Outside the gate of the Gongyuan in Fucheng, the crowd rubbed shoulders, and everyone rushed to the front. Suddenly the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and several potbellied officials in official uniforms came out, knocked on the gong, and shouted loudly. Said: "Stand back, let's release the list!"

But it turns out that today is Qiu Wei's release of the list, and these people who are squeezing forward are either servants who read the list for the master's family, or are scholars themselves. At this time, their eyes are all fixed on the yellow list, from top to bottom, Fearing that the name of the host's family or their own would be missed, everyone's faces were full of uneasy expressions, and then some people were happy and others were worried, depending on whether there was another name on the list.

Lin Hancai was also one of the candidates waiting for the results to be released, but he didn't have to squeeze with others, he had his own servants to do it for him, so he was anxiously waiting for news in the teahouse near the Gongyuan.Although he felt that he was well-prepared this time and performed exceptionally well in the exam, and he wrote like a god, but he couldn't feel completely relieved when he saw that he was on the list before the dust settled.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Hancai, who felt that his days were like years and was restless, finally saw his servant at the entrance of the lobby. In this way, he finally felt relieved, and only listened to the boy happily saying: "Officer, you have won, and you are still No. 10!"

Lin Hancai was overjoyed when he heard the words. He had passed the test last time and knew that his level was only above the middle level. This time he was satisfied to be in the list. , actually in No.10!

The people around were all students of the same grade who were waiting for the rankings to be released. At this time, they came up to congratulate Lin Hancai after hearing the good news.Lin Hancai came back to his senses, and thanked He Xi's peers, with a humble attitude, which was finally unobtrusive.

Unfortunately, the person in the box next door was the rich dude who approached Lin Hancai to buy his self-heating pot after Qiuwei's first exam that day.This petty official, surnamed Wang Minghao, was the son of a salt merchant in Fucheng. As the only son in his family, he was favored.Wang Hao also got the news that he failed the ranking at this time, but the failure was expected, and Wang Xiaoguan was not disappointed at all. If he failed in the exam, he could go back and inherit the million-dollar family fortune. father.

When everyone congratulated Lin Hancai, the door of the box next door also opened. Wang Hao was thinking about which restaurant to go to for a feast, when he saw Lin Hancai standing in the middle of the lobby!Wang Xiaoguan's eyes lit up, he really had nowhere to look for, and it took no effort to get it. He participated in an autumn camp that day, and he didn't remember what was written in the test paper. The scholars in the room remembered all the dishes they ate for three meals a day.

After asking no results that day, he searched various restaurants, but he couldn't find any dishes with the same taste. He asked his servants to go to Le County to look for them. Yes, I'm really worried, the more I can't eat it, the more I want to know how such a delicious thing tastes like.

Wang Hao happily stepped forward, pushed others away, and excitedly said to Lin Hancai: "Brother, fate! I met you again here!"

Lin Hancai was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the person clearly, he immediately recalled the scene of being grabbed outside the examination room to buy things, but at this time, he was in good spirits on happy occasions, so he politely said: "What is the matter with this young master?" ?”

Wang Hao immediately said: "Brother, you said that the food was produced by your academy, I sent someone to Le County to ask, but I didn't ask that your academy sells these things!"

Lin Hancai didn't expect that this person sent someone to Le County to look for something to eat, but he relished the deliciousness of the self-heating pot again, and thought in his heart that such deliciousness is indeed worth a trip.It's a pity that these self-heating pots must be eaten within half a month due to the mediocre antiseptic process. His self-heating pots and sauces are all eaten up now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to taste them next time.

Lin Hancai said: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't make it clear last time. Those meals were made by the head of the academy when he saw that it was inconvenient for me and other students to eat in the number room, so he asked the cafeteria to produce and sell them domestically. It was originally to deal with the special circumstances of the exam. It’s for sale. If you want to eat it, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for the exam in February of the next year.” What he didn’t say is that even if it’s the next year’s exam, the academy will only distribute it to internal students, and this young master won’t be able to taste it either. .

He didn't say anything, Wang Hao also guessed it.However, ordinary people like Lin Hancai are also unable to understand the thoughts of rich dudes. He never imagined that this prince would be able to transfer directly to Dongcang Academy for a bite to eat.Master Wang originally thought that his son would not want to go to school again because of the reason of failing the exam, but this time he saw him and asked to be transferred to Dongcang Academy, saying that compared to Rongshan Academy in Fucheng, Dongcang Academy has a better style of study. suits him.Seeing that he still has the heart to learn, Master Wang immediately agreed with a smile on his face.

