After writing up the strategy overnight, Wang Xu sent Yuan Bao back to the capital.
Wanmin's congratulatory speech is just a trick, but Wansou's banquet is the trump card. As long as the teacher can use this trick, he can at least remain undefeated.
Don’t you see, Confucianism was played in the prosperous times of Kangxi and Qianlong, and it was even better than that of one’s own father.
Why, the two of them pay attention to filial piety and are in line with the mainstream thoughts of Confucianism, so some people flatter them and cater to them.
Respecting the elderly and respecting the elderly is the political correctness of Confucianism. As for whether the current emperor is happy or worried when he sees the gentry and elders from Kyushu gathered in the capital, that is not Wang Xu's concern.
Thinking about it, the one on the dragon throne would not be too happy. After being abolished through the New Deal, that person was extremely afraid of the power of the noble clan.
However, he is not an incompetent emperor who cannot keep his eyes out of sight, but a wise king with passion and ambition who wants to benefit the people.
In this era where wealthy families are stinking of wine and meat, and roads are frozen to death, it is easy for a foolish king to do something, but it is difficult for a wise king to do anything. The power of the nobles has spread like a tumor to the whole dynasty, and it cannot be cut away at will.
After the letter was sent out, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the letter written to his hometown.
If Xue Mushan does not fall, the Wang family will not fall. The Wan family's wishful thinking will definitely not succeed, and the food supply can be delayed further.
You must know that food is no small matter. Whether it is corn or sweet potatoes, they are super crops with high yield and drought and disaster resistance.
The same land can feed 100 people by growing corn, 200 by growing corn, and 300 by growing sweet potatoes.
Judging from the current population of Kyushu, once corn and potatoes are vigorously promoted, in just three years, not only will the world have enough food and clothing, but at least the number of people who will starve to death will be reduced by a hundred times.
Did you not see that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population of China exceeded 400 million, which was more than the peak population of the Song and Ming dynasties combined.
Before the Ming Dynasty, China's population had never exceeded 100 million, and reaching 50 to 60 million was already very good. From the end of the Ming Dynasty, it grew like crazy, reaching 450 million in the late Qing Dynasty. It was precisely because at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, The introduction of corn and sweet potatoes to China provided convenience for the population explosion.
Now, Wang Xu is not even a civil servant, so just taking out the two kings of corn and sweet potatoes will not allow him to maximize his interests.
For things like corn and sweet potatoes, at least he has to wait until he has the reputation of a great scholar to be able to keep the fruits of victory. Without that status, he can only make wedding dresses for others.
Just like playing cards, the person who plays the king bomb at the first opportunity will most likely not win.
Wang Xu wanted stability. As long as his policy of accumulating food and delaying the kingship was not shaken, he would be sure of this little white rabbit.
One day, when the deal is done and there is no need to pretend to be a little white rabbit, he will kill all the big bad wolves and let these people know who has the last laugh.
"Don't be in a hurry, work slowly and steadily. This year Enke will be a candidate for examination first, and then he will be a Jinshi in next year's examination. Within ten years, it is not that there is no hope for a great scholar, that's when he will emerge."
Wang Xu picked up the letter from home and lit it with the candle that was about to burn out. The big killer of food was once again sealed up by him.
Cuckoo!!
The sky is getting brighter outside, the morning rooster is crowing, and it's a new day.
Wang Xu stretched his muscles and became a child and gained fame, and received the Wenqi Initiation, which made him far more energetic than ordinary people.
Although he is not as good as Buddhist and Taoist monks, he is not like ordinary people who have red eyes after staying up all night.
After moving around in the room, Wang Xu washed his face and did not intend to sleep again.
When he came back last night, the embroiderer said something to him. It seemed that the boat painting matter had been settled.
He was anxious at the time and didn't ask in detail. He couldn't put off the boat painting any longer. The sooner he implemented the plan, the sooner he would gain fame.
Reading, scientific examinations, and fame are all indispensable.
Now that the teacher's matter has been settled for the time being, the matter of gaining fame can no longer be postponed. He will be of great use to the embroiderer and the boat painter.
Crunch!!
Opening the door and walking downstairs, you will see the first floor full of spring scenery.
Looking up, I saw tables clustered together. A girl named Luoli, a young girl, and a royal sister were curled up on the tables and sleeping soundly.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces, Wang Xu frowned slightly. What was Xiu Niang doing last night? Why didn't she get a room for these little sisters?
Sleeping in the hall doesn't matter. It's because he is short of a few taels of money to pay for the hotel, or the embroiderer is too short-sighted to even pay for the hotel.
dong dong dong
Hearing the footsteps coming downstairs, the little sisters who were sleeping lightly woke up for the most part.
The remaining stupid luoli who were still sleeping were also pushed awake by their older sisters. They looked up with sleepy eyes, which was so cute to the core.
"I've met the young master."
In front of the master, the girls who had been strictly trained did not dare to forget the rules. One by one, they quickly climbed down from the table and bowed their heads to Wang Xu to say hello.
Wang Xu nodded calmly and asked, "Why do you live here? Did Xiu Niang not prepare a room for you?"
"No, young master, we want to save young master some money. This place is already very good, and we are very satisfied."
"Yes, young master, I used to sleep on the boat, and I had to be called at any time at night. No one dared to sleep deeply. This was the best night's sleep I had after being sold."
The little girls were chattering away, and all of them looked very happy.
They are all skinny horses below the second class in the painting boat. If Wang Xu does not appear, their future fate will either be sold to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, or they will work as maids for the first and second class oirans, and they will learn all the skills.
The ability to serve people.
How to serve others? The master must wake up at night. Snoozing is not an option.
Therefore, in the second half of the night, there are often old ladies who come to watch the night. If someone's name is called and they can't wake up, they raise their hands and get a bucket of cold water, so they don't dare to sleep soundly.
Today, the sleeping place was a bit poor, but I was able to sleep peacefully and peacefully. I haven't felt this kind of relaxation in a long time.
"What a miserable person!"
Hearing the answers from the little girls and looking at the slightly tender faces, even Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh.
The world is really unfair. With the same beauty, some people are young ladies, while others have to be maids.
Among the little sisters present, the older one is sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one is around thirteen or fourteen. I really don’t know how the parents of these people could be so cruel as to sell them to a racecourse.
"What's your name and what talents do you have?"
While everyone is awake, Wang Xu, the master, is also interested in getting to know everyone.
The person he named was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. After hearing the call, she mustered up her courage and said, "My maid, Caiying, I can play the flute."
"It's good to play the flute. Let me see how you play it."
As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Caiying's face turned red instantly. She looked at the little sisters around her and her face was so red that water dripped from her face.
But even so, Caiying still gritted her teeth and walked towards Wang Xu step by step, reaching out to untie his belt.
"What?" Wang Xu took a step back and held Caiying's hand.
At least there are hundreds of people here. If you take off his pants when you come up, isn't this a hooliganism?
"Slave, this slave wants to perform the flute"
Caiying blushed and did not dare to look into Wang Xu's eyes.
Wang Xulu was stunned for a moment, looking at the little luoli around him, who were curious, shy, and eager to refuse, and was dumbfounded: "Is this the flute you play?"
"Nujia, Nujia is relatively stupid, even after learning for a long time"
Caiying's face was so red that she could shed tears, and she played with the corner of her clothes: "I still only know how to play this, and I haven't learned anything else."
