Zhou Tingyu frowned slightly, and finally ordered his subordinates to continue discussing the prevention of the plague, and walked out of the lobby.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhixian's expression was slightly displeased.

Zhou Yu raised his hand to close the door, and said softly, "Father, this way."

Zhou Zhixian suspiciously followed Zhou Yu to a secluded place, Zhou Yu handed the two pages of paper to Zhou Tingyu and said:
"Father, look."

Zhou Tingyu took the two pages and asked while reading: "What is this?"

Then he fell silent, his eyes quickly swept across the paper, and then he turned over the first one to look at the second one.After reading it, he looked up and said:
"Where is Xin'er?"

Zhou Yu was stunned: "Father, how do you know it was written by Brother Xin?"

"Nonsense, I can't recognize Xin'er's handwriting? Hurry up and take me to see Xin'er."

"In my study!"

Luo Xin was reading Xu Jie's article in the study, his eyebrows were beaming, and he could not wait to be overwhelmed.And at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

"boom!"

The door was pushed open vigorously, startling Luo Xin who was indulging in the article, and looking up, it was Zhou Tingyu who rushed in excitedly.

"Crack!" Slapped those two pages on the table in front of Luo Xin, glared at Luo Xin and said, "Xin'er, you wrote all these papers?"

"Yes!"

"Is this true?"

"It's true!" Luo Xin smiled and stood up, while pouring tea for Zhou Tingyu, he said: "Father, don't worry, drink a glass of water first."

At this time, Zhou Zhixian also realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat down, took a sip from his teacup, and looked at Luo Xin.Luo Xin said:
"These rules are useful, but they may not necessarily prevent the occurrence of the plague, they can only reduce the degree of the occurrence of the plague."

"How much will it be?" Zhou Tingyu looked at Luo Xin expectantly.

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "If we can completely follow these rules and regulations, we should have a very high possibility of preventing the plague from happening. After all, it is still winter. Especially the fifth rule, we must let the common people drink and boil it." We can’t monitor this. We can only use publicity to inform that if you don’t drink boiled water, you may be infected with the plague. Also, don’t pick up the clothes on the dead body and wear them. Those clothes must be burned. Boil all the clothes in boiling water. These rules are useful, but it is not easy to fully implement them."

Zhou Tingyu also calmed down at this time, he knew what Luo Xin said was right.House-to-house inspections have to be done, which is a lot of work.But no matter how difficult it is, this thing must be done.After thinking everything through, Zhou Zhixian immediately stood up and said:

"Xin'er, you sit here, I'll go and arrange things first, and then we'll talk in detail when I come back."

"Father!" Luo Xin stood up and said, "Don't say that I wrote these articles, just say that you, the foster father, came up with it."

Zhou Tingyu's expression sank and he said, "Is the adoptive father the kind of person who is greedy for the merits of others?"

"No! Father-in-law, you misunderstood me." Luo Xin hurriedly said, "Xin'er didn't want to be famous before the scientific examination."

"Why?" Zhou Yu looked at Luo Xin puzzled.

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "I don't want Yan Party to notice me too early."

Zhou Tingyu pondered for a while and said, "Are you afraid that the strict party will obstruct your scientific research because of Lu Weng?"

"Yes!"

"Xin'er, you are wrong!" Zhou Tingyu sat down again and said, "It is precisely because your teacher is Lu Weng that you should be more famous. It’s difficult for you. And I think you’re overthinking, Yan’er won’t take that risk in the scientific examination, the scientific examination is forbidden by the Holy Majesty, once the incident happens, no one can protect Yan’s party.”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Father, Xin'er needs fame, but it's not this kind of reputation. If Xin'er only gained fame in terms of learning, the Yan Party may not make it difficult for me in the scientific examination. After all, learning is just knowledge, even if I was admitted as a Jinshi and became an official, but I may not be able to be a good official. It is very simple to use the strict party's plan to manipulate and frame me in the official process. This is much easier than embarrassing me in the scientific examination, and the risk is much smaller. So even if I have a great reputation in learning, as long as I have not entered the officialdom, the strict party will ignore me.

However, if I now show my talents in the way of being an official and have such a reputation, I am afraid that I will attract the attention of the strict party.Once they think that I have the possibility of becoming a capable minister, even if there is even a slight possibility, they will probably take some risks and hinder me in the scientific examination. "

Zhou Tingyu's expression became serious, Luo Xin sighed in his heart, and thought to himself, not only Yan Dang, but also Xu Dang!You can have a reputation in learning, but now is really not the time for a reputation as a capable minister!

"Forget it!" Zhou Tingyu nodded and said, "The adoptive father just pretended to take the credit."

"It's not considered an impostor!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "We are father and son, we are both prosperous and wealtered, and we are all hurt. If the adoptive father can be promoted a step higher, it will be good for Xin'er."

"You! You!" Zhou Zhixian stretched out his finger and pointed at Luo Dao: "Stay here and have dinner together tonight, I have something to tell you. By the way..." Zhou Zhixian turned his gaze to Zhou Yu again: " Go and call Xun'er over."

"Yes!" Luo Xin and Zhou Yu hurriedly responded.

Zhou Tingyu left in a hurry. Zhou Yu sat across from him and looked at Luo Xin without blinking. Luo Xin was so scared, he couldn't help asking:
"what?"

Zhou Yu then gave a thumbs up to Luo Xin: "I convince you, there are so many things in your head."

Luo Xin then smiled, turned the subject around and said, "How is your study going, brother?"

"Don't mention it, it's all caused by these rogues... Forget it, I'll go find Brother Xun first."

"I'll go with you!" Luo Xin also stood up.

The two brothers came to the Zhang family together again.As soon as he entered the Zhang family, he saw that the Zhang family was busy, Luo Xin laughed and said:

"Uncle Zhang, are you going back to the village too?"

"Yes!" Uncle Zhang said, "I have already made an appointment with your family, and we will return to the village together the day after tomorrow. What are you two?"

"Uncle Zhang, let's look for Brother Xun. My father asked Ziyu to have dinner at home at night."

"Okay! Okay!" The magistrate invited his son to dinner, is there any objection?Uncle Zhang immediately said to Zhang Xun:

"Xun'er, I don't need you at home, you can go with Hao De and Xin'er."

"Ok!"

Zhou Yu and Luo Xin bid farewell to Zhang Shu, and the three brothers returned to the county government office, waiting for the county magistrate while communicating.It wasn't until it was completely dark that Zhou Tingyu came back exhausted.
