"The emperor has already submitted, but the powerful ministers are still not convinced. It is also appropriate to remind them by beating them." Qi Xuan looked at her son's iron-blooded face and thought of the teachings she had given him back then. She suddenly felt that her son was better than his predecessors.

, he felt proud in his heart, but he was still a little worried after all, so he reminded him: "But you have to pay attention to the propriety in this beating."

Qi Zhuji nodded, "These people can't hold the army back, and they are useless no matter what. If they don't understand, they will suffer."

Qi Xuan couldn't help but laugh to himself when he thought that even the prince died in the palace of Prince Yami, and even the emperor was forced to imprison himself in the Lake Heart Jingyuan.

It seems that I am indeed old.

Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji...these young people will not act sloppily at all. If they want to do something, they will do it thoroughly.

"Then other than letting me rest in peace and not get involved in these things to avoid getting into trouble, is there nothing you can do for me to help?"

He looked at Qi Zhuji who was engrossed in eating, with a look of affection in his eyes, "Father and son go into battle, after all, I am also your father, after all, I am also a prince, you just let me rest, don't let me help you out."

force?"

"Can't you take some time off?"

Qi Zhuji laughed, but then became serious again and said: "You seem to have a good relationship with those who stayed in Nantianyuan. How about you try to give them a break this time and prevent them from getting involved."

Qi Xuan frowned slightly and said seriously: "Well, those people can be regarded as the emperor's people after all. Since the emperor imprisoned himself in Huxinjingyuan, if you kill some of these old people in Nantianyuan, it will not be a good reputation if it spreads.

, there is a sense of taking the opportunity to eliminate the suspicion of the emperor's cronies. Although the emperor imprisoned himself, as long as he reigns, he is orthodox."

Qi Zhuji hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "If possible, it would be best if we could take this opportunity to borrow the books and classics from Nantianyuan."

If it were someone else, he would not be able to say it clearly, but he naturally had nothing to hide from his father. "Although Mo Zong went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, just like when he fled from the Southern Dynasties to the Northern Wei Dynasty, if he appeared again, it would be the same as before.

After a completely reborn change, Lin Yi's cultivation method is special, and he has a chance to compete with the Demon Sect. However, his practice has encountered some obstacles recently, and he wants to borrow as many relevant practice books as possible. We have other practice places and academies.

We can find someone to be accommodating, provide some benefits in exchange, and lend the book collection over, but the remaining people in Nantianyuan are originally from the emperor's lineage and are hostile to us and the Chen family, but it is difficult to deal with it."

"They are not stupid either. They probably know in their hearts that the Demon Sect is the real enemy of the Southern Dynasty. If the Demon Sect is not eliminated, the Southern Dynasty will never be stable. It's just impossible for them to bow their heads openly." Qi Xuan nodded.

, "Don't worry, I will find a way to do this. If it doesn't work, I will directly ask people with enough weight around the emperor to do this."

Qi Zhuji looked at his serious expression, and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in her heart. However, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she deliberately said: "That's right...you have been ups and downs in Jiankang and Kangxi, and you have so many connections. If you can't even do such a small thing,

If you can’t even handle it, that would be strange.”

"You little brat." Qi Xuan laughed, "How dare you make fun of me."

"I may not be living at home these days. I am acting in secret. If I show up in public, it will bring some trouble to my father." Qi Zhuji lowered her head and started eating again, and whispered intermittently: "But I should do it every once in a while. return."

"That's not urgent." Qi Xuan waved her hand, but suddenly thought of something again, and said seriously: "Actually, when it comes to collecting books and classics, in addition to the old library of Qiyun College, the collection of books in Nantian College, there are also those famous practice places In addition to the academy and the academy, there are actually many places with rich collections of books, some of which even far exceed those of famous practice places."

Qi Zhuji was slightly startled.

Qi Xuan didn't do any riddles, she just stretched out her finger and pointed at one place.

Qi Zhuji followed his finger and reacted immediately.

"You mean these Buddhist temples?"

The place where Qi Xuan's finger pointed happened to be two pagodas in a temple not far away.

"Buddha likes to collect books most."

Qi Xuan looked at Qi Zhuji and said, "You don't have deep contact with these people, so you don't know... In fact, in addition to constantly keeping and collecting various Buddhist scriptures, these monks don't like gold, silver, jewelry, various classics, and even Calligraphy, paintings, and poetry, they collected them all."

When he said this, he found it interesting. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Not to mention anything else, when the stupa was completed before, only the scriptures and books, calligraphy and painting were enshrined and sealed in the stupa. The quantity is really beyond my imagination.”

Qi Zhuji frowned deeply and said: "So we, like Lin Yi, didn't like these Buddhist temples very much before. We always felt that these monks consumed a lot of money and were a drag on the Southern Dynasty. However, since the collection of books in these temples is also amazing, we can think of ways to borrow them. ’s collection of books?”

"If the emperor opened the mouth of Chrysostom, most of these temples would be willing to release the books. But it would be difficult for the emperor to open his mouth now." Qi Xuan smiled, looked at his grown son with deep meaning, and continued: "There are so many temples. Let's open some gaps first. You should know how to follow the trend. Since you are going to beat those people right away when you come back, when you beat, can you also let them contribute some strength?"

Qi Zhuji thought for a while and said, "Good idea."

…

The newly appointed priest was riding in a carriage passing the old bell tower in Jiankang City.

There is an alley to the left of the old clock tower, all of which are gambling houses, and all of the alleys to the right of the old bell tower are antique shops and pawn shops.

