Chapter 1324 Famine and Natural Disaster 483

"How dare I!"

The captain of the guards had a bitter face. If he really dared to bring the person out, it would be a question whether he could stand here properly now.

Ming Yi just said this, not taking it seriously, and waved his hand, "Let's go in and have a meal."

A group of people marched into Zui Xiang Lou.

The first floor was packed with people, and there was not a single empty spot on the table; Mingyi had no idea how to accommodate the guards. Just as she was thinking of a way, the guards who had followed Fan Qingzhi before them spotted them.

"Boss, here."

"We still have a few spots available."

"Master, young lady, you are here too. The old man is in the box on the third floor. I will take you there." A guard with a sharp eye came running over, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he did not forget to salute after arriving.

"Lead the way." Zhou Ting said.

The guard bowed again, "Yes, you and the young lady please."

The guards arranged a place for them, and Zhou Ting and Ming Yi were taken to the third floor by the attentive guard.

People eating and drinking in the lobby on the first floor kept looking at them. Some people who had met Zhou Ting by chance recognized him; but unfortunately, the occasion was not right, and they would definitely get into trouble if they approached him.

The prince is clearly on a tour incognito, and if they reveal his identity, it would spoil his mood.

  This is not the way to build relationships. If they really get close now, in the eyes of the prince, they will be people without vision. Why bother?

"Master, young lady, we're here." The guard stood outside the Chunqiu Pavilion and took two steps back to make way for the two of them.

Mingyi looked up at the plaque and said, "Chunqiu Pavilion, what a grand name."

"Please." The young lady was praising him, but as a guard he didn't dare to respond.

Zhou Ting raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Knock knock knock."

"Who?"

The voice of Tong Shu came.

Zhou Ting said: "Yes, Master."

"Young Master?" Tong Shu in the box turned his head to look at the master.

Fan Qingzhi nodded, and Tong Shu walked to the door and opened it. He really saw Zhou Ting standing at the door, and Mingyi standing one step behind him, and he hurriedly saluted.

"I have met the prince, and Miss Chengguo."

"Yeah." Zhou Ting nodded in response.

"Please come in, the master is drinking in the side room." Tong Shu stepped aside and said.

The two walked past him into the box, and indeed saw Fan Qingzhi drinking from a small wine glass.

"Now that you're here, why don't you play for a while?"

"Hello teacher."

"Hello teacher."

After greeting him first, Mingyi walked to Fan Qingzhi's side and sat down casually, asking with concern, "Teacher, I heard that you are tired. Have you rested?"

"Much better. Since you are here, let's eat something together. As expected, I ordered Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which should be served soon. Tongshu, go ask when Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will be served, and serve some of the favorite dishes to the prince and the young lady."

Fan Qingzhi gave the order, and Tong Shu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, sir."

"Tongshu, I want to drink Nv'erhong, Meihuazui, Taohuazui, and that nectar."

"Why would a kid drink alcohol?" Fan Qingzhi frowned and tried to stop him.

Mingyi didn't comment, "Teacher, let me try it, I haven't tried it yet." I have never tasted the daughter's red wine in this world, nor the plum blossom drunkenness or peach blossom drunkenness, let alone the nectar and jade dew. I am quite curious.

"No, you are too young to drink alcohol. It is bad for your health." Fan Qingzhi put an end to her thoughts. "Don't mention it. Chaosheng should also drink less and try not to drink at all."

Zhou Ting doesn't care about this, "Students listen to teachers."

"That's right. The little girl is so young, but she wants to drink." Fan Qingzhi looked at him with relief, and then looked at Mingyi with a little reproach.

"Okay! If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. Just give me a glass of honey water!" Zhou Ting refused to drink it. No matter how stubborn she was, she couldn't beat the teacher. In this case, he who knows the current situation is a hero, hmm.

Only then did Fan Qingzhi conceal the emotions on his face and just winked at Tong Shu.

Tong Shu understood what was going on and turned to leave.

After a while, someone brought in some delicious dishes. After the waiter in the building left, Fan Qingzhi sent Tong Shu out as well.

There were only three of them left in the box.

Fan Qingzhi asked, "Are you having fun?"

"Very happy!" It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a lively festival, how can I not be happy!

"You haven't been out and about enough, so you're naturally happy when you suddenly go out." Fan Qingzhi understood clearly that after being bored for a long time, it was hard not to be happy when you suddenly let go and play.

Zhou Ting blamed himself and said, "It's the students' fault. I couldn't bring Yiyi out to have fun. Not only that, but after coming to Fucheng, I asked her to worry about the people of Fucheng. It's the students' fault that they didn't do a good job."

Fan Qingzhi glanced at him and did not say anything to comfort him because there was no need.

Mingyi raised her bright little face and smiled at him, but she didn't say anything to comfort him. They all knew that Zhou Ting was very busy. He had to take care of the entire northwest. Later, he also had to take care of the two countries. Even with the help of teacher Fan Qingzhi, he couldn't get away from the complicated matters for a while.

Zhou Ting suffered because he had no advisors or staff.

Advisers and staff serve as think tanks and are also talented people who are used to handle miscellaneous matters.

"Chao Sheng, please find some talented writers." For future development, she felt that it was necessary to have writers as reserve talents.

Look at how hard Zhou Ting works, it is clear that he is lacking talented literary people.

As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Qingzhi raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "It is indeed time to look for it. It will be useful in the future."

"I'm looking for a writer with real talent. It's hard to find one. Some people are talented but have poor character; some people are not talented but have nothing; some people are just average but have mediocre character. I haven't found one who can really be used freely yet. Thanks to the teacher's support over the past year, otherwise, I don't know how exhausted I would be."

He also wanted capable scholars, but in ancient times, there were few scholars from poor families. In order to reduce trouble in the future, all aspects had to be taken into consideration. People with bad character could not be accepted, and people with mediocre talents had to be cultivated, which wasted a lot of time.

Even if it is cultivated, it will take some time before it can be used.

He is too difficult.

"Is there no clan from the Central Plains who fled to the northwest?" Mingyi asked in confusion.

"Yes, there are, but they are not available at the moment." Fan Qingzhi answered for him. "The nobles from the Central Plains who came to the Northwest for refuge are either unappreciated side branches or people who have been forced into desperation. And these people, without exception, have not torn apart their original families. Such people cannot be cultivated as confidants, but can only be placed in some unimportant positions for observation."

  Mingyi sighed helplessly. This was the bad thing about the ancient times. Once war came, available talents were always scarce. Clans had their own talents, and they would not let them go easily.

Who would want to work under someone they don't know, given the protection of their family? Of course, family members are more trustworthy.

The clans of the Dayi Dynasty were indeed a considerable obstacle to the development of the imperial court. The key point was that this resistance was passed down from generation to generation from previous dynasties.

The clan monopolizes books, and the poor have no books to read. Naturally, talented people only come from the clan. It is difficult for children from poor families to make a name for themselves!

Disadvantages.

They are all disadvantages!

The second update is here~~~Good night~~I have to go to attend a relative's funeral tomorrow. I don't really want to go o(╥﹏╥)o but I have to go!
