Chapter 342: Invite the Master
"Okay, okay, no problem, all of this is easy to discuss. I'll leave the matter of inviting the teacher to Wan Ning."
Since the teacher had discussed this with Shen Wanning, Shen Wanning immediately decided to go to Baocheng County. Since there was nothing to do at home, she left the tea harvesting and hybrid rice planting to Lin Jingce.
In addition, there are actually not many people growing tea in Daqing Village. Most of them grow fruit trees, so she is not too worried about tea.
As for rice, when it comes to farming, Lin Jingce is much better than her. Shen Wanning can rest assured that the hybrid rice will be in his hands.
Arriving at the Baocheng County government office, the yamen runner saluted and said, "County Master, oh no, County Master, the Master is not at the county office. He has gone to the village below to check on the crop planting situation."
"It's already past dinner time, why haven't you come back yet? Are you masters usually busy so late?" Shen Wanning looked outside. It was almost dark, and Lin Jingyou hadn't returned to the county government office yet.
The bailiff sighed, "Yes, our master has been leaving early and returning late recently. Even before, he usually looked after various cases from the past, or tried old cases. He has lost a lot of weight recently. Please come and comfort him. He is really working too hard."
Shen Wanning understood that Lin Jingyou must be hoping to achieve some achievements as soon as possible so that he could be transferred back to the capital after the palace examination next year.
After all, with Shen Wanning's current rank and the hybrid rice she has grown, she is likely to be awarded a title again. At that time, she will need to go to the capital to express her gratitude, and may even stay in the capital.
"So when do you adults usually come back? Can you come back tonight?"
The yamen runner gave a wry laugh and shook his head, saying, "I didn't know. Sometimes you come back early, as early as the hour of Xu, and sometimes you come back late, even until the end of the hour of Hai."
"It's too late. I have to go on duty so early every morning. How can I rest well at night?" Thinking of this, Shen Wanning felt a little distressed.
"Forget it, you go down first. I just ate outside, so there's no need to bring me food. Let me know when your adults come back." Shen Wanning said, and prepared to go back to the room to wait for Lin Jingyou.
When I return to my room, I can also live broadcast and chat with netizens.
Xiaojiu wants to lose weight: Seeing how hard Third Brother works, I feel a little distressed. Otherwise, the host can take out some potatoes and plant them, so that it can be counted as Third Brother’s achievement.
Liuyue Feixue: Yes, or you can grow soybeans. The oil yield of soybeans is quite high.
Xiao Nuomi: That’s right, all the credit for the crops we planted before went to County Magistrate He, so let’s give some to Third Brother too!
Yang Liu Qingqing: It’s okay to plant sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes. Since the sweet potatoes have already been planted, it’s okay to plant some other varieties of sweet potatoes.
Loved One: Don’t even think about it. In just the past few years, Nü E has discovered so many kinds of crops. If she discovers more in the future, the imperial court may become suspicious of Nü E.
Thunder in the sky: That's right! Right now, the emperor is far away, and they haven't come to verify the origins of these crops. If there were more, people would definitely be suspicious.
I am electricity and I am light: Stop giving me random advice. The hybrid rice produced by the female goose will be out soon. At that time, you can at least submit a method. You can't keep making excuses saying that other things were just encountered by chance!
Shen Wanning looked at everyone's comments and felt that what they said made a lot of sense.
If you take out too many things, people will definitely become suspicious, and it may be difficult to resolve the situation.
Fortunately, Lin Jingyou was involved in the research on hybrid rice, so he will also have a share of the credit.
Thinking of hybrid rice, Shen Wanning had a flash of inspiration and came up with a new idea, but it would have to wait until next year.
At around 8:30 in the evening, Lin Jingyou finally returned. The yamen runners told him that Shen Wanning had arrived, and as soon as he entered the house, he walked towards Shen Wanning's room.
The moment Shen Wanning turned around and saw Lin Jingyou, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart, and mist instantly blurred her eyes. "Third brother, you've lost weight. It's only been a month since we last met, how come you've lost so much weight?"
Lin Jingyou came over, held her hands tightly, and pulled her to sit on the chair. "Maybe it's because the weather is getting hotter and you've been wearing less clothes, so you look thinner, but actually you're still the same as before."
Shen Wanning reached out and touched the stubble on his chin. "You can even see the bones on your face. How can you not be thinner? I heard from the yamen runners that you work very hard, leaving home early and returning late every day. Third brother, you work too hard. Even if you are working for the people, you should take care of your health."
Lin Jingyou grabbed her hand and smiled tenderly, "It's okay, I'm not tired. It's just that it's spring plowing season recently, and there are more things to do in and out of the village. Wan Ning, is there anything going on at home that brought you here?"
Not wanting to make her worry, Lin Jingyou had to change the subject.
Shen Wanning nodded and said seriously, "I did come here for something, and I'd like to ask Third Brother for help. The school in our town is now completed, but it's difficult to hire a teacher, so I wanted to ask Third Brother if he has any recommendations."
"Teacher? Let me think about it." Lin Jingyou began to ponder. After a while, he said, "As for candidates for a teacher, I do have one in mind. His name is Xie Qianfan. After passing the imperial examination, he was my classmate for a year. However, he broke his leg while climbing the mountain and had to drop out of school. Xie Qianfan is from Guangming Town, not far from our Daqing Village. I just don't know if he would be willing to teach in Daqing Town."
"Okay, I'll give it a try when I get back. By the way, Third Brother, do you think I can succeed if I want to hire Xiao Jiang and his teachers to come to Daqing Town?"
Lin Jingyou thought for a moment and replied, "It should be no problem. If we offer a higher price, they probably won't refuse. But if that's the case, then we'll have to make proper arrangements for the other students in their school."
"The village head said that after the school in Daqing Town opens, there may be more children sent there. So I thought about hiring two teachers, one to teach the children who have just started learning, and the other to teach some children with a basic knowledge base. Otherwise, the children's academic foundations are different, and it may be difficult for the teachers to teach them." Shen Wanning said.
"Wan Ning's consideration makes sense. Since we have decided to invite two teachers, I might as well recommend another one to Wan Ning. Cui Haoran was once a scholar at Bailu Academy and was very knowledgeable. But later his parents died one after another, and he was delayed for a few years to observe the mourning period. He took the exam several times afterwards but failed. He is from Qinghe County and he is the only one left in his family. He might be willing to go." Lin Jingyou said.
"Hey, isn't he a teacher in the county?" Shen Wanning was a little curious.
