Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Cousin Ji Xiaosi pushed the door in.
"Isn't Big Brother resting yet? Ming'er has to get up early, big brother hurry up and rest! ”
Ji Ping shook his head, "I can't sleep!" When I thought about governing a county, I didn't have a clue where to start and how to start. ”
"During the day, didn't the eldest brother set a strategy and start with the opening of the wasteland?"
"It's not enough! The strategy is too rough and far from enough. ”
Ji Ping was very anxious, full of thoughts, but he couldn't figure it out.
Ji Xiaosi hesitated and said: "The eldest brother is a county order, there must be trustworthy people around him to run errands and pass on messages or something, how does the eldest brother think of me?" I've been a shopkeeper in Four Seasons Cloth Village for a few years, and it's not a problem to usher in anything, and I've also exercised my words and looks. Moreover, I already know three hundred words...... I'm sure I can help Big Brother. ”
Ji Ping turned his head sharply and stared at Ji Xiaosi, his eyes were slightly fierce.
Ji Xiaosi was taken aback, he had heard of his eldest brother's great achievements in Fugui Villa, and he was a ruthless master who did not recognize his six relatives.
The whole Ji clan is not afraid of the ancestors, but afraid of Ji Ping.
Even Ji Ping's father and mother were afraid that he would die of fear.
It only takes one look to make the greedy couple shut their mouths and retract their outstretched hand. Stay in the house honestly, and don't dare to go out to harm the reputation of the Ji family.
He trembled, "If the eldest brother doesn't want to, then, then forget it." When I didn't say it. ”
"You can't!" Ji Ping said solemnly: "When you get to the county office, you can only do some errands and messengers, and the work done by the officials." I need scholars now, and I have to find at least five or six scholars to get the county government first. ”
Ji Xiaosi said cautiously: "The scholars in Pingyang County have long run out, let alone five or six, and they can't even find half of them." Where do I go to find someone to read now? ”
Ji Ping looked at him viciously, "There are no scholars in Pingyang County, so I went to other places to find scholars." Following the example of Mr. Han back then, they specially looked for those down-and-out scholars and offered them a salary that they couldn't refuse, so they didn't believe that they couldn't find anyone. ”
Ji Xiaosi hurriedly asked, "Does the eldest brother want to emulate the method used by Fugui Villa to recruit scholars back then?" That's a good idea! It's just that where to find a down-and-out reader. ”
Ji Ping glared at him, "You were sent to Sijibu Village, and you didn't know a few foreign merchants?" Don't have any connections? ”
These words reminded Ji Xiaosi, and he slapped his thigh violently, "If I'm not mistaken, there are really a few old customers in the next few counties." Big brother, don't worry, I will go out tomorrow to find someone for you, and promise to find five or six scholars for you to enrich the county government. In any case, our family can't lose to the Han family. Sooner or later, we will be able to produce a few readers. ”
"Then you should study hard and don't let people laugh at you all the time. After a year and a half of study, you only know 300 words, you must be lazy every day. ”
Ji Xiaosi is wronged and wronged.
"Big brother, forgive me, I really can't learn. Let me do anything else, but this reading and literacy will cost me my life. I finally completed the shopkeeper exam, and now I have to continue studying, which is really worse than death. ”
Work under the hands of the owner, everything is good, the treatment is good, and the benefits are good.
The only bad thing is that the requirements for stewards and shopkeepers are getting higher and higher, and they must be literate.
It's not enough to be literate, you also have to be able to read and write.
Need to know more words.
I heard that in this year's assessment, the requirements will be increased again.
You have to know at least 500 words, and you have to write neatly.
It's going to kill you.
He was afraid that he would not be able to pass the test, and he would be an official, so he moved the idea of jumping out of the Four Seasons Cloth Village and going to the county government to help idle.
The county government must raise a group of helpers.
What county lieutenant, household room, torture room, he will definitely not be able to do it.
However, it's still okay to be a helper.
However, he seemed to feel that he had made the wrong decision.
It seems that he jumped from a small pit into another large pit.
The eldest brother looks like he is crazy about reading, and he will definitely not let him go easily.
Maybe it's even stricter than the gentleman in the literacy class.
Boom......
Is it too late for him to regret now?
He'd better go back and be the shopkeeper of his Four Seasons Cloth Village.
When the branch opens, he will stay as far away as the eldest brother, and the farther away the better.
"What are you running? I asked to go to the county office to help, and now I want to regret it? ”
Ji Ping's face sank, and Ji Xiaosi's legs trembled with fright.
He trembled and said, "Big brother, forgive me, I just remembered that Buzhuang arranged a lot of errands. I'm afraid I won't be able to help my eldest brother. ”
Ji Ping sneered, "Where is the Four Seasons Buzhuang branch, what are you busy with without a store?" Pingyang County is in ruins, and the Four Seasons Cloth Village wants to reopen, so it will take half a year to wait for the autumn harvest. You have nothing to do now, so run errands for me and recruit some talents.
