To say that what Ji Changze did for weeping willows spread to the capital, the Wei family was happiest.
Especially Mrs. Wei, her daughter is like a jewel by her side. She has grown up to good years. She has read books and characters, embroidered clothes, tasting tea, taking care of household affairs, and the things that a daughter of the family should learn. There is nothing left out. I have learned all of them, and I have learned very well.
Coupled with Wei Juncan's stunning looks and gentle temperament, he has always been outstanding in the capital. Even though Mrs. Wei never thought of letting her daughter go to the imperial palace to marry her, in the heart of motherhood, her eldest girl is No one can compare to it.
Before the incident, Mrs. Wei was already looking for a husband and son for her daughter. At that time, she was so picky. The family background was too high, and she was afraid that her husband's family would bully others. If the family background was too low, it would not work, and she was afraid that her daughter would endure hardships after marrying. , It is necessary to have a good academic and moral character. It is best to have a considerate temperament. If the eldest son in the family is the best, he will not be afraid of going out in the future, and he will have a more stable temper than those who are younger brothers.
As a result, the candidate hadn't been singled out yet, and she was confused, and her daughter was given an offer that she had never heard of or seen before, and she didn't even know where the other party was.
Although this move was later awarded a Jinshi and entered the court as an official, at that time, there were many people who were jealous of Mrs. Wei and did not accept Mrs. Wei in the concubine, secretly gloating in misfortune.
Everyone can see how good Wei Juncan is, knowing that if nothing goes wrong, she will definitely marry a good family and live in peace under the care of her parents.
It is precisely because of this that when an accident happened, she appeared to be even more miserable when she married a merchant.
Mrs. Wei couldn't eat well during that time. During the day, she had to fight hard to deal with some people who wanted to see her jokes, and she was exhausted.
Even if Wei Juncan left Beijing with Ji Changze to go to Weeping Willow later, some people who didn't deal with her would still talk about it and stab her during the party.
Mrs. Wei is a gentle person, even if her heart is numb, she still wants to hold onto her image and smile.
Isn't your heart frustrated?
Aggrieved!
But there is no way to be aggrieved, whoever lets others tell is the truth.
It is true that the merchants who are not in the top rankings are sent to such impoverished places as Weeping Willow.
Now it seems that the direction of the wind has changed overnight. Originally, Mrs. Wei, who had only thought that her son-in-law was just a yuanhuayi, heard the news from the capital, and her spirit suddenly came.
At the banquet, although she didn't say anything big, she still showed her richness "without a trace".
"No, this kid is very filial. When Yuan Huayi made it, he hurriedly sent it to us. I'm so old that I don't need it much, so I divided it up with friends."
"Yes, the two couples are in a good relationship. Didn't my second brother come back yesterday? Tell me that my eldest girl is pregnant, oh hello, my uncle is considerate at first, and now he looks at his sister even more. Eyeballs, saying that the vegetables I bought were not fresh, so I bought the land specially, and planted and took care of me personally. The vegetables that I planted were so fresh and refined to be eaten by my eldest girl."
"Really? You heard that Yuan Huayi was created by my uncle to make it for my girl? I don't know what happened before the young couple. How am I embarrassed to ask."
"Yes, although I'm far away, my uncle is not missing a letter on the day. I know that he is caring and treats my eldest girl. I feel comfortable."
She succeeded in saying that she was happy, and looking at those who used to joke about raising a daughter in vain, their faces became stiff, and Mrs. Wei was satisfied and stopped talking.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she immediately called someone to call Wei Junli, who was still sleeping, to her yard, and asked him if his brother-in-law's words from the capital were true.
Wei Junli was originally asleep. He was already tired from the exhaustion on the road. When he came back, he saw his parents touch the bed and fell asleep. When he was pulled up, he kept yawning.
When I went to my mother's yard, when I heard that it was about asking about his brother-in-law, I immediately became energetic, saying "If you ask this, I won't be sleepy."
"No, it's all true. My son saw it with his own eyes. The Yuanhua Forest is under the inn. When he stops on the second floor, he can not only see Yuanhua all over the ground, but also the appearance of Weeping Liu County, early in the morning. I can still wait for the sunrise, it's as beautiful as a painting."
"The lantern festival is naturally true, but I don't think what they portrayed is detailed enough. The day of the lantern festival was much more lively than what they said. There is everything. Everyone wears a mask. There are jugglers, snack sellers, and sugar sellers. There are all kinds of lantern riddles, and the rewards for guessing them are different. Not all coins or lanterns are used. Some of them are required to compose a poem after guessing the lantern riddles. It's fun."
