Chapter 94 Studying and Cultivation of Mind
"Aye, why did you have to bear with me just now! That old thief can hardly walk because he is old. Is there any other way to punish my family?"
On the way back, Zhao Yongguo still couldn't stop retching. Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, his heart felt like a charcoal stove.
Zhao Gui rolled his eyes at his son and snorted coldly: "If you hadn't acted recklessly and been timid when things happened, how could I have come to your door and been humiliated like this? Even if the boy from Dongzhou killed him, what would he do? If you have a plan, you will leave disaster for the future!"
"I, I really wanted to get rid of him quickly, but at that time I felt that his death was too hasty and not enough to vent my anger, and I wanted to force him to ask some questions, so I confessed to capture him alive..."
After Zhao Yongguo heard this, he quickly lowered his head and defended himself: "But I didn't expect that he was so cunning, and I didn't expect that Da Xingtai would actually have the idea. Zhao Guang and others came back to tell me the secret. I myself have also been hiding recently. Regretfully, he should have taken action last year when he and the Duke of Changle conspired to seize water power.
Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, his co-creator Wen Sabao would become so close... But fortunately, he still didn't know who was responsible. "
When Zhao Gui heard this, he whipped his son with a horse whip: "What thoughts did Daxingtai have? You don't even know, but you heard it for sure! If Daxingtai really had thoughts, he would send Duke Zhang Wu to visit the emperor." Teacher? If you don’t know yet, you are smart!
This man dared to trap the minister before he entered the customs. You have the courage to kill people, but you don't have the decisiveness to eliminate troubles. The past has taught you how to listen to it? "
"It's not me, it's Zhao Guang and the others who are cowardly... If I had gone with him, I would not have let him live! Since I have done it once, I will do it again. I will never let him live in this village for a short time." !”
Zhao Yongguo held his head and said bitterly. Thinking of the scene just now, he felt sick again.
"He Ba Po Hu used all his kindness to protect this son. Although he is a dying person, there is nothing to fear, but he is still alive and strong as he wishes. No more plotting in a short period of time. When he relaxes, he will be killed with one blow. Of!"
Needless to say, Zhao Gui hated Li Tai in his heart. Just the words "Rural scum and bandit army guide" make him angry and flustered even now when he thinks about it.
However, in the Battle of Mangshan, he was indeed defeated. Although Daxingtai did not study it in detail, he himself was also vigilant and introspective. Otherwise, just based on Li Tai's letter, he would have wanted to rush straight into several Hui camps and kill him with a stick.
His son sent troops to set up an ambush in the countryside and was about to succeed, but he let the son go. Zhao Gui only found out after the fact, and he had no way to vent his anger.
This visit was also to see how deep the relationship between He Basheng and his son was, and whether He Basheng would risk his life to protect him if he took action again. But seeing that He Basheng treated him like a nephew, Zhao Gui felt that this matter had become a bit tricky, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get started in the short term.
People who are about to die have nothing to worry about, so they have nothing to worry about when they go crazy. Even if they can succeed and die without any evidence, if He Basheng insists that he did it and attacks him, Dugu Xin and others will not stand idly by even if it is just for this last wish.
After pondering for a while, he continued: "Your late master, Erxi, is very friendly. I have been visiting them frequently recently to have a look. If there is anything wrong with their words or deeds, I will write them down first."
"Didn't Aye say that Daxingtai has no thoughts?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yongguo asked curiously.
Zhao Gui subconsciously swung the whip again, but seeing that the boy was frightened and blocked, he suppressed himself and said in a deep voice: "Da Xingtai will not do anything that will harm the old righteousness. This is his generosity and tolerance, but within the rules of the world Those who are involved will not be suspicious and defensive? Amid the turmoil of public opinion, the two sons can be safe, but the shadow of this family will no longer favor Zayu!"
After Zhao Yongguo heard this, he thought about it for a while, and finally understood what his father meant. In the final analysis, the second son of the old master was the real heir of the Heba family. If the situation of these two sons is worrying, even if He Basheng is still alive, he will not exert too much effort elsewhere, and Li Tai will naturally have no protection.
"What's more, this son has been in the village for a short time, but he has established a strong business in the village. The grand master is friendly to him, how can he help him without any envoys? Those two sons are not the kind of righteous people who can endure the food and silk from their own family to the powerful envoys of other families. ?”
Zhao Guiren is an old man. After walking around the countryside for a while, he already had many ideas in his mind to deal with that kid.
He Ba Sheng died not long ago, Gao Zhongmi was alone, and there were some Hui Jun men, Cui Qian and other vain guests. Even if this boy had a weak position in the countryside, he could be easily destroyed as long as he was defeated by strong reinforcements.
After seeing off Zhao Gui and his son, Li Tai returned to the villa. He Basheng, who had just climbed onto the bed and lay down, gave him a bared smile: "Can you relieve your anger?"
Li Tai gave a wry smile and sighed: "After all, it's still fun to kill him directly!"
He Basheng smiled even brighter after hearing this, and after a moment he said seriously: "Today's humiliation is not just to vent your anger, you also saw Zhao Gui's tolerance. Is he younger than you, or weaker than you? ? The world is tricky, and sometimes, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to swallow your breath.
