Chapter 109: What a big fortune
"Look at that person, why do you think it's a green-haired monster, but if you look closely, you can see that it's a Tian Shelang with a straw bag on his face, just like that, the person who sent it can't see where to go."
Where has Cai Ming ever seen such a big scene? If it weren't for the sake of Bo Yiyi, he would have been scared away a long time ago. Even so, his humiliating appearance made him suffer a lot of ridicule.
"What do you know? My injury was inflicted by Uncle Chang. He was afraid that my daughter would be favored after entering the palace, and my family would be richer than his family at that time, so he beat me like this. ”
"Hahaha......"
As soon as these words came out, some people laughed and said: "Is it a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as Xi Shi and is more beautiful than Bao Ji?" Otherwise, how dare you say such a thing! ”
"Really, Master Hou was told that he broke his heart, and said a poem angrily, and then left in a hurry. What's it called? There is, sixteen brides and sixty langs, with gray hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear flower presses the begonia. ”
Cai Ming has never read a book, but he has a very good memory, and he memorized the whole poem after listening to it once, and read it out loud on the spot.
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was silent, not everyone was as unlearned as he was, and when he heard the ridicule in the poem, some scholars immediately led their own women to hide their faces and fled.
The lethality is too great, if they say anything about greed for vanity and selling women for officials, they may laugh, but this poem satirizes the parties, no matter who is chosen, this poem will accompany Li Yuan and the other protagonist to laugh at future generations.
Except for faceless and skinless people, few ordinary people really deserve such ridicule. Quietly, most of the people in the court bureau are less, and most of the remaining people are uninformed or illiterate.
Cai Ming looked at fewer and fewer people, and was overjoyed, the fewer people there are, the greater the chance for his daughter, this is a good thing!
Tang Yi didn't understand Cai Cong's anger, in the eyes of people in this era, this is a normal thing, why is Cai Cong so angry? However, he didn't dare to ask, carrying a small box on his back, and walked behind Cai Cong.
"What are you thinking?" Cai Cong suddenly stopped holding an umbrella and asked.
"It's nothing, I just don't know why you were so angry just now, sending the women of the family to the palace, this is a normal thing!"
Cai Cong suddenly asked, and Tang Yi replied without thinking. This question is not only what he thinks, but almost all of Datang thinks so, looking at Datang, how many people send women to the palace in exchange for wealth, even if they are ridiculed.
"Tang Yi, do you also think this is a big fortune? Your family has been scholarly for generations, and your grandfather is as good as Songyue, even if I keep you by my side today, I hope that one day you can reorganize your family style, your grandfather is a scholar, so I hope you lose this idea of embarrassing him. ”
"Master Hou, the little one doesn't understand." Tang Yi said gratefully, he knew that Cai Cong would keep him because he respected his grandfather's character, but he was also clever, and he didn't have a child's cowering, so he asked if he didn't understand.
"You're right, the whole Tang Dynasty thinks it's a great honor for a little girl to marry the royal family, but they haven't thought about what kind of life this girl wants to live, I can tell you that it's not much better than death.
To be a man, you can't follow the crowd, at least you have to have your own ideas. It's not that the world says it's right, it's all right, have you ever thought that maybe the world is wrong, only you are right? Everyone is drunk and I am sober, you must dare to have this kind of thought, otherwise you will only end up in the public. ”
Cai Cong looked at the river in front of him and said leisurely, it has been almost a year since he came to Datang from this place, and he is becoming more and more hesitant about whether he should be in the public or in pain alone.
"Master Hou, the little one doesn't understand very well, what do I have to do to know if I'm right? Does being too confident become conceited? ”
"Very good, I didn't blindly flatter because I was a Hou Ye, but upheld my own ideas, which is right. As for whether you are right, you have to ask yourself, and your marquis doesn't know if he is right now. ”
After Cai Cong finished speaking, Tang Yi looked dazed, these words were too profound for him, and he really didn't understand.
"Xu Jie, how are those boats built?"
Xu Jie was also pondering, and when he heard Cai Cong's words, he hurriedly said: "Five hundred ships have been built, and they are still being built in a hurry, but this rain has not ended, and the wood has not been dried, so it can only be roasted with fire, I am afraid that there will be problems at that time."
"Tell them that the boat must be built on time, but the quality must also be guaranteed. If there is a little mistake, not only will it delay and save people, but even his own brothers will get in. ”
"The little one knows, but we're afraid that we don't have much time, the rain in the whole Guanzhong is endless, and the embankments in many places are higher and higher, but the water level has been rising, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later there will be times when it can't be supported."
Xu Jie said worriedly, he had brought his family to live near the academy, and when the flood was raging, those low-lying places in Guanzhong would become Zeguo.
"Didn't you tell them that it was better to block than to sparse? Is it because you didn't talk about the place, or did the place not listen to it? Cai Cong was immediately unhappy, when Dayu and his father blocked and blocked, he put his life on the line, can't these people take history as a mirror?
"Master Hou, you are wrong this time, it's not that we didn't say it, it's not that the place didn't listen, but it can't be evacuated, how many people live near the river? How much fertile land there is, many people are not willing to move it at all, or do not believe that there will be a big flood, and they are not willing to move it.
If the flood is channeled, I don't know how many people will die in the belly of the fish. These officials are now working very hard, some are afraid of death and directly resigned and ran away, and some are upright nailed to the embankment day and night, and they dare not leave at all. The most infuriating thing is those officials who diverted the water to the people's fields in order to keep the honorable fields, but fortunately they drove the people away in advance, otherwise the consequences would be worrying. These people should have been killed. ”
"No matter what era, there are always such and such officials, Your Majesty can't rub sand in his eyes, they can't jump for long."
"But these people, whether to the officials or to the people, said that you made them do this, and they all poured money and destroyed their bones! They're trying to push you into a place of no return."
Xu Jie said angrily and helplessly, it was indeed Cai Cong who said that it was better to block than to sparse, but he never asked them to release water and flood the people's land.
"No problem, these people go to great lengths to slander me, so that I know if I am doing the right thing, and when the day comes when the world will be famous, you will find that these people are paving the way for me."
Cai Cong said lightly, but the pressure in his heart has not disappeared for a moment, how powerful are these enemies? He constantly raised the threat of these people. But they always find that they are more terrible than they think.
Just when Xu Jie and the others looked at Cai Cong with admiration, Cai Cong suddenly asked, "Don't talk about this, how are you and Dongzhu?"
"Huh? Master Hou, I don't know what you're talking about! I have nothing to do with Fuyutake. Xu Jie's face turned red and said in a panic.
"Don't know? That's the case, there is a little guy in the house who loves Dongzhu very much, and this marquis also has the beauty of an adult, since you have nothing, I plan to marry Dongzhu to him. ”
