Chapter 20

Three days later, when the whole project was completed, masu felt that she was reborn in a trance.

Liu looked at her suntanned son and couldn't stop her tears. When she saw the scarred blood bubbles in her son's palm, her body was almost soft.

As Liu's only son in her life, she believed in the belief that her husband died and followed her son. Now she pulled her eldest son to be the same as the farmers outside, which made her complain a little.

Ma Su washed his face and said to Liu, "mother, don't worry, I'm not good."

Liu said with tears in his eyes, "but... Why did your teacher let you..."

"Mother speaks carefully."

Facing Liu's astonishment, Ma Su said without hesitation: "mother, the teacher's move is full of profound meaning, and I have some enlightenment."

Fang Xing was at the gate of the courtyard at this time, with several bear children standing in front of him.

"Young master, this is the fruit we picked up in the mountain today. We haven't been willing to give it to our brothers and sisters."

A child wearing a pair of cloth shoes showing his thumb said proudly.

Fang Xing felt warm in his heart. He took the unknown wild fruit and was not afraid of poisoning, so he stuffed it into his mouth.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

The bear child saw Fang Xing eat his own delicious food, and the beautiful nose bubbles almost came out.

"Well, it's sweet."

After eating the fruit, Fang woke up and magically took out a box of fruit from the porter. Each bear child sent two, even the girl who needed to be carried by his brother.

"Go home quickly. Remember to wash your body by the river first, otherwise you will suffer when you go home!"

Fang Xing sent off several children with a smile, then took out a snake fruit from the carton and took a big bite with a click.

At noon, the daughters-in-law who went to fill the green stock feed envied the good luck of the children in the morning.

"That fruit looks like the flat peach of the queen mother. My second son is very filial. Everyone in the family eats it. It's delicious!"

"Young master, what a kind man! We are so lucky to meet such a master."

"Yes, if anyone dares to move the young master's finger, I'll tear him!"

“……”

Ma Su was also at the scene. While cutting the green stock feed into short pieces with a guillotine, he listened to these peasant women's words, but he had some understanding in his heart.

"The common people don't care what you are. Daming or Datang are in power. He will only care about his own life. Only when the common people's life is good will they look at the world."

Fang Xing used another way to let Ma Su know the etiquette when he saw Cang's truth, and the honor and disgrace when he had enough food and clothing.

This effect is more effective than any book. Masu feels that he has a deeper understanding of the words of saints.

"How do you feel this time?"

Tomorrow is the time for the hospital to test the results. Fang Xing and Ma Su stand beside the green storage cellar and watch those farmers cover the film on it. Finally, they seal it with soil to isolate the air exchange inside and outside.

Ma Su's eyes were bright. "Teacher, during this time, I learned how to get along with people and how to organize people to work to improve efficiency. I also knew that there were so many mysteries in agricultural work."

Fang Xing nodded with satisfaction, but he still knocked and said, "it's not enough. You still need to understand the ideas of these farmers and know what they care about, like and hate."

"And these will be the basis of your future administration, okay?"

Ma Su understood. He looked at Fang Xing, who turned and left, and felt that he had never been full and safe.

The next morning, Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui got up early. After having breakfast with Xiaobai, they waited outside.

Soon, Liu Shi and Ma Su also came.

"Thank you."

Liu's gratitude is sincere. She knows very well that without Fang Xing's support, it can't be said that their mother and son have been out of food for a long time.

And although Fang Xing didn't teach masu making, he gave all his notes to masu, which is equivalent to a scholar or even a prospective Jinshi teaching masu in writing.

You know, if it wasn't for the family change, Fang Xing was a genius with a high voice in the middle!

"You're welcome, sister-in-law. Please sit down."

Zhang Shuhui got up with a smile and greeted Liu with the most appropriate attitude.

"Teacher."

Masu's mood was a little uneasy. He was worried that he didn't succeed in the exam. In that case, he felt ashamed of his mother and teacher.

Fang Xing felt his mood and said faintly, "it seems that your mental cultivation is not enough. Let's help them dig canals."

A ditch needs to be dug at the side of the pit, otherwise Fang Xing is worried that water will enter in the rain, so some people are working there today.

"Husband!"

Zhang Shuhui looked at Fang awake, but masu bowed and said, "yes, teacher."

When Ma Su went, Fang Xing also picked up his fishing rod and went fishing by the river behind Chuang Tzu, giving it to Zhang Shuhui.

Zhang Shuhui looked back and said with some embarrassment, "sister-in-law, this is really something..."

But after his son's persuasion, Liu smiled and said, "you're welcome, young lady. I understand the childe's intentions."

Ma Su has a large appetite recently. If he didn't get three kilograms of flour every day after he joined the project, Liu really can't afford his son.

After Zhang Shuhui and others offered tea, they said tactfully, "sister-in-law, Dehua asked me to tell you something."

Liu nodded and listened.

"Dehua said that if masu is a scholar, first, he is not allowed to receive gifts, and second, he is not allowed to receive land and slaves."

Zhang Shuhui is really embarrassed. As a teacher, Fang Xing wants to deprive students of the benefits of the success of the imperial examination. It's really out of tune!

Liu Shi was stunned and immediately said, "I listen to his teacher."

Anyway, Liu always believed that Fang Xing would not harm her son, and respected her teacher like her father. Since Fang Xing arranged it, she had to suffer.

As a scholar, Ma Su's family is exempt from corvee and grain tax. You can accept slaves. If you do well in the exam, you can also receive some money and food from the Yamen. It can be regarded as the state's support for you.

The most important thing is that if a scholar commits a crime, he can't be punished unless you remove his school status first.

"Don't worship your parents when you see them. Just call them old parents. If you want to find the yamen, you only need a two finger wide note that says Zhisheng..."

While digging ditches, masu thought about the various benefits of the scholar, but gradually, his eyes were only the hoe and soil.

"Crackling..."

A burst of firecrackers came from the outside of Fangjia village. The farmers who were digging ditches thought it was a wedding.

But when those people in Yamen service clothes came in, everyone was stunned. First, they thought who had committed the crime, but gradually, everyone's eyes focused on Ma su.
