"Stand up straight and let me take a good look at you." Zhao Weixian exudes the pride of a superior and honored person in his bones. The declining royal family is still a royal family, and the flat-headed Baijiu must always look up.
Liang Chuan straightened up and put on a standard flattering smile on his face. This was his instinctive reaction to protect himself.
"With the grace of the Holy One, I have been appointed as the magistrate of Quanzhou and the city captain. I set off after the Shangyuan Festival and traveled day and night for several months to get here. I don't want a person like you to be hidden in Xiaoxinghua."
Zhao Weixian is the elder brother of the Holy Emperor, and his status is respected. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Taizu's lineage will not end well. Anyone who is alive will be released as an official. If he is lucky enough to stay in Tokyo, he will be distributed to Yanghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang later. These are all Quanzhou is a place of wealth and prosperity because of its open port. It is a place that is superior to others. Being able to be assigned here shows that the emperor is rich and tired. Those with bad luck will be sent to Yunnan and Guizhou, where the mountains and rivers are poor, the people are not enlightened, and the people are fierce and violent. They will rebel at every turn, making judgments from superior to inferior. They were assigned to Quanzhou, which required money and power. They stayed there for three to five years. After earning enough capital, they made some arrangements with the important ministers in the court. In the name of being weak and sick or observing filial piety for the Taizu, they requested to return. Beijing, enjoy your old age peacefully, who wouldn’t be worried about such a bad old prince?
"My lord, I love you." Zhao Weixian said something that sounded like he was praising Liang Chuan, but Liang Chuan's words were sarcastic, and he felt restless in his back.
"Promote agriculture, create water conservancy, open schools, promote handicrafts, provide for the elderly and educate the young, be able to impress the capital with a single word of literary ability, and surrender to tigers with a single martial ability, you are a Liangchuan man!" Zhao Weixian kept saying it! Commenting on Liang Chuan, Liang Chuan thought to himself, what the hell does this guy want to do?
Zhao Weixian was sitting at Liang Chuan's home. He wanted to ask Liang Chuan about the whereabouts of the magical bird eggs, but suddenly he saw several village girls outside the hall carrying a whole basket of green-skinned divine bird eggs, shaking past his eyes. It turned out that the eggs of sacred birds that I thought were some rare treasures turned out to be as common as chicken and duck eggs here.
Things are rare and valuable. What kind of precious objects could be carried out in these baskets? He also gave up the idea of asking again!
"I have countless fierce generals and staff around me. Cao Qiansong can defeat thousands of troops. Zuo Qiuhong is a fierce general. There are also these three. The great name Ying Tianding is the best. But compared with you today, it is like selling Seoul. This time I go south. , I have been waiting and watching all the way, hoping to find good talents along the way, and follow me to offer my suggestions, but I have found nothing in the past three months. I finally met you today, and I intend to accept you as my staff, what do you think?"
Zhao Weixian finally revealed his intention, which was to accept him as his younger brother. In any period, hugging a big tree to enjoy the shade is an eternal truth. Just like a fierce man like Liu Huangshu, he also hugged one thigh at a time, hugging others first, and when his own thighs became thicker, he would It was only when people around him hugged his lap that he finally achieved something successful.
If in the past, a big leader at the provincial or ministerial level said to him, "Come on, I'm interested in you, come and work for me," Liang Chuan would have been eager to cut chicken blood and burn yellow paper to show his loyalty, and then follow him tremblingly. Provide leadership to leaders. But that was my last life. I was so tired in my last life. I worked hard for a car and a house for most of my life. I had no choice but to do this. In this life, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I have a wife and I just have to give birth to a child. Why do you still want to follow this big boss and get involved in the political whirlpool within the system when you are holding your wife on the hot bed? Aren't you sick?
Liang Chuan really wanted to realize his ambition and see this beautiful and unknown world. There were too many things people couldn't help but do in the world. He refused the job of being a county magistrate because he didn't want to be restrained. It is true that he would follow this prince. The emperor's eldest brother will be indispensable for future glory, wealth, status and reputation, but will he be happy? Liang Chuan thought about it with his buttocks, and basically said goodbye to the word happiness. Do you still have the strength? If you get involved in political struggles, you will only become a victim in the end.
At this time, you can only tell the truth. If you can't help it, that's another matter. To be ambiguous and swaying towards a person of this status is tantamount to slapping the other person in the face and asking for death.
Liang Chuan put away the flattery on his face, and said with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, to be honest, being able to ride a horse for you is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes. Smoke is rising from my ancestors' graves. I can't even think about it." It's a good thing. Originally, I should have told my wife to pack up her belongings and follow her around, but I can't do that now."
Liang Chuan's words made everyone stunned. If you don't have a good future, what's the point of living in this mountain? This is because the prince of the current dynasty condescended to come to the house to invite him in person. When word spread, it was a very good talk. The good name of the virtuous king will surely be further enhanced. Why did he refuse so lightly?