"There is an orphanage, but my brother-in-law took her son to see it. My mother doesn't know. Now my sister is so prestigious. She goes to the orphanage most often. The children there respect her very much. I also heard that my brother-in-law earns both money. Sister, if he wants to buy something, he still has to ask his sister for money."
It is worthy of being a mother and son, and the way and tone of speech are the same.
This is talking to my own biological mother. There is no need to be as particular as when communicating with people outside. Wei Junli said something to each other, but it is a matter of a mother listening to her daughter and son-in-law, even if he said it. Mrs. Wei still listened with gusto.
Hearing this, he interrupted him, and asked with some worry: "Your sister is also a good temper at home, why do you treat your uncle like this? No matter how good your temper is, your uncle is still a gentleman and an official. You can't take all the silver taels, right?"
"Hey, mother, don't you know. Brother-in-law did this on purpose. He is very hot in Weeping Willow now. Many traders come to Weeping Willow and look for Brother-in-law. He always tells them that both banks are in the house. Then, he has no money on him and it is not convenient to go out. According to my opinion, this is all discussed by his sister and husband."
After hearing Wei Junli's explanation, Mrs. Wei relieved her mind and chanted Amitabha a few times.
"So, Grandpa is really so capable, and his reputation spread. I don't know if it can attract the attention of the above. If it is for this reason, it would be fine to transfer him back to the capital."
Wei Junli didn't agree with: "What are you going to do? My brother-in-law can do a big job in Weeping Willow, isn't it because Weeping Willow is remote and poor, and there are no powerful people living in it? If you return to Beijing, you will drop a brick. After smashing ten people, all eight of them may be the royal relatives, relatives, and powers, so how can they show their talents?"
Mrs. Wei glared at her son: "What do you know, weeping willows are remote, and my uncle is just a magistrate, no matter how capable it is, what use is it? If you return to Beijing, if your father is taking care of you, can it be worse?"
Wei Junli curled his lips.
He didn't believe that his father was as good as the old-fashioned person would take care of his brother-in-law.
"Also, your sister is pregnant and waits until she has a child. If it is a male, she will always go to school. If she doesn't return to Beijing, she will be released. If the child is in a remote place when the child is in school, where is the child? What can you learn? If you return to Beijing, your father has a quota for the Imperial College, which is really impossible. It is better for your father to teach him than to find a gentleman."
This is reasonable, but Wei Junli agrees with it this time.
But he always felt that brother-in-law didn't want to come back too much. Looking at the posture before he left, his brother-in-law planned to do a big job in Weeping Willow. Now that he hasn't done it halfway, how could he be willing to return to Beijing.
How about Ji Changze admiring his brother-in-law, Wei Junli was indeed right, Ji Changze did not intend to leave the weeping willow.
Although he is backed by his father-in-law, in places like Beijing, his father-in-law's name is definitely not as good as in Weeping Willow.
The most important thing is that the people of Weeping Willows are really too good to be fooled (crossed out) and too pure and kind.
Because there are few local scholars and the people are generally uneducated, they are basically what Ji Changze said.
The adults said that the land should be so kind, but why is it so so kind? Your lord has fame and fame. He must be right, so just do it.
The adults said they wanted to open a textile factory and only recruited women, what? Can't women show up? The eldest daughters in the capital will not stay at home for the rest of their lives. The magistrate still goes to the orphanage every few days. The women earn money to supplement the family, so can they relax at home, isn't it?
The adults said they want to build a free college? Not to mention free colleges, even if it is a free mouse school, we have to support... Wait? Academy? ! ! !
The weeping willow people are boiling.
Weeping willow people generally don't know how to read. Is it because they don't want to read or study, and don't want to get fame and get rid of their current poor life? no.
This is ancient and not modern. There is no nine-year compulsory education, no cheap pen and paper, and no student loans. It is not a rare thing but the most common phenomenon to not be able to study here.
It is very difficult for ordinary farmers to support a scholar.
Take Ji's family as an example. Their family is a merchant. Although they are not very wealthy, they also serve as maids. They are much better than farmers. The original owner is the only child in the family. The hopes of several generations are placed on him. The family gave him the best, and just like that, he still couldn't buy any book he wanted.
There are also pens and inks. The cheapest pen and ink prices on the market are not something ordinary people can afford for a long time. Coupled with Shuxiu, eating and drinking every day, it is enough to crush the family.
But now, Master Ji, the magistrate of their weeping willows, says they want to open a free college.
As long as they are of the right age, they can go to school. Not only do they do not stop studying, the academy will also provide free pen and ink.
Even the pie in the sky can't describe the mood of these hopeful people. Even if the college invites not a big scholar, but the most ordinary gentleman, to them, it is like a ladder from the sky.
If I can't climb it, I will say that I have a chance to climb it anyway.
