Chapter 108: The Boy (2)
After last night's victory, the mountain chief, Zhang Anbo, gave up the Qushui Courtyard to house the miners. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info once said: He and the lecturers no longer go to the council hall of Minglun Hall to disturb the disciples to deal with disaster relief affairs, hoping that the flood will pass quickly.
In the side hall, the mountain chief Zhang Anbo, Ye Jiaolang, Luo Jiaolang, Wu Jiaolang, and Zhiwu Monk are all there. Ring sat in the hall. Gongsun Liang left Wei Yang to stay in Minglun Hall and came to talk. Qiao Rusong, Zhang Sishui, and Liu Yichen are telling everyone about the situation outside.
Jia Huan and Pang Ze came in. The crowd was giving their opinions. It is good news that there are people who have artificially opened up contact with the outside world. Others think that without food, everything is empty talk. It will not solve the current predicament of the college.
This morning, the academy successively sheltered a group of miners from the coal kiln that was washed away last night. A total of 958 people were contained. Now Wendao Academy is under great pressure on food at this time.
Jia Huan saluted the mountain chief and the speakers, "Jia Huan has seen the mountain chief. I've seen all of you. He added: "I've seen Master Zhiwu." I've met all of you. ”
Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo sat on the couch in the middle, looked at Jia Huan kindly, stretched out his hand to help, and said with a smile: "You came just in time." We'll hear from you. "It was this nine-year-old boy with his strong will and outstanding talent who supported Wendao Academy and survived the difficulties.
Old friend Beizhili mentioned that Sha Sheng came to visit. In his heart, he was determined to strive for Jia Huan's fame. Because of his selfishness, he is not a gentleman, however, Jia Huan lives in Wendao Academy, how can he be indifferent? He wants to fight for Jia Huan to have a fair opportunity to show his knowledge, and he can't use age as an excuse to make Jia Huan clumsy.
The corners of Jia Huan's mouth flashed with a wry smile, "Mountain Chief, for today's plan, only our academy will pay our own money to buy food." There is no other way. ”
Ye Jiaolang looked at his proud disciple with satisfaction, and asked, "Why is this?" More than 1,500 people eat, and the daily consumption is very large. How can the academy have so much silver? You have to rely on the imperial court for relief. ”
Jia Huan knew that he hadn't answered yet, and the old man sitting next to the mountain chief Zhang Anbo said categorically: "Ye Xiansheng doesn't have to have extravagant hopes. When I came from Huangluo Town, the disaster relief strategy of the Governor's right capital for disaster relief affairs, Yushi Qigongshan, had already spread: the first priority was to control the water, the second was to restore coal, and the second was to reassure the people. ”
Luo Jiaolang snorted coldly and sneered: "Lord Qi is a good official!" ”
Restore the river, the water recedes, and traffic is restored. This is the most remarkable achievement. The Emperor could see it. The coal in Jingshi is broken, which affects life. After the coal road is restored, it will be praised by hundreds of officials and residents of Beijing. As for the lives and deaths of the victims outside the city, who cares? In the end, it's just a bunch of numbers on the cantata.
Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo smiled, didn't care about Luo Hong's complaints, and introduced the old man in green shirt next to Jia Huan, "This is my old friend, Sha Shuzhi." Seniors in the field. You can meet you. After waiting for Jia Huan to salute, he introduced to Sha Sheng: "Shuzhi, this is Jia Huan, the head of the Xinhai Year Academy of Wendao Academy, who was nine years old at the time. The lives of all the people in the academy can be saved, and it is all up to him to preside. ”
Beizhili Tixue Sha Sheng looked at the tired and thin young man in front of him, on the way to the academy, he had already heard Qiao Rusong and the three of them talk about Jia Huan's deeds, and praised: "Heroic boy! ”
Mr. Sha Shengsha's identity is still being kept secret. As a scholar, entering the academy before the college examination is afraid that it will be criticized by Shilin and too sensitive. The old gentleman's idea was to hide his identity. But when I heard that the lecturers and core students in the academy were not stupid, they heard a surname, plus they were friends of the mountain chief, most of them guessed it, but no one said it on the surface.
