Chapter Sixty-Four: Idle Fishing Lake Level

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't come over specifically to talk about tea, but since they saw it, it was just a matter of mentioning it, after the old man pushed it down, in addition to teaching others, fishing and fishing, there was really nothing to do.

"Xiaobao, it's easy to talk about tea, tell me how your house is?" The old man made a note of the tea and asked Zhang Xiaobao about Huayuan County, after all, his nephew made money there.

"It's okay, there is money in the account of the yamen there, and it won't be used up for a while, build mountains and roads, and after the autumn harvest this year, the people's lives will be much better, Grandpa Bi, in a few days, there will be some people here, and some even have official positions."

Zhang Xiaobao did not hide the affairs in the county from this old man, probably mentioned some things, and talked about the details.

The old man really listened to these reasons, and asked about the people's eating and drinking when they worked, and after understanding, he said happily: "According to this view, next year, Huayuan County may be able to become a county, the county is good, not only the position is promoted, but there are other benefits, you also listen, let's talk, what are the benefits?" ”

The old man's previous words were said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the later questions were directed to a few young people who were still standing there respectfully.

Fang just said that Zhang Xiaobao's person was talked about by the old man once, and now he heard what people said, and finally knew that he couldn't afford to provoke the two little babies, and now he was asked, and decided to show himself, so he replied first: "Lord Shangshu." ”

"The old man is no longer a scholar." The old man didn't want to hear such a title now.

"Master Bi, if you are promoted to the county, not only will the position be promoted, but the grade of the original county order will also be promoted, so that when you are promoted in the future, you can only be higher, which is the benefit." The man was quick to change his tune, emphasizing the rank of the official.

The old man nodded and shook his head, "Anything else?" Even if Zhang County Ling is not promoted to the rank of the county, he will definitely be able to have a good official position in the future, which is not important. ”

"And? There is also the county, the officials in the yamen can be equipped with knives, and the people dare not cause trouble. The man said another.

"Anything else?" The old man was a little disappointed, this person was always promoted to an official, and he didn't dare to cause trouble with the people, which was not what he wanted to hear.

The man moved his mouth in a little panic, and finally didn't say anything, the people next to him also only thought of these two points, the old man sighed, these people's minds were not on the people at all, such a person really mentioned it, and when he became an official in the future, he would be like the original Jia County Order from Sanshui County, or the Wen County Order from Huayuan County.

The old man glanced at Wang Juan and said, "Juan Juan, tell them, what are the benefits of being promoted to the county?" ”

Wang Juan nodded, "Grandpa Bi, this starts with why you can be promoted to Shangxian, Shangxian will send more money to the imperial court, it will have a large population, and there must be some places that can educate the people, such as academies, schools, and so on."

That is to say, that, to become a county, you must have money, not only to send more money to the court, but also to the people to have money, so that you can buy and sell more, pay more taxes, the people have money, life will be better, and you can send your children to the school to study.

This is the most important point, whether a foreign official is good or not depends not on his own knowledge, but on what he can bring to the local people, Grandpa Bi, am I right? ”

Wang Juan could have said it more thoroughly, but she was a child after all, and she had to pretend to be tender, but fortunately, the old man was not young, and there was no psychological burden in pretending.

"Yes, Juan Juan understands more, the benefits of going to the county are actually the benefits of the people, you all listen carefully, and study seriously in the academy in the future, don't just learn how to take the imperial examination, but also learn how to do something practical for the people."

The old man likes Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in his heart, sensible, smart, filial, it seems that the advantages of being able to appear in people can be seen in the two babies, not as naughty as other babies, since I saw the two of them, I haven't seen them do anything wrong, and I haven't said that I can't stop crying after falling.

At this time, when he heard Wang Juan say something he was thinking about the same thing, he happily touched Wang Juan's head and mentioned a word to the few people standing there.

A few people really couldn't imagine that the benefits turned out to be like this, not what they could get, but the lives of the people, these are not important, the important thing is the last sentence.

"Master Bi, are you saying that we can go to the academy to study?" The man who had just spoken asked happily.

"Hmmm! Teaching without class, although you are worse in learning, and think less about people's livelihood, but this is exactly what the academy wants to teach, and in the monthly examination in the future, you will have to test some things in this area, if you are rated as below middle school for three consecutive months, then you don't need to learn again. ”

The old man suddenly thought of this, it turned out that he planned to teach students like other academies, but now he found that many people have just gone up in learning, and other aspects are too poor, and when they decide to teach, they also involve some content in this aspect.

The monthly exam is not too difficult, there are upper middle, upper, these two, etc., as long as you are not lazy when studying, it will not be bad.

