Chapter 26: Someone from the Academy
Before the county test, Chen Mo told Lin Xiaoshu to contact the strong laborers of the village in advance, and now it seems that eighty percent of them are going to be in the soup.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaoshu opened his mouth to scold and complain.
"I'm almost angry, the things that were set before, when I say that the hexagram will be changed, everything is something."
"Xiaoshu, you also have to understand the neighbors, it's not that you don't want to come, but you don't dare to offend Wang Papi. Who doesn't want to earn a hundred dollars a day? ”
The person who spoke was named Lin Feng, Lin Xiaoshu's cousin, and he was also a well-known capable person in ten miles and eight townships, and he could handle everything in bricks and woodwork.
"Third brother, Xiaoshu, eat first, and then talk after eating." Chen Mo greeted Qin Xianglian.
"Shimei, Xiaoshu told me about the construction of Huilongwan, the three of us can't play at all, do you have any other way?"
Lin Feng squatted on the ground and asked while picking up rice.
"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it can always be solved."
Regarding Wang Fuxing's obstruction, Chen Mo had already anticipated it, which was why he told Xu Lidong yesterday to let Mrs. Wang come over as soon as possible.
With her, are you worried about finding a worker?
"Official, someone is coming." At this moment, Qin Xianglian pointed to the entrance of the peach forest, "It seems to be the chief, and he is followed by a few neighbors." ”
"What does this king want to do?" Lin Xiaoshu stood up.
"Third brother, watch the little tree, don't let him mess around."
Chen Mo admonished, got up and greeted him.
"Why is the lieutenant here, is there something?"
"There's something, and it's three." Wang Fuxing looked at the charcoal kiln and said with a smile, "Shimei, I have summed up with all the neighbors and decided to gather the strength of the whole village to cut down and burn charcoal and make a fortune together." So don't go it alone, just stop burning this charcoal. ”
"Isn't it a bit difficult for a strong man to say this?" Chen Mo frowned and said, "I dug the kiln myself, and the peach forest was grown by myself, so I can't burn it?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, I mean stop making a small fuss, there are ten new charcoal kilns dug in the back mountain, and you will go there and burn them with your neighbors in the future."
"What the hell does the governor mean?" Chen Mo pretended to be confused.
Wang Fuxing took a step forward and said with a smile: "It means that everyone eats together when there is hardship, and everyone earns money together, and when the time comes, the book will be distributed fairly." ”
"I understand, that means I took the villagers to burn charcoal, sell charcoal, and then hand over the money to the lieutenant chief, and then the lieutenant chief distributed it uniformly, right?"
"It's not in vain that you've been reading for so many years, and you can understand it at all." Wang Fuxing nodded with satisfaction, "Since you agreed, let's talk about the second thing." ”
"When did I say yes?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Chen Mo, what do you mean?" The stickman next to him shouted, "We have all heard what we said just now, and you cannot be allowed to regret it." ”
"Fuck your fart."
Lin Xiaoshu held back his anger and had nowhere to spill, and was about to rush over when he heard the words, but was stopped by Lin Feng.
The stickman was about to attack, but he was also stopped by Wang Fuxing, and then squinted at Chen Mo.
"Shimei, this is a major event for our whole village, you have to weigh it clearly. You read poetry and books, but you can't be confused about this kind of thing, a few neighbors said, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The neighbors chimed in.
“……”
Chen Mo didn't speak, but looked at the few people who nodded, their eyes collided and they avoided each other, looking empty and at a loss.
Chen Mo can understand their difficulties, after all, many people rent Wang Fuxing's fields, and some have to use their names to avoid taxes, which is really unaffordable.
Under today's social system, Wang Fuxing, as a squire, does not have to pay the tax on people, so many people will record the land in his name.
But because of this, Wang Fuxing was held in his hands, fulfilling his notoriety of being a king.
"Captain, isn't this right?" At this time, Qin Xianglian opened her mouth suspiciously, "My family officials are taking the test to gain fame, how can I lead the villagers to cut down and burn charcoal?" ”
"That's the second thing I'm going to say." Wang Fuxing stared at Chen Mo and said, "How about Shimei, do you want to talk about yesterday's county test here?" ”
“……”
Chen Mo fell silent again, staring at Wang Fuxing's gaze, a little more cold.
No matter where he got the news, he could come to the conclusion that he was going to make a big fuss about it.
The question is, now whether to tear the face.
It's not that I'm afraid that Wang Fuxing will shake off the truth, but Qin Xianglian suddenly knows the truth, can she stand it?
"Official, what happened to the county exam yesterday?" Qin Xianglian suddenly became nervous.
"Yesterday ......" Chen Mo hesitated.
"Since you're not easy to speak, let's talk about it in this book, ...... yesterday"
Wang Fuxing deliberately sold Guanzi, smiling and putting pressure on Chen Mo.
Just when Chen Mo was about to have a showdown, two people appeared on the path leading to the peach forest, and asked loudly while hurrying over.
"Dare to ask if this is Chen Mo's home?"
"Who are the two?" Chen Mo stepped forward suspiciously.
"We are from the county academy, and we are ordered by Lu Jiao to send the test papers for policy theory." One of them said.
Paper?
After Chen Mo was stunned, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Why did you still chase it home?
Is it so difficult to cut off your own fame?
"Are you mistaken?" Wang Fuxing hurriedly stepped forward to talk, "Yesterday, Chen Mo corrupted the etiquette system, wasn't he expelled from the examination room and disqualified from the reference system?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Qin Xianglian's face changed instantly.
"Official, what the lieutenant chief said is true?"
"The two gentlemen from the academy have brought the test papers, how can it be true." Chen Mo glanced at Wang Fuxing coldly.
"Two gentlemen, the slave family asks more, what will you do later?" Qin Xianglian was still not at ease.
"Later, the two of us will invigilate the exam, and Chen Mo can refer to it at home. After the test papers are answered, the wax will be sealed and the two of us will send them to the county government examiner. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, gentlemen, please." Qin Xianglian was extremely excited, "Don't be stunned, officials, go home quickly to wash and take the exam." ”
"Wait a minute, are you two mistaken?" Wang Fuxing asked unwillingly, "Throughout the ages, when have you ever taken the exam at home?" ”
"It doesn't matter if there was before, the important thing is that there is now. If you have to get to the bottom of it, then go to the county government and ask for yourself. ”
"I ......"
Wang Fuxing was stunned and was choked speechless.
Seeing this, Chen Mo raised his voice and said.
"Xiaoshu, take care of the charcoal kiln, everything will be said after I finish the exam."
"Don't worry, Brother Tu, whoever wants to move the charcoal kiln has to ask me about the axe in my hand." Lin Xiaoshu finally spit out the breath he was holding.
Returning home to clean his hands, Chen Mo opened the test paper of the strategy.
When I saw the title, my eyes lit up instantly.
A bold idea popped into my head.
