Dress to be a celebrity

The only one in the world and the second in this dynasty, Sanyuan sells himself to raise money, and the effect is not so good.

Ma Tongzhi personally hosted a banquet and invited big families in the county to raise funds. Before launching the Sanyuan Academy, he only said that Mr. Song wanted to set up a workshop outside the city to resettle the refugees, and he was willing to pledge to lose.

Mr. Song has been in office for many days, and he has not been invited by any big family, or received gifts from anyone. These rich families are anxious that they can't make friends with him.Now I heard that he is willing to ask for money, no matter why he wants it, everyone will give it willingly, no matter how much they want, as long as it can be exchanged for a chance to make friends with Song Sanyuan.

When Mr. Yan was in office, it was not as easy as it is now to raise hundreds of silver to build bridges, pave roads, and give relief to victims of disasters.

Hearing the pledged amount, he was happy, but at the same time felt a little sad—three yuan and first grades are different. Mr. Yan also came from the second-class Jinshi, and he and Yuan Tongpan were both from the first-class department. He wanted to find these Why is it not so easy for big households to raise some money?

What is even more poignant is that there are still a few wealthy businessmen who are worried that Mr. Song will be an official in a different place alone, with no one to serve him, and are willing to offer their beloved daughters and handsome children as domestic pets.

They also especially understand that Lord Song and Lord Huan are affectionate, as long as they can enter the prefect's back office to serve the dustpan, they don't ask for fame.

Ma Tongzhi sneered.

Don't ask for fame?

How refined it is, it seems that with the willow posture of their children, they can really win Master Song's love and pets!

Don't even look at who is accompanying their lords——

That is the grandson of the former elder, a No. 10 young Jinshi in the first division and second grade, who can become a fourth-rank minister in his twenties. How could the children of a few ordinary wealthy families compare him to him!

What's more, there is no man in this world who is not jealous.Just before Lord Song came to office, Huan Qianxian personally led the troops to welcome the faction of six hundred miles. This man dared to enter the government office, and the fellow judges and judges on the back foot were all tried by the Yushi Yamen. up!

Mr. Ma judged others by himself, thinking about what would happen to him if he took a concubine back to the Yamen, he deeply felt that he could not invite this disaster back for Mr. Fu Zun, so he immediately rejected these people for him: "Our Mr. Huan Qianxian's young husband and wife have a deep friendship, how can they allow others to intervene? You have all collected these thoughts and used them on the right path. Who has children who can read at a young age—"

When it comes to "children who can read at a young age", the eyes of the heads of several scholarly aristocratic families are bright, and they have some guesses in their hearts, but they hold back and dare not speak out.

I'm afraid they think too high, and they will make people laugh when they say it.

Ma Tongzhi glanced around the hall, and seeing the expressions of hope and disbelief on the faces of everyone, he knew that the money raised this time would be enough to make him very honorable in front of Master Song and even the king of Zhou.

He smiled slightly, and said with emotion in the direction of the government office: "Master Song has not seen guests, held banquets, and kept close to each other since he came to Hanzhong these days. He only cares about our Hanzhong government. Considering this, how can we not think about the gentry and common people in this government?

"Lord Song personally told this official that if there is still money left after the residence of refugees is built in the mansion, an academy will be built to recruit students from the mansion, and there will be no discrimination in education, so as to make Hanzhong the first culturally prosperous place in Northwest China!"

real? !

If so...that would be great!

Since there is no discrimination in teaching, doesn't it mean that even children who are usually not good at school, as long as they are parents willing to donate or lose, they can have the opportunity to have their children personally taught by Mr. Song?

There have never been any famous scholars in their northwest, and their children have to go abroad to study in order to find famous teachers.It is rare for Song Sanyuan to come here as an official, and what is even more rare is that he is willing to run an academy to teach. If these children can get Sanyuan to mention a few words, the chances of the mid-term examination will definitely increase greatly in the future!Even if it's not material for reading, isn't it an honor for a lifetime to have read a book under the seat of Sanyuan?

He is a talented man of three yuan and rank, even if he cannot be reused in this court, he will definitely return to the court when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, and he will enter the cabinet at some point. If they can have a son who becomes a student of the old man ...

Donating tens of millions of dollars is not too much!

These big households originally only wanted to curry favor with the Xinfu Zun, send some money and beauties to please him, but now they really want to get away.Not only willing to donate money, but also the craftsmen who built the house, to build a garden for refugees as soon as possible, and build a good academy comparable to those famous academies in the south, so that Mr. Song can feel at ease and start lectures earlier.

Ma Tongzhi's harvest from this solicitation feast far exceeded expectations. Looking at the money and materials pledged by everyone, it was as if he saw the beautiful comments on the year-end report card, and saw the expressions of satisfaction on the faces of Mr. Song, Huan Qianxian and even King Zhou.

Satisfied, he returned home with the pledge list to see Mr. Song, and explained the reactions of the various families at the banquet, and advised him to look at this valuable pledge list and see these soldiers. On the side of the wealthy households in the township.

Although their prefect yamen have a high status and do not need to rely on gentry everywhere like the county yamen, but these people all admire him. If they get some feedback from him, they will try their best to encourage him in the future.

Yuan Tongpan and Cheng Ching also had a lot of friendship with the local gentry, and they also advised him to adopt Ma Tongzhi's advice and see those big households as a reward for their donation.

Since the Song Dynasty established this meeting system, and it was democratic even when it was not authoritarian, it agreed smoothly: "Since the three virtuous brothers urged, and the local gentry is willing to support the official affairs of the government in this way, if I don't see them, I can't do it." Feeling heartless. But the brothers also know that I have a family. Nowadays, it is not suitable for people like me to have some boys and girls at banquets outside. So we have to meet, and I have to choose a suitable time to meet. Place."

