The Shen family's art hall can be said to be the product of the failure of Shen Zhezi's education industry.

In his early years, he was quite ambitious, and selected a group of young people in his family who wanted to educate them to become the talents he needed. But with his transfer to Jiankang, the education of these teenagers is no longer sustainable, except for a few of them with good talents, such as Ma Ming and Chen Jia, who have been specifically employed, the rest have been abandoned.

Shen Zhezi was also a little distressed about how to place these teenagers. Although they have not yet reached the level of familiarity with the scriptures, their literacy rate is still good, which is considered a scarce talent nowadays. It would be a pity if they were left to waste. simply sent a message home and asked the third uncle Shen Hong to build a place similar to the Shutang to house them.

The so-called Shutang, that is, does not teach the warp and weft, only learns the arts, in short, it is a vocational training school. Shen Zhezi understands very well that he is not a technical talent, and many technical processes are known but not known, so he has paid more attention to the theoretical records of various technologies from a very early stage, and while studying technologies, he has maintained synchronous records.

Nowadays, these records are sorted out as ready-made teaching materials, and with the practice of each workshop, it will soon be able to cultivate batches of craftsmen.

Moreover, the villagers are very enthusiastic about this type of education. In their simple values, farming and weaving are just making a living, and the scriptures and righteousness are too vain, and these general affairs techniques are the foundation of the family. For a time, there were many applicants, and a large number of families sent their children. Today, many of the talents trained by Shudo have joined the management of various workshops and farms.

Qianxizhuang, which was used to train singers and dancers in the early years, has now been converted into a magic hall, and the scale is not small, and even a stepped training system has been formed. If you don't consider the literacy in the early stage, you can train a group of qualified craftsmen in almost two or three months.

Although there is no specific operation for Shen Zhezi of Shutang, there are strong rules on literacy, and even require these students to master simple practical writing before they are allowed to work. Because only in this way can we quickly accumulate first-hand practical experience, and then build a huge theoretical system, and closely link literacy with the production and life of villagers.

In this way, not only many poor villagers sent their children, but also many poor families who had no political capital, or the sons of families who had no hope of inheriting the family business, all joined the art hall to learn skills or simply cling to the Shen family.

Shen Zhezi returned to his hometown this time, in addition to taking a look at the development trend of his hometown, he also wanted to gather a group of talents to send to Yuzhou. The development of Wuzhong countryside has been on track, and Yuzhou will be the focus of business in the future, and it is also the real foothold of the Northern Expedition. Whether it is administrative or technical talent, it is urgently needed.

After traveling outside for more than ten days, after the Chongyang Festival, the family sent a message that his father was going to return to his hometown, and Shen Zhezi returned home.

After experiencing a division of the sect in the early years, the current Shen family Dongzong has not only not weakened, but has become more prosperous. This is because a large number of outstanding talents from the side branches have been absorbed, and as the Eastern Sect has become more and more prosperous, the clansmen who have been divided into sects in the past have also continued to beg and ask for a return to the genealogy.

In the early years, the division of the clan was to ensure that the clan could unite and reduce internal friction, so some sinister clansmen could only be swept out. But now that the Shen family has faintly become the leader of Wuzhong, it has received more attention, and for some of the sub-clan people who have indeed changed their deeds, they have also been re-accepted back, but the clan rules are inevitably stricter, and the power will not be given.

This time when I came back from a long trip, a large number of clansmen came out. Today's Shen Zhezi is no longer the childish man he used to be, not to mention his own position, just the name of fighting on the battlefield is already awe-inspiring.

For the excessive enthusiasm of the clansmen, Shen Zhezi also accepted it with a smile. The clan has great benefits, and after this period of observation and screening, he has determined that when he returns to the capital, he will bring a few cousins who are really capable, and he can throw them out to experience it.

After dealing with a group of clansmen, Shen Zhezi went to the back house to meet his mother Wei.

Probably because life has been more comfortable over the years, Mrs. Wei has not changed much except for being more wealthy, looking at her son who walked in, there was no lack of complaint in her expression while being happy, so Shen Zhezi sat down close to her, stared at her for a long time and sighed: "Your father and son are average, living in a foreign country all the year round, leaving the woman lonely at home. I finally returned to my hometown once, and then turned around and wandered in the countryside again! ”

Strictly speaking, Shen Zhezi is relatively unfamiliar with his mother, and it is not as good as discussing many topics with his father, and there is a tacit understanding that conspiracy breeds in the blink of an eye. Of course, this kind of alienation is similar to the atmosphere in the big family nowadays.

Hearing his mother's nagging, he said with a smile: "The son can't always serve in front of his knees, filial piety is indeed indebted." This time, when I returned home, I didn't go out anymore, and accompanied my mother to gossip to relieve my boredom. ”

As soon as Shen Zhezi's voice fell, there was an aunt next to him who said with a smile: "Mrs. Duyan of the county master is a man who has a number of fights and blessings in her arms, her husband is heroic, and Ah Lang is handsome and unique, and she is a worry-free countryman who no one can reach in Wuzhong." ”

When Wei Shi heard this, he was already smiling, pointed to the woman and said, "You, don't be envious, the things in your arms right now are what you will rely on for your future food and clothing." Careful cultivation of adults is meritorious to the family. ”

"Thank you for Madame's teachings, the concubine must never forget."

