Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 863: Just do practical things and don't envy immortals

Views:

After staying in Penglai for three days, Li Bai was the first to be unable to stay. He wanted to see Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan earlier. One was to see with his own eyes the two people who had been passed on to the gods, and the other was to recommend them to them. .

In the three days, in order to satisfy Li Yu, Li Bai really wrote a lot of poems. Naturally, he did not drink less, and it was good to get together with a bunch of literati who were attracted by the high rewards.

Li Yu originally planned to quarrel between the literati according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s original ideas, but because of Li Bai’s joining, he wrote several good poems in succession, and it became a situation where many people began to agree with the Heishui Metropolitan Government, almost falling apart. .

There are very few people who have been to Heishui Dudu Mansion, and they don’t know the specific situation there. However, it is conceivable that people with good literary talent will write a poem or a fu, and those with good painting skills will also write based on the appearance of winter elsewhere. Draw pictures of snow scenes.

The rime picture of Wang Juan was there, and it also gave them a reference to imitate sublimation.

Li Yu chose a good frame and hung it up, and within three days, Penglai became a focus of discussion about Heishui Dudu Mansion. Anyone who came to Penglai found that if he didn't talk about Heishui Dudu Mansion, it seemed that he couldn't keep up. The times are the same.

Seeing that the general situation is complete, Li Yu did not intend to stay in Penglai to waste time. He arranged a few smart people to take charge of the next propaganda matters. After several hints from Li Bai, he finally brought more than 400 people from Anzhou. People, take a boat and travel towards Jilizhou.

After half a day of the boat trip, at midday, Li Yu set up a banquet on the bow and found Li Bai to continue drinking, and wanted to discuss with Li Bai about going to the Blackwater Dudu's House to help him.

Li Bai happily paid the banquet. These three days can be regarded as an addiction. I used to know that Bihaiyinsha's wines and dishes are good. Unfortunately, I did not dare to go up to the third floor once. At most, I was invited by others to go up to the second floor. So expensive.

There is a big difference in the price of good wine and bad wine. In the past three days, white wine and wine were changed back and forth, and then touted by other people whose literary talents are not as good as Li Bai, Li Bai has a kind of unfamiliar feeling. Human feelings.

The wind blows from the sea, with the salty smell of the sea, and the fishing boats in the distance are chasing the direction where the seabirds are hovering. The sun is shining on the waves, sparkling endlessly, making Li Bai, who has never really gone out to sea, feels much in his heart. A different kind of feeling.

"Taibai, when I return to Jilizhou, I see Xiaobao and the cuckoo. It is estimated that they can let you and me go to the Heishui Dudu Mansion to work. I don't know what errand Taibai wants to do?"

Li Yu is cooking rice wine today, adding ginger, salt, and sugar to the wine container from time to time. While waiting for it to open, he asked Li Bai.

Li Bai hesitated when he heard what Li Yu said, and asked, "I wonder if I can work with Zhang Cishi and Wang Canjun?"

Li Yun blinked and felt a little uncomfortable. He understood what Li Bai meant. Didn’t he just want to do things next to someone with great abilities, and then be able to enter the court? When talking to himself yesterday, he told him that he is now Recommendations are not of much use, I think he is going to go the other way.

Li Yu pondered for a while, and was really angry. She was indeed no better than Xiaobao and Juanjuan. Seeing that Li Bai was still waiting for a reply, she thought a little and said: "Taobai, Xiaobao and Juanjuan also like poetry, but only I just like it a little. What he two likes more is to do practical things.

The inner courtyard of the two of them started to learn how to do things when they started in Sanshui County. When they came to Luzhou, they got a lot of opportunities for exercise. Too white, you might as well go to the Heishui Dudu’s Mansion with me to get used to the feeling of being an official. Check the accounts, organize the manual work, and then come to Xiaobao and Juanjuan when it's almost time. "

Li Bai had regrets, thought for a while, and said, "Alright, I don't know what he two like?"

"Like money, Xiaobao likes to make money and spend money. Cuckoo likes to turn money into an army. The more soldiers she can control, the happier. Many officials in the court said that the two of them are too tacky, but they use them while talking. Looking at the things of their two families, I am happy to have a senior member's status as a champion's house and Deyiju. You can't help me in this regard."

