Views:

"You want to start an academy and martial arts club?"

Fatty Zhang opened his mouth like a hippopotamus about to die of thirst. The matter between the Yu family and the Guoji family has not been resolved. Every day the dispute between the two tribes continues weakens his prestige and influence. He is the boss but can't solve it, so is he still the boss

At this time, Shengmiao came to join in the fun again. The semi-savage who had been hiding in the deep mountain and neither approached nor refused outsiders actually came out of the mountain, and the place where he appeared happened to be near the active volcano of Mount Mercury. Desperate.

At this time, Ye Xiaotian urgently asked for an interview, saying that there was an important matter to discuss. Fatty Zhang thought he had some important news, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to propose to him to open an academy and martial arts meeting. Fatty Zhang felt a pain in the ass. It's so important.

Ye Xiaotian said: "Actually, it's not that the lower officials want to do it, but that Mr. Luo, a wealthy gentleman from Hu County who recently moved to our mansion, wants to donate money to build an academy and a martial arts club, so as to help our Tongren Mansion promote enlightenment, as a demonstration For the support of the magistrate, the subordinates are just helping him."

Ye Xiaotian said: "I have a government school in Tongren Mansion, and the rest are private schools. Those who can go to the government and scholars are all the children of officials. Those who can enter the private school or hire teachers to teach in the government are all rich people. And the children of poor people even if they want to accept education , but can't get in.

Therefore, Mr. Luo discussed with the subordinate officials to open an academy only for the children of poor people. The cost of building the academy and hiring teachers were all donated by Mr. Luo and the enlightened gentry in this government. The students did not need to spend a penny to teach them to read. Literacy, even if you can't get fame in the future, you can make a living if you can write and count.

As for the martial arts school, it is because the largest industry in Tongfu Prefecture is water and land transportation. Among the various industries, more than 40% of them are in this industry, while other industries account for less than 60%. Those who have fists and kicks are better, and some children may not be good at reading because of their dull talents, so they are supplements to the academy. "

Fatty Zhang listened hard for a long time, and finally understood a sentence, that is, he does not need to spend money or worry about it, as long as he nods. So Fatty Zhang nodded and said, "Success, since that's the case, you can do it without the government's consent."

Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord, martial arts competitions can be held at any time, but running an academy is different from running a private school. Only with the approval of the general academy, the Taoists, and the province's school officials, can it be opened. Don't ask the government to respect your Excellency. How dare the officials go beyond their authority and report to the police.”

Fatty Zhang said impatiently: "Okay, my government has already agreed, you go to draw up the Taoist statement yourself, and this government will submit it to you!"

Ye Xiaotian originally thought that Fatty Zhang would be a showman, so he could encourage Fatty Zhang to be the dean of the academy, so that he would be more attentive, but seeing that he was absent-minded and impatient at the moment, he didn't say this, anyway, he had already agreed, so he agreed Withdrew out.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian came out, he saw Dai Tongzhi limping over with a stinky face supported by a scorpion. Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Ah! Master Dai is back! Master Dai has worked hard, what's wrong with your lord?" ?”

When Dai Tongzhi saw Ye Xiaotian, he said resentfully: "Barbarians, uncivilized barbarians, simply unreasonable barbarians!"

Ye Xiaotian asked blankly: "When did my younger brother offend Mr. Dai?"

Dai Tong knew: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about those seedlings. Ouch!" While Dai Tongzhi was speaking, his ankle sprained again, causing him to groan in pain, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "I'm in a hurry to see the magistrate. , I’ll talk to you later.”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Okay! If that's the case, I'll go and inform Li Jing, and I'll welcome Mr. Tongzhi tonight."

Looking at Dai Tongzhi's limping back, Ye Xiaotian was amazed. The magistrate sent Dai Tongzhi to Tixi this time, just to test the intention of the Gedolo tribe coming out of the mountain. The two sides should not have conflicts. Dai Tongzhi looked like this, could it be me The "old man" made it difficult for him? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

As soon as Fatty Zhang sent Ye Xiaotian away, Dai Tongzhi walked in. As soon as he saw Zhang Zhifu, he pushed away the Zao Li who was supporting him, and came a "golden rooster independence", and saluted Zhang Zhifu: "Your Majesty, the subordinate is back .”

Fatty Zhang wondered: "Chonghua, you...how did you become like this?"

Dai Chonghua smiled wryly: "It's hard to say!"

Fatty Zhang said: "Come, come, sit down, sit down and talk slowly."

Dai Tongzhi jumped in front of a chair with one leg, sat down slowly while leaning on the armrest, and then explained to Zhang Zhifu.

Dai Chonghua rushed to Tixi, and immediately went up the mountain to find the tribe that had migrated out of the mountain. After inquiring, he found out that this tribe was the Gedolo tribe. Had a conversation between a chicken and a duck.

Dai Chonghua politely said to Gedolao: "Chief Gedolao, I am the Tongren prefect's co-prefect. The magistrate learned that your tribe is leaving the mountain, so he specially sent this official to greet you. I don't know why your tribe moved out of the mountain. Woolen cloth?"