What does he think he is? Does he still want to fight for a better future? By refuting Prince Zhao's face, he is tantamount to offending half of the high-ranking officials in the court. He will have a hard time in this way in the future. He thought he could still get away with it based on his own ability. Better? Everyone present felt incredible.
He Baozheng was in a complicated mood at the moment. He was very happy to see Liang Chuan have a good future. However, as Baozheng on this side, he couldn't bear to watch the people in the village slowly live a good life. If Liang Chuan left, they would Can this day still exist?
Zhao Weixian was in a very calm mood, as if he had encountered this result from the beginning. Is this a layman? Obviously not. A layman would not hide so deeply. With his ability, just that poem and a few pairs, he was always a guest in every high-ranking official's house. Either he has no intention, or his intention is too deep. If he calls out today, he will follow him, but he will look down upon him. When Liu Bei invited Wolong, he still had to visit the thatched cottage three times. He easily surrendered to this man. Was he cheap or was he cheap?
"Can you tell me the reason?" Zhao Weixian asked curiously.
"Liang Chuan dares to ask the prince to move alone so that the common people can explain to the prince." Liang Chuan boldly expressed his thoughts.
Zhao Weixian stood up and gestured to the left and right, obviously agreeing to Liang Chuan's bold request. Cao Qiansong could not rest assured, but Zhao Weixian glared back with a cold look. The people in the palace were not as good as a villager. Is he still afraid that Liang Chuan would make trouble?
Liang Chuan led Zhao Weicheng to the tea garden on his mountain. A group of people from the palace followed behind, keeping a certain distance, neither too close nor too far, leaving room for the prince and Liang Chuan to be alone. .
The two people stood on the mountainside. Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu had been here before. Standing on the mountainside, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Nanxi River Valley, with a panoramic view of various scenery on both sides. The mountain wind was a bit strong today, making my robes rustle violently. The wind was mixed with a hint of heat and the slight fragrance of green tea, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Zhao Weixian didn't understand what Liangchuan meant, but it was rare to appreciate such beautiful scenery. Standing with his back facing the world, he had an innate look of a king.
Liang Chuan followed behind and said softly: "What do you think of the scenery in this world, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Weixian knew that he was not inviting him to see the scenery, but he still wanted to go around in circles: "There is no need to beat around the bush, but it doesn't matter. I will only listen to the truth today."
Liang Chuan said: "The scenery here is very charming. I must have seen it along the way. The people here are so poor that they have nothing to offer except the beautiful scenery here. I have witnessed their poverty, I also witnessed that they began to yearn for the days of food and clothing. They are kind and hardworking, but kindness and hard work cannot change the current situation of poverty. I can lead them to change the current situation. Of course, I can leave and follow the prince to enjoy Ronghua. As soon as I leave, they will be beaten back to their original form. I really don’t want to see this. To be honest, Qingyuan is full of gold, there is a lot to do, and everyone aspires to it. But the people here saved my life, and my life is If you can repay them for what they have given, it will give them a way to survive.”
Zhao Weixian didn't know the cause and effect, but being able to let Liang Chuan say these words showed that he had a deep love for this land. "You want the people here to live a good life. I appreciate this idea, but have you ever thought about how many people in the world are not as good as your fellow villagers in Helu. Those who truly care about the world do not care about trivial matters. You must do great things and take the common people of the world as your own responsibility. This is the great road. Do you agree with what I say?"
Liang Chuan vaguely heard something strange in Zhao Weixian's words. You are a prince. It's not appropriate to talk about the common people in the world. However, it is a blessing for the court that those in power can have such thoughts. How many people in their positions only care about enjoyment, and the world is roaring, so what does it have to do with it?
Liang Chuan said: "Your Majesty taught me that the abilities of ordinary people are limited. Someone once told me, don't try to change the world. You will find that your power is very small. Not only can you not change the world, but you will also be affected by it." Change. What you can do is to change yourself first, change your own behavior and habits, and then change the people around you, and take the people around you to change the environment, and finally change the world."
This is generally the difference between the thinking of the superiors and the inferiors, and no one can convince anyone. Zhao Weixian has the capital to change the world. When Liang Chuan was at his poorest, he only had a thatched hut owned by Li Chuyi. How could he change the world? What is engraved in his creed is to start from scratch, step by step, rather than reach the sky in one step.
The two of them stood facing the wind, one behind the other, in silence for a long time.
"When I change this place, I will naturally ask for help from the prince. Then I hope that the common people will be able to gain the attention of the prince." Liang Chuan did not deliberately compliment, but said calmly.
"I also want to see how you change the surroundings step by step. We will wait and see. If you come to Qingyuan for just one day, I will be waiting for you!" If he really has the ability, not just poetry and romance, he can change this side. If you are poor and embarrassed, you will receive the account one day and you will be able to do great things.
