Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 171 Official’s Seed

Two people came in, one was Qiu Mochi and the other was Zeng Shigui. Lin Su has feelings for these two people. If he has two pure literary friends in this world, they are undoubtedly them.

Although their literary talents are inferior, their background is inferior, and they are not as important as Zhang Haoran, Li Yangxin, and Huo Qi, but in terms of their relationship with Lin Su, they are more pure.

Lin Su came forward happily: "Brother Qiu, Brother Zeng, why are you here so late?"

Qiu Mochi said: "According to my wishes, we should have arrived in the capital half a month ago, but Brother Zeng had to go to Haining River Beach to fight the flood. Wouldn't this delay be a delay? Fortunately, Master has helped, otherwise, we Maybe it’s really a mistake.”

Zeng Shigui scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother Lin's 40-mile embankment on Haining River Beach is impregnable. I just ate and drank there for free for a few days..."

He and Qiu Mochi met at Lin Jialiang's wedding.

At that time, there were only a few literati who attended Lin Jialiang's wedding, and they were all like-minded. As soon as he and Qiu Mochi recognized each other, they became friends. Qiu Mochi even visited his home afterwards, and the two of them were also in Jicheng. After walking around the river beach for a few times, Qiu Mochi sighed with emotion. They were also refugees on the river beach, but Haining and Jicheng were now two different places.

These words hit Zeng Shigui's most sensitive nerve endings.

In his opinion, Haining River Beach should be no different from Jicheng River Beach, right? Why did Qiu Mochi say this? Qiu Mochi smiled: The Haining River Beach in your impression was just the river beach in the past. The Haining River Beach now is the paradise on earth. One hundred thousand refugees are well fed and clothed warmly. Every household is building a house. You know what kind of house it is. ? It is stronger than a house made of blue bricks, and there is a big yard outside. In this season, flowers are blooming everywhere, like a fairyland on earth...

Zeng Shigui is like listening to a book from heaven, let's go and take a look!

So, he followed Qiu Mochi to Haining. When they arrived, the Lin brothers had just left for Beijing.

As soon as Zeng Shigui arrived in Haining, he plunged into the Haining river beach, visited several large factories, saw countless houses breaking ground, saw the dreamy smiles on the faces of the refugees, and also heard about Mr. Lin's masterful hand in renovating the river beach. His heart was completely moved by all the magical legends.

After ten years of hard work, what was he doing?

He really didn't think that far ahead when it came to making contributions. His most sincere wish was to change the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Jicheng Jiangtan, because he grew up eating the food of hundreds of refugees and wearing the clothes of hundreds of refugees. His own child could not read, but he was brought into the literary world by a refugee teacher!

Any bit of wealth he got was given to the refugees without hesitation. He dreamed of seeing a smile on the faces of the refugees.

His roots are among the refugees in Jicheng.

He didn't see the smiling faces of the refugees there, but he saw it in Haining, seventy miles away!

He also heard the biggest wish of the refugees, which is to guard the river embankment when the rainy season comes this year.

The Lin brothers had left Haining. He had once served as an official to fight for the Haining river embankment on behalf of the two Lin brothers. Therefore, he was on the river embankment during the flood season.

On the river embankment, he met Magistrate Yang, Baoshan, the disabled guards of the Lin family, and the directors of several major factories. Everyone regarded him as their brother.

Everyone also knew his wish. On the night when the flood passed safely, Baoshan drank too much and said to him: Just tell Mr. Lin, as long as he nods, all the 100,000 refugees in Jicheng will be moved there. Haining River Beach, what's the harm?

These words kept Zeng Shigui awake for the next three days and nights...

Is it really possible?

If he could, his dream would come true in the blink of an eye.

With this anxiety and excitement, he came to see Lin Su as soon as he entered Beijing...

Lin Su didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked, "Has Mr. Baoshan also come to Beijing?"

The three thousand miles journey, based on the cultivation of the two of them, would not be possible in three days. It must have been a mountain to send them here. So, what about the mountain?

Qiu Mochi smiled: "Master has gone back."

"Going back?" Lin Su was surprised: "I didn't offend him, right? He didn't come to see me or my second brother when he arrived in the capital?"

Qiu Mochi laughed loudly and said, Brother Lin, please don't be too careless. My master is not someone who is easily offended. He plans to build a college on the Haining River Beach to provide the children of 100,000 refugees with the opportunity to study. This I have been working on this for a while, as if I had been given a shot of chicken blood...

Lin Su's eyes widened: "Okay! That's great! I didn't expect that he would take action first. You told him that I would cover all the expenses for setting up the college. You can build it wherever you want, no matter how big you want it to be." Land, how much land will I give him?"

