Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 217
Seeing that the uncle and nephew had already walked out, the young girl flicked her arm lightly, and the bamboo basket was hung on a corner of the bamboo building, and then she followed up with light steps.

This manor occupies a very large area, not inferior to a small market town.Seeing Shen Zhezi appearing here, many villagers from the original Longxi Manor showed surprise on their faces, and rushed forward to say hello.Shen Zhezi also stopped, and asked with a smile how the villagers lived and worked here.

When Shen Hong saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little bit tasteful.In the past six months, he and these villagers have overcome difficulties and shared joys and sorrows, but his position in the hearts of the villagers is not as high as this nephew.In the past, he might not have paid attention to these things, but after working in the wasteland, he gradually realized that the simplicity and joy of the village people meant the affirmation of a person's ability and achievements from the bottom of his heart.

People in the village were more enthusiastic towards Shen Zhezi than they were towards themselves, which made Shen Hong a little unhappy, so he also planned to make Shen Zhezi not too happy.After pondering for a while, Shen Mu straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "Zhezi, in the past, elder brother spoiled you too much, and I wasn't at home to take care of your studies. Now that you have married, you should be more diligent in your studies. Recently Can you relax in studying economics? I will test you later."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help slandering in his heart. After all, the third uncle was arranged too close, so he should be dispatched all the way to Zhoushan, and he wouldn't see him several times throughout the year, so that he could be truly clean.

However, when he came here, he was also prepared. After hearing this, he laughed and said, "After all, I'm not in the mood to be content with studying. My brothers have to take care of my family's classics and morals. This time I come to Kuaiji, one will accompany my second brother Go to the He family to discuss marriage, and the second is to go to the Yu family to invite teachers for the family. If it goes well, Yun Rao and the others may be able to pay homage to the Yu family's Yu Xi Gonglu to listen to scriptures this autumn."

Shen Hongchu was a little displeased when he heard Shen Zhezi's words, but when he heard the end, he couldn't help raising his brows, and said quickly: "Yu Xigong is my great sage in Wuzhong, he really wants to take Yunrao and the others as disciples?"

Many celebrities in Jiangdong, such as the deceased Gu Rong, He Yu, and Shen Zhezi's teacher Ji Zhan, are all first-order scholars who have made great achievements in knowledge and achievements.And further down are hermits like Zhai Tang of Lushan Dayin and Yu Xi of Kuaiji. Although they are not famous for their achievements, they are also famous for Feidun Qingyi, and each of them has made academic achievements.The Shen family married the princess and asked Yu Xi about many etiquette issues.

Shen Zhezi is doomed not to seek any achievements in learning, nor does he have the time and patience.The development of the Shen family's cultural career depends on those cousins.

As a teacher of the Yu family, he didn't expect his brothers to learn something well-educated and famous.The most important thing is to send people to Yu's house to copy books. The last time I went to Yu's house to see the huge library, Shen Zhezi was quite envious.Send people to copy books for a few years, and when you have the confidence, you can carry out culturally remarkable innovations, that is, compiling history and compiling books.As for the more popular exegesis nowadays, it is better not to touch it for the time being, because it cannot be piled up with financial resources.

Shen Hong didn't know Shen Zhezi's deeper thoughts, but he was very happy that his son Yun Lai might be able to learn from Yu Xi as his teacher.He can also be regarded as the Shen family's arty and elegant, keen to drill into the cultured gentry. Many children like Shen Jun's nephew who is content with his studies the most. People like Shen Zhezi and Shen Mu who are restless in the house are not treated well by him. See.Especially Shen Zhezi, who assumed the title of Ji Zhan's disciple, but did not do a lot of work. In Shen Hong's view, it was the biggest waste!
Cui Ling, the lady from the north, walked behind them with her head bowed, but looked at Shen Zhezi from time to time, with a curiosity in her expression.Although she didn't know this lord earlier, she had heard of his name for a long time. Many former Shen family's shady households in the manor would mention this lord who was quite famous in Wuzhong when they talked about the lord's family.In their words, this gentleman is simply omniscient and omnipotent, the number one young talent in Wuzhong.

But after meeting today, listening to the conversation between the uncle and nephew, the lady didn't see that Mr. Lang is different from ordinary people, but his attitude is kind, and his vision is not high or low. Ordinary shady households can stop to laugh and chat a few words when they come to worship .As for the others, they are also similar to ordinary teenagers, they are restless and unwilling to study at ease.

As he was walking, a mountain pheasant with bright feathers suddenly flew out of the reeds beside the road, and flew across the road at low altitude.Shen Zhezi looked up subconsciously, but there was a soft sound behind him, and immediately a black shadow quickly passed through his field of vision, and then the mountain pheasant that had flown far away suddenly fell down.

Shen Zhezi was surprised, turned his head to look, and saw the little lady Cui Ling put away a bamboo slingshot with some dignity.

Noticing Shen Zhezi's slightly weird eyes, Cui Ling blushed subconsciously. She shot the prey with a slingshot completely instinctively. Thanks to this skilled skill, the father and daughter were able to save their lives in the reed pond.Seeing that mountain pheasant get carried away for a moment, he forgot that there are other people around him.

"Miss Ah Ling is very skilled in ballistics, I would like to ask for advice when I have time."

