Chapter 21 Initial Solicitation
It is so fragile, but it tells Zhou Bai that the lack of natal life can be compensated by the imperial examination.
As long as there are signs of evolution, it's easy to say, otherwise the one-month period will be the countdown to Zhou Bai's death. Even when the time comes, he doesn't even know how he dies.
Either it is thunder thunder, or it is crushed into powder by invisible force, these are all conceivable.
However, there is only one sign that he can pass the exam for the top student list and the pre-ordered scholar's fame. So is it impossible for him to pass the exam for the ordinary scholar to develop his complete birth?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai's brows frowned again, and it seemed that he had to treat the county trial half a month later.
It is not enough to pass the exam for a scholar, you must get a high ranking, preferably the first place.
Zhou Xiangwen, who had been staring at Zhou Bai, saw that his nephew was in a state of joy and joy, and thought he had resentment from the clan, so he quickly explained to his entourage a few words in private.
When Zhou Bai returned to his yard, it was filled with gifts, and there were congratulations from other rooms, but more were rewards ordered by the patriarch.
All kinds of tonics are included, fifty taels of silver, one exclusive carriage, one full-time groom, two maids, and two martial artists...
Zhou Yuan greeted the servant who was putting the gift, while Uncle Fu registered with the roster. When he saw Zhou Bai coming back, he also asked with his eyes.
Zhou Bai nodded slightly and asked Uncle Fu to continue registering, and he kept it all in check.
After that, Zhou Xiangwen took a stack of yellowed old paper from the servant who came from a distance and handed it over to Zhou Bai.
"Brother Bai, this is the three hundred acres of land that the patriarch asked me to hand over on his behalf."
Zhou Bai was stunned. The reward was too heavy, right? He didn't reach out to take it.
"Take it, these 300 acres of land were once under your father's name. Later, there was no scholar in the seventh house to be sheltered and exempted from taxes, and then returned to the clan's land." Zhou Xiangwen continued to explain.
But no matter what, this is three hundred acres of land. Zhou Bai looked complicated and slowly took over the land certificate.
"The patriarch said that even if you didn't pass the scholar exam this time because you were not lucky enough, the 300 acres of land will still be yours and you will be dealt with at will. However, the seven-bedroom land inherited under your name will still be waiting for you to crown before giving it to you. This is the clan rule."
"Thank you for Uncle Wu and thank you for the patriarch." After all, Zhou Bai thanked you for your short staff.
Seeing that Zhou Bo's attitude finally turned around, Zhou Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The boat and the car are exhausted. Since this is the case, you should rest first. Zhou Rui's mother is still waiting to see him. This kid is afraid that he will waste all the blessings of his ancestors when he was a child."
"Uncle Fifth, I have a heartless request. Can you lend me the old hand style for a while?" Zhou Bai pointed to the old hand style who had been following Zhou Rui.
Zhou Xiangwen was a little surprised, and Zhou Rui pointed at Zhou Bai and cursed: "Okay, Zhou Bai, I always want to poach the enemy, but I won't go to the county trial anyway, so forget it."
Zhou Rui seemed to scold Zhou Bai, but in fact he explained the reason to Zhou Xiangwen. The journey to the county town was long, so it was inevitable to have a trustworthy groom.
"Hahaha, okay, you can follow Mr. Bai for the time being, just like me." Zhou Xiangwen looked at the two brothers and laughed and ordered.
"Yes, lord." The old handkerchief was very neat and immediately walked behind Zhou Bai.
In fact, the reason why Zhou Xiangwen was so straightforward was that he also had the idea of protecting Zhou Bai. During this period, many desperate people had penetrated into Cangshan, and they were a little unruly.
The bustling yard lasted for a long time, and the spring breeze blew by, causing the malicious eyes of peeping around to be suppressed one by one.
Zhou Heyun didn't dare to appear in front of Zhou Bai at all, for fear of being humiliated, but Zhou Rui did not intend to let him go.
Since I came back, I have been wandering around the three-bedroom residence with Tongsheng's documents every day, and when I meet them, I feel sarcastic.
