Chapter 119 The Change of the People, Accepting a Student
Wangjia Village, a small village attached to Mocheng and living, the population of the village is not much, only more than 300 people, the cold morning in winter did not block their heart to get up and work, early in the morning, Wang Tiezhu got up, put on brand new clothes and walked out of the door.
As soon as he went out, the cold wind came from the surface, Wang Tiezhu squinted his eyes, his whole body was warm, he looked down at the gray cotton jacket, and showed a sincere and grateful smile on his face, he was just a peasant man who was almost thirty years old, he had no ability, in case he could get his hands on it, it was the brute force of that body.
He grew up step by step since he was a child, got married and had children when he was old, inherited a few acres of thin land from his father, and lived by farming and farming when he went to the city to do odd jobs, the life of the family was extremely difficult, the house was dilapidated, the cold wind blew in winter, the house was cold, and there was no temperature.
Just when he thought he would live his life like this, the turning point came! He is a rough man, he has never been to school, and he doesn't know a single big word, but he knows that there is money to take, or a lot of money!
Rushing for the money, he was the first to sign up.
At first, he thought that he would not be able to get so much money, after all, with his years of experience in odd jobs, the wages he received would always be deducted, but on the first day he arrived at the workplace, he was stunned and actually handed out clothes!
The material of the clothes is very solid, it is very warm to wear, and this outfit can be taken away! When he heard the news, he thought he was in a dream.
Everything that happened later made him even more in a trance, not only dressed well, but also eaten, eating three meals a day, and meat for each meal!
The first time he ate a working meal, he couldn't help but eat, and the result was that his stomach, which had not eaten meat for a long time, couldn't stand it and vomited it all, and then he gradually got used to it.
The salary is paid daily, and when the ten cents are sent to his hand, his hand holding the money is trembling, ten cents! This is the salary that usually takes him three or four days to earn, and he earns it on this day!
He immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and worked hard, for fear that he would be kicked out if he was not good at work! Everyone else thinks the same way, so their work is done at a flying pace.
After finishing their work, they were dragged to another place to repair the city wall, and they worked for three months in a row, and each of them became stronger, and saved a lot of money in their hands.
On the way to work, he secretly inquired that it was a woman named Ye Lanming who brought about all the changes!
After returning home, Wang Tiezhu used the money to improve the conditions of his family, first renovated the leaky house, and then made two warm clothes for his daughter-in-law and two children, and saved the rest of the money, but he has been secretly collecting Ye Lanming's movements, and he inexplicably agrees in his heart, as long as he follows Ye Lanming, he will definitely make money! You're sure to live well!
So when collecting raw materials for the food street, he looked at a few chickens and a pig raised by himself and signed up without hesitation!
After selling the chickens and the pigs, he directly used half of his savings to build a small chicken and pig farm near his home, raising hundreds of chickens and a dozen pigs.
When the people in the same village saw his actions, they all thought he was crazy! These days, chickens and pigs are not easy to raise! But Wang Tiezhu firmly believed that he was right, in fact, he did right, after he established a chicken farm and a pig farm, the Ye family immediately sent someone to inspect, signed a contract with him on the spot, and also sent someone to teach him how to better raise chickens and pigs.
The eyes of those who thought he was crazy before were red with envy!
It's a long-term business!
Coming back from the memories, Wang Tiezhu showed a sincere smile on his face again, he walked to the chicken farm near the backyard, and several big black dogs immediately stood up, and when they smelled the familiar smell again, they whined and lay down obediently.
Entering the chicken shed, Wang Tiezhu carefully checked the condition of each chicken, for fear that they would die, this is all money spent in vain!
After inspecting the circle, he got into the pigsty again, looked at the fat piglet, his face bloomed with joy, and he kept calculating in his heart how much money he could make.
After he went back after reading it, his daughter-in-law had already cooked a meal, waiting for him to eat, thick porridge and steamed buns, plus a few side dishes, such a breakfast didn't even dare to think about before, it would be good to have a mouthful of rice soup to drink.
After eating in two bites, Wang Tiezhu explained a few words to his daughter-in-law and went out with a hoe.
When he walked to the center of the village, he saw that some officers and soldiers came to post a notice in front of the sign, which was built some time ago, in order to let the people know the order issued by Mocheng at the first time.
