Global Update [Quick Transmigration]

Even if he is an emperor, he also pays attention to methods in recruiting talents.

But just before Emperor Liang came up with a specific countermeasure, a major event happened in Liujia Village.

The cause was the book given to Liu Qi by the old village head.These two children sneaked up to look for Qiao Jing every night behind the backs of the adults at home, and they were lucky to never be found.But Emperor Liang lived next door to Qiao Jing and the others, so it was naturally impossible not to find out, and Emperor Liang himself was a good-natured person to join in the fun, so he happily brought the queen and son over here.

He also tried a barbecue himself, especially the small whirlwind cumin potato chips; the queen's taste is light, and like Qiao Jing, she sat next to each other with a bowl of hawthorn ice powder, and asked the two about it. The child's daily life; while His Royal Highness was shocked by Jing Xinglan's improved Orleans chicken wings, and his mouth has not stopped since he sat down.

Although Liu Xiaoya didn't know the identity of her husband's new neighbor, the queen's demeanor and conversation made her feel that this lady was like a fairy sister who fell from the sky. It's the same as coming out of the painting.

Under the influence of the queen, Liu Xiaoya, who is usually carefree, subconsciously restrained her movements a lot. Although her face was oily from eating barbecue, she still tried her best to straighten her back and let herself sit up straighter some.

Naturally, it is impossible for her small actions to hide from the careful queen.

But for Liu Xiaoya's childish imitation, the queen didn't hate it, on the contrary she couldn't help laughing, thinking that this girl was very innocent and cute, and her tone of voice was a little more sincerely concerned.

After briefly inquiring about the situation at home, the queen asked again: "What kind of books do you usually read?"

This is a very simple question, and the queen just asked it casually. Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, both Liu Xiaoya and Liu Qi were stunned. .

The queen frowned slightly: "What's the matter, why didn't you speak?"

Liu Qi wondered: "Madam, I...we..."

He quickly glanced at Qiao Jing who was sitting next to the queen, and didn't know how to explain it better.

Their conversation attracted the attention of several people in the courtyard. Qiao Jing put down the porcelain bowl containing the ice powder in her hand, and described the current situation of the village school in a few words. Of course, many causes and consequences were omitted in the middle.

But Emperor Liang still looked displeased, and asked: "In a place I don't know, the folk customs have become like this? Today's young people don't even have the most basic "Four Books" and "Five Classics" Have you read it?"

"Don't talk about the Four Books and Five Classics," Jing Xinglan sighed, "More than half of the villagers in Liujia Village can't even write their own names."

This fact made Emperor Liang and the Empress look in disbelief. Even the little chubby prince who was about to reach for the last grilled chicken wing paused for a moment and turned to look at Liu Xiaoya and Liu Qi who were sitting there. .

If someone from the imperial palace was here, he would have been scared by Emperor Liang's face and dared not speak out, but Liu Qi, a silly boy, seemed not to feel the tense atmosphere at all. He took out the book given to him by the old village head, and asked Qiao Jing with his usual expression, "Sir, have you read this book?"

As soon as the voice fell, the dignified atmosphere in the courtyard dissipated instantly.

Under the teasing gazes of the surrounding people, Qiao Jing bit the bullet and said, "...I've seen it."

"Really?" Liu Qi suddenly showed a pleasant expression, "The village chief said that this book is selling well in the city. I just read the beginning, and I feel that the protagonist's experience is very similar to yours, sir. I didn't expect you to have seen it!"

Next, he was like all the crazy Amway Party members in the world who were excited after seeing a good work. In front of everyone, he began to praise how well this book was written. How powerful it is, it is said that he is the reincarnation of the Wenqu star in the sky, he can recite poems at the age of three, kill white snakes at the age of five, know astronomy at the age of eight, and geography at the bottom. After more than ten years of trials and tribulations, he did not change his original intention. In the end, the hardships were rewarded and he met the love of his life.

Liu Qi clenched his fists hard, and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Mei, you are simply a role model for my generation of scholars!"

Qiao Jing: "..."

Hearing these outrageous plots, he couldn't help showing a dazed expression on his face.

No, who are you talking about?

