Mr. Rebirth

Chapter 44 44

"Sir?" Fang Hui whispered to remind his silent husband not to offend the prince.

Shen Su suppressed the mixed feelings, raised his head calmly, with a respectful attitude.

The prince approached and took a look, then couldn't help looking around, and said boredly: "It's no different to teach the gentleman who is second in the list." After a pause, perhaps he felt that his attitude could offend others. Talented people are always upsetting, and remedied, "However, if a country gentleman can teach the second place, he must be a person who is born in the world."

"His Royal Highness is over-reputed. It's just that the grass-roots people have good luck and met Fang Hui. He has a husband. He came to Caomin to study here, and he didn't need Caomin to teach him anything. Caomin is really ashamed, and he can't bear the title of second place."

Shen Su was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would make a fuss about this point, and wished that he didn't know Fang Hui.

The crown prince squatted down, squinted at Shen Su's lowered head, with an unpredictable expression, and asked quietly: "According to Mr., Mr. is so shallow that he took the merit of teaching Fang Hui from the previous Mr.?"

Fang Hui knelt on one side, sweating profusely, secretly wondering if he should go forward to beg for face, and save Mr. Xia.He was also confused, didn't understand what was going on with his husband, he clearly always warned himself to be cautious in his words and deeds, why did the husband lose his way when he met the prince himself?

I can't accept these words seriously, so I said: "His Royal Highness, the grassroots are not good at writing, and they don't have very good insights. They are very slow in thinking. I am really ashamed. They just know how to take the exam, and they are mere tricks. It's very ugly. Yu Zhao He has both ability and political integrity, and what he lacks is just a little skill in taking exams, which makes the grassroots take advantage of it."

Fang recalled to speak, raised his eyes a little, and saw that Shen Suru Daoyanfeng had sneaked over and waited, so he shut up honestly and obediently knelt beside him.

Shen Su was so self-destructive, but unexpectedly, the crown prince was smiling, triumphant as if he had discovered a treasure: "Sir, you are too modest. The exams in the Zhou Dynasty were the most difficult, and how many romantic and talented people were turned on their backs on the way to the exams, sir. General is a great talent. I came here this time, one is to resettle the refugees in Qunnan Prefecture, and the other is to find a gentleman who specializes in taking exams."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Su with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he almost said that you are going to be the prince's husband, so say it.

This is... embarrassing...

Shen Su lowered his head even lower, cupped his hands and said: "The grassroots are terrified. There must be many great Confucian scholars in the palace vying to be the crown prince and Taifu. The grassroots are ordinary people, what virtue and ability, dare not think about it."

The prince couldn't understand Shen Su's meaning, but there were people who didn't want to be a husband to him, the prince, and suddenly it became interesting that he wanted Shen Su to be a husband.

"Mr. is good at the way of taking exams. The tutors will only teach me the way of being a king, and the emperor hopes that I will start to take the exam next year like a student in the world. The master's strengths are being used by me. It is suitable for me to teach me, sir." but."

As he said that, the prince reached out to help Shen Su, seeing that he was stiff and refused to get up, he was not annoyed, but his smile deepened a little, and he used force to help Shen Su who was kneeling in a daze.A child with a baby voice has great strength!Then he bowed to him and said with a smile, "Students greet you, sir."

Shen Su quickly moved aside to avoid the ceremony of the prince's apprenticeship.

The prince lost his posture, stood up, looked at Shen Su, pursed his lips but did not smile, and already had the majesty of being a king.

With a bang, Shen Su knelt down fiercely, bowed his hands and said: "Prince please forgive me, Shen Su is incompetent and dare not teach the prince."

The prince snorted and said, "Before I came, I had someone check it out. Don't you think it's a pity that you are so poor that you can't take the scientific examination now? If you want to come to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, you are very familiar with the law. This is supposed to be a scientific examination, but it is not scientific on the way." If you pass the exam, you will be empty-handed and waste all these years of studying, sir, will you be willing?"

This is just a short statement. To be a princeling is to gain fame and fortune, so don't be ignorant.

The regulations of the Zhou Dynasty on the scientific examination: All students, who take the examination, and those who are selected as scholars, if they continue the scientific examination, will get fame and can get five acres of tax-free farmland;No tax-exempt fertile land, neighbors, relatives, or the same village are not allowed to be affiliated, as evidenced by the land deed.If you are a scholar or a candidate who does not continue to take the exam, you should register with the local government in the same year, receive an official position according to your merit, and receive a monthly salary according to the law. Tax-free fertile land is the same as those who continue to take the scientific exam.

One thing to keep in mind is that if the students who have not registered in the register and do not continue the scientific examination, they will only enjoy the fame. They can continue the scientific examination in the future, but they will not be able to receive official positions. Tax-free fertile land is the same.

The prince looked at Shen Su, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a persuasive manner: "With your talents and learning, it is all right to continue the scientific examination during the filial period. After all, it is the stepfather who passed away. This filial period is also debatable. What's more, with a student like Ben Gong, wouldn't the master's reputation be more prosperous? At that time, the master will be famous all over the world, will he still worry about money? You might as well think about it again!"

Xu felt that beatings and lures were enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded to the guards, and the guards went out to inspect the resettlement of the refugees. Naturally, before leaving, he did not forget to order the kneeling Fang Hui and Shen Su to excuse themselves.

Fang Hui was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. As soon as the crown prince left, he almost staggered and fell to the ground. At least he managed to stabilize his figure. He stepped forward to support him and said solemnly, "Sir?"

Shen Su asked: "Why is His Royal Highness here?"

