Chapter 126: Unexpected News

Yinxian County School is not far from the county government, covering an area of hundreds of acres, about 400 students, compared with Wuxian County School is obviously smaller, but the teaching quality of Yinxian County School is very high, each session of the Mingzhou Solution, almost half of the examiners are from Yinxian County School.

Fanning's partners have already arranged dormitories, and the nine of them have arranged three dormitories, and the county school treats them very favorably, not only is the room and board fees free, but even the professor who follows them is also the most famous old professor of the county school.

Fanning followed a teaching assistant to the dormitory, and the teaching assistant pointed to a room and said with a smile: "The little official lives here, if you need anything, just come to me!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Rowe!"

Fanning saluted, and pushed the door into the dormitory, the room was quite large, even larger than the dormitory of their county school, with three beds against the wall, and three desks and three bookshelves inside.

At this time, the room was very lively, and the eight companions were sitting on the three beds and were arguing passionately about something, and when Fanning came in, everyone stopped talking.

"What are you discussing?"

Fan Ning smiled and asked, "Why didn't you say anything when you saw me coming, are you talking bad about me?" ”

"Look at this person, how dark his mind is, always thinking that we are saying bad things about him" Su Liang pointed at Fan Ning and smiled.

Fanning walked in and found an empty seat to sit down, and asked with a smile, "It's not that I'm talking bad, that's something funny?" ”

Li Dashou scratched his head and said: "Senior brother, we are talking about today's shocking cattle case, and we all think that this is not an accident, but someone is deliberately planning to borrow money from Qingmiao of the county government." ”

Fan Ning nodded, although his partners were young, the students of the Song Dynasty were far more tempered than later generations in terms of human sophistication.

This is not to say that the students of later generations are inferior to the students of the Song Dynasty, but the main focus of the later generations is to cultivate the foothold of students, and the later generations mainly focus on the horizontal development of students, requiring students to have a broad range of knowledge.

The students of the Song Dynasty did not face the big explosion of knowledge like in later generations, they mainly developed vertically, and focused on the humanities, and studied a subject in depth, which made the students' thoughts more profound.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the ancients did not live long, and ordinary people lived to be fifty or sixty years old, and life was short, so how could it be possible for them to be mature and sensible in their twenties?

So, don't look at Fanning's partners are only fifteen or sixteen years old, but they have all gone through a ten-year cold window, and there is no difference between seeing problems and adults.

"What do you think of the green seedling law implemented by Wang County's order?"

Fan Ning's eyes fell on Dong Kun, Dong Kun is the nephew of Dong Governor of Pingjiang Mansion, his father is also an official in the court, and he is a typical eunuch's son.

"Dong Kun let's talk about it first!" Fan Ning simply called Dong Kun's name directly.

Dong Kun smiled and said: "My uncle talked about the Qingmiao Law in Yin County, he admired the courage of this Wang County Commander, my uncle said that this Qingmiao Law has been implemented for two years, and it is estimated that he has offended all people." ”

"Ah Kun, why do you say that?" Su Liang asked puzzled.

Dong Kun shook his head, "That's what my uncle said, but I don't know the specific reason." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Fan Ning, who smiled slightly: "The wealthy families are very willing to lend money to ordinary farmers, but their interest is very high, six to eight cents of interest, and the farmers must use the land as collateral, once the farmers can't pay it back, the land will belong to the wealthy families......"

Speaking of this, Fan Ning deliberately paused, he paid great attention to cultivating these disciples of his, so that they could deeply understand the essence of the Qingmiao Method, and in the future, when they went to officialdom, maybe they would become the backbone of Wang Anshi's reform.

At this time, Lin Hong said in a deep voice: "Senior brother means that this kind of borrowing money is actually a means for wealthy families to annex land?" ”

Fanning nodded, "You said the key point, Wang Xian ordered to lend money to farmers in the name of the government, just to prevent the annexation of land by wealthy families. ”

Su Liang also sighed lowly, "I understand, if you do this, how can Wang Xian Ling not offend people?" No wonder there are frightening cases! ”

"You may not know that on the third day of the first lunar month, someone poisoned the tea of Wang Xianling, maybe the amount of poison was a little larger, and Wang Xianling took a sip and found that the taste was wrong, so he spit it out, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Everyone looked at each other, they were a little stunned, and they actually poisoned the tea directly in the county order, which is simply incredible, how much hatred does this have to be done.

Fan Ning said lightly: "I heard that soon after Wang Xianling took office, he cleaned up the land mortgage contracts of a number of money shops, changed the interest of eight cents to two cents of interest, and then the government lent money to the farmers to clean up the old accounts, so the money shops in Mingzhou especially hated Wang County Ling. ”

"Could it be that the Shocking Cow Case was done by these money shops?" Lu Youwei whispered.

"It's very possible, but there is no evidence, let's talk about these speculations ourselves, don't talk nonsense when you go out, it will attract hatred, let's just study with peace of mind."

Fanning implicitly reminded everyone that they were here to study and not to get involved in the internal struggle in Yin County.

........

After lunch, everyone visited the county school under the guidance of a teaching assistant and familiarized them with the environment for their study in the coming month.

