Du Changshi walked over with the half-foot-high document in his arms. Huan Li quickly stood up and took it, smiling and saying, "Zhazi wants money again?"
"It is said that Northern Xinjiang is poor, but I think the poorest people are ranked second. The most powerful thing is the noses of these officials. This is so amazing. Before His Highness arrived in Northern Xinjiang, before he could take a breath, their money-seeking bastards looked like snowflakes.
Here we are." Du Changshi was complaining when he saw Huan Li looking towards the door, "Chen Tongzhi is here, it must be very windy outside."
Chen Jian was standing at the door arranging his crown. He took care of his golden crown and walked in. "The wind is so strong that it's scary."
Du Changshi stretched out his hand to help him support his crown, "What are you doing here so early?" If others asked this, it would be considered rude and overstepping. However, Du Changshi and Huan Li were close friends of Mu Anzhi, so Du Changshi could be regarded as a close friend of Mu Anzhi.
Foreigner, it's nothing for the two of them to ask.
Chen Jian took out the note from his sleeve and said, "The cost of repairing the two official schools in Xinyi, charcoal fire, pen and ink."
"They all come to His Highness to ask for money?" Du Changshi looked at it and said, "This should be your government's business."
"We have no money." Du Changshi rubbed his hands, and Huan Li brought two bowls of hot milk tea. The three of them drank milk tea while talking, "There are still 1,800 silver in the government office. This is to repair the government office in winter, and there are still
I have prepared money for the salaries of government servants. This money cannot be touched. The magistrate asked me to submit it to the pacifier. The pacifier also had difficulties, so he asked me to come to your highness." Chen Jian asked, "When will your highness be here?
If we can dial it down, luckily the scholars in the official school are all adults, but the students in the other small official school are all children, so what should we do if we keep the children in the cold?"
Du Changshi pointed to the half-foot-high zhazi on the Huanli case and said, "Since your highness came down, you have been asking for money and waiting for help. I advise you to think of another way if you are really urgent. There are hundreds of things that are more urgent than yours.
If you are approved, do you want others to be approved? If not, others will have to say that His Highness came to the imperial capital, leaving no room for discussion."
"Master Tang is from the imperial capital. Isn't Marquis Lu from the imperial capital?" Chen Jian corrected Du Changshi sternly, "It can be said that His Highness favors acquaintances."
"That doesn't make sense." Du Changshi took two sips of milk tea.
Chen Jianshi shook his head solemnly, "It's different. Mr. Du, please think, if His Highness approves my matter, I will immediately go out to publicize it. It is because I have a good relationship with His Highness that Your Highness approved me first. Those who want money, listen.
Having said that, why don’t you come over to establish relations with His Highness and please His Highness? Doesn’t His Highness already have a good idea of the big and small affairs in Northern Xinjiang?”
Du Changshi almost squirted the milk tea and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Even if I give you the top priority, it is unlikely that I will be approved now. Even though Your Highness has some money here, you can't help but use it. If you have money, you can use it wisely."
"We are also on the edge." Chen Jian felt that he was on the edge. He had just come to the government office, and if the magistrate gave him such a not difficult task, if he couldn't handle it, would he be able to meet people in the future? Chen Jian said
, "To tell you the truth, I also went to see the official school in person. Originally, there was only one official school in Xinyi City, and there were only thirteen talented people in it.
arrive."
Chen Jian pretended to be quiet, and Fang Lue said with a somewhat high-spirited look, "They are the children of various tribes who were friends with my magistrate when he was appointed as the county magistrate. They admire the culture in Guannei and specially send their children to study here. Because they are still young, the magistrate is
They were housed in another house in the Yamen."
At this point, Chen Jian suddenly had an idea. He went to retrieve his notes from the case, asked Huan Li to borrow a pen and paper, and wrote another note with a swipe of his pen. Chen Jian handed Du Changshi's hands with his hands and spoke earnestly.
"After Master Du's advice, Xiaguan Maocai suddenly became enlightened. Our Xinyi is different from Guannai in that the climate is cold and bitter and the place is remote. However, there are also students who are eager to learn. Now we study hard day and night in the official school in order to be named on the gold list in the future and serve the imperial court.
Serve to bring glory to His Highness. There is also our small official school, which contains princes and princesses from various tribes who are dedicated to learning. They left home to study, which is touching. Please submit it on your behalf. All of us in the official school are eagerly looking forward to His Highness's arrival.
Your Highness gives you guidance, and I look up to you for your brilliance."
