Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 397;

Chapter 390 Nine;
Qin Qiong reprimanded Li Yu for a long time before being persuaded by Mrs. Qin, and she was relieved after talking a lot, so she said angrily;

Haven’t you met the children of the Kong family and the Yan family? The family of Kong Jijiu is the descendant of the sage.
Dr. Yan's family is also the descendant of one of the 72 sages and ten sages of the sage. The descendants of these two families are all flourishing, and they belong to the same sage's sect as the Duanmu family. It is just right to invite Duanmu's disciples up.

In addition, in your next post, please ask Cheng Dalang to come and accompany him, and ask Cheng Dalang to show his face. If not, your Uncle Cheng will find out about this, and none of his children will be able to come. It's hard to do.

Your uncle and aunt of the Cheng family treat you as close as your own, so you can't let the third brother feel cold. "

"Yes, uncle, don't worry, the child will remember. When I get back later, I will immediately write a post to invite you."

When Mrs. Qin heard that Cheng Dalang was being invited over, she turned her head and asked;
"Husband, please invite Cheng Da to come over. Is this appropriate? Although the Cheng family is also an aristocrat and has been prominent for several generations, but compared with the Duanmu family, this may not be very appropriate. I am a concubine. I also invite my husband decide."

"Ma'am, don't worry, if you want to talk about your status, you can't invite people to make jokes, but don't forget, Ma'am, the three families of Li Qincheng are brothers from the previous generation.

Both Chu Si and Da Lang belonged to the junior generation, so with this name, it would be no big deal, and it was reasonable to accompany them as brothers in the family, no one came to gossip. "

Mrs. Qin stroked her forehead;

"Isn't that right, the concubine was only nervous about how to entertain others, and forgot about this."

Qin Qiong nodded and continued;

"According to what Cheng Dalang said, you had a very happy conversation with the children of those civil servants, and you also drank wine several times.

You are so rich, you only need one pot of Wuliangye per person, now that something happens, isn't it a good time to ask them to come and accompany you?

What are you worrying about, there are not many families in Chang'an city who can come out to accompany them, and only a few powerful Confucian sects are counted.
After all, they are posting invitations for you, and it is not easy for the elders to show up, so I can only go to the juniors of those families to show up! "

Li Yu kept nodding, and finally said weakly;
"Report to Uncle, my son..."

"Is there anything you can't say at home, why are you hesitating?"

Li Yu bowed his head knowingly and whispered back;

"Yes, I want to say that although I have had a few drinks, I still can't remember the names of those brothers, I don't know how to write this post..."

Li Yu didn't lie this time, every gathering was full of people, it was a chaotic scene, and I really didn't remember the names of those people!

Qin Qiong's anger just subsided after hearing these words, immediately burst out again;
"You go out to dinner and entertainment, don't you even remember their names?

Then what kind of wine did you go to, what kind of banquet did you go to, and you wandered around eating, drinking and having fun all day long? "

Mrs. Qin was afraid that Qin Qiongyue's words would get her head above her head, so she rushed to complain. Of course, before scolding, she nodded her head again, pointing Li Yu's forehead back and forth again with her fingers.

Madam Qin stood next to the nearest first-class maids, looking at the head of the county uncle Jianguo, who kept shaking when Madam touched her, and it took her life to hold back her smile.

One of the maids couldn't bear it anymore, pinched her thigh fiercely with one hand, lowered her head and suppressed a smile, and she frowned tightly as her thigh hurt again...

Madam Qin complained and scolded;

"What else can you say, you don't know how to make friends when you go to a banquet? You don't know how to make friends when you make friends, let alone your uncle, I'm so confused by you, I'm afraid I can't even eat today's night food of."

Li Yu defended in a low voice;

"Back to Auntie, there are too many people at the banquet, and it's too noisy. I can't remember too many people after hearing it once or twice, but the brother of the Yu family, I remember, is Yu Xingzhao."

"Remember what's his use. What you're looking for right now is a companion. It's true that Yu's family is also a disciple of a saint, but that kid came to visit with the Duanmu family's children. Remember that he is not in vain. It's really frustrating to waste a lot of time..."

Seeing Mrs. Qin shrugging her shoulders, Li Yu knew that she was sleepy after sitting for a long time, so the smart Li Yu quickly pinched her without saying a word;

"Auntie, you will definitely feel sleepy after sitting for a long time, my baby will relieve your muscles and bones."

Mrs. Qin felt comfortable being pinched, and asked casually;
"You child is quite dexterous. This pinching is better than Yanhong's. Where did you learn it?"

"Returning to my aunt, I read it in the book. The book said to pinch the acupuncture points and follow the muscles, bones and joints in the neck. This will relieve a lot of pain and not damage the neck."

"Yes, yes, in the future, when you have free time, teach these to my dexterous ones, let them learn too, and pinch your uncle a few times when you have nothing to do, so you can relax."

Li Yu quickly agreed to come down and said that he could teach at any time, Mrs. Qin turned her head comfortably, looked at Qin Qiong with an expressionless face and said with a smile;

"Husband, regarding this post, I feel that Dalang should not have written it. Think about it, Dalang's handwriting is tangible but not spiritual. I'm afraid it will make people laugh. Husband please clarify it." check."

