Perhaps because there were no large paddy fields, Lin Yuanqiu discovered that Zhuangzi here also had walls.
Also, the mountains here are higher than those in Hengkeng Village, so Lin Yuanqiu found that Zhuangzi here looked smaller than those in Hengkeng Village. However, the pond in the village is running water, and the water source comes from the cracks in the rocks on the mountain, which can be regarded as proper mountain spring water.
Then, Lin Yuanqiu took a closer look at the house. Indeed, as Li Yaqi said, it had only been built a few years ago. The furniture and furnishings in the house were all complete, so there was no need to buy anything else.
As for why Zhuangzi wanted to betray him, whether it was a haunted house or something, Lin Yuanqiu was not worried at all. He had dealt with Li Yaqi several times and knew that this person was not someone who would engage in deception and abduction.
Just this price.
Lin Yuanqiu looked towards Li Yaqi, and when he saw Li Yaqi quickly turned his head to the side and pretended to be looking at the pond, he knew that the price could not be repaid.
Now that I have an official position, if I forcefully make a counter-offer, I will inevitably be suspected of using my power to oppress others.
Oh, forget it, it can't be cheap if it can't be cheap. Who makes me like this Zhuangzi?
By the time the two of them returned to the city, it was already late, and it would definitely be too late to buy and transfer the property today.
Lin Yuanqiu paid a deposit of twenty taels of silver, agreed with Li Yaqi to come back at noon tomorrow, and then rode back.
However, when Lin Yuanqiu arrived at the Hanlin Academy, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Because he saw a carriage parked at the gate, and Lin Yuanqiu naturally knew this carriage, as he rode it the first time he entered the palace.
So, the emperor sent angels here again?
Before Lin Yuanqiu could recover, Guard Han rushed out after hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats. When he saw that it was indeed Lin Xiuzan, he couldn't help but said anxiously, "Hey, Mr. Lin, you are back. Someone from the palace is here." , saying that the Holy One has summoned you to the palace to lecture on scriptures and history, then Eunuch Jiang has been waiting for less than half an hour!"
Lecture on classics and history? Half an hour?
Lin Yuanqiu felt like his eyes were flashing with golden flowers. It's such a hot day. Your Majesty, aren't you going to take a nap?
Also, after waiting for so long, will I be punished?
…
Chapter 168 Good resettlement strategy
It is said that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The same goes for the Hanlin Academy. Even if it is called a place of nobles and nobles, no matter how noble they are, no one is willing to have a lofty career.
Therefore, when they saw that the Holy Father had sent someone to summon Lin Xiuzuan, but Lin Xiuzuan was not there, some people felt overjoyed.
Among these people were Bachelor Yang Shi and Bachelor Hu Shi. The experience of kneeling at the door of the royal study that day was something they would never forget in their lifetime.
Also, when they were kneeling at the door, they could clearly hear the conversation between Lin Xiuzhuan and His Majesty that day.
Then there is the saying that "a clear-minded person cannot catch the fish that is greedy for the bait", and there is also the saying that "the bed with profound saintliness cannot bear it", isn't this just flattering?
Bachelor Yang Shi and Bachelor Hu Shi really didn't understand why a person with clever words and seductive words was praised by the Holy Emperor. And for those who follow the rules like them, not only were they made to kneel for several hours, but they were also fined half a year's salary. This is too unfair.
But no matter how dissatisfied they were, the two of them only dared to complain in their stomachs. After all, the Holy One liked to hear what Lin Xiuzhuan said. That day at the door of the royal study, they both heard the Holy One's hearty laughter.
However, today we want to see how Lin Xiuzuan will end up. After all, the Holy Master has been waiting for such a long time, and he cannot get away with just a few words of flattery.
Compared to Yang and Hu who were gloating about their misfortune, Gu Ping and Zhang Qingyuan were more worried.
Several people also did not expect that the Holy One would directly ask Lin Xiu to write a history of scriptures. Thinking again about the way Lin Yuanqiu was walking in a hurry just now, I couldn't help but feel worried for him.
Lin Yuanqiu naturally didn't know what his colleagues were thinking. After hurriedly canceling his leave with the director, he left the Hanlin Academy and went to the palace with Eunuch Jiang.
As for Fang Zhangyuan, he was stunned for a moment. After that, the worry was relieved.
He said that Lin Xiuzuan was a prudent person. You said that this was imminent, and even he was already anxious. But look at Lin Xiuzuan, he actually wanted to cancel the holiday with him first. By the way, when I canceled my leave at this time, I didn't want Eunuch Jiang to know about it, but I just went out after asking for leave from my boss, so it doesn't count as being absent without leave.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhangyuan couldn't help but sigh, what a terrifying young man.
Fang Zhangyuan felt that if it were him, he would never have thought of this.
