Chapter 241, Raisins and Snowball Fights

"Lord Wang."

"General!" Wang Ping took two steps forward.

Ying Lili said: "The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the imperial examination will be gradually improved from then on." And talent is also the assessment direction of a parent official. ”

"Lieshan City is located on the border of Jokhang, and I know that this place is not as prosperous as other state capitals."

"However, we must also pay attention to the selection of talents."

"If there is still money in the state, we can build a school, and in the future, when I return to Kyoto, I will discuss this matter with His Majesty and see if I can allocate funds."

Wang Ping also thought about it.

I've been thinking about it for many years.

It's a pity that it didn't work to think about it before.

No matter how good the knowledge of a poor family is, it is useless without a backer.

As the parent official of Lieshan City, he is already a marginal figure among the officials.

Even if he is a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, when he goes to Kyoto, the prime minister's porter dares to show him a face.

It's not a backer at all.

"The subordinate will definitely take care of it, please rest assured general."

Ying Lili thought for a while and said, "Women should also read some books, even if they get married and have children in the future, in terms of teaching children, it is better to read books than not to read books." ”

She wouldn't say anything like letting a woman become an official.

The power of one person cannot compete with the entire era.

Ying Lili is not so selfless, nor is it so great.

She thought she couldn't do it.

However, it is still possible to use the reason of teaching children.

Wang Ping thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it.

In this way, it should be easier for a learned woman to teach her children.

"The general is thoughtful, and the subordinate will handle it properly."

Ying Lili nodded, "Thank you Lord Wang." ”

"After all, the women in Kyoto, who have a little family background, all hire female masters to teach them to read and learn characters."

"Since the people's families don't have such conditions, it is also appropriate for the officials to help."

"The male dominates the outside, the female protagonist is inside, and the inner house is the jurisdiction of the woman, and the same is true for the children."

Wang Ping said: "The general is reasonable. ”

The group ate at the nearest farmhouse at noon, and continued to observe the people's situation in the afternoon.

It was not until dusk approached that he rode back to the state capital.

I have to say that Lord Wang can be regarded as a rare good official.

A month later, two schools were built in Lieshan City, located at the north and south ends of the state capital, with a men's school in the north and a women's school in the south.

Mr. is also looking for a local area in Lieshan City, and he can still find a lot of readers.

It's just that there is no way out of the imperial examination.

It's not easy to find a female master, but it's not like there is no one.

Ying Lili and the two senior brothers went to the two schools to have a look.

The building is a temporary alteration, more than spacious, and the view is insufficient.

There's no way around that.

The men's school is the Aoyama School, which is very lively.

The women's school is the Cuiyuan School, and there are very few people who sign up.

But that's also good.

Some things need to be done gradually.

Only when they have tasted the benefits will the people act.

It's not just a matter of three or two sentences that can make them change their minds.

Even though he was forced by the "official authority" of Ying Lili and others at that time, he would still regret it afterwards.

Autumn.

At the beginning, those old men found the state capital.

I am glad to say that the plants brought from the Western Regions have been planted alive.

Although more than a third of them were ruined in the early stage by understanding its characteristics, most of them survived.

Ying Lili and the others followed, and they were very satisfied when they saw the lush fruits and vegetables that grew very well.

The agricultural official of the state capital next to him followed and recorded some of the old man's cultivation experience, which will be popularized when the time comes.

The old men were excited, and they couldn't care about hiding it, and they talked about the problems and experiences of cultivation.

Ying Lili said: "After the fruit is born, you can build a drying room and dry these grapes into raisins."

The old man didn't understand much.

Why do you want to dry it?

Ying explained that this is for less transportation, and sun-dried raisins can be stored for a long time, at least a year to a year and a half.

And sun-dried raisins are sweeter and will be more expensive.

In this way, it can be transported to the major state capitals of Jokhang, allowing the local people to increase their income.

Ying Lili said: "I only know a rough idea of what the drying room looks like, and it depends on you experienced fathers-in-law to think about it." ”

When the old man heard it, it was a burst of responsibility.

patted his chest and promised that he would not disappoint the general.

And said that when the raisins are really successful, they will definitely give her the first to taste them.

Ying Lili smiled and responded.

At the same time, there are also crops such as honeydew melons.

As a city girl, Ying Lili has little understanding of when these things are planted and when they are harvested.

However, experienced old farmers can understand their characteristics by observing them.

I have to say that this is the real champion.

With the new crops, in addition to the local people, the happiest is the prefect.

Soon I talked to the old men about the land lease.

Rent is free for the first three years of the lease and is collected from the fourth year, and the rent is not expensive.

The fathers-in-law were very interested.

But they were also cautious, and did not respond immediately.

Everything will have to wait until the first grapes have been tasted before making a decision.

**

In autumn, the side of Lieshan City began to gradually get colder.

The Western Regions never took the initiative to invade Jokhang again.

On Ying Lili's side, he still takes the officers and soldiers of the whole army to practice and holds events in the army from time to time.

The rest of the time is to run at both ends of the army and Lieshan City.

Until the first blizzard hits.

She ran happily in the snow, and Zhao Ying, who was watching, was also itchy, rushed over with a whin, and threw herself into the thick snow with her.

Seeing this, Ying Lili greeted the soldiers in the distance.

"Come on, have a snowball fight to warm up." ”

With that, he quickly smashed the snowball in his hand towards Zhao Ying.

"Hey!" Zhao Ying dodged sensitively and bent over to gather snowballs.

Instead of hitting the chestnut, she threw it at the others.

"General, why don't you distinguish between friend and foe, we are now in a group."

Ying Lili laughed and said: "No, we can't do so many people, the big brawl will start." ”

Pei Ji heard the movement and walked out.

As soon as he appeared, a snowball "banged" and exploded in his face.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

However, Ying Lili laughed unscrupulously.

"General Pei, together." She beckoned to each other.

Pei Ji wiped the snowball off his face, shook off the big one with a bucket of his shoulders, and was caught by the deputy general next to him.

He strode forward and said, "You little cubs, you dare to fight with Lao Tzu......"

Ying Lili dodged with a grin, and said to the group of soldiers: "What are you doing stupidly, let's take General Pei down first." ”

"Okay!"

The tense atmosphere was swept away in an instant, and everyone aimed the snowball at Pei Ji.

He is alone, no matter how high his martial arts are, it is difficult to defeat so many people.

With everyone slightly restrained, Pei Ji was quickly buried by the snow, leaving only a kowtow head outside.

Everyone surrounded Pei Ji, smiling back and forth.

"Okay, the snowman in the appearance of General Pei is enough to deter 108,000 soldiers."

Ying Lili gave a thumbs up.
