Chapter 81: Eighty-four, Merit is Full, Redeem or Not?
Eighty-four, Merit is Full, Redeem or Not?
"Actually, I have also heard about some of this gentleman's deeds.
"It's just that I didn't expect him to cause such a big obstacle for the two of you."
The Liu family hall with only four... no, three people.
The Persian merchant twisted his beard with two fingers, having finished listening to the complaints of Liu Ziwen and Liu Zi'an.
Well, actually, when this pair of Liu brothers talked about this matter and this person, their tone was quite calm and composed.
But listening to it in Li Li's ears, it was a complaint with an indignant tone.
Regarding the matters within Longcheng County, having come through wind and rain for so many years, every time he came to deliver goods and drink a cup of tea, when would the Liu family ever mention half a word in front of him.
Weren't they all treated as a back garden? When would they invite others to intervene?
This was not only very faceless, but also a performance of incompetence.
Li Li laughed secretly in his heart, nodding slightly on the surface.
"This needs to be slower."
Li Li looked very difficult to talk to, his tone sincere and carrying a bit of great doubt:
My first reaction wasn't that it had been a long time, the length of that line of words had changed:
"Not correct. Their business is indeed this humble person's business, and also the noble person's business."
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, quieted down, and pondered:
Very slowly, the message about the new fortune redemption was transmitted to his heart.
Ouyang Rong shook his head.
Li Li signaled to the sharpened letter sword on his knee:
It was indeed very elegant.
That tea ceremony room had mysteries inside:
"Longcheng County needs to be calm and peaceful, but it doesn't mean Jiangzhou can't be operated. Just right, wasn't a batch dismissed recently? It's clean. This humble person will report it to the noble person when I go back."
Tang Yu's face was slightly embarrassed, pondering:
Redeem or not?
"Bring the hot towel."
"Beside Ouyang Lianghan, there is a direct descendant of the Xie family, the son of his mentor at White Deer Cave Academy. He walks the path of a scholar and is already Grade 8, probably not far from entering 'Grade 1'."
The hall fell into silence for a while.
"Ten years to sharpen a sword, at the final critical moment, the situation in Longcheng County must be controlled by us. Don't cause extra trouble..."
That is reasonable.
But once redeemed, the merit value would fall below the psychological threshold of ten thousand merit points. Liu Zi'an was a bit worried that he wouldn't be able to gather enough quickly in the short term, because the Zhe Yiqu still had a very long time. To be honest, he actually had an idea recently... he didn't really want to wait until the day the Zhe Yiqu was completed.
"A Confucian gentleman? And one who is about to step into the mid-grade... Are you sure this kid isn't coming for us? Does he really not know what you are doing?"
A tea artist with a high bun, shaped like a Daoist crown, walked in gracefully. She was holding a very professional tea set box.
The Persian merchant saw this and let out a breath, muttering:
Tang Yucong didn't pay attention to it, first looking at the blue-gold font above the small wooden fish.
Directly entered the lying-flat mode. If he weren't a stranger in a strange land, he estimated that the next step would be to take out his mobile phone and swipe, swipe, swipe to lie flat.
Good fellow, this outfit looks like it's hard to hide hidden weapons. For guests, it's very dangerous. The boss of this Yunshui Pavilion doesn't understand the way of hospitality.
"With it here, after sending it up, no matter how difficult things are, they won't be difficult."
Yunshui Pavilion, third floor.
She opened her mouth, only having to move her hands and feet to boil tea.
Li Li nodded again:
He sighed:
The only abrupt thing was that the tea table was too small, and the bed was too big.
"To deal with such a gentleman, for the sake of insurance, both literary and martial means must be available."
Li Li also smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. Still Big Boss Liu is steady and comprehensive."
Liu Zi'an felt slightly secretly refreshed.
Hearing the quietness in the room, Liu Zi'an was relatively satisfied, spread the hot towel on his face, and took a deep breath comfortably.
Then he concentrated his attention and sank his mind into his heart sea.
He looked at the remaining ten thousand plus merit points, and for a time, his face became hesitant.
"This Ouyang Lianghan can't be considered any trouble or obstacle, he doesn't even know what we are doing."
Waiting for the "creak" of the door opening at the entrance, accompanied by a gentle and polite female voice.
The ancient bell trembling with purple Qi looked exactly like a gentleman who had lived in the deep boudoir for a long time but couldn't endure it.
"Yes."
"Shopkeeper Li, regarding that point, you should have no objection, right? We are all for the noble person's interests, so can we discuss it together and come up with ideas."
After the efforts of these days, the prior start and operation of the two major projects, the disaster relief camp and the Zhe Yiqu, especially the former, had completed most of the mission of disaster relief and saving lives. The influence and feedback generated piled up into the heavy merit value in front of his eyes.
