Chapter 240: The Emperor's Family's Show-off
Teaching someone who has always sat on the floor to make a chair is not a simple matter. What's more, it is the carpenter of Liumu Village, which is naturally impossible to compare with the carpenter of Chang'an. You can see this by looking at Liu Laosan's level.
But although it's a little worse, it's still a bit of a skill after all. At least he doesn't have a strange name like Liu Laosan.
In this willow wood village, there is basically only one craftsman such as blacksmith and carpenter. This is also related to the shortage of food here, because Old Man Liu needs more people to farm, so it is natural to compress these seemingly unimportant personnel.
Anyway, there are less than 100 households here, and simple things can be self-sufficient.
There are six members of the carpenter's family, and he has four sons, which is the thing he is most proud of. The reason why Qin Ze knew about this was because as soon as he came to the door, he was pulled by the carpenter and said for a long time.
At this time, the carpenter's daughter-in-law will pretend to be casual and lean aside. Then, when the carpenter boasted about it, he would echo a few words with great modesty on the side.
For this simple woman, being able to give birth to four sons in a row for her husband can be said to be her greatest achievement, even in the entire Liumu Village, her status among women is the highest.
In the end, if it weren't for the carpenter's eldest man who saw Qin Ze's embarrassment, he came forward to interrupt his father and mother's mutual praise. Otherwise, I don't know how long the carpenter will pull himself to talk.
In fact, looking at this kind of touting, Qin Ze also felt a sense of familiarity. The two people who are thousands of miles away are not like this, not to mention that one of them is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the other is the mother of the world.
Especially in the past two days, this tacit understanding between the two people has also reached the point of no return. Because Cui Jiafu lost......
The common people broke through the lintel of Cui's house, and even the door was trampled into several pieces. Messy on the streets, being kicked around. Even in the end, some children even picked it up and made it a little toy for them.
Digging sand and filling pits......
Have you had a good time......
If it had been placed before, Jin Wuwei would not have dared to step into the Cui family without permission, but that day, he had already blocked in front of the other party's ancestral hall.
Old man Cui still fell ill after all, although he claimed to be sick in the past. But in fact, his body is still extremely tough, but this time he is really sick.
At his age, he doesn't get sick, but if he gets sick, it's not ordinarily difficult to deal with.
The old man of the Cui family is sick, and those who are still eyeing the Cui family will not be able to calm down immediately. Even those ordinary people are slowly no longer surrounding Cui's Mansion. And this is the funny place, the old man of the Cui family actually used this way to save the Cui family again.
People are like this, they have a natural sense of hostility towards the superior, but they are sympathetic to the weak for no reason.
On the day Cui Shi was exiled from Chang'an, no one from the Cui family went to escort him. His family of more than 100 people staggered down the Suzaku Street in Chang'an with a tattered salute.
Cui Shi Sun Gen was shot by Qin Ze with an arrow, and he became a eunuch completely. But on the day he left, he still brought more than 30 concubines......
It's a pity that Qin Ze didn't see this scene, and all the concubines were red and happy. The youngest of them is only fourteen years old, and I heard that he is still a famous character in Pingkangfang.
If you want to cover it, this is what it should mean.
The common people took Trish as a joke, but when Trish's official woman left Suzaku Street, she said goodbye to her rich sisters one by one. At least on the face, I don't see the slightest embarrassment.
However, no matter how the Cui family builds momentum, those who have some brains still see the current embarrassment of the Cui family.
Li Er can be said to have taken down the Cui family bloodlessly this time, although the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, but for the entire Tang family, it is undoubtedly a fierce alarm bell.
Chunfeng proudly said that the current Li Er, whether it was to smash Jieli's plan to suppress Xue Yantuo and Tuli externally, or to successfully purge the rise of the Li family in Longxi internally. This made Li Er's mood extremely good, but this joy could only be shared by Li Er and his eldest grandson.
Above the court, he will still be the qualified emperor, and only in this Li Zheng Hall is he the real Li Er.
A bowl of sweet phoenix soup is indispensable, although Sun Simiao has already warned Li Er to eat less sweets. But obviously, for this Ninety-Five, its role is almost minimal.
"The second brother has been in a much better mood recently, and the concubine is also happy for the second brother." After the eldest grandson gave birth to Li Zhi, his figure quickly returned to his original graceful appearance. Now lying behind Li Er and rubbing his shoulders for him, the touch that is like nothing also makes Li Er a little uneasy.
