The advisor nodded repeatedly, though he knew there would be many things to come, he felt a little relieved.
After Zheng Boyuan returned and told Wu Muyue what had happened, Wu Muyue was stunned for a long time. Chen Yuyuan, on the other hand, was so angry that his face turned red. He said to Wu Muyue, "Sir, how can there be such a shameless person?"
Wu Muyue just shook his head and sighed. Xu Bai, recalling what he had witnessed before, said, "This is the serious consequence of the court's lack of education for its officials."
Chen Yuyuan asked, "Abo, what do you mean by lack of education? These people have studied hard for more than ten or even several decades, and have been reciting the words of sages and receiving their teachings since childhood. What need do they have for further education?"
Xu Bai himself was a recent college graduate and a newcomer to the workforce, so he didn't know much. However, he had heard from a classmate who had passed the civil service exam that there was training before starting the job, which was actually ideological training.
Xu Bai frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "The words of the sage are not specifically for teaching people how to be officials. It's like an old scholar who has studied for decades, who passes the imperial examination and becomes a county magistrate. He's just a bookworm who has studied for decades. How would he know how to be a good official who serves the country and the people? There needs to be pre-job training so that they know what they will be facing and how to do it. Knowing how to do it isn't enough. You also need to conduct such training regularly. It's like my mother, Yi Yang, and Sister Bai Mi and the others are learning to be doctors from my mother. How to be a good doctor? My mother often tests them."
Xu Bai's words were somewhat incoherent, but Wu Muyue understood them perfectly. He frowned and pondered for a long time, not even eating dinner. The light in his tent stayed on until the fourth watch of the night. When Xu Bai got up in the morning to urinate in the field, he vaguely heard the sound of hurried hoofbeats.
Zhoujia Village was completely unsealed eight days later.
Chen Zhaoci was so exhausted that he could barely stand. Bai Wei and the others helped him out of the village, and then Zheng Boyuan arranged for him to be carried on a stretcher all the way to Yun'an County to rest.