Not to mention, Lin Yuanqiu did mean this. The serious thing about today's matter is that when the Holy Spirit called him, he was not in his position, so he had to first avoid being labeled as absent from duty. As for the rest, we can only act according to circumstances.
However, Lin Yuanqiu felt that today the Holy One had called him to lecture on classics and history. After all, this was his duty as a compiler, so he just had to do a good job in this job.
Lin Yuanqiu was right. Emperor Jingkang summoned him to the palace to lecture on classics and history.
The Huaihe River flooded some time ago, and people on both sides of the strait suffered a lot. As a king, how could he not be worried?
It can be said that Emperor Jingkang didn't get much sleep during this period of time.
The purpose of calling people into the palace to lecture on sutras today is also to hear more about the ways of establishing a world from sages and sages, and to gain more insights into their philosophies.
This plan was originally quite good, but nearly half an hour passed and no one came to report. Emperor Jingkang became a little confused and unhappy. When did he have to wait for such a long time for a minister.
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu, who knelt on his knees and saluted three times and shouted long live, was left there without getting up.
Eunuch Jiang quietly whispered into Emperor Jingkang's ear and told him that when he was summoned to the Hanlin Academy, Lin Xiuzhuan took leave and it was no longer worthwhile.
After hearing this, Emperor Jing Kang didn't say much, but picked up the folding book beside him and read it carefully.
As a result, Lin Yuanqiu was kneeled down like this.
To be honest, although Lin Yuanqiu had been in the Hanlin Academy for nearly a year, he really didn't have many opportunities to kneel down. The few times I have been there, besides being here with the Holy One, I have only been here with the Holy One.
So how can it be said that the knee does not hurt?
But Lin Yuanqiu didn't dare to move at all. At this moment, he was under the tiger's nose, so he had to be careful. Fortunately, there was an ice basin in the room, so he didn't feel hot at all.
The fold in Emperor Jingkang's hand was about the resettlement of the refugees after the flood. After seeing the words "pacify the displaced people, and the refugees will be safe" written on it, a lot of the worries he had felt in the past few days disappeared.
When he saw Lin Xiuzhuan kneeling in front of him again, Emperor Jingkang, who was in a relaxed mood, suddenly became interested in teaching, so he wrote a question about the excerpt in his hand, "The floods in the Huaihe River have caused the victims to lose their homes. The imperial court has provided relief. It’s just that there are over 10,000 victims, I wonder if Lin Xiuzhuan has any good resettlement strategies?”
Lin Yuanqiu was still kneeling. Seeing that the Holy One did not ask him to get up, but instead asked a question, he knew that if his answer today did not satisfy the Holy One, then he might be punished for kneeling at the door.
Fortunately, it is not difficult for the Holy Spirit to answer this question. Not only was he familiar with many good methods for post-disaster resettlement in his previous life, but also during his years of studying, he had already figured out many measures to appease the victims.
Lin Yuanqiu originally compiled these to use as materials for writing policy papers, but he never used them. Unexpectedly, they would be put to use today.
Therefore, after sorting out his words, Lin Yuanqiu expressed his thoughts, "Your Majesty, I believe that eradicating the plague is the most important thing at the moment. It is the hottest season in July. They say that after the disaster, There must be a major epidemic, and there are now tens of thousands of victims. If they are not resettled properly, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, I think it is better to find more than ten public and private houses, resettle these victims separately, and then carry out earthquake relief."
Emperor Jingkang did not expect that Lin Yuanqiu could give such a method. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed reasonable. Today's hot weather is the time when a vicious plague is most likely to occur. If it is not handled properly at this time, the consequences will be as Lin Xiuzhan said, unimaginable. And it can be seen from the memorial of the Huai'an magistrate that now all the victims are gathered in temporary disaster relief sheds, and the government is only responsible for daily porridge relief. If the plague really breaks out, it will spread to a large area. .
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Kang's originally relieved mood soon became lifted up again. He raised his hand and signaled Lin Yuanqiu to get up, "Continue!"
Lin Yuanqiu knew that His Majesty wanted him to continue speaking, so he did not delay. After standing up and thanking His Majesty, he continued, "Although there is no epidemic yet, necessary precautions are still indispensable. I think that , the relief manpower in each resettlement must be arranged separately, and the same applies to the victims. They must not wander around each other. And every five days, someone is sent to deliver meat and vegetable rice to appease the people, so as to prevent the refugees from turning into thieves. Then there will be disaster."
Emperor Jing Kang couldn't help but nodded, "Lin Xiuzhuan, continue!"
Lin Yuanqiu was also unambiguous. He had come up with several ways to resettle the victims in the future. "Your Majesty, there are many mountains around Huai'an, and the benefits of the mountains, forests and swamps can help people survive. I think that the victims can be resettled." The land will be resettled for them to reclaim wasteland and recuperate. If any of them are unwilling to stay, they can collect food according to the distance and return to their hometown. In addition, if there are those who are determined to serve the imperial court, they can be recruited as soldiers."