Fang Hui looked around and said in a low voice: "Sir, my second senior brother said that some people in the court are talking about the prince. Now that the whole country is peaceful, there is finally a chaos in Shannan. The emperor wants the prince to make some achievements."

"The emperor's will not to hurt King Qin, I'm afraid it has another purpose." Shen Su analyzed.

Fang nodded back: "Yes, the crown prince said this, and the emperor agreed. The capital is basically aware of this matter, but it has been spread outside. I guess it is to give the crown prince a reputation for benevolence."

Shen Su shook his head: "With a reputation, the last one is Li Jiajun."

Fang Hui sighed, isn't that right, the Li family army has always been good at attacking and fighting, and the superior has always asked them to retreat and prevent them from hurting the enemy's general. The Li family's army was thrown into chaos, causing heavy casualties, and more and more refugees and wounded soldiers were received by Qunnan Mansion.

"Sir, there is no news about Bai Luomei, but I want you to come here, because...the food supply in Qunnan Mansion can't last anymore. Even the rich merchants in the mansion have searched all over. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here a few days ago. The rich merchants gave some more, but the war is still going on, I'm afraid it's..."

"Didn't the imperial court bring any food?" Shen Su asked suspiciously, "Since you want to contribute some merit to His Royal Highness, why don't you prepare some rice for the Prince, and come with him."

Fang Hui was also speechless: "Not at all. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused, saying that there are still many other prefectures and counties that are seriously flooded, and they are still waiting for rice grains. Besides, we don't know when the war will end, and military pay is also a problem, so... Even the senior brothers and the emperor agreed at the beginning, the prince himself raised it in the court, and the emperor also agreed."

Shen Su has a dark face, if he was still a prince and grand tutor in his previous life, he must be beaten up first.

"Sir, Your Highness the Crown Prince... There is not enough rice and food, I thought it would be better to serve steamed buns with porridge, so as to save some money, but His Highness is devoted to the people, so I don't allow the house to do this, I'm afraid it won't last long .”

Fang Hui wished he could scratch the hair off his head.In the past, in Qunnan Mansion, he was the one who spoke out, even if there were dissatisfaction, he said, and the order can be carried out.Now that the crown prince is here, the senior brothers in Chaozhong are afraid that he will mess around, so they arrange a follower for him. Whenever he can't help but speak insultingly to His Royal Highness, the attendant will quickly pull him to kneel down before speaking.A few times like this, when he saw the prince, he knelt down first, otherwise it would be difficult to talk.

Shen Su said: "If it's not enough, just plant it. Go to the refugees and find out those who have all the hands and feet and those who can work. The men let them expand according to Qunnan Mansion, whether it is to open up wasteland or rent land, and grow as much as possible." The fast green leafy vegetables are all planted. Ladies, buy some chicks and ducklings for them, and let them go to the river to get small fish and shrimps, whatever they are, to feed them. It won’t take long for the vegetables to be eaten, Even if meat is not available, there are also eggs and duck eggs that can be eaten. Let some women be responsible for cooking, calculate the amount every day, and free up the manpower in the mansion, just send a few people to watch here. The people who come out can do other things.”

Fang Hui listened, his eyes lit up.Yes, that's good.Those refugees and wounded soldiers don’t work all day long, they just stay there, and they tend to cause trouble. If we give them something to do, wouldn’t it be possible to grow something to eat and reduce the unrest, which is really great.

Shen Su continued: "These days, go and collect some cheap vegetables first. If you want to come to a rich businessman, you don't care about it. You can give some, mix it in porridge or rice, add some salt, it has some taste, and it is better than dry food. .As for His Royal Highness wanting fame, let the prince give alms, send food and porridge to eat, which is more popular than visiting refugees and wounded soldiers."

"Those vacant people in the mansion should patrol and strengthen their vigilance to prevent anyone from sneaking in. You can also send some people out to help guard the land with the people who have expanded the wasteland outside. Don't let them be idle. , move, there will naturally be hope."

"Mr. still has a way." Fang Hui sincerely praised, "I can't think of any of these ways, and the people below are useless, and they all come up with ways that don't need it."

Shen Su shook his head: "When you came here, you made a big move. There are many people guarding you and watching you in Nanfu. Even if you want to remind you, you don't have time to listen. As for yourself, you were born there , not to be hungry, this is a good thing, unexpected is also a matter of course."

Fang nodded back, it would be great if he could think of these methods next time.

"As for those wounded soldiers, or children, the elderly can't work..." Shen Su thought for a while and said, "Make room for me, and I'll teach them how to read."

Fang Hui was shocked: "First... Mister..."

Shen Su said: "Although I have fame and fame, if it is useful, it is good for you. If it is useless, you, a new official, will have to be pointed at by others. It is better to say that you have sent me a job. Wounded soldiers can read and write. If you return to your hometown or It’s good to go to other places, do whatever you want, children are the same, children can read and write, even if the family suffers, or if they have troubles, they will still think about children.”

These days, reading is still difficult.

Not to mention how Fang Hui nodded repeatedly in the room, even the guards following His Royal Highness sneaked over to listen to it, and then went back to report, and they also thought about Shen Su a little bit, thinking that it would be beneficial for His Highness to find such a gentleman.Look at Fang Hui, with Mr. Shen in charge, he doesn't have to think, just give orders directly.

As for Shen Su, he knows the prince very well, it is impossible not to find someone to stare at him.But he still said it so frankly, saying that the crown prince wants fame is also straightforward, not because he wants to let the crown prince know that he despises him and does not want to be his husband.On the other hand, it is also telling the prince that he is useful...the useful person is protected by Fang, and the princelings can borrow some help if they want to find Bai Luomei in the future because they can't offend Fang Hui.