The livelihood of Haining River Beach has been solved, but it is not enough to solve the problem of livelihood alone. It must also have supporting education to become a real place of hope. If he follows his design, it may be naturally considered after the scientific examination. Educational issues, but now, Baoshan has started to deal with them.

It's great, it's great. With Baoshan's world-famous name, he will also have a bunch of friends. Gathering these Confucian-level figures who live in seclusion in various places in Jiangtan, this college in Jiangtan is no small matter.

Qiu Mochi said with a smile: "I really don't need you to approve this. When your old lady heard this, she was so happy that she already approved it! She said that you are in charge of other things, and you don't have to agree with this matter! "

Lin Su also laughed.

"Brother Zeng...how are you doing with your homework?" Lin Su turned to Zeng Shigui. Among his friends, Zeng Shigui was probably the only one he needed to worry about with his homework, because Zeng Shigui's foundation was still too weak.

Zeng Shigui slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Suyi.

Lin Su was stunned, as were Lin Jialiang and Qiu Mochi, including the girls upstairs.

They all know the relationship between Zeng Shigui and Lin Su. Considering their relationship, Zeng Shigui does not need to give such a big gift...

Lin Su quickly stood up: "Brother Zeng, what are you..."

Zeng Shigui slowly raised his head: "Brother Lin, I will never be able to repay the kindness you have shown me in my lifetime. But now, I have an excessive request. I hope Brother Lin can agree to it."

"It doesn't matter if you say so!"

Zeng Shigui said: "There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Jicheng, and they have been in danger of life and death for hundreds of years. Shigui was born on the riverbank of the refugees. He eats food from hundreds of families and wears clothes from hundreds of families. Children of refugees cannot go to school, but they give me money so that I can Participating in the scientific examination, no matter where the officials go, they dare not forget the suffering of the refugees. Today, the officials beg Brother Lin to allow 100,000 refugees from Jicheng to move to Haining River Beach!"

Lin Jialiang and Qiu Mochi looked at each other, surprised.

The girls upstairs also looked at each other.

Refugees moved to Haining River Beach, which was a big deal. Sister Chen also mentioned it that day, but Lin Su did not agree, because although Haining River Beach is large, it is not infinite. It is okay to house 500,000 to 600,000 people. Once the opening is opened, , the consequences are really beyond our control. If something goes wrong, refugees from all over the world will come here. Who can bear it?

Lin Su looked up at the sky for a while, then slowly lowered his head: "Brother Zeng, the migration of refugees is no small matter. Originally, I really didn't want to get involved in this, but I have been to Jicheng River Beach. There are indeed few resources there. There is no way to make money from the earth, so let them come, in phases and in batches, and I will let Uncle Deng and Uncle Dai arrange it properly."

Zeng Shigui was overjoyed and was about to kneel down, but Lin Su quickly stopped him: "Brother Zeng, you have never asked me for anything. This is the first time you have asked me, but you are asking for one hundred thousand elders. Your heart is so big, I respect you so much!”

There were tears in Zeng Shigui's eyes.

"I know all about your ambitions in life. Even if your ambitions are good, they must have a platform to display them. Second brother, in the next seven days, take out all the "Notes on the Holy Words" written by the great scholars in the capital and give them to Brother Zeng. , Brother Qiu, please make up for it... Oh, by the way, Qu Zhe can also take a look."

Lin Jialiang nodded lightly: "Brother Qiu, Brother Zeng, our brothers found some information as soon as we entered the capital. In the following time, we will study carefully and we will get something."

Qiu Mochi just paid it back. He himself was a disciple of Baoshan, with a superior family background and a fairly deep knowledge. He had come into contact with a lot of things like "Notes on the Holy Words" that were difficult for common people to access. However, Zeng Shigui was completely unfamiliar with it. Likewise, he was born as a real commoner and was very unfamiliar with the Commentary on the Holy Word. When he faced the imperial examination, he backed out. The most critical reason was that he was deeply afraid of the Commentary on the Holy Word. After the examination, Although he was nourished by Lin Su's twenty policy essays and made great progress in his poetry, he still had no confidence. He never thought that on his first day in Beijing, he not only solved the livelihood problems of his fellow villagers, but also gained the support of the great scholars in the capital. Note from the Holy Word, this extra lesson may really help him survive from a desperate situation.

They went and found a courtyard in Qu Mansion and studied hard.

Neither Lin Su nor Lin Jialiang said one thing, that is, the "Notes on the Holy Words" that Lin Jialiang took out was not written by the great scholar in the capital at all, but was written by Lin Su himself.

In this world, there is no great Confucian who can write such a "Commentary on the Holy Words" -

The wonder of this commentary on the holy words is reflected in three aspects.

