Without asking, I knew it was Chen Ping’s letter.
The two of them were refreshed and jumped up almost at the same time. They took the envelope and opened it eagerly.
Under the green and tall old pine tree, the two teenagers each chose a side, leaning on both sides of the trunk, and carefully read the letter that had drifted for dozens of miles.
There is a colorful feather embedded in the envelope, and half of it is exposed. This is called the "One Feather Order" to show that the government will issue it without delay.
It seems that Chen Ping also borrowed County Magistrate Wang’s brand in order to deliver these two letters earlier.
Ye Chongwen held the letter in his hands, and the closer he looked, the closer his eyes came, the light of longing gleaming in his eyes.
According to what Chen Pingxin said, road repairing may seem like hard work, but in fact it is full of beautiful scenery.
Especially on a starry night, when the moon sets in the frosty sky and everything is silent, you can gaze at the endless stars in the wilderness.
Such a magnificent scene can make every sincere student's literary thoughts well up, and he can't wait to write hundreds of masterpieces on the spot.
As the sun rose, thousands of people set out together.
It is like a boundless crowd, walking neatly on the winding old official road, carrying the future and hope on their shoulders, and devoting themselves to causes that benefit the people. It is another shocking sight.
In short, you, Ye Chongwen, are really at a huge loss for not being able to see this kind of scene!
After reading the entire letter, Ye Chongwen couldn't help but slap his head hard, full of annoyance.
Why, why did I feel timid at that time? If I had persevered, would I have been able to see these beautiful scenery?
Is it possible that literary thoughts are already welling up, and a few strokes are enough to produce wonderful works?
Ye Chongwen was patting his thigh regretfully, and not far behind him, He Qingxuan was biting his lips.
According to what Chen Ping said in his letter, he helps teachers and county magistrates handle crucial account books every day. And his main task is to perform various complex calculations.
The assessments in the academy are, at most, based on arithmetic books written by predecessors, with slightly modified questions. In the end, they are the same old routine without changing the medicine.
What Chen Ping has to calculate every day are all the various difficult problems encountered during the road construction process.
For example, how to roughly estimate the weight of large irregular-shaped mounds of soil and jagged piles of rocks?
Another example is a huge puddle with a zigzag water bank, which is filled with turbid sewage. Due to limited conditions, only a small drainage channel can be dug.
How should we calculate it? How many hours will it take to sort it all out?
Things like this happen every day.
Without a relatively accurate estimate, rashly mobilizing a large number of manpower will inevitably result in a waste of manpower or time; uneven distribution of manpower and material resources, focusing on one at the expense of the other, will delay the construction period, and any mistakes in any link will have a huge impact at this time.
Whole body.
Only accurate and reasonable scheduling can ensure the highest efficiency.
Only numbers can give people the most solid guarantee.
All of the above are dependent on the strategizing in the study room, so that every manpower and every breath of time can be fully utilized, so that the road construction plan can be completed quickly and efficiently.
He Qingxuan bit his lip and almost bled!
This guy Chen Ping is so hateful, he is just stabbing my lungs!
At the same time, I feel extremely regretful about why I didn’t seize such a good opportunity.
The best place to practice arithmetic and seek knowledge is not in the classroom, nor in the imperial examination.
Rather, it is about building roads, building river embankments, building cities and other civil engineering and water conservancy matters!
Looking at the letter sent by Chen Ping, He Qingxuan felt that he had missed the most precious thing in his life.
When a mathematician misses a project budget, he feels as regretful as if he failed to catch up with Qiu Gui when he went to Beijing to raise his son.
I really want to cry!
After a while, Ye Chongwen punched the tree trunk hard and shouted loudly: "I really want to see all these scenes with my own eyes, and I really want to go find Chen Ping!"
Hearing this, He Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Chongwen strangely.
What is this guy crazy about?
Why did you suddenly change your temper?
Could it be that Ye Chongwen, under the influence of himself and Chen Ping, had unknowingly become interested in arithmetic?
