Chapter 29: Crying Poor
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the one who could go to the ceremony was the real boss. And those who can't go can only be regarded as small shrimp. This is the consensus of the moment.
Xu Jingzong, as Li Zhi's number one loyal dog, wrote to Chang'an a while ago, expressing his ardent hope to participate in the enthronement ceremony, and even said openly that the moment he could see His Royal Highness ascend the throne with his own eyes, the minister's death was also blind.
This is loyalty!
If Li Zhi hadn't fainted, he would definitely have sent him back to Chang'an to watch the ceremony, but this time he failed.
"There is a royal history that said that the old man is messing with you in Huazhou, and he is afraid that he will be contaminated with the habits of the broom star, and when the time comes, he will defeat the emperor, so it is best not to come. His Royal Highness scolded, saying that if the broom star could really defeat the emperor, it would be the same in Huazhou and Chang'an, but the ministers refused to agree......"
Xu Jingzong was very sad, and he almost had a handful of snot and tears.
Jia Ping'an sat back under the tree and meditated cross-legged, looking like a monk. After Lao Xu finished speaking, he sighed: "Envoy, this is a good thing!" β
"A good thing?" Xu Jingzong was furious, "Your Highness was persecuted by the courtiers, and he couldn't be the master, is this a good thing?" β
Such things...... At the moment of the gate valve family, it is normal to have a pen, but it is just a slap in the face of Lao Li.
"Among the ministers left by the first emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang are in a group, and the first emperor expects them to assist with all their hearts, but people are ......" Jia Ping'an glanced at Xu Jingzong, and his eyes were ...... How can I say it, it's very dusty, and I really have the taste of a monk.
"But people are fickle." Jia Ping'an thought of some indescribable creature, "Your Highness's foundation is unstable, and the eldest grandson Wuji has become a power, who can give up the power in his hands at such a time?" You? Or is he? β
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but shake his head, "If the old man is in power for a while, I'm afraid he will be reluctant to give up his power." β
"That's people." Jia Ping'an felt like a spiritual mentor, showing Xu Jingzong the way, "At such a time, what does His Highness want?" A loyal courtier. Envoy, the day when you will be reused is not far off. β
In the records of later generations, Xu Jingzong was reused, that is, after ascending the throne.
Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up, "Yes! The old man is loyal to His Royal Highness and has no other intentions. It's just that if you want to go back to Chang'an City, you want to do some merit, Ping'an, you can talk about ......"
Jia Ping'an smiled slightly, "I already have some abdominal cases, so you dare to give it a try?" β
This is a test, if Lao Xu hesitates, Jia Ping'an will stay away from him and find another way to avoid trouble. For example...... Sister Wu in Ganye Temple......
Thinking of Sister Wu, he couldn't help but look longing.
That's the Empress!
has been such a fierce girl for thousands of years, if she can hug Sister Wu's thighs, it will be invincible!
Xu Jingzong wanted to hesitate, but when he saw Jia Ping'an's longing appearance, somehow, he blurted out, "Just say it, the old man will definitely do it." β
The children can be taught!
No, it's an old man who can teach!
Jia Ping'an said: "Can you know Huazhou? β
Xu Jingzong nodded, "The old man in Huazhou still knows something, population, education, and cultivated land......"
"Anything you can know isn't helpful." Jia Ping'an said calmly: "I traveled around Huazhou this time, saw the difficulties of the people, and also saw the heritage of Huazhou...... What a difference! β
Xu Jingzong was unconsciously attracted, "Say it quickly!" β
"Do you know how much bamboo there is in Huazhou?"
"Yes." Xu Jingzong said: "There are many mountains in Huazhou, and the terrain is convenient for bamboo growth. β
"There are a lot of bamboos, but no one cares where they grow, it's really a tyrannical thing!" Jia Ping'an said bitterly: "When I saw that piece of bamboo sea, it was really heartbreaking!" β
Belch!
Xu Jingzong didn't know what Jia Ping'an was crazy about, so he said: "There are too many bamboos, what do you feel heartache?" β
"There is not much arable land in Huazhou, and there is no money for education, so if you want to make merits, you can only take the ordinary road, this is a certain saying." Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu really had no vision, "But what about bamboo?" β
Xu Jingzong wondered, "What can bamboo be used for?" Burning bamboo charcoal? β
"Hey!" This mallet, Jia Ping'an said: "This time in the farmhouse, I saw many people using bamboo chips to weave bamboo utensils, making you, this is a merit!" β
"This ......" Xu Jingzong was puzzled, "The old man of bamboo weaving knows that there are everywhere!" β
"Is there so much bamboo in Huazhou anywhere else?" Jia Ping'an felt that it was too difficult to train a traitor into a virtuous minister, "Huazhou's bamboo is better than other places, and the most important thing is that there are many people in Huazhou who can weave bamboo, which is the right time and place, if you have this advantage in the poor, this thorn history is a pig!" β
He said it heartily, and after he finished speaking, he found that Xu Jingzong looked constipated on the side, so he smiled dryly: "I said that the predecessor was assassinated." β
Saying that Thorn Shi is a pig in front of Lao Xu is no different from saying it is black in front of a pig.
Xu Jingzong muttered: "What a pig, that's a pig." β
He is highly educated, and he naturally habitually wants to correct the mistakes in Jia Ping'an's words, but after correcting them, he finds that he has earned himself the title of pig.
"The old man is not a pig."
"Yes, the envoy is not."
"The old man is really not."
