Chapter 328 Beat and coax
After having a stuffy meal in Lingyunlou, four people lowered their shoulders. Look at me. I look at you. No one has the previous interest. Before drinking a pot of tea, Su Zixin stood up and whispered uneasily, "Go back. I've been shopping all morning. I want to go back."
"Anyway, I'm tired. Why don't you go back first?" Su Biruo hurriedly looked at Su Biruo, who was lying weakly on the table and smiled. Su Biruo stood up on the table and went straight downstairs without saying a word.
When the group returned to Zhuangzi, Nanning flew out of the door and smiled and said, "Masters, big girls, I came back really early. I quickly went back to have a rest. The princess sent a message saying that she would come back tonight and talk to several masters and girls early tomorrow morning. It's about homework." Nanning motioned the porter to take the horse down and kept saying, "The princess has been busy with peace talks these days. The envoys of Northern Wu, Southern Wu and South Vietnam are all in Yangzhou City. I heard that it is very difficult to deal with, and the princess is in a bad mood to be annoyed by them."
Su Zixin's face suddenly stepped down, and Shui Qian's heart also rose to the air. Su Biruo paused. without saying a word, she lowered her head and rushed straight into the second door and went straight back. Su Zixin looked at Su Biruo's back worriedly. Shui Sui thought for a moment and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, third master. You see, the eldest girl knows better than in Kaiping Mansion. There are many things. Besides, the princess is in a bad mood, and it has nothing to do with us. The princess is a person who knows etiquette. Anyway, we should answer what she says tomorrow. Guo Nwei hurriedly agreed, "What Silang said is very true. What she said, we should do it first. If there is anything, take a long-term plan." Su Zixin breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded heavily, looked at the two people and whispered, "Wait a while I'm going to find Mr. Lu. I haven't practiced for many days, so I have to..."
"Yes, yes, even if you don't practice, you have to say it or not. As long as you say it, everything will have nothing to do with us!" Shuilian smiled quickly. Su Zixin smiled and nodded repeatedly. The three of them put their heads against each other and discussed for a while before going back to the yard.
In the courtyard of Yangzhou City, Li Xiaoyao sat on the main hall couch and heard Wisteria come in and report that Su Biruo, Su Zixin and others had left the city and went back. They were gently relieved. Yu Yuanshan and Shi Yu of Yangzhou Zhizhou, Zhao Hongzhi of Chuzhou and Zhizhou Zhizhou of Runzhou quietly sat respectfully on the armchair in front of the couch. Seeing Wisteria hanging out their hands and withdrew, Then he said, "Fifth master, we trade five articles. Lord Wu and Song have received a reply, and there is nothing wrong with it. They just pay 100,000 silver and 100,000 pieces of silk every year. The Empress Dowager Wu said to Lord Song that this is a problem of raising tigers and refuse to obey."
"Well," Li Xiaoyao answered with an expressionless face and turned his head to look at Shi Yu. Shi Yu arched his hand and smiled, "Lord Qian of South Vietnam has been losing his temper every day these days. Lord Yan is crazy. During the peace period, he even went to three important towns on the South Vietnam border." Li Xiaoyao picked up the corners of his mouth. What's the use of losing his temper? Zhao Hongzhi twisted his beard and smiled, "He is crazy. If he doesn't take advantage of the peace, he will take more cities. Will he take it after swearing?"
Shi Yuguan smiled and continued calmly: "There is nothing wrong with commerce with five South Vietnam, and the annual coins are also easy to negotiate. The only thing is that we must withdraw from South Vietnam and return the border triple town."
Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Hongzhi with a smile. Zhao Hongzhi arched his hand and said simply, "The prince went to the triple town of Nanyue. Lord Liu of Southern Wu is in a very good mood! Southern Wu took advantage of the transfer of troops from South Vietnam and north to recaptured the area of Weijiazhuang, which was captured by South Vietnam more than a decade ago. He took advantage of the fire and did a good job of the robbery. The five Southern Wu emperors had already agreed. The matter of the old coins was said to be more. I didn't give in half a step. Nanwu took advantage of the prince's advantage and got such a big advantage. How can he be cheaply?!" Ming Qian put his hands on his knees and listened respectfully to everyone.
Li Xiaoyao breathed a relaxed breath: "The five articles of commerce are the most important. With this, we will have the bottom."
"The fifth master's words are extremely true. According to me, let's not talk about tea and wine. Anyone who gets the letter of our Yangzhou tea and wine industry, whether they go to Southern Wu, South Vietnam or Northern Wu, can only be taxed according to our approved tax. What will our tea tasting party next year be? It won't take two years. Next year, Yangzhou will become the first business capital in the world!" Yu Yuanshan's excited face turned red, and Li Xiaoyao smiled and did not answer. Shang is the last stream, and under the pressure of heavy troops, it is naturally indispensable. Although it can't subjugate the country, it can make the country rich and the people rich. In the same way, perhaps in a few years, it will be recognized by the world.
