Chapter 30: The Net of the Majesty of the County
Chapter 30 �
One thing before forced another.
Although Zhou Mengchen did not value this position so much, he could not give in and naturally wanted to take it back. Now he was arranged by the county magistrate to be the troublesome matter of the nursing home. He didn't think much about this busy man.
But at this moment, Zhou’s mother’s words woke Zhou Mengchen up.
In the past three years of mourning, Zhou Mengchen mostly calmly adapted to this era, and was no different from the people of this era, and others could not see their own abnormalities. He even thoroughly studied the Zhou family's collection of books, which could transform modern mathematics into the language of ancient mathematics. This is the fundamental reason why Zhou Mengchen could communicate with Feng Li.
If it hadn't been dormant for these three years, even if Zhou Mengchen had a lot of modern mathematical knowledge and discussed it with mathematicians in the Ming Dynasty, it would have been a bad thing.
At this moment, Zhou Mengchen suddenly remembered Feng Li's words. In this era, making money is a small matter, and only a career is the right way. A few days ago, the little eunuch of the King of Chu's mansion also taught him a lesson. With no two taels of meat under his crotch, he could drink in front of Zhou Mengchen and take away five hundred taels of silver.
Zhou Mengchen thought about it now, and he might not feel at ease in his heart.
Zhou Mengchen didn't have to step on someone, but he didn't want to be stepped on by someone's feet. He didn't even have the ability to bite him back.
This ninth rank official is too young.
At this moment, Zhou Mengchen had a deep consideration of one question, that is, should I go to the Imperial Heavenly Prison? Or is the Imperial Heavenly Prison the only way out for Zhou Mengchen in his life?
Zhou Mengchen seemed to remember something, so he took out a wooden box from behind, opened it in front of Zhou's mother, and said, "There is five hundred taels of silver here, please take it with you. It is also good to maintain the family business and see if you hire a maid or two, and if you can buy some of the land we sold at the beginning."
Zhou's mother was shocked.
Zhou’s mother knew that Zhou Mengchen’s hurdle might have passed.
This is exactly
Zhou Mengchen has earned as many as thousands of taels in the past few days, but the money he has not lost is too much, including raw materials, wages, expenses of the sanitary school, etc., and the big and small heads fell, and Zhou Mengchen only lost more than two thousand taels of profit, but Zhou Mengchen could not completely get this amount of money.
Zhou Mengchen did not forget, why did he make such a toss?
It is for the raising of the house.
He only took out five hundred taels and left them to his mother, which could be considered as making up for Zhou's father's deficit in medical treatment. The rest of the money was left in the Yangjianyuan, and he planned to renovate the Yangjianyuan. He also set up a school so that these children could study, not to ask them to be enterprising in the imperial examination, but to only ask them to be able to read and write, and to understand some daily mathematics.
It’s okay for the elderly, but the children can’t stay in the stewardship for the rest of their lives.
It all requires money.
Zhou Mengchen naturally left his head in the Yangjiyuan, and even prepared to keep most of the profits in the Yangjiyuan. If the family hadn't been really sad, Zhou Mengchen would not have planned to withdraw the money from the Yangjiyuan.
Zhou Mengchen returned to the room and thought about it, but he didn't make up his mind.
Zhou Mengchen felt very insecure in this era, so he refused to make a decision easily.
"But some things can be prepared." Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Even if he doesn't go to the capital, he always needs some reputation as a talisman."
How can you have a reputation?
Of course, it is writing books and biography.
In order to be grateful to Feng Li, Zhou Mengchen thought of sorting out the mathematical knowledge he learned from later generations and giving it to Feng Li. Now that he has accepted a disciple, he naturally has to sort out the lesson plan well and not mislead his children. In the future, the private school of Yangjiyuan will be opened, and Zhou Mengchen will also have to publish mathematics textbooks.
So these three things became one thing for Zhou Mengchen.
Write a math book.
When Zhou Mengchen first started this matter, he thought it was very simple. But when he thought about it carefully, Zhou Mengchen felt a little troublesome.
Because understanding mathematics is different from writing a complete and systematic mathematical book. Moreover, Zhou Mengchen also needs to refer to some mathematical knowledge in ancient China and some conversion of mathematical terms. This requires careful consideration.
Just as Zhou Mengchen began to think calmly. The news slowly made Feng Li know through Uncle Zhang. Feng Li immediately greeted Uncle Zhang and Li Ziwen and others, and did not disturb Zhou Mengchen recently. He even sent some housekeepers to the Yangjianyuan to help, so that Zhou Mengchen could calm down and concentrate on writing.
But such a thing is a different explanation in the eyes of different people.
Among the county government.
The magistrate of Wu County was paced back and forth, and his small eyes as big as black beans were constantly flashing. The light was unstable.
The magistrate of Wu County is now full of anxiety.
The magistrate of Wu County was very dissatisfied with the fact that some money should belong to him and could not enter his own pocket.
What is money that should belong to you?
