Chapter 83 Rabbit Xianggong
"Husband, are you angry?" Li Wanting saw that Li Sanjian was silent for a long time, so she felt a little panicked and asked in fear.
"No!" Li Sanjian stroked Li Wanting's hair and shook his head and said, "Wanting, what you said is the heartfelt words, and I am thinking about me, Li. How can I be angry?"
Li Wanting's words made Li Sanjian very depressed.
I have been an official until now, but I still can't be a woman with knowledge. I can see the Song officialdom clearly and see the key to the Song officialdom.
"So what are you thinking about?" Li Wanting asked again.
"What else can I think?" Li Sanjian shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I have been an official so far that I realized that I can't be an official, and I am not as good as a woman..."
"Puchi!" Li Wanting couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "My husband was the one who just became an official after he passed the imperial examination in the third year of Yuanfu. He has been an official in the imperial examination. He has not yet been two years. Before the imperial examination, his husband was only a scholar and a general citizen. He was a chief official in a state in Quanzhou in less than two years. He was simply envious. He still said he didn't know how to be an official? Hehe..."
"You..." Li Sanjian looked at Li Wanting and said, "Who are you? What you say immediately becomes reasonable..."
"I am my husband's woman, my husband's concubine..." Li Wanting said with a pout.
"Pretty little!" Li Sanjian glared at Li Wanting and said slowly: "The way to be an official is to follow the right path. No matter what the heaven of the Song Dynasty is, no matter what it is, be careful about the people, and not the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, be an official, cultivate the virtues of officials, work diligently for the people, reform the old and the innovation, promote profit and eliminate the disadvantages, and then be worthy of the heart. The right path in the world is vicissitudes. As for the respect of officials, favors, welcome and send off, etc. in the officialdom, since it is unavoidable, it is also... it can also go with the flow, but I, Li Sanjian, insist on my original intentions and just treat it as mud..."
"From the sludge without being stained!" Li Wanting looked at Li Sanjian and said softly: "My husband's words, the little girl has been taught!"
"Haha!" Li Sanjian smiled and said, "Are you really or fake? Wanting, in the future, you will deal with the messy things such as official respect, favors, welcome and sending in the officialdom, etc.?"
"Me?" Li Wanting said in surprise when she heard this, "Nu Nu is a woman..."
"What's wrong with the woman?" Li Sanjian said with a smile: "In ancient times, Mulan went to join the army for her father, but now, my delicate little lady from Li Sanjian is going to give gifts for her husband..."
Of course, Li Sanjian understood what kind of material he was, gifts, favors, etc. Li Sanjian was unwilling to do it, nor was he good at it, and was not used to it, so he simply threw it to Li Wanting, and acted as a turtle, and was not upset when he was invisible.
Anyway, Li Wanting is good at this and is familiar with it...
"Bah!" Li Wanting spat at Li Sanjian and said angrily: "You... aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Li Sanjian asked with a smile: "I'm afraid you will show up in public? What's the harm in taking a few glances? Can you still watch my delicate little lady run away?"
"In a few days, you can do something with me." Li Sanjian finally said to Li Wanting.

"Zhou Yuanwai, where have you made a fortune recently?"
"What's the money? The business is getting more and more
It’s getting worse and harder to do. Quanzhou was originally hoping to make some money this time, but... he didn’t expect... he almost lost all his money. Qin Yuanwai, how are you?"
"Oh, it's almost the same. All the three ships of white rice ships shipped were sold at a low price. Make money? I didn't lose all the travel expenses back, which is considered to be my ancestor of Qin. However, Zhou Yuanwai, I heard that Wu Yuanwai made a lot of money."
"That thief, he ran faster than a rabbit. If there was a slightest noise, he would immediately run away. This time he made a fortune! This old biting insect must have been a three-length-mouthed rabbit in his previous life..."
"Bang!"
"Ouch...Mr. Wu..."
"Zhou Master Zhou, Hu Nuo said, I will tear off your two pieces of sausage mouth and mix them as pig's mouth and eat them... What money do I make? The ship money, wages, material money, etc. I will spend a lot of money. If I don't lose, it's just that my Wu family's ancestral tomb is smoking... If you want to make money, it's the government and the local vendors in Quanzhou..."
"Yes, yes, how can this so-called strong dragon match the local snake? This Quanzhou is someone else's territory..."
"Who said no? You will get the moon first when you get close to the water, but it will be a pain for us to wait for foreign vendors."
"Once you bite insects! You say this, it seems like you are farting... I went out and married a concubine, and the price of food was like entering a bridal chamber..."
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
"It's like pants, it's so scattered. I can't use the money I lost even if I can't get enough money to marry eight concubines. If I had known, what kind of concubine I was taking? What kind of marriage would I marry..."
"This is called "squeezing birds". It's so bad that I'm so bad that I'm offended Tai Sui... Is it so easy for me to marry a concubine?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Bang! Ouch!"
