It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 298. 298. Stingy Rich Man
Qiming Academy is thriving and on the right track.

After Ji Shaoyuan entrusted Yiluo Miaojin to inspect the academy, he went to do other things.

The porridge shed that he helped to build before has been completed, and now Ji Shaoyuan is stepping up his efforts to help the people with porridge together with Xiao Yue.

Worried that someone would sneak in to claim the rice grain, Ji Shaoyuan directly ordered the women and children in the family to come forward, and each household could only receive a certain unit of grain.

Generally, there are three or four people in a family, so Xiao Yue Ji Shaoyuan allowed them to receive five buckets of rice.

If there are more people, you will receive three buckets of rice more.

In this way, there will be no vicious cases of intentional killings for the monopoly of food.

The porridge shed is guarded by guards, and there are also ground guards. If there are outsiders pretending to claim it, they will be identified immediately by the ground guards.

With the double protection of land guards and bodyguards, Licheng is almost under Xiao Yue's control, so it is very difficult for little thieves to sneak in.

At the same time, the house reconstruction process in Licheng after the war was also in full swing.

In the past, due to helplessness, a bunch of people lived in a small shed.It's all right now, with our own nest, we don't have to work so hard to squeeze together.

The sheds were demolished one after another, and many people returned to their homes with big bags and small bags.Ji Shaoyuan saw that many people burst into tears, grateful for the hard work of General Xiao and the soldiers, so that they can finally settle down.

With the concerted efforts of the people of Licheng, Licheng has shown a thriving atmosphere.

When Ji Shaoyuan saw it, it was completely different from the lifeless look when she first came.

"Princess, someone wants to see you."

Bi Yue came out from the porridge shed, and whispered these words into Ji Shaoyuan's ear.

When Ji Shaoyuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "See me? I came to Licheng, and I have no relatives or friends. The one they should see most is General Xiao, not this princess."

In other words, General Xiao is the person in charge of Licheng, and as for her, she can only help out, and it is impossible for her to do it for her.

Bi Yue looked puzzled, "The other party claims to want to make a deal with the princess."

Is there any deal that they should come over and discuss with Ji Shaoyuan?
Ji Shaoyuan thought for a while, and then ordered, "Let's go outside to talk, this place is not suitable for talking, you should watch here first."

"Yes, princess."

Biyue went down to continue her task today, Ji Shaoyuan took the initiative to walk to them in the direction Biyue pointed.

The person who came was a short, fat middle-aged man, more than two times shorter than Ji Shaoyuan, but he was dressed gorgeously, and his round face was set off by a bright red shirt.

Oh, the other party was followed by several unidentified tall and strong men, suspected to be guards.

Seeing this, Ji Shaoyuan smiled, "Meeting this princess, could it be a scourge? It's so boring to guard against death."

Although there was a group of guards behind her, they were nothing compared to the swagger of the short and fat man.

The short, fat, middle-aged man waved the folding fan in his hand, and first complimented Ji Shaoyuan with a smile on his face, "It is rumored that Princess Xiangli is beautiful and intelligent, and she is beautiful and beautiful. When I saw her today, she really lived up to her reputation. When the grass people saw the princess, they felt that they had seen Jiutian." The Xuannv descended to earth. No, the Nine Heavens Xuannv is not as beautiful as one-tenth of Her Highness the Princess." With the funny tone, the words that were obviously compliments made people feel goosebumps.

Ji Shaoyuan: "..."

Where did the comedian come from?this……

"Stop, stop, this princess is not the Nine Heavens Xuannv, but an ordinary person. My father is the Emperor Daxing. You should leave your words to the children of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Ji Shaoyuan shook his hand, speechless.

Where is she the Nine Heavens Xuannv?If it was, wouldn't be staying here.

Probably because of the more intense reaction of the other party, the short and fat man finally stopped talking. He closed his fan and sighed for a while, "To tell you the truth, Your Highness, the dog...he."

What happened to his son?
"By the way, I don't know your situation yet. Your name? Where are you from?"

Ji Shaoyuan only finds the strange man in front of him funny, and has no sense of familiarity at all.

The other party wants to be familiar, but she doesn't have this idea.

"Gouzi...he likes..." The short and fat man was out of breath, and he was very irritable when he heard it.

Ji Shaoyuan took the initiative to add words, "Who do you like?"

It couldn't be her anyway.

"He likes to carry the sedan chair for others," the short and fat man finally stammered the second half of the sentence, and he quickly explained the subsequent request, "He wants to carry the sedan chair for the princess, and begged the princess to take him in."

Lift the sedan chair?
Ji Shaoyuan was surprised for a while. Although she was used to riding a horse, she used a sedan chair a lot.

Why is the other party's son so polite to carry the sedan chair for her?

"Your Highness, you forgot. Before you gave porridge to the doctor, and the girl Iuzi liked was rescued by you. Iuzi is very grateful. Thinking that the princess has no shortage of money, why not carry the sedan chair for the princess to repay this kindness."