A servant rushed forward to fetch the pheasant, and saw that the pheasant was shot under the ribs, but the wings and feathers were not damaged too much. Shen Zhezi sighed even more for the exquisite bullet skills of this little lady.He is no stranger to slingshots, and there is a fanatic in his family. Apart from bows and arrows, Princess Xingnan is the most fond of slingshots. In Yuhang Lin's mansion, she chose several slingshots, but her skills are so-so. up.

When Cui Ling heard this, the embarrassment in his heart disappeared, and he said with a smile: "It's just familiar, it's really hard to be a gentleman to ask for advice."

As the distance from the manor gets farther, the view is an extremely vast wetland swamp, the continuous meadows are lush, and there are shallow waters everywhere under the low and lush reeds.Shen Hong boarded a bamboo raft first, then pointed to the swamp and said: "Because of the limitation of this mud pond, the large flat land behind the village is not easy to cultivate. If we can repair this place, the left paddy fields of the village will be connected into one piece, and we will open up the surrounding areas in the next year." , it will be able to go smoothly and benefit greatly.”

When Shen Zhezi also got on the bamboo raft, Shen Hong poked a penny into the water, bringing up a lot of smelly mud, but he didn't mind, pointing to the mud and said: "This is the best fertilizer for the grain field. This year's cultivation can have a good harvest, thanks to this benefit!"

Sure enough, the environment is the best way to train a person. Shen Zhezi didn't get along with the third uncle very much, but he also knew that in the past, this elder would never do such things, but now he is holding the smelly mud like a treasure, and the joy in his eyes is not inferior to the old farmer.

As the bamboo raft moved forward, servants swept away the reeds and thatch on the road ahead with bamboo poles, and gradually reached a high slope.There are many people standing there on the high slope, there is a sliding pole in the middle, and a man in green robe sits on it, surrounded by people.

Shen Hong, who was far away, shouted to Gao Gang: "Why did Mr. Cui come out of the village again? There are too many mosquitoes in this mud pond, it is really not suitable for you to rest when you are sick!"

"You have to see it on the spot, so you can draw a picture. My crippled body is not considered precious. The sooner things are done, the sooner the land will be reaped."

The green-robed man on the sliding pole said with a smile, and motioned the people around him to hook the bamboo raft to the edge of the high slope.Shen Zhezi walked up the high slope behind the third uncle. Before Shen Hong could speak, the middle-aged man held up a blueprint and asked Shen Hong to go over for details.When he got closer, he saw that the middle-aged man was empty from the knees down, with no feet at all, and the back of the neck was also festered with water poison like the woman he saw before.But he didn't take it seriously, sitting on the sliding pole, holding a sketch in his hand, and told Shen Hong what he had learned from the investigation.

Shen Zhezi didn't understand water conservancy at first, but after taking charge of dredging the Wuxing Waterway, he has almost become an expert in this field. He heard a middle-aged man talk about the idea of ​​opening a canal. The regulations are well-founded and can meet the current technical conditions. , seldom empty talk.In particular, that picture was actually drawn by the most professional Pei Xiu six body nowadays. The score, accuracy, etc. are clearly marked, making it clear at a glance. Law does not give way!

Shen Hong does not have such a huge accumulation of knowledge as Shen Zhezi, and when faced with such a professional problem, he can only nod to be taught.

After staring at the blueprint in the middle-aged man's hand for a while, Shen Zhezi pointed to an area above and said, "There should be a slight deviation in the accuracy here."

"Zhezi, you don't understand..."

Just as Shen Hong was about to stop Shen Zhezi from talking nonsense, the middle-aged man Cui Hui raised his hand to signal silence. He took the bamboo ruler and measured it on the drawing for a moment, his expression gradually became solemn, and he told the people around him: "Get on the bamboo raft, and go here to have a look."

So the two strong servants raised their sliding poles and climbed onto the bamboo raft with the help of others.Shen Zhezi and the others waited on the high hill for about half an hour before the bamboo raft returned, and Cui Hui who was far away bowed his hands to Shen Zhezi and said, "Mr. The previous re-measurement showed that there were quite a lot of deviations."

Hearing this, Shen Hong and Cui Ling from behind looked at Shen Zhezi differently.Shen Zhezi waved his hands with a smile and said, "Mr. Cui's construction is already very good, and this little omission has little effect."

Cui Hui was carried up to the high post again, but after hearing the words, he said seriously: "The ratio is determined, and the difference is a little bit, and the actual work will take a few more days. I just sit and sketch, and it takes a lot of work with a flick of the pen. , how can it be ignored!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Shen Zhezi again: "Before, I heard a lot from Zhuang people that Mr. Lang, the master of the family, was young and wise. From this verse, we can see that what he said is true. Mr. Lang can clearly see the end of the autumn, and the civil society he created will make the people live in peace. Le Geng, now that I see you, I will know that the age is insane, and the years are useless."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he felt a sense of confidant.The civil society he advocated was praised by Cui Hui, even though Qian Feng couldn't fully understand the deep meaning, probably due to the difference in experience and knowledge.Although Qian Feng has deep plans, he has never personally experienced the chaos in Shenzhou and the people who lost their homes.And the more turbulent the environment is, the more it can show the comfort of the people's society.

Regardless of other things, Cui Hui is worthy of Shen Hong's praise simply because he can see the deeper meaning of the civil society.
