Chapter 73 Interview

Pokou, the backyard of the big catfish Peng restaurant, Li Lizheng, Peng Jun, Wu Xiang and Jia Cheng talked about something. He was going to Xunyang soon, and he didn't know when he would come back, so there was one thing that needed help from others.

Li Li planned to open a workshop to make money, and make money openly, instead of secretly hatching fish fry. However, the Lifang system is not popular these days, so the usual name is a workshop rather than a workshop.

The workplace needs to be built, production equipment needs to be installed and available employees are trained, and the four elements of raw materials, namely site, personnel, equipment and materials must be purchased.

The workshop that Li Li was going to build actually covers a small area, but he needs help from his partners. He first solves the site and personnel, that is, according to his plan, selects the site, builds the workshop, and prepares the hardware.

Then buy slaves and conduct basic training, such as being able to distinguish between left and right, and doing chores.

As for production equipment, because it involves technology and requires hydraulic power, Li Li has to do it himself, but some parts can be prepared in advance: he has been preparing for a long time and the equipment model has been made.

The raw materials required for production are simple and easy to buy, so you have to wait until the workplace is ready.

"I am going to search for the Yang Dynasty. I don't know if I can enter the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion. If it fails, I will come back in ten days and half a month. If it succeeds, it may take several months to come back."

"No matter which one it is, I still have to rely on your help for the sake of safety."

When Peng Jun heard this, he almost patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if you have anything to help, just tell me!"

Jia Cheng, who had moved to Baishi Village, had known about this before, just like Wu Xiang. Now, he has to formally decide on the division of labor and everyone works together to get things done.

All of this, Li Li wrote a detailed construction plan, and listed one by one, and now confirmed it with several partners one by one:

"I have chosen the address. It is a river several miles away from the east of our village. Although it is a barren wasteland, in order to avoid trouble, I have to discuss it with the village. I have already told Li Si that Wu Lang will do it next."

"All kinds of building materials needed for construction work, as well as craftsmen who need to be hired during construction, please ask Peng Lang to help contact him. Wu Lang is responsible for communicating with the craftsmen and asking them to build according to the model. In fact, this is a big yard with a house..."

Li Li also said: "When the construction site starts, Wu Lang will supervise the worker. After all, he will live in the village, which is convenient. As for Jia Lang, he will be with Wu Lang to arrange this matter at that time."

Jia Cheng felt that he had helped less and asked: "So what about hiring a worker? What should I do if I hire a worker?"

"It depends on Peng Lang and Uncle Jia's help." Li Li picked up another roll of paper, "My workplace needs to hire workers, but I will not hire long-term workers to the outside world, but to buy slaves."

"Penglang has relatives and friends in the city, so Penglang will take my mother and Jialang's Aye to buy some slaves back. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad, and to have a young man or a girl, which is easy to teach."

Seeing that Peng Jun said there was no problem, Li Li continued: "I have prepared the money and expenses I need to buy from me, and my mother is in charge of it. Wu Lang is responsible for the expenses and the bookkeeping. After me came back, I placed it in the big house in the city."

"Please help from Uncle Jia, and take care of these people in the big mansion first so that they can divide the differences and do things."

"When the workshop is built, they will be taken to the workshop. Then, Jia Lang will continue to teach them how to do things, at least they can do laundry, cook, and repair them."

"As for the 'equipment' to be used in the workshop, I have handed over the original parts to Wulang. I need Penglang's help, took the originals to the city iron smelting, paid for someone to make molds, and then cast them out of pig iron."

"After the parts come back, Jia Lang will be responsible for the storage. After the workshop is built and the personnel move in, Jia Lang will be the manager first and arrange daily life, that is, food, clothing, housing and three things."

Jia Cheng nodded: "No problem!"

He and Aye left the palace, had new friends and a place to settle down, and both father and son lived in Baishi Village, working with Wu Xiang, Pang Qiu and others on weekdays.

However, later I felt that there was no need to hide from the people in the royal palace, so Jia Cheng's Ayejiaping lived in the villa of Li Li in the city, and helped Li Li guard the house with a group of teenagers who also served as guards.

