Chapter 146: Good Wind Sends Me to Qingyun by Power
These bastards have heard since they were in the academy that His Majesty used forty pounds of millet to buy hundreds of children a long time ago. Now that these hundreds of children have basically become the mainstay of Lantian, they are no longer so insistent on their status as bastards.
The phrase "You are worth forty pounds of millet" is not an insult or curse at all in Yushan Academy.
Even gentlemen often use the allusion of forty pounds of millet in class to inspire these bastards who have been looked down upon since birth.
Tell them that being a bastard is just a big joke. Whether a person is valuable or not has almost nothing to do with his bloodline and origin.
Anyone bought with forty pounds of millet can become a high-ranking official in the country and rule the world. For those of you who have lived in wealthy families since childhood, isn’t it natural that you will do something great in the future?
The young masters from rich families are never stupid.
They can tell what is a lie and what is the truth.
When these inspirational words are backed by a mountain of real facts, they will naturally think seriously about their future.
Sun Yuanda, Yang Wenhua, and Feng Tong, representatives of Yangzhou merchants, are also quite knowledgeable people.
It is easy for them to find that their obedient bastard has changed a lot.
The most obvious thing is that the temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At least I have the courage to look into his eyes when talking to him.
In the past, in order to fight for the right to eat at the main table, this bastard tried his best to call Sun Yuanda's wife from aunt to mother without dignity.
But the mother who gave birth to him and raised him is called aunt.
It’s different now. This guy has no interest in eating at the main table. Even if he hides in the kitchen with his mother and concubine to eat, the mother and son chat and laugh happily, and the atmosphere is even better than that at the main table. Those who eat are even better.
Sun Yuanda naturally knew that unless his son had higher pursuits, this would not be the case.
Seeing his concubine Sun Ting put a piece of chicken in the girl's bowl, eating some vegetables himself, and telling his mother about the experience of Yushan Academy, Sun Yuanda sighed and felt that it was not good to go in, so he Turned and left.
"Brother, do you think women can also study in Yushan Academy?"
Sun Ting smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. There are many women studying in Yushan Academy. As long as they can study in Twelve If you are admitted to the Lower House of Yushan Academy before the age of 10, you can enter Yushan Academy to study.
But the days to come will be very difficult. You will take a small test every half year and a big test every year. You will not only have to study literature, but also practice martial arts. , some strong women can even compete with men in the year-end competition.
After studying in the Lower House for five years, they must pass the exam to enter the Upper House to continue their studies. There are also students who have not passed the Upper House. twoIf you have the opportunity to make up the exam every year, if you still can't be promoted to the upper house, it proves that you are not a student.
You can enter workshops, crafts, shops, and caravans to learn other crafts as early as possible. In short, you will have a good future. "
Sun Ting's sister looked at her brother and said, "I want to go." "
Sun Ting's mother quickly said: "Your father doesn't allow you to show up in public.
Sun Ting waved his hand and said: "You can go if you want. Xiao'e is very talented and is better than me in reading. However, the exams at Yushan Academy not only test the Four Books and Five Classics, but also arithmetic, astronomy, geography, According to history books, these things are Xiao'e's weaknesses.
Mom, with the money my family gives me, I can hire a female classmate from Yushan Academy who is a work-study student to teach Xiao'e these things. "
Sun Ting's mother said with some embarrassment: "Your father, and the aunt..."
Sun Ting lowered his head and whispered: "As long as Xiao'e enters Yushan Academy, He will immediately rush to study in the Lower House of Ningxia Yushan Academy. Neither his father nor his aunt will interfere with Xiao'e's future.
If, if you can get into the Upper House of Yushan Academy, even your father will need to be respectful to Xiao'e when he meets her.
So, this is how it is done, and the female gentleman’s affairs are left to me. "
Sun Ting's mother looked at her son and sighed: "My mother wants to save more wealth for you, so that you can rely on the money to get ahead in the future. Your sister is a woman after all. "
Sun Ting said nothing, and put another chopstick into the girl's rice bowl. He poured the vegetable soup into the rice, devoured it, and went straight to the study to do his business. There was a lot of time, and there was no extra time to tell her mother something she didn't understand.
When Sun Yuanda entered the concubine's small study, Sun Ting was sorting out a stack of account books with sweat on his back, abacus in one hand, and records in the other. She was helping him calculate the figures very quickly.
Seeing his daughter put down the account book, Sun Yuanda coughed and walked into the study.
Seeing his father come in, Sun Ting. He and his sister greeted their father together, and the two brothers stood together to listen to their father's instructions.
Sun Yuanda looked through the account book prepared by Sun Ting, and after reading a few articles, he said: "So, the county. The general recruits craftsmen, and the civilian husband's errands are entrusted to you? "
Sun Ting bowed and said: "Meng County Zun took a fancy to him and handed over the recruitment, money and food matters, and supervision of construction to the child. "
Sun Yuanda rolled his eyes and looked at Sun Ting and said: "Can you come here alone?
