“…… You're quite clever, do you want to get back the lost field? ”
Since it was someone from the county government who told Ma Baochang in private, Hong Tao felt that this matter was basically the same as he thought. It's a very vulgar joke, but it's very common.
For the rich and unkind, for the unclear officials, it is not good to mix money and power together. This black pot is considered to be a back, unless he can go to the county government to overturn the case for the Ma family like Bao Qingtian.
But the reality is not, let's not say whether I have this right, even if I have, is the county official at that time still alive? First, there are no witnesses, and second, there is no physical evidence, and there is no shortage of people's confessions and procedures, can the case be overturned with just a few words from a child?
In case Ma Baiqing's father is really a smuggler of salt, wouldn't he have wronged the county official by forcibly overturning the case? Therefore, this account is not clear, and it is better to look up and forward than to dwell on the past.
“…… Grandpa said that adults are not bad people, and my family's land is not taken by adults. Ma Baiqing made Hong Tao stunned, tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that this matter was unlikely.
Even if this King Liang really wants to return his own land, grandpa will not ask for it, as the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor, why do you want such a great favor for no reason.
"Oh, you kid still knows that it wasn't taken by this king, I thought you were going to avenge your father, so you took this king!"
Looking at Ma Baiqing's grief and anger that could not be vented, Hong Tao finally smiled, although he didn't mean it, but every time he saw someone else unlucky, he couldn't help but be happy.
"......" Ma Baiqing was speechless, he also knew that he shouldn't hate this Liang King who he didn't know, but every time he saw the anger of the official, he didn't fight anywhere.
"How old are you?" Seeing that the conversation was about to reach an impasse, Hong Tao closed the offensive, intending to let the young man take a breath first, and then continue to torture, and it was boring to beat him down.
"Sixteen!"
"Oh, do you have any in-laws?" Looking at his appearance, Hong Tao thought he was almost twenty, but he didn't expect to be sixteen.
This age immediately reminds me of the past a few days ago, can I be my son-in-law? Although he said that he didn't care about his children's affairs, he always thought in his heart that he couldn't help but intervene when he saw something almost suitable.
“…… If there is no dowry, who will promise it to me! "Yes, this question may have touched Ma Baiqing's soft flesh again, and the hatred in his eyes became even stronger.
"Hey, hey, that's right, there is no dowry and no property, even if you marry, you may be an ugly bastard...... This king has a way to help you earn back the acres of land, maybe more than before, so that you will have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, do you want to hear it? ”
Hong Tao likes Monday and Sunday, not all of them are greedy for people's tall figures, but mainly because she has the temperament of a woman in later generations, even if it is just a little vague, it is very attractive to herself.
And Hong Tao also felt the same way about Ma Baiqing, this child was not as cowardly as other Song people, knowing that he was a great official in the imperial court, he could still not hide his joy and anger, and he was not stupid, it was very weird.
As the saying goes, like attracts like, and freaks like freaks. Even if he doesn't particularly understand the child's temperament, Hong Tao wants to give him a chance to know more.
“…… Why did you give it to me? "I don't want to be a lie, although my grandfather has loved him very much since he was a child, but the family property will eventually be divided equally among several uncles, and his own house will basically not fall into anything.
It's good to have grandpa here, but if grandpa is gone, then his fate is basically a tenant, and there is no way out. At this time, a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and Ma Baiqing didn't want to reach out to pick it up, at least he had to know what kind of stuffing was inside.
"Whoever said it was given, thought of it beautifully. If you go to Kaifeng City and listen to it, is this king a good man who is willing to give alms in vain? If you want to get benefits from this king, you have to exchange things for them. You have entered the county school, and you can know a few words, and you are not stupid. Benwang wants to run a school in the town, and he does not charge tuition and takes care of food and housing, and the children of rich and poor families can go to Benwang's school to learn the ability to earn money. Do you want to help Ben Wang with this? There is a salary, food and housing, and clothes and shoes every year, so you can learn real skills for free! ”
Through this chat, Hong Tao has roughly touched Ma Baiqing's temper, this child's nature and tutoring are good, and his eyelids are not shallow, he may not be able to win it by relying on small favors alone, and he is afraid of biting his hand if he gives too many benefits, which is very similar to himself.
