Zhao Qian took the letter from the coach sent by his father, Zhao Jiaren, but did not open it immediately. Not only did he not open it at the time, but even after practicing the project, he simply took a shower to wash off the sweat on his body. The letter was still in his pocket and unopened.

At this time, the villagers had already begun to pick mulberry leaves, everything was as Zhao Qian expected, the sorted mulberry trees did not grow to the heights, and all the nutrients absorbed were supplied to the mulberry leaves. Those huge mulberry leaves are washed with lime water, then spun dry, and almost dried before being eaten by silkworm babies. This process has been honed over several years and has become almost standard.

If anything, Zhao Qian's Zhujiazhuang has more people involved in production. In the past, mulberry trees had to be picked by tall men, even men who were good at climbing. The resulting low mulberry trees allow women and even children to participate in the harvesting. Men can concentrate on physically demanding tasks, such as the work of throwing mulberry leaves.

So many people worked in the mulberry garden, but they couldn't use the time gathered together to participate in the study, which made Zhao Qian feel very regretful. Zhao Qian did not try to promote education, but was first rejected by Village Chief Zhu. Village Chief Zhu felt that such a thankless effort would not make the people in the village happy.

Zhao Qian saw that the route of the village chief would not work, so he made a suggestion to the agricultural bureau in Sizhou, hoping to use the opportunity of mulberry picking to carry out effective education. The first two reports were like a stone sinking into the sea without any reaction, Zhao Jiaren's eldest son Zhao Qian was not discouraged, and he continued to submit. Then the Agricultural Bureau sent a letter back to Zhao Qian, informing Zhao Qian that the Education Bureau was responsible for the matter.

Once he had the documents, Zhao Qian wrote a letter to the Education Bureau. After there was no response, Zhao Qian went to the Education Bureau in person. As the deputy section chief of the Agriculture Bureau, Zhao Qian finally met with the Director of the Education Bureau.

For this Shangguan, Zhao Qian first told the director of his own ideas, and then quickly cut to the point, "Director, I am a cadre sent to the local area by the Agricultural Bureau, and I can't ask the village chief to do anything. If the village chief doesn't agree, I can't force the villagers to learn to write. All I need now is for the county to ask the village chief to cooperate with my work. The teachers of this popularization work do not have to worry about anything locally. I have some relationship with the Veterans Counseling Association, and I can ask those members of the Auxiliary Association to come and help. Our troops have their own means of education, but in fact, they are very economical and economical in accordance with local conditions. ”

The director looked at Zhao Qian with a monster-like expression, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "Deputy Section Chief Zhao, are you going to do education on behalf of the Agricultural Bureau?" ”

After hearing this, Zhao Qian hurriedly smiled and said, "Director, I just want to do this myself." Our Agricultural Bureau made it clear to me that it is the Education Bureau that is in charge of education, and if the Education Bureau does not speak, our Agricultural Bureau will not be able to do anything. ”

After listening to this explanation, the expression of the director of the Education Bureau changed a little. He was silent for a moment, and then said to Zhao Qian: "That's it, let's think about it." ”

This consideration was a week, Zhao Qian wrote a letter to the director, and the result was also like a stone. Zhao Qian saw that he really couldn't count on those people above, so he simply started to do it himself in the mulberry garden. According to the method in the army, literacy starts with simplicity. First of all, there are words from one to ten, which are closely related to mulberry picking.

After that, it is the direction of east, west, north, south, and center. According to the advice of the teacher of the College of Agriculture, Zhao Qian divided the mulberry garden into several squares, and only picked the mulberry leaves in one of them every day. This allows the mulberry tree to grow more efficiently. When telling everyone, if there is a text as an aid, the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.

It has taken Zhao Qian more than a month to write the first letter to the Agricultural Bureau. Just when he felt that he had pushed the situation forward on his own, the militia under the village chief Zhu suddenly asked the villagers to stop learning to write. Looking at Village Chief Zhu's performance, Zhao Qian understood something a little. It turned out that the origin of the matter was probably this terrible village chief.

Zhao Qian found the president of the Veterans Auxiliary Association in Sizhou and asked what was different about this Zhu village chief. The chairman said with a haha: "Section Chief Zhao, they are all people who have been soldiers, I know that he has been in the army before, and I haven't heard of any special background." ”

"Which unit?" Zhao Qian was really angry. Dad taught Zhao Qian from a young age not to bully people, if Zhao Qian dared to bully people with his family background, Zhao Jiaren would break Zhao Qian's legs. But not bullying and not being bullied are two different things. Zhao Qian wanted to know what the background of this very unpleasant-looking village chief Zhu was. According to the information gathered so far, this village chief Zhu has no immediate family relationship with the current official family.

"This ...... I forgot. The president began to pretend.

"Take out the files and take a look, we have all the files here." Zhao Qian helped set up a veterans' counseling association and was very clear about the structure of the counseling association.

