In this era, no one can compare to Zhang Xiaobao in terms of the education of children.
When I ate that day, it turned out to be steamed insects. I also left a few of them for my brother to feed the ants, and even gave my brother a bite of an unprocessed caterpillar. As a result, the little guy never took the insects found outside. It's stuffed in the mouth.
In the afternoon, I found the bug and gave it to the maid, which meant that he would be delicious when he cooked it later.
The glass jar was also made, and a small nest of ants was thrown into it. The lid was not afraid to run out. As Zhang Xiaobao said, the little guy lost interest after watching the ants for a while, but became curious about the magnifying glass. I caught it in my hand and shone it around. When it hit my sister's face, I was startled by my sister's big curious eyes.
The younger brothers and sisters will run away, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to think of ways to exercise them. They can’t be like the two of them at the beginning. Then there will be an accident. They made a few shots and let them play, and they also prepared a little bit. Children who want to play with heavy toys have to work hard, and naturally stop playing if they have no energy.
"It's hot. Let them learn to swim. Throw a few more lifebuoys sewn with pigs in the water. The water temperature needs to be adjusted. Let him go in and play. There are also wooden ducks and little ones. Throw the fish in too."
Zhang Xiaobao got up in the morning, saw the four little guys sleeping in the shade after eating, and adjusted their pockets and said.
The purpose of wearing the pockets is not to look good, but to block the belly button. This is a place where nutrition was once transmitted, and it is easy to get sick when it is cold.
Wang Juan took two books and distributed one to Zhang Xiaobao. When he found a place to sit down and read it, he said, "Are you not afraid of them choking on water?"
"Shallow water, the kind that can show their heads even if they sit in the pool." Zhang Xiaobao took the book and looked at it. It turned out to be the post-yes during the imperial examination last year, and he immediately felt a headache.
"Then what else do you use a lifebuoy for?"
"Let them know what it's like to climb on the lifebuoy, experience the buoyancy for yourself, maybe you don't need to teach them, they will swim by themselves in a few days, and now they don't know how to be afraid when they grow up."
Zhang Xiaobao explained and started reading. In previous years, the imperial examination questions could be collected by others, but good answers could not be found. These were still brought out by trustees in the capital, some were put directly there, and some were taken by others. It is very useful for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to write an evaluation after reading it.
…
From the rice seedlings that have not yet set their ears, it can be seen that the harvest this year will not be less, and the rent will not worry.
Zhang Zhong thought again about the taxes collected by the people who were reared after the end of the year when they bought and sold them. It is estimated that they will also increase a lot. His task here is considered complete. It is estimated that after two years of work, he will be able to do so. Change places.
After a while, he would be free, and if he changed to another governor, he would find a way to have fun, a small banquet for three days and a large banquet for five days, or hunting, giving benefits to him, and so on.
Zhang Zhong doesn’t have such a hobby. He doesn’t need to take care of gift-giving matters, or read books, or see the children. In the end, he is really boring. After breakfast every day, he goes out for a stroll, takes his escorts and rides around. The life of the people, look at the goods on the market, and then enjoy the scenery of Shuzhou.
After walking near places, Zhang Zhong wanted to go far. But don’t expect to come back that day. He still hasn’t walked on the road to the farthest river. For half a month.
Zhang Zhong is not going to go home for so many days. He wants to visit Taihu Lake three or four days away, let people set up a car, bring more guards, and say hello to the family, and he will not rush towards Taihu Lake. .
As for the affairs of the state capital, the people in the inner court will take care of it.
The team wandered around, looking at the scenery and tasting tea. At night, the village was not in front of the shop, and the shop was not in the back. Other officials might feel uncomfortable when traveling. Zhang Zhong would not.
Find an open space, set up the tent, and there is a cook who starts to cook for everyone. The three cooks don’t give Zhang Zhong a single stir-fry. They all know that even if they make a small stir-fry, Zhang Zhong can’t eat it. You have to eat with everyone. .
It wasn't a deliberate attempt to get closer to the people in the inner courtyard. Zhang Zhong had already regarded the villagers and the people in the inner courtyard as his own family, and he was comfortable eating together with his family.
After a day’s journey, I stopped eating any stir-fried vegetables. The cooks followed suit. They directly let the three cooks make a stew and steamed a large pot of rice. Everyone cooked the rice and ate some dry or thin ones. .
Zhang Zhong ate an eight-point treasure and walked around the tent. He was accompanied by two guards and a child. The child was a farmer who came from the first Zhuangzi of the Zhang family. He usually studies in the Jianjia Academy. By the master's side, I came over with an initiative to apply.
Don’t look at leaving the academy, I have learned a lot. It’s better to be around Zhang Zhong than the academy. The knowledge you can learn in the academy can be learned in Zhang Zhong as well, or even more comprehensive. At the same time, go outside to see , But also insight.
