Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t come here specifically to talk about tea, but since they saw it, they just mentioned that after the old man pushed down, there was really nothing to do except to teach others, fishing, and listen to Zhang Xiaobao saying so much tea. , And some still have impressions, and agreed one by one.
"Xiaobao, it's easy to talk about tea. Tell me what happened to your house?" The old man took the tea down and asked Zhang Xiaobao about Huayuan County. After all, his nephew made money there.
"It's okay. There is money in the yamen's account there, and it will not be used up for a while. Build mountains and roads. After the autumn harvest this year, the people's life will be much better. Grandpa Bi, in a few days, this Some students can come to the side, and some even have official positions."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't conceal the affairs of the county from the old man. He probably mentioned some things and talked about the details.
The old man really listened to this and asked about the people’s food and drink situation when they were working. After understanding, he said happily: “From this perspective, Huayuan County may become Shangxian next year. It’s good for Shangxian. , Not only is the position raised, but there are other benefits, you guys have also listened to it, tell me, what are the benefits?"
The words in front of the old man were addressed to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the latter asked the young people who were still standing there respectfully.
I just talked about Zhang Xiaobao’s person. I was said by the old man. Now I heard what was said between people. I finally knew I couldn’t provoke the two little boys. I was asked about it. I decided to show myself, so I responded first. Writing: "Master Shangshu."
"The old man is no longer a book." The old man didn't want to hear such a call now.
"Master Bi, when he is promoted to the county, not only his position will be promoted, but the rank of the original county magistrate will also be promoted. In this way, when he is promoted in the future, he can only be higher. This is a benefit." This person changed his words quickly, emphasizing the rank of officials.
The old man nodded and shook his head, "Is there any more? Even if the county magistrate Zhang is not promoted in the county, he will definitely have a good official position in the future. This is not important."
"Also? There is Shangxian. The yamen in the yamen can be equipped with knives, and the people don't dare to cause trouble." This person said one more.
"Anything else?" The old man was a little disappointed. This person always promotes officials and keeps the people afraid to cause trouble. It's not what he wants to hear.
The man moved his mouth in a little panic, and finally didn't say anything. The person next to him also only thought of these two points. The old man sighed. These people didn't put their minds on the people at all. Such a person really mentioned Click it. If you become an official in the future, it will be like the Jia county magistrate from Sanshui County or the Wen county magistrate from Huayuan County.
The old man glanced at Wang Juan and said, "Cuan Juan, tell them what will be the benefit of being promoted to Shangxian?"
Wang Juan nodded: "Grandpa Bi, we have to start with why we can rise to Shangxian County. Shangxian County needs to give more money to the court, it needs a large population, and there are places where people can be enlightened, such as academies. Yes, the school is out and so on.
In other words, to become Shangxian, you must have money. Not only do you send a lot of money to the court, you also have to have money for the people, so that you can buy more and sell more and pay more taxes. If the people have money, life will be easier. You can also send your children to school to study.
This is the most important point. Whether a foreign official is good or not depends not on his own knowledge, but on what he can bring to the local people. Grandpa Bi, am I right? "
Wang Juan could have said it more thoroughly, but after all, she was a child and had to pretend to be tender. Fortunately, the old man was not young, and there was no psychological burden to pretend.
"Yes, the cuckoo knows a lot. The benefits of Shangxian County are actually the benefits of the people. You all listen carefully. You will study carefully in the academy in the future. Don't just learn how to take the imperial examination, but also learn how to do it for the people. Some facts."
The old man likes Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in his heart. They are sensible, smart, and filial. The advantages that seem to appear in people can be seen in the two children, not as naughty as the other children. Since seeing them, I didn't see them doing anything that I missed, and I didn't say that they cried endlessly after falling.
At this time, when Wang Juan said something he was thinking about, he happily touched Wang Juan's head, and raised a few words to the people standing there.
A few people really did not think that the benefits turned out to be like this, not what they can get, but the lives of the people. These are not important, but the last sentence is important.
"Master Bi, you mean, we can go to the academy to study?" The person who spoke just now asked happily.
"Yeah! Teaching is nothing. Although you are a little poorer in learning and thinking less about people's livelihood, this is exactly what the academy wants to teach. In the future monthly exams, you will have to test some of this. If you have been rated as middle-to-below for three consecutive months, then you don’t need to study it anymore."
The old man suddenly thought of this. It turned out that he planned to teach students the same way in other colleges, but now he finds that many people are just learning, and other aspects are too bad. When he decided to teach, he also involved some of this content. Everyone who goes out of the academy, whether it is an official or an academic, must always remember this.
