Chapter 1951: Aspiring to Be Promoted
Including all her and her daughters' belongings, more than one million exchange coupons.
She exchanged her husband's land and house for the money and sold it to her husband's family.
How could those land and houses be worth only this much money?
When her husband was sick, others helped to worry about getting medicine, and the money for the medicine was a lot.
In the end, the disease was not cured, but a lot of foreign debts were owed.
Looking at the looks of her parents-in-law and other people in their family, they wished that she and her daughter would die together. Is that still a home?
It happened that His Majesty was visiting Luoyang and allowed others to go there, so she sold the house and land to her parents-in-law who were worried about her at a low price and took her daughter away.
Thinking back, the money for medicine was not that much.
If she had given birth to a boy, maybe it would be different?
Thinking about it, the woman fell asleep with tears in her eyes.
At dawn, there was another charming morning glow. Someone woke up first and asked others to get up.
She changed back into her own clothes and rinsed the linen clothes provided by the post station with water and hung them on the rope outside to dry.
The post station prepared meat soup and pickles, and slices of black bread were placed next to them for people to eat.
The headman muttered, "It's going to cost money again, provide raincoats and hats," and cut extra slices of cooked meat for the children.
The meat was wolf meat, and four wolf skins were soaked in water in a large wooden barrel.
They came over last night, four of them, and the four pairs of eyes were so obvious under the lights hanging from the post station.
The right Jinwu guard who was on night watch saw them, woke up his brothers, and everyone set up their guns.
At a distance of fifty or sixty steps, three of them were hit directly.
The remaining one ran, hesitantly, and looked back from time to time, as if to remember who fired the gun.
The range of the musket bullet is not only fifty or sixty steps, so the slower one was hit by a round.
At dawn, the Jinwu guards went over and followed the blood trail to find two wolves that had run several miles away, and the other two were very close to where they were hit.
The head of the pavilion and the postman helped to clean up the mess. They first cut off a few large pieces of meat and chopped them up to make soup.
The post station would keep three of them and give them the wolf skins. The Right Jinwu Guards didn't want them and asked them to exchange them for money.
The other two were given to the next post station. Five Right Jinwu Guards were responsible for two post stations.
The morning glow was so beautiful. The head of the pavilion didn't know when it would rain. He took out the things in the warehouse.
The people who were eating listened and didn't say anything. They said that they didn't need a hat or a raincoat.
It didn't matter what the head of the pavilion said. It depended on how much he did.
A whole wolf was placed on the table in front of the three students. They stepped back and gave them special treatment.
The three looked at each other and stretched out their hands to tear the meat.
Most of the meat was torn off, loaded on a plate, and taken to the old people and women in the crowd.
"Three of you, what are you doing?" The head of the pavilion asked.
One of the students answered: "We are going to Luoyang to take the imperial examination next spring. The imperial examination is to select talents for the country, and the pillars are the pillars that protect people from wind and rain. If you don't have the ambition to be a pillar, why go to Luoyang?"
"Good! Good ambition! Yuan wishes you all the best." The head of the pavilion clasped his fists.
Some of the people didn't understand, but they could see. They looked at the three students and liked them.
After dinner, everyone put on straw raincoats and hats and set off again.
Five people from the Right Jinwu Guard accompanied them. They would come back after they were sent to the next post station and left the two wolves.
The horses were not ridden, but used to carry things. The two little twins were put in the basket, and they looked out with their heads out.
The three students were reciting the Analects. The newspaper said that the next year's imperial examination, Tiejing and Moyi, were both from the Analects.
This is a free point question. I told you that you will only test the Analects, and you can still get it wrong. You should find another way out.
In addition, the content of ten medical books is tested. Simply diagnose and prescribe, and common pulse conditions can be described.
Mathematics is a little more difficult. Everyone should do more questions. The methods and ideas for solving some types of questions are also available in newspapers.
It is not suitable to recite other things while walking, but the Analects is convenient.
The two maids brought by the woman took the initiative to lean towards the students, listening to the students reciting, and they followed and muttered, listening carefully when they encountered something they had not learned.
After the eldest maid gave up the idea of selling herself, she began to think about making money through the scholarship of the school.
The three students recited and tested each other. When they heard the two maids reciting, they taught the children.
Teach the children one by one, telling the children which word it is and what it means.
Other children in the team did not come, perhaps because they could not save face, or they might not have reached the desperate situation faced by the little girl.
The people on other roads saw the people of the Sixteen Guards one after another. The Yulin Flying Cavalry did not go and guarded the Luoyang Palace.
In fact, there was nothing to guard. The people who should be arrested had been arrested. Others wanted to incite the people of a certain place to make trouble in Henan Prefecture, which was purely a dream.
The people are living well, why would they bother with you? Run out to rob? The chicks at home are about to hatch, and I have no time to deal with you.
If you really let me rebel, it is no longer a matter of a nest of chicks, but the life and death of a family.
One after another, people from Chang'an rushed to Luoyang.
Yu Huaide and his men arrived by train with boxes of exchange coupons, leaving reliable people to take care of the business in Jingzhao Prefecture.
Mining, pig farming, and store management.
They applied to Li Yi to purchase telegraph transmission quotas, and sent telegrams at critical moments. If the matter was serious, they could even apply for telephone lines.
For example, in a county north of Jingzhao Prefecture, dozens of pig farmers' pigs suddenly fell ill. It was no longer a problem for the Pig Alliance itself, and Li Yi promised to take action.
Time flew to the day of the grand court meeting, but Li Yi did not go because he was tired and wasted time on the road.
He has been dealing with a lot of things recently, including match factories, bridge repairs, road repairs, other intensive handicrafts, decentralized handicrafts, and land planning outside the city...
He needs to lead a lot of things, belonging to Henan Prefecture.
The Turks in the north, other tribes coming over, steam engine design adjustment, crop winter breeding, are another lot of things.
The grand court meeting is boring, does he need to show up at the grand court meeting to let others know him?
All the students who have arrived in Luoyang have received "invitation letters". After the grand court meeting, they can attend the student banquet and eat crabs.
The grand court meeting is particularly cumbersome. His Majesty is visiting the Eastern Capital and rebuilding the Tianshu. The ceremony is grand.
Li Longji and the ministers who should be excited and excited seem to be wasting time, going through one process after another.
It turns out that the officials in Luoyang have no happy thoughts. They arrest and clean up people. They are fined after being interrogated.
When other officials make mistakes, why don't you write to the governor of Henan Prefecture? Is this how you manage Henan Prefecture?
So Zhang Shuo was also fined for half a year's salary. Who can smile if there is less money?
It was past the hour of Wei when the grand court meeting finally ended. His Majesty gave a banquet and all the officials ate with tired bodies.
Li Longji went to another place and had a meal with the students.
The students smiled brightly. The price of crabs has been getting more expensive in recent days.
The crabs brought back by the cruiser are not seen by ordinary people.
The people go to catch crabs and sell them to restaurants and hotels.
The restaurants and hotels dare not pretend that the crabs are brought back by the cruiser, but only say that they are local crabs.
The price has more than tripled compared with previous years, and it is said that it will continue to rise.