"What is invisible, madam, don't want to put gold on his face, the words he wrote, except for being well-behaved, have no other merits.

It seems to the old man that he doesn't even have a shape, so he can't talk about it, and it's even more difficult to be elegant. How many hours have you seen him practicing calligraphy all day long?Still wanting to be tangible, what an idiotic dream! "

As if he was not talking about himself, Li Yu laughed a few times, and after being pinched by Mrs. Qin a few times, he was tired again, so he quit, and whispered in Mrs. Qin's ear;

"Auntie, those posts are very beautiful. I think we should find a master to write them. Auntie, you are a person with great wisdom. You think the child is right?"

Mrs. Qin gave Li Yu a comforting look, turned her head and whispered;
"Your uncle is in a fit of anger, my son, please don't talk, and Auntie will deal with it."

Li Yu nodded, stood behind Mrs. Qin without saying a word, picked his nostrils for a while, and scratched his itch for a while, he was too busy to stand up when he saw Yingxiang winking at him.

Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Qiong who was reading the book again, and saw the timing when he turned the page;
"Husband, a few days before my concubine's death, I heard from the wife of General Chang He that there was a Qing guest boarding in her house, who was knowledgeable, and he was a child from a poor family. really?"

Qin Qiong didn't raise her head, and answered directly;
"There is such a thing, the old man has seen this person several times, he is handsome, full of knowledge, and has good handwriting, but he is born in a poor family, and it may not be easy for him to become an official!

If there is no special opportunity, I am afraid that this life will be hopeless. Although this person has a bad background, he is also proud. The brothers of the Chang family treat him well and take care of him very much.

However, he felt that living in Chang's mansion was a waste of money. In the past few days, he had already submitted his resignation to the brothers of the Chang family, and he estimated that he was going back to his hometown to farm. "

"My husband, the concubine means that the heir of the Duanmu family is visiting, and Dalang will also write an invitation here to invite the descendants of the Kongyan and Yan clans to sit and accompany him.
Thinking about the Kong family and the Yan family, they are all born under the sage's family, and they are all extremely noble. If Dalang's post is written in a crooked manner, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Why don't you just ask this Qingke to come over and write a few posts for you, and if you really write well, you can seal him some money and embellish pens.

We can also check the authenticity by the way. If you really have some talents, study with his professor Dalang, or other errands,
This is not a waste of money, he can also stay here permanently, and be a half-teacher, half-friend advisor by Dalang's side, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, and I don't know if what the concubine thinks is feasible, so I ask my husband to give me an idea, Set a length. "

Qin Qiong put down the military book in his hand, thought for a while before speaking;
"Madam's opinion is brilliant, I think it's feasible, and it's a good thing to have a learned person to supervise you all the time, how about it, tomorrow I will go to Chang's house for a walk,
If the gentleman surnamed Zhou is still there, let's discuss it. If he has already left and returned to his hometown, then it's okay. I will naturally ask other experts to help. Madam don't have to worry about the post, but it's a trivial matter That's all. "

Li Yu saw that everything was arranged properly, and he could sleep and eat as much as he should, with a smile all over his face, Mrs. Qin turned her head and glanced at Li Yu behind her;
"Why are you smirking silly, you haven't thanked your uncle for the arrangement."

"Yes."

This time Li Yu came to stand in front of the two in a proper manner;

"Thank you uncle and auntie for helping me. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave now."

Qin Qiong sighed and said leisurely;
"You have to hurry up with the baijiu matter. Don't delay any longer. The court has been unable to open the pot for several days. Your Majesty is neither on the left nor on the left, so you can only hide from the court. If you still enjoy a good life every day, it is not the courtier's choice." For what!"

"Yes, Uncle Qi, today I went to Cangbu Division to meet Lu Langzhong, and I confirmed the prices of the two wines.

Tomorrow, they will inform those big households who participated that they will go to Cangbu Division to pay for the wine early in the morning the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, uncle, the children will remember it. If you persist until the day after tomorrow, your majesty will get a sum of money to pay for the wine. library. "

"That's very good, and what you said about getting all the states and counties that sell spirits out of the world to exchange for their share of money, you should also have some refreshments. Your Majesty told me twice in an insinuating way. Wait. After a few months of work, it's time for you to continue."

"If you go back to uncle, I've already thought about it. The day after tomorrow, those big families will come to get two kinds of spirits, and they will sell them in Chang'an City, or in a few surrounding places such as Guanzhong, Luoyang, and Taiyuan. .

Let them taste the sweetness, and then they can start to carry out major events. It is estimated that it will take seven or eight days at most. Your Majesty must be much more relaxed. "

Qin Qiong nodded and stroked her three-inch beard;

"Very well, if this matter is accomplished, it will be a great achievement. Your Majesty is an enlightened Holy Lord, and will not forget your contribution. If you have more merit like this, it will be very helpful for you to become an official in the future. of."

