The main hall is open, and the bustle of this place can be heard clearly even through the door.

Chungui and Guo Ruyi are looking at the painting in the middle together, these few months the two picked out a few sets of drawings and sent them to the private kiln to call the workers to practice for a long time, the patterns are also easy to choose, two years ago was sent to Guo Ruyi's hands of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, the four times the mountain scenery is ready-made.

Now the private kiln has been closed, the official kiln has started, and the hand-painted porcelain corresponding to these sets of drawings is also officially firing.

However, both of them feel that the more paintings the better, so even if the official kiln has been opened, the two often discuss painting together, these days are stumbling on the matter of settling the old man in Zhixingyu County, today, this matter is also half solved, the two simply stay inside, while painting while listening to the movement outside.

"Sister Yue, why are you so thoughtful, this group of old men really rushed over, and I heard Steward Qiu say that our door is full of carriages, and the queue is full, and people can't get by." Guo Ruyi covered his mouth and smiled.

There is nothing difficult in front of her now, and her whole face is more relaxed than before, and she has returned to her former leisurely appearance.

Chungui couldn't help but smile and said: "These are not tyrannical masters, they also donated money and food during the drought, and now there is Old Man Hong who has taken the lead in receiving a glory, and he is more energetic in his heart." ”

"That's also Sister Yue's smartness to come up with this method."

After Guo Ruyi faded away from his sorrow, he spoke with a sense of playfulness.

can make this group of people willingly take out the silver to relieve the pressure in the county, and get Zhixing out of trouble, she is full of gratitude to the Chungui couple in her heart.

When Chun Gui heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at her: "No matter how big the things in the county are, it is just a matter of making an idea together, I just hope that you and Zhixing will be as usual, or they may be closer than before." ”

After speaking, I was afraid that this sentence was a bit eventful, and said:

"Don't think I'm talking too much about your husband and wife, just pick up what you think is useful and listen to it."

Yesterday, after the couple said it, they left hand in hand, and after going back, Zhixing didn't hide anything from her, but hugged her and complained a lot.

Zhixing even assured her, saying that in the future, Qi You will treat her sister-in-law like this, explain everything, and there will be no concealment.

Hearing these words, the grievances that she had been holding back immediately dissipated, and she was both happy and heartwarming.

In my heart, I am even closer to the spring return who came out for her.

At this moment, listening to her thinking about herself in everything, she also introspected herself, and she was even more moved: "Sister Yue, don't say that, I don't know if you really mean it for me!" ”

"Before I got married, my mother also instructed you, saying that you are the closest person to me and Zhixing, and you have no selfishness. What's more, I have been friends with you for a long time, and I have long regarded you as my own sister. ”

said and added a sentence proudly: "Zhixing also called you sister-in-law, but I called you sister, but I think I am the dearest." ”

Seeing that she was still a little daughter, Chun Gui was also completely relieved, and responded to her words: "Of course, I don't care about that stupid boy!" ”

After the two talked and laughed for a while, they listened to the main hall and said about it, and they were all grateful.

Guo Ruyi pretended to sigh: "If I knew that I would carve a stone tablet for them in the future, I am afraid that these old men would not be happy to pout." ”

Chun Gui shook his head with a smile, pouting and not knowing, at this moment, these old men were already so happy that they couldn't find the north.

After the two of them went out, a total of 1,200 taels of silver were placed in front of the table in the main hall, not more than one cent, not less.

Zhixing sat leisurely on the side, sweeping away the bitterness of the previous day.

"The letter sent to Zhou Han has been sent, the money is also complete, and the two masters are already busy recruiting workers when they get the news, so I will be busy again, and I will take advantage of the return visit to inform the group of old people about this matter!"

"At most, after two months of building the Ci'an Church, we are going to change our face here!"

At this moment, Zhixing is full of interest, he roughly knows that the young and old people who often chant in the world are supported, and the old are dependent, and I am afraid that there will be some signs in these two counties.

In a few days, the recruitment of workers was more lively than in the cave, and the streets and alleys were all talking about this Ci'an Hall.

There are previous examples, but everyone who has the strength to sign up has gone to register, this time it is really not a matter of wages, but this Ci'an Hall really moved the people of the two counties deeply.

Who doesn't have an old man? During the great drought, there were more people who went out to make a living, but if there was a misfortune, it was difficult to guarantee that the widows who became lonely today were not their own old people.

But now that there are two adults, with this Ci'an Hall, this is giving the elderly in the two counties a way to live! Who isn't full of emotion?

There is a man with a seventy-year-old mother lying at home, and even said that even if he doesn't need to be paid, he is willing to build this Ci'an Hall brick by brick!

And those who read a little bit of books and had some ink in their stomachs, often gathered on the second floor of the shop in Chungui, and simply wrote poems and essays praising Cheng Liu's two county orders.

There are also students who volunteer to take the position of master behind the completion of the private school.

Not to mention those women's families, who gave three dollars of silver in a month, and even wrapped three meals, which is more than three taels of silver for the whole year, which is much better than their daily sewing and mending clothes!

All of a sudden, the whole county was bustling with activity, and everyone was energetic.

The two masters are not idle meals, they march in pairs, registering workers and women at the same time, as for wanting to enter a private school to be a master, Qi You thought about it, and invited the master in the county school to sit in the town, one by one.

The three heads are parallel, and the efficiency is more than half a point faster.

