Chapter 27 Fighting tiger brothers

Although Samurai Leng is of high rank, he is very enthusiastic towards Wu Huaiyu and his family.

At noon, there was a banquet of deer, which was very sumptuous.

Even though Lao Wu looks like an old farmer in his clothes, Samurai Leng has two hobbies: one is good food and never tires of food, and the other is beauty and taking concubines every year.

The chefs in Xuancheng Palace are very famous, with a complete team and superb cooking skills.

Three-bao roasted deer whip, wild chrysanthemum and wolfberry deer whip flowers, dried deer waist with mushrooms, ringed abalone and deer heart, deer blood black rice, money buckle deer lips, sauce-roasted deer tongue, emerald deer brain, tangerine peel deer willow, apricot-flavored deer steak, crispy venison

, ginseng and venison soup, ginseng braised venison, golden venison, smoked bamboo shoots and venison stew, roasted deer tendons, chicken and deer in spring, crispy venison cup...

A deer made eighteen dishes in a blink of an eye.

Not only does the name sound nice, but it also tastes delicious and delicious when served. If you try a piece, you can’t help but praise it.

The dishes cooked by the Wu family chef are not inferior to the palace dishes of the Yongkang Palace.

Dad is usually the most frugal and stingy. As an officer and a landowner, he is extremely frugal. Usually when others drop rice on the table, he will pick it up and eat it. But he will never eat meat if it is not the New Year or the festival. Today, this is all deer.

At the banquet, while the father was saying that the clan leader had spent a lot of money, he put out the knives, forks and chopsticks and waved them around like a dance, without any politeness.

The third child, Huai Liang, is only seven years old and still has two horns on his head. Usually his father takes special care of this young bastard, but he only asks the family to boil an egg for him every morning, and he doesn’t get anything else.

Good stuff, only two meals a day.

Although he now owns a hundred acres of land, it is still in his family's name. In his own hands are the ten pieces of money given to him by Cheng Chumo, the three hundred bolts of silk given by Zhang Chuchen, and Runniang's dowry. He must not touch it.

The way Samurai Leng eats is not very suitable for his status as Xuancheng Gong and Sinong Shaoqing. He loves good food, but when he eats, he is really no different from Samurai Ke, a country landowner. He eats in large portions without restraint.

He even chirped.

Wu Junya also had several sons from concubines who were much older than his eldest son. They were either serving as three guards in the Wei Mansion or doing marriages in the Prince's Mansion, but they only focused on the venison in front of them or the beautiful maids in the Yongkang Mansion.

Dad said: "This kid is used to being wild, and only Lijiazhuang has a school in Qinghe Township. Otherwise, he has to go to Sanyuan County, which is further away, to study. Moreover, in the countryside, the teacher who teaches doesn't have any college knowledge, so he keeps letting him go.

His mother is enlightening him."

Of course, it is more likely that the Wu family has a better family tradition and is more restrained towards its children.

Some well-established families in many big families even donate to it every year. Some even run family charity warehouses, where they donate grain and money. The grain stored in the clan's charity warehouse is used not only for disaster preparedness and famine relief, but also for on-time delivery.

Distribute relief to the orphans, the elderly, the weak and the disabled.

After hearing this, Samurai Leng laughed loudly and praised: "This is a good suggestion from Erlang. I think Erlang will go to the clan school more often when he has time in the future. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished. If there are no rules, there will be no rule. If you want to study, you must study."

Make a show."

But if we can really do this, we can indeed teach the children of the clan better.

His many children and grandchildren are enough to form a military force. They are also very family-style and their food is very bold.

A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three helpers. If you want to do big things, you need more help.

However, Huaiyu also discovered that although these children of the Wu family were not as smart and studious as Wu Xixuan, they were not that kind of playboys. This may be related to the fact that the Wu family used to be a local poor family and had not been in Beijing for a long time.

I'm still young and don't understand etiquette, so I just ate hard.

A year and a half salary is exactly thirty-five dan. If you donate for one year at a time, it is calculated as the rental income of five or six dou per mu. Now you have donated sixty or seventy acres of land, and you still have to grit your teeth and invest some money.

of.

Samurai Leng laughed, "Huaiyi Huaiyu, you are still young and not yet married, so just donate ten shi of millet together. When you become rich in the future, you can donate more if you want."

