Chapter 128 Volume 2 Changmingxuan

The next day, Lintan.

As the administrative seat of Taozhou, Cui Mingyuan's official office is also here.

In the official residence, Cui Mingyuan looked at a table of official documents and sighed.

From his heart, he was unwilling to leave Jingyang.

If he wanted to be promoted, he would have been promoted long ago. The officials had not considered it before, but he rejected them all.

Regardless of his origin, from a purely official perspective, Cui Mingyuan is undoubtedly a qualified official.

This time, the reason why he was willing to leave Jingyang was, firstly, because the situation in Jingyang was indeed much better than in previous years, and secondly, Li Chengqian's original words echoed in his ears from time to time. After reading sages' books all his life, he also wanted to know,

Do some questions have answers?

Third, he was completely disappointed with the gentry.

When Cui Hao and the others had the upper hand, everyone wanted to celebrate, but when they finally faced Li Chengqian's counterattack, how did they react?

To be honest, during that time, he really saw through the faces of these people.

In the end, when the imperial court assigned him to serve as the governor of Taozhou, he did not decline the offer.

Of course, this is also because the transfer place is Taozhou. If it were Chang'an, he might still decline.

Others work thousands of miles to become officials just for money, but that's not the case with him. He really wants to do something and show off what he has learned.

Although Taozhou is not as good as places like Jingyang, for him, it has more room to display his ambitions.

But just when he was about to let go and fight, those noble people came again.

After all, he still belongs to the circle of nobles, and he will never be able to take off this label in his lifetime.

Originally he was prepared to just deal with it casually, but after learning from Jingyang's mistakes, he did not plan to cooperate with these guys again. But these people brought him shocking news!

Li Chengqian is also in Taozhou!

This news shocked him. No wonder, no wonder Niu Jinda was transferred to command the Taozhou Army.

Logically speaking, given Niu Jinda's status, it is not appropriate to be transferred to Taozhou Commandery Army. This is considered a demotion.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be this reason.

"Go and find out if anyone from Chang'an has come to our Taozhou recently." Cui Mingyuan sighed and ordered.

It wasn't that he wanted to inquire about Li Chengqian's whereabouts, but since he appeared in his own land, he wanted to know about it.

Moreover, people from the noble clan also came. Although I don’t know what their intentions are this time, I am also worried that they will cause another conflict.

He really didn't like these trivial things, so he wanted to do something good for the people. Even if it was to make the people under his control have an extra mouthful of hot porridge in winter, it would be more satisfying than getting involved in these things.

On the other side, Taoyuan.

Li Chengqian had just finished breakfast with Changle when Liu San came and said that Chen Ding'an was outside Zhuangzi.

Li Chengqian had no idea what the purpose of Chen Ding'an's visit was, so he immediately came outside Zhuangzi.

Of course, he didn't come out to greet Chen Ding'an. Chen Ding'an didn't have such a big reputation for him to greet him in person. The main reason was that there were Pulu Boqi and others in Zhuangzi, and he didn't want to expose too much in front of these people.

Seeing Li Chengqian come out, Chen Ding'an was also shocked. Of course he knew that he had no face to be welcomed by Li Chengqian in person, so he immediately cupped his hands and was about to speak. Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Come with me for a walk. This Taoyuan is in Chen's house."

It’s not bad under the governance of your lord.”

"Young Master is laughing." A man like Chen Ding'an didn't know what this meant, so he immediately followed Li Chengqian. He had no complaints about this.

Even though this is just an ordinary Zhuangzi, the person who lives in it is the prince of the current dynasty. It is not that simple to step through this door.

"Have you done everything I told you yesterday?" Li Chengqian asked as he walked in front.

Nodding, Chen Ding'an said: "Everything has been dealt with." After saying that, he took out a contract from his sleeve and said, "As long as the master signs it."

After taking the contract and taking a look at it, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction. He was not surprised at all that Chen Ding'an settled the matter so quickly. As the local parent official in Taoyuan, this little thing was no big deal to him.

Difficulty.

After handing the contract to Liu San beside him, Li Chengqian said: "This is a good job."

What he said was the price.

Chen Ding'an is indeed a smart man. He knows that this is what Li Chengqian wants, and he has carefully considered the price.

