On weekdays, the relationship between Wang Shuo and Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, is good.

A few years ago, when Li Qiyuan was not a scholar, and when he was still free, they often met together to drink and write poems to express their ambitions.

It's just that in recent years, after Li Qiyuan became the secretary of the household department, his official affairs have become more and more busy, and he is no longer so idle.

But even so, the two will still maintain some friendship.

At this banquet of the king of letters, Wang Shuo strongly recommended Li Qiyuan, and he thought that Li Qiyuan, the secretary of the household department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were among the few people who did not cling to the Wei party.

King Xin naturally also admired Li Qiyuan's talent, so he invited Li Qiyuan.

Originally, as a scholar, such as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, although he also had a good impression of King Xin, after all, he thought that Shangshu was not suitable to participate in this kind of dinner, so he politely refused.

didn't expect this Hubu Shangshu Li Qiyuan to come.

Li Qiyuan not only came, but at this time, he stood up and angrily reprimanded Wang Shuo.

Which side are you on?

Wang Shuo was shocked and looked up at Li Qiyuan in confusion.

But seeing Li Qiyuan's angry appearance, he obviously couldn't hold it back, he glared at Wang Shuo, gritted his teeth and said: "Shameless, shameless!" ”

said two shamelessness in a row, almost making people mistakenly think that Wang Shuo was Li Qiyuan's father-killing enemy.

This shocked even Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Jingyi.

The two of them are still secretly refreshed in their hearts, Zhang Jin is a person...... It's not bad, you can change your mistakes, and you can get lost......

But Li Qiyuan's sudden anger only made the two dumbfounded.

Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt that he was quite incompetent, as the commander of Dongchang, he didn't know anything.

What's going on now?

In this situation, Wang Shuo couldn't get off the stage, and this meal could be said to be the most difficult meal to swallow in his life.

After relieving himself, he smiled dryly and said, "Brother Li, this ...... Why? ”

He still retains the last shbit of respect.

Li Qiyuan sneered and said with disdain: "Why? I just can't listen to your talk! ”

There was a humane on the side: "Li Gong is angry, what can't you say well?" All friends. ”

Li Qiyuan said with a stiff face: "It's because we are friends that these words are difficult to hear." What is the plea for the people? Okay, Prince, I just ask you, what is the price of vegetables and meat in the capital now? ”

This ...... But he knocked everyone down.

Everyone looked at Li Qiyuan in astonishment, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Wang Shuo said embarrassedly: "What is the price of vegetables, what is the price of meat, what does it have to do with me?" Do you know? ”

Li Qiyuan said coldly: "Of course I know, the moss is three dollars a catty, lettuce is four yuan, the daylily in the north of the thistle has recently risen to seven yuan, taro five yuan, bean sprouts nine yuan, these days, the price of rice has risen slightly, and there are ...... The price of meat has risen recently because of the heavy rain a few days ago, and the price of butchers in various places has risen by 30% because of the difficulty of traveling and transportation due to the heavy rain......"

He actually said the Tao like a few treasures.

The crowd was speechless again.

In fact, Li Qiyuan didn't care about these things in the past, he was a dignified scholar, and his family was a big landlord in Beizhili, and his family was very wealthy.

But everything has changed since he hoarded food at the beginning, but he ended up losing all his money and even owed a lot of debt.

The family's land was mortgaged at the beginning, because he couldn't pay the money, even if he was the head of the household, the creditor could only honestly collect the land.

After all, people who dare to lend so much money in the capital naturally have a way to make you pay back obediently.

A family of more than 40 people can't live in their hometown, after all, the land is gone, so they have to migrate to the capital and live with Li Qiyuan.

The servants in the family really can't afford to support them, so they have to be dismissed all of them.

Even the sedan chair man...... I really can't afford it, it's not hypocrisy, it's really too expensive, the family has a large population, and they all point to his official life.

In fact, as the head of the household, it stands to reason that in addition to being an official, he is still very oily.

But Li Qiyuan also died, when his family was big, he didn't take ordinary money in his eyes at all, and he refused all those who wanted to stuff him with silver.

So the entire Ming Dynasty knows that today's household secretary Li Qiyuan has clean sleeves and is honest and honest.

With such a character, who would dare to come and send him money?

Aren't you afraid that the gifts you give will be thrown out directly and you will be humiliated?

Thereupon...... The real-life version of the family is in the middle of the road.

Miserable!

There are so many people in the family, just such a little money, fortunately, the mansion did not pawn at the beginning, and there was a place to live, but there was no slave to take care of, even if it was up and down, it had to walk.

It's just a matter of walking, and this head of the household, Li Qiyuan, every time he goes home from duty, he quickly takes off his official clothes and changes into regular clothes.

