Chapter 1759 Why Study

In Zhouhou Mansion of the capital city, Zhulan listened to the operation of the Duke of Yong'an, she was very happy to hear, "Duke of Yong'an really sent people to block the door of Luo's house?"

Su Xuan has been eating melons for the past two days, "not only blocking the door of Luo's house, but also reading the dowry list at the door of the mansion."

Mrs. Li is becoming more and more like a big wife of the family, and her thinking is also from the perspective of the family as a whole, "Is it too much? I have already suspended the official position of Luo's eldest son. Isn't it not good for the Duke's Mansion to not give him any time?"

Su Xuan peeled the melon seeds, "What the Duke of Yong'an wants is this kind of excess, not only peeling the face of the Luo family, but also stepping on the ground so that the Luo family can no longer pick it up."

Zhao sipped her tea and sighed, "The Duke's Mansion hates the Luo family a lot."

This bamboo orchid understands very well, I spent a lot of money, but I didn't see the benefits at all, and everyone would be angry if I changed it. With the emperor's order, it is natural to do it beautifully. It's a life-and-death choice, and the Duke's Mansion will not let go Opportunity to step on the Luo family.

Su Xuan rolled her eyes, "The Luo family can't afford any money and can only sell the land or collect it at home. Although the Luo family has a bad reputation, it is recognized as a family with rich collections."

Mrs. Zhao regained her spirits when she heard that, "Then I will send someone to watch over it. Mingrui has collected all kinds of manuscripts. I think the Luo family must have them."

Mrs. Li poured cold water on it, "I don't know if the Luo family will sell it to us."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Very good, the eldest daughter-in-law is getting more and more focused!

In Yang County, Changzhi didn’t leave after all, but followed the child. On the way to the boy’s house, Changzhi said, “Your father is a scholar, have you learned the Thousand-Character Classic?”

The boy kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word. He remembered what his mother said, and hoped that he would be healthy and not read books for the rest of his life!

Changzhi sighed, it's not that the child doesn't know how to do it, but he doesn't want to say it. I just learned the basic information about the child through a buddy. The boy's father is a well-known genius in the county. Yes, he is a genius. By himself, his talent is indeed high.

However, the genius did not go well, the last one caught a cold and fell ill and missed the exam, the illness was cured and the root cause of the disease was left behind, and he took the hospital examination again and never came back. He passed away after getting sick, leaving behind a newly married wife and a crying and blind mother. Fortunately, the wife is pregnant and is the boy in front of her.

Changzhi asked again, "But have you ever eavesdropped on a lecture in a private school?"

The boy's eyes widened, horrified that he didn't say anything why he was found.

Changzhi smiled,

"You are a thoughtful child."

The boy finally spoke again, "Don't, don't tell my mother."

He pretended to be a beggar and begged. He had already disgraced his mother. He had prayed to everyone who knew him. At present, his mother didn't know about it.

Changzhi, "OK."

Soon we arrived in the poor area of ​​the county town, where families were connected together. The boys' houses had small yards, and the family did not have strong labor to repair the house, which was very dilapidated.

Seeing her son coming back, the woman in the yard frowned, "Why are you so naughty, why are your clothes so dirty?"

The boy lowered his head, "Mom, I won't dare next time."

When the woman noticed the guests, she was panicked and said with her lips pursed: "My son doesn't study, our orphans and widows don't have money to study."

Obviously he regards Changzhi as the teacher who teaches.

Changzhi looked at the boy in surprise again, explaining that he came here because of his husband's love, which proved that the boy's talent is very high, "I'm just a student, not a husband."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. Her husband passed away because of studying, and she relied on her son alone. She knew that his son was talented, but she would rather his son be mediocre all his life.

The gate was wide open, not afraid of gossip, Chang Zhi sat in the courtyard and looked at the embroidered handkerchief, well, this kind of ordinary handkerchief is worthless, and it will hurt your eyes.

Changzhi looked at the embarrassed boy, "I mean no harm."

The boy knew in his heart that he was precocious and could understand good and bad people. He pursed his lips and looked worriedly at his mother in the house. Grandma passed away due to illness and spent all the money left in the family. There was no land in the family, only such a house. Their livelihood depends entirely on their mother's embroidery work. Last time when my mother was ill, the family had no money, so he got it by begging.

The boy lowered his head, "Neighbors say my dad is good at reading, and I saw the books my mother hid."

Changzhi's ears are very good, and the boy's muttering can be heard clearly. The boy wants to study, "Why study?"

The boy pursed his lips, "To fulfill my father's last wish."

Changzhi laughed softly, "The imperial examination selects talents for the country, talents benefit the people and offer good strategies for the country, do you understand?"

The boy's eyes were blank, "Isn't studying for fame? Isn't it for scholars, farmers, businessmen, and taxis?"

There is also money, as long as you become a juren, someone will come to your door to deliver money, so you don't have to live a hard life anymore.

The smile on Chang Zhi's face disappeared, "Yes, many people are just as you expected."

How many champions in the Hanlin Academy did he study for the country and the people? Some are for the family, some are for power and money, and some are for themselves.

In the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the capital, the prince looked through the dossiers of his father after his succession to the throne, and his father had read the dossiers of his grandfather.

The crown prince rubbed his brows. He should really thank Zhou Hou for his reform. In order to improve efficiency and accuracy, the Ministry of Punishment classified and recorded files very clearly.

The prince looked at Zhuo Guyu, "What do you think of the records in the file?"

Zhuo Guyu did his homework, "It's easier to find and save a lot of time."

"It's all the changes brought about by Zhou Hou."

Zhuo Guyu's heart hurt even more, even though he was relieved, he still couldn't help but think back, if his betrothed was the Anhe County Lord, why would he have a difficult official career, "Zhou Hou is a great talent."

The prince smiled, "When will the Luo family give back the dowry money to Zhunxin?"

Zhuo Guyu, "As soon as possible."

The crown prince snorted inwardly, Luo's family was hopeless, and then the crown prince fell silent, and did not continue to look at the files over the years, but instead signaled the Ministry of Punishment to find out the records of the dismissal of the case.

The prince flipped through the records and raised his eyebrows slightly. Some of the records were really vague, but he didn't know if they did it on purpose or didn't pay attention to it. He was more inclined to the former.

The prince stood up, "Go to the household department alone, you continue to read the files here."

Zhuo Guyu, "Yes."

This is the royal family's attitude towards Marquis Zhou, trust, this trust makes people envious and jealous.

In the household department, Zhou Shuren was surprised that the prince would come over, "Isn't the prince reading the files in the Ministry of punishment? Have you finished reading it?"

No, there are many criminal cases every year.

The crown prince took out the record of closing the case from his arms, "Master Hou, take a look."

Zhou Shuren took it and flipped through it, "What does the prince want to ask?"

The prince didn't want to ask anything, "I'm just a little uncomfortable looking at the records of dismissals. How many of them were voluntary dismissals?"

Zhou Shuren didn't continue to read, "So?"

The crown prince would not come looking for him if he had no idea, and obviously hoped that he could give some advice at this time.
