Chapter 96
On the Field Dividing System
Li Yuanxiu was so angry that she hummed.
Xiang Dongyang knew his old friend's character and quickly said, "Emperor, father-in-law, please come in and have a tea!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, before Zhao Dongting moved, the beggar emperor Hong Wutian was already shaking in.
When Li Yuanxiu saw that he dared to walk in front of Zhao Dongting, she even stared at him and wanted to scold him, but before he could scold him, Zhao Dongting stopped him with his eyes.
In Zhao Dongting's view, just for this little vain, it would be better to compete with the leader of the Beggars' Sect, who had unfathomable martial arts.
Although Zhao Dongting had never heard of the name of the Beggars' Sect after traveling through time.
But he thought that if Hong Wutian could be so free and easy, the strength of the Beggars' Sect would not be much worse. It is probably not something that can be measured by Leizhou.
As soon as he walked to the inner room, Zhao Dongting saw the chessboard placed on the straw mat.
This game of chess has not been finished yet.
Xiang Dongyang was busy making tea again, and Hong Wutian sat on the chessboard alone. Looking at his chess, there were only three left, one handsome, and two soldiers. Looking at Xiang Dongyang's black chess, he only lost two pawns and a cannon. The level of chess is obvious immediately.
Li Yuanxiu brought a chair and asked Zhao Dongting to sit on it.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "I just heard two seniors discussing the affairs of the country outside the window, but I didn't hear it seriously. I wonder what the two seniors think of the current situation in our Song Dynasty?"
Hong Wutian pinched two chess pieces and tapped them gently, without answering.
While making tea in Dongyang, he replied: "Zhang Hongfan of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Heng's troops were just defeated, and we should be safe in Leizhou in a short period of time. The emperor used tough measures to curb Leizhou officials and was preparing to implement a land distribution system. Leizhou is prosperous. However, from the perspective of the national momentum, I said bluntly that it is still like a spark, and there is no sign of a prairie fire that can start a prairie fire..."
Zhao Dongting was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that Xiang Dongyang would have some views on the general trend of the country.
He obviously had an idea in his mind, otherwise he would never dare to say these words in front of himself, the emperor.
After pondering slightly, Zhao Dongting asked again: "Senior thinks my land distribution system is feasible or not? Is there a day for this spark to set off a prairie fire?"
He looked at Dongyang as if it was not ordinary, and some tests of his meaning.
If Xiang Dongyang is really insightful, no matter how old he is, Zhao Dongting will have to pull him into the court.
The current Southern Song court is too short of talented people.
Even compared to Hong Wutian, a master of beggar emperor, Zhao Dongting felt more anticipated by Xiang Dongyang, who was like a teacher.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Dongyang came to make tea and said, "The land distribution system is feasible, but it is difficult to do it. The fire of stars is still unknown..."
Zhao Dongting said in confusion: "What does this mean by senior?"
Xiang Dongyang stopped answering, sat back opposite Hong Wutian, and said, "Please drink tea from the emperor, and the countryside rough tea, you will be negligent, don't be surprised."
Hong Wutian smiled and said, "It is not good to be the emperor's fine skin and tender flesh. Now our Song Dynasty is full of war. It is better to drink more countryside rough tea. I am as thick as my skin and flesh, so I can suffer less injuries when I go to the battlefield."
As he said that, he picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, smacked it twice, exhaling a stream of heat, "Scent! So fragrant!"
After saying that, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl, squirted the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said, "Come on, come on, kill another one."
Xiang Dongyang just smiled bitterly, "You are a slutty chess player, you are playing a scoundrel again."
But he said this, but his hands were honestly placing chess pieces.
The two of them quickly set off and left the emperor Zhao Dongting aside.
Zhao Dongting thought about it slightly and knew it in his heart.
Hong Wutian looks unruly and unruly, while Xiang Dongyang is polite and gentle, but after all, both of them are extremely arrogant. However, Hong Wutian's arrogance is more exposed, while Xiang Dongyang's arrogance is relatively restrained.
He didn't want to tell Zhao Dongting why it was feasible to divide the land but difficult to do, because he had not yet recognized the emperor Zhao Dongting.
Seeing that the two old men had no intention of greeting each other, Zhao Dongting winked at Li Yuanxiu and stood up and said, "Two seniors, I will say goodbye first."
Hong Wutian didn't say anything, and just bowed to Dongyang and said, "Greatly send me the emperor."
When Zhao Dongting first came in, there was a look of sincerity in his eyes, but at this moment, he seemed much less inexplicably.
Li Yuanxiu couldn't see the arrogance of the two old men, so she snorted slightly, and walked out with Zhao Dongting.
When he got outside, Zhao Dongting closed the door. When he walked to the prefectural palace, Li Yuanxiu could no longer help and asked, "Why is the emperor so polite to the rude beggar?"
Hong Wutian and Xiang Dongyang obviously disliked Hong Wutian even more. Of course, it might be because they met the opponent and became determined to win.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Senior Hong has extraordinary martial arts skills and is also a person from the world. It is normal for you to stay in the palace all year round, just like your father-in-law, and be arrogant."
Li Yuanxiu said angrily: "But he actually claimed to be the emperor, and it was simply unforgivable for his crime."
He was full of his heart to the Southern Song court.
Zhao Dongting said: "Senior Hong said bluntly that he was a beggar emperor and claimed to be the 'our dynasty'. This means that he is a open-minded person. He is much more trustworthy than those who secretly want to rebel like Ge Lijun."
Li Yuanxiu was slightly stunned and stopped talking.
At this time, Hong Wutian and Xiang Dongyang in the house were also talking.
Hong Wutian asked with a smile: "You old man, you always talk about your love and talent but never meet him. This time the emperor came in person, why did you put on airs? You stopped talking halfway? You didn't ask the emperor to join the officialdom."
Xiang Dongyang smiled and said, "What do you think of the emperor?"
Hong Wutiandao: "Although I am young, I am confident, broad-minded and humble, I will be a rare sage emperor of the Song Dynasty in the future."
Xiang Dongyang said: "Then why don't you, old man, want the little beggars under your command to join the army and serve the country?"
Hong Wutian held the chess piece in his hand and looked a little serious. "If he could really manage this Leizhou well, there would be no need for me to persuade him. The brothers of our Beggars' Sect would be willing to resist the Yuan thief. If he could not manage Leizhou well, even if the Yuan thief was eliminated in the future, the world would be difficult. I would rather let the brothers under my command beg for a living with peace of mind."
Xiang Dongyang said again: "What if I manage this Leizhou Prefecture?"
Hong Wutian chuckled and said, "Although you, a sour old man, can't do anything else, you're no longer a problem in managing government affairs. Hey... you mean, have you decided to come out to assist the emperor?"
"Haha, my poetry and books are still worth some money."
