I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 241 Divide the ducklings down?
As the battle turns and the stars move, the night wind blows slowly.

At three o'clock in the middle of Haishi in the midsummer season, the sky was already completely dark, but the west courtyard of Chu Palace was brightly lit.

Near the west wall in the courtyard is the workbench used to paint porcelain, with candles in all four corners.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the small half of the courtyard, as well as the pile of porcelain in front of the table.

It was too hot in the house to stay there, and there was a slight breeze and coolness in the yard.

Because the small bridges and flowing water in the Chu Palace are the living water of China Unicom.It is drawn from the inland river in the city, bringing wisps of coolness.

But the coolness is cool, and there are too many mosquitoes, densely packed like bombers.

He could only pull out the wormwood and dry it, then light it up and use it as a mosquito-repellent incense.

Yan Qingshu was grinding paint while standing on the west side of the desk, and turned his head to look at Guo Yi who was painting from time to time.

He placed more than a dozen porcelain vases on the table, and painted a picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival on them by splicing.

Only one section is drawn on each porcelain vase, and the next section is drawn on the next porcelain vase, and connected in turn.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu picked up the painted porcelain bottle and looked at it curiously. After looking at it for a while, he asked with some doubts: "This seems to be a whole picture scroll?"

"Well, the Qingming Riverside Picture is your hometown in Tokyo! The painting is too long to fit in one bottle, so I have to draw it separately and make a whole set, and sell it as a set."

A picture of going up the river during Qingming Festival?
Home in Tokyo... What a distant vocabulary, the King of Chu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at the bottle, shook his head and smiled wryly: "I grew up in the inner courtyard of the deep palace and rarely went out, but I don't know the city of Tokyo. scene."

The voice was full of pain and sadness.At a young age, he bid farewell to his parents and left his hometown to come to Jiangling City, which is thousands of miles away.

The taste of it, let's talk to that person.

Immediately, I suddenly remembered that the handsome young man in front of me seemed to be in the same situation...

"Oh!" I couldn't help but sighed.

"I don't know what has changed in this Tokyo city?" He missed his mother and concubine very much, but he couldn't say it out.

After all, he is an adult.

Guo Yi suddenly stopped the paintbrush in his hand, turned his head to look at him, and raised a smile on his brows: "Guess who I met today?"

Ok?
His Royal Highness Chu was startled: "Who?"

"Lin Jiamu!"

Lin Jiamu?
The name sounds familiar, I must have heard it somewhere.Well!By the way, Dibao.

"You mean Lin Nan, Lin Jiamu, who took the imperial examination last year?"

"Yeah!" Guo Yi continued to paint, finished the rest of the painting, and responded, "He is Xu Xianggong's student, and the Songlin county magistrate fills in the vacancy. Xu Xianggong asked him to come here, saying that he wanted to exercise hard. Let’s have a taste of the suffering of the people.”

Pinewood County,
It's not far, Jiangling City is only forty or fifty li to the north, and it only takes half a day to ride a slow horse.

"What do you mean, have you seen him today?" King Chu asked, carefully holding up a bottle again, and then looked down.

Living in Tokyo for more than ten years, I still saw his appearance on a bottle...

What an irony!

"Yes! Wei Jinglan set up a banquet to entertain Mr. Pei. And Pei Ruyu dragged me to go with him on the grounds that he didn't know the place well. I couldn't shirk it, so I went together.

But when they arrived, they found out that Lin Jiamu was the one who went to drink flower wine together.He is also Wei Jinglan's old friend in the capital.

Well!Speaking of which, this Wei Jinglan has quite a wide range of friends.In a banquet, two young masters from the Xianggong's family were actually invited!

tsk tsk! "

"Hehe!" Seeing his appearance, the King of Chu couldn't help chuckling: "This Wei family is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The rich family of hundreds of years is deeply intertwined and unfathomable!"

He was also reminding Guo Yi in a disguised form to treat the Wei family with caution.

Guo Yi nodded clearly, he was not stupid, he could understand the meaning behind it as soon as he heard it.

After finishing drawing the bottle in his hand, he gently put it back in its original position, and then reached out to hold up another one. After a little thought, he continued to draw.

Yan Qingshu was very obsessed with watching from the side, his face was full of fans, his paintings were so realistic, anyone who was familiar with Tokyo city could tell it at a glance.

Seeing her expression, the king of Chu couldn't help curling his lips and chuckling. This girl is indeed quite beautiful. Standing with Guo Yi, she looks a bit like a woman.

"You go to the boat to drink flower wine, but it's too early to come back?"

"Tch! What kind of flower wine are you drinking! I haven't even heard the music, and I haven't seen the stripper, so I was dragged by Lin Jiamu to the river to see the scenery.

According to what he said, Xu Xianggong and Mr. Qingzhi are close friends.Before he left, Xu Xianggong told him to visit Mr. Qingzhi after he arrived in Jiangling, first to listen to his teachings, and second to ask for advice.

But Mr. Qingzhi was lucky enough to push him to me directly..."

Guo Yi's tone was full of resentment and a little helplessness.

Your old man and Xu Xianggong are close friends, but not me.If you don't want to take care of it, just meet or not.

Push it to me, what's the matter?

Fortunately, Lin Jiamu looked like a pragmatic person.Of course, you can also watch the aftereffects.

Hearing this, the king of Chu was a little puzzled and said, "I pushed it to you? What does Mr. Qingzhi mean?"

"According to what Lin Jiamu said, he went to Songlin County to take a good look, only to see that it was devastated and the society was in ruins. So, he wanted to change it and make a career. But,"

"But he is a scholar and doesn't know how to do business, so he went to Mr. Qingzhi for advice?" Before he finished speaking, the king of Chu immediately took over.

Everyone is a reader...

Guo Yi turned his head and glanced at him unexpectedly, then smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right! He is a young man in his twenties who is an official for the first time. It is normal for him to be so confused.

After reading books for more than ten years, it is extremely rare to learn not to be ashamed to ask! "

Are you ashamed to ask?
It's true that I don't feel ashamed to ask, but he is a probationer in the imperial examination, and he has a reputation.I also know that the county magistrate of Songlin is an official.

But to ask Guo Yi, a guy who is white and younger than himself, is he not ashamed to ask what?
The King of Chu nodded knowingly: "In that case, Lin Jiamu is worth dating?"

After speaking, he looked at Guo Yi curiously.

"Well! I have already agreed to some conditions for him, including that Songlin County contributes to build the official road, and our Jiangling treasury pays for it. In addition, there are those chickens, ducks and rabbits, which are distributed to Songlin County a thousand per month."

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the King of Chu, and said with great interest: "This reminds me that after the duck eggs hatch, there will be four or five thousand ducklings every month, and we can provide ducks to the people for free." Seedling.

And after the duck grows up, just return a duckling. "

Oh?
The King of Chu couldn't help being taken aback, and thought silently, this seemed like a good idea.

The heated kang hatches duck eggs, which can be carried out in batches.In this way, the ducklings will inevitably pile up into mountains.If you don't want the price to drop, you have to find a way to sell it to other places.

And if it is distributed to the villages below...

A duckling can cost one hundred and ten Wen, but it is not a small expense.If it is distributed free of charge, it will greatly reduce the expenses of the people.

You know, an adult duck costs six or seven hundred Wen!
The income from selling duck eggs is not included.

If a family feeds five or six cats, it will be a considerable income by the end of the year.

This plan is feasible.

Yan Qingshu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected: "But when that time comes, what should we do with so many adult ducks?"
