"Now that it's down, get out of the way quickly and don't block people's path!"
The coachman's voice rose a few degrees, and he returned to his arrogant attitude. After throwing the medicine gourd, he waved his riding whip and asked the sheep to get out of the way.
"Thank you for your help! I dare to ask..."
"Ask me, get out of the way! Talk too much!"
As soon as the coachman gave the order, the two horses in the first car started to move forward at a high speed. Yang Zhen had to quickly pull his injured horse and hide aside, watching the rather impressive convoy rushing forward. At a rough count, there were ten There were only two cars, which was not considered too small in scale. There were cars in the front and back, and the ones in the middle were almost all cargo boxes. The square boxes were tightly wrapped in tung oil cloth, and it was unknown what important things were inside. Things are so well protected.
A familiar symbol flashed before my eyes. Yes, every car covered with a tarpaulin had a pattern of three ink bamboos printed on a black background with white prints - that was exclusive to a branch of Gongsun Hei's family. A family symbol, this Wang Dan has taught him to remember his mistakes.
"By the way, this convoy should have some relationship with Gongsun Hei's family!
Yang Zhen was applying medicine to the horse while thinking about this chance encounter, "Maybe there will be a chance to meet again in the future?... Could this woman with such a gentle voice be a guest of the Gongsun family?"
One person and one horse, after going through many twists and turns, finally arrived at the intended destination: the farthest and largest "private school" in Dongyi area: Rongxiang.
The style of this school is very peculiar: there is no gate and no school building. It is full of farmland, fruit trees, fish ponds, and livestock houses. It is a gathering place of trees close to the mountain. From a distance, there are some caves that are occasionally exposed under the canopy of the trees. Some are crowded.
It wasn't until he got closer that the dense leaves slowly retreated left and right, and the hole opened wide, allowing Yang Zhen to understand:
It turns out that the school is located in this cave.
The so-called unique cave should be talking about here: compared with the huge farmland and fruit trees outside, this place seems too refined and prosperous: it has a regular symmetrical style, with clear priorities. In the front entrance, there is an extremely smooth white stone wall, above which In two words, one black and one red, the school name is written:
"Rongxiang".
The position where these two characters are placed happens to be the place where sunlight can penetrate through a natural hole in the corresponding position and hit the place. Therefore, as the position of the sunlight changes throughout the day, this word appears to be the same in the dark. The bright red and black characters on a white background appear extremely clear and eye-catching, and they change with the change of light. There is a green round pool outside the cave, which just reflects the sunlight. The overlapping of the two makes it even more fascinating. The lighting effect of this school sign is confusing.
The red word "rong" in Chinese official script was recognized by Yang Zhen at a glance; and the black "ghost painting symbol" next to it, which looked like a knife and an axe, was from Beidi. He couldn't read it at all, but according to speculation, it should be That is the Di language writing of "Rongxiang".
Under this tall school sign, there is a half-person-high platform with a screen behind it, which depicts a waterscape of "River Water and Blue Waves". In the middle of the screen, in front of a square of redwood, sits a head-tied student. The middle-aged female gentleman with a blue scarf and a high-crown hairdo holding a fan in her hand was speaking to the students below.
Below, there are rows of schoolchildren with their backs to the outside of the cave. They are all different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they all sit cross-legged. There is no small table in front of them. Each of them has a small bamboo stick in his hand, except for the straw cushion under their buttocks. In addition, the piece of fine sand in front of them is the "paper" for them to practice writing.
These children are of different ages and are arranged in different positions: the older ones are inside, probably taking lessons that they can listen to; while the younger children who are far away and on the outermost side by the hole are naughty on the ground. Stroke it back and forth, or hit it secretly to have fun on your own.
However, no matter how noisy they are, they don’t dare to make too much noise, or at least they don’t dare to skip class. After all, the superior female gentleman can see every move of all the students under the seat at a glance. Naturally, they cannot escape these "little actions". It's just that she doesn't want to discipline her for the moment.
Because he stood high and could see far away, Yang Zhen's arrival was naturally noticed by the female teacher who was "teaching" early. She temporarily stopped teaching and arranged a lesson similar to " For the task of "reciting and reviewing", I stood up by myself, walked off the stage, and greeted him outside.
The children were so obedient. As the female teacher walked out slowly, their little faces turned around like "sunflowers".
"Eh? Bing? Someone is coming!"
The children were whispering and talking to each other, completely ignoring the task the teacher had just assigned.
Although Yang Zhen was in various situations along the way, his official uniform had not expired and could still show his "official" authority. This was why the female teacher did not dare to neglect, interrupted the lecture, and came out to greet him.
"The chief has told me that envoy Qiu Fu will be visiting in the near future. May I ask why the official came to our house before?"
This female gentleman is wearing a clear blue skirt, a white sarong cover, and a leather waistband. Although there is no golden bead decoration on her body, she is heroic, has an extraordinary aura, and looks pure and uncontested. It really makes people feel like Meet an immortal.
It was she who asked softly, holding a fan and saluting.
Yang Zhen only focused on admiring the immortal's graceful appearance, and didn't even say a word for a long time.
Until the female gentleman asked for the second time: "May I ask the official, what is the purpose of this visitor?"
"Ah... Department... I am Qiu Fu's envoy Sheng Dou'er. I was ordered by Qiu Fu to come to this verification point to collect Guixiu Qiu Fu."
Yang Zhen suddenly came back to his senses. He clearly heard the children laughing behind him, and then he stammered out a sentence.
"The little girl is Saha. She has been married to my husband Zule since Beidi. She is the head of the village here. She is from Zheng. I have mentioned this before, and I also know that as a citizen of Zheng, I have contributed to Qiu Fu. , Naturally, there is no shirking the responsibility! However, our village has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the territory is very wide. The newly expanded land covers mountains and forests. The outline is unknown. Bin species are exempted from taxation due to heaven. Bin species are recruited for new expansion. It is unknown whether the official family will use it. It is Bin species. How do you measure this method, why don’t you ask me for advice?”
Faced with a series of questions from the female gentleman, Yang Zhen was not prepared in advance, especially whether the part about the mountains and forests in these questions was included in Ji Zhengqiu Fu. This was a big question: If so, then the ownership of these mountains and forests, It no longer belongs to the state of Zheng, but is counted as the school property of their school; if it is not counted, then the income from their mountain planting and forest planting is purely their own, and the state cannot receive it. There is nothing we can do against them. After all, this place is too far away. Even if it is deserted, it is still deserted. It can be counted in the land area. It is impossible for the country to send people specifically for such a small piece of land so far away. Farming and development.
"Actually, except for me, no one else is willing to come. The official family should be all owned by Guixiang. It is not a bad thing for the country and you and me to plan for the Qiu Fu."
Yang Zhen felt that he had been deceived by this fairy lady in blue, and actually made the decision on his own.
"In this case, where is the chief, I have to trouble the officials to go and seal it together, so that the matter is completed and everything is safe!"
Mrs. Saha quickly took advantage of the situation to salute and asked, with a look of "surprise that can't be concealed" in her eyes.
