Knowing that Zhang Xiaobao had a plan, Li Longji calmed down and led a group of people to the bottom deck of the ship to fish. They had to go to Hangzhou this time. At that time, they would have to compete with Wang Ju in fishing. Who asked Wang Ju to be so knowledgeable about fishing?
They had to practice more so that when they arrived, even if they lost, they wouldn't lose too badly. They asked Zhang Xiaobao for a full set of fishing tackle. They didn't consider the situation of the river and the fish and planned to try one by one.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't have anything else to do for the time being. The inner court was in charge of the family matters, and the court officials were in charge of the matters.
They had already passed the period where they had to do everything by themselves. If Li Longji wasn't with them, they would have an easier time. With Li Longji and the others around, they had to deal with things by themselves.
According to Wang Juan's understanding, when a person became a high-ranking official and reached a certain level of status, they wouldn't care about the details below. Instead, they would try to build good relations with other political forces.
Similarly, according to Zhang Xiaobao, when one had too much money to spend, not only would it not help the development of one's career, but it would also have a negative impact. The most important thing for rich people to do was to eat, drink, and play with other rich people. Then, they would earn money and cheat people.
"To be honest, I dislike people stirring up trouble in Tang, especially using religious means. Tang doesn't need so many sects, and I also don't intend to give them space to develop. I hate propaganda like 'God loves the world' the most."
Zhang Xiaobao was bored and casually picked up a book to read as he spoke to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan smiled. "You dare to say this now, but in the past, would you dare to say this? There will be countless people who will oppose you. The power of religion isn't so easy to get rid of. Otherwise, how can the country recognize their status? Helpless.
The purpose of atheism isn't to make people abandon everything, but to not believe in other sects. Superstition is sometimes a kind of spiritual sustenance. If there is no sustenance, then it is dangerous. Without faith, it is a kind of faith. What do you believe in? If you change to another book, can you still read it? "
When Wang Juan spoke, she saw Zhang Xiaobao reading seriously. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao helplessly put down the book. There was no other way. He had to put it down. It was an elegant book, just like the Xinhua Dictionary. He had already memorized it when he was young. How much leisure time did he have to read the dictionary?
Looking at Er Ya again, Zhang Xiaobao said gloomily, "Tell me, we can't do without reference books. Even if we have reference books, others don't like to read them. Can we think of a way to make others take the initiative to read reference books?"
"Yes, we'll give money to whoever sees it. I believe many people will be very interested and take the initiative." As Wang Juan spoke, she turned around and took out her embroidery brace and slowly embroidered it.
Zhang Xiaobao had nothing to do. When he saw Wang Juan doing embroidery, he felt a headache and said, "Embroidery is too demanding. It's better to learn cross-stitch. It's simple and fast. I see many people like that. A large piece of embroidery can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. Some people even sell it for more.
There are flowers, grass, mountains, and rivers. I have collected a lot. There are about … two warehouses? I think I can sell it. Before I came, I had been thinking about it. "
Wang Juan stopped and looked at Zhang Xiaobao in surprise. She asked, "What do you want that for?"
"I'm selling it. It's a task that I gave to the primary school students. Use it as child labor because I realized that many children have nothing to do after school. They're not like the children in the city. The children in the city are busy. Other than their normal studies, they have to learn more things.
The children in the countryside are very remote. I give them some work to do, and then I buy it back with money. In fact, I don't directly give them money. If I give them money, they will buy toys. I can't make a loss. After they finish embroidering, I find a way to sell it. You don't know, but the things they embroider are very abstract. Some people like this thing. "
Zhang Xiaobao was probably really bored. He talked about the past with a faint smile on his face. When Wang Juan saw him, she felt that he was now a child and not an all-powerful figure.
She asked doubtfully, "Isn't it good to buy toys?"
"It is good, but to be honest, I think they are not qualified to play. Besides their normal studies, they can earn some money to subsidize their family's living expenses. It can also provide equipment for their studies.
So, I changed them into clothes, textbooks, and ballpoint pens. I didn't give them pencils or fountain pens. Pencils are easy to break, fountain pens are always broken, and ballpoint pens are cheap.
