Sitting in the carriage, Changxian raised the confusion in Tao Yao's heart.
"Master Chu, the student still can't figure it out. Since we want to check taxes and merchants' taxes, why do we want to find Tao Yao to criticize merchants in the scholar forest?"
Chu Qing did not notice that Changxian called Tao Yai by his first name, instead of calling him "Master Tao" as he had just done in Tao Mansion.
Even Changxian himself didn't notice.
It's a bit disrespectful to call someone "Tao Master" in front of their face and "Tai" behind their back.
But in Changxian's subconscious, the word "teacher" means that except Chu Qing, no one else can be his teacher.
Changxian has read a lot of the Four Books and Five Classics.
He has also listened to the Holy Words of His Master a lot.
Every great Confucian, every famous scholar, every master, and every civil servant has these words in his mouth, and his ears are numb when he hears them.
But no one has ever truly taught Changxian the simplest principle, the principle of life.
Everyone says what is right and what is wrong.
But Chu Qing never told Changxian what was right and wrong, but told him straightforwardly what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
After doing what you should do, you can sleep soundly.
If you do something you shouldn't do, how do you make up for it?
A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches, and resolves doubts.
Chu Qing was unable to teach Chang Xian, and the latter had no shortage of people around him who could teach him.
But Chu Qing could solve Chang Xian's confusion, the confusion of life, the confusion of being the second prince, and the confusion of being a human being.
In this way, you can become a teacher and become the "teacher" in Changxian's heart.
As for Tao Yao, a famous scholar, Chang Xian didn't hate or reject him, but he was numb. They were both "teachers", but they couldn't compare with Chu Qing, so he called him by his first name. It was not a disrespect for Tao Yao.
But respect for Chu Qing.
"Why don't you kid understand? Of course it does matter. The two armies have to fight each other before they fight." Chu Qing chuckled: "When we were fighting with the Li family, Lao Qiu was Qiu Wanshan. You know, right?
, look at what Qiu Wanshan did, first carry out a dimensionality reduction attack on reputation, a comprehensive dimensionality reduction attack, it is not that he reduces the dimensionality, but that he brings the Li family to the same moral level as him to attack, in terms of reputation
You understand, this is how we deal with the Li family, and this is how we deal with merchants."
Changxian nodded heavily: "Students understand, fuck the merchants hard!"
This is one of the reasons why Changxian admires Chu Qing.
In the words of others, it is called cutting off the wings of the Li family, bringing order out of chaos, serving the public and the people, and getting rid of national traitors.
Chu Qing only has one word - do it!
Chang Xian felt that the word "gan" was all-encompassing yet concise and precise, and it was extremely accurate. When it came to rectifying this and that, the way to simplicity was to do it.
Chu Qing thought of Tao Yao's 180-degree change in attitude and felt very good. He asked happily: "Second brother, did you see just now that Old Tao is very satisfied with his teacher? He wants to recognize him immediately."
My godfather betrothed his daughter to me, right?"
Changxian thought for a while and was smoothing out the relationship.
Thanks, they should be brothers.
If you recognize your godfather, he should be your adopted father and adopted son.
The betrothed daughter should be the husband-in-law.
That is... to betroth your daughter to a brother, then call the brother your godfather and make the godfather your son-in-law?
Changxian was a little confused and nodded subconsciously: "Yes... right."
Chu Qing rubbed his hands and asked slightly nervously: "Then do you think Tao Ruolin and I are a good match?"
"Not worthy." Changxian shook his head.
Chu Qing was stunned when he heard this and became angry: "Why are you kid..."
"The student feels that the eldest lady of the Tao family is not worthy of Master Chu."
"Why do you kid like to tell the truth so much?" Chu Qing turned from anger to joy: "That's true. Tao Ruolin is a bit too high on me, but even though she has a high vision as a teacher, her life is only a few decades, and she has nothing to gain from being a teacher.
If you use your limited time to serve the country and the people, how can you have so much time to pick and choose your mother-in-law and make do with what you have?"
Changxian said seriously: "Master Chu is open-minded, cherishes the country without caring about himself, and sacrifices the small for the big. The students admire him."
Even Chu Qing himself didn't realize that he was becoming more and more comfortable calling himself "teacher" in front of Chang Xian, mainly because he felt that calling him "teacher" in front of outsiders was a big deal.
Chu Qing's mood became better and better.
I think a few months ago, when I mentioned the matter of going to the Tao family to propose marriage, Chen Yan, Tao Shaozhang, just two words---look at you now, look at Chang Lao Er, they all said that the daughter of the Tao family is not worthy of it.
I'm on my own, life, life, why don't I feel a lot of emotion, I'm so good at it.
"Master Chu, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Brother Huang has been mentioning you these past few days, saying that he misses you, and blames you for not having time to visit him in the palace."
Chu Qing smiled silently and bitterly.
Recalling the scenes I experienced with the prince, I feel mixed emotions.
Compared to Chang Xian, Chu Qing felt that Prince Chang Yu was more pitiable.
Changxian completed his self-salvation, and the smiles on his face became more and more popular.
But as for the prince, although he always smiles carelessly, there are too many things hidden under his smile that should not be carried at this age.
Even as an adult, Chu Qing, he greatly admired the character of Prince Chang Yu. He was hurt by the person he trusted the most, and the hurt was so deep, but he still believed in the goodness of human nature and was still willing to give others a chance to redeem and prove himself.
"Let's see after some time. I will enter the palace when I have time."
Chu Qing nodded, but in his heart he was still repulsed by the idea of entering the palace.
A big bet on the refugees proves that the emperor really cares about the people, it is true, but this does not mean anything. The emperor cares about the people, but he may not care about a certain bastard. If a bastard doesn't like him, just snap his fingers and the whole world
The kind that can kill half of the Yakuza randomly, and be wiped out in ashes.
Back at the Qianqiying Yamen Office, the officer from the Jingzhao Mansion sent a list detailing the list of merchants registered in the capital.
My dear Ma Rui is a very particular person, and he marked in detail whose properties these merchants belong to.
Chu Qing looked through the roster, feeling calm.
You must know that two months ago, the names on this list and the names of the courtiers were all big bosses that he had to go around.
But looking at it now, Chu Qing not only wanted to cause trouble for these people, he was even worried about who to contact first so that he could quickly and painlessly resolve the matter. Finally, he made a few sketches based on the scope of his business.
Now in his eyes, they are all courtiers. As long as they are courtiers, that's it.
Raising his head and looking at Chen Yan, Chu Qing looked eager to try: "Let's do it in five days."
"Okay." Chen Yan nodded heavily.
Chu Qing continued to look at the roster. After a long while, Chen Yan suddenly cleared his throat, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Brother Xian, what did you mean by taking action just now?"
Chu Qing was also stunned: "No, you don't know what it means. What can you say when you nod?"
"You didn't mention this either."
"Didn't you mention it?"
Chen Yan thought about it again and confirmed: "I didn't mention it."
"Oh, it's just torturing businessmen, you see."
"Understood."
Chu Qing continued to look at the roster.
After another long while, Chen Yan frowned: "Why bother?"
Chu Qing: "..."
Changxian waved his arms: "All-round, dimensionality reduction strike!"
