MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 114

"A group of eight, the eldest brother and the second brother each lead a group of people, how about a total of eighteen people?"

"They are all capable personnel selected from the martial arts school. Zhuang Qi is very satisfied."

Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoxuan responded: "The ones who come out of the martial arts gym are better than ordinary walkers. Since you and Zhuang Qi chose it, there must be nothing wrong."

"Xiaoxuan and I have been thinking about the products of the merchants for a while, and the most important thing is definitely the silk from the village. It would be too thin to be the only one."

Zhang Xiaoxuan said: "The village is rich in products, and we can bring a lot of things, such as poultry and local vegetables... In the past two years, the sauced salted duck made by Er Gu is very popular in the guest house, and many vendors are buying goods from the guest house."

Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said: "That's fine, live poultry is not easy to ship, and it's better to store it as a whole food."

Along the way from Siyang to Suzhou, you will pass through some small county towns. Unlike Siyang City, which is generally prosperous and full of merchants, there are not many merchants who go out to do business all the year round, and they are sometimes closed.

But if there are some new tricks, most of them are brought by the merchants.

Like a large caravan traveling, the goods they carry are precious tea, porcelain, and silk. People in small places can’t afford them. If caravans are not necessary, they don't like to go to small counties.

Their caravan mainly transports silk to Suzhou for sale. This small county town is the only way to go. Bring some local vegetables that are best-selling here in Siyang. .

"Small counties can't afford expensive goods, but some local goods can still be bought with this money." Zhang Xiaoxuan said: "In the past, these small peddlers often went to these small counties to sell their goods. Small things are easy to sell."

"The closed counties rely on merchants to buy fresh things. Our local vegetables will definitely sell well in the past." Zhang Xiaotian said: "The only worry is going to Suzhou to sell silk."

"There is no need to worry about this. Although Song Yong is no longer here to pick up the goods, the friendship we have had for so many years is still there. I have already written a letter. When our caravan arrives, Song Yong will send someone to meet him and recommend Suzhou. silk merchant."

"So there's nothing to worry about."

The business of the caravan has been planned for a long time. For this reason, the team is set up and set off quickly. It is more cost-effective to go there before the autumn harvest, and then go back after the autumn harvest. At the end of April, the caravan set off from the inn.

Zhang Fangyuan also went to the countryside to see off people.

In fact, he has nothing to worry about. Compared with the experience of selling goods, his elder brother and second brother are veterans, and they are much more familiar than him. However, in the past, they were small shopkeepers, carrying their own burdens and traveling north and south, but now they are on the surface, and the small team of two people has become a caravan of more than a dozen people. The business they do has not changed, but the form is different. Riding on a horse, the wind is mighty.

Seeing that people disappeared on the official road, Zhang Fangyuan went back to the village house again.

Mr. Zhang Ruili made a special confession that since he is going to the countryside today, he must catch two crickets for his entertainment. Tong Kao was approaching, his brother was so busy that he had to spend all his time on studying, and the master also put his mind and eyes on his brother, but he relaxed his discipline a little.

Zhang Fangyuan has always doted on Brother Li, and if it wasn't for some earth-shattering event, he would never respond to Brother Li's request.

He played with these things a lot when he was a child, and he was also very good at catching crickets. It was easy to find them when he went back to the field stalks in the village. In the past, there was a lot of sandy land in Haitang Bay, and we could often see them jumping around when we opened up wasteland. That's when we caught a few of them for Brother Xiaoli to play with and became addicted to it.

Now Haitang Bay has been taken care of by hired farmers, and the crops are lush and sandy land is rare.

When Zhang Fangyuan was wandering around the village, he happened to meet the village school after school, and a group of children came out of the school, dancing and making noise. In the early years when the school was first opened, the students who came to the school were of different ages, but all of them were illiterate. Even if they were of different ages, it was not a big problem to teach them.

