Compulsory education in ancient times

Chapter 299

Tao Jianran sat with Qi Bohan for a while, and suddenly saw a group of common people downstairs, surrounded by a young man, walking slowly from the other side of the street.

Young people dressed in the official uniform of the county magistrate are exactly the goal of Tao Yanran's business.

The number of people on the street below instantly increased, and they all crowded around the county magistrate, as if they had something to say.

The scene became chaotic in an instant, and Tao Jianran could no longer hear what the county magistrate and the people were saying.

Qi Bohan signaled the secret guard to go down and investigate with his eyes, and it was at this time that Xiao Er came up with the dishes.

Tao Jianran didn't have much expectations for the dishes in this small place, but thinking of the scene in the previous TV dramas where the protagonist often inquired about the news with Xiaoer, he couldn't help acting out today: "Brother Xiaoer, your county magistrate is so majestic." .”

"Hey, that's right." Xiao Er immediately became proud when he heard Tao Jianran praised his county magistrate, "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, but our county magistrate is a first-class official!"

Xiaoer said, and put up a thumbs up very artificially: "The county magistrate will hold some... symposium in the Yamen every month, let us people give their opinions! He often goes to the town to inspect and do things for us people. There are a lot of facts! There is one more thing that you may not believe, guest officer."

Xiao Er suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously: "Our county is the most severely affected area in the entire state capital due to this flood, but now the life in our county is better than that in the state capital!"

"It's obvious." Tao Yanran asked Xiaoer with great interest, "According to what you said, if your county magistrate becomes the magistrate, would you agree?"

When Xiaoer heard this, he was really entangled: "This is good, and it's not good. If a bad county magistrate is replaced, our people will suffer."

Tao Jianran didn't expect that the little girl would be so sincere, and after chatting with him for a few words, he rewarded him with a little money and asked him to quit.

Soon, the secret guard who went to investigate also came back, and the facts were almost the same as what Xiaoer said.

Tao Jianran was very satisfied, he had just experienced such a terrible incident in Lianzhou, and now that he has discovered a good official, his mood finally began to improve.

Tao Jianran's family stayed in Lianzhou for seven days, and after the secret guards investigated the details of Na Guo County Magistrate and Xu Zhizhou, the two made a decision.

Although Xu Zhizhou did not accept or give bribes, he was not capable enough.And County Magistrate Guo has outstanding abilities, and his style of conduct is also very upright.

Simply switch the positions of the two, so as not to be overqualified, or someone will occupy the latrine and not shit.

Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan ordered the secret guards to be secretly sent back to the capital, and then from the capital to Lianzhou. During this round-trip, Tao Yanran's family has arrived at the hardest-hit area of ​​the flood: Jeju.

Jeju is a city surrounded by water.

The dwellings here are built along the water, and most of the people's daily travel tools are boats, so here is also known as a water town.

Coupled with the beautiful scenery and picturesque beauties, Jeju has always been the first choice for tourists of literati.

It just experienced an unprecedented flood, and most of the buildings in the water town were destroyed.

Although the water level has receded now, new buildings are no longer dared to be built near the water.

The supplies from the imperial court were the first to be sent to Jeju, but for some reason, there are still many people in Jeju who are yellow and thin, poorly clothed, like walking skeletons.

The four children have also met many people living in hardships along the way, but when they came to Jeju, they were still frightened and stunned.Beibei even threw herself into Tao Jianran's arms, not daring to look any further.

The house they temporarily lived in this time was a shack that had just been built, and the conditions were very poor.

As soon as the four children came in, their faces turned pale.

Beibei was embraced by Tao Yanran, seeing this situation, her voice softened a lot with fright: "Dad, do we want to live here?"

"Yeah, this is the best house here." Tao Yanran stroked Beibei's hair, put him down, and said to the four children, "As princes and princesses, you have been the fastest in the country since childhood. Okay. But you have to remember that these good things did not come out of thin air. When you grow up, you have to do a big job and lead the people of Ruichao to a more prosperous life, so that you can be worthy of what you are enjoying now everything, you know?"

"Understood." The four children replied ignorantly.

Qi Bohan also came forward, and said with a solemn expression: "The best houses in Jeju are so poor, it is conceivable that the people here are living in a hot water. There are many children of the same age as you among the people, how dare you despise this place?" The conditions are not good? Look at Xiaohu and the others, and then you."

Xiaohu is the group of little beggars brought back by the children before.

The children turned their heads and found that the little tigers were really happy to make their own beds, so they all lowered their heads in shame.

The four babies encountered their parents taking turns to educate them today, and they were all listless, and they couldn't even get excited about playing Lego.

Bao'er has been taught by Qi Bohan for so long, and now she has a lot of tricks.

