Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Although Ji Hongsheng's situation in Tang's case is justifiable, but there are no rules, and Ji Hongsheng must die.

But the Tang Mansion couldn't let it go. Relying on being a subordinate of the prefect, and relying on the right to be in charge of the soldiers, Tang Guoliang has done many things over the years to bully the people and indulge his sons in murders.

The most important thing is, since it is a person with a 'master', the other party will naturally help the 'master' do a lot of things.

Following Tang Guoliang's line, Lin Ze and Duan Wensai found a lot of things, but the people in the prefect of Qingshan were all cunning old foxes, and the evidence was handled very well. No evidence could be found.

So they can't touch these people for the time being, only Tang Guoliang was pushed out to be the culprit.

At this time, the time is too short, Lin Ze can only give up for the time being, first clean up Tang Guoliang, and the Tang family will be convicted of ransacking the house, and the rest of the officials will make another plan.

The people in Qingshan County celebrated this very warmly, and they couldn't stop talking about Master Qingtian.

Those families who had been persecuted by the Tang Mansion wept with joy, and then formed teams to kowtow to Lin Ze to thank Lin Ze. Afterwards, they even went to Heba Village to deliver things. It was not worth much, but it was everyone's wishes. Lin Sangui laughed so hard that his son earned the family's reputation.

The fourth aunt Tang Sishao and the housekeeper Sun Wang also heard the news from the prison guards, with joyful smiles on their faces and full of gratitude in their hearts.

Although Lin Ze punished them because of the case, he actually indirectly helped them out of the sea of ​​misery. The Tang family was convicted and gone. Then they will be truly free when they are released from prison. They are not afraid of master Tang's revenge afterwards, and they can live in peace for the rest of their lives. live a clean life...

Everyone was overjoyed, but Lin Ze's brain started to hurt afterward.

Regarding the matter of the Tang Mansion, he made it clear that he was against the Qingshan County prefect's prefect party, and he didn't give any face to him. He even found out the other party's secrets, and naturally angered the other party in an instant.

After the case was over, everyone went back, and immediately got together and scolded Lin Ze behind his back for eighteen generations. He was so angry that he dropped cups one after another, and then started to fight back, targeting Lin Ze and Duan Wensai.

Delayed in handing over Qingshan's official duties, various kinds of failure to cooperate with the handover;

In order to add trouble to Lin Ze, after Tang Guoliang was convicted, the soldiers refused to hand over the military power management of the county, and secretly colluded with the mountain bandits who were active in the Qingshan County boundary, and ran out all day to make trouble, causing the entire Qingshan County to be chaotic. .

Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to give Lin Ze the Bing Talisman, otherwise he would really have a headache and didn't know what to do.

"Don't hand over government affairs and militia rights? Is this person a fool? Since I have the courage to fight with them openly, will I have no cards and tricks? I really think I'm a fucking head!"

Lin Ze was also very angry at these people's misbehavior.

It doesn't matter how cunning and cunning these people in the officialdom are fighting with him, but he can't tolerate the safety and lives of the people.

He is righteous when he sounds good, but he is still a bit angry when he says it badly. This feeling comes from the unbearable history in the history books when the motherland was humiliated. The country is weak and the people are suffering. These people are the imperial court. of moths.

"Pass the order of my official, mobilize the garrison troops in Qingzhou, and do my best to suppress the bandits! The prefect of Qingshan and others have neglected their official duties, so that the official government affairs have not been promulgated, and the people have suffered from bandits. The bandit will make a review later!"

Everyone didn't cooperate, and Lin Ze didn't bother to talk too much, so he sent someone to mobilize Qingzhou's garrison troops to help without saying a word.

There are several types of soldiers in the Daji court. The soldiers in Qingshan County are not actually the real court officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers stationed in the states are the real soldiers of the imperial court, who have undergone professional training and been on the battlefield.

The executive power and action power of these soldiers are not comparable to ordinary local militiamen. As soon as the Lin Ze soldier talisman came out, the general in charge of the garrison in Qingzhou did not hesitate to ask back. He immediately summoned the soldiers and personally led the team to the hills near Qingshan County bandit.