One is precision! For thousands of years, literati from all walks of life have made various annotations in the long history of eliminating the rough and selecting the essence, discarding the false and retaining the true. Later, it was passed down and became annotations in textbooks, which are naturally accurate.

The second is popular! These annotations are for modern people who have no foundation in ancient Chinese literature. They are naturally easy to understand and explain the profound things in a simple way. The biggest benefit is that they can learn quickly. This point is particularly important, otherwise, Qiu Mochi and Zeng Shigui would be in vain to obtain the "Notes on the Holy Words" with only seven days left.

The third is comprehensive! This is the most difficult point. There are schools of contemporary academics. People of a certain school have a deep understanding of the classics of their own school, but a shallow understanding of other schools. There is absolutely no one person who is familiar with the classics of all schools, not even a true saint. It’s impossible to be omnipotent.

Only Lin Su understands, because...he stands on the shoulders of giants. Also, his super cheating device...

Zeng Shigui and Qiu Mochi would never have thought of this.

There is another person whom I can't think of. She is Qu Juan. Qu Juan did not go out to set up a factory with her sister because she had never been interested in business. Instead, she was very interested in Lu Yi's piano and pipa. At the moment, she was with Lu Yi. While discussing the music score, when she saw Lin Su coming over, she smiled: "You are still very concerned about my brother Zhe, but my brother Zhe doesn't need to read the "Commentaries on the Holy Words". What he reads is what my grandfather and seven great Confucians commented on. "Notes on the Holy Words", if you ask Sister Lu Yi to teach me how to play the piano, I will beg my grandpa to let you read those precious books..."

Lin Su scratched his head: "I feel sleepy when I read. If you beg me, I might not be able to finish it..."

You! Don’t know what is good and what is bad!

Qu Juan turned her head and ignored this heartless person.

Lu Yi patted her shoulder: "The time is too tight. There are only seven days left. No matter how good the "Commentary to the Holy Words" is, it will not have any effect. Don't worry if you are confident, sir. As for Qindao, are you willing? If you want to learn it, I will definitely teach you. Now you go and read the music score I gave you."

Qu Juan is gone.

Lu Yi handed Lin Su a cup of tea: "You know what you promised Zeng Shigui today was a bit rash?"

"Tell me……"

"There are rumors in the capital right now that you are rebellious and have ulterior motives. If you issue an order at this time, hundreds of thousands of refugees will move across the government and gather in Haining. This will give people a reason to talk."

"The rumors are just rumors, not evidence of guilt! It's nothing. I have left quite a lot of stories over the past year, not more than this one."

Luyi shook his head gently: "You are always so calm and calm, have you ever thought about another question? There are so many refugees in the world, how many can you take in? Haining's Shili River Beach can only accommodate at most There are 500,000 people, and we are currently just at the threshold of the flood. Once you open the door, refugees will rush in like crazy. Aren't you afraid that the Haining embankment will collapse under your feet?"

Lin Su sighed: "This is what I'm really worried about! But if I don't open this hole, won't there be an influx of refugees? It will be the same! What can I do? Can't I build a high wall to stop them?"

Green Yi also sighed, yes, there is no way to stop it!

The so-called refugees are originally mobile. They will flock wherever there is a livelihood. Haining River Beach has become a paradise on earth. Who doesn't want to go? How can they stop it? Build high walls and arrow towers? Shoot everyone who comes?

Lin Sudao: "The problem of refugees is like water. It should be drained rather than blocked. Only when all the governments in the world pay attention to people's livelihood can the disaster of refugee migration be prevented from the root."

The green-clothed man's wonderful eyes circulated: "The government attaches great importance to people's livelihood, and the world is a paradise. Just like what you described in your poem, the country of Furong is full of sunshine... right?"

Lin Su looked at her blankly: "Baby, don't interpret it like this, okay? You look at me with your big beautiful eyes and speak so meaningfully, as if you are saying that I want to rebel..."

Lu Yi stretched out his hand and closed his mouth.

The sun shines brightly in Furong Country. This poem is not particularly beautiful, but the meaning behind the words is very interesting. Furong Country, what country? Whose country?

Others may misinterpret it, but she cannot!

She is his little wife and cannot cause trouble for him.

The topic turned, and a pair of wonderful eyes in green fell on his face: "Sir, when you heard that someone was visiting, your eyes looked very strange... Who were you expecting to visit you?"

Lin Su smiled and said nothing. When he heard that someone was visiting today, his heart skipped a beat. He thought it was the Zhao family or the Zuo family.

There are only seven days left for the scientific examination, and it's time for these two families to come.

But so far, these two families have not come.