Li Yu knew that Li Bai wanted to do what he liked, but it was a pity that ordinary people couldn't help the things that Xiaobao and Juanjuan liked, that is, if the emperor could give some help with policies, it was the return of the two people for their efforts.

Sure enough, Li Bai was worried. He picked up a toon bean, threw it into his mouth and chewed slowly, and asked: "Zhang Cishi and Wang Canjun have other ideas about western Tubo and the surrounding area? I still know a little bit."

"Well, I can talk to him at that time." Li Yu really couldn't bear to hit Li Bai in this regard. Of course, Xiaobao and the others have ideas there, not only ideas, but also actual actions. Let Li Bai talk about it, maybe it can really provide a new idea for the two of them.

He glanced at the boiled wine and felt that the heat was almost over. After taking out two bowls, Li Yu said to Li Bai: "Taibai, don't look at the young Baojuan who seems to be not too old, but he understands a lot. People don’t like things that are too ethereal. Remember, try to be pragmatic when the time comes."

"This is natural." After Li Yu said, Li Bai replied with a little nervousness in his heart.

At this time Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also considering how to arrange for Li Bai.

"Li Bai is coming. Where do you think he should be placed? I also know that he has great ambitions, but he can't always come up and arrange a slaughter for him. Even if it is arranged, Li Longji can't do it. There are still two prime ministers on board. Zhang said that he hasn't gone down. According to normal history, he is finished. Hey, we helped him."

While talking, Zhang Xiaobao wrote a poem on paper with a pen, the moonlight is shining in front of the bed...

Wang Juan glanced at the poem written by Zhang Xiaobao and smiled, "Why do you think of writing this poem? Who knows what Li Bai can do? You have to wait to meet to understand what he will do. I hope he can really have some skills. , So you can let him do more."

Zhang Xiaobao changed a piece of paper and wrote on it: "Those who forsake me, yesterday... I drew a knife and cut water and the water flowed more, and I raised a glass to relieve my sorrow and worry."

After I finished writing, I sang again, "Yesterday was like the flowing water, you can't stay away from me. Today I'm upset and worry about my heart. I draw a knife without water and the water flows even more, raise a glass to relieve my sorrow and worry, the Ming Dynasty..."

"The first paragraph of this song more than a hundred years ago was modified according to the poem he wrote. I think, if an official was arranged for him, he would really do it well, then would we ever read it? Past poems appear

You think Su Shi is pretty good. If his career has been so good, is there still Dongpo meat? Is there still a miserable rain in Ren Pingsheng? The same is true for Li Bai, and the same is true for worldly pleasures. Everything has flowed since ancient times. Did such sentences disappear? "

Zhang Xiaobao is worried about this matter.

Wang Juan shook his head, took Zhang Xiaobao's hand, and said, "So you just write about the moonlight in front of the bed, right? Because this poem is the most confusing, whether this bed is a bed for sleeping or a bench for sitting on? Controversy is like Lang riding a bamboo horse to make green plums around the bed.

In fact, it’s nothing. Even if Li Bai couldn’t write so many unintended poems, he thought he could write another kind of poem. Both Li Shimin and Li Longji wrote poems, and many famous courtiers also have good poems handed down. Really Poets of's can write at any time, just like people at that time like to write diaries.

Words are a kind of carrier. No matter what kind of feeling and mood, you can write, but some people use it well, and they are comfortable to read when they write. Then Xin Qiji is still a general, and he also wrote thousands of Baidus in the crowd. What? It's useless to think so much, see Li Bai early, see what he can do, make arrangements, after all, he is a celebrity. "

"Okay, you can recite a few more poems written by Li Bai, and I will write it down. If he gets here, if he dares to recite poems with me, I will bully him, or let Xiao Yuan do it.

In a few days I should send Xiaobei and the others to Jian'an as officials. They have almost migrated. Let’s take a look at that few people and how they manage them. When I went to give them a lesson yesterday, I just got there. Guess what I encountered. Something? "

Zhang Xiaobao was happy when he talked about his younger siblings. These little guys have their own personalities, and it is not easy to be together so harmoniously.