"Yes, the envoy is not."
"You ......"
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but Jia Ping'an leaned in uneasily, for fear that Lao Xu would be mad.
But Lao Xu sighed, "The old man should be ashamed and brave, but bamboo weaving is useless, you just made this trip?" The old man...... Let's think of another way, the old man. β
Lao Xu is really good, especially for his own people.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "Envoy, it is naturally useless for one person to make bamboo weaving, but what if it is a hundred or a thousand people?" β
Xu Jingzong was stunned, "Yes! If so many people do it, everyone can make money......"
"This matter still needs to mobilize the people." Jia Ping'an arched his hand and said: "It will fall on the envoy." β
Since he wants to train Lao Xu, a traitor, he naturally can't do everything on his behalf, and he has to let Lao Xu have subjective initiative.
Lao Xu thought of that beautiful scenery, and couldn't help but praise: "What a Jia Ping'an, he is really the old man's brainstorm!" β
Brains?
Hehe!
Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu really thought too highly of himself.
But that's okay, Lao Xu fantasizes about treating him as a think tank, he regards Lao Xu as a shield, and when they are different in the future, they can still become allies.
If you want to say that there are people from the gate valve family, you can also make friends, but you are wrong. It's not that the people of the gate valve family say it's bad, but it's too good. But in their eyes, Jia Ping'an, the broom star, is naturally a disgusting existence, and he is still a farmer, so the two sides probably have no chance to become friends.
Jia Ping'an slandered those people from the gate valve family, and then he was in a happy mood.
And Xu Jingzong went straight to the state government and instructed: "Let the people everywhere learn bamboo weaving, and they must do it!" β
The officials looked confused...... felt that Lao Xu was pumping again.
It's true that Assassin Shi is a governor, and it's not wrong that Assassin Shi governs, but such an abrupt decree makes people very confused.
An official said, "Envoy, the people should be left to do this by themselves, right?" β
At this time, the so-called rule of inaction is to harass the people less, and the decree of such a guy to involve the people of a state is really shocking.
"Yes! Envoy, what if you can't sell it? "That's the big problem.
Xu Jingzong said with great ambition: "How many people is Chang'an City?" Still worried about not being able to sell? Just go! β
Liao Quan said: "If you are far-sighted, you will definitely be able to benefit Huazhou." β
Xu Jingzong's eyes swept over his subordinates, and when he saw that several officials had slightly cold faces, he sneered, and when he saw that the new Sima Yuwen was still smiling humbly, he felt that this person was also interesting.
So the decree was issued.
But within a few days, the feedback was so angry that Lao Xu wanted to vomit blood.
"Envoy, the people everywhere have said that they will not dare to do it unless the state can guarantee the payment and collection."
Xu Jingzong was angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that such thoughts were understandable.
The people are poor, you let them make bamboo weaving to take time, but also have to buy bamboo weaving tools, as well as the cost of learning bamboo weaving, if you can't see the benefits, who dares to do?
Xu Jingzong hurriedly went to find Jia Ping'an.
"Don't want to?" Jia Ping'an was very relieved, and felt that at least the people were not stupid.
"The people are unwilling, and the old man is helpless!" Xu Jingzong felt that this road was probably going to be broken.
"Do you dare to break the boat?" Jia Ping'an tempted again.
"What do you mean?" Xu Jingzong's eyes were blazing.
"Go find the money." Jia Ping'an said firmly: "If you want to do great things, you can't spare yourself!" β
Lao Xu said in a low voice: "Are you sure?" β
There were more bloodshots in his eyes, which showed that there was a lot of pressure.
"Yes!" How can Jia Ping'an do things in waves? "There are a lot of wooden utensils in the market in Huazhou, and the prices are not cheap and heavy. If you use bamboo instead, the price is cheap, and it is lightweight. Other than that...... Many things can be woven out of bamboo chips, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, what kind of business is this? But no one in Datang is paying attention to this at present, so it's time to wait! β
Xu Jingzong's eyes were red, and he snorted, obviously excited by Jia Ping'an.
I'm excited!
Jia Ping'an came up with an idea, "Your Highness can go and ask for it, and in addition, can you know how to become famous?" β
Xu Jingzong shook his head, he is famous, but he is notorious, and everyone in the world says that he is a traitor.
"If you want to make a good name, then this matter is an opportunity......"
"Say it." Xu Jingzong felt as if he was walking towards glory step by step, and it was like walking towards the big pit step by step.
"If you can sell your property...... That fame. β
β¦β¦
Xu Jingzong returned to Beijing, and just a few days after the enthronement ceremony, he asked to see Li Zhi.
"Xu Qing has worked hard." Li Zhi felt that he had wronged him, so he comforted him softly.
"Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong saluted, raised his head, and said with relief: "Your Majesty has more spirit and more energy than the minister saw last time...... The indescribable rhyme, the minister feels, this is the dragon qi. As soon as he got closer, he felt energetic, and even his fatigue dissipated. β
Ay! It's still a loyal dog's sycophant!
Li Zhi felt very comfortable, "You have a good life in Huazhou, and if you have any difficulties, just tell me." β
This is the emperor's clichΓ© to his courtiers, and no one will take it seriously.
"Your Majesty......"
But Xu Jingzong knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "The minister is poor! β
β¦β¦
Lao Xu shouted with tears in his eyes: "Readers, my old Xu ...... Poor! Look at the recommended ticket, it's miserable and can't see it. Those book friends don't know where to go, sad ...... It's so spicy! β
