Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Because the Academy is close to Heba Village, most of the villagers who are idle in the village will choose to do some small business and pull carts at the entrance of the Academy.

Moreover, the food, vegetables, fruits, etc. that the Academy needs are also provided by Heba Village, so basically the people wandering around the Academy are from Heba Village, and the older villagers take advantage of their spare time to earn some extra money.

Li Si is one of them. His family has donkeys, so he does the business of soliciting customers and driving carts.

In fact, Li Si’s family is not the only one with donkeys in Heba Village. Thanks to Lin Ze’s help, Heba Village has become richer and richer over the years. It is not necessary.

"...Hehe, it's different to have a promising person in this village. After all, they are of the same clan, so how can there be no reason not to help? Speaking of which, I am also a relatively prosperous person in our village. I do business by myself, and all the people I hire are from our village. people, now our village is very rich."

Listening to Li Si's showing off, Mr. Zhang agreed with a smile, and then spoke without any trace,

"Hey, little brother, Lin Ze in your village is an official. I heard that you have planned demolition and relocation a few years ago. I think Mr. Lin has provided a lot of benefits to the villagers, right?"

Li Si, who is driving the car, is almost forty this year, but Mr. Zhang is sixty, so there is nothing wrong with calling him a little brother. It seems very familiar to call him like this.

If you want to talk, of course, you must first establish a good relationship.

Li Si has no education, so he just went to the adult literacy class in the government primary school in the past few years, and he knew some simple daily words. If the education level is not enough, he will not be able to detect other people's intentions, so he has no defense and said with a smile,

"Yes, Lin Ze came from our village. Of course, he wants to benefit us. After careful calculation in our village, every household in our village has relatives with Mr. Lin..."

"Oh? Little brother, come and listen to me?" Master Zhang regained his energy.

"That's a lot to say. I can't finish it for three days and three nights. Let's just talk about a few. The first is the planning and demolition. Originally, according to the government's regulations, we can only calculate the size of the house according to the head, although The house is affordable, but after two years when the children get married and have babies, the house will be crowded. But our poor families don’t have money to pay for the big ones, so..."

Mr. Zhang interrupted slowly and excitedly, "So you, Mr. Lin, will give you more points for a little operation?"

"Master, what do you mean a little operation?"

However, Li Si's education level is not enough, so he didn't understand.

"It means that you Mr. Lin secretly decided to give you more houses. We also do this often. When I do business and hire people from our village, I will pay more than others."

Now Li Si understood, and widened his eyes, "My lord, you are too unkind!"

"Of course the relatives in my hometown need to help out more. Isn't that what everyone does? Little brother, don't you Mr. Lin think about the people in your village? This is just a little bit of job convenience, it's normal, and it doesn't hurt anyway..."

"This is not normal!"

Li Si was very contemptuous and annoyed. It was because of the existence of such a master in front of him that they had been deducted in various ways when they went out to work.

Don't think that they don't know where the wages they deducted are used. They are either corrupted by the manager, or subsidized to those workers who have "relationships". Businessmen are not fools. How can they subsidize their relatives every day? , in order not to offend 'relatives', it must be deducted from other places to make up for the leak.

Li Si remembered the grievance of working outside in the past, so he couldn't hold back his complaints.

"We, Master Lin, would do that! My lord, you have taken over your own family members, but where did the money come from? Didn't you just deduct it from other people? It's so unkind. We don’t want to subsidize us, we must know that sometimes a few pennies can save a family’s life..."

"The houses allocated to each family in our Heba Village are indeed much more spacious than those in other villages, but this is all bought by Mr. Lin himself. We all know that Mr. Lin always puts justice first and favors second, and will never be greedy for a cent!"

"Do you know how many corrupt officials' heads were beheaded when Mr. Lin first took office? How much money was stolen? All these wealth were counted in front of our people, and then filled into the official treasury to start Government primary schools and helping poor families, that’s why we don’t see beggars and homeless people in Qingshan County.”