The lively spring return in the county is not to see it in person, you can listen to it, plus Aunt Wang, who helps at home, Geng Rong, who came from outside, and a few people who came from outside talk about the praise of Qi You Zhixing at home every day, and her heart is clear.

The bustle of the county is lively, she is the only one, and the family is waiting for a reply from Kyoto at the moment.

……

Zhou Han was a little selfish in the spring assessment, his two friends risked the danger to pick up the displaced people on a snowy day, and before they took office, they were busy with the big and small things explained by the saints.

So after he left Songxian and returned to Kyoto, he directly picked out the assessment book of Qizhou, added two more county orders that had not yet officially taken office, and handed over all the things that had been done to settle the displaced people in this snow disaster.

Father Zhou also went with him after saying a few words of recklessness.

After handing it over, it will be filed after the saint sees it, and he specially found it out and looked at it, and the two more places on it were not rewarded or punished, but a red tick was added to prove that it had been read.

Zhou Han was immediately happy, what if he didn't reward or punish, if the saint didn't cross it out, it proved that he already knew it.

Sure enough, after the cave incident was reported and reviewed, Qi You Zhixing's reward was all given by the saint, and he praised it in the main hall.

It is said that there will be no reward at this time, but there will be a big reward after the hand-painted porcelain comes out of the kiln!

Zhou Han has written it down!

After the assessment, Zhou Han was relaxed, and he went back and forth every day, or wandered around the Guo family's shop for a while, ate some snacks, or watched the porcelain shop come and go More and more neighboring country merchants asked about this hand-painted porcelain, the porcelain shop is now a bright display table, since the saint planned to use this to fill the treasury, the shop is no longer allowed to buy and sell, only a group of porcelain for people to see. This has attracted many traveling merchants from neighboring countries, but whenever they pass by, they have to ask when they are buying and selling.

Zhou Han looked at this grand occasion, and there was nothing more comfortable than him.

It's pleasant, but it's also boring.

The two letters from Zhixing and Qi You came one after the other at this time.

Zhixing's letter briefly explained that he had received 1,000 taels of silver from wealthy families in the two counties to build Ci'an Hall, and Qi You's letter added a picture album for the implementation of private schools, and asked him to bring two letters to meet the saint alone.

The meaning in the letter is clear at a glance, and Zhou Han is clear at a glance, how can he not understand the intentions of these two people!

This is to communicate privately with the saint!

These two people are so bold in making county orders!

It's no wonder that the implementation of the new policy in the court can make a lot of trouble, as soon as Ci'an Hall comes out, these dozens of mouths in the court, and so much money is involved, you say a word, I say a word, there is no peace, and when the discussion comes out with a result, Zhixing has long been tired on the way back to visit and settle down.

No wonder I want to talk to the saint in private, but I don't know if the saint is happy or thinks they are single-minded and troublesome.

After thinking about it, he still needs his father to know about this, otherwise if the saint is angry, someone will come to catch him.

I thought that I would have to receive a few more sentences of criticism this time, but what I didn't expect was that Father Zhou swept the two letters and handed him the sign directly.

He didn't know the bottom of his heart, and asked cautiously: "Dad, don't you scold me this time?" ”

Father Zhou glanced at him and snorted: "I knew that I should have put you in Qizhou in the first place, and I could learn more from Qi You's knowledge." ”

This sentence is to agree with the implementation of these two things by Tzu An Tang and private schools.

Zhou Han immediately put his heart back in his stomach and followed him into the palace.

The emperor has been leisurely these days, and there is a lack of a heartless brother above the court, and there are many fewer words in the imperial history. Last year, Dabi recruited many young officials, and after going to various places, they had the appearance of reshaping the local pollution, not to mention anything else, at least replacing the moths that ate white rice.

When Zhou's father handed over the sign, Mrs. You was reporting to him about King Qi's recent situation, all in all, although the kid was angry, he could sit on the side and ring the bell without being deaf or dumb.

The emperor sighed: "I don't expect him to do anything, just don't get into trouble." ”

After the report, Mrs. You was about to retire, when she saw the attendant come in, saying that the father and son of the Zhou family were waiting outside.

The emperor still had a lot of impressions of Zhou Han: "Isn't this the kid who secretly added the names of Cheng Liu and the two county commanders to the king's assessment book!" On weekdays, Shang Chao hid behind a group of people, and he didn't see him come out much, but now he came with his father. ”

"Pass it in."

He turned his head to Old Lady You and said, "Old lady also wait, Zhou Qing has nothing to do and doesn't hand over the sign, let's take a look." ”

Old lady You was beside her.

The father and son entered the imperial study, and directly lowered their heads and said that Qi You and Zhixing had two letters to hand in.

When the emperor heard that it was them, he became interested: "Aren't these two boys busy working on the cave, they are opening a market and a new shop, how can they still report something?" ”

The father and son of the Zhou family raised their heads at this time, but when they looked up and saw Old Lady You on their side, they suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this, the old lady said, "But it's inconvenient for me to be there?" ”

Father Zhou has always respected this old man, and when he heard this, he said: "I shouldn't have hidden it from the master, but this is a letter handed over by the two boys of Cheng Liu a year ago, so that this kid in my family should be known to the saint alone." ”

Mrs. You still remembered the two people at the entrance of the palace that day, and also knew that the two of them entered the hand-painted porcelain, these two were decent people, and when he heard Zhou's father say this, he was about to retire.

But the emperor opened his mouth to stop it.

"No need, the old lady is a trustworthy person, just say it."
