Chapter 831: New Dynasty Weather
"This Zheng Feihuang is acting so shamelessly!" The Qiao family was so angry that they didn't know what to say, but no matter how angry they were, they couldn't change the situation of the growing rumors, they refused to move the ancestral tomb under the pretext of feng shui, and Zheng Feihuang added fuel to the fire and made the rumors of good feng shui of their ancestral tomb go to the next level, forcing the Qiao family to give in to Zheng Feihuang.

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they could only report to the local officials as soon as possible, indicating that they were willing to move the ancestral grave, otherwise it would be too late to wait for the news to reach the capital, and it would not be Zheng Feihuang who would come to trouble them at that time, but the people in the capital.
In this way, this problem, which had given Zheng Feihuang a headache for a long time, was easily solved by Zhou Bofu, and the obstacles encountered in the process of paving the road were getting smaller and smaller.
At the same time, many new policies of the imperial court also spread in Shannan Dongdao, bringing great changes to the people here, in a remote mountain village, a ragged man is packing his bags, and next to him, a young man who is also shabby, but a lot of neat and tidy is persuading, "Brother Guo, the road to Hedong is far away, and there are barbarians there from time to time, you better think about it more!" ”
"No need to persuade anymore, staying in this Niujia Village is also a dead end, renting Liu Dahu's land, a year of exhaustion and hard work can not fill the stomach, I have been farming for him for more than ten years, still can only live in a grass shed, not even a full meal, no matter how hard it is to go to Hedong Road, you can always see a little hope, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not a problem to eat well, I can't say that I can still earn a share of the family business, marry a daughter-in-law, so that my Guo family can be regarded as a queen!" The man surnamed Guo packed up the poor little package, which contained only a few tattered clothes, two large porcelain bowls with broken edges, a sharpened sickle, and a few swarthy nests made of unknown grain, these were all his belongings.
"It's still thanks to Brother Yang that you can be literate and literate, so that I know that the imperial court recruits people to go to Hedong Road, otherwise I'm afraid I can only wait for death in this Niujia Village." After packing his luggage, the man surnamed Guo solemnly thanked the young man surnamed Yang, "Don't thank you for your kindness, if I break into a famous hall in the future, I will definitely have a good reward, but by that time, I'm afraid that Brother Yang will already be a high school scholar and an official in the court, right?" ”
"At the beginning, I just thought that with this official document, I could let Liu Dahu reduce some rent, so that Brother Guo's life can be better, but I didn't expect Brother Guo to have such courage, but now I think about it, I don't know if it was right or wrong to tell you this." The young man surnamed Yang said in a tangled way, after the news of the imperial court's recruitment of homeless people spread, Liu Dahu did reduce some rent, and the villagers of Niujia Village were able to breathe a little relief from the heavy oppression, because now the young people in the village have a lot of thoughts about going to Hedong Road, and the man surnamed Guo is the most resolute one, in order not to let his tenants lose too much, Liu Dahu can only endure the pain and make profits, otherwise his land will only be wasted, and the agricultural technicians sent by Si Nongqing to various places are teaching cultivation methods. When selling new seeds and implements, the buyer should also be investigated, and they will not be allowed to obtain any of them if they conceal the number of acres, evade taxes, or exploit tenants too much.
"It's all because of the kindness of the new emperor now, Liu Dahu will reduce the rent, I think that since he is a good emperor, he will definitely not lie to us, and he will definitely be able to get his own land when he arrives in Hedong Road, and it will be cost-effective to have his own land for others to be tenants? I don't have the courage to invest in the military to gain fame, but I still have a few strengths, and things like farming and clearing land are not difficult for me at all. The man surnamed Guo patted his chest and said.
"Yes, if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness and getting scholarships and bursaries in the academy, I would want to study now but I wouldn't want to." The young man surnamed Yang smiled bitterly, his father was also a talent back then, although his family background was not rich but well-off, so he could teach him to read and write, but unfortunately before he grew up, his father was killed by bandits on the way to Fucheng to take the exam, and their family soon fell, and he had to put down his books and struggle to survive.
Fortunately, after the Jia Dynasty won the Shannan East Road, schools were opened in each county, recruiting students from all over the county to enroll in school, and scholarships were given to those with excellent grades, and those who passed the grades but were poor also had a place to apply for a scholarship, and he took the exam with the hope of just in case, and was shortlisted because of the foundation laid in the early years, and got a scholarship that was not rich but enough for him to maintain his studies, so that he could continue to study.
"Brother Yang, you have been smart since you were a child, if you hadn't been delayed for a few years, you wouldn't have been a showman by now, you don't have to worry about my affairs in Hedong Dao, concentrate on studying and get in the exam as soon as possible, if you are assigned to Hedong Dao as an official, maybe I will continue to trouble you!" The man surnamed Guo is actually a little reluctant.
"It's too difficult to get into the science department, and I don't have such a rich family background to wait for the second or third year without middle school for a year, so I plan to rely on arithmetic and take advantage of the fact that there are few people studying arithmetic to find a future as soon as possible." The boy surnamed Yang also knows his own situation, although he has been taught by his father when he was a child, but he still can't compare with those scholarly children in the scriptures, so he can only find a unique way, after some study, he found that he still has a little talent in arithmetic, and his arithmetic grades can be among the best every time, and the teachers in the school have repeatedly persuaded him, so he made such a decision, "As long as I can get the first place in arithmetic in the second half of the year, I can go to Fucheng to study in middle school without examination according to the school's regulations, In a few years, you will be able to take the imperial examination! When the time comes, I will write a letter to Brother Guo and send it, let's see you in the capital! ”
"I don't know how to read." The man surnamed Guo said in embarrassment, "And I don't know that I will be assigned to that place in Hedong Road at that time, even if Brother Yang, you may not be able to receive a letter to me." ”
"But you don't have to worry about it." The young man surnamed Yang explained, "Now that the new dynasty has changed the role of the post station, you only need to spend a little money to deliver letters through the post station, and there are also people in the post station to help read and write letters, I will leave my address in the school for Brother Guo, and Brother Guo will reply to me after settling down, so you can do it!" With that, he handed a note to the man surnamed Guo.