A few years later, the first batch of children did not go to school, and the students Fei Lian waved to gradually became young children. In the past few years, the weather has been good, and the children of farm laborers in the village are occasionally sent to private schools to attend private schools, and the tuition fees can be lower.

"Urinating and urinating next to Wei's father, I can't write a few words properly. Seeing that I am about to reach the age where children can take the exam, if I continue to have fun and slack off studying, in the future, I think even a child will pass the exam." No. It doesn't matter if you lose face, you are ashamed to see others as a father!"

"The boy in the village who was sent to listen by the farmhand is about the same age as you. He has only been in the school for half a year, and he can read and write more than you. Tell me, have you read all the books in these years?" Into the dog's belly, I think it's your mother who spoiled you!"

After Zhang Fangyuan watched the students scatter, a familiar man in Tsing Yi came out of the school with a boy who was 80% similar to him, and the sound of reprimanding spread from the classroom to the outside.

The kid never opened his mouth, and let his father scold him. When he talked about his mother, he changed his expression, and replied with folded brows: "Mother worries about everything for me, so she is not used to me."

"You've learned to talk back! Is this the tutor of the Scholar's House?"

"Uncle!"

The boy was about to argue with his father again, when he looked up and saw a tall figure in the field not far away, he trotted over and called out.

Zhang Fangyuan nodded: "After school?"

"Um."

Fei Lian took a look at Zhang Fangyuan, and walked over slowly. He has been teaching for many years, and this man has put more emphasis on dogma and etiquette. He smiled and greeted Zhang Fangyuan.

"Fei Xiucai must be busy these days, there are not a few students in the village school, and it's almost time for Tongkao again."

"It's like this every year. It's not uncommon. There are indeed more students of the right age taking the children's exam this year than in previous years. I remember that Ruijin is also coming of age this year. I wonder if I can refer to it?"

Zhang Fangyuan responded, but Fei Lian was surprised. He knew that Zhang Ruijin was a student under Juren in the city. Every time the child returned to the village during the holidays, Fei Lian always wanted to go to the school to learn about it. False or not, the result was that the child was completely taciturn, and he was sent away with a few words, and the family members favored and favored him.

It has been three or two years since I went to the city to get started, and I have never tried to find out whether it is true or not. However, Fei Lian felt that the kid didn't fit in with others when he was young. He didn't know how to cry when he was born, and he didn't want to be questioned after he was enlightened. He didn't achieve anything after all. This made him feel a lot more at ease.

"I heard that Ruijin's teacher has only one student who can be used as a reference, and he has never brought any students. If Ruijin is free, you can bring him back, and I can teach him some experience in children's exams. After all, there are many students in the village school. Almost every year, students take the children's exam."

"Thank you Fei Xiucai for your kindness. I will bring him back when I have time."

Fei Lian nodded and tugged at his son: "We're back."

The child obviously wanted to have a few more words with Zhang Fangyuan, but he didn't dare to speak and stay because his father dragged him.

He looked back at the man in brocade clothes and crowned hair three times, his eyes were straight.

Everyone in the village said that his uncle was a low-key person, but every time he came back to the village, he could still see that his uncle was well-dressed and dressed, spoke and acted differently from the villagers, just like the stand out from the crowd written on the pages of a book.

His father always taught him that the merchants are small and the scenery is extravagant. In fact, they are not respected and admired by others. They have to study to have a way out. They can become officials and have power. for comparison.

Although my uncle's family was in business, he saw that it was not as bad as his father said. No matter in terms of prestige and status, he was second to none in the village, and occasionally he heard her mother talk about his uncle's establishment of a family business. He finds the matter very fascinating. Compared with his father who recites poems and writes lyrics every day, and regards his official career as a fantasy, he wants to manage business like his uncle.

If he had a lot of silver, then his mother wouldn't have to look at his little father's face, and there wouldn't be many quarrels at home, so it would be less hard work.

"I'm pulling my neck and looking at something, go back quickly."