Now, Li Li went to Xunyang and might have to go to the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion to accompany the prince. I don't know when I will come back, so Wu Xiang and others will prepare for the preliminary preparations for the workshop.

It’s like before cooking, the craftsman prepares cooking utensils, ingredients, and seasonings, and lits the fire. When Li Li, the “chef”, comes back, he will be able to cook immediately.

Of course, if Li Li fails to enter the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion as he wishes, he will be able to come back soon and he will also need the assistance of others.

Li Li looked at his friends and said solemnly: "This time, I would like to thank everyone for their help in advance!"

.....

In the prefecture of Jiangzhou, the governor's residence, the Xiangdong royal palace, and the study room, the Xiangdong king Xiao Yi is studying two lines of poetry. These two lines of poetry have fourteen words in total, but they describe the beautiful scenery beautifully.

"The setting sun and the lonely geese fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color..."

Xiao Yi repeated these two lines of poetry, and I don’t know how many times he repeated it. After a long time, he sincerely praised: “Good sentences, good sentences!”

He put down the white paper with the poems written, feeling lost: "Wang Bo, Wang Bo, I don't know why you are a talented man. I really want to drink and have fun with you..."

Next to him, a young servant stepped forward, put the paper away, and then returned to his original position, looking at a young man waiting at the door of the yard.

The young man was Li Li, the official of Yuliang in Poyang, and was waiting for the King of Xiangdong at this moment.

It's actually an interview.

Li Li followed Xu Junsheng, a military officer from the Xiangdong Palace, to Xunyang. Because of his shabby clothes, he had to dress up in advance. He took a shower and changed his clothes last night and wore clean today.

I learned the rules and etiquette again, and I was waiting for the King of Xiangdong to ask questions at this moment.

The King of Xiangdong handled official duties in Zhai Pavilion. As a humble official, Li Li had a very low status in such a public place and was not qualified to come in. He could only wait outside. Every question and answer between the two parties was "transferred" by a third party.

Li Li is from Poyang, Jiangzhou, with a strong accent. Although the King of Xiangdong can understand it, it is difficult to listen, so someone needs to pass the message in the middle.

"You really saw this poem in the water pavilion outside the city?" Xiao Yi asked. Li Li had heard Liu Yan and Liu Pan and his son's "Jiankang accent", so he could barely understand it at this moment, so he replied:

"When you go back to your highness, the villain really saw it in the water pavilion."

The official "translated" Li Li's words and conveyed them to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi stared at Li Li, with one eye flashing with a gleam: "Then, the fish belly poem last year... Some people say that you wrote it."

The sudden question surprised Li Li. Of course, he could not admit it at this time, so he insisted: "Go back to Your Highness, the villain has a clear conscience and is willing to confront him."

"I don't believe what this person said, and there is no evidence. I just think it's crazy after drinking." Xiao Yi downplayed and turned the topic away: "I'm just hearing your name one after another, it's really interesting."

"When you go back to Your Highness, the villain is frightened. He just fishes on weekdays, but he encounters things one after another..." Li Li tried his best to pretend to be intimidating to reflect the panic look that a minor countryman should be when he sees a noble person.

"Xu Chanjun praised you, haha, he is a proud man and rarely praises others." Xiao Yi said while looking at Li Li, who was "fearing and terrified" and was very satisfied with the boy's appearance.

Xiao Yi had one-eyed eyes. When he stared at people, his expression was a bit cunning. He thought that when a humble official like Li Li saw him, he should look so nervous.

Xiao Yi is not unfamiliar with Li Li's name, because he had heard of it twice before, once in Yufu's collection of books, and once in Lu Quan's false accusation case.

Later, because this person involved the poisoning and murder case of the Poyang Palace, he indirectly suffered an unintentional disaster.

Therefore, Xiao Yi hated this little official a little.

As the governor of Jiangzhou, Xiao Yi, of course, saw the file, knew the detailed story of the matter, and also saw the poem of the fish belly.

His first reaction was that the poem on the fish belly was fabricated for the fish-liang official. The purpose might be to get rid of the fish soldiers assigned by the county party committee, or to be instructed by someone to have other intentions.