“…….”
"Hey, hey, stop beating, everyone, why did the government invite me to come today?"
"Who knows what bad water is in their stomachs?"
"I know, I know."
"Oh, Zuo Yuanwai knows it? Tell me quickly."
"The government summoned us, what else can we do besides taxes?"
"What I'm saying is right, but the question is that I have paid the taxes, so why do I still have to collect taxes?"
"You don't understand this, right? There are taxes for coming, and taxes for going, which is called 'buy money'..."
"Then today is the 'Hongmen Banquet'?"
"Do they still let people live?"
"The name of 'Li Baipi' is indeed well-deserved!"
A few days later, within the largest restaurant in Quanzhou, "Fengyu Pavilion", vendors from all over the Song Dynasty, local vendors in Quanzhou, and even some foreign merchants, Hu merchants gathered here. They were invited by Quanzhou Prefecture Office to come to the "Fengyu Pavilion" for a banquet.
Most of these vendors from all over the Song Dynasty traded grain to Quanzhou this time, hoping to make huge profits.
Because the rice prices in Quanzhou have plummeted in recent days, directly falling below the price of rice and grain before the Quanzhou flood, the merchants suffered heavy losses, and their faces were as beautiful as earth. Fortunately, the Quanzhou Prefecture Office took action again and paid for the repurchase of rice and grain. The price of rice and grain in Quanzhou stabilized at about 80 yuan per bull, slightly higher than the price of rice and grain before the Quanzhou flood.
As a result, about half of the merchants lost money
, and the profits of money-making vendors also dropped significantly, which was far from expectations, so almost everyone was full of righteous indignation, talkative words, and full of complaints. Taking advantage of the future of the Quanzhou government, they scolded the people of Quanzhou government and others to the bloody...
At this time, the name "Li Bopi" appeared in the words of the merchants again. Everyone criticized them, as if they could make back the lost money.
"The Prefect Li, the governor of Quanzhou, arrived!" Just as the merchants were talking and complaining, talking about "Li Baishang", the people who were welcomed outside the door sang loudly.
When the merchants heard this, they stopped immediately.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! This is the territory of Quanzhou. It’s okay to talk about Li Sanjian behind the scenes. If you talk about him in person, wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable with yourself? Especially the maritime merchants have to deal with Quanzhou and Quanzhou Maritime Control and Prefecture for a long time, so they dare not offend the chief officials of Quanzhou in person.
Only a few people who are not very smart are still talking in a low voice, but they are soon stopped by others.
After a moment, wearing a scarlet official uniform, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, walked in with a "slave servant" and several financial officials of Quanzhou Prefecture.
It turned out that Prefect Li was so young and so handsome. Many people in the merchants had never seen Li Sanjian before. When they saw him, they couldn't help but exclaim.
What is even more amazing is that a person next to Li Sanjian who was not sure whether he was his accompanying "susian" or a clerk in the state yamen. He was dressed in black uniform, had a petite figure, and a handsome face. He could be said to have picturesque eyes and beautiful eyebrows, like a young woman? And the two entered the restaurant side by side, looking extremely close...
Could it be that Li Sanjian, the magistrate of Quanzhou, had a "longyang fetish"? He had a "benefit of a child"? The name of this entourage around him who looked very similar to a woman was his "rabbit husband"? Everyone speculated boldly in their hearts.
Only a few careful people among the merchants discovered that this person was indeed a woman.
"You can pay homage to Li Fuzun and all the officials!" No matter what, the courtesy should not be abolished, so the merchants stood up and worshiped each other.
"Haha, you guys are exempted from the gift!" Li Sanjian raised his right hand slightly and returned the gift. After sitting down on the main seat, he said, "Please sit down, come and see the tea."
"Rabbit Husband" was not polite at all and sat directly beside Li Sanjian, while the other clerks bowed and stood by Li Sanjian's side.
So everyone became more convinced that this person was Li Sanjian's "guest in the curtain"...
The restaurant shopkeeper, the guy, the servant and others brought up a bowl of teacups and also brought up some fruits, vegetables and pastries.
Seeing this, Zhu Shang was even more distracted and even more dissatisfied with Li Sanjian.
Hongmen Banquet, Hongmen Banquet, people are at least a banquet, but what happened to Li Sanjian's move? He just used some tea, fruits, vegetables, and pastries?
This time, the Quanzhou Prefecture Office made a lot of money in the "rice and grain storm" in Quanzhou. But the Grand Tutor of Li Dazhou invited merchants to the banquet at the "Fengyu Pavilion" and used tea, snacks and other things to distribute? This is too stingy, right? It's too bullying, right? Everyone thought to themselves.
After the tea, snacks, fruits and vegetables were arranged in front of the merchants, Li Sanjian whispered a few words in his ear, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I believe you want to know why I invited each other today?"