When he was on duty, it happened to be getting late, and at that time...... The vegetable vendors in the market, ready to close their stalls, will always leave some rotten vegetables and leftovers that cannot be sold.

These days, Li Qiyuan has studied the law thoroughly, and every time he goes to the entrance of the vegetable market, he will go to the entrance of the vegetable market, bargain with people, buy some cheap vegetables, and save a little bit!

If there is anything else in his family today, the whole family will drink the northwest wind.

When you have money, of course, you are calling for wind and rain, not to mention a few pennies, even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are not looked down upon.

Now, it's really a penny broken, and I can't wait to crush it, divide it into a few petals, and think about it all I want...... Ah, this daylily has gone up, buy a few more.

Or think, the grandson has just been born, and the daughter-in-law has no breast milk, and the meat is cheap these two days, so buy more and go back to stew to nourish and nourish.

In the past, I didn't think it, but now the poor are in charge, and firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all obstacles.

The terrible thing is that Li Qiyuan is still a face-saving person, as soon as this person wants face, he aggravates this predicament, every day like a mouse, sneaking to the entrance of the vegetable market, seeing cheap vegetables glowing green, buying things, and fearing that people will see them, and these are quietly hidden in his big sleeves, if he sees an acquaintance, before he says hello, his face will be red first.

How difficult the people's livelihood is, now Li Qiyuan is giving full play to it.

He is now accustomed to seeing the complaints of people who buy vegetables when the prices of vegetables and rice rise, and the begging of some poor people at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Although they do not classify themselves as beggars and poorer people, they can also feel this hardship.

These days, wherever there is a meal, as long as someone dares to invite, Li Qiyuan dares to go, sit still, do not say a word, he can eat a little more, if he has the opportunity, he will secretly hide a little good thing, and go back to his wife and children, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to eat.

This kind of life makes me feel sad when I think about it, but I probably got used to it slowly.

Can...... Seeing Wang Shuo talking like this, he could have heard the ears out of the calloon, but he was used to it, and although he couldn't agree now, he would never come out to make people lose face.

It's just that Zhang Jin's words speak to his heart.

Joyfully!

But seeing that Wang Shuo was still chattering, he didn't seem to be able to hold it back, and his heart was like being angry, you, you Wang Shuo, this old dog, won't give us poor people a way to live.

Li Qiyuan finished reporting the price of the food, and said with a sneer: "The prince always speaks righteously, and every word is right, but on the one hand, he says that he loves the people like a son, but on the other hand, he is supported by the people, but he only talks about it, this is just a castle in the air, and everything is taken for granted." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You don't even know the price of food, why are you talking about how difficult people's livelihood is?" The hardships of the common people are just on your lips forever, but you don't know how hard they are, how difficult their lives are, how much rice they eat every day, how much vegetables they eat, what the lives of the military families are, and what the conditions of the displaced people are. But what about you...... What have you done but hold a few scriptures and talk about it? ”

Wang Shuo, who has always been elegant, can be said to have been scolded for being bloody.

He couldn't understand why Li Qiyuan, who had always had a good relationship with him, was so angry?

He opened his mouth, trying to reply.

Li Qiyuan continued to sneer and said: "You keep talking, how bad Qingping Bo is, let me tell you the truth, when it comes to this good governance, the counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, the best life of ordinary people is Xinxian." ”

"What?" When Wang Shuo heard this, he was shocked for a while.

He didn't expect it...... Li Qiyuan, who has always regarded Zhang Jingyi as an enemy of the world, actually opened his mouth to say such things.

Wang Shuo thinks Li Qiyuan is not crazy?

At the beginning, he heard with his own ears how Li Qiyuan scolded Zhang Jingyi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Among the scholars, Zhang Jingyi is a traitor and a thief, misleading the country and the people, and so on, but it is the consensus of the scholars.

Who would have thought that Li Qiyuan would say such things on an occasion like today?

At this moment, many people are eager to try.

Originally, because of Zhang Jingyi's presence, everyone tried their best to avoid this topic, but now you Li Qiyuan has no backbone, so ...... I have to talk about it.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse became more and more interested, and he couldn't wait to beat the drums beside him, shouting: "Fight, hurry up." ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, feeling more and more that the situation was beginning to get out of control.

Wang Shuo said coldly: "Really? Li Gong said this, so how can we see that the new county is practicing good governance? ”

Li Qiyuan said unceremoniously: "The old man has been to the vegetable market in all counties, and the old man has been in contact with all kinds of people in various counties, how can I not know?" ”

Direct critical hits.

This ......

The ...... that appeared on Wang Shuo's face Only embarrassment.

This is simply a statement of appearance, beaten to death.

This was not enough, Li Qiyuan continued: "So...... Dare to ask how many vegetable markets the prince has been to and how many people he has come into contact with? ”
