Chapter 36: The yearning of Ye He and the others

You don't need to ask, you know that it is Chen Ping's letter.

The two of them were in good spirits, jumped up almost at the same time, took the envelope and couldn't wait to open it.

Under the verdant and tall old pine tree, the two teenagers chose a side, leaned on either side of the trunk, and perused the letters that had been swaying for dozens of miles.

A colored feather was embedded in the envelope, revealing half of it, which was called "One Feather Order", to show that the government issued it without delay.

It seems that Chen Ping also borrowed the brand of Wang County's order in order for these two letters to be delivered earlier.

Ye Chongwen held the letter paper, and the closer he looked, the more his eyes were pasted, and his eyes rippled with longing.

According to Chen Ping's letter, repairing the road seems to be hard work, but in fact, it is full of beautiful scenery.

Especially on the starry night, when the moon falls and the sky is frosty, when everything is silent, you can look at the endless galaxy in the wilderness.

Such a magnificent scenery can make every sincere student think well, eager to make thousands of masterpieces on the spot.

When the sun was rising, thousands of people went out together.

Like a boundless crowd of people, neatly walking on the winding old official road, carrying the future and hope on their shoulders, to devote themselves to the cause of benefiting the people, it is another shocking scene.

In a word, you Ye Chongwen didn't see this kind of scene, it's really a big loss!

After reading the entire letter, Ye Chongwen couldn't help but pat his head fiercely, full of chagrin.

Why, why did I show my timidity at that time? If you had persevered at that time, would you have been able to see these beautiful scenery yourself?

Will it already be a spring of thought, and a few strokes will be brilliant.

Ye Chongwen was patting his thighs with remorse, and not far behind him, He Qingxuan was also biting his lips.

According to Chen Ping's letter, he helps the teacher and the county magistrate with the crucial account books every day. And his main task is to perform complex calculations.

The assessment in the academy is, at most, based on the arithmetic books written by the predecessors, and slightly modifies the topics in them, after all, the old routine of changing the soup and not the medicine.

And what Chen Ping has to calculate every day are all the various difficult problems actually encountered in the process of road construction.

For example, how to approximate the weight of large mounds of earth and rocks with irregular shapes.

Another example is a huge puddle with a twisted waterfront filled with muddy sewage. Due to the limited conditions, only a small drainage channel could be dug.

And how to calculate, it will take a few hours to drain it out.

Things like this happen every day.

If there is no relatively accurate estimate, rashly mobilizing a large amount of manpower will inevitably cause a waste of manpower or time; The uneven distribution of manpower and material resources will delay the construction period, and the mistakes of any link will affect the whole body at this time.

Accurate and reasonable scheduling everywhere can ensure the highest efficiency.

Only numbers can give people the most reliable protection.

All of the above must rely on the strategy in the study to give full play to the role of every manpower and every rest time, so as to complete the road repair plan quickly and efficiently.

He Qingxuan's lips are about to bite and bleed!

Chen Ping, this guy is so hateful, he is simply stabbing my lungs!

At the same time, I am extremely remorseful, why didn't I grasp such a good opportunity.

The best place to practice knowledge in arithmetic is not in the classroom or in the imperial examination.

Rather, it is in civil engineering and water conservancy matters such as building roads, building river embankments, and building cities!

Looking at the letter sent by Chen Ping, He Qingxuan only felt that he had missed the most precious thing in his life.

The arithmetic scholar missed the project budget, and his regret was no less than that he did not catch up with the autumn boudoir when he entered Beijing.

I want to cry!

After a while, Ye Chongwen first slammed the trunk of the tree and shouted loudly: "I really want to go and see all these scenes with my own eyes, I really want to go to Chen Ping!" ”

Hearing this, He Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Ye Chongwen quite strangely.

What's crazy about this guy?

Why did you suddenly change your character?

Could it be that Ye Chongwen, under the influence of himself and Chen Ping, has unconsciously become interested in arithmetic?

If that's the case, it's good news.

