Li Si has learned that the imperial court has announced the establishment of the imperial examination, allowing students from all over the world to have the opportunity to become officials in the imperial court.
At the same time, the status of students was also raised. Only a few days after the imperial decree was issued, countless students gathered in Xianyang.
If a scholar dresses up, isn't he just a student? Any student approaching Chang'an Township must understand it clearly.
So, he struck up a conversation with the scholar.
The scholar was none other than Xiao He. He found this place after many inquiries.
"Sir, are you here for a visit?"
Xiao He saw that this man was well dressed and didn't look like a gangster, so he didn't hide it. He nodded and said, "Exactly, my uncle lives here and I want to find him."
"That's it! But you have to pay attention. The environment here is harsh, and the master is even more vicious and greedy. He is arrogant and rude, and has a habit of mistreating his servants. Don't get close to him."
Li Si seemed to be giving a kind reminder.
Xiao He frowned, nodded doubtfully, then thanked Li Si and walked in.
At first glance, I was extremely disappointed, but I actually believed most of Li Si’s words.
The farmland under the loess, the desolate distant hills, and the dilapidated manor are all very different from the prosperity of Xianyang City.
"It turns out that the master of this place really abuses his servants, otherwise it wouldn't be so miserable."
The land is prosperous and it is all man-made! If people don't act, they will decline.
"Uncle, I know how prosperous you are in Xianyang, but it turns out you are just an abused farmer. How sad!"
Xiao He couldn't help but lament for his uncle.
Not all the housekeepers in Xianyang's mansions were incomparable glory, but this was the case for my uncle.
Seeing that there were not many people in the courtyard of the manor, and he could not see his uncle, he wandered around.
The rice in the farmland is quite luxuriant and green. I believe it can produce two stones per hour, which is already very good. Looking further away, there are many people busy. Even though they are so far away, there is a smell. The smell hit his face and made him sick.
"Such a stinky smell must be caused by mistreatment by the master." He completely believed Li Si's words.
"Uncle! I've wronged you."
Xiao He couldn't see his uncle, so he looked for him in the manor, but still couldn't find his uncle, so he went outside and happened to see the two of them. He recognized his uncle at a glance and walked over quickly.
"Uncle, I finally found you."
Butler Xiao also recognized Xiao He and immediately became enthusiastic.
The uncle and nephew reminisced about old times, and the housekeeper quickly introduced, "Ah He, this is young master Li Zhao."
"Master, this is my old nephew Xiao He."
"Master?" His uncle told him in the letter that there is only one young master in the master's family, so he must be the master.
Xiao He looked at Li Zhao. Although he was dressed normally, the greedy look in his eyes after hearing about him made people tremble.
He is indeed a greedy person.
Looking at his uncle's hand, he was actually holding some bark, hemp, rags and other vulgar objects. He was dirty and looked like he was being abused. And looking at Li Zhao, he was dressed in splendor, forming a clear contrast with his uncle. Compared.
In fact, Xiao Heyi was wrong. The reason why the housekeeper took these things was specially arranged by Li Zhao. He wanted to make paper and complete the task assigned by Qin Shihuang.
"Sure enough, I like to abuse others. Uncle, it will be difficult for you to follow such a master." Xiao He thought to himself, showing compassion for his uncle.
But he said hello politely. After all, this is the young master of his uncle's family. He couldn't lose face. "I've met the young master."
Li Zhao was indeed greedy for Xiao He. He looked at Xiao He as if he were seeing a piece of beautiful jade. Yes, this person was a piece of beautiful jade.
These are the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty! The founding heroes and politicians after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty!
A well-known person, definitely a talented person!
Xiao He was a little disgusted by being looked at by such a vicious person, and quickly retreated.
"Winning or losing does not matter!"
Li Zhao couldn't help being surprised, and actually stepped forward to grab Xiao He's hand and stroke it.
It was such an honor for Li Zhao that a historical celebrity came to Chang'an Township!
"What are you going to do?" Xiao He shrank, quickly shook off Li Zhao's hand, and said disgustedly.
This guy is not only vicious, but also vulgar. He is a man and he has no hobbies in touching anything.
"Haha!" Li Zhao reacted, feeling that he had been rude, and quickly apologized, but his smile was so evil.
"Uncle, I just came here to visit you and see that you are well. My nephew is relieved. My nephew is going to take the imperial examination and serve the country, so I won't disturb you."
Xiao He saluted the butler and was about to leave.
In fact, he wanted to stay a little longer, but after being manipulated by Li Zhao, he had no intention of staying at all.
"Forget it!" The housekeeper glanced at Xiao He and sighed. He also saw that Xiao He had no good impression of this place.
Want to leave? Li Zhao was unwilling. Who is this person? But a historical celebrity! If he takes it for his own use, doesn't that mean he has the capital to rival a country?
One of the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty was not built, otherwise there would be no saying that "Success is Xiaohe and failure is Xiaohe".
Even if you are a bit shameless today, you still have to keep this person. After all, if you want to make money in the future, you must have manpower. The founding minister of the Western Han Dynasty must be a top talent.
"Want to leave? Isn't it that easy?" Li Zhao stopped Xiao He, pretending to be domineering and smiling evilly.
Xiao He was stunned and secretly thought that this person was indeed arrogant and rude. Was he trying to force him to stay and torture him? How could he, a dignified official in Peixian County, be subjected to such abuse?
"Humph!" He rolled up his sleeves and left.
He didn't want to get entangled with such a arrogant person, so he turned to the farmland side. He wanted to spare Li Zhao from this side before walking out.
But this move immediately frightened the animals in the field. In an instant, dozens of birds flew up in fright and flew in different directions.
Li Zhao looked at it and smiled coldly, then he had a plan in mind and shouted:
"What? You actually scared my little bird, my God! I spent countless efforts to raise it!"
"You have to pay, otherwise you won't want to leave here."
this?
Xiao He hated the cold and was so angry that he was going crazy. He secretly thought that he was really arrogant. What frightened the bird? What was his hard work and obvious sophistry? The bird was born to grow forever, how could it be raised by humans?
"Shameless!" Xiao He ignored Li Zhao and walked out, but was stopped by Li Zhao's servants.
This scene was seen by Li Si who was not far away, and he was immediately very happy.
This is great news!
Xiao He is a student, and Li Zhaoqiang keeps Xiao He. Isn't this abuse of students?
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Li Zhao began to abuse his students. That was a serious crime!
Li Si smiled sinisterly and wrote it down secretly.
"Why did you stop me? I didn't do anything wrong?" Xiao He resisted and glared at Li Zhao.
He finally realized the evil in Li Si's mouth. This was evil!
Uncle, uncle actually lives with such a person and still acts as his housekeeper. What a misfortune for the Xiao family!
"Didn't I tell you? You scared away my little bird."
"You know, I raised the little birds specifically to catch bugs in the fields. If they were frightened by you, they all flew away. Who will catch the bugs? They are the harm of rice!"
Li Zhao chuckled.
"you......"