Ji Changze's reputation in Weeping Willows went up again, and there were even people who had children of school age in the family who heard about this incident and knelt down and moved in the direction of the government office to thank them with excitement.
Everyone knows that studying is good, everyone knows that getting fame is the right way, but they don't have money, but now, Master Ji sent their children to study without paying any money, even if they can't get fame in the future, they can read the word. Be a clerk or something.
The outside was boasted. In the county office, the head of the main booklet responsible for recording expenses was almost a big circle.
Didn't all the adults find Mr. Accountant separately? Why do you want him to be responsible for the expenditure records of this college?
He couldn't help it, and found Ji Changze with an outrage.
When I went there, I saw Master Ji squatting in front of the vegetable field, watering it with his own hands. The watery vegetables were so watered that they looked more beautiful in the sun.
The master book became more indignant.
Before Master Ji took office, his daily routine was drinking tea to tease the birds, strolling around the house, going out shopping, sitting in his house waiting for get off work, and sometimes listening to a small song at night. Happy.
Looking at now, he counts his expenses every day and counts his records, and his ability to plan for disks has risen by leaps and bounds. The hair is getting less and less and the top of his head is getting thinner and thinner. The first thing he opens his eyes and thinks about every day is not what the early morning is. It's about what kind of account is going to be calculated today. Last time I felt it was too difficult. I mustered up the courage to find Master Ji, but in the end he gave himself a more convenient method of calculation.
At that time, he was also bewildered by lard. Not only did he fail to realize that Master Ji did not solve his problems at all, but he also added to his study burden. He was also grateful for it. He felt that this was an adult who taught him not to hide his own personalities.
After that, I was very passionate about it for a few days. Regarding the new task that the adult gave me, I felt that this was the new task that the adult gave him specifically to help him exercise a new calculation method.
Thinking about it now, I really want to slap myself back then.
Why was he fooled by an adult again?
Obviously, Wuxian Cheng specifically told him last time that the adults have a deep mind and like to fool their subordinates the most, but he still doesn't believe in evil.
This time, you must make it clear to the adults that you must not be deceived again!
After Ji Changze poured the water, he turned his head and found that his master book was muttering to himself with a firm expression. He was happy and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The master book suddenly returned to his senses, coughed a few times, and kept brainwashing himself "this is a normal request, this is a normal request", and then walked to Ji Changze with his head high.
Give a salute first: "My lord is well."
"Well, you are well." Ji Changze glanced at the opponent's slightly tense and clenched hand, put down the bucket for watering the tree, stood up and asked; "You are here to find the official, but what do you want to say? Said the officer?"
Master Book: "...Here, the next official does have some words."
He Barabara made it clear. The general idea is that you can't just grab my sheep and die, and you don't have any money. Is it that difficult to hire a few clerks?
Working overtime like this every day, I really can't stand this kind of social animal life. The most important thing is, do you know how I lived with the former magistrate? That's a happy life, that's a happy life, I'm almost at the age of retirement, I really don't want to be so tired.
Ji Changze agreed. He waited patiently for the master book to finish, and then said slowly: "The official also told you before. In this county, there are not many people who can be trusted by the official, except for you. Who else can this officer believe?"
The master book, he believed this before, but now.
The people of weeping willows can't wait to put Ji Changze in their palms and devoutly serve him. The accountants in Yuanhua Pancreas Factory adore him so much. Isn't it easy for him to find a trusted accountant?
Seeing the master's unbelief, Ji Changze felt that he was really helpless.
He was telling the truth, his roots are not deep, and there are not many people who can believe in the county government, just one, two, three, four, five, six, and so on. Of course, the outside of the county doesn't count.
The master book doesn't believe it, he can only tell the master book what he really thinks.
In the college, Ji Changze wanted to do it a long time ago, but this place is too poor and lacks teachers.
Even if you find a teacher, your level is not high enough. It can't be blamed on people's poor learning. It's because the place is too poor. The husband is willing to teach his disciples, but no one can teach him.
Therefore, Ji Changze focused on these people in his county.
County Cheng, he only learns well and can teach students to make things.
He is good at catching heads. During this time, he has developed his ability to be a master martial artist for the students. Recently, he is working overtime to learn how to ride horseback and shoot.
The master book settled well, and I learned the new method that Ji Changze taught before to use the better accounting method, which can be a math teacher. Ji Changze would not admit that he had already calculated this way when he taught the master book.
Of course, he definitely can't directly say to the master book, "I think you are pretty good if you lack a husband in the college. You work hard and work overtime."
If you say this, the owner will definitely feel "Ah, I have to work overtime again, I'm so hard." If I feel hard, I'll feel uncomfortable. If I feel uncomfortable, I'll be in a bad mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll eat, eat, and sleep or sleep. it is good.
