Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Poor relatives?

It's too late... I don't know if it will be sooner or later, I admit it, just follow what Lan Ling said.Even if the royal family’s manufacturing industry is eaten up by the inner government, it’s better than handing it over to a state-owned enterprise. After all, the inner government will follow the rules and regulations when buying my industry. It’s state-owned, although I haven’t had close contact with feudal state-owned enterprises. I don't dare to say that people really do what they want, but the shadow left in my heart is indelible.

Since it is the weaving department I proposed, it is of course me to take the lead. Cotton spinning is an emerging industry, but silk weaving and linen weaving are traditional Chinese crafts with a long and glorious history. Thousands of years of technology accumulation, there are many experienced professionals.

Although I feel a little awkward, I still have to admire the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry from the bottom of my heart. In just half a month, more than a dozen people who looked like experts have reported for work one after another. From the personal data, the lineup this time is much stronger than the previous preparations for the Agricultural School. , there were three seventh-rank officials among them, which was unexpected.

It's not easy. I scratched my head with a dozen personnel materials. Scholars are scholars. From meeting and questioning to working efficiency, they are indeed well-trained. They are refined everywhere and comprehensive in everything; , the several backbones of agronomy that I have cultivated are a bit dwarfed by comparison.Uncle Cao invested his capital. It seems that the Ministry of Industry has carefully screened talents in terms of sending talents. It can be seen from the age that, except for the highest grades in their early 31s, all of them are middle-aged people in their [-]s and [-]s. Springboard to lay the foundation for the Ministry of Industry to establish cotton spinning workshops in the future.

"There is no distinction between grades and grades in agronomy. You don't have to bring the set in the court to the college. From now on, everyone will call each other by the position in the agronomy. My county marquis is worthless here, and I will have fewer prisons in the future. Add another title." Kindly called this group of people to a meeting in the hall, Liu Rengui scolded for more than half an hour, announced the rules and rewards and punishments in the academy in detail, and got the newcomers present A look of panic.Those who didn't know thought they had entered a terrorist organization by mistake.The atmosphere was tense, and I was a passive red-faced person. Often when Lao Liu was giving lectures, I would sit next to him and smile kindly to adjust the oppressive atmosphere of the scene.After Lao Liu finished teaching me, I had to jump out and say a few words of comfort, the way of relaxation. "Since there is a destiny to gather here, we will work together to seize this opportunity and do our best to do something practical for the country and the people, and we will not waste the two salaries issued by the imperial court..." Looking around.He laughed and said: "Just kidding, but this also reflects your abilities from the side, and those who are capable get more!"

Liu Rengui's face twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything, but the atmosphere at the scene was not as cold as before. "In the past few days, let's take a look around the academy, communicate more with the old man, go to various places, and get a general understanding of the situation. Alright. I won't say much, and we will do some activities. See you in the cafeteria in the morning." She arched her hands around, exchanged eyes with Lao Liu, and left.

Liu Rengui waited for the crowd to disperse.Asked: "Listen to the meaning of the young prison, it has not yet been fully prepared?"

"There is no problem in the preparation, the key is that the manpower is not yet ready. The establishment of the weaving department this time is mainly for cotton spinning, and now only the Neifu family can produce talents in this field. They are still screening." Helplessly spread hands, "Neifu As a pioneer in the cotton spinning industry, the government is in their hands with technology and experience, and we need assistance."

"Well," Liu Rengui nodded, "So, doesn't the young supervisor also have a pilot workshop?"

"You mean to let these people come to me..."

"Yes, let them get familiar with it." Liu Rengui pointed to an inscription on the wall, "'Theory Combines Practice', the young prison was engraved on it when the agricultural school was established."

"Most of the workshops are girls and daughters-in-law, isn't that good?" Is it intentional to obstruct, all kinds of experts in agriculture go to their homes, but no man has ever been in the workshop except for anti-big bag, this time it's a hoot Going to more than a dozen, it seems a bit... "Machine. Wait a few days and the government will be ready. Our college can still simulate production." Since I am leading Lao Liu, I don't want to intervene too much, and I will withdraw after a few words.

