Does Wan Lei really like to bury his head in the pile of old papers? No! What he said was nothing more than an excuse to give Liu Laoyu the illusion of being reused, so he would work hard and compile books for him. No, Wan Lei had just taken office when Liu Jing took office.
Two assistants were assigned to him, and he was given a task to select a thousand poems from ancient poems as soon as possible and compile them into "Poems of a Thousand Families".
While compiling the book, Wan Lei also selected some important poems and essays, and asked Liu Jing to help write an appreciation, and finally printed them in the "Journal of People's Wealth", juxtaposing them with the agricultural and engineering subjects. After all, people want to be rich not only in material things.
, and the spirit, which is also popularizing culture to the common people.
Wan Lei also had ulterior motives. He specially selected poems and essays that reflected the hardship of the people's livelihood and the cruelty of the rulers, with the purpose of stimulating the spirit of the common people to resist tyranny. In addition, he also secretly used a trick, listed in the appreciation of these poems and essays.
By adding Liu Jing's name, no matter whether Liu Laojiu admits it or not, he is the "royal" scholar of Shuntian Mansion and the mouthpiece of Shuntian Mansion.
On the first day of May, the first issue of "People's Wealth Journal" was successfully released. A booklet with dozens of pages was made into a booklet, which is easy to carry and post everywhere. The four characters "People's Wealth Journal" on the cover were written by Tie Xuan
It is handwritten, and the rows of small and beautiful Song fonts inside are pleasing to the eye. In addition, the content contains rich knowledge and interest. As soon as the publication was published, it was warmly welcomed by the people of Shuntian Prefecture, and almost every household
People buy a copy.
Periodicals were distributed not only to the people of Shuntian Prefecture, but also to all parts of the Ming Dynasty. No, dozens of elite loyal guards mounted their tall horses, each carrying hundreds of periodicals, and dispersed into the Ming Dynasty, acting as "newsboys".
Of course, they didn't really sell periodicals, but posted them in cities and towns, just like handing out flyers.
The key areas where such "leaflets" are distributed are Baoding Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture, which border Shuntian Prefecture. They were hit by floods last year and have not yet recovered. Many refugees have been displaced and the government cannot properly resettle them.
Of course, there are a lot of complaints. It is a hotbed of rebellion. As long as there is more provocation, those refugees will fall to Shuntian Prefecture.
In fact, the proposal to send troops to invade the two Hejian Prefectures in Baoding was decided as early as the beginning of the year. This proposal was divided into three steps. The first step was united front, the second step was infiltration and destruction, and the third step was when Chen Bing entered.
Among them, the united front work before the war is very important. If this work is done well, when the Peking Army moves into Baoding and Hejian, there will be much less resistance, and maybe it will be welcomed by the people. After all, the people have been welcomed by the people.
Enough of the imperial court's exploitation and oppression. As soon as they hear about the beautiful life in Shuntian Mansion, where no taxes and no labor is required, they will yearn for it.
Months of hard work rarely came to an end. Wan Lei took advantage of the five-day holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival to spend time with his beloved wife at home. After a year, Fu Wei grew more than two inches taller and became much plumper.
That oval face is calm and not intimidating, and looks very lady-like.
At this time, Zhao Quanzhong had already married and moved out to live alone. There was another servant missing in Wanzhai, and Wan Lei was too lazy to hire more people. He didn't even sell any maids, so he just lived on. Fortunately, the new arrival
Zhang Yan is also a good cook. She and Fu Wei take turns cooking, so it is not too tiring. Today it is her turn to cook dinner, and Wan Lei can go for a walk with his wife.
Because it was a holiday, there were quite a lot of people relaxing at the beach. They were not surprised when they saw Wan and his wife coming out to crowd the road. They all greeted them with smiles. Wan Lei also smiled and told everyone to do whatever they should do and don't be restrained.
.
"Leizhi, look over there, it seems to be Mrs. Liu, should we go over and say hello?" Fu Wei pointed to the lake not far away and asked in a low voice.
Wan Lei followed the direction pointed by his wife and saw Mrs. Liu, her daughter and her grandnephew sitting side by side under the weeping willow, seemingly fishing. However, Liu Jing was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that the old guy had not yet completely integrated into Shun.
In Tianfu's life, otherwise I wouldn't be hiding at home during the holidays.
"You might as well go over and say hello." Wan Lei stretched out his arm for his wife to take, pretending to be passing by, and then walked slowly away.
