Water Margin farming to become powerful

Ma Chong said in a low voice: "Brother talks like this, but you are afraid that there are people from the Supervisory Committee listening? Are they watching you? I'm afraid many of the people here are the eyes and ears of the Supervisory Committee?"

Du Cai was taken aback when he heard the words, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "The eyes and ears of the supervisory committee?"

"The people here are not to mention the eyes and ears of the Supervisory Committee. If they really know what we are talking about, even the woman who cooks in my family will stand up and say something nice for Sun Xin. Those of us If the words are heard by outsiders, they will turn around and take the initiative to inform the supervisory committee that they have gone to the supervisory committee, and they will be so happy if there is no reward."

Ma Chong was extremely surprised: "This Sun Xin actually has such an ability to confuse people."

"It's not demagogy, but what the real people want."

Seeing Ma Chong's strange and disbelieving expression, Du Cai smiled and said, "You must have inquired a lot about the style of the supervisory committee these days. What do you think, brother? Is it a peaceful world?"

Ma Chong looked disdainful, and shook his head: "I've heard about his supervisory committee, how to help farmers, let children study, etc., but how can such words be believed? Some people have enough money to support many people. Zhuang Ke, what are you trying to do? It’s not just a rhetoric to get people to join the club, it’s just a trick to deceive people.”

"What is the picture, isn't the picture the aspiration of the people?"

Ma Chong looked indifferent.

Du Cai said: "You don't believe it, but if I don't go to Dengzhou myself, how do I know that there is such a place in the world?"

Seeing Du Cai didn't want to argue with him, and Ma Chong wanted to talk, when the child in the room poked his head out and took a look.

Seeing the child poking his head, the two knew that the discussion between them was not good for outsiders, so they didn't speak.

The child didn't notice anything unusual, he hurried out and said to Du Cai: "Father, I have finished my homework today."

Du Cai said solemnly with his hands behind his back: "Have you checked it? Have you warmed up Mr.'s book?"

The child said with a shameless smile: "It's overheated, Daddy, I want to go out and play."

Only then did Du Cai nod his head: "Let's go out and play, come back before dinner."

The kid ran out with excitement.

Ma Chong originally thought the child was Du Cai's servant boy, and then he asked suspiciously, "Is this your adopted child?"

Although Du Cai had a majestic expression just now, his eyes lingered on his back for a while when he watched the child go out, and then he retracted his gaze and explained to Ma Chong:
"This little baby is also surnamed Du, and he is from Henan like me, and from the same county, which is rare."

"He didn't have a mother since he was a child, so his father brought him to Dengzhou. His father had already done it. The supervisor was the company commander of the protection army, but he didn't expect to die in the battle of Liangshan. This child According to the supervisory committee, they are called orphans of martyrs, and they need someone to take care of them.”

"I saw that he was cute and clever, and he fell in love with me, so I told Mr. Sun Xinzhuang that he would be taken into my house as an adopted son, so that he could take care of me in the future, wouldn't he?"

Ma Cong nodded, eunuchs must have a retrograde consideration, indeed they all have the habit of adopting children.

He thought of the kid's white body and neat clothes just now, obviously living a better life on weekdays, so he asked casually, "Is he still able to study in the supervisory committee?"

Du Cai nodded: "Generally, children have to go to school in the supervisory committee. This is mandatory, and they can only be released after three years of schooling. If they have not attended three years, the supervisory committee will also charge education tax."

Ma Chong clicked his tongue.

And Du Cai continued: "Martyr orphans like my children are treated differently. There is a martyr primary school specially set up in Sunjiazhuang to teach them, and the things taught are more solid."

Ma Chong was surprised that the Supervisory Committee had such a complete pension for the fallen soldiers, and his awe of the combat power of the Supervisory Committee was even deeper. If you can go to school for free, even if your parents don't send it, you have to pay more taxes to go to school.

He had also heard about the policy of the supervisory board, but he thought it was just propaganda, but seeing Ma Chong's expression of course when he said this, it seemed that this policy was already being implemented normally in Dengzhou.

"What's the use of their Supervisory Council teaching children for so long?"

Du Cai said with a smile: "If the child learns to read and write, he can go to any factory in Dengzhou."

"Didn't you see that this Dengzhou factory is recruiting people in many places, and now that Sun Xin's power has expanded again, factories all over the country have opened, and the shortage of people is even more serious."

"It's easy to recruit some manual laborers from the refugees in Hebei and Shandong, but how can people who can read and write escape famine?"

"It's not that he himself has taught so many workers who can read and write. I'm afraid that most of the factories will not be able to start."

He also said: "It is also good for children to read more books, so that they will not suffer like us in the future."

"Are these words too big?"

Du Cai stood up and pointed at his clothes: "Does my brother know why I wear this bunt? These clothes are the clothes of the clerks in the bank of his supervisory committee. I wear these clothes to work in his bank on weekdays. Yes, at first In order to be able to mix with them as soon as possible and inquire about more news."

"But after a long time, I am willing to wear this dress myself, just because when I wear this kind of clothes, people will really treat me as a clerk, and I feel more at ease in my heart. If I change to the brocade clothes, people will know me at the first sight." It's a eunuch, first look down on me three points, and I feel even more uncomfortable in my heart."

Ma Chong was also an eunuch, and he couldn't help being deeply moved when he heard Du Cai's comments.

But he didn't fully believe Du Cai's words, and retorted:

"People like us are still eunuchs no matter what clothes we wear. Don't we know what others think of us? After such a fate, we are the only ones who are loyal to the official family in this life and seek glory against the master. They can tolerate us ? Brother, you are so crazy."

Du Cai shook his head firmly.

"It's different here!"

"Huh? What's the difference?"

Du Cai was also moved by the talk, and took the initiative to explain: "There are many people who can write and calculate in this supervisory board bank, and they don't rely on four books and five classics to select talents in this bank. You are a master, Master Jinshi, there is usually no place for you to sit in this bank. You have to be able to calculate and calculate accounts before you can be an official. I can call and calculate. The people in this bank really respect me, not like the outside Well, when people see that we have two faces, they are either afraid of us or scold us."

Ma Chong listened with surprise on his face: "I don't believe this, if it is really possible to do this, wouldn't there be no respect for the four people in the city?"

Du Cai became excited when he heard the words: "The respect of the four people, what is that good thing? Before you became a eunuch, did you think about the respect of the four people? Without the respect of the four people, we wouldn't be able to become eunuchs." Eunuch."

Ma Chong was stunned when he was told, he never expected that Du Cai's affection for the supervisory committee would be so deep, and he only felt that Sun Xin had poured him some ecstasy soup.
