Chapter 123 Inspecting the beach fields

Zhao Yuanshu opened the envelope, and the content of the letter was not surprising. It just expressed her admiration and sincerely invited him to meet.

From Zhao Yuanshu's point of view, what was truly bizarre about the whole thing was that Cui Che actually extended an invitation to him.

'Could it be that my father is appreciated by His Majesty?'

Zhao Yuanshu thought to herself.

But no matter what the reason was, Zhao Yuanshu decided to follow the messenger Li Qing to Qingzhou. In fact, he was so poor that he could not even afford to go to Guanzhong to join his father.

Since the decline of his family business, Zhao Yuanshu has been looked down upon by people everywhere. He has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, which made him regret and determined to make a career.

But in fact, what he didn't know was that Cui Che's current situation was also due to Cui Che.

In the original time and space, no matter how Zhao Yuanshu ignored the family business, she had to lose it all after her father Zhao Shimo died in the war.

But he is from Boling and is from the same hometown as Cui Che, and Boling County is the territory of the Cui family.

Of course, since the county was dismissed last year, there is no longer a division of Boling County.

With the support of the third family, Cui Che has many ways to accelerate the decline of the Zhao family.

Don't underestimate the third family. The Boling Cui family is now the most prominent in the second family. However, because their important figures served in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, they mainly developed in Guanxi, and the third Boling family who served in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties

Cui, but Cui Jishu and Cui Xian came from the third room.

In terms of influence in the Hebei area alone, Second House may not be as good as Third House, which has roots in Hebei and has worked hard for more than 50 years.

Otherwise, how did that idiot Cui Da take the position of Chief Superintendent of Xiangzhou?

The Third House only lacked powerful figures in the upper echelons before. Now with the rise of Cui Che, this shortcoming has finally been made up. The Third House fully supports Cui Che.

That is to say, Brother Che believes that the private soldiers should be his own private soldiers, not the private soldiers of the third house. He has always refused to speak, otherwise he would not need to grit his teeth to support the three thousand horsemen of Boling.

On February 26th of the fourth year of Kaihuang's reign (584), Zhao Yuanshu followed the messenger Li Qing and rushed to Dongyang City. However, he learned that Cui Che, the general manager of Qingzhou, was not in the city now. He had gone to the coast of the Bohai Sea to inspect the beach fields. It had been several days.

I won't be back in a short time.

Reluctantly, the two tired people had no choice but to inquire about Cui Che's specific itinerary and hit the road again.

Near noon, Zhao Yuanshu and Li Qing arrived at the coast of the Bohai Sea. Before they could get close to the salt field, they were blocked by salt soldiers:

"The idle people can't wait to come near!"

Li Qing immediately revealed his identity, and Yan Bing took them to see Qin Qiong.

"Colonel Qin, this is Mr. Zhao whom the master is meeting."

Li Qing introduced.

After the three thousand salt soldiers returned home, Cui Che resigned from the post of captain and was replaced by Qin Qiong, the chief officer of the first battalion.

Qin Qiong is only twelve years old, but Li Qing does not dare to underestimate him at all.

Previously, many lieutenants in the army were dissatisfied, but Qin Qiong allowed them to challenge them, and with a horse spear in his hand, he defeated them all.

Under Cui Che's instruction, the story of Qin Qiong beating Yan Rong with one shot was also widely circulated in the military.

Before coming, Li Qing also mentioned Qin Qiong's deeds to Zhao Yuanshu, just because he was worried that he would underestimate his youth.

Qin Qiong looked at Zhao Yuanshu for a few times before saying:

"Come with me."

The two followed Qin Qiong to the beach field, but did not see Cui Che on the embankment. They only saw the busy figure in the beach field and the high piles of salt.

"Captain Qin, is the head of the family not here?"

Li Qing said doubtfully.

Qin Qiong glanced at him and said lightly:

"You two are waiting here."

After that, he walked into the beach field by himself.

Li Qing turned back to Zhao Yuanshu and explained:

"Colonel Qin feels that he is young. He is always serious in speech and pretends to be mature. He is not really an unkind person."

Zhao Yuanshu didn't care who Qin Qiong was, he just looked at Qin Qiong and found a tall and thin figure among the working salt workers, and said in disbelief:

"Could that be Cui Qingzhou?"

Li Qing followed Zhao Yuanshu's gaze and saw that the familiar figure on the back was the head of his family.

"He is the head of my family."

"Uncle Bao, why are you here?"

Cui Che put down what he was doing and asked.

"The manager personally accompanied Li Qing and brought people to ask for an audience."

Cui Che turned to look at the embankment, and sure enough he saw Li Qing.

Cui Che handed the broom in his hand to the guard beside him and joked:

"Shu Bao hit the whole army with a horse stick that day, and no one dared to look down upon him anymore. Why do you need to look so solemn all day? It's better to smile more."

Hearing this, Qin Qiong twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"How wonderful this is!"

After that, he clapped his hands vigorously and shouted to the salt workers who were busy around him:

"Everyone take a rest!"

When the salt workers heard Cui Che's call, they all stopped what they were doing and followed Cui Che ashore to rest.

When Cui Che went out to inspect the beach fields, he didn't just walk around the embankment and look around.

Instead, he went to the fields himself and worked hard with the salt workers.

Everyone was puzzled by his behavior, and some of his followers had previously admonished him in front of all the salt workers:

'The head of the family is the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and he is worshiped as the general manager of Qingzhou. He comes from a high family, so why should he lower himself to such a lowly career?'

Needless to say, Cui Che's reaction was a seasoned drama. He flew into a rage and reprimanded sternly:

'If you don't go to the fields yourself, how can you know the hardships of salt workers! They work hard to feed their families and contribute salt profits to the country. How dare your servants, who are not engaged in production, dare to look down on them! Go back to Dongyang quickly, and don't do it again.

It's an eyesore to me!'

This matter has been widely circulated among the salt workers, and of course someone is secretly and deliberately promoting it.

The attitude of the salt workers can be imagined. They are always so easily moved by others.

Of course, what the salt workers didn't know was that the follower who was driven back to Dongyang was also rewarded afterwards.

Cui Che returned to the shore and was not in a hurry to chat with Zhao Yuanshu. Instead, he patted Li Qing on the shoulder and asked:

"You went to Boling, but did you ever go home to visit your parents?"

"The master of the house has a destiny, and the servants dare not delay it!"

Li Qing was flattered and bowed to answer.

"The matter is serious and urgent. Although Cui is also looking forward to Mr. Zhao."

After saying that, he nodded and smiled at Zhao Yuanshu. Zhao Yuanshu quickly saluted. Cui Che helped him up and continued:

“But I don’t mind waiting for an extra day or two.

"When I go to Boling from now on, unless there is an urgent need, I must go home to pay homage to my parents. I need to know that filial piety comes first."

Qin Qiong nodded when he heard this, deeply agreeing with this. Li Qing was also moved and thanked Cui Che repeatedly for his teachings.

As for the line about "baishan filial piety" being one after another, Brother Che forgot about it.

Zhao Yuanshu has been paying attention to Cui Che's words and deeds. He secretly sighed, no wonder Cui Che can hold a high position at a young age. This ability to win over people is enough for him to learn for a lifetime.

After talking to Li Qing, Cui Che turned his attention to Zhao Yuanshu:

"Mr. Zhao has come all the way, so he must not have eaten yet?"
