Chapter 145 Backstabbing

If you want Luo to say it himself, the old emperor still picks it up. He wants to promote the planting of the corn seeds anyway, and it is not planted for anyone. Anyway, when the country becomes rich in the end, his treasury will naturally become rich.

Luo Yong seemed to have read it from somewhere before, saying that Li Shimin was a relatively frugal person, especially in the early days of Zhenguan. The palaces are all thatched roofs.

Although he himself definitely lives in the main hall, as an emperor, it is quite rare for an emperor to give up those vain and elegant villas and not pursue the grand and imposing high-end villas. It can be seen from this incident , today this one is still very particular about practicality.

From this perspective, Luo Yong still has a good impression of the current emperor.

Moreover, Luo Yong conjectured that at this time, Datang's treasury should be relatively short of money, and the people's livelihood must not be too heavy, and there must be wars and infrastructure construction. It is probably normal to make ends meet.

But when they got money later, these people also went to Luoyang City a few times.

For example, in the southwest, the battle between Datang and Tuyuhun has not yet ended, and Chang'an City has carried out several major actions, including rubber production and road construction.

Needless to say, Luo Yong could guess that His Majesty the Emperor probably didn't have much money, so he used the half bucket of corn to make up the money.

This half bucket of corn kernels may be a tall and sacred existence to others, but to Luo Yong...

"If you can stay here a little longer, I'll treat you to some corn." Luo Yong said to Qiao Junlin.

At this moment, Qiao Junlin only felt that he and this guy in front of him had no common language, so he should go back to do math problems.

Indeed, people who earn 100 yuan a day and those who earn 1 yuan a day don't have much in common. Qiao Junlin can't even earn 100 yuan now, and he is still a student with no income.

After sending the person away, Luo Yong couldn't help but reflect on himself, should he keep a low profile next time.

In the past, his finances were not good, and he would be mad two or three times from time to time, but it didn't bother anyone. Now his foundation has become solid, and once he makes a move, the lethality seems to be greater.

Therefore, the more successful people are, the more low-key they tend to be. Sometimes they have to be low-key, and those who use killer moves from time to time will definitely end up with so little popularity that they have no friends.

After finishing class at Xu's Guest House the next day, Luo Yong called Qiao Junlin outside to talk, and then handed him a palm-sized oiled paper packet.

"What is it?" Qiao Junlin asked after reaching out to take it.

"I heard that in the city of Chang'an, many people would plant some flowers and plants in the courtyard to share with others. Now at this time, if you sow a few corns in the courtyard, they will grow up in summer if you want, and the corn will be given away. Your uncle." Luo Yong said.

Qiao Junlin lowered his eyelids slightly, looked at the paper bag in his hand and was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I will thank you on behalf of my uncle."

"You're welcome, I still have something to ask for your help." Luo Yong said.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Junlin looked up at him, his eyes full of seriousness.

"You also know that most of my disciples can't read and write. Recently, the business of the cement workshop is getting better and better, and they feel a little inconvenience. If you can spare some time to teach them, I will be grateful." Luo Yong said.

It is true that his disciples should learn to read and write. Luo Yong had this idea early in the morning, but he himself has never been able to spare this time.

If he asks those who live in Xu's guest house for help, and he owes another favor, Luo Yong likes being owed to others, but he doesn't like being owed to others by himself, especially when he doesn't know the other person's personality.

Moreover, after experiencing what happened to Yan Liulang, Luo Yong was more or less wary of people. Although some people looked decent on the surface, who would know what kind of person they were inside? Taking the opportunity to poach his corner, wouldn't Luo Yong have a big head.

Relatively speaking, for Qiao Junlin, Luo Yong felt more at ease.Some people think that Qiao Junlin is too utilitarian and only wants to climb the ladder, but in Luo Yong's view, this young man who is neither cute nor pretentious and only wants to speak on his own strength is simply too decent, so decent that he is almost naive. This kind of innocence caught Luo Sanlang's eyes.

"When?" Qiao Junlin immediately agreed to the matter.

"Every day after dinner, just teach at the workshop for about an hour." Luo Yong said.

"Let's start tomorrow." Qiao Junlin made a decision: "I have to make some preparations tonight." He didn't ask how long he would teach.

"Okay, they also need to make some preparations." At least one place for teaching should be sorted out, and a large blackboard should also be prepared.

After a while, Qiao Junlin returned to the hall, walked up to Dr. Chen who was hard at work, and asked, "Sir, do you have any letters to send to Chang'an City recently?"

"What's the matter?" Dr. Chen asked without raising his head.