It didn't even take half a month, and all the gangsters near Qingshan County were wiped out in one pot.

Escorted thousands of bandits and prisoners for Lin Ze.

Such a swift and resolute speed really opened Lin Ze's horizons. No wonder His Majesty was afraid of those courtiers, but when it came to the critical moment, he was still able to kill them directly without hesitation.

In fact, the emperor's troops were not only numerous, but also powerful.

This move stunned all the officials, big and small, in Qingshan County. No one thought that Lin Ze would be able to mobilize the garrison power in Qingzhou. No wonder the other party directly confronted the Taishou Party without fear when he came back.

Lin Ze, a bandit prisoner of seven or eight thousand, was delighted to see it. He was worried that no one would use it for construction, and he would spend huge sums of money to hire people. Now that there are so many free laborers, he can save a lot of money.

Cheerfully thanked the general of the Qingzhou garrison, Duan Wensai sent over the black materials of the officials in Qingshan County, and Lin Ze began to take over the power drastically.

All the officials in the entire Qingshan County, according to the crimes committed by everyone, those who should be executed, those who should be ransacked, and those who should be exiled.

Lin Ze still kept those who were not guilty but had dirty hands and feet, but almost all their homes were ransacked, and all the oil and water accumulated over the years were filled into Qingshan County's inventory.

Naturally, the crowd refused to accept it, and those who were sentenced to beheaded struggled even more desperately, yelling at Lin Ze that he had no right to behead them. Given their official rank, even if they made mistakes, they would have to be sent to Dali Temple in the capital for interrogation, and then they would be executed in the capital!

Although everyone is just a small official in a remote area, the officialdom is intricate, and even the smallest officials have affiliated factions. Otherwise, the power of the ministers in the capital is only in the capital, so how can they become the emperor's fear.

Sending these people back to the capital for review is to send these people back to their hometown for comfort.

"Qingshan County is the 'new policy actual administration area' handpicked by His Majesty. For the convenience of actual administration, all major and minor affairs here are fully managed by the official. Except for Your Majesty, all departments in the capital are not allowed to intervene. Cut first and play later, for this official to implement the actual government The first royal charter of the..."

With a light sentence, Lin Ze suppressed all the excuses and struggles of the crowd.

Those who carried out his orders were all the officials brought back from the capital and Qingzhou garrison soldiers. They only obeyed the orders of the imperial power and Lin Ze, and directly took a group of pale-faced people away.

Otherwise, it is not unreasonable to say that power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the big fist is the last word. It is not unreasonable to let everyone argue. Anyway, Lin Ze said that he will kill first and then play privileges.

As for the troubles afterwards, even if a few inconspicuous officials and ministers in Beijing are upset, they will not be so stupid as to oppose the emperor when the direction of the court is not clear.

Several big tigers in Qingshan County fell from their horses, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals below did not dare to speak, they had already lost their souls and souls.

Now it seems that they just confiscated the oil and water they collected, which is already Lin Zegao's noble hand, otherwise, if the other party really hates it, it is not impossible to cut them all down in a frenzy.

In order to save their lives, everyone did not dare to push anymore, and began to actively cooperate with Lin Ze to take power.

Lin Ze didn't even need to say more. In order to save their lives, everyone turned against each other and exposed each other's pigtails, which directly caused Lin Ze to collect and scrape a wave of things that he didn't find.

As the saying goes, it takes three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. Don't underestimate these humble soldiers and crab generals. The wealth that a group of people amass in private is incalculable. Together, they are no worse than a few big tigers.

A row of houses were searched, and the warehouse of the county government couldn't hold it.

Lin Ze, who had expected it for a long time, was eye-opened. He really didn't expect that such a small Qingshan County would have so much oil and water. It is no wonder that Daji is so prosperous, but the money in the treasury is always not enough. It's all in the pockets of these people.

Maybe there are still undetected ones, but if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and it will not work if it is too extreme.

