"Don't worry, my lord, I know that the county government is tight on the money treasury, so the money for the county school hall this time, the lowly office has already thought of a solution, and there is no need for the county government to pay an extra penny!" Cui Geng said lightly.

"Is that true?"

After a pause, Hu Zeyi sat up from the recliner again, his expression was extremely serious, and he asked repeatedly with confirmation: "Is County Lieutenant Cui saying that there is no need for the county to allocate a penny, and this county school can also be built and put into use?" ”

Cui Geng nodded heavily, affirmatively, "Well!" "A bang.

This time, Hu Zeyi had to reconsider the preparation of the county school hall.

To put it bluntly, he really didn't think that Cui Erlang would be able to invite him to learn Zhenghe and teach and be able to afford to set up the Qingyuan County School. On the contrary, he wanted to make things difficult for Cui Erlang by revitalizing the county school, hoping that this guy could retreat from the difficulties and drive him out of Qingyuan County.

But now Cui Geng not only invited Tong Benshan and the children of the Tong family to come out of the mountain to serve as Xuezheng and the teacher, but also was able to set up the county school without spending a penny from the county government, which was greatly unexpected by him.

After all, Qingyuan County School has been withdrawn for so many years, and no county magistrate has been able to reorganize it during this period, but it has been revived when he is in office with Hu Zeyi, which is a big face.

Moreover, the revitalization of Qingyuan County School is something that Qingyuan students and the gentry of the county are looking forward to and looking forward to.

If it can really be successfully organized, it will not only not be a bad thing for Hu Zeyi, but on the contrary, it will be a great project of political achievements and prestige.

It doesn't cost him a trace of Hu Zeyi's energy, and he doesn't spend a penny on the county government, but he can revitalize Qingyuan County School again, which not only picks up a political achievement in vain, but also allows him to win the hearts of the gentry and students in the county in Qingyuan.

Hu Zeyi is different from Song Wen, he is a pure official, if he can exchange for greater political interests and the future of officialdom, he will not hesitate to put aside personal grievances and personal prejudices!

In this deal, he will win whatever he does, and he must support Cui Erlang!

He made up his mind without hesitation, and the whole person became gentle, and nodded with a smile: "Qingyuan County School is related to the imperial examination career of the students in this county, and it is urgent to revitalize the county school!" Since Mrs. Tong is willing to go out of the mountain to serve as a Xuezheng, and the county lieutenant Cui said that it can be organized without spending a penny in the county, how can this official, as a county honor, not support it? ”

This beautiful thing is said to be a righteous word, impassioned, Cui Geng who listened to it almost vomited, Hu Zeyi's sneaky thoughts, how could he not know?

However, he didn't expose it, but smiled and said: "Since you have the support of Lord Mingfu, the matter of preparing for the county school hall is more and more certain." ”

"Well, this is a good thing, a great good, and this county must support you! But—"

Although Hu Zeyi coveted the achievements and prestige of revitalizing the county school, he had already suffered a loss from Cui Geng, and he was definitely wary of this Cui Erlang, and then said cautiously: "This official still wants to hear how you want to set up the county school without spending a penny of the county government!" ”

Cui Geng didn't hide much, and directly prepared to send out invitations to invite the gentry, businessmen and big households in the townships and villages under Qingyuan County to participate in the charity dinner organized by the county school, and he said it 1510.

After hearing this, Hu Zeyi held his chin, his eyebrows were a little suspicious, and asked, "Will these people willingly pay for silver?" ”

Cui Gengdao: "The revitalization of the county school is a matter of great importance, and for the county, this is a matter of benefit to the present generation. Among these people, no one can guarantee that there are children who will come to the county to study, and even participate in scientific examinations in the future. Naturally, they are not so short-sighted. ”

"That's right," Hu Zeyi put his head on his cheek and said, "Then how do you need this county to help you?" Let's talk about it first, the matter of transferring money is beyond the help of this official matter! ”

Cui Geng sneered in his heart, damn, he is really insatiable, he refuses to pay, and he wants to reap benefits, this grandson ......

"Don't worry, my lord, I will never let the county government pay a penny," Cui Geng smiled and said, "The lower officials just want to take the time to drive the Drunken Immortal Residence to the banquet at three o'clock on the ninth day of the fifth month." If you can attend this banquet, you will be able to replace the official and strong! ”

Hu Zeyi asked, "It's that simple?" ”

Cui Geng said: "It's that simple! ”

However, Hu Zeyi didn't agree immediately, but he had another thought in his heart, and secretly said, looking at Cui Erlang's posture and confidence, the preparation of the county school should be confident. However, he was in charge of leading and Zhang Luo at this banquet, and the limelight was also stolen by him, didn't this official become a supporting role in the past? No, he can't be allowed to be in the limelight alone, and he can't be allowed to steal the lead, otherwise won't he be alone in this achievement and benefit in the future?

Immediately, he coughed dryly, laughed slightly embarrassedly, and said, "Lieutenant Cui, this official still has a reluctant request!" ”

Cui Geng said: "My lord, please speak!" ”

"Uh......"

Hu Zeyi twisted a little, and said stubbornly: "Do you think you can announce in public at that time that the charity dinner organized by the county school is led by this official and organized by Zhang Luo, the county lieutenant of Cui?" ”

Damn, it's shameless!

Cui Geng was once again defeated by Hu Zeyi's shamelessness.