Of course, Zhou Mengchen made such a big noise.
He is the magistrate of Jiangxia County, and Zhou Mengchen is an official of Jiangxia County. He rounded up all the money of Zhou Mengchen, that is, the money of his magistrate of Wu County. Even if Zhou has a backing office, some of it is his magistrate of Wu County. As long as part of it, he, Wu, is already quite generous.
He was originally in the position of Jiangxia County Magistrate. Now the Ming officials who live on their salary, and he also has to support a group of teachers, family members, beautiful wives and concubines. He also worked very hard, but in the past six months, the largest amount of money, which is the 500 taels of silver in the king's way.
Is this arguing for his dignified Jiangxia County Magistrate?
The magistrate of Wu County felt that this was too inappropriate and too disregarded the court's integrity.
What's even more unreasonable is that Zhou Mengchen has no sense of filial piety to his superiors. He has never been able to wait for Zhou Mengchen to come to him with tactfulness, so he won't blame him for being rude.
However, the reason why the magistrate of Wu was able to sit firmly in the position of magistrate of Jiangxia was because he was timid. No, he himself felt that he was cautious.
Being cautious is a good habit, and Zhuge is only cautious throughout his life.
Before the Wu County Magistrate was about to attack Zhou Mengchen, he naturally had to figure out Zhou Mengchen's backstage. After all, in Wuchang City, there was too little room for Wu County Magistrate to attack him. Even ordinary people might involve someone's relatives. Not to mention, it was said that Zhou Mengchen's backstage was Marquis of Fengcheng.
The magistrate of Wu County did not believe this.
After all, the scene where he was unable to make Zhou Mengchen a month or two ago is still vivid in my mind.
If Zhou Mengchen reveals a little bit of his relationship with the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion this time, he would not dare to do so hard for him. More importantly, he has done these things and has not heard of Fengcheng Marquis Mansion. This shows that there is no very close relationship between Zhou Mengchen and Fengcheng Marquis Mansion.
As for Zhou Mengchen's mathematical talent, he attracted the admiration of Hou Shizi, Fengcheng.
The magistrate of Wu County didn't believe it at all.
For those who do not even calculate the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by themselves, some great mathematical ideas cannot be explained clearly to him, as if they cannot tell the bright colors to blind people. Therefore, the magistrate of Wu always sneered at these rumors, thinking that Zhou Mengchen was giving his face. Even such absurd words were released.
However, the magistrate of Wu County was still cautious and asked Master Liu to inquire about Zhou Mengchen's background.
The most important point is what is Zhou Mengchen’s relationship with the little Marquis of Fengcheng, which directly determines what he is going to do?
The magistrate of Wu County naturally sent his right-hand assistant, Master Liu, to inquire carefully.
But Master Liu has not heard of it for several days.
This made Wu County Magistrate so anxious that he was worried.
"Master Liu is here." A maid whispered.
The magistrate of Wu County raised his beard and said, "Please please, please."
After a while, Master Liu came.
The magistrate of Wu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Master Liu's hand and said, "Old Liu, have you found out?"
Master Liu said, "I found out that Fengcheng Houzi likes mathematics and has some friendship with Feng Li. This time, Feng Cheng Houzi stood up for Zhou Mengchen, which was Feng Li's great favor. I have been observing recently and found that Feng Cheng Houzi has never had any contact with Zhou Mengchen."
"I think it's Zhou Mengchen who released this news came from raising his value."
The magistrate of Wu County said: "Take it serious?"
Master Liu said: "Take it seriously, there is another thing that can prove it."
"A little eunuch in the King of Chu's Mansion can even get some money from Zhou Mengchen. If he is really a friend of the Prince of Fengcheng Hou, how could such a thing happen?" Master Liu said with a gentle smile.
The magistrate of Wu County was overjoyed, and he slapped his high fives and said, "Okay, OK, OK."
Master Liu said, "County Master, we--------" Master Liu made a cutting gesture, not to kill people, but to cut leeks.
The magistrate of Wu County pondered and stood up and walked slowly, shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't be anxious, wait a minute and see if Zhou Mengchen really has no background. Secondly, no matter what he said, he had met Fengcheng Houzi. This matter must be done safely. Even if we go to the lobby, we must stand up and take care of it."
"We must do an iron case."
Master Liu smiled softly and said, "Please rest assured that if you want to investigate the problems with money and food these days, you will find them. I am also a veteran in the public. The county master wants gold cases, there are gold cases, wooden cases, and iron cases, and naturally there are iron cases."
"Okay." said the magistrate of Wu County: "If you do it well, your benefits will be indispensable when things are accomplished. However, don't worry, you are not afraid of being too late."
Master Liu nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
The magistrate of Wu County began to open the Cairo net and approached Zhou Mengchen bit by bit. In order to catch Zhou Mengchen off guard, the magistrate of Wu County and Master Liu were particularly careful. Even Huang Zhubo hid it for the sake of foolproof. But there was no airtight wall in the world.