For someone who usually just flatters others, he would definitely keep the price as low as possible, but Chen Ding'an did not and strictly followed the market price.

Of course, he is not afraid of power but still wants to protect the interests of the businessmen under his rule. To put it bluntly, he is just flattering.

It's just that the methods are more sophisticated than others.

Considering Li Chengqian's status, if he really wants to buy the restaurant at a price lower than the market price, he won't save a lot of money. If someone finds out about it later, although it won't affect his status, there will still be some gossip.

This is no longer necessary.

There is no difference between a thousand guan and a hundred guan for Li Chengqian.

"Young master, you're too polite. It's just a small effort." When Chen Anding heard Li Chengqian's words, he knew that he had guessed correctly and smiled immediately.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Liu San, is Li Dalang's money ready? You can arrange for two people to deliver it to Mr. Chen later."

He originally planned to chat with Li Dalang and others yesterday, but he met Chen Ding'an, so the matter was delayed.

After all, it would be easier for Chen Ding'an to do this than for Li Dalang and others.

"Ready." Liu San said, "I'll make arrangements when I get back."

"There's no need for money." Chen Ding'an said with a smile, "It's not too late to send it to Gongzi Restaurant after it opens."

He is really not in a hurry for this money. If Li Chengqian really doesn't give it, even if he sells his family property, he won't come to Li Chengqian to ask.

"You are not in a hurry, others are." Li Chengqian said, "I have to thank Mr. Chen for this. After the restaurant opens, I will ask them to reserve a private room for Mr. Chen."

"Then thank you so much, sir." Chen Ding'an, a man who knew a lot about troubles, immediately bowed and said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Chen. I have one more thing that I want to trouble Mr. Chen with. Is it convenient for Mr. Chen?"

"Sir, please speak." Chen Ding'an felt happy. This was definitely a good thing for him.

Li Chengqian said: "It's not a troublesome thing. It's just that I need a few teachers here. I don't need any great scholars. I just need to teach some simple reading and writing."

Wang Xuance was going to help him as a lobbyist, so naturally he had to find someone to take over the teaching matter.

Both the children in Zhuangzi and those in Riyue Mountain are in urgent need of teachers.

He wants to train his own team, and these people are his best choice.

Moreover, for Chishuiyuan, the best means of intrusion must be culture.

So, Mr. Teacher, he needs it very much.

"If the young master doesn't have high requirements for talent and learning, this would not be difficult." Chen Ding'an said, "After all, our Taoyuan is a small place after all. It would be really difficult for me to find someone with some talent and learning."

"It's enough to teach people how to read and hyphenate." For this, Li Chengqian really didn't have any requirements.

Teach them the Four Books and Five Classics?

Haha, Li Chengqian has no such plan, don't teach nerds by then, it will not be beautiful.

As long as you can read and write, the rest of the truth can always be understood slowly in life.

Besides, at this stage, where can he find such great Confucianism for them?

Even if there were, who would be willing to go to Chishuiyuan with him and endure the hardship.

"That's okay." Chen Ding'an said with a smile, "My family happens to have a few underachievers. It's not easy to expect them to take the imperial examination for high school, but if you just teach them how to read and write, it won't be a big problem."

How could Chen Ding'an give such an opportunity to others.

If it weren't for his identity, he would be willing to be a teacher.

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian smiled. This was exactly the result he wanted.

He had actually given some thought to Chen Ding'an, but since he was now an official of the imperial court, it was hard for him to do anything directly.

The reason why I made such a request was to see Chen Ding'an's reaction. Unexpectedly, this guy is also a master of climbing along the pole.

"Master Chen still needs to think about it again." Li Chengqian said, "To be honest, these teachers are not staying at Zhuangzi. If I really want to make a decision, I will take them away."

Chen Ding'an was overjoyed when he heard this. Are you going to take him to Chang'an? That's a good thing. He immediately smiled and said: "There is nothing to consider. Master, just take it away."

He was so happy at the moment that he forgot that if Li Chengqian really wanted to return to Chang'an, would he need to find a teacher in Taoyuan?

What?

Are all the scholars in Chang'an dead?

"I still need to think about it. The teachers I want this time are not teaching us Han people. Moreover, this trip may not be without danger." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, Chen Ding'an's expression suddenly changed.

He understands.
