Chapter 532: Castle Peak Academy

Chrysanthemum interrupted her and said, "My lord feeds the chickens himself, my son and daughter also feed the chickens, and I also feed the chickens." "Everyone has their own goals and means to pursue, feeding chickens is better than giving people playthings, okay, Mrs. Huang thinks?" ”

Everyone secretly swallowed their saliva, looked at Chrysanthemum, and saw that she seemed to be not talking about feeding chickens, but talking about some advanced knowledge, and they were all weird.

Gao Wan'er looked at everyone with a smile.

Seeing Mrs. Huang's embarrassed face, Mrs. He was amused, and she said to Chrysanthemum: "Speaking of this, I can't help but praise my younger brothers and sisters: Your lotus leaf chicken tastes really good." My lord first said that he would take care of Brother Zhang's business, so he went to buy the lotus leaf chicken. Who knew that as soon as I ate it, I became addicted, saying that the cook at home did not make it as good as what I sold in the shop. Now our master simply doesn't call it anymore, and he has to go to the Yang family's cooked food store every day to buy a few, and even the fish and rabbit are often bought. The business of that shop is so good that you can't buy it when you go late! ”

When everyone heard this, they changed the topic and praised the lotus leaf chicken.

Mrs. Fang opened a lotus leaf chicken in front of her, she picked up a piece of chicken breast meat with chopsticks, raised it and smiled: "This lotus leaf chicken tastes good, in addition to simmering over slow fire and using even ingredients, this chicken is also meritorious." ”

Everyone found that Mrs. Zhang, who was still smiling and chatting just now, suddenly brightened her eyes, and told them all kinds of interesting things about raising chickens, and her spirit was bright.

Even Chrysanthemum herself didn't realize that she and Zheng Changhe were really father and daughter: Zheng Changhe talked to people about planting crops, and it was a head-to-head; Chrysanthemums also have this problem now, and when they talk about chickens, ducks and fish, and even the experience of growing mushrooms, they will also be refreshed.

“…… My family has a lot of acorns and corn dregs, and it is cheap to feed the chickens, so I scatter them in the forest, which is similar to the pheasants on this mountain, and the natural meat quality is not bad. Not like usual. When I was a child, my family was poor and there was nothing to feed the chickens, so my brother and I would dig up crickets from under the firewood. Dried and crushed the mixed vegetable leaves and fed to the chickens. Like this season, when the autumn harvest is in the field, the chickens will be tied to ropes on their feet and led to the fields to find insects and grain to eat. ”

She saw that Mrs. Fang, Miss Six, and Mrs. He listened with relish, and then said, "Madame doesn't know, this chicken is looking for some live food in the field to eat, and it grows well." You can get fat in ten days, and the eggs laid on those days are bigger......"

She said with a smile, glancing at a few noble ladies with disgust in her eyes out of the corner of her eye, not feeling embarrassed at all.

This is exactly her purpose: some people, if they dislike her, can take this opportunity to have less contact, and she still wants to associate with her, but is happy to associate with her. Like Mrs. He, she didn't look disgusted at all.

To her surprise, Mrs. Fang couldn't see through it. But Miss Fang Liu listened extremely seriously and attentively, and her gaze was different from the previous dignified and polite, and she was more intimate.

Although Mrs. He was happy to hear it, she didn't compliment it indiscriminately, she smiled and said: "It's funny to listen to what my brother and sister say, but my sister can't do this. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Everyone has different specialties?" It's my sister who is verbose, speaking of which. I can't help but want to tell people to be happy and happy, and I don't care if people like to listen to it or not. I think it's the same as being good at drawing, embroidering, playing, cooking, etc., and they must be very interested when they talk about what they are interested in. ”

I heard a burst of laughter, and it turned out that a lady couldn't help laughing, and when everyone looked at her, she blushed. Busy said: "Listening to Mrs. Zhang's strange and interesting ......"

But the tone was very far-fetched, and everyone understood that she must have been laughing at Mrs. Zhang just now, and even compared feeding chickens with those elegant skills.