The officials who are left now are at most greedy. There is nothing wrong with other things, they have not killed anyone, and their work efficiency is not bad. Lin Ze just turned a blind eye, otherwise he would be beheaded. Next Who will do things for him.

The issue of corruption will be resolved slowly later.

After tightening the management power of Qingshan County, Lin Ze immediately promulgated several policies.

First, strengthen public security management.From now on, everyone, from bullying to stealing, as long as the crime is not a capital crime, will be arrested and sent to the "labor team" to work as a coolie. According to the crime, they will participate in various construction activities required by the court.

Second, protection policies for women, brothers, infants, young children, and the elderly.It is mainly aimed at issues such as clan lynching, domestic violence, failure to support parents, gender discrimination and patriarchal issues in various villages.

These problems are too serious in this era. Lin Ze doesn't want reforms to go against the times and make everyone equal all at once, but he hopes that these vulnerable women and elders can get some due protection.

It just so happens that many of the upcoming infrastructure construction works in Qingshan County require a lot of labor. Those who like domestic violence, who gave birth to daughters and younger brothers threw away and drowned, and do not provide elderly parents with old age abuse, etc. Once discovered, all of them will be sent to Do coolie transformation lessons.

For this reason, Lin Ze also asked people to set up a special "Women's Federation, Brotherhood and Old Federation" to supervise. The people in it are all brothers, women and old people who have been abused from various villages. These people have suffered, and naturally Will strive to seize opportunities to fight for the interests of their own groups.

In this way, we are not afraid that the people in the villages and towns will conceal and fail to report, resulting in a policy that is just a useless statement.

Thirdly, every village and every town should set up "compulsory education primary schools" immediately.

Education is the foundation to support long-term sustainable development, and it must be started immediately.

*********************

The three decrees currently promulgated are what Lin Ze had thought about a long time ago, which is the basis for the implementation of subsequent policies and construction.

Especially the issue of education. There are too many illiterates in this era. If you don’t even know the words, how much can you do? Literacy is a must, and it is also necessary to quickly cultivate the next generation of talents.

Otherwise, the current national strength will develop, and the lack of follow-up talents will not be able to support it, and it will become a crisis that will overwhelm the growth.

The "compulsory education primary schools" that are now required to be opened in all villages and towns are the basis for literacy.

Every order issued by Lin Ze is practical so that every common people can feel the benefits and benefits to themselves, so there is no one who does not cheer and cooperate happily.

Even if there is a policy of challenging the rights of men, it has not caused many disturbances, and it is not too much in everyone's opinion. Originally, beating wives and throwing girls and brothers, and parents not supporting them when they are old are moral issues that are shameless.

It’s just that in the past, those things were other people’s family affairs, and the common people could only sympathize with them. Now the government clearly stipulates that those who do these things will be severely punished and sent to do coolies. Of course, everyone applauds.

Many women and brothers who have suffered from domestic violence for a long time have finally been relieved. Those patriarchal men dare not do the immoral thing of throwing away their baby girls. , did not dare to fight.

Because no one took it seriously a few days before the decree was promulgated, Lin Ze directly sent people to arrest a group of people and sent them to the labor force to be 'models'.

Only then did the common people know that the government's decree this time is not just talk, it is real.

In terms of security issues, in the first few days, a wave of inappropriate notices was caught. Wave after wave of people were sent to the labor force, and in a short period of time, Lin Ze raised 1 yuan. More free labor comes out.

"Brother Lin, I admire you. If I could get so much free labor like you, why would I need to worry about raising money for road repairs and saving a lot of expenses..."

Duan Wensai couldn't be happier looking at the list data. So many free laborers can do a lot of things.

"Our Daji lacks everything, except for the labor force to work. Is each family giving birth to five or six sons just to show their eyes? First drag these people to training and education for a few days, and then start working after they are obedient. The problem of building 'compulsory primary schools' depends on these people."

Lin Ze rubbed his chin and smirked, thinking about what to do in the future to get more free workers to use.

"Let's leave it at that for the time being. Let's take care of the things at hand. I'll talk about the rest after I finish moving. I haven't seen my precious son for a long time..."

