It’s unreasonable to spend the whole night without adding money.
Wu Minzhi took the initiative and acted like he was a fool and had a lot of money, so why should Li Qinzai be polite to him?
"There are more than a hundred households in the village. They were all out last night, looking for you all over the mountains and plains. Each household should be compensated with the same amount of hard work. Isn't that excessive?"
Wu Minzhi shook his head: "It's not too much, it should be, it should be."
"In addition, hundreds of people from my Li family also participated in the search. Each of them will be rewarded with a hundred coins and a drink. Isn't that excessive?"
“Not too much at all.”
"I'm too lazy to calculate the specific amount. If you round it off, you can just pay five hundred guan. Later, I will ask the accountant in the mansion to distribute the money to the bankers."
Wu Minzhi's face froze. More than a hundred households were asked to pay one guan each, rounded up to 500 guan...
He is worthy of being a master of arithmetic in the world. This calculation can be said to touch the soul.
"Is it okay? You said it yourself, you're not short of money." Li Qinzai looked at him with concern, putting his hand on his shoulder, but for some reason, his fingers were slowly moving towards his neck...
Isn't it a secret? If you dare to say no, I'll let you taste what suffocating pleasure is.
Wu Minzhi shook his head and nodded vigorously: "No problem, five hundred strings. I will send someone back to Chang'an to get it right now."
Li Qinzai smiled: "In the future, I might as well disappear a few more times when I have nothing to do. This will also create more opportunities for farmers to make quick money. We can do it several times a year without having to farm."
"Try your best, stupid brother, try your best." Wu Minzhi smiled bitterly.
Five hundred guan is not a small amount, even if it is a wealthy relative, Wu Minzhi will have a heavy bleeding this time, which will really hurt his muscles and bones.
Li Qinzai's eyes showed concern for the mentally retarded, and the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper.
You are still too naive. Wasn't the original Prince Teng richer than you? After dealing with him several times, he was already on the verge of bankruptcy. His own daughter, the head of the county, could not even afford new clothes.
It took a whole year for everyone in the house to recover.
You only weigh a few kilograms, but you dare to rant in front of me about not being short of money...
No, the slap of reality comes quickly and hard, does it hurt?
The smile on Wu Minzhi's face was a little forced.
He is indeed a little crazy, but he is not stupid. Five hundred coins is probably not that easy for a young man who has not yet grasped the family wealth.
Li Qinzai had no intention of letting go.
After Li Zhi became Empress Wu, the Wu family gradually rose to prominence. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of family properties, and they are basically controlled by Wu Minzhi, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, and Empress Wu herself.
With such a huge family property, it is really unreasonable not to have a prodigal son to help with consumption.
"You have made friends, you have drank wine, you have finished your drunken act, dear brother Min Zhi, is it time for you to return to Chang'an?"
Wu Minzhi looked at him with hurt eyes: "Brother Jingchu, are you going to kick out the guests now?"
Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched: "What else? Can you stay at my house for the New Year?"
Wu Minzhi tentatively said: "Why don't you keep Yudi for a few more days? Yudi just gave you five hundred strings, so you can't fall out so quickly, right?"
Li Qinzai rubbed his face and sighed.
How did the Wu family raise such a thing? Not only was he crazy, but he was also thick-skinned.
Looking at it like this, Wu Minzhi didn't seem to want to leave.
"What fun is there in this remote place like mine? Chang'an City is so nice. There are wine shops, brothels, and a bunch of bastards who don't care about life or death and cause trouble all day long to accompany you crazy. Isn't it much more fun than my village?"
Wu Minzhi smiled disdainfully: "The things those bastards in Chang'an City are playing with are all the leftovers from Brother Jingchu's games back then. How can I, a stupid brother, even bother to play with them?"
"Brother Jingchu's Zhuangzi is still more fun, the scenery is pleasant, and the owner is very enthusiastic..."
Li Qinzai said with a cold face: "How could you ever see that I am too passionate about you?"
