Chapter 29 Cry Poor
The new emperor is enthroned, and the one who can go to watch the ceremony is the real boss. Those who cannot go can only be regarded as small shrimps. This is the current consensus.
As Li Zhi's number one loyal dog, Xu Jingzong wrote a letter to Chang'an a while ago, expressing his earnest hope to participate in the enthronement ceremony, and even said bluntly that the moment his Highness ascended the throne with his own eyes, he would die in peace up.
This is loyalty!
If Li Zhi didn't faint, he would definitely bring him back to Chang'an to watch the ceremony, but this time he failed.
"There is a censor who said that the old man hangs out with you in Huazhou. He is afraid that he will be contaminated with the habit of the broom star. When the time comes, he will defeat the emperor, so it is best not to come. His Highness scolded him, saying that if the broom star can really defeat the emperor, in Huazhou and It's the same in Chang'an, but the ministers refused to agree..."
Xu Jingzong was very sad, he was short of snot and tears.
Jia Pingan sat back under the tree again, meditating cross-legged, with the appearance of an eminent monk. After Lao Xu finished speaking, he sighed: "Master, this is a good thing!"
"A good thing?" Xu Jingzong was angry, "Your Highness was persecuted by his subjects, and he couldn't make the decision. Is this a good thing?"
This kind of thing... It's very normal at the moment when Niubi is in a powerful family, but it just slapped Lao Li in the face.
"Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were in the same group among the important officials left behind by the late emperor. The late emperor counted on them to help him wholeheartedly, but people..." Jia Pingan glanced at Xu Jingzong, and that look... How should I put it, it was very dusty. I really feel like a monk.
"But people are fickle." Jia Pingan thought of some kind of indescribable creature, "Your Highness's foundation is not stable, Changsun Wuji and the others have already established their power. At this moment, who can give up the power in their hands? You? Or him?" ?”
Xu Jingzong couldn't help shaking his head, "If the old man has power for a while, I'm afraid he won't be willing to give up his power."
"This is a human being." Jia Pingan felt like a spiritual mentor, pointing the way for Xu Jingzong, "At this moment, what does His Highness want? A loyal subject. Messenger, the days when you are reused are not good. Far."
In the records of later generations, Xu Jingzong was reused after he ascended the throne.
Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up, "Yes! This old man is loyal to His Highness, and has no other intentions. I just want to go back to Chang'an City, and I want to do some merit. Safe, tell me..."
Jia Pingan smiled slightly, "I already have some secret plans, so you dare to give it a try?"
This is a test. If Old Xu hesitates, Jia Pingan will stay away from him and find another way to avoid disaster. For example... Sister Wu in Ganye Temple...
Thinking of Sister Wu, he couldn't help looking forward to it.
That's the queen!
For thousands of years, there has been such a strong woman. If she can hug Sister Wu's thigh, she will be invincible!
Xu Jingzong wanted to hesitate, but when he saw Jia Ping'an's longing look, somehow he blurted out, "Just say it, the old man will definitely do it."
Ruzi can be taught!
No, the old man can teach!
Jia Pingan said: "Do you know Huazhou?"
Xu Jingzong nodded, "The old man in Huazhou still knows something about population, enlightenment, cultivated land..."
"It's not helpful for you to know." Jia Ping'an said calmly: "This time, when I traveled around Huazhou, I saw the difficulties of the people and the background of Huazhou, so Jun, Huazhou... There is a lot to do!"
Xu Jingzong was attracted unconsciously, "Say it quickly!"
"Do you know how much bamboo there is in Huazhou?"
"I know." Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "Huazhou has many mountains, and the terrain is convenient for bamboo to grow."
"There are a lot of bamboos, but no one cares where they grow. What a reckless thing!" Jia Pingan said with a heartbroken heart: "When I saw the bamboo seas, my heart ached!"
Well!
Xu Jingzong didn't know why Jia Ping'an was going crazy, so he said: "If there are too many bamboos, what is your heartache?"
"There is not much arable land in Huazhou, and there is no money for education. If you want to make achievements, you have to take an unconventional path. This is what someone said." Jia Pingan felt that Lao Xu really had no vision, "But what about bamboo?"
Xu Jingzong wondered, "What can bamboo be used for? Burning bamboo charcoal?"
"Hey!" This stick, Jia Pingan said: "This time in the farmhouse, I saw many people making bamboo ware with bamboo slices. This is an achievement!"
"This..." Xu Jingzong was puzzled, "The bamboo weaving old man knows, it's everywhere!"
"Are there so many bamboos in Huazhou?" Jia Ping'an felt that it was too difficult to train a treacherous minister into a good minister. "The bamboo in Huazhou is better than other places for bamboo weaving, and the most important thing is that Huazhou knows how to make bamboo weaving." There are many people in the country, this is the right time, place and people, if there is such an advantage and you are still poor, this governor is a pig!"
He spoke heartily, and after he finished speaking, he found Xu Jingzong looking constipated beside him, so he said with a dry smile: "This is the former governor."
Calling the governor a pig in front of Lao Xu is no different from calling him black in front of a pig.
Xu Jingzong muttered: "What kind of pig, it's a hog."
He is highly knowledgeable, so he naturally and habitually corrects the mistakes in Jia Ping'an's words, but after correcting them, he finds that he has given himself the title of pig.
"The old man is not a pig."
"Yes, Shijun is not."