The charcoal fire in the copper basin is crackling, and the ondol in the room is also hot. On the off-white window sill, the tender yellow narcissus in the sweet white porcelain flower cup reflects the graceful stretch of the sky blue window pane, and the sweet floral fragrance and
Mixed with milk tea and fragrant tea... Du Changshi suddenly gave Chen Jian numbness goosebumps all over his body. Du Changshi said in his heart, it's strange that you can win the first prize, but you can't even say it with such disgusting words.
Huan Li had a smile in his eyes, and Du Changshi glanced helplessly at Chen Jian, "I know, I know, you will be the first to hand this over."
Chen Jian smiled and bowed his head, "Thank you, sir. I will not disturb you, sir, and I will take my leave."
"You are truly a first-class talent in our inner library." Du Changshi sighed, "I'm not even old yet, and you guys are just pushing the waves ahead."
"From what my senior brother said, you were already well-known in our inner library when I entered the school." Du Changshi said a little, and Chen Jian immediately heard Xiange and knew what he meant and boarded his senior brother's boat.
"Aren't you laughing at me?" Du Changshi didn't realize that he had a good reputation when he was studying. The gentlemen who taught reading often shook their heads when they saw him.
"That's not the case. Every time there is someone who breaks out in our class, the teacher will give the senior brother as an example and say, 'It doesn't matter whether you do your homework or not. When I ask you, you must have Du Zirui's ability to speak clearly. No one else has this ability."
If you dare to imitate others and not do your homework, I think you are crazy." Chen Jian said.
Du Changshi was overjoyed, Erlang shook his legs, opened the folding fan with a snap and shook it, "So the gentlemen think so highly of me. Come on, tell me what you have praised me for, and learn from me."
Chen Jian really couldn't bear the way Senior Brother Du fanned himself in the middle of winter, so he finally couldn't stand it any longer and laughed, "This sentence is not enough."
"I just praised you for being smart, but why are you stupid again? Now I'm giving you a chance to flatter you."
Chen Jian felt that her face was really inferior compared to that of Senior Brother Du. If she tried to flatter Senior Brother Du again, she would really be a flatterer. Chen Jian returned to her previous pure and pure face, "I, I am upright by nature."
Du Changshi teased Chen Jian for a while, and when Mu Anzhi came over, Chen Jian's papers were placed in the middle for him. Just when Mu Anzhi was tired of looking at the papers asking for money, he suddenly saw Chen Jian's picture, and his ears and eyes suddenly became clear.
, feeling comfortable all over, he stretched and said, "Finally, there is a sensible person."
Then, he glanced at the official seal in the lower right corner and raised his eyebrows slightly, "According to the rules of the officialdom, even if you invite me to visit the official school, it should also be to appease the envoy's yamen. The post on the prefect's yamen, how can it be the post of Chen Tongzhi?" Mu Anzhi
I would rather visit the official school. However, Chen Tong knows that there is something wrong with the procedure in your handling of this matter. You are obviously acting out of bounds and are looking for a way to be punished by your superiors.
Huan Li told him what happened in the morning with a smile, "Chen Tongzhi came early. I have been asking for money these days. I told him that I wanted him to leave before the difficulties. He was really clever and immediately rewrote a handout letter.
Come up. As a colleague, he is in charge of official affairs. Besides, seeing how clever he is, Master Du and his subordinates didn't say anything."
I won't care about whether the procedures are correct. Mu Anzhixiao, you fellow students in the inner library, "Return these notes, let's go to the official school tomorrow and take a look."
Huan Li responded and sent someone to take the boy back to the prefect's Yamen.
At noon, a food box was delivered from the kitchen. The attendants opened it gently, and the rich aroma of the food inside spread. Beef and mutton are extremely abundant here in northern Xinjiang, and even horse meat is not uncommon. What is rare is that it is cooked with the mushrooms.
Yes, for example, some older people in Chinese history like to eat the soft and slippery mushrooms simmered in the broth. There are no fresh green leafy vegetables, but there are also easy-to-preserve radish, cabbage, and watery ones.
Tender bean sprouts and freshly ground water tofu. As soon as they arrived in Xinyi, their food was not as exquisite as it was in the imperial capital, but it was eighty or ninety percent better.
Mu Anzhi's meal was naturally the richest, but Du Changshi's and Hua Changshi's were only two dishes short. Du Changshi saw steamed taro as bright as snow, with a plate of light yellow white sugar on the side.
.
Du Changshi wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He caught a glimpse and asked, "This is rare. Where did the taro come from at this time?"
Xiao Fan, who came to deliver the big food box, said, "Mr. Bai sent it. He said that a merchant in Shazhou brought it here early and stored it in the cellar so that it can be eaten in the winter."
