Chapter 474 My brother-in-law is enlightened.
The emperor was so anxious that he almost didn't vomit blood. His slightly ailing body listened to the noisy ministers in the court every day, but they couldn't come up with any good solutions. It didn't take long before he fell completely ill.
As a result, the twelfth prince was so busy that he almost ignored his studies. He said that he was taught by the emperor himself, but in fact, he was either helping to approve memorials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony or taking care of his father in the Hall of Cultivation of Heart.
The eldest of the other princes was four years younger than him, so they really couldn't handle it. They could only come here every two days to pay their respects at most.
The morning court meeting became once every seven days, and the emperor naturally could not get up, so his personal Eunuch Qian and the twelfth prince read out the approval and conveyed the emperor's will.
However, this situation only lasted for less than a month. In the end, the prince was not punished in any way. Instead, the Ministry of War selected two more generals and led 20,000 soldiers to assist the prince.
The prince's prestige was completely lost, so much so that the princelings began to wonder if they were on the wrong side.
Not long after, the eighth prince was rushed back to the capital without any punishment. The emperor's attitude of clearly protecting the prince and wanting the eighth prince to keep him in check made the old ministers feel even more chilled.
The courtiers were talking a lot, and the people below were even forming cliques for selfish reasons. There were many treasonous remarks in the capital, such as "the emperor is in great danger".
However, because the emperor was not pro-government, many loyal courtiers were angry and had nowhere to vent their anger.
None of these national events affected the spring plowing in full swing in Qingzhou County.
Chu Chu and the others walked around again, and when they finished unloading the bamboo, the spring rain in Qingzhou County finally fell for two days. Although the spring rain was not heavy, it finally moistened the land.
The sky is blue, the ground is green, and the dust in the air has almost disappeared.
Chuchu's trip also allowed Luo Mei to go to Shiliu's house and give her a handkerchief that Shiliu had just learned to embroider, and tell her family about Shiliu's current condition, which made them feel relieved, and she didn't say she wanted to come see Shiliu.
Bamboo planting time is not so particular, so Chu Chu not only treated two patients on the way, but also brought back five beggars, all of whom looked to be between seven or eight to ten years old.
Zimo didn't raise any objections, but when he came back, he asked them to sign a death contract, and then handed it over to the guards, without letting the young lady and the old lady worry.
Back home, Jiao Zhongjue also sent ten people. Some were proficient in construction and craftsmanship, and some were suitable for management. He also made a special booklet with each person's name, age, habits and specialties, and what they were suitable for. The labels were clearly marked, which saved Chu Chu and Zimo a lot of worry.
In addition, he also wrote to Zimo and Chu Chu, saying that he had selected twenty more ingenious people and had followed Chu Chu's recipe and asked them to start practicing wine making in Zhuangzi.
However, Jiao Zhongjue still suggested to wait for the distillery to make the distilled high-strength wine, and then select a few people who had signed a death contract and were domestic slaves, all of whom were honest and responsible, and let them take on the work of distilling the high-strength wine.
Brother Jue's idea was for Chu Chu's sake, but Chu Chu was actually not worried. The method of purifying high-alcohol wine was not difficult, but if she wanted to make high-alcohol and pure wine, she couldn't do it without the set of wine-making equipment she had purchased. When she came out, she planned to take the high-end route according to Mr. Space's suggestion, so she couldn't be careless.
After coming back, Wenya was even more attached to Chuchu. She had taken good care of herself during this period, and her originally thin face had become a little rounder.
She refused to live at home and ran to them.
The wound has completely healed. She has played a lot with Qiuli and Hongying, and has gradually adapted to the fact that she has grown up. Although her words and deeds are sometimes childish, she no longer needs to take care of her, and she has two mothers-in-law to take care of her. , basically nothing happens in life.
But Wen Ya still refused to sleep by herself when she came over. She always slept in the same bed with Chu Chu. They ate and lived together every day, and they were closer than sisters.