Money comes and goes easily in gambling houses. People who lose a lot will be eager to pawn their valuables. If they pawn in a hurry, the price will be cheaper and the pawn shop will make a lot of profits. People who win a lot will be eager to pawn their valuables. They always spend money wantonly, and it is easy for these people to buy expensive and impractical things, such as antiques.

Over time, those who are unlucky, or those who are lucky and have no restraint, will easily lose uncontrollably, and in the end it will be easy for their own lives to be lost.

Therefore, there are many red-eyed people willing to work hard in these two alleys.

These people are often as weak as wild dogs.

But since such business exists, those businessmen who accept more business will naturally accept some businesses that are willing to pay a high price, but are more difficult to handle.

When the newly-appointed Situ Jijiu's carriage passed the old clock tower and passed through the alley on the right, someone from an antique shop in that alley opened the door and came out.

This is a little old man wearing a leather jacket and looking very ordinary.

The old man walked slowly through a narrow alley, detoured several times, and happened to meet the carriage at the next intersection.

The old man rubbed his hands and let out a breath of white air.

Situ Jijiu in the carriage narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Don't use people in the court. It's best to use practitioners from outside, but they must be strong enough."

The old man raised his collar and felt a little cold, but he didn't say a word of nonsense and just said: "Understood."

This time is destined to be a loss-making business, but if you want to do big business in Jiankang City, you must have the care of important people, especially this kind of human life business, it is impossible to hide in the dark and get away with it.

As the most outstanding businessman like him, he naturally knows that many of the practitioners who took jobs in the past were even worshipers around the big shots. Some people just don't know the rules and should not exist in Jiankang. Some practitioners

Killing people is just like doing odd jobs to earn more for spiritual practice.

Although the person who came forward this time was already a senior member of the Third Class of the DPRK, he knew very well that this senior member of the Third Class was just the person in charge who was pushed out by many big shots to block the front.

If you can't do this business well, it's not a matter of losing money or not. It won't count if you spend all your savings over the years. Whether you can keep your head on your neck is still a matter of debate.

Jiankang was the center of the entire Southern Dynasties, and for many years in the past, everything in the south was better than that in the north. Even if you are equally wealthy, there are always better places to go and more interesting things to enjoy in the south, so there will always be

Many foreigners came to Jiankang, and some of them even came from the Northern Wei Dynasty, from obscure border areas.

There are always some people who are capable, but their talents are not recognized.

There are also some people who had the opportunity, but they messed up and offended some noble people, so they never had the chance to climb up.

There were these people in every city in the Southern Dynasties, and they were not many. But in the whole world, in many cities, there were quite a few such people.

It is the skill of a businessman to find what is suitable and usable among them.

…

"It should snow in a few days."

A foreigner was sitting in a noodle shop in Jiankang City, looking at the roof tiles in the streets and the sky outside with some emotion, and couldn't help but say.

There were six or seven diners besides him in this noodle shop, but no one answered his words.

Listening to the foreigner's accent, the two waiters in the noodle shop had no interest in trying to please him.

The accent of this foreigner seems to be from Xinhui County.

The accent in the Huijun area is very unique. It seems that every word has a final sound like "ge" or "gang" in its pronunciation.

People in the Southern Dynasties call themselves southerners, but people in the Jiankang area always like to call people from the southernmost border counties Southerners.

In their opinion, these people are good at doing business, but they are all good at doing small business. When they come to Jiankang, they are just like ants poaching, and they are constantly stealing the money they should have earned.

The most hateful thing is that even for expenses, these people in the far south always like to spend the money they earn back instead of staying in Jiankang.

Of course the people in the far south who can make money are hateful, but those who can't make money are naturally more despised by them.

Many people in Jiankang City like to eat noodles in the morning. Even many wealthy people like to go to noodle shops to eat noodles. They even have to add a few extra toppings and drink some wine when they are in a good mood.

But if you go to a noodle shop to eat noodles after the morning noodle time and when it’s close to noon, you’re falling behind.

For the people in Jiankang City, a bowl of noodles at this time is no longer a pleasure, but only serves the function of filling their stomachs.

If you only order a bowl of clear soup noodles and eat some pickles, then in the eyes of the diners and waiters at these noodle shops, you will naturally be the kind of useless person who has not saved much money at the end of the year.

The clothes on this foreigner's body were shabby and thin, which made him look uncomfortable in such a cold weather. Moreover, in addition to the obvious southern accent, this man's accent was also mixed with Jiankang's accent.

Accent, in their view, this is really a rough person trying to be elegant.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to understand the mood of this foreigner at this time.

The reason why he has an accent from Xinhui County is not because he is from Xinhui County. In fact, he has been growing up in Jiankang since he was a child. It’s just that he has been away from Jiankang for a long time and has been in Xinhui County for a long time.

His accent is different from both sides.

He was a practitioner of Taoism in the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, he had a dispute with an official and killed the official before fleeing. In the new dynasty, he originally thought he could return to Jiankang and start a new life.

, however, among the many Taoist training places that Xiao Yan abolished, there was his disciple.

Many of his fellow disciples died in that turmoil, and many of those who were alive, like him, became anonymous wanderers on the run.

The southernmost border counties are very warm.

It has been at least ten years since he saw frost on the roof tiles that did not even melt after sunrise, let alone snow.

Those thick snowflakes, as white as salt, have become something deeply buried in his memory, just like his past in this city.

At this moment, he was feeling the approaching snow and eating the clear noodle soup with the taste in his memory. However, things in the streets and alleys around him had changed, and the people in his memory were no longer there. How could he

No emotion.
