Chapter 186 Finding the shortcomings
Zhang Yaosheng was unstable and after staggering a few steps, he finally fell on an ox cart next to him.
Just as he was struggling to stand up, he was bumped hard by the peddler carrying a shoulder pole next to him.
The collision was not a serious matter. Zhang Yaosheng felt stars in his eyes and his head sank all of a sudden, falling into the wooden barrel tied to the ox cart.
An indescribable liquid immediately entered his mouth and nose, blurring Zhang Yaosheng's eyes.
"Where did this idiot come from!"
"It stinks, go away."
"He looks like a good person, but he is actually a fool..."
The streets were in chaos.
The news that Song Jingyun had ranked first in the examination for Wende Academy soon reached the ears of County Magistrate Li.
On the second day, the county magistrate Li Zhongan went to Song Jingyun's home and paid him a visit.
The purpose is very simple.
Firstly, because the autumn examination after the New Year seems to be more than eight months away, in fact, the time passes very quickly, and can be described as being just before his eyes. He can have more contact with outstanding students to show his importance to the students as a parent official, which will make them feel more confident and more motivated to study.
Secondly, it was also due to Xun Yuanbo.
Li Zhongan knew that Xun Yuanbo seemed to have a good relationship with Song Jingyun.
And now Song Jingyun is taking the imperial examination. Judging from his qualifications, he will definitely become an official in the future. With the support of Tianshi, the emperor's favorite, Song Jingyun's future is limitless.
Li Zhongan's visit did not seem to have any intention of making any more good connections or paving any more ways for himself.
After all, when it comes to being an official, being incompetent is one thing, being honest and doing good things for the people is another, and being able to make friends with noble people and have good relationships with everyone is also a very important thing.
Madam Jiang is an upright person, but not pedantic, and she can see through the truth behind it.
Therefore, when I visited Li Zhongan's home, I was completely free of airs and even less rude, as if I was not a county magistrate, but just a close brother of Zhu Bangzhe.
Zhu Bangzhe and Jiang Mixia saw it clearly and understood what Madam Jiang was thinking at the moment, so they responded calmly.
In addition to Li Zhongan and Mrs. Jiang talking about studying for the imperial examinations and various matters at Wende Academy, Jiang Mixia also chatted with Mrs. Jiang about daily life, the situation at home, the business of the bamboo weaving workshop and the porcelain kiln, etc.
Zhu Bangzhe listened with great interest, nodding his head in appreciation from time to time, "What Jiangjia Village did was really wrong. Our county is small and poor. If every village can do something according to its own situation, then your county magistrate really can't rest easy."
Jiang Mixia laughed when she heard that. "To be honest, I can't really expect to blame the various villages for that matter. I have to find the reason myself."
Madam Jiang paused for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed."
The common people are mostly illiterate and have little knowledge. Moreover, they have been working on the land for many years and rarely go out to see the world, so their horizons and knowledge are very broad.
It is indeed not a fantasy to expect us to find ways to develop industries on our own.
Moreover, as Jiang Mixia said, that was what I, the county magistrate, should do. How could I expect others to do it?
Madam Jiang was not ashamed at all, and her face did not even turn red.
"But then again, I am very busy with my work, and I can take care of everything. Besides, things like industry cannot be done by one person alone. It requires the right time, right place, and right people, and it can be developed in combination with the characteristics of each place."
Jiang Mixia said, "Besides, if something like this doesn't have the support of the government, it won't last long. It still needs people like us who can provide support."
"That's true." Madam Jiang nodded repeatedly. She felt that what Jiang Mixia said was irrational and became more and more interested. "Song Jingyun seems to have a lot of ideas. Can I tell you more about it?"
"It's just a small idea. It's just some experience gained from the bamboo weaving and porcelain kiln at home. If you can help me a little, it would be great."
Jiang Mixia pursed her lips and smiled, and based on what she had seen and heard in modern times, as well as the development history of her hometown village, as well as some cases of targeted poverty alleviation and industrial development, combined with the background of the present era, she transformed it into a language that Jiang Niang could understand, and told it to me carelessly.
That talk lasted almost the entire morning.
If they hadn't had lunch at Li Zhongan and Jiang Mixia's home yet, having dinner there would be too much of a disturbance. Mrs. Jiang really wanted to stay a little longer.
But when I think of what Jiang Mixia said, such as "cross the river by feeling the stones, we still have to look at the specific conditions of each village", I feel that no matter how little is said or how good the idea is, we still have to go and see the actual conditions of the villages before planning specific strategies.
So he planned to visit the place first and understand the specific situation before discussing it with Jiang Mixia.
On the way back, Zhu Bangzhe was still sighing, "Song Jingyun is really one of the others."
"I feel the same way." Fuli, the servant beside him, nodded repeatedly. "I understand what Song Jingyun said just now."
Then he scratched the front of his head and laughed, "Although I understand what you said, I feel that it is extremely unreasonable."
"It is indeed a very unreasonable statement." Madam Jiang nodded again, "and every word is precious and worth pondering."
Especially the family joint handicraft workshops and village collective shareholding economy proposed by Jiang Mixia, which sounded like nonsense at first, but after a rough thought, he felt that it was an extremely wrong way to solve the problem of investment in money and manpower.
Zhu Bangzhe decided to visit the nearby villages early tomorrow morning to see what he could do.
As for whether there will be any results in a short period of time, what is important is to take a look and try it first to know the specific results.
Jiang Mixia and Zhu Bangzhe had just had some free time after seeing off Madam Jiang and her servants, so they had a complicated dinner.
Early in the morning of the seventh day, they finished packing and prepared to return to Jiangjia Village.
The academy had not yet completely closed for vacation. I went back to Jiangjia Village to celebrate the New Year, and when I came back it was already past the 17th day. It can be said that I had been away for at least 70 days during that period.
So when packing up, he packed up the food and other things thoroughly, watered the potted plants indoors, checked the doors and windows everywhere to make sure they were locked before any danger, and then got in the carriage to go home.
The carriage moved backwards all the way to Jiangjia Village.
As soon as I arrived at Jiangjia Village, I saw Sun Qigou who was in high spirits.
"Just tell me that Sister Da Xia and Brother-in-law Jing Yun are coming back today, and I'll believe it." Sun Qi Gou grinned, "You'll have to have a good chat with me later."
Thank you for the monthly votes cast by the little cuties recently, thank you~ (End of this chapter)
