Chapter 48: Cai Jing's Letter

Cai Yan did not ask about the question of whether it was stupid or not. He saw two ponies in red and black, and saw the stables full of horses, his mouth never closed. He was very satisfied with Boss Su's ability to do things. He also had an additional riding and shooting in his course sheet. This was also a collective objection between the old people who were gray-haired, which triggered his great dissatisfaction. He even doubted whether these people's intentions were to be with the school, the Song Dynasty, or the Liao Kingdom.

If you are so swearing, you can't be soft, so be tough!

Cai Yan had never rode a horse, and had never rode a horse in his past and present life. The first time he stood in front of the old horse who could not stop sniffing, he felt very scared, but when he thought of the misery in the future, he still suppressed the panic in his heart, and climbed onto the war horse with the help of Saner, and led it to a walk in the schoolyard behind the school.

San'er was not old. Looking at Sanshilangdang, she was actually only twenty-five years old. She was originally a horse slave in the Liao Kingdom. She fled to Daming Mansion because she had raised horses to death. The Hairui Business Company transported Gangchen from Jiangnan to Bianjing. Then she would go north to Daming Mansion and trade with the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, some people who were familiar with the Liao Kingdom were needed. San'er also became a member of the Hairui Business Company and came to Hangzhou with the horses.

"San'er, in the future, you can teach riding and shooting in the school. The treatment is high and respectful. You can find a good family to get married in the future."

Cai Yan sat in the saddle of a deep horse, and his little hand holding the reins seemed a little stiff. Saner would speak from time to time to let him relax, saying words like "Young master is nervous, and the horse will follow you nervous."

Listening to his words, San'er couldn't help but smile and said, "The villain's life is given by the old man. What does the young master say and what does San'er do."

Listening to his answer, Cai Yan was very satisfied and smiled: "San'er is indeed loyal and righteous, which is far more pleasant than those angry professors."

San'er smiled and said, "The Young Master may have thought it was a bad idea. They were originally just Xiao's armored slaves, and they didn't dare to ignore the Young Master. Perhaps the treatment given by the Young Master was too good. The Young Master was a little younger, so they dared to be arrogant, and the Young Master's three-year contract."

Cai Yan was stunned. He still understood the principle of "Shengmien Fighting Mie" and "The treatment is too good, but those people will feel that their children are easy to bully, but the same treatment is also given to various schools in Suzhou. In order to prove something to others, they are given generous treatment. But what does this have to do with "three years"?

Cai Yan couldn't figure it out for a moment. San'er said while holding a war horse, "San'er is from Yizhou, Liao. He had to flee into the territory of Song because his horse died of illness. However, San'er is not from Song after all, and there is no way to guide him. He is not familiar with the place. Who would be willing to protect me? Even if he has some strength, he is willing to sell some strength. Others are worried, worried that San'er is a detailed worker in Liao. He is worried that he has been involved in a lawsuit and no one has hired him. San'er can only stay on the street and become a beggar."

San'er grinned again.

"Maybe it was because of the care of her deceased parents that San'er met the old man, and San'er survived."

"San'er is from Liao. Those gentlemen and teachers are also from Liao. The young master allowed them to be free in three years, but three years later, they left the young master's protection, who would be willing to recruit them? San'er thinks... maybe they would rather stay in the school for the rest of their lives."

Cai Yan was silent for a while, and had never thought about these things before. In his opinion, although there were countless scholars in the Song Dynasty, there were still countless people who didn’t know the pen and ink and could know the writing and sentences. As long as he was willing, it would be easier to find a job. If it really didn’t work, it would be just a rural man.

He instinctively thought that the greatest tragedy in life was the loss of freedom. He never thought that they really regarded freedom as more important than life?

Cai Yan felt in his heart that San'er was right and he took it for granted. The two of them were riding horses on the school grounds. Lu Tao was very nervous, fearing that he would fall from his horse and never leave the maroon horse.

“Green peach.”

The voice came from behind and Lu Tao seemed to be frightened. When she turned around, she saw that it was Gu Qinniang, and she looked a little hesitant.

"Gu...Sister Gu."

Looking at the little girl who lowered her head and dodged, Gu Qinniang felt a little emotional, but her face was full of gentleness.

"Mrs. I asked someone to send a letter saying that it was from the capital and I asked the mountain leader to deal with it."

"Oh~"

Lu Tao didn't dare to raise her head, and turned around and ran towards Cai Yan who was walking. Looking at her anxious appearance, she seemed to be away from something, Gu Qinniang sighed again.

Cai Yan had already suppressed his fear and rode a horse. If Lu Tao was beside him, he could not concentrate. He drove the little girl far away early in the morning. Seeing her gust of wind coming, he couldn't help but look at the woman standing quietly in front of the moon gate in the distance, and his eyebrows bulged. He knew that if there was no need, the woman would not want to stay by his side.

really……

"Young Master, the letter from the Master of the Capital!"

...

The Su family lost many fields and shops, and the shops were all relaxed. It was rare to have time to sew clothes for their son. The four maids of spring flowers, summer lotus, autumn moon and winter plum were dealing with the fields and shops that Cai Yanmaibo Huainan saltba were taking care of when he was processing Huainan salt.