Two officers and soldiers were posting notices, and the front of the notice board was full of people, Wang Tiezhu immediately squeezed over when he saw it, and pulled the shoulders of the people in front of him: "What are the new policies?" ”
"The city lord's mansion wants us to reclaim wasteland, have money to get, and receive seeds and farming tools for free, and no taxes will be charged for three years on the wasteland that has been reclaimed."
"The land here is too difficult to cultivate, the harvest of crops is not good, it is not cost-effective to reclaim wasteland, it is better to raise chickens and ducks!" It was said.
"Yes, it's not like no one has reclaimed the wasteland before, and no crops have been harvested, so who is still getting it now." Someone immediately chimed in.
When Wang Tiezhu heard this condition, he pondered for a while, this kind of rich reward, he instinctively made it by Lord Ye again, thinking like this, he hurriedly squeezed to the front, and asked the officers and soldiers carefully: "Official, is this proposed by Lord Ye?" ”
"Yes, it was Lord Ye who proposed it." The officers and soldiers said directly.
It's Lord Ye!
Wang Tiezhu's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately said, "I want to sign up, where can I go to register?" ”
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion Agricultural Division."
"For these two days, the number of places is limited." The officers and soldiers reminded again.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder." 、
Wang Tiezhu smiled on his face, the land was no longer cultivated, and he went straight to Mocheng with a hoe, for fear that it would be a step too late!
"Official, is it really, it was Lord Ye who led it?"
The remaining villagers directly surrounded the two officers and soldiers and asked nonsense.
"Really, really." The two officers and soldiers reluctantly repeated again and again.
After getting an accurate answer, the villagers dispersed directly, and the people who were interested ran directly to the city, and the previous experience told them that as long as they followed Lord Ye, there would be no pit for them! It's sure to make money!
…………
When Wang Tiezhu arrived at the Agricultural Division, it was overcrowded, all of them were peasants who had come to sign up to reclaim the farmland, and several officers and soldiers were sent to maintain order.
He was anxious to line up, half a day to arrive at him, and when he registered his name, he had a sense of reality, took the title deed and happily walked out, and soon someone led him to the place where the farm tools were stored, and when he came into the yard, he looked at the unfamiliar farm tools all over the ground, and opened his eyes in surprise, what kind of farm tools these are.
"Stand still, I'll explain to you the usefulness of these farm tools, and listen carefully, these farm tools are going to be returned." An officer and soldier explained in detail a number of improved farm tools such as Quyuan plows, which were forged from wrought iron and extremely sharp!
Wang Tiezhu was stunned when he listened, he listened to the official's explanation, and his eyes gradually radiated excitement, he was an old farmer, and he knew the great usefulness of these farm tools as soon as he heard it.
After listening to the explanation, he found a person from the same village, hired a cart, and carried these farm tools back as if carrying holy relics.
After returning to Wangjia Village, these farm tools caused an uproar in the village, and they could see how convenient and labor-saving these farm tools would be for farming.
The old village chief walked over tremblingly, he gently stroked these farm tools, and tears filled his eyes: "God bless me Dayan, God bless me Dayan." ”
"Iron Pillar, you take a few people to find a blacksmith to make a copy of these farm tools." After the excitement, the village chief immediately came over Wang Tiezhu and said.
Wang Tiezhu hesitated a little: "Village chief, it's not good to do this, they didn't say that these farm tools can be imitated." ”
"Stupid, since these farm tools have been distributed, they must have been prepared to be imitated, or the imitation is the purpose behind it, which is to make it easier for us to farm, otherwise why would we publicly announce these farm tools?"
"That's what you said, village chief."
Being treated like this by the village chief, Wang Tiezhu immediately came back to his senses, and he nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." ”
"As soon as possible, before the spring planting, let every household have a share."
Such a scene was played out in almost every village, and within a few days, almost everyone had a new farm tool, although the materials were not as good as those issued by the Guanguan authorities, and it was better than the old farm tools.
"You've done another thing that benefits the people."
In the study, Ye Lanming and General Mo sat opposite each other, and General Mo said with a smile.
"It's all small things, it's not like I made it, I just gave those craftsmen the conditions to let them realize their ideas, at most two words." Ye Lanming was very calm and prevaricated.
"Okay, okay, you're right, you're right." Mo Lao General's clothes, you are right.
"What did you call me for today?" Ye Lanming asked, she thought about it for a while, there was nothing important to discuss during this time.
"Ahem, ahem." Old General Mo suddenly coughed twice.
