Chapter 1245 letter
That morning, after Li Xiu finished teaching the children, he ordered them to move freely, then walked to Lizhi's side and knocked on the table in front of her and said, "Lizhi, why have you been absent-minded?"
Li Zhi, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up from her thoughts when she heard Li Xiu's voice. When she saw the smile on Li Xiu's face, she couldn't help but show an embarrassing expression and said, "Sir, don't blame me, I...I'm a little distracted!"
"Haha, last time Heianlang wrote a letter that he had a good time with Ji Nu, and he also said that he would help Ji Nu clear the taxes in Bingzhou, so he might be busy for a while. I guess he would write a letter in a few days." Seeing Li Xi's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing again.
After Heianlang went to Bingzhou, he would write letters almost every month, but he never wrote this month. More than ten days have passed, so it is normal for Lizhi to worry about him.
Seeing that Li Xiu guessed his own thoughts, Lizhi couldn't help but show a shy expression, and then she said, "I'm not worried about anything happening to Ji Nu. It was just that the weather was cold last time, so I made him a piece of clothes. I don't know if the size is appropriate. In addition, Ping Anlang always forgot to eat when doing things. This is not good for the stomach. I advised him many times but he didn't know how to change it."
Hearing Li Zhi's nagging words, Li Xiu secretly lamented that the children had really grown up. Although Li Zhi and Ping Anlang had not yet married, she had already assumed the responsibility of a wife. It seems that after they get married in the future, she will not have to worry that her son will not be able to take good care of herself in life.
Just as Li Xiu was about to comfort Lizhi, he suddenly saw a servant running over and shouting: "Master~, Young Master... The Young Master's letter was sent from Bingzhou!"
As the saying goes, Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Li Xiu didn't expect it to be so coincidental. He couldn't help laughing at Li Zhi and said, "Look, I just said that Heianlang's letter is coming soon, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental!"
Lizhi didn't care about being shy at this time, and stood up excitedly. As soon as the servant delivered the letter, she snatched it over. However, until then, she realized that she was really too out of control and her face turned red with shame. However, she still picked out the letter to herself from the letter, and handed the remaining letter to Li Xiu, and then ran out with a blushing face.
Seeing Lizhi's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile. As a veteran, he could understand his feelings for Lizhi, so he naturally wouldn't laugh at her.
The letters sent by Bingzhou include not only Ping Anlang, but also Li Zhi. Li Zhi usually writes letters to Li Xiu, and sometimes writes letters to friends with good relationships, such as Di Renjie, but he rarely writes letters to Li Shimin. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, if he has anything, he usually writes them directly into official documents and sends them to Li Shimin.
Li Xiu picked up the letters. This time, Heianlang and Li Zhi both wrote letters to him, so he handed the remaining letters to others and brought these two letters back to the study.
Now Li Xiu opened Ping'anlang's letter first. There was a lot of content on the letter. At first, he greeted Li Xiu and others' physical condition, and then he got to the point. It mainly talked about his experience in Bingzhou. For example, last time he mentioned that he wanted to help Li manage the tax revenue in Bingzhou. He has started doing it now. And according to him, he did it well, and it is estimated that it will be almost done in a while.
In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Although the trade on the grassland has been reduced by most, the affairs in Bingzhou City have not decreased at all. Instead, because the Chinese New Year has become more busy, he has not had time to write letters during this period.
However, when it comes to Ping Anlang's time to Bingzhou, he helped Li Zhi do a lot. Although Li Zhi was the governor of Bingzhou in the past, he was not in Bingzhou for a long time, so other local officials were responsible for management. Moreover, Bingzhou and Taiyuan were originally close to each other, and it was a transit station for trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands, so the business was very prosperous.
However, the officials in Bingzhou were not very good at management, which led to local financial chaos and unclear administrative management, which was very easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Li Zhi also discovered this problem when he went to Bingzhou, but he was young and lacked enough ability, so he could not solve this problem at all. Fortunately, Ping Anlang went there later, so they were busy with this matter during this period.
After introducing what he was doing in Bingzhou in his letter, Ping'an Lang asked Li Xiu some problems he encountered when doing things. Although Li Xiu did not have the experience of governing locally, he was knowledgeable and had a lot of life experience, so he could also give him some advice.
In addition, in the letter, Heianlang also mentioned that the things they did in Bingzhou were also supported by Li Ji, because when Li Zhi was not in Bingzhou, Li Ji had always managed Bingzhou in the name of the chief of the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, and the troops in Bingzhou and Taiyuan were also controlled by him to deter abnormal movements on the grassland. It was precisely with Li Ji's support that Li Zhi and Ping'anlang's governance in Bingzhou did not encounter any major obstacles.
After reading the letter from Ping'anlang, Li Xiu picked up Li Zhi's letter. However, when he opened the letter and saw the beginning, he couldn't help but laugh, because the first passage on Li Zhi's letter was to complain to Li Xiu that Li Qi, as his sister, actually made clothes for Ping'anlang, but forgot his younger brother. He also complained about this, and even said that the clothes Li Qi made for Ping'anlang did not fit, but Ping'anlang was still wearing them in front of him.
Looking at the childish words on Li Zhi's letter, Li Xiu seemed to see Li Zhi's cheeks bulging and angry, but Li Zhi was not really angry. Later, he talked about what he and Ping Anlang did during this period, which was not much different from what Ping Anlang wrote.
After reading the letter from his son and Li Zhi, Li Xiu also wrote a reply to them. Because the Chinese New Year was about to be held, he ordered people to prepare some things for the New Year. In addition, Li Zhi, Di Renjie and others also wrote a reply to them, and also prepared a lot of New Year gifts, planning to deliver them to Bingzhou with the letter.