Sun Ting's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "The county magistrate said it well. If young people want to achieve great things, they should not take themselves too seriously. They can only suffer hardships that others cannot endure." , Only by being tired that others can't stand can you achieve something. "
Sun Yuanda coughed and said: "Tomorrow you go to the county magistrate to quit your job and let your elder brother go. You go to Yangzhou, and I will leave the six shops to you to take care of. ”
Sun Ting looked into his father’s eyes and said:"Father, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is not a good thing for my eldest brother to go, but it is a way to die."
Sun Yuanda was not surprised by Sun Ting's reply, and said coldly: "You think you are better than you?" How are you doing, brother?"
Sun Ting whispered: "My child has only been under the command of the county magistrate for two months. During these two months, my child has learned nothing else. The first thing he has learned is to know the laws of the Lantian Imperial Court. Sensitive.
Especially when it comes to such a fundamental matter as the railway, there is basically no possibility of forgiveness if he makes a mistake. During the Zhu Ming period, his father could do anything with money.
p>In the Lantian Imperial Court, I can definitely say that there is no such possibility.
My eldest brother is a romantic poet, has a rough temper, is generous with money, and likes to make friends, which are all taboos.
Sun Yuanda looked at his bastard and sighed again: "My father did not expect this outcome. If I had known this, I would have sent your eldest brother to serve under the county commander.
Son, you are also a descendant of the Sun family. You should understand that we will all suffer when we lose, and we will prosper when we gain.
The reason why the Lantian Imperial Court allowed their father to do this evil thing was their consideration. < /p>
They are purposefully splitting up our family and spreading our strength. Have you ever thought about this?”
Sun Ting nodded and said, “The county magistrate has made it very clear. Yes, this is the reason why he treated his father harshly in the early stage. His purpose was to divide the Sun family and dismantle the behemoth Sun family."
Sun Yuanda nodded and said: "It seems that Lantian still has some rules in doing things. , I would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite. They are setting up a battle to deal with us, and we must not let them do what they want."
Sun Ting shook his head and said: "Father, do we really have the strength to fight against the imperial court. ? They did not use force to promote this matter in Yangzhou, which is an act of extrajudgment.
Now, the Lantian County Lord has a lot of grievances against us Yangzhou merchants. ? >The current Lantian County Lord is the eldest disciple and the only disciple of His Majesty the Emperor. If the child is not mistaken, he will become the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.
The power is far greater than his father expected.
If we continue to be enemies of the Lantian Imperial Court, we may be in trouble. Please think twice, father."
Sun Yuanda closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then left without saying anything. The small study room.
Watching his father leave, Sun Ting let out a sigh of relief, then handed a new account book to his sister and said: "Keep reading, we must sort out all these account books tonight."< /p>
Xiao'e said worriedly: "Father's face is ugly."
Sun Ting chuckled and said: "It's okay, dad will figure it out. Okay, I'm ready Okay, you can read now."
After a while, Xiao'e's clear voice sounded in the study, mixed with the crackling of abacus beads, which seemed extremely lively.
Sun Yuanda returned to the inner house, and his first wife Liu asked: "Did Brother Ting ever answeranswer? "
Sun Yuanda shook his head and said: "It is of no use whether he agrees or not. It is the Lantian County Lord who wants to split up our family. ”
Ms. Liu quickly said: “Are you just going to watch Brother Ting, a commoner son, take away 30% of my Sun family’s money and food?” "
Sun Yuanda glanced at Mr. Liu lightly and said, "Don't forget, Brother Ting is also my son. "
"Then, what should Brother Yao do? "
Sun Yuanda looked at his first wife and said, "Isn't 70% of the family fortune enough for him? "
"I am worried that 30% of the family fortune will not be enough to fill Brother Ting's belly. "
Sun Yuanda shook his head and said: "The handle of the knife is in someone else's hand, and it is not up to anyone to decide whether it is good or bad. From this month on, Liang's status will be equal to yours, and the maids and servants who should be allocated will be matched. , Ting Geer's status is the same as that of Yao Geer, with two long followers and a book boy, he moved to Xikuoyuan.
The status of E girl and Feng girl is average, two maids, one mother-in-law is indispensable. "
Ms. Liu was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Master, do you want to pamper your concubine and destroy your wife?
Sun Yuanda glanced at Mr. Liu and said, "Ms. Liang is one year older than you. Why don't you get laughed at when you say you spoil your concubine?" You stupid woman, why can't you see the situation clearly?
Over the years, you have also been a virtuous person and have never treated Ting Geer or Eya girl harshly. As for Mrs. Liang, she is a concubine herself and has suffered some hardships, which is the way she should behave. This is you current capital.
If you send these here now, Brother Ting might even be grateful to you.
The delivery was late, and I was worried that people would not appreciate it. "
Mr. Liu burst into tears after hearing this.
Sun Yuanda looked at the gloomy sky and whispered: "The world has changed, and it has become more ruthless than that time. It has become more ruthless than that time. Everything is done. I just hope that I can survive this disaster and let my Sun family continue to have descendants without extinction. ”