Finally, I couldn't help overthrowing the Lego in front of me, and said to my sister and brother: "No, we have to do something to restore Dad's impression of us!"

Belle glanced at him coldly: "What are you doing?"

"The children here are so skinny, they must have no candy to eat, let's give them candy!" Bao'er felt very proud that she had come up with a good idea.

Beibei heard the words, but murmured: "Father said that there was no candy for sale before we went to Ning'an, Beibei didn't want it."

His decision was rejected so directly, if it was the former Bao'er, he must have become angry with Beibei by now.

But today Bao'er is very different. He said to Beibei with a sincere heart, "Beibei, we can buy new candy when we go to Ning'an, but the children here have never eaten candy since they grew up, don't you have the heart to see it?" Are they so pitiful?"

"But..." Beibei turned to look at the baby with a very tangled expression.

The baby rubbed Beibei's hair: "If Beibei wants to eat, I won't give it away. We can just give it away. The three of us add up to a lot of candies."

Hearing what the baby said, Beibei didn't hesitate in an instant: "Beibei wants to give it too, Beibei won't eat it!" He doesn't want to be left behind by his brothers and sisters!

So, the four children went back to rummage through the cabinets, took out all the candies they had treasured, called Xiaohu and the others, and went out.

After Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan learned about it, they just smiled and did not stop them, but sent more shadow guards and dark guards to protect them.

Jeju is no better than other places, I am afraid that the people here will starve to death, and have something that they shouldn't have.

But having said that, Tao Yanran couldn't figure out why the people in Jeju were living in such misery, since the imperial court had already sent a large amount of supplies over.There were donations from wealthy businessmen from all over the place before, so no matter how you think about it, you can't fall to this level.

"The iron ore smuggling case in Lianzhou, the former magistrate of Jeju is also one of the culprits. Now he has been arrested and brought to justice, but the dragons in Jeju have no leader." Qi Bohan frowned slightly. The iron ore smuggling case has had a profound impact. It is the local people who suffer the most.

Tao Jianran did not pay attention to the follow-up of this case, fearing that he would get too angry and hurt himself after reading it.

After learning about the situation, Tao Yanran nodded in understanding: "I'm afraid most of the supplies sent over before will be ignorant. I remember that some children of the Xie family are also county magistrates in this state, and let the secret guards investigate Check his record."

If it is a talent, Tao Yanran intends to use his status as an imperial envoy to promote him as a temporary magistrate, and to lead the people of Jeju to overcome this difficulty first.

Qi Bohan naturally has no objection, but he is concerned about other things: "Jeju is built on water, and there have been many large and small floods throughout the history. It stands to reason that the people should be moved to safer places. But here The soil is fertile, it’s a pity to discard it, so we can only make do with it. Is there any way for the research institute to solve the hidden danger of flooding in Jeju?”

When Tao Jianran heard this, he agreed with Qi Bohan's proposal very much.But after thinking about it, he shook his head again: "I don't know if this situation can be resolved, why not let the people from the Ministry of Industry take a look? Niu Chenghong is very good."

The Lingzhou water conservancy planned by Niu Chenghong back then allowed Ning'an, which is located further south and also on the coast, to be completely unaffected by this flood, which shows that its ability is not bad.

In recent years, Niu Chenghong has been in charge of Ruichao's overall urban layout and planning, and it has been completed very well.In addition, Zhang Wenyou, who has been promoted by Tao Jianran to work in the Ministry of Industry, is very good at designing various functional buildings.

The two complement each other and have made great contributions to Ruichao.

It's just that these two people are not good at communicating in the officialdom, and Tao Jianran also deliberately avoids them getting involved in the struggle in the officialdom, which makes their sense of existence very low.

When Qi Bohan heard Niu Chenghong's name, he also felt that it was feasible, so he passed on a secret decree, asking Niu Chenghong and Zhang Wenyuan to pack up and come to Jeju.

The two adults are planning for Ruichao's future, and the four little babies also come to the junction of Jeju with their beloved candies.

They were four children in luxurious clothes, followed by a group of strong children. Compared with the children in Jeju who were not fed and clothed, they were obviously different.

So this battle immediately attracted the attention of the people of Jeju.

The four babies have long been accustomed to the life of many people's attention, and they don't care about these gazes.But Xiaohu and the others are even more imposing, walking even more vigorously.

Like a small team leader, Bao'er walked at the head of the team, looking around, looking for favorable terrain.

After searching for a long time, Bao'er finally found an open space, ran over and squatted down.

The rest of the people also quickly set up their formations.

The four babies lined up with Bao'er and took out their own candies from the jar.

And Xiaohu and the others were in charge of shouting.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, free candy! Children only, one per person, first come, first served!" Xiaohu and the others grew up in the market, so they came here casually.

On the contrary, Bao'er and the others are not used to it, why do they always feel a little ashamed?
