After the pacification envoy, Mr. Li Guangdi, was "pacified" by the young emperor, he was appointed as the deputy governor of the Northeast and supervisor of the Northeast Army, replacing Ao Bai as the "second in command" of the Northeast. His rank was also upgraded five levels in a row, becoming a legitimate second-rank official.
The position of deputy governor is a sinecure, and as for supervising the army, Li Guangdi's intentional "inaction" seems to be even more sinister.
There is no battle to fight for the time being, so monitor the army!
So Li Guangdi "idlely" built a thatched cottage next to Mr. Xiao Jia's 100 acres of official land, which he called "Xianxian Thatched Cottage". He also erected a signboard directly in front of the thatched cottage, written in neat regular script.
Go to the "Northeast Governor Demonstration Field".
Li Guangdi is trying to embarrass the Governor.
Didn't do that.
In the officialdom, everyone is talking lies and empty words. If it can't be realized, at worst, it can just find an excuse to make it come true. Why should it be taken seriously?
Ten days have passed, and the rice seedlings in other farmland have begun to turn green, but the governor's rice seedlings are still yellow and have no intention of growing at all.
The people who came to Xianxian Thatched Cottage were all officials and scholars. Every time after drinking tea, Mr. Li Guangdi would take the guests to the Governor's Demonstration Field for an "outing". His intention was very obvious and his thoughts were very sinister.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) also comes often and wanders around in his demonstration field.
"Everything has been arranged?"
"It's all arranged. We are now the two most idle people in the whole Northeast, so we came here to have tea with you, a idle person. You should also be tidy up. Your thatched cottage is so shabby... you bastards
Scholars just like to adjust this tune."
"What does it mean to be a poor scholar? Don't you, a rich and idle man like you, not study? The mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they are famous. The water is not deep, if there are dragons, they are spiritual. This is a thatched cottage, but I am virtuous. The steps on the fields and banks are green and the color of grass
Entering the green curtain, there are famous scholars talking and laughing, and there are no idle people coming and going. You can tune the plain piano and read the golden scriptures. There is no mess of silk and bamboo, and there is no labor of writing documents. How can I have a place to drink tea? "
This conversation happened every time I came here, and even the personal guards who followed me could recite the "Inscription on the Humble Room" backwards.
After drinking tea from "Xianxianren", Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) would also go to his official field and hook eels with a small bamboo pole with an iron hook on it.
When I saw the eel hole, I inserted and pulled it between the two holes, and a snake-like eel was hooked out. The hook was accurate nine times out of ten.
After hooking about twenty fish, he went back to the Xianxian Cottage to cook grilled eels. The fumes from the Cottage made the "Xianxian Man" stare in anger, but he ate the most every time.
Ten days have passed, and there is no change in the rice seedlings. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), the "rich and idle man", seems to be anxious.
A marble statue of an old man about ten feet high was brought in, and he kept clasping his palms together, "Old man, please bless my seedlings to grow quickly and crazily..."
Is this okay?
It seems to work really well.
On the fifth day, "Xianxian Man" had just gotten up when he heard the "Rich and Noble Idle Man" shouting outside the thatched cottage, "Teacher Xianxian, get up and take a look, my seedlings have started to grow."
Li Guangdi walked out of the thatched cottage, took a second look, and curled his lips, "It's just a little green. Normally planted seeds have already turned green. What's all the fuss about."
"How about we make another bet, that my rice fields will grow faster than other rice plants in half a month?"
"You are a scholar with a lot of poems in the imperial capital. You talk about gambling all day long. It is really insulting to gentlemen... I won't gamble with you, I will kill you! The scenery is so beautiful, how about writing a few poems?"
"It's such a wonderful spring time. Why don't we have some wine and go on a vacation or something? What kind of words should we fill in?"
"You haven't produced anything new for a long time. Could it be that you have exhausted your talent?"
It is true that some of his "talent" has been exhausted. Many of the wonderful poems of later generations were "written" by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), and now he really doesn't have much in his stomach.
However, I have hundreds of years more "experience" than this "idle person", so I still have something to look for.
Hearing Li Guang say, "The scenery is uniquely beautiful," Baoyu had an idea and said, "Then, can I compose a song?"
What does "whole" mean? Do you think it's "dish"?
Li Guangdi really didn't like Baoyu's (Ran Xiaoshi) attitude towards poetry.
Holding his breath, he said angrily: "Let's fix it."
Stand tall, hold your hands clasped flat in front of your chest, raise your head, and look up at the sky at an angle of thirty degrees... When we "organize" poems, we must have the style of a great poet.
"The east is about to dawn, so don't leave early.
You are still young when you travel through the Qingshan Mountains, but the scenery here is uniquely beautiful.
The peak outside Ning Ancient City is directly connected to the east.
Xianxian pointed at the rice fields, which were even more lush and green."
A song "Qing Ping Le? Huichang" by a great man of later generations was "rectified" by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
Just changing "Southern Guangdong" to "Rice Field" seems a lot stingy.
Li Guangdi was stunned.
"The scenery is uniquely beautiful" is what I just said, the "rice fields" are also ready-made, and people come here early in the morning... These are all very cleverly arranged by this "rich and idle man".
"Idle people, don't be in a daze, you can also compose two songs."
Only then did Li Guangdi wake up, "It's dawn in the east, so don't leave early. People who have traveled through the green mountains are still young, but the scenery here is unique...With these two sentences, there are no more poems today!"
"Okay, I think so too. If the seedlings in my farmland exceed the other seedlings in another half month, Teacher Xianxian, you can change the Xianxian Cottage into a Xianxian Tavern... What's the point of drinking tea?
, If you want to drink, just drink the Moutai and Wuliangye I made newly." After saying that, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) raised his legs and left.
This is the advantage of being an official, you can be unrestrained.
"What kind of wine are Moutai and Wuliangye? Are they good to drink?"
"Teacher Xianxian, you'd better remove the word "So?". This is the best wine in my... hometown, and now I've taken advantage of it. If you want to drink it, you can. Write a few words for me, Maotai and Wuliangye, five
The big characters, plus the introduction, are just a thousand words... If you write well, you will get two bottles for free."
Li Guangdi's calligraphy was good and he was famous in the court. He usually wrote a plaque with one character, twenty-two characters per character.
What kind of wine are you talking about? Two bottles are worth 20,000 taels!
"I won't write it." Li Guangdi also lost his temper and refused on the spot.
"Haha...it doesn't matter. When the time comes, you will have to beg me to write."
Li Guangdi was well-known in the court for being a good drinker, but he really didn't like ordinary good wine.
The exquisite products "Maotai" and "Wuliangye" from later generations will tempt you to death, just wait and see!
Li Guangdi watched the seedlings grow wildly day by day.
In less than half a month, only ten days, the rice seedlings in Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) Guan's field were lush and lush, much lusher and greener than those in other farmland.
"He was lucky enough to win again... Who is this Yuan Longping? Is he his immortal master?" Li Guangdi turned around countless times under the marble statue, and the three words "Yuan Longping" on the base looked extremely large.