Therefore, he should not feel that he is giving favors, and he has to make an equal transaction, at least on the surface, they will not suffer from each other. When he gradually understands it, he can't do without it, and he wants to learn if he doesn't give money.
"Learn how to make money?" As soon as he heard about running a school, the hatred in Ma Baiqing's eyes was basically gone, and it seemed that he was quite willing to go to school, but he had some doubts about the purpose of running the school.
"Naturally, after ten years of hard study, how many people can go to high school? Isn't the rest wasted? If the family property is quite abundant, then it is enough, and if you become the child of a tenant family, you can eat and drink for nothing in the past ten years. The king did not intend to teach them how to be officials, but he could teach them how to support their families. ”
Ma Baiqing can be regarded as asking the right person, this Liang Wang not only knows how to make money, but also takes the ability to make money for granted, which sounds really attractive to some people, especially the children of poor families.
"......" But Ma Baiqing still doesn't believe it, in his mind, officials are the worst people, and they will only ask the people for money and food. The officials from Kaifeng City should be even worse, how can it be the other way around?
"Have you ever heard of a carriage?" It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, Hong Tao can not only be reasonable, but also put the facts.
"There is one in the house of Liang Daguan in the south, and grandpa said that one car can buy half of the village!" Ma Baiqing has really seen it, in fact, Hong Tao has also seen it, so he asked this question.
"Do you know why it's called a carriage? Hey, hey, that's right, it was made by this king. When the court and the horse are all captains, Wang Xu, such as a fake package! Here, I'll open your eyes and see this. ”
At this time, Hong Tao is very much like a trafficker who abducts children on the street with lollipops, his face is full of smiles, but there is cunning in every shredded meat. The bare carriage was still unable to hold Ma Baiqing, and he took out the telescope again.
"Huh! …… Neighed...... "On weekdays, Hong Tao goes to the river and sometimes looks around with a telescope, Ma Baiqing has the same example, holds up one end and puts it in front of him, and then almost falls off the horse's back, stabilizes his body and changes his head, and there is a sigh."
"The king will make many rare objects, and learn any of them to make a fortune, such as a carriage, a telescope, and this pair of boots and this zipper. Fun, right? Do you want to learn? ”
After Ma Baiqing flipped over and played with the telescope, Hong Tao continued. This time the example is the zipper on his clothes, which is up and down, opened and closed, and Ma Baiqing's eyes are dizzy.
"......" Ma Baiqing smiled, laughing so embarrassedly. It is absolutely unconscionable to say that I don't want to learn, and I am embarrassed to say that I want to learn, and my attitude towards this senior official was very unfriendly before.
"A manly man, if you want to think about it, if you don't want it, you don't want it, why do you twist and pinch?" Ma Baiqing softened, Hong Tao lost his temper again, and this heat was indeed accurate.
“…… Think! Ma Baiqing didn't hate this official at all at this time, and he forgot about his family feud, with a smirk on his face.
"Well, from today onwards, you will be a teacher in the Wang Academy, in addition to learning your own skills, you will also find time to teach illiterate children. In addition, for every child brought to school, this king will give you ten literary wages, are you willing? ”
"I'm going to go back and ask my grandfather......" In fact, Ma Baiqing's heart has already succumbed, he can learn skills and make money, why don't he go, but he is embarrassed to agree immediately.
"Tell your grandfather, the school is not an optical skill, and when the farm is busy, we will go to the students' homes together to take turns to help, and we don't need to pay or take care of food!"
Qi Huo'er, even if the first student of the Yangtze Town School is there, even if the school doesn't know where it is, it doesn't hurt. As long as there are teachers and students, just find a yard and it will be a school. At this time, people don't pay so much attention to the campus environment.
And Ma Baiqing is not only a student, but also a teacher and admissions officer. Hong Tao has always advocated the use of all the resources at hand, and he really does what he says.
