"Xiao Jiu, hurry up and salute the master," the eldest sister said.

Song Jiu didn't know what to say, he looked at the master, the master was very bold, Song Jiu was an official of the imperial court, whether he was a loose official or a professional official, he was also an eight-grade official, and he had not taken off his official uniform, and he seemed to be favored by the emperor, otherwise how could he let him inspect the entire Jinghu. Song Jiu didn't say anything, only said that you please go back, and the master dared to threaten with the gods. But think about it, the later masters are not the same thieves when they cheat money, and the people who enter the gang are all big shots.

These people are also ghosts and gods, and they are far away, Song Jiu is too lazy to provoke them, and said to the eldest sister: "Eldest sister, I am Juzi, Confucianism, Dr. Yan, Dr. Zhang, although I teach physicology, arithmetic and accounting, but you are also teaching Confucian scriptures, right?" ”

The two nodded.

"The master said to respect ghosts and gods and stay away, but the son does not speak of strangeness, power, chaos, and gods. People and ghosts have different paths, which cannot be known by human beings, and can be respected, but they must be far away. The Master also worshipped ghosts and gods, and that was in the temple, not in the home, where only the ancestors were worshipped. As an official of the imperial court, I am training students who will be used by the imperial court. Eldest sister, you openly invited ghosts and gods to your home, and if you don't get it, the emperor may punish me severely. ”

"Song Jiulang, what do you say! Even His Majesty worships the gods, and you slander them! ”

"Zhang Daochang, you better go back quickly, Your Majesty also worships the gods, one is in the appropriate place, not in the palace, and the other is that he worships the gods, can you represent the gods? I've always been a good talker, but I'm also an official, don't force me to ......"

"Zhou Shizong destroyed the Buddha, look at his fate!"

Song Jiu was even more displeased, and said: "Zhou Shizong is a generation of heroes, although he died young, His Majesty has always treated his descendants kindly, including the generals, you are just a Taoist priest, don't let trouble come out of your mouth!" ”

Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang also reacted that if the rumor was about to go out, they would not stop it, but instead took a group of students to watch the excitement, which was also wrong. walked over and said: "Daochang Zhang, don't fight, Jiulang is an official, there are indeed some things to taboo, please understand, let's go." ”

Master Zhang was still a little unconvinced.

Song Jiu felt strange, this Taoist priest came to coax him.

The eldest sister was at a loss, entered the room, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to Master Zhang. When Song Jiu was leaving, he was afraid of an accident, so he first asked Boss Hu to take the students to verify the statistics, and the salary was distributed until the end of February. That's the emperor's brother-in-law, who dares to move?

However, Song Jiu was not there, and as Boss Hu, he didn't want to have any friendship with the Gao family, so he issued it in advance. A very small number of outsiders see that peace has been restored in many places, and they want to return to their hometowns in the spring, and Hezhou benefits everyone, and they are not afraid that they will escape with this little salary, so they will have to return. But some of the deficiencies will be made up for when Song Jiu comes back. Song Jiu was afraid that something would happen, so he put a few hundred taels of silver at home and handed it over to the eldest sister for safekeeping. The silver is heavy, not a silver ingot, it is a tuo, but it is at least more than twenty taels, and Song Jiu is grinning. His monthly income includes a fortune and a wharf dividend, which is not worth the money.

Seeing the silver, the master is not a master, most of them are fake, as long as the person who is greedy for money is not a master, and Master Zhang will not be a master, so he took the silver and left. The eldest sister continued to complain: "Xiao Jiu, you can come back safely, but you also have to thank Master Zhang's blessing, how can you treat the master like this." ”

Song Jiu can't be in a hurry, but the eldest sister is also kind-hearted, the masters in the previous life deceived the celebrity officials, and in this era, she is the eldest sister who can't read a few words. Said patiently: "Eldest sister, how many people are there in the entire Song Dynasty now?" ”

"Where do I know the way?"

"I'm the only one, and what is called personality is to talk about the principle of change in various things. For entertainment, it can perform all kinds of illusions, including the fire breathing in the mouth of the master just now, but when used in people's livelihood, it can create gunpowder that blows down the city wall, carries people into the sky, and can even make people fly down from the sky. That master represents the gods, and you let him carry people up to the sky and jump down from the sky. ”

A group of teachers and students all laughed.

Song Jiu didn't talk about it, everyone thought it was very amazing, and they kept coming around to see it, and it didn't make much sense when they talked about it.