Miss Fang Liu's eyes flickered, swept around the people sitting around, and chuckled at Chrysanthemum, "It's the little sister who is arrogant." I thought that such small skills were not worth mentioning. Today, from Mrs. Zhang's mouth, I have another taste. Legend has it that the pre-Qin luthier Boya once played the piano in the barren mountains and wilderness, and the woodcutter Zhong Ziqi was able to comprehend the artistic conception of "towering ambition in the high mountains" and "oceanic ambition in flowing water" depicted on his fingertips. It can be seen that there is no definition between elegance and vulgarity, and elegance is to the extreme, and it must return to the basics, abandon manpower and chisel, and act recklessly. Xiaomei suddenly understood why the bonsai of Zhangjiashan Yezhai was so unique. She winked meaningfully at the chrysanthemum, "I heard that Master Zhang hasn't studied for a few years!" ”

Mrs. Fang saw that her sister-in-law who was above the top of her eyes actually said such a thing, so she also laughed and said, "Sister, don't say things like 'elegant' and 'vulgar', and my sister-in-law can't understand it." However, our lord said that the chicken produced by the Zhang family is delicate, and even the cured chicken sold in the newly opened Qingshan local product shop tastes better than ours. Our lord also said that he wanted to ask Mr. Zhang for advice! ”

Chrysanthemum smiled at Miss Fang Liu: "Although Miss Fang said so, elegance is elegance, and vulgarity is vulgarity." We people in the countryside, ploughing the fields, fishing and hunting, even if they enjoy themselves, but they are all their true colors, no more than a real gentleman, taking the simplicity of 'great ingenuity, thick and then light", how dare they compare! ”

After speaking, he turned to Mrs. Fang and said, "This chicken raising is not a difficult matter, it is nothing more than what I said just now." As for the taste of the preserved chicken, it does not mean that the Fang family is not good, the mystery is nothing more than 'the fragrance of rice in the other pot'. What's more, our family specializes in selling home-grown things, and the quantity is only so large, and people's psychology is more and more that it is strange. ”

Mrs. He clapped her hands and laughed when she heard this, and the other lady said, "That's really the case." In the autumn and winter of previous years, our family was eaten by the buyer's cured meat, and this year I suddenly ate the cured meat of my younger brother and sister's family, and I felt a little different, and I wanted to buy it again, so the comprador went to a trip, and came back and said that it was sold out, and the next batch was not ready. Madame thought, isn't this an appetizing? ”

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and laughed, and they all said that this was the truth.

Miss Fang Liu listened to what Chrysanthemum said just now, and she was really a little moved: This Mrs. Zhang was not vulgar, and she didn't know the depth because she learned Wen Mo, but she was confused.

Talking and laughing, Chrysanthemum asked people to distribute grilled fish, rabbits and other things, and let grapes make pheasant mushroom soup with freshly picked mushrooms, and everyone rushed to try the grilled fish themselves.

After eating and drinking, they went fishing again until the sun set in the west, and everyone returned with some local products.

After that, Mrs. He and Miss Fang invited chrysanthemums several times, but the Zhang family was busy. She didn't even have to go out freely.

Not to mention the two new workshops, the two fungus mushrooms in autumn alone made the Zhang family so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. Of course, the silver is also flowing home, and the Zhang family has really entered the time of the outbreak.

Over here. The power of family relatives cannot be ignored, and it is obviously inappropriate to use all outsiders. So, Huaizi recruited the third uncle's family, and selected two honest brothers from the relatives of the Zhang family to help him, which stimulated the eldest grandfather and the fifth grandfather's gang.

Aoki called his second uncle's family here, and both of them were quite capable. can help himself, and secondly, the Yang family can often meet with his grandmother Wang, and the second uncle and second aunt come incidentally.

Just in the busy season, two more things happened, but they were connected, and now the entire Xiatangji people were excited, and Qingnan Village was even more busy.

One of them is that this winter, the county will summon strong men to serve in the conscription, and they will do a big project. It aims to widen the channel from the tributary of the Qinghui River to the section of Xiatangji.

The current county magistrate of Qinghui County is still a clear person, and he sees that Xiatangji is changing with each passing day, and its development momentum will surpass that of Qinghui County. After the expiration of the two-year term, it is needless to say that the evaluation of the officials is enough, even the oil and water are enough, and the wonderful thing is that there is no need to squeeze the people too much. So he suddenly had ambitions, to do something practical for the people, and to make another political achievement, and it was not in vain that people called him a "parent official".

