In 1188, that is, on the second day of the sixth month of the fifteenth year of Song Xiaozong's Chunxi, Mao Geng and the Wang family took a boat down the river from Zishui and came to Baixi Town.

After getting off the boat, Zhang Haisan and Luo Qi led everyone to a place, only to see a plaque of "Baixi Official School" hanging on the gate, Mao Geng knew that this was the school he was going to teach. According to Zhang Haisan, the predecessor of this Baixi official school was Xinhua County School, and later Xinhua County Government moved from Baixi Town to the new county seat of Shangmei Town, and Xinhua County School moved away, and it became "Baixi Official School" here.

Mao Geng combined the teachings of the Song Dynasty that he heard in the county seat, and Zhang Haisan's words all the way to corroborate each other, and knew that this Baixi official school was just a signboard of official learning, in fact, most of it was of a private nature.

The fact is also that although this Baixi official school is called an official school, it is mainly funded by the local gentry of Baixi, and the official government is just a name. However, when it comes to the education of the county, especially for the purpose of educating the barbarians, the gentlemen who teach have always been selected by the government, but the county only gives a little symbolic money, and the livelihood of the gentlemen can only depend on the local squire.

When the group entered the gate of Baixi Official School, they were greeted by a Mr. He. Mr. He was polite and began to look up. first arranged for the Wang family and his family to live in the East Chamber, and then settled Mao Geng and Wen Yuan in the West Chamber.

This west chamber may not have been inhabited for a long time, although it has been renovated and cleaned, but it may not be cleaned up thoroughly in a hurry, and it still smells musty. However, after Mao Geng looked at it, he was very satisfied, although he and Wen Yuan only occupied a corner of the West Chamber, but there were three rooms with a hall and a room, which was regarded as the treatment of two bedrooms and one living room in later generations, and it was already very good to have such treatment as soon as he joined the work.

Mr. Kang, who lived in the East Chamber, then came out to greet everyone, Mr. Kang was sixty-two years old, with a lock of white beard, and was the only one of the only remaining gentlemen with a history of coaching who still sticks to his post in Baixi.

According to Zhang Haisan, there were originally two gentlemen here, but two of them left last year, leaving Mr. Kang, but Mr. Kang's eyes were dizzy and his ears were not good, which made Baixi's official education unsustainable. It just so happens that Mr. Wang's brother can be on top now, well, Mao Geng is also counted. Mao Geng actually knew in his heart that he was just a partner of Mr. Wang's brother, and Song Jiaoyu just arranged for Mao Geng to teach arithmetic for half a day every three days, making it clear that Mr. Wang's brother was the absolute main force, and it was really a bit of luck that he could serve as this assistant teacher.

Originally, according to Guo Zhubo's meaning, he just arranged for the Wang brothers to go to the Shixi official school, while Mao Geng and Wen Yuan stayed in the county seat and had a temporary job. However, Xu County's order adjusted Guo Zhubo's arrangement, and Mao Geng Wenyuan was also arranged to go to Shixi Official School, and continued to be with the Wang family.

Xu County Ling has his own considerations, Mao Geng can make the so-called organ artifact is the best, if it can't be done, anyway, it is not in the county seat, let Mao Geng go to Baixi Official School to be a second-class gentleman to teach arithmetic, how can it not be people's turn to talk nonsense, and it is good to wipe his ass if something happens. According to his own perception, Xu Xianling did not think that Mao Geng was a spy of Jin Bing, but was quite worried that Mao Geng was a liar or just a madman.

Guo Zhubo felt that Mr. Wang's brothers were reformed guests from afar, so they shouldn't be too particular, and let them come to Baixi, maybe they could stay for a long time, so that Baixi official school could be run steadily.

For Mao Geng, it is better to be a private teacher in Baixi than to be a private teacher in the county, at least the degree of freedom is much stronger. Therefore, although Xu County's order has dampened his enthusiasm for participating in politics, Mao Geng still thinks that Xu County's order is actually not bad.

The days in the county town were not in vain, after coming and going, Wen Yuan and Zhang Haisan are now very familiar, and the two of them are very enthusiastic about their fellow villagers. It can be seen that Zhang Haisan is also very polite to himself, and even the matter of Xu County's intervention in the resettlement was revealed by Zhang Haisan, this person is really a bit old-fashioned, and he can be found for anything in the future.

Mao Geng and the two of them have almost no outfits, except for a shirt given by Mr. Wang, Mao Geng is a new shirt bought in the county seat after the fourteenth resettlement money, and there is no long thing, and Wen Yuan is similar. Fortunately, this is summer, and it is difficult to prepare straw mats here, so Mao Geng Wenyuan and the two settled down after a while, and the two chatted with Zhang Haisan.

Chatting and chatting, we talked about the relocation of the county seat, Wen Yuan was very curious about why the county seat was moved to Shangmei Town, and asked:

"Brother Zhang, looking down, this Baixi Town has 6 taels of water, and it is also a bit prosperous, why do you have to move the county seat to another place?"