Pen refills are a few cents each. Even if the plastic outside is broken, they can still write by wrapping paper or drilling a wooden stick. I also saved a few shoe factories. I bought pig skin and threw it to the shoe factories for them to make leather shoes. They don't have to look good, as long as they are durable.
You also know that our party has been promoting education. In fact, from top to bottom, it is already bad to a certain extent. There are so many people. Even if we develop for another hundred years, the children who should not have textbooks will still not have textbooks. That should be overturned … "
"Let's get down to business. Don't attack people. It's wrong to attack a group of people. If you really overturn it, do you think the children will have a good life?" Wang Juan was most disgusted by Zhang Xiaobao's attacks, so she interrupted him.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "That's not it. I'm just venting. Because I did it, I feel that I have a reason to attack others. Just like Xiaobei, they can stand on the moral high ground to criticize others.
I have contributed, so I think that I am better than others. When they accuse me of fraud, I can accuse them of not doing anything. Of course, they usually don't accuse me. If they want to catch me, I won't accuse them. I will lie to them. Anyway, even if I don't lie, the money will be left by them. "
"Haha." Wang Juan found Zhang Xiaobao's words interesting and couldn't help but laugh. She said, "At least over there, it's not easy to starve to death, right? Unless someone is willing to starve to death, they can always eat. It's better than the current Tang Empire. Can you guarantee that no one in the Tang Empire has ever starved to death? "
"It's fine if you compare yourself, but the speed of the world's information flow is fast. If you compare yourself to others, it's over. The Tang Empire is now much better than other countries. Who dares to find trouble? Not to mention, there really is. The matter of the Jiangnan West Road is not over yet. Until now, I still don't know who is behind it. It's a very smart guy. "
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he found the map and spread it on the table. He pointed at the Jiangnan West Road and said, "Do you know? My favorite TV program is the animal world.
Look at the seasonal migration of the grassland animals. Look at the cows, zebras, and other animals running and running. As they run, they live and die. As soon as the foals are born, they can't keep up with the speed and will definitely die.
When the stallions see the mares being eaten by the lions, they can only show sadness in their eyes. They are afraid. They know how powerful the lions are, but they never take the initiative to attack. I've been anxious for them more than once. I want to tell them that when thousands of horses are running, all lions and tigers will fall for me.
After seeing so many of them, I know the helplessness of life. I'm also glad that I'm a human, and a person who won't stand by and watch. When a group of people run away from a lion, they deserve to die. It's like people who are forcibly demolished and poured gasoline on themselves. They … "
"Xiao Bao, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. What are you going to do? Go back and encourage others to rebel? "Wang Juan interrupted Zhang Xiaobao again.
Zhang Xiaobao raised his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment. He said, "No, how can I go back? I don't even know how I came here. Of course, I definitely don't believe that God sent me here. Unless God is cheap, otherwise, if I belittle them, how can they help me?
Just like what you asked just now, do I dare to talk about other religions at that time? Why wouldn't I dare? Not only do I dare, but I also opened a dance hall next to their church. It's very old, very Broadway style, very lively. What can they do to me?
In the face of power, force, and money, all dignity is nonsense. Have you forgotten how the people in the Arabian region were bullied a long time ago? I killed cows in front of Indians and ate pork in front of Islam. What can they do to me? "
"You are always attacking the beliefs of others. Think about it, if others attack you, how would you feel? You still have to respect what should be respected. Just like what you said just now, people should be united. "
Wang Juan advised. In fact, she was very clear that many religions had various requirements later on for the convenience of life. They were not like that at the beginning. They could not drink wine because it consumed food. They could not eat pigs because it was also a waste of food. Another reason was that it was unhygienic to raise and eat pigs.
Cows were naturally labor. Not only in India, but now, they could not be killed casually. The emergence of religions was a need for the survival of social groups. There was no need to elevate them to a high position. It was just that there were too many people and it was not easy to kill them.
Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips indifferently. "Attacking my beliefs? That's good. I believe in the law of the jungle. Attacking me is a part of my beliefs. Even if they don't attack me, I will take the initiative to attack others. When have you ever seen a crocodile talk reason with a deer and respect the deer's beliefs?"
"Alright, you're Crocodile. Let me see if you're crying because you've eaten too much salt. I know what you mean. You've said so much because you want me to kill people with you. Everyone involved this time, no matter how old or young they are, kill them all. Since their religion wants to rise, then they'll have to suffer all kinds of hardships during the rise. Death is also a kind of new life."
