Zhang Xiaochuan missed his father, mother and brother. When his family was not around, he would follow Su Zimu in high spirits every day. He looked like a soldier, no matter the wind or rain, he looked like he was made of iron.
Now his parents are here, with red eyes and tears and a lot of snot in his nose, which rubs onto his mother's clothes.
His mother also missed him and cried while holding him, feeling sad and proud.
She is sad that her son was born and died in Jieshi County. The key is that her son is so young.
She is proud that her son has been born and died in Jieshi County. The key is that her son is only so young.
The mother and son cried together.
His father also stood beside him and wiped away a few tears. He wanted to be calmer and more controlled. He bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of Xiaochuan."
Xiao Yu smiled kindly, "You're welcome, Uncle Zhang. We were all neighbors before. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Besides, Xiaochuan had to live up to his own expectations. There were so many children in Kyoto's martial arts hall at that time, and the last one left behind
Among them, Ogawa is the one who stands out."
Xiao Yu talks about relations with the Zhang family from Su Luo's side.
What left was still the love of Spring Creek Town.
This makes the Zhang family feel warm in their hearts.
Xiao Yu looked towards Zhang Xiaochuan's brother, "Shall we chat for a while?"
Zhang Xiaochuan's brother is a student of White Deer Academy. He is excellent in both morals and academics. The key is that as a student, he doesn't feel ashamed at all to help the family.
Nowadays, how many scholars look down on those who do hard work, look down on those who till the land, and look down on those who do small business. They are inferior in all kinds of things, but reading is the only one who is good.
Zhang Dachuan is not.
He went to work at the dock with Father Zhang, and did all kinds of hard work with Father Zhang to make money for the family, but it did not delay his achievements.
At that time, Zhang Xiaochuan followed Su Zimu to Jieshi County. Zhang's father and his mother originally disagreed, but it was Zhang Dachuan who did the ideological work.
Xiao Yu admired him very much during their brief contact with him in Chunxi Town.
"What are you studying for?" The two of them walked out of the house and came to the yard. Looking at the pleasant persimmon tree in the yard, Xiao Yu turned his head and asked Zhang Dachuan.
The weather is nice today, there is no wind, and the sun is shining warmly on your body.
Zhang Dachuan was not restrained and said with a smile: "For the sake of being an official."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you care about the world?"
Zhang Dachuan said, "I care about my own family. When I became an official, my children will be the second generation of officials. My younger brother will become the younger brother of officials. Life will be different, and the starting point will be different. I don't have the ability to care about the world, but
I want to use my own efforts to change the situation of my family and make them live a better life."
If Zhang Dachuan and Xiao Yu were eloquent about common people's ambitions, today's chat would end here.
But what he said was true, and it was exactly what Xiao Yu wanted to hear.
"But now you have come to Jieshi County. Now that the imperial court and I are at loggerheads, the students in Jieshi County may not be able to participate in the Kyoto scientific examination in the spring. Do you regret coming here?"
Zhang Dachuan looked at Xiao Yu, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you testing me?"
"Just take it as such."
Zhang Dachuan glanced at the persimmon tree and said, "The persimmon tree is full of fruit and the persimmons are as good as you want. Although the prince left the capital in embarrassment, everything is going well now. I have nothing to regret."
If Jieshi County cannot participate in the scientific examination in Kyoto, then the entire northern region north of Jieshi County must not be able to participate.
Since he cannot participate in the scientific examination in Kyoto, the prince must love talents, so it is not impossible to hold a scientific examination in the north. There are many talented people under the prince's command, so this should not be a problem.
Furthermore, the imperial court is now living in a state of gluttony. If there is a great resentment against him, it must be the common people. Scholars in the world are not only children from rich families, but also students from poor families."
Xiao Yu was satisfied with what he said.
He smiled and patted Zhang Dachuan on the shoulder, "You are an eloquent person. Since you studied to become an official, now, if I give you an official position, will you be able to do it?"
"Magistrate of Jieshi County?" Zhang Dachuan asked.
Xiao Yu laughed, "You don't have to be so smart."
Zhang Dachuan:......
After a moment of silence, he suddenly took a step back, bent down slightly, covered his mouth with his hands, opened his eyes wide, and took a breath of air, "Ah? The prince wants to be an official for me? God, I am so happy. Where is the official? What official?
, I will definitely devote myself to it."
Xiao Yu:......
"You'd better be smarter."
Zhang Dachuan returned to normal, "Okay."
The two of them laughed in unison.
After laughing, Xiao Yu sighed, "I am the magistrate of Jieshi County, but this position is not easy to fill. I will not hide it from you. I don't have the right person in my hands. The first candidate in my mind is you. For me,
It's an entrustment. It's an opportunity for you. Whether we can cooperate successfully or not depends on you."
Xiao Yu is talking about cooperation.
This word touched Zhang Dachuan's heart.
He had been relatively calm during the previous chat, because he had analyzed Xiao Yu before coming here and knew what the things this person was doing meant.
He wants to seize the throne.
But Zhang Dachuan is mentally supportive.
Because before Xiao Yu took the throne, he began to reform drugs, reform medicine halls, reform alcohol prices, and adjust commodity prices.
If such a person succeeds in seizing the throne, not to mention what substantial benefits he can bring to the people, he will definitely be better than the current emperor.
So Xiao Yu chatted with him, and he felt quite calm all the time.
But Xiao Yu's words of cooperation broke the calm and made him suddenly feel excited.
He actually had a feeling: a sense of participation.
Xiao Yu patted Zhang Dachuan's shoulder heavily and said, "The county magistrate has left it to you. You decide what to do. I'll leave you two helpers. They are both educated and highly skilled, so they can help you share the burden."
For some government affairs, secondly, I will protect you, and thirdly, I will supervise you and make sure people don't tell secrets."
Zhang Dachuan was still excited and nodded heavily, "Okay."
Xiao Yu said: "In the past few days, you should get to know this county and the local customs by yourself. I will stay in Jieshi County for another five days before leaving for Qibei for the next five days. If you don't understand anything, just ask. I can do anything.
Ask, don't feel embarrassed, ask me, ask the princess, ask the eldest princess, it doesn't matter. If you can't find us, just ask for safety. Use whomever you want, and get familiar with it as soon as possible."
Zhang Dachuan nodded heavily again, this sense of participation and trust made his blood boil.
He didn't feel that he was the magistrate of Jieshi County, he only felt that he was Xiao Yu's counselor.
When he was studying before, he always scoffed at what kind of counselors there were around a certain wise emperor, thinking that they were just working for their own benefit.
But at this moment, he felt like a confidant.
I don't know if it's because Xiao Yu is as young as him, or because Xiao Yu was a "neighbor" with him for a short time and even saved his father's life, or because Zhang Xiaochuan has been working with Xiao Yu for a long time, or...
....In fact, he had worship in his heart for a long time, but it had been suppressed before, and now it burst out.