"Brother Jingchu was very enthusiastic when he beat me..." Wu Minzhi said with a smile.
Li Qinzai sighed.
Let's drive them out. They have indeed just promised to give 500 yuan. Every household in the village has money. What a great benefit. But the money has not been received. It is really not polite to drive people away. What if they regret it after being driven back to Chang'an.
Don't drive people away, just leave this guy in the house. He always feels like a toad is crawling on his feet and feels very sick.
After thinking for a long time, Li Qinzai waved his hand helplessly: "Stay, let my family take you around the area, go hunting, fish, build a bird's nest or something, and then you can get out after finishing the whole farmhouse."
Wu Minzhi happily agreed.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but warned: "Remember, you are not allowed to steal the farmers' chickens, and you are not allowed to chase the farmers' dogs. If the dogs in the village chase you, you can run away, but you cannot bite them. Dogs are so innocent.
, suffered this fate inexplicably..."
After sending Wu Min away, Li Qinzai sighed sadly.
Then Liu Asi was called, and Li Qinzai ordered: "Say hello to the farmers, each household should keep a close eye on its chickens and dogs, and by the way, each household's hut should also keep a close eye on it..."
Liu Asi was shocked and said: "Why are you keeping an eye on the latrine? Are you afraid that Wu Minzhi will steal the shit?"
Li Qinzai said quietly: "What if?"
How can the thinking of a madman be inferred by common sense?
…………
He arranged for several people to follow Wu Minzhi anytime and anywhere, and Li Qinzai no longer cared about him.
Looking at it from time to time, Wu Minzhi probably wouldn't be able to do anything shocking.
After giving lessons to his disciples in the school in the morning, Li Qinzai yawned and returned to the other courtyard.
I was just about to go inside and take a nap. As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I heard a bang from the side room.
Li Qinzai felt nervous and hurriedly entered the house.
But he saw Cui Jie's pretty face was covered in frost, and porcelain fragments were scattered on the ground.
"What's wrong? Why are you angry with Porcelain? You prodigal mother-in-law. Porcelain is free of charge?" Li Qinzai was unhappy.
Although a pregnant mother-in-law has an unstable temperament, she should not be too accustomed to it.
Cui Jie's eyes were red, she took out a piece of paper from the table and handed it to him, saying aggrievedly: "Husband, you must take care of this matter."
Li Qinzai took the paper and asked, "What must I take care of?"
Opening the letter, Li Qinzai read it up and down, his brows gradually wrinkled.
A letter from the Lord of Jinxiang County. She was detained by her father for more than half a month.
It's okay to be put in solitary confinement. I'm teaching my daughter a lesson. It's a matter of course and understandable.
But for some unknown reason, King Teng urgently arranged a marriage for her. The other party was Yu Yin, the son of Yu Su, the then crown prince who was a famous official in the Tang Dynasty.
The elders of the two parents have begun to contact each other and even exchanged the birthdays of their children. This is equivalent to the process of "asking for names" in the six rites.
According to the letter from the Lord of Jinxiang County, King Teng has invited Taoist priests to calculate the date and prepare to get married around summer.
Cui Jie was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly. She slapped the table hard and said sternly: "Jinxiang is from my Li family. Her husband has already been decided. How can she be allowed to have another husband? This is absolutely not allowed!"
Li Qinzai's face didn't look good either. He put down the letter, glanced at Cui Jie, and asked curiously: "Why is Madam so angry?"
Cui Jie glared at him fiercely and said, "Didn't your husband read the letter carefully? Jinxiang is so worried that he is about to hang himself from his bed. Why don't you think of a solution soon?"
"Since she has made a lifelong promise to her husband, she is now a member of our family. Even though I feel uncomfortable, I cannot allow outsiders to bully her. Before my husband, she and I have been close friends for many years."
Li Qinzai opened the letter and read it again, his brows furrowing more and more as he read it.
Fold the letter and put it in your arms.
Li Qinzai said slowly: "I will solve this matter."
