Mei Boqing's face was not obvious, but there was a bit of shock in his eyes.

"Your mother is now very capable, and she can even see the flood. ”

Xiao Song smiled proudly: "My mother is naturally capable, my father and mother all the way from the capital to Nanyi, all rely on my mother to see the sky, looking for water, so that we can not lose the arrival of one person, my mother has the ability to see the weather, she said that it will rain every day, it will not be sunny, she said that if it is drought, it will inevitably not rain." ”

Mei Boqing frowned when he heard this: "If there is really a flood, then I should report to the DPRK and the Central Committee earlier......"

He stopped before he could finish speaking.

Mei Boqing has lived to this day, and the innocence of his youth and the lonely high have long been worn out.

He is already an old man who has experienced the world, so he naturally knows that the current court really tells them that there will be a flood next spring, and no one cares.

The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government only know how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and Emperor Jingqing is becoming more and more mediocre, and now he only knows that he spoils Li Guifei, and the rest is not cared for, plus the encroachment of those big families, Daqi is in crisis everywhere, but none of them come out to clean up the mess, what is the use of telling them that there is a disaster?

Xiao Song saw what Mei Boqing was thinking.

He waited for a while before he said: "Back then, my mother was encountering drought and locust plague on the way to Nanyi, and she was starving for thousands of miles at that time, but did anyone in the court take care of it? No, now the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qi Dynasty are even more drunk with dreams, that is, the flood is really monstrous, and who will come out to take care of it?"

When Mei Boqing heard this, his spine was a little bent, and he sighed: "It's just that the people are suffering." ”

Mei Boqing pointed to the chair: "Sit down." ”

Xiao Song sat down: "The ancestor should go to Nanyi with us to have a look, you don't know, now we are fine in Nanyi." ”

Xiao Song is a good talker, after he sat down, he began to talk about the things that Xiao Yuan has done over the years, from making salt to providing good seeds to the people, from building roads to encouraging commerce and trade.

"The kid is used to staying in Nanyi, and he is not used to it when he goes out of Yuechuan Mansion, you don't know, our roads in Nanyi are well repaired, not only in Fucheng, but also in various villages, there is no dust when it is dry, and it will not be muddy when it rains, and it will be smooth and tight when walking, and we really can't stand it when we go out of Yuechuan Mansion on a dirt road......

The more Mei Boqing listened, the more interested he became, and he carefully asked Xiao Song about the grain output over there, the lives of the people, and so on.

When he heard that the people of Nanyi Mansion could not only be fed and clothed, but also that the children at home could study for free, and that some people could seek medical treatment in time when they were sick, he couldn't help but praise: "It's good, it's good......

Xiao Song smiled: "Or I said that you should go and take a look, this Yangzhou City is prosperous, but you go to see our Nanyi Mansion, that is the real wealth, my mother said, if you go, you will definitely be entertained, if you can take your uncles to go, then my mother will definitely be even happier." ”

"This ......"

Mei Boqing hesitated.

Xiao Song stepped up his persuasion: "You are teaching here, don't you teach when you come to our Nanyi Mansion?" We have more students in Nanyi, and we have more students there, if you are willing to bring your teachers and uncles over, it really solves our urgent need, Shizu, think about how many children we have in Nanyi, how many pairs of eyes are eager to learn, children want to learn, my father also intends to cultivate talents, but there is no teacher...... Moreover, if you don't do it for you, you have to think about it for my uncle and brothers, if there is really a big flood next spring, and the people are chaotic together, you will not be sure that you will be in Yangzhou City, if there is really something, my mother will have to die of distress. ”

Xiao Song worked hard to persuade Mei Boqing from all aspects, but finally made Mei Boqing a little loose.

Xiao Song took the opportunity to tell Mei Boqing that he wanted to talk to his grandmother, and Mei Boqing asked his subordinates to take him to see Mrs. Mei.

After Xiao Song left, Mei Boqing opened the letter and read it.

After reading it, he covered his letter and sighed: "This child, this child......"

In An Ning's letter, she complained to Mei Boqing, saying that there was a shortage of talents in Nanyi, and it was not a half-star shortage, it was a lack of it, there were not enough officials in Nanyi's prefectures, and there was a shortage of teachers who were in short supply, and she and Xiao Yuan were almost sad about this.

They went around attracting the victims and discovering all kinds of talents from the victims, but it was not enough.

Because there is no manpower, many government decrees cannot be implemented, and some of her ideas cannot be realized, so she wants to ask Mei Boqing to help her, introduce her to some senior brothers and younger brothers, and promise Mei Boqing that as long as she is willing to go over, she will definitely give a particularly good treatment, and if she has real talent and learning, she can be arranged to take office immediately.

After reading this letter, Mei Boqing still didn't know what An Ning meant.

An Ning invited him to go and asked him to bring his students over, firstly, to seek talents, and secondly, it also meant to buy horse bones.

Mei Boqing is a great Confucian in the world, and many of his apprentices and grandchildren have real skills, and among his apprentices, there are many people who are also very famous, if these people are willing to go to Nanyi, it is undoubtedly to tell the whole world that Nanyi is the desire of the people.

In addition, An Ning also wants to use Mei Boqing's name to attract talents.

Mei Boqing guessed Xiao Yuan's ambition to compete in the Central Plains from Xiao Song's narration, and naturally knew that if Xiao Yuan wanted to unify the north and south of the country, he would inevitably need talents from all walks of life.

And the Nanyi Prefectures have always been barbarians, where there has always been a lack of education, no etiquette, and naturally a lack of available people.

So, the two of them hit him with the idea.

He had the heart to say that he didn't care, but when he thought of Anning, he thought of his angry daughter.

An Ning is about the same size as his daughter, and when he was young, the two children played very well, and he also treated An Ning as his own daughter.

Now that his daughter has been dead for several years, and Liu Yushi has long since passed away, he pities An Ning for losing her parents early, and also regrets her daughter, so he treats An Ning as his own daughter.

The child was embarrassed, and he, who was an uncle, couldn't ignore it.

However, let him abandon his family and business to go to Nanyi, and he couldn't let go of some old friends in Yangzhou.

Besides, he still has some literati temperament, and he feels that if he goes to Nanyi, he is not much different from a thief.

He couldn't make up his mind here, but Xiao Song had already met Mrs. May.

He handed An Ning's letter to Mrs. Mei, and told Mrs. Mei how An Ning thought of her, and how good Nanyi was, and An Ning wanted to invite their family over to see something.

In addition, Xiao Song also said that there will be a big flood in the spring next year, and persuaded Mrs. Mei to put her family first.

If it were anything else, Mrs. May might not let go, but when she spoke of the flood, she was terrified.

Later, Xiao Song said that the hungry people he saw on the way here finally made Mrs. Mei make up her mind.
