As early as the first private interview with Weifu, Li Zhi saw that Gao Sheng had guessed his identity.

He and Gao Sheng, for each other, are dumb and eat dumplings - they know it in their hearts.

Now that Gao Sheng already knows his identity, his words are so obvious, but Gao Sheng's guy is still hiding his secrets with him and playing with him and pretending to be confused, which makes him a little annoyed.

If it was usual, he would definitely make Gao Sheng regret his actions at this moment.

But at this moment, Li Zhi couldn't help it, but said with a smile: "The county man said that it was okay, and it didn't hurt for you to really go to Jiangnan Province to deal with national affairs, you are a rural farmer, and you know the needs of the people better, so it doesn't hurt for the county man to talk about it from the perspective of a farmer." ”

Gao Sheng complained bitterly, and if he didn't answer Li Zhi's question today, I was afraid that Li Zhi would chase after him.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he looked helpless and said, "Alas, since Lang Jun wants to know, then he reluctantly said." ”

"To eliminate the anti-woman Chen Shuozhen's demagogy for the people of Jiangnan Province, the only way is this eight-character mantra 'temptation and benefit, knowledge and reason'."

Since Li Zhi has to pretend to be forced, if he talks about state affairs, then he talks about it, and what the consequences are, it is also Li Zhi's own business.

Although Li Zhi guessed what the truth of these eight words was, most of the discussions among the ministers in the court were this routine, he said: "If it is a county man, how can he 'lure it to benefit from it, and know it with reason'?" ”

Gao Shengzuo replied: "The people of the world have enough to eat, live and work in peace and contentment, who will rebel?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, but said: "The ten provinces of the Tang Dynasty are all taxed, and Jiangnan Province is one place, the products are abundant, and the people are not rich, but it will never reach the point of having no food, but Chen Shuo, the anti-thief and demon woman of Jiangnan Province, is really tricking the people into rebellion, why is this?" ”

"The 'benefit' in this eight-character mantra is the key to whether it can be 'benefited' to the people of Jiangnan Province. In ancient times, there were policies and countermeasures, and the good intentions of the saints today have reached the localities and the hands of the people, which may be the 'bad intentions' that make the people unable to live. ”

Li Zhi was reminded by Gao Sheng, and he had a great sense of recognition, did the group of old men of the former dynasty still have few things to do with themselves?

He nodded, and finally Zou frowned silently, and pondered.

After a while, Li Zhi asked again: "The county man's 'understanding and reason' is reconciliation again?" ”

At first glance, this sentence is to reason with the people, but the people in this period are not very literate, and it is better to reason with them than to distribute money and food for free.

So Li Zhi knew that Gao Sheng's sentence definitely had other meanings.

"Destroy all kinds of myths of the anti-thief demon woman Chen Shuozhen in the folk in front of the people one by one, so that it will definitely be able to weaken the anti-thief demon woman Chen Shuozhen's demagogy to the people of Jiangnan Province, and then benefit it, over time, the people of Jiangnan Province should only remember the current saint, not the anti-thief demon woman Chen Shuozhen."

Li Zhi nodded, the look of relief in his eyes flashed, looking at Gao Sheng, who bowed his head and said nothing, he smiled ambiguously: "'Temptation and benefit, knowledge and reason' is easier said than done!" ”

Gao Sheng lowered his head and was silent, and if he spoke at this time, he would really not be able to escape the fate of entering the office.

Of course, he knew what Li Zhi meant in his words, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Li Zhi saw that his eyes were flickering, but he was avoiding being an official, so he didn't care, smiled, and said: "I heard Old Man Gao say that the county man has never studied in school, is illiterate, and can't even write his own name, but when he is free every day, he holds a scroll and watches, why is this?" ”

"Uh......" Gao Sheng was dumbfounded.

Oops, it's good if he didn't cheat his father, and now he has been cheated by his father again.

His first impression of Li Zhi, the emperor's old son, was illiterate, if he was literate, for the sake of the new steelmaking law, Li Zhi probably would not have made him an empty knight, but directly let him become an official.

On weekdays, Gao Sheng borrowed some books from Tian's house to pass the boring time, and by the way, he recognized traditional Chinese characters, but he didn't expect the old man to tell Li Zhi about his reading.

Gao Sheng is a person who reacts very quickly, and in a flash of thought, he replied: "Alas, I am ashamed to say that a certain man from Xiahe County can't even write his own name, if he doesn't work hard to read and write, won't he live up to the grace of the saint's knighthood?" ”

Li Zhi saw him talking nonsense with his eyes open, and patting his ass in front of him, he immediately laughed, and he was also relieved in his heart, although this guy was illiterate, he was trying to be literate, not bad, not bad.

In short, it's a pity, if Gao Sheng is literate, Li Zhi really intends to patrol Jiangnan Province to pacify the people, let him give it a try.

But he still wondered in his heart, Gao Sheng didn't even know how to read, why was his head full of ideas, and it was not a problem to invent and create some strange things, just this mahjong thing, it should be a strange thing in the world.

Poetry can come again, and the speech is still good, alas, if you are not illiterate, you can be an official and serve the Tang Dynasty!

How did Gao Sheng know, a thousand thoughts flashed in Li Zhi's heart, and then he filled in the word "pity".

At this moment, I only heard a shout from outside.

"Is Saburo at home? Saburo is available? ”

As soon as Gao Sheng heard this voice, he frowned, and hurriedly said to Li Zhi: "Lang Jun, wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”

Li Zhi nodded, still unhappy in his heart about Gao Sheng's lack of culture.

……

Gao Sheng walked out of the hall door, and when he came to the courtyard gate, he saw Gao Cheng holding meat in his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Gao Cheng said with a stammering smile: "I haven't seen Aya and A-Niang for a few days, I'll come and see Aya and A-Niang." ”

Gao Sheng was about to laugh at Gao Cheng's words, when the old man and the old lady left Lao Gao's house, Gao Cheng seemed to have forgotten what he had said.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Gao Cheng, and said to the entourage standing guard in front of the courtyard gate: "This person is making a lot of noise, disturbing your master's purity, if you still don't leave, you will be beaten away with a stick." ”

When the surrounding entourage heard this, they immediately took the sticks in the courtyard and went out directly to surround Gao Cheng, who was standing outside.

Where has Gao Cheng seen such a battle, and before the entourage raised the stick in his hand, he was already carrying the meat and running around with his head in his hands.

The entourage did not chase Gao Cheng, and they all came back with an indignant face, as if they did not beat the person who "disturbed the purity of the master", but they were angry.

Seeing the leader of the entourage, who was also an old acquaintance, Gao Sheng stepped forward with a smile and said to the leader of the entourage: "Brother look at the door more, if this person comes again, you don't have to be polite, just beat him away." ”

"I know." The leader of the entourage hurriedly received the order, this is a county man, and he is also a friend of the emperor Lao'er, but he doesn't dare to slack off.

Gao Sheng turned around with satisfaction, and saw Li Zhi looking at him with a smile, and said, "The county man is not outside, are my entourages still handy?" ”

Gao Sheng's old face turned red, was Li Zhi sarcastic......
