Zhongli Ruoshui reluctantly got out of bed.

She's not a bed-lover.

She has always been punctual and self-disciplined.

But for the past few days, she felt good in bed.

This bed is obviously hard and very narrow, and this quilt is obviously a little wet and has a faint musty smell.

She had never slept in such a bed covered with such a quilt, but for some reason, she thought it was very good.

Lying on this bed is more comfortable than ever.

Is this lazy?

Is it because you have become frugal from luxury?

Of course not.

In the past, I slept alone, but it turned out that sleeping with two people was more flavorful.

This may be the complementarity and harmony of yin and yang.

As a result, the bed becomes less important.

It's a pity that I'm sick.

Otherwise......

Zhongli Ruoshui sat on a stool, shining on a bronze mirror, carefully sticking to the mask as thin as a cicada's wings.

Otherwise, on this Yangtze River, it may be ...... A thousand miles in one day!

She didn't know that in the few days she had been with Xiao Baozi, she had been greatly influenced by Xiao Baozi.

……

……

The sky was blue.

The water reflects the sky, and the mountains on both sides of the river, so the water seems to become a long ink painting.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the river breeze blows in your face.

In this morning light, Zhongli Ruoshui's hair fluttered, and his clothes fluttered.

Li Chen'an's hand was still around Zhongli Ruoshui's small waist.

Zhongli Ruoshui is used to it.

and gradually became dependent like Xiao Baozi.

It's just that Xiao Baozi won't be too interested in the beautiful scenery in this early morning, but Zhongli Ruoshui is really amazed by this landscape painting.

After all, she is a young girl, and she is still a little different from Xiao Baozi's roughness.

There are not many boats on the river.

It's like the kind of boat they are on.

There are also cargo ships.

More are small fishing boats floating on both sides of the river.

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, those small fishing boats are the homes of many fishermen, you see......"

Li Chenan stretched out his hand and pointed to the right, "That fishing boat is estimated to be a family of four." ”

Zhongli Ruoshui looked around, and saw a man casting a net, a woman who seemed to be cooking, and two children playing on the bow of the boat.

It's a little far away, and I can't see the age clearly, but I can see the smoke rising from the fishing boat.

More than just a smoke.

Almost all of the fishing boats were smoking.

"They call the boat home?"

"Well, they make a living from fishing, and after they catch the fish, they go to the shore and sell them for some oil, salt, firewood and rice, and then they go back to the boat."

"Cycle after cycle, generations have lived like this."

Zhongli Ruoshui couldn't understand.

After all, she was on a completely different level from these fishermen.

She knew that the fish she ate at home had been bought.

But I never thought about where the fish sellers got it from.

It's like she knows that she needs charcoal for heating in winter, but she won't ask where it comes from.

So, she remembered the "Charcoal Seller" written by Li Chenan.

Aren't these fishermen who have lived on the boat for generations no different from the old man who sells charcoal?

They are all at the bottom of this society!

They are the hardest and hardest-working, but they have nothing to do with wealth.

"Their children...... Don't read? ”

"I can't afford to read."

"And what ...... their future?"

"They don't have a future, the future is to inherit that fishing boat and continue to live on the boat to fish."

"If you can marry a daughter-in-law, you can have three or two children...... Just like that family, it can be considered happy. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui's heart darkened, and he pondered for a moment: "Isn't there a way to solve it?" ”

"There should be a way!"

This sentence was not said by Li Chenan.

Instead, he also came to the bow of the boat to enjoy the morning river scenery to Xiang Qingyun.

As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong.

He hurriedly bowed: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I am in Xia Menglang, disturbing your purity." ”

Li Chenan looked at Xiang Qingyun and smiled slightly: "You kid, tell me if there is any way to solve the embarrassment of those fishermen?" ”

There has been a lot of contact in the past few days, and they have even drunk two times together, so they are no strangers to each other.

Xiang Qingyun looked at the fishing boats with his hands behind his back, "After all, it fell on the word silver!" ”

"They have been fishermen for generations, and when it comes to fishing and water, they are undoubtedly masters of this."

"It's just that the fish they catch every day can't sell a few copper plates."

"Reading books, not to mention textbooks, is not something they can afford."

"Their children are born and raised on boats, and all they learn is fishing! In the future, they can only fish for a living. ”

"Speaking of which, this is the inheritance of the son from the father, but ......"

Xiang Qingyun sighed leisurely, and said with great emotion: "If you think about it deeply, this is the solidification of the class!" ”

"Don't hide it from Uncle Li, my family is a businessman, and I have some silver. Therefore, my children of the Xiang family, even if they are women, can go to the school or private school. ”

"When they become adults, men are basically in business, and women will basically marry the children of a businessman, but we have one more choice, just like me, we can go to the scientific examination, and if you can be named on the gold list, you can also enter the court as an official and enter the official career."

"But they don't have a choice!"

"Every morning they wake up, all they want is to catch a few more fish today."

Li Chenan was impressed by Xiang Qingyun's words.

"The Xiang clan in Yuzhou is also a wealthy family in Yuzhou, how can you know this?"

Xiang Qingyun smiled slightly:

"My family also buys fish!"

"The boy who delivered fish to my house is called Runshui."

"About my age, we used to be very good friends."

"I even spent two days on his fishing boat."

"Hey...... When we were both young, he taught me how to cast nets, taught me to swim, and even taught me how to kill and cook fish. ”

"I'm very happy and I want to help him. So when he came to my house to deliver fish, I would always ask the housekeeper to give him a few more copper plates, but he would never take more. ”

"Later, when I was busy with my studies, he still sent fish to my family every once in a while, but it was difficult to meet again."

"And then ...... We have both grown up, I have passed the exam, and it is said that he has also married a wife. ”

"A few days ago, he came to my house to deliver fish, and when we met, we found that we didn't know what to say."

"He called me sir...... Lift people, sir. ”

"I felt like my heart was tingling, and I felt like I could never go back to the way I was."

"So, I've been thinking, how can people like Runshui change their fate?"

"I can't think of it, because he doesn't seem to know anything but repairing boats and fishing."

"Until the regent's new policy was introduced to Shuzhou, after I heard my grandfather talk about the content of the new policy, I thought this should be the best way!"

"Boost industry and commerce, let merchants' workshops be opened on a large scale, and let a large number of poor people enter the workshops...... Even when it comes to carrying goods, they earn more money than farming or fishing! ”

"For example, if Runshui gets off the boat, if he goes to my family's workshop, maybe through the efforts of the two of them, their children will have the opportunity to enter the school."

"Then even if their descendants can't get fame, at least they can read and settle accounts, and even in the workshop, they can earn more silver."

"I was thinking that if I was lucky enough to meet the regent in Kyoto, I would make a suggestion to him."

Li Chenan was slightly stunned: "What suggestion?" ”

"After the development of commerce, the country will become rich, and at the same time, if the state can allocate some money from the treasury to build a ...... of righteousness."

"The prosperity of a country is not only about silver, but also about the improvement of the people's cognition!"

"And reading, if it can enter the homes of ordinary people, the future of our Ningguo may be better!"

Li Chenan really paid attention to Xiang Qingyun this time.

He was about to say something, but Xiang Qingyun smiled bitterly:

"It's a pity that he's in the West Mountain!"

"An enlightened and far-sighted king like him...... I'm afraid it's hard to have it anymore! ”

"This is my regret, and it is also the regret of the people of Ningguo!"

"This may be the national fortune of Ningguo, and the fate of people like Runshui, when it should be so!"