Huaiyu saw that he ate very generously and had a great appetite. He didn't care about the blue low-level official robe he was wearing. He was so excited about eating that he directly raised his sleeves to wipe his mouth.

The cohesion of such a family is very strong, because the family can protect the interests of the clan members.

Although Longqiao Fort has fifty households of forbidden soldiers and dozens of civilian households, totaling more than a hundred people, it does not have a social school of its own.

Many large families will purchase such properties, such as ancestral graves, family buildings, graveyards, and school fields. This is not only a guarantee and relief for the poor in the family, but also a future guarantee for the family and a chance for a comeback.

On the other hand, his eldest son, Wu Xixuan, who is the fifth among his brothers and the twenty-third in his family, is only fourteen this year, but he is the most polite when he is sitting there, and he can even greet the fourth master Huaiyu from time to time on his father's behalf.

He is an extraordinary person and very polite.

Samurai Leng is particularly fond of the two dishes of Sanbao Roasted Deer Pencil and Wild Chrysanthemum, Wolfberry and Deer Pencil Flowers, and almost everyone makes them.

Huaiyu inquired, it turned out that this boy was a student at the Xiuwen Museum set up by Menxia Province, and it was said that he was quite good at reading. Compared with his dozens of classmates who were descendants of royal families, princes and prime ministers, he was much better.

The bachelors all praised him highly.

"Chief, I very much agree with the establishment of an ethnic school. It is difficult to advance in social studies in rural areas, and the teaching quality is uneven. It is better for us to run an ethnic school ourselves. However, if an ethnic school is to be run, it must be run well. It is best to be strict with the school.

, it is suggested that it is best to implement a boarding system with ten days off, nine days off and one day off every ten days, or eight days off and two days off, divided into classes, and boarding is closed. Only one or two days at the end of ten days and the long winter and summer vacations can be taken home.

, usually food and accommodation must be in the clan school, and you are not allowed to leave the school.

Huaiyi also expressed his position beside him, "I will donate fifteen shi of millet."

When Wu Xixuan heard this, he looked up at Huaiyu and admired him more and more. This move was a bit cruel. He had also studied for many years, from the academy to the Imperial College and then to the Xiuwen Museum, but he was not as strict as Huaiyu's rules.

.

The school in Lijiazhuang is the ancestral school of the Li family. The Li family has set aside fields for the school's food expenses, etc. It mainly recruits children of the Li clan and relatives. It is not easy for people from surrounding villages to enter and study, and the number of places is limited.

A gust of wind blew away the remaining clouds, and the entire deer feast was completely wiped out.

"We have a lot of Sanfang Wu clan in Bingzhou who have settled down in Guanzhong. Some are in Chang'an and some are in the suburbs of Gyeonggi. Many of them are in the seven counties of Weibei. Shiro also talked to me before, saying that there are many people from Guanzhong now, young and old.

There are many disciples, but because they are scattered, the control is not as strict as before in Bingzhou. Many disciples have either forgotten to study or have learned badly. What happened after a long time?"

After dinner, Huaiyu proposed to go to the warrior Xun's house to visit his aunt and cousins.

When the warrior Leng got down to business, he planned to set up a clan school of the Wu clan in Chang'an. This was proposed by the warrior Xun first. After the clan school was opened, well-educated people would be invited to teach the younger members of the clan. In addition, close relatives of the Wu clan could also be invited.

Come to study.

"When the clan school is started, if you brothers have free time, you can often go to the clan school to help out. You can also teach the subordinates how to ride and shoot, or how to bandage and first aid."

In terms of status, Wu Xixuan had the lowest family background among the group of students. He originally studied in the Imperial College, but because of his extremely good grades, he was specially recruited to study with the children of the royal family, princes, and prime ministers.

It was the warrior Xun who proposed the establishment of a clan school, and the warrior Leng also supported it very much. Now that the warrior Xun is in Yangzhou, he, the clan leader, takes the lead in handling this matter.

The Origin of Qi Ti collects many classic chapters from the Taoist Canon and other Taoist original texts, with intuitive image drawings and precise and practical annotations. It is a collection of the veteran Taoist who traveled around for a lifetime, and they are all his real physical and mental experiences. Huaiyu followed

It can be said that I have gained a lot from completing this book.