"Wait a minute," Emperor Liang asked him while holding his forehead and smiling lowly, "Are you sure, you are really talking about Mei Qingyun? The Mei Qingyun in "Rebirth: The First Prime Minister of Liang?"

Liu Qi: "Yes."

Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Show me that book."

Liu Qi didn't understand why he asked such a question, but obediently passed the book over.

Emperor Liang just flipped over and sneered.

"The government only dealt with a plagiarism case a few days ago," he said with cold eyes, staring at the book that had been changed and had almost no resemblance to the original except for the title and names, feeling the anger that had been extinguished just now He jumped up, "In order to make money, these traders dare to exploit any cracks, and they even came up with such opportunistic ways to evade the law. They really look at people as fools!"

He directly tore the book in half, and threw it into the charcoal fire next to him with a cold expression.

Liu Qi screamed and wanted to rush over to save his book, but he could only watch helplessly as the pages of the book were engulfed by flames in just a few breaths. He was so anxious and angry that his eyes were red.

"Man, why are you crying!" Emperor Liang shouted coldly, "Do you know that the original version of the book you read was written by your husband? As his student, even if you don't know it, it's not a crime, but you still openly read it. Telling this matter in front of my mentor is simply ridiculous!"

Liu Qi was frightened back into tears when he yelled like that.He stood blankly in the yard, looking at Qiao Jing with some helplessness: "First, sir, I'm sorry, I really don't know..."

In front of Emperor Liang, of course, Qiao Jing couldn't say it and let it go. He chose to change the subject: "You said earlier that this book was bought by the village chief Shiwuwen?"

"Correct."

"Mirror Bookstore is priced at ten cents a book." Jing Xinglan, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.

His eyes were gloomy, and his expression didn't look any better than Emperor Liang's, but Emperor Liang was thinking of the chaos of private business, while Jing Xinglan was simply angry about this matter.

As the real boss behind the mirror bookstore, Jing Xinglan said indifferently: "Emperor...brother, forgive me, it's because my behavior in the city has been too low-key recently, I'm afraid it gave those booksellers the illusion that they can do whatever they want."

"I don't blame you for this," Emperor Liang waved his hand and said, "Daliang has always encouraged the people to do business. Someone mentioned before that the punishment for speculative behavior of businessmen is too light, causing many people to repent and even know how to break the law. After so many years , it’s time for a change.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the empress, who knew Emperor Liang best, immediately understood that His Majesty planned to use this as an excuse to severely punish those wealthy businessmen who crossed the line.

Because he pretended to be troubled in his heart, Emperor Liang failed to stay in Liujia Village for ten days after all, and the ministers in the court had been urging him to return to the court as soon as possible. Regarding the matter of recruiting Qiao Jing, he could only regret it for the time being. shelved.

However, during the short four or five days of living in Liujia Village, Emperor Liang still felt a joy that was completely different from being an emperor.

At first, the two of him and the queen didn't even know how to boil water on the stove, so they had to go to the next door to ask Jing Xinglan for help. , and by the way, he also cured Emperor Liang's problems of lack of strength to do anything and lack of appetite for eating. He fell asleep every day when he came home, and the quality of sleep should not be too good.

"It's not easy being a commoner," Emperor Liang said reluctantly when saying goodbye to Liujia Village, "In contrast, the life in the palace is really comfortable, but I also like the feeling of freedom that comes from working at sunrise and resting at sunset, although It's very tiring, but you don't have to worry about it. The peasant food cooked by the imperial brother is even more special, I think it is slightly better than the chef in the palace."

In fact, Emperor Liang was tired from work, so everything he ate tasted delicious. If Jing Xinglan's craftsmanship could surpass that of the royal chef in the palace, it was more than that.

But the Queen nodded in agreement.

She was even more reluctant than Emperor Liang, because this was the first time in her life that she experienced the feeling of being a wife-when she was a queen, Emperor Liang could never give her what she really wanted, that kind of Plain bliss.

The prince next to him also took the initiative: "Father, let's come back next time when we are free!"

A few days ago, he followed Liu Qi and the others up the mountain to pick tea before dawn. Although the tea gardens on the mountain were basically lit up, the remaining fish that slipped through the net made him half-tired, especially when climbing the mountain. He complained endlessly, clamoring to go back to the palace.

