Chapter 66 Methods
The second more
The seedlings of the Xin family emerge very quickly, and soon they will be lush and green, and Xin Kun is still used to going out to water the ground alone, going to the county government once every seven days to strengthen his study.
Cai Guan is a good teacher, think about it, don't let her study alone, but every seven days, put the students who are preparing to take the children's examination in the county's private school together, and directly open the number room of the county school, let them take the test every seven days, one test at a time, and comment on the spot.
Xin Kun thinks Cai Guan is a great person, she still likes to study, but can you not let her go to the exam. It's not that she's out of the box, and her poems and trial poems are becoming more and more unorthodox. The scriptures are so-so, if there are only eight strands of literature and strategy, she will definitely not be able to pass the children's exam.
"Don't you know how to crossword? Why is it still like this? Cai Guan threw a scroll in the county government study. Looking at his poems now, for Cai Guan, it is torture.
"There are only more than 20 words that can rhyme, which is very difficult to match." She said honestly.
"Don't fool me, I'm not Brother Peng's idiot. You did it on purpose, don't think I can't do anything to you. I'm an official, and the official word has two mouths, boy, think clearly. ”
"What is the use of me for you if I don't take the test, I don't have big ambitions, I just want to be the best craftsman, I like to read, but for me, reading is reason, not selling to the emperor's family. Can't you make me a craftsman with peace of mind? ”
"Don't you want to use what you've learned for the people? You know that the land also needs to recuperate, you know that millet seeds also need to be breeded, you know that you can also use scrap steel to make magic weapons, and many more, you know how much use you have learned to the people, and you know that if the millet is successful this time, the people of Gyeonggi counties will be less displaced, and how much silver will be saved for the imperial court. And how many people do you think this money will help? So? What do you think. Still don't want to take the test? If you hide and live a rich life, you feel that your people are a burden, so you immediately separate them and care whether they live or die. Anyway, if you give them the land and the workshop, even if they starve to death, it is none of your business, because you gave them everything, so they deserve to starve to death. But did you really teach them anything? Have you really done something for them? ”
"I'm an ordinary person, ordinary like a drop in the ocean. So, I'm leaving, I can only guarantee my family, my grandfather, a little more, I guarantee that the lives of those big craftsmen and small workers in my family will slowly get better. They may be able to change more people slowly, but I can't. My ability is only so little, even if I go to officialdom, I can't change more people. I will still only stay in my own side of the world, what does the rise and fall of the world have to do with me. If a foreign invasion occurs, I will go to the border pass, I will take all my craftsmen to the border pass, and I will die if the country breaks. But I can't control anything else. ”
Cai Guan stared at her eyes, gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word. Why did this dead eye fall into his own hands?
Xin Kun also knew that it was impossible for him to change Cai Guan's mind, and for a careerist like Cai Guan, it was useless to say anything to himself.
Silently went home, changed clothes and went to the workshop, the old man happened to have dinner with Lao Li, and when he saw her coming, he asked someone to take a bowl and serve her a bowl. The old man knew when she would come back, so he kept her food.
"Grandpa, don't leave the rice to me."
"Okay, one piece cooked, it's no different."
"What did you take today?" Lao Li hurriedly looked at Xin Kun.
"Try the poem!"
"It's very difficult, I don't seem to have learned to compose poetry." Lao Li has also read, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have expected Xin Kun to take the exam, he has no son, if Xin Kun can be admitted, he will also have a feeling of getting his wish.
"Yes, I can't learn it either, I was told by my grandfather." She laughed.
"What about the Ritsufu?"
"No, I didn't do a good job of commenting on it. I'm very good at strategy and Baguwen, and my grandfather may think I'm good in this area, so he will force me to take the exam. But I couldn't do it in three out of five, and it was a bit difficult to get in. Xin Kun smiled and sandwiched some dishes for the old man.
The old man immediately understood what his granddaughter meant, and took a bite of rice that was almost full of wheat and beans.
"I'm going to tassel in a few days, and I don't know if it's going to be good, I've been to other villages to see it, and everyone else has tasseled, and it looks very gratifying." The old man fell into a big stone in his heart and said to his granddaughter with a smile. This idea was came up with his granddaughter, and he was afraid that something would happen. If it doesn't work out, the peasants will tear them apart.
"Millet is a cheap thing, you don't need too good land, you don't need too much water, rest assured, our land is good, I water, weed, and remove insects every day, and it will grow better." Therefore, being a farmer is the hardest work, and you can't make a lot of money all year round. ”
"Yes, if it weren't for you, the whole county wouldn't know how many people would starve to death. So you've accumulated a lot of merit this time. The old man smiled.
"yes!" Xin Kun smiled dryly and thought for a while, "It's also a good master, change to a more old-fashioned one, and scold me for being a nasty child, so it's not my credit, it's the master's credit." ”
"This is also true, so not everyone can be a parent for the benefit of an official and benefit one party." The old man's words have a deep meaning.
"Yes, my temperament, at most, I sweep the snow in front of the door, and I don't care if it's frosty." Xin Kun smiled.
"It's not a bad thing, it's good to be able to manage the things of this world." The old man said lightly.
"The old man is really, Brother Kun has the ability, if he becomes a magistrate, he can do better than the current grandfather, he has his own brains. This is not a talent that the average person can have! "Uncle Li is not happy.
"Lord Cai is a noble person in Beijing, didn't you see the little prince call him cousin? Can he stay in such a poor place for the rest of his life? Why did he listen to Brother Kun'er? It's not that he's afraid of a catastrophe that will affect his political performance. Do you think he will care about the life and death of the people? What do we have? Compared with power or money, when he arrives in the court, he can make people die. The old man put down the bowl heavily.
"But ......," Uncle Li wanted to say more.
"Uncle Li, grandpa is for my good, and I don't like to be an official, tired." Xin Kun hurriedly pressed Lao Li and smiled at his grandfather, "Grandpa, I don't want to be an official, don't worry." ”
"I've always been relieved of your work." Xin Ye nodded with a smile and glared back at Lao Li.
"By the way, Uncle Li, I promised to give Sister Xiao An a set of kitchenware as a dowry, what do you like?"
"Give her a pot?"
"Pots? I don't know how to fight, I'll play a set of knives. "Xin Kunhe, she's okay with knives, but let her play the pot, she really can't do this.
