Chapter 546: Appreciating the Roses
"This ...... I ...... "Li Yi originally wanted Qiu Xiang to go with him, but he didn't want to ask her to go back to be a maid but wanted to pursue her, but when Zhang said this, he didn't know how to speak."
"Ahem, ahem...... Is the chairman back? At this time, Zhang's father, who had been asleep, was woken up by the voices of several people.
"Dad, you're awake, it's not that the chairman is here, but it's a big man who has come to see you. Look at how many noble people have come to visit you when you are sick this time. Let me introduce you to this is Lord Li Yili, the general of the General Staff of our Republic. Zhang Roar introduced to Zhang's father.
Father Zhang was a little disappointed when he saw that he was not the chairman and came back, but when he heard Zhang roar that the general staff of the People's Liberation Army on the other side did not dare to slack off, he propped himself up from the bed and wanted to salute Li Yi, Li Yi stepped forward and said: "Old man Zhang, you can lie down and rest, I also happened to pass by Guangde, and I met our chairman and deputy general heard that you were sick, so I came to visit." We were originally from peasant backgrounds, and we did not pay more attention to such a heavy courtesy than those big officials and nobles, and everyone in the republic was equal, and if you saluted me like this, I really couldn't bear it. ”
Hearing Li Yi speak so approachable, Father Zhang nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect that Guangde is different now, the republic led by the People's Liberation Army is stronger than the previous Nanchu I don't know how many times." It is really our happiness that we ordinary people can live under the leadership of adults like you! ”
After Zhang's father's praise like this, Li Yi felt embarrassed even if he was thick-skinned, "Old man, you look up to us too much, we just do a little better than the corrupt officials in Nanchu, and there are still a lot of things that need to be improved in the future." Our goal is to make the people of Nanchu live a good life. ”
"Well, it's good that you can have such a wish, and I am also looking forward to the day when our people will really be able to be the masters of their own affairs and not be bullied by the nobles." Father Zhang affirmed.
At this time, a guard outside the house came to report, saying that there were some documents and inventory waiting for Zhang Roar to go back to check and approve, and Zhang Roar had to confess and leave.
Zhang roared to Li Yi and said: "Lord Li is really embarrassed, it's rare for you to come once, I happen to have political affairs to do, I'm afraid that the grain in the warehouse will be waiting to be distributed to the people, if the distribution is not timely, I'm afraid it will affect everyone's mood." I have to go and check it out and allocate all the food and money that should be distributed to the people. I can only miss the company for a while, Qiu Xiang, you can talk to Lord Li well, I will come back after I am busy with things there, Lord Li stays, I will call the chairman and the deputy general in the evening, how about we have another drink? ”
What Zhang Roar went to do was a new policy set by Supreme Treasure before, and Li Yi understood it very well. Explain that the fields are distributed to each household, and then through their labor, after the harvest of these fields, part of the grain produced is handed over for internal use, and the rest can be sold to individuals or directly to the government. However, due to the existence of the black market and unreasonable prices in the private sector, ordinary people will choose to sell surplus grain to the reliable government of the Republic in exchange for corresponding daily necessities or directly money.
It should be emphasized that the coins used in the liberated areas are still the coins of Southern Chu, but once the republic continues to expand, it will need to agree on its own weights and measures, including these currencies. So this is also something that the Supreme Treasure will discuss after they go back.
"That's a good feeling, Lord Zhang, you can go with confidence, I'm not a child anymore, just go around by yourself. If you have something important, don't delay. Li Yi said very understandingly.
At first, Zhang's father chatted happily with Li Yi, but slowly Zhang's father's eyelids gradually closed, and he snored after a while.
In the whole room, only Li Yi and Qiu Xiang were still awake, and the atmosphere suddenly became charming.
Li Yi didn't know what to say, Qiu Xiang was also at a loss, and then Zhang's father was choked by his own saliva again.
"Ahem, ahem...... I'm sorry Master Li, I'm getting older, and I've just recovered from typhoid fever, so I can't help but want to sleep. ”
"Don't worry old man, it's almost time for me to leave, I'll come to the house again in the evening to have a drink and eat." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Wait, or else, Lord Li, you just arrived in our Guangde, you must not have appreciated the beautiful scenery here, Guangde Mountain is full of flowers and green trees, and the scenery is very beautiful. This courtyard is also left by the former corrupt official Guangde County Order, this person is very good at planting a lot of exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, and recently Wu'er has planted roses introduced by the chairman, which are very gorgeous and fragrant. Let the little girl accompany you to enjoy it! Zhang's father said.
"But Daddy, your illness ......," Qiu Xiang said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, I'm okay with my illness, just rest for a while. Besides, isn't there still your mother? When the situation comes, I'll just call her. You haven't been out to have fun in Guangde for a while, so let's go for a ride with Master Li this time! With him by your side to protect you, I will be relieved. Master Li, the little girl will trouble you to protect it. ”
"Old man, don't worry, Miss Qiu Xiang and I don't think anyone will dare to hurt her, if someone dares to touch a single hair of her, I, Li Yi, will let you deal with it after I Li Yi comes back." Li Yi said.
"Okay, okay, then I'll be relieved. Go ahead, and I should rest. Father Zhang slept with peace of mind.
Qiu Xiang still wanted to say something, but she had already heard her father's snoring, "Miss Qiu Xiang, why don't we go out first, it seems that the old man needs to rest, you see that he will sleep directly, let's not disturb him." ”
"Alright then!" Qiu Xiang looked at her sleeping father and Li Yi and exited the bedroom.
At the moment when the door was closed, Zhang's father opened his eyes again, looked at the man and woman standing outside the door, smiled, and continued to sleep.
"Miss Qiuxiang is not going to ...... I'll take you to the mountains outside the city for a walk, when I came to Guangde, I did see the scenery on the mountains is particularly beautiful, I just want to have time to enjoy it. It just so happened that the old man also said that he wanted me to go and see you, and you don't have to be afraid of danger with me. After Li Yi saw Qiu Xiang go out of the room, he just lowered his head and didn't speak, he opened the conversation clip first.
"Well, well! I listen to adults. Why don't we take a stroll around the yard now, I'm afraid that if my father wakes up soon, I'll be able to go back and take care of him. Qiu Xiang said shyly.
"Okay, I'll accompany Miss Qiuxiang in this courtyard to enjoy and appreciate first, you see how beautiful that kind of rose is!" Unconsciously, the two came to the rose field, and Li Yi pointed to the rose and said happily.
