Chapter 1,687 Ma Yu

Guangzhou, Panyu County, Wanghe Village.

A young scholar led another young scholar to the entrance of the village: "Sir, this is the hometown of Hou Xue."

Colander looked at the village under the big banyan tree and said, "Well, it's full of greenery, quiet and elegant, and it's a nice place."

Several little kids were playing at the entrance of the village. As soon as they saw the two of them, they threw away their bamboo horses and wooden knives and ran towards the village. As they ran, they shouted: "Brother Xiu Cai is back! Brother Xiu Cai is back!"

There was a sudden disturbance in the village. Not long after, an old man appeared at the entrance of the village: "Zizheng is back? Oh, and there is this young man, but he is Zizheng's classmate?"

In terms of age, Colander is younger than Wang Shu, a scholar from the state school. Wang Shu was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand: "Dad, this is my teacher, official companion, my transfer judge on Guangnan East Road, Guangzhou Tong

Judge, the world-famous Xiao Su Tanhua!"

Mr. Wang looked at the young scholar next to his son, and couldn't help but feel surprised and confused. He cupped his hands and said: "Yunpan...Yunpan..."

It was followed by the three words "old parents" that I was used to, but this time I couldn't say it.

Colander didn't take it seriously, waved his hands and said: "Don't call me that, old wise man. There is no guard of honor, and there is no official uniform. I just came to inspect your village."

Only then did Mr. Wang quickly say: "Then, the flower-hunting man, please come. The flower-hunting flower of the imperial dynasty will come, and the whole village will be filled with brilliance!"

Several people sat down in the hall of Wang's house. Mr. Wang said outside: "I wonder why Tanhualang came with Quanzi this time? Quanzi is making progress in his studies in the state. If there is anything that is not respectful and makes progress, Tanhualang will just take care of it."

I'm just going to practice my family law, and I won't care if I kill you!"

It seems that parents have said this to me many times during home visits. Laoshao smiled and said: "Zizheng's articles are good in theory and theory, but Guangzhou is not a good place to improve knowledge. I asked my old cousin to manage a few places at the Capital University.

, preparing to send outstanding scholars from Guangzhou to study."

"Zizheng is also among them. I came here this time just to ask the old man what he meant. As the saying goes, if your parents are here and you don't travel far, you must have a good way to travel!"

"The Capital University?" Mr. Wang was overjoyed and almost jumped up: "Did Su Nehan find the opportunity? Then you must go!"

"I read the newspaper and know that this place is home to the most outstanding literary works in the world. It is a blessing for my Wang family to have this opportunity."

After saying that, he finally stood up and bowed deeply to the colander: "Even if my Wang family pawns the property and sells the land, I still have to let Zizheng go!"

"That's not the case." Colander quickly stopped the old man and helped him sit down: "The Transport Department has a system. The students sent to the Capital University this time will have a four-year semester, and the Transport Department will allocate special funds from profits.

You will be responsible for the travel expenses along the way."

"In addition, each student will be given two 'school support subsidies' per month, which will be used for food and accommodation in the school."

"But there is one condition, that is, after four years, Zizheng must return to Guangzhou and stay in the Yamen for four years to help the government handle government affairs. After that, it is his choice whether to work in the shogunate or become an official through the imperial examination."

"Because it takes eight years, the scholars selected this time are all between seventeen and twenty-two years old. After eight years, Zizheng will only be twenty-five. Taking the imperial examination is not considered a late arrival.

"

Guangzhou lacks political talents. When Colander arrived here, he discovered that the problem here was the low quality of civil servants, otherwise the Municipal Shipping Department would not have been messed up by a general officer.

So I came up with this trick.

However, this is a tree planted by the predecessors and used by others to enjoy the shade. It is estimated that by the time these students return from their studies, the colanders will already be serving as officials elsewhere.

Worried that the families of the selected scholars would not agree, Colander decided to visit each family and patiently persuade them in person.

Unexpectedly, Colander was completely overthinking it. The teaching quality of Sujia Xuepa was naturally far beyond the comparison of ordinary households.

To the Su family, being a Jinshi is easy, but in the eyes of a family like Mr. Wang, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Colander is also worried that these families would rather have their children raised locally than have them travel thousands of miles away to study. Little does he know that for these families, this is a coveted opportunity.

After all, not every family is like the children of the Su family. "It's hard to get into college, and it's like picking up mustard for a child." It has become a habit to obtain fame before the age of twenty.

Although the proverb "thirty old Ming Jing" and "fifty young Jinshi" was only popular in the Ming Dynasty, it is now a dynasty in which the five great families came together. It is conceivable that the difficulty of the imperial examination is actually higher than that in the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, I heard Mr. Wang laughing out loud: "The government has treated me so favorably, and it is only natural that Zi Zheng has accomplished something in his studies. He should return to report the emperor's favor and go to his hometown to benefit his family."

"What's more, you have to observe politics before becoming an official, and you will be ahead of others when you start from now on. Tanhua Lang has thought so carefully for the students of this path, and all the elders of the same path are impressed by Tanhua's virtues."