Before Wan Lei and his wife could get close, Liu Liu spotted her. She pulled her mother's sleeves. When Mrs. Liu turned around and saw Wan Lei and his wife, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Young Master Wan is so elegant and cheerful, so he has such a busy schedule."
During the period, he also accompanied his wife to visit the garden together. The love between husband and wife is so deep that they are really charming."
"It's holiday, so it's time to go out and relax." Wan Lei touched Liu Zhi's little head and asked, "Tell uncle, did you catch a big fish?"
"No, no, my sister told me that the bait is too small and the fish won't take the bait." Liu Zhi replied stutteringly. It seems that he still hasn't come out of the shadow of a few months ago and is still afraid of meeting strangers.
.However, there is still some progress this time. As early as more than a month ago, when this little guy first arrived in Beiping City, he still refused to accept people.
"Don't be impatient, be patient. Yes, that's it. Don't shake your hands and keep your breath." Wan Lei squatted next to Liu Zhi and helped steady the fishing rod.
In fact, the reason why this little guy didn't catch a fish was because his hand was unstable. Wan Lei helped him steady his hand, and after a while, he felt the fishing rod in his hand sink slightly.
He wanted to finish his shot, but Wan Lei stopped him and told him to be patient and wait.
After waiting for a while, the fishing rod floated and sank a few times, and finally sank suddenly. Wan Lei let go of his hand. Liu Zhi stood up and lifted the fishing rod. A palm-sized carp was pulled out of the water. I don't know whether the fish was too heavy or too heavy.
The little guy was so excited that his face turned red. Mrs. Liu wanted to come over to help, but was blocked by Wan Lei. He wanted the little guy to experience this feeling of success by himself.
After fighting with the big fish for a while, Liu Zhi finally pulled the fish ashore, and under Wan Lei's guidance, subdued it and threw it into the fish tube. This greatly satisfied his little vanity and he couldn't care less.
The dirty water in his hand actually grabbed Wan Lei's pants and said with a smile: "I caught a big fish, uncle, I caught a big fish."
This night fell in Mrs. Liu's eyes, making her feel angry and funny. What's funny is that Xiaozhi seems to regard the man in front of him as his father, otherwise he wouldn't laugh so heartily. What's funny is that Xiaozhi seems to think of the man in front of him as his father, otherwise he wouldn't laugh so heartily. And what's funny is that Xiaozhi seems to think of the man in front of him as his father.
Zhi actually soiled someone else's clothes. She was about to reprimand her grandnephew, but was stopped by Fu Wei, who was laughing at the fun.
"You can't be proud if you only hook one fish. You can hook a few more and take them home to satisfy your grandparents." Wan Lei didn't care that his clothes were stained. It was almost night anyway, so he should change them.
.
"Yeah." Liu Zhi nodded heavily, raised his hand and touched his little head, and said: "This fish was hooked by my uncle. It should belong to my uncle. I will hook a few more myself."
Seeing that her grandnephew had given up the gift, Mrs. Liu looked at him with a smile, hoping that Wan Lei would just accept it. However, Wan Lei shook his head and said: "Uncle doesn't like to eat fish, so leave it to Xiao Zhi to eat more to grow taller.
It’s not okay to be so skinny. We boys in Shuntian Mansion must not be picky eaters. We must eat well and grow strong. Only when we grow up can we become men, you know?”
"Yeah." Liu Zhi blushed and quickly said that he would never be picky about food in the future.
In fact, Liu Zhi is the only child in the Liu family. As a result, he has developed a bad habit of being picky about food and won't touch anything that doesn't taste good. Now that his family is in decline, he often gets into temper tantrums.
He refused to eat and refused to listen to anyone, which gave Mrs. Liu a headache. Wan Lei seemed to understand everything and convinced the little guy in a few words. Mrs. Liu was secretly grateful in her heart.
Liu Liu and others stood aside. They were still very reserved at first, but seeing that Wan Lei had no airs at all and looked like a big brother, they were no longer afraid and started talking more. Even the younger Liu Xin'er started to talk.
When he started chirping, the sadness on his face became a little less, and the sadness of the past also became a little less.
"Mrs. Wan, Mr. Wan loves children very much, I don't know..." Mrs. Liu saw her daughter and grandnephew mingling with Wan Lei, so she pulled Fu Wei aside and asked in a low voice.
Of course Fu Wei understood that Mrs. Liu's implication was to ask her if she had one, so he blushed and whispered: "He loves children very much, and he loves me very much, and he doesn't want me to suffer."