But no one around him took him seriously, they all felt that the child was tired and confused and talking nonsense.Only the shadow guards who followed all the way were watching every step of His Royal Highness with trepidation, for fear that this little ancestor would fall down the mountain in one step, that would be a big deal.

And when they came to the tea garden on the mountainside, it happened to usher in the sunrise of that day.

The clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the red sun was rising. The prince, who had never seen such a spectacular scene, was stunned. He subconsciously came up with a song "Will be the top of the mountain, and see all the small mountains", which was sung by Liu Xiaoya who was walking in front She rolled her eyes and said, "Hurry up and do the work for me, what kind of mantra are you reciting!"

The prince was hit on the head by the bamboo basket she threw, and he hissed in pain, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at the two dangling shofar braids behind Liu Xiaoya's head and blushed slightly.

Liu Qi thought he had found someone of the same kind, so he leaned over and asked with bright eyes, "Brother Jing, have you ever read?"

The pseudonym of Emperor Liang's family in Liujia Village was the surname Jing, so the prince always said that his name was Jing Zhi.

Seeing him nodding, Liu Qi became even more excited: "Then what books have you read? Sir, he taught us the Thousand-Character Prose in the school, and he also read the anthology of poems and essays and excerpts of the Four Books and Five Classics by some great poets in the previous dynasty. I didn't have time to finish. Oh, yes, there is also "Book of Changes!"

The prince thought for a while and replied: "Shuowen Jiezi, Wenyuan Yinghua, Five Classics of Justice, Zhaojianlu..."

He said in one breath for twenty years, but he still didn't stop. Liu Qi couldn't take it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, stop, I got it, I got it!"

He looked at the prince enviously, and sighed, "It's great to be able to read so many books. Are you from the city?"

The prince curled his lips: "What's so good, I just read books and write articles every day, I'm so boring."

On the way here, Liu Qi told him the key to picking tea, what is "one bud and one leaf", the prince listened attentively, for fear of missing a word, he was more serious than Emperor Liang himself taught him.

"You two, what are you dawdling about?" Liu Xiaoya turned her head and saw that the two of them were still fishing, she was furious, and she couldn't care less about pretending to be reserved in front of the person she likes. He ran over and scolded the prince with staring eyes, "You told us to take you up the mountain to pick tea, then work hard for me and don't be lazy! No matter how good you are at reading, you can put tea into a basket by reading ?"

The prince said honestly, "I can't."

"Then stop chatting and work!" Liu Xiaoya raised her chin and said.

She was filled with a kind of vitality that the crown prince had never seen before. Although Liu Xiaoya's appearance was not very beautiful, her pair of bright eyes crashed into his heart like a deer. of.

After she walked away, Liu Qi lowered his voice and said, "Are you okay? Liu Xiaoya's character is wild, don't worry about it, she's not angry with you."

"Not angry," the prince murmured, looking at her back, "I just like wild ones."

Liu Qi:? ? ?

This also led to the fact that although the prince lay on the bed with sore body aches all day and night when he came back from the mountain picking tea that day, on the carriage back to the palace, he still firmly hoped to come again next time.

The queen could tell something was wrong with her son at a glance. She knew her son well, and she also liked Liu Xiaoya, a lively girl.

But she knew they weren't right.

Wildflowers in the mountains are not suitable for planting in precious flower pots. Their most beautiful place is in the land where they bloom.

"After you go back, I will ask the Taifu to give you extra lessons." She half-closed her eyes, folded her hands gracefully on her knees, and shattered her son's fantasy with a single sentence, "Your Majesty, you Say it?"

Emperor Liang looked at his son's despairing gaze, nodded his head very dispassionately and said, "Your mother is right."

The next time he comes to Liu's Village, he should come secretly with the queen and the queen, it's too much of a hindrance to have a brat around.

Jing Xinglan: Coincidentally, I thought so too.

Finally, the three Buddhas were sent away, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But this does not mean that they will be able to relax in the future. In fact, there is another more important matter waiting for Qiao Jing and the others to solve——

Jingshufang sued all the pirated booksellers in Daliang City to the government.
