Chapter 61: Such an efficient ability to enter our Song Dynasty...
In 1046, Su Jinghe's Northern Song Primary School was also completed.
"They're asking me to go up there and give a speech as a representative of the freshmen at the beginning of the school year? We're the only grade we have. What's the point of giving a speech?"
Princess Fukang didn't quite understand.
"How about we find you students from grades two to six? I think some would be willing to transfer to our school." Su Jinghe is no longer the Su Jinghe who he was when the kindergarten was built.
He used to worry about whether the school could find teachers and whether it could enroll enough students, but now...
"If you take in those who didn't get admitted through the lottery, that should be enough." Zui Xinglai, who was standing nearby, interrupted while eating candy and writing something in a small notebook in his hand.
Yes, Su Jinghe’s new primary school even has a lottery admission system. You can even know on the spot whether you have been admitted or not. There is no shady deal at all.
"The rich have already auctioned off the places in advance, so there's no need for any shady dealings." Princess Fukang always felt that she had room for improvement in making money, simply because Su Jinghe was so bold.
"So much money... Oh, if I had that much money, I wouldn't even study anymore. I'd just open a huge restaurant and hire all the best chefs from around the world."
At the very least, saying this doesn't sound like something a strong heir to the throne would say.
But his two listeners were used to it, and Su Jinghe even habitually added, "Then you must work hard to help your sister gain the support of more ministers and then push her to the top."
"I... I'll try my best..." Zui Xinglai didn't really trust himself in this aspect.
"It should be possible! By the time Daddy abdicates, we will have all grown up for a long time. By then, some of the families will probably be inherited by our current classmates!"
"Do you have a good relationship with your classmates?" Su Jinghe was a little surprised.
He thought that he only had good relationships with people who knew how to eat, could eat, and were willing to provide them with cheap and delicious ingredients.
Zui Xinglai's words also confirmed Su Jinghe's thoughts. "Among the people in our food club, there should be someone who can take over. When the time comes, I'll have them all support my sister!"
"Just support me when the time comes. I don't have many competitors." Princess Fukang knew this fact.
"I will definitely support it! I will bring Zhao Zongshi to support it together!" It was also because of the relationship with the Food Club that Zui Xinglai dared to guarantee Zhao Zongshi's support.
That was Zhao Zongshi! The true successor in history.
Su Jinghe still maintained a certain degree of vigilance towards this simple future agronomist. He even worried that if the world line was so tough that he insisted on having him succeed to the throne, he would cause natural disasters and man-made disasters for this purpose.
Oh, it’s really worrying.
The conversation was drifting further and further away, and Princess Fukang tried to bring the subject back. "But can't our elementary school also build an exact statue? I feel like we're all used to it. It would be a bit uncomfortable if there wasn't one at the gate."
"You really don't want this? I'm not used to it."
Su Jinghe declined politely.
When Zui Xinglai first learned that Su Jinghe had refused, he was shocked. "But, but I've already made up my mind..."
"What?!" Su Jinghe was stunned. "No? No one told me. When was it finished? Can it be made into something else? I think we are all human beings. Changing the name from "I" to "Your Majesty" is reasonable, don't you think?"
Su Jinghe looked at Zui Xinglai.
Under such gazes, Zui Xinglai also felt something was wrong. He spoke in a weak and lacking confidence.
"We made a regular sugar one, which is a little smaller than the original statue at the kindergarten."
"The sugar ones are fine. You can melt them and make them loose. If you want to make a show... that's fine too. I can accept it for a while."
Su Jinghe thought, a short period of embarrassment is not really shameful, time will make everyone forget everything!
"Well... actually..." Zui Xinglai became even more nervous when he saw Su Jinghe's smiling face, "There is another version of the jade statue, which is a little smaller than the candy version..."
"Aren't you afraid of being stolen..." Su Jinghe gritted his teeth and thought, it would be a shame to waste this jade, why not buy it myself.
Zui Xinglai's next words were a real blow. "It won't be stolen, because we plan to place a large stone sculpture under this small jade stone. The jade statue will be placed on top of the head, in the middle of the hat. We designed the hat to be hollowed out, and it will look great with the jade statue."
My heart is broken. There are actually three versions of his image.