At the same time, the Wang family and the Neifu selected a group of people to form a mixed group and entered the academy under the title of expert group.Dalai recruited a few experienced young carpenters from the machine tool maintenance department, with almost zero education, and all of them were silly, even with yellow robes and a body that looked like carpenters.I watched and frowned, "Did you deduct their wages?"

Dalai hurriedly shook his head, "There is an account book, but the maid does not dare."

"Then why do you look like a refugee? Haven't seen any food in half a month?"

"I don't want to go, and I don't dare to make trouble, the second wife has suppressed it."

"No wonder," thinking about the methods of the second daughter, he couldn't help laughing.Pointing at the counterfeit and shoddy experts in front of him, "Get out! What the hell." Turning to Dalai, he smiled and said, "Maidservant or something, you just claimed to be a good woman a while ago, why did you change your mind?"

"Second Madam doesn't please my ears," Dalai twisted his fingers and carefully took a wrong step to the side, pulling a little distance away from me.

"Oh, just follow the second lady, she always has her own reasons. But it's weird to hear." The second daughter is narrow-minded, this is a different way to remind Dalai to always remember her identity and control her. "This group of people are all free, so what to do, mess is not enough to shame money."

The Wang family did not participate in sending experts, and the cotton spinning industry had only started for a few days. When it came to experts, he was not as proficient as Dalai.After thinking around for a while, relatives and friends either have status or property, and it is really hard to find.Just as he was thinking about it, Steward Qian rubbed two big stone balls and brought two hands in. The old man's new hobby made him look majestic.

"Master Hou, you came back early today." Ever since he was named Hou, the word "small" was removed from the front of the old money, and he was working as an errand for the real Lord Hou. Start with a bad response.Blocking the corner of the corridor, "Don't damage your body from the wind."

"Hehe, don't worry, it's over." Looking at the two attendants behind Laoqian, they were surprised that they had never seen such a land at home.Pointing, "New here?"

"It's been half a month. The faces of Hu accountant, one is a nephew and the other is a nephew, and they plan to come to our house to learn how to do it. They first learned from the old man to learn the rules of our house." After speaking, he turned his head and kicked at the two younger students, "What about talking? When you meet Lord Hou, you don't talk about greetings, and you wait to ask him? The one who poked the stake behind?"

Seeing that the two youngsters were about seventeen or eighty years old, the one who was thinner was kicked out by the butler's strong legs, and it took him a long time to move over and salute me.

Looking at the two children who have never seen the world in front of them, I couldn't bear it.Nodded, "The housekeeper is doing it for your own good. Kick that one away. How old is it?"

"Seventeen." The young man reacted quickly, and I reported back before I finished speaking, and then flew out diagonally.

"Haha, forget it, kid, I'll understand in the future, don't tire Uncle Qian." I'd better not ask down my words, and the two kids were swaying in fright.It's too inhumane to say nothing.

The mention of my nephew reminded me that although Uncle Wang Xiu's family is a poor family, the children are all well-educated and unable to make much progress in their official careers.The weaving department of the Agricultural School is just an opportunity. Even if there is no chance of getting ahead in the future, as the technical backbone of an emerging industry, he can live a prosperous and prosperous life, which is much more comfortable than receiving help from others.

It is easy to talk among relatives.I have never been to a door that looks like my uncle's house. This is considered to be a disguised form of helping Zhang's family. I have to come to the door and explain clearly to avoid people's anxiety.

"You go too. Since I haven't moved around for many years, it seems kind to bring my daughter-in-law there."

"If the concubine goes in person, it's considered a formal visit, and it's troublesome to prepare." Ying couldn't make up her mind, "Why don't you forget it today, and prepare to go another day."

"What's the trouble with visiting relatives? The carriage passed by as soon as it was called, so I don't prepare. Is there a nephew running to show off at your uncle's house? Just dress like this. Let's go now." It was still early, and it was just in time for dinner, so we could make contact at the dinner table Feelings, let's talk about the matter now, and it will be easy to communicate in the future.

