Ever since the eldest son of Prince Rui moved into the palace outside the city last year, Liu Fuyin of Pingjiang Prefecture had his heart in his throat.
After he passed the imperial examination, he went to the capital to wait for the examination, and when he became a Jinshi, he was sent to other places. He lived in the capital for thirteen or four years. He didn't know everything about the prince's style, but at least he knew something about it. He didn't even dare to expect to win the favor of the prince. He only hoped that nothing would happen to him, and that was to be blessed by the Bodhisattva.
The prince lived there for half a year, and it was peaceful and quiet. When the prince returned to the capital, Liu Fuyin put his mind down and brought it up again, this time just slightly, and he was almost as stable and calm as usual.
Alas, I didn’t expect that this disaster could not be avoided!
With a gray face and a frown on his face, Liu Fuyin walked straight to the hut of his confidant, Mr. Cao, with his hands behind his back.
"Why is Dong Weng here?" Mr. Cao was replying to an official document. When he saw Liu Fuyin raising the curtain and coming in, he hurriedly put down his pen.
"Something happened!" Liu Fuyin sat across from Mr. Cao and let out a long sigh.
"What happened?" Mr. Cao was startled.
"Just now, the stone rolled over." Liu Fuyin lowered his voice.
Mr. Cao's eyes widened.
It's the prince's business! Something really happened. Fortunately, the Palace Master didn't say it was a big deal. An accident is very different from a big deal!
"What did you say?" Mr. Cao stretched his head forward with a nervous look on his face.
"Complaining! I say that I have been passing through Kunshan County several times, and I am always annoyed. I say that the road is uneven, and that what I am looking at is nothing. I want to see sericulture, but even the silkworms are just black spots."
Mr. Cao coughed violently.
This is the time when silkworms are hatched, and the silkworms are just black spots!
"I have been preaching for more than a quarter of an hour, and the people's customs are not good. It's all Kunshan County's fault. Even the leaves are not good, they are not green enough!" Liu Fuyin said that it was not green enough, and he flexed his fingers on the table.
Knocked twice.
"Did you come here specifically to complain?" Mr. Cao asked breathlessly.
"It's said to be a convenient way, but this is a convenient way. Hey, what's wrong with him? Can he come to our government office?"
"Then, Master Shi Gunshi came here to complain on his own, or did he receive orders?" Mr. Cao asked next.
"He didn't say, well, if he came here alone and he dared to complain like this, he must have heard his eldest son complain more. Come here and give a message to the person who made his eldest son unhappy.
Move things and things away, firstly, to please their prince, and secondly, their prince will be happy, so it will be easier for him to serve as an errand."
Liu Fuyin didn't dare to think about Shi Gun coming over to complain. He wanted to tell him that he didn't have that kind of friendship with Shi Gun.
"What Dong Weng said is absolutely true!" Mr. Cao agreed, stroking his beard.
"If I receive the order..." Liu Fuyin looked at Mr. Cao and did not say anything else.
"If Mr. Shi came here with orders, then he is not here to complain, but to give orders!" Mr. Cao looked horrified.
"No!" Liu Fuyin slammed the table.
"Why did Kunshan County offend the prince? Magistrate Huang is a kind person, thoughtful and flexible, because of that Xiao Ni'er? That Xiao Ni'er's family is from Kunshan County, but Xiao Ni'er has lived here for a long time
Pingjiang City." Mr. Cao frowned, confused.
"Oh, I have been worried about Kunshan County, especially after the prince fell in love with that little girl!" Liu Fuyin sighed.
Mr. Cao raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled.
"Huang Xianzhou, alas!" Liu Fuyin shook his head and sighed, "He is a Jinshi of Renzike, and I am a Jinshi of Yimao. The first time I met him was at a literary meeting, where two or three Jinshi of the new science were invited. Among them
Among them, he is the kindest to others and gives me the most guidance.