"Will Your Majesty agree?"
Su Jinghe made a final cry, but this was obviously wishful thinking.
Because his good Majesty is also thinking about it.
"Why don't we go too? I heard that a student representative from Fukang will be giving a speech at this elementary school's opening ceremony."
"If you go, you will definitely have to give a speech. Are you ready?"
This time, Wang Anshi was by Song Renzong's side.
Wang Anshi's goal of reaching the grassroots level still failed.
Because there are too many people in the court who want to go to the grassroots level, such a good thing is not yet for him, a newcomer.
However, the job of serving the emperor, which was once sought after by everyone, was picked up by Wang Anshi.
This is also a good thing, but due to the existence of Su Jinghe and the additional Xuanjiansi, no one dares to get too close to His Majesty. If he is thoroughly investigated, no one is sure whether they have the identity to withstand the investigation.
Wang Anshi's words made Song Renzong feel a little guilty.
It's nothing else. He didn't attend the graduation ceremony some time ago. Princess Fukang also spoke as a representative. At that time, he just didn't want to speak himself, so he waited for the broadcast - the oral narration of the two children.
"Hey, I really don't want to speak, Wang Qing, how about you speak on my behalf when the time comes?"
Song Renzong's words made Wang Anshi silent for three seconds. In the fourth second, he responded, but not with a promise. Instead, he said, "Your Majesty, I am already busy..."
"Okay, stop talking." Song Renzong stopped Wang Anshi just before he started to announce the dishes.
Song Renzong said that Wang Anshi was prudent in his work, but he was also rather rigid. For example, some things could have been arranged later, but he did them himself.
certainly……
Song Renzong admired him because the more people knew about these things, the more crisis he would face. It was best that Wang Anshi wanted to handle it himself.
These... were exactly the tasks that Song Renzong transferred to Wang Anshi. He was a little unable to stand the current high-intensity work, but Wang Anshi's workaholic nature made up for it.
It's much better than Han Qi! Han Qi wouldn't agree to it, let alone really help him complete it!
Song Renzong quietly chatted with Han Qi.
Song Renzong stopped the topic, and Wang Anshi also mentioned something that Su Jinghe would be concerned about. "Will the elementary school still put up his statue at the gate this time? He seemed angry last time."
"After releasing it, I feel the effect is quite good. Do you think the fortune of our Song Dynasty has improved a lot? Anyway, I'm not really angry, right?"
Song Renzong's reply made Wang Anshi feel helpless.
This has risen to the level of national destiny.
Hey, Jinghe, this is all I can help you with.
Wang Anshi sighed in his heart.
The next moment, Song Renzong's words came again, "You still have to persuade and comfort him. Song Shiyi is still unreliable. It has been so long and he still hasn't succeeded in comforting him."
It's not easy for people either.
Wang Anshi was well aware of Song Shiyi's living conditions. His situation as a secretary next to Su Jinghe was similar to that of an overworked secretary next to Song Renzong.
"We've tried very hard. The main thing is this statue. Anyone would feel a psychological burden. After all, we are still ordinary people. If it were His Majesty's, we wouldn't have any psychological burden."
"I will have it..." Song Renzong added quietly.
If it were somewhere else, Song Renzong would not have done that, but in this place where Su Jinghe could be seen everywhere, Song Renzong was really nervous.
I feel like if I let it go, I’ll be able to hear Su Jinghe complaining about myself eight times in those ten days.
Song Renzong was really worried.
"Actually, he hasn't said much recently. It seems that he hasn't expressed his thoughts as often?" Wang Anshi was just saying this when Su Jinghe started to express his thoughts.
[Oh my god, who is this? An assassin in broad daylight, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.]
Um?
Song Renzong was also shocked when he heard about the assassin.
"What's going on? I..."
Song Renzong was about to go and "rescue him", but fortunately Su Jinghe's thoughts did not stop.
Oh my god? Someone from the Farming Family, looking for Zui Xinglai? Hmm... no? Where did you get this news about the delay? You're looking for the wrong person, aren't you? Oh no... for you, the person you're looking for is quite right... Let me see, tsk, it's from the Liao Kingdom. You're crazy.