Business done.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and was about to deal with the moving matter quickly. As Mr. Sasuke, he had to deal with various official duties. He could no longer live in the village. First, it was out of order, and second, it was inconvenient.

It has been more than a month since he returned from the capital and he has not taken a breath. He has been staying in the county government office to deal with various things. The family has no time to take care of it. How sad.

When moving, the son has to stay by his side to support him.

Simply handing over the affairs of the county government to Duan Wensai to help watch the operation, Lin Ze finally had time to take Zhang Yu to pack up and rush back to Nanyang Town to see his home.

……

At the same time, with the spread of Lin Ze's three decrees in Qingshan County, the people are also having heated discussions.

Especially in Heba Village, because the Lin family is in the village, whenever there is any good news outside, Heba Village is the first to know about it in the surrounding villages.

"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone hurry up and inform each other to come to the Shaguba. There is good news for everyone. The government has notified all villages and towns that compulsory education primary schools will be opened!"

Li Laofu was so excited that he immediately ran out with gongs and drums when he received the notice sent by the official, and hurriedly called the villagers to gather to announce the good news.

The villagers are basically uneducated, and 'compulsory education primary school' is another new word, so naturally they don't understand it.

"Lizheng, what is 'compulsory education primary school'?"

"It's a private school! The government pays for private schools in our villages. Please, sir, teach everyone's children to read and write! Hurry up and call someone, and I will explain to you slowly when everyone is here..."

Li Laofu was all smiles and flushed, urging the villagers to notify each other of the meeting.

Although I didn't go into details, everyone understood the point of the government's money to run a private school in the village. They were overjoyed and hurried to call other people in the village.

Private schools, sending children to study, this is the wish of all the people.

No matter how ignorant everyone is, they also know that for poor people like them, only by reading and learning skills can they survive the hard life, not to mention the most outstanding Lin Ze in the village, that is, anyone who has read a little and knows a few words , the life situation and life are better than ordinary people.

In almost every village, upon receiving urgent notices from officials, people like Li Laofu would happily and excitedly inform the villagers to hold a meeting and say good news.

When the mayors of Lizheng finished the government's notice carefully, both the villagers and the people in the town stared wide-eyed.

The 'compulsory primary education' requested by Lin Ze is actually a copy of the modern education system.

After rectifying the officials of Qingshan County, the current inventory of the yamen is very sufficient, which can fully support the government-funded private schools in various villages and towns to develop education.

Of course, these private schools cannot blindly support everything with government money. The so-called "obligation" goes both ways.

The government only pays for the construction of private schools, the purchase of teaching facilities, and the hiring of teachers; when the school officially starts, all children still need to pay tuition fees, but compared with the previous teaching, the current "Government Primary School" is much cheaper. Families that are not particularly difficult can afford it.

Because tuition and miscellaneous fees still have to be paid, it is natural that some short-sighted and patriarchal families will have objections, and will choose to send the most favored children in the family to school to save money.

Therefore, along with the opening of private schools by the government, there is an additional order that all people must send their children to primary schools, regardless of male or female.

Some families with real difficulties can apply for the help of 'poor students'.

And adults must go to the 'Government Primary School' regularly for literacy education, otherwise they will be punished, but this is free.

In a word, from now on, children's education, adults' literacy, everyone should take action!

"Ah? The girl and the little brother must also be sent to study. Why waste money? It's the same when the kid at home comes back to teach..."

"That's right. Although the private school fees in this government primary school are cheap, sending all the children in the family is not a small expense."

Obviously, most of the common people have no objection to forcing the boy to study, but the girl and brother don't want to.

The tuition and miscellaneous fees charged by government private schools and primary schools are small, but there are not five or six dolls in the family. Even if each child only spends a few taels of silver a year, five or six together will be a huge sum of money. Whose family will bear it in the long run? Can live.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin must have thought about everyone's difficulties when he promulgated this decree, so especially poor families can apply for help for poor students, or take out 'student loans'..."

"What are student loans?"

