Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Zhang Ji said embarrassingly to Zhang San and the others.

Zhang San shook his head to express that it was all right, while Zheng Jiu went directly to fetch water.

"Zhang Ji, I learned that you cut down the billboard of the state capital."

Fang Yuan's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.

"Sir, Mr. Governor, please forgive me. The grassroots were so angry that they did something stupid. Please forgive me, forgive me."

Zhang Ji was startled and almost knelt down.

"I'm here this time, not to hold you accountable, but I'm not an example."

Fang Yuan's expression remained calm.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhang Ji heaved a sigh of relief, his back almost sweating from fear.

"I came here this time because I heard that you have some talents, so I want to give you a chance."

"But I'm sorry to say that, with your image, even if I am willing to give you a chance, the official department will not give you a chance."

Fang Yuan sighed.

If there is only a spot of baldness on the top of the head, you can barely pass the test with a little hair change.

But if the leg is also lame, the problem will be serious, and the officials will definitely not be able to pass the test.

Just like Li Chengqian's powerful status, his status was also shaken by his lameness.

"I, it wasn't like that at the time!"

"I don't have a limp, and I don't have so little hair!"

Zhang Ji was suddenly a little angry, and said in a deep voice full of hatred.

Fang Yuan frowned, and looked at Wang Wenshu who came with him.

"Zhang Ji's legs were still good when he took the last imperial examination, and his alopecia areata was not so big."

Wang Wenshu explained.

He doesn't know what happened next.

"Do you still want to take the imperial examination?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Jidao.

"I don't want to, I can't pass the exam."

Zhang Ji shook his head and sighed.

"Will you still denounce the darkness of the imperial examination?"

Fang Yuan continued to ask.

"Lord Inspector, I, I won't dare next time."

Zhang Ji was startled, and waved his hands again and again.

He drank a little wine that day, thinking about what happened to him, he did something wrong.

"Hmph, now you know you don't dare, but do you know how difficult it will be for me to carry out the imperial examination because of your actions?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

If Zhang Ji's particularity and situation were not taken into account, sitting face to face would not be possible now.

"With all due respect to the grassroots, it is better for Mr. Governor not to bother about implementing the imperial examinations."

Zhang Jisan smiled mockingly, but gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

“How come you see?”

Fang Yuan frowned, dissatisfied.

Zhang San and the others also stared at Zhang Ji with uneasy expressions.

"It is difficult to study, but it is difficult to go to the blue sky."

"Study is so difficult, why do you still have to take the imperial examination?"

Zhang Ji sighed.

At this moment, his eyes are full of vicissitudes and endings.

"Tell me how difficult it is to go to the blue sky while studying."

Fang Yuan frowned deeper, said in a deep voice.

Chapter 123 Let Anyone Who Wants to Read Read

I heard that Zhang Ji has real talents and practical learning.

It's all here, let's see if it's true.

If it is true, maybe you can give him a chance.

"Master Ci Shi, I'm just complaining for a while, and I definitely don't mean to say that the imperial examination is dark."

Zhang Ji was taken aback by Fang Yuan's sullen look, he waved his hand quickly and said.

"I'm not blaming you, but I want you to analyze why it is said that studying is difficult to reach the sky?"

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

"Really, is it really not strange?"

Zhang Ji asked tentatively.

Sitting so close to Fang Yuan, he was quite scared.

Although I have participated in several imperial examinations, the only official I have ever seen is Si Gong.

Even if Fang Yuan kept a stern face, he would still be quite frightened, not daring to meet Fang Yuan's eyes.

"It's not strange if you say it's not strange."

Fang Yuan was a little speechless.

This person is so timid, how dare he cut down the billboard?

"Let's just talk about the grassroots, and please forgive me if I'm wrong."

Zhang Ji looked at Fang Yuan and said.

Seeing Fang Yuan nodded, he dared to continue talking.

"Let's start with me first."

"Master Inspector, what do you think of my house? Is it a barren house? Does it not even have a decent table?"

Zhang Ji lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then got up and paced.

He was limping, but it didn't affect his walking. He pointed to the dilapidated house and said in pain.

"Isn't it because of a limp?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

When he first arrived, Zhang San once whispered in his ear that Zhang Ji might be lazy, Fang Yuan thought so deeply and didn't express it.

But after meeting Zhang Ji and finding that his leg was lame, he no longer thought so, but thought it was reasonable.

Zhang San and the others also looked at Zhang Ji with a slight frown. They all thought that Zhang Ji's lame leg made their house so dilapidated.

"My leg was lame six months ago, that's not why my family is like this."

"The real reason is because of reading, because of reading!"

Zhang Ji patted his lame leg, his eyes became moist.

"Why?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled.

Zhang San and the others didn't understand either.

Everyone looked at him, wanting to hear the following.

"Reading requires money, you need to buy paper, you need to buy books, you need to hire a teacher..."

"Because I had to study, I couldn't help with housework, so I borrowed a lot of money... Now I do various jobs every day, and I hope I can pay back some money to them."

Zhang Ji said in pain.

The elders actually cried because of this.

Or maybe only he knows the sadness in it.

It's been 18 years since I was in the cold window, and now I'm in my thirties. I have no fame, I haven't married yet, I have a limping leg, and I owe a lot of money. Only the person involved can understand the sadness in this.

If there is no accident, there will be no girl in this life who is willing to marry him.

The old mother is still around 90 years old, not because of her longevity and health, but because she wants to see the day when he gets married.

"According to you, it's actually a question of money."

"Can a working family afford a child to study in the factory that the official is now running?"

Fang Yuan suddenly realized a very serious problem.

That's the problem with paper and books.

White paper is very expensive, and common people cannot afford it.

But yellow paper can be used instead, and the paper problem is not a problem.

But books are the key, they cannot be bought with money, and they are monopolized by aristocratic families.

Why the aristocratic family is strong, strong in soldiers, strong in money, strong in books, strong in power and so on.

"A book costs 30 Wen, how many families does the governor think can afford it?"

Zhang Ji smiled wryly.

Before Fang Yuan came, studying was unimaginably difficult.

Most ordinary people have no chance to make money at all, let alone study, so it is difficult to get to the sky by studying.

Now that Fang Yuan came, he set up factories in various places, recruited workers, and gave him a monthly salary of 30 copper coins, so that now the common people gradually have more money in their hands.

But it costs 30 Wen to buy a book. I am afraid that there are not many family reasons for their children to study. After all, other expenses have not been counted.

"Is there a solution?"

Fang Yuan suddenly felt heavy.

He wants to promote the imperial examination, and wants more people to read the book.

But now it seems that it is a bit whimsical, and the problem inside is not clear.

The imperial examination can be popularized and everyone can know it, but there are very few people who can really afford to study.

"Impossible, even if the books are free."

"There is also an admission fee, and the minimum requirements for students to eat and sleep well."

Zhang Jihe smiled wryly.

It costs another sum of money to enter the academy.

There are not many here, the key is the back, it is difficult to help the family to do too much work to meet the requirements.

In this era of men farming and women weaving, without a source of money, children are also a productive force.

For Zhang Ji, who has more than ten years of reading experience, he can see all these clearly, but he has no solution.

"If the state government opens an academy, provides books, and provides teachers, will it be successful?"

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

Now there is an academy in the state capital itself, but it is almost vacant, and it can be held now.

There are several doctors in the Governor's Mansion, and these are all paid by the court. They can be allowed to teach, and the problems of the master can also be solved.