"The study of physical character is also more magical than their performance, for what is the next majesty, I will immediately tell the principle of how people go to the sky, fall from the sky and can be safe and sound, because I am an official of the imperial court, and it is this knowledge that I teach. Even deeper and more miraculous methods can benefit the people and the country if used well, and can deceive people's minds if they are not used well. Unless one day, thousands of people will understand this kind of knowledge. So I'm going to shy away from it, and I'm going to pay attention. But it's better for you to invite these masters home and invite the students to watch, what has become of this? ”

Saying this, the eldest sister finally understood, and muttered, "That's good, I'm still in association." ”

Song Jiuyi was stunned when he heard this, and first told the students to go back to the classroom, reflect on the self-study in the past few months, and immediately prepare to assess them by himself, this is an excuse to let the students go to the classroom, and then throw away the spirit cards together, the eldest sister hesitated, her heart was not dead, and she wanted to stop it. Song Jiu asked, "What association?" ”

"Peace Society, formed a society, and prayed to the gods to bless the family with safety."

"Who led the way? Master Zhang? ”

"It's not Master Zhang Long'er, he only said one sentence, one person's prayer power is not large, if everyone prays together, the power will be great, and the gods can hear everyone's prayers and send blessings."

"Eldest sister, ...... you" Song Jiu was really speechless, after a while, he shook his head, and saw that he had scraped together a lot of money, and he was rewarded by the emperor with a large sum of money, and these gods and ghosts stung up like flies together, so he said seriously: "Eldest sister, I just gathered the coolies in the river, what did the two kings say about me, saying that I wanted to build a big river and shake the foundation of the capital." Why? We have associations and associations, but they can be relatively loose with each other, but if we use shares to condense them, we can become an iron plate. Can the two kings rest assured? This is only a matter of money, there are two regimes in the world, one is imperial power and the other is divine power. They are all above money. What are the consequences of using theocracy to form associations? Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao used part of the divine power to unite the people together to rebel, see what Huang Chao did? After besieging Chenzhou for more than a year, 3,000 giant mills were launched, and the people were included in the giant dumplings and ground into minced meat. The people of Chenzhou were eaten up, and the troops plundered everywhere, tying up the people of Henan, Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Xu, Yan and other dozens of states to continue grinding. As a result, Jingxi Road continues to be empty until now. You still form an association, I think you want our whole family to be wiped out. ”

The eldest sister panicked and asked, "How is that good?" ”

Yuping asked from the side, "Jiulang, it's not that serious." ”

It's probably not that serious, it is estimated that the eldest sister is afraid that something will happen to her in the south, so she begs God to worship the Bodhisattva everywhere, so that this Master Zhang Long'er is targeted, and it is not fun to cheat the eldest sister's money, so she happened to send some money to the coolie. In fact, there is not much money spread out by one family, but there are also a lot of people who get together, so they come up with a way to form an association and continue to cheat money. I knew this earlier, and I would have grabbed him just now and sent him directly to the government. said: "No matter whether it is serious or not, it is not easy for the villagers to earn a few dollars, how much money did you deceive him by this association?" ”

"I don't know what to say."

"Eldest sister, you go and ask, I'll pay the money out and return it to the villagers."

"That's a lot of money."

"A lot of money has to be repaid, and the association is broken up together." Although it is a remedy, it is inevitable that it will cause a commotion. And seeing that Taoist priest is quite good, I don't know what background there is behind it, I let the eldest sister disperse the association, it will not be easy to cheat money in the future, and there will be some trouble. It's really troublesome, so I had to go to Zhao Kuangyi again to talk about the matter. Seeing that the eldest sister was worried and uneasy, Song Jiu said again: "It's okay, it's gone, if you don't invite him in the future, the court won't blame you." Isn't it just some money, and the emperor has no reward, or a small reward. ”

Song Jiu accentuated his tone again and said: "Eldest sister, it doesn't matter about money, I'm afraid that you will be brainwashed by him, saying that you don't understand brainwashing, that is, using some means to instill his thoughts and make others obey his manipulation, especially the use of religious means and political means." In any case, the association must be dissolved. ”

Thinking of this, Song Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, because there were some ethnic brainwashing methods in his diary. I didn't expect it to be used, and I let a magic stick brainwash my eldest sister at home.

