When he came back from fishing the day before yesterday, he found that the big head was drunk like mud by Wang Qianbu and other shop soldiers, vomiting all over the house, and the smell was disgusting, Han Xiufeng felt that Dean Gu's words during the day made sense, he couldn't just herd the sheep like this, he had to guard their crazy hearts.

Early yesterday morning, the entourage of Datou and Ji Daji who came back from Taizhou together, as well as more than 30 villagers of Hai'an, Qutang and Baimi, who felt that farming was not interesting after receiving the reward from Wanfuqiao, gathered together, let Han Bo and Tang Guozheng stare at them in the morning, teach them to read and write after lunch, and then continue to practice in the evening, and ask Dean Gu and Ren Yaen, the alternate Confucian instructor and the dean of Mingdao Academy, to tell them about the Three Kingdoms in the evening.

It's nothing to practice, they're used to it.

Listening to Dean Gu and Dean Ren say that they prefer the Three Kingdoms, knowing and writing is simply killing them, crying and calling their mothers one by one, complaining.

Han Xiufeng was unmoved, and limited them to learn to write their own names within two days, to be able to memorize the "Three Character Classic" within ten days, to be able to write a hundred big characters, and to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" within a month, if anyone can't memorize or can't write, not only will they be fined, but they will also go to Mingdao Academy to learn with those six or seven year-old students.

They have fought and fought with bandits, all of them have rough skin and thick meat, not to mention beating the palms, even if they hit the board, they are not afraid, but they are most afraid of fines, and they don't want to shake their heads and read with a bunch of children to lose that person, so they can only follow the school in frustration.

The big head couldn't stand it after studying all afternoon, and when he saw that Han Xiufeng was going out to eat and drink with Dean Gu again, he came over pitifully and begged: "Fourth brother, you spare me, I'm really not reading material!" I won't drink anymore, and if you hit me again. ”

"Yes, Master Han, look at our writing hands, I really can't learn, I can't really write." Ji Da also said with a bitter face.

The two of them went together, and a group of boys all followed suit.

A group of Qiu Babian were so honest that Dean Gu couldn't help but laugh.

How could Han Xiufeng just give up halfway, and said with a straight face: "Who am I when you are the master, I follow the law, the master, what I say is the military order, and the military order is like a mountain, do you know?" If you can't learn, you have to learn, and if you can't write well, you have to write, if anyone dares to be crooked, don't blame the master, I will let them get out! ”

Yu Qinghuai both felt funny and felt that they should be given rules, and more importantly, reading and listening to books has the benefits of reading and listening to books, especially listening to the Three Kingdoms, not only can they learn some of the art of war from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also let them know what loyalty is, seeing Han Xiufeng's straight face, he realized that he should play a white face, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Don't you don't know how to lift, and don't want to think that anyone can read a book?" ”

"Master Yu, it's not that the little one doesn't know how to lift, and the little one knows that it is a great blessing to be able to study, but the little one is really not that material!"

"Listen to me." Yu Qinghuai glared at them fiercely, and said angrily: "Most of you want to be officials, even if you can't be officials for the time being, you can do it sooner or later with the support of Master Han." When you are an official, you are an official, how do you do an illiterate official, even if you can do it, you can't do it for a long time, you know? ”

The big head was stunned, and the second-class boy of Ji Daji looked at each other and didn't dare to squeak again.

Dean Gu took over the conversation, shook his head and sighed: "You don't just don't know how to lift, but you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, you don't know Master Han's good intentions, you can't teach your son, you can't teach your son!" ”

Yang Qingyu of the old white rice group is the oldest, and he is also the most sensible among the people, seeing that Master Han is unhappy, he hurriedly said: "Master Han, the little one is confused, the little one is wrong, the little one doesn't know how to lift, and the little one doesn't dare anymore." Dean Gu, the little ones are good to learn, and the small ones are teachable? ”

"Teachable?"

"It's really teachable, the little one can already write his own name, I don't believe you're old!" Yang Qingyu hurriedly took out a large character written yesterday from his arms, and it was indeed his name, but it was written crookedly, and it seemed to be missing.

Dean Gu forced a smile and was about to encourage them a few words, when a faint sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the direction of Zhongbakou. Just thinking about what gong and drum to beat during the New Year's Festival, I saw Fang Shimei's cousin Fang Shijun and the post shop king Qianbu rushing over happily, and when they saw everyone, they shouted: "Congratulations to Master Han, congratulations to Master Han!" Congratulations to Dean Gu, congratulations to Dean Gu! Congratulations to all the lords, people from Taizhou, there is a decree in the saint! ”

"What congratulations, who came, what is the will of the Holy One?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"Lord Zhizhou is here, and he is ...... with Changsheng No, I came with Master Pan of the Yunsi Yamen, and Second Young Master Zhang also came, and Second Young Master Zhang said that they were passing on the decree, saying that you have all been promoted. The eldest lord's official ship has just docked, and my brother is welcoming several masters here! ”

"Wait, are you saying that Changsheng is here with our Taizhou Master and Second Young Master Zhang?"

"Well, he is wearing an official uniform, and he looks at the complement from the sixth grade."

Han Xiufeng was happy, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I know, Dean Gu, Master Zhang has arrived, let's go to greet him together?" ”

Dean Gu heard that he also had his share, and was about to say that they would go out to greet him, but Fang Shijun said eagerly: "Master Han, the eldest master has explained, you are waiting here, you don't have to move, they will be there immediately." ”

"The eldest master is coming, how can we not greet him."

