Bai Gui's tense mind relaxed. Xu Xiucai must have known that Zhou Yuan could sleep here openly. The officials who discussed the matter did not say that they all knew, but some people definitely knew about it.
At this time, it seems that every village is full of stars. But in fact, the girls from your village who marry our village, and the girls from our village who marry your village, are fellow villagers who have broken bones and even tendons.
If you report this kind of information to the security chief, you may get the informant beaten to death.
These days, the township party is the most reliable.
For example, the great poet Zhang Zongchang, the governor of Lu Province who created "Da Ming Lake, Ming Lake is big, there are toads in Daming Lake, they jump when they poke." He harmed the people everywhere, but he was really good to his fellow villagers in Ye County.
There is a folk saying, "If you can speak Yexian dialect, you can carry a saber (company commander)", "As long as you are from the Zhu family (Zhang Zongchang's origin), you will be an official."
We attach great importance to community friendship.
During the Beiyang period, Cai Yuanpei, who was in charge of the affairs of the Director-General of Education, was from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. After becoming the Director-General of Education, Cai Yuanpei appointed Mr. Lu Xun, who was also a Shaoxing native, as the Chief of the First Section of the Education Department. You must know that Mr. Lu Xun at that time did not say that he was lonely.
Unknown, but not very well-known. He has just published his first classical Chinese novel "Nostalgia". His real fame came after publishing "Diary of a Madman"...
Therefore, after explaining Zhou Yuan's story, Bai Gui chose to believe it.
"It's you who might be the informer!"
After all, Zhou Yuan is a young man. Even though he matures a little earlier, he still has the habit of being a young man. When his friends suspect him, he immediately retorts.
Bai Gui did not engage in such a meaningless argument, curled his lips, and sat on his own desk and stool.
"Hey, tell me, what does this wolf look like? How is it different from a dog?"
After Zhou Yuan put the table back, he warmed the book for a while, and then he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's similar to a dog, and looks more ferocious than a dog. A dog's fur comes in various colors, but a wolf only has gray fur with a lot of down. Remember, never look back when you meet a wolf..."
Bai Gui thought of the wolf's habits. He was fine in the village and Zhou Yuan was a day student, so he said: "If you turn around, the wolf will jump over from behind and bite people's throats."
Zhou Yuan was startled and patted his chest.
He decided to wait until the wolf plague was completely eliminated before returning to Pangjia Village. Since his family was rich, at worst, he could just ask his servants to bring food and stay in the school temporarily.
After continuing to chat for a few words, the two stopped talking about sex.
The purpose of getting up early in the morning is to study, not to chat. Both of them are people who can study hard.
Soon, the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard in the west building.
The sound of reading reached the official room to the east where the business was being discussed.
Bai Jiaxuan, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Xu Xiucai. He did not dare to accept the question. If he repaired the fort or not, and punished the chief culprit, what would happen to the lives of the seven or eight members of his Bai family.
"Mr. Xu, you have read books, please give us some advice."
"Whatever happens, we are responsible for it. It has nothing to do with you, sir."
Bai Jiaxuan said.
He is a man of justice and benevolence. A few years ago, the widow of the Li family sold the land at both ends. First, she sold the land to Lu Zilin, taking eight taels of silver and five buckets of wheat. Later, when she saw the gambler's son selling the land to Bai Jiaxuan, the price was even higher.
Gao, then sold the land to Bai Jiaxuan, which caused Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin to fight. Later, Bai Jiaxuan took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Zilin and made peace. He also gave money and did not want the widow of the Li family's land, but instead helped the widow of the Li family a lot...
He also took the lead in renovating the dilapidated ancestral hall and allowing the son of Changgong's family to go to school...
One by one, Bai Jiaxuan, the patriarch of Bailu Village, is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. The things he said and the promises he made were nailed down every time he spoke.
Mr. Xu did not doubt that he was there. He nodded slightly, his eyes were filled with blood-red silk. He took a deep breath, patted the dust on the skirt of his gown, stood up, and said, "Well, there is a way."
!”
"You don't have to worry about the government looking for trouble, and you can also relieve your temporary urgency so that the wolves on the plain cannot invade Bailu Village."
He speaks in a deep voice, with a strong Qin tone mixed with Mandarin, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts but also has the alienation of a scholar, giving people great confidence.
"Master Xiu Cai is the Wen Quxing who came down to earth, so the method he said will definitely work!"
The people sitting around agreed.
Scholars are only one in a thousand literary stars, and it only takes several villages to produce one. Some villages are unlucky, and no one has been able to become a scholar for generations.
Scholars do not need to collect corvee.
He is a figure from the countryside,
Even if he is down and out, when he is sitting at weddings and weddings, he still ranks above the rich man's family.
With his status as a scholar, all the villagers in the meeting room gave Xu Xiucai great respect and admiration.
"Have you ever read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I have heard from those commentators in the city that in the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao's army attacked Jin Machao in Xiliang, the Battle of Tongguan was on the Wei River, and the weather was freezing. Cao Cao used the tactics of counselor Lou Gui.
The strategy is to use sand to build a camp, then pour water on it, and the sand city becomes a solid ice city..."
Xu Xiucai spoke slowly, trying to speak in a concise and concise way.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the favorite of storytelling. People in the streets and alleys like to listen to Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Mahuang, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei. Almost everyone knows that Guan Gong is the God of Wu and Wealth, and countless people worship him.
.
The Wei River is the mother river of Guanzhong.
People who tell storytelling are also accustomed to telling stories that happened in the local area when telling storytelling, so as to be more popular.
Therefore, almost everyone of old age knows this story. Regardless of whether they have read the book or not, they all know that Cao Cao built the Ice City.
"This is a good idea! Build an ice city. The fort is built with ice. When the weather warms up, the ice will melt. Even if we don't build the fort, the government can't do anything about it. When spring returns, the wolves will go back to the mountains.
…”
Bai Jiaxuan slapped the table and made a plan.
"Um, let's recruit people to collect the sand nearby." Bai Jiaxuan said as he walked, his movements vigorous and resolute.
"Clan Chief Bai, wait a moment!"
Xu Xiucai stopped Bai Jiaxuan and said, "It's so cold today. Where can there be sand in every corner? The places with sand are all along the river. Cao Cao used local materials by the Wei River. The water we have here is from the original source."
, it’s not easy to get.”
"Then... what should we do, sir?"
Bai Jiaxuan was a little helpless and was stunned.
"Look at you, use a straw mat!" Xu Xiucai coughed and said the plan: "Every household in our house has straw mats, and there are straw mats under the mattresses on the kang, so that every household can have a straw mat.
Just put up straw mats and block the gaps in the fort with straw mats, and then fill them with water. Isn't this easier than river sand?"
"But Chief Bai, in addition to collecting, you have to give money to buy the missing straw mats. Give more money. It's not easy for everyone these days. Don't destroy the harmony of the neighborhood." Xu Xiucai seemed to have thought of something.
, said quietly.
"A few mats, what's the big deal!"
"The money is extra."
Bai Jiaxuan waved his hand and left the meeting room with quick strides, preparing to let the villagers collect straw mats from each household.
