Chapter Ninety-Eight: Kicking the Nose in the Face... Beaten!
Qian Li was speechless, and the boss was angry in his heart.
Isn't this what you came here in a hurry?
Who invited you?
If you don't like it, don't come!
Those showmen squandered and talked and laughed.
There is a sense of superiority over others.
At this time, he completely ignored the chief and the peasants.
The bards made fun of these people.
Jia Cong was secretly angry, and his cold eyes were fleeting.
In his previous life, he was born in the countryside, and he was not used to seeing such Confucian faces.
But he restrained himself, paced to the edge of the earthen furrow, and arched his hand.
"Qian Lichang, fellow villagers, please rest assured.
We will never disturb the people!
There is also your neighboring Zhou Daxiaozi in this column.
He speaks to you, otherwise how could he be in the country......"
The words made a lot of money, and the people who gathered around him were a lot more relieved.
Jia Cong has done something for Wanping.
Whether it is participating in the governance of the river, or defeating Luo Xiucai, or writing prayers.
It's all good in their eyes.
It also eliminated a lot of estrangement and prejudice between them and the high-ranking Jia Cong.
Jia prodigy is a legendary character and a literary and opera star.
They believed the words of the Jia prodigy.
Qian Lichang observed his words and looked at his expression, and said tentatively: "It's easy to say, Jia Xiaoxianggong has tormented us."
I don't know how many ministers are here, why are they here? ”
Wei Wuzhi saw that Jia Cong treated the villagers very kindly.
He can't do it with such an attitude, and he doesn't want to imitate it.
After all, the concept of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" has been deeply ingrained in his heart.
It's just a bunch of vulgar peasants and peasant women.
Wei Wuzhi pointed out angrily: "Where did you come from so verbose!" We are here to do good for you.
I heard that your cattle are scarce, and you are not slacking off.
Prodigy Jia is hereby asked to think of a way.
He was blessed with spiritual light, and Wenqu Star descended to earth.
Presumably, you can also learn from Zhuge Liang to build wooden oxen and flowing horses.
Let's come here to open our eyes and have a good life.
Are you still listening to the needs of Prodigy Jia?
Waiting for a summons? ”
It is said that it does not disturb the people.
But Wei Wuzhi and the attitude of a cadre.
not only disliked the villagers, but also made Jia Cong secretly angry.
Leave aside their self-righteous superiority.
Take Wei Wuzhi everywhere led by Jia Cong.
Obviously, if something happened, Jia Cong wanted to bear it alone.
This person's despicable heart is clearly revealed.
Although the field is relatively fair, there are people from wealthy families.
But a large part of them were small landowners with well-to-do families.
Poor people can't afford to read at all, so this class of Xiu went out.
Most of them brought their families with them.
Tie Niu, Cao Dahua and a few others waited with them, secretly grinding their fists and palms.
As soon as his grandfather gave an order, he stepped forward and beat him.
Touching the blanket on the back of the iron ox, signaling a little restlessness.
Jia Cong said angrily: "I need a wheel and a wooden frame at the four corners.
Three- to six-inch iron rings, wooden frame iron plows.......
Four copies of these items are available.
The money is long, and the trouble is to ask you to gather a few townships to buy in the villages and towns.
I will pay all the money, and add one penny of silver to each of them as an errand fee. ”
Silver tickets and copper coins are not as reassuring as silver.
Zhili here is a tael of silver.
It can also be exchanged for more than 1,000 copper coins.
The poor people were deducted from paying taxes for a year.
The remaining two or two will be able to blossom.
I heard Jia Cong say this.
Qian Lichang's face looks a lot better.
Several villagers rushed to be the first and shouted that they were willing to go.
Qian Lichang is still not at ease: "At this time, there is no land left, what does the little minister want to do?"
Where do you take it and put it? The little old man also has difficulties......"
"I see that the west is being reclaimed, and my husband can rest assured.
They will not trample on the land seedlings of the villagers. ”
Jia Cong is kind and pleasant.
Qian Lichang hesitated for a moment.
It is good and beneficial to think that it is good to send this group of people first.
I selected a few townships to enter the villages and towns to buy utensils, and they made a quotation.
Jia Cong paid according to the verbal rules.
