Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

On the same day, a carrier pigeon flew out of Huizhou and went straight to the capital.

Gu Wenjun sent a letter to his majesty.

Her handwriting hesitated slightly. Because when she left Beijing before, Gu Wenjun was in a hurry. In addition, she couldn't clarify her thoughts on her majesty. She didn't tell her majesty at all.

Relying on the legitimate reason for going to the joint examination, she patted her ass and walked away willfully.

But now, in the face of major events, the problem of Huizhou is very serious. Gu Wenjun still wants to report one by one.

He ran away and babbled to find his majesty. She inevitably felt a little humiliated.

But compared with Huizhou, the embarrassment was insignificant, so Gu Wenjun still stubbornly wrote a letter to beg for mercy.

such as

"Please forgive me, your majesty. A few days ago, I suddenly learned that Gu Jiasheng had changed and wanted to take a concubine and raise her in Huizhou. So I left the capital in a hurry. Your majesty manages everything every day and doesn't dare to bother with this little thing, so I didn't mention it..."

Such words must be written in.

Instead of waiting for his majesty to get angry, Gu Wenjun might as well admit it and bow his head early.

After finishing his private affairs, the most important thing is the business - the problem of Huizhou. Gu Wenjun described it in detail. He not only wrote in all his experiences on his day in Huizhou, but also specially asked ah Wu to inquire about information, collect intelligence and supplement information.

To be a good counselor, it is not enough to state problems and dilemmas.

Gu Wenjun should also propose solutions and put several backup plans for his future "boss" - the emperor to choose the best solution.

Maybe it's too far from Beijing. Whether your majesty is angry or angry, it can't affect Huizhou. Gu Wenjun can then reluctantly press his mind and be a dedicated and useful subordinate.

She put aside her personal relationship for the time being and first thought about how to solve the trouble of Huizhou for her majesty. Gu Wenjun really lives in the slum.

This boundary is still in Huizhou. In fact, it's not too bad. The weather is fine, neither hot nor cold, and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for building houses.

The house is a little shabby, but it can still live with bed blankets.

The reason why it is dirty, messy and smelly is that the people here can't see hope and naturally deal with life at will, which is chaotic and dark.

Together with ah Wu and other scholars, she cleaned up several dilapidated houses, cleaned the accumulated dust, opened windows for ventilation and dried bedding. It was also bright.

Cai Jin knew the people here, and Gu Wenjun took out a tray from his pocket to pay for it, so no one stopped them in the slum.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, solved the residence, and the rest is food.

at night.

Gu Wenjun and the scholars set up a pot, bought a big bag of rice, boiled it, and boiled rice porridge.

She is proficient in pharmacology and a bit of cooking.

So I spread some lard at the bottom of the porridge, put green vegetables and minced meat, and lavishly sprinkled some salt. Without opening the lid of the pot, the rice porridge full of the pot has given off a tempting aroma, which can be smelled in more than a dozen miles.

Around the cauldron, the poor people in rags are already crowded. They eagerly look at the steaming cauldron and drool in their mouths.

A girl who was so thin that only bones remained bit her fingers and whispered, "Dad, I'm hungry..."

"Endure, this is childe Gu's, not ours." the man holding her is a broken arm, with wrinkles on his face.

Unable to pay the taxes in the city, he was driven to the slums. In order to make a living, I had to do more hard work. I lost one arm, which made it worse and more bumpy.

He took out a dried flat steamed bun and broke it carefully. Feed it to her daughter's mouth bit by bit and she can't bear to eat it.

Other poor people even chew with grass roots and bark.

Smell the smell in the pot and have a "meal".

Gu Wenjun looked slightly cold in his heart. He only felt that what he saw in Huizhou City during the day could be called heaven, but when he came to the slum at night, it was like abyss hell. This huge contrast made people sweat and cold.

At that moment, Cai Jin couldn't help it: "childe Gu, why don't we tell them that this porridge was originally distributed to them."

He is not the only one who thinks so. The remaining scholars are all kind and righteous, and they can't bear it.

Gu Wenjun shook his head.

"Sheng mien fights rice revenge. It's better to give people fish than to give them fish. How much and how long can we give them porridge?"

If there were not so many elegant and elegant scholars around Gu Wenjun, they would look very frightening. Maybe these poor people will rush to rob before the porridge opens. Gu Wenjun decided to stay after considering and anticipating countless consequences.

So she was ready to deal with it.

Help is to help, but we must figure out how to help.

Charity can only be an emergency, can not solve the real problem.

She thought for a long time and made a decision. She said, "when the porridge is boiled, you tell them you can buy it. One person can only buy one bowl. Our porridge is not free!"

"Buy?" Cai Jin stared. "How can these people have money to buy?"

"If you have no money, come to work here and deduct it from your salary!"

Cai Jin was confused. "What work do you do? Do you have work for them?"

Other scholars also looked at each other and hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Gu, after all, we are from other places to Huizhou for the exam. People here are not born or familiar. Even if you want to help, don't throw all the extra money in."

They thought Gu Wenjun was looking for an excuse to give money.

The situation of Huizhou slums.

People are constantly driven out of the city. Once they fall into the cave, they can't get decent work. They can only live as Dalits without any trouble. Just a rough sweep, it is estimated that it is no less than the population of the city.

