Chapter 61: Fame
"There's no way he's going to go to war, what do you do with this?" Cai Guan wanted to see what kind of buns made his cousin care so much. Just go in. After eating a bun, it was a good job, and after trying the vermicelli again, he added another bowl to himself, and by the way, he listened to them, and when he heard them talk about this, he frowned.
"If you don't go to the battlefield, you have to be just in case, and so are the big brothers, you can't really fight against the enemy in peacetime, and it can be useful against assassins." She said lightly.
"Wait a minute!" Cai Guan seemed to think of something, but didn't catch it.
"As with seedlings in advance, you should put in all the possibilities and then be prepared. It's the same as your emergency response, and for example, we can't sign the Ministry of War, but if you have an emergency plan, you can't do it, and if you have a backup, you don't have to worry about eating melons. She knew what Cai Guan was thinking, and raised her eyebrows.
"Emergency plan?"
"That's it. Any scenario is designed into it. In case of a flood next year, what should the county government do? Every step is designed, and then it will be as it is arranged. The water is coming, and then the farmer is prompted to prepare. While guarding the embankment, the women and children were evacuated. In case the embankment cannot be held and the flood is to be discharged, find a village with low production to open the embankment. to keep the rest of the land. There is a lot to do, but there is preparation, and everyone has something to do. Of course, when making a plan, in addition to thinking carefully, it must also be feasible. No matter how well the plan is done, it cannot be implemented, and it is prepared in vain. ”
"You blacksmiths have a plan, too?"
"No, but I'll be prepared when I find out later, but our plan will be some safety protection for the work. We have all stoves here, and the houses are all wood, and if we are not careful, it will cause a catastrophe. So you have to train with them when you have nothing to do, and when something happens, everyone can minimize things. Xin Kun thought for a moment, this has to be prepared. There are also frequent drills in the school, and everyone has to participate in everything, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Think about it, you have to prepare first aid, and if someone gets hurt, you have to be prepared.
"This is kind of interesting, I'm going to think about it when I go back." Cai Guan suddenly shouted, "You kid, you have such a good brain, go to study quickly, the children's exam is in February, do you think you still have a lot of time?" ”
"More than half a year!" Guo Peng is a bit of a black line.
"In order for you to do well in the exam, I decided to go back and make your study plan. After that, there will be one test in two or two months, and only two times in three years. If you dare not pass the exam during my tenure, I will kill you. ”
"Master, I'll move in August."
"Your household registration is in this county, so you can only come back to take the test. I have to take the test back for me. ”
"Master, I'm actually still keeping filial piety, although I have already been filial piety in February next year, but the death of my parents is unlucky, I want to keep it for a few more years, and I will keep it with my mother. Isn't there a precedent for this? ”
"Brother Kun, that, that, if you think about it again, it will delay saying kiss." Guo Peng said busily.
"That's a trivial matter, and nothing can stop my filial piety to my parents." Xin Kun glared at him.
"Go, less." Cai Guan yelled at him, "I will report your name, if you dare not come to the test, wait to go to prison!" ”
After finishing speaking, Cai Guan took the bowl and left.
Xin Kun was speechless, he knew that if he didn't go to the exam, he would be teasing the government with the government, and the result would be very miserable at this time, and it was not easy to sign up.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, cousin admires you. But when you are his founding disciple, when you look back, you have been admitted to the fame, and you are your cousin's student, and when you look back, wherever you go, others will look up to you. Guo Peng could only comfort him in a good voice.
"Which eye do you see that I have the temperament of a reader? Is there a reader with a hammer in his hand? Xin Kun glared at Guo Peng.
"It's a hobby, a hobby. It's an indisputable fact that you can read! You can study and not take exams, which is a loss for the imperial court. I can't even stand it! Guo Peng also crossed his hands and straightened his waist.
"Go, how much does your cousin make a month, and how much do I make a month? How sick do I have to be to take the exam? Xin Kun also crossed his waist and roared.
"It's different, isn't it? Brother Kun, you can also strike iron in front of an official, in this way, what you fight is Ya Play, which is more valuable. Think about it, my axe is made by Lord Xin of the Ministry of Works, but it has no price! Think about it, at that time, how many people begged you to fight. ”
"I just want to hit you right now." Xin Kun jumped to his feet, put down his chopsticks, and went home.
"But I think Master Xin is right, it's only been a long time, and I earned you 10,000 taels, which is really enough to eat for a lifetime, not to mention that people can continue to earn, even if they are admitted to the top prize in the future, in addition to corruption, how long will it take to earn 10,000 taels?" One of the guards said heartily.
"If he is an official, even if he only works as a Hanlin for two years, he can only pass on his reputation when he returns to his hometown to strike iron, who dares to touch him! So where can you understand the mind of the master? Xin Kun glared at them.
When the guards heard it, it was also the truth, they really had a reputation, and the entire Xinjia Village didn't have to pay taxes, this was the hometown of Master Xin, and whoever was going to be the master in the county didn't dare to do anything to Master Xin. Therefore, this is much stronger than tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.
"Master is clever!" Everyone bowed to Guo Peng together.
When they ate the steamed buns, the craftsman and Xin Ye were also there, but they took a cage and ate it slowly in the workshop, and they didn't bother to talk to them. But when Cai Guan got angry, Xin Ye had to come out, but he didn't get close, there were some things that they couldn't intervene in.
Seeing Xin Kun go away in anger, everyone was also worried. As a result, when he heard what Guo Peng said, the old man went back to sit down silently.
"Old man, why don't you allow Brother Kun to take the exam." A master craftsman asked in a whisper.
"He doesn't like to read, although he is very smart in reading, but this doesn't mean that people who are smart in reading must be tested for fame, right?"
"But can those who have merit be the same as those who are not?" Xiao Gong said.
"If you want to make a name for yourself, go to the test yourself." The old man roared.
"Master, you are really. I want to be able to read, to be able to do small jobs. "That little worker is a bit of a grievance.
"Okay, you grow taller, eat more." The old man gently touched the little worker's head and gave him a bun.
"Master, this bun is so delicious."
"Eat less, don't break it." The master craftsman slapped the kid.
"Alright, let him eat! I asked Aunt Li to keep some and bring a few back with each person in the evening, although it was not a good thing, so I could let the family try it. Xin Ye also knows that the most difficult thing now is these small jobs, if the family is not so difficult, he will not send his children to do this hard work.