Su Mei rubbed her tired and sour phoenix eyes, Chunhua brought the tea to her and said, "The master wants the young master to go to Kaifeng. If you have the master to take care of her, Chunhua also thinks it is good."

Su Mei lowered her head and bit off the thread, flipped her clothes and checked it again. Then she folded it and placed it aside. She took the tea and drank it in a small way from Chunhua. She said undeniably: "Lan'er is an independent child. When she returned to Tokyo, it is good for Mr. Cai to take care of her and teach her personally, but how did she think about it?"

Su Mei shook her head slightly. During this period, she felt that her son was becoming more and more unfamiliar. She was very sure that the children in the school were their own children, and she felt a kind of warmth that was intimate and warm, and sometimes she couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

After a trance, a sound of running outside the door came into the room. Listening to the "Empress"'s eagerness, Su Mei's lips raised a beautiful curve slightly.

"Mom...Mom..."

Cai Yan carried his robe in one hand and broke into Su Mei's room with a gust of wind. He was not surprised to see the four major accountants maids in the inner room.

"Mom, you won't be really fooled by Lao Cai, right?"

Cai Yan said this nonsensely, and Su Mei and Su were stunned and made a slight note as he climbed onto the bed.

"It's just nonsense."

"But... Mom thought about it carefully. What Lao Cai said was not wrong. What my son couldn't let go was the school. There were not many boys in the school to study. Besides, my son also had a headache for those Liao men?"

Cai Yan lamented in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Mom, what you listen to, Bianjing is definitely a trap. Today, my mother and [Liangcheng www.wsx5.cn] are not recognized by Hangzhou, but people's hearts will be seen over time. Hangzhou will eventually recognize us. Once we leave, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Hangzhou in the future. Perhaps... although the world is big, there is no place for us mother and son to settle down."

Su Mei's expression suddenly became solemn, and the four maids were also stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Seeing them like this, Cai Yan felt even more distressed. Some things were impossible to say. Even if he said them, he would either be labeled as "abusive" or ridiculed as a fool. He had no choice but to bring the topic to their current situation.

"I won't talk about my mother's status in the Cai family. Old Grand Master Cai was able to marry her. As the child thought, Old Grand Master Cai didn't have any kindness."

"Our dynasty is far less powerful than the Han and Tang dynasties. The territory has been reduced by more than half, but the taxes are better than those of the previous dynasties. These taxes are borne by ordinary people, but today's taxes are becoming less than ineffective. If you want to increase taxes, it is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure."

"Open source, increase the source of the people, increase taxes from the people, expand land outward, increase taxes, and increase tax sources, so as to increase tax sources... Lao Cai is releasing money, so it is impossible to reduce money."

Officials like luxury and love strange flowers and plants. Although the flowers and stone groups cost a lot, they cannot help but say that the court injects money into the people.

The Song Dynasty had heavy taxes, just like a bucket of water. The court had to take out more than half of the water source in the bucket every year. If it only took but did not inject it, the water in the bucket would only decrease and the taxes the court could get would also decrease.

Cai Jing used all means to make the power. Whether it was Wang Anshi, the reformists of Xining, Sima Guang's Yuanyou conservatives, Cai Jing betrayed them without hesitation at a critical moment. Cai Jing has not seen the cunning Cai Jing so far, but he cannot help but admit his insanity and cleverness. He can only see the woman in front of him.

Looking up at Su Mei for a long time, she found that there were some wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, and there was a trace of white between her black hair. She stretched out her little hand to pinch a piece of white hair...

"The old village fought with the Guyue barbarians in the mountains for 10 or 20 years, and there were countless casualties during this period. The two sides were full of resentment. If the old village really became a people under the rule of the court, they still had a 'pirate' identity. In this way... When the two sides were exhausted from the battle, the court sent troops to clear out the Liuqiu's 'pirates'. One was black-faced and the other was white-faced, and they beat and pulled, and the court could take over the gratitude of the barbarians in the mountains."

"The fisherman gained benefits from fighting against the snipe and clam. Old Grand Master Cai did not give his mother a way out since the beginning. He was just the abandoned son of the Cai family at the beginning."

Su Mei was silent, Cai Yan smiled bitterly and sighed.

"The child doesn't want to hide it from his mother, but some things are too... too strange. The child doesn't know what's wrong with his head. It seems that he knows some things and some ominous things that will happen in the future, but there is no way to tell them."

Cai Huang pointed his little finger at the sky.

"God will be angry."

Another sigh.

"With my mother's intelligence, I think we can see the dangers that Lao Cai and the Cai family will face in the future. When people are in their positions and hold the power of life and death, they will be full of glory and charming flowers. How can they be red for a hundred days?"

"The Song Dynasty did not have the habit of killing important officials in the court. Others could pat their butts and leave. If the Cai family fails, it is not a child who exaggerates, it is really not a success!"

Thinking about what will happen in the future, thinking about Cai Jing being starved to death halfway, thinking about being in the Jin Kingdom, thinking about being lingering like a dog, anger and sorrow arose inexplicably in his heart. He could not understand that the Song Dynasty was just slightly touched by the Jin Kingdom, and the giant collapsed in an instant.