The short and fat man was also made one head and two big by his own son. He was old enough to have a son, and he loved this son like a treasure. Who knows, since his son was born, he has never let him worry about it.

The son fell in love with a wild country girl before, and the short and fat man was so angry that his beard trembled.

The three generations of the Lu family were single heirs, and finally got an only child. Why did his stupid son carelessly fall in love with a girl who was not from the same family as him?
The other party's family background is far behind theirs, how can they be a good mistress in the future?

Not only that, the silly son did not want to inherit the family business, but was only willing to carry the sedan chair for others in exchange for a meager reward.

The middle-aged man was so worried that he couldn't eat anymore, so he gritted his teeth and went to find Ji Shaoyuan first.

Anyway, the silly son should gain something by following the princess.This is what middle-aged men think.

Ji Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows after listening.

There are all kinds of life and the world is big, but it is quite new to be "out of the ordinary" like a middle-aged man's silly son.

"What do you want?" Ji Shaoyuan looked serious, "The princess is busy with the college and the porridge shed these days, and it is unlikely that she will use a sedan chair to go to and fro. Your son will be useless for the time being."

Brother from a famous family, who is not a pampered uncle?Like the other party's son, it might as well be considered a different kind of normal.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this, "As long as the princess takes him by my side and does some idle work, Caomin Lu Faxing has no complaints."

"Oh? So it's Uncle Lu, the people here are very impressed with you."

Ji Shaoyuan was overjoyed.

Lu Faxing is really rich if he is rich, he is comparable to the richest person in Licheng.

Lu Faxing can also be regarded as kind and generous. He usually builds bridges and paves roads, and sees doctors for free. It should be said that the common people will think that he is a kind person.

However, the most dumbfounding thing about Lu Faxing is his stinginess.He has made so much money, but he is asked to donate money and food for something on weekdays, and he is so eager to get nothing out of it.Even the servants, wives and children in his family cannot dress brightly, dresses cannot drag the floor, and jewelry cannot exceed three or more pieces. Anyone who dresses handsomely when Lu Faxing is losing money will be punished. Lu Faxing cursed, wailed, and said such things without conscience.One can imagine how stingy Lu Faxing is.

Therefore, people give the nickname Lu Sanbai—the money will never exceed [-] yuan.It was unprecedented for Lu Faxing to wear this passable and good-looking clothes today.

When Lu Faxing heard this, he smiled sarcastically. It's not that he didn't know that the people made fun of him behind his back. It's just that the money was spent, and it would be too troublesome to earn it later.

Of course he had to think more about himself.

Ji Shaoyuan tilted his head, "Your son stays with this princess, why does this princess take him in? After all, the children of Qiming Academy are smart, sensible and capable, and when they really want to do something, they are very happy .Lu Faxing, in everything there is gain, there must be loss.”

Since Lu Faxing is so rich, it is absolutely impossible for Ji Shaoyuan to let him take advantage of nothing.

Hearing what Princess Xiangli said, Lu Faxing immediately showed a pained expression.

God!He still wants to spend money to eliminate disasters, son, son, if it wasn't for you, how could he take the initiative to "feed the sheep into the tiger's mouth"?
No matter how much Lu Faxing burst into tears in his heart, anyway, on the bright side, the benefits that should be given still have to be given.

With trembling hands, Lu Faxing took out a stack of bank notes from his cuff, all of which were thousands of silver dollars.

He presented it with both hands, and forced a smile, "I heard that the Qiming Academy, which the princess is currently in charge of, is in urgent need of money, and a small gift from the grassroots is not a respect."

Ji Shaoyuan cast his eyes at the guard, the guard understood, and hurriedly took the bank note and handed it to Ji Shaoyuan.

Ji Shaoyuan counted carefully, hey, a total of 15 taels of silver bills.

This figure definitely caused Lu Faxing to lose a lot of blood.

Ji Shaoyuan didn't get Lu Faxing to get up immediately, but reminded him meaningfully, "Master Lu, money is something outside of oneself, and you can only get something if you give it away. This princess believes that your generosity will be passed down to future generations, and your reputation will last forever. "

Since he has accepted the "good gift" from others, Ji Shaoyuan has to keep going, and Ji Shaoyuan will not skip and save the gift that should be given.

After hearing this, Lu Faxing was stunned.

Ordinary people, who doesn't have the idea of ​​leaving a name through the ages?Lu Faxing is no exception, even though he is just a merchant.

It is not easy to leave a trace of a person in the fine brushwork of Qing History.

Lu Faxing saluted Ji Shaoyuan tremblingly, "Caomin has seen the princess, and the princess is a thousand years old."

In this way, the pain of the bleeding was finally soothed.

Ji Shaoyuan gave him a hand, smiled, "You can bring your son over some other day, it happens that the princess is short of a guard with quick hands and feet, so he will be my personal guard."

Serving the princess, being a bodyguard, isn't it more interesting than carrying a sedan chair?
Lu Faxing was too happy to speak.

but……

"Are you dissatisfied with the girl your son loves?"

Ji Shaoyuan asked casually.
