Chapter 715: A private interview with Weifu
Li Qinzai has always maintained a polite and detached attitude towards Zhao Daoyun's sister and brother.
The emotional problems of the father's and mother's generation, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and when the son naturally has no reason to say anything, it is not appropriate to agree or oppose.
Li Qinzai can only decide his own attitude, neither hot nor cold, neither salty nor light, before she is integrated into this family, it is best not to take her too seriously.
Facing Li Qinzai's active chat, Zhao Daoyun was obviously a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "I'm used to it, the people in the house are very good to me, and I also have the rules and etiquette in the school." β
Li Qinzai smiled: "You don't have to be too deliberate about learning the rules, live a casual life, after a long time, those who abide by the rules will naturally understand, and those who don't follow the rules will be useless even if they recite the rules backwards." β
Zhao Daoyun's eyelids jumped, and he didn't dare to raise his head, but he was secretly thinking about the meaning of Li Qinzai's words in his heart, and he always felt that there was something in his words, which seemed to imply a warning.
"I understand, I will study the rules hard, and I will abide by them well, and I will not shame the house." Zhao Daoyun said honestly.
Li Qinzai suddenly said again: "Brother Ling is still on an errand with the housekeeper?" β
Zhao Daoyun nodded: "Yes, he is a little stupid, I am afraid that he will not be able to take charge alone in three or two years." β
Li Qinzai smiled: "It's okay, let him study hard, the errands in the house are not complicated, pay more attention to what Steward Wu does, and if there is a chance in the future, let him take care of some of the industries in the house." β
Zhao Daoyun said gratefully: "Thank you Li Xianhou." β
Li Qinzai shook his head: "Don't thank me, as long as your brothers and sisters are upright and clear, I will treat you as family." β
Zhao Daoyun humbly agreed.
After chatting a few words, Li Qinzai turned around and left.
Facing Zhao Daoyun's sister and brother, Li Qinzai still can't let go of his guard, if you only look at the surface, with the unremitting efforts of the sister and brother from a poor background, they finally got ahead, which sounds quite inspirational.
But Li Qinzai always feels that this story is too simple, the plot, characters, and settings are all so logical, and he has learned a few dog planing styles in the court in the past few years, Li Qinzai will not be so naΓ―ve to believe in anyone and everything.
The story is good, but it could be a little more complicated.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Beckoning Liu Ah Si and the others to come to the side hall of the front yard, Li Qinzai ordered his subordinates to prepare more than a dozen sets of linen shirts for ordinary people, and after changing them himself, he asked Liu Ah Si and his subordinates to also change into them.
The subordinates carried out honestly, and Liu Ah Si couldn't help but ask: "Fifth young man, what are we going to do with this clothes?" β
"Get out of town and find a few places to wander."
"Why do you need to change your clothes?"
Li Qinzai smiled: "Why don't I write a detailed report and explain it to you?" β
Liu Asi sneered: "The villain is illiterate, but there is no need." β
"Then don't talk nonsense, hurry up and change!"
After everyone changed their clothes, Li Qinzai ordered them to unload their weapons, and then led everyone out of the city on horseback.
There was no clear destination, Li Qinzai and the others stopped outside the city gate after leaving the Hanguang Gate, and then Li Qinzai took out a map and poked it on the map with his eyes closed.
"Just go here!" Li Qinzai put away the map and galloped away.
Liu Asi and the others were dumbfounded, this ...... Isn't it too casual? What exactly does the fifth young man want to do?
The location Li Qinzai was referring to was Jingyang County, which was very close to Chang'an City, about 60 miles, and it took less than two hours to ride a horse.
When everyone entered the boundary of Jingyang County, Li Qinzai did not enter the county seat, but galloped towards the place where there was farmland outside the city.
After about 20 miles of running, the rugged road was lined with freshly sown wheat fields, and Li Qinzai stopped his horse.
Tethering the horses to a tree by the roadside, leaving one of the tribes to guard the horses, Li Qinzai led the rest of the tribes on foot towards the nearby village.
While walking, he looked left and right at the freshly sown wheat field, and Li Qinzai nodded with satisfaction: "The snow at the end of last year came early, and there were a few rains in the spring this year, if there is no natural disaster in the middle of the year, this year should be a bumper harvest year." β
Liu Ah Sixi said: "That's really thanks to God, last year there was a big drought, the people of Datang all suffered, if this year can have a bumper harvest, how much can make up for last year's deficit, and the farmers can save a few more buckets of grain." β
Li Qinzai's face was not happy, but he sighed: "Shangguan Yi has calculated an account, even if all the farmland in Datang is harvested this year, it is still not enough to repay the deficit of the treasury in the past two years, not to mention that Your Majesty will also seal Mount Tai, and it will be a large amount of money, grain and labor......"
"If Your Majesty really does this, Datang will not be able to breathe for at least five years."
Liu Asi scratched his head and said: "Fifth Shaolang, the villain is a vulgar martial artist, he doesn't understand any big truths, the Son of Heaven must be reasonable, if the treasury is really lost like this, why do you have to run Mount Tai to seal Zen?" After a few years, when the treasury is abundant, let's talk about the matter of sealing Zen, isn't it okay for the government and the opposition to be happy? β
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "Yes, you understand the truth, but the Son of Heaven doesn't understand it......"
The left and right are trustworthy trilogies, Li Qinzai is not afraid of taboos when he speaks, and sighed: "The Son of Heaven has indeed made a lot of achievements in the past two years, and if you are serious, you are qualified to seal Zen, but the treasury is empty, and the people have no surplus food. β
Liu Asi scratched his head and said: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't talk about any pomp, the light car Jane will go to Mount Tai and rush back after sealing the Zen, it shouldn't cost much, right?" β
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Feng Chan, there have been strict etiquette and laws since ancient times, without any pomp, Feng Chan will become a joke, do you think it is your mother-in-law who goes back to her mother's house to save her relatives?" β
While chatting, the group walked to an unknown village.
The village was deserted, and Li Qinzai walked into Zhuangzi and found that most of the people he could see were old people, women and children, but there were very few young people in the village.
The children gathered in a heap and watched curiously as Li Qinzai and the others approached, timidly following them from a distance, while the old people sat at the door of their houses basking in the sun, looking at the verdant wheat fields in the distance with cloudy old eyes, as if immersed in the sad memories of half a lifetime.
Li Qinzai walked to the east side of the village and found a random farmer's house, which looked poor, the wooden house was in disrepair, and the fence outside the yard was also sparse and collapsed.
Rao was like this, Li Qinzai still stood outside the simple fence and called out to the house very politely.
An old man staggered out of the room, bent over and slowly opened the door, trying to open his eyes and look at Li Qinzai and his party with wide eyes.
Li Qinzai smiled politely at the old man: "This old man, the boy and others are passing by here, they are a little thirsty, and they want to ask the old man for a bowl of water to drink, I don't know if it is convenient for the old man?" β
The old man sighed, revealing the enthusiastic side of the people in Guanzhong, and led Li Qinzai and others to the courtyard, and not long after, the old man came out with a large clay pot and a few pottery bowls.