"If I didn't have a wife, I would go to Zhili to find a wife." Du Changshi sighed. The princess and Mr. Bai are both girls from Zhili.
Before he even finished speaking, Huan Lihua looked at him with wide eyes, meaning, when did you have a wife?
Mu Anzhi couldn't help but laugh, and Du Changshi said to them, "We haven't gotten married yet, but we already have someone in mind."
Huan Li asked, "I also said that you already have a wife. I haven't received a single post here. Are you planning to break up with me?" He asked again, "Who is it? From which family? I haven't heard you say that.
Ah." He asked Hua Changshi what was in his heart.
Mu Anzhi neatly folded the handkerchief and put it back into his sleeve, sat on Mu Anzhi's left side, and choked Huan Li, "I won't tell you!"
In order to prevent Huan Li from questioning him, Du Changshi changed the subject and said, "Your Highness is going to the official school tomorrow, so he must prepare the reward first."
Mu Anzhi took the silver chopsticks from Xiao Yi, waved his hand to signal Xiao Yi to eat, and said to Du Changshi, "Where is Lan San? Didn't he bring a lot of books? Xiao Du, go and ask him if he is willing."
Donate some to the academy. Also bring some of the new imperial books I brought. As many as there are in the official academy, gentlemen will each be given a set of the four treasures of the study, and each student will be given a copy of the pen and ink."
"Your Highness, you might as well bring Mr. Lan with you. I think he is a person who likes to study very much." Mr. Lan also has a few failed scholars who get along well with him. They belong to the kind of people who are not very talented and learn well, but who care about it every day.
, these people can't afford free food. When it came to official education, Du Changshi immediately found a good place for them.
Mu Anzhi's eyes revealed a smile, "Okay."
Chen Jian did not expect the palace to respond so quickly, so she couldn't help but secretly thought that it was strange for the Taoist priest to say that there was someone in the court who wanted to be an official. Our two senior brothers were in front of His Highness, and His Highness could see whether I could succeed in this matter.
However, Lan San also thought about it at this time. If His Highness is invited to visit the official school, Tang Anping Envoy can come forward, or Prefect Pei can come forward. He, a fellow intellectual, should not show up first.
Chen Jian handed back the reply letter from the palace, and first apologized to Pei Ruyu and explained the matter, "At that time, I also had an idea. Thinking that there are so many people asking for money now, I am afraid that if we hand over the affairs of the official school, no one else will be anxious.
It doesn’t matter to anyone else. I thought, let’s find another way and ask your highness to come and have a look. Your highness saw our difficulties and had to donate generously no matter what. I lost my etiquette for a moment and made the decision without authorization. Please forgive me.”
"Let me tell you, why did I ask you to ask for money instead of visiting the official school?" Pei Ruyu smiled, "Now that it's done, I'll forgive you." The implication is that it's okay if you make your own decisions. If it doesn't work,
I won't forgive you.
Chen Jian quickly thanked Mr. Pei, knowing that officials like Mr. Pei were rare in the officialdom. Pei Ruyu said, "Go to the Yamen of the Comforting Envoy in person and explain the matter clearly to Mr. Tang. Don't dodge Mr. Tang.
"
Chen Jian said, "I'll do it right away."
Pei Ruyu nodded.
Mr. Tang, didn't you almost get caught? He said to himself that since you came to Northern Xinjiang one by one, your brains are pretty good, but you don't understand the rules of officialdom at all when doing things, but everyone in the backstage is very tough, I don't have a big heart.
What else can be done with the sea-like connotation!
However, Mr. Tang looked at the respectful Chen Jian, and his smile returned to his face. He personally helped Chen Jian, who looked remorseful, and said with a smile, "It is a good thing to adapt to changes. I love smart young men like you the most in my life. I often listen to
When Ah Mo mentions you, you and Ah Mo are good friends, so they are just like my nephew. Sit down and talk."
Not only did he not say a word of blame, but he asked Chen Jian if he felt uncomfortable coming to Northern Xinjiang. How was everything in the magistrate's office now? Chen Jian was left to have tea and then go back to the official school to prepare for the arrival of the prince tomorrow. Chen Jian left to comfort him.
Shi Yamen really felt that Mr. Tang was really as good-tempered as Xiaobao said! Hey, my two evil brothers... didn't even give me a heads up...
Tang Yasuo sent Chen Jian away. He was quite satisfied with Chen Jian's respect. At least he did not ignore Shangguan just because of his family status. Well, since this guy is so good at asking for money, he will leave it to him if he wants money in the future.
He'll do it.