Wang Juan finally understood why Zhang Xiaobao was not in a good mood. Zhang Xiaobao was angry. He did not want to kill all of them, and he could not do it. But if he did not kill them, others would see the opportunity. So, he was looking for a reason to kill them.
Thinking about this, Wang Juan suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaobao was kinder than her. When some kind of disaster happened in their place, the first thing that came to their mind was not how many people died or how many people were homeless, but whether they could keep their position and whether there was a chance to push the blame to others.
Zhang Xiaobao, the first thing that came to his mind was, what about the children? Were there any schools that were affected? This was because he was not worried about losing anything. He was concerned about his children, while the officials were concerned about their positions.
Just like Yan Zheng, Zhang Xiaobao let his family go in the end because it was a crime that could kill his entire family.
Zhang Xiaobao was silent for a while and sighed, "Let's talk about it later. Fishing, let's go. You accompany me to fish. It won't delay your embroidery. You have been embroidering for a few days. What are you embroidering?"
"A baby's dudou. Embroider a few more. When our new siblings are born, let them wear them. Let's go. When the time comes, you will probably have to compete with your grandfather in fishing. The odds of winning are not high."
Wang Juan took the pole and walked out first. Zhang Xiaobao followed behind, "Him? Don't think that inventing a fishing tool is so awesome. I used to fish for sharks. "
"I know. You also used a fishing pole to fish for whales. I will help you blow."
"I really used to fish for sharks."
"I know. You used a fishing pole."
"A fishing pole can't do it."
"You can."
*****
"Xiao Bei, look. This small and thin bamboo pole can't catch big fish. It can only catch small ones." In a pavilion built on the outskirts of West Lake, Wang Ju was fishing with Xiao Bei and the others.
He had quite a few children at home, but he couldn't find anyone as smart and quick-witted as Xiao Bei. So when Xiao Bei and the others arrived, he temporarily ignored the other children and focused on playing with Xiao Bei and the others.
The dam here had already been built according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's design. It was actually the original Su Dike. That person hadn't come out yet. The two of them first made the dike and named it the 'Hanhai Dike.' This way, they wouldn't be afraid that someone would come looking for them.
The weeping willows on the dike sprouted earlier than the ones in the north. When the wind blew, the willows rustled. The scenery was good, but it wasn't very attractive to Xiao Bei and the others.
Xiao Bei liked to play, and Xiao Hai had no choice but to accompany him. The other children just casually found a book and read it under the shade of an umbrella. Pan 'er and her brother ran around, always taking pleasure in disturbing others.
At this time, Wang Ju was teaching Xiao Bei about fishing equipment. It was very simple and didn't say too much. He only told Xiao Bei the thickness of the fishing pole. He didn't even mention the hook. He was afraid that if he said too much, Xiao Bei wouldn't remember and would ask a lot of strange questions.
But even so, Xiao Bei still asked.
"Grandfather, if it's a thick bamboo pole, does it mean that you can only catch big fish and not small ones?"
"Uh … If you use a thick fishing pole to catch small fish, you have to use a small hook. That's a waste. It's called using a sledgehammer to crack a nut." Wang Ju took out a thick fishing pole and gestured a few times as he explained to Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei nodded and asked, "If you put a bamboo pole horizontally on a pole, and there are a lot of fishing lines running down it, and there are small hooks at the bottom of each line, wouldn't that be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
"That's not the case. If one of the hooks is bitten, you have to lift the entire pole, right? It's troublesome and troublesome, right? "Wang Ju really didn't think of this problem.
He finally realized that Xiao Bei was different from other children. Although he felt that Xiao Bei's idea wasn't good, he was very happy in his heart.
Xiao Bei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and continued to ask, "Grandfather, why do fish bite the hook?"
"Because there are all kinds of food on the hook. As long as you find the right food that fish like to eat and put it on the hook, the fish will eat it."
Wang Ju thought that this problem was simple, but who knew that Xiao Bei would ask, "If there's a lot of food dangling in front of the fish, won't it be easier for the fish to bite the hook?"
"Naturally," Wang Ju replied.
