Delicious Lady: Lord Wolf, please enter the urn

Chapter 45
"Live at the port? Or the leader?"

When Yang Manyue heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

But there will always be such a group of special people in places close to the docks and ports.

They are in charge of the distribution of dockwork, and those who are struggling will depend on their faces.However, in ancient times, the appropriation by the imperial court to the local area was limited, especially the Zhu family dynasty, which had always been stingy. There were hundreds of people in the entire county government, and only a few people were registered to be able to pay wages.

For the rest, it is up to the local governor to figure it out on his own.

The Bailai people's food, drink and food are not low. In addition to appropriate allocations from the local finance, sometimes the aspiring county magistrate has to subsidize them out of his own pocket in order to do things when the financial quota is full.

So some gangster-like organizations popped up, such as the Cao Gang, the most typical one.The organization in charge of canal water transportation and the distribution of coolies for cargo transportation is the Cao Gang; and ports where maritime trade is prevalent naturally have similar gangs.

Chaiqiao is close to the sea and very close to Beilun Port. Nowadays, sea trade is prevalent, and many ships come to the shore, feeding a group of poor people and also breeding a group of blood-sucking worms.

These people are in a gray area but have countless sympathies with the government.Because of the small number of people, and the order of the wharf and port needs to be maintained, the court cannot afford to support so many subordinates, so to a certain extent, the maintenance of law and order in these gray areas depends on this group of gangsters.

It's ridiculous to say, but it seems reasonable in a country ruled by man.

Thinking of this, Yang Manyue frowned. If she offended such a person, she would obviously be in big trouble.

Seeing that Yang Manyue's face turned pale, Ma Wenru seemed to realize something, and said, "Miss Yang, don't be afraid. The port is not monolithic, and our inspection in Chaiqiao Town is quite fair. If you really come to find trouble, you can take me This post is to find him."

Ma Wenru took out a name card as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Although our Ma family is poor, we can still talk to the inspector. Don't worry, Miss Yang."

Yang Manyue nodded, bowed in gratitude, and accepted the name card.

He secretly said in his heart: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided! Even if I swallow my anger today, the people behind me will definitely not let me go. Instead of doing this, it's better to have a good time!"

The Ye family suffered losses at her hands twice in a row, how could they let it go with the character of that family?
Therefore, forbearance is also subject to the knife, and not forbearance is also subject to the knife, so it is better to have a good time!

After thinking about it, I felt relieved for a while. Because of this little episode, the business became more and more popular that night. At nine o'clock in the later life, everything was sold out, and I packed up and went home.

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Sanniang was handed over the matter of opening the stall, while Man Yue and Chen Shi led Man Cang to the school in Yejia Village.

Originally, Yang Manyue didn't want to invite a gentleman who had something to do with the Ye family.However, although Ningbo has a prosperous literary style, it is not easy to hire a gentleman, especially in the countryside.

Although there are many literati who may be teachers, there are not many.

Then I heard that Mr. Wang Zhi, Wang Ziming, who is in the school now, is talented. Not only does he write good articles, but he also writes very well. With the intention of starting a career, he returned to his hometown to teach.

Wang Zhi's home is also in Housuo, not far from Yejia Village.In fact, this was the garrison of Qi's army back then, and gradually formed a village over time.The descendants of those soldiers took root.

It is probably the Li family from the next village who is not an outsider here, so there is a saying about Li, Erye and Sanmei's family.

Wang Zhi comes from a small family with a small business, and teaching because he is out of touch with the world.He only hoped that his student would be successful, so that he could even out the unfair treatment for him in the future.

After listening to Chen's introduction, Yang Manyue, who was originally opposed, was immediately moved.Precisely because of being made things difficult for many times, not only did she not give up on herself, but she took a slanted sword. Without seeing anyone, Yang Manyue had already glimpsed the character of this gentleman.

Adhere to the ideal but not pedantic, good knowledge, Mancang needs such a teacher.

Leng Yun gave Man Yue a handful of gold leaves, which was equivalent to five taels of silver.It should be enough to buy a bunch of rituals with these, and add some textbooks and pens and inks.

Mei Sanniang introduced them to find the best cured meat maker in Meijiacao and bought ten pieces of bacon.

Although with the changes of the times, the number of bacon strips has decreased.But in order to show that her family is also a farming and studying family, Man Yue has done enough etiquette.

In addition, I also bought celery, lotus seeds, red dates, longan, red beans, and even dried bacon.

When he arrived at the school, there was the sound of reading aloud. Although Ye Qi was a miserable person, he was willing to spend all his money on educating the children of the clan.He probably knows that all things are inferior, but the only one who is good at studying is not only generous in funding, but also working hard to hire a husband, so even though he is stingy and greedy for small things, but for this point, the Ye family still obeys him.

Yang Manyue led Mancang, and Mancang looked at the people in the classroom with joy in his eyes. He likes reading, he likes reading very much, because he thinks it is more interesting than anything else.

Now that I can realize my dream of studying again, I am naturally happy.

Waiting until the gentleman inside had finished speaking, Mrs. Chen stepped forward and shouted at the door: "Mr. Wang, this concubine is the wife of the Yang family, and I brought the youngest son here to learn from the teacher."

