Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 32 Parting and Letters

Li Hongqing asked many questions, all about how to use the money obtained to relieve the people in a reasonable and effective manner.

Chen Qingsi should not be too familiar with this aspect. He has been in politics for many years and has never seen any black, gray or white methods?
Even in the complex systems of later generations, Chen Qingsi has a way to find some loopholes. Faced with the immature judicial system of this era, he wants to make money, and there are ten thousand ways to make it difficult for people to find faults.

Li Hongqing looked at Chen Qingsi, who taught him how to launder black money, and felt like putting a sword on the other person's neck, forcing him to tell everything about his previous experiences.

Are these incredible methods really not experience?

"Why don't you just follow me and act chivalrously, take care of the accounts for me, be free and happy. It's better than being a coward. Magistrate Dai of Yixing County is much worse than you. With your plan like this, In the end, you let him give the credit to others, don't you feel aggrieved?"

Li Hongqing couldn't help but invite him to join the team.

Chen Qingsi laughed dumbly, but said seriously: "Of course I feel wronged."

Li Hongqing was startled at first. He didn't expect that under the calm expression of holding the pearl of wisdom everywhere, he would feel aggrieved. Then he said softly: "Then... why do you still want to aggrieve yourself?"

"Not qualified!"

"what?"

Chen Qingsi smiled and said nothing. The only way to avoid wronging himself was to let everyone in the world adapt to him.

Otherwise, how could a person live smoothly in this world without being wronged?
Early the next morning, Chen Qingsi and Peng Qi were having breakfast together, and Li Hongqing came to say goodbye, carrying his luggage.

"After thinking about it for a night, I found that many of my previous actions were done casually, which made me happy, but I never worried about the harm it would bring to others. Now that I know it, it is really difficult to remain indifferent. I can only try my best to make amends. I say goodbye. There will be opportunities in the future. Passing by Yixing, come and visit Grandpa Peng."

Then he bowed generously and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice. I'll see you in the world someday!"

Li Hongqing came suddenly and left neatly.

The neatness made Mr. Peng Qi and even Chen Qingsi a little uncomfortable.

Chen Qingsi had been thinking about what the little girl wanted for her all day long. How could she feel at ease following her around? Now that she was gone, she felt inexplicably empty.

Chen Qingsi and Peng Qilao also returned to Tongguan Village.

Originally, Chen Qingsi had already received the position of assistant historian and was supposed to serve in the county. However, Dai Hongling obviously lacked courage and was unwilling to reuse him. Chen Qingsi herself was not optimistic about his future and had no intention of bowing her head. She simply asked for leave to return to the village on the grounds of getting married. .

Chen Qingsi lived in seclusion in the village. Apart from daily exercise, she held books and discussed with Elder Peng the preliminary governance of Yixing County and even Jiangnan.

Chen Qingsi no longer kept secrets, and discussed her views with Mr. Peng Qi in detail.

Peng Qilao's ideological governance method is based on agriculture, while Chen Qingsi's philosophy is more commercial and uses commerce to drive prosperity.

Elder Peng's plan is somewhat outdated. If Jiangnan continues to develop agriculture, it will only become poorer.But Chen Qingsi’s ideas were a bit advanced and had quick results, but they were not in line with this era.

Mr. Peng Qi looked at the strategy written by Chen Qingsi with some admiration. He read it over and over again and even raised his voice unconsciously when he thought about its origins: "Connect the waterways of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Changzhou to achieve an internal circulation of people's livelihood and self-sufficiency. Using Jiangyin as a transit point and connecting with Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, we will transport tea, inkstones, and Suzhou embroidery to open up trade routes... Okay, okay!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping away tears and sighed: "Although this method is good, I don't know when it will be implemented? I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see it in this life..."

Chen Qingsi understood what Mr. Peng Qi meant, and even saw more clearly because of his open eyes.The core of the development of the Tang Dynasty lies in the Central Plains of the Two Capitals, and the development trend is westward, focusing on the Western Silk Road. Therefore, in addition to Chang'an and Luoyang, the place with the fastest development momentum in the world is the Lianglong area.

There are hundreds of thousands of households in Liangzhou, and the barbarians are half-playing the pipa. This kind of scene will happen soon.

Other directions are inferior...

However, Hebei has been a densely populated place since ancient times, Shanxi is located in the Tang Dynasty and is the cultural center of Shandong, so it has its own development advantages.

The biggest advantage of Jiangnan is that it is vast and sparsely populated, with large grain producers...

It is impossible for the imperial court to give up the granary of Jiangnan. Because of Chen Shuozhen's uprising, the imperial court will adapt to the circumstances and relax some of the rules to give Jiangnan a chance to breathe. But if it really wants to blindly develop the economy and improve people's livelihood, the imperial court cannot sit idly by and do nothing.

After all, the Western Region is unstable, Tubo has begun to rise, the Turks are also restless, and Goguryeo's troubles are not over, all of which require food.

Other places sent troops, money, and corvee services. Jiangnan, far in the southeast corner, naturally provided grain.

There's nothing fair or unfair, it's just what the court needs.

Therefore, what Chen Qingsi seemed to be most in line with the development of Jiangnan would not be accepted by the court, just like Peng Qi's original "Six Strategies for Governing Suzhou".

Chen Qingsi also knew this, and he did not expect to change the status quo. From a long-term perspective, the court's decision was not wrong. Jiangnan currently lacks development prospects...

"So the student wants to reconcile with the teacher's method and find a compromise method. It will not only be acceptable to the court, but also make the people of Jiangnan live a better life."

Old Peng Qi became interested and said: "This is feasible, my master and disciple can study it carefully."

The two also held detailed discussions in this direction.

The days also passed day by day in the discussion between the two.

Early that morning, Chen Qingsi was surprised to receive a letter from Li Hongqing, which actually included a true secret book that he had dreamed of.He hid the secret book in his chest like a treasure, read it and read it.

Li Hongqing's writing style is the same as her personality, clean and neat, greeting without politeness, and telling the story directly: "After the separation, I went back and forth to investigate, and I found something similar to what you pointed out, but a similar phenomenon happened. I only regret that I didn't realize it at the time."

……

"I am so angry that I go south. There are mountain gods, water gods, earth gods, and many gods in one county. I am not afraid of fighting. Most of the people who offer incense are poor people. Why do I still worship the gods when it is obvious that I can't make a living?"

When Chen Qingsi saw this, she could imagine that the girl wrote it with gritted teeth.

"I can't bear it anymore. It doesn't matter what kind of god he is. He's been kicked. The government doesn't care about me. If he wants to be punished, I will be the one to take it."

Seeing this, Chen Qingsi couldn't help but smile knowingly, and could feel the heroine's ease when writing.

Finally, there is a simple and insignificant sentence: "I have gained a lot from the guidance. Seeing that you are practicing martial arts every day, I specially asked my grandfather's former subordinates to learn the sword skills in the army. I also entrusted my grandfather's old friend to forge a good sword for you to defend yourself."

Chen Qingsi carefully took out the secret book from his arms and looked through it carefully. At first, he was worried that he did not have enough basic skills to understand it, but then he found that every move in the military swordsmanship was concise and to the point, without any bells and whistles. It just taught people how to use it the fastest. The method to kill the enemy is very simple if you want to get started.