"Then what I said just now was that if you put a bamboo pole horizontally, wouldn't there be a lot of food? Why didn't I say that? Is the price of the bait expensive? If it didn't cost money, it would be troublesome, but there would be more opportunities to catch fish if I put it down. I can even make a square bamboo raft and then use countless fishing lines to hook it up with a pole.
When the fish see, wow, there's a lot of food here, they will call their friends over. Below, I'll put a net, and when the fish bite the hook, I'll lift the net first and see where the fish will run to, right? "
Xiao Bei used his hands to make a square bamboo raft as he asked Wang Ju.
Wang Ju listened to Xiao Bei's words and looked at Xiao Bei's excited expression with a stunned expression. He had to admit that if he did as Xiao Bei said, the fish would be unlucky. However, fishing wasn't like that.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ju explained to Xiao Bei, "Xiao Bei, do you know why we're fishing?"
"For food. My brother's grilled fish is the best. He always catches for us, and he even catches prawns. Such big prawns, I'll be half full after eating two. When my brother comes, I'll ask him to grill more for you. If it's not enough, I'll give my share to you. But it's best to catch more so that everyone can eat."
Xiao Bei gestured with his hands to show that the prawns were so big. He even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, as if he was recalling the taste of the prawns his brother made for him.
Wang Ju was very touched. He looked at his granddaughter. She was obviously greedy, but she was willing to give up her fish. Unlike other children who only knew how to fight for good food.
However, this wasn't his purpose for fishing. He patted Xiao Bei's head and said with a smile, "Xiao Bei, fishing isn't for food, but for a … a kind of mood. It's to use fishing to allow yourself to be as calm as when you're fishing. Do you understand?"
Wang Ju was afraid that if he spoke too deeply, a child like his granddaughter wouldn't understand, so he tried to explain it in straightforward terms. Even so, he was worried that his granddaughter wouldn't understand.
However, not only did Xiao Bei understand, she also nodded and said, "I understand. It's to fish better than to fish. I understand. My brother and sister said this before, but now that we're using bait, we're at a disadvantage. The truly skilled people use vertical hooks and don't put any bait."
"Ah? Then how do we catch it? Which fish will eat it? "Wang Ju asked with a smile.
"The willing ones will take the bait. It's just like being a human. Many people think that there won't be a fish that's stupid enough to bite a straight hook, but sometimes, people are even more stupid than the fish they think are stupid.
So, when I fish, it's only for the fish, and nothing else. Because I don't want to be an idiot and waste time. I can use this time to read books, find good food to eat, and teach Pan 'er and the others.
If I really don't fish for the fish, then I'll fish for others to see. I'll let others see me fishing. Grandfather, what's wrong with you? Let's just continue fishing. Just treat it as me playing. Playing is also something that must be done. Brother said so. "
As Xiao Bei spoke, she waved her hand in front of Wang Ju's face. She found that her grandfather's eyes were fixed on her.
Wang Ju returned to his senses and suddenly stood up. He looked at Xiao Bei, then looked at Xiao Hai who was crouching on the hook, as well as Xiao Yuan who was reading a book and Pan 'er who was playing around. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked Xiao Bei in a trembling voice,
"You, you guys … normally, normally, your brother and sister teach you this? You like to hear it? Don't you find it annoying? Aiya, you children are so obedient. "
At this moment, Wang Ju could no longer be described as shocked. He was thoroughly frightened. He couldn't understand how Xiao Bei's words came out of her mouth.
That wasn't something that a child should say. For a child of Xiao Bei's age, her words should be filled with fantasy and ignorance. Then, when adults heard it, they would laugh or occasionally say something adults would say and show a proud expression.
He observed the other children and found that they were all very normal. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Bei saying this. This kind of normality was abnormal.
Especially the seven people who were reading books. Many children from wealthy families didn't like to casually pick up books to read. They were more interested in finding something fun to do. What kind of teaching method could make the children take the initiative to find books to read?
After asking a series of questions, Wang Ju stared at Xiao Bei and waited for her to answer. He wanted to understand what was going on.
Xiao Bei was confused by her grandfather's actions and questions. She blinked her large eyes and looked at Wang Ju with a look that said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Bei, tell Grandfather, when your brother and sister teach you, don't you feel annoyed?" Wang Ju crouched down and asked softly.
