Chapter 80: Who cares about the turmoil

As expected, Yuwen Hu was amazed after reading this strategy, "I didn't expect Qingqiang to have such an opinion on political affairs, how did you come up with this?" ”

"These days, when Qingqiang went out of the palace, she often saw some slaves being bullied on the street, and she couldn't bear it for a while, so she went to investigate. I found that these slaves worked unpaid on the property of the nobility, and did not belong to the common people, so they did not have to pay taxes, which was really not conducive to the long-term development of the country. At the same time as the investigation, Qingqiang also learned about some of the situation of the nearby farmers, thought about it, and couldn't bear to see the difficult situation of the people of Dazhou, so he wrote down some of his own micro opinions, hoping that Otsuka Zai could help them get out of the predicament. ”

Seeing that Yuwen Hu was still pondering and did not express his position, I continued to lobby, "Actually, Qingqiang's proposal to pay a light salary and free the slaves is because of compassion for the suffering people, and there is another reason, it is because of Otsuka Zai. ”

"Oh, because of the widow?" Yuwen Wu was aroused.

"Some of Otsuka's relied on ministers, relying on Otsuka's love, connived at their family members to behave in the people, and the people have aroused public resentment, and the most hateful thing is that Otsuka's reputation has also been damaged. If Otsuka can carry out some political actions that benefit the people, I believe that he can save Otsuka's reputation and win the hearts of the people for Otsuka. ”

Speaking of the people's hearts, Yuwen Hu was quite moved, and he still covered up on his face: "Who are the people who are doing nonsense in the name of widows? ”

"The two sons of Chi Luoxie and Feng Qian's family often bully the old and weak in the market, bully people's shops and fields, and rob people's daughters." I deliberately inquired about these, "The day before, Luo Jin of the Luo family was still teasing me on the street, but fortunately I ran fast, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Yuwen Hu said angrily: "There is such a thing, what a bastard!" Another day, the widow will go to the general's mansion, reprimand him well, and seek justice for you! ”

"Thank you Zai Otsuka."

Yuwen Hu's face showed a hint of a smile, "Your proposal is very good, the widow will find a few ministers to discuss this matter, formulate relevant strategies, and definitely report this matter to Your Majesty." ”

I was still not at ease, and added: "The release of the slaves will touch the interests of some people, and I hope Otsuka will pay more attention." Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu issued an edict nine times to free the slaves, which shows that this matter is arduous. As soon as the edict is issued, some officials are resistant, and may not be effective in implementing it, passively slack, or unwilling to implement it, and the edict becomes a dead letter. Otsuka Jae needs to send some effective people to various places to supervise the implementation, and if necessary, he needs to use some thunderous means to ensure that the imperial decree is implemented. ”

"Qingqiang is really careful, and thinks so well for the widow, the widow will be ashamed of himself."

Men don't like women to be too prominent, so I hurriedly said: "Where, Qingqiang will still rely on Otsuka Zai in the future, the poison on Qingqiang's body, can Otsuka Zai have a way to solve it?" ”

Yuwen Hu smiled: "Don't worry, the widow is looking for a famous doctor for you, I believe there will be news soon." ”

I feigned nervousness, "Then I'll leave everything to Otsuka." ”

When I came out of Tsukazaifu, my heart was filled with joy, as if I had accomplished something very remarkable. In the past, I always wanted to protect myself, because I was afraid of getting into trouble, and I turned a blind eye to those who needed help, thinking that it would be good to be able to save my own life in this world, let alone help others.

I thought I would probably live my life with this belief. However, I met the man who was on the boat giving a to a woman I didn't know; knew her heavy past and deliberately enlightened her; sing for her on her birthday night; did everything to keep Yijian Pavilion, just for a group of street children who have nothing to do with it......

His warmth and generosity, his chivalrous heart, shook me, changed my mind, and made me understand that people can't be so indifferent, they can't just think about themselves. The word kindness is not so difficult to do, the key depends on whether you want to do it or not, and whether you have the heart to do it. If you want to do it, you can do it.

What a joy it is for a person to be able to help others. Helping those people is like saving the lonely and hopeless self at the beginning. In fact, being able to help others proves that you are still very capable. I am not a dispensable person, but an important person who can help change the fate of others.

It won't be long before those who live in torment, slaves, peasant households, they can be freed and start a new life. I suddenly wanted to see Mo Ziwei, and if he knew about it, he would be very happy.

Stepping through a cool and lush bamboo forest, the bamboo fence on the periphery of the small bamboo house is open, and you walk along the middle stone road. Next to the door under the eaves, there is a bookcase, Mo Ziwu is sitting next to the desk with his sleeves down, bowing his head and holding a pen to write something, very seriously.