"Let's go..." After hearing this, Song Renzong really wanted to rescue Su Jinghe. The people of Liao Kingdom were even walking up to Su Jinghe's face!
"I'll go. Your Majesty, you are their number one target. You'd better protect yourself."
Wang Anshi silently took over this important task that he was not very willing to take on.
"You must protect yourself too~" Song Renzong looked at Wang Anshi's receding back and gave his blessings from afar.
Let’s talk about Su Jinghe’s current situation.
He was a little nervous because he knew that he would still not be able to get rid of the statue when he went to the elementary school, so he left the palace much earlier this time - he really didn't want to meet Zui Xinglai's eyes and mourn the misfortune of having to see his own souvenir in the elementary school.
As a result, as soon as they left the palace, they were blocked by people before they had gone far. There were twelve people in the group, all dressed neatly like farmers. Their clothes were patched up and their skin was tanned so dark that there was no flaw at all visible to the naked eye.
But this opening exposed everything.
"Are you looking for Zui Xinglai? Where did you hear this name?" Su Jinghe looked at everyone with scrutiny.
The leader's acting was pretty good. "Is that a name? Whose name is it? Our master said, find Zui Xinglai in Bianjing. The future of our farming family depends on him!"
Who would believe this...
Su Jinghe thought, anyone who has met or known Zui Xinglai wouldn't say this, right?
As for Xinglai and Su Shi's love of food and their pursuit of delicious food, their biggest connection with agronomy is...
If you want to eat, you need raw materials. Fruits and vegetables need to be planted, meat needs to be raised, and cattle, sheep and pigs also need feed.
Um……
It actually makes sense from this perspective.
Is the desire for better-tasting food driving the push for better produce? That makes sense.
Seeing Su Jinghe looking as if he didn't take them seriously and was daydreaming, this group of people got angry.
"You..." Someone was about to speak from behind, but was stopped by his companion.
The leader tried to communicate with Su Jinghe again, "We heard that you knew about Zui Xinglai."
While Su Jinghe was daydreaming, he also found out the news about this group of people. He said something perfunctory, but his eyes were already reading the gossip.
"Yeah, I've heard of that too."
Then what?
The group was shocked. They were so shocked that they couldn't wait for Su Jinghe's next words, and they were even more surprised.
What’s wrong with you people of the Great Song Dynasty?
What made them even more helpless was that Su Jinghe just stood there and ignored them, but there seemed to be more people coming and going nearby, which made them start to worry. Would Da Song discover something was wrong?
The Song Dynasty had discovered something was wrong a long time ago. When Su Jinghe's voice came out, they knew everything about this group of people.
[So that's how it is...]
[Luckily, it wasn't this group that found the Nong family's hometown. I almost thought they kidnapped their ancestors. I wouldn't be able to explain myself to this group of Nong family.]
That's nothing to worry about.
Wang Anshi heard this on his way there in a hurry, as he had happened to have dealt with such matters before.
His Majesty has already arranged for people to go there. The "old ancestor" of the Nong family is over ninety years old this year and is in very good health. He has a close friend who can tell fortunes. He told him that there is a person with top qualifications in Bian Jing who can save the Nong family. That's why the old ancestor arranged for his disciples and grand disciples to come and find him.
This close friend also has some ability. When he found out that the person had not returned, he did some calculations, and then took the ancestor to wait for the people from Bian Jing to arrive. Now they are being taken care of together.
These farmers still communicate with their ancestors through letters from time to time!
However, this is not the way to go. How did this group of people know that the Nong family was looking for Zhao Zongshi and then replace him with Zui Xinglai?
Wang Anshi was not curious about why the replacement took place. After all... anyone with a little bit of common sense knew that the emperor would pay more attention to his biological son or adopted son.
[It turned out that one of our ancestor's fellow villagers had left his home and traveled all the way to the border. He told them about this incident, and they rushed over without stopping to try to claim the identity.]
[He really has grasped the true meaning of lies. He tells lies in a mixture of truth and lies, making it difficult for people to distinguish the truth from the false.
But forget it, this lie is already past its prime! With this kind of news, it's been so long, who can it fool?
That person can really run...】
It's not necessarily impossible to deceive people...
