Chapter One Thousand and Three: Taishi Li's Worries
"I once heard a strange person say that the life span of the world's dynasties cannot last more than three hundred years. Looking at the root cause..."
Rushing back to the county government office, Zhao Weimin wrote a book of ten thousand words eloquently and eloquently at night. When he raised his head and narrowed his eyes, the sun outside the window was dazzling!
"Its daybreak!"
Rubbing his blood-red eyes, Zhao Weimin washed his face and prepared to copy the article into the memorial.
Suddenly a servant came to report: "Master, the second young master of the Li family is here!"
Zhao Weimin stood up: "Please come quickly!"
The servant ran out.
Li Sansi held a food box in his hand, put it on the table, opened it, took out a bowl of white meatballs with clear soup, and said with a smile: "Brother Weimin, a delicacy has recently appeared in Fu County. I specially bought some for you to try.
.”
Zhao Weimin took a sip and said in surprise: "It's so fresh. I dare to ask Brother Wuyou what this delicacy is made of. Why have I never seen it before?"
Li Sansi said: "It just opened in the county a few days ago. These meatballs are made of fish. They taste chewy and the soup is still fresh when you drink it. That shop is very interesting."
"Well, the fish balls are chewy and the soup is very fresh. It's really delicious!"
After eating a fish ball and a sip of soup, Zhao Weimin became interested and said, "Brother Wuyou is interested in a fish ball shop. It must be extraordinary?"
"In general stores, there is only one shopkeeper, and the rest are all assistants!"
Li Sansi clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "As for Fu County Fish Ball, there are a total of eight people in it, all of them are shopkeepers, and all of them are clerks. Everyone has the same stock, and everyone makes money. In their words, we work together and work together."
rich!"
Zhao Weimin chuckled: "I never thought that a small fish ball shop could embrace the idea of university in the world!"
"Yes, that's what it means!"
Li Sansi sighed sadly: "But this is not the most novel thing. The most novel Fuxian fish balls only sell 400 bowls a day. When they are sold out, they close the door and refuse customers. No matter how much you pay for a bowl, they will not sell more.
!”
Zhao Weimin's eyes lit up: "Things are vaguely expensive and can be bought with money. Everyone quickly loses interest. Only with this restriction can the business last for a long time. Among the eight shopkeepers, there are some experts!"
Li Sansi shook his head: "I went to the store once. Although the eight assistants and shopkeepers are very smart, they are not experts, but there must be experts behind them. But no matter how I ask, they all refuse to tell me."
"I didn't expect that Xiaoxiaofu County is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. I met my husband not long ago, and now my dear brother has met another one!"
Zhao Weimin laughed loudly, finished eating the fish balls and said: "Brother Wuyou, if you show your courtesy for nothing, you must have a purpose. I stayed up all night for my brother, so if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Sansi laughed and said: "I can't hide anything from you, brother Weimin, so you're welcome. The Dinglongtai Poetry Recital will start in half a month. This time, the great scholar Mr. Haitian will be the host. I heard that you and he have been friends for many years.
I would like to ask you to write a letter of recommendation and ask for a spot!"
"I had contacts with Mr. Haitian in the capital five years ago, so it's natural to write a letter of recommendation!"
Zhao Weimin chuckled and nodded: "Brother Wuyou, this letter is for your husband, right?"
The Dinglongtai Poetry Meeting was held three years ago and became extremely famous in Daye.
However, in recent years, the territory of Daye has been invaded and Jiushan County has become a frontier.
There are fewer talented people coming, but they still require Juren to participate.
However, great Confucian scholars will provide additional quotas to support younger students.
He had already inquired about the relationship between Wang Yuan and the Li family, and felt that Li Sansi was Wang Yuan's second company.
"Ahem!"
Li Sansi coughed in embarrassment: "He is now focused on petty profits and has stopped studying for a long time. I am asking for this letter of recommendation from my virtuous brother Jianye. He wants to go to Dinglongtai with me. Please do me a favor for the people."
Brother, it’s all right!”
Zhao Weiming frowned: "Brother Wuyou, I don't understand why you don't think highly of Mr. Liu? But you are close to Liu Jianye, who has low moral character? Mr. Liu Jianye is a man of extraordinary talent, ten thousand times more than Liu Jianye! Mr. and your sister, a talented man and a beautiful woman, are a match made in heaven. They are really a match made in heaven.
The virtuous son-in-law of the Li family!"
"Brother Weimin, you were fooled by his strategy of tearing down the wall and those four quatrains. I still don't know how talented he is. He couldn't even pass the exam. Now he only wants to hang out with the villagers. How can he still be successful?"
What a prospect!"
Li Sansi scoffed!
I have been investigating Wang Yuan these days and found that he really led the villagers to fish and sell fish, which made him so angry that he was so angry.
There is a strict hierarchy among farmers, industry, and commerce in the big industry. No matter how rich the merchants are, they can't get on the stage!
