Chapter 267: Letting the Tiger Go Back to the Mountain
Zhouzhuang
The Lin Family College is about to enroll students. As long as the villagers of Zhouzhuang have children to study, they will not only get free meals, but also reduce the rent, which makes the whole Zhuangzi excited.
Goudan heard the news and ran home excitedly.
"Father, mother!"
Zhou Aniu asked quickly: "Goudan, what happened in such a panic?"
Goudan panted for a while and said: "Dad, the college will start after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I can study!"
Shen Yue'e just came out of the house. When she heard Goudan's words, she asked in surprise: "Really?"
Goudan nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Li Zheng has already notified us door to door. I ran back when I heard it, otherwise Li Zheng would have come to our house."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Just as Goudan finished speaking, Zhou Mancang's voice came.
"Aniu, everyone is at home."
Zhou Aniu responded quickly: "Uncle Mancang is here, come in quickly. Yue'e quickly goes and pours water."
Zhou Mancang waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I'll leave as soon as I finish. There are still many families to notify."
"Uncle Mancang, just tell me what you have to say," Zhou Aniu said.
Although Goudan had just told him, the details were not made clear.
Zhou Mancang told the college's enrollment information and said: "Aniu, although your family doesn't have to pay rent this year, it will still have to pay next year. When the college starts, send Goudan there, and your family will only need to pay rent." I paid 20% of the rent."
Zhou Aniu nodded and said: "Uncle Mancang, don't worry, I will definitely send Goudan to study when the time comes."
Now the matter of the imperial examination has been widely spread.
Ordinary people may not feel much about it, but Zhou Aniu had been a soldier before and could understand the benefits of the revised imperial examination.
Although there were imperial examinations in the past, the number of people admitted was very small.
Most officials still rely on recommendations.
But things are different now. The imperial court has ordered that from now on, all officials must pass the imperial examination.
Although he felt that even if Goudan studied, he might not be able to pass the exam.
But what if?
Moreover, studying not only provides food, but also reduces the rent, which only a fool would not want.
The most important thing is that Lin Xuan once told them that Erya can learn medical skills and reduce the rent.
In this way, their family only needs to pay 10% of the rent.
Zhou Mancang nodded and said: "Then I'll leave first, and I have to inform other families."
After Zhou Mancang left, Zhou Aniu's family was very excited.
After a long time, Zhou Aniu calmed down his excitement and said: "Yue'e, go buy some cloth to make new clothes for Goudan and Erya. Don't wear too shabby clothes when you go to study."
Shen Yue'e nodded. She had originally planned to make new clothes for her two children.
Goudan and Erya's clothes were all made by her from adults' shabby clothes.
The situation at home is better now, and of course it needs to be improved.
…
After Lin Xuan left the military camp, he came to the Lin family's old house.
Since moving outside the city, only a few servants have been left in the old house to take care of the cleaning.
In order to prevent the servants from being lazy because the master is away, they need to come and visit frequently.
Lin Xuan walked around and was very satisfied to see that the old house was well taken care of.
"Roar!"
Suddenly there were several roars, causing chaos.
Lin Xuan patted his head. No wonder he always felt as if he had forgotten something.
Not long after, four tigers, two large, two small, rushed to Lin Xuan's side.
After not seeing each other for a few months, the two cubs were already half the size of the adult tigers.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to push away a few tigers. He really couldn't stand the way they were affectionate.
"Okay, I will definitely take you with me this time."
Because I had to entertain guests after moving, I didn’t bring them with me at first.
Who would have thought that after moving, I would be so busy and busy that I would forget about it.
Lin Xuan asked Liu Da to find some carriages, and then started playing with some tigers.
When Liu Da found the carriage, Lin Xuan comforted him for a long time before letting the tigers stay on the carriage honestly.
In order not to cause panic, Lin Xuan had someone cover it with cloth.
Suddenly falling into darkness, several tigers were very uneasy. Lin Xuan comforted them for a long time before calming them down.
Arriving at Lin Mansion outside the city, Lin Xuan directly asked people to drive the carriage to the back mountain.
After putting the tigers down in the car, Lin Xuan pointed to the mountain behind and said, "You will live here from now on."
"Roar!"
The four tigers roared and held their heads against Lin Xuan, very reluctant to let go.
"Okay, I will come to see you often in the future."
Lin Xuan was a little speechless, you are tigers, not dogs, okay?
Lin Xuan was a little lucky. If he hadn't accidentally gone back today, these tigers would have lost their wild nature if he continued to raise them.
After appeasing themselves for a long time, the four tigers headed towards the back mountain with three steps at a time.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, they will make their home in the back mountain. They only need to put some animals in from time to time.
However, we still need to inform the people of Zhouzhuang so that they must not go to the back mountains in the future.
Although tigers generally do not hurt people after his instructions, the people will definitely be frightened when they see them.
After Lin Xuan returned home, he explained the matter to Butler Lin.
Back in the yard, Lin Xuan thought for a while and called Lin Ping over.
"You pick some honest people, I will be of use." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Ping didn't ask any more questions and went to do it quickly.
Not long after, Lin Ping brought three men and two women over.
Lin Xuan took a look and was very satisfied. These five people all looked very honest and were all in their thirties.
"I have something to do for you. I may have to stay out of town for a few years. As long as you handle the matter well, I can return your deed of betrayal to you and make you good citizens." Lin Xuan looked at a few people.
people said.
Their bonds of sale were all with the Lin family, and Lin Xuan was not worried about their loyalty.
"I am willing!" several people said excitedly.
They were all sold into slavery when their families could not survive in their early years.
If the master doesn't let go, not only them, but also their children will be slaves forever.
Lin Xuan nodded and asked Lin Ping to get some wet tea leaves.
There is also tea in the Guanzhong area, but it is not a famous tea.
In addition, it is now more than August. Although the tea leaves at this time are very old, they can still be used to make tea.
Although sun-dried green tea tastes good, it is still much worse than roasted tea.
Anyway, he always felt that it was inferior to fried tea.
Lin Xuan has never fried tea, but since making tea, it is nothing more than putting tea leaves in a pot and frying.
I spent an afternoon frying dozens of pots, and finally figured out the general method.
Anyway, it looks like that. As for whether it tastes good or not, we can only know after they fry it next year.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Xuan told Lin Ping to prepare some tea for them and let them practice more. After the New Year, they would send it to the tea garden.
Next year's tea will be roasted and sent to Chang'an.
…
Cui Lingdao put down the letter, looked at Cui Yi and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Cui Yi pondered for a while and said: "Dad, although I have never been in contact with Lin Xuan, I don't believe he would be so kind."
No matter what, it seems that they took advantage of the cooperation with Lin Xuan.
If something went wrong, there must be a monster, although he couldn't imagine what Lin Xuan had in mind.
Cui Lingdao nodded and said, "You are right."
Cui Yi said: "What does dad mean to refuse this cooperation?"
Cui Lingdao shook his head and said, "Why don't you cooperate?"
Cui Yi was a little confused. Cui Lingdao clearly agreed with what he said and thought Lin Xuan was plotting against them. Why did he agree?
Cui Lingdao smiled and said: "Although I didn't see what Lin Xuan was planning, our Cui family doesn't suffer, right?"
"We are cooperating with Lin Xuan. If other companies find out, will they boycott us?" Cui Yi said hesitantly.
Cui Lingdao said with a slight smile: "Boycott us? Why boycott us? Aren't we also being plotted?"
Cui Yi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "Dad, you are right."