I couldn't bear to be disturbed, and I lifted my skirt and moved softly, slowly, step by step, softly.

He still noticed it in the end, and looked up at me, "Miss Xiao, you don't have to be like this, just walk normally." ”

I simply lowered my skirt, walked briskly over to him, and asked, "What are you writing?" ”

"I'm copying books." He continued to write.

"Copy books, why do you want to copy books, can't you keep them for yourself?"

"These books are hard to find, and the curator asked someone to borrow them from a friend to read them, and I will return them in a few days. I'll copy it down so I can read it later. Mo Ziwu said while copying.

I looked through a few books placed on the table, "Chronicles of the Zhou Kingdom", "Chronicles of the Food and Goods of the Qi Kingdom", and "Visiting the Chen Kingdom", all of which talked about local customs and customs, mountains and rivers and the like. I suddenly understood, "When you are often away from home, you naturally need to know the customs of some places to facilitate your work." ”

"Not really, it's lonely on the way, and it's fun to read some books."

"Then how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" I panicked for no apparent reason.

He said calmly: "I can't say for sure, if an employer finds me, I will leave soon." ”

"Come back this time, can you ...... Stay longer. I was cautious, trying to find a reason to stay, "The children are very reluctant to keep you." I also hope to see you as a friend from time to time. ”

Time seemed to freeze, and his writing hand paused for a moment, and then continued to write, without giving an answer.

Writing a full sheet of paper, he finally put down his pen and looked at me squarely, "Yes! ”

“?” I couldn't react for a while, until I saw his smile with a clear smile, I suddenly understood that he was answering my words, and my lips unconsciously overflowed with a smile, "The children will be happy about it." ”

After secretly rejoicing in my heart for a while, I remembered that I had something serious to tell him when I came to him today.

So I briefly told him about my trip to the Tsukasae Mansion to persuade Ubungo to free the slaves.

After listening to my words, he was surprised and appreciative, and said with a smile: "I can convince Yuwen Hu, who has always been known for his coldness and suspicion, Miss Xiao, your talent is definitely not inferior to some officialdom." ”

"If the release of the slaves can really be realized, thousands of slaves in the Zhou Kingdom will thank you. You are the initiator behind this matter, and you are the one who puts it on the agenda. Miss Xiao, you can help these slaves, which shows that you are actually a kind girl, but you rarely show it. ”

Looking into his eyes, I seriously stated my thoughts, "No, I always thought that I was incapable of helping others, and selfishly ignored those in need and chose to protect myself. I thought that as long as I didn't be a bad person, it was too much of a luxury to be a good person. It wasn't until I met you that I changed my mind. ”

"You changed me." I didn't think that was appropriate, and added, "However, you are only the reason for my change, not the goal." All my changes are for myself, in order to make myself better, more reasonable, and happier. ”

Mo Ziwei smiled at me like dawn in the morning, "Miss Xiao, I'm glad to be the reason for your change. You are a clear-minded girl who knows how to change and has her own persistence. At this point, I appreciate it. ”

I moved a low stool and sat with him under the eaves of the door, chatting about the daily piles. He is not like other men, who have the pedantic arrogance of a gentleman and a distant cook, interesting facts in the market, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, he can say everything, which makes people feel close and warm.

Sitting side by side, looking at the tall blue sky, pale white clouds, and turquoise mountains in the distance. The sound of unknown birds flying under the clear sky, the sun is rippling, and when you are thirsty, you will drink a bowl of tea made of bamboo leaves.

——

After finishing his errand in front of the emperor, he returned to the academy, took out a pen and paper, planned to practice calligraphy, and wrote down the three words "Mo Ziwei", the font is beautiful, not as vigorous and powerful as Mo Ziwei's words, and the wind and bones are beautiful. Dissatisfied, he wrote it several times in a row, until he wrote a little bit of the charm of Mo Zi's worrying words. Seeing that the names on the paper were all Mo Ziwei's names, I felt monotonous, so I added my own name. After a while, I found that the paper was full of the names of me and Mo Ziwei.

Xiao Qingqiang, Mo Ziwei. I silently recited these two names, and suddenly a poem came to mind: "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart (2)." ”

Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. When I think of the meaning behind this poem, my face is hot, what is wrong with me, how can I think of this?

I shook my head, it must have been my recent frequent contact with him, and I had delusions, so I was cranky.

As soon as I lowered my head and saw that the paper was full of my name and his name, I was even more upset, and tried to write Ling'er's name again. After writing several times, I still couldn't calm down, so I had to give up my pen.

There was a tuk tuk knock outside the door, "Sister, are you there, I'm in." ”

It was Ling'er, I quickly crumpled the paper, threw it under the table, and replied, "I'm here, you come in." ”