The father, who has always been stingy, unexpectedly said, "This is a good thing, I will donate it too." He generously expressed his willingness to donate some food, "I will donate thirty-five shi of food."

The students in this library are not just students. Like the three guards, they also belong to a special kind of sect. After studying for a few years, the students in the library can directly participate in the official selection and obtain the casual rank.

If you are elected as a candidate, you can directly become an official.

He is currently a ninth-grade military attache and earns thirty dan per year, which is half a year's donation.

He looked at Huai Liang, who was still chewing deer steak, and said, "I heard that Huai Liang has not yet entered social school at the age of seven?"

It is best for clan schools to hire some servants to do chores and take care of young students. In addition, all students are not allowed to bring their own servants, bookboys, etc. to the school. It is necessary to cultivate the independent character of clan schools. Students must first learn to be self-reliant before they can become self-reliant...

····”

Wu Xixuan was dressed in a long gown, elegant and elegant, and he was also very particular about what he ate. He was very interested in Huaiyu, asking questions, and even discussed Taoism with Huaiyu. Fortunately, Huaiyu was not idle for five years in Zhongnanshan.

, although halfway up the mountain, Ben also went to university and graduated with a degree in management. He studied hard with Lao Dao in the mountain for five years.

Drawing pictures.

Huaiyu agreed with a smile. He felt that it would be of great benefit to get closer to the clan. In this era, blood ties are strong and family values ​​are deep. Even if one person commits a crime, his family will be implicated. When things are done, his family members are the most important.

reliable.

These donated lands, money, silks, houses, etc., belong exclusively to the clan. Historically, the imperial government has regarded properties of this nature as righteous property. Even if there is a crime in the future, such as a samurai Yu or a samurai Leng who are convicted and have their homes confiscated, etc.

, the properties they donated will not be affected, even if the entire family is implicated in the crime, the ancestral graves, the family ancestral fields, etc. will not be affected.

Although Wu Xixuan is smart, he is only fourteen after all, and his understanding of Taoism is not as good as Huaiyu's. After a conversation, he admired Wu Huaiyu's clan uncle very much, and changed his name to officially uncle. Although the boy just now was very polite, he was just

His name is Erlang.

"Now that the world is unified and peace is restored, although the imperial court attaches great importance to military merit, it will definitely pay more attention to civil governance in the future. Our martial arts family has meritorious service from the dragon, but there are not many younger generations of the family who are successful. Now we have to hurry up. Only the younger generations of the family will succeed.

Only if they can produce talents and build up the lintel of the clan can the family prosper for a long time."

Samurai Leng finally decided to accept 20 shi of millet from Samurai Ke and 10 shi of millet from Huaiyi and Huaiyu brothers, all of which were deposited into the clan school warehouse account and used exclusively for clan school expenses.

It's really easy to do this. The four brothers took the lead and each donated a hundred acres of land for the clan school. They also donated a yard, some tables, chairs, money, and furniture, and then they could hire a gentleman to teach.

The cost of a social school is not small, and most villagers, like their father, are reluctant to study.

It feels like it doesn’t match this exquisite food.

"I'll donate fifty bolts of silk." According to the current price of food, fifty bolts of silk are actually worth five shi of rice, but he doesn't have much capital on hand, so he still has to save it to start a business.

As a seventh-grade brigade commander, Lao Wu's annual salary is seventy shi, but his rank is not enough for fifth-grade, so he can only enjoy half the salary for four years. After four years, there will be no retirement salary.

The resources of the Wu family are quite good. Taking advantage of the opportunity of family studies, we should get closer to the family. The three branches of the Wu family in Bingzhou are all Wu family members.

If you can study in Xiuwen Hall and your grades are so good, if you take the civil service route in the future, your future will definitely be much better than that of the children of the Wu family who serve as guards in the third guard.

The samurai knew that his concubine was also educated, so he simply asked Wang to teach the third child to become enlightened. Even Huaiyi and others also learned from him before.

"This won't work. You can't do anything if you don't study. Our Wu family must hurry up and set up an ethnic school. The school will start after autumn. Then we will send Sanlang to Chang'an. I have a few acres of yard in Nancheng. I will donate it for ethnic studies after cleaning it up. .”