Li Si is active in popularizing science. He really hopes that the whole world is full of officials like Mr. Lin, so that the people will really have a good life.

Lin Ze is really not greedy for a penny?

Mr. Zhang does not believe that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. There is no such thing as an adult who is truly unassuming. The people so respect it. It can only be said that Lin Ze's hiding skills are relatively deep and his methods are relatively clever.

Of course, the people here seem to be fans of someone like Lin, so these words cannot be said.

Master Zhang agreed with an apologetic smile,

"Well, little brother, you're right. We really didn't expect this. For ordinary people, a few pennies can save lives. Hey, I'm really ashamed... Then little brother, can you tell me about your master Lin again? The old man has heard a lot about his deeds, and he is really curious."

"It doesn't matter. Our Lord Lin said that knowing the mistakes can make a big difference. Master, you may also be confused by the stewards below. Just pay more attention in the future."

Li Si was very satisfied with the attitude of the master in front of him, his anger disappeared, and he continued to enthusiastically explain the changes in the village and the deeds of the "great man" in his village.

From houses to government primary schools, primary schools to adult literacy classes, from literacy classes to nursing homes and orphanages, from life to farming, breeding and planting, etc., whatever comes to mind.

This is even more clear and specific than what the guide boy said before. The guide boy is young and has lived in the town for a long time. Naturally, he is not like Li Si, who has suffered half his life, so he can clearly feel the beauty of life in the past few years.

Mr. Zhang kept trying to get rid of Li Si's mouth, looking for Lin Ze's handle.

It doesn't matter whether it's abusing his power or corrupting himself, as long as he catches the slightest mistake, he can go back and play a book.

But the result... the result is that there is no result.

Whether it is public or private, Lin Ze is perfect and impeccable. As long as the handling of public affairs and cases does not involve core secrets, everything is transparent, and the people can clearly know where the taxes collected by the government are used.

The other party doesn't care about their status. As long as anyone makes a mistake and breaks the law, no one can escape the punishment. The fairness and justice have reached an incredible level.

For this reason, the people of Qingshan County spontaneously made a double-sided statue for Lin Ze, one side is smiling and the other is serious, representing the two representative characters of Lin Ze's benevolence and strict law enforcement.

In private, Lin Ze is the standard for the girls and buddies in Qingshan County to maintain and choose their husbands.

Don't go out to spend time and wine, don't marry three wives and four concubines, can earn money to support the family, and accompany her husband and children to go out for a stroll and have fun whenever she is free. This is perfect!

Even the men are extremely admirable, Mr. Lin is so capable that he can still resist the temptation of the outside world, his determination is simply admirable.

Of course, some people bitterly said that Mr. Lin did not marry a concubine because of the family rules of the Lin family, or because he was afraid of his husband or something, but no matter how they were discussed, no one could find anything wrong with Lin Ze in public or private...

Li Si said happily.

Mr. Zhang felt heavy when he heard that. There is no perfect person in the world. To be able to manage such a reputation, it can only be said that the other party's methods are too powerful and too cunning.

In fact, he didn't think wrong, of course Lin Ze couldn't be so perfect.

It's not that Lin Ze is not selfish, but he is more skillful in his schemes. Unlike those officials who only oppress the people and take away the people's fat and anointment, he uses the rules to obtain legal benefits. God knows the shops that are now hanging on Zhang Yu's head How many industrial factories are there.

Take the "Zhang Ji Tang" signboard that has appeared in recent years specializing in candy and candy business. You can tell who it is from the name. The business of sugar is not something that ordinary businessmen can get involved in. Zhang Ji Tang is needed by the military camp. Designate a merchant network for cooperation...

As for private affairs, the relatives and friends of the Lin family have already been dealt with submissively by him, and whoever dares to delay and make trouble has already been dealt with.

It's even more useless if it's attractive, Lin Ze is not a playful person, his daughter-in-law can go to the hall outside, coax him to bed inside, plus three lovely sons tossing around, she has to be busy all day long Official business, where does he have the time and thought to do some cats and dogs.

