Chapter 362 Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs (2)
"School?? There are only dozens of Jinshi in the imperial examination every year. Even if you win, you have to be ranked according to seniority. You have to wait until the year of the monkey to fill the vacancy. Being an official is so cumbersome. How many people can get out of trouble in a year? It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective...
..." Li Chengxiao stroked his beard, and after just a moment's thought, he rejected the idea, but Yan Bing just smiled...
"My grandfather... Who said you have to be an official to make money? Now you are no longer that old man..." Yan Bing chuckled. Through this conversation and exchange, she had become more and more aware of Li Chengxiao.
His temper was gone, so Yan Bing did not go around the bush and shouted directly to Li Lingyue in the distance: "Lingyue, help me call my fourth uncle and ask him to bring the rifle... I want to show it to my grandfather...
"
Lingyue nodded, put down the tea cup and trotted out, while Li Bing drank tea and continued chatting with the old man.
"Grandpa, do you know how much silver each of the craftsmen in the younger generation's workshop can earn per year?" After Yan Bing finished speaking, before Old Man Li could speak, he slowly stretched out three fingers.
Li Chengxiao squinted at Yan Bing's three fingers, and then guessed: "Thirty taels??"
"It's three hundred taels... If you do well, there will be another reward!" Yan Bing gave the answer with a proud look on his face. While sipping tea, he secretly observed Li Chengxiao who looked puzzled.
"Three hundred taels!!?? But as far as I know, even experienced craftsmen only earn three hundred and fifty taels of silver throughout the year. How come you can get such a raise!? You are like this
Raising wages arbitrarily requires breaking a lot of rules..."
"Rules? Grandfather, who established this rule...have you ever thought about it?" Yan Bing continued while drinking tea, unhurriedly: "And this scholar, farmer,
Who arranged the differences in status between industry and commerce, who is superior and who is inferior? Has it existed since ancient times...?"
When Li Chengxiao heard this, he suddenly sat up straight and cast an admiring glance at the little girl in front of him. This was also the first time that he began to look squarely at the young man in front of him...
"I heard what you meant by what you said...do you want to...break this rule?"
"Yes! Break it! And this rule! It was tailor-made by those scholar-bureaucrats, squires, and wealthy families for themselves! They want to rely on this rule to survive until the country is ruined and the country is destroyed! They are dreaming!! These people
They are pests that only suck the blood of the people and their anointing! I will definitely step on them hard! Only by making them unable to stand up forever can I relieve my anger!!"
"Hey! He's not big, but his tone is big!" Li Chengxiao looked at Yan Bing who was extremely angry and laughed out loud. He raised his hand to pick up the tea bowl, took a sip of hot tea, and said leisurely: "Then let's follow
Let me tell you, what do you want to do after you break it?"
"What do I want to do...?" Yan Bing was stunned by this question, so he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Li Chengxiao with a serious face, and answered word for word: "I want to... build a
Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, everyone
Equality, the revitalization of all industries, the pillar of incomparable strength!!! I want our Chinese people to be superior to others no matter where we go! I want our Chinese civilization to remain proud in the world after thousands of years! Brilliant and dazzling!
!!”
"Pfft——!!" The hot tea that Li Chengxiao just drank was sprayed all over the floor... He raised his head, looked at Yan Bing as if he were a fool, and then burst out laughing, until
Tears almost burst out of laughter
After arriving, Li Chengxiao suppressed his smile, pointed at Yan Bing and said: "You little girl, you are really interesting, you are somewhat similar to me when I was young... It's a pity... these are just yellow beams after all.
It’s just a dream…”
When Yan Bing heard this, he frowned and said angrily, "What? Grandpa doesn't believe I can do it??"
"Tsk...I can't say whether I believe it or not...it's just that when I was young, I also worked hard in this direction, and the result...hehehe..." After the old man smiled bitterly a few times, he spread his palms and said two words.
.
"No chance!"
After Li Chengxiao finished speaking, seeing that Yan Bing wanted to speak again, he quickly raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he should finish speaking first.
"When I first founded Baolong Pavilion, I thought... I would rely on my skills and the reputation I have accumulated to do something practical for the people of the world. Even if I cannot save all the people from disaster, at least I can help.
Let them lighten their burden... So, I specifically chose the escort business, and even lowered the escort fees to the minimum right from the start...
At first... everything seemed to be exactly as I expected. Many escort agencies either followed the trend and lowered their prices, or folded their flags to vote. The prices of many things also followed the downward trend. It seemed that everything was developing in a good direction.
, but unfortunately... this... only lasted less than five years..."
Speaking of this, Li Chengxiao suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Yan Bing...
"Qihua... you might as well guess... what has happened in the past five years... If you guess it right! I believe you can do it!!"
Yan Bing laughed directly after hearing this. After finishing his laughter, he let out a long sigh.
"Grandpa... Do you even need to guess? The price difference saved was either flattened by the merchants, or taxed by the government... People are not satisfied... The snake swallows the elephant..."
"Ouch!! You little girl, you have some real skills!!" Li Chengxiao smiled with his eyes raised, and then he stroked his beard and asked slowly: "Then if it were you...what would you do?
?”
"Me?" Yan Bing pointed at himself, then raised his head to look at the sky, thought for a moment, and said in deep thought: "What if it were me...well...instead of sending...it would be better to give it away...rather than giving it away...it would be better to accept it...
...Instead of collecting... it is better to buy it myself... When I accumulate from the first step to the last step, then the price of the goods will really be decided by me alone..."
"Escort...resale...acquisition...purchase..." Li Chengxiao murmured to himself, chewing on these words over and over... After a long time, he sighed and said slowly in a sad and angry tone: "Look
Come on...I'm really just a martial artist, I can't compare with you..."
"Huh? Grandpa... don't belittle yourself! After all, there are only a few people who can cultivate to your level from ancient times to the present. If you are always moaning and groaning, how can you let ordinary people live?"
Yan Bing was gesturing politely when suddenly there was a sound from the door behind him. Lingyue and Li Jing'an had already opened the door and walked in.
As soon as Lingyue entered the door, she happened to see Mr. Li grimacing, lowering his head and sighing. He and Yan Bing were the only two people in the room. If that wasn't Yan Bing, who else could it be!??
"Yan! Qi! Hua!!! Are you talking nonsense again to make my grandpa unhappy!!??"
"I?? I didn't! How dare I..." Yan Bing looked aggrieved at this moment, but just halfway through her explanation, she saw Mr. Li opposite him waving his hand and saying slowly to Lingyue: "Yue'er.
...She is your husband...How can you scold her in front of everyone? This is really not appropriate..."
After the old man finished speaking, not only Yan Bing was stunned, but also Li Lingyue and Li Jingan were stunned on the spot...
Old man Li actually scolded Lingyue for me...!!??
My grandfather actually... scolded me for her...!!??
My dad...!! He actually scolded Yue'er...!!??
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces...
Only the old man himself was still beating his chest and sighing...
The Bamboo House is...quiet and eerie at the moment...