After the release of the list, all major academies have gradually learned about the list of candidates for this year's autumn exams, but this year's Jiangsu and Zhejiang examination rooms are indeed a bit unexpected.The court stipulated that five Mongols, 11 Semuren, and 28 Nanren should be recruited for a total of 43 people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. However, in the actual admission process, the number of Semuren was often insufficient, and the number of Nanren who took the exam was more than [-]. Thousands, so the competition is fierce.

Lize Academy on Wuzhou Road is the birthplace of the Jinhua School and has trained many famous scholars, while Rongshan Academy on Fuzhou Road is the direct successor school of Zhu Zi’s Confucianism because of the essence of Zhu Zi’s learning. The most famous academies, candidates from the two academies in previous years almost occupied more than half of the admission list of Qiu Wei Zhongnan people, but this year, a dark horse turned out, and several candidates from Dongcang Academy in Le County, Fuzhou ranked among the best, breaking the record. The dominance of Lize Academy and Rongshan Academy.

This kind of phenomenon has made almost all other academies notice this Dongcang Academy, which focuses on practical learning and learns from others, and has been criticized by many people as "heresy".And Cen Yu, who was working in the farm instead of the supervisor Xie Shi, was hastily called back to handle the general affairs of the college, and he also looked confused, "Isn't everything already ordered, what else do I need to do personally?"

The subordinates told him the news that this year the academy has produced many applicants, and most of them are among the top ones. Why? I don’t know how to deal with it, please show me.”

Cen Yu was overjoyed, how dare these little bastards be so upbeat? !This is a rare piece of good news.

In the academy, many well-informed students also got the news of the announcement, and they were all very honored.Fu Yu was also one of them, and he also shared some gossip with others, "You don't know, the self-heating pot prepared for our candidates in the cafeteria of our academy is now famous among the students outside. Candidates from other colleges in the same examination room went to report candidates from our academy for disturbing the order of the examination room after failing the rankings. The examiner saw the report letter, good guy, the reason turned out to be that other people’s food was so delicious that he couldn’t eat and concentrate. This is not a joke!"

Gao Li laughed and said, "I'm not strong enough, but I blame others. No wonder he missed."

Cai Hua also nodded in agreement, "The things we prepared by ourselves are neither cheating nor violating the order of the examination room, so they can naturally be used in a fair manner."

Fu Yu continued: "My father has a business friend. His son said that he would transfer to our academy this year, saying that Dongcang Academy has a better style of study. However, the last time he was a guest at my house, But when he asked about the self-heating pots in our academy, I told him that we not only have self-heating pots, but also canteen meals that are more fragrant and delicious than self-heating pots!"

Cai Hua teased him: "Since you don't like self-heating pots, you might as well give me some of the pile you bought last time. I haven't tried that bald butter flavor."

Hearing this, Fu Yu shook his head vigilantly, "I didn't say I didn't like our self-heating pots. Those are my favorites. I don't even want to eat them myself. I don't know when they will be sold again in the cafeteria. , don't covet them!"

Han Ning, who didn't want to participate in the topic, reminded: "Mr. Xie said, it's best to finish eating within half a month. Be careful not to spoil your stomach."

Fu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I always open a can after eating one can, and I can guarantee that I can hide it for another month. Besides, if I have diarrhea, then I am willing."

Everyone shook their heads and started another topic, "I heard from Song Gong that a master of enumeration has come to the academy, and he will be the teacher of our students. Have you ever heard of the name of this teacher Qin?"

As Shanzhang's nephew, Han Ning naturally knew a little bit of the inside story, so he was not hesitant to share: "Qin Sui is the son of Qin Jiushao, and he is a mathematician who is hidden from the world. It is our honor to teach you."

Speaking of Qin Jiushao, there are few students here who don't know him, and they are all in an uproar at this moment, the new gentleman has such a great background, even the students who don't specialize in this field will be in awe, and look forward to seeing him style.

After eating in the academy cafeteria for two days, Qin Sui finally agreed to Song Xi and Han Ji's invitation to stay in Dongcang Academy as a teacher. He wrote a letter from home with his own handwriting, and this letter was accompanied by the pick-up carriage arranged by the academy. Depart for Meizhou.

----------

On this day, Xie Shi, who had been "tortured" by Master Qin's intellectual discussion, hid here at Meilinzhai Han Ji. Han Ji entertained him with the best silver silk water bud tea and asked, "Since you are troubled, why don't you just say no?" See?"

Xie Shi lay on the desk, resting his chin on his hands, emptying his mind of recalling the mathematics knowledge all morning, and said weakly: "That's so rude, and it's not troublesome when you say it. Everyone Qin is very measured, but he always feels that I am a hidden mathematics genius, saying that if I study further, I will become a generation of mathematics masters, how can this not make people feel pressured. Please, I am just a cook, at most I can be considered a farmer, if I can’t do it, I can’t do it.”

