Chapter 222: Compassion for the Orphans and the Poor

Hearing this, Zhang Lu already tasted a little bit of taste. Seeing that Zhang Shou suddenly stopped, as if he was testing them, he said thoughtfully: "Let these people use the new textile machine, these people should know whether the new textile machine is easy to use, as long as they are used to it, they will definitely realize that this thing is easy to use, and it is absolutely inseparable from their hands!" ”

Zhang Shou smiled and agreed with Zhang Lu's guess: "That's right, then, as long as you leak out a little news, for example, where did this new textile machine come from, someone will definitely be moved." Then, let the inventor of the new textile machine sell one hundred and eighty units at a high price to those wronged bosses, naturally. ”

Zhang Lu only felt that it was all as he guessed, but he still couldn't help asking: "If that's the case, what about the spinners you said before who use old spinning machines?" "If you don't consider these people, why did Zhang Shou say anything like pulling the whole body before? According to his understanding of Zhang Shou, the other party has always been biased towards the poor.

"Don't worry, that's what you have to do later. I know you don't have any money on hand, so I don't need to ask for money from your family, I still have it here. Seeing that the two of them hurriedly wanted to refuse, Zhang Shou smiled, hooked his hand to signal Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to come closer, and then whispered to them what the specific requirements of the weaving and dyeing workshop they wanted to buy. Seeing that they nodded repeatedly, he gently patted them on the shoulder.

"That's it, when you go back, let the news out! By the way, don't forget to listen to Yu Xiaozhu's side. Seeing that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, who were still happy just now, immediately showed hesitation, Zhang Shou said casually, "Don't worry, yesterday when I and the emperor were boring, he also laughed at me for singing to the sky when the beauty was dancing." ”

"And Yingying also peeked at the summary of the peach blossom fan written by Twelve Rain that she got from Tingyu Xiaozhu from Tingyu Xiaozhu." Zhang Shoucai would not say that the Queen Mother didn't know what the villain book in Zhu Ying's hand was, seeing that the brothers looked at each other, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then added, "If you are worried that someone will gossip, I will ask Lu Sanlang and Wei Nanbo to talk about it, and ask Twelve Rain to come out." ”

As he spoke, he added with a smile: "Of course, I will let Yingying go and talk to Princess Deyang about this matter, and I won't let them feel that you are going to have fun." ”

With these words, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were relieved. When the three of them came out of the gate of the blacksmith shop, Zhang Shou saw Ah Liu sitting on stilts, with a piece of grass in his mouth, and he looked bored, no different from an ordinary young man, and he couldn't tell that the emperor gave him a master with a higher salary than him, and he couldn't help but feel delicate.

Even if the emperor said that 100 times a month was compensation for him, he preferred to believe that the emperor felt that Ah Liu was worthy of that high salary.

After a moment of distraction, he opened his mouth and asked, "Ah Liu, have the guards sent by the Zhao Guogong Mansion all arrived now?" In the Xiao family? ”

Ah Liu nodded very simply and directly, and then asked, "Do you want to transfer two people over here?" ”

"Hmm." This time, Zhang Shou mumbled vaguely. Seeing that Ah Liuer jumped out of the car without saying a word, and walked quickly to the next door, Zhang Shou beckoned to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and after entering the courtyard, he saw two guards who were quite capable at a glance come out to salute, and then went to the next door without saying a word, and Xiao Cheng ran towards him in the main room, and nodded at people with a smile.

"Brother Zhang!" Maybe it's because his first impression of Zhang Shou is very good, even if he learns that Ah Liu, who was stunned when he saw him, turned out to be Zhang Shou's personal companion, Xiao Cheng still felt that Zhang Shou was very kind. At this time, he habitually extended his title to Zhu Tingfang to Zhang Shou, and after rushing out of the room quickly, he straightened his chest and said, "I memorized the three hundred capitals of Tang poems!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Shou almost didn't care about the little guy these days, and smiled at this time, "Can you recognize so many words?" Do you know what it means? ”

Xiao Cheng suddenly drooped his head and whispered: "It was all taught to me by those uncles in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, they know how to read...... But they couldn't say exactly what it meant, so I just memorized it. ”

Zhang Shou suddenly asked, "Then do you want to find a learned teacher to teach you?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng screamed without thinking, but then said sullenly, "But I don't have any money...... I don't want to spend any more money on Brother Zhu's family! ”

"But have you ever thought about it, in fact, even if you live here, instead of living in Zhao Guogong's Mansion, your food and clothing are all from the Zhu family? Even if the money left by your eldest brother Zhu is from the Zhu family? Zhang Shou asked a few words with a smile, and seeing that Xiao Cheng was speechless for a moment, he continued, "You are eight years old, if you want, I can find you a job, how about it?" ”

Xiao Cheng was suddenly overjoyed: "Great! Brother Zhang, I will do anything! ”

"There is a shortage of miscellaneous servants in the middle of the mountain hall of Guozijian, early every morning, wipe the table and clean the house, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng almost didn't jump three feet high, especially after he heard Zhang Shou's next words.