Cui'er said: "Oh no, my lady also let him cheat a few gold hairpins and bracelets. ”

Song Jiu was absolutely down, it seemed that he had suffered heavy losses this time, and said with a wry smile: "If you cheat, you cheat, you should spend money to eliminate disasters and buy a lesson." This is now, if Hezhou is developed in the future, and the income is high, not only Taoist priests come to deceive, but also monks, fortune tellers, shamans, and Famen will be more. ”

Seeing the eldest sister's frustrated expression, Yuping changed the subject: "Jiulang, is this line okay?" ”

"Okay, what can I do when I go south? It is said that it will not be hot at this time, and it is not the time when it is not the time for miasma to attack, and it is said that the people are in turmoil, and under the governance of a few officials, Hunan has already begun to settle down. By the way, when did that Taoist priest come to the door to pray for blessings? ”

"February 2nd."

"February 2nd, then my line has nothing to do with him, this line I also married Chen Zaixiong as a brother with a different surname, but this is a New Year's Day. For the sake of peace, this is the prestige of His Majesty, which is the blessing of his parents underground, and has nothing to do with the master. So my eldest sister asked me to worship my parents, and I readily agreed. But don't worship liars! ”

"Xiao Jiu, don't talk about it, besides, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Eldest sister, if you can't sleep well, I can sleep well, I'm worried that you will be completely brainwashed by him, and that will be miserable."

"I'm not a fool," the eldest sister couldn't go on, not a fool let him cheat a lot ......of money, and also deceived the villagers of at least two or three thousand yuan.

"Eldest sister, wrong, smart people can also be brainwashed, the smarter they are, the easier it is to brainwash, my Hezhou gathering principal is to brainwash the Yanei, but unlike this Taoist priest, his brainwashing is completely to cheat money, and I am a win-win situation. Don't say this anymore, after I'm gone, everything will be fine at home. ”

"Everything is good, your seventh sister gave birth to a big fat boy in Layue last year."

"I'll check it out in the evening." Song Jiu said in surprise that childbirth is the most dangerous thing in this era, not only the fetus is dangerous, but the mother is also dangerous. In Hunan, Song Jiu has been thinking about it.

"Who is he?"

"He is a student I brought from the south, his name is Lu Qingyi. Tsing Yi, I'm a little busy these days, I'll arrange for you to go to Hezhou in a few days. ”

"Thank you, Jiulang."

"You come with me," Song Jiu shuddered, he had to see how well the students were learning, took off his official uniforms, changed into civilian clothes, and arranged Tsing Yi to Class B first, he had to admire Han Xizai, although he was a child of his cronies, he was a servant after all, but in the case of Han Xizai taking the time to teach a little taught, Tsing Yi not only had good arithmetic, but also could write well, and could make four or six bodies, and this four or six bodies made Song Jiu the most sorrowful. However, the accounting must be poor with the personality and accounting, and it can't be placed in Class A. In fact, the progress of each course is different, and it also gives the four gentlemen a headache. There is no way now, we can only see if we can solve this drawback by becoming a college in the future.

At the beginning of the class, some students were still curious and asked, "Mr. Nine, can that Spitfire teach us now?" ”

Song Jiu thought about it, these students are very likely to become various small officials in the future, and they can't underestimate the small officials, Zhao Pu and they are all from the scribes, they are called small officials, and some of the small officials are official think tanks. The Song Dynasty is now backward in science and technology, and people are also superstitious, and there will be some things that pretend to be gods and ghosts in various places. So he said: "Now I teach you, you can't accept it, and I have to prepare for a while." In fact, when you go to the Royal Street to watch artists perform during the Lantern Festival, you can also see similar fire-breathing performances. Not only fire, but seventy percent of illusions, I can tell the principle, but these performances require some skills and quick hands, and I can't perform. The fire-breathing technique is just one of the simplest things, but no matter what you use to hide it in your mouth, it can be harmful to people. And be careful of the angle, if you don't control the spray low, it will burn the clothes, and if you spray high, it will burn the hair. Even if you do, it's better not to perform it. Moreover, it does not matter if these methods are used for entertainment activities to solicit rewards from some spectators, but if they are used to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and defraud the people of their money, especially the money of the poor people, it is a petty act. Especially the Taoist priest just now, taking advantage of my sister's concern for me and some of her prestige in the river, not only deceived my sister of money, but also defrauded the villagers of their money, these people can be killed! He cheated out the money and enjoyed himself, and I have to clean up the mess for him, dissolve the association, and repay the villagers......"

The students, all of whom came from poor families, were particularly moved by these words, and one of them said, "Mr. Jiu, after you left, we all miss you." ”

"I miss you in the south," Song Jiu said. At this moment, looking at a pair of happy eyes, Song Jiu's heart was full of happiness.