"That is, we can first borrow money from the government to send our children to study. At that time, we only need to complete some tasks assigned by the government to offset the debt. Anyway, our own children will benefit from our work in the end, and there is no loss. Girls and brothers have Learned, marrying home in the future can educate our next generation, right?"

This is true, if the daughters-in-law who come back from the family can read and write, then the grandson will be able to start learning as soon as he is born, and walk ahead of others.

If other girls know how to read in the future, but I don't know how to read, I will definitely not be able to marry.

So everyone thought about it, if the government is willing to find jobs for everyone to make money, then it is not impossible to send their daughters and brothers to study, since children are too young to do any heavy work.

"Also, everyone should take a long-term view. The official announcement said that our Qingshan County is now the base of real government. As long as the government orders that work here will be promoted to the whole country, our county will take the lead. Children They have read all the books, and the excellent ones are likely to be selected by the government, and they will directly arrange positions for the imperial court..."

"In this way, even if our child fails to win the No. [-] Scholar, he will still be able to become a minor government official! Lin Ze is from our village, so can he harm our fellow villager? These orders are for our own good, We must seize the opportunity, cooperate actively, and send all the children to study, no matter male or female!"

Li Laofu now has almost admiration for Lin Ze who went out from the village.

Every time Lin Ze informs the village about what to do, no matter what everyone thinks at the beginning, the village will benefit from it in the end anyway.

Seeing that the village is getting better and better, Li Laofu believes even more, following the saying that the Lin family has meat to eat.

And not to mention so much, reading is indeed a good thing.

"As the old saying goes, all things are inferior, only reading is high. Only when children can read and write can they do other things, otherwise they can only work hard like us all their lives..."

"And this is a mandatory order. Whoever dares to be biased and refuses to send the little brother and daughter to the private school of the government primary school will be imprisoned!"

Li Laofu gave a persuasive speech with both voice and emotion.

The villagers nodded again and again. Although they felt sorry for Yin Zi, the final beneficiaries of the government's announcement this time were indeed the people themselves.

And it's mandatory, anyone who dares not to send their baby to a private school will be arrested and put on a board and squatted in a cell, it's not a joke.

Lin Ze's policy was promulgated, although there were some dynamic friction and dissent, but generally speaking, it was implemented very smoothly, and most of the people cooperated with it with a happy attitude.

**********************

When Lin Ze returned home from the county with Zhang Yu, it was already a month after Ji Hongsheng was beheaded.

"Dad, daddy, woo woo."

As soon as the couple arrived at the door, Lin Dongdong, who was being hugged by Jiang Rongniang, struggled to get down, and ran over on his chubby legs while crying.

Lin Ze got down from the carriage, looked at his two tearful sons, and felt extremely distressed, so he quickly reached out to hug him,

"I'm sorry baby, do you miss Dad too much? You've lost weight. Dad won't leave you at home anymore, so you can take the baby with you when you're doing business, okay? Poor little girl, you've lost a lot of weight..."

Although he had lost a lot of weight compared to before, Lin Dongdong was still fat and smart.

Knowing that Dad was in distress, he immediately started to ask for welfare, crying and making his nose even sadder, "Bad, Dad is bad, don't move, woo, move should be Qiaoqiao, ten Qiaoqiao, woo..."

Well, the little ones have learned to count.

But no matter how smart he is and how he pretends to be pitiful, he still has a father who is worried about his son's future image.

"None of them are allowed. If you still have candy stains on your mouth, you must be clever and greedy."

Zhang Yu came down from behind, and while teaching him a lesson, he came over and slapped his son's little butt twice as punishment.

This child can eat too much, and he especially likes sweets. He has the same taste as my husband, but he can't let it go on like this. Look at the children of the same age who are as fat as theirs?Chubby was cute when he was young, but if he grows up, he will still be like this.

Lin Dongdong, who was severely disciplined by his father, was very wronged, but he still reached out to Zhang Yu for a hug, very cleverly acting cute and coquettish, pretending to be pitiful.

"Wuuu Daddy, baby, think about it..."