He Qingxuan, who was full of relief, reached out and patted Ye Chongwen's shoulder.

In a more sad and regretful tone, he said, "Yes, I want to go to him too." ”

"I didn't expect that in just over ten days, we missed so much!"

"If it weren't for Ye Lao and Chen Ping doing business, most of them wouldn't have time to pick us up, so I really wanted to ride our horses immediately."

After all, this is just a temporary complaint, and it is a problem for these two young children to even turn over and get on the horse.

Ye Chongwen complained, "You are an arithmetic nerd, and the articles and poems you make are all flesh and bones, why do you feel the same emotion as me?" ”

……

Yongshun County Ya.

Wang Xianling, Zhao Jin and Ye Lao are discussing the matter of donating to build roads.

Chen Ping was in a daze on the side, staring at the board in front of him with lost eyes, but what he was thinking about was his two friends who were far away in Huating Academy.

I don't know if He Qingxuan and Ye Chongwen received their letters, and whether they were as complaining as he guessed.

It's no wonder that Chen Ping wrote two letters mischievously, it's really because the past two days have been too boring.

As a county parent official, Wang County's order will definitely not be implemented immediately after hearing a suggestion that is only theoretically promising.

Discussing with one's own staff, discussing with his cronies and subordinates, letting out a little rumor, and testing the reaction of the outside world are all essential processes.

Now, the plausible rumors have been out for two days.

Two days is enough time for people with hearts in the county town to cause many incidents.

or spread demons and frame the county government; or seek wealth and danger and make profits from it: or mix it up slightly, work hard, and seize the credit; Or material vendors find excuses to sit on the ground and raise prices, making it difficult to make money.

Unintentional and competitive, the falcon does not guess.

Wang County's order was waiting, and Ye Lao and Zhao Dutou could only wait.

Chen Ping, who has the most sense of existence, can naturally only find some fun in the small garden of the county government's back house.

Oh, and it's not always boring either.

Sometimes, Wang Xianling will suddenly become a good teacher in his spare time. grabbed the only child around him, and couldn't wait to stuff his years of reading experience and scientific research experience into Chen Ping's mind.

Every time such a moment, Chen Ping will become more and more missful of his two little friends.

Why haven't you come yet?

Hurry up!

Come and take the pressure off your shoulders!

In this way, Chen Ping became a nameless student of Wang County in the extremely painful cramming education.

Although Ye Lao kept his neck and didn't dare to attack, he never wanted his closed disciple to be snatched away, but Wang Xianling was as happy as a fox who stole a chicken.

Regardless of whether you Ye Wenchang admit it or not, anyway, this little guy has already learned so many things from me, whether there is any red tape in the name or not, he can be regarded as my student.

Just when Chen Ping was in a daze, a government official stumbled from the back door of the county office, neither making a fuss nor making a report, and ran to Zhao Dutou regardless of his recklessness.

Seeing this person, Zhao Du's eyes lit up.

This person was the spy he sent out to investigate the major merchants in the county, as well as the reactions of many gentry families.

Without waiting for Zhao Dutou to ask, the official said in an anxious voice: "Things are a little wrong, the major merchants in the county seem to be colluding in private. ”

"Especially Huang Liuye of the Huang family, this person reacted the most violently, and ran to several places in one day."

"I heard...... I heard that they are going to join forces to make trouble! ”

The relationship between Huang Liuye and Huang Xiancheng is well known in the county, but there is no evidence of their formation of a party for personal gain, so it cannot be cleared.

After all, Huang Liuye is not an unknown person, and his Fuding Building is definitely a well-known industry in Yongshun County.

Since this person dares to stir up the wind and rain like this, who would believe that there is no instigation of Huang Xiancheng behind him?

"Bang!".

Wang Xian Ling slapped the stone table, and his fingers were numb from the shock.

He felt that in the last time he was greedy for ink, he was accommodating to Huang County, and he was already benevolent and righteous.

But his own initiative to retreat did not seem to be exchanged for the other party's gratitude, but began to intensify the provocation, making people feel weak and bullied!