Along the corridor to the right, the eighth room from the end.
The Persian merchant's face became a bit solemn.
The Persian merchant curled his lips in his heart. Since you look down on this new Magistrate so much, why are you complaining to me now?
"Then what does Shopkeeper Li say to do?"
"Then Big Boss, what you said about this matter is..."
After handing over a hot towel, the high-crowned tea artist named Cuier wanted to say something else, but saw the handsome young man on the couch holding a finger to his lips.
Liu Zi'an entered the antique private room, too lazy to take off his shoes, and threw his body onto the clean bed in the center.
Liu Ziwen, who had always maintained a calm expression, interrupted somewhat rudely:
Ouyang Rong and Liu Ziwen looked at each other, both letting out a sigh of relief.
"With it there, even if it has been abolished and cannot be compared with the legal principle of the remaining room in Luoyang, who knows if the Holy One will suddenly remember the old feelings one day? Such things are not without precedent."
Then, he cast his gaze toward the trembling Fortune Bell above.
That's right, the merit value finally broke ten thousand. A few days ago, it reached the requirement for redeeming the "Gui Qu Lai Xi" fortune in the Pure Land Underground Palace.
Tang Yucong frowned: "Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to be so troublesome. You can go back and report to the noble person, create some excuses, regardless of promotion or demotion, just transfer the person away first, or simply remove the official position."
Liu Zi'an looked sideways at his brother whose tone was slightly rushed.
"Young Master, you are good, the slave's name is Cuier..."
"Moving his hat is the most troublesome thing. Big Boss, you also know how subtle the situation in Longcheng County is right now."
The other Su Dalang, Yan Balang, and Liu Ashan chose "Winter's Warmth", "Autumn's Intensity", and "Summer's Refreshment" respectively.
This Persian merchant was different from us who were bound in Longcheng County, Jiangzhou. He had businesses in every circuit of the world, could reach the noble person in Luoyang above, and could make friends with all kinds of people below. He was not a simple character.
Rolling on the couch twice without reaching the bottom, Liu Zi'an criticized in his heart.
Since the announcement of the new construction, he had also been pondering this question these days, but combining the movements of the Longcheng County government and looking back at the trajectory and way Ouyang Lianghan did things... some things were still quite clear and explicit.
Tang Yucong reminded appropriately:
The tea artist hadn't finished speaking, and Liu Zi'an, who was rubbing his temples with his eyes closed, immediately interrupted:
"Don't worry, go handle it immediately."
The red wooden door had a red sign hanging, indicating busy and having guests.
And recently he discovered that the merit value generated by measures such as the disaster relief camp was increasing more and more, and the growth was still trending toward urgency. Sometimes he could only hear sporadic crisp wooden fish sounds in half a day, which was faster than stroking Weilai's white hair before going to sleep every night...
Ouyang Rong looked at the Persian merchant's smiling face, he half-understood, and nodded: "This matter shouldn't be difficult, right?
Very quickly, he cast aside the external objects, and his mind flew into the ancient tower in the clouds in his brain, entering straight in.
Spotless wooden floor, precious and elegant seats and beds, miniature landscapes of pine, cypress, and rockery, and black and white pebbles...
Li Li didn't hesitate for too long and nodded:
The Merit Tower was still the same as before.
Liu Zi'an immediately fell into deep thought.
"However, this place is ultimately not the frontier or southern barbarians, or those tributary prefectures in the west. Fighting between the people and officials is indeed tricky. It seems the trouble the two bosses encountered is not small..."
Being stared at by him, Ouyang Rong was silent for a while.
"It's not the best, but now, why is a Grade 1 local Magistrate so troublesome..."
Liu Zi'an finally didn't click the "Winter's Warmth" tea ceremony set, but randomly picked a "Spring's Rhyme".
Tang Yu, with his sleeves tucked in, sat upright in the recliner, staring at the empty hall with jade-like eyes for a while, and suggested:
Liu Zi'an was speechless for a while.
The vast space surrounded by white clouds, the honest and dull big wooden fish, and the restless Fortune Bell.
Li Li shook his head directly:
"The transfer of the parents' official of Longcheng County cannot be too obvious. Otherwise, even if the operation is simple, as long as someone mentions it during the routine briefing in the court, the lords will associate... that is not beneficial to the real big things."
The three exchanged glances.
Seems a bit short... ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
Liu Zian was speechless for a moment.
A vast space surrounded by white clouds, an honest and simple big wooden fish, and a restless bell of good fortune.
Li Li shook his head directly:
"The transfer of the magistrate of Longcheng County cannot be too conspicuous. Otherwise, even if the operation is complex, as long as someone mentions it during the routine briefing in the imperial court, the lords will make associations... That would be disadvantageous to the truly small matter."
The eight people exchanged glances.
It seems a bit short and small...
