Shao Xi took out a silver ticket of one hundred gold and put it in front of Tao Qingyun, making Tao Qingyun stunned, I don't know what Shao Xi's intention is.

Shao Xi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Originally, you helped the local poor people in Nanshui County, but now you saved your own money in order to invite me to drink this wine, isn't it a loss to the local people?" Take this 100 gold, keep a little for yourself to improve your life, and use the rest to help the people who are living in poverty! It's also a little bit of something that this official does for your Nanshui County. You can't shirk this matter, otherwise you will ignore the life and death of the people, and die to protect your official reputation, and if you do this, the officials will look down on you. ”

Seeing that Shao Xi blocked the conversation to death, Tao Qingyun couldn't cry or laugh, it seemed that it was really not possible to not collect this hundred gold, so he thanked Shao Xi for the local people and put the silver ticket in his arms.

For him, this 100 gold silver ticket is the biggest wealth he has ever seen in his life, according to the extent to which he helps the local people on weekdays, I don't know how many people will be helped with so much silver?

Shao Xi's move also moved Tao Qingyun, he didn't expect that he had lived a handful of years, and he was not as good as the young man in front of him, Tao Qingyun really felt a little untimely at this time.

Shao Xi saw the emotion in Tao Qingyun's heart at this time, so he picked up the wine glass, toasted Tao Qingyun and said: "Lord Tao has the heart to work for the benefit of the people, then this official will definitely create more convenience for Lord Tao within his ability, so that Lord Tao will have more opportunities to do more things for the Jingyuan court and the people." You can rest assured that you will be your county guard here, and when I return to the court, I will find a suitable opportunity to recommend to the Holy Lord. It's a waste for an official like you to be trapped in this small county in the south, and you should do more. ”

Tao Qingyun saw that Shao Xi intended to recommend himself in front of the saint, and was immediately moved, picked up the wine glass and got up to toast Shao Xi, and kept expressing his gratitude to Shao Xi and his determination to do his best for the Jingyuan court and the people.

Looking at Tao Qingyun in front of him, and thinking about Cui Qi in Yujiang County, Shao Xi was also quite emotional in his heart.

Why is it so difficult for officials who are really willing to do things for the people to advance upwards, while those mediocre people who are vegetarian can easily walk above the court? Isn't it because of profit?

Above the officialdom, one person gains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

In order to safeguard their own interests, everyone is cronyistic, and they also say that they are virtuous and do not avoid relatives, but in fact, they are not engaged in small circles and family forces? In order to make the power in their hands more and more huge, and the benefits obtained are more and more abundant.

Excluding all those who have no background and no backing from the circle, they simply forget that the fundamental purpose of being an official is to make the country strong and the people rich.

Ignoring the interests of the court and the people for his own selfishness, such a person is the most despised by Shao Xi, but there are the most such people in the court, so Shao Xi wants to do his best to change this status quo, at least let these officials in the court who ask for their lives for the people exist, otherwise the court will be corrupt and the country will not be a country.

Shao Xi and the three of them were arranged by Tao Qingyun to live in the county guard mansion that night, just as Tao Qingyun promised before Shao Xi and the others went to Nanzhao, the biggest and best room was reserved for them in the county guard mansion.

Shao Xi instructed Tao Qingyun to prepare a big ship for himself, and he planned to board the ship early the next morning and go north along the waterway to Yuzhou, and then ride a horse to Lingyu Mountain by land after entering Yuzhou.

Although Tao Qingyun was reluctant to keep Shao Xi for a longer time, he also knew that Shao Xi still had important things to do, and it was inconvenient to keep him, so he arranged the largest official ship in Nanshui County to Shao Xi.

This night, the two also had a long talk, talking about major events in the world, about governing the country, and about the suffering of the people, Tao Qingyun's enthusiasm also moved Shao Xi more deeply, and strengthened his determination to recommend this person after returning to Beijing.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shao Xi and the three of them boarded the boat and set off for Yuzhou, Tao Qingyun said goodbye to a few people, and then stood on the ferry and watched the boat gradually move away, feeling a little sad in his heart.

As a county guard in this remote Nanshui county, I originally thought that there would be no way to advance in this life, as long as I took good care of the local people, it was my life's duty, but I never dreamed that I would meet such a young and promising person.

Although the time spent together is short, the two are extremely speculative, and now seeing Shao Xi gone, I don't know when and what month we can see each other again, Tao Qingyun can only sigh that life is scattered and impermanent.

Seeing Shao Xi's boat gradually disappear, Tao Qingyun sighed and turned around and returned to the county guard's mansion.

In any case, the people in this county still need themselves, and they must continue to be good parents of this place, so as to live up to the trust of the people.

Although the official ship that Tao Qingyun arranged for Shao Xi was the largest official ship in Nanshui County, it was much more dilapidated and narrow compared to the official ship he took when he came from Yujiang County, after all, it was only a small county, and this was already the best official ship that Tao Qingyun could find.

After all, Daqing was able to get Daqing on the boat smoothly, which was already good for Shao Xi.

