The residence of the brother and sister seemed to be very close to the fireworks house where Li Zuoqing was going, and the group walked together for a while unintentionally.

When Wen Mingran and the little girl were together, they always had something to talk about. They not only chatted about some parents' gossip, but also hummed happily along the way. She seemed to have turned back into a child, but she also had the feeling of an older sister taking care of her younger sister.

Li Zuoqing has never seen such Wen Mingran, she looks more free and relaxed than at any time in the Princess Mansion.

So she remembered what Wen Mingran had told her about her family life in the Princess Mansion, about her family in Yaozhou.

Or Wen Mingran also has a younger sister. Although she says she has no intention of going back, she probably misses her family very much in her heart.

Li Zuoqing silently decided in her heart that if the follow-up plot develops to the point that even leaving Wen Mingran has no effect, she will be given another choice to leave the house.

After they walked for a while, the farther they were from the official mansion, the more people begging with broken bowls in the corners of the streets.

From the elderly to the children, all of them are dressed in rags and look pitiful.

They regarded Li Zuoqing and his party as people from the Lizhou government, and stopped the roadside with bowls in their hands.

"I beg all the officials to give me some food, the two children in the family are almost fainting from hunger..."

"Yeah, what about the grain we harvested a few days ago..."

"Go away!!"

The four guards from Lizhou immediately stepped forward and dispersed the beggars with half a dozen and half roars.

"Don't be so rude." Li Zuoqing stepped forward in displeasure, and pressed one of the guards who wanted to drive the old man away with a stick.

"Yes, this subordinate has neglected his duties." The guard stepped aside to get out of the way.

Although the stick did not go down, those beggars were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They retreated to the corner and did not dare to speak anymore. They even looked at Li Zuoqing with the same fear in their eyes.

She really couldn't bear it in her heart. Could it be that the people in this town are so hard to live?

But in the magistrate's mansion in the morning, the extravagant life she saw could not see the suffering behind these people at all.

But Li Zuoqing took a step forward, even if she didn't say anything, those beggars shrank back in fear, reminding her of the closed doors and windows when they were in the center of the city just now.

"I heard that Lizhou was relatively rich in the past." Xin Fei told her in a low voice.

"Could it be that this year's harvest is not good?" In ancient times, eating depended on the face of God. If the weather is good, then there will be a bumper harvest that year, but if there are any natural disasters and insect disasters, it is not uncommon to cause famine.

But if the harvest is not good, there should be granaries in the town for supplies.

Li Zuoqing was puzzled, but she didn't know Lizhou well, and she was surrounded by four prefect's eyeliners, so she didn't want to speculate.

"Your Excellency is someone from other places." The elder brother who was traveling with them said, "Our harvest here is just not good this year."

"Oh? Didn't you stockpile food in the past few years?" Li Zuoqing asked.

"Part of the food in the village has already been distributed!" Yiwai Wei replied, "The county magistrate is preparing to distribute the next batch of food."

Hearing this, the elder brother sneered and stopped talking.

And when my brother said that Li Zuoqing and the others came to Lizhou from other places, the younger sister who had been holding Wen Mingran by his side asked curiously, "Sister Wen, what are you doing in Lizhou?"

The little girl already trusted Wen Mingran very much. Wen Mingran took a look at Li Zuoqing. The other party didn't ask her to hide her purpose, so she said bluntly: "Does Ke Ke know the most famous fireworks village in Lizhou? We are here, is it?" I have something important to ask the owner~"

"Huh?" The little girl's voice was immature, and she turned to look at her brother in surprise, "Isn't that..."

But before Tian Miaoke finished speaking, she was interrupted by her elder brother.

Tian Ruiming calmly pulled his sister back to his side. He had already seen that this group of people was of extraordinary status. If his sister hadn't suddenly gone to buy flowers just now, he didn't want to get involved with these people.

Lizhou City is not peaceful now, and if there is one less thing, there is one less thing. All he can do is to be good to himself.

The eldest brother turned his head and looked at Li Zuoqing with a somewhat wary expression, obviously he regarded the only Tiangan in the team as the leader.

"What do you want to do with the owner of the Fireworks Manor?"

Seeing his reaction, Li Zuoqing guessed that he knew the owner of the village, and her attitude was a little more humble. She explained: "I heard that the owner of the village is a famous craftsman who makes fireworks, and the family has passed down the craftsmanship of firecrackers for generations. Use a lot of money to ask him to help develop a kind of fireworks."

However, the man seemed to have no interest in this matter at all, and stopped talking impatiently: "If this is the case, please go back."

"Why?" Li Zuoqing was inexplicably rejected. Why could this person speak for the owner of the Fireworks Village, unless he was the owner himself, or had a close relationship with the owner and could decide one or two.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man, still smiling and said: "I believe I can afford whatever the owner asks."

The other party didn't speak. He turned his head and glanced at Lizhou Marquis who was not far away, and his complexion suddenly became complicated.

Li Zuoqing also noticed his gaze, this man seemed to be very wary of the guards, and seemed unable to speak.

The brother and sister did not reveal any other information to Li Zuoqing, but when they passed the Liquan Stone Bridge and the Fireworks Village in the south of the town was in sight, the brother and sister stopped in front of Li Zuoqing.

"...No matter how many times I say it, it's the same, everyone, please go back, otherwise it will be a waste of time to go."

"Are you the owner of Fireworks Village, Tian Ruiming?" Seeing the man's attitude, Li Zuoqing became more and more sure of his inner thoughts, and asked him calmly.