Tan Lang, Gongsun Liang and others, who knew the inside story, all smiled at Jia Huan's encouragement. Tixue is so praised, Jia Huan is only nine out of ten in this year's middle show.
Although Jia Huan has a lot of things to do and his spirit is also very tired, he still has the basic qualities as a candidate. In an instant, it was associated with Beizhili mentioning Sha Sheng. After thinking about it, he thanked him and sat back in his chair.
I breathed a long sigh of relief and a surge of joy welled up in my heart. He was also thinking about how to brush up on the favor of the great master. For example, submit a poem, an article, or something. Now it's a matter of just a few words. Looking at the praise of the great grandmaster, the favor is almost blown up, right?
Refreshing.
Next, the topic naturally continued to revolve around the matter of buying food. Gongsun Liang smiled slightly and asked, "Senior Brother Jia, you once said that day that you have a way to solve the problem of silver to buy grain?" He was "setting up a stage" for Jia Huan in front of the great grandmaster.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jia Huan curiously. Especially the speakers. They discussed that the issue of silver to buy grain ultimately depended on the connections of the mountain chief Zhang Anbo in the capital. The disciples of the academy speculated that Jia Huan might pay for it himself. Because Senior Brother Gongsun said that Jia Huan's family is very rich. Last time, I invited everyone to have a drink in the Drunken Immortal Building.
Jia Huan got up and said to the mountain chief Zhang Anbo: "The disciple wants to borrow something from the mountain chief." ”
Pang Ze, who was sitting next to Jia Huan, was startled. His first reaction was: Isn't it something that Cao Cao borrowed from the grain official in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? What Cao Mengde borrowed was a human head. But then he reacted that Jia Huan should not make such a joke.
Zhang Anbo smiled: "What do you like about me?" ”
Jia Huan said loudly: "The disciple wants to use the reputation of the mountain chief. In the name of the mountain chief, he borrowed money from all the villagers and potters in the academy. One tael of silver, 5 cents of silver per year. ”
The villagers and potters who fled are not stupid, who will not have some money in their pockets? He wants to release the fluidity of this part of the precipitation. Disaster relief is not just a matter for the Academy. Everybody has something to contribute.
The monetary system of the Zhou Dynasty: one tael of silver was equal to ten coins. A penny of silver is equal to ten ten. The pawnshop and lending industry actually refers to 30% or 40% interest.
One reason why Jia Huan set the interest rate so low was the college's ability to repay. It is impossible to borrow usury from the villagers. Second, it's because of human nature. Low interest rates will lend more than a lot of silver. With high interest rates, villagers will be even more confused about whether they have been deceived. It's human nature.
Of course, if Jia Huan plans to do a ponto-sales, with the current conditions of the academy, with some effort, he can really offer a high interest rate and suck out all the money. But he's not a liar. Isn't it good to repay less interest on the money you borrowed?
Zhang Anbo nodded and said trustingly: "You let it go." ”
As a scholar of his two lists, and as an official of the Imperial History of the Imperial History of the former Great Zhou Dynasty, he borrowed money from the villagers and could be recognized.
…
The proceedings did not last long. Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang and others have a lot of affairs, all of which are trivial matters. But it has to be addressed. The entire academy can operate and sustain without accumulating resentment.
Jia Huan took the precautionary shot to reduce the food quota per person in advance, and said goodbye to Gongsun Liang, Pang Ze, Qiao Rusong, Zhang Sishui, and Liu Yichen.
Monk Zhiwu followed out, "Amitabha, the head of the Jia Academy, the poor monk has something to say to you." ”
A few of the students left first. Jia Huan was talking to Monk Zhiwu in the cloister.
In early autumn, the afternoon sun carries a warm and cool atmosphere. If it weren't for this flood, what a leisurely and comfortable time it would have been at this point in time!
