Chapter 237: All Expenses Should Be Reimbursed!
Zhang Jushi didn't know how much his mother had prepared for him at this time, so he continued to light the oil lamp after returning to the school, and he couldn't sleep until late at night!
The next morning, the sky was just bright, and the faint mist outside the window obscured Zhang Jushi's vision, and he got up as usual, washed, packed his things and prepared to go to school!
When he came to the living room, the maid Xia He had already prepared breakfast, two eggs, a bowl of mushroom and lean porridge, and a plate of braised beef!
"Son, Childe is awake!"
"Let's have breakfast first!"
Looking at the familiar breakfast, Zhang Jushi was already familiar with it, and acquiesced to the existence of Xia He!
He sat down on the main seat and pulled a stool for Shaho!
"Sit down and eat together!"
Hearing Zhang Jushi's words, Xia He suddenly looked nervous and cramped!
She came here to serve Zhang Jushi, to put it simply, she is the slave maid prepared by the Zhao family for Zhang Jushi, according to the rules, slaves and maids cannot be served!
Previously, Zhang Jushi had never eaten the breakfast she prepared, until there was a heavy snowfall, Xia He braved the goose-feather snow and sent Zhang Jushi two steamed buns, probably because he was afraid that Zhang Jushi would not eat them!
Xia He also deliberately explained!
"This is some pocket money I earn from weaving, and the steamed buns I bought for my son are not the Zhao family's money!"
"It's cold, and only when you're full can you have the strength to read!"
Maybe Xia He was drenched with snow slag, maybe Xia He put the steamed bun that had just come out of the pot on his chest, and the hot and smooth skin was red and swollen, maybe it was Xia He's careful care day after day, Zhang Jushi accepted Xia He's existence!
Now that the imperial examination is imminent, Zhang Jushi has decided to take Xia He to the capital and give her a name!
"Sit down, don't stand!"
Seeing Zhang Jushi speak again, Xia He carefully pulled over the corner of the stool, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and carefully cushioned it under his buttocks, the whole person was lying on his back, not natural at all!
Zhang Jushi looked at Xia He's nervous expression, and didn't say much, just pushed a bowl of porridge in front of him, picked up a few portions of beef by himself, and put them in the bowl in front of Xia He!
"Taste, your craftsmanship is not bad!"
"Learned from your mother?"
Xia He hurriedly explained when he heard this!
"No, I learned it from the chef in the house!"
"Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, clothing, food, housing and transportation, we all have to learn how to take care of it!"
"Only when the eight arts have been learned, can you be a handmaid for a champion like Gongzi!"
As a servant girl who will serve the court members in the future, she naturally needs to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!
However, they are different from those daughters, others learn these to cultivate their sentiments, and they learn these to simply be a slave!
Just like this breakfast, they have to learn according to the taste of their own masters, and different customs are different for each other!
In other words, these maids are tailor-made for people like Zhang Jushi, and they are all the same!
Looking at Xia He's nervous look, Zhang Jushi didn't persuade much, he also knew that as long as he was there, Xia He would definitely not be able to let go, this was something that couldn't be changed!
After exhausting the breakfast in front of him, Zhang Juzheng immediately picked up his bags and rushed to the school!
Xia He saw Zhang Jushi get up, hurriedly stepped forward and handed the bag to Zhang Jushi, and at the same time helped Zhang Jushi sort out the collar and sleeves, and then hurried to the door and opened the door bolt!
"Childe, slow down!"
Zhang Jushi walked to the door, stopped, as if he remembered something, shook his head helplessly, and then rushed to the school!
When Zhang Jushi left, Xia He hurriedly cleaned up all the meals used in the morning, and then cleaned the house inside and out, until even the table for breakfast was reflective, she wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, squatted on the corridor at the door with a happy face, went to the kitchen to take out the white bun that had been cold, broke off a piece with joy, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully!
I don't know what's wrong, today's white bun is extra sweet, just like putting too much honey, from the throat to the heart!
On the other hand, as Su Mo announced that the imperial examination would be carried out as usual, the people of the world were all rejoicing!
At the border, inside the Yumen Pass, the notice board responsible for posting the emperor's list was crowded with people joining in the excitement at this time!
"What, what!"
"Your Majesty has announced some new rules!"
Everyone squeezed in, wanting to see what law Su Mo had promulgated recently!
Living on the border all year round, the people of Yumen Pass have long been extremely familiar with Su Mo!
They know very well that this general who is responsible for guarding the border is a very good person, countless times better than the generals in the past!
Not only does he not condone his subordinates' misdeeds, but he never takes a stitch from them, the common people's families!
What's more, Su Mo will also ask his soldiers to help the common people reclaim the fields and sow grain!
For those fields that belong to the government, Su Mo also gives them to the people for reclamation free of charge, and only needs to pay one percent of the grain production as a tax every year!
You must know that before Su Mo came, their taxes were three out of ten, which means that the grain collected, thirty percent is taxes, and three of them will be given to the landlord as rent!
After a year of busy work, if you encounter a natural or man-made disaster, not only do you not have to make money, but you have to lose it!
After Su Mo came, he not only reduced their taxes, but also sent professionals to teach them how to farm more appropriately and produce higher grain!
For the common people who rely on farming to eat, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have reborn their parents!
Therefore, everyone is 100% supportive of Su Mo becoming the emperor, and they are even happier than the people in the imperial capital!
They all know what kind of person Su Mo is, and they will definitely not treat them badly!
Now that they learned that Su Mo had opened the emperor list again, everyone rushed to the notice board one after another, wanting to find out!
The soldier in charge of posting the imperial list looked at the crowd that kept rushing in, and shouted helplessly!
"Everyone, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"
"The delay in posting the emperor list is a crime of killing the head, and everyone will not be able to run away at that time!"
As soon as they heard the killing, everyone stopped squeezing in!
Su Mo said killing, that is really killing!
The discipline of the border army is strict, it can be said that it is prestigious, no one disagrees, no one does not obey!
The crowd at the scene stopped the movements in their hands, and the soldier finished posting the emperor list in his hand, straightened out the clothes that were squeezed into a mess by the crowd, and said proudly!
"Listen to it, Your Majesty has a will!"
"Today, it is decided that we should take the restoration of people's livelihood as our own responsibility, and remember the hardships of the war, the county guards in various places are vacant, and it is difficult for the government to maintain!"
"Today's special imperial examination, students from all over the world can enter Beijing to take the exam!"
"Moreover, this time, the imperial examination Teen opened the double list of the north and south, and all expenses should be reimbursed!"