The small car, even the luxurious big carriage, I just sat on the side of the carriage and brought a few entourages with me.Free stickers and the like.He went to Zhang's mansion as if he was visiting.It was still the Duke's Mansion, but the green brick floor downstairs of Kemen had been in disrepair for a long time and had become potholed.The big pillars that were supposed to be shining red have long since lost their original color, and the gray and decayed wood is exposed from the mottled and damaged paint leather. Only the two big stone beasts in front of the door are still bright and mighty. The only witness.

"Just to rehabilitate people, not to mention subsidy, what the dignified Duke's mansion did is even worse than the back door of our house." Gai Ying was helped out of the car, "Don't jump, the road is uneven, be careful of spraining your feet."

Ying ordered her servants to go over to report, adjusted her clothes and reminded: "Don't say such things when you go in, just talk about family matters, don't talk about other places, and don't poke people's hearts."

While talking, three middle-aged people came out to greet him, they all looked alike, it seems that they should be some of Wang Xiu's uncles.I don't know how to call it, so the black-headed and black-brained salute to the juniors, and one of the older ones was grabbed by me, without saying a word, he turned his head and wiped his face, and dragged him in.The uncles' eye circles were all red. Seeing that Ying followed behind, they all held back. They sat in a circle in the clean vestibule, and they all looked at me carefully.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be 23." With tears in his eyes, the elder tried to keep his voice steady, and glanced left and right, "I hugged me when I was one year old, and my sister followed me because I was afraid that I would fall to the child, so I touched my hand I was asked to go back, and I have been talking for more than 20 years..."

Ying sat on the side and turned her face away to secretly wipe away tears. I felt sore and didn't bow my head and didn't respond. The uncles pulled the chairs closer, and I was a little embarrassed to see them sadly or happily.

"Zihao is promising now, so don't say those unsightly things before." The younger one got up and persuaded the elder's words, "He doesn't know him, and he said for a long time that he didn't know what to call the baby." Let me go He pointed at the front and introduced: "The one who was nagging was your uncle, and the one who looked at Ci is the second uncle. I don't know where the third child is. Maybe he's gone. You call me fourth uncle."

"Yes," I stood up and greeted the three of them respectfully. As soon as I got closer, my fourth uncle came over and patted me on the shoulder. Now, go back quickly, don't run towards Zhang's house in the future, if someone mentions you a few times, uncle will say you're dead, remember!"

"Shut up, fourth brother!" The uncle came up and slapped the younger brother on the head, "Are you a man with a heart? Dear nephew, you are kicked out of the door, are you human!"

"The troubles come and go, the Zhang family stinks, do you want to pass it on to the Wang family too?" The fourth uncle slapped me with a slap on the face without changing his face, and pouted at me. There is nothing to do with the family, go back and live a good life. Don’t send aid every now and then, there are hands and feet, starving to death deserves it.”

"Fourth brother!" The second child on the side couldn't listen anymore, so he grabbed him back, "Have a good day, don't say a few words! Others can pick it up, dear nephew, if you coax out, if the elder brother doesn't do anything, I will kill you!" I have to whip you!" Turning my face and smiling at me, "Eat a meal. It just so happens that everyone is here, so there is no reason to talk hungry."

"Which day is there not enough people?" The fourth child was pushed on the chair and still looked at me. Seeing me shaking my head and refusing to leave, I patted the armrest and sighed.

"I've stopped pursuing it a long time ago, uncles, don't worry about this matter." It's impossible not to speak up, you can see it.The three brothers still care about my nephew, especially the fourth brother, who is straightforward in pushing people away, but he has a true temperament.

"It doesn't matter whether we pursue it or not. Not pursuing the Zhang family doesn't mean that we can go to your Wang family, Daming and Mingming. It doesn't even make sense. How can you entrust the county?" The fourth uncle was a bit stubborn towards me. Helpless, "Eat, hurry up and leave. Don't tell me to save face in the future, don't recognize me."

"Don't worry about him," the eldest brother's face changed slightly after hearing what the younger brother said. "The Zhang and Wang families haven't moved around all year round. Everyone is used to it. Let's turn it over now, and it will remain the same in the future."

