Carefree Scholar Chapter 138: The worries of the prefect

　　Ning Palace, somewhere in the wing room, steward Wang looked at the stack of ledger books in front of him, a slightly sad look appeared on his fat face.

　　As a housekeeper who specializes in managing the business of the palace abroad, he has the habit of thoroughly checking the accounts once a month.

　　 In this way, he can understand the monthly income of the palace, compared with previous years, whether it has risen or fallen, and what is the reason? If the income is too low, he will not be able to explain it to him. .

　　 And this is also the problem he is worrying about.

　　 is approaching the end of the year. He added up the total profits of the royal mansion’s business abroad, but it was only half of last year's. Two months later, it is probably only 70% of the previous year. This is considered his negligence.

　　If the prince is to blame, I am afraid that his position as a housekeeper will no longer be kept.

　　 Fortunately, Ruyilu and the spirit workshop are already in operation. The shops in the city will be officially opened tomorrow. These two businesses are his greatest hope.

　　 But how much profit he can get, he is actually not sure.

　　 In case...

　　 Butler Wang was anxious. When he was upset, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a tiger-headed and brainy boy ran in.

　　The bear child’s small face is still slightly immature, but it is seven or eighth similar to the steward Wang, especially the chubby body, a round face is more like a god, rushing to the front of steward Wang, stretched out his hand. A little fat hand said: "Daddy, give me a few pennies, I want to buy candied haws to eat."

　　 Butler Wang was in distress. He suddenly saw the bear child with a round face, and a nameless fire broke out in his heart. He cursed: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and see how you eat! "

　　The bear child is still thinking about waiting to go out and try the "sugar snowball" launched by Liu's candied haws a few days ago. I heard a few friends say that sugar snowballs are more delicious than candied haws, can’t wait He ran in to ask the old man for money, and was reprimanded for no reason, and was stunned there.

　　 "Have you learned all the homework you have taught you?" Seeing the bear child standing there foolishly, the steward Wang felt even more angry and asked sternly.

　　 I’m not the material of studying, I can be admitted as a talent, and then I have been repeatedly frustrated, and I took an errand in the palace. For more than ten years, I have walked to my current position step by step, even though those people are not as good as him. , But reading is the right way, thinking that my unfulfilled dream is entrusted to my son to complete. Whoever thinks that this bear kid has no interest in reading, but he can't forget to eat at any time... It is really his own son.

　　 "Back, back well." The bear child still has some eyesight, knowing that the current father can't mess with him, and he stammers.

　　 "Remember me and listen."

　　 I don’t know what happened to Dad today. Suddenly he wants to test his schoolwork. The child bears fortunately. Fortunately, he has memorized those twists and turns yesterday. Even if he recites it, even though he stumbles, Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

　　 After listening to the bear child, the face of the steward Wang finally improved.

　　 But there are some doubts in my heart. When he tested his homework in the school before, the bear child could not fully recite it once. What happened this time? Evil?

　　 I thought that if he couldn’t memorize it, he reprimanded him, admonishing him to study hard and not to just think about playing and eating all day long... I didn’t expect the bear child to perform supernormally. The words suddenly became useless.

　　 The good plan was interrupted, and Steward Wang's face became stern again, and he pulled a piece of white paper with his hand, picked up a pen and scribbled a few lines on it, handed it to the bear child, and said: "Learn There is no limit. Don’t be arrogant and complacent. Go and learn these words by heart, and I will check them at night."

　　 When I was on the mountain a few days ago, that was what the lady asked the children to carry on their backs. The housekeeper Wang was almost puffed up on hearing that day, so he accidentally wrote down those few sentences.

　　 At this time, just use these few sentences to send the bear child, at least before he recites the meeting, he will not bother himself.

　　 "Go go..." Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand and said impatiently.

　　 The bear kid walked out of the room with the paper in a daze. The ten-year-old head couldn’t fully understand why he had memorized it clearly. What he got was not a reward, but a punishment for continuing to endorse...

　　The bear child who was tricked by his father, sat under the eaves of the wing with a dull face, looked up at the sky, showing an expression of indescribability.

　　 After a long time, the bear child sighed leisurely, took the paper in his hand, and he had been able to read a lot of words after going to the private school for a few years, and soon there was a voice under the eaves.

　　"The rules of the disciple, the instruction of the saints, the first filial piety, the second sincere faith.

　　 I love the people, and if you have the surplus, you will learn literature..., oh..."

　　's voice is crisp and agile as a child, but the sometimes mixed sighs are a bit incompatible with the atmosphere at this time.

　　…………

　　 At the same time, a majestic middle-aged man walked out of King Ning’s study ~ IndoMTL.com~ rubbed his brows, and the cold autumn breeze blew by, which made him sober.

　　 "My lord, shall I send you back to the house?" An old man in a housekeeper's clothes walked over and said respectfully.

　　 The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "No, the road official of the palace is still known, so he will go back by himself."

　　 The old man no longer insisted on hearing the words. He turned around and retreated after seeing the middle-aged man disappear.

　　 At this moment, the middle-aged man walking in the palace has a sad expression on his face.

　　As the prefect of Qing’an Prefecture, he is in charge of the affairs of the Qing’an Prefecture. Two months later, when he returns to Beijing to report on his duties, the court will evaluate his political achievements, including the population and development of Qing’an Prefecture during this year. Farmland, taxation, food, public security, education and other aspects of the situation, and the fines will be raised or lowered accordingly.

　　He doesn't worry about farming and taxation, but the enlightenment alone really worries him.

　　Qing'an Fu students performed poorly in this year's scientific examinations, and the number of jinshi recruited was far less than in previous years. As a result, his achievements in education will be greatly reduced.

　　 can not be accomplished in a day. Although progress in other areas can completely cover up the lack of education, there are still some things that can't be passed in terms of face.

　　 After all, Qing’an Prefecture is the largest city in Jingguo besides Kyoto. The number of students is second only to Kyoto. In previous years, the number of students in the imperial examination was enough to compete with Kyoto, but this time, it was far Throw away far away.

　　 was thinking about this in my heart, and when I passed by somewhere in the wing, I suddenly heard an intermittent childish voice in my ear.

　　"The rules of the disciple, the instruction of the saints, the first filial piety, the second sincere faith.

　　 alas..., I love all the people, and benevolent, if you have extra energy, you can learn literary..., sugar snowball, sugar snowball, sugar snowball, alas..."