Han Ji was laughed at by his blunt words that were close to talking to himself, and looked at him with unconscious connivance, "He does have vision."

Xie Shi didn't hear clearly, and asked him what he said, Han Ji didn't repeat it, he just said: "I will arrange him to be a teacher for the students tomorrow, the whole day is full of lectures, I am afraid I won't have time to discuss with you." Thank you for your praise.

After talking too much, Xie Shi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and asked Han Ji: "What is the name of this tea? A few days ago, a student came to visit and forced me to give me a few lumps of tea, saying It is a worthless thank you gift. After I tasted it, I found that this tea not only looks good when brewed, but also has a unique taste, it seems to be the kind of tea you brewed today, Brother Han."

Han Ji paused, and suddenly said: "That student's surname is Han, and his single name is Ning?"

Xie Shi also came to his senses at this time, the tea that Han Ji could drink would definitely not be ordinary group tea, and Han's surname was rare, but these two people both had Han's surname, he opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise: " Han Ning can't be your son?!"

Han Ji: ...

There were two uncontrollable laughter faintly outside the door. Inside the room, there was silence, a long silence lingering between the two of them. Han Ji looked at him with dim eyes, as if to see if Xie Tanwei had finished his tea. in mind.

Xie Shi, who regretted it after blurting it out, just wanted to run away in place at this moment. If he hadn't lost his mind, he wouldn't have asked such a stupid thing.

Finally, Han Ji opened his mouth and broke the strange silence. He said lightly, "What age does Ah Shi think I am?"

At this moment, Xie Shi covered his face with his hands and pretended to be dead, he couldn't see his expression, but from his red ears, he could tell that he was embarrassing at the moment, and the vague voice came: "I was wrong, brother Ji is only twenty this year, and he is still only one The good-looking young man with both looks and youthful vigor can be said to be a model of youth in our dynasty and the head of contemporary celebrities!"

A low laugh came, seeing that Han Ji was no longer angry, he dared to put down his palm to beg for peace after flattering Xie Shi.

Han Ji looked at him with a smile, and said, "You're wrong again, Ji is twenty-six this year, never married, and has no children yet, Han Ning is my elder brother's son, my nephew, can Ah Shi remember?"

Xie Shi nodded quickly, and said obediently: "I remember, so Han Ning is your nephew... Wait? Han Ning is actually the second generation of the hospital?!" Xie Shi who reacted was shocked. This kid is really low-key, usually Li's words, deeds and style can't tell that he has such a big background!Thinking about it carefully, Han Ning does have a bit of Han Ji's shadow in his eyebrows and eyes. No wonder he felt kind-hearted when he first saw the child. Even the cool guy's temperament is like his uncle Han Ji...

"I never allowed him to go to school as the nephew of the head of the mountain. Ah Shi must keep this matter a secret." Xie Shi naturally agreed.

Seeing that Xie Shi had just had a big oolong just now, and he was still a little uncomfortable at the moment, Han Ji changed the subject thoughtfully and asked about Xie Shi's farm.

Because Xie Shi was caught up in Qin Sui's affairs these days, he didn't pay attention to the progress of the farm house for several days. Seeing that Han Ji was interested, he invited him to visit the farm together, and Han Ji happily went.

The farm of Xie’s family has completely changed compared to a few days ago. A series of square concrete bungalows stand beside the field. Although the interior is very simple, there are only wooden beds and some lockers. , but for the people who built and witnessed the birth of these houses, they were shocking miracles.

"As a mason, I have worked for most of my life. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this house was built in a few days. Look, such a strong wall can't be broken even with siege logs. The hole, the wind will definitely not blow away from this house, and the rain will definitely not come in, it is really a good house, a good house!"

"Is this good house really for us to live in?" Many people couldn't believe it. Even when the house was built, the manager had already told these refugees about it, but they didn't move in until the end. , who knows if this is a fake radish hanging them to work hard.Although Mr. Xie was a kind person, the refugees tended to believe him, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

After the house was built, the muttering became deeper. This house was better than they expected. It looked stronger than the houses of the rich people in their countryside. How could these refugees live in such a condition? nice house.

After all the concrete houses had been completed, Huang Wu rang the gong again to call everyone, including the original farmers in the farm, to start allocating bungalows to move in according to Xie Shi's arrangement.Although Xie Shi's original intention of building the house was to resettle these refugees, he could not treat the original farm households badly, so he planned it when building the house. If the original farmers wanted to move into the new cement house, they would also be approved. As for The old house that was vacated was used as a kitchen and storeroom, etc.

According to the wishes of the refugees and the farmers, Huang Wu divided them one by one. The whole family lived in a small one-story house. On the basis of separating men and women, the larger one-story house was used to accommodate the lonely refugees. Only the elderly and some orphans are left unaccounted for.

