Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 395 I will remember this number
While the power of that conversation was still going on, Zeng Laosan told his second brother that he wanted to raise silkworms. Zeng Laoer said he would also help. The two brothers agreed on how and where to raise them, but they were unexpectedly opposed by Chi Chunmei.

Chi Chunmei had long been eyeing the newly built house in Pingbei Village. She had expected that she would be able to move in in a couple of days, but she had never expected that this fool would use the new house to raise silkworms.

She objected strongly, but this time her objection was of no avail.

In the past, Zeng Lao Er indulged her only because he wanted to use her aggressive personality to gain benefits for them. Now, they have different ideas and naturally have disagreements.

No one in the house paid any attention to her, and it was no use no matter how loud she shouted.

Unlike families like Zeng Laosan who need to wait for government inspection before they can try to raise silkworms, Jiang Chan and Luo Sanmu received silkworm seeds two days ago. They are currently in a specially vacated room in their home, listening to Boss Xu talk about things that need to be paid attention to during this period.

The two listened very carefully, repeating a few simple sentences over and over again, trying to memorize them word for word.

After Boss Xu left, Jiang Chan was still muttering to himself, fearing that he had forgotten. He quickly found his daughter Luo Yun and asked her to write down what Boss Xu had said on the door panel.

Jiang Chan has been attending literacy classes for some time, but her life is too occupied by trivial matters and her learning progress is not as good as that of her children who are locked up in school every day.

Looking at the words written neatly with charcoal on the door panel, Jiang Chan touched Jiang Yun's head. Seeing her turn around and smile at her, Jiang Chan hugged her with surprise, "My Yun'er is still the best. She is much more capable than your brother. That brat will never be able to eat official food in his life.

Yun'er, study harder and take the exam for law and mathematics in the future. If you pass the exam, you can work in the county government. If we have a daughter, we can let your mother and your father take advantage of us, so that your father won't have to stare at your uncle Dayou and drool every day."

Luo Sanmu beside him said helplessly, "When did you see me drooling?"

Luo Yun smiled and said, "Dad is not drooling, but he is very envious."

"Who wouldn't envy them? They are the ones who run fast, and they have become government officials and eat government food." Luo Sanmu sat on the small bench by the door and sighed three times, "My luck is not as good as theirs." Luo Yun got off Jiang Chan and walked in front of Luo Sanmu, "Dad, I heard from the dean that the government will definitely recruit more government officials in the future. By then, it won't depend on who runs faster, but on your performance in the literacy class. Only those with good performance will have a chance of being hired."

"Really?" Luo Sanmu felt even more annoyed after hearing this. His grades were not good. When the teacher taught him five words, he could recognize three on the spot and could still recognize two when he got home. But after waking up from a nap, the words would recognize him.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Chan joked, "Shitou looks just like you. You, as a father, didn't set a good example. No wonder he went crazy all over the village after he left school."

Luo Sanmu held his head with both hands, "It seems that I will never be able to be a yamen runner in this life."

"Why are you sitting there feeling depressed?" Jiang Chan said, "If I can't be the position, then I can't be the position. With my job in the nursery of the county government, who in the village dares to look down on us?"

Jiang Chan lowered her voice and said, "Take raising silkworms for example. I didn't see those families raising them first. They gave them to our family first."

"That's the government's smart guy. He's worried that the county government said raising this thing might not make money, so he didn't rob it. As long as the county government guarantees income, it won't be our turn."

Jiang Chan said with disdain, "You think too highly of them. They will surely be able to grab any job that can make money. How can they not be envious of my job of raising seedlings? Why don't I see their family members taking my place?"

Jiang Chan said: "This government office recognizes people's ability, not just their connections. Whatever task they assign you, it depends on whether you can do it well.

We should just work hard and learn our skills. Even if we don't become yamen runners, we have the skills and the yamen will remember us."

Luo Sanmu nodded, "I'm not as good as you. You understand more as you grow older."

"Don't say weird things." Jiang Chan went over and kicked him lightly. "Let's not say who is inferior to whom. We are a family. When I am not as good as you, you support me. When you are not as good as me, I support you."
