After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

"Master Lin, this...is everything you said true?" a native official asked in disbelief.

"Of course it is true." Lin Ruhai replied firmly.

In the past two months, a convincing determination appeared on his tanned face due to visiting everywhere.

Wen Jing, who followed Lin Ruhai from the capital, said: "Before your lord came, didn't you all ask about your official voice? When you were in Shanxi, you were rewarded by a sage for promoting enlightenment."

Wen Jing and Manager Su both came to Cochin this time. Because Cochin is remote, there are not many people who are willing to come to this place to be small officials. Son.

The two were willing to follow because they were grateful for his kindness. Now that they have obtained the actual grade, they are naturally more motivated. They both secretly vowed to do their best to help Lin Ruhai achieve results in Jiaozhi.

Because before they came, they also checked the place of Jiaozhi, and knew that most of the officials who came here disappeared from the crowd and never appeared in the court again.

——This is obviously rejected by the saint.

The two of them are not popular at all, and the saint doesn't know who they are, so they can do whatever they want.

But Mr. Lin is the confidant of a saint, so it would be a pity if he were to be here at Jiaozhi?

After hearing Wen's words, the group of subordinate officials looked at each other, each seeing each other's embarrassment.

To be honest, they really haven't investigated it.

It's not their fault either.

It is true that the officials sent by the imperial court to Jiaozhi have been like a day for decades, and they have changed several times like one person. After they came, they tried every means to squeeze and exploit the natives in order to enrich their own pockets.

It can be said that what Cochin people dislike the most is the change of officials.

Because once the officials are to be replaced, it means that the group that has been fed and fattened by them will leave, and the newly replaced group of hungry wolves will have to be fed again.

Therefore, as in other places, once a new official arrives, the subordinate officials will investigate their past behavior and habits in advance, so as not to accidentally offend people, they have long been too lazy to do it.

Wen Jing was a little speechless, and looked at each other with Su Jing, Mr. Liang, and Ge Fangweng, and then Mr. Liang, who was the oldest, came forward and explained in detail about Lin Ruhai's running a school in Shanxi and helping the poor.

Of course, there is no trace of praise.

It's just that Mr. Liang is an old man, and what he said makes people feel very pragmatic and sincere, without any exaggeration.

All the officials were fascinated by this, and a county magistrate surnamed Cha couldn't help but muttered: "If we have such a grand scene here, your lord is really our reborn parents."

——The population of Jiaozhi is actually quite large, and its products can be considered rich.But why can't it develop?

After all, there are still few scholars here, and none of them can pass the Jinshi exam.

No one in the court kept an eye on them, no matter how hard-working they were, the plump and bright peaches on the branches could only wait helplessly for others to pick them.

As long as they can produce one or two Jinshi a year, the situation will be much better.At the very least, the officials sent to them will have some scruples.

Magistrate Zha still feels like a dream, and he is afraid that anyone who snaps his fingers will wake up from his dream.

Seeing the dazed and unbelievable faces of the subordinates on the left and right, Lin Ruhai spoke up and gave them a reassurance: "Our foundation here is weak, not comparable to Shanxi, and it is impossible to see results in a short period of time. But everyone can rest assured that since someone Lin has spoken out, he will do his best to make Taiyuan better and better."

When he told the truth, everyone felt relieved.

——What Mr. Lin said is quite pragmatic. Although there will be no major achievements in a short period of time, they are quite disappointed, but before Mr. Lin, there has never been an official who wanted to promote enlightenment among them.And for many things, as long as there is a beginning, it will be much easier to maintain later.

only……

Lan Zhizhou said worriedly: "My lord's idea is good, but where can I find the teacher?"

These days, scholars are precious, if not for special circumstances, who would want to come to this poor country?

But Lin Ruhai already had a plan in mind.

He smiled slightly, and gave them a reassurance first: "Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Wang, the new chief envoy of Jiaozhi, is my brother from the same school. If we do this by ourselves, it will definitely not be easy. But if we have the chief envoy With support, it’s much easier.”

Everyone didn't expect him to have such a connection, so they couldn't help but cheer up, and their confidence increased by three points.

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled: As long as you have confidence and drive, you will be fine.

That night, Lin Ruhai drew up a letter and sent his confidants to Jiaozhou Prefecture, the administrative office of Jiaozhi, and told him to hand it over to Mr. Wang, the chief envoy.

Naturally, this letter cannot be seen by others.

Because, the beautiful blueprint that Lin Ruhai drew for his subordinates was just to say everything that was beneficial to them.

However, if you want to implement it smoothly, you must naturally have a side that is beneficial to the court.

If not, even if the sage was far-sighted and agreed, the courtiers below would not be able to deal with it.

Whether the courtiers are cautious or short-sighted, Lin Ruhai can understand.

After all, if a barren land like Jiaozhi cannot see the benefits in a short period of time, it will be difficult for the courtiers to let go and invest precious educational resources in it.

And what Lin Ruhai was going to use to silence the group of courtiers was Qi Min.

Cochin has many dense forests, and the land is sparsely populated. Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has never figured out how many people there are in Cochin.

This is very detrimental to the rule of the imperial court, and these hidden household registrations are fundamental hidden dangers.

Doesn't the court want to solve this problem?

Of course I did.