If this is true, it can be considered a moderately good news.
Full of relief, He Qingxuan reached out and patted Ye Chongwen on the shoulder.
He said in a more sad and regretful tone: "Yes, I also want to find him."
"I didn't expect that in just ten days, we missed so much!"
"If Mr. Ye and Chen Ping weren't doing business, they probably wouldn't have time to meet us. I really want to gallop away immediately."
After all, this is just a temporary complaint. It is difficult for these two children to even get on the horse.
Ye Chongwen complained, "You are a math nerd, and the articles and poems you write are all flesh and blood. How can you be as emotional as me?"
……
Yongshun County Government.
Magistrate Wang, Zhao Jin and Ye Lao are discussing donating money for road construction.
Chen Ping was dazed on the side, staring blankly at the plan in front of him, but what he was thinking about was his two friends who were far away in Huating Academy.
He also doesn’t know whether He Qingxuan and Ye Chongwen have received his letters, or whether they are as resentful as he suspected.
It’s no wonder that Chen Ping wrote two letters as a prank, it’s really because the past two days have been too boring.
As a county magistrate, County Magistrate Wang will definitely not immediately implement it regardless of the beginning or end after hearing a suggestion that is only theoretically promising.
Discuss with your own staff, discuss with close subordinates, spread a little bit of news, and test the reaction of the outside world. These are all essential processes.
Now, the specious rumors have been out for two days.
Two days are enough time for thoughtful people in the county to cause many troubles.
Some spread prophecies and falsely accuse the county government; some seek wealth and wealth from dangers and make profits from it; some mix in a little, working hard and seizing the credit; or material vendors find excuses to raise prices, making it difficult to make money in government.
Don't compete with things unintentionally, don't guess at each other.
Magistrate Wang is waiting, and Mr. Ye and Zhao Dutou can only wait.
Chen Ping, who has the least sense of existence, naturally can only have some fun in the small garden of the county government house.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Oh, it’s not always boring.
Sometimes, in his spare time, Magistrate Wang would suddenly become a good teacher. He would grab the only child around him and wish he could stuff all his years of reading experience and scientific examination experience into Chen Ping's mind.
At every moment like this, Chen Ping would miss his two friends even more.
Why haven't you come over yet?
Come galloping over on horseback!
Come and share the pressure with me!
Just like that, Chen Ping became an unknown student of Magistrate Wang in the extremely painful education.
Although Mr. Ye has been holding back, not daring to have an attack, but he never wants his close disciple to be snatched away, Magistrate Wang is as happy as a fox who has stolen a chicken.
Whether Ye Wenchangcheng admits it or not, this little guy has learned so much from me. Regardless of the red tape on his status, he can be regarded as my student.
While Chen Ping was in a daze, a government official stumbled over from the back door of the county government office. Without bowing or announcing, he ran in front of Zhao Dutou recklessly.
When he saw this person, Zhao Dutou's eyes lit up.
This person was the spy he sent out to investigate the reactions of major merchants and many gentry families in the county.
Before Zhao Dutou could ask, the yamen official said in a deep and anxious voice: "Something is not good. The major merchants in the county seem to be colluding in private."
"Especially Huang Liuye of the Huang family, this person reacted the most violently and traveled to several places in one day."
"I heard...I heard that they are going to join forces to cause trouble!"
The relationship between Huang Liuye and Huang Xiancheng is well known in the county, but there is no evidence that they formed a party for personal gain, so it cannot be eliminated.
After all, Huang Liuye is not a nobody, and his Fuding Tower is definitely a well-known property in Yongshun County.
Since this person dares to stir up trouble in this way, who would believe that Huang Xian Cheng was not behind it?
"Bang!".
Magistrate Wang slapped the stone table, which made his fingers numb.
He felt that he had done his best to accommodate the Prime Minister of Huang County in the last corruption incident.
But his initiative to give in did not seem to earn the other party's gratitude. Instead, he began to intensify his provocations, making people feel that he was weak and could be bullied!
