Hearing this, Zhao Xianling's eyes flashed, and he said urgently: "Quick, pass him in quickly." ”

At this moment, Zhao Zhixian's face was full of red light, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

He was a jinshi in his thirties, and he had been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, and he was just transferred to the position of the county magistrate. Officialdom is like this, you have no way to achieve political achievements, and it is basically impossible to get promoted.

Zhao Zhixian, who has no one in the DPRK, can only make political achievements during his term of office if he wants to be promoted. And now that the Japanese are ravaging Ningbo Mansion, Zhao Zhixian has ordered the city to be closed. In such a situation, if there is a problem with the supply of food, people will definitely starve to death. Paper can't contain the fire, once it is known from above, let alone promoted, even the black yarn on the head may not be guaranteed.

But now it's different, the Xu family took the initiative to donate food. As long as he receives this batch of grain as an official and distributes it in the city, and guarantees that the people under his rule will not starve to death, then he will not only have no faults, but will have merit.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhixian couldn't help but have a good impression of this Xu family.

After a short time, Xu Yan was taken to the second hall.

Before he came to the county office, he had already made a draft, so he bowed to Zhao Zhixian and said, "Xu Yan, who was born later, visited the county honor." ”

Daming treats scholars with courtesy, and Xiucai can not kneel when he sees officials with above fame.

Although Xu Yan has not yet won the fame of Xiucai, he is a student of Mr. Wu, a great Confucian, and coupled with the status of the local gentry and wealthy family of the Xu family, Xu Yan is already very respectful when he meets Zhao Zhixian in private.

Zhao Zhixian naturally had a number in his heart, and he saw him smile and say, "I heard that Xiansheng is here to donate food?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhixian was straight to the point, Xu Yan replied respectfully: "If you go back to the county, it is exactly like this." Now the Japanese are raging, and the city's reserves are tight. Later, I heard that a bucket of rice in the city had been sold for two dollars of silver, which was staggering. Mr. Wu often taught: Saints are often heartless, but take the hearts of the people as their hearts. The good one, I am good; Those who are not good, I am also good, and virtuous are good. Whoever believes, I believe; Those who do not believe, I also believe in it, and I believe in virtue. The saint is in the world, and the people are all paying attention to their ears and eyes, and the saints are all children. Although he was not talented in his later years, he also wanted to do something for the parents and villagers in Dinghai County. My father always taught, the old, and the old; The young of me, and the young of man. Therefore, he was willing to donate 3,000 stones of rice on behalf of the Xu Mansion. ”

Xu Yan's words were impassioned, and Zhao Zhixian naturally enjoyed listening to them.

Of course, his focus fell on last.

Three thousand stones, Xu Yan actually wants to donate a full three thousand stones!

Even if Zhao Zhixian is extremely deep, he can't help but be overjoyed.

Three thousand stone of rice is enough for the whole county to eat for a month.

Xu Yan really relieved him and Dinghai County's urgent need!

"Good, good, good!"

Zhao Zhixian said three good words in a row, took a deep breath and continued: "Xiansheng is so knowledgeable about the overall situation, and he has such a righteous act in times of crisis, which is worthy of being from a famous family." This county is very relieved, this county is very relieved! ”

Zhao Zhixian now looks at how Xu Yan sees and how he likes it. This is not just because of Xu Yan's act of donating food, but because he was able to say such righteous words at a young age. Although these words were the first to be said by the saint, it was so appropriate to say it again from Xu Yan's mouth.

What is even more commendable is that this son is only fourteen or fifteen, his vision is so high, his mind is so broad, and his future will be limitless in time.

At this moment, Zhao Zhixian had the idea of cherishing talents in his heart, and said lightly: "Old Master Wu is a local Confucian, and the virtuous student has to follow his old man to study hard." ”

"Late students must follow the teachings of the county."

Xu Yan said very respectfully.

"Xiansheng hasn't picked up the word yet, has he?"

"Back to the county, the late life has not been crowned, and the word has not been taken."

"Well, that's right. If this county gives you words now, will the virtuous students be willing? ”

Zhao Zhixian laughed in harmony.

When Xu Yan heard this, his heart was excited.

Men are crowned with twenty, and generally at this time they will be given by the elders, who are usually the division commanders.

But this is not absolute, sometimes it is okay for the elders to give words in advance when they are in a good mood.

Zhao Zhixian offered to give Xu Yan words, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.

You must know that this is equivalent to Zhao Zhixian recognizing Xu Yan as a protégé.

Of course, because of Zhao Zhixian's special status, he can't directly be Xu Yan's teacher. Xu Yan's nominal teacher is still Old Master Wu.

But with the relationship of Zhao Zhixian, it will be of great help to Xu Yan in the future imperial examination.

How could Xu Yan refuse?

"Respect the order of the elder, dare not obey?"

"Good!"

Zhao Zhixian smiled. This posterity is really interesting.

I saw him groaning while twisting his beard. After a long time, he said in a harmonious voice: "Speaker, doctrine also, doctrine is established, how about the time when the county sees the virtuous students?" ”

I have to say that Zhao Zhixian still has some knowledge, and this word is extremely ingenious.

Xu Yan immediately responded: "Student Xie Xianzun gave the word." ”

Zhao Zhixian bowed slightly, smiled but did not speak.

Both parties are well aware of this, and Xu Yan's acceptance of Zhao Zhixian's gift is to recognize the relationship between master and apprentice.

Be a man, pay attention to courtesy.

Come and don't be rude.

Xu Yan took the initiative to donate 3,000 stones of grain to solve Zhao Zhixian's urgent need, and Zhao Zhixian certainly had to give back to show it.

His expression can't be too vulgar and too coppery, and accepting Xu Yan as a protégé is the best choice.

Of course, this relationship is relatively obscure, and outsiders will not even know about it. But as long as Zhao Zhixian and Xu Yan knew in their hearts, it was enough.

Of course, Xu Yan will not be stupid enough to brag everywhere, after all, this bond can help him go further in his career at a critical moment.

"Oh, county honor, the student has already asked someone to transport the rice and grain outside the yamen, and the teacher can send someone to receive it later."

"Yes."

Zhao Zhixian replied: "Although the Japanese are ferocious, as long as the people of Dinghai County are united, I can't take advantage of the Japanese robbers." ”

He paused, and then continued: "This year's county test has been postponed because of the Japanese crisis, but it will not be canceled." You have to study hard, and you must get a good score in the exam. Don't let the county down. ”

A wise man always speaks to the point.

Xu Yan naturally knows the meaning of elegance by hearing the sound of the strings.

You must know that the chief examiner of the county exam is the county order, as long as Xu Yan can pass the exam, Zhao Zhixian will definitely let him pass.

Of course, Xu Yan will definitely do his best to take the test, after all, the better the results of the county exam, the higher the impression score will be in the government exam. If you can get the first exam, basically the government exam is equivalent to being escorted.

"Students follow the teachings of the county. I will do my best to prepare for the exam and live up to the expectations of the county. ”

Xu Yan said to Zhao County's order.
