Chapter 227: Opening
After thinking for a long time, Bai Liang bowed his head and muttered unconfidently: "In the future, I will participate in the scientific examination in the future, and I will be a talent in the examination, a person, and a jinshi......"
The hands behind his back twisted together uneasily.
Shu Yu sighed secretly when he saw this.
Life without goals is destined to be confused.
"And then?" Shu Yu asked, "What about after you were admitted to the Jinshi?" What to do? ”
Wang Ping raised his head and glanced at Shu Yu quickly, then buried his head lower, and squeezed out two words: "Be an official......"
Shu Yu was dumbfounded, paused, and then asked, "What kind of official do you want to be?" ”
Bai Liang Huo Ran raised his head, and said in a firm voice: "A good official who loves the people like a son!" ”
"How to love the people like sons?" Shu Yu then asked.
"Let them be fed and clothed, and they will no longer have to suffer from war!" Bai Liang immediately replied in a deep voice.
The voice was not loud, but it was full of determination compared to the previous confusion.
This is the prayer of all the people in the border areas, and everyone who lives in the border areas has a deep understanding of this.
"In that case, what's the use of just reading books?" Shu Yu took advantage of the situation and taught, "If you want the people to be fed and clothed, you must understand the things of agriculture and mulberry; If you want the people to stay away from the suffering of war, you must know the art of war.
"For example, right now, if your archery skills are lagging behind others, you should seriously think about what the problem is and try to improve it. You must know that if you live in a border area, the higher your martial arts, the greater your chances of survival.
"And if you really become an official in the future, and you are a parent official in the border area, you will have to think about how to improve your weapons and arrange troops to prevent foreign invasion.
"Of course, as the ruler of a land, this is a matter that naturally has the soldiers and horses to do it for you, but you can't completely ignore it, can you? Otherwise, if the subordinate officials deliberately fool you, what should you do? ”
With Shu Yu's questioning, Bai Liang's originally determined expression gradually became confused, but compared to the previous confusion, it was more contemplative and meditative.
Seeing this, Shu Yu got up and said, "You are a smart child, you will never forget to read, think about it yourself." ”
After that, I went to teach the children in the kindergarten how to shoot.
And Bai Liang, who has always been strict with the courtesy of teachers and students, bowed his head thoughtfully at this time, and did not come back to his senses until Shu Yu walked away.
……
After school in the evening, Shu Yu locked the door and led Xiao Wang to his home.
Before he arrived at the courtyard gate, he saw smoke curling on the chimney of his stove room, and he knew that his father and mother had gone to Xiushui Hezi Town to "find a dowry" for him, so he pushed open the courtyard door and shouted "Daddy, Mother" loudly.
Zhang Li responded in the stove room: "Hey! It's time to get out of school! Wash your hands and you'll be ready for dinner in a moment! ”
The voice is clear and cheerful, sweeping away the decline of the past few days.
Zhang Orion came out of the house, squatted down to catch Xiao Wangzhi who rushed over happily, lifted him high and turned around twice, and then held the person in his arms, and then took out a noodle man from behind him like a trick and handed it to Xiao Wangzhi.
Xiao Wangzhi was very happy, took the noodle man, thanked Zhang Orion, and then struggled to the ground, went straight to Shu Yu, and raised the noodle man high to offer treasure.
provoked Zhang Orion to be angry and laughing, and complained: "You little conscienceless! It's really hurting you! ”
That being said, the indulgent smile between the eyebrows and eyes has never dispersed.
When Shu Yu saw this, he knew that his father and mother were worried, and he also put his mind at ease, and went to play with Xiao Wangzhi with a smile.
……
After dinner, Zhang Li took out a cotton and linen blended cloth and urged Shu Yu: "Look, how about this material?" ”
Shu Yu joked: "Is this the dowry that my father and mother bought for me when they went to Xiushui Hezi Town today?" ”
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, and said: "What kind of dowry is not dowry, the girl's family is not ashamed to talk about this!" ”
Shu Yu: ......
You mentioned it first, okay......
I knew that the previous purchase of the dowry was just an excuse.
However, as long as her mother is happy, Shu Yu doesn't care about her.
Touching the material on the table, Shu Yu smiled: "It's very comfortable to the touch, light and sweaty, just suitable for making summer shirts." ”
"Not really!" Zhang Li said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhang said, this is just from Jiangnan, sweat better than cotton, softer than linen, just suitable for summer shirts!"
"Oh, yes! I heard that it was brought back by the caravan of the king and the horse company! ”
Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the communication system between the capital and Liaodong Mansion established by Han Yan and Wang Ji Ma Xing was finally officially opened, in addition to transmitting messages for Han Yan!
That's great news!
A smile spread out of his eyes, Shu Yu smiled and nodded in praise: "Yes, yes, yes!" Rush to work in these two days, and we will be able to wear a new cotton and linen summer shirt in May! ”
As long as the caravan can be profitable, then Wang Yaozu should have the confidence to stick to this business, and then the communication, personnel, and material exchanges between Han Yan and the capital will be much easier.
In other words, from now on, Xiao Wangzhi, as the only imperial heir of the Great Zhou, has already begun his journey back to Beijing!
How happy Han Yan would be if he knew the news!
Although it has only been two days apart, the lovesickness has already filled my heart and cannot be dispersed.
Zhang Li didn't know what Shu Yu was thinking, and was happily saying what kind of new summer shirt should be cut for everyone in the family!
"Fortunately, I chose a light smoky gray, which can be worn by men, women and children!" Zhang Li was complacent about his foresight, rejoicing and chattering, "When the time comes, I will make a long gown for Wangzhi's father, a cloth skirt for Shu Yu, a gown for you, and a ...... for Xiao Wangzhi."
Even Zhang Orion, a person who doesn't care about this matter at all on weekdays, listens to it like a while now, echoing or refuting it from time to time.
Today, the couple went to Xiushui Hezi Town, and went to the most famous hexagram stall to re-combine Han Yan and Shu Yu with eight characters and ask for a wedding date, which is roughly in line with what Lingwei Taoist said, the marriage of the two is a match made in heaven, and it is a good omen for a happy white head, and the two of them are completely relieved.
That's why I have the heart to buy cloth and cut new clothes.
There was laughter and laughter in the small courtyard of the Zhang family, and the atmosphere in the main tent of the Liaodong Army camp was tense and dull.
After listening to the staff's reply, Zhen Guogong waved his hand to let people retreat, and sat upright with his eyebrows on his face, speechless for a long time.
Although he is strict in governing the army, he also knows the truth that "when the water is clear, there are no fish", so as long as he does not overdo some "small actions" in the private of his subordinates, he has always been flexible.
For example, General Wang Jigao used his power to promote his children and nephews, and he also knew it.
What are the soldiers in front of them fighting for? It's not for the sake of a safe and smooth life for his wife and children.
But he never expected that Wang Jigao would use his authority to arrange the position of the supervisor of the soldiers and horses in Kangping County for his parents and children, and support the horse market business in Xiushui Hezi Town for his nephew, even if he dared to stretch out his hand to the military horses of the Great Zhou!
Good horses are easy to get, military horses are hard to find, Wang Jigao has been in the military for many years, and he will not understand this truth!
If it weren't for the fact that Han Yan happened to ride a Pivara military horse this time, which aroused the suspicion of the border patrol general, and then reported it, he inquired and learned that this horse was given by Wang Jigao's nephew Wang Yaozu, and even Wang Ji had a military horse of the Great Zhou in the horse shop, so he was shocked and sent someone to secretly investigate, but I don't know how long I will be deceived by that Wang Jigao!