Wang Anshi put himself in their shoes and thought, if Su Jinghe was not there, and the second wave of people came and said they were looking for Zui Xinglai, maybe they would actually believe it.
After all, this is the emperor's own son! It's only natural that he is favored by others.
Su Jinghe's voice continued, and Wang Anshi was also working hard to catch up.
As long as there is nothing wrong with his thoughts, Su Jinghe's situation should still be under control.
It's not just under control. The people who came here are actually real farmers, some are even from the border. They have received some training, but they are not as good as those who have been trained as spies since childhood.
[Originally, they were from our Great Song Dynasty. Hmm, let me see. Oh, out of the twelve people, only one is a pure native.]
Hmm? Natives? We're native Song people? What about the other eleven? No?
Everyone who heard it was a little confused.
None of the eleven were from the border region. They were exiled there because of family troubles. Since childhood, they've been deprived of a life of luxury. Meanwhile, their families were still talking about what life was like when they were powerful and what life was like now. So, with the Liao Kingdom's instigation, they actually rebelled.
No wonder, he was originally a sinner!
When some people heard this, they were even angrier than when they heard that the natives were deceived into becoming spies of the Liao Kingdom.
"Ah, the Liao Kingdom's trick is incredible. They arranged for our own people from the Great Song Dynasty to come and do this. If they were ever discovered, it wouldn't be their fault. These people all look like Great Song people... Even if they were spineless and claimed to be from the Great Song Dynasty during interrogation, we would still suspect that there was collusion between insiders and the Liao Kingdom. Regardless of the outcome, success or failure, the waters of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be muddied."
This is true.
Many people sincerely agreed with Su Jinghe's words.
"Actually, I now also feel that there is collusion among insiders." Yan Shu said to Fan Zhongyan.
"Let's just forget it. People have said that it's not the case. We are short of manpower recently and nothing bad has happened. We just have to endure these small things for now." Fan Zhongyan said so. They really did not have enough manpower. Even Fan Zhongyan did not want to take on some unnecessary tasks.
"Just saying." Yan Shu himself didn't want to work anymore, and he couldn't take on any extra work.
[Hey, wait, don’t…]
Oh my god, what's going on? Is he going to attack Su Jinghe?
Wang Anshi had not yet arrived in front of Su Jinghe, and he was really anxious when he heard this. Although Su Jinghe was protected by someone, if something happened, he and the people on the road would also be to blame!
Wang Anshi was worried about Su Jinghe and his own life. He was already jogging, but he sped up again, running so fast that his clothes fluttered in the wind.
[Don't beg me on your knees. Even if you do, I won't let you see Zui Xinglai!]
It turns out he was kneeling, that’s okay.
Because he was afraid that an accident would really happen, Wang Anshi did not stop even though he heard the truth. If there really was an accident next time, it would be too late, so he better run.
Su Jinghe didn't expect that his inner voice would force Wang Anshi to jog in the palace, but he was also very anxious now and needed help from people coming and going.
[No, really, please stop kneeling. Kneeling makes it look like I'm bullying you!]
There's no need to show it, it looks like you're really bullying.
Song Shiyi arrived before Wang Anshi.
He should have been following Su Jinghe all the time, but he was just packing up the things Su Jinghe left in their small meeting room - the former teaching place, so he walked a little slowly.
Fortunately, he was only a little bit late, so he arrived before Wang Anshi.
Song Shiyi's bottles and jars in his hand were Su Jinghe's idea to make snacks in this package and store them in ice, which was adopted by Zui Xinglai.
After all, who can't afford ice? As the emperor's only son, he can use it.
"Why are you kneeling for no apparent reason? We can't let you in through the backdoor just because you kneel."
Song Shiyi's words are also very classic. Many people think that kneeling can solve all problems.
These people also know this. Some of them have even knelt down and heard similar words.
but……
They really have no choice.
They didn't know Zui Xinglai, they only knew that he was the emperor's son. Even after being escorted all the way here, they didn't know much more about Zui Xinglai.
The people who sent them only sent them to the city of Bianjing, and because of this, they had time to get to know the city on their own.
This is actually the emperor's son!
He is also the emperor's only son.