Yinxian County School, like Wuxian County School, was established by Qian Yuanjun, the second king of Wu Yueguo, and it is also a century-old school, with a lot of historical precipitation, but it is also a little dilapidated.

Many of the houses are pitch black when you walk in, with no light shining in, and even though it is daytime, it gives people a gloomy and oppressive feeling.

"The main reason is that the county's financial resources are too tight to take care of our school!" The teaching assistant smiled self-deprecatingly.

Although it was just a casual joke, Fanning sensitively caught a hint of dissatisfaction hidden in the other party's tone.

Of course, the county has money, but how can it lend money to farmers if there is no money? This assistant said that the county's financial resources are tight, and he is obviously dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's only management of farmers and disregard for the county school!

Fan Ning couldn't help but be a little worried about Wang Anshi in his heart, at any time, student assistance and running schools are a key point of the imperial court's inspection of the county, if he doesn't pay attention to the county school, he will lose points in promotion.

Fanning felt that it was necessary for him to remind Wang Anshi at the right time.

The group followed the teaching assistant out of the tube building and went to the library pavilion, at this time, Duan Yu lightly touched Fan Ning and whispered, "Is that person looking for you?" ”

As soon as Fan Ning turned around, he saw a middle-aged man waving here dozens of steps away, Fan Ning recognized it at a glance, it was Luo Huan, the county government's secretary, and Wang Anshi's staff when he took office, and he was currently responsible for managing household registration and other miscellaneous affairs, in fact, it was to help Wang Anshi control his financial power, and he had a lot of power.

Wang Anshi's situation in Yinxian County is very similar to Gao Fei, the county lieutenant and the county Cheng are both from Mingzhou, Wang Anshi relied on the support of Li Zhizhou to win the two important positions of household registration and housing and capital head, so that he can stand firm, and he has the courage to fully implement the Qingmiao Law.

Fan Ning hurriedly greeted him, "Is Mr. Luo looking for me?" ”

Luo Huan smiled, "The county gentleman asked me to come over, he has something urgent to do, and he was originally scheduled to pick you up in the evening, but he had to postpone it for two days, the county gentleman is very sorry!" ”

"It doesn't matter, we just happen to be adapting to the county school."

Fan Ning said, his brain was also running rapidly, what urgent matter would Wang Anshi have, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Could it be that the shocking case has eyebrows?" ”

Luo Huan gave a thumbs up and praised: "The little official is really smart, and it is indeed related to the shocking case!" ”

Luo Huan knew very well that the county monarch valued this young man, and it is said that the green seedling law that the county monarch had considered for a long time decided to implement it under the encouragement of this young man.

This made Luo Huan can't help but glance at this young man, especially the county magistrate asked him to notify him, instead of letting other scribes notify, is there a little bit of inquiry in this?

Although the county monarch did not say it explicitly, Luo Huan, as the county monarch's confidant, should have this understanding.

Thinking of this, Luo Huan looked at both sides, and then lowered his voice and said: "The county monarch is very anxious, I just got the news at noon, Governor Li has returned ahead of schedule, I'm afraid I will arrive in Yin County tomorrow, and the county monarch must close the case before Governor Li comes back, otherwise the situation will expand rapidly, which will directly affect the implementation of the Qingmiao Law." ”

Fan Ning didn't show a sound on his face, but he was also secretly surprised in his heart, Governor Li will be back tomorrow?

In the morning, Wang Anshi also told himself that he would not come back until three days later, and this time it was two days ahead of schedule.

Of course, Fanning knew what it meant for Governor Li to come back, and the imperial court had a clear rule that all criminal cases above exile would be tried by the state government.

Before, Wang Anshi may have been able to use Governor Li's absence as an excuse not to hand in the case, but once Governor Li returns, the case will definitely be handed over to the state government.

Seven innocent lives were actually killed in the spring ploughing lending, and no matter how much Governor Li supported Wang Anshi, he could only suspend the government's spring ploughing lending, which was an inevitable procedure for dealing with the problem.

Unless this case can be solved before Governor Li returns, find out the culprit, and minimize the impact, Governor Li may not stop spring plowing and lending.

Fan Ning understood that Wang Anshi was anxious, and once he stopped lending for spring ploughing, it would also be a huge blow to farmers, and the Qingmiao Law might be unexpectedly suspended.

"I don't know who the murderer of the cow shock is?" Fanning asked again.

Luo Huan snorted coldly, "We traced the source of the green cow, and found that the cattle case was related to Desheng Money Shop, to be precise, it was related to Qiu Yong, the three proprietors of Desheng Money Shop, someone saw Qiu Yong and his two hardcore followers driving two cows into the city, one of the hardcore followers was caught, Qiu Yong and the other follower ran away, and the county gentleman was tracking down these two people." ”

Fanning didn't ask any more, clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for coming to inform!" ”

Luo Huan looked at Fan Ning for a moment and asked, "Didn't the little official have any suggestions?" ”

Fanning smiled, "My suggestion is only one sentence, lending is lending, arresting people is arresting people, these are two things, don't affect another thing because of one thing." ”

"Thank you for reminding me, I will go back and tell the county gentleman truthfully, and I will leave first."

Luo bowed, turned around and hurried away.

Fan Ning looked at his back and walked away, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart, who shot the ox that rushed towards Wang Anshi?