Listening to this deliberate coughing sound, Ye Lanming's mind turned around, feeling that nothing was good.
"Aren't you going to Zhen'an City in the next year?" General Mo said slowly.
"yes, what? Plans changed? Ye Lanming asked very cautiously.
"No, no, since it is planned and it will not change again." Old General Mo hurriedly shook his head.
"That's what makes you make this embarrassed face." Ye Lanming narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little selfishness on my part, I want you to bring one more person over, it's a long insight." General Mo thought about it and found a compromise.
"So that's it."
Ye Lanming breathed a sigh of relief gently, what did she think it was!
"Isn't it just taking one more person? No problem. She said yes.
"Since you agreed, then I'll let you meet now, and get acquainted with it first."
Seeing that Ye Lanming agreed, General Mo immediately answered, and did not give her a chance to regret it at all.
Looking at General Mo's eagerness, the green tendons on Ye Lanming's forehead twitched, and he was extremely sure that he had fallen into the pit, but he didn't know if the pit was big or small!
She looked at the back of the screen curiously, but she wanted to know what kind of character would be able to make General Mo speak, and she pulled a few names in her mind, and finally she locked on one person.
A petite figure slowly walked out from behind the screen, looking at this little child, Ye Lanming smiled bitterly, sure enough, it was him!
"Old general, wouldn't it be too risky for you to let him follow me? This trip to Zhen'an City is not peaceful. Ye Lanming rubbed the corners of his forehead and said with a wry smile.
"The Mo family is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is good for him to face these early, at least it is not a flower in the greenhouse, and he will be vulnerable when he grows up."
"And I'll also send secret guards to follow in secret, and nothing will happen." General Mo said solemnly.
"You make me think." Ye Lanming rubbed the corners of her forehead, she looked at Zheng Xiaoye's expectant eyes, and only felt that her brain hurt even more.
Zheng Xiaoye's identity is now in a state where everyone knows it, but no one has broken it.
General Mo's meaning is obvious, he wants to make himself Zheng Xiaoye's teacher, she is not worried about whether she is qualified, but worried about whether she is suitable.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lanming stretched a smile: "Since you can rest assured, then I might as well be respectful!" ”
Seeing that Ye Lanming agreed, a smile appeared on General Mo's face: "If he is disobedient, just hit him directly, don't take care of me." ”
"I'm definitely not going to mess with it." Zheng Xiaoye said solemnly, his little face was serious, and he almost raised his hand and swore an oath.
It's so cute!
A smile flashed in Ye Lanming's eyes, Zheng Xiaoye is much cuter now than when he first met him!
She coughed lightly: "Don't worry, I won't do it for no reason, it's the most inferior means, and I won't use it unless necessary." ”
She smiled brightly, but Zheng Xiaoye shuddered, he carefully remembered this sentence, combined with the scene of his struggle to make a living in the palace, he seemed to understand something.
Lord Ye is right, doing it is the most inferior means, at the beginning, those people could make their lives so miserable just by using their mouths, even the queen mother......
Thinking of his mother, his eyes lowered his eyes across the haze.
Sooner or later!
He's going to kill them all.
"Since it's decided, then you can call me a teacher, and I should be able to afford a teacher." Ye Lanming looked at Zheng Xiaoye and said solemnly.
"I've seen the teacher." Zheng Xiaoye did not hesitate, immediately bowed down and made a big salute, respectfully called the teacher, and after the salute, he hesitated a little: "Teacher, I haven't prepared to worship the teacher yet." ”
"Don't worry about that, since you call me a teacher today, then I will teach you everything I have learned, and it's up to you how much you can learn." Ye Lanming said bluntly: "I don't like students who are secretive and talk a lot, if you have any questions, just ask them directly, understand?" ”
"Yes, students understand." Zheng Xiaoye said respectfully.
"Okay, you go down first, I have something to say to your grandfather." She instructed Zheng Xiaoye.
Zheng Xiaoye glanced at his grandfather, walked out very obediently, and closed the door.
"Does the General know what it means for me to teach him?" Ye Lanming changed his previous lazy sitting posture, straightened his waist, and asked with a calm face.
Zheng Xiaoye, as the son of the empress, is most likely to inherit the throne, and she becomes his teacher, that is, the emperor's teacher, this position ...... It is counted as one person below and above ten thousand.
In addition, Zheng Xiaoye is still young now, in case she bewitches him......
"I know, but I believe you." General Mo said loudly.