Pomegranate's legs have improved a lot. Without conscious effort, you can no longer tell that the legs are disabled. But when the trouser legs are lifted up, the legs are still one big and one small. The muscles have not returned to their original state. It will take several years of exercise. A change, but it was enough to make her happy.
Now she often works with Yun Niang. In her free time, Chu Chu suggested that she practice martial arts with Qiuli and August and increase her leg exercises so that her leg muscles can grow as quickly as possible.
"Pomegranate, you can go back next month. Your parents and brother really miss you. If you go back, pay attention to your diet and exercise more and you'll be fine."
When Chu Chu told Shiliu, Shiliu's head shook like a rattle.
"I won't go back. The young lady healed Pomegranate's leg. I want to stay and serve the young lady.
The next time the young lady goes to Jing County, she will take Pomegranate with her. When Pomegranate goes back, she will tell her parents that the young lady will also sign a deed of prostitution for Pomegranate. "
To save Pomegranate, Chu Chu and Grandma Yan had no intention of letting others sell themselves. Pomegranate, unlike beggars, has a family.
But after telling her several times, Shiliu insisted on her decision, and Chu Chu and Grandma Yan stopped trying to persuade her.
Purely from the perspective of treating pomegranate, it is not an exaggeration to ask her to sell herself.
They believe that Pomegranate is loyal, and going back may not necessarily be a good thing for her. They will need more people in the future. Since she is willing to stay and help, it is better to cultivate her slowly and see if she can be a small manager in the future.
But this matter certainly cannot be decided by Shiliu alone. If she really wants to stay, she can only convince her family by herself.
Thinking that there will be eleven wineries in each county in the future, Chu Chu feels that apart from the hard objects in the space, what needs to be cultivated most now are people, their confidants.
Chen Jichang also told Grandma Yan that even if Mr. Li can really return to Beijing next year, he will definitely stay in Qingzhou for a few years. In the future, employees cannot all rely on Brother Jue. They also need some people who have been trained since childhood. A loyal servant.
This was the last time Chu Chu came back and reminded him that there was a student named Zhen Ziyue in Jingxian County School with a light red cloud on his head. Chen Jichang only thought of it.
According to Chu Chu, the red cloud on Zhen Ziyue's head was the same as Chen Jichang's original color before the exam. It is very rare for Qingzhou to produce such a talent.
Some things don’t need to be too deliberate, but it’s okay to cultivate them appropriately and give them a helping hand when you have the opportunity.
Over the years, because Qingzhou is too poor, the rich and powerful have all moved away, and there are not many students who can afford to study and have achieved success. If we had consciously given some encouragement to promising students early on, and given some of the best resources within our capabilities, Help, accept relatively outstanding students under your tutelage, and they will be your help no matter where you go in the future.
As for Zhen Ziyue, he had already had contact with him. When he was on a business trip last time, he also deliberately visited the county school. Naturally, he gave an encouraging speech to the students at the county school and became the object of worship among the students.
He even had the opportunity to give Zhen Ziyue a few words of advice. He saw that the child was kind and filial, and he had good ideas in his words. However, his family was poor and had delayed him for some time, and he had not been able to take the hospital examination. Sixteen years old and still a child.
Chen Jichang gave Zhen Ziyue and ten other outstanding students some kind words to the magistrate and dean of Jingxian County, and reminded the magistrate that the county magistrate should pay attention to the cultivation of outstanding local students and reduce poverty in the original Qingliu County schools. Share with students the experience of completing their studies and being rewarded academically.
He also listed to them examples of how his father-in-law and fourth uncle donated money to repay the county school after passing the exam.
How dare the county magistrate and county college principal not listen? They had heard about the Yan family for a long time, and now they knew that Chen Juncheng was one of the celebrities in the scientific examination last year, and they were full of admiration.
The county magistrate immediately allocated five hundred taels of silver to the county school, which was poor and had not received real attention. He also encouraged the county magistrate and county magistrate to attach importance to education, especially the education in Jing County. His heartfelt classic words were engraved on the county school. Prominent position eventually became the motto of the students.