"Okay, I'll go back and say to the Great Si Cheng of the National Prison. As for the salary, I won't give you the money, I will find someone to explain 300 Tang poems to you in your spare time. Zhang Shou pointed at Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu as he spoke, and said with a smile, "These two are the future concubines and Yibin, just the two of them will take turns to tell you 300 Tang poems!" ”

What does the horse mean, Xiao Cheng, who has listened to the play, of course understands, and immediately stared at Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu with wide eyes. It wasn't until he saw that the brothers had numb scalps and hairy hearts that he smiled happily, took a step back and made a serious gesture: "I've seen two gentlemen." ”

Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were simply dumbfounded. This is the name, this generation...... That's not right! However, when they wanted to correct the title of the little guy, thinking that Zhu Er was also a student of Zhang Shou, and Zhu Ying was still talking about Grandpa Ge, the two of them gave up this plan in discouragement. But compared with Mr. Man, the two of them are the most empty-hearted.

Although these 300 Tang poems were compiled by Taizu himself and are suitable for children's enlightenment, they seem to have probably forgotten many of them. As for what these poems mean...... Hehe, they might have to go back to the book urgently!

And Zhang Shou had already observed the reactions of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, and immediately stepped forward to help Xiao Cheng on his behalf, so he said seriously: "There are many people in Banshan Hall who are similar to your Brother Zhu's background, since your Brother Zhu is out on the expedition and can't teach you, then, I will let them take turns to explain Tang poems to you, as a reward for you to help them clean Banshan Hall and wipe the desks and chairs." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were completely sure that those of their classmates in the Mid-Levels Hall, including Zhang Chen, were going to be unlucky! It must be known that Xiao Cheng is not an ordinary poor boy, he is a child taken in by Zhu Tingjie, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, and it is said that Mrs. Zhao Guotai almost wanted to leave someone at home as a grandson!

Children of this age, it is the easiest to ask all kinds of questions, if they say the wrong thing when talking about Tang poetry, they will be thrown directly in front of Mrs. Tai, and people will not save face for them! Gotcha, go back and read 300 Tang poems first!

For lunch on this day, Zhang Shou naturally ate at Xiao's house. In addition to Xiao Cheng and Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, there are also Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen Zhu Er, who are familiar with the way to come over and rub this meal. When Zhang Shou retold what he had just said to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, asking everyone in the Banshan Hall to take turns to explain the three hundred Tang poems to Xiao Cheng, Lu Sanlang was relieved, Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, and Zhu Er was ......

After directly finding an excuse to break Xiao Cheng, Zhu Er wailed: "I said brother-in-law, can't you teach him as Dr. Guozi?" Why should we be on? I've long forgotten all my Tang poems...... Belch! ”

Seeing Zhang Shou looking at him unkindly, when he thought of the consequences of this word reaching his grandmother and mother, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, good, I will go and review the three hundred Tang poems in the future, isn't this okay?" ”

"Remember, children have a lot of questions, you have to think about everything you can think of, don't be asked. And he doesn't necessarily just ask about the songs you tell him every day, but maybe something else. Don't let him feel that you are too far away from him Brother Zhu. ”

But we and Zhu Tingfang are not the same kind of people! We were already far from him!

Even Lu Saburo couldn't help but muttered so much in his stomach. But after all, he was glad that he was from the Jiuzhang Hall and not the Banshan Hall, so he was much luckier than the others to be able to escape this catastrophe. But immediately after, his gloating mind was completely gone.

"Lu Sanlang, I told Mr. Ge that I am going to write a series of nature books recently, so I can't spare time for the time being. Those basic math parts, you teach me a good lesson Xiao Cheng. The first volume of the new edition was compiled with Ge's arithmetic. Don't talk about it as fast as in Jiuzhangtang, he is an eight-year-old child after all, be patient and teach slowly. ”

At this moment, even Lu Saburo couldn't help but complain. Brother Zhu, come back safely, I can't take care of the child for you!