While pretending to be pitiful, he hugged his father's neck and acted like a baby. He was very sensible and didn't mention sugar.

Daddy also loves him very much, but he is also very strict. If he is disobedient, he will be spanked, hard.

Two-year-old Lin Dongdong knows a lot.

Everyone couldn't stop laughing, and the Lin family members in the room came to welcome them and help them carry things.

"Grandson, you've worked hard, come in and have a meal..."

"Brother and sister-in-law, you are finally back, the family misses you."

"Grandpa Fulang..."

Almost all the family members ran to the door to greet them, the old man and the lady were all smiling, and Lin Xiaolian and Wang Maozi stood together.

Because Wang Maozi had to study in a private school and learn Nanyang language from those Nanyang slaves, after the two got married, Wang Maozi lived in the private school dormitory and the Lin family most of the time. The Wang family knew the inside story and didn't say much.

People from outside talked about their Wang family's "marrying" their son into a family and other gossips, but the Wang family felt that nothing was as good as their son's academic achievements, and they would not lose a piece of meat if they said a few words, and they all fell on deaf ears.

Besides, Lin Xiaolian didn't act like a lady just because her family's environment is better than Wang's. Every month, she and Wang Maozi go back to Wang's house to live there for a few days. It also made the Wang family look better.

The husband and wife, as well as the two families, get along pretty well, very harmonious and harmonious.

The news that Lin Ze and the two finally finished their work and were coming back had already delivered a letter to their family, and everyone warmly welcomed them.

"Ah, he is..."

When everyone was laughing, Jiang Rongniang saw Zhang Yu followed by a strange young brother.

Although the little brother is not as good-looking as Zhang Yu, he is also very good-looking, fair and well-behaved.With her married brother's hair tied up, and a top-quality cotton shirt, he looks handsome.

The most important thing is that the opponent unconsciously protects his stomach when he moves. Although the stomach is not bulging, it seems that the movements are made naturally and instinctively by a pregnant boy.

The other party stood behind Zhang Yu, came back in the same carriage with Lin Ze, and was pregnant with the child...

Naturally, Jiang Rongniang couldn't help but want to ask wrongly.

Although it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, she doesn't really want her son to be like this. Those who have come here still think that a husband and wife are the best, and the family is harmonious and loving.

"Mother, this is brother Xu. Xiaoshi is the husband of a friend of my husband, and my husband promised to help take care of him."

Zhang Yu saw Jiang Rongniang's thoughts and explained, "Xiaoshi is pregnant with a child, and there is no one else in the family. He is left alone in the county with no one to take care of him. I will discuss with my husband to let him live in our house and give birth to the child..."

Zhang Yu didn't tell the story of Ji Hongsheng in front of everyone, but simply explained it.

Although everyone will definitely sympathize, but for Xu Xiaoshi who just lost a man, this is another kind of "injury" that exposes scars. Sometimes people don't need this kind of sympathy, and silent care is the best intention.

A few days ago, Xu Xiaoshi was finally diagnosed by the doctor that he was pregnant. The arrival of the little life rekindled the hope of life for the lifeless little brother, so Zhang Yu asked him to follow him to Heba Village to raise the baby. When it was time, he agreed without saying a word.

Although he is a little embarrassed and troublesome, he has no reliable relatives and friends around him. Living alone in the county with a child and no one to take care of him will inevitably lead to accidents. He can't let his stomach have any problems.

So Xu Xiaoshi accepted Zhang Yu's kindness without much hesitation.

Lin Ze was worried that he would think too much during pregnancy, so he told him that Ji Hongsheng gave him something in exchange "before he was alive", so Xu Xiaoshi didn't need to have any psychological burden on their help, it was Ji Hongsheng's way out for him and the child.

Xu Xiaoshi's eyes were red, and he was even more willing to follow.

"So that's the case, what are you doing standing there, go in and sit down quickly, the little brother who is pregnant for the first time has to pay attention..."

Jiang Rongniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and warmly welcomed them in.

She has seen too many things caused by the big family because there are too many people in the backyard. She really doesn't want her son to marry a few more. If the son has children, don't worry about the son having no incense.