Li Yu listened carefully, but he didn't think so in his heart, so he spoke softly;
"Uncle Qi, my son never thought about getting any credit, and it doesn't even matter if he is an official or not. My son just thinks that as long as he has money, land and property, he can live happily all his life, that's all, so it doesn't matter much. Credit."

Qin Qiong shook her head when she heard this, and taught Li Yu earnestly;
"Dalang, your thinking is too simple. Many people think of you, living a life in peace and becoming a rich farmer.

As a result, you will still be bullied by people who are more powerful or noble than you at different times. If you are wronged, you will not be able to fight against others.

Occasionally, some people will be determined to wait for the opportunity to kill the person who bullies them, and let out a bad breath in their chest.

But An Sheng's days are gone, he can only hide everywhere and wander around the world. In the story of the Three Kingdoms you told, Guan Yunchang was like this. He killed people to relieve his anger, and then started a life of wandering.

It would be easier for a person to walk away alone, but if he got married, how would his wife and children escape?

That's why many people choose to swallow their anger and live in the world. This is the helplessness. "

After Li Yu came to Datang, his biggest wish was to be a super-rich landlord with a good family background and to be admired by others. He had never thought about the problems of these common people, so he was stunned and couldn't react. After a short trance, said indifferently;
"Fortunately, I'm not that rich peasant, not an ordinary citizen, otherwise I really have no choice but to be bullied. I don't think I need to worry about what my uncle said. What do you think, auntie?"

Mrs. Qin gave Li Yu a supercilious look;
"Stop talking and listen to your uncle teach you."

Qin Qiong shook her head and said indifferently;
"Your background is many times more noble than those ordinary people, so naturally no one who is not open-minded will provoke you, and no one will easily come against you, but the idea that you can be peaceful and peaceful because of this is wrong.

There are people who are more capable and richer than you, and there are many people out there. Many of those who have also accumulated for thousands of years, the children of aristocratic families, are as powerful as you.

There are many others who are much more powerful than you, but if they don't show their mountains and dews, you can't see their background.

You have tens of thousands of slave families who have children, don't forget that other families also have children, and there are more than your Li family.

Your Li family in Longxi, in frontier areas like Longxi, originally had a small population and limited servants, but those aristocratic families in the Central Plains are different.

Just talking about servants is a lot more than your Lantian Li family, but you don't know it.

You see, the number of households registered by the imperial court is about 300 million households, but do you know how many household slaves do not have household registration in the world's aristocratic families?

From the time of the former dynasty to the present, the number of households in the world has decreased by nearly half. Do you really think that more than 100 million households died in the ten-year chaos? "

Li Yu lowered his head, and made a simple calculation in his heart. It was normal for a household in the Tang Dynasty to have a dozen or so people, and for households with no family planning, there were seven or eight people.

When talking about 100 million households, the minimum population is several million. Let’s say that the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but you can’t kill so many people if you fight again. The curious Li Yu couldn’t figure out this question, so he hurriedly asked ;
"Uncle, where have so many people gone, there must be a place to hide, it's impossible to just disappear out of thin air."

"That's right, Dalang, what you said is very reasonable, so many people can't just disappear out of thin air, and it's not hard to guess where they went.

Some people relied on the temples, and some people really fled to various deserted places to avoid the disaster of war.

For example, some went to the deep mountains and old forests, and many more people fled to the land outside Lingnan. Although they had not been educated there, there was no one to earn money.

During the time of war, the princes and overlords only cared about seizing the important land and vying for the Central Plains. The land beyond the transformation became a paradise in the war-torn era.
His Majesty also issued a notice to call the refugees from all over the world to return to their hometowns, to distribute land and property, and then to grow grain and cultivate it. Indeed, many households have returned, but some people have not returned.

But these add up to only a certain number, and where did many households go? The problem came, they all avoided and absorbed in the shade of those powerful aristocratic families and wealthy families. "

Li Yu was terrified when he heard this, how many fucking people did I gain by relying on this, and how much money and food would it cost to feed so many people?

"Uncle's aristocratic family took away so many people, how can they support them, and there are so many people serving as their slaves, so they don't feel burdened?"

Qin Qiong smiled slightly and leaned against the nest of the grand master's chair, watching Li Yu not relax;

"Dalang, tell me how many hundreds of servants you have in total, and then look at the total number of people in your five villages?"

Li Yu is very familiar with this question, so he doesn't need to calculate and open his mouth to come;

"Back to Uncle, in my village in Lantian, there are servants with 300 surnames, a total of more than [-] households, who have lived in Lantian for four or five generations, plus those who came from Longxi in the middle.

There are more than 300 people in total, and the remaining five Zhuangzi, those poor people brought back by Aye, the village households, add up to more than 2 households, and there are more than [-] heads.

It is because of these heads that the boy can feel at ease, otherwise I will be punished by some ruthless people, and I will have no choice but to take revenge. "

"Well, you remember very clearly. It seems that after you became the patriarch, you also put your heart into it. When the eldest brother took in these poor people, homeless people, and people who fled, do you think that you and those other aristocratic families and wealthy families took advantage of it? The world is in chaos, and the method of desperately encircling servants, what is the difference?"

Um? ? ? ? ? ?

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this...