"Yes." Knowing that the polite refusal was useless, Tian recognized her identity, but her attitude was still firm.

At that moment, Li Zuoqing was momentarily stunned by the surprise and joy brought by the coincidence, and she immediately stepped forward to invite and said, "The owner, don't rush to refuse, as I said, if you can create fireworks that satisfy me, I have Be sure to pay whatever you get paid."

She thought, the ordinary people in these villages and towns dare to think and speak, but they are nothing more than gold, silver, treasures, officials and beauties.

Li Zuoqing originally planned that if Tian Shi was really talented, he would be given the reward he deserved.

But if this human life is higher than the sky, it is easy to handle if he says that he wants to be the emperor.The disrespect to the emperor is enough for Li Zuoqing to blackmail him into doing things.

No matter how big or small the price he asked was, as long as he said it, there was a way to trick him.

"Thank you for your attention, but I don't want any reward." Tian Ruiming raised his hand respectfully to Li Zuoqing.

"That?"

Tian Ruiming said: "It's just that Lizhou, my hometown, is approaching winter, but people's livelihood is dying. The elders and elders in my hometown are living in dire straits, and fireworks are a beautiful thing to celebrate the completion of the year. Under such circumstances, even if I can be alone, I also feel uneasy, and I don’t want to make fireworks anymore.”

Li Zuoqing couldn't help being surprised when he heard his remarks about people's livelihood.

I didn't expect such a little-known little character in the book to have such family and country feelings. He is indeed a rare and loyal citizen.

But according to Tian Ruiming's statement, wouldn't it mean that if the famine in Lizhou was not resolved, he would not work?

Li Zuoqing can't wait for such a long time.

And it's just a famine, if it were put on an ordinary person, it would be a matter of the sky falling, but who is Li Zuoqing?Be the most beloved Princess Tiangan on the pilgrimage, and the future successor of the Xinwu Dynasty.

I don't know if daring to gamble is the self-confidence of a time traveler, but Li Zuoqing is not vain in his heart.

She replied casually: "I already know what Mr. Tian thinks, and I will visit again."

Tian Ruiming's expression was indescribable. He couldn't guess whether this strange person was saying goodbye politely or really had a solution.

But that afternoon, this group of strange outsiders did not bother him.

The next morning, there were knocking and knocking sounds next to Tian's Fireworks Manor, and the courtyard next to his house should have been vacant for a long time, no one lived there.

Tian Ruiming had no choice but to open the door to check the situation, but as soon as the door was opened, he saw a familiar face from yesterday directing the servants to move diagonally across from his fireworks house.

Li Zuoqing waved to him: "Morning, Brother Tian, ​​what a fate!"

"Why are you here?" Tian Ruiming asked in surprise, not only Li Zuoqing, but also the two Dikun and several attendants who followed her yesterday.

"Oh, because I have already bought this small courtyard." Li Zuoqing pointed lightly at the uninhabited mansion next to Yanhuazhuang, and looked back at him with a smile, "We will be neighbors from now on, brother Tian !"

Tian Ruiming: "..."

He decided to close the door and ignore this rich weirdo, but his younger sister Tian Miaoke squeezed out curiously to watch the fun, and was caught by Wen Mingran who hooked Ke Ke to death.

"Ke Ke, good morning!" Wen Mingran knelt down and greeted the little girl cordially.

"Sister Wen!" Tian Miaoke looked at her with bright eyes, "We meet again."

"Well, after we separated from Ke Ke yesterday, Sister Wen missed Ke Ke very much." Wen Mingran was also happy to see the little girl liked her so much, but right now, she knew what Li Zuoqing was anxious about, so she touched her Touching Tian Miaoke's head, he asked, "Can Ke Ke invite my sister to your house to play? My sister hasn't fully taught Ke Ke the square number game I talked about yesterday."

"Okay!" Tian Miaoke was very interested in the game she proposed, so he took Wen Mingran's hand and walked towards the gate of Fireworks Village like a good friend.

The child couldn't understand her elder brother's helpless face, and happily told her elder brother to keep Wen Mingran to play in the village for a while.

"..." Tian Ruiming expected nothing else, but his own sister's request was hard to refuse.

In addition, every household in Lizhou has been struggling recently, and it has been a long time since a child of the same age has played with Tian Miaoke. It may be a long time since I saw my sister so happy.

He put in a Wen Mingran, but Li Zuoqing walked over smiling like a fox, with a calm expression as if he thought that Fireworks Village was his back garden.

Tian Ruiming stopped her mercilessly.

At this time, there was still a waiting guard from Lizhou watching their movements not far away.

Li Zuoqing said in a voice audible to the two of them: "Brother Tian, ​​go in and take a step to talk."

Her tone was serious, and she was not as idle as before. Tian Ruiming was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Li Zuoqing seized the opportunity to go in, and said loudly while concealing: "I will go in to accompany my sister Wen, and I will leave immediately."

She said this to the Marquis of Lizhou who was watching Li Zuoqing from behind. After a day, even a fool could guess that she was being watched.

This Lizhou might be really strange.

The outside affairs are left to Xin Fei, Lan Shuang and Lu Shiwei are watching, she must find a Lizhou native to ask what is going on this time.

The gate of Tian's Fireworks Manor was closed.

The four waiting guards outside the door glanced at each other, as if they were wondering whether to let Li Zuoqing out of their sight at this time, while on the other side, Guard Lu and other followers of the Princess Mansion also watched their movements silently and secretly.
