When Li Qinzai was in Baekje, he actually got along well with Liu Rengui.
When he made the three-eyed gun, you can clearly see the excitement in Liu Rengui's eyes and his respect for the talents of the Tang Dynasty.
We chatted for a long time as elders, and the grievances of the older generation did not involve the younger ones.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Qinzai returned to Chang'an, Liu Rengui, who was far away in Baekje to suppress the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, followed him.
Wouldn't it be better for you to quietly direct the battle?
After coming into contact with Liu Rengui in Baekje, Li Qinzai probably understood Liu Rengui's character.
Liu Rengui had no other purpose in impeaching him. It was purely for the sake of justice. There is really no sand in people's eyes. As long as it violates laws and disciplines, he will be impeached, no matter who you are.
Li Ji was already prominent at that time. During the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, he only allowed the soldiers to plunder and massacre the city. When he returned to Chang'an, Liu Rengui stayed with him for a whole month, which made Li Ji want to die.
Unexpectedly, many years later, Liu Rengui would join Li Qinzai again, and three generations of the Li family did not let him go.
Li Qinzai didn't care. He talked with Li Zhi after returning to Chang'an. He already knew Li Zhi's bottom line. No matter how he was punished, at least Li Zhi would not kill him.
Fortunately, he had the power to destroy the country. If he had failed in that battle, the head on Li Qinzai's neck would not be very secure.
The imperial memorials in Chang'an were as sparse as rain, but Li Qinzai in Ganjingzhuang remained unmoved.
As long as you don't die, it's not a big deal.
After washing away the smell of gunpowder smoke, the days suddenly calmed down.
Li Qinzai returned to his previous lazy pace of life. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning, and after dinner, he would wander around with nothing to do.
The harvest in the fields in Ganjing Village is a bit uncertain this year. It is already the summer solstice, and many fields in the village have not been sown and are left to become barren, and the wheat sown is growing a little weak.
Li Qinzai was a little worried, and after asking the old farmers in the village, he found out that the situation was indeed uncertain this year.
At the beginning of the next year, veterans were temporarily recruited to join the army. Many young and strong laborers in Zhuangzi rushed to the Baekje battlefield. The war delayed the spring planting, leaving many families with no labor available and no time for spring planting.
Secondly, it has not rained since the beginning of spring this year. There is a severe drought in Guanzhong. The water for irrigating the fields has to be brought in by the farmers. There is a lack of water in the fields, and the crops naturally grow poorly.
Although it is not the autumn harvest season, some people in Zhuangzi have already foreseen this year's harvest, and they all have sad faces.
Li Qinzai immediately wrote a letter to Li Ji of Chang'an, detailing the situation in Zhuangzi this year, and decided to reduce or reduce rents and taxes this year. After informing the villagers of this decision, the farmers in Zhuangzi relaxed a little.
Paying attention to this matter, Li Qinzai asked about the situation in Zhuangzi near Weinan County.
The result was just as he imagined. The harvests of each village this year were not optimistic.
But what is surprising is that whether there is a tacit understanding or not, all landlords in Zhuangzi, big and small, have announced the decision to reduce or reduce rents and taxes this year.
The relationship between the two different classes, landlords and peasants, does not have such sharp conflicts, let alone a life-or-death confrontation.
There was a sworn hatred in the legend, but during the Longshuo period of the Tang Dynasty, their relationship was as harmonious as if they were family members. When encountering difficulties, everyone compromises, takes the initiative to give in, and helps each other get through the difficulties.
Li Qinzai smiled happily.
This is why he likes this era, with its pyrotechnic atmosphere, human touch, and natural kindness everywhere, and neither giving nor receiving kindness is pretentious.
Now, he can understand why so many veterans who have been discharged and returned to their fields will take the initiative to stand up and fight for their country when they hear that they are being called up by the imperial court.
Because this kind of country and land is worth their efforts.
At noon, Li Qinzai sat lazily in the yard after eating and drinking, staring at Qiaoer's squatting steps.
Cui Jie stood behind Li Qinzai. Seeing Qiao'er sweating profusely, she felt heartbroken, but she didn't dare to interfere and stopped talking.
Qiao'er remained in a crouching position, her little mouth shrinking into the shape of a crescent moon.
"Dad, why do you suddenly ask me to do this? I'm too tired." Qiao'er said unhappily.
Li Qinzai said lazily: "Squat down properly and wait for an hour before getting up."
Qiao'er said again: "The sage said, 'If you don't teach, you will punish those who are abused.' Dad must tell Qiao'er what I did wrong, right?"
Li Qinzai let out a sigh and said, "You've actually become more questionable. That's amazing! Who taught you this?"
Qiao'er quickly glanced at Cui Jie and said nothing.
Cui Jie snorted and said, "What did I teach you?"
Li Qinzai stared at Qiao'er helplessly: "No, why don't you ask your aunt?"
Qiao'er said stupidly: "Dad, it's true. My aunt and dad still act stupid and not smart. She will be even stupider in the future..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched Li Qinzai hard and said angrily: "Li Qinzai, what's wrong with my question? I am also taught by the great Confucian scholars of the time, and the articles and scriptures are all serious questions."
Li Qinzai sighed and said, "It's not your fault to ask, it's yours... ugh!"
After a pause, Li Qinzai glared at Qiao'er and said, "Why are you so honest? From now on, my aunt talks bad things to me in secret, and don't do it in front of other people. It's so rude."
Qiao'er still nodded stupidly: "Qiao'er knows, follow dad quietly from now on."
Cui Jie was furious: "Is it polite to whisper bad words quietly?"
Li Qinzai said seriously: "At least on the surface, you will think we are polite..."
"What kind of fallacy is this?" Cui Jie was furious.
Li Qinzai said coldly: "Well, before you met me, or even after you met me, how many times did you secretly call me a bastard, a playboy, and a spendthrift?"
Cui Jie paused, blinked rapidly, and turned around to avoid Li Qinzai's eyes.
Li Qinzai was shocked: "Have you really scolded me?"
Cui Jie blurted out: "I didn't, don't be ridiculous."
Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Just scold me. You see, as long as you don't scold me in person, I still think you are gentle, demure, well-educated, and a polite and well-educated good woman. As for scolding me behind my back, I If you don’t hear it, just pretend it doesn’t exist.”
"You should have this kind of attitude as a person. No matter if you are confused or if you are a gentleman, you don't have to be serious about things behind your back, otherwise you will live a unhappy life. Speaking bad words behind your back is already considered to be cultivated and polite."
If Cui Jie realized something, she subconsciously said: "It seems... makes sense."
Li Qinzai said happily: "You understand."
The corner of Wan's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
She was deceived so easily. His original evaluation of her was obviously very pertinent and indeed silly.
Li Qinzai looked at Qiao'er again and said, "Since you have learned that 'if you don't teach, you will punish those who are tortured', I can't let you say this in vain."
"Why do you have to squat on horseback? First of all, yesterday you made your own firecrackers, lit them and threw them out to blow up others. Although the bombs were bad people, your behavior was very dangerous. Yesterday you and I were so happy to see each other again after a long separation. I'm sorry to punish you. Make up for it today.”
"Secondly, you are six years old this year. It's time to build a good foundation for your health. Billions of dollars are not as good as a healthy and strong body. From today on, you have to squat on horseback every day, rain or shine. I will find a master for you. Teach you some self-defense techniques."
"Whether your future life will be mediocre and poor, or whether you will be prominent or prosperous, you must have the ability to escape with your life."
