Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

In the early morning two days later, there was still a fresh and fresh breath in the air.

Jing Xingzhi, a junior civil servant of the seventh grade, brought two recruited literate people, and stood in front of the courtyard of the village chief's house in Chaming Village, which he was in charge of.

The little civil official looked at the poor and shabby yard everywhere, and his mind was empty.

He was going to do something that he didn't dare to think about later, so he was too scared.

But soon, Mr. Jing's encouragement and affirmation, as well as the set of rhetoric flashed skillfully in his mind, and he regained his spirits.He thought about it countless times on the road, and he would never forget it.

One of the two recruited took a step forward and knocked on the courtyard door of the village chief's house for the little civil official.

The little civil official couldn't help straightening his back, feeling a little happy that he was also a "Master Official" who was taken care of.

You must know that before this trip, he was still a small official of the eighth rank, and he could not even reach the threshold of the seventh rank sesame official.

As the little civil official thought about it, he couldn't help feeling more confident in his immediate boss, Jing Tongzhi.

It will definitely work!The little civil servant cheered himself up.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with a wrinkled face appeared in the yard. The old man was holding a rice bowl filled with half a bowl of porridge and water.

Seeing the official uniform on the little civil servant, the old man bent slightly, and asked with a nervous smile, "My lords, what can you do with the little old man?"

"Are you the village chief of Chaming Village?"

The old man nodded in panic, his eyes widened: "Yes, the little old man is the village head, surnamed Mu. This... But what happened?"

"Don't worry, Chief Kim, nothing happened."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be more flustered than he was, the little civil official finally calmed down: "I am the official in charge of education in the lower village. I will come down to find out about the situation of the literate people and scholars in the village."

"Oh." Village Chief Kim heaved a sigh of relief, remembering that he was still standing at the door, he hurriedly stepped aside, "My lord, come in and talk, sit and talk, sit and talk!"

The little civil official followed good advice and entered the house of the head of the village.

After entering the door, I found out that although there are many people in the whole big village, there are not many people who can read and write.

Because there are few people who can read and write, whenever there is anything to do, I can go to the few people in the village to check. Most of the time, other people don't go to the city.

Seeing that the little civil servant frowned, the village chief Mu rubbed his hands, and said with a naive smile, "Our village is similar to other villages! It's expensive to get into school, and the people in our village are poor, and they couldn't take the scientific examination to be an official before, so the people who study are just like that." several."

The little civil official thought for a while and asked: "Now that the scientific examination is available, if we run a school, how many people will be willing to come to study?"

Village head Mu shook his head: "I'm afraid there is not much, no money, our village is poor."

As he said that, the old man looked around his house, as if to prove that the whole village was poor, for fear that someone would take away the money.

The little civil official looked at Village Chief Mu and asked a little ignorantly: "Then if each person has ten copper coins, how about teaching them to read?"

"What?! Ten copper coins can teach you how to read? Don't you need several taels?" Village Chief Kim's old face was full of surprise.

Seeing his reaction like this, the little civil official breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "The adults in the government office saw that all the villages are not rich, so they specially offered a discount. One class for ten coins per person, teaching a hundred characters."

Village head Mu listened, and in his heart he planned to send his grandchildren, anyway, it was only a few tens of pennies.

And it won't take long to learn only a few hundred characters, and it won't affect the work in the fields and mountains.

If he really wants his grandson to study for ten or eight years, it will cost several hundred taels, which is unaffordable, but is a few tens of pennies not enough?

A grandson who knows how to read can go to work in the city, and a granddaughter who knows how to read can marry well!What a thing!

Village head Kim thought about his four grandsons and two granddaughters, and sixty fen was a lot, so he asked, "Then what characters do you teach?"

"It's useful. The daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea at home, father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother. The characters in each issue are different, but they are all useful. Teach ten characters a day, and two quarters of an hour is enough. Work will not be affected."

The little civil official blushed when he said these words.

Without him, the previous rhetoric is to recognize the truth, to be an official through the imperial examination, to honor the ancestors.Comparable to the current practicality, it sounds like I don’t know how much taller it is.

Unexpectedly, the old man nodded instead: "That's fine! When everyone is at home in the evening, the little old man will tell the villagers, and then tell the adults the number of heads later."

The little civil official was very pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of the matter, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, Village Chief Mu, I have to go to the next two villages to see, you should do your work first."

Village head Kim looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes moved unusually nimbly on his old face: "Are the three adults in charge of three villages? Our village has the most people, and there must be many people who have learned from it. We need the most powerful gentlemen."

The little civil official smiled: "Then I'll come in person, Village Chief Mu, don't worry." Village Chief Mu was very cooperative, and the small civil official was willing to give more face.

The first step is to walk down.

Leaving Chaming Village, the little civil servant smiled happily, feeling extremely relieved.

At the same time, his heart calmed down, thinking about the difference between going to Dingbei this time and going back to the southern mountainous area.

The last time he went out was to educate the mountain people, and he followed Master Hong.

The mountain people speak the mountain dialect, but they can't understand it, and they are very repulsive to outsiders.Even if they taught things for free at that time, they were not willing to go.

Later, Master Hong saw that he was not making any progress, so he changed the school for him to a school divided between Shanmin and Li Chao's old people.

The result is still not optimistic. A group of students came on the first day, half of the second day, and half again on the third day.

