Li Xia felt some resentment in Li Yong's tone, his expression calmed down, and he said solemnly: "Don't stop me."
Li Yong smiled and said with a smile: "I have no objection to your marriage."
"But you sounded dissatisfied with me for making my own decisions."
Li Yong said: "Since you admit that you are not my heir, why do you need to emphasize it to me?"
Li Xia said: "Because you don't believe it, you clearly think of me as your son."
"What do you want from me? Looking at my living son in front of me, do you think he is dead?"
Li Xia was silent.
Li Yong sighed imperceptibly and said: "I have never met your Dali wife who has never been to Dali before. She just gave some orders when arranging for food and grass to go south a while ago."
"That was my idea."
"Recalling when you wanted to marry Tang An'an, I told you that since ancient times, marriage matters, parents' orders, and matchmakers' words, all have to be of equal family status." Li Yong said: "Do you still remember her?"
"I don't remember, but I saw it once."
"You don't want to marry Tang An'an anymore?"
Li Xiajian felt that during the conversation, his relationship with Li Yong became a little strange.
He leaned back, shook his head, and said, "You have tempted me too much."
Li Yong asked: "Do you think that little girl has some tricks up her sleeve?"
"Um."
Li Yong smiled bitterly again, but his eyes became kinder and said: "If you ask any questions today, I will be honest and honest. Can you and I... have a heart-to-heart talk? At least, I will never harm you."
"good."
"Do you want to be Nong Zhigao?"
Li Xia said: "You really have too many allusions in your words, I can't understand you."
"Nong Zhigao is similar to Wu Xi. He was defeated by the famous general Di Qing and later went into exile in Dali."
"I don't intend to be Nong Zhigao." Li Xia said seriously.
Both of them are smart people, so some things don't need to be said too clearly. Li Yong thought about it and said: "Before Wu Qian returns to the prime minister, I will try my best to help you...regardless of whether you are my son or not."
Li Xia said: "After Wu Qian returns to the prime minister, I don't recommend you to provide evidence."
"Let's talk about it then." Li Yong asked casually: "Moving more than 100,000 people to Qingfu, how much food do you want?"
"Qingfu County taxes will be exempted for one year." Li Xia explained the matter simply.
"You're not doing it right." Li Yong shook his head and said, "Don't look at Pu Zezhi, Zhu Susun appreciates you, but public is public and private is private. They are still testing how much food Qingfu County can give. Look at Zhang Yuanming's case.
In the salt smuggling case and the smuggling case, how much grain did you embezzle?"
"It's not greedy for ink."
"Listen to me, no matter how good your personal relationship with Pu and Zhu is, don't forget that they are high-ranking officials first, and your friends secondarily. More than 100,000 people were moved to Qingfu County, but they didn't ask for money and food when they should.
What do they think?"
Li Xia said: "I begged for it, but there is really no money or food in Shu.":.
"Xiu, Luzhou has never been captured. Chongqing is an important town, but your small county of Qingfu can't compare. Zhu Xusun calls it poor, but in fact it depends on how willing you are to relocate these more than 100,000 people.
"
At this point, Li Yong sighed: "You want these people so much, it's been seen."
Li Xia shuddered slightly and realized that she really wanted these people.
"How to do?"
"It's just called poverty." Li Yong said, "You have worked so hard to get an official position, and you need to treat yourself more as a minister of the Song Dynasty."
Li Xia was quite enlightened, nodded and said, "I've learned a lesson."
Li Yong said: "Let me handle this for you."
"Thank you very much."
Li Yong waved his hand and said: "You can do it without me, it just depends on how much effort it takes. I can see that you have nothing to ask for from me."
Li Xia really wants nothing from Li Yong.
He bluntly said "I am not your son" and never wanted to use a fake father-son relationship to gain anything, even a little sense of belonging.
As a result, Li Yong became more and more convinced that he just suffered from apathy.
At the beginning, Li Yong also had countless doubts and wanted to explore many things. But with Li Xia's honesty, his doubts turned into helplessness and reluctance.
Everything he wanted to explore was ruthlessly revealed by Li Xia. The only choice Li Yong could make was to let go or not to let go.
Li Xia also felt helpless. He had said everything he needed to say, but he could still force Li Yong to give up.
"Are you worried lately?"
In the early morning of this morning, Gao Mingyue was sitting on the swing, peeling eggs, watching Li Xia finish his exercise, and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that's a little bit."
Li Xia took the egg and looked at Gao Mingyue's slender and white fingers, which looked very beautiful against the egg white.
"Have you encountered a problem? Isn't it going well? Mr. Han also said that you are good at using people. After meeting Mr. Li once, you can make him your confidant and work hard. Even a person as arrogant as the landlord can easily win over you."
Li Xia said: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's not easy to talk about it."
"Okay." Gao Mingyue poured a bowl of milk, smelled it, and frowned slightly after smelling it, and handed it to Li Xia.
