Chapter 1000 Etiquette is light and affection is heavy
"Queen Mother, Changle" Li Chengqian saw the two closest relatives, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile, compared to the early death of the eldest grandson queen in the previous life, Li Chengqian became perverse Compared with Li Chengqian at this moment, he is more mature and stable.
However, when he saw Merton, he turned a blind eye, as if he had not seen Merton at all.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Princess Changle privately pulled Merton's hem a few times, and Merton greeted reluctantly.
"It turned out to be Mohou!" Li Chengqian glanced at Morton and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Brother Prince!"
Princess Changle saw that the two of them were about to get up again, and hurriedly said: "The prince's brother didn't come just now, and the queen mother just allowed Kyoto Express to send packages to the imperial city, and the harem concubines are quite happy." ”
"The Queen Mother is merciful!" Li Chengqian complimented, the outside world is already at risk in delivering goods to the harem, but the eldest grandson still agrees, and although this policy is set up for the harem concubines, the East Palace also benefits a lot, and the situation of the princes and concubines is almost the same as that of the harem concubines.
"Merton did a good job this time! I heard that the people of the world praised Kyoto Express! Empress Eldest Sun looked at Merton and said kindly.
There are both praise and disapproval for Kyoto Express, and the court thinks that the goods purchased in ink magazines are of poor quality and fakes are rampant, but among ordinary people, ink magazine shopping is applauded, after all, the goods in ink magazines are what they urgently need, and they can afford it.
"The queen mother has won the award, and it is what the Mo family should do to benefit the people of the world, in fact, Kyoto Express, like the ink magazine, is also divided into civilian and commercial versions!" Merton said modestly.
"Oh! And so much? Empress Eldest Sun said curiously.
Merton explained: "The commercial version is what we call ink shopping, and the Kyoto Express can deliver goods for people and merchants, while the civilian version can send goods for ordinary people. ”
Empress Eldest Sun was surprised and said, "Ordinary people can also send parcels!" ”
Merton nodded and said: "However, if a mother's family is in Chengdu, and her son is studying in Chang'an, every autumn, when the court gives clothes on leave, the student returns to his hometown all the way and gets the winter clothes to return to Chang'an to study, and the journey alone will take more than half a month, and now with Kyoto Express, the mother only needs to make winter clothes, write the address of her son's school, and spend ten cents to safely deliver the winter clothes to the students." ”
"This is indeed a good move for the people!" Empress Changsun nodded, in this way, it saves the time and travel expenses back and forth, which not only saves money but also allows students to free up more time to study.
"If there are relatives and friends in the field, you can use Kyoto Express to send gifts during the New Year's holidays, now that the New Year is approaching, Kyoto Express has opened the Luoyang line, over time, Kyoto Express throughout the entire Datang, even if it is thousands of miles away, Kyoto Express is also a mission to achieve." Merton said loudly.
"Kyoto Express travels thousands of miles to give a little gift to others, which is too laborious!" Li Chengqian shook his head and said disappreciatively.
"The so-called thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate! The gift is light, but the affection it represents weighs a thousand pounds. Merton said.
"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate! What an allusion! Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows and asked puzzled.
Merton couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered that there was no allusion to sending goose feathers for thousands of miles in this era, so he had to move out of "Mozi's Secret Writings" again.
There is also an allusion in "Mozi's Secret Writings", when Mozi was famous all over the world, a friend came all the way from Chu to visit him, and the gift he brought when he left was a goose from his hometown, but when he was halfway through, he rested by a lake, but accidentally, the goose as a gift broke free and jumped into the lake, and Mozi's friend only had time to grab a few goose feathers.
In desperation, Mozi's friend had no choice but to put away the goose feathers and continue to hurry, and after seeing Mozi, the friend handed the goose feathers as a gift with a ashamed face.
And Mozi did not have the slightest dislike, but was very moved: "Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate!" "Mozi didn't get angry because of the lightness of the gift, but paid more attention to the friendship with his friends!"
Mo Zimi's secret work really deserves its name, and the high-ranking official Empress Sun sighed with emotion, thinking that she also had a lot of girlfriends at the beginning, but unfortunately since she married Li Shimin, she has rarely contacted each other again, especially after becoming the queen, she has become a loner.
"That's because Mozi's friends went in person, and Mozi valued his friends more than the importance of gifts, and Mohou understood that Mozi's secret works were all misinterpretations." Li Chengqian sarcastically said that with his knowledge, he was naturally able to comprehend the connotation of sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, and being courteous and affectionate, but Mo Jiazi attached it far-fetched to the Kyoto Express, just as he distorted the iron pestle and grinded it into a needle in the court, and was not moved by the spirit of grinding the iron pestle into a needle, but thought that the embroidery needle at that time was too expensive, and such a classic Mozi was simply a tyrannical thing in the hands of Mo Jiazi.
Merton arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talented, the original intention of sending goose feathers thousands of miles is indeed so, but in reality, once friends go to other places, I am afraid it is difficult to see each other again, and how many people will come thousands of miles just to meet with friends, I am afraid that the vast majority of them are farewell, this friendship has gradually dissipated, with Kyoto Express, friends are still exchanged, I believe that the old friendship will definitely reappear." ”
"When the Kyoto courier delivered the package, did he still wrap it in a letter? Now that the gifts have been delivered, it is natural to write a letter to get in touch. Li Chengqian said in a weird way.
Princess Changle sighed in her heart, thinking that the prince's brother must have blamed Merton's Kyoto Express for robbing the post station delivery business, and hurriedly said: "It's not ............." ”
Merton stopped Princess Changle from arguing: "Kyoto Express regardless of letters or packages, all are treated equally, as long as it is not a prohibited thing in the court, Kyoto Express will be sent, so that the benefit of the people Mo is personally delivered to the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, and how did the prince do it, now Kyoto Express is just covering the Kannai Road, if it is a post station, I am afraid that the people of the world can enjoy this benefit." ”
"The post station is a public instrument of the court, and the private use of public equipment is a taboo, and the palace did nothing wrong at that time!" Li Chengqian argued.
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Princess Changle, who was originally going to resolve the conflict between the two, was anxious, and hurriedly asked the eldest grandson queen on the side for help: "Queen Mother, look at their ............." ”
Empress Changsun didn't seem to have the slightest accident, ignored the two who were arguing, looked at the anxious Princess Changle and smiled bitterly: "You stupid child, don't you still understand?" ”
"Ahh Princess Changle's calm eldest grandson queen, looked at the two people who were arguing with red faces and thick necks, but their expressions were pleasant, where did they look like two people who turned their faces, and with her understanding of the two, she had never seen the two of them quarrel so ungraced.
"Although mail order is suspected of public and private use, sending parcels for the people of the world is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and we should do our best." In the end, Empress Changsun made a final decision and ended the quarrel.
Li Chengqian could only say helplessly: "The child obeys the order of the queen mother. ”
Morton showed a smug expression and said: "Sending mail is Weichen's idea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that the post station can also do things that are beneficial to the world, and please don't forget the promise." ”
"Humph! This palace doesn't need you to remind you! Li Chengqian snorted and walked away.
When Princess Changle saw this situation, she didn't know whether to be relieved or hateful, she was glad that her husband and brother had never fallen out, and she hated that the two of them had hidden her so hard, which made her worry about it for many days.
