Farming and teaching across different worlds

, there is no one who has the means to backstage, these people, these petty officials, it is better not to offend them.

Ji Xiuran had no choice but to take the official document, took out some silver to thank the little official, and sent him away.

This person had just sent him off, when another soldier in military uniform greeted him, took out an official document, and said, "Is there a military master Shi Jingchen here?" Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen turned their heads to look at him at the same time, who Xiao Bing stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said loudly, "But Master Shi Jingchen?"

Shi Jingchen nodded and said, "I'm Shi Jingchen, but I'm not some military master."

"Then I don't know. I was ordered to deliver official documents to Shi Jingchen. As long as your name is Shi Jingchen, it's for you." After speaking, he handed the official documents to Shi Jingchen, and Shi Jingchen had no choice but to take them.

"The official documents have been delivered, so I'll go first." After speaking, he turned and mounted his horse to leave.

Ji Xiuran hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, little brother, I asked my family to bring some good wine to my brother, thank you at that time, brother might as well wait for a while." After finishing speaking, he signaled Youfu to go to the house to get a jar of wine. .

The soldier stopped when he heard that there was wine.Ji Xiuran took the opportunity to step forward and asked, "I don't know where the younger brother got his job, but where did he come from."

"I am a messenger soldier under the command of General King of the Ministry of War, and I am from the Ministry of War."

"Then who issued this official document, do you know?"

"I'm only in charge of delivering letters, I don't know anything else." Ji Xiuran saw that this little soldier didn't know much, so he gave him the wine and sent him away.

The two of them held a document in each hand, and looked at each other with frowns.Finally Ji Xiuran said: "Forget it, go back first, read what is written in the official document, and then make plans."

After entering the room, the two of them opened the official document and looked at it carefully. Ji Xiuran's official document was the official document of serving as the magistrate of Songxian County, a county town in Mozhou, the northernmost part of Songxian County.Mozhou is the northernmost state capital of the Xia Kingdom bordering the Northern Qiang.It's really a complex terrain and mixed forces, so it's not a good place to go.After reading it, Ji Xiuran wondered if he offended that big shot unintentionally, that's why he teased him like this.

However, Shi Jingchen's official document named him the head of a hundred households under the command of General Zuo Wing Wang of the Dingbei Army.This Dingbei Army is the army stationed in Mozhou.It seems that the person behind this is someone who knows that Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen care about.Ji Xiuran frowned, pursed his lips and remained silent.These two official documents seem quite strange, especially Shi Jingchen's. How can a small hundred households need official documents issued by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and they were transferred from the capital all the way, how strange to think.

Seeing him troubled, Shi Jingchen comforted him and said, "Xiu Ran, since you're here, you'll be safe, at least we're still together."

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran still didn't relax his brows, took the official document, read it again carefully and said: "I remember that soldier said he was under General Wang, and this official document is also a General Wang, I wonder if there are any of these two generals?" what relationship?"

After hearing what he said, Shi Jingchen took the official document over and read it again and said, "I remember Brother Wang once said that his family has a cousin in the Ministry of War. Maybe we can ask him about it."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran nodded, loosened his brows a little, sighed and said: "This has messed up all my plans, I have to talk to my elder brother when I see him later, my parents know if I will come back or not." After leaving, I must be very disappointed.”

Shi Jingchen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much about Xiuran, the family will definitely support Xiuran."

When Ji Xiuran talked to Brother Ji and the others, Brother Ji was very excited when he heard that his younger brother was appointed as the county magistrate, and he did not have the unbearable and reluctance that Ji Xiuran imagined.This made Ji Xiuran feel even more depressed.

It was still Dahong who said, "So my uncle can't go home. Where is Song County? Is it far away? When does my uncle say he can go home?"

Ji Xiuran glanced at Dahong moved, thinking that he really didn't hurt this eldest niece in vain, "Song County is further north, far away from our Qingshan Village, even farther than the capital city. In the past three years, it is impossible for my uncle Back to Qingshan Village."

After hearing this, Dahong said regretfully: "Well, then we will all miss my uncle very much."

Ji Xiuran smiled and touched Dahong's head and said, "Uncle will miss you too."

I think that when I first met Da Hong, she was a ten-year-old skinny yellow-haired girl, and now she has grown into a slim young girl. When he returns to Qingshan Village, he may have already married and had children.Ji Xiuran felt a little sentimental in an instant.

Seeing Ji Xiuran's sad face, Dahong comforted him: "Uncle, don't be sad, we can go and see you when Uncle arrives." Nothing, they can go as long as they want.

"Forget it, the terrain is steep and the situation is complicated, so don't take any risks. I can go home to see you when my uncle's three-year term ends."