A cadre listened to what Jia Cong needed.
I don't know what he's selling.
No matter how good the utensils are, can they compare to cows?
These Confucian scholars have long lost the excellent tradition of their ancestors who were able to use martial arts and write a pen.
All of them are not diligent, and the grains are not divided!
However, the simple truth that ox power is better than manpower.
Still know.
They shook their heads, not very optimistic about Jia Cong's method.
Wei Wuzhi was thoughtful, and he couldn't think of any way for Jia Cong.
If Jia Cong is embarrassed by this, he won't be angry.
If only he had a good idea.
I also followed the light, made a steady profit, and made a lot of profits.
At this moment, his attitude and expression are different from those facing the people, and he is very respectful.
"I want to come to Lanling and smile and have a clever plan.
Could it be that Lu Ban's dream failed to pass on his art? ”
Jia Cong glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Buddha said; Unspeakable, unspeakable.
Let's wait and see. ”
Then he should go first to the western wasteland.
Visually measure the slope of the land, use your brain, and have a measure in your heart.
Jia Cong pretended to be modest and said: "Brother Wei, presumably there are tenant farmers and farmers under your family.
Who does Brother Wei rely on for food and clothing? ”
Wei Wuzhi didn't know what Jia Cong wanted to do.
I didn't think much of it, and replied as a matter of course.
"For food and clothing, there are naturally tenant farmers, farmers, and domestic slaves to be busy.
But that land was bought by my ancestors and planted on my family's land.
Naturally, you have to pay rent, which is a matter of course.
This group of people does not know etiquette and righteousness, and does not understand poetry and books.
For the sake of one acre and three points of land, you can fight for the head and blood.
If you are framed, why should you respect them! ”
Jia Cong's eyes rolled, and he changed the topic and said: "Brother Wei said that the people don't know etiquette and righteousness, and they don't understand poetry and books.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of my Pilgrimage Ancestor established the country with cloth clothes.
How do you explain that?
You are also from a poor family, and you also think that your parents are cheap?
The son is not ugly, the dog is not poor, where is filial piety? ”
Wei Wuzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he reacted at this time and was fooled, and he didn't answer.
Zhong Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and there was no rebuttal.
Wang Hao felt ashamed, but he already admired Jia Cong.
Saturday Heren was from a private household, and he nodded: "Jingzhi said it well!" Well said! ”
A few people talked.
A few villagers came back with wheels, wooden frames, plows and other utensils.
Just wait for Jia prodigy to build a "wooden cow flowing horse".
Everyone was curious.
Wasteland with a gentle slope.
Jia Cong stood on the side of the road, and below him was a newly opened land.
The autumn wind blows the smell of earth, grass, and the smell of burning straw.
Entering the jungle and basin, there are no small bridges and flowing water.
The charm of Qinhuai Chu Pavilion and celebrity relics.
Zhong Xiucai shook his head, very tasteless.
It is no wonder that the laborers are lower, the wise are among the laborers, and the laborers are above.
Scholars have always been disliked and not proficient in farming.
On the contrary, a few birdsong and sheep bleating added to the taste.
Seven or eight villagers carried the purchased utensils on their shoulders and put them on the side of the road.
The first villager wore a trouser leg rolled up and a corrugated hat.
Raised the two wheels with big hands: "Jia Xiaoxianggong, the wheels of the workshop are all big."
We looked at the pegwood that we were afraid of not fitting into the herringbone frame.
I changed the right size of the reel, so that it? ”
"Yes, the right size is made."
Jia Cong touched the sleek wheel, and pondered in his heart.
To put it bluntly, it is the principle of pulley, which the ancients did not know.
It's a pity that technology is seen as a trick.
If Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Apocalypse is not the emperor, he is also an excellent craftsman. ”
Wei Wuzhi craned his neck to look, smiling without saying a word.
His mother is Luo Qicai's aunt, and Wanping Luo's family is in-law.
Luo Min became his cousin.
This fall, he is in charge of the evaluation, appointment and dismissal, promotion, and recommendation of officials, and he has great power.
That's what he honored.
It is the Jia clan of the noble family behind Jia Cong.
He was also a little contemptuous.