How could the son-in-law of the Li family be a fisherman or merchant with a lowly profession?
"Brother Wuyou, you don't understand me too well. Just look at this!"
Zhao Weimin frowned when he heard this, took out the written Wanyan book and handed it over.
"What? The dynasty is limited to three hundred years...This, this seems to be true...the solidification of classes and the lack of finances...the solution...dividing the peasants into acres, and the officials and gentry sharing the food together!"
Li Sansi felt chills running down his spine: "Brother Weimin, who came up with this plan?"
Zhao Weimin squinted his eyes: "I went to Wangcun yesterday. This is the teacher's teaching!"
"What, it's him!"
Li Sansi was furious: "He is so courageous to come up with such a plan. This is to make enemies of the officials and gentry in the world. This is to ruin the future of scholars. If this plan is spread, others will know that he has nothing to do with the Li family."
Because of the relationship, my father will be implicated again and unable to stand up."
Zhao Weimin frowned: "Don't panic, brother Wuyou, I will do this in my name, I won't write his name, and it will definitely not involve the Li family!"
Li Sansi cupped his fists and bowed his head: "Thank you so much, brother Weimin!"
Zhao Weimin narrowed his eyes: "Putting aside personal interests, I wonder what Brother Wuyou thinks of this strategy, and whether it will save the great cause and extend the life of the dynasty for another hundred years if it is implemented!"
"...If this strategy is really implemented, it will certainly be possible!"
Li Sansi pondered for a long time: "But brother for the people, not every scholar is like you. You want to establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations. No matter how long the great cause lasts, if you cannot give preferential treatment to scholars,
Who is willing to sacrifice his life for the imperial court?"
Zhao Weimin smiled bitterly!
Also, who is still working for the imperial court? All the princes are fighting for power and profit!
Even the emperor destroyed the country's most important weapons, such as the Black Armored Army, in order to eliminate dissidents.
Otherwise, how could our great cause be accomplished by being forced to this point by desolate people!
Li Sansi urged: "Brother for the people, please write a letter of recommendation quickly. No matter how much you praise him, I always think highly of Jianye, a good brother. Not to mention that the family has more money, he will gain fame in the future. With a little cultivation, he will be the pillar of the country!"
"
"The pillar of the country!"
Zhao Weimin smiled and picked up the pen. He stopped making any excuses and wrote a letter of recommendation.
Li Sansi took the letter and left happily.
Zhao Weimin wrote again: "Brother Haitian, I am working in Fu County and found a young man with great knowledge and talent... Dinglongtai Poetry Club, I hope you will take care of me..."
…
"Clan, clan leader, there is something I feel I must tell you!"
In Dawangzhuang, a young man approached Wang Bizhong, and he was trembling when he spoke!
"The army!"
Wang Bizhong glanced at him, twirling his goatee with one hand, and said in a strange tone: "Didn't you join the fishing team and make money under Wang Yuan? What should you tell him if you have anything to do? What's the use of looking for me as the leader of the clan!
"
These days, power in Dawang Village is shifting.
No one listens to the words of the clan leader. Not to mention that he is not as good as Wang Yuan and Wang Hanshan, but even Dahu, Erhu, Wang Sihai and Wang Ergou are not as good as him.
Therefore, when meeting Wang Yuan's subordinates, they will speak in a strange manner!
"This is unusual!"
Wang Dajun said solemnly: "Those people who are often with the Guo Cang brothers these days, I happened to hear them talking once and discovered their true identities!"
Feeling that the matter was serious, Wang Bizhong narrowed his eyes and asked: "What is your identity?"
Wang Dajun's teeth chattered: "He, they are bandits from Sanhu Village who came to check on the enemy!"
"What?"
Wang Bizhong screamed and his teeth began to chatter: "He, whose fault are they stepping on!"
Bandits usually target wealthy people. He is the richest man in Dawang Village, followed by Wang Yuan.
If Sanhu Village steps on him, his family's accumulated money and food will be in danger!
"I'm not stepping on you!"
Wang Dajun whispered: "They came to step on Wang Yuan's point, but it seems that they were bribed by Wang Yuan again, but the bandits from Sanhu Village keep coming."
Wang Bizhong frowned: "Then what do you mean by telling me this!"
Wang Dajun looked like he was about to cry: "I want you to make an idea, otherwise when the bandits come, Wang Yuan has a carriage to run away, and Da Hu, Er Hu, and the three brothers of the Guo family will protect him in case the bandits come.
Without him, killing people randomly in the village would be a disaster for us!"
"Yes, the bandits are here to kill him, but we have to bear the risk. No, this can't be done. Army, go tell everyone and let's go find him together!"
Wang Bizhong's eyes were excited.
Finally seizing the opportunity, I was able to severely defeat the family's prestige and restore the majesty of the clan leader!