It doesn't matter even if Zhang Yu really can't give birth in the future, the big deal is to recruit a husband and son-in-law for Dongdong, and their Lin family can do it now.

Lin Sangui is also his wife and son, and he doesn't have any opinions. He greeted him with a smile and ordered his servants to prepare the room.

There was a lot of excitement at the door before everyone finally entered the house.

Change clothes, wash and eat, and take care of the dust on his body. After eating, Lin Ze told his family about moving to live in the county.

"Now you are an official of the imperial court, and you have to deal with all kinds of work, and you have to be ready to be promoted at any time to avenge the people's grievances. It is certain that you will live in the county. Your father and mother will not go. Your grandma is still there. Our county I'm not familiar with the city, but I live comfortably in the village..."

The family had expected this for a long time, and there was no objection. As the son became more and more promising, it was naturally impossible to stay in the village for a lifetime.

As for the old ones, they will not go. Although they are reluctant to part with their grandchildren, there are two old people in the family who don't want to go outside when they are old. No matter how prosperous the county is, it can't stop the traditional thinking of returning to the roots in the bones of the ancients.

"Now most of the roads outside have been repaired, and it is not far from the village to the county town. We can go to play anytime, which is very convenient."

"That's fine. Since both parents want to be in the village, then Ah Yu and I will make time to come back to see you. Anyway, I have to run often in Nanyang Town. There are many rivers in Qingshan County. Then I will find a way to make this Let’s develop the transportation side.”

Lin Ze nodded and didn't persuade much, but was thinking about how to 'abuse his private power' to develop Nanyang Town and seek some benefits for his family.

This is human nature, he is not greedy for anything, but to develop his own hometown first, not too much.

Of course, this must still have a little suspicion of private rights, so in order to prevent officials from using their power for personal gain too much, the imperial examination stipulates that they will not return to their ancestral home when they are officials.

"Son, don't act recklessly, don't betray His Majesty's trust, serve the people well, be a good official, our Lin family is good enough..."

However, Lin Ze was more straightforward at home, but Lin Sangui was frightened, thinking that he was trying to seek power, so he hurriedly told him.

Even the old man and the old lady showed expressions of disapproval. It is good for the eldest grandson to think about the clan, but he must not do any immoral things of corrupt officials. The Lin family has no culture for generations, but they are still law-abiding in their bones.

"Don't worry, father and mother. My son has a sense of proportion. The terrain of Nanyang Town is indeed suitable for development."

Lin Ze nodded. It can be said that he is also a person standing on the cusp of the storm, so he will naturally pay attention to these.

He didn't know what the people in the capital were thinking, but they must all be watching him closely. If he made any mistakes, he would definitely be caught.

"That's good. When will you move? The ancestral hall in the village has been waiting for you to worship your ancestors."

The Lin family nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

It is customary to offer sacrifices to ancestors on any kind of happy event. It took Heba Village so many years to have a promising forest. Naturally, it is necessary to pay homage to the ancestors to tell the good news to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and to thank the ancestors for their blessings.

There are still many things waiting to be done outside. Lin Ze stayed in the village not long ago, and asked Lin Sangui to inform Li Laofu to prepare for ancestor worship that night.

Li Laofu and the elders of the ancestral hall have been waiting for this matter for a long time. Knowing that Lin Ze has a lot of official business now, they dare not delay. When they return to the village in the afternoon, they gather together to pick auspicious days. Worship ancestors.

During the period, Lin Ze went to the private school again, checked the students' learning situation, and made sure that the little guys in the private school hadn't been lazy during his absence, and they listened to Fang Shanyuan's words, so they felt relieved.

These children were raised by him himself, and no matter how busy he is, he will not let go of them. When the things in hand are straightened out, he will find time to continue teaching the children.

Hurrying to finish these trivial matters, Duan Wensai sent a message to tell him to go over to discuss the opening of the academy and integrate all private schools in Qingshan County. Lin Ze took Zhang Yu and his children away and moved to the official house in the county.
