Chapter 70: The Academy
Truman walked downstairs.
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Jinwu replied: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came over last night, and she couldn't see the adult, so she was a little angry, so she punished us for standing all night." ”
"So cruel?" Truman glanced at everyone and said, "The night has passed, so go back and rest." ”
Very actionable.
The other six people may not have heard Truman's words because they were not in a good state, but Xu Jinwu and the four of them were also surprisingly inactive.
Xu Jinwu's next words broke his doubts, and he saw his eyes wander between the third layer of the big ship and him, and then asked in an extremely skeptical tone, "My lord, can what you say count?" ”
“......”
Truman's eyes were fixed on him.
What do you mean?
"Your Excellency forgives your sins."
Xu Jinwu realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly bowed down to apologize.
Truman waved his hand, and didn't investigate the blame, but said, "Help them all to the bed and rest." ”
Xu Jinwu took the order.
Soon they were led into the house.
Truman patted Ji Zhuo's face, and the drowsy Ji Zhuo woke up.
He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked around a little dazedly before locking his gaze on Truman.
"It's my uncle...."
He muttered to himself.
"Go back to bed, the room is already arranged for you." Truman said.
He was stunned for a moment, obviously yearning for the big bed, but after glancing at where the eldest princess was, he shook his head again and said, "Uncle Xie is kind, but my aunt didn't speak, I don't dare to ......"
"Just stand."
Truman glanced at him, ignored him, and walked straight out of the big ship.
At this time, Xu Jinwu, who had just helped Yun Jianbai in, happened to hear the conversation between the two, he followed Truman's footsteps and asked puzzledly.
"Isn't it, he is also a royal relative, and he is not far from the eldest princess, so he is so afraid of the eldest princess?"
Truman looked back at Ji Zhuo and said, "He's not afraid anymore, it's fear." ”
Ji Zhuo's fear of Ji Anlan is deep in his bones, even if he continues to persuade him, Ji Zhuo will only refuse his kindness and then tell him to leave.
Xu Jinwu obviously didn't believe what Truman said so much, the prince and the eldest princess were not far apart, and they were of the same age, and they were not mortal enemies, he couldn't imagine why the former was so afraid.
Not to mention Ji Zhuo's fear, even Truman was afraid to see the eldest princess, even if their relationship was still closer.
Just from the fact that she gave him an aphrodisiac last night and wrote her name on him, Truman was inexplicably afraid.
If I hadn't broken the chain last night, and I had been tied up like that, allowing the medicinal properties of the aphrodisiac to dissipate on its own, how much damage would have been to my body.
How embarrassed he would be if he was smeared with ink by her, and walked out to be seen without knowing it.
Of course.
These are all things he knew before and after he became conscious.
What he didn't know was that during the time he was unconscious, the eldest princess still wanted to use the name engraved on his chest.
"You're not sleepy." Truman asked Xu Jinwu.
Xu Jinwu seemed to think that the former would ask like this, he smiled and said: "Not sleepy, not sleepy, when I was a thief in the past, I stepped on the spot during the day and stole at night, and sometimes in order to find a more suitable opportunity, we may even stay in the target's house for two or three days without sleeping, and we are used to it." "Beans Book City
Truman gave him a blank look, and didn't speak, just looked at the third layer of the big ship, and then looked at the sun in the distance, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"I'll go out for a walk, and you'll keep watch in the boat, and when the one above leaves, you'll call me."
Xu Jinwu thought for a moment and said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? ”
"It's her, and I probably won't be back for the next two days, you have to keep an eye on the boat."
Xu Jinwu didn't know why, but he still nodded.
He didn't know what the county magistrate thought, he wanted to ask something, but he thought that Fang had just said the wrong thing to dislike the adult, so he was silent at this time.
After the explanation, Truman had already stepped out of the big ship.
The reason why it was decided not to return to the big ship for the past two days was not only to avoid Ji Anlan, but also to avoid embarrassment when the two met.
After wandering around the empty street for a long time, he slowly walked towards the yamen.
The time can't be counted as very early, so the yamen is already standing guards.
But Wang Hongru and Li Fansheng had not yet arrived, and Truman sat in the lobby and dealt with some affairs before entering the back kitchen.
Only after he bought the ship, he rarely ate and stayed in the yamen.
I don't know if it's too tired, he is surprisingly hungry for Uncle De's steamed buns today.
I ate two cages in the back kitchen, and then walked into the lobby with two cages.
At this time, Wang Hongru and Wang Desheng had already come.
Truman was the first to see them.
"Have you eaten it?" Truman said hello.
The two of them saw Truman, and bowed respectfully before answering his words.
They all have wives, so naturally they ate early.
The lobby was solemn and solemn, and it was still okay for him to eat quietly as a county magistrate, but with two subordinates at this time, he naturally wouldn't eat anymore.
Putting the bun aside, Trumen walked straight to the lobby to take a seat.
Wang Hongru said at this time: "My lord, my subordinates have a small matter to report. ”
"Please."
"Since the adults decided to build the school a month ago, with the help of the workers and the people, the school will be completed in less than ten days." When Wang Hongru said this, his face obviously became happy.
"So fast?" Truman asked, confused.
Wang Hongru said: "My lord, it is the wish of the people to build the school, they not only help build it for free, but also take out the wood, rivets, tiles, etc. Originally, the money spent on the completion of the school was about 3,000 taels, but yesterday I calculated that the completion of this school only cost 585 taels. ”
Chumen stood up, and his heart was also moved by these people, "Take it from the people, use it for the people, since this school is built by the people, then the school will not charge them a little silver tael, Wang Hongru, you will announce it, anyone who has helped the Yamen build the school, even if he only sent a rivet and a tile, he will allow his family to enroll for free for nine years, and after nine years, the tuition fee will be halved, and those who have not helped will also be half of their tuition fee." ”
Truman also wanted to build a completely free school, the kind of school that belonged to compulsory education, but in this ancient society, it was obviously impossible to achieve.
One of the biggest reasons for this is the lack of money.
Although the yamen will collect a certain amount of taxes, most of these taxes will still be handed over to Kyoto, and he Yangzhou County Yamen will leave some, but there are very few.
Chumen didn't expect this school to make money for the yamen, but he didn't want this school to make him lose too much.
Wang Hongru immediately knelt down and said, "I thanked the people for the people. ”
Wang Desheng also knelt down.
"Let's all get up, by the way, how did Mr. Teach find?"
Wang Hongru stood up, his originally happy expression became solemn, and he sighed: "My lord, in the past month, Wang Wenwen and I have been going up and down for several nearby counties, and only found three gentlemen. ”
"So little?" Although Truman had a number in his heart, it was still a little unexpected when Wang Hongru said this number.
