Chapter 94 The letter without signature

Yin Guanghao felt very uncomfortable when he heard that someone from Yin Hongzhi impeached Li You, and he said, "Dad, I have to go out and send a letter to Brother You."

Yin Hongzhi also felt that this should be the case, so he wrote a handwritten letter, writing all the things that happened in the court, his own analysis of this matter, and the concubine Yin’s concern for Li You, and handing them over to Yin Guanghao.

Yin Guanghao called Zhou Gan and told him to take care of business affairs and went out with a few generals.

On the same day, a thick man dressed in a house servant came out of Fanglin Gate and headed straight for Shanzhou.

On that day, Li You and others came to Jingyang County. He had never been there since he left last time. He heard that the brick tea base was well built, so he wanted to go and have a look.

He sought the opinions of Murong Ling and others.

Brick tea is very popular in Tuyuhun and most people cannot drink it. Murong Ling heard Li You say that this brick tea was invented by him, and was very curious and wanted to go and see it. So everyone turned on the fork road to the brick tea base.

Shortly after Li You and others left the official road, Yin Guanghao and others rushed by and missed the opportunity to meet Li You.

At the foot of Mount Saga, rows of neat houses and large workshops have risen from the ground. There is now a new name here, called "Tea Nong New Village".

Although the Tea Nong New Village is called Xincun, the number of tea farmers and their families gathered here has reached thousands. There are also people building houses around the new village, and it has become a town.

Li You and others dismounted and walked towards the town.

Zhuang Gousheng is now the manager of the tea-making workshop. His family has been assigned a yard with six new houses. The children have already put on new clothes and went to school.

He never dreamed that he could live such a life. His black face, his beard was shaved, his wrinkles seemed to have decreased a lot, and he looked much younger, like a normal middle-aged man.

At noon that day, he got off work, walked towards the house with his hands behind his back, and satisfied. His newly married wife made a good dish, and going home for dinner every day was his great enjoyment.

Just as he walked to the door of his house, a villager ran on the street and shouted: "Prince Qi is here, Prince Qi is here!"

Hulala, many villagers poured out of the streets and saluted Li You.

"Prince, Prince", the villagers shouted enthusiastically.

The people are very simple. Whoever gives them food will be their benefactors. Everyone knows that this "Tea Rural New Village" is the prince's property, and the prince is their boss.

Although everyone is the prince's servant and was exploited by the prince, they are still grateful to the prince from the bottom of their hearts. It is precisely because of the prince's exploitation that these homeless refugees have such a life of food and clothing today and a new home to settle down.

Looking at the sincere smiles of the tea farmers, Li You smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hello everyone, have you eaten?"

The tea farmers said together: "I've eaten it, prince."

Seeing that the prince of his family is so popular, Baihu and other generals are very proud to follow him.

Hamid, Hao Lianbote, Gao Yong, who followed Li You back to report on his work, and others had a new understanding of Li You and secretly admired him.

Murong Ling felt strange and thought to herself: "These people have not eaten yet, why would Li You ask them if they have eaten? All the people said they have eaten?"

"Have you eaten?" This sentence is the most simple and appropriate greeting in the Han national culture. Food is the most important thing for people!

Murong Ling only studies those elegant cultures that fall into literal terms, but does not know the most common culture among the people.

In fact, Li You was not familiar with these people, so he just knew Zhuang Gousheng and a few others. He looked around the crowd and asked, "Is Zhuang Gousheng?"

"Here, here." Zhuang Gousheng, who was blocked by the crowd, shouted excitedly. The crowd made way for a passage and let him come over.

"Caomin has seen the prince." Zhuang Gousheng's face turned red with excitement, but his face was dark and he looked a little purple.

Then, he shouted outside, "Damn, come here quickly."

A thin middle-aged woman with yellow face brought her two children over, and Zhuang Gousheng said, "Kowtow to the prince quickly."

The middle-aged woman and her two children had to kneel down and kowtow to Li You.

Li You reached out to stop him and said, "Forgive." He looked at the woman and smiled, "Lao Zhuang, okay, you're married."

Zhuang Gousheng said excitedly: "Prince, since you built a tea shop here, your life for villains has improved. People outside envy us, and women are competing to marry in. Recently, there are more than one villain who has been married."

"Yes, yes. My eldest son just married a wife the day before yesterday, and someone proposed to marry his younger son." An old man said happily.

"Yes, yes, my brother just married a wife, and he is also the daughter of a scholar in the county." said a small and middle-aged man.

Li You laughed and said, "Congratulations, OK, your life is getting better, I'm happy too."

After saying that, he looked at Zhuang Gousheng's child and said, "Your name is Lianhua, your name is Ergou, right?"

Both children were very happy, not as scared and shy as they had seen strangers before, and they grinned.

Li You took out a few pieces of candy, handed it to the two children, and asked about their learning situation. Then he said, "The things you learned are just a basic foundation. I will send someone to teach you more useful knowledge in the future."

Afterwards, Li You talked to the people about tea production.

Seeing that Li You are so friendly and so popular with the people, Hao Lianbote, Gao Yong and others were secretly amazed.

Li You and others visited the houses and tea making workshops, stayed here for about two hours, and then left. The people kept sending half a mile away, but stopped at Li You's request. They stood there, watching Li You and others' backs until they could not see it, and they returned.

When the county magistrate Zhao Jingshu rushed over after hearing the news, Li You and others had already left. The mayor of Cha Nong New Village said to him: "When the prince left, he asked the villain to tell the county magistrate that you did a good job and he would recommend you to Your Majesty. He also said that when you come to Chang'an to do business, please go to his house as a guest."

"Really?" Zhao Jingshu was overjoyed when he heard this.

Shortly after Li You and others got on the official road, a rough man dressed in a slave came towards him. He held the reins of the horse and stared at Li You and others.

When Baihu saw that the person was suspicious, he immediately took someone to cross-examine.

Soon, he came back and said, "Prince, this person said he was here to deliver a letter to you. He asked who sent him, but he refused to say it."

Li You said, "Let him come over."

Baihu brought the man over, and the man said, "You are His Highness, King Qi, my master sent a villain to send you a letter." As he said that, he took out an envelope from his arms.

Li You took out the letter and it was a piece of pink rice paper with the handwriting on it, as if it was from a woman's hand. At this time, he smelled a faint fragrance of rouge.

Li You was very confused. He frowned after reading the contents of the letter. The letter mentioned what happened in the court recently and reminded Li You to be careful.

Seeing that the letter was not signed, Li You asked, "Can you tell me the name of your owner?"

The man said, "Your Highness, my master will not let the villain reveal her name. Please forgive me for not disobeying."

Li You nodded and said, "Okay, when you go back and tell your master, you will say that I am thanking him here."

The man said, "Yes, Your Highness, your words must be brought here." After that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards Chang'an City.
