Chapter 225 Spring Hunting
"Not exactly. In fact, the one who is in charge of running Tianxu Tower is my apprentice. I am just a...legal person?"
Li Yanmo Wan Yao picked up the sweater on the ground and handed it to Yao Mengyi with a smile.
"Princess Yao's craftsmanship is pretty good, are you interested in cooperating? I feel like it could be a big hit."
Yao Mengyi carefully took the unfinished sweater, her face slightly red, and her voice as small as a mosquito, "I only make this sweater for my own amusement, no one will like it."
"That's wrong. I can see that Princess Yao really likes this business and has put in a lot of effort. As long as you really put in the effort, you will definitely get something in return. By the way, I wonder if Princess Yao has ever thought about knitting some woolen toys?"
"A woolen toy?"
"Yes, little bears and kittens that are about the size of a palm."
Li Yanmo gestured.
"This... I have never knitted it, but I can try!"
Seeing that Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi were chatting enthusiastically, Leng Ningshuang on the side coughed and said, "You two, can we talk about business first?"
Yao Mengyi shrank her neck and carefully moved closer to Li Yanmo, "I don't know much."
"Then tell me as much as you can. Let's start with the conflict between the noble marquis and the commoner marquis. What do you know?"
Yao Mengyi pondered for a while and then said, "My father told me that Emperor Yu seemed to be very dissatisfied with the old-fashioned feudal thinking of the people of Dayu, who believed that people were born into different classes. This time, he provoked the conflict between the nobles and the commoners in order to let the people of Dayu understand that kings, dukes, generals and ministers are not born with the same kind of blood."
Leng Ningshuang frowned slightly. "Emperors of all dynasties wanted to solve the ideological problems of the people of Dayu, but the problem is not with the officials and nobles of Dayu, but with the Taoist sects. Even if the nobles are used to fill the common people, it is difficult to have any effect, not to mention this method..."
Leng Ningshuang hesitated for a moment and didn't finish her words, but Li Yanmo also thought of the same thing and simply said, "This method is too violent and may cause the people of Dayu to lose their respect for Dayu."
In an ideal dynasty, the people do not fear the court but trust it.
Dayu had the will but not the power.
The universe is too vast, with millions of Taoist sects inside and countless monsters outside. In order to maintain order in this universe and prevent the chaos from coming back, Dayu can only maintain the dynasty's influence on the people with awe.
Nowadays, the Taoist sects are ready to make a move. Using noble marquises to replace commoner marquises can indeed break some feudal ideas, but it will also give the sects an opportunity to take advantage.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, my father will let me perform a few times, and then I will be sent out to do whatever I want. But I haven't decided where to go yet," Yao Mengyi stuck out her tongue, "My father is really jealous of me."
Li Yanmo thought for a moment and suggested, "If Princess Yao hasn't decided where to go, you can consider Ganzhou. I have a spirit animal garden there. The animals there are all spirits. You can teach them how to knit sweaters."
"Really!"
"Ah! Business!"
Seeing that Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi were off topic again, Leng Ningshuang raised her voice in annoyance.
"How about you guys talk about your personal matters first, and then we can go to my room and talk about business?"
When they heard that they were going to Leng Ningshuang's room, Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi said in unison, "Let's talk about business now!"
"Hey... I'm also worried about getting hurt."
Li Yanmo rubbed his brows and thought, "Will Princess Yao also attend the Spring Hunt? What do you know about Li Lin?"
"I will indeed attend the Spring Hunt. As for Li Lin..."
Yao Mengyi hesitated for a while and shook her head.
"I don't know either. I only know that he has made rapid progress in his cultivation because of the help from several princes. Although he is only at the sixth level of Qi training now, he will probably be able to establish a foundation after this spring hunt."
Li Yanmo was shocked. "So fast?"
The Spring Hunt is only a few days away, and the Spring Hunt itself only lasts for a week. This means that Li Lin will be able to rush from the sixth level of Qi training to the foundation building stage in less than ten days?
Even among super sects, this speed is extremely terrifying. You know, super sects have a huge amount of cultivation resources, but Li Lin is just the son of a commoner marquis, and the cultivation resources he has are all obtained through gambling.
Yao Mengyi nodded and continued, "I don't know the specific details. I am only responsible for portraying him up to the middle stage of foundation building. But you can go find Cui Yunling, she is responsible for the golden elixir stage."
"Cui Yunling? Isn't she researching rice?" Leng Ningshuang was stunned.
“I heard that when Sister Cui received the notice, she fainted in the field and became seriously ill.”
"Come to think of it, she seems to have always been very timid."
"I think this may have something to do with you..."
"ah?"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Li Yanmo had a strange expression on his face, "Why do you like contrast so much?"
"It's convenient for others to see," Leng Ningshuang helplessly spread her hands, "In the stereotype of the people of Dayu, people born into great wealth and status are mostly arrogant and look down on human life. Even if they act gentle and refined, it's mostly fake. But fortunately, they can endure a beating, regret after being severely punished, and turn over a new leaf."
"Of course, this is also to defend the authority of Dayu's laws. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. If the nobles are punished more, the people will be willing to believe that Dayu's laws will protect them."
Li Yanmo thought about it, tasted it again, and felt that it seemed to be the case.
"Princess Yao, I will also attend the Spring Hunt. Can I go with you?"
"Okay, okay. But... you might be implicated..."
Yao Mengyi was very happy at first, but when she thought about her own arrangements, she suddenly became embarrassed and made a suggestion in a low voice.
"Why don't you wait until I finish my performance before coming over."
"It's okay. I'll just take a look."
After agreeing on the meeting time, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang got off the carriage and slowly returned to Leng Mansion.
After two leisurely days, it was time for spring hunting.
Leng Ningshuang changed into the outfit of a sickly young lady again.
As the eldest daughter of the Leng family and a delicate and weak person, Leng Ningshuang naturally has no need to participate in the Spring Hunt, but the Leng family needs to express its stance, so Leng Ningshuang needs to go on stage and go through the process, and by the way, host this Spring Hunt.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this spring hunt was yet another conflict between noble marquises and commoner marquises, and the confrontation had already begun before it began.
The commoner marquises did not have many resources, so the princes all traveled in groups. The noble sons with solid foundations arrived early at the barracks outside the Demon-Suppressing Plains to exchange experiences.
"I really envy the prince and his friends, they were sent as stepping stones so early. I don't look like a good person, and I even gave myself a hooked nose."
"Yeah, I heard that Wang Hong's grandson has gone to raise ducks. Damn it - I'll sneak over and eat his ducks!"
"But the most unlucky one is Sister Yao. We can only perform twice at most, and I heard that she will have to perform several more times."
"The one who suffered the most must be Sister Cui. She ran so far away to farm, but she was dragged here."
