"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 58

Fan Chunli has been busy lately!

Wang Rong was responsible for urging him a few words, and he ignored the rest.

Fan Chunli is responsible for collective training for students who go to the countryside and prepare lecture notes; he is responsible for overall planning and determining which village each student goes to to study; when someone goes down, he must pay attention to whether there is any accident.

Most of these students are from fifteen to ten years old, equivalent to freshmen, and do not take the national civil service exam this year.

What such a boy lacks the most is energy and passion. What he wants most is recognition and is willing to take responsibility. Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan were encouraged, and these boys responded positively!

This matter was led by Fan Chunli. How could Fan Chunli not be concerned? Fan Chunli himself went to the countryside and happened to have a big sale of peaches in Qingzhou. People from neighboring states rushed to the southwest of Qingzhou to buy peaches and sell peaches. Fan Chunli rolled up his sleeves and helped collect a lot of peaches. Now, when he closed his eyes, he was surrounded by the sweetness of peaches!

Due to his extraordinary math ability to calculate during the peach selling process, many villagers even begged him to teach them how to calculate.

What can Fan Chunli do when she faces her eyes that are eager to learn? Roll up her sleeves and work hard!

Fan Chunli is busy until the peach season has passed and the autumn harvest and the busy farming season has arrived.

In just a few months, he didn't have much time to read new books, but he knew every word more thoroughly than ever. He did not write a poem like "Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard to work", but he finally knew how much time it took for a seed to grow into rice ears. He found that no matter how relaxed and relaxed he was to calculate at home, it was not as good as fighting with peach dealers for a few more times to exercise his math ability!

For Fan Chunli, this is a day that he will never forget in his life.

The situation of the first batch of other students who went to the countryside was similar to Fan Chunli. The school officials all noticed that this group of students who went to the countryside had a very different feeling than other students. However, the time was still short, and no one could see what impact this change would have on Qingzhou.

The autumn harvest season is approaching, and the hawthorns are ripe. The red fruits all over the mountains are very pleasing to the eye. After seeing this, Wang Yun urged Liu Yong to hold a poetry meeting.

This poetry meeting was held at the foot of Linglong Mountain, with red hawthorn fruits everywhere. The caves on Linglong Mountain are intertwined, with beautiful scenery, and there is also a White Horse Valley. When you hear this name, you will be very cultural. You can think of something like "the fleeting time passes" and "time is fleeting", which is a place where nostalgia and the present is hurt.

Wang Yun led Zhou Wen and took his younger sisters and the others to take a walk, picked some red hawthorns and went back to eat, and by the way, see if there is room for hype in this place that can be called a scenic spot.

After walking around in person, Wang Rong loved Baiju Valley very much. He turned around and asked Zhou Wu to lead someone to clear out the mountain walls on both sides of Baiju Valley, and to take care of the ancient ruins above so that they can be seen by others for literati and poets to enjoy.

The scenery is so beautiful, the mountain wall is so empty, so flat and beautiful, and the calligraphy of our predecessors is so well preserved. It has been completely new after 180 years. Isn’t it very itchy to look at it? Are you ready to carve your poems and essays? If you want, just say it openly, don’t be ashamed, Qingzhou engraving workers will serve you at all times!

Wang Rong told Liu Yong about his literary plan in this and this way. Liu Yong glanced at him and said, "Volume, too vulgar! Who do you think of me?" But he was idle, and Liu Yong really rode his horse to Baiju Valley to enjoy the poems and essays of his predecessors. After he came back, Liu Yong felt inspiration surged, and wrote many posts with a large stroke of his pen and invited literary friends from this state and neighboring states to come and have fun.

Wang Rong kept the person around, but he was thinking about how to eat hawthorn. Candied haws are good, frosted hawthorn is also good. Hawthorn slices, hawthorn cakes, dried hawthorn fruits are all good things to enjoy and digest!

After summer, the business of Bingyin was not so easy to do, so the sister-in-law of the Zhou family took a break. She bought a shop in the city and made some food and took out. She earned less than summer, but she was more profitable than burying her head.

The Zhou brothers are well-off and can pick up the books and read them again. The two younger brothers live with Wang Rong on weekdays. When they come back, the Zhou brothers can't help but say: "You are still young, and now your family is not short of money. Why don't you do it? Repeal the Confiscation Book and study with me."

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family prepared the meal and brought it in. After hearing what the Zhou brother said, she put the meal down and cursed: "Good you Zhou Liangcai, we can have a good life now, don't we rely on the ideas we have made. You have a good bookmark, and you don't want to do it if you say you don't know one? Even if I don't know one big word, I know the truth that 'no one can stand without trust'!"

Zhou Wenben stuttered, and when he heard that Zhou's sister-in-law was angry, he also said, "Brother, I can't get through the path to the imperial examination."

Zhou Wu was even more straightforward and said, "Brother, you know, I have been reading the most since I was a child. It would be better to let me beat the big insects than to let me study. Besides, my sister-in-law is right. My second brother and I have signed a contract with the yamen. How can we go back on our word?"

Seeing that his wife and two younger brothers said so, the Zhou brother had to give up.

When Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu returned to Wang Rong, they tacitly did not mention this matter with Wang Rong, and they were all focused on following Wang Rong. Wang Rong had always been good at treating the people around him, so he signed them up for a "literacy class" run by Fan Chunli. When they finished their studies, they threw a book on their own, so that they could learn something else while practicing martial arts.

Although Zhou Wen was stuttering and clumsy, his calculation ability was actually very good. Wang Yun tried to teach him some calculation methods, and he could quickly understand it! Wang Yun was very satisfied. He picked some books on mathematics and asked Zhou Wen to lay the foundation first, and then he looked for some opportunities to exercise.