Colander didn't expect that things would be accomplished so easily. Instead, he didn't know what to do next: "Uh, then it's settled?"

"It's settled! For such a happy event, we should hold a banquet and treat Tanhua well!"

The next step was to talk about family matters. I heard from Mr. Wang that Wanghe Village was at the junction of salt water and fresh water. Jiang Caoshuai was encircling the fields, and Wanghe Village was also within the scope.

However, Wanghe Village is different from other villages. Other villages divert fresh water to flush the fields and use the river water to flood the fields. Now, those tidal flats can either grow rice or grass to raise livestock, and they have harvests.

The river in Wanghe Village is small and the tide is strong, so the tidal flats are still barren and cannot be planted. The cement breakwaters are now covered with oysters.

When I hear the colander, holy shit, let’s go and take a look!

When we came to the breakwater, it was at low tide, and we could see that the cement blocks below the tide line of the entire bay, for miles to the left and right, were densely packed with oysters attached to them.

The colander was shocked and murmured: "They...why do they like cement so much?"

Mr. Wang said outside: "Yes, in a few years, these oysters will make the breakwater stronger. I guess by then, it will be almost possible to plant something in the breakwater..."

The colander was so excited: "Where else are we going to plant? Wouldn't it be better for us to raise oysters?! They like cement, so I'll give them cement!"

This time it was Mr. Wang's turn to be shocked: "This thing... can it still be kept?"

"Would you know if it can be raised?" Colander opened his schoolbag, took out a pen and paper and scrawled a note, stamped his own seal and handed it to Wang Shu: "Send this to the Shipping Department and ask Nu

Erma sails the boat to pull things over, let's give it a try!"

On the third day, a beautiful little sailboat came outside Wanghe Village, and everyone in the village ran to the seaside pier to watch.

The dinghy is a flat can given to a colander and is designed according to the latest plans of the Royal Naval College Yachting Interest Group.

This yacht is very close to the sailing yachts of later generations. It uses a huge triangular sail design. Considering that the power and durability of the motor are worrying, it can only be played in the bay. The flat tank is replaced by the latest one for my brother.

With its diesel engine configuration, it can sail three hundred nautical miles at a time.

Zhao Xu also got one. It was a wedding gift built for Zhao Xu by Bian Guan and the teachers and students of the Military Academy. It was just an electric boat without sails and could only be used as a toy in Jinmingchi.

Colander is very busy and has never had the chance to play with the yacht. This boat is actually used by Nurma a lot.

Nurma threw the cable to the colander: "Master, the cement is here!"

The next thing is very simple. Colander understands the basic habits of molluscs and knows that these animals need to grow quickly in places with a lot of plankton. In the past few days, they have designed a preliminary feeding plan.

Tanhualang played whatever he liked, and Mr. Wang mobilized the whole village to play with him. Tanhualang nursed all his sons to Bianjing City and paid them back. He has done so much for the people of Guangnan East Road in more than a year.

Good deeds, what’s wrong with playing for a few days?!

Inside the bay, the people of Wanghe Village have helped Colander build many bamboo rafts, and the bamboo rafts are connected with bamboo poles.

There are two plans for the colander. One is to make cement pillars, two meters long, nailed into the sand. The tops of the four cement pillars support each other to form a cement shelf to increase stability. Then, the oysters taken from the breakwater are used

The cement sticks to the cement pillar, leaving enough room for growth.

Another option is to use abaca thread that is resistant to seawater corrosion, tie it to a string of cement cakes, stick the oysters on the cement cake, and then hang them on the bamboo poles between the bamboo rafts.

Wanghewan is a large bay with gentle tides and river currents. There are many people in the village who rely on the sea to eat. In the past few days, Su You has found out what kind of water and what depth the oysters are in.

The fattest one.

I heard from my elders that oysters take three years to be the best, but the young oysters attached now are only a little over a year old, and we can only wait for the harvest in a year and a half.

Colander just gave the villagers a look, and left the rest to Mr. Wang. I heard that the mackerel in this area is the fattest, so Colander also brought fishing gear this time and asked a few old fishermen to carry it.

Go fishing in the open sea.

Because of the oyster incident, Colander named the yacht given by his brother the Oyster. The name of the boat was not good, but its performance made several old fishermen envious.

After asking again that the five thousand guan in this boat could not be obtained in Guangzhou, several old fishermen couldn't help but were speechless and stopped trying to imitate him.

Fishing for mackerel is very simple, just go out to sea under the moon, find the fish nest, put down the string hook, and wait for the harvest.

Throw the floating ball into the sea, leave ten feet of empty line at the bottom, hang a two-meter-long sub-line, then hang small fish on the hook and throw it into the sea.

The entire fishing line is one thousand meters long, with a sub-line hooked every two meters. The hook door of the hook is very long. This is to prevent the mackerel from biting the sub-line due to its strong teeth.

There is no need to wait until the line group is finished unwinding, and the line can be collected.

Under the operation of the colander, the Oyster made two small cuts in the wind and circled back to the starting point of the float.

An old fisherman couldn't help but cheered: "This guy Tanhualang is so neat!"