Saturday He muttered: "Pengju, Jingzhi is really building a 'wooden cow'."
Replace the cattle with utensils, if it is effective.
It doesn't have to be promoted by the county government, and the villagers can also compete to imitate it.
That's a good thing......."
Wang Hao frowned and said, "Although it is necessary for the magistrate to know some civil operations.
Providence is self-will, and heaven listens to self-hearing.
But we must still practice the eight strands hard.
Strange tricks are just fun......."
Zhang Xiancai, who watched the excitement, understood best, and said in his heart: "Saturday is gentle, and Jia Jingzhi is doing good things for his hometown."
He is naturally grateful, and Wang Hao is really utilitarian.
There is nothing but power....... If the Lanling League develops and grows in the future.
Will his sub-alliance cause Jia Cong's displeasure?
I also came in for fun.
Whether this Jia Cong is worth supporting or not, we need to wait and see. ”
Then.
Jia Cong is already instructing Xiang Yong.
Place herringbone racks on both sides of a piece of land of several feet.
The ends of the herringbone frame are triangular in shape, which is conducive to stability.
Jia Cong instructed: "This kind of 'wooden cow' only needs three people.
You hold on to the left, you hold on to the right.
Put the roller into the peg on the top of the herringbone frame, right......
The one in the middle put the long log on two herringbone shelves. ”
Wait until the long wood is bound by ropes.
Jia Congxi said: "The iron ring in the middle of the long wood holds the wooden frame of the iron plow.
Yes, that's it.......
The left and right sides of the herringbone frame are firmly stabilized and the pegs are shaken.
The plough in the middle, and the other utensils can be concocted in the same way. ”
or curious, or disdainful, or disdainful of Wei Wuzhi and other talents.
With the middle of the village Yong pushed the iron plough handrail.
The two people on the left and right shook the pegwood that was wrapped in the roller.
Their eyes suddenly widened.
The villager who pushed the plough was not necessarily so laborious.
The land was turned out by seven or eight inches.
Qian Lichang opened his mouth, stunned, and then said excitedly: "It's really a wooden cow!" What a wooden cow!
Get rid of Zhuge Wuhou alive!
According to Xiao Lao'er, according to Jia Xiaoxiang's law.
The power of three people can be worth two bulls! ”
You don't have to think much about the power of the two bulls.
It's definitely much bigger than three ordinary people.
And now.
Something Jia Cong came up with.
It seems that women can push it, which is labor-saving and cheap.
Many of them were surprised.
The gaze that looked at Jia Cong was different.
Wei Wuzhi's gloom flickered away.
He was still incredulous, how could Jia Cong do anything?
Is the legend of the blessing of the aura and the descent of Wenqu Star to earth true?
Will this kind of divine help overcome oneself?
Wei Wuzhi was a little jealous, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
He doesn't give up.
Looking at the other three pairs of wooden oxen concocted in the same way, the situation is no exception.
Zhang Xiancai scratched his ears and cheeks: "This, this...... I think I've seen it in a book.
Jingzhi, is this called 'substitute farming'? ”
"Yes, Brother Qingsong is really knowledgeable.
This kind of wooden cattle is known as 'substitute farming' in history, and wood is used instead of cattle.
It is not an exaggeration to call it a wooden cow, except for Zhuge Kongming.
There are also wooden ox relics in the Tang Dynasty......"
Jia Cong didn't seem satisfied: "But it is not all the land in more than a dozen provinces in the country.
The slope is steep and too sloping, and the wooden frame cannot be stabilized.
Plains, basins, both men and women......"
Looking at Jia Cong's still dissatisfied look, he was too modest.
Wei Wuzhi doesn't know how to look at it and how it is not pleasing to the eye, like a fish in the throat and a mang in the back.
Resisted the urge to punch Jia Cong's immature face.
Gritted his teeth and said secretly: "What kind of strength are you proud of, it's just a strange trick." ”
The show praised it once.
Someone asked: "Prodigy Jia is more knowledgeable than Zhang Qingsong."
Since there are already relics of wooden cows, could it be that the ancestors have already used them? ”
It was not Jia Cong's first creation.
It can reduce people's praise and excessive decoration of Jia Cong.
