Chapter 177: Ink Bounty?
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what happened at the banquet in King Ning's Mansion last night spread among the literati and scholars on the second day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, a large part of the reason why the news spread so quickly is because of the sentence "I am worried about giving new words", which made countless talented people hit arrows in their knees.
After hearing this poem, some talented people look at their previous proud works, and all kinds of sorrow revealed between the words, their faces turn red, and after hiding it, they will not easily show it.
In the rich land south of the Yangtze River, the present world is stable, the years are quiet, and there is nothing to do when you are idle, chanting poems, writing words, this is the elegant life of the literati.
However, if they don't have enough experience, it is impossible to make good poems, they read books all day long, hold poetry meetings, and go to the brothel of Qinglou to experience the suffering of the people, where can there be so many national hatreds and family hatred, but in order to write poems, they can only "force sorrow".
Moaning without illness and worrying about sorrow, this has invisibly increased the exaggerated poetic style of the Jiangnan literary circle.
However, even if everyone knows this, they will not find it out, after all, in order to write the first word, you have to go to the border to experience the situation of the border and experience the pain of the destruction of your family and country......
And this sentence "for the new words to say sorrow" is like a slap in the face of them, reminding them to face the reality, I am afraid that from now on, when someone makes this kind of poem again, they have to weigh in their hearts whether there is a suspicion of "strong sorrow".
With the popularity of this poem, sweeping the brothels of Qinglou everywhere, it was heard by more people, and over time, the pompous style of the entire poetry world actually subsided, of course, these are all later words.
At this time, the "culprit" who caused this incident was lying on a rocking chair in his yard with a warm breeze.
Li Yi is very idle, and he hasn't been to the shop for several days.
Ruyilu and spirits bring in a lot of profits every day, the vast majority of which comes from the royal government's share, and Ruyifang's business is better than before, but its share of total income is getting smaller and smaller.
If he was the only one, I was afraid that he would close the shop and wait to collect money, but a wishful shop is related to the livelihood of many people in the village, they are willing to do it, and Li Yi is also happy to be a shopkeeper.
He's been waiting for Jinshan these days.
Counting the days, the emperor should have returned to the palace a long time ago, and the reward he said that night should be counted, right?
100 acres of fertile land, 100 horses of silk, of course, the most important thing is the 10,000 taels of gold, when will this be spent?
Thinking that so much money was rushing towards him, Li Yi's desire to make money was even less.
Lying on the rocking chair, there was still a faint soreness in some parts of my body, because of the excessive practice in the past two days.
The grumpy sister-in-law can't be provoked, isn't it just that she accidentally saw her washing her belly pocket in the yard two days ago, do you need to take revenge on yourself like this?
If it weren't for Ruyi's unique massage a few times, I'm afraid I would still tremble when I walk.
A chaotic sound suddenly came from outside the door, the courtyard door was not closed, two men with white faces and beards and cold and arrogant expressions pushed the door in, Li Yi looked up and saw two familiar eunuchs, and couldn't help but be happy.
The one who sent the money came.
"The two of you must have come all the way from afar, it must be very hard, do you want to have a cup of tea in the first room?" This time, Li Yi's attitude towards the two was completely different from before, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
After all, this time people are here to send money, and they can't get along with anyone, and they can't get along with gold.
Li Yi's attitude also made the two eunuchs stunned, and they were quite flattered.
It's only been a few days, and their attitudes have changed so much that the two are a little unaccustomed to it.
But this time, they made a smile, the cold faces of the two eased slightly, and their tones were much softer than last time, and they said: "Your Majesty has a decree, County Lieutenant Li, take the decree." ”
Xiaohuan was taken down the mountain by the Ruyi sisters to go shopping, Li Yi was the only one in the house, when the two eunuchs entered the village just now, it was estimated that there was a lot of movement, looking out of the door, many people looked inside curiously.
What's wrong with this uncle of the Ruyi family, it's only been a few days, why is there another holy decree?
They have counted their ancestors for generations, and they are afraid that they have not seen the holy decree once, but now it is good, they have seen it twice in a few days, although the holy decree is not for them, but when they go out in the future, they will have something to brag about.
Lao Tzu has knelt in front of the Holy Decree, and the Holy Decree is rare, have you ever seen it?
So, before Li Yi knelt, he knelt outside the door first.
"Li Yi, Lieutenant of Anxi County, created the method of "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" ......"
A eunuch began to recite the holy decree with an expressionless face, and the holy decree did not mention Li Yi's meritorious service in saving the driver, after all, the emperor also sneaked out this time, and he couldn't be too public, using the reason why Li Yi contributed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and said a lot of praise, but he didn't get to the point.
“…… There are 100 generations of merit, 100 horses of silk, 100 acres of fertile land, 10,000 gold, admiration! ”
By the time the eunuch finished reading, Li Yi was already a little impatient to take the holy decree, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
After a set of formal processes are completed, the next step is naturally the link that Li Yi is most looking forward to.
The accompanying servants moved the silk cloth to the yard one by one, and Li Yi had seen the title deed with his own eyes, but when all the errand servants stood back in place and stopped moving things to the house, Li Yi had not seen the ten thousand gold he had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Where's Wanjin?" Li Yi looked at one of the eunuchs and said.
Could it be that they forgot?
"Over there." The eunuch pointed to a rather ornate box in the middle of the silk cloth and said.
Li Yi looked at the box, and a thought couldn't help but appear in his heart.
Are you teasing me?
Where does this little broken box look like it can hold 10,000 taels of gold?
I ran over and opened the box, and saw copper coins lying inside.
"This is Wanjin?" Li Yi asked with some uncertainty.
"This is ten thousand gold, and there is no less." The eunuch nodded.
Li Yi was stunned for a while, and when he looked up again, his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at the eunuch.
"The two of you are a little too unkind, these copper coins are worth a tael of gold at most, where did you hide my gold? I tell you, I know you very well with your chief manager......"
Li Yi was very angry, 10,000 taels of gold, even if the two of them secretly intercepted so many tens or hundreds of taels, he didn't care, after all, people came from afar, and they should also give some hard money.
But this 10,000 taels of gold, when it was sent, there was only such a pile of copper coins left, which is too black-hearted!
This amount of money is not rare now, right?
When the two eunuchs heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched faintly, this Li County Lieutenant, didn't he think ...... Ten thousand gold is 10,000 taels of gold, right?
If this is the case, I am afraid that Your Majesty will reward a few more times, and the treasury will be emptied......