Zhang Haisan smiled and said:

"When I first came to Xinhua, I also asked this question, and got a lot of sayings, some said that the feng shui here in Baixi Town is not as good as Shangmei Town, and some said that it is difficult to sail on the Zishui River, and it is necessary to set up a major town in Shangmei Town to hold the river demon by the government. Hehe! But after a long time here, I know that the above statements are all fools. ”

Mao Geng guessed the reason in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask:

"Then what is the reason for that?" , which is a casual conversation, Mao Geng is in a relaxed mood, and his words are naturally smoother.

"Xinhua established a county during the Xining period, and it doesn't hurt to say that it is okay to learn about it with the two brothers, anyway, Mr. Wang also knows the reason. Legend has it that General Zhangtunzhang was ordered by Wang Anshi to subdue Meishanman by force, but was beaten by the Meishanman, who was the lord of the mountain at that time. Later, the imperial court changed its strategy and sent Guo Xiangzheng to Meishan to recruit Su Gan, who also had the intention of admiring the Great Song Dynasty, and after some negotiations, Su Gan led the people to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that at the beginning of the opening of Xinhua County, the Great Song Dynasty did not set up a county order here, but only sent personnel from Changsha's Wu'an Army and Shaozhou to station in Xinhua's governance side. ”

Mao Geng didn't expect such a thing. However, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty has always been poor, and it is accustomed to the harmonious thinking of peace talks, such as spending money to buy stable dìng, which has always been the basic national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Haisan continued:

"Xining has been established as a county in five years, and of course it cannot be without a county. This county seat was in this Baixi Town at that time, and this Baixi Town was regarded as the county seat, if it was not Su Ganken, of course, it would be impossible to count. In other words, the use of Baixi Town as the county seat of Xinhua is actually the meaning of Sugan. Well, this Baixi Town was originally the world of the locals, and among them, the Sugan family was even stronger, and it was difficult to carry out the decree of the Great Song Dynasty, which is conceivable. The Great Song Dynasty wanted to move in to the Han people to slowly change the unfavorable situation, but the locals in Baixi Town were very xenophobic, and it was not easy for the Han people to move in. As a last resort, I had to do a strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, that is, to build a new county seat and move the county government to Shangmei Town, the current county seat. After the relocation of the county seat, the Han people moving into the county seat will no longer cause disputes, so that the neighboring Han people have moved into the new county seat of Xinhua, and the new county seat is close to Shaozhou, which is more convenient to govern. Sure enough, the new city has a new atmosphere, and since then, the Great Song Dynasty has changed its administration in Xinhua. ”

Hearing this, Wen Yuan frowned and said:

"In this way, this Baixi Town is the world of Meishan Barbarian!"

Zhang Haisan continued:

The same can be said. Brother Mao, does Brother Wen know what is the origin of this Baixi official school? It doesn't hurt to say that it is okay to listen to the two brothers, although this Baixi official school is an official school, it is actually similar to the Su family's private school. Of course, it's not right to say that the private school is not right, and this Baixi official school does not only accept the children of the Su family, but also the children of each family. However, the cost of running the Baixi official school is almost the Su family's bag. This Su family is the descendant of Su Gan, as far as I know, the Su family is very good to the Han people, and Brother Mao and Brother Wen don't have to worry. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Haisan pretended to be mysterious again, and grinned:

"Hehe, I heard that the Su family has a daughter-in-law who is like a flower, and she has been picking a son-in-law since last year, maybe it is possible to fall in love with Brother Mao or Brother Wen. So, I congratulated here in advance below! As he spoke, he made a congratulatory gesture, which made Mao Wen and the others laugh.

As he was saying, Mr. He called out from afar:

"Brother Zhang, Mr. Mao, Brother Wen, my Su family is invited!"

Mao Geng looked at the sky, it was already dusk, could there be a person named Su Yuanwai who wanted to invite everyone to have a good meal!

Mr. He's next words did not disappoint Mao Geng's expectations:

"That's the case, my Su Yuanwai will hold a banquet in Deyue Tower tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for the gentlemen who come from afar."

Mao Geng and Wen Yuan didn't know why Mr. He said that Su Yuanwai invited him, and with a puzzled face, Zhang Haisan smiled and said:

"Oh, this great benevolent man of Su Yuanwai Su is a great benevolent person who has funded Baixi official school over the years, and today he will hold a banquet for the new gentleman to receive the wind and wash the dust, and it is also a part of Su Yuanwai's respect for teachers and education, and the two brothers just go to the station."