"I want to ask you to give my uncle something." Qiao Junlin said.

"What is it, just bring it." Dr. Chen was quite straightforward.

Now he is learning new knowledge and forgetting to sleep and eat. Sometimes when he gets excited, he can't calculate it correctly. After asking others for advice to no avail, he often wants to bother Luo Sanlang, but the other party doesn't think he is annoying.

In fact, Dr. Chen knew very well that most of this was done for Qiao Junlin's sake. Although Luo Sanlang was willing to teach them this knowledge, he didn't seem to like them always going to the Luo's yard to bother them when they had nothing to do.

There used to be some people who went to ask for advice, but Luo Sanlang refused to meet him. He only said that he had something to do and he could leave any questions for class.

Dr. Chen hadn't heard about this before, and he went there a few times, but he met people. After hearing about this, sometimes he couldn't help but still go, but Luo Sanlang didn't refuse to see him even once.

In fact, even if Luo didn't use this relationship, he would not refuse if his students asked him to help him deliver something.

It's just that with Luo Yong's relationship, he won't refuse even more.Even as a teacher and educator, Chen Mian has not thought of going further. If he wants to do bigger things, he must first stand in a higher position, so the management of contacts is particularly important .

Because of Luo Yong's relationship, Qiao Junlin was given a high look by his husband, and even if he didn't say how much he took care of him in the future, it would definitely not hurt him.

The other students under Dr. Chen probably have the same mentality. Although some of them don't like Qiao Junlin very much, because of Luo Yong's relationship, they don't want to have any grudges for nothing. Well, Luo Yong is such a smart and popular person, he will definitely do something in the future.

In other words, the young people's thinking is naive, that is, not long after Qiao Junlin started teaching Luo Yong's disciples, Luo Yong caused a big disaster for himself.

The reason is that Luo Yong sowed the corn seeds rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor on a hillside not far from his home. The hillside was originally a barren slope, and some beans had been planted earlier. This thing is drought and barren resistant, so they were planted there.

As a result, this seemingly inconspicuous incident was somehow passed on to Chang'an City. Some people in the court read Luo Yong's book, saying that he was always arrogant and would not take the government's attention. People can see that this time he even casually scattered His Majesty's reward on a barren slope. Looking at his actions this time, it is obvious that he has rebellious intentions.

"What do you dear ones think?" After hearing his impassioned speech, His Majesty the Emperor didn't react too much, and just casually asked the ministers in the palace what they thought.

As the emperor, he was in the center of power all day long. Apart from the many entanglements related to his own interests, he also watched the people under him tearing up and down all day long. There is nothing more convenient and quick than suing him for rebellion. He wants to rebel against one another all day long. Hearing these things too much makes him a little numb.

"It's pure nonsense." Old man Wei was the first to speak.

"As far as I know, the piece of land that Luo Sanlang used to grow corn was just a small piece of the five hectares of fertile land that His Majesty first rewarded him. Is Wu Yushi saying that what His Majesty gave him earlier is not Good land?" Then another minister taunted.

His Majesty the Emperor saw it, well, the fire was burning on him again, so he had no choice but to say, "It's just that your family's paper-making business has been ruined. Why are you Wu family so stingy and want to sue people for rebellion?" meaning."

As soon as this remark came out, many ministers in the hall immediately laughed softly. A matter that was said to be quite serious before was gently revealed in this way. There were still a few people who were ready to stir up trouble. Seeing this momentum, he immediately turned off the fire.

It seemed like a no-nonsense conversation, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed very relaxed, but it made Luo Yong go to the gate of hell for a while.

If most of the ministers above the court think that Luo Yong is a dangerous person, and His Majesty the Emperor also agrees with this view, Luo Yong will inevitably be taken to Chang'an City for a trial. In this trial, it is easy to find out whether he is wronged or false. Wrong case, when the time comes he will be unlucky not to mention, maybe even his family and disciples will suffer along with it.

About ten days later, Luo Yong heard about it from an enthusiastic merchant. The place was in the hall of Xu's guest house. Except Luo Yong, those who came to learn arithmetic with him were also present.

When the merchant was talking about this matter, he also seemed very angry. He looked at the well-dressed gentlemen in the hall, and even had a bit of contempt in his eyes. In his opinion, this matter is [-]% related to these guys Can't get rid of it.

These gentlemen usually look like they have their nostrils turned upside down, and they look down on merchants like them the most, but now they have the cheek to come to Luo Sanlang to study, and they still frame him behind their backs, they are nothing like beasts.

Luo Yong's gaze was also patrolling the hall, wondering who it was that stabbed him in the back.
