"Your Majesty, the dog is still very young, is it a bit heavy to say these words today?"

Mu Gong glanced at Li Xun, who walked out of the hall, and whispered to Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi shook his head and said lightly: "What is still young, after this year, he will be twenty-one, I am at his age, I have experienced many things than him, I said so much today, just let him understand, don't feel that you have been on the battlefield a few times, you can be arrogant, I just want to give him a tight spell, he has scruples in his heart, I can rest assured to put him to the west, so as not to be outside, thinking that no one can take care of him, do things without scruples, once he causes something big, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect him when the time comes. ”

"Your Majesty still thinks far, and the old slave is far behind."

Mu Gong nodded, chuckled and slapped him on the back.

Zhao Zhi smiled, his personality was a little gloomy, Zhao Zhi himself knew, the emperor who had sat for more than 20 years, until now, few people dared to say those flattering words in front of him, but Mu Gong occasionally dared to say a few words, maybe Mu Gong had been with him for so many years, and some emotional factors were in it, for his sycophant, Zhao Zhi was quite useful, and in people's hearts, sometimes it was so strange.

...............

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was still the old rule, Li Mancang and Li Xun, father and son, took Xiaolian and Jiang Daxiong and Da Hei Erhei and other five or six subordinates to the suburban grange, accompanied by Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi and their families.

Li Mancang actually doesn't like life in the capital, and he has to be careful in everything he does, for fear of causing trouble.

In May of the third year of Chengping, Li Mancang went shopping on the street, quarreled with the vendors, and was furious, and there was some pushing and shoving with this person, but there was no fight, but even so, the matter immediately reached the ears of many people, and immediately several imperial historians jointly played, participating in the impeachment of Li Mancang for bullying and oppressing the good people, flying and domineering, Li Mancang did not even have a chance to defend, that is, he was strictly ordered by Zhao Zhi to be grounded for one month and fined for half a year, although afterwards, Zhao Zhi learned the truth of the matter from Li Mancang's mouth and gave him some rewards, which was offset, But Li Mancang still felt aggrieved and aggrieved, and since then, he has started to live in Fengjing in the first half of each month, and in the second half of the month, he will go to live in a grange in the suburbs, and he will live leisurely.

The arrival of Li Mancang and others was naturally warmly welcomed by thousands of people in the entire grange, and from the sincere and enthusiastic faces of these people, it can be seen that their respect for Li Mancang and his son is sincere.

In the past 100 years, the Great Jin Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters, the financial state of the imperial court is not good, and its taxes are naturally very heavy, generally eight taxes and one, or even five taxes and one, and Li Mancang set the tax for the Grange, which is decreasing year by year, and now it is thirty taxes and one, and the taxes in the disaster year are completely exempt, for these people in the grange, to be able to meet Li Mancang such a proprietor, that is really a blessing for eight lifetimes, compared to the outside world, they are really living very well, at least no longer worry about not having enough to eat, every festival, They can even have surplus money to buy some wine and meat, and this kind of life is tantamount to heaven for them.

"Uncle Li has an auspicious New Year."

"Happy New Year, Master Hou."

"New Year's Blessings for the Proprietor."

Everyone shouted enthusiastically, calling everything, obviously everyone knows that their proprietor has a good personality, and he doesn't need to be so serious and polite.

"Hello everyone, Happy New Year, everyone."

Li Mancang kept arching his hands, his face was full of bright smiles, he used to be the lowest level of society, seeing these people, he would not have any contempt and alienation, but had closeness and familiarity.

Da Hei drove a carriage full of copper coins, and Li Xun, Jiang Daxiong and others kept taking out copper coins and giving everyone so many tens of dollars, not much money, that's what it means.

Li Xun came to the back of the team, a group of people stood there, led by Yu Guang, over the years, this grange has been handed over to him to manage, the management is very good, the people of the grange also know the relationship between Yu Guang and Li Xun, of course they are quite in awe of him, obey the management.

"Li Gongzi, Happy New Year!"

A man in his forties and fifties crowded in front with a large group of people, rubbing his hands, hunching his waist, and saying with a smile on his face.

Li Xun looked at them, this group of people was Xiaolian's group of relatives, and the oldest man at the head was Xiaolian's own uncle.

Li Xun nodded, chuckled and said hello: "Uncle Sha is still healthy?" ”

Xiaolian's maiden name is Sha, and his uncle is called Sha Yubao.

Sha Yubao smiled and said: "Okay, good, thanks to Li Gongzi's blessing, you can eat and drink here, and you don't have to worry about anything." ”

At this time, Li Mancang walked by, Sha Yubao hurriedly greeted him, Li Mancang glanced at him, nodded, mumbled, and walked away directly.

Li Mancang didn't treat Sha Yubao and their family very well, or didn't want to have any close relationship with them, Li Mancang's original meaning was to give them some money and let them leave by themselves, if it weren't for Xiaolian's face, and Li Xun's intercession, it would be impossible to keep them here, let alone not charge them a trace of taxes, it was hundreds of acres of land, Li Mancang once said to Xiaolian tactfully, whether she was with Li Xun in the future or not, these hundreds of acres of land, in the next few years, are ready to be given to her uncle's family.

Looking at Sha Yubao's somewhat embarrassed face, Li Xun shook his head, he didn't expect the old man to hold a grudge, in the early years, Sha Yubao had verbally insulted Li Mancang, and after so many years, Li Mancang still held a grudge.

Li Xun touched it in his arms, but he didn't bring the silver ticket with him, so he had to say to Yu Guang: "From the account room in the Zhuangzi, I raised twenty taels of silver to Uncle Sha, which is considered my filial piety to his old man." ”

Yu Guang nodded: "Got it, I'll arrange it afterwards." ”

Sha Yubao's family was overjoyed, bowed and thanked him again and again, and Xiaolian stepped forward and pulled her uncle's family away.

By Yu Guang's side, his wife is holding a month-old child, a daughter.

Li Xun walked over, hugged the child, kissed it a few times, and then smiled at Yu Guang: "Let her be my goddaughter, how about it?" ”

Yu Guang smiled and said, "Then my daughter is blessed!" ”

Li Xun took out a jade pendant from his arms and brought it to the child.

Yu Guang glanced at the jade pendant, which was worth a lot of money at a glance, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Gou'er, your gift is a bit heavy." ”

Li Xun smiled and didn't say anything.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xun's family stayed in the Grange for a whole day.

Early the next morning, Li Xun and others rushed back to Fengjing, and the people in the mansion, had a New Year's dinner together, and in the afternoon they wanted to rest and take a nap, but the Qi Wangfu was unexpectedly coming, and Zhao Xun asked Li Xun to go over.