A few people stood there and nodded violently, and then said after the monthly exam, it is what they are looking forward to when they can enter the new academy, Shangshu told the old man to return to his hometown, but he can still contact the people in the court, even if the knowledge is good, someone has to recommend it, and he will go to the post when he arrives, compared to the old Shangshu to say a word, it is far worse.

"Xiaobao, do you still come here today to learn "Anthology"?" The old man didn't pay any more attention to a few happy people, and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, "Don't learn first, go home and learn from my father, if there is something I don't understand in the future, Juan Juan and I will write to Grandpa Bi to ask, Grandpa Bi will also go to Huayuan County to see if he is free, where Yaowang Mountain will be good, and Xiangshan, my family is going to build a big lake in Yaowang Mountain, the scenery is better." ”

"Okay, good boy, then accompany the old man and me to catch fish for a while, and then I'll make something for you to eat with the fish I caught."

The old man didn't have to let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan study, the two children were already working very hard, and some people who should be in their twenties still couldn't learn things, and they also began to get in touch.

The old man said easily, Zhang Xiaobao answered casually, but the few people standing were different, they suddenly felt a great pressure on them, how old are the two babies? I actually learned anthologies, so I have already learned some simple thousand-character essays? Have you memorized the Analects?

"Okay, I'll eat the fish caught by Grandpa Bi in a while, Wenxuan Now my father asked me and Juan Juan to stop first, and learned that if someone is in the mountains, when he is taken by Xue Lixi, some can't keep up, the words are difficult to understand, I and Juan Juan are back to Erya, and I will go back to learn when the back is almost over."

Zhang Xiaobao talked about the progress of learning from himself and Wang Juan, and Wang Juan nodded on the side to prove it.

The old man smiled comfortably, "Okay, it's good to know if you don't learn strongly, if you don't understand it in the future, remember to write a letter to ask, and go to the official post of the two counties, and the speed is still fast." ”

This time, those few people were completely suppressed, they just learned the poetry and armor volume inside, and the two little farts actually learned the volume of Saoxia, the mountain ghost, or deliberately stopped to recite Erya, can the child of the champion be so powerful?

"Grandpa Bi, let's go back to eat after fishing for a while today, I dropped a big fish, the meat was eaten, and the fish bones didn't move, plus the fish maw I saved, I will eat the meat and fish maw tonight, the fish bones will be roasted and steamed, and I will leave it for Grandpa Bi to eat, and I will eat it often in the future, which is good for the body."

Wang Juan began to talk about her fishing, and when she talked about fish bones, it suddenly occurred to her that this thing also contains calcium, which has the same effect as cow bones.

The old man listened happily, and waited for Wang Juan to finish the whole process, then he said: "Eat, Juan Juan said to eat, then I will eat, since I came to your Zhuangzi, the old man, my body is getting better day by day, and I have made a menu for me, you two babies have a heart." ”

The old man sighed with emotion, and started fishing again, those people didn't plan to leave, they stood respectfully and watched, Zhang Xiaobao took out some soybeans that were popped out of the popcorn pot, and distributed them to Wang Juan and the old man while eating, and said:

"Grandpa Bi, those individual competition people are coming over in a few days, it just so happens that the academy is open together, Grandpa Bi will see how they are, if there are good people who have no official position, they will stay, and a few more academies will be built elsewhere in the future, and they will often compare with each other, and they can learn from each other's strengths."

Zhang Xiaobao chewed the soybeans and said inarticulately.

The old man looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and suddenly laughed, "Now your family is making money again, they are competing, they may not spend much money, but there are some people who watch the excitement, they will definitely follow, especially the rich and noble families who have women to be married in the family, naturally they can't miss an opportunity to choose a son-in-law, tell me what your family's plans are?" ”

"Hey, hey, Grandpa Bi, you can't always think like this, my family has this competition, it is cumbersome to organize, it is also a kind of labor, and it is natural to pay for it, in fact, my family still has to spend a lot of money, my father is going to build more schools in Huayuan County and Sanshui County.

When the children are young, they first study in the school, and when they are older, they enter the academy, and the school will have someone to teach, and some people who have not been admitted to the school have no money, so they are just looking for them to teach the little baby, and when they teach, they review what they have learned before, and they can also have food and shelter, and have some money to take. ”

Zhang Xiaobao laughed a few times, diverted from the matter of making money, and began to tell the old man about the plan of the two counties, Sanshui County is no different from the Zhang family's own family, as long as the Zhang family says something, Sanshui County will cooperate with it, and the Zhang family's words will work in both counties.