As a qualified boss, how could Ji Changze treat his subordinates so cruelly.
So he sighed for a long time, and said to the master book with a pity: "Since you insist, the officer is not hiding it from you. You can see why the officer gave you the new calculation methods instead of handing it over to you. Others?"
The master rolls his eyes in his heart. What else can he do because of, of course, his seniority and experience learn more quickly, so he can quickly learn to continue to be a social animal.
Ji Changze: "You have also been sitting in the main book position for many years. Now I have the opportunity to give you a hand. How can I not do it."
Master Book: "???"
Pull... pull what? ?
Ji Changze: "We are all our own, so I won't hide it from you. You know, I am going to open a college, and I don't charge any literary training, and the pen and ink are all provided by the college for students."
The main book nodded, but still didn't quite understand, yeah, what's wrong, isn't this matter announced long ago? Isn't the account book he looked at the college expenses?
Ji Changze sighed half-truth and half-fake: "I am a weeping willow and a great man. I am not without talents. It's just that most of the locals couldn't read books. Now I opened a college and offered students to study for free. If you think about it, these hundreds of students study hard. Is it possible that you can't make a famous person?"
The master book still doesn't quite understand what Shangguan is talking about.
Ji Changze continued to behave in a good way: "If this official arranges you to get the position of a gentleman in the academy to teach these hundreds of students, in the future, some of them will be selected as scholars, candidates, Jinshi, or even the first prize, and they will be admitted to the top prize. It is possible."
The master book's eyes lit up and he was lost in thought.
"Your salary is not too much, but if you go to a college to become a teacher, you must have monthly money. Of course, I know your disposition. You always don't value money. You definitely don't care about the monthly money you give to teach in the college. , But if you can teach a champion by yourself, you will be the teacher of the champion."
The main book refreshed, and his breathing was a little bit short.
Master of the number one scholar.
For a literati, what a temptation.
In particular, Ji Changze next to him is still whispering to the devil: "Even if you can't get a champion for a while, a teacher of hundreds of students, as soon as you go out, someone will call your husband and give you a discipleship. After a hundred years, there will be disciples. People in the family praised you, saying: There was once Mr. Liang, who was extremely knowledgeable..."
The main book is already full of enthusiasm.
To be a teacher of hundreds of people, he never even dared to think about it before. He never expected that Master Ji would be willing to put him in the academy and give him such a chance.
He was very grateful, and bowed deeply to Ji Changze: "Thank you, sir, thank you, I really don't know how to thank sir..."
"You and my colleague, you do a lot for me, how can I not reciprocate."
Ji Changze helped him up and sighed again: "I specially taught you that calculation method, so that you can teach the students of the college. You have used this method too, knowing how easy it is. With it, you You can also stand in the academy, does the Master Liang say?"
The master nodded gratefully: "Yes, the official is ashamed, but he didn't expect the adult to plan for the official. It's not the official."
"It's okay, it's your own person, what's polite? I will only tell you about this. You must not mention it to others first. During this time, quietly hold the account book I gave you to practice, so that you won't show your cowardice when you teach students. ."
The master book is even more ashamed. It turns out that Master Ji gave him the books of the college for his own good, but he actually saves the gentleman's belly with a villain, thinking that the adults don't want to work on their own before pushing him.
How could he think that, if adults were really so tired, how could they still open academies, return Yuanhua Pancreas Plant, and open lantern parties.
The master who thought this way naturally ignored that the opening of these things was all because of Mr. Ji's lip service. In addition to giving the plan to the plan, the rest of the trio of their subordinates were stubbornly doing it.
Think about it again that the adults have always treated him very well. Since the adults took office, there has been no shortage of fish, meat and fruits in the family. Last month, he even received a bonus that was higher than his annual salary.
But now, the adults are still planning for him to enter the academy, in order to enable him to teach students, he did not hesitate to teach him such precious calculation methods.
He suspected that the adults were lazy and didn't want to work. He was really kind and revenge.
The master book left in shame, and my heart was full of apologies to the boss.
Ji Changze kept watching him go before washing his hands and reading the notebook while licking melon seeds.
After he finished knocking the seeds, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said to the person who was waiting for instructions: "It's getting late, go back to the inner office."
He had to tell his wife that there was no need to worry about the shortage of weeping willows, and that he could not find a master who could teach the students to count.
Liang's master book is very progressive. In order to solve this problem, he took the initiative to go to school, work and study, and wait until the book of the college is calculated, it is estimated that he will be able to practice it.
In the sunset, Ji Changze looked at the red glow hanging in the sky, and sighed, why is he so lucky? Every time he meets his subordinates are so progressive and enlightened.
Good luck may also be an ability.
