Hearing that the upstart of the imperial court and the Marquis of Zhongwu were coming, the Jiang family was busy up and down, and several leading figures of the Jiang family and the outstanding juniors came over to mingle with Jiang Xin.

After some greetings, Jiang Wan led Jiang Liu to his study.

"Gongyan, I actually came to the door this time to ask for someone."

"But you want to exchange it for silver? This is no problem, now that the drought has been followed by a locust plague, food is an extremely rare thing, and many families are willing to change it. ”

Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "No, I want to buy grain." ”

"Why?"

Jiang Wan remembered the person opposite who bought grain only to exchange for silver, and he still remembers this kind of anecdote.

"Gongyan, do you guess how many people are in Jiangzuo City now?"

"Ten guards, at least ten people are left in Jiangzuo City, according to the normal ratio of 1:25 or 1:50 to the soldiers......"

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan said: "500 people? ”

"It's low."

"Is it 1,000?" Jiang Wan's tone was a little incredible, he had the impression that Jiangzuo City was just a small fiefdom, how could there be so many people?

The terrain of the Jiang family manor is very good, and the natural defense also makes it more closed, and there is no timely update on the flow of displaced people caused by the drought.

"It's 7000."

"How is that possible?" Jiang Wan stood up from his seat in disbelief.

Although Zhongwu County is not small in terms of geography, its cultivated land area is limited, and its population has always remained at about 30,000, and one Jiangzuo city accounts for a quarter of the county's population?

"Because of this disaster, this is also the reason why I came to the door this time, the food for 7,000 people is too large, and Jiangzuocheng's reserves can't bear it at all."

"Disaster... I understand that Dongliu must have collected a large number of displaced people in the county, which is really bold and kind-hearted. ”

"I dare not be kind-hearted."

"Nope! Not to mention that he is just kind-hearted, he is called a sage, and Brother Jiang Liu, who collected the lives of the displaced people, can also bear it. ”

"........." (well, don't boast for a few more minutes.) ）

"In fact, I also intend to take in the homeless people and do some meager efforts for the world, but it's a pity that people are light-hearted and can't do anything."

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Then Brother Gongyan is willing to come to Jiangzuo City to show his ambitions, and he has to taste what he wants?" ”

This is the second time Jiang Liu has recruited Jiang Wan, the first time he was silently rejected, what about this second time?

Jiang Wan's face was flushed, his heart was surging, and when he was about to agree, a maid walked in.

"Young master, the patriarch has already prepared a banquet, and after the young master and Hou Ye have finished discussing, they can go to the main hall to eat."

The blood was interrupted, and the sane mind reoccupied the high ground.

"Well, got it, you can afternoon first."

"Yes."

Gathering the displaced people and saving the common people is just a beautiful bubble that bursts when you poke it.

Now that the autumn harvest has passed, normally speaking, it will take the next year to plant grain again, and the food of 7,000 people is a bottomless pit, in Lingling County, no one can afford it except the imperial court, but it is not only Zhongwu County that has been affected, these 7,000 people are only a small part.

"Brother Dongliu has this mind, I naturally want to do some modest efforts, I am in charge of selling some stored grain to you, but filial piety comes first, my mother is old, and I can't travel far, so please forgive Brother Dongliu."

"........." (, how to fat four?) It's all so good, why don't you bow your head and worship? Okay, anyway, the purpose is to buy grain, and it's not unharvested. ）

"By the way, who is this kid?" Seeing that Jiang Liu was a little depressed, Jiang Wan changed the subject.

"This is the ......" was about to be introduced, Jiang Liu remembered that the name of the three characters in the Three Kingdoms was a cheap name, and he had an idea: "This is Edo, the grandson of the elders in the city, the word Conan." ”

(Amount...... How did I change my name again. ）

(Edo... Word Conan? What a strange name, word)

"Haha, it's Conan, what a handsome and cute little boy."

"Brother Gongyan is good." Conan also said hello "innocently".

"Gongyan, in fact, in addition to seeing my friends and buying food by the way, I also want you to teach Conan this time."

"No problem, our Jiang family private school is also famous in Xiangxiang, let Conan enter the Jiang family private school to study, and I will usually tutor him in his homework."

Jiang Wan's words reminded Jiang Liu, indeed, he seems to have forgotten that there is also education, and when the situation stabilizes, it will be a very good choice to set up a school.

(By the way, these days, the school is called the academy, and Jiangzuo Academy was established, and I am also the principal, oh no, it is the dean.) ）

"Brother Dongliu?"

"Oh...... That, it's not this, it's that Conan who practiced his own qi, and no one in our Jiangzuocheng understands this thing, I guess you understand, and I want you to teach him. ”

"Shhh ……”

Jiang Wan gasped, this son is so terrifying?

"Brother Dongliu, you're not kidding? He's only 7 years old, right? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe in Brother Dongliu's character, it's just that it's too shocking. ”

"Understand, then ask Brother Gongyan to help more, you just said it's okay."

“…………”

"Brother Gongyan wants to regret it? It's okay, our relationship is just a joke. ”

“…………”（mmp。 ）

"Brother Dongliu, I can't hide it, this method of practicing qi is the core secret of the family inheritance, it is a few points heavier than the sage books, and it is never passed on, I am soft-spoken, and I am really powerless."

"How about letting Conan worship you as a teacher?"

Heaven and earth are teachers, in ancient times, teachers and students are not simply teaching and learning relationship, but also have a certain personal relationship, "one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father" This sentence is not just talking.

If the words of disrespecting the teacher spread, this person's reputation will stink, so don't think about leaving in the official career.

"This ...... Yes. ”

A peerless genius who can practice qi at the age of 7, as long as he doesn't die young, don't think about it, he must be a big man in history in the future, as a teacher of this kind of person, how can he leave a mark in the history books, this kind of cheap pick-up, Jiang Wan has no reason to refuse.

"Conan, don't apprentice yet, Gongyan is the first talent in Lingling, and his fame is far and wide." As for the name of this Lingling No. 1 talent, it is naturally sealed by Jiang Liu, how to pat yourself on the back, how cool it is.

Jiang Wan's face was flushed, his face was happy, and he waved his hand and said, "Dongliu, you can't talk nonsense." ”

"Conan meets the teacher."

Jiang Wan is a person with real talent and learning, and Conan's worship is indeed sincere.

"Good, good!"

Jiang Wan said three good words in a row, he was also very happy to be able to keep Conan as an apprentice, and it was not easy to find a good student who was satisfactory these years.

"Gongyan, there are still many school-age children like Conan in Jiangzuo City, I am going to set up a Jiangzuo Academy, I wonder if you are interested in serving as the dean?"
