Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 93 Layout in advance, find a green leaf for the children

Threshing field in the village.

Seeing Zhu Di and Jiang Jinzhong approaching, the villagers spoke one after another.

"Shiro, I have already paid your land tax for you by the way."

"Thank you, Uncle Ba, I will deliver the food to you tomorrow."

"No hurry, no hurry..."

……

"Master Qingtian of Jiang County!"

"Jiang Xianzun..."

……

Jiang Jinzhong listened to the people's praise, with a round pancake face, he couldn't help but slightly turned to the sky, and kept nodding.

Deliberately walked in front of the statistic official, and said: "Don't take advantage of the common people!"

"No occupation, no occupation, really no occupation this time!"

"Yes, even the unsatisfactory food was taken away by us!"

……

The villagers hurriedly opened their mouths to speak for the officials and government servants.

What could be said made a group of officials bow their heads in embarrassment.

Zhu Di endured a smile and said: "Master Jiang, the folks are straightforward, and say what comes to mind without any malice. Yes, indeed, thank you sirs."

Although the words of the folks accidentally poked the lungs of many people.

But this time, I really thank these officials.

"Understand..." Jiang Jinzhong nodded with a wry smile.

Zhu Di smiled, and in order to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere, he changed the topic and asked Uncle Ba: "Uncle Ba, if you pay the Wudoutian tax, how much food can you screen out that is not full?"

"Little Ban Dou!" Eighth Uncle said distressedly, pointing to the Dou that held the grain under his feet.

Jiang Jinzhong looked down.

Zhu Di bent down and picked up some, smashed the outer seed coat with both hands, and showed it to Jiang Jinzhong, "Master Jiang, look, these unfulfilled seeds have been screened out, although they do not meet the standards for paying land taxes."

"But it's no worse than the broken rice sold by the rice shop, right?"

"Under the tax-subsidy system, the gentry urges to pay the land tax, not to mention charging an extra bucket, and even taking away the unsatisfactory grain."

"It is rumored that this kind of grain will be used by the gentry to feed poultry and livestock..."

snort!
With a slight sneer, Zhu Di continued, "In my opinion, most of them are classified as broken rice."

"If half a bucket of rice like this is left to the farmers, how many lives can be saved if they cook and eat the rice directly in the severe drought in spring."

"This rice is white, but after turning it around in their hands, I can see that every grain is covered with blood."

Jiang Jinzhong's face turned pale, and he nodded, "Mr. Zhu, I will clearly stipulate that the tax-included auction is for the selected unsatisfactory food to be left to the villagers."

"This news will be sent to all the farmers in Jiangning!"

"Master Jiang, the school is not far away." Zhu Di changed the subject and pointed to the public temple not far away.

A trace of excitement suddenly appeared on Jiang Jinzhong's face, and he said with a subtle smile: "If Mr. Zhu is at ease here, then let's go to the school to have a look."

"Opening a school for free is a charitable act!"

"As the county's parent officer, I should have given plaques to Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu."

"Don't!" Zhu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry to interrupt Fatty Jiang's proposal.

……

"The farmer is busy and has no overnight food; the weaver girl Bobo has few clothes to keep out the cold. Three meals a day, one should think of the pain of the farmer..."

As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the public ancestral hall, they heard the tender and clear voice of a child inside.

Jiang Jinzhong listened slightly, turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, is this the hundred-character motto of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty to encourage honesty? Are the children already at this level?"

Zhu Di said with a smile: "They are studying the "University" chapter now. My wife will occasionally tell them stories about famous people outside of books, so as to increase their understanding of what they have learned."

"Increase their knowledge."

Jiang Jinzhong nodded repeatedly and quickened his pace.

Stepping over the threshold of the public hall, he said loudly: "Make friends with virtue, never friends with righteousness. Take your share of wealth, and refrain from nameless wine..."

When the children heard the sound, they all stopped and turned their heads to look...

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di looked at each other and smiled.

"Always have a heart of self-denial, but keep your mouth closed. If you can follow my words, you will be rich and famous for a long time!" Jiang Jinzhong walked to the school gate, and just finished reciting the second half of the adage.

Smiling and solemnly bowing to Xu Miaoyun, "Mr. Xu is a good teacher!"

"Master Jiang praised you." Xu Miaoyun returned the salute with a modest smile, turned around and waved to the children, "This is the Lord Qingtian of this county you want to see, Master Jiang!"

what!
'I am the Master Qingtian that these children are eager to see! '

Jiang Jinzhong laughed suddenly, his whole face was almost squeezed together.

"Meet Master Jiang!" The children headed by Yang Dongxu turned around and bowed solemnly.

"No, no!" Jiang Jinzhong hurriedly smiled and asked the children to excuse him. After the children stood up straight, he turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Xu, you two have done a great deed!"

"If you don't give the two gentlemen a plaque, as a parent officer, I really, really..."

Zhu Di hurriedly opened his mouth, interrupting Jiang Jinzhong's idea of ​​sending the plaque, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, our husband and wife really don't like those things."

"Rather than sending a plaque, Mr. Jiang should say a few words to the children."

'Speech?I am happy!Even if you, Mr. Zhu, don’t say anything, I have to say a few words with the cheek! '

Jiang Jinzhong said happily in his heart, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said implicitly: "Is it suitable?"

"Suitable!"

Zhu Di smiled affirmatively, and then lowered his voice and said: "But Mr. Jiang must pay attention to it. It is good to mention more about studying. Don't just mention the ten-year cold window, just for the one-time gold list. We are worried that the children will be stressed and go astray."