So all sorts of coincidences created Lin Ze's 'perfect' image.

Mr. Zhang is very depressed. He has never seen a young man as cunning as Lin Ze in his life. With Lin Ze's life experience in the past [-] years, it is really hard to imagine how a small farmer in the Lin family cultivated such a young man. Yes, they are many times better than the youngsters cultivated by their families with a hundred years of experience.

After entering Heba Village, looking at the village environment and people's style that was not the slightest difference from the factual description, he couldn't find words to describe how depressed he felt about finding fault.

Like what Li Si said, a nursing home and an orphanage have been established in Heba Village, which are specially designed to take in orphans who have no children and orphans who have no family or relatives to take care of them.

With the help of the Qingshan County Yamen, these people have a shelter and a stable life. Everyone's face is full of rosy faces and smiles.

"I heard that Mr. Lin had a falling out with his brother back then, and forced him to write a divorce letter. After all, he is a real brother. Will Mr. Lin's move be too ruthless? How can my brother have an overnight feud..."

Master Zhang was full of depression and was still unwilling, and finally racked his brains to come up with a breakthrough point.

"Master Lin is not ruthless. You don't know about this master. There are some scandals in the village that we can't publicize to the outside world, but the whole village dares to vouch for Mr. Lin's past affairs. That's right!"

"Anyway, what happened to the Lin family back then, it's not an exaggeration to send the second child of the Lin family to the yamen to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. That is to say, it is so easy for Mr. Lin to force his brother and Mrs. Chen to write a divorce letter because of the reputation of our village. For the reason of the other wife and mother, she angered the little girl of the Lin family, and took care of the little girl as her own younger sister, with the utmost benevolence..."

"Fortunately, over the years, the second child of the Lin family has gradually thought about it, lived honestly with the ugly wife, and was willing to let go of his arrogance and endure hardships. Father Lin couldn't see it and helped the couple open a small study in private. Master Lin didn't say what."

"By the way, there is also Uncle Lin, who has been cut off from the Lin family for decades and has had many unpleasant incidents. Master Lin is still willing to help. This is the real way to repay grievances with virtue. Master, do you think our Master Lin is very good? ..."

Li Si sighed incomparably.

As for how miserably a group of relatives and friends of the Lin family were cleaned up in private, the so-called "help" was simply someone from Lin who worked part-time, and it was enough for the family members to know about it.

"Yes, you are right."

Faced with the brainwashing and brainwashing of Lin's die-hard fans, Mr. Zhang, who had nowhere to find fault, stroked his beard, feeling very depressed.

After wandering around Heba Village with Li Si for a long time, Master Zhang had no choice but to rush back to the academy.

Although Heba Village is very close to the academy, after he had been shopping for so long, Lin Ze and others had already come out of the library when he returned to the academy.

Lin Ze stared at Master Zhang who was "left behind" and smiled meaningfully. He didn't say much, but took everyone to the staff dormitory of the academy to settle down.

This was requested by his emperor's teacher and several ministers. Compared with the changes outside, they are obviously more interested in the academy for the court to educate talents. Every student here may become someone they will work with in their lifetime.

Therefore, if you want to know the specific atmosphere and situation of the academy, you can only really understand it by living in the academy for a period of time. The environment of the academy is very good, and everyone does not dislike it.

After the place to live was arranged, there was no reception banquet at noon, so they had to have a good meal in the evening.

Lin Ze arranged the things in his hands without being too luxurious or extravagant, so he cooked the table dishes by himself in the small kitchen of the academy, and then notified Duan Wensai and Zhang Yu to take the three children over to accompany him.

Originally, it would not be good to call Shang Fulang on such an occasion where all men are present, but Han Yunzhi is here, and the other party is also a younger brother, so Zhang Yu is naturally required to attend and accompany him. There is no way for the three children to eat without father and father. The inertia of eating is helpless.