"Later, he chose to work in the household department. I went to ask him for help two or three times, and he was always very good. As you said, he was considerate, considerate, and adaptable. I thought at the time that he would rise to the top, and maybe there would be more.
Enter the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister.
"The year I passed the exam, he appointed Qingchi County Magistrate. Qingchi is a large county. I thought this might be a reuse. The prime minister must start from a prefecture county, right. Later he was transferred to Shen County and then to Shen County.
Kunshan County.
"When he first arrived in Kunshan County, he received documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I tossed and turned all night long. I felt deeply regretful. Later!"
Liu Fuyin let out a long sigh.
"After meeting him, I knew why he went all the way down!"
"Why?" Mr. Cao listened with interest.
"He can go up or down! When he returned to the government office for the first time, I treated him as I did in the capital. Who knew that he was so arrogant and awkward in everything, and every word he said made me feel tight in the chest and short of breath."
"Uh!" Mr. Cao raised his eyebrows and stared in surprise.
"Later I wrote to several people in the same year who knew him, saying that he was arrogant and resentful about his talent. He must have felt that I was not worthy of being his top student. He got sixth in the second-level exam, and I finished last in the second-level.
If you don't like me, I want to come~"
Liu Fuyin trailed off and curled his lips.
"Only the top five in the first and second classes are worthy of being his top, and no one else is worthy. Probably, he doesn't look down on the prince either."
"Oh, why is he such a person!" Mr. Cao slapped the table with a look of regret.
"He brought it upon himself!" Liu Fuyin snorted and sighed, "He also caused us trouble. Tell me, what should we do?"
"Dong Weng has good luck. Take a look at this, Dong Weng. It was delivered yesterday." Mr. Cao stood up, took out a document from a pile of official documents to be processed, and handed it to Liu Fuyin.
This is an official document from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. On the envelope is a reply from the Shuaisi Xiansi Division of Liangzhe Road Cao Division.
Liu Fuyin opened it, scanned it all at a glance, and said in surprise: "He was sent to our Pingjiang Mansion?"
This is a routine official job. Every one or two years, the Ministry of Household Affairs sends a letter to Liangzhe Road, asking Liangzhe Road to select an official to go to the Linhai Town Sea Taxation Department to verify the incoming and outgoing goods.
For this job, the three families, Shuaisi, Caosi and Xiansi, have always taken turns selecting subordinate officials. They stayed in Linhai Town for a year or two and were assigned to different places. This was the first time.
"Why are they sent to the place? This has never happened before!" Liu Fuyin patted the official document.
"Mr. Zhao wrote a letter to me and told me about this. He said that the whole city of Hangzhou is suffering from the tireless teachings of Wei Xuezheng. It is more than twice as busy as before and there is really no manpower available." Mr. Cao said in a suppressed voice. Mr. Cao's fellow countryman Mr. Zhao is a staff member of the Caosi Mansion, and the two have a close relationship.
Hearing the sentence "Teaching people tirelessly", Liu Fuyin laughed out loud, and then sighed with a distressed look on his face.
Since the talented scholar from Wei University came to Liangzhe Road, the number of teaching instructions, students' homework, and the number of exams in various prefectures and counties has increased several times.
Not to mention this, Wei Da Zheng also said that knowledge is a lifelong thing, and he sent several new books every now and then, and sent an article to the officials of the two Zhejiang roads starting from the commander-in-chief, asking everyone to learn from it.
Officials in Hangzhou are often gathered together by him for literary meetings. These literary meetings are really about giving lectures and discussing knowledge without any adulteration.
Alas, he still has one article to write.
"How can we have anyone to spare?" Liu Fuyin thought about his schoolwork, then looked at the official document with a troubled look on his face.
"Dong Weng!" Mr. Cao tapped his fingers on the table.
"You mean, Huang Xianzhou?" Liu Fuyin immediately understood, "Is this too much? He is the magistrate of a county."
"This is also for his own good." Mr. Cao sighed.
Liu Fuyin was stunned for a moment and let out a long sigh.