Many children showed apprehensive expressions, fearing that they would be abandoned again, and most of the elderly who lived to this age had already accepted their fate and looked indifferent.Huang Wu said loudly: "Next, announce the residences of the elderly and some children. Our master is grateful to the officials for their benevolence and caring for the orphans and widows. We have specially set up a nursing home. Anyone who is alone, orphaned or unable to take care of themselves can receive relief The courtyard, food, clothing and lodging, enough for every order, for the rest of my life!"

"The old people and orphans among you refugees are the first batch of occupants of the nursing home, and there may be other people in the future. This nursing home is located in the farthest field from the farm, and it is also the place where we In the big one-story house with three entrances that I built. The rest of the people arranged their own arrangements, and the old people and orphans who read their names followed me."

The three-entry house near the edge of the farm, many refugees thought it was a house built for the main family, but they never expected that it was actually a nursing home for the elderly and children who have no one to support them!Could it be that this thank you official is really a Bodhisattva descended to earth, who is willing to do such a kind deed!In the past, this nursing home was only opened by the royal family and the government.

The elderly and orphans were sent to the nursing home. Huang Wu also followed Xie Shi's instructions and selected a few women with good hands, feet and conduct from among the refugees and the original farmers. The orphanage received a monthly salary to take care of the elderly and orphans. Wang, who brought her daughter A Ping, was one of them. She was responsible for cutting and mending clothes for the elderly and children in the orphanage.

These elderly orphans don't need to do nothing, just sit and wait for Xie Shi to support them.There is a school in the nursing home, and Xie Shi paid for a few masters from rural private schools to teach these children. These children also need to take care of themselves and help clean the nursing home.The elderly also need to do some manual work as much as they can to increase the income of the nursing home.

Although it is not free to eat and live, these elderly orphans who can live in the nursing home and no longer need to wander from now on are very grateful. Many people secretly set up longevity cards for Xie Shi.

After the concrete houses were built, the refugees were reassigned to work. Some young and strong people who were good at farming were fixed to work in the fields, and those who were weak or not good at farm work were included in the logistics. Some people who were outstanding in mixing cement to build houses, A construction team was formed.It seems that Xie Shi, who is addicted to playing business games, now has cement, so he no longer looks down on the dirt roads and dry toilets in the past. After the house is built, the infrastructure has not yet been completely completed. The recruited construction team started paving the road. After paving the road, what awaited them was a new type of toilet, and perhaps other ideas that Xie Shi had come across...

At this time, the two of them were walking on the dry concrete road, and the bottom of the shoes was clean and free of dirt. Han Ji could imagine that if the horses and horses ran on such a flat road, their speed would be more than twice as fast as before. And the cost is low, this is a real weapon of the country.

Han Ji thought for a while, and asked the people around him, "Ah Shi thought, what is the world like?"

Just lamenting that the cement road is easy to walk, Xie Shi went in without knowing it, but he still said truthfully: "The dynasty will collapse, and there will be a new round of vying for the throne, aspiring to the Central Plains."

Han Ji had already expected his answer, but was taken aback by his bold speech, and asked again: "Then what kind of person do you think can become the master of the world?"

Xie Shi thinks that Zhu Chongba who won the world in history will join the general of a certain Xiang army in two years and start his life of Long Aotian.Xie Shi didn't know if history would repeat itself again. As someone who didn't enter the chess game, he only said at the moment: "Anyone is possible. Once the opportunity comes, a beggar on the side of the road may be able to ascend to the throne, but only the common people Those who take it to heart, worry about the worries of the people, and enjoy the happiness of the people, are the real masters of the world."

Xie Shi was about to divert from this slightly heavy topic, when he saw Qi Teng in the distance walking towards them quickly, and was instantly distracted, so he didn't hear the man behind him responding in a low voice A "good" word.

Qi Teng stepped forward to salute, and thanked him for his credit, "Teacher Qi fulfilled his duties, guarded the edge of the camp every day, and sent people to patrol at night. Thanks to him and some other strong men, these hundreds of refugees were able to settle down in peace. , no one dares to be a demon."

Han Ji glanced at him and said, "Thank you, Qi Si."

Qi Teng bowed and said: "This is a small job, I don't dare to take on the hard work of the master, and thank you for making the arrangement properly, we are just helping from the side."

Xie Shi said to Han Ji: "Now that the refugee affairs have been properly arranged, Qi Jiaoxi will be overkill if he stays here. Does the head of the mountain have any other arrangements?"

After discussing with Xie Shi, Han Ji asked Qi Teng to leave ten people to guard here, and he and the rest went back to the academy with other important orders.Qi Qi naturally responded and stepped back to arrange people.
