Contrary to the elated crowd, Wang Hai and Yuan Tao were indeed worried.

This time, they saw the difficulties of the imperial court, the Sichuan envoys, and the financial resources of Changzhou and the county government.

In order to distribute money to the people, even the new county order has embezzled the funds used for disaster relief and water conservancy repair, and it can be said that the new county has been exhausted.

In order not to put pressure on Liu Ang, Wang Hai and Yuan Tao came to Liu Ang, the county to wait.

However, the porter said that Liu Xiancheng was very busy now and did not have time to meet them.

Wang Hai and Yuan Tao were extremely disappointed, glanced at each other, saluted Liu Xiancheng, who was busy indoors, and then sighed and were about to leave.

Seeing that Wang Hai and Yuan Tao were about to leave, the porter stepped forward and shouted, quietly revealing a message that there was still an emergency money in the county, but this was the last money in Changyuan County, and it was used in an emergency at a critical moment.

The porter also vaguely revealed that the prince and filial piety are very good, and he should be admitted to the Tianjia class as the first place.

Yuan Tao was furious, shook his sleeves, and left angrily.

Wang Hai frowned, glanced at the porter, and the porter raised his head and looked at the blue sky.

Wang Hai sighed and left.

Siji Sima Shuan saw Wang Hai's dejected appearance, and after waiting for everyone to leave, he whispered in his ear, looked at the back of Yuan Tao, who had already gone away, and nodded.

The next day, Yuan Qian, who had painted his eyebrows and changed into new clothes, quietly came to Yuan Tao's study.

Who knew that Yuan Tao, who had just returned home, was in the study, and there was a "bang" sound, and when he went in, he saw that the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk were all swept to the ground.

Yuan Qian hurriedly stepped forward to give Yuan Tao a slap on the back, and asked gently: "The officials have worked hard, why are you so angry today?" ”

Yuan Tao ignored her, pulled his beard with his hand, as if he didn't notice the pain, looked at the direction of the county school and said, "Insult Sven, insult Sven." ”

Seeing that Yuan Tao ignored him, Yuan Qian bent down, carefully picked up his calligraphy and pen, ink and inkstone, and then carefully folded it on the desk.

Yuan Tao was still puzzled, and pointed his finger in the direction of Wang Hai's residence: "A copper smell, a copper smell." ”

Yuan Qian hurriedly closed the door of the study, and then asked softly: "What happened to the official, tell the slave family, and say that it may not be able to share your worries?" ”

Yuan Tao seemed to have just seen Yuan Qian's at this time, and said hatefully: "Don't come up with those useless bad ideas." ”

Seeing that Yuan Qian's face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't bear it, and said, "Wang Hai just wants the old man to think of raising five hundred yuan." The old man is a scholar, he only knows how to teach and educate people, how to raise these five hundred? ”

Yuan Qian was speechless when he heard this, the officials had never been under such pressure, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "How much did Professor Wang raise himself?" ”

Yuan Tao looked at the direction of Wang Hai's residence again and said, "He is eight hundred guan, but for him, it is not too difficult." The students in the yellow character class he opened were mainly the children of wealthy merchants. ”

Yuan Tao looked at the direction of the county school, and then said: "The disciples of the old man are mainly based on academic performance, how to raise these five hundred yuan?" ”

When Yuan Qian heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It is indeed much more difficult for an official than Professor Wang. Isn't there a plan in the government? ”

Yuan Tao shook his head, pointed to the direction of Tongchuan Mansion and Jiading, was a little desperate, then looked back at Yuan Qianshi and said: "Now that the Great Song Dynasty and the Hu people are fighting fiercely, the imperial court, Sichuan Road, Changzhou and the county's financial resources are tight, and the new county has even embezzled the money for disaster relief and water conservancy in order to distribute the money. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Tao sighed.

"Alas, this matter is actually related to the favorite disciple Zhao Ping you mentioned. The county gatekeeper hinted that if the prince and the Tianjia class were hired, an emergency amount of money could be considered. It's just that Zhao Ping is a disciple below, how can he bend his waist for five buckets of rice? ”

Yuan Qian was taken aback for a moment and said, "Then what does Professor Wang mean, he is the same as the prince and the same clan?" ”

Yuan Tao waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Wang Hai is a person who wants to save face, and he is also a person who does what he says. The porter's move was completely slapping Wang Hai in the face, so that Wang Hai could bear it. ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Tao also showed a smile.

Besides, Zhao Ping is indeed talented, which makes Wang Hai love talent. Only talented people can enter the Tianjia class, which is the cornerstone of the continuous progress of the county school in recent years. The concierge's move shook the foundation of the county school, not to mention the old man? ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Tao let out a long sigh.

Yuan Qian's face suddenly relaxed, and he tapped Yuan Tao's forehead with his finger, and said to Yuan Tao: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." Officials have read books for decades, but they have read them in vain? ”

Yuan Tao suddenly showed a happy look on his face, put down the tea bowl with both hands, grabbed Yuan Qian's right hand and asked, "Madame has a good way?"

Yuan Qian frowned, showed a painful expression, and said, "You pinched me." ”

Yuan Tao hurriedly let go of his hand, rubbed his hands and asked, "Madam, will Ji An's out?" ”

Yuan Qian's left hand gently stroked his right wrist, and then glanced at Yuan Tao before saying, "The answer is in your disciple." ”

Yuan Tao was taken aback, shook his hands and said, "This plan doesn't work." I haven't thought about this method yet. However, first, this money is indeed too much, and Zhao Ping may not be able to accept it. Second, Zhao Pingyi paid taxes according to the regulations. Third, he is young and sad, and it is said that he also supports many homeless tenants, and he is quite compassionate. Fourth, if he lowers the price of rice in the county, there must be a lot of losses. ”

Yuan Qian glanced at him again, nodded and said, "Okay, okay." The slave family knows that you are a manly husband, how can you lose your gentlemanly demeanor, how can you get the smell of copper, how can you insult Sven? Who made a little girl in a slave family as difficult to raise as a villain? These little things that smell copper and insult Sven, let the slave family do it. ”

Yuan Tao's old face couldn't help but blush, and his face turned to look at the window, and a peach blossom was blooming outside the window, which made him suddenly feel like a painting.

