The Eldest Sister Has Space

   Chapter 2737 Reading is the only way out

   "Why does this new county magistrate look even more impoverished than Master Xu? At least there are people around Master Xu. This Master Shao has no servants."

   "Isn't it? Look at his wife, there isn't even a maid and a maid by his side. The child is so young that he can only take care of himself."

"It is estimated that the life of Mr. Shao is not very easy, otherwise, he will not be assigned to such a remote place to be the county magistrate. The county magistrate who comes to our place has no background and no connections. Look at Mr. Xu. , is a poor country boy who was admitted to the jinshi, and was sent here because there was no one to manage, those who are a bit powerful, either in the capital or in the wealthy Jiangnan as officials."

"But this Mrs. Shao's wife is very affectionate and righteous, and she is willing to bring her children to accompany her to endure hardship in Jingping County. Mrs. Xu's wife has been staying in her hometown under the pretext of serving her parents-in-law, and she has not been in the past two years. See the figure."

   "That's right, our place is poor, and it's on the frontier. It's dangerous not to mention hard days."

   These words vaguely drifted into the ears of Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.

   The master who led the way also heard it, and his face was a little embarrassed. He secretly blamed those people for speaking without thinking. If they want to discuss, they have to wait until they are far away.

   Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong pretended not to hear it, they just looked at the environment of the county government office.

   Looking around, Gu Yundong is a little weak, this county government is too shabby, right? It looks like it hasn't been repaired for decades.

   "Did the former Master Xu always live in this Houya?"

The master was originally a little absent-minded, and only buried his head and led the way in front of him, so when Gu Yundong asked the question, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, Master Xu has always lived here, just in that room. ."

   He pointed to a wing room not far away, Gu Yundong looked over, and the surrounding room looked a little better than that wing room, and the two houses next to it even had crumbling windows.

  Gu Yundong frowned, "This county government is broken like this? Why don't you hire someone to repair it?"

The master clerk pouted secretly, and looked up with bitterness and hatred on his face, "No way, the county government is too poor. There is no money to find someone to repair it, so I can only leave it like this. Before, the county government was only with Master Xu and Master Xu and the others live here, and Master Xu doesn't care whether the environment he lives in is good or not, anyway, it's enough to have a tile to cover you."

   "The court should have some money, right? What about that money?"

"The money was taken by Master Xu to run the county school. The master said that there is a way out by studying. Because our Jingping County is poor, there are very few scholars. Originally, there were less than 20 students in the entire county school. To many gifted children, because there is no money to study, it is wasted, so most of the money allocated by the court is used to study for these children."

The master said, sighing and shaking his head, "Actually, what Mr. Xu said is true, that is, studying is a long-term thing, and it is even more expensive to be admitted to one or two people. Dozens? But Mr. Xu insisted and took out all his moon bills. Therefore, our county government naturally has no money to repair it."

   County school, Xu Ji had talked to Shao Qingyuan before.

   As soon as the master's voice fell, Gu Yundong saw a large piece of wall soil suddenly fall from the top of the wall not far away.