Are you embarrassed to say this kind of thing?

This thing hasn't been done yet, you can't wait to run out to grab the credit? There is really no most shameless, only more shameless!

However, Hu Zeyi's request was exactly what he wanted. He was still thinking about how to make this guy bleed so much that night, so this girl washed her neck and obediently stretched out her head and sent it over.

Promise him!

Immediately, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your Excellency is a county and county honor, and it is really justifiable to announce that this matter will be organized by you." Rest assured, you will do it! ”

"Shhh...... Lieutenant Cui agreed? Hu Zeyi didn't expect Cui Geng to agree so happily.

Cui Geng said categorically: "The adult is the official of this county, how dare the pearl of the rice grain of the lower official take away the light of the bright moon of the adult?" ”

Know the times!

Hu Zeyi secretly praised, this Cui Erlang really knows the current affairs, but it's a pity, he is Dong Yan's person, and he can't always be in the same boat with me, and he can't be taken under his banner and used by me.

After sighing a pity, he responded: "Okay, on the ninth day of the fifth month, at three o'clock in the unitary hour, the drunken immortal building, the official must arrive!" ”

Cui Geng thanked him and did not forget to remind: "My lord, Song Hucao is also well-known in this county, if he participates, it will definitely add a lot of glory to the dinner." But the lower official ...... with him"

"Hey, what's a little personal vendetta for? It's all about the big picture! ”

Hu Zeyi waved his hand very happily and said, "Song Hucao, the official will inform him that he will definitely come at that time." ”

"Okay, there's Lord Laomingfu!"

can pull Song Wen, an old thing, to pit together, Cui Geng is so happy.

Soon, he said goodbye, said goodbye to Hu Zeyi, and left the county mansion satisfied.

……

In the next two days, Cui Geng successively met with Tian Wenkun from the North and South Warehouses, and Tang Fuguo, the familiar shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, even if it was his cheap father-in-law Cao Tianjiao, he came to visit.

As for the well-known gentry in Qingyuan County, the businessmen who are quite prominent, and the big families in the townships and villages who are quite wealthy, they basically all received the invitations sent by Cui Geng.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the market, and the limelight was quite strong.

When those poor students heard that the county school hall was going to be reopened, they were naturally overjoyed. You must know that if you pass the county and try to enter the county school, you will be a child, and you can enjoy the treatment of a student who is a student, not only has a place to study and hire a teacher, but also can receive a little money and food subsidy every month, which is definitely a big benefit. Qingyuan, who saw it, wanted to reopen the county school, and these poor students all praised the county government and praised the imperial court.

And some gentry families, although there is no shortage of schools and teachers, and they are not short of money, food and grains, but they can't bear to let their children go all the way to Putian County to study in the county. Now that the county government wants to revitalize the county school, it is natural to raise both hands in favor.

Only those businessmen and sellers are full of doubts and puzzles, this county government revitalizes the county school, it is our business? Why did we businessmen invite us businessmen to the charity dinner organized by the county school of Raushzi?

You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, the objects of participation in the imperial examination were much more lenient than those of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even foreigners who came to the Tang Dynasty could participate in the imperial examination, but these categories of people could not participate, namely: prisoners, monks, Taoist priests, and merchants!

Businessmen can't participate in the imperial examination, so it's our business to run a county school?

This is the unanimous thoughts and doubts of those businessmen in Qingyuan who are more well-established after receiving the invitation.

However, because it was organized by the government and an invitation sent by the new county lieutenant Cui, they had to take the plunge to participate. Because of them, there are two types of people who dare not offend, one is the scoundrel mountain bandits; One is the government officials, Xu officials, military camp Han.

The former can make them unable to do business, and the latter can make them unable to do business.

In the end, these businessmen who received the invitation privately connected in series, go, go together, and act on the spot!

……

On the ninth day of the fifth month, at noon.

Drunken Immortal Building.

Tang Fuguo asked the guys in the store to set up a big sign on the left and right sides of the door.

The sign on the left reads: Qingyuan County School organizes a charity dinner, the official designated venue.

The sign on the right reads: All the wine and food at this dinner are exclusively provided by Zuixian Lou!

As soon as the sign came out, it attracted countless onlookers and passers-by, pointing and whispering, Tang Fuguo stood at the door of the store to greet the guests who went to the banquet, and it was a burst of scenery.

It's time for the unitary.

Cui Geng took Yao Du to arrive at the Zuixian Building, and personally sent Song Genhai's fast catching class, more than a dozen people dressed up in soap clothes, came to the Zuixian Building to stand guard on duty, maintain order at the door, and was majestic.

It's two quarters in the unitary time.

One after another, guests held invitations and entered the Zuixian Building.

It's three quarters to the unitary hour.

An official sedan chair stopped at the door of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Song Wen, who was next to the accompanying sedan car, stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, and a person came out of it.

Tang Fuguo, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, who was standing at the door to welcome the guests, was sharp-eyed, and when he saw the person in the sedan chair, he secretly shouted, my God, the Drunken Immortal Building is going to be in the limelight today.

On the ground, he raised his voice excitedly, exerted all his strength, and shouted loudly: "This county is the county, Hu County has ordered Master Hu to come to our Drunken Immortal Mansion in person——"

Yes, Hu Zeyi finally came to the point.

Cui Geng's multi-day "County School Charity Dinner" officially kicked off!
