Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 717
In Ganjingzhuang Pheasant School, Li Qinzai has always been the absolute authority.

His authority, in addition to convincing learning and skill, also has a whip, and a moody temper.

With these three things, those rich and powerful children who were domineering in Chang'an City were subdued. Li Qinzai occasionally reflected on himself, whether he was too strict with these little bastards.

Until the last parents' meeting, when all the dignitaries kept praising the little bastards for becoming more and more sensible, Li Qinzai immediately became confident.

Educating disciples is of course the principle plus the stick, isn't it?Offer them up as ancestors?
Li Sujie and others stood in front of Li Qinzai, not daring to show their air.

The gentleman made it very clear just now, if he is in a bad mood today, no one should mess with him, even the toughest Qibizhen is as honest as a quail at the moment.

Li Qinzai's mood was written all over his face, and his expression was gloomy at the moment, like a creditor blocking the door.

"You guys disappointed me with the results of the last exam..." Li Qinzai said slowly.

Li Sujie's eyelids twitched, he knew that the husband was seriously looking for faults, and if he was negligent, he would be whipped.

"Sir, you have already punished the student in the last big exam..." Li Sujie said cautiously.

Li Qinzai was taken aback for a moment, then said again: "You classmates..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Sujie hurriedly said: "Students love each other deeply, brother and brother respect each other, love each other, share the same robes with your son... It's been a long time since we had quarreled and fought."

Speaking of which, Li Sujie turned her head and glanced behind her. The little bastards had a strong desire to survive. Without saying a word, one of them hugged a Guozijian student. Everyone hugged warmly and affectionately, and they used body language to truly show the friendship between classmates.

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and said without giving up: "The daily meal..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Sujie hurriedly said again: "Disciples are well aware that farming is hard and difficult for farmers, and they don't dare to waste any daily meals. All meals are clean."

Li Qinzai scratched his head, feeling a little annoyed. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly kicked Li Sujie's ass.

Li Sujie covered his buttocks and said in astonishment: "Sir, why did the disciple get beaten?"

Li Qinzai said angrily, "Tell me, why did you go in with your left foot just now?"

Li Sujie sighed in grief and indignation. After Li Qinzai kicked this kick, his gloomy mood eased inexplicably. Alas, it turns out that violence makes people happy.

"Pack up your bags, I will take you out of Zhuangzi tomorrow." Li Qinzai ordered.

The little bastards looked puzzled, and Li Qinzai said again: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. These days, I will take you to have an extracurricular teaching. You should read and listen carefully."

Everyone still didn't understand what it meant, but they still practiced etiquette honestly.

Back in the other courtyard, Li Qinzai was just about to raise his leg to step into the door, but when he lowered his head, he found that he was raising his left leg, so he immediately took it back and raised his right leg to step into the threshold instead.

Song Guanshi came up to greet him, and told Li Qinzai respectfully that the Ma County Magistrate of Weinan came again yesterday, urging Li Qinzai to enlist the young and strong men of Ganjingzhuang to go to Puzhou.

Li Qinzai then sent someone to inform Ma County Magistrate that the young and strong men would be sent out tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Cui Jie lay beside Li Qinzai, lazily leaning on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat quietly.

"Husband is very busy these days, what are you busy with?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "If I say that I am concerned about the country and the people, it would be too great to force myself to look like a person. But after thinking about it carefully, what I have done in the past few days seems to be really concerned about the country. Min, it’s a real hammer, and I can’t explain it.”

Cui Jie smiled: "Isn't my husband always doing things that worry about the country and the people? From the god-armed bow to the three-eyed blunderbuss, from the destruction of the Japanese kingdom to the collection of Tuyuhun, my husband is an upright man. He is born to worry about the country and the people." My hero, why dare not admit it?"

Li Qinzai rubbed his face, with a tired expression on his face: "I don't want to stand at such a high position, because the higher I stand, my life will be completely kidnapped by these things. After all, I am actually a selfish person, just thinking about it." Take care of my own life, and the misery of others, I may only show kindness once in a while..."

"But this time, no matter what, I can't just sit back and watch. It determines the fate of too many people. A man has to do something. I can only choose to intervene."

In the dark night, the moonlight is reflected in Cui Jie's eyes, like a morning star before dawn.

"Husband, are you talking about the emperor conferring on Zen?"

"Yes."

Cui Jie's eyes showed worry: "Will your husband be in danger?"

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is no danger right now, Madam, don't worry."

The moonlight reflected on the bed through the window lattice, Li Qinzai could vaguely see that Cui Jie was still worried, so he hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "For my husband, I have experienced thousands of troops in Tuyuhun, and I have survived. This scene is really not enough to watch, madam, don't worry, I will be fine."

"Tomorrow I will take my disciples out for a few days, and I will entrust my wife to take care of the family affairs. Qiao'er is still young, let him stay in the village, and my wife will supervise his studies more."

Cui Jie hummed, and was about to say something, but saw that Li Qinzai was already drowsy, turned over and fell asleep.

Under the moonlight, Cui Jie sighed, then put her hands on her belly, smiled sweetly, hugged Li Qinzai's waist, and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Early the next morning, the students gathered at the entrance of the village.

According to Li Qinzai's instructions, each student was wearing an ordinary linen blouse with a random cloth belt tied around his waist, and no valuable ornaments were allowed on his body.

In addition to dozens of students, there were nearly a hundred farmers. They consciously lined up behind the students, and everyone quietly looked at Li Qinzai in front of the crowd.

Li Qinzai looked around, nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and gave the order to go.

The peasants were all rough people with no delicate temperament, but Li Qinzai couldn't bear the hardship, so he had ordered more than a dozen ox carts and horse-drawn carts to be prepared in advance, and more than a hundred people got into the carts and wandered all the way to Puzhou.

Two days later, everyone finally came to a construction site twenty miles outside Puzhou City.

Everyone got out of the car and looked at the lively scene on the construction site with novelty.

The construction site covers an area of ​​about [-] mu. Countless young and strong people are carrying stones, ramming the ground and laying foundations. Officials in official uniforms are holding blueprints and discussing something with craftsmen. Smoke from cooking is billowing in the distance, and dust is flying nearby.

Li Qinzai was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw the appearance of ancient engineering. In this era of relying entirely on manpower, thousands of people gathered in one place to do the same thing. The scene was very shocking.

An official stepped forward, took a look at Li Qinzai, and said, "You are..."

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "We are young and strong from Ganjing Village in Weinan County. We were recruited by the magistrate of Weinan County. There are a total of 120 people in Zhuangzi. We are here to listen to the orders of the officials."

The official took out a list, searched carefully, and found the number of people in Ganjingzhuang, Weinan County. After checking, he drew a line on the list with a pen, and then pointed to a hill in the distance, and asked Li Qinzai to organize youth Zhuang went to carry rocks.

The officials left after making arrangements, and Li Sujie and other disciples behind him looked at Li Qinzai in astonishment.

"Sir, are we here to work as coolies?" Li Sujie murmured.

Li Qinzai smiled: "Could it be that you are invited to have a picnic and camp?"

Li Sujie looked at the sweating laborers, her face was a little pale: "But...why do you ask the disciples to do coolies?"

Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are born rich and powerful, it is not a bad thing to experience the sufferings of the world once in a while, boy, go to work, don't force me to slap you."