What occupies the most clan fortune, but he got twenty-nine, so why did he, the son of a merchant, take the bottom?
Zhou Rui knew that he had no hope for the county trial, so he had a lot of fun and forced a slutty boy like Zhou Heyun to read the book hard for a few days.
In addition to reading the books in the clan, Zhou Bai is making arrangements for the future in charge of the family.
He sent Zhou Yuan and two martial artists to travel around Hongni Township and the surrounding areas. It was not that others visited him, but that he recruited him with letters.
Although the content of the letter is not so straightforward, the meaning of winning over is not difficult to explain.
When Zhou Yuan came back, he brought more than ten letters, but most of the contents of the letter were concerned about him and did not agree to join him.
Zhou Bai naturally understood that even if you are a child, you wouldn’t have built a team so early, even if you are the top student.
But he recruited all the poor talents in his memory. At present, a few of them were interested in recruiting a high-level scholar.
This young master Zhou Bai will not be promoted to an official in the future, and he will be a chief official in the sixth house of the county government. So will the manor, land and other assets under his name need to be managed by someone?
If you may understand this, the few people who accept recruitment from young people who have not succeeded in doing so are the few.
In the end, there were only two peasant children, Zhong Wei and Yan Lie, who came from a farmer family, who were clearly invited in the reply, saying that they could come and join us at any time as long as Zhou Bai needed it.
Zhou Bai silently remembered the names of the two and ordered Zhou Yuan to send five taels of silver to show comfort.
In the future, he will recruit nearby townsmen again, but others will definitely fall behind Zhong Wei and Yan Le, which is the return on investment.
The same is true for the Zhou family. Although he did not say anything, he had a mark.
If he wants to accomplish something, in this world, the Zhou family members are always his basic foundation, while the villagers are his firm supporters.
Since the patriarch is willing to compensate and knows his mistakes, he is also willing to approve them.
He followed the court's pace in his previous life, but his family was destroyed and his life was alive for another life, of course he would not be a "loyal minister".
He had no industry in the clan to send someone to take care of it, and there was no need for Zhong Wei and Yan Lie to come over to the 300 acres of land.
Of course, the key is that you can't afford to support it for the time being. If you want to surrender, you will have to pay your salary to support it.
The ancestral home is surrounded by the Zhou family's most fertile land, but there are 3,000 acres of land under the jurisdiction of the Qunshitang, so the people who are divided into the manor and the fields are on the periphery like Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai’s 300 acres are located in the intersection of streams. As long as two ditches are opened, they will be high-quality paddy fields.
However, because it is far away from the core, it has not been developed after being managed by Qunshitang, but only hired a few tenant farmers to take care of them as Zhongtian.
On February 20, when he headed to the county town, Zhou Bai passed by and inspected the fields.
On the ridge of the field, Zhou Bai looked into the vastness.
Because it was in the stage of delivery, the spring seedlings had not yet been sown in the fields. There was not much scenery in the loess, but in Zhou Bai's eyes, a trace of white air gathered towards him.
The resources that belong to oneself can be transformed into luck, which is mostly external luck, but it can also nourish the natal life over time. This foundational external luck is the most solid one.
After a while, Zhou Bai withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the old man who had been waiting next to him: "You are always Wang Liangtian? A good name, no wonder he is a famous farming expert."
"Young master just calls me Lao Wang. I dare not say anything else, but farming is a craft that the master praises." Wang Liangtian rubbed his hands and said nervously.
Zhou Bai waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, you are recommended by Uncle Fu. I believe you. If you ask you to come, you will be entrusted to you. All three hundred acres will be given to you."
"Old Fu?" Wang Liangtian remembered that the old man had not followed a decisive young master, what's going on?
Zhou Bai ignored Wang Liangtian's doubts and threw out a wallet and said, "These twenty taels are for you, and you can buy cattle in the canal. I have obtained the permission of the patriarch. You can also open the beach in the stream. Every 100 acres of private land will be given to you."
"Being trusted by the young master, Lao Wang must give you a surprise in Xia Jiao." Wang Liangtian couldn't suppress his excitement. The younger generations of his family were worried about their work.