I nod.There is no way to do this. As the saying goes, seeing an uncle is like seeing a mother. The painstaking efforts of these brothers can be understood.Being able to close the door of my own house for such a long time, leaving a rich and powerful nephew outside to not talk about it, preferring to trap myself to live a poor life, my heart is not only sad.

Coughing a few times, "Agronomy is recruiting students for no other reason. I just want everyone to make an announcement." He took a copy of the brochure that was just drafted and handed it over. "Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with the imperial court. It is a discipline established in the name of the royal family to support the expenses. It is also to deal with the cotton industry that will rise in the future."

The fourth uncle grabbed the brochure from the boss's hand and bowed his head to scan it, "Which one of the three brothers do you think is suitable for the past?"

"Don't say a few words!" The boss waved his hand again, frowned and pondered for a moment, "Young supervisor? According to the young supervisor, I'm afraid I'm not suitable for someone my age?"

Smiling and asking for a head, it seems that although the words of the fourth uncle are not popular, they have reached a consensus among the brothers, and they began to call the position directly regardless of blood relationship. "The children of the clan, or have a chance to succeed, the uncles forget it."

"Get ahead? Whose land will come out? Then go into exile?" The fourth uncle smiled miserably, and thumped the handrail vigorously, "My good nephew, my Zhang family has taken care of you, and there are a few acres of poor land at home. It doesn't matter if you don't get out. The dolls in the clan work in agriculture and still have something to eat.”

"It's also farming. It's not what my uncle imagined. If my family doesn't say those things for the country and the people, there will be some results in the college. Don't talk about getting ahead in the court, and it will restore prestige to the Zhang family in the future. Just like me, the official It’s not big, but the family is rich inside and out, and when you go out, you have a reputation, you can’t get into trouble, there are advantages and no disadvantages.”

"Maybe it's a way." The second uncle who hadn't spoken for a long time interjected, "If it's just like what Zihao said, if it's just farming, it should be fine."

"Guozijian, didn't the second brother and I come out of it? Wasn't that for fame and fortune?" The fourth child shook his head, "It's not a private school. Since it is opened in the name of the royal family, there is no reason to wade in it if the water is deep and shallow."

"It's different. There is no official rank in the agricultural school. It is because the royal family deliberately distinguishes it from colleges like the Imperial College." These uncles are not simple. From just reading the brochure and just scanning it slightly, this ability is not something ordinary people can have.Looking at the fourth child, "It's actually the royal family's selfishness, ha ha."

"If you say that..." The boss helped his long beard, "It's nothing else, the Zhang family must not gossip about the Wang family because of this matter, it may be feasible for others, but..."

"I'm here to say hello. The Agricultural School is presided over by Liu Rengui. Although you can sign up yourself, I don't care if you succeed or not. The uncles have a discussion, and the nephew will not stop, so I will leave." Since they are all worried about me about other people's difficulties, don't take away the kindness of relatives.

Before I left, the fourth child didn't send me out, so I leaned in the vestibule and watched me go away. Looking back at him a few times, I suddenly felt warm in my heart. It was the first time in Tang Dynasty that I felt the concern of other than the three women around me, or maybe it was family affection. , These three uncles may have had a period of turbulent times, and their tone seemed to be at odds, but the three brothers were able to support each other and overcome difficulties under the same roof, and worked hard to maintain the integrity of a big family. It was indeed not easy.

"What are you thinking about?" After returning home, Ying sat on the kang without making a sound, making an exception and did not fiddle with the abacus, as if the old monk had settled down.

"A few uncles of the Zhang family," Ying let out a sigh of relief when I asked, "In this situation, I can still think about our family. The dilapidated family used wooden chips to pad the legs of the table, but they never spoke to our family. .”

"They're all stubborn people." When Ying mentioned it, I felt uncomfortable, "It's not easy to live on your bones."

"You can come from such an aristocratic family, do you think it is possible to study agriculture?"

"Yes, now I really hope that someone from the Zhang family will sign up. It's not because of our family's business, I just hope that someone from the Zhang family can come out. The time of self-isolation is too long."
