This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 128 Volume [-] Changming Xuan

The next day, Lintan.

As the Taozhou government, Cui Mingyuan's official office is also here.

In the mansion, Cui Mingyuan looked at a table of official documents and sighed.

From his heart, he was unwilling to leave Jingyang.

If he wanted to be promoted, he would have been promoted a long time ago. It's not that the officials hadn't planned on it before, but he rejected them all.

Regardless of his background, Cui Mingyuan is undoubtedly a qualified official from the perspective of an official.

This time, the reason why he was willing to leave Jingyang was firstly because the situation in Jingyang was indeed much better than in previous years, and secondly, Li Chengqian's words echoed in his ears from time to time. He also wanted to know after reading the sage books all his life. Some questions have no answers!
The third is the complete disappointment with the gentry.

At the beginning, when Cui Hao and the others had the upper hand, they all wanted to celebrate with each other, but when they finally faced Li Chengqian's counterattack, how did they react?
To be honest, during that time, he really saw through the faces of these people.

In the end, when the imperial court transferred him to serve as Taozhou Biejia, he did not decline again.

Of course, this is also because the place of transfer is Taozhou. If it is Chang'an, he may still decline.

Others have become officials for thousands of miles only for money, but he is not. He really wants to do something and show what he has learned.

Although Taozhou is not comparable to those places in Jingyang, for him, there is more room for him to display his ambitions.

But just when he was about to let go of his hands and feet and do a big fight, the people from the gentry came again.

In the final analysis, he is still in the gentry circle, and he will never be able to take off this label in his life.

Originally, he was prepared to deal with it casually, but after learning from Jingyang's past, he did not intend to cooperate with these guys again.But these people brought him a shocking news!

Li Chengqian is also in Taozhou!
This news surprised him, no wonder, no wonder Niu Jinda was transferred to the commanding army of Taozhou.

It stands to reason that in view of Niu Jinda's status, it is not appropriate to be transferred to the Taozhou command army, which is considered a demotion.

After a long time, it turned out to be the reason.

"Go and find out if someone from Chang'an has come to Taozhou recently." Sighing, Cui Mingyuan ordered.

He didn't want to inquire about Li Chengqian's whereabouts, but since he appeared on his land, he wanted to find out.

Moreover, people from the gentry also came. Although I don't know what their thoughts are this time, I am also worried that they will have another conflict.

He really doesn't like these shitty things, he just wants to do something for the common people, even if it can make the people under rule have an extra sip of hot porridge in winter, it's more energetic than being involved in these things.

On the other side, Taoyuan.

As soon as Li Chengqian had finished breakfast with Changle, Liu San came and said that Chen Ding'an was outside Zhuangzi.

Li Chengqian knew what purpose Chen Ding'an had here, and immediately went outside Zhuangzi.

Of course, he didn't come out to meet Chen Ding'an, Chen Ding'an didn't have such a big face to let him greet him in person, the main reason was that there were Pluboqi and the others in the village, and he didn't want to expose too much in front of these people.

Seeing Li Chengqian came out, Chen Ding'an was also very shocked. Of course he knew that he would have no face to let Li Chengqian greet him personally. It's not bad under the management of adults."

"My lord is laughing at you." A man like Chen Ding'an didn't know what this meant, so he immediately followed behind Li Chengqian, and he didn't complain about it.

Even if this is just an ordinary Zhuangzi, the prince of the current dynasty lives in it, and it is not that simple to step into this door.

"Is everything that I explained yesterday done?" Li Chengqian walked in front and asked.

Nodding his head, Chen Ding'an said: "It's all been dealt with properly." After speaking, he took out a contract from his sleeve and said, "Just sign it, sir."

After taking over the contract and taking a look, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction. He was not surprised that Chen Ding'an had settled the matter so quickly. As the local parent officer in Taoyuan, this little matter was nothing to him. difficulty.

After handing the contract to Liu San beside him, Li Chengqian said, "This is a good job."

He's talking about price.

Chen Ding'an is indeed a smart person, knowing that this is what Li Chengqian wants, and he has carefully considered the price.

For a person who usually only flatters, he would definitely lower the price as low as possible, but Chen Ding'an didn't, and strictly followed the market price.

Of course, he is not afraid of power and wants to protect the interests of the businessmen under his rule. To put it bluntly, he is flattering.

It's just that the means are more clever than others.

As far as Li Chengqian's status is concerned, if he really wants to take down the restaurant at a price lower than the market price, he won't save a lot of money. If someone finds out afterwards, although it doesn't affect his status, there will be some gossip after all.

This is not necessary.

To Li Chengqian, there is no difference between a thousand guan and a hundred guan.

"My lord, you're being polite, but it's just a matter of raising your hands." Chen Anding knew that he had guessed right when he heard Li Chengqian's words, and smiled immediately.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Liu San, is the money ready for Li Dalang? You can arrange two people to send it to Mr. Chen later."

He was going to chat with Li Dalang and the others yesterday, but he delayed the matter when he met Chen Ding'an.

After all, it was easier for Chen Ding'an to do this than for Li Dalang and the others.

"Ready." Liu San said, "I'll arrange it when I get back."

