Chapter 300

Li Tianyi, the son of an official family, is very clear about these things. He also knows that the other party doesn't really help him, but wants to use him, but he is also willing to be used.

In the past, he was the son of Li Ruonan and the son of governor Denglai. If others dared to use him, he would be very angry and unhappy. But now, unlike in the past, being used by others is also a kind of value, which is better than not even using it.

During this period of time, he perfectly knew what it was called "people walking cold tea".

In the past, he was the son of the magistrate, and his father's master was the first assistant Wen Tiren. His future was very good. Many people flattered him. Even in Fu society, although many scholars said they were dismissive of officialdom, they still gave him three points of courtesy to the son of the magistrate who held real power. He was invited to many parties and everyone regarded him as a close friend, We often have parties together, but since his father died, there have been fewer such gatherings, and everyone has less pursuit of him. In the past, everyone thought that his literary talent was OK and could become a great thing in the future. However, today, many people think that his articles are actually nonsense. They don't inform him of all poetry meetings and gatherings and don't ask him to go.

It can be said that without his father, he is nothing but an ordinary person. Even in some aspects, he is not even as good as an ordinary person. Ordinary people can still farm, but he can't even farm. He can only live by relying on these heritages left by his father.

However, Keng father Keng's death is that his father borrowed money from many people in order to seek the post of governor of Denglai, but spent all his savings for many years. He used all the money to bribe his master Wen Tiren to seek the post of governor of Denglai. Even his Li family supported him in doing so, and many people supported him with money and food, As a result, he became governor.

When he was about to make money in governor Denglai's office, he was killed by others before he arrived. He didn't make any money in governor's office, but he left a bad debt. Such a result was unexpected by us and their Li family. As a result, Lin Ruonan fell, not only their Li Ruonan, but the whole Li family.

When Li Tianyi himself officially took over the family and officially mastered the money, he was surprised to find that there was nothing in their family accounts, except a ancestral house and hundreds of acres of land.

It was because he had no money that he would save money everywhere, not because he wanted to save, but because he couldn't afford it at all.

In the past, he actively donated money at various poetry conferences and gatherings, sponsored various activities and helped some poor scholars at the gatherings, so he won everyone's respect and love, but when he stopped funding, everyone's attitude towards him was different.

Now he understands that the so-called pursuit of Liu Bu by these people is the same as his pursuit of Liu Bu in the past. He used to woo and pursue Liu BU for his money, but when Liu Bu didn't pull out a dime, they no longer dumped him. They didn't even inform Liu Bu of all the gatherings and poetry meetings, and even removed him from the Linqing meeting, In the past, he felt very proud that their Linqing poetry club was a local high-end organization. They could kick out those who were dissatisfied, which would be a scenery, but now he found that it was useless.

Here is also a small officialdom, a small society and a small group. There are all kinds of social struggles everywhere. He used to be rich and powerful. People will naturally flatter and chase you, but no one will bird you when you have no money and no power.

This was something he had never thought of before, and it was something he realized after the great changes in his life after his father's death, but it was a little late at this time.

So this time he knew that height was using him, and he didn't care. As long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't care what he thought.

Li Tianyi naturally had his plan, that is, his father died in office. The imperial court did not say anything. If his father was found to have been killed by Liu Yuanqiao or wrongly killed, the imperial court would more or less compensate the Li family. It's best to give him a reputation or birth. This is his real purpose.

Li Tianyi knows one thing, that is, he wants to get a reputation and a birth. That's easy. But now he knows that the Li family has declined with them, and his literary talent is just average. It's not easy to get a scholar's reputation. He will play the abacus so loudly and prepare to avenge his father, Close to some of his father's friends, he became famous and let him get a reputation for himself.

He could have returned to the countryside to be a little rich man, but he knows that in the Ming Dynasty, you can only be an official, you can be dignified, and you can honor your family.

He doesn't have the ability of his father. He can study hard for ten years and get fame and title on the golden list. He can only get fame and birth through the way of Zu Yin.

Of course, it's hard to say whether his little abacus is good or not. He is also trying his best to fight, first, to fight, and second, to get justice for his father.

Although Li Tianyi is a very bastard, he is very filial and respectful to his father. He can't let his father die like this. When people die, there must be a saying. Now, as a senior member of the imperial court, his father dies in an unknown place. The place doesn't give a saying, and the imperial court doesn't give a saying, so he wants one.

And now he is grateful to his father. Why does he say he is grateful to his father now? That's because in the past, he didn't think his father was giving him much benefits. He always complained that his father was not promoted fast enough and couldn't give himself prestige. But now, after his father died, he knew that without his father, he was nothing.

So he decided that in order to repay his father's kindness, he should make it clear and explain it anyway.

And he saw Liu Bu's scenery. In those days, Liu Bu always wanted to curry favor with the kind of people he couldn't curry favor with. He can only enter his small circle by donating a lot of money. Now, Liu Bu has become a famous general all over the world, but he has become a person who everyone doesn't want to see.

It's just that everyone doesn't want to see them. Their family still owes a lot. If no one dared to urge and ask when Li Ruonan was in debt in the past, it's because Li Ruonan, governor of Denglai appointed by the imperial court, has some means to get money. He can get the money back soon and fill in the deficit, but now it's different. Li Ruonan is dead, And his son Li Tianyi is a prodigal son who can't make money at all and has no fame. He can't pay back the money at all. Creditors began to worry and urged him for money one after another.

Those who can lend money to Lin Ruonan are rich and powerful people. If they have no money, power or confidence, they dare not lend money to people to run for and buy officials. Such people dare to lend money to others to take such great risks. Naturally, they also have a backer. Therefore, they are eager to ask the other party to pay back the money and are still trying to force Li Tianyi. This also makes Li Tianyi unpopular and hide, I dare not hide in Linqing or in the countryside, but in the capital.

However, the creditors are not easy to mess with. They heard that Li Tianyi was in the capital, so they sent people to the capital. The capital and debt collection all came to the capital. Li Tianyi had no place to hide, so he had to ask for help from people he knew.

Gao Gao has been fooling Li Tianyi to sue, discredit and slander the Liu family (in fact, it's not slander and slander). It's just a tool he uses. He's not a real friend. How can he raise such a large sum of money for Li Tianyi? It's tens of thousands of Liang of silver. You know, if he has so much silver, he doesn't have to run for an official to buy an official, Just enjoy it at home.

So Gao directly refused Li Tianyi's request and said, "nephew Li Xianyi, our relationship is just ordinary. How can we lend you so much money? If you borrow it, what will you give back?"

Li Tianyi had to beg him and said, "there are still hundreds of mu of land at home. Sell the land and the ancestral house at that time. Naturally, you can scrape up a sum of money to return it to Uncle Shi."

In the past, Lin Ruonan and height were commensurate with friends, so Li Tianyi called height uncle.

What a cunning man he is, how could he be cheated so easily? He said directly, "since you have land and ancestral house in your family, you can sell it directly and pay back the money. Why should you borrow it from me? If you can't pay back, how can I pay the job to the family."

Li Tianyi said, "now my nephew is in a hurry to use money. The main reason is that the creditors come to the door. They are too anxious to wait until my nephew returns to the countryside to sell houses and fields, so it's urgent."

He pondered for a while. He said, "you can arrange for these creditors to meet me. I can assure him that you will go home to sell land and land and repay their debts. It is estimated that they are willing to wait for a few days and half a month in order to ask for money. If they are not willing to wait, it's OK. Don't pay it back."

He still has that attitude. It's impossible to cheat his money, so Li Tianyi has no choice but to return unhappily.
