Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 321 Stunning
As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent, even Sun Qi and Lu Shi were a little dumbfounded!

"Set up a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for the eternal..."

An old Confucian standing in the crowd repeated this sentence repeatedly, his whole body trembling with excitement, and tears fell down as he read it. Suddenly he knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Mrs. Wu really told me The voice of the generation, I have read the words of the sage! I am Youzhou, and the people of Youzhou are blessed!"

As he spoke, the old Confucian kowtowed three times in the direction where Su Yun was standing.

The country has always given preferential treatment to scholars. Once they have achieved fame, they will not worship officials. Even if they meet the emperor, except for the big court meeting, sacrificial ceremonies and first meeting, there is no need to pay big respects. When the emperor discusses state affairs, the ministers can stand and answer. If it is a small court meeting, you can sit and talk to the emperor.

An old Confucian scholar knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yun. It can be seen how excited he is now, how much he agrees with and respects Su Yun's words. This is a very serious act of courtesy.

Su Yun has not been here for a short time, so he naturally knows how important this gift is, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he naturally wants to make a statement.

Furthermore, influenced by the values ​​of her previous life, she couldn't let an old man kneel down and kowtow to her, that would cost her her life.

Three steps and two steps quickly stepped forward and helped the old Confucian up, saying: "Old man, you should not be so generous, you should not be so generous."

The old man's hands were trembling with excitement, and Su Yunxu gave him a hand, which made him even more excited. He was still unable to stand still while leaning on a cane. A young man beside him immediately supported the old man, and whispered: "Uncle, be careful. underfoot."

"Ai, ai."

The old Confucianism responded repeatedly, "Madam, please forgive me...Madam's words are to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to all generations. Meng Lang is gone."

Su Yun's face turned red, it was not her fault, but a motto of a great Confucianist in the Northern Song Dynasty, and she was just quoting it.It's just that she underestimated the power of this famous saying that has been handed down through the ages, and this old Confucian is not the only one who is excited?
When those officials and the scholars present recalled what they said, they couldn't help cheering, and there were not a few people who were as excited as this old man.

"Lord Lu, alas, the old man really lost his sight!"

Qiu Yangong started, "I thought Mrs. Wu Guo was only proficient in farming, but I never thought that this knowledge is so amazing. Mr. Lu is really lucky! With such a virtuous wife to help, why not worry about the family's prosperity? "

After a pause, he continued: "Our people in Youzhou are blessed!"

"It still depends on the help of colleagues. One manpower is small, but many people are powerful. I hope we can work together to reproduce the prosperity of Youzhou City!"

"The lower officials are determined to be the only ones who will follow the lead of Mr. Lu, and seek the well-being of the people of Youzhou!"

The meeting and greetings outside the city gate ended in this atmosphere. Su Yun also returned to the carriage and waved to the people, which made the people very excited.

These days, the common people have an inexplicable respect and fear for officials. A county magistrate is like the sky in their eyes. Now, the wife of the governor is still a first-rank lady named by the emperor. How can she be so kind and friendly? Discourage them?
Many villagers thought to themselves, they should tell their neighbors about this matter after returning to their hometown, we have come to the big blue sky in Youzhou!This lady is so good, how can she be a good husband?

The thoughts of the people have always been simple, and all they want is to have enough food and clothing, and not to suffer from the war.

If the superiors are a little kind to them, they will be inexplicably grateful and feel that life has a bright future.

The most pure and simple, touching and sad.

If the people's wisdom is not developed, where can real happiness come from?
It's just that people use swords and I take fish and meat, pin all their hopes on the morality of officials, and there is no perfect legal system. This is the greatest tragedy of the people in this era.

Entering the city, it was even more desolate as far as the eye could see. The new governor was appointed, and the officials who took office must have done some tricks, but even so, Su Yun could see the misery and depression in the numb expressions of the people.

Years of war and displacement have made them numb. People who have never experienced war do not know the value of peace. In the midst of singing and dancing in the south of the Yangtze River, the people here have spent many years in the chaos of war. It is not that they have never thought of running away. But if they ran out of Youzhou, where could they go?
There are not many lucky people like Chang Fugui, and many ordinary people have no way out, so they can only hang around here and wait to die.

Seeing this scene, Su Yun felt a burst of heartache.

This reminded her of some photos of her time and space in the late Qing Dynasty. The people who had been suffering from poverty for a long time, natural disasters, man-made disasters and wars also had such expressions.

She clenched her hands involuntarily, whether it was for her husband's career or not, she would use the knowledge she had learned in her previous life to seek benefits for the local people and improve their lives.

Su Yun is the kind of person who will do what he says, and Lu Shi was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor, and he is so young, and the fact that he was expelled from the house was a big blow, and Su Yun was kidnapped by Xuan Haorui , Lu Shi deeply felt that he was too weak, whether it was to prove to his father or to protect Su Yun, he also planned to make some noise in Youzhou.

Besides, his nature is not bad, he didn't see the difficulties of the people's livelihood before, but now he feels very uncomfortable seeing this, so he rejected the welcome banquet of the local bureaucrats, and went directly back to the temporary governor's mansion, where he asked the little official to move to Youzhou Various documents and documents, I plan to study them carefully first to see how to get them.

Su Yun arranged for his servants to clean the Governor's Mansion again.This was originally the house of a large family, but now that the owner is gone, it is naturally taken over by the government as an office location. The courtyard is still in good condition, and before Lu Shi came, the officials here had already sent people to do some repairs. , working in the front and living in the back, Su Yun is just asking people to move in some small things and re-plan.

After being busy all night, everything was finally arranged. With the help of Mrs. Xie, Su Yun was relieved a lot.When he came back to Youzhou, Chang Fugui's family also came. His wife was already cooking in the kitchen, so Su Yun didn't have to worry about this dinner.

It was only Youzhou that experienced the chaos of war. Not to mention the high prices, there were not many things. It was obviously spring, but there were not many vegetables to eat.

Fortunately, I made some preparations before I came here. The vegetables I ate were some weeds bought locally, and the meat was dried meat and sausage prepared by myself. Although it is simple, it is not bad for people who have a busy day to have hot soup and hot rice. up.

After eating enough, Lu Shi didn't continue to study official documents, and he was tired after traveling for many days.After the two washed up and were lying on the bed, Su Yun suddenly said: "Brother Shi, we can't just stay in the yamen... To learn more about the local people's livelihood and customs, we have to pretend to go out and do a field trip..."