"There's no rush for the money." Chen Ding'an smiled, "It won't be too late to send the money after the son's restaurant opens."

He really wasn't in a hurry for this money. If Li Chengqian really didn't give it, even if he sold his family property, he wouldn't come to Li Chengqian to ask a question.

"You are not in a hurry, others are in a hurry." Li Chengqian said, "I have to thank Mr. Chen for this matter. After the restaurant opens, I will ask them to reserve a private room for Mr. Chen."

"Then I would like to thank you, young master." Chen Ding'an, a person who knows how to do things, immediately bowed and said.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Master Chen, you are being polite. I have one more thing to trouble Mr. Chen. I wonder if it is convenient for Mr. Chen?"

"Sir, please tell me." Chen Ding'an was overjoyed, this was definitely a good thing for him.

Li Chengqian said: "It's not a troublesome thing, it's just that I need a few teachers here, and I don't need any great Confucians. I just need to teach some simple literacy and hyphenation."

Wang Xuance was going to help him as a lobbyist, so he had to find someone to take over the teaching job.

Whether it is the children in Zhuangzi or those in Riyue Mountain, they are all in urgent need of teachers.

He wants to train his own team, and these people are his best choices.

Moreover, for Chishuiyuan, the best means of intrusion must be culture.

So, Mr. Teacher, he needs it very much.

"If you don't have high requirements for talent and learning, this is not difficult." Chen Ding'an said, "After all, Taoyuan is a small place after all, and it is really difficult for me to find some talented people."

"It's enough to teach people to read and write." Li Chengqian really has no requirements for this.

Teach them the Four Books and Five Classics?
Hehe, Li Chengqian has no such plan, don't teach nerds one by one, it would be unbeautiful instead.

As long as you can read and write, the rest of the truth can always be understood slowly in life.

Besides, at this stage, where would he find such great Confucianism for them to teach them?
Even if there is, who is willing to go to Chishuiyuan with him to suffer that hardship.

"That's fine." Chen Ding'an said with a smile, "My family happens to have a few underachievers. It's not easy to expect them to pass the imperial examinations, but if it's just to teach someone who can read and write, then it's not a big problem."

How could Chen Dingan give such an opportunity to others.

If it wasn't for his status, he would be willing to be a teacher.

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian smiled, this was exactly what he wanted.

For Chen Ding'an, he had actually thought about it, but now that he is an official of the imperial court, it is not easy for him to do anything directly.

The reason why he made such a request was to see Chen Ding'an's reaction. Unexpectedly, this guy is also a master who climbs along.

"Master Chen still has to think about it again." Li Chengqian said, "To be honest, these teachers did not stay in Zhuangzi. I really have to decide, but I will take them away."

Chen Ding'an was overjoyed when he heard the words, is he going to take him to Chang'an?That was a good thing, so he smiled immediately: "There is nothing to consider, the young master just takes it away."

He was so happy right now that he forgot, if Li Chengqian really wanted to go back to Chang'an, would he need to find a teacher in Taoyuan?

what?
Are the scholars in Chang'an absolutely dead?
"I still have to think about it. The teachers I want this time are not teaching us Han people. Moreover, this trip may not be without danger." Li Chengqian laughed.

After he finished speaking, Chen Ding'an's expression suddenly changed.

He got it.

Where is Taoyuan?

Li Chengqian has talked about this point, how can he not understand?
However, he didn't feel too much regret and annoyance, but was thinking, is this court really going to do something to Tuyuhun?
If so, it's time to go.

Although this trip is dangerous, the rewards are absolutely astonishing.

Not to mention whether he can make a small contribution in this battle of destroying the country, just relying on the big tree of Li Chengqian is worth fighting for!

He has been trapped in Taoyuan for so many years, and he has suffered enough from being weak.

Being an official is about ability, but even more about relationships. If he has some connections in the court, now, at worst, he should be at the level of a state governor. How could he still be a county magistrate in a lower county?

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Ding'an immediately said: "My lord, you can rest assured. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we have received the emperor's grace throughout the world, and it is our duty to be loyal to the country."

"That's fine, make preparations in the next two days, and then let them come." Li Chengqian smiled, it's good.

Chen Ding'an said: "No, I'll get them ready tonight, and let them come over tomorrow."

After the two chatted for a few more words, Li Chengqian asked Liu San to arrange for someone to send Chen Ding'an back to Taoyuan, along with the money from the restaurant.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Li Chengqian asked people to call Li Dalang and others.

After Li Qinjian and the others made their decision, they all sent some of their younger generations, including their own sons and nephews. Before, they just helped Li Qinjian with some chores.

When going to Chishuiyuan, Li Qinjian was more or less worried about their safety, so he didn't take them there.

Of course, I was also afraid that they would become a burden. After all, Chishuiyuan was Tuyuhun's territory. If something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome to take care of them.

Therefore, they were left in Zhuangzi at that time.

Among them, Li Dalang is the leader.

It's not because Li Qinjian is partial, there is no way, Li Dalang is Li Qinjian's eldest son.

In this era of orderly seniority, the status of the eldest son is higher than that of others.

