Chapter Seventy-Four: Wang Yang's Thoughts

Zhao Yu shook his head:

"Hui Xia teaching, the student has not done this question before, but he has seen a similar question in "Enlightenment of Arithmetic"!"

"I've also read the question in "Enlightenment of Arithmetic", why did you figure it out so quickly?"

At this time, Yin Changyu suddenly spoke up, glaring at Zhao Yu angrily unconvinced.

Yin Changyu looked a little angry, but his question was exactly what everyone was curious about, so everyone still looked at Zhao Yu hesitantly.

The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth turned up:

"Arithmetic, method is important!"

Speaking mysteriously, Zhao Yu just glanced at Yin Changyu, and then ignored it, of course he couldn't say that the primary school topic was nothing to him.

But Zhao Yu said ambiguously, but others were itching, and some old guys wanted to get to the bottom of it.

But at this time, Han Liru suddenly stood up and smiled at Lu Yan to play with taste:

"Chief Lu Yanshan, what do you think of the end of the three competitions?"

Hearing this, the old guys who were ready to get to the bottom of it were suddenly silenced, and they all looked at Lu Yan gloatingly.

Lu Yan wanted to suppress Han Liru, and even wanted to win Han Liru's treasured calligraphy, but now he stole chickens and rice, and these people really wanted to see Lu Yan's embarrassment.

Lu Yan was indeed annoyed that Yin Changyu had lost the competition, and even his hands in his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

But as soon as everyone looked at him, Lu Yan's gloomy face immediately changed to a smile, and he arched his hand towards Han Liru:

"Hehe, Master Han is worthy of being a famous private school teacher in Changning County, the disciples taught here are really good, and the old man admires them!"

After that, Lu Yan thanked Xia Hongzhao and Wang Yang as referees, and finally shook his hand, and the previous mutton fat jade pendant fell from his sleeve to his right hand, and handed it to Zhao Yu with a smile:

"Primary school children have done well in their studies, this is the reward promised by the old man, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future!"

Lu Yan behaved like a spring breeze, looking like he was ardent in hope for his juniors.

Seeing this, looking at the jade pendant in front of him, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Han Liru.

Seeing Han Liru nodding slightly, Zhao Yu took the jade pendant and bowed his hand to Lu Yan:

"Student Zhao Yu, thank you Mr. Lu!"

Everything is behaved respectfully, although Zhao Yu knows that Lu Yan hates him so much that he gritted his teeth now, but everyone behaves like a spring breeze, then he can't be disrespectful.

What's more, there are so many Confucian students here, as well as the county's master book and teachings, Zhao Yu can't be rude.

Everything is harmonious.

Those who win are humble, and those who lose are generous, with Confucian humility and love.

This is the end of a competition.

Zhao Yu's competition left a deep impression in everyone's hearts.

Sect Xia encouraged Zhao Yu, and then sat back in his chair.

Wang Yang looked at Han Liru and Zhao Yu, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The other old guys looked at Zhao Yu in amazement:

"Tut, I really didn't expect that even the disciple of Lu Shi would win, it seems that he is a little prodigy again!"

"Yes, you are so good at a young age, and you will have a lot to do in the future, the old man remembers you!"

"Hmm...... Master Han, tell me how you taught this disciple of yours! ”

"Yes, yes, say it, say it quickly!"

After a group of old guys praised Zhao Yu, they secretly wrote down Zhao Yu, and then they all set their eyes on Han Liru and surrounded him in the middle.

Han Liru smiled bitterly, and then chatted with everyone.

Zhao Yu was left aside, but he was happy and clean, and his right hand, which was hiding in the wide sleeves, played with the mutton fat jade pendant that had just arrived.

Mutton fat and white jade, this is a good thing, it is worth a lot of money, a symbol of a gentleman, Zhao Yu didn't expect to get such a good thing when he came to the autumn party.

However, just when Zhao Yu was happy in his heart, he suddenly felt something, and looked up at a window diagonally opposite.

I saw that on the table on the other side of the window, Lu Yan's chest was rapidly rising and falling drinking stuffy tea, while Yin Changyu beside him was glaring at Zhao Yu angrily.