He sighed, spread out the paper, took the paintbrush, and began to paint the peach blossoms.

Yuan Qian was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and said, "Official, the slave family suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, I don't know if the official is willing to hear it?" ”

Yuan Tao put down the brush, looked up at his wife, and said, "As long as it's not too much, of course it's okay." ”

Yuan Qian pondered for a while and said: "The text carries the Tao, it is better to let the county students come to a literary competition, and the lottery is part of the copper coins raised." Then, select the best articles and engrave them into a plate, which can be stored in the library. In this way, the county school and the government have the effect of education, and they have gained more confidence and face. Besides, that favorite disciple of yours is so brilliant that he might not be able to win the jackpot. What do the officials think? ”

Yuan Tao pondered for a while, then patted the desk lightly and said, "Madame, this plan is also clever." ”

Looking at the back of Yuan Qian's family going out with Yahuan, Yuan Tao couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know if it was correct to let his wife go out to raise money from Zhao Ping, in fact, in his heart, there was not much difference from the monk's fate.

Then Yuan Tao didn't stop drawing, but when Yuan Tao finished painting, he suddenly found that he had drawn a picture of a monk's fate, the location was in front of the gate of Zhao Ping's uncle's house, and there was a big dog in front of the gate that kept barking at the monk, and the door was not open.

But the monk drove away the big dog with a bowl in one hand and a stone in the other, but his eyes were fixed on the gate, waiting for his master to open it.

Yuan Tao was taken aback, he originally wanted to paint the peach blossoms in spring, but he unknowingly drew a picture of the monk's fate, and the monk's appearance became more and more familiar.

Yuan Tao looked at it carefully, isn't this his wife?

It seems that his mood has seriously affected his mood, and he is not in the mood to paint peach blossoms at all.

Frustrated, Yuan Tao put the brush on the pen stand, not in the slightest mood to paint again, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and couldn't help but worry about his wife in his heart.

Indeed, like Yuan Tao's painting, Yuan Qian's family also came to Zhao Ping's uncle Li Yueqiu's residence with a nervous mood, but Yuan Qian's family did not hold a bowl, let alone a vicious dog barking, and his uncle, aunt, mother and Zhao Ping came to open the door respectfully and enthusiastically.

After all, Yuan Tao is not only Zhao Ping's teacher, but also his uncle's teacher.

After some words came and went, when Zhao Ping heard that the county's financial resources were in difficulty, and the new county had embezzled water conservancy and disaster relief funds in order to distribute the money, he could no longer sit still.

Zhao Ping walked around the case a few times, and couldn't help but ponder, he didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty Caiyuan would be so difficult, far more than his own appearance, which aroused the curiosity and surprise of his mother, uncle, aunt and even Yuan Qian.

For Xizi, an immortal disciple, his mother has long been surprised, but his uncle, aunt, and Yuan Qian are excited to see Zhao Ping for the first time, and their eyes are full of strange looks.

When the mother heard that Liu Ang, the county prince, had returned to the prince to suppress Zhao Ping, her right hand was clenched into a fist, and her eyes were full of anger.

Zhao Ping immediately said: "Master, please rest assured, all the five hundred yuan of money from Zhaojiazhuang are out, and another hundred immortal soap will be given to the county school as a subsidy for the county school literary competition." ”

Yuan Qian, who got his wish, expressed his gratitude on behalf of Yuan Tao.

Uncle and aunt looked at all this in front of them dumbfounded, rubbed their eyes, five hundred times, their net profit in a year is not so much!

The aunt looked at Zhao Ping, and then at her daughter Li Hanmei, remembering her daughter's willfulness some time ago, and couldn't help but sigh.

When he heard that the strict master had difficulty raising his son due to his old age, Zhao Ping had an idea and pulled his mother's sleeve.

The mother couldn't help but wonder, knowing what the hell Zhao Ping was going to come up with?

Zhao Ping whispered beside his mother for a while, and took out three stamped pieces of paper, which not only had a "VIP pick-up card", but also marked the amount as one or two silver, and marked that he relied on this "VIP pick-up card".

It can buy goods with a price of one or two silver (about two and five copper coins) in Zhao's workshop, and the VIP pick-up card can enjoy a nine-percent discount, and there are strings of heavenly peach charms that the mother can't recognize (in fact, they are Arabic numerals, of course this sharp-eyed Cuizhu and Lan'er recognize).

Of course, this is also one of Zhao Ping's anti-counterfeiting logos.

In the gratitude of his wife Yuan Qian, and in the envy of his aunt, he got two pick-up cards respectively, and he could pick up the goods directly at Zhao's workshop at any time.

Yuan Qian's came cautiously and uneasily with Yahuan and three truckloads of goods, and returned with all his heart!

Contrary to Yuan Qian's happy return, his aunt's face was tense and her expression was very unhappy.

The mother waited until Yuan Qian's back disappeared, and then beckoned to Li Hanmei and said, "Mei'er has worked hard these days, and the girl has nothing good to give you, so I'll give you a VIP pick-up card." ”

Li Hanmei happily took it, and before she could say thank you, the pick-up card was robbed!
