Chapter 399: Words

Zhou Ziqiu sneered in his heart, what do you mean? What do you mean? What was your attitude when people kindly gave you food?

I feel that the Qi family is powerful and has a lot of silver, and I feel that if I go to eat, I can afford to look at the Qi family. This is called feng shui in turns, to be a man, not afraid of poverty, just afraid of this kind of unclear. And these people are the people under his rule, he is the lord of a county, so in this way, he is the initiator.

Zhou Ziqiu's mood was naturally not good. So when it comes to talking, there is less of the usual warmth.

And the people are used to seeing the Wen Zhou County Order, and the Zhou County Order suddenly became vigorous and resolute, which made the people's whining voices a little quieter.

Seeing that the people were surrounding the yamen and had no intention of dispersing, Zhou Ziqiu raised his voice and said...... "What the official said just now, you can all hear it clearly. From today, it will be carried out. If you want to fill your stomach, you go to work at the place designated by the lord of the city. If you are tired and tired, you can be idle.

In this world, there is no one like the city lord, who is trying in every possible way to find a way for you to live.

Don't be ignorant of what is good or bad anymore. The school is open, and you can send your own children to literacy. This is already a great blessing, you don't know how much money you had to spend in a year to study in a private school, do you? Now the city lord has given you dolls the opportunity to take the top prize in vain, and you should be grateful. Don't criticize the city lord and lady for a few innocuous words. Zhou Ziqiu finished his persuasion and turned around and entered the yamen.

People, you look at me, I look at you, there are those who are thoughtful, there are those who are unwilling, in the end. Some people began to leave, looking in the direction of the city. "Zhang San, what are you going to do?" Li Si asked, and Zhang San stopped and replied. "Naturally, I went to work. In the past, when there was no city lord in Yecheng, we didn't have to work **** to eat. After the lord of the city came, he kindly rewarded us with a few days of food, this man, we must not be too greedy. Or the peace of mind of the money earned by one's own work. Li Si, are you going? Let's have a partnership. ”

Li Si hesitated, and Wang Er stepped forward at this time. San'er is right. In the past, we were able to endure hardship. Now I can't eat it. Even at Daddy's place, you can't eat all day long. Moreover, the things done by the lord of the city are all good deeds, like digging the ditch that leads to water. If the canal is really built. We will no longer have to worry about the lack of water in Yecheng. San'er. Let's go. Wang Er, Zhang San hooked his shoulders and walked out of the city.

Li Si looked at the hesitant crowd on one side, and then looked at Li Sanwang and the two of them who were far away. Finally walked after the two. "You two wait for me. I'll go with me. I've heard that iron ore has been dug up in the mine outside the city, and I want to go and see it for a long time. ”

Then, in a group of three, in a group of five, everyone went together.

There are those who go out of the city to work, those who go to the mines, and those who go up to the mountains to collect medicine and chop firewood for hunting.

There are also people who are dissatisfied with the new charter and are on the verge of dying and going home to suffer.

Although the new charter was only released yesterday, it can be quickly and quickly followed by Zhou Ziqiu, but in one day, it has spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng.

Naturally, there are those who scold, those who are not dissatisfied, and those who have a long-term vision and feel that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Long-term rule can be long-term, and it is always difficult to sit and eat empty.

Governing the city is like governing the country, selecting talents, and negotiating, so for a long time, Yecheng will prosper.

And when the people were talking, Qi Lu Xie Ke and the others looked like they had nothing to do with themselves in the courtyard. Qi Lu teased his daughter, Xie Ke flipped through the account book, and the husband and wife entered Yecheng by themselves, and it was rare to steal half a day of leisure. After accompanying his wife and daughter, Qi Lu went to the outer study, and what he discussed last night was all about Yecheng.

Today, the matter under discussion is related to the imperial court.

After Qi Lu left, Yuhui added oil and vinegar to praise Zhou Ziqiu's actions, and finally Yuhui summed up. "On weekdays, I look at Lord Zhou as a good person, and he has a good temperament to do things, and he is in a hurry to die. And the timid one, it seems that as long as the master counts out loud, he will run away. I don't want to be so majestic in front of the yamen today. It's overwhelming...... To put it bluntly, the ordinary people all looked afraid. Yuhui told Xie Ke what she heard from her mother-in-law.

She wants her young grandmother to like to hear it.

Even when she heard this, she felt excited. It's not that she gloates over the deflated people. It was the people who did it, and it hurt people.

Now that my young grandmother finally doesn't have to lose money and complain. If those ordinary people want to eat, they can only go to work obediently. This is not the capital, you can find a living just by walking around. As far as the eye can see, there are only three or five shops in the entire Yecheng, and they are all self-sufficient, so there is no need to hire a guy at all.

