Chapter 324

What is sharing worries?

Author: Potato Sweet Potato Pie

What is sharing worries?

Li's mansion looks quite simple.

But no matter how frugal it is, it is still the Zaifu's house. The Zaifu's house is not a public toilet. You cannot enter just when you want. According to the rules, you must first hand over a greeting card.

The carriage stopped in front of the Li Mansion. Xia Yuan sat in the carriage and did not rush out. Lao Wang handed the name sticker to the concierge.

In the side bedroom in the main room of Li Mansion, Li Dongyang had just enjoyed a medicinal bath, applied medicine again, and was half-lying on the couch with his buttocks naked.

There was a sound of footsteps in the main room. When he reached the door, he naturally stopped and called towards the bedroom: "Master."

"Didn't I say not to disturb you?" Li Dongyang frowned at first, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Someone handed over a greeting card outside the house, saying that they came to visit the master. The name card said that Young Master Zhan of the East Palace is responsible for Xia Yuan."

Xia Yuan?

Li Dongyang was stunned, what is this guy doing?

Secretly speculating in his heart, he turned around and said: "Let Zhaofan go and receive you first. I will come later. Remember, don't be slow."

"yes."

Hearing the people outside walking out, Li Dongyang reached out and touched the back of his head. His mouth twitched in pain. The medicine hadn't dried yet, so he had to wait a while.

Sitting in front of him was a young man in his early twenties, fairly good-looking, Li Dongyang's son, named Li Zhaofan.

Xia Yuan stared at him. Li Zhaofan was obviously shy and felt a little embarrassed to be looked at. He asked, "I wonder why Mr. Xia keeps staring at me?"

"Oh, nothing."

Xia Yuan looked away and started to sip the tea cup.

Li Dongyang's appearance is famous for his unattractive appearance, and this unattractive appearance is a euphemism, but it is actually ugly.

But this Li Zhaofan looks pretty decent, and there is nothing similar to Li Dongyang in his eyebrows, nose, or mouth.

From a genetic point of view, it really makes people doubt that this Li Zhaofan is a genetically modified product. Does the Li family have the legendary Dabao Expressway or the Machu Expressway?

Of course, it is inconvenient to ask, and it is really rude.

And that's not what he came here to ask.

"When can your lord come out?"

"I'm afraid I have to trouble Mr. Xia to wait any longer. It's not convenient for my father to see guests at this time."

"Inconvenient? Why is it inconvenient?"

Li Zhaofan thought for a while and said vaguely: "Father is taking medicine."

"Medicine? Your father is sick?"

"There are some symptoms, but it's nothing to worry about. It's a chronic disease."

Seeing that Li Zhaofan didn't seem to want to say more, Xia Yuan didn't ask any more questions, not to mention that he had probably guessed it.

When he was in Puzhou, although the job assigned to Li Dongyang was not dignified and he was a very noble treasury manager, at least it was equipped with a chair and desk. After all, he was the boss of the cabinet and could not let anyone stand.

But every time I go there, I can always see Li Dongyang standing there calculating the dishes.

If you refuse to sit on a chair but insist on standing, it means there are either nails on the chair or hemorrhoids on your buttocks.

Even though he has a big mole, he still shines for the Ming Dynasty, which is really admirable.

After waiting for a while, Li Dongyang finally walked into the front hall. Xia Yuan quickly stood up and saluted Li Dongyang with a serious expression.

"I have met Mr. Li Ge."

Li Dongyang was wearing a loose robe, like a Taoist robe. When he saw Xia Yuan saluting, he immediately quickened his pace, walked closer and lifted him up with both hands, "I was just delayed by some trivial matters, but Lao Xia Zhan Shijiu

It's really disrespectful, I would like to apologize to you."

"Mr. Li Ge has really disgraced his subordinates. He cannot bear the responsibility."

Xia Yuan behaved very politely, and Li Dongyang behaved very enthusiastically, pulling him to sit down on the chair, "Xia Zhan, why did you come here?"

"I want to visit Mr. Li Ge and have a chat with you. I admire Mr. Li the most."

Li Dongyang didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in his words, but he still had a warm smile on his face, "But you came here to build a road?"

"Yes and no."

"how do I say this?"

As he said that, Li Dongyang glanced to the side. Li Zhaofan understood, saluted the two of them, and then silently retreated.

Xia Yuan did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "Mr. Li Ge, I would like to give you some advice. What do you think is the most important thing for an official or a minister?"

Seeing him asking such a question in such a serious manner, Li Dongyang did not answer hastily. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Be loyal to the king and the country."

"When the younger generation gives advice to the elder, should I be loyal to the emperor first or serve the country first?"

This question is wrong no matter how you answer it. Li Dongyang stopped answering this time and just looked at him. After a moment, he threw the question back, "What do you think Xia Zhan is?"

Xia Yuan sorted out his words in his mind and said slowly: "In the opinion of the younger generation, if the king wants to do something that is harmful to the country, then he must be advised; if the king is unwilling to do something that is beneficial to the country,

You still have to give advice; you are loyal to the king and you are serving the country, so there is no need to prioritize."

"And when something is beneficial to the country and the king wants to do it, then what the ministers should do is follow the order and do it instead of opposing it. What does Mr. Li Ge think?"

"Xia Zhanshi thinks building roads will be beneficial to the country?"

"At least the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Xia Zhanshi" Li Dongyang said with a sigh, "No matter how good it is, but the national treasury has no money, how can we implement it? Xia Zhanshi should think more about the situation of the country, rather than just do it on the fly.

"

"The younger generation admits that what Mr. Li Ge said is right. However, the younger generation feels that the most important thing for an official or a minister is to uphold the country and care for the people. It is even more imperative to share the worries of the king and the country. Li Ge

Do you think what this junior said is right?"

Li Dongyang was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Since Mr. Li Ge thinks that the younger generation is right, what does Mr. Li Ge think is sharing of worries?"

Before Li Dongyang could reply, Xia Yuan thought to himself: "There is no money in the national treasury, and what I should think about is how to make money in the treasury. This is called sharing worries. If road construction, a matter that is beneficial to the country, cannot be carried out, I should think about it."

What we are thinking about is how to solve the difficulties and carry out the matter smoothly. This is also called sharing worries."

"Li Ge is old and prudent, and always has various considerations in everything. When he is a new official, he is not as thoughtful as Ge Lao Wan Yi.

But Xia Guan believes that everything depends on man, and man can conquer nature. No matter what the world is, there is always a way to solve it, whether it is easy or difficult. If you find it difficult, just give up. If you say you can't do it, just give it up.

This is not sharing worries, it is just retreating. Real sharing of worries should be to face difficulties and solve them."

Li Dongyang's face lost its warmth and became solemn, staring closely into Xia Yuan's eyes, "Then Xia Zhan, tell me, how to solve this difficulty?"

Xia Yuan did not reply, but asked: "Does Mr. Li Ge have some free time now?"

"I have."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Li Ge can invite Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Xie Ge?"

Hearing this, Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "You not only want to convince me, but you also want to convince Liu Gong and Xie Gong?"

"yes."

"I'm not good at words, but Mr. Xie is famous for his eloquence. I'm afraid you won't be able to convince him."

"Xie Gong is eloquent, but I just want to clarify the truth with him, and I don't want to argue with Xie Gong."

Li Dongyang looked at him deeply, and finally said calmly: "That's okay, I will send someone to help you invite them."

"No need to go to such trouble, let's just invite these two pavilion elders along the way."

"On your way?"

Li Dongyang was startled, "Where are you taking me?"

"Eastern Suburbs."