"Try to tell Lord Qian that the prince has a bad temper, and I don't know how much it will take to fight back the city. We can only try it. We won't allow half a step!" Shi Yu hurriedly agreed. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Yu Yuanshan and smiled, "The Empress Dowager Wu refused, so she put it aside first. There is no other money that Northern Wu did not give. Besides, when it comes to Northern Wu, I am not happy. If she refuses, her family will not join the oath. The prince's army withdrew from South Vietnam, and there happens that there are also The place has been used. Go back and discuss it with Lord Liu. His emperor is the direct leader, and Northern Wu and Southern Wu should not be separated for a long time. Yu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Master, don't worry, if the subordinate knows, he will make him submit!"
"Well, on Nanwu's side, his men slowed down and told Lord Liu that I read his emperor's favor, give up the annual coins a little, and make friends with Lord Liu more. Well, isn't he known as an elegant man and likes the all-body crystal glass and the best tea most? Later, I'll ask Fifth Brother Zhao to find some for you, and you can give it to Lord Liu. Don't talk about me, just say it's from you.
Yu Yuanshan stabbed Zhao Hongzhi with a folding fan and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. Take the things of the fifth master, and you will be a favor."
"Lord Song and Lord Qian should do the same. Before Lord Song left, the Star Building was kept for him, and Luoyan. Later, I will ask someone to tell him, and find a few more talented and clear-spirited female tricks to serve. Only one of them was not allowed to be taken away, so let him keep this thought well. , Lord Qian is straight and loves the people like a son. Lord Shi will go out of the city, inspect the countryside, visit the people's feelings, and invite him to walk together. In addition, he is good at ancient books, hermits and books. I asked people to search for some before, and I will send them to you later. People, you can find them by yourself, go to the quiet places in the countryside, and arrange a few hermits. People, let him meet by chance, or visit without meeting. Li Xiaoyao said and laughed at what he said. Shi Yu arched and sighed, "The fifth master's exquisite mind is very admirable."
"You can't think about one step, at least two or three more steps. The national oath is that no matter how good it is, it will be only three or five years. The emperor is talented and powerful. He always has to make a big plan in the future. Everything else is good, just like the hearts of the people. It is a matter of slow immersion. From now on, you have to pay attention to it everywhere. Everything that needs to be done should be done. You can't just live in one state. You have to stand higher first. Li Xiaoyao said slowly and softly. The four of them got up in a hurry and agreed. Li Xiaoyao raised his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be polite. What else is there?"
Zhao Hongzhi said two or three more details, and the four stood up together. Li Xiaoyao looked at Yu Yuanshan and Shi Yu and said with a smile, "Lord Yu and Lord Shi stay. There is something to trouble you two." Zhao Hongzhi and Ming lowered their hands and withdrew. Yu Yuan and Shi Yuzhong sat down again. Li Xiaoyao looked at the two and smiled bitterly and said, "The two adults also know that the prince and I took a group of children on this trip to Huainan Road."
Yu Yuanshan covered his mouth with a folding fan and couldn't help lowering his head and laughing. A few days ago, there was a princess disaster all over the city. Shi Yu arched his hand while laughing and said, "There are five masters and princes**, but half a year and a year, it has become a weapon."
"If only it was so easy, and I don't want to point out what it can really become. I'm sorry to bother you two. First, the king of Qin, the prince's intention is to let him know some difficulties in government affairs, physical examination and people's suffering. In the same way, I want to ask two adults for help."
"Five master, please tell me."
"Please ask Lord Yu to take the King of Qin every ten days, or deal with government affairs or investigate people's feelings. There is no need to arrange it specially. If there is anything in Lord Yu's schedule that feels suitable for the King of Qin, let someone come and tell him there. At that time, I will send him there." Li Xiaoyao looked at Yu Yuanshan and smiled. Yu Yuanshan quickly agreed. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Shi Yu and smiled, "Lord Shi may decide the case or go to the countryside to investigate the people's situation. Please take the King of Qin for advice."
"Don't worry, Fifth Master." Shi Yu hurriedly smiled and arched her hand. Li Xiaoyao nodded and smiled, "This is the first one. The second one. The princess is fierce and is not a virtuous lady who lives in the second gate. I want her to read with the king of Qin and others. Several gentlemen in Yangzhou Prefecture are profound in knowledge and noble character. I want the king of Qin and the princess, as well as Shui Silang and the Guo family. Sanlang went to the government to study for a few years, and it bothered Lord Shi to worry about this matter.
Shi Yu looked at Li Xiaoyao with a bitter face and didn't dare to agree for a moment. These are the most noble people in the world. Most of the children in the university are children of poor families. How can this be released?
"The king of Qin and others look at each other as one. You and your gentlemen can rest assured that I am here." Li Xiaoyao looked at Shi Yu and promised. Shi Yu thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Shi Yu stopped with a wry smile, and then continued to say, "Just look at Mr. Tian, who is not afraid of the powerful. If you can't do it, you have to think of another ** order."
"Well, if it is really square and fearless, it can be used later." Li Xiaoyao whispered. Yu Yuanshan shook the folding fan, looked at Shi Yu and smiled and said, "Lord Shi, be at ease. Whether there is the fifth master, the king of Qin or the princess, there will be no big deal. As for the small things you bump, don't have to pay attention to it." Shi Yu nodded and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "When will you go to study?"
