In the Sheriff's Mansion, Wang Yong had just passed by the screen wall in the vestibule when he heard the sound of "priceless treasure".

Outside the gate, the palace envoy in the brocade-curtained carriage also opened the curtain at this time.

He said softly: "Priceless treasure?"

Wang Yong crossed the threshold and did not look at Zhou Huai who was kneeling at the foot of the steps. He only ordered the people around him: "Bring him down quickly and ask this little brother to sit in the side hall. Don't bump into the angel!"

He walked quickly past Zhou Huai, bringing with him a large number of entourage and subordinate officials, and bowed his hands to the palace envoy.

Above the Shen River, the Chasing Moon sailed past the boundary of Xunzhou, and then continued eastward.

Cheng Ling did breakfast and took Xiao Man with him, and began to inspect the entire ship.

Following them are Bian Bosong, Hong Guangyi, Shi Hong, Wu Yun, and Yang Lin. These are Cheng Ling's confidants. It is impossible for her to manage all the affairs on this ship by herself, so it is very important to train her deputies.

.

The rowing crew has already taken another shift, and those who previously worked "overtime" have returned to their cabins to rest. The overtime pay of these people will be settled and accounted for by Shi Hong, and then withdrawn from Mu Sanniang.

Cheng Lingdao: "When we are on the water, we will pay wages every five days. If we go ashore in the future, we will consider changing it to once a month."

Shi Hong quickly wrote it down, it should be.

Cheng Ling emphatically checked several cargo holds and confirmed that there were no problems with the cargo in the hold.

She added: "Although there is no shortage of water on the river, the storage of fresh water is also indispensable. Master Bian, please go down and ask your apprentices to get more barrels later. After taking out the river water, boil it and let it cool down."

Then put it in a wooden barrel and store it."

Bian Bosong also responded quickly.

A group of people walked out of the lower cargo hold and went to check the rudder and the sailors in the sailor cabin.

The person at the helm now is Bian Bosong's eldest disciple Yao Shouzhong. He said: "Going eastward, we are going smoothly. In fact, we don't need to exert any force at all now. We just need to control the sails."

Cheng Ling praised a few words and then said: "Do a good job and share your worries with your master. I will ask your master to report back later and let Mr. Shi give you a bonus."

Xiao Man followed her quietly, making no sound, but his eyes couldn't help but wander towards her.

The group of people left the cabin and came to the deck again.

But I saw a lot of people gathered on the leeward side of the deck. Looking closer, it turned out that it was women gathering together, using wooden buckets to fetch water and wash clothes.

The children were running around happily, and some even got naughty and had a water fight.

Looking to the other side, Hong Feng and a group of idle sailors were casting nets for fishing.

The huge fishing net was cast down and was quickly swallowed into the water. The Moon Chaser was moving forward quickly, and the fishing net was dragged under the water.

Hong Feng commanded loudly: "This way, another net here! Hey, little bastards, don't bump into your uncle. If you have nothing to do, go make a net for me! Ouch..."

Before he finished speaking, a child bumped into the railing beside the deck and fell flat on his butt.

The child didn't cry. He was very strong. He touched his butt and got up on his own.

It only aroused ridicule from a group of friends, and his mother scolded angrily: "Run, run, run! You know how to run, your skin will be itchy if you don't spank it for a day! I shouldn't give you pills in the morning, eat white."

Gain a lot of strength!"

As soon as the scolding ended, I don't know where it made people laugh, and suddenly there was another burst of laughter.

Everyone, big and small, was laughing until Cheng Ling and others came over. When everyone saw Cheng Ling, they were instantly nervous.

Cheng Ling walked up to the child who had just fallen, reached out and patted the railing where he had just hit.

This railing was originally reinforced and raised according to Cheng Ling's requirements.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with the railing, but when Cheng Ling reached out and patted it up, the top pole of the railing was somehow as fragile as paper.

There was only a crisp click sound, and the pole was broken by Cheng Ling.

The child was so frightened that he took a step back and turned pale all of a sudden.

Cheng Ling said slowly: "When playing on the boat, you must be careful not to run too fast, and don't get close to these railings. They may break. Do you understand?"

The child swallowed his saliva, took a step back quickly, and nodded for a while.

Even the other children who witnessed this scene couldn't help but step back and nod together.

Cheng Ling was satisfied, so he told Bian Bosong: "Master Bian, how about asking your elder brother to come and repair this railing himself? Do you still have the materials? It won't be troublesome to repair it, right?"

Bian Bosong:......

He also swallowed, and nodded quickly after a moment: "It's easy to fix, it's easy to fix! No, you don't need my boss, I will fix it myself!"

Damn it, Mr. Cheng is still the same Mr. Cheng, he shouldn’t be such an old man.

Cheng Ling said to Yang Lin again: "Yang Lin, I plan to open a elementary school on the ship and hire you to be my teacher. What do you think?"

Yang Lin is actually Xiao Man's apprentice now, but he has always called Cheng Ling his master.

After all, he was a martial arts disciple first, and then a disciple of Xiao Man.

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Master, my disciple is very willing!" Although he has no fame, he has studied for more than ten years and taught young children. This can be regarded as not wasting the time he once studied hard.

.

This "particularly willing" is used very spiritually.

Cheng Lingtong felt happy, and then said to Shi Hong: "Go and explain the rules to everyone. All children over three years old, regardless of gender, can come to the elementary school on the ship to study. From now on, there will be a Chasing School on board the Moon Chaser.

Monthly fund..."

Having said this, she paused for a moment.

Although the rest of the people didn't understand what "fund" meant, they were all attracted by her words and couldn't help but listen attentively.

Cheng Ling continued: "This fund will be kept and managed by you. It will be used to pay the monthly salary of Mr. Meng Xueguan and the scholarships for students in the middle school."

"Scholarship" is another new word.

Cheng Ling explained: "From now on, the exam will be held every ten days in the Meng Xue School. The student who gets the first place in the exam will receive a scholarship of 100 yuan, and the students who get the second and third place will each receive 20 yuan as a scholarship."

As he finished speaking, there was a sound of drooling.

It turned out that both the women doing laundry and the quiet children on the deck were listening carefully to Cheng Ling's words.

When she explained the scholarship clearly, everyone's eyes lit up. As for swallowing saliva, this is called a natural reaction and a simple response to the "scholarship".

Cheng Ling added: "I will donate ten taels of silver first and put it into the moon chasing fund..."

When Cheng Ling led the people away, there were no more children running around on the deck. The children were all caught by their mothers, who were holding their ears and whispering instructions.

"Go to the Mongolian School and study hard. Come back with a bonus and compare yourself to your father. Do you understand?"
