Chapter 138: Weigh Each
Gu Tiancheng watched coldly, the biggest possibility that Cao Zhang, the county magistrate, appeared so abruptly in the Qin family was that Qin Rui reported to Yishui County and the imperial court about the use of the phonetic characters he had discovered, and planned to devote himself to this and compile a literacy classic.
He guessed that as soon as the literacy dictionary was prepared, it was reported to the county government of Yishui County, and the reason why Qin Rui was in such a hurry was probably to expand his influence. After the influence of this matter is expanded, if other forces want to get involved in this matter, it will not be easy to operate, and the Qin family's position in the literacy classics will be stable.
At the moment, the best opportunity is Qin Xiangru's wedding on the spot.
Finding a way to let the magistrate show up at the wedding and then express his opinion on this will not only make the Qin family feel better in the future. Moreover, in front of everyone's eyes, the matter was announced by the court officials, and the Qin family's compilation of classics was naturally solid and very safe.
The truth is what Gu Tiancheng guessed.
Cao Zhang is not a few years younger than Qin Rui, but he has been the magistrate of Yishui County for four years. And he didn't know how long he would sit here and in this position.
Yishui County is a very mediocre small county, neither very barren nor very rich, and is a very inconspicuous existence on both sides of the big river.
Even the gentle waters of this section of the river in Yishui County have become a shortcoming. For many years, not a single boat has sunk here, let alone flooded.
It's not that the magistrate here is well governed, but that there are no other tributaries of the big river here, and there is no undulating terrain.
Want Shangguan and the court to take a closer look at him? It's even harder!
He even thought that he, the magistrate, would probably be in office for another ten or eight years.
One is not good, he doesn't even have the qualifications to talk about seniority, and it is possible to send him to a worse place on the grounds of mediocre political performance.
At this time, Qin Rui of Yanpu Town passed through the main gate of the Yamen and delivered an official document.
The content of the document gave him hope, if what Qin Rui said could be done, he, a magistrate with mediocre political achievements and no outstanding performance at all, would appear in the eyes of Shangguan, the imperial court, and even the world.
Although the literacy dictionary is a pioneering work, he, who is a parent official, has supported such a classic in the jurisdiction and achieved a generation of people, which can be regarded as an indispensable contribution.
Cao Zhang thought about it again and again, and had two more interviews with Qin Rui, learned in detail about the use of phonetic characters, and was sure that this matter was feasible.
Moreover, according to Qin Rui, he has already tried it out in Chengyun Delivery, and the phonetic symbols are indeed available, and now they only need to be compiled into a book.
With this premise, it not only shows that the phonetic symbols have a very high feasibility, but others have no chance to play the idea of this classic.
Cao Zhang also had no other thoughts, found his own position, and rushed to write an official document overnight, attached Qin Rui's request for instructions, and sent his cronies to Tongzhou Yamen.
Yesterday, the cronies rushed back from Tongzhou to bring back the meaning of the Tongzhou Zhizhou.
Shangguan's meaning is very clear: be supportive and pay close attention. If it can indeed achieve the effect of Qin Rui's writing, it will be of great benefit to many students and many readers, and it will be a merit.
Cao Zhang personally talked to Qin Rui, and he was ninety percent sure of this matter.
At that time, the literacy classics will be formed, and then a larger volume of words and nouns will be compiled, indicating the source and interpretation, and the foundation of Qin Rui's generation of Confucianism will be there.
Maintaining a good relationship with such a person and such a family is only good for him, and there is no harm in him.
And when the Qin family was still at a low point, his parents' official gesture and help were more valuable than sending gold and silver when the Qin family was at its peak in the future.
At present, there is such an opportunity, and he shows up at the happy event of the Qin family's desertion, but for him, it is enough to make Qin Rui and the Qin family feel good.
So there was the trip of the county magistrate today.
Similarly, Qin Rui has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, and he is only stronger than Cao Zhang in this regard, and even much stronger.
What he wants is Cao Zhang's statement, on such an occasion and in such a method, to make the literacy classics public, and without the slightest controversy before a more powerful force intervenes, this literacy dictionary will fall to his Qin family without the slightest controversy.
At that moment, everyone gathered around the county magistrate to return to the main hall, and after another push and politeness, everyone sat down one by one.
The magistrate was very close to the people, he didn't have any swagger, chatted with Qin Rui and the guests present, and asked the people present from time to time how their livelihood was and what they were doing.
Originally, this was just a formality, just pick and choose to ask two or three people. As a result, this third person, the county magistrate's eyes swept away, and it fell on Gu Tiancheng's face.
This young face made him feel very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But looking closely at the young face and clear eyes, this familiarity seems to be blurred again.
Qin Rui saw that Cao Zhang seemed to be quite interested in Gu Tiancheng, and immediately introduced: "This is a person from Muliang Town, named Gu Tiancheng. He partnered with Yuan Changhe in the town to open Chengyun North and South and Chengyun Delivery, which did very well. ”
Cao Zhang didn't find that familiar feeling, but remembered what Qin Rui said, aren't they the two who came to visit [ ] a few days ago and didn't see them?
Then I remembered that Qin Rui's eldest son was working with Gu Tiancheng.
People say that under normal circumstances, if someone who doesn't know each other and meets for the first time has a feeling of familiarity with the other person, they will have an inexplicable affection for this person.
Cao Zhang is in this state now.
Moreover, Qin Rui has returned to his hometown for so many years, concentrating on the study of phonetic symbols, knowing the brilliant prospects of the family, he can still let his eldest son and Gu Tiancheng do things together, you can imagine how optimistic he is about the operation of this river.
A more kind smile appeared on the face of the county magistrate, and in order to make it easier to speak, he also asked his subordinates to move a chair closer and let Gu Tiancheng sit closer and talk.
Gu Tiancheng was confused by Cao Zhang's eyes just now, and at this time, he was specially taken care of, and he was very puzzled.
However, being able to be taken care of by the magistrate is a good thing for him and Chengyun. He has already taken a good look at the place, and he will buy a piece of land in Muliang Town in a few days, and it will be much easier to carry the banner of the county magistrate.
didn't shirk it at the moment, got up neatly and thanked him, sat on the chair that everyone envied, and talked happily with the two big guys.
Gossip, seeing that it was the time for the bride to enter the door, Cao Zhang cleared his throat, and the room was quiet.
Cao Zhang said in a quiet voice: "This official came this time, first, to congratulate the marriage of the son of Mr. Qin's mansion, and secondly, to ...... Well, it's even more of a big deal. ”
The eyes of the crowd immediately widened, what else is there to do?
Sure enough, there's still something going on! And, it's a good thing, right?
Gu Tiancheng also had an expression of waiting for the news. He had to be vigilant, they were in the business of delivering the big and rough trade, but they just tried the phonetic symbols researched by the Qin family, and they didn't understand the value.
Cao Zhang glanced at everyone and felt very complacent: "When Mr. Qin returned to his hometown, he did not live in a mess, but after concentrating on research, he found a way to help readers recognize and look up words. With this method, you can encounter a situation where you don't know the written word, or if you can dictate but don't know how to write it......"