"The old man is really not."
"Yes, Shijun is not."
"you…"
Xu Jingzong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, Jia Ping'an leaned in a little anxiously, afraid that Old Xu would lose his temper.
But Old Xu sighed, "I want to be ashamed and be brave, but bamboo weaving is useless. You just made this on this trip? Then old man... Forget it, I will think of other ways."
Old Xu is really nice, especially for his own people.
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Master, it is useless for one person to make bamboo weaving, but what about hundreds or thousands of people?"
"This matter still needs to mobilize the people." Jia Ping'an cupped his hands and said, "It will fall on the envoy."
Since he wanted to train Lao Xu, a treacherous minister, he naturally couldn't do everything on his behalf. He had to let Lao Xu have the initiative.
Thinking of the beautiful scenery, Lao Xu couldn't help praising: "What a Jia Ping'an, he really is the brain of the old man!"
Brain Tank?
hehe!
Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu really thought too highly of himself.
But this is also good, Lao Xu fantasizes about him as a think tank, and he uses Lao Xu as a shield. In the future, their fortunes will be different, but they can still become allies.
If you want to say that there are people from powerful families who can also make friends, you are wrong. It's not that people from a powerful family say it's bad, but that it's too good. But in their eyes, Jia Pingan, a broom star, is naturally a disgusting existence and a farmer, so there is probably no chance for the two sides to become friends.
Jia Ping'an slandered those people from aristocratic families, and then felt very happy.
And Xu Jingzong went straight to the state government office and ordered: "Let the people everywhere learn bamboo weaving and do it!"
The officials looked dumbfounded...I felt that Old Xu was twitching again.
It is true that the governor is the governor of a state, and it is also true that the governor governs the country, but such abrupt decrees make people very confused.
An official said: "Your Majesty, should the people do these things themselves?"
At this time, the so-called governance by doing nothing is to harass the people less. This decree that one guy involves all the people in a state is really shocking to hear.
"Yes! Your Majesty, what if you can't sell it?" This is the biggest problem.
Xu Jingzong said smugly: "What is the population of Chang'an City? Are you still worried that it won't be sold? Just go!"
Liao Quan said: "If you have a high vision, you will definitely benefit Huazhou."
Xu Jingzong glanced over his subordinates, and when he saw a few officials with slightly cold faces, he sneered. When he saw the new Sima Yuwen still smiling modestly, he felt that this person was quite interesting.
So the decree was issued.
But within a few days, the news of the feedback made Lao Xu want to vomit blood.
"My lord, the people everywhere have said that unless the state can guarantee the payment, they dare not do it."
Xu Jingzong was angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that such thoughts were understandable.
The people are poor, it will take time for you to let them make bamboo weaving, you have to buy bamboo weaving tools, and the cost of learning bamboo weaving, if you can't see the benefits, who would dare to do it?
Xu Jingzong hurried to find Jia Pingan.
"Don't want to?" Jia Ping'an was very pleased, thinking that at least the people are not stupid.
"The people are unwilling, and the old man has nothing to do!" Xu Jingzong felt that this road was about to be cut off.
"Does Shijun dare to give up?" Jia Pingan tempted again.
"What do you mean?" Xu Jingzong's eyes sparkled.
"Go and find money." Jia Pingan said firmly: "If you want to do great things, you can't spare yourself!"
Old Xu whispered: "Are you sure?"
His eyes were bloodshot, showing that he was under a lot of pressure.
"Yes!" How could Jia Ping'an do things carelessly? "There are many wooden utensils in the market in Huazhou, which are not cheap and heavy. If bamboo utensils are used instead, the price is not only cheap, but also light. In addition... many things can be woven with bamboo pieces, from dignitaries to ordinary people The common people love to use it, envoys, how big a business is this? But currently no one in Tang Dynasty pays attention to this, time is waiting for me!"
Xu Jingzong's eyes were red, and he was snorting, obviously excited by Jia Ping'an.
Excited!
Jia Pingan came up with an idea, "Your Highness can ask for it. Besides, does Shijun know how to become famous?"
Xu Jingzong shook his head. He is famous, but he is notorious. Everyone in the world says he is a traitor.
"If Shi Jun wants to make a good name, then this is an opportunity..."
"Let's talk about it." Xu Jingzong felt that he seemed to be stepping towards glory step by step, and also seemed to be stepping into a big pit step by step.
"If Shijun can become a seller...the reputation."
…
Xu Jingzong returned to Beijing, and just a few days after the enthronement ceremony, he asked to see Li Zhi.
"Xu Qing has worked hard." Li Zhi felt that he had been wronged, so he comforted him softly.
"Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong saluted, raised his head, and said gratifiedly: "Your Majesty is more energetic than what I saw last time, much more...the indescribable aura, I feel, this is the dragon spirit. I just got closer After a while, I feel refreshed, and even the fatigue dissipates."
Why! It's still a loyal dog's flattering comfort!
Li Zhi felt very comfortable, "You are doing well in Huazhou, and if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
This is the emperor's cliché to his courtiers, no one will take it seriously.
"Your Majesty..."
But Xu Jingzong knelt down, and said in tears: "Your servant is poor!"
…
Old Xu cried out in tears: "Master readers, I, Old Xu...poor! Look at the recommendation ticket, it's so miserable that I can't read it. Those book friends don't know where they are. The sadness...is so hot!"