Monk Zhiwu and Jia Huan were old acquaintances, and they didn't pretend to be monks, so they asked worriedly: "Head Jia, can you maintain it?" At present, there are 1,600 people in the college. ”
It is undeniable that bringing back news and the outside world is a very morale-boosting thing. However, without food, everything is in vain. Don't forget that after the flood recedes, we will have to rebuild our homes after the disaster. And the new governor had no intention of taking care of Wendao College.
Jia Huan held on to the railing, looked at the courtyard, the woods, the corridor, and the Cangshan Mountain in the distance, and said in a relaxed tone: "Zen Master, we all survived such a difficult situation last night, what is this little difficulty?" ”
This is quite generous and heroic. The final victory is coming.
What is the last ray of darkness before dawn? The brave are not afraid! The wise are not confused!
Monk Zhiwu looked at Jia Huan speechless for a while. He was not an enlightened monk like his brother. When talking to Jia Huan, from time to time I have the feeling of "what you said is so reasonable, I am speechless".
Jia Huan said: "Has the news of our victory in solving the starvation of miners been transmitted back to Tanzhe Temple?" ”
Monk Zhiwu nodded: "I will send someone up the mountain in the morning." The senior brother replied: Buddha blesses. ”
Jia Huan smiled. He wouldn't argue with a monk that there was no such thing as a Buddha. Last night's victory was mainly due to a few warrior monks from Tanzhe Temple. In a group fight, they are all the leaders who are powerful, and they become a tailwind battle. No disciples of the academy died, 17 were injured. Some were injured in the first wave of battles. Some of them broke their feet during the pursuit. Three villagers died. 40 people were injured.
Monk Zhiwu asked a question he was concerned about, and said, "Head Jia, I heard that you have searched for Kong potters, what about people?" "This dangerous element needs to be kept under strict guard.
Jia Huan asked rhetorically: "Does the Zen master think that this kind of person is necessary to stay?" ”
Monk Zhiwu was dumbfounded: Jia Yuanshou, are you really only nine years old?
Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Zen master rest assured." The situation we are in now is not as dangerous as you think. It's difficult, but you can get through it. We will definitely be able to return to normal life and it will be better in the future. ”
After speaking, Jia Huan walked calmly towards Minglun Hall.
…
Jia Huan returned to Minglun Hall. The disciples of the academy were all excitedly discussing the matter of the grand master coming to the academy. The accumulation of years in the college, plus the children who have passed the government examination, the total number of students waiting for the examination is 28.
Seeing Jia Huan come in, Qiao Rusong asked Jia Huan for his guilt and said, "Brother Jia, I'm sorry, I messed things up." ”
He's so stupid. He even told the people of the governor's yamen that the situation of Wendao Academy was stable. You should be lying. In this way, we can ask for rice grain. This incident was that he and Shatixue chatted all the way and slowly came back to their senses.
And when he returned to the academy, he realized what kind of bloody crisis the academy had experienced last night. However, he was unable to bring back food, which made the shortage of food in the academy continue to worsen. At this time, his heart was full of self-blame.
Jia Huan didn't blame Qiao Rusong. He's too kind-hearted. Known as Qiao Houdao. But in this world, if you don't take advantage, you have to suffer. This has been China's national condition for a long time. The situation here in Wendao Academy is stable, and the Governor Yamen will naturally transfer resources to places where they are in short supply.
Everyone has a young age. Time, the world, and life will grind away the water chestnuts of young people. However, at this moment, the classmate is young, in his prime, and his scholarly business is in full swing. It's positive, high-spirited, uplifting. A beautiful moment that will be remembered and cherished in the future.
Jia Huan helped Qiao Rusong up, "Brother Qiao doesn't have to blame himself. There are difficulties, and we face them together. ”
Qiao Rusong was grateful in his heart and took the initiative to ask, "I am willing to go to the capital to buy food again." ”
Jia Huan agreed, "Okay." Let's first solve the problem of the silver for the purchase of grain. (To be continued.) )