As for workshops and the like that need to hire people, there is no one.

That's why Yecheng is so poor, I really don't know what the people of Yecheng relied on to survive before my grandfather came to Yecheng? Thinking of these, Yuhui admired Zhou Ziqiu even more.

In such a poor town, Zhou Ziqiu actually held on, and Yecheng didn't starve the whole city to death during the famine, which is really rare.

How did Yuhui know that at that time, Zhou Ziqiu took someone up the mountain in person and almost dug up the mountain. So I came back with some stones on my back and gnawed on them. In those two years, the people of Yecheng starved to death seven or eight out of ten.

If it weren't for the fact that Yecheng was known as poor, even the bandits would have disdained it.

How can Zhou Ziqiu be able to defend this poor city? After thinking about it, Yecheng was preserved because of his poor reputation.

If it was just barely enough to eat and wear, Zhou Ziqiu could barely lead the people to do it. Farming, hunting, and even gnawing on the bark and leaves of trees no matter how bad they are, but if Yecheng wants to prosper, it must be Qilu. This is also the reason why Zhou Ziqiu supports Qi Lu regardless of it.

Compared with Qi Lu, Zhou Ziqiu thinks that he is not one of them.

After Yuhui finished speaking, someone suddenly called the young lady. Xie Ke's master and servant turned sideways to look, only to see Zhou Jun, who had just accompanied Mingyue to play in the courtyard, slowly stepped forward. This ten-year-old boy was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but compared to his father, he was much more handsome.

Since Zhou Jun was asked by Qi Lu to be a scholar, he has always been quite honest.

Every day, the study and Xie Ke's yard run at both ends. In the study, he studied hard, and in the courtyard, he accompanied Mingyue one by one, but he did not slack off at all. Xie Ke was originally a good-tempered person, seeing Zhou Jun so sensible. It really gives birth to a little bit of love. Occasionally he will tell Zhou Jun some truths that are not in the book, this child always listens quietly, and occasionally says some of his own opinions, after all, Zhou Jun has been with his father Zhou Ziqiu since he was a child, and his knowledge is quite similar to his father.

After a few days, his temperament has finally changed a little, and he is no longer as cautious as when he first came, and sometimes he will take the initiative to talk to Xie Ke.

"Jun'er, are you done with your homework today?" Xie Ke asked softly. Zhou Jun nodded, and Yuhui knew that Zhou Jun had something to say to Xie Ke. I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh. Then nodded Zhou Jun's forehead, and then went to the courtyard to accompany Mingyue, the little girl has been wrapped around Zhou Jun recently, but Zhou Jun only needs to talk to his young grandmother. It's always a lot of work.

"Young lady. Sister Yuhui mentioned her father just now. Jun'er has the courage to ask...... Father before. Is it really that annoying? Zhou Jun has always felt that his father is a good person, the kind of good person who is a little stupid, for the sake of the ungrateful people in Yecheng. unexpectedly dared to requisition the city lord's mansion, and it was 'cut first and then played'.

If it weren't for Second Master Qi's kindness, he wouldn't care. My father has now been imprisoned.

But now, Second Master Qi not only did not punish his father, but even entrusted him with reuse.

can listen to the meaning of Yuhui's words, before, the second master and the young grandmother were not optimistic about their father. This made Zhou Jun a little puzzled, since he was not optimistic, why did he entrust it to reuse? If the father's temperament is not likable, then what about him?

Second Master Qi kept him by his side and raised him personally.

What is the purpose?

Is it really as my mother guessed...... Do you want to keep a 'hostage' in hand, so that your father can be desperately assisted? Zhou Jun couldn't figure it out, but as he spent more time with Xie Ke, Zhou Jun felt that neither the young lady Xie Ke nor the second master Qi Lu were the kind of people his mother thought.

They are of noble birth, they come from the richest place in the capital, and they do not disdain to use such despicable means......

What's more, Zhou Jun didn't think that his father Zhou Ziqiu was worthy of such calculations as the husband and wife. In Zhou Jun's opinion, the reason why they use their father is just because their father is familiar with this place, and they are too lazy to change people.

Zhou Jun still knows what his father's temperament is and how he acts.

Therefore, he did not want to listen to his mother's daily complaints, nor did he want to obey everything as his father told him. He had his own ideas, and when he came directly to ask Xie Ke, he decided after careful consideration. Xie Ke smiled, although Zhou Jun's question was quite acute, but in Xie Ke's opinion, Zhou Jun was different from his father. This is a very spiritual child, and if he is carefully cultivated and given time, he will definitely be able to make a difference.