The difference between the two is that what they teach is completely different.One is a daily word that is so simple and vulgar that scholars don't like it, and the other is an enlightenment book for scholars to start learning.

On the one hand, the little civil official felt that he had failed the saint a little, and felt that he had lost his identity, but at the same time, he was secretly happy that he could get five cents for teaching two students.

Can get extra money and send it back.Even if he is not at home, the life of E Mu, Fu Lang and the children will be better, right?

other places.

Most of Jing Xingzhi's subordinates, like small civil servants, put aside their face and turned free into low-cost charges.

Some people think about money, some people really think that it is best to be practical, and the other part is reluctant to do things, and it is not easy to disobey God's orders.

Similarly, there are also two people who are obedient and obedient, saying that they are good and good, but in fact they are still the same old way.Due to the fact that Dingbei was once the land of the Li Dynasty, most of the people are old people, and they are happy to accept reading.

But when I heard that there was no money, my heart skipped a beat, and I always felt that something was wrong.

After listening to what principles to learn, the thoughts and theories of saints, I lost a lot of thought.

It took a long time to learn the last question, and I lost my mind a little bit.

At the end of the chat, although the officials had a good attitude, many village chiefs thought the other party was sick.

Everyone in the family can't get enough to eat after working hard. How can they have free time to provide for their children to read books for several years.

Reading in the morning, reading in the morning, and reading in the afternoon, how much it affects work!

*****

Jing Xingzhi himself was still on the road, and the village he was assigned to was the furthest away, and he was almost close to Anbei.

In the evening of that day, a group of people arrived at their destination and settled in a village named Yinggu.

Because it is at the junction of the two places and far away from the city, the villages here are naturally poorer.

How poor is it?The only remaining houses are a few thatched huts and dilapidated earthen huts, which cannot be accommodated at all.

Many carriages are big enough to live in them.

For example, Jing Xingzhi, the carriage was big enough, and after negotiating with the village head of Yinggu Village, he went back to the carriage to rest.

On the second day, Jing Xingzhi left two people in Yinggu Village, and they were responsible for the enlightenment of Yinggu Village, while he led people to the next village.

When you arrive at the place, you don't have to hurry, and the specific distribution will be much faster.

Jing Xingzhi led all the newcomers, and he went out to discuss each village in person, and he was in charge of the remaining Sanlian villages.

The name of Sanlian Village is Sanlian. It is located on the edge of a barren mountain. It is so poor that there are fewer and fewer people in the village. They decided to cooperate with one of the three villages to avoid being bullied because of the lack of people.

After the union, the three villages have fewer people and more land, and life is better, but the work is still hard.

When Jing Xingzhi arrived, it was noon and the village head was still busy in the field.

Hearing that an official was looking for him, Wang Daniu, the head of Sanlian Village in his prime, rubbed his hands on his clothes, wiped his face, and went home muttering.

When Wang Daniu returned home, he saw an official who was about the same age as his son, and said with a silly smile: "Sirs, you have been waiting for a long time. I don't know what's going on in our village? Can you come in and talk?"

While Wang Daniu was leading people into the house, he glanced at Jing Xingzhi's official uniform, thinking how high-ranked is this official?Why do you look so young?

Jing Xingzhi seemed to see through his mind, and said: "The next Jing Xingzhi is an acquaintance in Dingbei, and he is listed as a fifth-rank official."

Wang Daniu's eyes became the eyes of the only cow in the village, the boss!

Wang Daniu sized up the official, and said in shock: "Sir, you are a fifth-rank official at such a young age?! What is it really...you are young and promising!"

Jing Xingzhi smiled modestly: "No. I look young."

Li Jiarui followed Jing Xingzhi, glanced at the surname Jing, thinking that it is really rare to be a fifth-rank official at this age.

But why didn't the emperor let him go to court, but let this guy who was younger than him be an acquaintance?

It must be because my mind is too simple, not as thoughtful as this person.

Li Jiarui decided to follow Jing Xingzhi every step of the way, watching the other party closely, breaking apart the other party's behavior little by little, and seeing how Jing Xingzhi could deceive the favor of the villagers.

That's right, although he has just arrived in this village, Li Jiarui already feels that in the last village, the whole village will only know that Jing Xingzhi is good.Because the surname Jing has always been a good person.

And he, Li Jiarui, had to open his eyes wide to see clearly how Jing Xingzhi lied!

Li Jiarui looked at Jing Xingzhi and talked with Wang Daniu with a smile, and fooled Wang Daniu with a few words, made Wang Daniu happy when he was unhappy, and was willing to spend ten cents for his youngest son to attend classes.

Wang Daniu also nodded: "In the evening, everyone will go back to the house. I will let people run around in three places to let everyone know! But can they be divided into three places for classes, otherwise it will be a waste of time running around!"

After going back and forth, one of Jing Xing's group was led to rest in the vacant house left in the village.

After watching the whole process, Li Jiarui felt that everything was logical, as if... It seemed that Jing was really a good person?

In the other party's mouth, every sentence is for the good of the old village, and every sentence is reasonable!

Li Jiarui frowned, and waited for the guards to help him arrange his luggage, only then did he realize the problem: "The imperial court educates? Why do you still need to charge money!"

His former husband said that it was because no one was willing to go to school that the imperial education officials existed to reduce the burden on the border residents...

But Jing Xingzhi's collection of money was incredibly smooth? !
