Wang Yaochen sat down on the rattan chair, put the stack of official documents in his hand on the stone table on the side, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and stretched his waist, and asked Xu Ping, who was sitting opposite: "The weather has warmed up, when will your family come to Xijing?" ”

"It's this month, the letter has already said, but the specific date has not been set yet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Yaochen sighed: "When the family comes, I don't know if you will be more relaxed or tired." ”

Xu Ping shook his head with a smile, and after a while, sighed.

Although Lin Suniang came from a small family, she had everyone's demeanor, and in the same year, she was an exemplary figure of a good wife and mother. It's just that he has a strong temperament, especially when Xu Ping just returned to Beijing, he had a quarrel with Taiwanese officials, and since then he has become famous. Xu Ping himself didn't think it either, but his colleagues and friends were a little afraid of this Mrs. Lin, and they didn't dare to provoke it.

Although Xiuxiu was agreed by Lin Suniang and personally operated it, it can only be arranged in the outer room, which has already explained the problem. In the eyes of Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping's friends of the same year, I don't think Lin Suniang will back down on this kind of thing.

Jinshi was like a brother in the same year, and compared with others, Wang Yaochen knew more about Xu Ping's family affairs, and was a little worried that Lin Suniang would cause discord when he came to Xu Ping's house. And psychologically, they are on Lin Suniang's side, that is the wife, and the family contacts between the two sides are also presided over by Lin Suniang, who is a relative of these people. Although Xiuxiu has a lot of contact, she is an outsider in the hearts of these people after all, and she will not deal with Xiuxiu when it comes to serious matters.

Xu Ping is naturally not as pessimistic about his next life as Wang Yaochen, he understands Lin Suniang's personality, everything is strictly followed, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything out of line. It's just that after all, there are two families, and they are tired of coping.

After a break and a sip of tea, Wang Yaochen talked about business: "Two days ago, Zhang Dayou from Bishui County submitted a petition, saying that the county people had set up a society and hoped that the official would come forward to award him. The pleadings also went to Caosi, did Yun Xing read it? ”

"Recently, I have been busy, and many official documents are being handled by Deputy Envoy Yang, but I haven't seen what you said. But in the end, this is a good thing, the government should reward it, Bo Yong can allocate some money down, and it is good to buy some books and send them. ”

"That's natural, I've already arranged to buy some books in Xijing City and send them over. However, the official document of the loss said that the school club was established by the villagers themselves, and they only taught the children in the village to read and read a few words, and it was better to learn some arithmetic and agricultural affairs. Let's send some Zishuyun over, there is something wrong, and we have to find a way. ”

Xu Ping listened to it and said: "Why, didn't they set up a school club to let their children study and be admitted to the Jinshi?" ”

Wang Yaochen smiled and shook his head: "How many Jinshi are there in Henan Mansion in a year? Rural people send their children to school, and they can't study for a few years, so they go home to help with the work, how can they think about those rambling things. It's just that the people of Jingxi Road have a little spare money in their hands recently, especially the new waterways in Bishui County, where the new waterways are repaired, merchants come and go, and there are many doors, so that the children can recognize some words and have many ways out. If you really want to engage in the industry, how can those village schools be taught? ”

Xu Ping naturally understood this truth, but he didn't expect the people to be so practical and not impetuous at all. As you can tell from the name, the society is set up by the beneficiary farmers with money, and it is also a kind of club, but it is just a public welfare undertaking. In this era, it is impossible to popularize education, the level of social development does not allow it, and the willingness of the people to run their own schools is a good thing and should be rewarded.

One of the most important duties of the magistrate is to advise the people and form good morals under their rule, and the people's desire to learn is a very important indicator. When many magistrates took office, the first thing they did was to write "Persuasion", Xu Ping was in Yongzhou that year, and he would write one every year, and persuasion was an important part of it. However, at that time, the persuasion was still mainly based on the study of Jinshi, and I did not expect that practical civilian education could be implemented, but now the people have proposed it themselves.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said: "There are actually a lot of books on arithmetic and agricultural affairs, and when I was in the capital, I compiled several books. At that time, arithmetic was mainly taught to the officials of the three divisions, and some were not practical, so I found a few people to re-compile them after a few days. The books on agriculture are all suitable, forget it, and the transshipment envoy will reprint and issue them. ”

"Yunxing is in the third division, I don't know much about arithmetic, but I have really done a lot of practical things in farming. I've also read all of your books, the narrative is clear, simple and clear, and it's also very practical, and it's really suitable for village schools to teach. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "We are Jinshi in the same year, and when it comes to article rhetoric, I am far inferior to a few of you, so I am better at farming." You write splendid articles, I write about farming and raising horses, and we are each showing our strengths. ”

No matter how you learn it, Xu Ping can't learn the essence of Sili's literary style, and he is dwarfed in the article. The ancient texts advocated by Ouyang Xiu and others are actually more suitable for Xu Ping, but at this time, the atmosphere has not yet been formed, and the official articles are not used, so they can only break the idea of the word minister's upward path. Furthermore, if you want to write ancient Chinese well, you must first master the ornate contemporary literature, and then return to the basics. If you want to skip this step, it always doesn't taste right.

Wang Yaochen, as the champion, has gentle rhetoric and proficient allusions, which is not comparable to a half-witted person like Xu Ping.

After a few words of gossip, Wang Yaochen said again: "The loss is also our same year, this term of Bishui Zhixian has done a really good job, and when his term expires, I can help him." You are doing all the way to Caoxian, and you can always do it if you promote him to be a general judge. ”

"Well, in the county of Jingxi Road, the evaluation of losses can indeed be regarded as excellent. It's just that I'm afraid that it will cause gossip when the term expires, and when the term expires, I will choose a suitable state army, and I will sign it first, and there are several state troops who have not been sentenced to pass the sentence on this road. ”

Wang Yaochen nodded: "That's the best." ”

According to the qualifications of the officials, the two magistrates can be promoted to the general judgment, but how many officials can be promoted step by step? There are very few people who are really promoted to the magistrate for two terms, unless it is a Jinshi Jiake, or someone in the court is promoted, otherwise they will go around in the positions of magistrate, record to join the army, and judge, I don't know how many years it will take.

Signing a judge is a judge, because the official is a Beijing official and not a candidate, and the official name of the dispatch is the official affairs of the Signing Judge's Office, which means that when the Beijing official is appointed to record the affairs of the army and joins the army, the duties are not different, but the officials who serve are different. The general judgment is not available in every state army, and there are no small places, and the judge is acting as the representative. Because Zhang Dayou is a Jinshi B Branch, he can't convince the public when he is promoted to the general judgment, so it is logical to first do the signing of the acting general judgment and then be promoted.

The general judge is a state-level governor, and it is a big step to achieve this step, in the words of Xu Ping's previous life, he will be the leader of the prefecture and city level from now on. This is the same year of Xu Ping, give him such an opportunity, otherwise he doesn't know what year he will have to wait.

In the same year, Jinshi was a brother in the officialdom, his own people, and he inevitably supported each other. Xu Ping was the biggest official in the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, and when it was the same year as him. If you bring up these people, you will have a solid foundation, and you will not be able to do well without the support of your own people for the prime minister.

(Note: In history, the five years of the Heavenly Sage Jinshi did not form a party on the surface, but they were very grouped in private, and the number of people in the two provinces was also the largest among the Jinshi, and it was a large political force.) Of course, the core of this Jinshi in history is Han Qi and Wen Yanbo, plus Wu Yu and Zhao Zhi, who still have in-laws with each other, and now the core is of course the protagonist. ）