But the three children are actually very obedient and sensible. When they arrived at the table and said hello to a few old grandpas, they obediently did not make noise and prepared to eat with special small chopsticks.

Only Lin Dongdong was more courageous and spent more time with the old emperor. After getting his master's permission, he climbed onto his body, opened his mouth and acted like a baby to the old emperor to feed him.

It was rare for the old emperor to be so close to children. He wanted to hug those grandchildren and princesses in the palace, but those children were very scared when they saw him. He likes it very much, but he feeds it patiently.

This treatment opened the eyes of several ministers who were traveling with them again, and gained a new understanding of the emperor's love and indulgence for the Lin family.

Lin Ze has always loved Lin Dongdong the most. Not only did he not feel frightened seeing his little darling on the old emperor, but he was also very happy, thinking that his little darling was just popular.

Of course, although he doesn't fear his teacher the emperor like everyone else, he still has respect as a disciple, and he keeps serving food for others.

"Teacher, how do you taste this plate of meat, please comment..."

Lin Ze put a piece of unrecognizable meat into Sheng Yongxuan's bowl.

I don’t know what kind of meat that dish is. In fact, Sheng Yongxuan saw it just now, but because it was placed far away, he didn’t taste it because he was concerned about etiquette, and the minister who had a chopstick next to him tasted it. I picked it up again, I guess the taste should not suit the taste.

But relying on his trust in his disciple's craftsmanship, Sheng Yongxuan tasted it with anticipation.

Then... the emperor's face turned a little green, and he felt that he had been fooled by his disciples again.

Seeing this, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Teacher, do you think the taste is not very good?"

Looking at his expression, Sheng Yongxuan didn't know that he did it on purpose, but after getting along with him for so many years, he also knew what kind of temperament his apprentice had, so there must be some good news for this behavior.

"The taste is indeed not very good, but it can still be eaten. The meat is a little like chicken, and a little like goose, and the meat is a bit old... Tell me, what are you doing, kid."

"If you don't have a good name, how dare you bring it to hang around in front of you, teacher? But before you say it, teacher, you have to praise me first."

Sure enough, someone from Lin immediately began to shout.

Several fellow ministers: ...

Sheng Yongxuan shook his head helplessly, and casually took out three pieces of warm jade engraved with the word "Sheng" from his waist, and brought them to the three children of the Lin family respectively, so he didn't feel good about it.

"It's fine to praise you. You don't praise, and when you praise, you will be slapped. It makes me want to beat you. I prepared a gift for the three little ones. One piece of jade is exchanged for a promise from the teacher's house. You kid has made money again. "

A piece of jade and a royal promise, that is really a big profit.

Lin Ze smiled happily,

"Teacher, I just want you to praise me. You are so lucky. I chose to spend so much money to avoid boasting. The students did not accept such an expensive gift in vain. As a reward, the students researched a new thing. I don’t know if the teacher has it Are you interested?"

"It's this plate of meat?" Sheng Yongxuan guessed.

"Yes, it's this plate of meat. Teacher, don't underestimate it. With it, the lives of the people of Daji will be greatly improved in the future."

Lin Ze put the blueprints he had prepared earlier on the ground,

"Teacher, the students haven't chosen a name for this meat, so let's call it Nanyang Chicken for the time being. This is a new breed that was jointly researched by the students and a few old gentlemen from the academy, using the turkey from Nanyang and our local broiler. chicken."

"The turkey in Nanyang is famous for its big size. It is a very important source of meat in Nanyang, but the taste is a bit old and old. We Daji people are used to the local broiler chicken and are not used to that kind of taste, but this kind of chicken It still has very rich meat nutrition..."

"So the students and some old gentlemen from the academy introduced some Nanyang turkeys, and tried to crossbreed them with our local broiler chickens in Daji to see if we could breed a breed that combines the advantages of the two chickens. I didn't expect it to be really successful. Now this kind The hybrid chickens are bigger and taste slightly better."