"What happened to you? Tell me? Did Xiaobei bully people again?" Wang Juan became curious.

"No, after Xiaoyuan memorized Li Weng's rhyme and the Book of Songs, he began to create. When I went, Xiaoyuan was reciting poems to Xiaobei. I didn't know how long I held it, so I squeezed out a Qilu, laughing. I'm dead, hahahaha..."

Zhang Xiaobao squatted to the ground with a smile while talking.

Wang Juan blinked his eyes and looked incredible, "Really? Tell me, what is the Qi Lv Xiao Yuan wrote?"

"What can he write, don't look at how many memorizations he has memorized, it's just like a nursery rhyme when he writes it."

"Then say it quickly."

"Okay." Zhang Xiaobao replied, and began to learn from Xiaoyuan and said: "Babe, look at how round the moon is tonight, I suddenly have a thought, haha, I'm so ridiculous."

"Haha, what happened later?" Wang Juan also laughed twice.

"Later, our Xiaobei said, "Xiaoyuan, are you ill? Today, on the sixth day of the day, you will find a round moon for me to come out and see." Haha, oops, I can't do it anymore."

After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he laughed again, Wang Juan pursed his mouth vigorously, his face flushed.

Zhang Xiaobao went on to learn from Xiaoyuan, "When my heart is round, the moon will be round. I wrote a poem, chanting the moon, which is about the moon."

"Then you can praise it, I am hungry and want to eat the eggplant box, I will let someone make one and send it to you after you praise it." Zhang Xiaobao imitated Beckham's voice again.

Listening to what Zhang Xiaobao said, Wang Juan pinched his thigh with his hand, "What then?"

"Then Xiaoyuan dragged Beckham to not let her go, and promised a lot of benefits. He promised that his eleven guards would also let Beckham give orders. Only then did Xiaoyuan barely stay and listen. You don't even know Xiaoyuan. What is the poem that I'm talking about, oops, I'll take a break."

Zhang Xiaobao fell to the ground as he said, rolling vigorously.

Wang Juan stopped urging at this time, and tried his best not to let himself be like Zhang Xiaobao.

After a while, Zhang Xiaobao grinned and stopped with a pained expression, "Calm down, be calm, and laugh again and I will break my intestines. Listen, Xiao Yuan said, "The moon was not round last night. The moon is round and round today. There are a few tears of the Weaver Girl in the galaxy, and Chang'e silk has been floating in the moon sea. Hugh said that bridge magpies are not easy to build, and the jade rabbit is difficult to pound medicine. Gods have their own sufferings, but mortals can sleep together. Beckham, are you sleepy? Go to sleep? You are next to the wall, and I am outside you, against the wind. "Xiaobei" You stay away from me, I heard you say it's colder, I really went to eat, do you eat it? I won’t give you a portion if you don’t eat it. "Hahaha..."

Another day, Li Bai’s boat finally arrived at the pier in Jilizhou. Everyone was very curious about this place when they were on the boat. They all said that Jilizhou was poor in the past. Later, when Zhang Cishi and Wang Canjun came, they changed. Get rich.

Hearing is fictitious, seeing is believing, everyone does not know how poor Jilizhou was before, but at this time they have seen the prosperity.

Anzhou is located in the north of the Yangtze River. There are large rivers flowing into the river. It is quite prosperous with many people. It is much stronger than the places in the west. It is often heard of the bitter cold in the north, but now it is not seen in Jilizhou. To any bitter cold look.

People come and go on the pier in Jili State, and the live-bearers yelled and sacked bags of goods from ships coming from elsewhere, and transported them to a spacious place on the shore, where there were countless carts and horses. One will leave.

Looking at the shore, there are many restaurants, inns, restaurants and tea shops, and a long street, crowded with people and hawking.

Li Yu once again warned Li Bai, who showed curiosity in his eyes, "The favorite thing Xiaobao and Juanjuan do is to make a poor place rich and let the people have a good life. In normal times, they are more willing to hear It's what a certain common people said about the homework, saying how good life is in their home, rather than listening to whether or not gods will come.