Seeing that Zhao Qian is real. The chairman lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you so serious. Let me tell you, this village chief Zhu is the nephew of Commander Zhu Hongwu in the current army. Commander Zhu Hongwu is already the deputy commander of the current Liaodong Military Region, and is a subordinate of General Li Yun of the Holy Family. ”

Zhao Qian participated in the Shaanxi Campaign commanded by Li Yun, and of course he knew that Li Yun was a soldier valued by his father Zhao Jiaren. But this matter is really more serious, if Li Yun supports this village chief Zhu, Zhao Qian will not be unreasonable. As for Li Yun personally, he has no ability to override Zhao Qian. Moreover, Zhao Qian didn't think that Li Yun would support Village Chief Zhu, even Village Chief Zhu's uncle Zhu Hongwu, and Zhao Qian didn't think that Village Chief Zhu did this, just because he was instructed or connived at by Deputy Commander Zhu Hongwu.

"Why doesn't this village chief Zhu allow people in the village to read and write?" Zhao Qian continued to ask. It is all too surprising for a retired soldier to do this.

"It seems that the former village teacher sinned against him, so he drove the teacher away."

Hearing such a reason, Zhao Qian was very curious, the teacher would offend the village chief, which was simply unimaginable. He hurriedly asked, "What did the teacher do?" actually offended Village Chief Zhu. ”

The president did not answer, but sighed. After expressing his helplessness, the chairman replied: "Section Chief Zhao, why do you Hangzhou people like to get to the bottom of it so much." Your surname is Zhao, is it a member of the Zhao family. If you are from the Zhao family, I can still talk to you about ......"

"Whether I am from the Zhao family or not, that is my private matter. Since I've stabbed the hornet's nest, I can't be calculated if I don't know anything. Put it on you, will you really suffer a foolish loss? If I don't know what's going on, I'm afraid I won't even be able to use the wrong means to get out. Zhao Qian's attitude was very tough.

Seeing Zhao Qian being so tough, the chairman felt that what he said made sense, so he could only explain: "The imperial court asked the government to help the people in production, and there was something that greatly offended the local government. It is to open a money bank and beat the usury very badly. ”

Zhao Qian frowned, he knew usury, and he just knew a series of explanations for such a name. I listened to the chairman continue to speak: "This village chief Zhu is actually nothing special, like other villages, without the participation of village chief Zhu, the guy who lends money in the village can't let go. The teacher from Hangzhou somehow learned about this time, so he reported Village Chief Zhu for usury. was chased away by Village Chief Zhu. After that, the village chief Zhu was never allowed to send teachers to the village again. If you do it like this, maybe he thinks that you Hangzhou people are all doing the same. Nosy. ”

Now, Zhao Qian found that a lot of intelligence and the reactions of all parties had reached a logical closed loop, and the whole thing was strung together. No matter what the background is, the prevarication between various units, the inaction of the government, the arrogance of the village head, and all kinds in between. All of them are strung together by a transparent silk thread called 'benefit'.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Qian found that there was a very surprising existence in it. Zhao Qian stared at the president and asked, "How do you know this?" If, as you say, those people are too late to cover up, how do you know? ”

"Is this it?" The president scratched his head, looking at the same unorthodox expression as before. But it didn't take long for the chairman to put away his smile, and Zhao Qian realized that something was not quite right. The person in front of him has changed, and when those disguises are thrown away, the ruffian has become free and easy, and the immodest has become calm. Judging the president of the two, he said solemnly: "I am a cadre of the Great Song Intelligence Bureau, and now the official family has not yet established a prince, so I can't call you Prince Zhao Qian." ”

Zhao Qian was completely stunned. He once thought that he had faced the biggest surprise of the day, and after listening to the president's words, Zhao Qian made him wrong.

Looking at the simple Great Song is not simple, Zhao Qian once thought that his father Zhao Jiaren had a very limited understanding of this Great Song Dynasty. No matter what outsiders say about the wisdom and martial arts of the Zhao official family, Zhao Qian has always felt that his father is not so magical. Reality told Zhao Qian that his father Zhao Jiaren might just not want Zhao Qian to see another side hidden in the shadows.

After learning a lot of things, Zhao Qian tried his best to continue to live as usual. Two days later, the coach came, and in addition to teaching Zhao Qian sports knowledge according to the previous practice, he also brought a letter from Zhao Jiaren.

Zhao Qian put the letter aside and didn't open it because he didn't want to open it. If possible, Zhao Qian even hoped that he hadn't gone through all the previous things. When he was a teenager, Zhao Qian, as the son of a Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty and a hero of the Great Song Dynasty, all he wanted was to become a figure praised by later generations like his father.

When he was young, Zhao Qian found that he would probably sit on the throne of the Great Song Emperor. What Zhao Qian himself is looking forward to is to become a knowledge scientist who masters the world and is admired by everyone for his extensive knowledge.

The beautiful dream of his youth has become a thing of the past, and now Zhao Qian finds that if he sits on the throne of the emperor, he will have to face the scum officials below. Only those who are engaged in shady intelligence work can tell Zhao Qian the truth about the Great Song Dynasty.

Such a world is so filthy.
