Chapter 401 A Blessing in Disguise
"Is this important to you?" Fuwang asked puzzled.
"You're not the Inspector General of Lingnan Province, nor a Governor-General, nor a Governor of a Prefecture, nor a County Magistrate. Why are you worried about this? Shouldn't they be the ones worrying about this?"
"Huh?" Su Ying was speechless.
It is not your responsibility to meddle in matters that are not your responsibility. I am just an inspecting censor, so what should I be concerned about?
"You are the one who understands! I am the one who is obsessed!" Su Ying slapped her forehead.
In ancient times, it was not easy for poor people to study, let alone the poor people in Lingnan?
I only saw the importance that wealthy families attached to education, and the modern nine-year compulsory education throughout my student life, so I felt that studying was easy and within my reach.
In this dynasty, education was vigorously promoted, ignoring historical limitations,
No wonder I always have a feeling of powerlessness, that I have the will but not the ability.
In modern society, nine-year compulsory education has only been popularized in the past twenty years. Before that, it was also difficult for poor people to go to school.
Thinking of this, Su Ying found it funny and started writing quickly.
"What are you writing again?" Fuwang was confused. He had just realized something, so why was he still writing?
"You're right, I'm neither an inspector, nor a governor, nor a county magistrate, so I have no right to be in charge of these things.
However, it is the court's responsibility and the emperor's responsibility. I cannot interfere, but I can offer advice."
After Su Ying finished speaking, she stopped talking and immersed herself in writing her advice.
Isn't it true that there are no teachers in Lingnan? Then we should propose to the court that scholars from all over the country go to Lingnan as officials to teach for three years.
Afterwards, you can get a letter of recommendation from the government to take part in the imperial examination, and your resume will also be counted.
I believe that there are many scholars willing to come to Lingnan to teach. As long as talents flow to Lingnan, it will promote the cultural exchange between Lingnan and the Central Plains, and drive the development of education and culture in Lingnan.
Individual power is small, but if the court pushes it forward, it will be greater than individual power no matter what.
This is a mutually beneficial matter. Scholars can read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, see the real Lingnan, discuss politics without being empty and pretentious, and also get a letter of recommendation.
In various prefectures and cities in Lingnan, a large number of students and teachers were obtained for free, and the teaching staff of county schools and official schools were enriched, which rapidly improved the cultural level of Lingnan.
The cost is just salary and a letter of recommendation, how affordable!
Now Fuwang is in trouble. He failed to persuade him, and he got hurt even more! I wonder what the court and the emperor think of Su Ying's advice?
"We will go back to Huanggou Village tomorrow!" Su Ying finally finished writing and threw the pen away.
"Ah?" Fuwang was confused again. Why did it change again?
"Let's go back and make rock sugar! Leave some people waiting to pick up the goods. Do you want to go back with me?" Su Ying asked.
"Yes!" Fuwang doesn't like this place at all.
Huanggou Village is so fun, and there are delicious foods here. There are Hu Bing (Pancakes), and I finally found a fried dough stick shop, but the dough there was hard and tasted terrible.
Su Ying called Niu Er and gave him the Rong County plan, and handed it to Liu Zhang when he returned.
Just use it as a reference, it’s up to Liu Zhang himself whether to adopt it or not.
"Let's go!" Su Ying was the first to get on Fuwang's carriage. "Oh, it's so luxurious, aren't you afraid of being robbed on the road?"
"Who dares to rob?" Fuwang asked.
"You are so beautiful, with so many jewels and silver ornaments hanging on your body. Is there anyone who covets them?" Su Ying asked back.
"Well, you're showing your weakness by asking this question! It seems you don't know the rules of wandering around outside!
There must be a reason why we dare to be so high-profile and ostentatious.
Do you really think that bandits and scoundrels along the way just robbed everything? There are rules for that.
They're not stupid. They have their own rules about what can be snatched and what can't be snatched!" Fuwang said with a smile.
"Oh, tell me, which ones can be snatched? Which ones can't be snatched?" Su Ying really didn't know.
“Let’s talk about the post stations first. There’s one every thirty miles, and many of them are located in remote, uninhabited places.