"Huh? Isn't this the broom star's younger brother Yang Mancang?"

"What bad luck! My mother said they would kill people, and Yang Manyue is a monster!"

"Don't be impatient!"

A majestic voice stopped the noise of the brats, and then walked out alone.

Yang Manyue was a little surprised when she saw it.

this looks...

so special!

I saw that this person was about 35 years old, with a short stature, and his facial features were actually good, but there was a big blue birthmark on the right side of his face, which almost occupied the entire right side of his face.In addition, there is a big black mole on the right corner of the mouth, with a tuft of hair hanging on it, which is the image of a villain in literary works.

People in ancient times valued appearance more than people in modern times. Those who were officials were not well-rounded, especially those who looked wicked. Not to mention being an official, they would be made things difficult even if they went to participate in the industry. Otherwise, there would be no legend of Zhong Kui.

Hiding his surprise, he saluted with Mrs. Chen, and the gentleman said, "Who wants to learn?"

Mrs. Chen pushed the full warehouse and said, "Hurry up, silly boy, don't show respect to Mr.

Mancang was about to kneel down immediately, but that Mr. Wang said: "Wait a minute. I haven't considered you yet, so I'm not in a hurry to salute you."

Yang Manyue handed over the Shu Xiu Ceremony in her hand, Fushen said: "Sir, this is our Shu Xiu Ceremony. Please accept the full warehouse, sir."

"You are Yang Manyue?"

Wang Zhi didn't even look at Shu Xiuli. Instead, he looked at Yang Manyue and nodded, "It's a good thing to fight with reason without fear of power."

ha?
Yang Manyue was a little dazed, did she become so famous?

"After two days, the old man will take a rest, and bring your brother to the old man's house. The old man has his own arrangements, please go back."

Mrs. Chen didn't dare to say more, she immediately bowed after hearing what Wang Zhi said, and left with Man Cang and Man Yue.

"Mother, is Mancang not allowed to enter this school?"

Yang Manyue felt that Wang Zhi's attitude was a bit strange, and she suddenly felt angry, "Don't you say that this gentleman is an upright person? Why is he pushing back and forth? Could it be that he was afraid that Ye Qi would not accept his full warehouse as a disciple?"

"Don't guess!"

Mrs. Chen stopped Yang Manyue, "Mr. Wang is a very nice person. Although he came to teach here not long ago, he has to teach Ye Qi's grandson a lesson if he is disobedient. He must be a fair person if he beats him. Don't talk nonsense. It's not good for people to hear."

Yang Manyue curled her lips, regretting bringing her brother here.

Although the private school in Ye Family Village also accepts children from other villages, it is still Ye Family's family school after all.With the Ye family and his family having such a quarrel, how could it be possible for Wang Zhi to accept his younger brother as a student?

Not to mention entering his family school, even if Mancang is a registered disciple, I'm afraid he would not want to.

Yang Manyue has no problem reading, writing, listening and speaking of traditional Chinese characters, and can even write a few crooked poems, but she is powerless to teach others.

When you come to an era, you must abide by the rules of an era.Although stereotyped essays have disappeared from this time and space, making art was banned more than 20 years ago, but new rules have emerged.

This Yang Manyue doesn't know how to teach him.So she has to hire a husband for Mancang, otherwise her younger brother will always teach her to be bad.

"Mother, let's ask the Zhou family brothers who opened the bookstore. They are all selling elegant books, and they can always meet some people. I didn't think carefully just now, so I shouldn't come. This is self-inflicted humiliation." , the Ye family not only won’t let the younger brother enter the school, but also won’t let Mr. Wang accept the younger brother.”

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Chen sighed heavily, shook her head and said, "Your mother has thought about it too. But my lady, have you forgotten that if Mancang wants to take part in the imperial examination in the future, someone must be a guarantor, and the head of the village, the head of the guarantor and the old joint guarantor are required. Only when the warehouse is full can you take the imperial examination. If you can get the support of the local teachers, you can save a lot of trouble."

"Although Mr. Wang is only a child, he was not able to become an official because of his ugly appearance, but he is a man of fame. If he is a master of Mancang, it will be difficult for the Ye family to talk to him."

Yang Manyue stared wide-eyed, but she forgot about the Lijia system in the Ming Dynasty.The problem is that Ye Qi is not the head of the village nor the head of the security guard, can he also make a fuss about it?

"Mother, there is someone from the Ye family who will be the head of the village, the head of the security?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, "Although not, don't forget about the full moon. The village head system is a rotation system, which takes place every ten years. In two years, Ye Qi will be the head of the village. Besides, the Ye family The local grain chiefs own the most land, which is why they dared to ask us for grain.”

"Yes, but isn't the Li family the heirloom of poetry and books, is it the strongest family I've ever seen? Why doesn't their land have as much land as the Ye family's?"

Yang Manyue was a little dazed.In the Jiangnan area, apart from the Lichang and the Baochang, there is also a grain chief, and the one who owns the most land can be the grain chief to supervise the payment of grain.

But Li's family has someone who is an official, and they are the biggest family in the future. How could it not be as big as the Ye family's land?
"There is someone in the Li family who is an official in the court, so to avoid gossip, he will not come to be the head of the grain, so Ye Qi will naturally become the head of the grain!"
