Li Zhi has always attached great importance to what Li Qinzai said, the suggestions he made, and the new things he created.
Because Li Qinzai has proven his extraordinary time and time again.
From time to time until now, Li Qinzai's life is not tiring. He is like a salted fish, wasting away his time doing nothing and enjoying life with peace of mind.
Whether it is teaching or new inventions, they all seem to be just spices in the midst of extreme boredom, adding a touch of color to a somewhat boring life.
But we have to admit that these colors added when we were bored were like drizzles falling continuously, moistening things and silently changing the Tang Dynasty.
There is no need to beat gongs and drums to promote something vigorously. Perhaps many years later, when the subjects look back, they will suddenly realize that the world has been very different in these years.
Then, people will think of the person who changed everything.
At that time, Li Qinzai might still be a salty fish who did not seek to make progress. He might be worrying about what to eat for three meals a day, having headaches for those stupid students, wiping his wife's eyebrows, and wiping his son's troubles.
…
Enjoying life is the most important thing, everything else is just incidental.
It’s not that he doesn’t have a heart for dedication, it’s just that he can’t regard dedication as his lifelong career. Li Qinzai can’t be that great.
Li Zhi was still staring at the map at his feet, as if he wanted to remember every stroke of it in his heart.
After a long time, Li Zhi suddenly stretched out his foot and wiped the map clean, turned around and said seriously: "I can trust Jing Chu's ability, you have never let me down."
"Tonight you draw a detailed map for me. I will take it back to Chang'an and think about it in detail. I will also discuss it with the left and right ministers and the old generals. This matter is serious and cannot be taken lightly."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have drawn a treasure mountain for you. This treasure mountain is empty. We have accumulated national strength and then go to the mountain to get the treasure."
Li Zhi was silent for a moment and said softly: "I made a great wish on the day I ascended the throne. In this life, I will create a civilized and martial arts that surpasses my father. If Jingchu's map is true, then my great wish is really close to being realized."
Not far away."
"As long as I live, I will seize every day. If I can really live to the day when the people of the Tang Dynasty don't have to worry about food and clothing, I will be able to pray to Mount Tai and offer sacrifices to heaven and my ancestors. I will have no regrets in this life."
Patting Li Qinzai's shoulder, Li Zhi said seriously: "Jingchu, you have to help me."
Li Qinzai was touched and bowed: "I will try my best."
Li Zhi laughed again: "Jingchu's abilities are simply unfathomable. You have to live a good life, take out all the abilities in your heart, and teach them to your disciples. Otherwise, how can you smile at Jiuquan?"
Li Qinzai's old face darkened.
Fortunately, I was inexplicably moved just now and planned to devote myself to the Tang Dynasty, but you are worried about whether I can smile...
I'll pretend to be a corpse and let you see what a fucking surprise is, okay?
…………
Prince Teng stayed in the Li Family Courtyard and refused to leave. Even though he had a fight with the owner of the Li Family Courtyard, he still stayed in the Courtyard with peace of mind and pretended that nothing happened.
The old man's face is thick and thick, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.
As the daughter of Prince Teng and a guest of another court, the head of Jinxiang County was vaguely aware of what happened between Prince Teng and Li Qinzai last night.
Thinking about it made her feel ashamed, but there was nothing she could do.
She has been very clear about her father's virtues since she was a child.
When Li Qinzai accompanied Li Zhi to inspect the cement kiln, Prince Teng was not idle either. He called Jin Xiang over alone, and the father and daughter chatted for a long time.
When Jin Xiang came out, he had a look of helplessness and rejection. He stood in the yard of Li's house and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and knocked on Cui Jie's door.
Cui Jie was sitting alone in the room. There was a huge sheepskin map on the table. Jinxiang recognized it at a casual glance. It was a map of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was very detailed.
The map not only shows the prefectures and counties, but also marks the roads between cities and towns in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
Jinxiang came to Cui Jie with a mission from his father.
Ever since Li Qinzai said something last night that there was a way for Prince Teng to stay in Chang'an, Prince Teng had kept these words in his heart.
I asked Li Qinzai several times overtly and secretly, but Li Qinzai was vindictive and ignored him at all. I was afraid that even if he added money this time, it would not work.
Of course the shameless old man would not give up, so he adopted a roundabout strategy and asked his daughter to ask Cui Jie for help.
The old father begged and begged, but Jinxiang really couldn't refuse. While he was angry and refused to argue, in his heart he really hoped that his father could stay in Chang'an to take care of his old age.
So Jinxiang knocked on Cui Jie's door.
The two best friends were already very familiar with each other, and there was no false etiquette when they met. Jin Xiang walked in naturally, but Cui Jie didn't even raise her head, her eyes were still staring at the map in front of her.
Jinxiang asked curiously: "Why are you looking at the map of Tang Dynasty?"
Cui Jie looked up and Jin Xiang was startled when he saw her eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.
Cui Jie's eyes were full of little stars, and her eyes were shining brightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Jin Xiang asked with some fear.
Cui Jie let out a long aria, held her chin in her hands and said infatuatedly: "...My husband is so amazing!"
Jinxiang:???
"County Lord, come here and take a look at this map..."
"What happened to the map?"
Cui Jie pointed to the roads connecting various cities on the map and said: "Yesterday, my husband proposed to the emperor to build all the roads in the Tang Dynasty with cement. One is to use work in exchange for relief, giving the people a way to survive in disaster years, and the other is to connect the world.
Benefiting the people, the third is to establish a destiny for the people, and the imperial power will be permanent."
Jin Xiang looked along her fingers, his expression deep in thought.
Cui Jie is a young lady from an aristocratic family, and Jin Xiang is a member of the royal family. Both women are proficient in poetry and have extraordinary knowledge. Their background determines their height, and they are naturally familiar with national affairs.
Jin Xiang stared at the map for a long time and nodded in praise: "If the roads in the world are really connected and paved with cement to build flat avenues, it will be of great significance. It will be of great benefit to the court, the government and the people. Uncle Li County deserves it."
He is a talented person, and his advice will go down in history."
Cui Jie wrinkled her nose proudly and said with a smile: "The husband I married is naturally extraordinary. I heard that Your Majesty and the Queen discussed it for a long time last night and decided to bring your husband's advice to the court for discussion and regard it as a national policy to be implemented throughout the world."
Jinxiang hesitated for a moment and said: "It is very difficult to promote the world. If it can be done, it will indeed be a great thing and very important to consolidate the imperial power. I really don't know how County Uncle Li came up with such a brilliant idea."
Cui Jie became even more proud: "In short, my husband is amazing!"
Jinxiang sighed helplessly.
Since entering the house, this woman has already said "my husband is awesome" three times. Does she have to show off like this?
She really should have been allowed to see her husband's face when he cheated money and deceived the noble vassal king completely. He lacked great virtue.