Originally, it was just a greeting and a smile, but the aunt felt solemn and courteous to the Wei family, and her demeanor was full of respect, and she didn't dare to slack off. Then she looked at Shen Zhezi again, and the smile on her face was even more earnest: "I still have to rely on Ah Lang to love and protect my servants." ”

Shen Zhezi smiled and nodded, he has been away from home for a few years, and there have been many additions to the family, in addition to one of his sisters-in-law, two cousins have been born one after another. The two aunts gave birth to children, but they didn't dare to have the slightest idea of competing for favor, just what Shen Zhezi saw a few days after returning home, every day he was competing to serve diligently in front of his mother, and his posture was even lower than that of ordinary maids.

Such an eager welcome also made Shen Zhezi sigh, he really pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Behind these smiles, there is no deep love for his son. However, several children are still in infancy, even if Shen Zhezi wants to take care of them, it will be many years later.

Wei was dissatisfied that his son had not been able to see each other for a long time, but when they really got together, there was actually nothing to talk about. Forced Shen Zhezi to stay by his side for half an hour, but after all, he waved his hand and let him go, but told him to take the princess back to the inner courtyard for dinner later.

After a few more days at home, Dad hadn't come home yet, but a group of unexpected visitors came to the door.

"People say that Wuzhong is rich, and it really deserves its name! The mountains and rivers of this township are beautiful, the fertile soil flows paste, the folk customs are also magnolia, and the food is full of flavor, which is really unbearable! ”

On the bamboo floor with a view in the Shen Family's Hundred Opera Garden, Yu Man's hand was holding a porcelain plate full of fish, eating while watching around the building, and occasionally returning to the banquet to take a sip of wine, his expression was extremely intoxicated, and his mouth was also praised. Most of the rest, such as Xie Yi and others, are also in this state, and they are very intoxicated with the idyllic landscape of Longxi.

Shen Zhezi was also quite happy about the visit of this group of old subordinates, and stood by the window and said with a smile: "Although this township is a little less prosperous in the capital, the long-term interest away from the hustle and bustle is beyond the reach of the rest. Now that there is a lot of turmoil between the two of them, you are willing to stay quiet and avoid trouble, so you may wish to stay for a while. Later, let my family Gorou take you to visit all parts of the township and enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and a few of them couldn't help laughing: "The horse is willing to do the friendship of the landlord, and we will naturally not be polite." However, compared to the beauty of this landscape, we are most curious about Wu Waxiu. I have heard that the Qianxi Trick in the horse family is a leader in Wuzhong's color art, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it this time? ”

They are both young people, and now they have no constraints from their superiors and subordinates, and everyone is full of interest and agrees with this kind of intriguing topic.

It's just that after hearing this, Shen Yun, who was accompanying him in the banquet, looked angry and snorted: "You group of fansies want to get it wonderful, but it's a pity that it's a few years late!" What is the demeanor of the people in front of my family, even I didn't have the opportunity to see it......"

"Shen Yun, you yourself are still milky, even if you see it, it is difficult to understand the beauty into the marrow."

"Yes, a childless like you is the age when you catch butterflies and crabs, and no matter how much you think about it, it's tiring. But this time you are lucky, the attitude is more deferential, I will take you to enjoy the fun of the couch! ”

Yu Manzhi stood in front of Shen Yun with his arms crossed, with a haughty smile of a Fengyue veteran.

Shen Yun glanced at the corners of his mouth disdainfully, but when he looked at Shen Zhezi, his expression was quite resentful, and he seemed to dare not say it with a lot of sorrow.

Speaking of this topic, Shen Zhezi was already a little embarrassed, and when he saw Shen Yun's resentful eyes, his face sank, and he said solemnly: "It's really unreasonable!" When you are in the prime of life, you should be sensitive to virtue and ability, and be diligent in royal affairs, how can you indulge in wine! ”

After all, there is a long-term accumulation, everyone heard Shen Zhezi's scolding, and hurriedly retracted their smiles, and sat back in place one by one, but looked at Shen Yun with puzzled eyes, and didn't know why it seemed to have violated some taboo topic.

Because Shen Zhezi straightened his face, everyone didn't dare to say anything more about the nonsense, and the banquet did not disperse until the evening, and a group of people stayed in Longxi Village. Then Shen Zhezi arranged for Shen Yun to take them to wander around the countryside, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Wukang's thriving wealth.

However, this group of people did not take it easy for long, and soon after their arrival, news came from Jingkou. The moment he received the news just now, Shen Zhezi was surprised and couldn't help but be a little ashamed, he originally thought that this group of people was grateful for their old friendship, but he didn't expect that they absconded to him for fear of crime.

"Get those guys back!"
