Chapter 262: You Deserve It
What the Tang family didn't expect was that before they had time to spread the follow-up news, it had already happened in the village.
Overnight, everyone in the village was saying that a student taught by a juren would be almost certain to pass the exam to become a scholar. Not only is he a good teacher, but he also has connections... A student taught by a scholar can only pass the academy examination at best. If he wants to take the exam again, he will have to find another famous teacher.
Who said this?
It was Emperor Guangzong of Tang.
The same people, when faced with a situation like his where they pretend to be nothing but get played, might feel angry, ashamed, upset, resentful, and might say "Don't bully the young and poor."
But his focus is unique.
He felt that the Tang family had the life they were living today because of their support for the Yuan family.
Well, since the Tang family can do it, why can't he? How can he be better than the farmers like the Tang family? So, when he heard that Tang Lizheng was scolded by Yan Shenjue, he immediately put himself in the position of a follower, cheering for him and denouncing Tang Lizheng's insulting behavior.
In addition, he himself was not very talented, and the teacher was only a scholar, so he sighed and said that you don't understand what you have lost. Do you know how rare it is to be a Juren? If it weren't for the Emperor's companion Jingxingbo, how could he have invited a Juren? Just ask around, how could there be a Juren among the teachers in the villages?
There are many students in the rural schools, but it is rare to find a scholar. As a result, such a good opportunity is lost because of the incompetence of the village head. The village head is the sinner of our village! Because he is a scholar, he has too much say. What's more, what he said is not wrong. There are really no scholars in the ten miles and eight villages, and there are few scholars... Everyone believed it 100%.
Those who don't have children can still stay calm, but for those who have children, especially those who have always wanted to send their children to school, it's like losing money.
Yan Shenjue, who received the news, immediately took Tuanzi to the county town.
Tang Qingshan and Lin Niangzi were left behind. Although they were not from the same school, they were both talented actors.
Tang Qingshan said, didn’t Yan Xiaolang say it yesterday? I had been thinking of teaching all the children in the tribe together. Yan Shenjue also wrote a letter on my behalf to ask him, but he hasn’t replied yet, so I didn’t tell the tribe. Yesterday, the head of the village came and said that he could help talk to the villagers about this matter, and I agreed, after all, it didn’t matter... But who knew he would say that kind of thing again. You all know that scholars value this the most. Who can tolerate such a thing? I really have no choice.
This statement is a mixture of truth and falsehood and is extremely credible.
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that the village head was trying to take advantage of the situation! ! But if you want to take advantage, you can do so, but you can't say anything, which will hurt everyone! ! The crowd was in an uproar.
Brother Yuan thinks that Emperor Guangzong of Tang is truly a talented person.
With the idea that it would be a waste if not used, he gave it a slight push.
As the eldest son of the Bo family, his good face was still very valuable. Tang Guangzong was very excited and felt that he must seize this opportunity! ! So without Brother Yuan saying a word, he wrote a petition, asked the villagers to put their fingerprints on it, and sent it to the government in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
You know, it is politically correct for the imperial tutor family to speak up for scholars, and it is also politically correct for scholars to fight for honor. Moreover, this is also good for Emperor Guangzong of Tang. Young people are full of vigor and ambition, and they want to become famous in one battle, right?
The county government accepted the petition and directly issued an official document to dismiss the village head and asked the clan leaders and elders to recommend a new village head.
Tang Lizheng, no, Tang Dacai was almost crazy, he just wanted to gain some fame! As a result, he became an ordinary citizen overnight, and his old face was completely lost.
But what he didn't understand was that this was the situation when ordinary people dealt with those in a higher position.
The person in a high position does not need to do anything, as there will be countless people following him and whipping him. Therefore, even though he knew that the Yuan family was behind the Tang family, he still dared to come to them to plot against them. He was too smart for his own good and deserved to end up like this.
This matter caused a lot of uproar.
Tang Qingshan and Mrs. Lin were not affected at all. They tried to squeeze peanut oil at home according to their daughter's instructions.
The most critical step in extracting peanut oil is baking. Only when the baking temperature is just right can the most peanut oil be extracted. If the baking temperature is too high, very little oil will be extracted and there will be a burnt smell.
The two spent two days and tried several times, using dozens of kilograms of peanuts, before they finally found the right temperature. The most they could squeeze out was 4.5 taels of oil from one kilogram! And the dishes they cooked were very fragrant! Tang Qingshan smiled, this business could be done! This was a perfect match for his requirements! First of all, there was a geographical advantage, the village produced peanuts, and he could bring the villagers to do it together.
It's not that he is so selfless, but firstly, Tang Erge also said that Tang Sanshui's incident has become a big deal, so his image must be high and bright to turn disadvantages into advantages. Secondly, in a place like a village, clansmen stick together, and this kind of relationship can be very useful if used well, which is much easier than starting from scratch outside.
Secondly, this business is a new one, and I can lead Brother Tang from start to finish.
Finally, this business has a promising future, can be done for a long time, and can grow bigger and bigger! !
Madam Lin said to him, "Have you ever seen the stir-fry stoves in the snack shops? Would it be better if we bought one of those?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Tang Qingshan calmed down and said, "From what Xinbao described, it seems that we can use a flat baking tray. Let's go back and buy a small frying pan and then a baking tray, and try them both to see which one is suitable."
Madam Lin nodded: "We need to think about what kind of tool to use to press the oil. How about a big hammer? And you see, the oil is a little turbid after it is pressed, but if you let it sit for a while, the dirt will sink to the bottom. Look how clear it is when you pour it out? It's obviously good stuff."
“Well,” Tang Qingshan said, “Let’s get an oil press, add some gauze, filter it, let the oil settle and then pour it out.
As the two were discussing, someone called him from outside: "Uncle Qingshan! Are you home?"
Tang Qingshan responded and went out. He saw the clan leader's eldest son Tang Youzhong outside, smiling innocently: "Uncle Qingshan, those people are here. I want to discuss with you who to recommend for the new village head. I want you to go too!"
Tang Qingshan said modestly: "For matters like this, the clan leader should make the decision. How can I go?"
Tang Youzhong grabbed him and said, "Uncle Qingshan, just treat it as your nephew's love. If I don't call you over, my father will scold me again!"
The head of the village is not only in charge of the Tang family, but there are fewer people in other clans. Only the Tang family is a big clan. It just so happens that the Tang family made such a big mistake, so the old clan leader must drag him to strengthen his influence, so that people from the other two clans will not think of recommending their own people.
Tang Qingshan followed him.