"It's hard to find such a considerate husband in the world. Mrs. Wan is such a blessing."
After hearing Mrs. Liu's praise, Fu Wei's face was filled with happiness and he quickly changed the subject: "Just call me Wei'er sister, calling me Madam is too awkward."
"Sister Wei'er said that, so you're not polite." Mrs. Liu lowered her voice again and said in Fu Wei's ear: "Sister is a person who has been here before. Please tell me more. This man, sometimes...
It's like a square log. If you don't push it, it won't move."
"Hehe, my sister is so right. Men are just like square logs. Even though they are usually mature, stable, smart and capable, when they get home, they become lazy and stupid. Even if they are pushed hard, they will not move." Fu Fu.
Wei Ye smiled and said, after hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately felt like she had met a close friend, because her old Liu was the representative of Sifangmu.
The two girls were whispering to each other. Wan Lei got rid of the entanglement of the children, walked over, and asked: "What are you talking about? You are so excited."
"I didn't say anything, I was just talking about some idiots." Fu Wei said with a smile.
"You're not talking about me, are you?" Wan Lei pretended to be angry.
"What do you think?" Fu Wei tapped the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows, as if he was provoking, but Wan Lei gave her a look that didn't bother to argue with you, and asked Mrs. Liu: "Why didn't Mr. Liu?"
Come out with us?"
"My old Liu is born with a bad temper and is angry about some unnecessary things." Mrs. Liu said with a bitter face.
"What's meaningless?" Wan Lei asked knowingly. Of course he knew why Liu Laoyu was angry.
"It's just some trivial things. He also said that the young master is not trustworthy, published his articles randomly without his consent, and even signed his name. Isn't this disrespectful? Let me tell you, young master
Being able to publish his articles is an affirmation of his talent, and he is good. A dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart." Mrs. Liu said angrily.
"Oh, this is my fault. I saw that Mr. Liu's articles were well written, especially his poetry review for Yuan Shen, which won my heart. I thought..., who would have thought..." Wan Lei
He shook his head and said with a look of remorse.
"Young master, you don't have to blame yourself so much. My old Liu is just a fool for a while. I'll talk to him more when I get the chance and let him get rid of his bad temper."
"Then I'm sorry for bothering you, madam. I'm very grateful." Wan Lei bowed his hands in thanks, and then sighed again, saying: "Alas, my talents in Shuntian Mansion are withering, and I can't write any wonderful articles, and I can't even think of them.
However, I am really helpless and have no choice but to borrow Mr.’s masterpiece.”
"Master Wan, don't worry. Whatever articles you want to use in the future, I will ask my old Liu to write whatever articles you want. I will ensure that you are satisfied."
"This is a good thing, and we won't attract it in vain. From now on, we will pay you according to the quality and quantity. I'm just afraid..." Wan Lei's face was just happy, but then turned to worry.
Mrs. Liu was so shrewd that she immediately heard the implication of Wan Lei's words and said sternly: "Master, please rest assured, I guarantee the quality and quantity. As for the remuneration, please don't mention it again, otherwise our Liu family will be embarrassed to be in Beiping City anymore."
Stay."
"That's not okay. Our Shuntian Mansion pays attention to rewards based on merit and must not lose credibility. Now Xiaozhi and Xin'er are growing, so we need to make sure they are well fed. Let's do this. Let's pay according to quality and quantity, every day.
The reward for a thousand words ranges from one to five words, what do you think, madam?"
"Young Master is so benevolent and righteous, and he cares so much about our Zhi'er. It's too late for me to thank you. How dare you say anything? I'll do whatever the Young Master says." Mrs. Liu originally wanted to say no reward, but she looked at her two poor people.
The daughter and two grandnephews swallowed their rejection, but secretly vowed in their hearts that they must let their old Liu finish the article and not let them down.
"Oh, it's holiday now, let's not talk about business." Seeing that the conversation about her husband was finished, Fu Wei complained and directly changed the subject.
"Haha, don't talk about official matters in front of the lady. Don't talk about official matters." Wan Lei smiled knowingly, feeling happy that he had such a reasonable wife. But as soon as Wan Lei said these words, he saw a government servant coming in a hurry.
And whispered a few words in his ear, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he cupped his hands towards Mrs. Liu: "You guys talk first, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Master, please help yourself." Mrs. Liu knew that Wan Lei was going to deal with a major military matter, so she naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions. Fu Wei didn't ask any questions, he just opened his mouth and said a few words, told her husband to come back on time for dinner, and then let him leave.