Mr. Naga smiled and said:

"That's right! Right! Outside my family is a piece of the heart of respecting the teacher's heavy teaching, please move to the three of you! ”

The Deyue Building in Baixi Town is not big, but it is the most famous restaurant in the local area. Mao Geng hadn't eaten a big meal for a long time, and he was already a little hungry, and when he smelled the aroma of the restaurant, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Entering the private room, I saw that there were already two people sitting, the older person must be Su Yuanwai, this person is about fifty years old, and there is not necessarily anything strange about his appearance, with a square face and black beard, wearing a silk shirt, wearing a Dongpo scarf, and a scribe's dress, no matter what, it is difficult to associate it with the three words "Meishanman". Mao Geng thought to himself, maybe this person attaches great importance to Baixi official learning, maybe he is a vassal and elegant person. But in any case, it is quite rare to be willing to arrive here first and wait for his party, and Mao Geng can't help but have a sense of respect for this Su member.

The guest sat down, Mr. He introduced them one by one, and Mao Geng knew that the other person was Su Zhiyi, the son of Su Yuanwai, who was the second in line, and served as the town official of Baixi Town.

Mr. Wang was just two brothers who came to the banquet, and the family members stayed at the official school, Mr. He had arranged it properly, and the pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt were all prepared, and the Wang family did not have to worry about eating. Mao Geng, Wen Yuan, plus Mr. He and Zhang Haisan, who accompanied them, a table of eight people just filled a table of eight immortals.

The reception banquet was carried out in a very harmonious atmosphere, Su Yuanwai kept persuading wine and food, during which he especially recommended Baixi tofu, saying that this Baixi tofu is a generation of Confucian Zhang Yan is particularly fond of delicious, Mao Geng tasted it, and felt that it was really good. The boiled fish is also good, and the muntjac meat is also delicious. However, the taste of the water wine is really average, and you have to help them distill it to increase the alcohol content.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Su Yuanwai talked about the problems that Mr. Wang's brothers and Mao Geng Wenyuan were concerned about:

"When the two gentlemen of the Wang family and Mr. Mao Xiao arrive here, they don't have to worry, just look for Mr. He in everything, the government's little money is too meager, and there are other arrangements below, in short, there is no need for gentlemen to worry about their livelihood. In addition, on the side of Youxi, the best fields have been reserved, and every two days Zhiyi will take the gentlemen's housekeepers there, and as for the cultivation of the fields, you can also ask someone to cultivate them on your behalf, and this Zhiyi will also be arranged. ”

What Su Yuanwai said, Su Zhiyi naturally nodded again and again.

Su Yuanwai continued:

"Gentlemen, if you ask for anything, just mention it. You're welcome! But whatever can be done, there will be no refusal. ”

Mao Geng drank a few sips of wine at this time, and couldn't help but respond to Su Yuanwai and put forward his own request:

"Outside of Su Yuan, Xiao Ke has the courage to fight and wants two things."

Su Yuanwai smiled kindly and said:

"Mr. Mao, please speak."

Mao Geng was also not polite, and said straight:

"There is both tofu and gypsum here, and you can ask for some gypsum. In addition, to make a blackened wooden board, Xiao Ke drew a pattern, as long as he made it according to the --- pattern. Xiao Ke wants to teach arithmetic, and he needs to use these two things. ”

In Mao Geng's heart, without blackboard and chalk, teaching mathematics is really unimaginable, so the first one must have a blackboard and chalk, and with plaster, homemade chalk is. Su Yuanwai's request to Mao Geng was a little strange, but he still smiled and said:

"There may not be anything else in the region, but the gypsum is produced, which is easy to say. It is also easy to say that the wooden planks painted with black paint are also good. Does Mr. Mao have any other requirements? ”

Mao Geng's wine strength came up at this time, and despite the fact that it was the first time they met, he continued to make requests:

"Xiao Ke wants to occupy a piece of land by the Youxi River, and Xiao Ke hopes to --- that place is just in the place where the water is panting, I don't know if Xiao Ke's wish can be fulfilled?" , I can't help but say that after Mao Geng drank, his speech became a lot smoother.

Su Yuanwai looked at Mao Geng, and then turned his head to look at Zhiyi beside him, Su Zhiyi hurriedly responded:

"Since Mr. Mao has made a request, let's try to find such a place!"

Su Yuanwai then said:

"Then try to meet Mr. Mao's request." , and then added: "Does Mr. Mao still have any requirements?" ”

Of course, Mao Geng's requirements are far more than these, and Mao Geng next wants to say, "Xiao Ke also wants to ask you to help find a stone that looks like tin", and wants to find out the antimony ore in one go. However, Wen Yuan pulled Mao Geng on the side, so that Mao Geng's wine woke up, and said that his mother was a little drunk, and almost made herself the first sB in Xinhua for the sake of this sb's antimony.

At this point, Mao Geng hurriedly replied:

"Thank you Su Yuanwai for fulfilling your wishes. Xiao Ke's wish is sufficient, and the right person --- that abrupt, please don't be weird! ”

"Where did Mr. Mao come from! It's just a matter of effort! Su Yuanwai stroked his beard, his face was full of smiles, and he didn't blame Mao Geng at all.
