Facts have proved that Guanda is really easy to handle. After a while, a few side dishes and the fragrant white fungus and lotus seed porridge were placed on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Continue talking." The meal had already been served, and the middle-aged man looked at him and urged.
"Where did you just say?" Li Yi was hungry, so he was not polite. He drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before he said, "Oh yes, I remembered. When it comes to cooking porridge... this white fungus and lotus seed porridge is boiled. The heat is a bit too high, the white fungus is boiled, which affects the taste, but the taste of these small dishes is not bad, do you want to try it... "
"..." The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.
"Well, you're right, this porridge is indeed too hot." The middle-aged man drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and reached an agreement with Li Yi on this matter.
The old man standing quietly behind the man could not help but twitch his coffin face when he heard this.
The emperor of a country, without telling the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, went on tour in disguise, just to discuss the heat of the porridge with others
It only takes one day to reach Qing'an Mansion by water from the capital, but if you want to go back to the palace, it will take at least six or seven days.
This tour was not carried out with great fanfare, and there was no large group of people to accompany the tour, but in order to protect the safety of His Majesty and Empress, almost all the masters in the palace came out, so naturally the itinerary was not going anywhere soon.
If His Majesty's identity is accidentally exposed, those censors will probably be busy after returning to the court.
Time is running out, and returning to the palace as soon as possible is the most important thing, what is the heat issue to discuss!
Of course, he could only think about these words in his heart, but he couldn't say them out.
…
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. That's a good point." He was really surprised to hear such an argument from a scholar.
"If the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, who will have nothing to do and go to rebel, whoever rebels they are in a hurry, but if they can't even eat enough, there is really nothing else to do except rebellion .”
The truth is this. Today, Confucianism is used to govern the country. Naturally, it protects the interests of Confucianism, that is, the interests of officials and rulers. It is far from enough to pay attention to the people at the bottom.
When you have nothing to do, it's good to have someone chatting to relieve boredom. Although the person in front of you may be a high-ranking official, what he said is not treasonous. Li Yi doesn't really care if the other party listens or not.
"Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. In short, don't toss the people if you have something to do, and nothing big will happen." Li Yi flipped a fish on the table, "Just like this fish, it has been flipped too many times. , the meat is all scattered, and it doesn’t taste good.”
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish..."
Hearing a witty remark again, the man's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to ask further, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, eat the vegetables, don't talk about these useless things."
"Useless things?"
It was the first time he heard people say that the way of governing the country was useless, the man showed astonishment on his face, then he squinted his eyes and glanced at the young man opposite, not angry, but more curious about him in his heart.
Although he didn't talk a lot, he could be said to be very precise, even some seemingly rough words, when you think about it carefully, there is some truth.
"In the past two years, my country has been plagued by many disasters. The drought has just passed, and the south has suffered floods. Virtue leads to many evil consequences..."
"fart!"
The middle-aged man was interrupted by Li Yi before he finished speaking: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, what does it have to do with the emperor? According to this, if I accidentally fell when I went out in the morning, can it also be blamed on the emperor's lack of virtue?" ?”
Except for the inexplicable sealing of him as a county lieutenant, which made Li Yi complain about the current emperor, in other respects, his impression of him is pretty good.
After all, judging from the various decrees implemented by Jingguo, His Majesty the emperor does not seem to be a foolish emperor. Even Li Yi has to remember his kindness in terms of temporarily exempting Qing'an Mansion and the surrounding disaster-stricken cities from taxation.
The old man behind the man just wanted to say "presumptuous", but he dared to use that indecent word in front of today's people... However, before he could say it, His Majesty waved his hand behind him and glared at the young man. , then shut up.
"well said!"
Li Yi naturally didn't know that his invisible flattery just hit the heart of the man opposite him.
It's not easy to be an emperor these days!
In the territory of Jingguo, where there was a disaster, where there was a bandit, where there was a strange thing... all of them were blamed on the emperor, and he was wronged enough to be the emperor.
Although the words of the young scholar on the opposite side were unpleasant, he felt refreshed when he heard them. If he hadn't considered his status, even he would have wanted to swear so happily.
In an instant, when he looked at the young man again, his eyes were full of appreciation.
Young people, with ideas and insight, can be of great use!
Although the imperial examination is still the most common and important way for scholars to enter the official career, when the country is in urgent need of talents, it will not block all roads. If there are truly outstanding talents in a certain field, they will be jointly recommended by local officials After the Ministry of Finance reviewed and submitted it to the emperor, it was not impossible to make an exception for the appointment.
At this moment, for the young man in front of him, he obviously had such thoughts.
Of course, with his status and status, there is no need for local recommendation at all, and the review by the Ministry of Officials is just a matter of one sentence.
"You are young, but you have a bit of real talent and learning. Although you are only a scholar, it is not a big problem. The court will never bury talents. If you are interested, I can recommend it to the court. I want to find an official for you. Part-time work is still possible, I wonder what you like?" The middle-aged man looked at Li Yi and said with a smile.
He was really moved to cherish his talents, and after a few words, he agreed with his views on governing the country. Of course, he did not rule out the "fart" just now, which also added a lot of points to his heart. .
Since they are talents, they must be used by the country. The right way is to build a harmonious and beautiful country together. To bury talents... This is not what Mingjun does.
Li Yi's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the expression on his face was a little dazed again.
This scene seems a little familiar.
This seems to be the second time...
It's just a casual chat, as for
Sure enough, the misfortune came from the mouth. If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have said that just now.
Slowly put down the chopsticks, and said regretfully: "To tell you the truth, I have actually suffered from a chronic disease since I was a child..."
