I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 430
Yang Mansion, Yang Xi looked at the food piled up in the front yard and frowned, "How much food did you send?"

Steward Xue held the registered name in his hand, "Each family has sent three stones of grain, and more than 20 have delivered to the house."

Yang Xi was silent, Xi Xuan said that he would donate more food. Obviously, the officials were reluctant to donate food to the government office, because once a few stones of food were donated to the government office, it would not be enough.

These people responded quickly, and when they heard that Yang Mansion was giving three stones of food every day, they all sent three stones of grain to Yang Mansion. I have to say that this flattery was good.

Manager Xue stared at the pile of grains, "Sir, are all these grains for porridge?"

Yang Xi shook his head, "It's too late."

After a long time of cooking porridge, it is not to appease the people, but to make the people feel dependent, and the gratitude in their hearts will gradually disappear, so that they can accept it with peace of mind. This is not the result that Yang Xi wants.

Manager Xue was a little worried when he saw the little servant running over, "Someone has brought food again."

Yang Xi said to Guanshi Xue: "You will receive food from anyone who brings it. I don't make porridge for these food, I will arrange it myself."

Manager Xue, "Yes."

Yang Xi held Zilu's fat hand, and the mother and son walked to the backyard.

Zilu tilted his head, "Mother, a lot of food."

Yang Xi lowered his head and teased his son, "How much is a lot of food?"

Zilu let go of her mother's hand and drew a big circle with both hands, "A lot of it is so much food."

Yang Xi couldn't help laughing out loud, "Is it alright for the mother to teach her son to count?"

Zilu straightened his chest and said, "Brother taught me, Zilu can count."

Yang Xi, "Is that count for my mother?"

Zilu raised her little brain, held her mother's hand again, and counted one step at a time.

I have to say that Yang Xi's eyes are proud. Their husband and wife attach great importance to the early education of their children, and the little guy is very smart.

In the evening, Yang Xixuan and Zhou Yu saw the pile of food when they returned to the house. Yang Xixuan saw that the front yard could not be piled up.

Yang Xixuan raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, I don't know, I think I'm publicly restraining food!"

Zhou Yu frowned, "The influence is indeed a bit bad."

But someone started, everyone sent it, and some calm and sober people had to send food, not to mention porridge is a good thing.

Yang Xixuan turned his head to the side, "I remember that some officials were not rich."

Don't think that Sanshi's food is not much, not all officials have wealth, and many officials have enough wealth to balance their expenses.

When General Bai was in charge of Ruizhou, he did not want to replace officials. Although the officialdom in Fucheng was complicated, some officials at the bottom of the hierarchy were still working step by step.

Zhou Yu recalled the information, "It is true that some officials have a hard life."

Yang Xixuan tapped his palm, "Speaking of which, I said that I forgot something, so I forgot about the salary issue. General Bai sent it to the officials according to the salary when the country was not destroyed. Tsk, seriously, the salary of the Wang family's court is really not high."

The salary was not even worse than that of the previous imperial courts. There were still some worthless banknotes in the salary. After the fall of the country, there was no money in the salary, but prices rose, and the salary was still not enough to support a large family.

Zhou Yu's heart moved, "Do you want to increase your salary?"

Yang Xixuan nodded, "If you want the horse to run, you need to provide enough fodder. The same is true for people, brother-in-law, can you help me calculate how much it is worth to increase my salary?"

As long as the salary is good, some officials with no background will not be able to accept bribes.

Zhou Yu, "Okay."

Dinner is ready. These days, there are fish, braised stew, sweet and sour soup, and fish soup on the Yang family's table, which are not the same every day.

Zhou Yu looked at the dishes on the table, "Is it fish soup today?"

Yang Xi nodded, "Well, tofu and crucian carp soup."

Zhou Yu likes to drink, "Then I want to drink another bowl."

Yang Xi smiled, "It really should be made up."

Yang Xixuan likes to eat dry pot prawns, "Well, it's spicy enough today."

Yang Xi first peeled the boiled shrimp for his younger son, "You were talking about it yesterday, and it happened that there were fresh shrimp today, so I asked the kitchen to make it."

Compared with the method with strong taste, she prefers blanching.

Yang Xixuan ate a lot of dinner, and almost one dish went into his stomach. On the other hand, Yang Xi and his wife ate a lot of boiled food.

After the meal, drinking tea to relieve tiredness, Yang Xi talked about the food, "I want to build an orphanage in Fucheng and open an orphan school at the same time. All the food will be sent to the orphanage."

Yang Xixuan, "This suggestion is good."

Instead of letting the orphans fend for themselves, it is better to collect them all and cultivate them, so as to screen out the available talents.

Zhou Yu also expressed his thoughts, "The military academy is established, Xixuan, you want to take the post of dean."

"it is good."

Yang Xixuan understood what his brother-in-law meant. As long as the students in the military academy would not bypass him, he would become their spiritual belief, thereby deepening their control over military power.

Yang Xi added: "The people of Fucheng only saw the food being delivered to our house, but people said that they didn't know what rumors were spreading. The government newspaper can be run, and at the same time, people will be sent to announce the use of food tomorrow, and by the way, it will be publicized. orphanage."

Lest the orphans hiding in Tibet do not know about the orphanage.

Yang Xixuan touched his chin, "I think the orphanage should be rebuilt."

Knowing the financial situation of the government office, Yang Xi frowned, "You need money everywhere."

Yang Xixuan said in a low voice, "I don't know about firewood, rice, oil, and salt when I'm not at home. Now that I'm in charge, I really need money everywhere. Fortunately, this year's taxation is about to start."

Thinking about it, there are so many things to do.

As soon as a few people started chatting, they couldn't stop, until the two children couldn't sit still, and it was very late.

Zhou Yu reached out to hug his drowsy young son, but Yang Xixuan took the lead and already took Zilu into his arms.

Zhou Yu stared blankly at Yang Xixuan, but unfortunately Yang Xixuan was not afraid, and waved his hand and hugged Zilu away.

Zhou Yu, "."

Yang Xi smelled the sour smell and took the eldest son back to the yard.

Ziheng whispered, "Dad is jealous."

Yang Xi, "I'm jealous of your mother, too. Zilu really forgot his father and mother when he had your uncle."

Ziheng snickered, "Zilu is still young."

Yang Xi is also happy with Zilu sticking to Xixuan, "Fortunately, you and I are watching, otherwise Zilu will spoil your uncle."

Everyone has double standards, and Xixuan's principles of Ziheng and Zilu have been lowered again and again.

The next day in Shanghe Village, as soon as the gate of Zhou's house was opened, two mahogany boxes were placed at the gate. This is something that no one dared to take at the gate of Zhou's house.

The doorman was puzzled. The two mahogany boxes were very large. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to open them in person, so he hurried back to report.

Zhou Bing and Zhou Lin came to the gate, and they both stared at the box.

Zhou Bing was cautious, and motioned the servant to open the box. There was no problem with the box that no one was guarding.

At the same time, Zhou Bing pulled Zhou Lin back into the distance, and Zhou Bing covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The servants are courageous. The servants in the Zhou family are all trained to open the box carefully, and if there is a problem, they will immediately avoid it.

The box was not locked, and soon the box was opened, and there was no accident. However, the little servant was a little stunned when he saw the contents in the box.