…

The children's examination in Siyang City was in mid-May, and the registration was posted in mid-April.

In these years, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the lives of the people are also stable. Every year, more and more people study and take scientific examinations. As soon as the county government posted the notice, the ceremony hall was in full swing, and all those who went to sign up for the exam were lined up from the county government.

There are many people and there are many reasons. The population of Taiping in the world will grow rapidly, and there will be more children of the right age for the exam. In addition, there will be re-examinations for those who have not passed the exam in previous years. The children's examination is the selection of personnel from the lowest level of scientific examinations. If there are few children, there will definitely not be enough people for the scientific examinations at the next level.

For this reason, there are many people taking the test every year, but the pass rate is also the largest.

Zhang Fangyuan had brought Ruijin to register a long time ago. Although the father and son talked about it very early, they were still a little later than other candidates in the city, and they could only line up at the gate when they arrived at the county office. Most of the people queuing up consisted of one adult and one child, and naturally there were also servants accompanying them.

Originally, the family could also send literate servants to sign up with Ruijin, but Zhang Fangyuan still wanted to come in person.

Looking at the lingering long queue in front of him, Zhang Fangyuan raised his brows: "Next year you will come earlier."

Ruijin's brows twitched slightly when he heard this, and he looked up at his father who was looking around, he said: "Because Dad won't be busy next year, I should pass the exam this time."

Zhang Fangyuan laughed. Ruijin seldom joked. He felt happy when he heard it: "Yes. I saw you in the morning thinking about the registration, and I didn't even eat two bites of breakfast. There are many people lined up on the left and right. I Go buy you some food, and wait here for a while."

After all, people went to buy breakfast.

Ruijin looked at his father's back and smiled.

It is also quite trivial to register for the Tongsheng Examination. It is necessary for the applicant to fill in the basic personal information and go up three generations of resumes. This is actually quite simple, their ancestors were farmers, and it was only in their father's generation that they started business. The trouble is that we need to find four people who are also taking the exam. The five of them will tie up to avoid cheating in the exam. When one of them cheats, several people will have to sit together.

In the past years, some people were unlucky because they were implicated because their partners cheated, so everyone attached great importance to the character of their partners.

For a big private school, this is not a problem, after all, there are a lot of classmates, and if they play together well on weekdays, they can bond with each other. But he was the only one in Ruijin's private school who could take the exam, so it was a bit troublesome to find a partner, because it was the first time he was leaving, the master was very concerned about this matter, and arranged a partner for him in advance.

When Ruijin was in a trance, he smelled a fragrance, looked up and saw his father came back again.

It's nothing more than going to buy breakfast, but he even brought a bowl of hot noodles.

Looking at the surprised eyes of the people around him, he pursed his lips, if his younger father was in Lao Zhang, he would be scolded again.

"Specially asked the boss to cook your favorite fish soup noodles." Zhang Fangyuan held the bowl, and only handed the chopsticks to Ruijin: "Eat it."

Seeing that there were people carrying bowls while eating noodles, Ruijin ignored the impoliteness of eating noodles in the crowd, and took the chopsticks with a warm heart. The grown-up was scolded for wanting to eat.

It took a whole morning just to sign up. Zhang Fangyuan came to accompany Ruijin to sign up in person today. One is that he really loves the child, and the other is that he is afraid of the impact of his bad reputation in the past. But he was too worried, he didn't have any lawsuits on the record, and the county government was not tight, and he had a good reputation in the city these years, and he didn't have any obstacles.

The so-called people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After a change of appearance, several people still remember that he used to hang out in the city.

When the father and son came out of the county government office, they were drenched in sweat. They originally said they were taking Ruijin to a restaurant, but the honor of queuing up all morning to bask in the sun was really not suitable for them to go out again, so they decided to go back. All right.

Zhang Fangyuan had just sent the child to the carriage, and was about to climb up himself, when a voice came from behind: "Stop!"