You are like Yang Lin and Wang Dequan, although they sent their own sons, they are not the eldest sons.

In this way, the big guys are naturally headed by Li Dalang.

"Young master." Li Dalang and his party hurriedly saluted as soon as they entered the study.

Both Li Qinjian and Yang Lin have told them to be more polite to Li Chengqian.

In addition, they also experienced the turmoil in Jingyang back then, so they actually admired Li Chengqian very much.

"Have you been overwhelmed in Zhuangzi recently?" Li Chengqian put down the book in his hand and asked casually.

Li Dalang smiled and said, "Fortunately, I just have nothing to do all day, I don't know what to do."

Let them go to school with Changle and the others, they themselves feel ashamed.

Let's learn from Yao Da and practice martial arts with Wang Jin, they won't be able to endure that hardship, besides, the youngest people are fifteen or sixteen years old, and in Wang Jin's words, they are also past the age of martial arts.

Of course, their own reluctance is also the main reason.

"Afterwards, you will know what to do. I plan to open a restaurant in Taoyuan, and Li Dalang will be in charge." After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Li Dalang and said, "You can choose a few of them to help you , but I want to take Yang Erlang and Wang Erlang away, and shopkeeper Li said that I will personally train you two."

As soon as Li Dalang heard it, he knew what his father's plan was, and immediately selected three from the rest, all of them were nephews of the three families, one in each family.

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian smiled, this guy is really smart.

"Okay, now that Li Dalang has selected someone, the rest will go to prepare and go with us in a few days." After the rest of the people left, Li Chengqian said, "Making money is not the most important thing in the restaurant, and, Doing business here in Taoyuan is actually not very profitable."

Li Dalang and the others actually understood this point.

How old is Taoyuan?
There are only a few thousand people in the entire county, and for those who are newcomers, it's not bad if they don't lose money.

"However, there is a reason for keeping you here." Li Chengqian said, "Taoyuan is indeed not a big place, but because of its special geographical location, it is doomed to have some unique conditions.

What you have to do is to collect all the information you can, whether it is from Tuyuhun or Datang, you must pay attention.

Of course, don't be too deliberate, just pay attention to the few words left by the guests in some restaurants.

Can you do it well? "

Li Chengqian didn't know if it was reliable to ask them to do this, but it was done anyway.

As a later generation, he is too aware of the importance of information.

Li Dalang nodded and said, "Yes."

It's not a difficult task, and they didn't ask them to spy on any information, they just collected some information about the merchants, which is not difficult.

"Don't worry, the business of our restaurant is naturally fine. If we're done, I'll prepare some things for you to ensure that the restaurant will definitely attract customers like a cloud." Li Chengqian said, "Of course, if you encounter someone deliberately making trouble, you can go directly to him. Chen Ding'an, magistrate of Taoyuan County, if he can't solve it, he can go to Taozhou Commander Niu Jinda, and they can still solve small things for you."

Li Dalang and the others were taken aback for a moment, this opened up the official relationship?

Moreover, both the military and the government have opened up?

What kind of ability does this have?
"Understood." While shocked, Li Dalang said hastily, "Is there anything else you want to explain, my lord?"

He felt that he needed to go out to digest it, but just as he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and he hesitated at the moment.

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian said: "If you want to say something, just say it, don't be so rigid."

"That's right." Li Dalang asked, "Can our restaurant sell the wine we brewed before?"

"Why not?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "You can sell it if you want, that wine may not have a market in Chang'an, but here, it is indeed a sharp weapon, used properly, it can achieve miraculous results.

Of course, you are a businessman and you know better than me how to do it. "

"Don't dare." Li Dalang said, "When it comes to doing business, my father said that in the whole world, it is really rare to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the young master."

Of course he knew that his father's compliment meant more than it actually meant, but why not say the compliment twice more?

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, and said: "Okay, there is no need to say compliments, your father and the others are the real businessmen, if there is no problem, you should go and prepare first, and it is right to prepare for the opening as soon as possible.

By the way, after the restaurant opened, three private rooms were reserved, one for Niu Jinda, the commander of Taozhou, one for Chen Ding'an, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, and one for Cui Mingyuan, the Taozhou Biejia. "

"Master Cui also came to Taozhou?" Li Dalang was taken aback immediately.

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "Yes, after Chang Mingxuan opens, it is estimated that your Master Cui will also come uninvited. I may not be here by then, so you can greet yourself."

Li Chengqian didn't expect Cui Mingyuan to come to Taozhou, but Li Chengqian still had a good impression of Cui Mingyuan.

In any case, this is indeed an official who is dedicated to the people.

In this officialdom where everyone is dedicated to climbing the ranks, such officials are really rare.

As for Cui Mingyuan coming uninvited, this is also his guess.

Even those guys from the gentry are here, it is impossible for Cui Mingyuan not to know that he is also in Taozhou.

Now that we are in their territory, we will have to deal with them in the future, so it is not bad to form a good relationship in advance.

And Chang Ming Xuan was naturally the name Li Chengqian chose for the restaurant.

However, this is destined to be a name that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history, even if it is in the thick historical documents, it will leave a strong mark!