Chapter 78

Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen had new appointments, so they had to prepare for their duties and arrange their family affairs.

He took out the money box and counted his deposits. The ones he had brought with him before and the ones that were gradually added later made a total of more than 4000 silver. He took out 3000 taels of it, and took the formula and construction method of the brick kiln he prepared to visit. Gongsun Zizhan.He was planning to go to Gongsun Zizhan before he left and ask him to introduce some good craftsmen to bring back to build the academy, but now this plan is not feasible, but he still needs to ask him to help introduce the manpower for the academy.

Gongsun Zizhan works in the Ministry of Industry, so he must have contacts in this area, but now he can't go back, but the craftsman still needs to be found, and he has to ask Gongsun Zizhan to introduce him to a skilled craftsman who is in charge of large-scale construction projects.

After Ji Xiuran saw Gongsun Zizhan tell his purpose, he looked at Gongsun Zizhan.

Gongsun Zizhan pondered and said: "It's not that there are such people, but they are not very easy to invite. Brother, I can help you talk about it."

Ji Xiuran took out the prepared things and pushed them to him.Gongsun Zizhan took it over and looked at it, his eyes widened in surprise, and after thinking about it, he thought it was a little funny, thinking that the third prince was really right, and Ji Xiuran was really tricky.Knows how to drill and calculate, but is very good at grasping, so that people will not find it annoying.

"Brother Xiuran couldn't refuse this thing that Xiuran offered." Gongsun Zizhan picked up the formula and put it away carefully, then returned the banknote and continued, "But I can't accept this banknote. What does Xiuran want?" If you ask, tell me."

Ji Xiuran knew what he meant, and Gongsun Zizhan must know something about the inside story of his appointment as an official, but it's hard to say clearly, Ji Xiuran didn't mean to embarrass him, shook his head, and just asked about the situation in Song County.

Gongsun Zizhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Song County has a special geographical location. It is the only place through which border towns lead to the interior. There has been no county magistrate for three years. The post of county magistrate has been temporarily replaced by the county magistrate Zhang Mian."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuran frowned. Seeing that the situation in Song County was more complicated than expected, Ji Xiuran saluted Gongsun Zizhan and thanked him: "Brother Zizhan, thank you for letting me know, and I will leave now."

Gongsun Zi looked back and said: "Xiu Ran doesn't need to be too polite. If you have any difficulties, you can write to let me know. If you can help, I will definitely help you."

Gongsun Zizhan could have foreseen the difficult situation in Song County, that's why he made such a generous promise. After all, the one who pushed Ji Xiuran into this situation has his own responsibility. He didn't strongly recommend him at the beginning. The third prince would not notice the two of them, and there would be no current award.

After Ji Xiuran left, Gongsun Zizhan took these good things to the third prince, and asked the third prince to come forward to solve Ji Xiuran's matter.

"This Ji Xiuran, he didn't bring out these good things sooner." The counselor next to the Third Prince couldn't help complaining that this new method of firing bricks and tiles saves man-hours and is low in cost, although it is not as durable as those made by traditional crafts , but for the majority of the people, such bricks and tiles are enough.These good things that can accumulate popular support are what the Third Prince needs most.

"If you take it out early, how can I negotiate with you and get benefits." The third prince joked when he saw that Fang Zi was in a relaxed mood.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zizhan also felt helpless and funny, and said: "Then Ji Xiuran's request should be handled by the lord, the ability of the lower officials is limited."

"Let's just explain this trivial matter to the next one." The third prince heard the joke in his words, and gave him a dissatisfied sideways glance.Gongsun Zizhan pretended not to see it.

The official document required [-] days to arrive at the post, and Ji Xiuran didn't have time to go back to Qingshan Village, so he had to explain the arrangements before leaving.He handed over the person he wanted from Gongsun Zizhan to Brother Ji, and wrote three letters and sent them out, one to Father Ji, one to Mr. Xi, and one to Senior Brother Lu.

Father Ji is in charge of the land and hills at home, Mr. Xi is in charge of the academy, laboratory, and school for the time being, and Brother Lu is asking him to recruit people from the current students. He puts everything in the letter one by one. Write it clearly, and explain it to Brother Ji, so you can rest assured.He also took out the 3000 taels that he brought to Gongsun Zizhan but didn’t take it, and took 2000 taels for the expenses of building the academy, and told Brother Ji to keep the income from the family’s fields and hills in the future. He and Shi Jingchen have salaries, and Zeng Junhui's business income is enough.

In addition to the dividends from Zhenxie Pavilion, Zeng Junhui also has the income from greenhouse vegetables. During the two months before the Spring Festival, Zeng Junhui
