I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 143 Delicate Balance
Guan Yi took someone out of the house. He rode his horse and lowered his head to ask, "Where's your horse?"

The two men, Li Dahu, stammered nervously, "Me, our horse is gone."

Guan Yi, "."

Looking back at Zhou Zhai, he pressed his eyebrows, ignoring the two idiots, "You guys run back."

Saying that, with a whip, people have already rushed out.

At the Zhou family, Yang San said regretfully, "The horses of these two were taken away by the guards."

These two fools also tentatively asked him if he could come back, hehe, what a beautiful thing to think about, if it wasn't for the two horses, the guards wouldn't listen to their nonsense and bring them to Zhou's house.

Yang Xi picked up the hundred taels of silver that Guan Yi put down, "It's getting late, let's eat."

Yang San stared at the silver, "Guanyi is generous enough."

Zhou Yu sneered, "He thought the horse was still there."

Yang San wanted to laugh again, "He lost a lot of money on this deal."

Zhong Yan frowned, "You just believed what Guan Yi said? Do you really believe that he has no bad intentions and didn't send someone to watch us?"

Zhou Yu supported Uncle Zhong, "Even if he sends people to watch, he will send smart people. These two goals are too big and too stupid."

Guan Yi won't even choose spies. If he really wants to keep an eye on the Zhou family, he will definitely choose someone who looks ordinary and won't attract attention.

Zhong Yan was relieved after hearing this, "Why are Guan Yi's subordinates curious about our family?"

Yang Xi smiled, "What they are curious about is the school."

In ancient times, people were illiterate everywhere. It would not be because of troubled times that private schools would accept everyone. The literati still had the arrogance and aloofness of the literati.

Their school does not look at their identity and origin, which is very attractive.

There is no shortage of talents for the powerful, and the family can cultivate talents by themselves, but it is too difficult to want talents without a foundation. There is a school that does not show his identity, and as long as he has ambition, he will be tempted.

Because of Guanyi, the family got [-] taels of silver, a large sum of money, and the whole family was very happy.

Yang Xi decided to buy two sheep and come back tomorrow. They have never eaten roast whole sheep since they went south. 100 taels of silver will be credited to the account, which can be a little extravagance.

Yang San was the happiest when he heard it. There were many children in the family, and they were all looking forward to roasting whole lamb.

After dinner, Yang Xi and his wife took their two sons back to the East Courtyard. Ziheng teased his younger brother with a rattle. Yang Xi asked, "Where's the gift your uncle bought for you?"

Ziheng, "Mother, I'm already a big kid, I've stopped playing with toys for a long time."

The little uncle gave him a wood carving toy, he has grown up, he is the second in the class now, how can he still play with toys!
Zhou Yu chuckled, "You said that you don't grow flesh, but in our eyes you are still a small bean."

Ziheng, "."

This is the saddest place for him, he hasn't grown up lately!
Yang Xi stared at Zhou Yu and comforted his son, "Ziheng is fat and cute, and my mother likes it very much."

Ziheng became anxious, "Mother, will my son never grow taller!"

Zhou Yu cheerfully said, "The little pigs raised in our house only grow meat but not stature."

Ziheng said angrily, "Mother, father bullied me again."

Yang Xi laughed out loud, "Your father is teasing you, you see me and your father are not short, some children grow first, some grow later, and President Ziheng is as tall as your father."

Ziheng looked up at his father, confident in his future, "Well."

Back in the yard, the couple wanted to bathe the child. After a good bath, Ziheng went back to the house to practice calligraphy and went to bed when it was dark.

Yang Xi said to Zhou Yu: "If you have the opportunity, you can go out and have a look. It would be better if you can see the boat that Yang San said."

It's a pity that it's hard to see such warships. According to Yang San's description, the pirates built the warships described in ancient books.

Zhou Yu put down the water for soaking his feet, "When the students have winter vacation and Zilu is a big year, let's go out for a walk."