She didn't want such a child to be bound by Zhou Ziqiu's timid nature, nor did she want to be burdened by his mother's narrow-mindedness.

So Xie Ke said with a smile. "There are good and bad things, and so is human nature. If it is said that you can govern this Yecheng, your father is indeed a great man, and his character is good, but he is a good hand at running a house. Don't dislike it, although what I said is a little rougher, it makes sense.

You think, if a person is good at running a house, the family life is natural and stable. If that person is a loser, and he wants to squander the money in his hand, he will naturally not even have overnight food.

Your father was a good householder.

It's just that if Yecheng wants to prosper, the people want to have surplus food at the end of the year, and it is naturally not enough to keep it.

It is also necessary to have the ambition to expand thousands of miles. This is something your Father lacks. But right now, there is a second master, he is the arrow that expands the territory, and your father is the bow that is guarded.

Bows and arrows complement each other to get things done. Do you understand what I say? ”

Zhou Jun thought about it and nodded. “…… What kind of character is good for that person? ”

"There is no distinction between good and bad temperament, just ask your heart, ask yourself what kind of person you want to be? Is it to be a showman full of scriptures in the future? Or be a general who fights and kills? Or do you just want to live an ordinary life, marry a girl, have two or three children, and spend the rest of your life peacefully guarding a few acres of thin fields. Jun'er, people should not be greedy, if you are a talent showman, you will not be a general, you are a general, let you guard a few acres of thin fields to live, you are also unstable. Don't ask me what kind of personality I have, but what kind of person do you want to be?

It doesn't matter if you stand up to the sky, or if you don't do anything. As long as you look back on your life before you die, you have no regrets. ”

Zhou Jun nodded again and again, his expression was no longer hesitant, but his whole little face seemed to be full of light.

"Thank you, young lady, Jun'er knows. To be a man, you should follow your heart. Jun'er wants to be a capable person. It doesn't have to be a civil servant, nor a military general, but a ...... can be like the second master, and can protect the people he cares about with his own strength. ”

"Jun'er is transparent." Xie Ke praised with a smile. These **** felt that Zhou had something on his mind.

This kid is a man who likes to keep things in his heart. is not as timid as Zhou Ziqiu, nor as mediocre as his mother, but the kind of temperament between timidity and delusion.

To put it bluntly, his temperament is a bit like Qi Lu, but not as bold as Qi Lu.

So whether Xie Ke likes this child, Qi Lu also praised him in private. said that Zhou Ziqiu gave birth to a good son...... Fortunately, today the child decided to speak, but let Xie Ke put down the stone in his heart. Such a smart child is actually easy to go down the wrong path, because in his heart, good and evil do not seem to be so important.

A clear conscience is what he cares about.

Today's words can be regarded as a crucial lesson for this child.

I only hope that Zhou Jun can really be as he said, not inferior, not cynical, and grow up smoothly. "Thank you for mentioning Jun'er, Jun'er went down to accompany Miss."

Xie Ke nodded, and watched Zhou Jun slowly walk towards the courtyard.

In fact, Zhou Jun was favored by Qi Lu, and planned to take him by his side to teach, and finally help his daughter Mingyue...... Qi Lu knew that they might not have a chance to have children in this life.

This Yecheng is governed, Qi Lu is naturally unwilling to give it back to the court, and after a hundred years of their husband and wife, this stall will be handed over to their daughter.

Instead of thinking about finding a powerful husband for his daughter, Qi Lu hopes to put everything in the hands of his daughter. He didn't want to pamper his daughter in the boudoir, in Qi Lu's opinion, his Qi Lu's daughter should be a heroine among women.

It's just that it can really be as Qi Law Firm wishes? Xie Ke smiled bitterly...... Mingyue is more than a year old, and now she can walk steadily, call her father, and occasionally pop out a few characters from her mouth. It's just that Xie Ke looked left and right, and felt that her daughter's temperament followed her, and she didn't seem to be interested in dancing and playing with swords, but she couldn't put down the tricks she painted, and often pulled her embroidery thread to get carried away.

Such a character, in the future?

Let's take one step at a time. For now, let's focus on Yecheng first......

Xie Ke didn't know what the afternoon's work had done, Qi Lu had discussed with Lin Changyuan, but he only knew that in the evening of that night, several secret guards took Qi Law to write a letter and left the Qi Mansion.

Qi Lu came back with a smile and accompanied Xie Ke's mother and daughter to dinner, after the meal, Yuhui served the tea, and hurriedly withdrew in Qi Lu's obscure gaze, and Qi Lu picked up the tea with satisfaction. "Sister Bao, this tea is good."