Not to mention Zhao Gui, even... Well, in short, remember that when things are in danger, the most important thing is your breath. But if it is not the difference between life and death, the most tiring thing is the breath. "
When Li Tai heard this, he nodded with deep sympathy. Didn't Zhao Gui in later generations just couldn't hold back his anger and caused disaster to the whole family?
But seeing Zhao Gui and his son today, Li Tai remembered that Zhao Gui should not be underestimated at the moment. At least before Yu Wentai met Gao Shenwu cordially, it would be difficult to kill Zhao Gui's family completely.
The Yuwentai family's daughter had such a scarce resource, and Zhao Gui's family only had two. The eldest son Zhao Yongguo and the second son Zhao Yongren both married daughters of the Yuwentai family. Judging from the in-law relationship alone, it is really a favor to the Western Dynasty. Yuwentai is really good to Zhao Gui who supports Yuan Cong.
Of course, at present, except for the princess of the Yuan family who got married early with a baby bottle, the other daughters of the Yuwentai family are still being raised in undisclosed boudoirs, and there is no large-scale marriage with the North Town military chiefs.
Thinking of this, Li Tai's heart couldn't help but think of the conversation his cousin Cui Qian had with him before, and he began to consider the possibility of cutting off Hu. Although it's a long shot, it's not a crime to think about it.
If he wanted to cut off Hu, he obviously couldn't do it in his current state. Why should he compete with other people's humerus Yuan Cong and powerful military leaders when he was idle in the countryside?
At least he had to go to Dahangtai to work. Yuwentai probably saw that the young man was handsome and energetic, and really couldn't bear to have him visit other houses. One day you get off work late and stay home for a meal. Doesn’t this mean your relationship will start?
Thinking of this, Li Tai sighed again. He was full of ambition, full of intelligence, and worked hard to cultivate the country. But life always forces people to think about eating soft food. The key is that it is quite enjoyable to think about it.
Even if he fails to marry a daughter of the Yuwen family in the end, Li Tai feels that he has to be a sweetheart arsonist, so that Yuwen Tai's daughters will sigh with emotion when they see their husband when they get married: "A guest in a family will have Li Lang early and Li Lang later." Lang, he is handsome and handsome, making people unforgettable. Unexpectedly, there is X Lang in the sky! "
It's okay to be wild in his plans, but he still has to do things step by step, especially the people and things he can influence and control at the moment. This is his true fundamentals.
One day in early April, wealthy households from Zuojin Township gathered in Yuanzhuang again, not to discuss their affairs, but to participate in a small ceremony.
Li Tai had the idea of establishing a rural school before, and he also informed the village members. The villagers responded enthusiastically, especially those whose children were about to become adults, who frequently came to ask when the school would start.
After half a month of preparation, the framework of this rural school was set up. The school buildings in the village were all ready-made, and the teachers were Li Zhusheng and other elders from Buqu, plus several scribes from He Basheng.
When the school started for the first time, Li Tai selected 20 students, mainly children of local tycoons aged above 13 and below 20 years old.
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of the ordinary equal-land households in the countryside, but adults or semi-adults at this age are already considered an important labor force in rural households. Even if Li Taiken educates, it will be difficult for them to leave their labor idle in the school building.
On the first day of school, wealthy locals whose children were enrolled in nearby schools drove their carriages and horses to Shangyuan, and each presented the gift of repair. The students were gathered on the school grounds, each put on a slightly rough linen robe, and stood in line under the increasingly hot early summer sun.
Li Tai sat under the pergola on one side of the school grounds and said to the local tycoons with a smile: "The sages studied, although there is no difference in teaching, the apprentices are still taught in different degrees. Although there are differences in talent, hard work can make up for it. Clumsy. Therefore, when teaching, you must first treat your heart. If your heart is not sincere, everything will be in vain!"
After hearing this, all the village tycoons nodded repeatedly and praised Li Lang's words for the truth. Only heavy corporal punishment can make these village boys learn to be like adults.
Therefore, under the joint PUA of the principal and parents, these students stood in the sun for nearly two hours before they were allowed to disperse and enter the school building.
There were eight characters written on the blackboard in the school building: "Respect the Tao, respect the elders, and be honest and honest." Li Tai walked into the school building again and ordered them to take turns on the stage to express their opinions on this.
The students had been basking in the sun for more than three hours and were already very agitated. Seeing this boy who was no older than them, or even much younger, standing on the stage and giving orders, they were even more resistant and turned a deaf ear to him.
After seeing this, Li Tai was not upset. He turned around and walked out of the school building, waving his hands to indicate to the parents who were already gearing up outside the school building that they could go in and play freely.
Listening to the sound of corporal punishment coming from the school building and the screams of the students, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh. Family education is indeed a vital part of school education!
He was sighing to himself when he looked up and saw a group of people walking towards him. The leader was Su Chuo, an important official in the business.
"Li Langfan's work is refreshing! This is the same as doing business, and the same is true for studying."
Su Chuo pointed at Li Tai from a distance and said with a smile, his admiration was palpable: "To study, you must first heal your heart. If your heart is not sincere, everything will be in vain. This is a good word to wake people up!"
Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward to greet you, looking up and down, but murmuring in his heart, why have you lost weight again?
