Qi Yun resisted the urge to slap this guy to death, does this guy have a problem with his brain, does he not understand human words?

"Brother Liu, the junior brother has never said that Liu Yuanwai is a member of the White Lotus Sect, and I said that your Liu family has a lot to do with this matter, because about sixty percent of the shops looted by the White Lotus Sect in this attack on Jinling City are your Liu family's property."

"Oh, isn't that the Liu family's property?" Liu Mingzhi said casually, and then reacted: "What's the matter, the Liu family's industry, isn't that my family's industry, sixty percent?" That's a lot of money. ”

Liu Mingzhi suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if a piece of meat was suddenly gone, and the money would be all from the master in the future, so it was robbed?

"Xiao Song, hold the young master for a while, the young master is a little dizzy."

Liu Song hurriedly supported Liu Mingzhi, and carefully gave Liu Mingzhi a good breath: "Young master, don't worry about things at home, the master has been crisscrossing Jinling for decades, and some small people of the White Lotus Sect are just a drop in the bucket to deal with the master's property looting in Jinling, so the young master can rest assured that it will be fine." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Song was more like a rich young master than Liu Mingzhi, he didn't care about small things that he had gained or lost, and he had a feeling that everything was in the hands of his son.

If Liu Song patted Liu Mingzhi's shoulder and said softly: "Young Master, don't worry, everything is under Xiao Song's control, and some small bandits can't make any waves." I'm afraid that Liu Mingzhi will be able to worship on the spot. ”

It's a pity that Liu Song is a scholar, no matter how powerful the scholar is, he is still a scholar of the Liu family, and no matter how powerful his knowledge is, he can't be as powerful as Liu Zhi'an.

After Liu Zhian heard that his family's shop had been attacked by the White Lotus Sect, the first thing he asked was whether anyone was injured, or something more serious, something fatal.

The butler replied that he had only lost some silver, and that the people in the shop had not been harmed.

Liu Zhi'an calmly asked how many taels of silver had been lost by all the shops, and the old housekeeper carefully handed over the account book, which clearly recorded the losses of each shop of the Liu family in Jinling, totaling more than 60,000 taels of silver.

After Liu Zhi'an carefully checked, he said nonchalantly: "As long as there is no shop owner who seeks to take silver from it privately, he will be robbed if he is robbed, and no one can stop the natural and man-made disasters. ”

Is 60,000 taels of silver a lot? A lot, many people can't earn back the silver in their lifetime, of course Liu Zhi'an is heartbroken, but Liu Zhi'an understands that the heartache to death will still not come back, and now appeasing people's hearts is the most important thing, as long as people's hearts are stable, the Liu family will be fine, silver! I'll earn it back.

"Brother Liu, the younger brother didn't say this for no purpose, the matter of the White Lotus Sect bandits is no longer a matter of the imperial court, it should be said that it is not just a matter of the court, these people are haunted, demagogic everywhere, claiming that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus can show miracles, many people have been fascinated by their demagoguery, and Lord Assassin Shi has sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times without success, and there are households to ventilate them."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun curiously with panda eyes: "Brother Qi is a person?" ”

"The younger brother is stupid, and he hasn't made a name for himself yet."

Qi Yun didn't know why Liu Mingzhi would ask such a strange question, what did the White Lotus Sect's invasion of Jinling, which was heavily guarded by the Great Dragon Dynasty, have anything to do with whether he is a lifter.

"So Brother Qi is a talent showman?"

"Naturally not, the younger brother has never been admitted to show his fame."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun with a confused face strangely: "Since you don't have a fame, what do you do with those idle things when you are full, under the problem of the White Lotus Sect bandits, there is Qi Thorn Shi who works hard, and there are today's saints who work hard, you are a white body with the emperor's heart, aren't you tired?" ”

Qi Yun's face became ugly: "My generation of scholars should sacrifice their lives........"

"Stop, Brother Qi, call you a little brother for your brother, little brother, you have the heart to serve the country, this is a blessing for the country, I admire you very much, but there is a sentence for my brother You listen, as the so-called people are over a hundred, all kinds of things, your thoughts are not the thoughts of the world's scholars, Brother Qi thinks how many scholars really study to serve the country and not to get ahead?"

Qi Yun looked at Liu Mingzhi with some complexity, thinking about Liu Mingzhi's words, which were obviously contrary to the theories he had been exposed to since childhood, why did he feel so correct.

"Brother Qi, some things are not based on words, but by doing, by action. It is useless to say that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic a thousand times a day, and to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country 10,000 times, these are useless, you only say but do not do it, talk eloquently every day, criticize this scholar, despise that rich child, day after day, isn't it still empty talk? ”

"If you don't even have the belief to serve the country, isn't it even more ridiculous and generous?"

Liu Mingzhi sighed, knowing that Qi Yun was a preconceived notion that could not be easily changed, and Liu Mingzhi's eyes lit up when he saw some people who were farming on the side of the road.

Liu Mingzhi pointed to the people who were working: "Brother Qi, look. I don't think I've heard of these laborers saying that they are loyal to the king, but the grain they grow fills the treasury. My father was a businessman, a person despised by the world's scholars, and my father and other businessmen never put their loyalty and patriotism on their lips, but my father's annual tax could feed 30,000 soldiers to resist the attack of the Jin Kingdom. Scholars are talking every day about serving the country and benefiting the people, what do they do when they read or study? ”

Qi Yun's face was a little sad, Liu Mingzhi's words were obviously apostasy, but there was no place to refute it.

"It's one thing to know, it's another thing to act, and the unity of knowledge and action is the general trend of the world." Liu Mingzhi said this lightly.

Qi Yun suddenly felt that there was a faint glow on Liu Mingzhi's body.

Oh, who is pretending to be so dazzling!
