Article 252 Post-Disaster
"Let's go inside!" Song Shenzong rudely interrupted Cai Dao's words, bowed his head to Zeng Gong, and strode inward.
Behind him was actually followed by his little rival, the crown prince Zhao of Yan'an County, which was something that Cai Dao could never have imagined no matter what.
How did Song Shenzong rescue this kid from Empress Xiang's clutches? After Gao Taotao found out, what was his reaction?
Of course, there is no way to know about these Cai Dao.
However, he knew very well now that there was still a topic about Concubine Lin Xian, so he could only stop there.
Everyone has already moved in, can Cai Dao and Zeng Gong still be able to drive his beloved concubine out in front of Song Shenzong?
But the trouble is in Lin Xianfei alone, not only because she is not pregnant and has pox, but also because, with her arrival, the Cai Academy is going to drive people out for the first time.
After entering, Cai Dao and Zeng Gong combined, just because of Concubine Lin Xian, the pregnant concubine, among the seven masters, Zeng Gong and Cai Laoru were fine, but it was very inappropriate for the other five students and the craftsmen who came to teach the children to continue to live here.
I had to send them away first. The master was brought forward by Cai Laoru, and the expenses required by the master to rent an inn outside were borne by Cai Dao, and the craftsmen were personally brought forward by Cai Dao, after all, these people were invited back by him.
Fortunately, these people's homes were in Bianliang City, and they also understood Cai Dao's difficulties, but before leaving, these craftsmen made a request, that is, to leave their children here. Cai Dao only agreed to half of their requests, and girls were fine, but boys, who were over fifteen years old, must not stay here. Without the control of their parents, who knows what big things will happen to this group of bear children.
Fortunately, Cai Dao did not admit boys over the age of seven in the first place, so he avoided the embarrassment of his students being kicked out this time.
……
In this way, although the official refuted the rumors, there were still many important ministers who sent their children to the Cai Academy.
Fortunately, there are two great gods, Zhao Maid, a little adult, and Concubine Lin Xian, who live here, even if Wang Qi and Cai Qu's grandson come, he has to clamp his tail and be a man. Otherwise, without Cai Dao's hands at all, Zhao Maid alone would be able to clean up these little overlords in the family.
And after Cai Dao gave all the children, palace maids and eunuchs pox, he finally went to the nursery school, and Imperial Doctor Tian couldn't cope with so many patients alone.
As a result, in mid-September of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Concubine Lin Xian gave birth to a son smoothly.
This small plague is over.
In and around Cai's School, all the shacks built outside the outer walls and lived there, there was not a single child infected with smallpox. Of course, it's not that no one wants to fish in muddy waters and throw a child who has already contracted smallpox here,
However, Song Shenzong not only sent additional forbidden army handles at all intersections leading to here, but also sent imperial doctors to check the people passing by at various intersections, and all those with suspected symptoms were isolated first, and if they were not found to be infected with smallpox afterwards, they would be released. This also puts an end to all the sinister intentions of the bad guys.
The situation at the nursery school is mixed, with many infected people being cured and not being cured. However, most of them delayed the time for medical treatment, and Cai Dao himself was unable to recover.
Fortunately, this is not the future generations, Langzhong, especially Langzhong, who can cure this disease, is even more scarce, and naturally there is no soil for medical trouble. Cai Dao doesn't have to worry that a family member will suddenly come out and stab himself.
……
In this way, from the end of the autumn of the sixth year of Yuanfeng to the first day of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
Cai Dao finally spent the year peacefully.
In the entire Great Song Dynasty, there was no major breach of the Yellow River, and some small disasters and famines occurred in individual areas, and the local government itself could deal with it reasonably, without letting the bad situation spread, and on the whole it could be regarded as a smooth wind.
However, due to Cai Dao's plan to secretly store wealth for the people, there was a bumper grain harvest, and the grain reserves in the state treasury did not increase by a large margin, but tended to decrease gradually. However, the ministers in the court were temporarily blinded by the illusion of a good harvest, and no one noticed the possible hidden dangers.
In fact, Cai Dao knew very well in his heart that the days he spent in Bianliang City were numbered. Therefore, in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, when Cai's Academy enrolled students, Cai Dao not only charged a registration fee of ten cents per child, but also conducted a test accordingly.
Of course, Cai Dao will not test the literary skills of these children who come to sign up, and such children will hardly go to his school to sign up, and Cai Dao sets up a test project, boys mainly see whether they can work, and girls see whether they can cook.
It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, but the ability of this master is still different, and besides, Cai Dao recruits new students at a very young age. Therefore, even though the number of applicants was tens of thousands, he only enrolled 1,000 boys and girls in the end.
Of course, Cai Dao will not be like Bianliang Primary School, all children who sign up and are not admitted can not only understand the registration fee, but also have a meal, those girls cook, anyway, Cai Dao can't eat. But these poor people don't care about this, they don't spend a penny, they can eat a meal that doesn't cost money. Compared with Bianliang Primary School, this 'fortune boy' who has been silent for a year is really kind!
This is the truest thought in the minds of parents who bring their children to sign up.
Besides, those children who have been studying in Cai's School for more than two years, through such a long period of study, except for the Chinese New Year and the birthday of the children's parents, Cai Dao will release these out of the school, and the rest of the time has been a closed education.
Although these children are not very old, after such a long time of study and exercise, at least from the perspective of their body shape and bearing, these seven to nine-year-old children are different from ordinary people.
At this age, girls generally grow faster than boys, so they tend to be taller than men of the same age.
Anyone who has seen these girls from Cai's Academy may not be able to smell the smell of any books from them. But the first impression these girls give to others, including their parents, is that they are clean and tidy, and they respond appropriately, especially when they do it, very neatly. Such a young child, cooking the family's meals, not only does not need the help of her parents, but is more profitable than her mother's work. The resulting meal is simple, but very tasty.
If you want these outsiders to find the shortcomings, it may be that when these children speak, their voices are louder and more straightforward than ordinary girls. What surprised these parents was that some of their daughters, who were originally shy and shy when they saw people, returned to them, not only were they not afraid of people, but some of them actually became little peppers, and they were very good at talking and doing things.
The boys were all burly, standing and sitting, and they looked taller than those of thirteen or fourteen-year-olds. Of course, this is not a genetic mutation, and Cai Dao does not have this ability, mainly because these children have received a lot of nutrients required by their bodies at the stage of growing their bodies, while those boys outside are naturally not so completely developed due to malnutrition.
Naturally, their parents and neighbors were not able to test their homework, but they knew that their children could write and write, and that's it.
However, some parents found that these children's ability to settle accounts is very strong, especially in the families of several merchants, after their sons returned home, their parents were shocked to find that their son's ability to settle accounts was not much worse than the account room or shopkeeper at home.
What's more, there are some children who can actually do mental arithmetic, such as those groceries, when the customer has just quoted the name and quantity of the things he wants to buy, and the father or shopkeeper is still pulling the abacus, the child has already blurted out the specific number. After repeated inspections, the family found that there was no penny.