"Postmen carried mail on foot or on horseback, so why did no one dare to intercept or rob them?" Fuwang asked.
"Why ask? That's a rebellion against the imperial court. If he dares to rob, he'll be surrounded and suppressed by the government. The post station is a channel for transmitting border military intelligence and local reports."
How is this any different from robbing the post office in modern society? How desperate must one be to do such a thing?
"Then let me ask you again, why don't the bandits rob the students who are going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations?" Fuwang asked again.
"Except for students in official schools who had to pass graduation examinations to obtain the qualification for the imperial examinations, students in private schools and self-taught schools had to pass examinations at the county and state levels to obtain the qualification for the imperial examinations.
Regardless of which type, they are all local talents endorsed by the government, and they have official documents to protect them all the way. If they really dare to rob, wouldn’t that be going against the government? They can’t escape the encirclement and suppression.
Su Ying smiled, "Does this have anything to do with your special car? Could it be that you are using the name of the Shaofu Supervisor?"
Fuwang smiled but said nothing.
Su Ying stared at Fuwang for a long time before she understood.
Whether in business or government, some things are better left unsaid.
The Fulong caravan has a great background, and it may be difficult to understand at first, but as long as you look carefully, you will always find clues.
What's more, Fu Zhong had leaked some true and false, real and fake information, so all kinds of ghosts and monsters would naturally put him on the list of those who could not be touched, thus saving a lot of unnecessary trouble in the process.
Being able to walk around so openly without knowing where he came from, he must have a strong background. This is exactly the effect Fu Zhong wants.
Be low-key when you should be low-key, and be high-key when you should be high-key!
There was a noise coming from the street. Su Ying pulled aside the curtains and saw that Wei Axiao's shop was opening.
He used the twenty strings of cash as compensation to buy a small shop and opened a general store.
You can’t make much money, but it’s stable and you don’t have to be exposed to the sun.
The neighbors all laughed and said that Huang San was his benefactor. He earned twenty strings of cash for free during his imprisonment for a few months, which was a sum that Wei Axiao could not save in his entire life.
Now, with only twenty strings of cash, he can become a boss!
Many people envy Wei Axiao for turning a disaster into a blessing, and hate themselves for not being destined to get rich.
Wei Axiao earnestly told his neighbor that Lord Su Qingtian was his benefactor.
Without Lord Su, he would have been locked up in prison for life and died unjustly.
"Congratulations on your prosperity and business, Mr. Wei!" Su Ying got out of the car and went to watch the fun.
"Lord Su!" Wei Axiao was in high spirits and cheerful.
"Just selling these sundries?"
Su Ying went in and took a look around. It was a small shop that sold common goods such as wooden barrels and water tanks. There was a small courtyard in the back which could be used for living and storing goods.
“Yes, Rong County is poor and can’t afford expensive things. Although these sell slowly, we can still sell a few every month!
We can't eat enough, but we won't starve to death either. I'm quite content." Wei Axiaoben was quite honest.
"Master Fu, how about letting him buy your fans on your behalf?" Su Ying turned and asked Fu Wang.
Su Ying passed on the vermicelli making technology to Rong County, on the condition that it would only be sold to the Fulong caravan.
Wei Axiao made the purchases on his behalf, so the Fulon Caravan saved the trouble of setting up a branch and also gave Wei Axiao a chance to make a living.
"Since Lord Su has said so, how can I not agree?" Fuwang smiled.
"Master Su..." Wei Axiao didn't know what vermicelli Su Ying was talking about. He had only seen fern root vermicelli and kudzu root vermicelli.
But Lord Su specifically asked Mr. Fulong to give him business, so that business must be big.
"Okay, just wait patiently. The government office and the Fulon Caravan will come to you to sign the contract!" Su Ying said to Wei Axiao.
"Thank you, Lord Su!" Wei Axiao burst into tears of gratitude.
"Don't be so quick to thank us! The Fulon Caravan has very strict requirements. You have to be careful when purchasing. If you make a mistake, you will lose money!" Su Ying said seriously.
"I will never fool Mr. Fu!" Wei Axiao said hurriedly.
