"This is indeed inappropriate." Ruan Yuan said to Yang Jin without thinking, "The emperor seems to be dismissive of such scholars among the people and doesn't know much about them. But if you are always called a new boy, then what will happen to the scholars in other places in the future?"

What will they think when they see it? As soon as they see it is a new boy, they know that they are from your Miao village. Although you and other Miao villagers also have the desire to learn, after all, their foundation is still shallow, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it for a while.

Compared with students in other prefectures and counties, over time, other scholars will only feel contempt for new children when they see them, thinking that all new children are not knowledgeable enough and are Miao people. This is how they treat your junior students.

Studying abroad is not a good thing. How about...you wait and treat everyone equally, and I also tell the emperor that you will be dismissed as a new boy. From now on, you will be like other scholars. You only care about your academic performance, regardless of your background.

Han Miao, what do you think?"

"I'm just asking about academics, regardless of origin, this... Thank you for your kindness, sir! I have always known that the students in Hunan Prefecture and County have some disdain for us Miao people. Sir, you can treat us equally.

Such kindness will be remembered by the entire village! Mr. Ruan En saved my whole village in front of me, and you will treat us equally. From now on, I, the whole Yang family, will regard you as a god and worship you from generation to generation!" Yang Jin naturally knew Miao.

In view of the current situation of the people, I was very grateful to hear that Ruan Yuan not only agreed to increase the number of schools, but was also willing to abolish the word "Xin Tong".

"Stop being so polite. You said I'm still alive. You said you wanted to offer sacrifices to me. I can't accept it." Seeing Yang Jin being so pious, Ruan Yuan smiled unconsciously and said, "Yes."

Not like this, you brought so many gifts today, always... I accepted them here. It happened to be getting late, and I have been busy for another day, so just tell the cook here and get a chicken.

Come and share a meal with us, and bring a jar of wine as well. I am also happy to see you people from the Miao village with my own eyes today."

Yang Jin was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly called two of his subordinates to bring chicken and wine. Soon the chef of the post house had prepared all the meals and served them one by one. Ruan Yuan also drank a few drinks with Yang Ji's uncle and nephew.

The cottage chicken also has its own aroma. Although Ruan Yuan doesn't eat much meat on weekdays, when he saw it now, he was full of praise for it.

"How about it, Boyuan, don't the chickens raised in our village have a special flavor?" Yang Ji noticed Ruan Yuan's color and also joked to him.

"That's true. You said that if we eat too much chicken in this house, we always... always want to see how the chicken outside tastes. The meat tastes strong and comfortable to chew.

...It reminds me of the time when Yang Ji came to our house. I was only twenty-one at that time, Yang Ji, and you were only twenty-seven." Just as he was talking, Ruan Yuan suddenly remembered something, no.

I felt another sigh.

"Yang Ji, do you still remember how we agreed on becoming an official when we were in the capital?" This time, Ruan Yuan did not wait for Yang Ji to ask him, but took the initiative to tell Yang Ji.

: "We said at the time that as an official, you should always do good things for the people. Thirty years have passed. Think about it, we have traveled all over the country, supervised five provinces, and worked for the people's benefit. We have not done enough.

Less. But I didn’t expect... I originally thought that the river embankment and sluices were built for the benefit of the people, but today these people in Fantang Village... Could it be that if I do this, I can still harm those people? We are

I want to do something practical for the people, but the people have a dispute with the people. Such a thing is really difficult to handle."

"Nephew, you can see it, right? When I returned to the village, you asked me why I still had to go out and why I didn't want to stay with you. I...now you see it clearly? For Bo Yuan, uncle

Even if you are alone in your life, it is still worth it." Yang Ji looked at Ruan Yuan's sincerity and was deeply touched for a moment. He also showed his true feelings and told Yang Jin the story of Ruan Yuan. Ruan Yuan could drink a few glasses of wine, but he couldn't.

No longer restrained, he accompanied Yang Ji to recall the old events.

"But Sir Ruan, I think this matter is not as difficult as you think?" Unexpectedly, after Yang Jin heard about Ruan Yuan's construction of water conservancy, he had his own way and took the initiative to persuade Ruan Yuan: "Just like us

In the village, the government doesn't care about us on weekdays. Dad makes the decision in the village. There are also many villagers who fight over trivial matters at home. In fact, I also know that they are not bad people at ordinary times. They are just involved in things.

I just can't let it go. My father has always understood their thoughts. If two villagers who usually have a good reputation have a dispute, he will invite a few old people in the village to judge right and wrong for them. The old people's words are generally in the village.

The people will listen, so the problem will be solved quickly? Mr. Ruan, if you think that the two groups of people are on the same page, why don’t you believe in your own judgment? Regarding the ability to calm the people and serve the masses, we

How can I compare to the great danger?"

"Nephew, in front of Bo Yuan, don't... don't even think about wielding a knife or a stick in front of Mr. Guan. Bo Yuan can do anything, but... there are just some things that he feels guilty about and is unwilling to do." Yang Ji

He also educated Yang Jin.

"Yang Ji, what your nephew said makes sense. Why do you need to persuade him? Yes, Yu Bing and Fan Zhong and Fan Jie are all ordinary people. Maybe, I

..." Thinking of this, Ruan Yuan seemed to have a more comprehensive plan, but there was always an idea in his heart that refused to let him do it.

"It seems that I should stick to my own method..." After pondering for a while, Ruan Yuan finally gradually strengthened his confidence.

Yang Jin stayed in Jingzhou for a few days, and then returned south. Ruan Yuan also asked Yang Jin to buy a sacrificial field for his grandfather in Dajing Village for generations to come. The only thing to be solved next was the various problems in Fantang Village.