Seeing Wan Lei walking away quickly, Mrs. Liu frowned slightly because she could not see through this young man more and more.
In fact, not only Mrs. Liu, but also many people can't see through Wan Lei. It is said that with Wan Lei's current reputation and status, it is not a problem to establish himself as a prefect or a king. However, he chose not to do it and only claimed a few things to the outside world.
Honorary positions such as Speaker of the Assembly, Chairman of the Yan Chamber of Commerce, and President of the Publishing House make people wonder what he is working so hard for.
However, people within the party know that Secretary Wan is the real King of Shuntian, and his power no longer needs to be represented by position and wealth. Although the affairs of the Shuntian Mansion are not determined by him, all major military and political matters must be reported.
According to him, he convenes meetings to vote on major issues, and his opinions also hold a lot of weight in party meetings.
"Second Grandma, where is uncle?" Liu Zhi happened to hook another big fish and was about to come to listen to praise, but found that his uncle Wan was missing.
"Uncle left in an emergency. Before leaving, he left a small whistle for auntie, saying that if Xiaozhi hooked a big fish, he would give it to him as a reward." Fu Wei took out a small whistle and waved it in front of Liu Zhi.
Yang, but didn't give it to him. Of course, this little whistle was not left to her by Wan Lei, but for her own use. Taking it out at this time was also an emergency.
"Look, Auntie, I caught a big fish." Liu Zhi lifted up the raincoat with great effort and said expectantly. Of course he likes this little whistle, because teachers and monitors often use whistles as passwords. In his little
In his mind, the whistle is a symbol of power. If he has a small whistle, he can be on an equal footing with the squad leader.
"That's what uncle said, but the whistle is in Auntie's hand. Auntie is going to take a test on Xiaozhi. If she can't answer the answer, she can't give it to her." Fu Wei pretended to be a lie. Mrs. Liu didn't say anything when she saw it and laughed.
Let’s see what the legendary Teacher Fu is up to.
"Auntie, please ask me. As long as I have learned it, Xiaozhi will definitely be able to answer it."
"The question is very simple. Auntie has ten trees. If she plans to plant one tree every one foot, how many feet of land will be used?"
Liu Zhi began to count on his fingers and quickly gave the answer: "One tree for one foot, two trees for two feet, ten trees equals ten feet, right?"
But Fu Wei shook his head, put away the whistle, and said, "You answered wrongly. This whistle cannot be yours."
"Wrong?" Liu Zhi frowned, still not understanding what was wrong, but Liu Liu smiled and answered for Fu Wei: "Plant two in one foot, one at the front and one at the other."
"Tail, three trees can be planted in two feet, ten trees only need nine feet of land, and eleven trees can be planted in ten feet of land."
"Two trees for one foot, three trees for two feet?" Liu Zhi kneaded it with his fingers for a while. Sure enough, he found that he was wrong, so he scratched his head and said, "I made a mistake in my calculation. It should be nine feet. Auntie, can you give me more?"
Let’s change the question to another one? Test poetry.”
Fu Wei saw Liu Zhi looking at him eagerly, but he didn't soften his heart. Instead, he said: "You can only have one chance every time. In a few months, if you rank among the top ten in the class in the final exam, this whistle will be able to
for you."
"We still have to wait for a few months. What should we do if Auntie forgets?" Liu Zhi was a little unhappy and muttered "Lao Gao". Liu Fu was a very understanding person and knew that Fu Wei was secretly motivating Xiao Zhi.
He worked hard to learn, so he hurriedly said: "Of course what Auntie said is true. You have to study hard. If your grades are good, you can get the whistle."
"Don't worry, Auntie will definitely not forget the whistle if it's with her. But Auntie has agreed that it's not just academic performance, it's also sports performance. If you fail in running, hehe..." Fu Wei looked like a tigress.
The appearance of the little lamb made Liu Zhi a little scared.
In fact, Liu Zhi's Chinese language scores are quite good, because he had a good tutor in the past, but he was very poor in mathematics, science, and physical education. His class teacher reported this to Fu Wei many times. Of course, Fu Wei knew that this little guy valued literature over mathematics and science.
It's not okay to despise physical exercise. That's why she played this trick to let this little guy know what comprehensive progress is.
Of course, Fu Wei is so cunning because of Wan Lei's influence. Under Wan Lao Fox's words and deeds, Little Fox Fu is also cunning...