However, firstly, the people of Cochin are tough and unruly; secondly, the relationship between the local people and the local people is extremely tense due to the violent exploitation by successive officials.

If these officials dared to propose to set up households as Qimin, the local natives would dare to make these officials dissatisfied.

The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away is not just a sentence.

Lin Ruhai naturally did not dare to raise it rashly.

Then he didn't mention it at all, and just added a procedure when promoting enlightenment.

Having said that, I have to talk about the imperial examination system of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The dynasty's checks on the household registration of the students were extremely strict, and there were also strict regulations on the origins of the scholars.

For example, those who have been slaves within three generations are not allowed to take scientific examinations, those who have been lowly in business within three generations are not allowed to take scientific examinations, and those who have committed adultery and criminal offenses within three generations are not allowed to take scientific examinations.

These three items are all officially stipulated by the imperial court.

As long as this rule has reached the local level, for some reason, there is another unwritten rule: if a daughter remarries within three generations, she will not be allowed to take a scientific examination.

This article is purely formed by the people. Although the imperial court does not agree with it, or even opposes it, the public opinion is hard to disobey, so it has to hold its nose and accept it.

And it is true that Lin Ruhai wants to promote enlightenment, and it is true that he wants Jiaozhi to produce a few Jinshi.

However, these did not conflict with his plan to register as Qimin.

Even, taking advantage of this convenience and the court's regulations, Lin Ruhai can ask clearly about the three generations of the students' ancestors when recruiting students.

Let me ask, these days, if there is an opportunity to study and practice calligraphy, who would give up?Even the natives who live in deep mountains and dense forests know that scholars have a high status.

At that time, there is no need to implement any tough policies at all, only need to subtly and gradually figure it out, Lin Ruhai intends to complete the population statistics of the entire Taiyuan Prefecture within three years.

After he started this initiative and saw the results, the imperial court will definitely pay attention to it and slowly implement it to the entire Jiaozhi.

In Lin Ruhai's letter to Wang Qi, he focused on describing this beautiful blueprint.I believe that with Wang Qi's personality, he will be happy to help him deal with the capital.

After sealing the letter with wax and ordering his confidants to send it out, Lin Ruhai felt relaxed all over.

He remembered that it had been a long time since he came to Jiaozhi, and he and his wife Jia Min hadn't tasted tea and discussed poetry together, so he wandered around alone and went to Hou Ya to find Jia Min.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he was stopped by Huai Su: "Master, please stay."

"Does Madam have guests?"

"Exactly." Huai Su said, "Today Madam has invited Mrs. Lan Zhizhou and the family members of the adults to discuss embroidery skills."

"Embroidery skills?" Lin Ruhai was slightly taken aback, "Madam's Suzhou embroidery is indeed unique."

Jia Min's embroidery was taught by Mother Jia specially invited an embroiderer from Suzhou. Although she doesn't like needlework on weekdays, she knows what she should know.

However, in the past, Jia Min invited officials and wives to come to his house to enjoy flowers, taste tea, visit gardens and so on. It was the first time to learn embroidery skills.

With the female relatives around, Lin Ruhai couldn't go in, so he had to retreat and went to the courtyard where Lin Ying studied.

It was not until it was dark that Jia Min personally sent a few wives out, and made an appointment to come back tomorrow.

"Ma'am, the master has come." Huai Su reported while waiting for her to take off her big clothes.

Jia Min said: "I'm just looking for the master, you send someone to invite the master over."

Huai Su smiled and said: "Madam is too busy and confused, it's time for dinner, master and uncle will be here soon."

"Oh, look at me!" Jia Min patted her forehead annoyedly, and said with a smile, "No wonder the master often forgets to eat and sleep. When this man is busy with business, it is really hard to think of anything else."

Mother Liu came in with a bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar, and when she heard Jia Min's words, she interjected, "My wife is only thinking about my master's well-being, so I don't feel tired when I'm busy."

"Why are you still working on your mother?" Jia Min hurriedly took it, and said angrily, "Mom is getting old, so she should take good care of her. If there is anything, just tell the little girl below!"

Mama Liu is 63 years old this year, which can be considered a very long life in this year, and Jia Min has not let her do errands for a long time, and there are two little girls who take care of her on weekdays, so she only needs to talk to Jia Min on a daily basis.

Originally, the climate of Cochin was too different from that of the Central Plains, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't want Mama Liu to follow her around.But Mother Liu was worried about Lin Ying, and insisted on following her. The two couldn't hold her back, so they had to let her come together.

Fortunately, Mother Liu has always been in good health, and she did not acclimate herself when she came to Taiyuan.

Mother Liu sat down with Jia Min's strength, and said with a smile: "How can you be tired after serving a bowl of soup? On the contrary, it's my wife. I've been dealing with those wives every day for the past two months, and I'm really exhausted."

Seeing Lin Ruhai working hard outside, Jia Min felt distressed, so he started from the back house and tried his best to help Lin Ruhai open the situation.It can be said that Lin Ruhai was able to gain the trust of the officials so quickly, thanks to the pillow style of these officials and wives.

Jia Min said with a smile: "The master has lost a lot of weight these days. I am very happy to be able to help him."

At this time, Huai Su came in and said that the dinner had been set, and the master and uncle were waiting for his wife to eat together.