However, he had no evidence to prove that the poem "The Fish Belly" was compiled by Yuliang Li or others. The content of the poem was related to the allusion of Buddha sacrificing himself to feed the tiger, so he no longer investigated it.

Xiao Yi knew that the fish belly poem was sent to Jiankang. After reading it, his father sighed and ordered people to frame it, and asked the ministers to discuss it from time to time.

So, for Xiao Yi, the truth about this matter is not important. What matters is that his father is happy, that is enough.

However, his view of the Poyang minority was: his mind was not right.

This summer, a case occurred in Poyang. Lu Quan, who was lent in the Poyang royal palace, falsely accused good people, among which the false accused was Yuliang Li Li.

Xiao Yi had read the case file and knew that Li Li had been severely tortured, so he refused to plead guilty and finally overturned the case.

A young man with such a hard bone made Xiao Yi feel strange. He may not be able to be inappropriate in his mind.

Later, the murder of Zhan Liang, the manager of the Poyang Prince's Mansion, appeared, which was related to Li Li. Xiao Yi felt more and more strange: Why is this young man so troubled? Could it be that he is causing trouble?

The murder case of Zhan Liang led to his impeachment by King Luling, but he was very angry, so Xiao Yi was actually very unhappy when he saw Li Li now.

In the case of Zhan Liang, the final murderer was Zhan Liang's servant A Liu, and Li Li was not guilty, but Xiao Yi carefully thought about the file and felt that Li Li was quite suspicious.

It's just that there is no evidence.

Jia Cheng, a fugitive slave of the royal palace, went to Jingzhou to file a lawsuit, and maybe it was Li Li's instructor. Although there was no evidence, Xiao Yi was also very annoyed.

If it weren't for Xu Junlu's strong recommendation, Li Li wouldn't have the chance to stand in front of the pavilion.

Xiao Yi disagreed with Li Li's constant praise.

However, Xu Junlu's remarks made Xiao Yi think that he could consider: letting Li Li accompany the prince can demonstrate his demeanor.

To show demeanor, these four words are very important. Compared with what King Luling did, he did this, and the comparison between the two is a judgment.

What King Luling did was to revenge, but King Xiangdong had extraordinary demeanor and was tolerant.

Xiao Yi hated Xiao Xu for many things and for her.

When Xiao Yi thought of his beloved beauty Li Taoer being forced to return west, he was bleeding. As long as he could compare King Luling, even if it was just a little bit, it seemed that he could let a fishy official accompany the prince to fish.

After a conversation, Xiao Yi found that Li Li was ignorant and had no ink in his belly. He became increasingly disliked, but considering that the other party was good at fishing, it was reasonable to accompany the prince to fish.

Xiao Yi thought about it carefully, looked at Li Li, and made up his mind.

"Li Li, I heard that your family has an old mother, a widowed sister-in-law and a young nephew?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, what Your Highness said is very much. The villain is the only male in the family. The whole family pointed at the villain to fish and support the family." Li Li whispered.

"Then, what should you do if you come to Xunyang?"

"If a friend in the village of Xiaoren helps to make money, his life is much better than in previous years. If a villain is not at home and has something to do at home, his neighbors will also help..."

"Since that's the case, you can go to the prince's mansion and accompany the prince." Xiao Yi said lightly.

"The villain obeys the order!"

Li Li thanked him, but he was still worried and terrified, but he was happy: The interview has been completed!

He had heard Xu Junlu say before that the prince of Xiangdong, Xiao Fang and others were about the same age as him. They were easy-going, skilled in painting, and were knowledgeable in literature and history. They also liked flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Therefore, Li Li, a peer who is easy to get along with, has the confidence to show his talent and let the prince look at him differently.

In the future, with the prince as his backer, his situation will be opened.

Thinking of this, Li Li was excited. He came to Xunyang this time and made preparations for the sake of safety.

Now it seems that both preparations can be carried out together. He is fishing with the prince in Xunyang and showing his talents as soon as possible. Wu Xiang and others are planning to build a workshop in Baishi Village as planned.

If you walk on two legs, the road ahead will be much easier.