"Understand, understand." Jiang Jinzhong glanced at the children, lowered his voice, and said with empathy: "I have a good family background, so I can persist in the exam. These children do not have my conditions."

"I have passed the exam."

Both Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were a little surprised.

Originally, they were really worried that Jiang Jinzhong insisted on instilling in the children that only fame and fame are the only words.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Jiang please."

Jiang Jinzhong nodded with a smile, tried to take a deep breath, retracted his big belly, made himself more solemn, and walked towards the podium.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun nodded to the children.

The children turned around and Banban was sitting down.

Jiang Jinzhong stood in front, looked into the eyes of dozens of children, and smiled at Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

Withdrawing his gaze, he said solemnly: "Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu asked me to say a few words to you. After that, I will not be the county magistrate of Jiangning County."

"It's a scholar."

"You are also scholars, and I am also a scholar, so we are exchanges between scholars..."

……

Seeing Jiang Jinzhong talking eloquently, Xu Miaoyun tilted her head slightly, and whispered with a smile: "Bringing this magistrate Jiang to the ancestral temple is not just to satisfy the magistrate Jiang's vanity, but also to give him a sense of honor?"

Zhu Di smiled, turned his head slightly, and whispered: "See it?"

He looked at these children, and continued to whisper: "Maybe some of these children will be able to obtain fame in the future, and also aim to develop in the officialdom and display their ambitions in life."

"But you and I both know the officialdom from ancient times to the present."

"They are not officials."

"It's not from a scholarly family either."

"There are no elders serving in the court, and no classmates and family friends..."

"In this case, even if one obtains fame, it is extremely difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom."

"Farmer's children, if they want to develop their official careers and fulfill their life aspirations in their official careers, they must cross the Flame Mountain during the dog days, not to mention a shade tree above their heads."

"It's just not even a tree leaf."

"Since they are their husbands, they have worked very hard. If we have this opportunity, let's find them a shade tree by the way."

"I have observed that Fatty Jiang is a nerd. After he became an official, he became a fan of officials with vanity."

"The character is not bad."

"I've mentioned him a few times. As long as he works hard and does these things well, his capital for promotion will be strong enough."

"The old man pays great attention to whether he has grassroots experience and whether he is willing to work hard. After the Yang Xian incident, the selection and appointment of officials pay more attention to these things."

"So, Fatty Jiang won't risk his life in the future, it's no problem to be a fourth or fifth rank."

Xu Miaoyun accepted the words with a smile, and said: "He is the parent officer of Jiangning County, and if he talks to the children today, this relationship will be established."

If the children go on official careers.

Their identities must not interfere.

Otherwise, it's not good for them, and it's even worse for the children!

It is a very good arrangement to find someone like Fatty Jiang in advance and take care of him in the future.

"You are a very qualified gentleman!"

Zhu Di smiled.

Jiang Jinzhong seemed to be a chatterbox, he talked for more than half an hour before stopping.

Satisfied, he came to Zhu Di with a smile, "Mr. Zhu, I've said everything I need to say, so don't disturb Mr. Xu teaching the children."

"At their age, with the opportunity to study, time is more precious than money."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Master Jiang, the children still have a little gift for you."

Jiang Jinzhong's eyes flashed, and he reminded at the same time: "I can't accept things that are too expensive."

"It's worthless." Zhu Di said with a smile, "It's just that the children have taken care of it. Thank you for collecting the land tax directly. If you save a bucket of rice, you can buy a lot of paper for the children."

"The kids should thank you."

At this time, Cailu, the youngest girl with big eyes, was sent out again.

He and a group of other children came with a big garland, and timidly said: "Master Jiang, we weaved this with our own hands and gave it to Qingtian Master Jiang!"

Jiang Jinzhong was almost insane.

Looking at the wreath in Cailu's hand, he hurriedly bent down and lowered his head.

Put your big head out there.

Cailu wanted to bring the wreath to Jiang Jinzhong's neck.

However, Jiang Jinzhong's head is too big.

Wearing the wreath on the head looks bigger, but wearing it around the neck makes the wreath a little smaller.

This funny scene made Xu Miaoyun hold back a smile and turn her head.

None of them had seen Jiang Jinzhong.

I didn't expect to be so fat and have such a big head.

When preparing the garland, it is made according to the size of an average person's head.

Zhu Di suppressed a smile, took a step forward, stretched out his hands to hold Jiang Jinzhong's protruding ears, and then put the wreath around his neck.

Jiang Jinzhong got up, looked down at the garland around his neck, reached out to touch it, and immediately grinned from the corners of his mouth to the base of his ears. It was a little small, but it didn't affect his stalwart image at all!

Follow Zhu Di to leave the school.

Jiang Jinzhong has completely drifted away, walking without looking ahead, looking down at the wreath, and reaching out to touch it from time to time.

Smiling, he touched and said, "Mr. Zhu, I understand what you mean."

"Don't worry, as long as they grow up, pass the imperial examination, and enter the official career, and I'm still an official in the court, just call these children today, Lord Qingtian, and send me flowers, I will help."

"I dare not promise anything else, but at least I will definitely not call them peasant children. In the officialdom, there is not even a leaf to shade them."

Zhu Di smiled and thanked solemnly: "I am here, first thank Mr. Jiang for the children."

This fat man realized that he wanted to find a shaded green leaf for the children.

He didn't realize it, but he was also satisfying his vanity!

It can only be said that Fatty Jiang feels very good about himself, and feels that these are all taken for granted, and he deserves them.

Of course, compared to many officials, Fatty Jiang is also qualified.
