Shu Blossoms

Chapter 436: Wang Can's Mind

Zheng Wei didn't dare to hold her back in front of Wang Zaifu, she regarded herself as a junior, and stood beside Wang Xu honestly, watching Wang Can carefully eat a bowl of porridge.

"Lord Zaifu, is the porridge still easy to eat?" Seeing Wang Xu watching his father eat the porridge he personally pounded the rice, Zheng Wei was a little apprehensive and hopeful, and asked after thinking about it.

Wang Xu looked at his father expectantly, and saw that his father carefully ate the last grain of rice, and praised, "It's very sweet, and reminds me of the bowl of porridge with wild vegetables that I ate on the way to the south when I was young. Hungry." It took three days and three nights to eat that bowl of wild vegetable porridge saved by my grandfather, and the sweet taste is still endless aftertaste!"

Seeing that his father liked it, Wang Xu couldn't help smiling. Zheng smiled and said: "In addition to the richness and sweetness of the mountains and mountains, this bowl of porridge also has a son's filial piety to his father, so it is naturally sweet!"

Wang Can glanced at Wang Xu with relief, and quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Zheng Wei seriously, "I heard that the supervisor asked those scholars to pound rice by themselves before they can eat, otherwise they would have to starve, but is there any reason?" This matter?"

Zheng Wei guessed that he was looking for her for this matter, thinking that Wang Zaifu came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, so she straightened her body and answered with her head held high, "Yes, it is my rule!"

Wang Can saw that although she was a bit stern in the face of his questioning, she did not back down in the slightest, admitted frankly, with a flash of admiration in her eyes, and asked calmly: "As a sir, seeing that my students are hungry Do not care about homework, do you know what I think?"

Zheng Wei was not afraid at all, instead he beat Wang Can upside down and questioned Wang Can, "Lord Zaifu, since you asked, I will tell you, first of all, I didn't let them starve, Wang Xu, Yan Zhuoyun, Lu Xun, even Liu Wei had food this morning Eat, those who are hungry are their own choices. Furthermore, I would like to ask you, it is inevitable that your majesty will be negligent when recovering from a serious illness. The food, fruits and vegetables needed are properly arranged! Now you don’t give me a single grain of rice, and I managed to get the food. How do you feel about raising a group of people who are vegetarians?"

"So, the supervisor's establishment of these rules is just a helpless move, not a deliberate idea?" Seeing his own words, Wang Can drew out all the dissatisfaction in the princess's heart, raised his eyebrows, The words in his mouth were not polite at all.

Zheng Wei originally wanted to admit it confidently, but accidentally met Wang Can's eyes, saw the scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, and swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

After thinking for a while, she said, "It was indeed a stopgap measure at first, but when I worked hard all night and only got three bowls of rice, then I realized the hard work of the common people. Rice pounding is just the simplest They are unwilling to do work, and they are unwilling to do it to fill their own stomachs, so how can they understand the hardships of the common people from sowing seeds and transplanting rice seedlings to harvest.”

"They are going to be officials in the future, and they won't be a farmer!" Wang Can argued.

"This is not right!" Zheng Wei suddenly retorted a little excitedly, "What is an official? The book once said that it is the king. An official must first be able to protect the people under his rule before he can be a better king. Share your worries. When Your Majesty told me to teach and test these scholars in the palace, I asked what to learn and what to test. If what you learn is to weigh the pros and cons of the officialdom and how to plan interests and powers for your family, that is These scholars from the gentry are born with it, so there is no need to learn it, if you want to learn it, then learn something that a real official should learn!"

"I know that you gentry only serve as upright officials when you become officials, and you swear that you will never become corrupt officials! But even if you only do learning, learning should not be something that is lightly talked about. Those who have left their names in history have also tasted the hardships of life!" Zheng Wei paused as he spoke, leaned closer to Wang Can and said in a low voice: "As far as I can see, the gentry want to change the current situation in the court, but after the prime minister, there are no ministers capable of governing the world, the situation of the gentry will be even more difficult!"

As soon as Zheng Wei finished speaking, Wang Can suddenly looked up at her, and asked softly: "Then according to the Princess, what is an official?"

"When I was living abroad, I once heard a sage say that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

Zheng Wei didn't remember exactly where this sentence came from, it seemed to be imprinted in her heart, but she understood the meaning of this sentence.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left gracefully. Wang Can looked at her leaving back and sighed, "It's a pity!"

Wang Xu looked at him puzzled, "Why is it a pity for father?"

"At the beginning, I only heard that the owner of Danyang County was too troublesome. I didn't understand why Xiao made such a decision to think of her as the clan's wife. After hearing a lot about her, I only thought of her as a little clever girl. Listen to Mr. After a few words, it suddenly dawned on me that I was so wrong for my father! If I could know it earlier, even if you are already married, you should ask for it for the second child! That would be my Wang family's blessing!"

Wang Xu was surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect his father to think so highly of Princess Danyang!
"Although the princess is good, not everyone can bear it. With the reckless temperament of the second brother alone, confronting the princess may make the family restless! And you don't know the mother's temper. !" Wang Xu shook his head, mainly because he didn't dare to rob Xiao Yucheng of his wife, he would be punished miserably!
Wang Can also knew that it was futile to say these things, so he stopped thinking, turned to Wang Xu and said, "The princess has already given the answer to the question I asked for my father today, do you have the answer?"

"Received by the princess, my son has a new idea!" Wang Xu got a new inspiration from Zheng Wei's words, and said goodbye to Wang Can, "I'll go back and write it carefully!"

Wang Can nodded, he didn't go back to the lobby to watch the scholars write their theories, but he inquired all the way to the warehouse, and sure enough he saw Zheng Wei here, Yu Tuzheng looked sadly at Zheng Wei who came to search for him again, "Jun Lord, we only have some green vegetables, and there are still some courgettes and purple melons on the shelves in the field. I don’t know where the thieves stole a lot a few days ago. Even if you save it, it’s not enough for you.”

"Yu Tu, I don't want these things of yours for nothing, don't you want these brothers of yours to stay here for the rest of their lives?" Zheng Wei listened to him talking about the little thief, although her heart felt guilty, she still blushed and tried to persuade her.

"Can you help us?"

Yu Tu looked back at those brothers. They also fought bloody battles on the battlefield, but now they can only stay here and farm the land in despair.

"I can help you, but you have to fight for yourselves, so that I can speak for you in front of His Majesty!" Zheng Wei actually thought that if these people are available talents, helping them would be considered repayment when borrowing food that day. This favor.

Yu Tu's expression calmed down, and just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Wang Can not far away, his face changed slightly and he hurriedly saluted: "Yu Tu has seen Wang Zaifu!"

Zheng Wei looked back when she heard the words, just in time to see Wang Can who was slowly approaching.

Wang Can walked to Zheng Wei's side, looked down at Yu Tu, and asked calmly: "General Yu knows the truth?"

Yu Tu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Wang Can, "Master Wang is Yu Tu's benefactor!"
