Lord of Fortune

When Han Mengqin was selecting candidates, he attached great importance to the character and aptitude of the students themselves.

Students with bad character are not allowed; students with good character must be tested for their learning ability.Those who are capable, the Shuren organization will provide financial support to let these people continue to study. Those who are not capable should not be hanged on the road of imperial examinations, and find another way of life as soon as possible. The limited resources in the organization must be used wisely .

It can be said that Han Mengqin and Lu Jingshen spent a lot of effort in the screening of these poor students and the communication with them.

Mr. Zhang is different. When he selects the recipients of funding, the selection criteria are not the character and ability of the students, but whether the recipients are obedient enough to support him all the time.

In this way, his speed is naturally fast.

Not long after, the students who needed his support stood in front of him nodding and bowing, their attitudes were extremely obsequious.Some people are lonely and arrogant, so naturally there are people who are chasing fame and fortune, and are willing to give up their body for money.

However, at this time, Master Zhang was dissatisfied again: "Why are they all children? Don't mention Juren, you don't even see a few scholars!"

Tong Sheng has just stepped into the threshold of the imperial examination, and he doesn't know when he will be able to count on it. Even a scholar, in Master Zhang's opinion, is still far behind!

The subordinate sent by Liu Zhifu to assist Mr. Zhang said: "Your Excellency, I don't know that the Juren Lord can directly seek officials. On weekdays, if there is a Juren Master in any county, the county magistrate will take extra care. They will even compete to give gifts to Lord Juren. Therefore, Lord Juren basically does not need any additional funding."

"As for the talents who need funding..." the man said in a low voice, "I have been here before, but most of them were sent away by you."

Master Zhang: "..."

Forget it, Tongsheng is Tongsheng, anyway, he just needs to gain a good reputation, and he doesn't expect these people to do anything for him, as long as they are obedient.

After the candidates who need funding are determined, in the second step, Mr. Zhang will start to let these people teach the common people to read.

In fact, Mr. Zhang really wanted to give the money to these scholars directly, and didn't want to bother with the follow-up matters.However, Han Mengqin's Shuren organization not only helped poor students, but also educated the common people, that's why it became so popular.Master Zhang thought about it, and he couldn't lose to her, so he followed the gourd and followed suit!

"Go to the village and let the people come to class tomorrow." Mr. Zhang said to the students he had chosen.

Those students couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words: "Sir, it's the busy season of farming, even if we don't review our homework and go to teach the villagers how to read every day, I'm afraid no one will come to learn."

It was spring at that time. As the saying goes, spring planting and autumn harvesting, this season is often the busiest time for the people.

Master Zhang frowned when he heard the words: "Then when is the slack time?"

"Reporting to my lord, it is winter. We planted the rice in spring, and then we have to fertilize and weed the rice. We can breathe a sigh of relief when the rice is harvested in autumn."

"Wait until autumn and winter?" Mr. Zhang was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

He intends to make a quick decision!If the efficiency is not high enough, how can Han Mengqin be overwhelmed?Besides, he didn't want to stay in such a crappy place for a whole year!

"Let you teach those people how to read, and you are also helping them. This kind of good opportunity does not come every year! You let them put other things at hand first, and let's talk after learning the characters!"

Since Han Mengqin had been teaching the common people for less than a month, he had already seen the first results. He asked people to pay close attention to the teaching, so the progress would be faster.

These students were stunned when they heard Mr. Zhang's words.

If they really do what the lord said, those peasants will starve this year!

However, those who can stay and flatter Mr. Zhang regardless of their face are not so noble in character.Anyway, they are supported by Mr. Zhang, at least their family will not go hungry.That being the case, whether the other family is hungry or not is out of their consideration.

Soon, the villagers of Qingshan Village were escorted to a temporary academy without being notified in advance, and the yamen servants were naturally borrowed from the prefect Liu and the local magistrate.

The villagers looked blankly at Shen Tongsheng who was sitting in the middle of the temporary academy, preparing to teach others, and did not understand what the officials and gentlemen wanted to do.

Then, they heard Shen Tongsheng say triumphantly: "Reading and literacy is a great thing, and only the masters can do it. If it were in the past, if you mud-legged people wanted to learn to read and write, it would be impossible for you to learn to read and write." It's wishful thinking! Now, Mr. Zhang has given you such an opportunity to learn calligraphy with me, you should cherish this opportunity!"

"Why do we need to learn to read? What about our fields?" The villagers didn't appreciate it at all.