After finishing a long series of words, Lin Yuanqiu's mouth was already a little dry.
But Emperor Jingkang couldn't put down the tea cup he was holding in his hand for a long time because of his surging heart.
At this time, a sentence flashed in his mind, that is, "The people are celebrating their rebirth, why would they be willing to be thieves?"
Yes, if the court arranges things properly, the victims will only celebrate their rebirth, how can they be willing to become thieves?
During these days, Emperor Jingkang was always worried about the refugees causing trouble, fearing that the refugees would turn into bandits and then become rebels against the imperial court. Although some courtiers had given similar methods before, they still sounded inferior to Lin Xiuzhuan's wisdom and ingenuity.
For example, it is better to settle the victims in more than a dozen places and allocate relief personnel, rather than having too many methods from other court officials, because this can not only avoid the outbreak of the plague, but also weaken the number of victims. The best part is recruiting soldiers. Although the times are peaceful and prosperous, the surrounding tribes are always ready to take action. Although there have been no major wars in recent years, small conflicts have never stopped. Therefore, the imperial court recruits soldiers every year.
Emperor Jingkang thought that it would be a good thing if he could recruit soldiers this time.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingkang couldn't help but look at Lin Xiuzhuan, who was standing in the hall. He was wearing a crimson official robe. Because of the tall and thin figure of the person wearing it, he looked particularly tall and handsome. The number one scholar that I personally appointed.
Soon, Emperor Jingkang thought that Lin Xiuzuan was now in a weak position. He didn't know what the cousin Qin had given his student, so he asked, "Did you give him a nickname?"
Table of Contents?
Lin Yuanqiu was stunned at first, but he quickly realized what he was doing and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Teacher Weichen named Weichen Ziqing."
Ziqing?
Emperor Jingkang nodded, saying that Ziqing was smart and eager to learn, and would definitely become a wise man. It's not bad, and it's really appropriate to use it on Lin Xiuzhan.
However, Emperor Jingkang soon remembered that he had been left alone for half an hour.
"I summoned you today, but why hasn't Lin Xiuzhan come yet?"
When you come, you will know that this matter cannot be avoided.
Lin Yuanqiu's heart was pounding, but officials were allowed to take personal leave, as long as the total amount did not exceed two months within three years, so Lin Yuanqiu felt that he had done nothing wrong, and he only needed to explain the matter clearly.
Thinking of the teacher's instructions and Lin Yuanqiu's belief that there was no need to hide it from His Majesty, he told the truth, "Reporting to Your Majesty, during lunch break today, Wei Chen specifically asked for personal leave from the Headmaster and went to the dental shop on Changrong Street."
"Go to Yaxing. What are you going to do at Yaxing in the middle of the day?"
Emperor Jingkang became interested in gossip.
Lin Yuanqiu felt that there was nothing he could not say, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's family has a pair of twin sisters. Now the eldest sister and the younger sister are both pregnant with Liujia and will give birth soon. However, due to the bitter summer, they can't sleep at night and cannot eat well. . So I want to find a cool and quiet place where my sisters can meditate during the confinement period."
Emperor Jing Kang never expected such an answer. On a hot day, I took leave to look for a summer resort for my sisters.
But he, the emperor, was left alone for more than half an hour.
But Emperor Jingkang couldn't get angry at all. The older people get, the more they feel that it's rare to have the same spirit and be friendly to each other, especially the emperor's family.
Moreover, although Lin Xiuzhuan is not very old, his behavior is rare and mature.
The most important thing is to be honest, yes, it is honest. As long as you ask, people will answer honestly without any polish.
Emperor Jingkang still remembered the last time Lin Xiuzhuan said that he often hung around melons when he was a child.
What else could this be if it wasn't just plain gluttony?
Lin Yuanqiu lowered his head slightly, so he did not see the slightly upward corners of Emperor Jing Kang's mouth. At this moment, he was pricking up his ears, ready to answer the next questions from the Holy Father.
Fortunately, a voice like the sound of nature, "Back off!" soon sounded in the imperial study room.
Lin Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he finally passed the test.
"Wei Chen resigns!"
An accident was inevitable, so Lin Yuanqiu did not delay and made a very coherent move to resign. Bow, hug, and then move backwards. After exiting the imperial study, he quickly turned around and walked away.
But when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he looked up and saw that it was empty. The carriage that had just brought him here had long since disappeared, and his horse was still in the Hanlin Academy.
Therefore, he might as well consider going back honestly.
What Lin Yuanqiu didn't know was that after he left, Emperor Jingkang ordered Eunuch Wu who was standing aside, "Go to the warehouse to pick up some pieces of silk and give them to Lin Xiuzan. I can't get his idea in vain."
Eunuch Wu said yes, but when he was about to exit the imperial study room, he heard the Holy Master say again, "Wives are worthy of their husbands, so please send the reward to the Zhong family!"