Wherever King Zhang and his family had been officials, the people did not worship gods and sacrifices. When King Zhang lived and the people rose to smoke, if you set the lives of the people in a certain place, you would get a real list of people, You don't need to find Xiaobao and the cuckoo, they will send someone to come to you on their own initiative and arrange for you to be a bigger official. Six officials have already received this kind of treatment. "

Li Bai was indeed shocked by what he saw before him, looked around again, and asked questioningly: "Why don't you see the children? Can they really arrange for someone to do it?"

"It's in class, don't you have a school in Anzhou?" Li Yu asked back.

"I didn't care about it, and no one mentioned it." Li Bai hadn't really cared about such a thing. The Xu family standing next to him reached into Li Bai's ear and said, "Husband, Anzhou is the same. My father will take it out every month. Thousands of money were sent to the school to participate in the Chaoyang Operation, and the husband was busy and never knew it."

Li Bai's face turned pale when he said that. He suddenly remembered what Li Yu said just now, Xiaobao and Juanjuan who like to do practical things will meet at that time. If you ask, if you can't tell, wouldn't it be a loss? good chance

Li Yu said at this time: "If Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to assign someone an official position, it is too easy. The nine little children of the two families are now from the fourth-rank official official. With the eighth-grade real job in hand, Taibai has to work hard."

Li Bai replied again and again, thinking about finding Xu Guiduo to ask about specific things, especially those related to people's livelihood.

"I'll send someone to Xiaobao and the others, so that they can know in advance." Li Yu said, beckoning a person not far away to come over, give a few words, and that person will leave quickly.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't wait for Li Yu's letter, but first received three bad news.

The three news arrived almost at the same time, within a quarter of an hour.

One is from Nihe, one is flying pigeons from the capital, and one is sent by a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River.

With three letters on the table, Zhang Xiaobao's expression was not very good. He glanced at Wang Juan, pointed to the one on the far left, and said: "The news from the capital says that people from the Turkic side suddenly gathered and moved to the north. Then, he sent a letter to Li Longji, saying that he was willing to serve as a minister and asked Li Longji to send someone to manage the place.

Li Longji is obviously unhappy, and the people are gone. Who will be sent out to govern? It seems that King Que Teqin, Zuo Xian, is not reconciled. He would rather brave the cold of the North Land to migrate than to truly belong to Datang. What do you think? "

Wang Juan bit his lip and exhaled a heavy breath through his nose. "Is there a mountain over there? It's not easy to climb the mountain. Now I don't have time to clean them up, let them suffer more, and wait until I'm done with Silla's affairs. See if they are really determined to be hostile.

The second letter said that Silla had trouble with the Nihe on our side. The people of Silla were unwilling to dredge the river and gathered there to hinder construction. This is the attitude of the King of Silla. It is mountainous now. Shao Pingyuan, you say you can't fight. If you fight, I will immediately mobilize the army. "

After talking about the second letter, the two people’s eyes turned to the third letter. This letter was written by a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Many large ships in Japan used to unite with local merchants to explore overseas. Seek to dock freely on Xinyuan Island and supply it.

"How do I think they discussed it? Don't worry about it in Japan. Tell the merchants in Jiangnan Dongdao not to have any cooperation with the Japanese, otherwise there will be no good fruits. If Japan is willing to explore, go by itself. I don't believe them. The boat can run to Malacca without our help.

The Turkic affairs are not in a hurry. They are not suitable for survival at all. They dared to go north and freeze them to death. Didn't they give up the place? Tell us the people in Toyoshu, organize armed guards, and invite other businessmen to enter the Turkic area and open up pastures. "

Zhang Xiaobao pointed his hand down on his face. Wang Juan knew that he was really angry. Some people just didn't see the coffin and didn't cry.

"So it's Silla what we are going to take care of now?"

"Yes, Silla, there is no need to recruit too many troops. Three thousand people are enough. The two of us will go over and see first. If it can be solved without force, then we will not fight, but the river must be open, otherwise the transportation needs to go a lot A bay." Zhang Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said.
