Chapter 102: A Little Hand Missed
Li Chengqian was a little confused, can he have one more Xiongcheng in a month?
Li Shimin is a little regretful, his eldest son is not so good, not to mention compared with Wang Chouniu, even compared with Qingque, he is a little less intelligent. Li Chengqian lowered his head, completely ignoring the disappointment that flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Looking at the demeanor of his eldest son, Li Shimin suddenly became a little tired, perhaps a little disappointed, and after chatting with Li Chengqian, he asked him to go back to the East Palace. Li Shimin sighed, Li Chengqian met all the conditions! The first succession of the throne of the Tang Dynasty has already been bloody, and he can't make such a head again!
......
Early the next morning, Cheng Chumo wanted to see how Su Bai usually worked, Su Bai was a little embarrassed, could he tell him that he usually wrote the script in the back hall, and then discussed with the cook what to eat at noon? Wouldn't that make him see himself clearly?
Su Bai coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Usually this official is busy with official business, but because you are here, of course I have to accompany you well, and I will shirk these official duties", Cheng Chumo asked curiously: "Have you cracked any big cases in the county?" Su Bai coughed lightly and said, "When, of course, such as Erzhi Mountain!" That's right, aren't the bandits in Erzhi Mountain the ones we exterminated?"
Cheng Chumo dragged his chin, and his cute posture made him extremely cold, "Ugly cow, there are no bandits nearby, I'll help you exterminate them, the credit belongs to you, I'm too bored all day", Su Bai shook his head, there is such a gang of bandits nearby, this place is so close to Chang'an, who is tired and crooked and dares to come here to be a bandit? Don't you see what Wang Erzhi has become?
Datang has no video games, no mobile phones and computers, and there are not too many entertainment activities, it is indeed quite boring, Su Bai thought about it, what entertainment projects are there? Billiards? Now it takes too much time to polish out the ball, and the table top is flat and level. Mahjong? It's okay, but I know the rules, and I've never played it in my previous life. Su Bai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any reliable entertainment projects.
In the end, I could only ask Cheng Chumo: "Then what entertainment do you usually have when you are at home?" Cheng Chu said listlessly: "Eat, practice martial arts, beat my brother", Su Bai had a black line on his forehead, and silently mourned for Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, and he patted Su Bai on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, we can practice!" The last time we competed was a few months ago, come on, let's have a good fight! ”。 Su Bai pointed to the door and said, "I don't plan to let them know that I can do kung fu", Cheng Chu was puzzled: "Why?" What's so bad about knowing kung fu? Su Bai yawned and said, "It's always right to be a man and keep a little backhand."
Cheng Chumo nodded, this is true, and then he said a little unwillingly: "You can't compete, then let's break our wrists", Su Bai leaked a mouthful of beautiful little white teeth and said: "It's okay to compete, can't we have a little color", Cheng Chumo said indifferently: "Okay, you say, what color do you want?" Su Bai's eyes swept the mutton fat jade on his waist and said, "I think your jade pendant is good."
Cheng Chumo laughed twice, I really don't know if this is the tradition of the old Cheng family, you must laugh twice before speaking, otherwise it seems that there is no momentum. Cheng Chu tacitly explained the jade pendant and put it on the table and said, "If you have the ability, come and get it!" If you lose, I don't want anything else, just do that rib again yesterday! ”。 Su Bai nodded and smiled: "Give you a little show?" ”。
Cheng Chumo had a question mark on his face, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of small show?" Su Bai walked to the phoenix wings with a smile, picked up the big boring with one hand, and said with a smile: "How about you look at my little show?" ”。
Cheng Chumo's mouth was about to be out of touch, and he stretched out his hand to point at Su Bai and wanted to say something, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence, and bursts of meaningless syllables came out of his mouth.
Gently put the big boring back in place, walked to Cheng Chumo, closed the lower for him, smiled and picked up the jade pendant on the table and played: "How is it?" Is it better than that? Cheng Chumo still hadn't come back to his senses, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion.
Su Bai stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and shook it, but there was still no response, Su Bai casually bounced a brain melon, and saw Cheng Chumo's forehead, which was visibly red to the naked eye, Cheng Chumo screamed, and the frightened part of the door rushed in directly.
"Little grandfather!"
"It's okay, I'm fine, let's play, you guys go out"
"Yes!" The guards looked left and right to confirm that Cheng Chumo was okay before retreating, of course they couldn't see that Cheng Chumo had already picked up a small bag where he covered it with his hand.
After the guards went out, Cheng Chumo lightly pressed his forehead, inhaled cold air in pain, and said with a look of surprise: "Ugly cow, you, you, how did you pick it up?" Su Bai smiled, pretending to be profound: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."