Yang Xi's heart is moved. There are a lot of scenery in the south, but unfortunately I don't have the energy to look at it. "The nearby states are not very peaceful."

Zhou Yu smiled, "When the time comes, I will think of a way, and there will be no danger."

Yang Xi, "Then take a look in the nearby states."

Zhou Yu had already planned to borrow someone from General Bai, and looked sideways at his wife and children with tenderness on his brows.

Yang Xi soaked his feet, Zhou Yu got up and washed the socks that his wife and children had changed. Yang Xi was holding a box containing silver coins, which were neatly stacked silver ingots and gold ingots.

Yang Xi blinked, they hadn't asked for money yet, but the money was accumulating more and more.

When Zhou Yu came in, he saw his daughter-in-law counting the money, "How come you still count the money?"

Yang Xi frowned, "I count how many families traveled."

Zhou Yu didn't count the family background, and knew about it. Looking at the money box, "Enough is enough."

Yang Xi smiled, "It's more than enough, it's useless. This month, the carpenter sent 50 taels, and there's still a lot left over after eating at home. They have the ability to sell it to Yizhou."

Zhou Yu, "Thanks to Ye Shun, he is now not only the accountant, but also receives a sum of money for the steward."

"It is indeed a talent, but I just didn't have the opportunity to give him before."

Zhou Yu counted the days, "By the way, the lemons you planted are about to ripen."

Yang San asked the merchant to bring back ten lemon trees, and later asked the merchant to bring back twenty lemon trees. Thirty of them survived and 25 of them survived. many.

When the lemons were not ripe, Yang Xi couldn't help picking the juice, and finally it all entered her and Zhou Yu's stomachs. The family couldn't stand the acid.

Yang Xi, "Well, I remember!"

She grows lemons for more than just food.

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed. On this day, Zhong Jin sent someone to send a message back. The news from the capital that King Jiang's eldest son was punished by the emperor to kneel in the rain, and he had a fever when he returned.

The emperor then discovered the hiding place of King Jing's concubines. The emperor had already caught the two concubines of King Jing who had escaped and had already escorted them back to the capital to wait for beheading.

After listening, Yang Xi said, "Exposing King Jing's concubine to save the eldest son of King Jiang?"

Zhong Yan, "King Jiang's eldest son is not easy to live in the capital. The emperor takes him to vent his anger from time to time. King Jiang can't let go of his eldest son, otherwise it will chill the hearts of those who follow."

Yang San looked at Zhou Bing, saw that Zhou Bing was smiling all the time, and looked away, Zhou Bing was the happiest of these two news.

Zhou Bing said leisurely: "I don't know if King Jing regrets it."

Zhou Yu glanced around, "King Jing has many sons."

The smile on Zhou Bing's face disappeared immediately, and he was so depressed that he didn't want to say a word.

Zhong Yan looked at Zhou Bing, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and continued: "The emperor also wants to test King Jiang."

Zhou Yu, "It's not just a test, it also means persecution. As long as King Jiang dares to act, the emperor has reason to send troops. Now that the country is still there, the emperor is the emperor after all."

Zhong Yan looked relaxed, "This is also a balance."

Neither the Emperor nor King Jiang dared to act first, and the chaotic people in the north stabilized again, and the three parties maintained a delicate balance.

Zhou Yu, "The current balance has given many people the opportunity to develop."

Yang Xi glanced at Yang San and said again: "I don't know if the imperial court will continue to squeeze the army's salaries this year."

Zhou Yu's tone affirmed, "It will not continue to be squeezed, and it will be released on time."

The news sent from the north, the short man in the squatting Lord, Barra, had a good person to assist him, and the emperor reduced the expenses of the royal family just for the sake of military salaries.

Zhong Yan hit the nail on the head, "Unfortunately, there is no money in the national treasury."

Even with taxes, it's still not enough.