"Zhang Tong, it's sixteen this year, right?" Zhang Zhong walked, stopped suddenly, and asked the boy looking at the starry sky.
The boy nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, you remember that is true."
"I will study hard again this year. Next year, before I leave Shuzhou, I will take off your nationality first, take a test, and then go to the place where there are our two shops, Zhang Wang, and read thousands of books. Wanli Road, look at the mountains and rivers of Datang, and experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the people in different places.
Zhang Zhong warned Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong stayed for a while, not knowing how to reply, rubbing his hands nervously, and said: "Master, I don't want to get out of my country. I just want to stay at the Zhang family and be the banker of the Zhang family."
"It’s still a child, how do you take the imperial examination if you don’t get out of your nationality? Who will help Xiaobao and the others if you don’t take the imperial examination? Examination must also be taken, and when the time comes, I will be scattered all over the country to be an official, so that I will be kind to the people of Tang Dynasty.
If you are short of money, you should not be greedy. Anyone who doesn't care for the people will be able to go up and be beaten down. Remember? "
Zhang Zhong's thoughts have been put to the time when his sons grow up. As long as the Zhang Wang family trains more outstanding children to become officials, there will be a helper.
Zhang Zhong just thought of it. He was too busy with other things before. He didn't know that his son had planned this way. Not only the farmer, but also the people from the college, and the Zhang Wang family in various places. The people funded by the money are now officials.
They are all cultivated in the dark to prevent corruption and accept bribes. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan spend more than 20,000 dollars in this area every year. After Zhang Zhong entered the capital, he would have a few staff, how could he have two assistants.
There are also people who specialize in the training of Yushitai, and they have to enter the three provinces and six departments. This kind of person may not need it once in a lifetime, and only spend money for nothing, but once Zhang Xiaobao is forced to use it, it will definitely not be a small one. In the scene, only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and the people who worked closely knew about this, and even Zhang Zhong and other family members did not know about it.
When Zhang Zhong was thinking about the future, Zhang Tong couldn’t calm down. He could imagine that there would be such a not-too-distant day. The little son and the brothers in the farmer were officials at the same time and helped each other. Right, sitting upright doesn't have to worry about being framed and pushed out.
The two of them were silent for a while, looking at the stars and the moon. After a while, Zhang Tong said aloud.
"Master, don't worry, we all know how to do it, for the sake of the people, we are all people who have suffered."
"Well! Let's go, there is still a long way to go." Zhang Zhong, who doesn't know the historical trend, has not already begun to calculate people like Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but he wants to make Datang more prosperous.
The two people wandered around for more than an hour. In fact, they were walking around the tent, that is, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan distilled floral water according to the insect repellent prescription. Otherwise, they would have been staring at them.
There are also cooling oils and wind oils, which are used to ensure the stability of sleeping in the wild, or to help refreshing.
After a few laps, he was finally tired from walking. Zhang Zhong yawned and said: "It's late at night, let's rest. I have to hurry tomorrow morning."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone here heard humming from the west.
"Who, Shuzhou governor, let me know, stop, let me get down."
When the sound came, Zhang Zhong was immediately surrounded by guards, and more torches were lit one by one.
After dozens of breaths, three riders came back to the east. They were all Zhang Zhong's escorts. One of the horses also had a tied man on his back, with an arrow stuck in the shoulder of the man's back.
There was a horse behind the three horses, thought to have been tied up to ride this man.
"Master, I caught a sneaky person. He didn't rest in the middle of the night. He ran towards this place on horseback. When he was seen, he ran away in a hurry. It might be against the master. Please let him go."
Immediately there was a security guard who was tied up turned over, threw the person to the ground, and said to Zhang Zhong. There was no expression of happiness or worry on his face. It seemed that he had done a trivial thing. This was Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan usually. It is taught that the responsibility of a guard is to guard, and there is nothing to be happy about protecting safety.
Zhang Zhong didn't know who came. He glanced at the people on the ground and waved his hands. "It's fine for you to interrogate. Tell me when you have news. I'll go back and lie down for a while."
Throwing a word, Zhang Zhong went into the tent, and someone here immediately took out the stuff that was stuck in the mouth of the person who was tied up. Before they could ask, this person threatened: "You know Who am I? I'm a member of the prince, and I work for the prince."
"Then quickly talk about things, sleepy, it's time to go to bed, what are you doing with so much nonsense, which prince, what do you have to say and do?"
The guard didn't care who it was, the most important thing was to ask for information, and kicked the person so hard to tell him.
"Yes, it's Lord Sining, don't hesitate to let me go." This person struggled to get up, but couldn't help it.
The guard kicked him again, "Can't you change your person? Still heir Prince Ning, whoever meets my lord will run away? It seems you have to let you know how powerful it is."
