Court, but he could also get His Majesty to adopt them! Amazing."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Shiming didn't even have the time to feel smug.
This fellow's words immediately changed.
His usual evil smile appeared on his face again.
"Since His Majesty accepted the method you offered, did he not give you any practical benefits? Even if he didn't get promoted, he should at least get a thousand strings of silver, right? What, you don't plan to give me some? Look at how poor my store is.”
“....”
Alright! It was still that familiar Shopkeeper Lin.
He was not hesitant at all when it came to asking for money!
"Lil Feng, is it okay if I call you that?”
Just as Li Shiming was at a loss for an answer, Zhangsun Wugou, who was sitting at the side, suddenly spoke.
After hearing sister-in-law's words, Lin Feng's expression instantly changed.
His expression became serious again.
"Hehe, you can call me whatever you want. What's the matter?”
"Then it would be impolite of me to refuse. It would take a few days for the reward money to be distributed. After all, the court needed a process and time to verify it. My husband and I have already discussed it. When the time comes, we won't ask for a single cent and will give it all to you. This is your idea after all. This money can only be ill-gotten gains to us.”
After hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, Li Shimin was slightly stunned. He immediately understood Empress Zhangsun's thoughts.
She wanted to leave a good impression in Lin Feng's heart while concealing her identity.
He had not expected this.
"Uh, I was just casually saying that just now. Sister-in-law, don't take it seriously!”
Actually, Lin Feng had never thought of asking for any reward.
He was also confident that he did not lack this bit of money.
Right now, he was just waiting for the system to activate in peace.
If he really wanted money, he could make a lot of money by making some new gadgets.
Speaking of which, he really did not care about these rewards.
"The reward might not be much, but Lil Feng, you're alone now and don't know the importance of money. If you start a family in the future, you'll need money every step of the way.”
"Uh... Sister-in-law is thinking too far ahead! However, since you've already said so, if I continue to be polite, it would seem a little hypocritical!”
Lin Feng chuckled and accepted Old Madam Li's suggestion.
Anyway, he thought that it was just an idea. It probably wouldn't cost much.
"Little Six, go to the backyard and fill up a catty of my tea.”
"Yo, kid, are you being kind today? You're finally willing to let me leave with the tea leaves?”
"I'll reward you!"
...
Hehehe…
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Feng also discovered something.
Old Li's wife had an extraordinary way of talking.
Obviously, she was the daughter of a wealthy family!
Ordinary girls would not be able to talk well.
He didn't even know how to read.
"Lil Feng, I heard that Old Li admires your bachelor's degree and wonderful ideas very much. Are you interested in taking the imperial examination and becoming an official?”
After Old Li and Lin Feng clinked their glasses and left, Zhangsun Wugou started chatting with Lin Feng.
Li Shiming paused for a moment when he heard his wife's words.
His eyes stared straight at Lin Feng.
The last time he mentioned the imperial examinations, it seemed that this fellow always had a disdainful look on his face.
It seemed that he was very disdainful of the current imperial examinations.
"Imperial examinations?"
When Lin Feng heard Zhangsun Wugou's words, he didn't think too much about it.
With the rise of the imperial examinations, everyone in the world knew about it.
However, the imperial examination was a direct train for the aristocratic families.
"Forget it, I don't have that thought."
If one wanted to reform the imperial examinations, it would not work without some iron-blooded means.
When he thought of this, Lin Feng could only helplessly shake his head.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Lil Feng, you don't like the imperial court?”
Upon seeing Lin Feng sighing and shaking his head, Zhangsun Wugou probed again.
He sighed and shook his head at the mention of the imperial examinations.
They either looked down on the imperial examinations or the imperial court.
Hence, Zhangsun Filth was a little curious whether Lin Feng belonged to the former or the latter.
"It's not that I don't like it. Even if I were to go, it would be useless. Even if I were to suppress everyone with my skills, I wouldn't even be able to leave my name behind in the end. I might just make myself feel uncomfortable. There was no need for that.”
The imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were actually no different from the Sui Dynasty.
They were all arranged by aristocratic families. If someone like him who had no background went and did well, it would be a small matter if he was impersonated.
If he was targeted by someone with a terrifying background, it was not impossible for him to replace him and silence him.
A system full of loopholes, why should he be a clown being played by others?
"What do you mean? Could it be that the imperial examinations of the Great Tang are also a bustling event in your eyes?”
When Li Shi Min heard Lin Feng's mocking words, how could he not know that Lin Feng was looking down on the imperial examination system?