When Zhao Yu raised his head, he happened to meet Yin Changyu's gaze.

But before the two could make eye contact, Zhao Yu's gaze was blocked by a tall body.

However, a handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old suddenly came to Zhao Yu.

"Tut, congratulations to Zhao Xuexue for winning the competition, Zhao Xuexue has become famous today!"

Standing in front of Zhao Yu, the handsome young man smiled and congratulated.

Zhao Yu leaned over slightly:

"Chu Xuexue has a reputation!"

Smiling humbly, Zhao Yu was neither humble nor arrogant.

This person is Qiu Xueyan's disciple, Chu Wangqiu!

When Han Liru and Qiu Xueyan were chatting hotly before, Zhao Yu also met him.

And because Han Liru and Qiu Xueyan are friends, the two juniors are also closer.

Chu Wangqiu saw that Zhao Yu was so humble at a young age, his eyes flashed, and then he spoke:

"Zhao Xuexue, I still know a few students over there, why don't I take you to get to know them?"

"Then it's troublesome for Chu students!"

Zhao Yu nodded, he did not reject this kind of communication with students of the same generation.

Since you want to go through the imperial examination, you must integrate.

Zhao Yu finally glanced at Yin Changyu, who was still glaring at him, and then followed Chu Wangqiu into a pile.

A group of old guys were communicating here, and many students were talking to each other in groups of two or three.

After a while, the atmosphere changed again.

In order to see their teaching methods more intuitively, a group of old guys started a competition again.

After calling their respective disciples to their side, a group of old fellows raised their ears to their ears, and then began to catch and compare with the others.

Suddenly, the autumn meeting became lively again.

After Zhao Yubi tried it once, no one found him anymore, and he was happy to watch with interest from the sidelines.

And the excitement lasted until noon.

It wasn't until lunchtime that it gradually subsided.

After lunch, a group of Confucian scholars sat around drinking tea and chatting.

At this time, Wang Yang, who was on the side of the main seat, suddenly put down the teacup and said with a smile to the old guys:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official came here today, in fact, with a business matter, since you have already communicated, then this official wants to ask you for advice!"

"Oh? I don't know what is the official business of the king's book? ”

A group of old guys looked at Wang Yang one after another, and many of them suddenly sat up straight and spoke with a smile on their faces.

Most of the old guys here have made a name for themselves and are able to participate in local affairs.

Now Wang Yang brings official affairs to negotiate with them, which is also a symbol of their status, and many people here are willing to do it.

"It's a matter of water conservancy!"

Wang Yang met the many eyes, smiled, and continued:

"You should know that this official is in charge of the county's water conservancy, and now there has been a drought for many years, and many places in the county have been hungry, in order to cope with the drought in the future, the county plans to build a dam at the mouth of the Wangjiang River suitable for water storage and flood control! Now that this matter has been agreed by the imperial court, the county is ready to start construction on the same day while the autumn harvest has passed! However, this project costs a lot, and the county still has a lot of use, and you are all well-educated people in the county, and the official wants to consult here! ”

"Wangjiangkou, that's a big project......"

As soon as they heard Wang Yang's words, a group of old guys immediately retracted their heads and closed their mouths one after another.

These old guys are all human spirits, and they can naturally understand Wang Yang's words, which is nothing more than asking them how to make money!

How can the county do big things without enough money? There are often two ways.

The first is to set up a clever name to increase taxes for the common people, and the second is to raise money from the gentry.

No matter which of these two methods is, they will offend people, and these old guys will naturally not open their mouths easily, so as not to be poked in the backbone by others.

And some of the old guys who are lively think more.

For example, Han Liru, he glanced at Wang Yang and squinted.

Han Liru didn't believe that Wang Yang didn't know these two ways to make money, but Wang Yang even brought this matter to discuss with them, obviously wanting the old guy here to bring it up, so that they could take the blame.

Do your own performance, let others take the blame, their hearts are not good!

Zhao Yu was mentally mature, and he more or less felt Wang Yang's thoughts, but it was not his turn to speak here, and it was none of his business, he just watched quietly and watched the development of things.