Cheng Chumo was willing to listen, and he tried to lift it in front of the big boring, but of course he didn't lift it, and looked back at Su Bai with a longing face: "Ugly cow, have you practiced any internal skills?" No way, no matter how powerful the internal strength is, it is impossible to make such great progress in such a short period of time." Su Bai crossed his hands on his hips and said: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, okay, don't pretend, it's a showdown, I'm a genius!" Hahahaha, did you hear clearly, genius! ”
The corners of Cheng Chumo's eyes twitched fiercely, looking at his fist, weighing whether to challenge it, maybe the sneak attack could kill him with one punch? It's infuriating!
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "If you are really a genius, why didn't you find out in the previous competition?" Su Bai coughed lightly and said: "Before, I didn't want to worry about you, if I was serious, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to stop me with a punch!" ”。
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes, and he didn't know who let him scream in the first place! Cheng Chumo looked Su Bai up and down and said: "You have this kind of talent, it's a pity not to be a general, if you train for two years, you will definitely be the same as my father, a fierce general with ten thousand enemies."
Your dad? Old Cheng? 10,000 enemies? Who told you, I know, it must have been Cheng Yanjin himself, right?
may have seen the meaning of Su Bai's eyes, Cheng Chumo's face was as usual, and he didn't feel sorry at all, maybe Lao Cheng had taught him this way since he was a child, so that now he himself is convinced.
Cheng Chumo sighed and said: "That's right, it's the county order that Your Majesty rewards you today, even if you want to be a military general, you can't do it."
Su Bai shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a military general", Cheng Chumo's expression froze directly on his face, and he said in disbelief: "What? ”
"I said I didn't want to be a general"
"Why!"
Cheng Chumo obviously can't accept this statement, being a military general, becoming a father-like figure is his own dream, Su Bai has this kind of talent and doesn't want to be a military general?
"I'm afraid of death!" Su Bai's answer was very straightforward, and he was stupid to listen to Cheng Chu, this, this, how could there be such a person, don't literati regard reputation as more important than life? How did this come out of such a soft egg?
Su Bai stretched his waist and said: "Besides, there is no shortage of generals in the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, Uncle Niu, Uncle Wei Chi, that is not a good man?" I won't need it."
"But, but"
Cheng Chumo seemed to be planning to say something to persuade Su Bai, but he didn't find suitable words for a while.
"It's nothing, it's good for me to be a county magistrate, my only dream now is to let the people under my rule smile every day, go home at night and have a hot meal, there is surplus food in the tank for the next few days, and tomorrow I don't have to worry about my livelihood, as long as I am willing to work, I can earn money." The next step is to wait for the county to become richer, so I plan to go to Chang'an to hire some teachers and open a branch of "Mingde College" in Juxian County, without charging a penny, so that the children can have a chance to change their fate in the future, so that they will not lose hope at all."
Cheng Chumo was a little stupid and a little incomprehensible: "But, how can these be compared with the battlefield battle?" Husband, of course I'm going to the battlefield! Su Bai smiled and shook his head.
"Silence, existence is reasonable, someone goes to the battlefield, someone has to be in charge of logistics, responsible for grain and grass, where does the grain and grass come from? From the people, the cost of grain and grass is the people's usual tax money, and what I can do is to let the country have more taxes, and let the people live better! Only when the people are rich can the country become rich, and the first step that a strong empire needs to do is to hide the wealth from the people."
Cheng Chumo's head was big, he couldn't understand what Su Bai meant, but subconsciously felt that what Su Bai said was very reasonable.
Su Bai continued: "Raising pigs, now after my method, pigs can grow to 200 catties in six months, I can say responsibly that I am confident that in the next ten years, pork will become the main source of meat for Datang!" And I have also mastered a method of long-term preservation of food, as long as the conditions allow, it is not impossible to keep it for more than a year, this method can be used for military ration production, and it can also be used for civilian food storage."
The more Su Bai spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became louder unconsciously, and he said excitedly: "I call it 'canned' With enough food, there will be no famine in my Datang, and there will be countless living people, which one do you think is more important than war?" ”
Cheng Chumo was a little stupid, he didn't expect Su Bai to have these plans, yes, there is no famine among the people, compared to war, of course it is too important, but that can really have such a big effect? He knew that canned food was only a small aspect, and the most important thing was the ten pots of potatoes in Su Bai's hand!
Su Bai said with a smile: "When there is no famine in my Tang Dynasty, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, even if it is a big war!" We also have enough money to support! That's what I'm aiming for in the future! ”
