After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 42 Preparation ([-])

Ning Yu deliberately changed into an official uniform to go to the theater.

The stage is set up in the martial arts practice field of the Shangwu Academy where Erfang lives.

All the masters and servants of the Xu Mansion were present, and even Liu Xin, the sick Sixth Miss, came out to join in the fun.

The first thing to appear is the street fighting scene rehearsed by the Zhangjia Martial Arts Hall——Qin Yuchuan.

It plays the heroic deeds of Qin Yu, a heroine of the former dynasty, who took off her skirt and changed into a military uniform after her husband died in battle.

The opera troupe, storytellers, and brothels convened by the third lady also performed Qin Yu's biography. In addition, there were two other legends about people resisting foreign enemies in the history of Nanli County.

After the play, there was endless applause.

When everyone who watched the opera left Shangwuyuan, they all looked agitated and hesitated.

Ning Yu was quite satisfied and called the actors over to make arrangements.

"Since you are able to act in the Xu Mansion today, you should know what I am going to do. From now on, you will follow the third lady and listen to her arrangements. You can act whatever you are told, and go wherever you are told. Whoever dares It's a mistake to drop the chain..."

"kill!"

Hearing the magistrate say "kill" lightly, the actors' hearts were shaken, and they couldn't help thinking of the rumors of the past two days, saying that the magistrate was cruel and selfless, and they unconsciously felt afraid of Ning Yu.

Lowering his head lower and lower, the magistrate's gentle and majestic voice fell into his ears again.

"You don't have to worry about your livelihood. From tomorrow onwards, the government will officially hire you. The salary is the same as that of the Yamen Kuaishou. Those who perform outstandingly will be rewarded."

To be able to find a job in troubled times, all the actors are naturally willing, except for a few members of the military attache of the Zhang family - they want to fight the enemy more - fortunately, the second wife said that when the recruitment is over, they don't have to go to the street to perform.

After beating a group of actors, Ning Yu and the third wife strolled back to the chashou corridor of the Nomination Academy.

"Mother, there are more than 300 villages, two groups, one group is responsible for six to ten villages, the number is not enough, you ask father to choose some articulate and clear-minded students from the academy students, and work together to educate the people and convey the wishes of the government Things."

The news of Dayou's subjugation was posted outside the county government. It was posted for more than half a month, and now more than half of the people in the city don't know about it, and the rural areas are even more uncivilized. The average number of people in a village who can read is less than three.

Not to mention others, Li Xiaoying is illiterate.

If you want to fight against the enemy, you need to let the people with shallow vision understand what is war, what is blood, and what is sacrifice. Only when they realize from their hearts that there will be a lot of bloodshed without a small amount of sacrifice, will they be willing to serve their relatives and their homes Fight hard.

Only in this way can we truly achieve effective and united efforts.

Under her rule, people can be illiterate, but they must not be ignorant.

The common people may not be able to understand the notices, or understand the teachings, but they can remember the dramatized stories.

The power of story is great.

Integrate truth, human feelings, situation, and battle situation into the story to spread it and convey it to every Nanli commoner.

Very important!
When Ning Yu was speaking, the silvery white moonlight mixed with the orange light from the lanterns and candles spread on her face, reflecting a firm look. The third lady looked at her precious daughter, feeling a sudden sense of pride, and a gratified smile rose from the corner of her mouth. He said softly, "OK".

Sensing the eyes of the old lady who was about to burst into tears, Ning Yu took her hand and walked more slowly.

"Running through mountains and villages is hard work. I have a classmate named Liu Li. He was born in a humble family and lived in the countryside since he was a child. He knows the villagers' temperament and habits very well. Lack of courage."

"I asked him to do this with mother. Mother will take care of him more. When he can take care of himself, mother can relax."

……

The next day.

Ning Yu counted out the martial arts and strong and strong servants, took them to the Yamen together, and arranged for them to go to Chengdu Mansion with a shopkeeper of Chen Ji Liang Shop together with 37 people from the Zhang Family Martial Arts Hall.

A group of 74 people, led by Xu Zhuang, assisted by the eldest brother of the second wife's family.

After sending it to the county government, Ning Yu told Xu Zhuang:

"A large amount of grain going out of the city will definitely attract the attention of the Chengdu government. After getting the key to the warehouse, we will keep a small amount and keep it low-key. First, we will transport the grain out of the city to find a place to hide it and keep it there. I will let the elder brother's people come back when they come back."

It is unrealistic for these dozens of people to transport so much food and travel seven or eight hundred miles.

But it is not enough to keep the food in the city.

"Don't worry, son." Even if he died, he would send the food back safely.

"Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Zhang are here, so I don't worry."

Uncle Zhuang has always been reliable in his work. What Ning Yu is worried about is not whether the food will be returned, but their safety.

Ning Yu cupped his hands, "Everyone take care!"

"Set off."

With an order, the food protection team set off.

Ning Yu rode Xiao Hongyan back home first, and led the third wife to the bookstore where Liu Li copied books and sold story books, introduced the two to each other, briefly described his new job to Liu Li, and then rode the little red swallow. Hongyan returned to the county government——

Meeting!
Each village in Nanli County has a village head, and according to the size and population of the village, a Lizheng is appointed for every three to five villages.

380 two villages, a total of 84 Lizheng, 75 people came.

And Li Zheng, who manages Xinghua Village, happens to be Xu Ningfeng, the eldest grandson of Xu Qin.

That day Xu Sheng asked the descendants of the "Ning" and "Si" generations to come to Xu's mansion to kneel down and block Ning Yu, Xu Ningfeng cleverly hid himself, so he was not arrested.

Xu Ningfeng's appearance is ordinary, giving people an honest and refined feeling. He is three years younger than Xu Ningwen, and is 27 this year.

In the evening, Xu Ningfeng returned to Xinghua Village.

After three days, the three clan elders got together again.