So this is equivalent to a bottomless hole.

Even if there are Jinshan and Yinshan at home, you can't fill this big hole.

Cai Jin's dark face brightened up, and he began to advise: "childe Gu, you have a bright future. Don't be silly. You really give all your money. Otherwise... After you pass the exam and become a senior official, we'll find a way to save Huizhou."

He had a hot head and thought that Gu Wenjun would be able to help, so he knelt down and begged.

Can really see Gu Wenjun doing practical things, Cai Jin moved, but also felt inappropriate.

He was afraid of delaying Gu Wenjun's future.

Gu Wenjun shook his head, "it's late!"

"Cai Jin, there's no room for maneuver when you say this. Either don't care, or take care of it to the end!" Gu Wenjun raised his eyes, which were as windy as ink painting. His flowing eyes were covered with light and exciting.

"You know, we know, and so do those scholars who left. I'm sure someone will report Lord Zhou."

She opened and closed her lips: "if you choose to stay, you stand in a position against Lord Zhou."

“！”

Everyone looked awe inspiring.

Cai Jin was shocked. He looked at Gu Wenjun with guilt and pain, but then his face was solemn and serious. Since Gu Wenjun expected and made this decision, Cai Jin will naturally follow her.

The scholars were silent, but no one asked to leave.

In the silence, Gu Wenjun said, "porridge is ready. Give them porridge."

Ah Wu and Cai Jin led them out first. According to Gu Wenjun's words, they told the poor people in the circle: "if you want to drink porridge, you can buy a bowl! Work for money!"

Suddenly, the crowd crowded up.

After hanging their appetite for so long, no matter what they are asked to do at this time, they are willing to work hard as long as they can drink that bowl of green vegetables and meat porridge.

The scholars are responsible for cooking.

The stiff Cai Jin and a Wu maintain order. This porridge is really delicious. It tastes better than what is made in the kitchen outside.

No wonder these people lined up hard. Even the scholars were greedy. Think about it carefully. It's the fire opened by Gu Wenjun and Gu Caizi. It's worth a lot.

The aroma of rice porridge made the thin girl drag her disabled father to squeeze in.

"I, I can work!"

She also wants a bowl of porridge.

Gu Wenjun ordered equal treatment. Even the elderly and children must contribute.

When the man came to the front and took the porridge, he hesitated: "can you ask me what to do?" he was not afraid of being trapped. Anyway, he would be like this all his life.

But he still cares about his daughter for fear that she will also be harmed.

Gu Wenjun picked his eyebrow: "don't worry, it's not an outrageous thing. You can come to help tomorrow. You'll know at that time."

He hesitated to take the porridge. Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation. Confused, he took two bowls and shared it with his daughter. A bowl full of rice and minced meat.

After drinking a mouthful of oil, my stomach began to warm up.

Even a man can have enough to eat in a bowl.

The girl was half full, but she carefully held the rest and wanted to take it back to her mother.

Her thin face smiled for the first time: "Mr. Gu is really a good man!"

"Dad, we must work hard. Childe Gu is so good. I really want to work for childe Gu all my life."

Not just children, but almost everyone in the slums. If you can eat such a good thing, you can earn whatever you do!

After everyone received the porridge, Gu Wenjun had dinner with the scholars.

Their rice is also porridge, but the pot is hot and not cold. It's still delicious.

Maybe Gu Caizi's craftsmanship is so good that people don't feel hard when they eat and drink, but they have the taste of farmhouse fun. Even in the face of Lord Zhou's anger, he was not so afraid.

Cai Jin asked, "childe Gu, what should I do next?"

Gu Wenjun said, "early tomorrow morning, you will help me publicize. I, Gu Wenjun, will be here to hold a talk. I will talk and discuss the official system reform with my classmates. Let those people who have eaten porridge help build tables and chairs and decorate this place for us."

Everyone exclaimed, "what?!"

Isn't this the exam question?

On the eve of the joint examination, Gu Wenjun wanted to discuss the examination questions openly in Huizhou. Didn't he teach his ideas and answers and tell others!

"Mr. Gu, think clearly! You are likely to win the first place in this meeting. How can you discuss the topic with other candidates?"

"Yes, everyone thought that I proposed to reform the system in advance and complied with your Majesty's change of the examination. It must be a win." Gu Wenjun smiled lightly: "in that case, I proposed to hold a meeting and lecture. Do you want to listen?"

The scholars' eyes suddenly became hot, including Cai Jin.

"Yes!"

If you can answer more questions in the meeting test, even if it is a place forward, it is also good.

"If you want to listen, all candidates will want to listen. If they want me to listen and answer questions, they must come to the slums of Huizhou!"

This can not only consolidate knowledge, but also promote momentum. It is the best way for Gu Wenjun to give full play to his appeal!

She said loudly, "I want to poke the big lie of Huizhou."

There was silence, and everyone's eyes were full of moving faces and worship. They had obeyed Gu Wenjun's words and completely followed him.

Qi Qi responded with a voice: "OK!"

In the dark night.

A masked woman came to the slum to look for Gu Wenjun. Carefully, she picked up the willow that survived a life.

At the same time, two more scholars went to the residence of Lord Zhou, the governor of Huizhou, looking sneaky.

It is clear that he was with Gu Wenjun before.

They're going to snitch!