"I've given you a chance to be a master, and you still think about what you do with that little land?" Shen Tongsheng pouted contemptuously: "No wonder you can only farm. Mr. Zhang asked me to teach you for a few months, you don't want to You have failed Master Zhang’s expectations of you!”

Only then did the villagers understand what Shen Tongsheng and the Mr. Zhang he was talking about were trying to do, and they were angry.

"Superhuman? We don't even have enough to eat. What kind of superhuman are we?"

"You detain us here and don't let us farm. Are you trying to starve us to death?"

"We don't want to learn how to read and write! We just want to go back and plant our fields! You-old-dog, get the hell out of here, or don't blame me for beating people!"

The people became more and more excited, and finally someone couldn't help but rushed up and shook his fist at Shen Tongsheng.

"What are you doing? This is the emperor's order. If you don't obey the emperor's order, are you trying to rebel?"

Shen Tongsheng was almost hit by that person's fist, and he was sitting on the ground in embarrassment at this time, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes looking at that person.

Not only Qingshan Village, but similar things happened in several other villages.

These students who have benefited from Mr. Zhang don't care what the villagers are thinking at all, what they care about is whether they can complete the tasks assigned to them by Mr. Zhang...

Soon, the common people erupted.

They destroyed the temporary academy arranged by Mr. Zhang, and beat up the gentleman sent by Mr. Zhang.Seeing that the situation was going to be out of control, the servants sent by Liu Zhifu to maintain order hurried back to discuss countermeasures with their masters. They did not dare to confront the villagers who were dazzled by anger.

Han Mengqin and Lu Jingshen have been paying attention to the news next door.

After knowing that Mr. Zhang had aroused public resentment in order to complete the task as soon as possible, his face became extremely ugly.

"Brother Jingshen, this matter is no small matter. Hurry up and report the current situation to the emperor. I will go to the neighboring state to find a way to appease the villagers. The Shuren Organization is your painstaking effort and it represents the face of the emperor. We cannot let it This kind of scum surnamed Zhang ruined it!"

In fact, they can just let the matter next door go, and let this matter get bigger and bigger.

At that time, Emperor Chongde, who was in a rage, would only punish those surnamed Zhang and those who helped him work as a slave to the tiger.

However, when it really got to that point, the Shuren organization's reputation in this state would be completely ruined. After all, the person surnamed Zhang was acting here in the name of the Shuren organization.Moreover, after a few days of delay, it is unknown how far this public grievance will ferment under the fanning the flames of someone with a heart.

Han Mengqin didn't dare to gamble, nor did she want to gamble.

She just wanted to stop it in time when everything could be salvaged.

"It's too dangerous for you to go, why don't I go." Lu Jingshen expressed his disapproval to Han Mengqin's words.

"This matter must be let the emperor know as soon as possible, otherwise, that Mr. Zhang may mess up again. Only your book can be sent to the emperor as quickly as possible. Don't worry, I won't go alone .Before I go, I will contact the Governor's Mansion and Liu Zhifu. They should be responsible for the security of the neighboring states, shouldn't they?"

Although Han Mengqin's tone was gentle, his attitude implied strength.This also made Lu Jingshen realize that Han Mengqin is not as gentle and talkative as she looks on the outside.

Few people can change the decision she made.

"Well then, be careful yourself."

Lu Jingshen wrote down what Mr. Zhang did after he arrived here, the reactions of the officials, and the emergency countermeasures he and Han Mengqin discussed after they found out that something was wrong, all of which were written in the memorial.

When Lu Jingshen's memorial was rushed to Emperor Chongde, Emperor Chongde accidentally broke his favorite porcelain vase.

He had expected that Mr. Zhang's trip would not be too smooth, but he did not expect that Mr. Zhang would be able to make the situation so unmanageable!They were doing a good deed, but Mr. Zhang almost forced - rebelled - those hard-working people!

But Han Mengqin, once again exceeded his expectations.She was able to go to neighboring states to appease people as soon as she found out about it, which shows that she is capable of taking on great responsibilities.

"I pass on my decree to dismiss Zhang from all positions and escort him to the capital for interrogation. From now on, Han and Lu Aiqing will be fully responsible for matters related to the Shuren organization. The local chief executive must fully cooperate."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Zhang: Didn't anyone know my official position from the moment I entered the stage to when I exited the stage?No!The officer is not convinced——

Stupid author: Oh, your official position, I don’t want to think about it
