Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 Du Fu's Fate

As for Zhaojiayao, Zhao Meng, Zhao Ye and his son also had a hard time making a decision, and Yang Guozhong also put a lot of pressure on them.

Zhaojiayao and Li Fei were the earliest, surpassing Zhangjiayao. It is the largest kiln in the Tang Dynasty today. From the previous annual profit of more than [-] yuan to the current profit of nearly one million yuan, the benefits are extremely huge , it is impossible for Yang Guozhong not to be jealous.It's fine if Li Fei is still in Chang'an City. Before Li Fei is brought down, he is jealous and can't do anything. After returning from the Anton Protectorate's Mansion, of course, he planned to take the Zhaojiayao into his pocket after Li Fei left.

"If it weren't for the Duke of the county, the Zhao family would have been forced to death by the Zhou family. The Zhao family kiln is said to be the Zhao family kiln, but [-]% of the shares belong to the master of the county. The Zhao family kiln can be said to be the master's big kiln. , my father and son of the Zhao family are not ungrateful people, the Zhao family will still be willing to follow the Duke of the county in the future, but—”

Mr. Zhao Meng was a little embarrassed when he said this, and he paused for a while before continuing: "It is only after a hundred years of continuous improvement that the Zhao family's big kiln has the current scale. I'm old and old, and I don't have a few years to live. I just hope that the rest of my life will be spent in the ancestral kiln. My son Zhao Ye and some members of the Zhao family can follow the Duke of the county. Wherever the Duke of the county is, the Zhao family kiln will be Where."

Mr. Zhao Meng was very sincere and wanted to divide the Zhao family kiln into two, and one part followed him to guard the ancestral kiln.Some followed Li Fei under the leadership of Zhao Ye.

The Zhao family can do this, Li Fei has nothing to say. The old man is nearly 60 years old. It is not surprising that he guards the ancestral kiln and thinks that the homeland is hard to leave. It is already the biggest thing to let his son and some clansmen follow him. sincerity.

Li Fei nodded.

After thinking about it, Li Fei originally planned to let Zhao Ye take that part of the tribe to Jiangnan to rebuild the kiln.But he immediately considered that since he wanted to develop Anton, he had to have some real estate. Zhao Ye and the Zhao family were all talented in building kilns and firing porcelain. Anyway, it would be difficult for him to go to Jiangnan. It would be better to take Zhao Ye and other Zhao family members to Anton together.

"That's it, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, let Zhao Ye prepare." Li Fei said.

That night, Li Fei came to the door of Du Fu's house and asked Zeng Aniu to knock on the door.

Due to the need to save money, Du Fu lived in a very remote place. It has already entered the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and winter will begin again next month. The nights in late autumn are quite cool, and some beggars are also preparing to spend their time in dark corners This night, looking at their thin and tattered clothes, I don't know how to survive the winter.

"Grandpa, don't die, grandpa—" From a nearby corner, a teenager cried bitterly.

"Go and have a look." Li Fei walked over with Zeng Aniu and other guards.

This is a skinny old man with messy silver hair, and a young man who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old. This young man is also very thin.The old man was obviously dead, and the young man couldn't accept it.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road." The so-called prosperous age should not have such a scene. Unfortunately, the prosperous Tang Dynasty only existed in the Kaiyuan period.

"It's a good sentence. The wine and meat stinks of the Zhumen. The road has frozen bones. I never thought that the Duke of the county can say such a sentence. The Lord of the County is also a person who cares about the country and the people. Du Fu admires it!" Du Fu just opened the door and came out when he heard Li Fei's words. This line of poetry directly resonated with Du Fu's heart.

Isn’t it true that this famous sentence in history was originally written by Du Fu a few years later. At this time, Du Fu lived in Chang’an City for nearly ten years. Here, looking at the darkness of this so-called prosperous age, Du Fu in history is a representative of worrying about the country and the people.

"It's just a sigh, I, Li Fei, don't care about the country and the people."

"Although there is no way to control the tragedy of human relations on the road, let's do our best. Ah Niu, you take two people to help this young man bury him." Li Fei sighed with emotion, and then told Zeng A Niu .

Originally, with Li Fei's worth, he could have donated some money and let the young man handle it by himself.But he thought about the current world, maybe his money would be snatched away by other beggars as soon as he got into the young man's hands, and the young man might even be beaten up.Sending the Buddha to the west would be the last good deed he did before leaving Chang'an City.

Zeng Aniu took the order and took two guards to do it.

Seeing that Li Fei had finished making arrangements, Du Fu asked, "I don't know about the visit, but what can I tell Du Fu?" In fact, Du Fu just asked casually. He didn't think he had anything to help Li Fei. These days, Li Fei took good care of him.

"Is there any order, I will go to the Anton Protectorate to take up a job in the future, and I will not beat around the bush. I want to ask Du Fu if you are willing to go with me. I dare not say how high the grade is, but a Protectorate Zhidu envoy can promise. If Du Fu still intends to return to Chang'an City for development in the future, he is also willing to send a letter of recommendation!" Li Fei said sincerely.

He went to the Anton Governor's Mansion. If he wanted to control Anton and develop Anton, he had to have his own team. Du Fu dare not say how capable he is. At least Du Fu is a pragmatic person. This is what Li Fei likes. .

"Your Excellency, you really want to give Du Fu the official position of the Governor of the Protectorate?" Du Fu seemed a little excited, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

From the sixth year of Kaiyuan to now, he has waited for a full six years, but he still couldn't wait for an official position. Instead, he watched the prosperous Tang Dynasty step by step from the peak of the Kaiyuan period to today's more decadent and darker.

Du Fu has the political ambition to assist the king to change the situation, but he also understands that it is just his wish.Not to mention that he cannot enter the court, even if he is a foreign magistrate, it may not be possible to benefit one party.It's not that Du Fu is incompetent, but that those in power have fallen from top to bottom, and the inaction of those in power, the world has changed, and it has become darker and darker. He can't find his way out, and he is already desperate. He Yue is a leader.

Now, Li Fei came suddenly and directly promised him an official position as the governor of the Governor's Mansion. This is the right-hand man of the governor, with great potential for development, at least much better than a county magistrate. How could Du Fu not be excited.

"Li Fei never speaks nonsense!" Li Fei laughed.

"My lord values ​​it so much, what reason does Du Fu have to refuse, I can only thank you for your cultivation!" Du Fu cupped his hands and bowed to Li Fei.

"Then make preparations, take your wife and children, and follow me to Anton early in the morning." Li Fei knew that this move of his not only gained a good assistant, but also changed Du Fu's future. The miserable fate of exile.

The arrangement was made, everything was ready, Li Fei waited for the time to come, then entered the palace to bid farewell to his godmother, Yang Guifei, and headed to Anton.
