Chapter 32 Discussion on Planting Flowers

Several staff members wearing silk clothes sat in front of Zhao Jiaren, listening calmly to a middle-aged man talking about Neo-Confucianism with Zhao Jiaren. Zhao Jiaren was also calm. He spent twenty years on these things and talked calmly.

The only person who seemed a little less calm was the middle-aged man. He was a Jinshi from Fuqing. He was naturally very knowledgeable. At this time, Ding You returned to his hometown. At the request of a group of villagers, he came to meet this young Jinshi who was so swearing. At this time, the two had been talking for half an hour, and the middle-aged man showed some regrets in his expression, "I only realized that I had spent a lot of time when I talked to Zhao County Wei."

His family knew his family affairs, and Zhao Jiaren knew very well that he had this knowledge not because he was a genius. He did not feel complacent or at a loss at all. Instead, he carefully looked at the Jinshi and guessed the thoughts of these wealthy foreigners. These people met Zhao Jiaren very formally and conducted a substantive exam in the name of asking for advice. This behavior made Zhao Jiaren a little interested.

"Zhao County Wei, we know that you are worried about planting chrysanthemums, but it is only a matter of two hundred acres of chrysanthemums. We think it's not a worry for Zhao County Wei." The headman named Yin spoke.

Zhao Jiaren was naturally happy in his heart. Cooperating with local snakes is the best way to reduce trouble. Zhao Jiaren is just an outsider in Fuqing County and a teenager, so local snakes really don’t like him.

"I wonder if you have something to ask me to serve you." Zhao Jiaren responded quickly. If the other party had no request, he would naturally not go through a lot of trouble to do this.

Yin Yuanwai, the leader, smiled slightly and continued, "Zhao County Wei, we heard from the county magistrate that the county guarantees to pay money and will never be owed. However, according to what Brother Ling said, whoever planted flowers can be hired to collect flowers when they are harvested. Since this arrangement is made, it seems that Brother Ling also knows that some people are unreliable in their work."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiaren already understood it a little. The matter of growing flowers is profitable. In addition to giving the money for planting flowers, Zhao Jiaren also bought flowers at the same price as a pound of rice. Of course, the profit after selling this kind of flower soared, but the locals in Fuqing didn't know. What they knew was that this was a big deal.

Of course, if this is the case, there is no way for a wealthy person to cooperate. They must have other requirements. Zhao Jiaren did not speak, but looked at the rich person in the lead quietly and waited for him to raise other requirements.

Yin Yuanwai continued: "There are some of our families in Fuqing who are slightly famous and are willing to share the amount of 100 acres. I wonder if Zhao County Wei can trust him?"

"Of course I can trust it." Zhao Jiaren replied. He only said this and quietly waited for the other party to reply.

"Zhao County Wei is indeed very well-educated." Yin Yuanwai praised, and then said: "We still have some children who study at home. I hope Zhao County Wei can teach them a few days later. I wonder if Zhao County Wei is willing."

After hearing this core request, Zhao Jiaren felt relieved. He had guessed this possibility just now. After confirming the other party's request, Zhao Jiaren asked with some concern: "There are so many things that the official wants?"

"Haha." Looking at Zhao Jiaren's serious expression, Yin Yuanwai laughed out loud, and the others also smiled. After laughing a few times, Yin Yuanwai nodded and said, "Justice Zhao, that's what we ask for."

After receiving a clear reply, Zhao Jiaren corrected his sitting posture on the chair, and then said seriously, "Everyone, my master once taught me Han Tuizhi's teacher, and said that the teacher is the reason why he preaches and learns the doubts. The boy's teacher, who teaches books and reads his sentences, is not what I call passing on his way and answering his confusion. I don't know the sentences, and the confused ones are not understood, or the teacher is not attentive, and I have not seen the truth when I am a junior high school student. Although I am admitted to the Jinshi, I am not in a deep way.

.I just know that there are too many things I don’t know. As for what I don’t know, I have never seen them, so I don’t know. You all hope that your children can pass the Jinshi, leapt into the dragon gate, and shine with the ancestors. If I teach you the children in my family, I just teach you books and learn the sentences. I can’t do anything to preach and learn about the doubts. I have a specialty in my skills, so please ask such a teacher to be better than me. Please think twice.”

"Is County Wei Wei worried about delaying the future of our children?" Lin Yuanwai, who was beside Mr. Yin, spoke.

Zhao Jiaren nodded vigorously, "I am very grateful for your willingness to help you. Since you are kind to me, I cannot ruin your affairs."

The middle-aged Jinshi originally looked at Zhao Jiaren with a scrutiny look. After hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and the scrutiny in his eyes became agreement.

Yin Yuanwai put away his smile, "We are relieved to be so serious about Zhao County Wei. We want to ask Zhao County Wei to give a lecture, but we just want our children to listen to Zhao County Wei's explanation. The feng shui of the Jinshi exam in Fuqing has not been smooth in recent years, so we also want to hear the teachings of teachers from other places. Zhao County Wei doesn't have to care about what our children think, just teach them."

These people's words are very sincere, and Zhao Jiaren can understand them. Everyone knows that today's officials are the ones who have given power to the throne of Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan strongly advocated Neo-Confucianism, and after the current officials ascended the throne, Neo-Confucianism flourished. Thirty years have passed, Neo-Confucianism began to suffer constant blows. The content of the previous professors could not achieve the previous results. These locals wanted to explore the latest scientific ideas and keep pace with the times.

Zhao Jiaren didn't care about taking some time to teach people. He could not refuse the conditions offered by these people. He didn't want to lose this opportunity. Zhao Jiaren asked cautiously: "I wonder which books do you want me to tell?"

The middle-aged Jinshi took over the conversation, "What is Zhao County Wei going to say?"

Zhao Jiaren immediately replied: "I am a resigned official and stay in the local area for at most two years. I have to have official duties every month, and I can give you a lecture for you only three days a month. There are only two books that I can teach in such a little time. Please choose two."

After the two sides agreed, the crowd said goodbye. Zhao Jiaren felt that his efforts to cooperate this time were actually quite big, and there was no problem with money. The problem was that he spent too much time.

Before Zhao Jiaren could take a breath, Zhao Yong, who was sending the guests, came in and reported, "Three Young Master, those farmers are waiting outside."

"Invite them in." Zhao Jiaren said intently. In the matter of planting flowers, three groups of people took the initiative. The rich family has reached the intention of gradually cooperating. What are the ideas of those farmers? Zhao Jiaren is mentally prepared for discussion.
