Dayan Fifty Dao

Chapter 52 is too much
When he returned to the palace, he saw that the entire palace was crowded with people, so Li Ling had no choice but to enter through the ear door, and sent Li Mao to the room. Only after he came out did he realize that some common people and some gentry had come.

As far as he could remember, their palace was just a quiet courtyard, and the neighbors from all over the country walked around it. At first Li Ling thought it was because they were the palace, so the common people were afraid, so they didn't bother to provoke them.

It wasn't until after traveling that he gradually understood that it wasn't that he was afraid, but that they looked down on them at all, because the palace was a city that collected food, but the taxes of the common people had never been reduced, so in the eyes of the common people, the palace was a moth , even vampires.

What's more, Li Mao spent the whole day cultivating immortality and asking, and he really didn't do anything to the people, so it would be even more hated. In addition, they have no power and power, and they don't even have soldiers in the government, which makes people even more angry Look down upon.

On the surface, everyone called Li Mao a prince and Li Ling a son, and they were afraid that their backs would be pierced, let alone take the initiative to make friends with each other.So this is why they care so much about even a small county magistrate.

But this time they cooperated with the county government to repair the Huai River embankment, which benefited the people. Seeing the completion of the embankment, the common people and squires were waiting at the door with vegetables and eggs.

Sure enough, if you want to be respected by others, you must first benefit them. It's not that the world is cold, the human heart is like this. This also made Li Ling feel that what is power is what you earn.

But Li Mao was drunk, and he had to deal with everything. Thinking that those people outside must have been waiting for a long time, Li Ling gave the order to open the middle gate. It is not open for festivals and celebrations.

But Li Ling still asked people to open it, and welcomed all those who came to congratulate and give gifts, and let them enter through the middle gate, which really flattered the people who came.And then he did one more thing that Li Mao wanted to do but failed.

That is to hold a banquet in the palace. This banquet can be said to be protracted, and now it finally landed. In the backyard of the palace, on the huge open space, hundreds of tables were set up, and thousands of people were seated. Even the old wine in the surrounding taverns was emptied. up.

For the first time, Li Ling stood on the temporary high platform, holding a wine glass, representing the palace, and said to the common people: "Folks, our embankment has been repaired, and we have a good harvest this year.

On both banks of the Huai River, thousands of hectares of fertile land turn into a country every rainy season. We Huainan people, if we can keep two harvests every year, how good would that be?We have our taxes and our rations.

But natural disasters, natural disasters every year make us unable to eat, pay money, and even many folks have to go to other places to beg for food. Speaking of this, I feel ashamed. For so many years, our palace has not given money to the folks. what do we do.

It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s that we really can’t do it, we are ashamed, we are also worried, we see a lot of farmlands being left unused, we feel heartbroken, now it’s better, we have repaired the levee, and we can farm with peace of mind.

Folks, this is the first cup, and I am here to accompany you on behalf of the palace. Although we are relatives of the emperor, we are not strong enough to keep you waiting for too long. "After speaking, he raised his glass high.

The others stood up one after another and faced Li Ling together. Li Ling suddenly became the center of attention and became the center of attention. At this moment, he was excited, moved, and even moved. As the eldest son, he still enjoys the admiration of others.

After a cup of wine, he said again: "This cup, I thank the emperor for his kindness. If Master Xi hadn't come to supervise the work in person, we wouldn't have been able to complete the project so quickly, and Master Liu hadn't fully supported us, and we wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly." There is indeed little flattery.

Those people toasted at the same time, facing the capital, Li Ling raised his cup again and said: "Finally, I would like to thank one person. This person is my benefactor and also the benefactor of our palace. We mobilized our people, and it was she who made up our minds for us.

Talking and laughing, such a huge project can be done. This is a man of God who has never been seen before, and who will never come again. Without her, we would not have such a strong embankment. Without her, we would not have a thousand hectares of fertile land. .

Although she didn't come, everyone, we respect her together. She is my benefactor, your benefactor, and Huainan's benefactor, and I want to tell everyone that the Cao Gang will come to build the wharf in a while.This wharf needs a lot of river workers. After the slack season, everyone has another means of earning a living. I ask everyone, do you want to join me in paying respect to this benefactor? "

After he finished speaking, those people whispered, not knowing who the benefactor Li Ling was talking about. At this time, a person in the crowd whispered: "I know, it should be the little princess of the palace. I have heard of her. She is amazing. Don't you think so?" This dilapidated palace can come up with so much money at once, is it all because of her?"

At this time, someone said: "Didn't the squire raise donations?"

The man said again: "That's not enough. You didn't see that so many boats and so many river workers were mobilized at once. The money raised for this donation has long been spent. Let me tell you, the little princess is the God of Wealth, and he can turn money into money." Woolen cloth."

Now those people seem to understand, but they are sure of one thing, a God of Wealth has come to the palace, and it is a little girl.Everyone quickly toasted, and some even shouted directly: "Respect the God of Wealth."

In fact, Li Ling is really too strong to drink. After two rounds, he was drunk. If Li Huai hadn't been watching, he wouldn't know what nonsense he would say.Naturally, the banquet held by the palace does not end in one session, it is a flowing banquet.

Since they wanted to invite them, they naturally couldn't favor one over another. The running water banquet had been held for three days, and Li Ling and the others really came here in a daze.

At this time, little Ling'er looked at Ji Liubao who had been standing at the door and said, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Ji Liubao shook his head: "They didn't invite me."

Little Ling'er smiled: "They invited all the people in the city, why didn't they invite you? This is a running water mat, as long as you go, can't you find a seat?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Liubao shook his head fiercely: "I won't go."

Little Ling'er was surprised: "Why are you doing this?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Liubao was angry, seeing Xiao Linger's repeated questions, he said displeasedly: "Princess, I'm really not worth it for you."

Little Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where did you start talking about?"

Ji Liubao snorted softly: "Princess, I'm from the rivers and lakes, and I know you're not some kind of princess. They spent your money on repairing river embankments and running water seats, but they didn't even invite you. I think they are too generous." Too much."