Even this news was spread by someone who contacted an old connection - someone saw them in a restaurant and thought that their family had recovered, so he mentioned this during the conversation.
When they found out about this, they wanted to die.
So it took them a little longer to come here. As for why they still came here - the expenses in Bian Jing were too high and they couldn't afford it, so they came here.
Su Jinghe didn't understand the cause and effect of this, but he learned one thing from the system.
[Oh my god, so it was a friend's idea to have them come to me? Hmm... this friend, let me take a look.]
[Fang Wenhao, ha, this name, Wenhao is okay, what's the difference between this and Wangcai? ]
One is a name that a person can give, and the other is a dog's name?
Wang Anshi also arrived. The situation seemed to be relatively clear. In addition, Song Shiyi was right next to them, so he was watching from afar and even had time to complain.
Fang Wenhao saw someone who looked very familiar, and he felt like a childhood friend. Hmm... With such ability, you'll succeed in everything you do. The oldest person here was probably exiled when they were only five or six years old, and you can even recognize him... Hmm? You can even recognize him?
Why repeat it again?
Wang Anshi was a little confused.
The one who didn't understand even more was Song Shiyi. He first listened to Su Jinghe repeat it, and then saw him asking these people.
"Who asked you to look for me?" Su Jinghe looked and found that it was Fang Wenhao. He recognized him the first time, but then misunderstood him and thought that this family was coming back. He went back to ask their family and found that this family should still be at the border, so he came again. In the end, he was deceived and thought that they had some secret mission, so he taught them that if they wanted to contact Zui Xinglai, they had to contact through Su Jinghe.
Judging from his level of "knowledge", even if this person is not an official, he should be a very favored type at home, otherwise he would not know the relationship between Su Jinghe and Zui Xinglai.
The Fang family should be a good one, otherwise there would be no channel for him to know about it.
When Su Jinghe asked this question, the group was a little confused and couldn't react for a moment.
"Who? Who told us? It was a friend of ours." The result of not reacting was that they were like human machines. They answered whatever Su Jinghe asked, in a very methodical manner, more obedient than dogs.
"Who does this friend know?" Su Jinghe scanned these people. The system didn't give a picture, so he didn't know who they were specifically.
Someone in the crowd raised their hand, and the system refreshed the picture in time.
[My goodness, our system is so smart.] Su Jinghe perfunctorily praised the system and compared it with the pictures.
[Exactly the same, I guess I'm not lying.]
What do they mean? Wang Anshi understood the meaning of this.
Could this magical system have other functions?
Song Shiyi could hear both the words and the thoughts in people's hearts, and he was extremely impressed by the system.
How come the system responded even when Su Jinghe asked for a portrait? Is this what a divine tool should do? They're spoiling their children too much!
"You? Your friend? Your friend and you must have parted ways before, right? How old were you?"
If Su Jinghe had asked Wang Anshi the same question, he would definitely have been confused and not answered.
But I don’t know if this person was scared or just didn’t have the brains to do that, so he just replied.
"It was when I was six. Strangely enough, I didn't even recognize him anymore, but he recognized me right away. He said I looked so different from when I was little that he almost didn't recognize me..."
[Oh my god? This ability is so amazing!]
What capabilities, system capabilities?
Wang Anshi now really wanted to get closer to see what was going on. He didn't hold back and straightened his clothes. He had just rested well here, and now after tidying up, he looked neat and tidy again, without any sign of misbehavior.
[We last saw each other at the age of five, so twenty years have passed now, right? Recognizing a childhood playmate instantly, this memory, this ability... is this still human?!]
Su Jinghe's inner voice suddenly rose in volume, frightening Wang Anshi who had just taken a step and causing him to stagger, but he quickly regained his composure.
Um...what?
Wang Anshi understood and his eyes widened.
Is this really something a human can do?
He doesn't believe it.
If such a person really existed and could be brought in as an official, wouldn't that allow them to find a lot of abducted and lost children?
So, it can be done this way?
Wang Anshi was amazed by Su Jinghe's idea. He thought about it and found it really possible.
[Alas, it's a pity that the Song Dynasty doesn't have the internet, otherwise such a highly efficient capability wouldn't have been available to us...]
What is the Internet? We want it too!
Song Renzong was also anxious.