"This world needs a Ming Jun, I can't call this Ming Jun, my old buddy can't teach it, that group of pedantic scholars can't teach it, and neither can the contemporary Confucian."
"Only you can! And I believe that you have no selfish intentions, and you will definitely be able to teach him well. ”
"You just believe me? Aren't you afraid that I will teach him to be a gentleman? ”
Listening to General Mo's words of trust, Ye Lanming's face warmed slightly, and he finally didn't see the wrong person.
"Don't be afraid." General Mo said without hesitation.
"If you are a gentleman, you will be a gentleman for a lifetime, and I can still protect it." He said lightly.
These words silenced Ye Lanming, and your plan was formulated with Zheng Xiaoye's success?
Anyway, you just don't lose money, right?
"Okay, I'm sure I'll do my best to teach, and I hope he can stick to it." Ye Lanming looked at the door and said with a chuckle.
The reason why she agreed was also because of her own considerations, although General Mo trusted her very much now, but what about after that? No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and becoming Zheng Xiaoye's teacher itself is also a kind of protection for her, otherwise she would not have agreed so easily.
"I'll take him to Zhen'an City to see the first lesson, during this time, the old general remembers to practice and practice him, and then have a better chance to save his life." Ye Lanming said.
"Okay, I got it." General Mo agreed directly, thinking in his heart that he would send a few more people to follow.
After Ye Lanming left, General Mo Lao called Zheng Xiaoye to his side again: "Since she has agreed, she will definitely do her best to teach you, you must study hard by her side, don't expect you to learn all her skills, thirty percent is enough." ”
"I'll try." Zheng Xiaoye nodded, his expression was resolute, he wanted to become powerful quickly, and then go and pick up the queen mother and kill all those who bullied him!
Ye Lanming returned to the Ye Mansion and ran directly to the bed, and pounced on the soft bed, her whole body arched inside, and then she pretended to be dead.
Until Jiang Shijun sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her hair: "What's so annoying?" ”
"Took over a hot potato." The sound of urns and the sound of urns came from the quilt.
"Is it Zheng Xiaoye?" Jiang Shijun was not surprised, but directly broke it.
"How did you guess?" Ye Lanming raised his head.
"When the old general took Zheng Xiaoye to the restaurant that day, I had a guess, if it weren't for this thought, the old general wouldn't let you see Zheng Xiaoye at all." He explained.
"You're right, I ignored it." Ye Lanming thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Damn, calculated." She snorted, but there was no sign of anger in her tone.
"If you really don't want to, you can go back, I believe the old general won't embarrass you." Jiang Shijun looked at Ye Lanming's writhing appearance on the bed, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Forget it, since you have accepted it, it will be accepted, and it is not a big deal."
Ye Lanming was silent for a while, and said slowly.
"So, in fact, you want to take this student in your heart." Jiang Shijun listened to her weak voice, the smile in his eyes deepened, and pointed out this sharply.
"There's no way, the benefits of taking him in outweigh the disadvantages." Ye Lanming turned over and sat up and sat down on the bed.
"Then don't worry, it's just a child, what kind of wind and waves can you turn up? What's more, that kid looks pretty well-behaved. Jiang Shijun recalled his look when he got along with Zheng Xiaoye and commented.
"Well-behaved? Not necessarily, he is a little wolf cub, but this little wolf cub is very smart, knows how to hide his claws and teeth, disguise himself as a harmless lamb of human animals, and if he really despises him, he will not know the scum that will be gnawed by him. Ye Lanming snorted.
"Isn't that with me? No matter how difficult it is, how difficult can it be? Jiang Shijun touched her head soothingly.
"No, I'm going to make a study plan for him while I'm still free." Ye Lanming sat up straight, her eyes were bright, she just remembered the hardships she had suffered from studying before.
She endured the hardships she endured when she was studying, and now that she has become a teacher, why can't she let her students endure it again?
Hey, hey, hey!
Thinking of this, Ye Lanming laughed, Jiang Shijun looked at her smile, and was cowardly, according to his understanding of her, generally she showed such a smile, which means that someone is going to be unlucky......
What about the unlucky ones this time......
He quietly mourned for Zheng Xiaoye in his heart.
Zheng Xiaoye, who was reciting the book, sneezed three times in a row, he rubbed his nose, and looked at the tightly closed doors and windows, this is not a cold? Could it be that someone is scolding him? Zheng Xiaoye's big eyes were full of doubt.