Xiao Bei shook her head vigorously and replied, "No, Grandfather, don't you think it's very fun? Brother and sister tell us stories, and the people in the stories say that. After they finish, they become powerful, very powerful. "
"Then are you willing to read books?" Wang Ju asked again.
"Yes." Xiao Bei nodded. "If I don't read books, how can I listen to stories? If we learn well, the people in the stories will be powerful. If we don't learn well, the main character will always be bullied, so we can only learn more. Now, the girl who represents me is already level 45, and she has half a body of good equipment. She's not just powerful. She can defeat people of the same level as her. "
Xiao Bei explained the use of reading books to Wang Ju. She meant that it was very powerful.
Wang Ju's mouth was wide open. This was the first time he had heard of such a method of teaching children. He looked at the others. A few of the children also looked over. They all had the same thought.
"Little Yuan, according to this, you're the most powerful one? Is that whatever level high? It's the high representative who's powerful, right? "Wang Ju asked Little Yuan, who was the closest to him.
In his heart, he had already approved of this method of teaching children. The only difficult part was who would make up the stories. Not only did they have to make the children like listening to them, but they also had to include the knowledge they wanted to teach.
Little Yuan sighed, put down the book, and said, "No, my equipment is better, but my level is low. I'm only level 42. I'm five levels lower, and I'm a support-type main character. If I were to fight by myself, I wouldn't even be able to beat a level 40 main character."
"Ah?" Wang Ju's mouth opened again. He didn't understand. Why was it like this? He shook his head and asked in confusion, "Little Yuan, aren't you known for having a photographic memory and reading ten lines at a glance? How can you not compare to Xiao Bei? "
"It's not a photographic memory. It's just that I remember things faster than others, especially words. However, there are also math problems in the story. I don't like to take the initiative to fight, so every time I have to choose, I choose a choice that I think is better. As a result, I slowly become a support-type character."
Little Yuan appeared to be very aggrieved. He couldn't understand why when his brother and sister were telling stories, at a certain point, the protagonist had to choose his actions. After he chose one, the equipment and skills he received would be supplementary.
Xiao Bei testified at the side, "Yes, yes. Little Yuan always regretted his choice and became a support-type main character. However, Little Yuan has a skill that's very powerful. It's a mutual destruction skill.
His brother and sister said that Little Yuan is the kind of person who won't take the initiative to attack unless he's forced to a dead end. However, when it's really necessary, his final blow isn't something that anyone can withstand. "
Wang Ju completely understood this time. The personalities of the characters in the story were basically the same as in reality. Every choice was a test that his grandson, Zhang Xiaobao, and granddaughter-in-law, Wang Juan, gave his younger siblings.
They judged their younger siblings' personalities from their choices. If they were upset because the main character in the story couldn't fight, then they could change their minds the next time they made a choice.
Thinking of this, Wang Ju suddenly had an impulse to immediately meet his grandson and granddaughter-in-law and take a good look at them.
This was because he knew very well that when the two of them told stories to their younger siblings, they weren't just playing with them. Instead, they were teaching their younger siblings knowledge that children of the same age couldn't learn and weren't willing to learn.
At the same time, they were letting their younger siblings experience life in the story. The main character's personality was basically the character of their younger siblings in reality.
Then, if Little Yuan felt that his main character was getting more and more aggrieved as he lived, he would naturally change his choice. However, what changed was not only the choice, but also Little Yuan's own personality.
As for Little Bei, if she liked to fight, there might be a situation where she couldn't fight in the end and needed to give in. Then, she would understand that sometimes, giving in did not mean that she had lost.
This was a principle that a person could only understand in a long life, but it allowed Xiao Bao and Wang Juan to understand it faster in the story.
"No wonder they know so much, and no wonder the children are so much like adults. But why do they not lack the innocence of children?"
Wang Ju murmured. He really couldn't understand. He realized that Little Bei was a group of children. Although they knew a lot, they weren't as deep as adults. They liked to do all the things that children should like to do. Little Bei was also willing to carry a doll, feed it, and change its clothes.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, go fishing. If you really can't catch anything, I'll go down and catch some for you. I'm very good at catching fish. My brother and sister both praise me."
