Chapter 791: The Flying Dandelion
Gao Jingyan was a little helpless. After learning that he would follow Ma Su to Suzhou Prefecture, he told his parents when he went home.
"Father, the academy said that this will form a routine in the future. The child will have to go there for half a year, and there will be classmates in half a year to replace him."
Gao Jingyan's father rubbed his rough hands and said, "You have never been far away from home when you grow up so old. I am a little worried about my father, but Xing and Bo have great kindness to you, so you... go, and when you come back in half a year, you will be a grown-up."
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is the dream of the literati in the past.
Although Gao Jingyan's father had never attended school, he also knew a simple truth: if a child had to struggle, he would have no future if he didn't struggle.
So Gao Jingyan set out with the instructions of "to struggle".
...
Suzhou Prefecture is one of the richest places in the Ming Dynasty and also the place with the heaviest taxes.
However, when Ma Su arrived, he found that the people and merchants were not worried, so he asked Xiao Zhi, the shopkeeper here in the Sihai Market.
Xiao Zhi is elegant and doesn't look like a businessman. He smiled: "At first, Suzhou Prefecture was still suffering, but when he couldn't pay the tax later, he was still afraid for a while. Later, you should know, I owe it. If you owe it, just..."
Ma Su remembered a passage that Fang Xing once said and said, "Don't worry about too much debt, and don't itch if there are too many lice."
Xiao Zhi was stunned and then smiled and said, "It's really the right thing to do, hahaha!"
Gao Jingyan listened to these things a little ignorantly and slowly savored them.
After settling down at the Sihai Market, Gao Jingyan asked Ma Su: "Senior brother, why do the court promised them to owe taxes?"
Ma Su looked at this rather spacious room and said with satisfaction: "Suzhou Prefecture's taxes are the best in the world. You should know the historical origin. As for why taxes are allowed to be owed, it is because the court felt that it could not force the people too much. Otherwise, Suzhou Prefecture would be in chaos and not only could the taxes be collected, but after the wars broke out, Jinling would be threatened."
Gao Jingyan thought about it carefully and said happily: "Yes, high taxes are just the king's anger, but stable places are the king's responsibility. The contradiction between the two should be based on stability."
The two settled down, and the next day Ma Su and Gao Jingyan went out to visit students who liked science.
Once science is spread through its direct expression and practicality, it is loved by those poor children. Not only are they, but some Confucian students with independent thinking ability are also secretly studying themselves.
There was a private visit to the Sihai Market in the early stage, so Ma Su found a child with ease.
The yard in front of him looked quite large, and Gao Jingyan said anxiously: "Senior Brother, we won't find the wrong place, right?"
Ma Su shook his head, then pulled the door knocker.
The door was opened soon, and the doorman looked at Ma Su outside the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
When Ma Su came out, he explained that he should dress ordinary and let people know that science does not judge talents by their identity.
So when the concierge saw Ma Su's clothes were ordinary, he inevitably neglected a little.
Ma Su didn't care and bowed, "Students come to find Wang Fu. Please inform me, and I will say that Ma Su from Zhixing Academy is asking for a visit."
The concierge frowned and said, "Then you wait for the notification."
The door was closed, and Ma Su stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people around him calmly.
After waiting for a long time, just when Gao Jingyan felt that he was going to be turned away, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
"But are people from Zhixing Academy?"
Ma Su said: "That's right, science is the only one, no one can counterfeit it."
"I have met two senior brothers in the lower Wang Fu."
A young man came out from inside and saw Ma Su, and hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"I'm dismissing Ma Su, Brother Wang is so polite. We are abrupt and please forgive me."
After greetings between the two sides, Wang Fu quickly invited the person in.
In Wang Fu's study, he took out the two math books and a dictionary and said: "I used to have no interest in arithmetic, but since I bought the first volume of mathematics, I have been fascinated by it."
After looking at Ma Su, Wang Fu smiled and said, "I just finished the second volume and I have no progress. Today, Brother Ma and the others came here. I have been drought and raining for a long time! Welcome."
Wang Fu then asked some questions, which was also the only choice for verifying his identity.
But when Ma Su easily wrote down the next stage of knowledge on paper and used several typical exercises to demonstrate, Wang Fu had no doubts anymore.
"Brother Ma Gao Cai, I would like to ask you for advice every day."
Ma Su remembered the exquisite scenery he saw when he first came in, and knew that he wanted to invite himself to stay in the Wang family.
"No need to do this. I will be staying in the Sihai Market for a while. Brother Wang can go there at any time. But..."
Ma Su changed the topic and said, "I wonder if Brother Wang can contact some local students who love science. No matter how poor or low a person, you can go to the Sihai Market to find me."
Wang Fu's face was happy: "But Xing and Bo Gu are thinking about our Kyuwu teaching?"
This is a smart person.
“That’s right.”
Ma Su stood up and said, "I am getting off Ma Su, whose courtesy name is Fuyang. This time I came to Suzhou Prefecture by my mentor."
"I have never had a word yet, and I have met Brother Fuyang."
...
"Wow……"
"Um?"
Fang Xing woke up suddenly, and then he didn't bother to put on his shoes and rushed to the next room.
The turn of the wet nurse was coaxing the potatoes in her arms, and then she urinated for him, and then she fell asleep peacefully.
Fang Xing returned to the bedroom, and Zhang Shuhui was already awake.
"Husband, did you urinate?"
Fang Xing went to bed and lay down, and then fell into a confused state: "Well, I'm peeing, go to bed quickly."
After having a child, Fang Xing felt that he had quickly developed a skill.
The next day, he woke up early in the morning and was recruited into the prince's uterus.
Zhu Gaosui left, and Zhu Gaochi was in a good mood, so the Eastern Palace had felt that the kind and kind prince was back in recent days.
With a nice smile, Zhu Gaochi was helped into the main hall.
But as soon as he entered, Zhu Gaochi saw Liang Zhong looking at Fang Xing with a helpless look on his face.
Zhu Gaochi took a look and said nothing wrong! He stood very well.
Liang Zhong coughed dryly, and Zhu Gaochi found Fang Xing's body trembled, and then blinked his eyes and saluted.
Zhu Gaochi, who often saw those eunuchs and palace maids dozed off, immediately understood. After sitting down, he asked, "Dear did not sleep last night?"
It is normal for a young man to not sleep for one or two nights.
Fang Xing resisted the desire to yawn and said honestly: "The child at home made a fuss twice at night and didn't sleep well."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head, feeling that Fang Xing was too doting on potatoes.
"Is potatoes good?"
"Okay, you can eat, sleep and make trouble, but you can't do it."
After the two talked about family matters, Zhu Gaochi talked about the main business.
"What did Dehua think about the so-called military ambition?"
Fang Xing immediately said bitterly: "Your Highness, am I not suitable?"