Gedol raised his hands high and solemnly said: "The great and omnipotent Gu God issued an oracle that a catastrophe will occur in the place where our family is located, and pointed out a new auspicious place for our devout believers to live. Here, we follow the oracle!"

As Gedol said, he asked a feathered birdman to show Dai Chonghua a turtle shell. Dai Tongzhi looked left and right, but he couldn't understand the burnt lines on it, which could convey the content to these half-savages. Such a wealth of information.

Dai Tongzhi tried to persuade him, "Patriarch Genalao, it's wrong for you to do this. If the gods tell you that the capital city is the auspicious place for you to live, can you go to the capital city to build a house? Are you asking the gods?" I will show you another auspicious place in the deep mountains."

Dai Tongzhi originally thought that there was a war between the Gedolao tribe and other tribes, and the soldiers were defeated and fled, or some natural disaster happened to the tribe's resident.

If it is these reasons, then it is not a problem. The life style of growing seedlings in the mountains is very simple, and the area of activity is also limited. It is useless for a tribe to occupy too much territory. After the war between the two tribes is over, they will automatically move back to their original residence .

If it was because of a natural disaster in the original station, that would not be a big problem. Allow them to stay here for a period of time, up to a year and a half. When the ecology of the original residence is restored, they still have to return to the original residence, but the reason for their migration is the oracle. Send an oracle to let these ignorant savages go back to their hometown.

After Dai Tongzhi finished speaking, he immediately noticed that Gedol and the feathered bird man looked at him with disdainful eyes, as if they were looking at an ignorant barbarian. Dai Tongzhi felt very uncomfortable when they looked at him, so he said : "The chief of the Gedolao family doesn't understand what I mean?"

Ge Duol curled his lips and said, "Do you think gods are like businessmen who do business with you and can bargain?"

Dai Tongzhi patiently explained: "Child of Gedolao, you should know that this place belongs to Tongren Mansion and is under the management of Tixi Division. If refugees from one or two families escape, it will be fine, but the entire tribe Migrating here is absolutely impossible.”

Gedolao Nahan said: "Why?"

Dai Tongzhi took a deep breath, and said: "This issue is complicated, and it involves issues such as road guides, household stickers, yellow books, taxes, corvees, etc. What is a road guide? It is necessary for going out to work, do business, and travel. The proof. What is a household sticker? It is to record the head of the household, the township, the household, etc., and the Dingkou... "

Dai Tongzhi talked on and on for a long time, and his mouth was dry, so he stopped to drink some water to moisten his throat: "Chief Gedolo, do you understand?"

Gedol nodded and said happily, "I understand, but... what does this have to do with us?"

Dai Tongzhi spat out a sip of water, coughed for a long time, and then explained with impatience: "Because everyone has a household registration, where your household registration is, you have to be there. Without the government's consent, you can't move. from other places."

Gedu Lao said blankly: "But we have never had a household registration."

Dai Tongzhi suffocated, and became angry from embarrassment: "But haven't you been living in the mountains?"

Gotold: "That's right! However, the great and omnipotent Gu God has now instructed us to leave there, so we are going out of the mountain!"

Dai Tongzhi said angrily, "Thousands of you, old and young, need to eat, drink, wear, and live! If you pop up suddenly, there will be fewer things that belong to the local people, less prey, and less cultivated land. less, what should they do?"

Gedold laughed loudly, and said: "It turns out that you are worried about this matter, don't worry, don't worry, the gods show us the way, we have to use our own knife to split the thorns, and use our own legs to wade through. It will do. Whoever doesn’t want to, come on, either kill us or be killed by us, it’s extremely simple.”

Dai Tongzhi roared weakly: "Our prefect will not agree with you to move here, you must leave!"

This hit a hornet's nest, Gedold, the bird man next to him, and many savages were all furious: "What's so great about your prefect, is he more powerful than the great and omnipotent Gu God?" Great? You are treasonous, you are offending the gods!"

Dai Tongzhi fled in the midst of the spittle flying all over the sky amidst the swearing of everyone. Because he walked in such a hurry, he sprained his ankle when going down the mountain, and he still hasn't recovered yet.

After Zhang Zhifu heard Dai Tongzhi's words, his fat face became tangled up again. In fact, in the southwest region of this era, it can be said that the land is sparsely populated, and the land utilization rate is extremely low. Let alone a tribe of several thousand people, even a few hundred thousand people can be accommodated, but that is due to the slow and natural population growth. The premise. Especially the land outside the mountain has its own ownership, even if it is barren, it is fine to let the vegetation grow and flourish every year, but if you want to give it to others, who will agree.

Fatty Zhang supported his forehead with a headache, and said distressedly: "Isn't there any good news to make me happy?"

Dai Tong knew: "There is some good news, because the Gedolao tribe suddenly appeared, and the Tixi Yu family and the Guoji family have already stopped fighting."

Fatty Zhang was overjoyed, and Dai Tongzhi said again: "But if the Gedoldo tribe doesn't leave, I'm afraid the Yu family and the Guoji family will go to war with them!"
