Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

This time, Li Xin slept for a long time, and only slowly got up from the bed when the sun was setting to the west. Run Niang, who had been waiting by the side, quickly handed over a glass of water. Li Xin, who happened to be a little thirsty, took it casually and drank it down.

"How long have I been asleep?" Li Xin asked.

Run Niang replied, "Two hours."

He slept for so long.

Li Xin stretched his waist, only feeling a slight pain in his head. No way, from a medical point of view, if the nap time is too long, it will not achieve the purpose of rest, it will only make the body more tired, but it is really refreshing.

It's cool and it's over.

Li Xin changed his clothes and took Run Niang back to the backyard to check the situation.

The number of people who could have filled the open space has been reduced by more than half, leaving only about 80 people. It seems that those who were missing should have left after receiving their own slavery documents. Wang Zhaoshi and Wang Gui are busy sorting out some materials. Wang Gui was not very literate, but Wang Zhao, who came from a wealthy family, was able to write and took on most of the work.

"Most of the people have left, that's right." Li Xin leisurely came to Wang Gui's side.

Wang Gui nodded and said: "A total of 163 people have left, and the remaining 80 people are willing to stay and live in the palace."

Li Xin couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's not bad, it's quite an artistic walk, it's just for me to make up the whole, so that I don't have an obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Wang Gui, Wang Zhaoshi, and Run Niang all blinked in confusion, as if they didn't know what Li Xin was talking about.

Well, they really don't seem to know what OCD is. What kind of strange disease is that?

Li Xin had no choice but to restrain his smile, and said to Wang Zhaoshi: "Don't you want to leave? If you want to leave, you can leave after finishing the affairs here."

Mrs. Wang Zhao smiled and said, "My lord is joking. I'm a convict, where else can I go now?"

Li Xin shrugged and said, "Who knows? There should be some places where I can go, such as going back to my mother's house?"

Wang Zhao said with a smile: "Since I'm married, I naturally have nothing to do with my natal family. What's more, I am still a family member of a prisoner. Even if I reluctantly return to my natal family, I'm afraid I will be looked down upon by others. It's better to be in this palace. Pouring tea and doing some work may be more comfortable. Most of the people who are left now think so."

Li Xin showed a smile and said, "A person who understands is a person who understands."

The family members of these prisoners are actually in the same situation. Unless he has skills to support himself, even if he leaves the palace, he will just go to his relatives' house to live under the fence. It may not be as comfortable as staying in the palace of Chu. At least Li Xin will not be so bored as to make things difficult for them. But that being said, Li Xin had to give people the right to choose, otherwise it would be embarrassing to make it seem like he was really coveting these two hundred servants.

Anyway, this group of people can leave if they want, stay if they want, and he doesn't interfere.

"My lord, you've praised me." Mrs. Wang Zhao gave a salute, "I'm a woman, but I want to thank my lord for rescuing and taking me in. My lord is a good man."

Li Xin waved his hands nonchalantly, and said, "What kind of good people are bad people, I just want to make my heart happy."

He turned to Wang Gui and said, "Call everyone over here, I have a few words to say."

Wang Gui responded, walked over and called all the scattered people over.

Li Xin came to the front of the crowd and unexpectedly saw Wang Feng in the crowd. He didn't even leave.

Wang Feng also noticed Li Xin's eyes, and tried his best to hide in the crowd, trying in vain to make himself disappear from Li Xin's sight.

Li Xin smiled kindly. There are always times when people are stupid, as long as they know they are stupid and work hard to correct them.

He didn't look at Wang Feng again, but said to the people in front of him: "I thought there would be fewer people left, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot. But it doesn't matter, the palace is not short of your meal, If you want to stay, you can stay. I have no bad habits, and I will not abuse my servants. At least I think it is much better than exile and Jiaofangsi."

Li Xin originally wanted to tell a joke, but the group in front of him didn't even have a single laugh—presumably, in just a few days, he changed from a prisoner who was supposed to be exiled or imprisoned into the Jiaofang Division to a prisoner in the Chu Palace. The servants, and then exhausted their minds and minds in a short period of time to consider whether to leave the Chu Palace. They were exhausted physically and mentally, and it was normal for them to lose the function of "laughing" temporarily.

Li Xin, who was embarrassed for a moment, pretended to be calm and coughed twice, and then said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about something serious. Listen, among you, there are people who can read and write." How much? Put your hand up and let me see."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd in front of them commotioned for a while, and several arms were raised.

Li Xin made a general point. There were twenty-three people in total, most of them were women in their twenties and thirties, and occasionally there were a few young men in their twenties and thirteens, and Wang Feng was among them.

Although the status of women is low these days, the dross idea that "a woman is virtuous without talent" has not yet been born. The vast majority of women who can marry into the Shandong gentry are either women from rich families or women from other families who are also gentry, and they can read and write, not to mention the descendants of these Shandong gentry. All of them are able to read and write.

Li Xin suddenly thought with some emotion: Out of the 80 people, there are more than 20 people who can read and write, and the proportion even exceeds a quarter. Of course, this is nothing in later generations, but here is Datang, and the illiteracy rate of the whole people is over 99%. With such a comparison, we can understand the horror of the aristocratic family. Their literacy rate is dozens of times that of ordinary people, no wonder they can control the right to speak.

Forget it.

Li Xin drove away the redundant thoughts in his mind. If you want to solve the current situation that Datang is too powerful, it will not be successful overnight, so let's start with the things in front of you.

"I am the only master of the palace, and I don't need so many servants to serve me. But I have some things to do later, so I have other arrangements for you people." Li Xin revealed some news to these people first, and then said, "You guys These literate guys who raised their hands all leave a name with Wang Zhaoshi. I will be of great use."

Those literate people finally had some fluctuations on their faces, showing joy.

In any case, they are useful to the King of Chu, which means that the King of Chu will not drive them away casually, and will take good care of them. For them at this stage, there is no better news than this.

Li Xin could probably guess a little bit about what these people were thinking. He turned to Wang Gui and said, "Get ready, go to Lantian County early tomorrow morning."

Wang Gui nodded and went down to arrange related matters.
