"Confucius said, 'To govern with virtue, for example, Beichen, where he resides, all the stars are there.' Confucius said, 'Poetry, three hundred, in a word … "
"Hidden against visible, silent against noisy, willow shore against paradise. Warblers against Yan friends, morning and evening against greetings. Fish leaping over swamps, crane riding on the shore, drunken courage against singing souls … "
"Outside, we receive teachings from Fu, inside, we serve our mother. Various aunts and uncles, Confucius and Bi 'er. Kong Huai brothers, of the same breath and branch. Making friends, casting points, sharpening rules … "
When the children of different learning levels in the village began to recite, the people smiled and worked hard.
Zhang Shuo drank tea. He had nothing to do. His presence here represented everything.
"This is the enlightenment of sound, written by Xiao Yi. Oh, copied.
When we went to Li Family Zhuangzi, the first thing we heard was' Heaven against Earth, Rain against Wind, Continent against Sky '. It's called' Li Family Zhuangzi '.
At that time, Li Family Zhuangzi was not as big as it is now. Xiao Yi could not determine a person's life and death and career. "
Zhang Shuo felt comfortable all over. The children's reading voices were pleasant to the ears. He began to recall and told Li Guiheng and Ma Jin.
"At that time, I had not entered Li Family Zhuangzi, but I heard people talk about it. Sigh!" Li Guiheng regretted that he had gone too late.
"Did you send someone to tell Li Dongzhu about this?"
Ma Jin could not participate in the conversation. He wanted to ask if Li Yi had been told about the village's situation.
"We sent the pigeons out early in the morning. The distance is close, and it won't take long to reach Zhuangzi. If Dongzhu has arrangements, he will release the pigeons raised here. "
Li Guiheng did not send anyone. When there was a disaster, he would release two pigeons at a time.
Before releasing them, he had to take back the pigeons raised here. Otherwise, it would be easy to bring the Chang 'an pigeons back.
"Did he say anything about me?" Zhang Shuo asked when he heard that there were pigeons flying.
"Of course he did. It's all thanks to the magistrate's overnight rescue," Li Guiheng replied.
"I was just worried. It's not a big deal. Seeing the people of Xiaoluonan Village, everything was worth it. "
Zhang said that he was happy, and the words he said were official words.
He didn't care that he was slower than the Li Family Zhuangzi's team. Wasn't it normal to be slower?
When I get back, I'll deal with the officials of Feishan County. They still haven't arrived yet. My tea after dinner is already cold.
In fact, Zhang Shuo only took two sips of tea. He mainly ate fruits. An hour after the meal, he ate the muskmelon and watermelon platter with toothpicks.
The workers only ate a few mouthfuls of fruits after they finished their meal. They didn't have time to slowly savor the fruits.
The children would only eat fruits during their lunch break. The children did not leave any space for their stomachs after breakfast. They would eat as much as they could. After eating their fill, they would go to class. After two hours, they would be hungry.
After the break, they could still eat lunch.
If the child only ate two meals a day, the child's growth would not be as good as a well-nourished child, especially in terms of height.
The rain on the mountain gradually lessened, and more of the ground was exposed.
The commoners dug carefully, not daring to go over immediately for fear of being trapped.
Looking out, it was a complete mess. If this was a different place and time, the commoners would be crying because their homes had been destroyed.
The villagers were chatting and laughing. How tiring it was to work so hard, so let's chat!
…
Jia Zhangqiu was also chatting. He had applied for leave and brought his wife, son, and daughter over early in the morning.
His niece was pregnant and came here with her mother and nephew's son-in-law. In the end, she fell sick halfway and gave birth on the cruiser.
His niece had written a letter before coming, and his sister had personally written a letter asking them to take care of her.
"Uncle, this is a candied date. It's from the date tree at home. It was harvested last year and made with honey." The mother-in-law took out 'good stuff'.