"Are you going to the barracks today?"
"Well, come back early tonight and you can continue teaching me Yi."
"Okay, I want to test you. By the way, I heard from Yan Yunyun yesterday that I saw a big bamboo bear on the southern commercial road. It was very beautiful. Qiaoer talked about it all night."
"panda?"
"I've never seen it, and I don't understand it. I've checked the private salt account, and there are no errors or omissions. Yan Yunyun said that he wants to open a few more salt wells, but the sales in Qingfu and Junlian plus the trade route south are still good.
not enough."
"Have you asked her to help arrange the wedding dress?"
Gao Mingyue lowered her head and said, "No... no bride would say this herself."
"Then I'll take care of the arrangements."
"Um... didn't the second brother say that he would come and do it for us after he established himself in Weining?"
"Ignore him. We are fighting every year. It's rare that we have a little leisure time recently... You should also take a sip."
"Don't drink it, it's too bad."
"You can become whiter after drinking it."
Gao Mingyue looked at Li Xia, her eyes seemed to be disbelieving but also a little moved.
Li Xia handed the bowl to her and let her take a sip. The thought of getting married as soon as possible came up again.
There was only a short period of time every morning where he could talk like this. When there was a banging sound from the front office, Li Xia changed into his official uniform and went over to handle a few official matters before heading to Qingfu Military Camp.
Nowadays, Qingfu County is undergoing large-scale construction projects everywhere, and two more arch bridges have been built on the Fujiang River.
After passing the arch bridge, a new city is being built on the east bank, and refugees have begun to move in from Xuzhou, creating a busy scene.
Although Li Xia assigned these matters to the chief clerk and staff, he still took time to chat with the refugees in person every day.
He did not wear official robes or armor, only commoners, and would often find people to ask about their accommodation, relief and other matters.
"I have porridge every day and I don't eat enough. It's good to be able to survive. But little brother, I tell you, this city is not safe if it is built by the river. It has to be built on the top of the mountain. What do you think of those people here?
An official..."
"Don't worry, old man, Qingfu County is bordered by the Yangtze River to the north, mountains to the south, and there are soldiers and horses stationed there. The Mongolian army will not attack us."
"Hey, little kid, can this old man believe you? There are no city walls, it's so frustrating..."
Such knowledgeable old men are often only a minority. The more refugees are mostly tired and numb, their eyes are dull, and they seem to have no strength to speak. They only look at the rows of newly built houses when they see them.
Bright, bright.
Li Xia walked to Qingfu Camp and saw rows of new soldiers carrying wood and stones under the guidance of the general.
This is what Li Yong discussed with him. Instead of training the new soldiers and letting them waste their efforts, it is better to do some work... It can be regarded as an expedient measure.
But this is just physical training in the morning. Afterwards, these recruits will have to practice fighting, horse archery, first aid, literacy, etc.
Li Xia has always liked to do military training himself, and would come over every day whenever he was free.
Some people in Qingfu's army said privately: "Li Zhixian is not like a magistrate, but more like a general."
"What are you talking about? Li Zhixian will be the commander-in-chief of Shu in the future..."
On this day, Li Xia was busy in the camp until evening again, and Li Yong came to see him again.
The two of them have met more often recently, and they are obviously a little embarrassed about each other, but Li Yong prefers to come.
"The workshop has made a batch of armor. Come and report to the magistrate."
"Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work. Let's move it to the arsenal. Let's go and take a look."
Li Yong didn't look like he was having a hard time. He waved his hand and said, "It was still more complicated when I was an official in Yuhang. The people here are simple and there are very few troubles."
The two walked side by side, Li Xia was already taller than Li Yong, and you could see the white hair on his head when he turned his head.
When he went to the arsenal and looked at the armor and equipment, seeing no one around him, Li Yong sighed slightly and said, "If you have time, please advise your eldest brother."
Li Xia glanced at him lightly.
Li Yong always talks like this recently, "your eldest brother, your aunt" as if Li Xia is his son, and Li Xia can't do anything to him.
"What's up with him?"
"My mind is always on small things about cooking, and I don't want to make progress." Li Yong said: "Zhaocheng is talented and smart, and he can help you in the future. If you ask him to help with something, he will listen."
"Um."
Li Yong said: "When I saw Li Zhixian's face, I couldn't help but regard you as my son. Don't blame me, Zhixian."
"There's no need to be sorry." Li Xia said with a straight face, "I know you did it on purpose."
"You saw it." Li Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the warehouse.
"By the way, can you do something for me again?"
"The magistrate, please speak."
Li Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Can you help me prepare for my marriage?"
Li Yong didn't turn around, and turned his back to Li Xia, saying: "The three books and six etiquettes are really troublesome, so let Liu Niang go to the county government office tomorrow."
"Thank you very much."
Li Yong didn't look back, he stepped over the threshold, raised his head, and couldn't help but smile.