"The sooner the better."
"Well, then I'll go to find Mr. Tian and reply to the fifth master before dark." Shi Yu responded cheerfully, and Li Xiaoyao smiled gently and said, "I'm going back to Zhuangzi tonight. You can go to Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning. It happens to meet the King of Qin and others, and Lord Yu will also go there together." The two quickly stood up and agreed and quit. Li Xiaoyao sat for a while and ordered Danyue to call Xi'an in and whispered, "I'm afraid the prince won't be able to hold on for a long time. Send a message, and Yangzhou is ready." Xi'an agreed heavily and turned away to send a message.
The next day, before dawn, Su Biruo couldn't sleep. She tossing and turning in **, it would be best to treat the bandit aunt later. This made Su Biruo have two big heads. She kept thinking of being called by the nurse, washing and changing clothes, and having breakfast again. This plan has not been decided yet. Milk M mother carefully looked at Su Biruo. For Princess Liang, the little contempt and respect in her heart has been almost replaced by admiration and gratitude. Her Royal Highness has at least spoken well now and is less violent. This is what she prays for from the Buddha every day.
Su Biruo lingered out of the yard and through the garden. After all, she still lingered at the door of Qinfang Garden where Li Xiaoyao lived. Danyue came out from afar. Su Biruo frowned and said, "Who are you? Where's Ah Zi?"
"Go back to the eldest girl, my name is Danyue. Miss Azi is not worth it today. If the eldest girl has anything to tell me, just come in with me. The princess has already had breakfast." Danyue agreed with a smile, but Su Biruo asked, "Has the third uncle arrived yet?"
"The third master, the fourth master and the third master Guo have arrived and also entered." Danyue smiled amiable and replied gently. Su Biruo was relieved. At this time, as long as she heard that Su Zixin and Shui Li were there, she would feel much more stable.
Su Biruo followed the light moon through the moon door and entered the spacious flower hall. The flower hall was surrounded by original Xiangfei bamboo curtains. A pot of unknown green grass hung down from the high flower frame. The room looked refreshing and pleasant. On the front couch, Li Xiaoyi was dressed in a moon white plain silk dress, sitting upright with a smile and talking with water. See Su Biruo came in, and Su Zixin greeted with a happy face, "A Ruo is coming!"
Li Xiaoyao stopped talking, looked at Su Biruo, pointed to Su Zixin with a smile and said, "Sit down, I'm talking to your third uncle about going to school." Su Biruo awkwardly saw the salute and sat awkwardly in the chair. Looking at Su Zixin's failure to answer, she couldn't think of anything good for a moment. Li Xiaoyao didn't seem to notice her uncomfortableness at all. She just looked at Shui Sui and continued to laugh, "You are very right. Kaipingfu and Huainan Road really have a lot of disadvantages in this understanding of this scripture. In the same place, let's ask Wen Hanlin and others to hold a few literary meetings to tell the scholars and students on Huainan Road about our learning in Kaipingfu.
"This is a blessing for students in Huainan Road." Guo Nai bowed slightly and said respectfully. Li Xiaoyao looked at it and said with a smile, "It's also Wen Hanlin's blessing. Huainan Road people are outstanding, and their literary style is extremely prosperous. I don't know how many champions, top eyes and Jinshi have come out. Although Wu Di's force is weak, it is the first in the world. We in Beiping really can't expect it. During your study, you can't underestimate Yangzhou students, otherwise, I'm afraid you will lose your face.
Su Biruo suddenly understood and looked at Su Zixin and asked, "Are you going to study in the government? Go to the university?"
"It's us, my sister-in-law said, and you also want to go." Su Zixin laughed. Su Biruo suddenly opened her eyes and quickly turned her head to look at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao looked at her and said with a smile, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to force it. After all, learning is a man's business. It's better for you to learn needle and thread cooking at home than to learn."
"I'm going to study!" Su Biruo stared at Li Xiaoyao and said decisively. Li Xiaoyao smiled and turned her eyes to Su Zixin and said, "The emperor wants you to learn some civil affairs. In the same way, you can follow Lord Yu, the political envoy of Huainan Road, and Lord Shi of Yangzhou Zhizhou." Li Xiaoyao said, turned his head to look at Shui Yan and Guo Nawei and said with a smile, "If you two want, you can also follow them to learn more."
"I'll go too!" Su Biruo rushed to shout without waiting for Shui Jian and Guo Ne to answer. Li Xiaoyao looked at her with a smile and sighed heavily, as if she nodded helplessly. Su Biruo held her head and brought out a thick piece of excitement and pride from the corners of her mouth. Shui Yan looked at her, then looked at Li Xiaoyao, raised her eyebrows, and saw Li Xiaoyao looking at herself** and hurriedly pressed down. With a smile, she hurriedly lowered her eyes. It was really easy for the princess to deal with Su Biruo.
In a good time, the woman led Yu Yuanshan and Shi Yu in. Li Xiaoyao introduced several people to meet and ordered Nanning to accompany them. Shi Yu and Yu Yuanshan took Su Zixin and Su Biruo out of Zhuangzi and went to the mansion to see Mr.