Li Er patted the eldest grandson's hand lightly, but said with a long sigh: "It is said that there are nobles in Guanlong, there are clans in Shandong, and there are Chinese clans in Jiangnan. The Shandong clan has both literature and martial arts, the Guanlong nobles specialize in martial arts, and the Chinese people in Jiangnan specialize in literature. And above this is the lingering five surnames and seven sects. Since when the Li family gathered the people of the world, there were many conflicts with the family. Now that the Cui family is treated like this, I am afraid that those scholars will chew the root of their tongues again. ”
The family arose in the Western Han Dynasty, developed in the Wei and Jin dynasties, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and died out in the Song and Ming dynasties.
And this is also the reason why Li Er has always been eyeing the Cui family, the family has developed for nearly a thousand years, no matter in which dynasty system, it has been deeply rooted, with the rise and fall of the dynasty, the family is also constantly developing.
Even if Li Er wanted to build a powerful dynasty, he couldn't do without the help of these families.
Even though Li Er is high, holding the country's million-dollar military power and controlling the country's finances, everyone's life and death power is in his hands. But among the million-strong army, more than half of the soldiers are supported by the big families, and seventy or eighty percent of the ministers above the court are also the cronies and children of the big families.
Just saying that the family of scholars in the world accounts for seventy percent, so how can Li Er talk about ruling the world.
In fact, Qin Ze saw this matter very clearly, the land of the Tang Dynasty needs to be governed by the family, the army needs the commander of the family, and the cultural dissemination also depends on the family...... It still depends on the family. Therefore, Datang is inseparable from the family, at least at present, it is impossible to do without.
It's just that Qin Ze not only saw the role of the family for the Tang Dynasty, but also saw the harm of the family to the imperial power.
The family of the Tang Dynasty is too rampant, especially now it is still spread among the people: the king and the horse, the world. This sentence is naturally understandable, because before the Tang Dynasty, all imperial power was divided equally between the emperor and the family. It's a pity that the current Li Er is a real soaring dragon, and with Qin Ze cheering on his side, Li Er is finally slowly realizing his ambitions.
The eldest grandson naturally knew what his husband meant, and he naturally knew that Li Er was worried about something.
Turning sideways slightly, he put a hand into Li Er's second, and then gently rubbed Li Er's cheek and said, "What Your Majesty has done is for the people of the world. Yu Shangcui's family collaborated with the enemy to commit treason and frame Zhongliang, His Majesty is worthy of heaven and earth. The Cui family is arrogant and unreasonable for personal gain, and His Majesty is worthy of the people. Ruling the world and the country is prosperous. Your Majesty works hard, not only worthy of heaven and earth, but also harmless to the people, and why do you need other people's words, the people of this world will give Your Majesty a clear name. ”
Therefore, compared with the second eldest grandson of Li, the little tricks of these two people in the carpenter's family seem much more naïve. After all, they said that the thing worth showing off was that they only gave birth to four sons. Compared with Li Er, who shocked half of the Tang Dynasty at every turn, he really couldn't lift his face.
However, people can speak energetically, and Qin Ze is not easy to interject. What's more, this is not a great blessing in life for this couple.
It is estimated that the people in the entire Liumu Village have heard enough of the carpenter's show-off, so now when they see an outsider, they will talk so energetically.
Now interrupted by his own son, the carpenter was clearly a little upset. Qin Ze hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to take out the drawings he had drawn, which removed the carpenter's mind from showing off and dispelled his desire to continue.
The chair is not too troublesome to make, even if the carpenter is really a half-ass, but it is not too helpless. What's more, what Qin Ze took out was the simplest thing, so after just one glance, the carpenter nodded in response.
For the carpenter, although he was not optimistic about the thing Qin Ze took out, it did not prevent him from accepting this business. Anyway, the salt Qin Ze gave would not be less, a chair was five catties of salt, Qin Ze, a stupid businessman, didn't know the true price of salt at all.
Qin Ze pursed his lips, naturally he was too lazy to say anything. He has been staying in Liumu Village for a while now, and if he wants to get out of this dense forest, he naturally can't help Old Man Liu. And for this help, Qin Ze was willing to wait.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that even God would help Qin Ze so much. Because the old man Liu who escorted the charcoal to the trade did not reach the destination at all, so he returned it again.
The way out was blocked by heavy rain a few days ago, and a landslide caused a large number of trees to cross the road. If you want to get out, you have to move the beams first, but obviously this is a big project. So when Old Man Liu came back, he had a sad face.
For Liumuzhai, the road to the outside world can only be in the hands of a few. And Old Man Liu used this way to consolidate his leadership in Liumu Village. So he couldn't let too many people follow, and that's where he was worried.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Qin Ze, but since he had accepted Old Man Liu's wish, he naturally wanted to go and help.
And for Old Man Liu, removing the giant tree is a huge project. But for Qin Ze, this is extremely simple. Because he made a chainsaw.
It's just that Qin Ze can't just lend the chainsaw so simply, after all, he himself is not a saint, equality and mutual benefit are what Qin Ze pursues.