Wei Wuzhi also spared no effort to pick thorns: "That's right, Jingzhibo is ancient and modern."
The senior brother also wants to ask for advice, and there is a source for the cultivation on behalf of the frame. ”
"Traces can be seen in the History of the Ming Dynasty." Jia Cong did not mince words.
The history books of the previous dynasty are generally repaired by the next dynasty.
In Jia Cong's "History of the Ming Dynasty" in that time and space.
It was revised by Zhang Tingyu and others in the Qing Dynasty, and the text was decorated.
The rulers of the "Great Qing Empire" had many political aims.
For example, it involves the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of it is not true.
Great Chu's History of the Northern Ming Dynasty was revised by order of Emperor Shengzu Gao.
Of course, there are also many untrue slanders against Daming.
And Xiucai is only a must-read for the first three histories.
A lifetime of effort was spent on the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight Strands.
Many people don't know Tang Zong and Song Zu, and it is not surprising that they only know the high-headed sermons.
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "The History of the Northern Ming Dynasty is contained, during the Chenghua period.
Li Yan, the governor of Shaanxi, made five kinds of wooden cattle.
During the Jiajing period, Ouyang Bijin of Yunyang Mansion also used substitute farming.
These two places have been vigorously promoted.
The people rely on it, and it can be said that it will benefit the people......
When I arrived in my dynasty, I experienced war.
Many of the classics were burned, and they were regarded as obscene techniques.
On the contrary, I don't know how to use it. ”
Speaking of which.
Jia Cong suddenly remembered again.
Xu Zhenming during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was very interested in benefiting Zhili Province in terms of paddy fields.
Originally, they did not rely on the southern transport, and the northerners could grow rice and be self-sufficient.
It is a pity that once the measures are involved in politics, they are very complicated and cannot be achieved in the end.
As a modern person, industrialization and modernization naturally make Jia Cong proud.
But some of the wisdom of the ancients cannot be completely erased and deprecated.
Modern people still use a lot of it.
For example, the "height training platform technology" in the Andes Mountains of South America is very old.
However, in the twenty-first century.
Many places around the world are still learning from and promoting.
"I see, Jia Jingzhi is worthy of being a prodigy.
Friendship, friendship, friendship, and good news.
After we go back, let's discuss it well, and I want to join the Lanling League in the future. ”
"Count me in!"
In the crowd, Wei Wuzhi's face turned red, and he held his forehead with his hand.
Wang Hao, Liuliuhe, Zhang Xiancai and Yourongyan.
Jia Cong is coping with it, and the Lanling League can't come and ask for one.
There are regulations for joining the alliance, and he squeezed out a smile: "Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?" But uncomfortable? ”
"No, no, the sun is too poisonous...... I'm afraid I'm suffering from heat stroke, so I'll go first. ”
Wei Wuzhi couldn't hold it on his face, Jia Cong was too hard to stick to his face!
Obviously the situation is in his favor.
But now the situation is completely in favor of Jia Cong.
Jia Cong not only cemented his good name, but also added a group of allies.
For himself, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his soldiers?
Two family members held him up.
Wei Wuzhi fled with black lines on his face.
He heard the snickering of Zhang Xiancai and others behind him, and the cheers of the people for Jia Cong.
His face was getting hotter.
"Jia Jingzhi, you wait! Let's try to see the best! ”
Wei Wuzhi thought darkly.
.......
I have been busy for a long time in the year examination, scientific examination, recording of subjects, and recording of relics.
Busy with official business, Chen Dongsheng seems to not know what time it is.
Even with the help of the scribes, he was the one who made the decisions.
It's like there is no time in the mountains; "I don't know if there is a Han, no matter Wei and Jin".
Jia Cong was rumored to be seen in the backyard pavilion of the Tongzhi Hall this time, and he was also a scholar and politician.
He sat upright, neatly dressed, but leaned diagonally.
When listening to Chen Dongsheng's words, his small black and white eyes were level.
Jia Cong saw that this young inspector of the imperial history and Zhili Xuezheng changed into a tuxedo.
The diet also pays attention to health, fine noodles, fine mustard, and glutinous millet only.
Chen Dongsheng chewed: "Did Qin Langzhong teach you the Five Classics?"