Little Bei's voice rang in Wang Ju's ears.
"Yes, yes, yes. Go fishing. If you can't catch anything, Little Bei will catch it. Little Bei is really good." Wang Ju decided not to think about it. It was just like how he couldn't understand how Zhang Zhong, whom he had looked down on back then, could be so successful now. It was too much of a headache.
Little Bei puffed out her chest and raised her head, looking like she was the best. She picked up the fishing rod and threw it into the water with all her strength. At the same time, she shook the fishing rod and said, "Fish, fish, take the bait. I'm going to make delicious food for Grandfather."
Wang Ju didn't throw the fishing rod. It was a small fishing rod, so there was no need to throw it out. He could just do it lightly. However, his current state was no longer fishing. Even if he forced himself not to think about what Little Bei and the others had learned, he still subconsciously had such thoughts.
As he continued to fish, Wang Ju couldn't find the feeling of fishing. Just as he was about to find something else to play with Little Bei and the others, the figure of a small boat appeared on the surface of West Lake in the distance.
Looking at the situation, the small boat was slowly approaching. Wang Ju looked up and then lowered his head to continue fishing. He knew that the boat couldn't come over.
Other than his own guards and the children's protection team, it was impossible for other boats to come close. Not to mention nearby, even within the range of guns.
Not only were there boats patrolling on the surface of the water, but there were also people hiding in the lotus leaves underwater.
Little Bei also saw the boat. She wasn't focused on fishing at all. Perhaps she wouldn't feel it even if all the bait was eaten by the fish. Looking at the approaching boat, Little Bei said, "After a while, there will be many lotus flowers blooming here. Unfortunately, I don't think I can see it.
I'll stay here for a day today and another day tomorrow. When the fleet is resupplied, I'll go to Jiangzhou. Who dares to go against my business? Humph, I'll go and see who has the guts to do so. "
When Xiao Bei mentioned this, Wang Ju's face was filled with reluctance. This was because he couldn't find a single child in the family who could compare to Xiao Bei and the others. They could sing and dance, and when the nine children were together, they could even form a band. Their knowledge was also incomparable.
He wouldn't get tired of such a child staying by his side all day long. However, if she wanted to go to Jiangzhou, he couldn't stop her. Little Bei listened to her brother and sister and went there.
Furthermore, the Emperor would be coming soon. He had to make preparations. Even if the Emperor didn't need the local government to bear the cost of welcoming and sending him off, he still had to do what he had to do.
Thinking of this, Wang Ju said to Little Bei with concern, "When you're outside, you have to hide well. Don't always stand in front. It's easy to be in danger. It's not good even if you're injured. Go and come back quickly. Kill those who should be killed and capture those who should be captured. When you come back, the lotus flowers of West Lake will bloom."
Little Bei nodded vigorously. "Oh, I understand. The people there are probably not good people. A small portion of them are not good people. When we arrive, I'll hide behind the guards. When we come back, the boat will be following the current. Quick, look at the lotus flowers. What do you say? Xiaoyuan, it's the lotus flower that Sister mentioned."
"After all, during the sixth month of West Lake, the scenery is not the same as during the fourth month. The Heaven-Reaching Lotus Leaf is infinitely green, and the Sun-Reflecting Lotus Flower is exceptionally red. " Xiaoyuan lowered his head and looked at the book. He casually said this out loud with great chemistry. He knew what Xiaobei was asking.
"Good poem. Who wrote it?" Wang Ju first looked at Xiaoyuan with admiration and then praised him.
"I don't know. Sister said it was written by an idler. That person had nothing to do, so he looked at flowers and played. He's probably a painter. Aiya, right. If we really come back early, Sister Xiaozhu can paint according to it. We haven't seen many of the sceneries that Brother and Sister told us.
Little Bei shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Wang Ju said, "Oh," and put the poem on Wang Juan, thinking that it was written by Wang Juan. She said, "When we go back, I'll find someone to write it down, frame it, and hang it on the wall. It's a good poem."
"In my opinion, it should be hung beside West Lake and written in big letters so that everyone can see it. Then, they can advertise it. When others hear the poem, they will think about what the Heaven-Reaching Lotus Leaf looks like and the Sun-Reflecting Lotus Flower.