Since they wanted to help him build the project, they sent the plaster and craftsmen first—the carpenters and ordinary masons were reserved for him, and those who painted columns, carved algae wells, and built gardens were sent directly to Zhou Wangfu.

At the foundation stone laying ceremony of the "Hanzhong Economic Park", he will invite rich gentry and wealthy households who donated money at the banquet as guests of honor, and pick the three who donated the most to cut the ribbon with their prefectural and county officials.

Ma Tongzhi and the three praised him very much: "My lord, this 'Hanzhong Economic Park' has a good name. It is famous because the magistrate respects your lord's heart of caring for the people of Hanzhong, and his ambition to help the people. I will post a post to call them Arrange craftsmen, prepare money and food materials, carve stone tablets, and hold the foundation laying ceremony of this garden and park as soon as possible!"

Song Shi came up with so many modern names, and this was the first one to be recognized and praised. He was a little flattered, nodded and said: "Since the three virtuous brothers all said that this name is good, then decide on this name." I’m done. I’ll think about the foundation stone laying ceremony again, write it down, and let’s have a big one.”

Calling the yin and yang in the mansion a good day, ordering stone monuments, finding musicians, setting up a stage, arranging meals... Finally, Huan Qianxian was invited to speak at the scene and cut the ribbon to add luster to this grand ceremony.

He found a clerk to arrange these matters, and called Nanzheng County to inquire about the progress of the refugee registration work.

Zhu Chong, the magistrate of Nanzheng County, has been worried about the fact that the two adults were almost assassinated by refugees. He pleaded guilty to him several times, and even made the identification of refugees a top priority.When he returned to the government office to reply, he had found many refugees and fugitives living outside the city, and he had some confidence when he spoke, and said slowly: "The lower official has ordered the township and village chiefs inside and outside the city, and the wharf on the north bank of the Hanshui River to be in charge. Wait for careful investigation to identify hometown, identity, and whether there is any crime..."

He handed over a new volume of yellow booklets for the registration of refugees, the first half of which were newly exiled here due to the Tatar invasion of the south in the past two years, and some of them came here for food in the early years, and then settled in Hanzhong and never returned to their hometowns. .Some of them have even married into the local area, rented land, married wives and had children, and have a stable livelihood.

After he finished reporting the matter, he said with a wry smile: "If your lord hadn't reminded you in advance, the officials would not have noticed that there are so many refugees who were not sent back to their original places, but hid outside the city. Some of them were even identified as murder cases." The fugitives in the body, it was because when filling out the yellow book this time, some guards saw that their expressions were not right, so they arrested them, and it is unknown whether these people will commit crimes again in the future."

Song Shi looked down at the yellow book, and comforted him in a warm voice: "The past cannot be refuted, and those who come can still be pursued. County magistrate Zhu's yellow book is done very well, which shows his love for the people. Do those people have arrangements? Ben The official will lay the foundation and build the factory in a few days. You need to select a team of workers who will ram the earth and build the foundation. This matter will be handed over to you to select the manpower. Then choose some smart and discerning workers, and learn how to burn cement and weave bamboo tendons with the craftsmen I brought. ..."

The men are working on the construction site, and some strong women are selected to wash and cook for the workers on the construction site, and work will start soon.

He started arranging work within a few words of warmth, and oppressed the Nanzheng County Yamen as high-intensity and efficient operations as a government office.

Five days later, it was the auspicious day that Yin Yangsheng had chosen for the groundbreaking. Song Shi printed a post with his own hands and distributed it to wealthy businessmen who had made donations, inviting them to watch the ceremony at the location of the park.

Although the park hasn't been built yet, it's just a bare wild forest and wasteland by the river, Mr. Song arranged for people to build a high platform in advance, arranged seats for the venue, set up a tent for temporary rest, and even found a painter to draw a picture that is as tall as a person, A wall-long ink painting park planning map stands on the stage.

It is very simple, it is the level of the layout plan of a general community. Mr. Song personally drew a horizontal strip with a Sichuan character pattern on the top to be the river water.A few white squares are marked farther from the river, and the name is added to the factory building. The ink-painted square is the sewage pool, and the surrounding area is painted with dark and light ink to represent the trees and lawn. The empty space in the middle is the path of the factory room...

The two on-duty painters who were called were also skilled and dignified, and they almost refused to paint, forcing Mr. Song to increase their wages by 20 taels of silver, so they accepted the job aggrievedly, and refined Mr. Song's design. Several times are presented on the large list paper.

Although the small picture doesn’t look detailed enough, it doesn’t have a grandeur when it’s as tall as a person—anyway, I came here early in the morning to inspect the ceremony and monitor whether there is any power-money transaction between the Hanzhong Mansion and the local wealthy households. Master Yu Shihuan of Qiandu thought he was magnificent.

The roads of these houses are neat and tidy, and the arrangement is not like that of a village, but rather more rigorous than that of a city.Although the picture is very simple, it is set on the shore of the Han River at this time. The rolling Han River behind it reflects the rough drawing of the river on the picture. The square with the word "factory" in front of the river seems to stand out of the paper. , turned into rough but solid houses on the river beach in front of us.

Looking at this picture, it seems that a few years later, this wilderness will become an economic park where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is more like seeing the place where the Song Dynasty lived hundreds of years later.

He has always regretted not being able to see the place where Song Shi came from with his own eyes, but Si Shi Sijing relieved a little regret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:

That "future" new dynasty exists in Shi Guan'er's heart, and his Shi Guan'er is just an open-minded gentleman who is willing to learn and use the things of later generations for the sake of the people of the world.As long as he can protect Shi Guan'er and slowly build Hanzhong, one day, he will be able to see with his own eyes what the place Shi Guan'er grew up in is like!