Mr. Han had a large number of classmates, and he could write to his former classmates and ask them to become officials in Binh Duong County. I can't! I am a person from a Zhuang Ding family, and I have been a steward for several years, but there are a group of people under my hands who can do things. However, there is only a lack of readers.
Now sitting in the position of the county magistrate, I realized that a yamen is short of scholars. Just the exchange of documents and the delivery of official documents are indispensable to readers.
Prison judgment, court law, household registration...... There are many things that need to be done by readers. You said that if you want to help the county government, I will give you this opportunity. Ming'er will set off to find a reader, and I will entangle you. ”
Ji Xiaosi looked embarrassed, "I'm not good at reading!" I'm afraid of embarrassing my eldest brother. ”
"If you don't read well, then take half an hour more to read every day. I don't believe it, you don't even know a thousand words in a year. If half an hour a day doesn't work, it's just an hour. ”
Ji Xiaosi was about to cry, "I'm me, I don't want to study." ”
Ji Ping said sharply: "If you don't read it, you can't do it!" Working under Madame, the requirements will only get higher and higher, not lower and lower. In the past, Madame only had a rich villa, and she could deal with anything.
Now, Madame owns a county with five counties under its jurisdiction, and will have a population of hundreds of thousands in the future. There will also be a growing demand for readers. When there are more readers, what do I do to compete with others? If you want to help, you can't lag behind, and you must pass the reading and literacy level.
Our family is from Zhuang Ding. That is, our two brothers, a little clever, relied on their natural wit, and got out of the way. However, if you want to go higher and further, you need to put in more effort than others. The road ahead, relying on cleverness alone, can no longer cope with it. Do you understand? ”
Ji Xiaosi nodded again and again, and shook his head again and again.
He didn't understand it.
His eyes only see the present, not the long-term future.
He doesn't have the ability and vision to plan ahead, he was born to live one day at a time.
Now, listening to the eldest brother talk about what the future holds, he is confused and confused.
How far away is the future, what do you want to do so far.
Can you be a county magistrate, are you still not satisfied?
Of course, Ji Ping will not be satisfied.
He was an ambitious man, competitive by nature, and he could not be satisfied with the status quo.
He snorted coldly, "Let me tell you this, Pingyang County is just the beginning. I firmly believe that Madame's territory will grow bigger and bigger. It is as large as several counties, several state capitals, and even becomes a prince. If we two brothers don't work hard, the current position is the end of our lives.
There was even a day when I didn't deserve to continue to sit in the prefectural position and be replaced by a more talented and younger reader. Are you willing? I'm not reconciled! Therefore, you must not be willing. You have to cheer me up, read by rote, and read the book in my head. ”
Ji Xiaosi was about to cry.
He regrets it, okay?
He's content to be a shopkeeper, okay!
Ji Ping said twice.
Now regret it, it's too late!
Now that he is on his ship, he does not want to get off the ship.
Ji Xiaosi really cried, "What else can I do besides running errands and passing on words?" Is it so important whether you know how to read or not? ”
Ji Ping was furious, "Of course it's important!" I told you so much just now, all of them were playing the piano to the cow, and you didn't listen to a word. Let me tell you, with your current lazy nature, in less than three years, you will not even be qualified to be a shopkeeper.
You don't work hard to read and write, some people work hard. Those people are gearing up to take your place. Especially the small people in the capital who fled here with their wives from the capital, all of them are not lacking in knowledge, and they naturally understand the benefits of reading. If you continue like this, your errand will soon be taken away by that group of small people in the capital. ”
Ji Xiaosi disagreed.
How can the matter be as serious as the eldest brother said.
Pingyang County is poor and white, and there is nothing to ask for.
Without three or five years, how can it be developed.
Those small people in the capital, I'm sorry, let's all go to open up the wasteland and farm!
If you want to rob him of the shopkeeper errand, in the next life!
"Three or five years, you're dreaming." Ji Ping sneered.
"With Madame's eloquence, within a year, Pingyang County will change its appearance. I believe that Madame now has an overall plan. Soon, the county government will become a big construction site, and countless poor families will come to Binh Duong County to find work. At that time, you will find that the crowd will be more crowded than you can imagine. When the county government plans it, then the county government will also become a large construction site. At that time, there was no shortage of people like you. ”
Ji Xiaosi opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he lacked confidence.
"It takes a lot of money to rebuild the county government. Now, the cloth village, the miscellaneous soup, and the grocery store are all closed, and they can't work, and they have no income. Where did Madame get the money to recruit people to build a city? ”
Ji Ping shook his head again and again, very disgusted, "How did you sit in the shopkeeper with this brain?" The money earned from the business is just a drop in the bucket for Madame, and the main thing is to find something for everyone to do.
Madame's really profitable business is not what you said at all, and you can't even think of the profits. Moreover, Mrs. went south this time and made a windfall. The money and food needed to build the city are enough! ”
