Chapter 580: The Mountain Temple’s Peach Blossoms Begin to Bloom(1/2)
Wenweng Academy.
Jiuqu Pavilion.
Mei Fangxi was in the pavilion reading "Five Characters on the People" which he wrote silently.
The more he looked, the more panicked he felt.
Li Chenan's remarks about the people...if they were made public, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar.
Even if most of the current officials were appointed by him, I am afraid that these officials would not be able to accept his five points.
Even if it is warm boiling rain...
Wen Boyu actually read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.
Even if he could accept it in his heart, he would never put his remarks into practice.
It’s not because of his vested interests, but because these remarks may shake the foundation of Ningguo!
The people can follow it, but they cannot know it!
If hundreds of millions of people have their own ideas, will it really be like a hundred flowers blooming as Li Chenan said?
No one dares to gamble.
Because it is more likely to cause domestic turmoil.
Now, the Ning State is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized, and is surrounded by great powers. At this time, there must be no internal turmoil.
so……
Mei Fangxi put the booklet in her arms, looked at the lotus pond, and sighed:
"It really is a long road!"
"Why are you sighing like this so early in the morning?"
A voice came.
Mei Fangxi turned around and saw that the person who came was the normal old master from Wenweng Academy.
He grinned: "It's just a reflection. Please sit down!"
Master Chang sat down and said, "You have gone to see the regent. In your opinion...what do you think?"
Mei Fangxi poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "One of the best among men!"
Master Chang was surprised, "His poems and articles are indeed worthy of the name of Poet Immortal... Is it true that governing a country is like a dragon or a phoenix among men?"
Mei Fangxi thought for a while and nodded.
"Although the five-year national policy he set before leaving Kyoto was to focus on industry and commerce, I was a little confused when I first heard about it, but I gradually figured it out later."
This is not true.
The fact is that after Hua Manting came, in order to persuade Mei Fangxi, he explained to Mei Fangxi in detail the purpose of Li Chenan's move, and then he solved Mei Fangxi's doubts.
But Hua Manting had warned him not to tell anyone that he had been here.
"The starting point is to bring more income to the people through the development of industry and commerce. The ultimate intention is to transition from agricultural tax to commercial tax over the past thousand years..."
Mei Fangxi spent a whole hour explaining to Master Chang the key points of Li Chenan's governance.
Old Master Chang had been listening very carefully, and the doubts between his brows became more and more serious. Until Mei Fangxi finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, but shook his head:
"inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?"
"If businessmen become the mainstream of the country, if making money becomes what the people are looking for...will this country still be a normal country?"
"I'm afraid it will be harder to hear the sound of reading!"
"On the contrary, the smell of copper may be everywhere!"
"Farmers will not farm, soldiers will not be soldiers, putting the cart before the horse...I am afraid that I will become the laughing stock of the world!"
Mei Fangxi did not explain further.
As Hua Manting said, in this new policy, those who share the same vision will work together, and those with different views will let them see the final results five years later.
Mei Fangxi smiled slightly and was about to say something else, but unexpectedly an old concierge came over.
"Hello, madams!"
The old porter bowed and said, "There are rumors that the regent has gone to Xishan."
Mei Fangxi was shocked. Li Chenan went to Xishan?
Doesn't this mean He Xishan is back?
When He Xishan returned to Xishan, the eldest son of the emperor must also have arrived at Xishan.
The meaning of Huamanting is to keep an eye on Li Chenan's movements at all times.
Then now it’s time to pick up your sword and go to the Western Mountain to kill the peach blossoms on that mountain!
"Oh, I got it."
The old concierge bowed and left, and Mei Fangxi also stood up.
"Old Master Chang, I still have something to do."
"As for the regent's new policies, we should adopt the attitude of teaching and educating people, and be tolerant to see the consequences."
"Well, I'll take my leave too!"
"Goodbye!"
Mei Fangxi returned to his room, took off the sharpened sword from the wall and hung it on his waist. He took out a package from the cabinet and slung it over his shoulder.
After thinking about it, he picked up another jar of painted spring flowers and walked out, leaving Wenweng Academy and heading towards the West Mountain.
…
…
Yuelai Inn.
Xia Hua put down the pen in her hand and looked at the song "Linjiang Fairy, Behind the Dream, the Tower is Highly Locked" on the paper, with some joy and some sadness on her face.
I am delighted by the sophistication of this word.
Sadness and the ending of Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui.
This is a very strange contradiction.
On the one hand, Xia Hua knew about the deep relationship between Li Chenan and Zhong Li Ruoshui, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
It was as if there was a voice in her head telling her that for a young man like Li Chenan with peerless talent, only she, Xia Hua, was worthy of being his wife.
She was jealous of Zhongli Ruoshui.
She was unhappy with that Miss Xiao.
But after learning that Zhongli Ruoshui was suffering from an incurable disease, and after learning that Li Chenan gave up the throne of Ningguo just to cure Zhongli Ruoshui, she felt that the love story between them was the most perfect despite its twists and turns.
Why are the snow lotuses on Tianshan Mountain so holy and beautiful?
It is because it grows in the most difficult and bitter cold.
It is precisely because it has withstood the raging winds and the devastation of heavy snow that it blooms in the barren land above the snow-capped mountains and the stunning flowers bloom all over the world.
In Xia Hua's view, smooth sailing love is just a story after all.
No sparks can be produced.
Nor can I withstand the splash of water in life.
Even if they are still together, they will eventually end up like bedfellows and different dreams.
The love she hoped for was not like this.
But as performed by Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui.
This kind of love should have good results.
So she didn't want Zhongli Ruoshui to really die.
What about yourself?
Xia Hua raised her head and looked out the window.
The peach blossoms on the peach tree outside the window are already in full bloom.
I am not terminally ill.
But if she is in danger, if Li Chenan comes for her, she will not hesitate even to die. This is the steadfastness of love that she longs for.
Obviously, this young girl in love thought about this matter a little complicatedly.
A girl who can play the piano is not as straightforward as a girl who can herd cows.
Just when Xia Hua was thinking about how to further contact Li Chenan, there was a knock on the door outside.
To be continued...