After the tributaries of the Qinghui River turn southeast, it is a poor and remote place, and it does not lead to the big towns, but goes south around Xiaoqingshan. The people on this side of Xiatangji want to go out. You must take a boat upstream to enter the main road of the Qinghui River before you can go down the river to Linhuzhou and other places.

The county ordered to listen to the merchants complain that they could only use small boats to collect and transport goods in Xiatang, and if it was a large ship, it would be very troublesome, so they moved the idea of building water conservancy.

He was determined to do good. In order to avoid suspicion that he was greedy for ink, he did not allow rich people to pay for the service, nor did he hire people to serve on his behalf, but he had to bring his own dry food and go to work on the river for a month.

When the news came, people like the Zheng family blew up - Aoki was so busy that he didn't see day and night, how could he have the time to repair the river? This bullshit county order is obviously pretending, but I don't know that such a bad thing, if you really want to be careful, it is better to take the opportunity to collect more money from rich people, and then recruit more people to complete this project as soon as possible.

He was thinking about uniting the rich to negotiate the matter with the county order, and another news came, and the county order was overjoyed, and he was even more eager to repair the river. So Aoki took the opportunity to receive a task, so naturally he didn't have to serve this labor, he just had to pay the money.

This is the second thing: Zhou Fuzi is going to come to Qingnan Village to establish Qingshan Academy.

I don't know what happened in the court, the prime minister Zhou Nan (that is, the former Zhou Fuzi) retreated bravely, and when he was leaving, he dragged four or five important ministers off the horse with his teeth and claws, implicating countless officials. Overnight, the government and the opposition shook, and the whole world was shocked.

Originally, these things had nothing to do with the common people of Xiatangji, but Zhou Fuzi wrote to the emperor, saying that he was going to the countryside to establish a academy, and to convene the scholars and Confucians to gather to give lectures, so as to flourish the free lecture style of Confucianism and correct the ills of the country, and the location was in Xiaoqingshan, which was ruled by Huzhou Mansion, where he used to live in seclusion.

Emperor Yongping was in power, and at this time, he saw that the teacher was closer than his father, so he promised to ask for money and things.

Unexpectedly, Master Sun, the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu, who was forced to step down by Master Zhou, sarcastically mocked him, saying that he tried in vain to control the world's scholars in the name of running the academy, and his heart could be punished, and if one day the scholars "satirized the government and politics, judged the characters, and shook the imperial court", then the national capital would be shaken.

Without saying a word, Master Zhou immediately took out the prepared "Plan for the Establishment of the Academy" and "Regulations on the Management of the Academy" and presented it to the emperor, obviously having prepared for a long time, and the latest series of measures were all planned by him for a long time.

Self-financed tuition to build academies, self-employed teachers, the imperial court sent people to supervise, equal emphasis on book collection and reading, questioning difficulties and free lectures...... One by one, the emperor was very excited.

Although this academy is a private school, it is still under the control of the government, but it is different from the Fuxue and Guozijian: students come and go freely, open the door and courtyard, and welcome people of insight and aspiring students from all over the world, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they can be enrolled.

When Master Zhou took advantage of the emperor's reading of the article, he had another quarrel with Lord Sun, and Lord Sun swore that he would also run a academy in the north.

Zhou Fuzi sarcastically ridiculed him for "being attached to power, reluctant to give up Gyeonggi, vainly trying to recover, waiting for an opportunity to grasp the ...... of the government" so angry that Lord Sun almost vomited blood, and in a fit of anger, he begged the emperor to allow him to go to Linhu Prefecture to run a academy "to compete with Zhou Nanmu (Master's character Nanmu) old horseman".

So, a group of old immortal friends invited friends and companions, and rushed to the south to run a academy, and the place of struggle shifted from the court to the people.

The emperor happily cleaned up the aftermath at home, and countless officials were also active, fornicating in series, intersecting and rejecting differences, staring eagerly at the court situation, and the post roads were galloping horses, very busy.
