After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 600 The Boy Who Chased the Light

A new rain in early summer.

A hot cup of new tea.

Li Chen'an and Zhongli Ruoshui were sitting in the tea garden by the river, drinking and listening quietly.

Regarding the current situation, Li Chen'an has heard a lot during this journey.

The merchants temporarily lost confidence because of his suspended animation.

This is short lived.

He believed that as long as Xiao Wu returned to the capital and became the emperor, as long as Xiao Wu issued an imperial decree to inform the world that Ningguo's major policies would remain unchanged, then these merchants would become active again.

Zhongli Ruoshui was worried about this. Although she knew Xiao Wu very well, it was inevitable that people would change under different circumstances.

But Li Chenan wasn't worried.

He left Xiao Wu a letter.

Also because Xiao Wu and him are basically the same way——

They are all people who don't want to be emperors!
They are all people who like to relax!

Xiao Wu's research on herbal medicine is far better than practicing martial arts, so it is even better than being the emperor.

It's just that he has no choice but to become that emperor now.

Ningguo cannot live without an emperor.

When he went to guard the country of Ningguo, he guarded those painstaking efforts of Li Chen'an.

Although he didn't want to, but for the sake of his friends, or for the people of Ningguo to live like what Li Chenan said, he would definitely become emperor.

It's not that he wants to make some achievements, but that he can ensure that the policies formulated by Li Chen'an can be carried out as usual when he becomes the emperor.

Li Chenan took advantage of Xiao Wu's kindness.

He felt a little uneasy.

But he believed that after two years, Xiao Wu knew that he was trying to save Zhongli Ruoshui, so Xiao Wu must be able to understand.

When the time comes, return to the capital and assist him in making Ningguo a better place.

While Li Chenan was thinking about this, a group of young students walked into the tea garden.

They sat under a shed closer to Li Chenan.

"Xiao Er, six bowls of snow buds, and two plates of candied melon seeds!"

Li Chenan looked up, and saw a young man in a well-dressed suit sitting directly opposite him.

"Come, come, it's time to get on the boat after drinking some tea. Now that we're going to Kyoto, it won't be easy to drink the good tea from our hometown."

The other five boys sat down, and one boy looked at the boy in the fancy dress and asked:
"Brother Xiang, you said that we traveled thousands of miles to the capital to take the exam... This autumn is an Enke held when the Regent was alive. Now that the Regent is gone, will this Enke be cancelled?"

The boy surnamed Xiang waved his hand: "Brother, I wish you 1 hearts!"

"Why is Brother Xiang so sure?"

"A few days ago, my distant cousins, Miss Ruoyu, didn't they come to Yuzhou?"

"After the news about Xishan, they hurried back and asked Cousin Ruoyu about it."

The other five teenagers all looked at him, but Li Chenan turned to look at Zhongli Ruoshui.

Zhongli Ruoshui nodded with a slight smile, and said in a low voice: "There are quite a lot of relatives in Zhongli's mansion."

Li Chenan understood, after all, it was a well-known big family in Ningguo, after all, Zhongli Mansion had been operating in Shuzhou for nearly 20 years.

He looked at the young man surnamed Xiang again, and heard the young man say again:

"The regent and the eldest son of the emperor are like brothers. The eldest son of the emperor has a very close relationship with Zhongli Mansion... The eldest son of the emperor even lived in Yunji Bieye in Kyoto for several years, just to treat cousin Ruoshui's illness."

"Think about it, how can he change the national policies established by the regent when he becomes emperor?"

"Now our Ning country is employing people. I heard that the officialdom of Ning country has been rectified by the regent's officials, and many positions have been vacated!"

"Enke this time was originally an act of the regent to select talents for Ningguo... Without the recommendation, all the students of Ningguo will take the exam based on their ability!"

"Even if Xiang's family is related to Zhongli's mansion like me, I still have to take the road of scientific research."

"Don't worry about anything, Qiu Wei will definitely be held as scheduled. I hope that there will be more people in Shuzhou this time. If it can overwhelm Jiangnan Road, that will be the best!"

After the young man finished speaking, the other five students seemed to be relieved, but his words caught the attention of the businessmen at the neighboring table.

An old man came over with a cup of tea.

"The young master is a descendant of the Xiang clan in Yuzhou?"

The young man smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Exactly! Wansheng Xiang Qingyun!"

"Oh... old man Bajun Yao Mengtang."

When the boy heard this, he stood up suddenly, and bowed his hands together: "So it's Old Master Yao, please sit down!"

Old Master Yao waved his hand, "I just want to ask, just now hearing what you said, does it mean that the measures being implemented in our Shuzhou will not change?"

"Old Yao, are you... in business?"

"Isn't this old? I stopped teaching three years ago and started a small business."

"Oh, Mr. Yao, don't worry, there won't be any change in the policy!"

Xiang Qingyun's tone was very certain, and he said: "My father went to Jiangnan a few days ago, my second uncle also went to Mobei, and my third uncle will also go to the capital in a few days."

"Ningguo has been harmed by Ji Tai for 20 years, and now is the time when everything needs to be rebuilt."

"The measures taken by the Regent to boost industry and commerce during his lifetime are really a great recipe!"

"As long as our Ning country's business is prosperous, and the merchants earn money and have more courage, they will definitely raise craftsmen to improve equipment and further increase efficiency!"

"Students think that businessmen are lowly, but they don't know what value the value created by businessmen has for the prosperity of a country!"

The boy waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, anyway, this is the most friendly and beneficial time for businessmen in thousands of years."

"As for who can seize the opportunity... it depends on who is more courageous and who has a more unique vision."

The old man surnamed Yao nodded his head slightly, "Young Master's words are reasonable, but I was timid, but...Your Master has this insight, why don't you go into business and take the scientific examination instead?"

Xiang Qingyun chuckled: "My old man disagrees, and besides... I also want to understand."

"My Xiang family is originally a merchant family. I may know more about the troubles of merchants than many students."

"If I can be named on the gold list and go to any county magistrate, I may be able to create a better and more convenient environment for the businessmen under my rule."

"In this way, I can do more things for more businessmen, and create greater value than me doing business myself."

When the old man surnamed Yao heard this, he was immediately in awe.

"The son's words made the old man suddenly understand!"

"The old man also went to Jiangnan for a walk... Maybe after he comes back, he can teach the whip and educate the students with the thoughts of the young master!"

Xiang Qingyun's delicate face suddenly turned red, "Mr. Yao is over the top. These few are also students from Yuzhou. Let's go to Kyoto together. I heard that many students from Wenweng Academy left last month... This autumn Wei, there are many talents, but it is not easy to get a good ranking!"

The old man surnamed Yao stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Do your best, and you will live up to this great age!"

"Um……"

Xiang Qingyun sighed again, "It's really regrettable that the regent passed away."

"After seeing his poems and essays, Wansheng yearned for him, and looked forward to seeing him in the capital... Hey, heaven is jealous of talents!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

"There are no poets in the world anymore!"

"Ningguo has a future because of him."

"Although he left, he left a ray of hope for Ningguo."

"Wait, when you follow the light, you may be able to see the clouds and the sunrise, and see a different kind of splendor and prosperity!"
