“You old man, you’re being unreasonable. I was just resting here and looking at some girls, but you’re in such a hurry to come out and make a scene. You’ve scared all the girls away. Fine, I’ll go find somewhere else to look at girls.”
Hu Song stared blankly as the man slowly drove away in his manure cart, wanting to curse but unable to utter a sound. There were plenty of girls in the reserve, given the abundance of brothels and restaurants there! But what kind of girls was a manure collector looking for instead of farming and fertilizing?
Hu Song began to regret accepting the assignment. He wanted to leave Dayuan and return to Fuzhou immediately, but when he thought of the scene when he left, he felt too ashamed to go back home.
Two months ago, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Rites sent a secret envoy to Fuzhou, summoning the education commissioners and instructors of the Fuzhou Prefectural School. The envoy interfered in the enlightenment and education of Fuzhou Prefecture, with only one purpose: to win over the wealthy and powerful officials to the civil service.
The aristocracy recruited talent by offering guidance in their spiritual practice, while the civil officials won them over by offering them official positions. Once students passed the imperial examinations and became apprentices, wouldn't their parents be drawn into the civil official camp? The wealthy officials were truly rich! Even the usually aloof civil officials couldn't sit still.
When the secret envoy asked, "Which gentleman is willing to travel to Dayuan?", Hu Song was the first to jump out, which greatly pleased the envoy, who encouraged Hu Song. Hu Song replied, "Since ancient times, the students of Dayuan have been under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture, and it is my duty to educate them."
Throughout the entire ordeal, Tao Yan, the educational commissioner of Fuzhou, remained silent, his expression indifferent and detached, which made Hu Song feel smug.
For more than three years since Hu Song took office, he has been competing with the local faction in Fuzhou. This year your disciple will become the top scholar in the provincial examination, and next year my disciple will become the provincial graduate. The competition is fierce. Hu Song is a member of the local faction in Fuzhou's academy. This time, Hu Song won the cushy job of building an academy in Dayuan, which made the local faction in Fuzhou very happy.
But now it seems that Tao Yan's faction didn't take the job, probably because they know something inside. Hu Song felt like he had fallen into a trap.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Song sighed and began to write a letter. He then ordered one of his instructors to return to Fuzhou immediately to seek backup.
Meanwhile, at the Goryeo Building, Kim Moo-shin finally met Qiao Shouyi's elder brother, Qiao Shouren. After hearing Qiao Erlang's request, Qiao Shouyi's words made Kim Moo-shin fall into deep thought.
"Since you were recommended by Wu Mingyi, why do you now want to go elsewhere? Have you considered Wu Mingyi's feelings?"