Doubtful.

The misty mist fades away, and you can climb up to the top of Mount Chu to look into the distance.

It takes a thousand years to hold a crane in my arms, but I see people visiting the Baichi Tower.

The jade flute blows on a bright moonlit night, and the plum blossoms sway down the Han River in autumn.

And the poems are used to reward the beautiful scenery, and the waves are sent to help the guests' sorrow.

When we board the boat, we are nostalgic for the past, and all the sails are gathered, and the fragrant grass and the setting sun are all over the ferry.

Chu Ze's mist floats away, and the wind and rain in the river and sky meet the tall buildings.

There are yellow cranes in the clouds for a thousand years, plum blossoms on the city in May and autumn.

When I saw the flying fairy passing by the fence, I heard the sound of a jade flute, which made me sad.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Wuchang, as the capital of Hubei Province and located at the strategic point of the Yangtze River, was once prosperous and could not be more prosperous. On the Yangtze River, boats sailed every day. On the other side of Wuchang, Hankou Town had developed over hundreds of years.

It has also become one of the "Four Towns in the World" along with Zhuxian Town, Foshan Town, and Jingdezhen. In the middle of Jiaqing, Wuchang Prefecture had a population of four million. Based on this calculation, the population of Wuchang Prefecture would not be less than 300,000.

People at that time also said about Wuchang Jinkou Market: "Sifang department stores, shopping day and night, touching the sails and rafts, there is an endless stream."

The most famous place in Wuchang City is naturally the Yellow Crane Tower along the Yangtze River. At the turn of spring and summer, from the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, the most cheerful and spacious, and you can see the rushing river below. Before you know it, you can see the blue sky and white clouds.

Being one with the sky makes people feel relaxed and happy. On this day, Liang Desheng took Xu Yanjin to Wuchang. Kong Luhua was very happy and immediately invited the Xu family's mother and daughter, together with the three Ruan family daughters, to the Yellow Crane Tower to enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River.

Seeing the mighty Yangtze River to the west and the ten-mile-long street to the east, which was also crowded with people, the group was enjoying themselves. Kong Luhua and Tang Qingyun each wrote a poem to commemorate the group's visit to the Yellow Crane Tower.

Just looking to the west in the direction of the Yangtze River, I saw a group of people coming and going. Many of them seemed to be carrying rocks and soil. Liang Desheng was not surprised and asked Kong Luhua: "Sister Jinglou, I am coming to Wuchang."

At that time, I felt that there seemed to be construction on the Yangtze River, but I didn’t know why this construction was started?”

"Sister Chu Sheng, this is what the Master specifically ordered before leaving Wuchang. The Master said that he had visited the Wuchang River Embankment. Many places are in danger of collapse. Rather than turning a blind eye, it is better to nip it in the bud, so he specially

An order was issued to rebuild the river embankment. So now the bank of the Yangtze River looks like this? How about it, when my sister's ship was anchored, it was not affected at all, right?"

"That's not true. However, I heard from my sister that Mr. Ruan will only stay in Wuchang for one year before leaving. Even so, is he still so concerned about water conservancy?" Liang Desheng

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Master always told us at home that if you are an official for a day, you must fulfill the responsibilities of an official for a day. Now that I am the governor of Huguang, no matter what happens in the future, what I do today must be done today.

That's right. Look, isn't this something happened again in Jingzhou? The Master couldn't sit still a few days ago and went to Jingzhou with Yang Ji. I wanted to come to the Yellow Crane Tower with him, but I haven't had the chance yet.

." Kong Luhua said with a smile.

"Yes, but having said that, if President Ruan Zhi had not been diligent in political affairs, my sisters would not be as graceful and honorable as they are today." Liang Desheng said and said to the other side.

Liu Wenru and Xie Xue laughed and said: "Book of Records, Yuezhuang, do you still remember? When we were reciting poems and couplets on the West Lake, I talked about our marriage. At that time, you two were still a little scared. I myself

I also know that you are worried that your family status is not as good as that of my Xu family and Liang family, so you dare not agree to this marriage. But now, you two are both pleasant. In this way, we can finally be regarded as ordinary people. Now Jin'er is married

With Fu'er, Yuezhuang, you won't worry anymore, will you?" It turns out that because Xu Zongyan had only been in office for a short period of time and his official rank was insufficient, Liang Desheng only received the title of Yiren, while Ruan Yuan's family was promoted because of Ruan Yuan's continuous meritorious service.

Therefore, before and after Jiaqing, both Liu Wenru and Xie Xue were given pleasant titles. By this time, Liu, Xie, and Liang's three daughters were already of ordinary status.

"Sister Chu Sheng, actually, I... I don't care that much about this life experience. Jin'er seems to be a well-behaved child. If Jin'er can get married to Fu'er, I... I won't be happy before it's too late.

"Xie Xue also smiled at Liang Desheng.

"Sister Chu Sheng, Jin'er is also seventeen this year. With a mother like you who is good at poetry, Jin'er's poetry and prose talent will not be much worse, right?" Tang Qingyun looked at the family in harmony and said,

Xu Yanjin also smiled at the side and said: "But Jin'er, if you enter the Ruan family in the future, you have to remember the rules of the Ruan family. Every ten days, you have to meet your sister Kong Jing and your aunt

I am competing to compose poems together, and if you lose, you will be punished. How about it, can you keep the first rule of our Ruan family? When your sister Jianfang was at home, you kept insisting on it for several years.

You can’t fall behind.”

"This... Aunt Tang, I... although the child's poetry was taught by my mother, but after all, I have only learned a little, but... I dare not compare with my aunt." Xu Yanjin listened to Tang Qingyun's teasing words and felt relieved.