"I really don't need to, the eldest master has really explained."

As he was talking, the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, thinking that he should be "recuperating from his injuries", thinking that there might be other people coming, Han Xiufeng realized that Zhang Zhigao and Zhang Guangcheng didn't let him go out to greet him, and threw down the sentence "Then it won't be welcomed", so he ran back to the small courtyard on the north side of the threshing floor, and was busy looking for pieces of wood to tie to his legs, and when he walked out of the yard with crutches, Zhang Zhigao and the others had already arrived.

The honor guard of the old man of Zhizhou is really majestic, some people sound gongs, some people hold "quiet" and "avoid" cards, some people hold water and fire sticks, and some people play umbrellas. Even the sedan chair was brought by boat, and he came by sedan chair for the few steps from the mouth of the dam to the threshing floor. Pan Er not only turned into a civil official from the sixth grade, but also took a sedan chair like Zhang Zhigao, and several soap subordinates from the Yunsi Yamen followed behind, holding a wooden tray in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth, and he didn't know what was under the red cloth.

"The eldest master is coming, and he will miss the distance in his late life!"

"The eldest lord came to Hai'an in person, which is the glory of my Hai'an gentry!"

"Excuse me, you guys." Zhang Zhigao got out of the sedan chair with the support of Zhang Guangcheng, in high spirits, and said with a smile while bowing his hand back: "Brother Zhixing, Dean Gu, Brother Yu, Brother Wang, Brother Li, congratulations to you, congratulations!" ”

"Why did the lord say this, why should I be happy?" Han Xiufeng limped up to him, smiling and asking knowingly.

"I can't say it now, Dean Gu, bother a few people to put the incense case first."

Just now, Fang Shijun said it clearly, saying that there is a decree in the sage, Dean Gu reacted, and hurriedly asked Yu Qinghuai and Wang Qianli to hurry up and prepare. Pan Er squeezed his eyebrows, Han Xiufeng guessed that it should be the reward of Wanfuqiao's victory, but he didn't know what the reward was, so he simply invited Zhang Zhigao and his son to the courtyard for tea.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhang Zhigao complained bitterly: "Brother Zhixing, there are people in the court who are different from others!" Is my family Guangcheng also meritorious in the victory of Wanfuqiao, and is it indispensable for Taizhou to keep me Zhang Zhigao, but those Shangguan turned a blind eye, and no one squeaked as if there was no such thing, you say that my father and son are not unlucky? ”

"Master Zhang, what do you say?"

"I inquired before I came, except for a report from the minister Qi Shan, there was no follow-up to the victory of Wanfuqiao, if it weren't for the 600 miles of Guo's urgent performance, not to mention me Zhang Zhigao, even Brother Zhixing, you would be forgotten in the same way. But Lord Guo, as the Lianghuai Transportation Division, can only protect you who help rebuild the salt fishing camp, and can only protect these gentry who help you. Not to mention that I don't have a friendship with Zhang Zhigao, even if he has a relationship, it is inconvenient for him to promote a local official like me. ”

"Only me and Dean Gu were promoted, but you were not promoted?" Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice.

"That's why there are people in the DPRK who are good officials." Zhang Zhigao sighed lightly, and then smiled again: "But I'm this age, even if there are adults who can carry this official for a few days, it's just that, don't say it." ”

Han Xiufeng beckoned him to sit down, turned his head and asked with a smile, "Changsheng, what kind of official does Lord Guo want me to promote?" ”

After entering the courtyard, Pan Er didn't dare to put up the official master's shelf anymore, and said with a smile while helping to make tea: "Fourth brother, Lord Guo promoted you as the deputy of the transport, but I didn't expect that the saint not only gave permission, but also issued an edict, which is different from the selection of the Ministry of Officials, you are now the deputy envoy of the two Huai Salt Transport Divisions specially awarded by the Qin Ci from the top belt of the five products, this is a great honor!" ”

"Brother Zhixing, our father and son will ask you to take care of me in the future." Zhang Zhigao arched his hand.

Han Xiufeng knew that Guo Peilin would not always let him be this unjustified battalion officer, but he never expected to be so promoted. Thinking that this was an official from the Wupin Imperial Court, and the top belt was given by the emperor, and the lack was specially granted by the emperor, he was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Ba County to tell his family the great news.

"My affairs with Datou and Liang Jiu, the saint also approved them, and also rewarded Master Yu, Master Wang and Master Li with seven top belts, and rewarded the dean with a pair of big purses and two pairs of small purses." Pan Er put down the teacup and said, "By the way, the Holy Lord not only rewarded you with a big purse and a small purse, but also rewarded you with one hundred and fifty taels of silver." At first, I thought that the saint was stingy, but later I realized that this was a rare honor, and Lord Guo said that the saint rarely rewarded silver, and even if it did, it would not be much. ”

So many things happened before, Zhang Guangcheng, who had no intention of going to work, wanted to go back to his hometown, and he was not very envious of these, but thinking that Han Xiufeng's official fortune was so prosperous, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhixing, you can have today not only to thank Lord Guo for help, but also to thank Old Ghost Xu, if he hadn't forced you to spend 4,000 taels to donate a top-of-the-line from the sixth grade, and to blackmail Yang Dianbang and Zhang Tingrui to let you act as my Taizhou Prefecture, even if Lord Guo has the heart to help, he can't guarantee that you will be a nine-grade inspection inspector from the fifth grade." ”