Of course, Zhang Shou knew that most of the noble disciples in Banshan Hall were not good at learning, but he believed that it would be okay to go back urgently to review the three hundred Tang poems and tell Xiao Cheng, a child, about it. As for Lu Sanlang, teaching people mathematical enlightenment at the level of a little fat man is already completely overkill, so there is no need to worry about it.

It is not so much that he arranged this to teach Xiao Cheng's children, but rather to spur these prisoners from rich backgrounds.

Compared with the Banshan Hall, which has a complex staff, Jiuzhang Hall is still promoting the curriculum step by step. In just over a month, the course has already reached the level of one-dimensional two-dimensional equations, and is entangled in factorization. Therefore, Zhang Shou has time to assign a lot of classroom exercises after the explanation, and then take time to write about his basic physics on the podium while others are meditating.

Undoubtedly, he did not intend to introduce any planetary theory first, but intended to start with various physical phenomena and gradually delve into Newtonian mechanics. For most people in these days, this should be the most acceptable thing.

And Guozijian Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye have been in a mess for the past two days, and there is a horse and two honor guests in the mid-mountain hall, which is actually not a big deal, but colleagues in the DPRK and China often sneer in front of them, and some people even rub their hands and criticize Zhang Shou for favoritism and partiality when they have nothing to do, they connived and ignored it, how can these two real bigwigs in the Guozijian not have a headache?

However, the emperor summoned them over again after the early dynasty, and threw out a series of issues mentioned by Zhang Shouti, including the class system, and they were naturally overwhelmed. Even when discussing and discussing in private, they have to admit that most of them are indeed feasible, but they still can't help but feel that Zhang Shou is troublesome.

After all, at their age, with this seniority, everything is about stability and peace, and the most annoying thing is change. Even if it's just a half-mountain hall that they used to have a weak heart and don't have the patience to manage at all, that's the same!

Therefore, when Zhang Shou came to the doctor's hall at noon on this day and bluntly proposed to recruit a handyman in the mid-mountain hall, Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye had not yet spoken, and among the other doctors, Yang Yiming, who was the oldest in the management hall and had always been like a cannonball, couldn't help it.

"There is a fixed number of miscellaneous servants in the country, Dr. Zhang, even if you want to install a private person, you shouldn't take a fancy to this small shortage of miscellaneous servants, right? A month is just that little money, you have to keep an eye on? ”

Zhang Shou said unhurriedly: "Since you also said that you are just a small handyman, then you should know that I have installed a private person in the Guozijian, who will believe it?" I just saw a poor child whose parents were dead but abandoned by his relatives, so I planned to let him do some chores in Mid-Levels Hall, be self-reliant, and not need to be paid. ”

Yang Yiming was originally jealous of Zhang Shou for being young but sacred, but now his official position is higher than himself, even if he has eaten Pai Xuan in front of Zhang Shou several times before, and even made a fool of himself in front of the emperor. But after stopping for the past few days, seeing that the emperor didn't do anything to him, he reverted to his old ways, and he didn't give up at the moment: "Since you don't want to be paid, what are you doing by putting people in the country!" ”

"An eight-year-old child, what do you say?" Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows angrily, and said sarcastically, "What's more, Guozijian is a place for teaching and educating people, and there are no secrets, could it be that Dr. Yang has something to see that he is afraid of being spied on?" ”

"Dr. Zhang, don't spew blood!" Yang Yiming was shocked and angry, "I just can't get used to seeing you do my own thing......"

"How did I go my own way? An eight-year-old child whose parents have died, wants to do some chores within his power in the mid-levels hall on his own, in exchange for those inmates to teach him to read, what a good thing to motivate Xiang Xue, how did it get into your mouth, but it became an ulterior motive? ”

Zhang Shou didn't bother to pay attention to the old stubbornness as he spoke, and went straight to Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye and said: "Da Sicheng, Shao Sicheng, this is not simply compassion for the orphans and the poor, this child's parents are both dead......

He roughly introduced Xiao Cheng's life experience, and then said calmly: "If it is according to the relationship with the Zhu family, he is barely a relative of the Guogong Mansion, and it is okay to come to the Guozijian to visit and hang out, but I want this child to be self-reliant, and I want to give a little encouragement to those prisoners in the Mid-Levels Hall. ”

Seeing Yang Yiming's pale face, Zhou Saijiu said excitedly: "It's up to you!" Even if he refuses this kind of trivial matter, Zhang Shou can do it in a different way, but he still has to carry a harsh reputation, why bother? Hey, caring for the orphans and the poor is a gentleman's behavior!
