Chapter 32: Becoming an Official?
Since Li Jin asked Bron to register a dart game in the name of the camp, the people in the camp have gradually begun to turn to the white road business, and they have not done the business of robbing houses for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and Li Jin's new ideas have made Bulon almost monopolize the entire Linzhou game ingredients supply market, and now the total assets in the camp are probably too many to count. What's more, the people living in the camp are self-sufficient in farming and weaving, and there is no place to use money at all, so now the people in the camp are not only satisfied with their material life, but also with their spiritual life.
Li Jin has lived in the camp for these days, looking at the people who work hard during the day and enjoy the bonfire at night, he can't help but sigh, these people are just some simple peasants, how easy they are to be satisfied, but the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, it is such a group of people who are so easy to be satisfied, but they were forced to go to Liangshan to become robbers.
As the saying goes, prosperous, the people suffer; Death, the people are suffering!
"Young Master Li Jin, I just discovered that this hot spring lake is rich in a precious carp, old man, I just caught a big, very delicious meat, do you want to come to my house at night to sit?" At dinner time, the village chief's father saw Li Jin sitting alone by the lake in a daze, and took the initiative to invite in a calm tone.
Of course, Li Jin was happy to agree, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to my wives first, and I'll go over later." ”
Because the people in the camp work hard during the day, there are people who make a big pot of rice for lunch, and at night, each family usually cooks their own food and enjoys the warmth of the family.
As soon as Li Jin went back, Chen Chuchu and Luyi really didn't have the strength to be tossed last night, so they stayed in bed and didn't plan to go. However, Zijing received the least favor, and she had already gotten up early, so she decided to follow Li Jin over, and by the way, she could help.
"Dad, I didn't say hello, I brought an extra mouth to eat, I'm really sorry." Li Jin just arrived at the door of the village elder's father's house and said apologetically.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the more people the better, the more people are lively." Before the village chief's father could speak, the village chief's wife had already smiled on her face, since her son's death, she hadn't seen so many people in the family eat for a long time.
Entering the door, Bauhinia took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help out. The village chief's wife really liked Bauhinia's beauty and cleverness, so she gave Bauhinia a pair of emerald bracelets that she was going to pass on to her daughter-in-law.
The village chief's wife seemed to be a good housekeeper, and with the help of someone, the first course was quickly put on the table in a short time.
The village chief first poured Li Jin a glass of wine, and then took out a cup and poured it in front of him: "Young Master Li Jin, take a sip, this is the old man's own wine, just as I respect you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have starved to death." ”
Although the amount of wine was not good, it could not withstand the village chief's warm invitation, Li Jin took a small sip of the wine glass and drank it gently. "Wow...... that's so rushing." Li Jin, who drank spirits for the first time, was very uncomfortable. The village chief did not laugh, but said a little sadly: "We are already content with the life we have now, very content." But Young Master Li Jin, you don't know that there are still many people like us who don't have enough food and clothing. ”
The village chief drank a sip of wine, and then continued: "Young Master Li Jin is kind-hearted and capable, and he doesn't dislike our group of peasants, if you can become a big official, then thousands of poor people will be saved." Old man, I really hope that you can become a big official, and it is better to become a state guard. ”
Li Jin didn't expect the village elder father to say such a thing. After a little stunned, he laughed: "Dad, you're drunk." ”
"I'm not drunk, we ordinary people just want to live a stable life, be fed and clothed, and have a little extra money. But I didn't give us such a low request, I heard that Taishou would cost thousands of taels of silver for a meal, and each dish was only eaten in a few bites, and the rest was all thrown out. That's the annual living expenses of our village. The village chief borrowed the strength of the wine, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
Grass, hares, wolves, creatures at the top of the food chain. The fields, the people, the nobles, the guards. Li Jin's mind suddenly had such a comparison, looking at the village chief who was already lying on the table and shouting incoherently. Li Jin called the village chief's wife to help him back to the bedroom, and then left with Zijing.
There is still a hint of coolness in the night in the wild, and Bauhinia wants to put on a cloak for Li Jin. Li Jin waved his hand to block Bauhinia: "I'm not cold." ”
"The young master is still thinking about the words of the village elder." Zijing saw that Li Jin seemed to be thinking about something.
Li Jin looked back and smiled: "I don't want to think about it anymore." These things are not for us to worry about, this is the emperor's business. I just need to take care of you and make you happy, and then I can find something fun to do when I have the energy. ”
Li Jin is about to turn eighteen years old. What sense of mission, life goals and the like have nothing to do with him, saving these people is nothing more than a momentary act of kindness. The establishment of the dart bureau is just to feel the feeling of being the leader, and by the way to find a way to feed these people. What does the society and people's livelihood have to do with him, after all, the more you carry, the more tired you are.
"Young Master, if you really become a Taishou. Will they be kind to the people? Zijing also heard the village chief's words and asked in a low voice.
"Taishou, don't be kidding. I'm not interested in being a Taishou, and it's not appropriate to give it to me for nothing. It's still a free life, and it's good to accompany you. Li Jin couldn't stop laughing, being an official? Even the emperor can't do what he likes as he wants, and sometimes he has to be angry with the ministers, and there are a lot of rules. Even the emperor is not free like this, let alone an official, there are even bigger officials above, and they have to be managed.
Zijing said in a small voice that only she could hear: "I really hope that the young master can become a taishou." ”
Of course, Li Jin couldn't hear what Zijing said, and looked at the moon printed on the lake. Picked up a stone and threw it over, the ripples of the water rippled to disrupt the full moon, just like Li Jin's thoughts at this moment, not calm.