The monthly entrance examination is not too difficult. There are also middle and upper, upper, two, etc., as long as you are not lazy when you study, it will not be bad.
A few people stood there and nodded fiercely. They will talk about it later in the next month. It is what they expect to be able to enter the new academy. Shangshu tells the old folks that it is good to return home, but they can still contact the people in the court, even if No matter how knowledgeable you are, you have to be recommended by someone. If you submit a post by yourself, it's a far cry from Lao Shangshu's words.
"Xiaobao, still come to learn "Anthology" today?" The old man asked Zhang Xiaobao without taking care of a few more happy people.
Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand. "Don’t learn first, go home and learn with my father. If there is something we don’t understand in the future, Juanjuan and I will write to Grandpa Bi to ask. Grandpa Bi will also visit Huayuan County when he is free. Yaowang Mountain will be good, and there is Fragrant Mountain. My family is going to build a big lake on Yaowang Mountain, and the scenery will be better."
"Okay, good boy, then I will accompany the old man to fish for a while, and then I will use the fish I catch to make food for you."
The old man had no choice but to let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan study. The two children had already worked very hard, and they also started to get in touch with things that people in their 20s shouldn't understand.
The old man said lightly, Zhang Xiaobao answered casually, but the few people standing were different. They suddenly felt that a great pressure was falling on them, how big are the two children? You started to learn essay selection, so you have already finished learning some simple thousand-character essays? The Analects have also been memorized
"Okay, I will eat the fish caught by Grandpa Bi in a while. Now my father asked me and the cuckoo to stop for a while, and learned that if someone is in the mountains, when I was taken by the prickly pear, I couldn’t keep up. The words are difficult to understand. Juanjuan and I are carrying Erya on our backs, and we will go back to learn when we have done the same."
Zhang Xiaobao talked about the progress of his studies with Wang Juan, and Wang Juan nodded to prove it.
The old man smiled comfortably, "Okay, you know if you don't work hard. If you don't understand in the future, remember to write to and ask, and just go to the official posts of the two counties. The speed is fast."
This time the few people were completely suppressed. They only learned the Book of Poems inside. The two little ass children actually learned the book of Sao Xia, and the scroll of the mountain ghost, they still deliberately stopped to recite the ya. Could it be that the child of the champion can be so good
"Grandpa Bi, let’s go back and eat something after fishing for a while. I lost a big fish. I ate the meat, but the fish bones did not move. Plus the saved fish maw. Part of it is left for Grandpa Bi to eat, and it will be good for the body in the future."
Wang Juan began to talk about her fishing. When talking about fish bones, it suddenly occurred to him that this thing also contains calcium, which has the same effect as cow bones.
The old man listened happily. After Wang Juan said the whole process, he said: "Eat, the cuckoo said to eat, and then eat it. Since I came to your village, the old man, my body is getting better every day, and he gave it to me. I have a menu, and you two are interested."
The old man sighed and started fishing again. The few people didn’t plan to leave, and stood respectfully. Zhang Xiaobao took out some soybeans popped out of the popcorn pot and shared them with Wang Juan and the old man while eating. :
"Grandpa Bi, those individuals who compete in individual competitions are coming over in a few days. It happens that the academy is open together. Grandpa Bi will see how they are. If there are good people and no official positions, they will stay. We will build more in the future. Several academies constantly compare each other and can learn from each other's strengths."
Zhang Xiaobao chewed the soybeans with a rattling noise, and even said slurredly.
The old man looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and suddenly laughed, "Now your family is making money again. They may not spend much money on the game, but there are some people who watch the excitement, and they will definitely follow, especially if there are women in the family who are waiting to be married. Wealthy people, naturally, can't miss an opportunity to choose a son-in-law. Tell me about your family's plans?"
"Hey hey, Grandpa Bi, you can’t always think like this. My family’s organizing this game is cumbersome, and it’s also a kind of labor. Paying for it is natural to be rewarded. In fact, my family has to spend a lot of money. My father is going to be in Huayuan. More schools were built in the two places of County and Sanshui County.
When the child was young, he first studied in the academy, and when he was older, he entered the academy. The school must be taught. Some people who did not pass the exam had no money on them. They were hired to teach the little children. When they were taught, they reviewed the previous You can still have food and lodging for things you learn, and you can get some money. "
Zhang Xiaobao laughed a few times, turned away from making money, and began to tell the old man about the plans of the two counties. There is no difference between Sanshui County and Zhang’s own family. As long as Zhang’s family says anything, Sanshui County will cooperate. To do, the Zhang family's words work in both counties.