My family has a tourism business here. The more people come, the more my family earns. Isn't it great to tour West Lake and look at the scenery and eat at the Precious Candy House? "
Little Bei swayed his fishing pole and said casually, as if he wasn't thinking about it deliberately.
Wang Ju nodded. He was gradually getting used to the difference between Little Bei and the others. He just casually said something, and Little Bei immediately talked about earning money. She really didn't disgrace her identity as Xiao Bao's sister.
"Little Bei, after you earn money, what do you do with the money? Except for flowers for the adults. " Wang Ju deliberately asked. He actually knew what Little Bei and the group of children were doing with the money, but he still wanted to hear it.
Little Bei stared at the water and said faintly, "Grandfather, actually, we don't want to do anything with the money. Brother and Sister are already working hard to give benefits to the children of Tang Empire, right? Anyway, it's good for the children now, and good for Tang Empire when the children grow up.
"We earn money because we have nothing to do. Think about it, we are Tang Empire's Patrol Inspectors, and we have to patrol Tang Empire. No matter where we go, we have to spend money. It doesn't matter whose money we spend, so why don't we spend our own?
"In the past, when we were officials in other places, I was a county magistrate. The population there was very small. Think about it, when I made a decision, they followed me to work. In the end, they worked from spring to autumn. Not only did they not earn any benefits, they even lost money.
"That's my own responsibility, and I have to bear it. I take out money and compensate them. If they can earn a hundred copper coins according to my plan, I will give them a hundred copper coins. This way, they will do whatever I ask them to do next time.
"In other words, we want to use the money we earn to bear our own responsibilities. Parents have their own responsibilities, brothers and sisters have their own responsibilities, and children have their own responsibilities. But we are children, and the position we sit in makes us have the responsibility of Patrol Inspectors.
"This is what we thought of. After we discussed it, we want to earn money. Even if our family is already very rich, we don't need to worry about fighting for the family property when we grow up. Eh? Why is that boat still heading here? This is my family's tourist area. If we don't allow it, why would it come here? "
Xiao Bei said something that should only come out of the mouth of an adult. As he spoke, he suddenly pointed ahead. The boat that was still very far away was gradually approaching.
There was already a boat that went over to warn them, but that boat still came over. It was estimated that if it went a little further and didn't stop, they would be attacked.
The range of the warning was still a little bit away from the final limit of the defense, so they weren't immediately attacked.
Wang Ju was still thinking along with Xiao Bei's words. When she heard Xiao Bei mention that boat, she paid attention and said, "Don't worry about them. If that boat really dares to come over, someone will naturally take care of them. Xiao Bei, you guys are already so powerful now. What are you going to do in the future?"
"Powerful? Oh, it's powerful. Our official position is very high. It's the same rank as Maternal Grandfather. Oh, no, it's one rank higher. Other than Uncle Emperor, we're one rank higher.
In the future? We don't know what we're going to do in the future. I'll listen to Elder Brother and Elder Sister. They'll make arrangements for us. When the time comes, we'll do whatever they want us to do. In any case, I know they won't lie to us. "
Xiao Bei didn't seem to care about the future. His eyes were still looking at that boat.
Wang Ju listened to Xiao Bei's words and thought about it. Although Xiao Bei and the others were very independent now, they always had to follow the rules set by the Zhang Family and Wang Family.
When they grew up, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo would definitely find suitable things for them to do according to their personalities. In this aspect, they were much better than other families.
Other families, no matter how powerful they were, would usually make arrangements for their children in advance. Of course, when making arrangements, they usually didn't look at what their children could do, but what they wanted their children to do.
As for Xiaobei and the others, the family would decide what they were suitable for based on their thoughts and abilities. No wonder the Emperor had thrown his two children here. It turned out that …
When Wang Ju thought of this, she was suddenly shocked. Because she suddenly realized that if this continued, the future Emperor's throne wouldn't be the current Crown Prince. Then what would the current Crown Prince do? Would he rebel?
The more she thought about it, the more worried Wang Ju became. The Great Tang's development was many times greater than before, but if a civil war broke out, the situation would change.