However, although the boat is small, the speed of this boat is not slow at all, just because Tao Qingyun arranged for Shao Xi to be the most experienced boatmen, originally the people of Nanshui County are good at driving boats, plus these people are all veterans, this way the boat is fast and steady, which makes Shao Xi feel very satisfied.

The official boat followed the waterway of the previous one and went north along the Guangling River, passed through Beiling County and returned to the Yujiang River for a while, and then turned north to the Guping River halfway.

Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to get off the boat in Guping County, which they had passed through when they came before, and planned to go north to Lingyu Mountain by land.

After the three of them disembarked with the horses and the big green ox, Shao Xi sent the boatman back, and rode the horse and the green ox north along the river for a while to a small town.

This town happens to guard a lake in the upper reaches of the Guping River, this lake is called Zhiqiu Lake, the lake is wide, and the fog is shrouded all year round, and it looks like a fairyland.

Because the town is facing this lake, the name of the town is also Zhiqiu Town.

After the three of them came to the town, they first went to the only inn in the town to stay, and this inn was actually called Zhiqiu Inn! Shaoqi sighed that the local people are really simple and trouble-free, and they all take Zhiqiu as their name when they live on the shore of Zhiqiu Lake.

After a few people settled down in the inn, Shao Xi wanted to go out for a walk, but Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er didn't want to go shopping, preferring to stay in the inn to drink wine and eat meat, Shao Xi didn't bother to care about them, so he went to the street alone.

At this time, the sky has darkened, and when it comes to the palm lamp, the wine shops, teahouses, song shops, and theaters in the town are lively, and it coincides with the fact that today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and many women go to the Zhiqiu Lake to worship the Weaver Girl.

In fact, there is nothing special about this worship of the Weaver Girl, most of the women have made an appointment with their friends or neighbors in advance, five or six people, up to a dozen or so people jointly organize.

The ceremony is to set up a table under the moonlight, and place tea, wine, fruits, five sons and other offerings on the table, of which the five sons refer to longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, and pray for oneself or for the girls in the family to be ingenious, and to marry a wife in the future to be loved by the in-laws.

There are also groups of women who fight in groups of three or five directly on the street, but they have a lot of fun, and some pairs of red men and green women run to the lake to pray for a happy marriage, this small town is very lively on the night of begging.

Shao Xi walked around for a while and came to a wine shop near the lake, although this wine shop is not big, the name is very elegant, called Meng Yuxuan.

I walked into the wine shop and found a place near the window to sit down, and turned my head just to see the canopy boat floating on the lake with boat lights.

Xiao Er of the wine shop knew that he was not an ordinary guest when he saw Shao Xi's dress, so he hurriedly ran over to greet him. As soon as Shao Xi inquired, it turned out that this seemingly small wine shop had the most famous Huadiao wine in the local area, and the chef's best skill was to roast the mandarin fish produced in this Zhiqiu Lake.

Shao Xi heard that since there was such a local delicacy, it was better to try it, so he ordered a mandarin duck mandarin fish and asked for a pot of flower carvings that had been brewed for ten years.

Xiao Er saw that this is really a distinguished guest, the general guest comes to order a three-year brew, five years of brewing, a slightly more generous guest is at most an eight-year brew, this guest came directly ordered the altar for ten years, it seems that it is indeed a not bad money lord.

So he hurriedly beckoned the kitchen to quickly burn a mandarin duck mandarin fish, and went to the backyard to hold a jar of Huadiao wine for more than ten years, and poured it into the wine cup for Shao Xi after scalding the pot.

Shao Xi took a sip, it was mellow and sweet, the entrance was soft, and he wanted to take a second sip after taking a sip, so he asked Xiao Er to bring the whole jar of flower carvings over and drink it while scalding.

After a while, the cooked mandarin fish was also served, Shao Xi picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but admire the smooth and tender taste, the meat was plump, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, this cook's craftsmanship was really good.

Originally, it was time to eat, and the wine and food were very delicious, Shao Xi unconsciously ate the whole fish on the plate, and he drank most of the flower carvings in the altar.

At this time, he still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he asked Xiao Er to tell the cook to fry two more side dishes, and he planned to drink all the whole jar of flower carvings.

It didn't take long for Shao Xi to drink so much that his ears were hot, his face was ruddy, his eyes were squinting and he was holding a wine cup in his hand, and he actually came to Shixing for a while, and couldn't help but chant casually:

Yun Lingyuan purple dust, Huajin is like a green end.

The breeze and the moon are drunk, and Qionglou dreams of Yuxuan.

When the shopkeeper heard this, this noble man actually wrote a poem to write down all the poems in their wine shop, hurriedly picked up a pen and recorded the poem written by Shao Xi on paper, and personally ran over to thank him.

Shao Xi raised his hand, he was doing it casually, and the shopkeeper was really making a fuss.

At this moment, there was a cheer from the next table.

"Good! Sure enough, it's a good poem! This Huadiao wine is paired with Childe's poems, and it really tastes more delicious. ”