Your book is a Book of Poetry, right? How can I not see you writing scriptures? ”
"I've practiced dozens of scriptures." Jia Cong replied.
"How can dozens of articles be enough, no matter what, you are still young.
The township test Xie Yuan and the Five Classics will be early in the coming year, so they will take training as the key.
The township test site is extraordinary.
The mistake of uncleanness in this paper cannot be made again. ”
Chen Dongsheng's cheeks twisted as he chewed.
"The provincial and township examinations are the main examination propositions, and the supervision and supervision are pro.
Most of the examiners were sent by the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Shifu, and the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.
Only Shuntianfu is different. ”
"The Shuntianfu Township Test is the emperor's proposition, and the government Yin is in prison.
The first and second grade members are the main examiners and deputy examiners.
More than a dozen house officials must also be elected by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites. ”
Chen Dongsheng rubbed his temples and said tiredly: "Shuntian Mansion, Tianjin Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Zhengding Mansion......
There are tens of thousands of talents in the entire provincial government and county, and there are still those waiting for me to investigate.
In many prefectures and counties, I only held scientific examinations, recorded subjects, and recorded relics, and sent them to the township examinations.
In many places, the annual examination has not been held.
The three-year term expires before making a plan.
Di Bao sent.
The chief examiner of the Shuntian Mansion Guiyouke Township Examination is the governor of Zhili and the servant of the Ministry of Officials Yu Hazy. ”
There are more than eight to ten housing officials in each province.
The imperial court selects the house official to assist in the main examination and the deputy chief examiner.
Housing officials never choose officials registered in their own provinces.
Strictly prevent hometown relations and bribery, and try in the province.
Housing officials are all selected in places where their household registration is located 300 miles outside the border of the province.
The township test is a provincial examination.
Students, supervisors, and tribute students from all prefectures and counties in the entire Zhili participated in the event.
The examination is a national examination, and people from more than 10 provinces across the country participate.
Chongwenmen Gongyuan in the capital.
It is not only a test site in Shuntianfu Township, but also a national test site.
"The students got it."
Jia Cong asked, "Why don't you see Teacher Shen?" ”
"The official examination was held for many days, and Shen Gao and Liu Hua recommended it due to vagueness.
Liu Hua was promoted to Tongzhi, and Shen Gao was promoted to Futai.
Shen Gao has been transferred to Suzhou, Jiangsu, and he should send you a letter every few days. ”
After Chen Dongsheng finished eating, he didn't want to talk about officialdom entanglements, so he smiled.
"Shen Gao is blessed, he would rather be a Suzhou and Hangzhou dog than an outsider......
I haven't been back to my hometown of Puzhou for many years, but he is from Songjiang.
In the future, you will give me a copy of the Four Books and the Five Scriptures that you have done. ”
The two chatted like this for a while, and Jia Cong got up and prepared to leave.
Chen Dongsheng thought for a while and stopped: "I heard that you have made another kind of wooden cow."
Brother Cong, don't forget what I said to you at the beginning.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and it is too much.
When you enter my door, you will be a clear stream, and you will take your family and country and the people as your business.
Fortunately, what you have done is also gratifying for the teacher.
Kyori Luo Langzhong is afraid that he will not give up.
Fraud and framing in township trials are not uncommon.
Beware and be prepared. ”
The slightly frowning brow was relieved, and there seemed to be a heat flow all over his body.
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Yes." ”
~~~~~
Three township examinations lasted for nine days.
On the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of August.
Each session is entered one day earlier and the next day is played.
On the eighth day of August in the tenth year of Qiande, the sky was not yet dawn.
Jia Cong carried a lantern and got out of the car and entered Chongwen Gate.
Outside the gate of the Gongyuan, but see the three gates of the Jingshi Gongyuan.
It is so high that it is admirable, and the plaque at the main entrance; "Open the Astronomical Movement".
The west side is; "Wise Classics".
To the east is; "Seek talents for the country".
The Gongyuan is located in the southeast corner of the Jingshi Chongwen Gate.
About the location.
All the provinces in the world are the same.
The Tribute Courtyard was built in the southeast of the provincial capital.
The Gongyuan of the Jingshi is five and three entrances.