In fact, this kind of hybrid turkey Lin Ze was also whimsical at the beginning. He just wanted to see if it could be successfully bred, and he didn't hold out much hope. But he didn't expect that he succeeded by mistake in the end, and a new breed was hybridized.

He was completely forced to have this idea. In this era, all technologies are backward, and the breeding industry simply cannot provide the same supply as in modern times. Even if the people in Qingshan County have become rich now, they still cannot achieve the level that every household can eat meat every day. .

Scarcity is the most precious thing, and everyone is reluctant to eat the chickens and ducks they raise, and rushes to sell them to make money.And the cafeteria of the academy has long been worried about buying meat.

That's why Lin Ze has the idea and action of introducing and cultivating excellent hybrid breeds, and the rest of the breeding of pigs, cattle, etc. is also vigorously developed.

"If this kind of hybrid turkey meat can be accepted and eaten by the people in Daji, the demand for meat of the people who breed in large quantities will be much better. The youth is strong, the country is strong, and the people's livelihood is the foundation of people's livelihood, teacher, This is what I always tell you about technology..."

Lin Ze explained in detail.

Several ministers have been stunned for a long time, never thought that people can do these things.

Is this guy a devil!How did he come up with the idea of ​​letting those Nanyang turkeys lay eggs with their Daji local broilers?Will this guy think of sending them to some technology on a whim someday? !

No one has ever seen such a cruel and weird-minded person like Lin Ze, a group of old guys suddenly looked a little strange.

Sheng Yongxuan has been checked for drugs for many years, and he has developed a steel-like acceptance ability, smiling,

"How long has it been cultivated? Are you sure there is no problem with the meat?"

"It's been almost five years, and I started doing it when I was in Nanyang Tonghuo. I have done experiments with various livestock, and there is no problem at all, and the livestock that have eaten this chicken are much healthier..."

Lin Ze nodded. He was also afraid of making something strange, so these clinical experiments will naturally be done.

In fact, in addition to domestic animals, there are some volunteers who have tried it before confirming that there is no problem.These volunteers were all recruited privately. They were originally studying various medicines to enhance the medical technology of this era, so they were used for experiments when they encountered this.

Clinical trials are an indispensable and important step. For the advancement of the times and technology, these volunteers have made great contributions.

Of course, based on humanitarianism, these volunteers, Lin Ze, chose people who would not live long due to various reasons, and those who were strong and greedy for rewards were all rejected. After all, he is not a strange doctor. human.

"Then start from Qingshan County and follow the old plan to promote it step by step."

Sheng Yongxuan can see the benefits brought by this hybrid turkey, which can greatly improve the lives of the people.

However, for the sake of safety, it is better to approach this kind of risky things step by step from a small scale and steadily.As for government primary schools, which are obviously beneficial and harmless, they must be implemented quickly and on a large scale.

"Teacher, don't worry, students understand."

Lin Ze nodded. He didn't know how many times he had been an experimental guinea pig over the years, and he wasn't afraid to do it again. Anyway, their Qingshan County was originally a real political base, and they were the first to bear the brunt.

The next half a month.

Sheng Yongxuan and his party stayed in Qingshan County, lived in the academy, ate in the cafeteria, and did nothing special.

On a whim, he held several titles of 'professor', wandered around the academy every day, and then gave a few lessons to the students, just like ordinary gentlemen in the academy, living a relaxed and happy life.

Everyone has to admit that although Lin Ze's temper and ideals don't please them, he is indeed a talent with a lot of ghost ideas, and he is indeed a person who really does things for the people. He thinks and thinks from the people. .

This is the state of mind of a few highly respected veterans in the court. If it is not for the interest, they believe that they will respect 'Master Lin' like those ordinary people.

No wonder His Majesty favors him so much, because Lin Ze is a centrist in the true sense. He is loyal to the emperor, cares about people's livelihood, and has outstanding abilities. If such a talent is not favored by the emperor, who else should he trust?