"Good, good. I like this. My grandnephew is so good-looking. Even when he's sleeping, I want to kiss him."
Jia Zhangqiu already knew that the child would be named by Li Yi.
His niece's name was Shi Miao. Her husband's surname was Xia, and her husband's name was Xia Hao. His mother's surname was Guan, and she was called Xia Guan.
It was a pity that his sister did not come. He had to support her. He didn't want her husband's family to look down on his niece.
The baby was sleeping. He was only three days old. He didn't know how to eat, sleep, poop, or cry.
"Uncle, Li Dongzhu said …"
The mother-in-law quickly got down to business. After she finished, she looked at Jia Zhangqiu with a look that said, "We've worked hard for you."
Jia Zhangqiu was shocked. "I can enter the Ministry of Revenue? Fair transfer? Okay! "
He was in the Chang 'an government service and knew how powerful the Ministry of Revenue was.
The benefits were very high. It was so high that no one dared to accept bribes or corruption.
The selection was strict and required one's character. When working in other places, one could not enter if there was a problem.
Anyone who was selected would not be willing to be corrupt. This department represented glory.
"I wanted to ask how much money I have to pay to enter, but Li Dongzhu said no," the nephew's son-in-law said softly.
"Luckily, he said it in front of Li Dongzhu. Otherwise, I would have found a way to pay him. Haha!" Jia Zhangqiu was glad.
He knew that there were more than 300 people who tried to get in by paying money. Not only did they not enter, but they were also demoted.
"Uncle, are you going for lunch later?" The child's mother was afraid that her uncle would lose face.
"I'm going. I need to think about how to answer when they ask me. Xiao Miao, this is not about money. There are no Ming Jingke people in the Ministry of Revenue."
Jia Zhangqiu was excited. He was in the Ming Jingke Department of Revenue.
"Are they all Grand Scholars?" Jia Zhangqiu's son asked.
"Ming Jingke, Ming Jingke, I passed the evaluation! Same for Grand Scholars. But I have no chance to pass the evaluation. "
Jia Zhangqiu said with tears in his eyes. He was 46 years old. Ever since he became a small official, he had been cautious and conscientious.
Finally, he was recognized.
"Father!" Jia Zhangqiu's children shouted together.
"It's okay. There will be a lot of things at home in the future. Meat, fruits, seafood, silk, houses …"
Jia Zhangqiu said that there were benefits. For those who wanted to take advantage of the situation, benefits were like a guillotine. For people like him, benefits were guaranteed.
He was honest when he was a small official in the past. When he took on a heavy responsibility, he did not dare to make any mistakes.
"Uncle, look at the child. Will others care about you? What if they don't talk to you? "The mother-in-law was worried.
Jia Zhangqiu smiled and shook his head: "It's just an excuse. I believe that the Li Family Zhuangzi's men are investigating my past. As long as I pass, everything will be settled."
… …
"Old Bi, what did you eat for breakfast? Old Bi, don't be like this. If I give you the child, can you teach him? Let me check your teeth. "
Li Yi went to look for Bi Goo. Bi Goo was in a fit of pique and his disciple was snatched away. He was very sad and very upset.
That disciple was only 9 years old. Many 19 or 29 year olds could not compare to him.
When Li Yi spoke to him, he turned his head and looked away. He looked like a child.
When he heard Li Yi talking about his teeth, Bi Goo turned his head: "I will eat porridge in the future. I don't want my teeth anymore."
"Eating porridge is not a problem. The problem is that I don't know if I should say this. 10 million RMB is not a business income. It's a tax. I can't find anyone to discuss it with."
When Li Yi saw that his teeth were not working, he quickly changed to another topic.
"Xiao Yi, I have always known that your dental skills are good. Let me take a look later. Does the porridge taste good? That … what's 10 million RMB again?"
Bi Goo instantly forgot his worries. He was not angry at all. What disciple? Anyway, he could not snatch him away. Quickly, let's talk about the actual benefits.