"Not good! I have to send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince. Otherwise, the Imperial Palace will be filled with danger. What can be done?" Wang Ju was someone who had helped Li Longji in his rebellion, so when she thought of others, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Little Hai was still looking down at the surface of the water. There seemed to be something more important there that attracted him. As for the ship that was coming over, he just glanced at it and then ignored it. After hearing Wang Ju's words, he finally spoke to his grandfather after being silent for a long time.
"Maternal Grandfather, no one can rebel, and no one believes that a rebellion can succeed. With Elder Brother and Elder Sister here, it's impossible unless someone is tired of living.
In truth, it doesn't matter who becomes Emperor. What matters is who wants to be Emperor and how they plan to be Emperor. If Elder Brother and Elder Sister aren't satisfied, even if they become Emperor, they'll remove them. I'm confident that Elder Brother and Elder Sister can do it. "
After saying this, Xiaohai fell silent and continued to look at the float in front of him.
Wang Ju was already used to the matters of these children, or perhaps he was numb to it. But when he thought about it, he realized that he had suddenly thought of something and was in a bad mood.
Right, no one could rebel. The current Great Tang was very stable, and the people didn't lack food. If they wanted to rebel, they needed someone to support them. The officials in the court wouldn't support them, unlike the current Emperor.
"A fishing rod, a pot of wine, a bright sun, a floating cloud, a clear lake, a bait to attract a fish. Dare I ask, is the Great Tang Patrol Envoy here?"
While Wang Ju was thinking about this matter, the sound of someone chanting came from the water. It was clear that the other party was coming for them, and they clearly had a goal in mind.
Xiaobei blinked and turned to Wang Ju. "Maternal Grandfather, this person's voice is really loud. He's so far away, but we can still hear him. Admirable."
Hearing Xiaobei's words, Wang Ju smiled. The other party shouted like that, but Xiaobei was actually concerned about whether the other party's voice was loud or not. "Xiaobei, he's coming for you. Do you want to meet him?"
"Of course, he's here. Why don't we meet him? Also, Brother and Sister have sent us a message saying that if someone comes voluntarily, we'll take them to Jiangzhou. If they go willingly, then so be it. If they don't want to go, we'll catch them and make them do it willingly."
Xiaobei covered his mouth and laughed as he said to Wang Ju.
Then he shouted at the top of his voice, "I am. What do I do?"
Wang Ju listened to Xiaobei's shout and felt that it was more interesting. At the same time, he admired his grandson very much. He could even calculate this. No wonder people called him Lianhuan. He was really amazing.
At this time, the other party also shouted, "I'm a villager from the mountains. Today, I'm here. I heard that the Great Tang Patrol Envoy is also here, so I'd like to meet you."
"Then come over. Let's search you first." Xiaobei shouted back.
Soon, a person jumped onto the guard's boat and was pulled into the boat. It seemed that they needed to go through a detailed search. The boat was also heading towards the shore.
Xiaobei said to Wang Ju, "Grandfather, I'm sure that person didn't bring anything dangerous with him."
"Why is that?" Wang Ju asked.
"Because he's coming for us. Naturally, he knows that he has to go through a thorough search. If he brings anything, he's courting death. Even if we find a writing brush on him, he can forget about seeing us again. Also, if he has false teeth, we'll pull them out in advance. Hmph, let's see what he says when he comes over.
It's really fun. "Xiaobei said with a smile. Wang Ju patted Xiaobei's head and praised," Our Xiaobei is really smart. "
"Yes." Xiaobei was not modest at all.
The person on the boat did not know that the person he wanted to meet had such an evaluation of him. After waiting for about five minutes, the boat approached. The person was escorted to the bow of the boat by two guards, one on the left and one on the right, and waited to go ashore.
Wang Ju carefully sized up the other party. This person was wearing a gray robe and was relatively thin. His hair was casually tied up on his head with a wooden hairpin. His cheekbones were prominent, and he looked to be in his forties. However, his eyes were very lively. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you? Tell me your name. "
The question was not polite at all, but the person on the other side did not care. He confidently put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "I'm a villager from the mountains. My name is not important. Just call me Mountain Wind."
After saying this, the person who called himself Mountain Wind looked at Xiao Bei and asked, "You are Xiao Bei. Let me ask you, what do you have to be able to become the Patrol Inspector of the Great Tang Empire? How do you patrol the Great Tang? Is it just like playing? "