As for Zhou Wu's words, he can easily accomplish anything when he goes out.

Wang Rong gradually understood the strengths of his two new followers, and received a letter from Kaifeng. Naturally, Sima Yan wrote the letter. Sima Yan said that the season was changing, and the autumn was high and the air was dry, so he needed to clear the lungs and moisten the throat, so he wrote some fine recipes for him.

Wang Yun gave them to Wu to think about it, and called his friends out of the city, preparing to repay the petition and pick a basket of hawthorns and send them to Sima Yan.

Wang Yun is now first-class in climbing trees. Most of the hawthorn trees are short, which is not enough for him to perform. He quickly picked a basket full of food.

As the beloved son of the Tongzong and the beloved disciple of the prefect, he also made shuttlecocks, gyros and other favorite things for children. Wang Xiaoyane is very famous in Qingzhou, and the owner of the hawthorn tree said that he would give him the hawthorn for free.

Wang Rong had a very firm position: "No, my father will beat me. You don't know, my father looks like an ordinary scholar. When he chased me and beat me, his legs were so fast. I suspect he quietly practiced a scree or something!" He also talked about what scree and his friends meant, which means running very fast and his legs were dancing in the wind!

In the next few days, Wang Anshi always felt someone observing his legs when he was walking outside. Until someone vaguely told him the rumors his son made, Wang Anshi realized that he had the name of "scud".

So Wang Anshi went home and beat his son.

As soon as Wang Anshi finished calculating the accounts with his son, the government office received an urgent report: There was a disaster in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and thousands of victims came to Qingzhou.

The reason why the victims rushed towards Qingzhou on a large scale is to trace back to Fu Bi, the former man. Fu Bi also caused a disaster when he was working in Qingzhou. When a large number of victims passed by Qingzhou, Fu Bi persuaded the rich households in the city to open warehouses and release grain to help the victims. These victims survived a disaster, came and left, and did not leave much in Qingzhou.

This time, the victims came here with familiarity and actively promoted science to those who were also affected by the disaster, and the people in Qingzhou are great people, so they have food to eat in Qingzhou!

Wang Anshi jumped and hurriedly went to Fan Zhongyan to discuss this matter. Fan Zhongyan had only dealt with the famine in Hangzhou last year. He didn't panic when encountering this incident and asked Wang Anshi to sit down and talk. Fu Bi had already been a good person. The powerful and wealthy households in the city were not fools. He released the food once. Will he let others release it this time? Why should they release it for you, and follow the example of saving all living beings?

Fan Zhongyan said: "The harvest in Qingzhou this year is not good, and the grain prices are being raised very high. Many people are storing grain to wait for high prices. They are definitely unwilling to take it out and give it to others for nothing." He rubbed his eyebrows and discussed another thing with Wang Anshi first, which is about paying imperial grain. "The grain prices here are high, and the grain prices in Bozhou are low. I plan to ask someone to bring money to Bozhou to buy grain on the spot. This will avoid the loss during transportation, and secondly, we can also leave some grain in Qingzhou. Why not do this?"

Wang Anshi wanted to object, but this was a serious matter, so he had no reason to refuse. The imperial grain in one state was not a trivial matter. If someone touched it, no one could make up for it. Wang Anshi had to agree, turned around and talked about it with Wu, and then asked Wang Xun to remind him: "Please keep a close eye, don't let your Grandpa Fan work too hard."

Wang Yun nodded: "I know." He also promoted Zhou Wen to Wang Anshi, "Zhou Wen can protect you, he is also good at math, and you will be much easier with him to help you." To be honest, he was not very confident about his father's mathematics, after all, his father is a real liberal arts student!

Wang Anshi did not refuse, so he brought the money in the afternoon, and took Zhou Wen and several other yamen runners to Bozhou to pay the imperial grain.

As soon as Wang Anshi left, Wang Yun immediately followed Wang Anshi's order to move Zhang Xiaoshou beside Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan was thinking with a map. Wang Yun knew his idea of ​​using labor for relief, but this hiring worker also requires money to do infrastructure and cannot make decisions with a slap in one's head.

Wang Rong and Wang Anshi had actually thought about this matter a long time ago. As a big farming country, the most important thing in infrastructure construction is naturally to build roads and canals. Wang Anshi has experience in Yin County! Fan Chunli is responsible for the prefecture education and county students' teaching in the countryside. He also asked the students to investigate the irrigation and road problems in various counties and villages on the spot. During this period, Wang Rong is summarizing these materials!

His father Wang Anshi once enjoyed the pleasure of infrastructure construction. He was a quasi-infrastructure maniac and had long been thinking about repairing this and that. Isn’t this just in the busy farming season?

If there is sufficient human resources, money is not a problem at all. If the powerful and wealthy households in Yin County can actively participate, the powerful and wealthy households in Qingzhou will definitely be happy to invest some money. After all, this is a good thing that can last for a hundred years!

So, now I am really sleepy and someone gives me a pillow! The more victims the disaster, the better, the more victims the better, and I am worried that no one will work! Since they have not harvested the fields this year, it would be great to come and work to earn some money and buy some food to spend the famine!

Wang Yun moved the chair to Fan Zhongyan and pointed at the map, saying that there was a canal to be dug here and there to build a road. How many victims do you think can come? Are you so experienced and quickly calculate enough? Can you ask them to go back and get more people?

Fan Zhongyan: “…”

Are you really the magistrates of other states dead?

The author has something to say:

Wang Xiaoyun: Come on, come on, come on, Qingzhou’s development depends on everyone!

I didn’t sleep well last night, and I was not energetic during the day today!

So it's late to update!

Try to be on time tomorrow!
