Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao's eyes flashed and he said anxiously: "Hurry, send him in."

At this moment, the Magistrate Zhao's face was flushed, as if he was catching a life-saving straw.

He became a Jinshi at the age of 30 and had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, but he was just transferred to the position of magistrates of various counties. This is the case in the officialdom. It is basically impossible for you to be promoted without any way to political achievements and generally you want to be promoted.

If the county magistrate Zhao, who was unmanned in the court, had to make political achievements during his term of office if he wanted to be promoted. Now that Japanese pirates are rampant in Ningbo Prefecture, Zhao County has ordered the city to be closed. In this case, problems with the supply of food will definitely starve to death. Paper cannot cover the fire. Once the above knows, let alone the promotion, even the black gauze on his head may not be guaranteed.

But now it’s different. The Xu family’s queen took the initiative to donate grain. As long as he receives this batch of grain as an official, he will distribute relief in the city and ensure that he will not starve to death and punish the people, he will not only not have any mistakes but will achieve success.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but feel a little fond of the queen of the Xu family.

In a short while, Xu Yan was taken to the second hall.

He had already written a draft in front of the county yamen, so he bowed deeply to the magistrate Zhao and said, "I was late and Xu Yan, who paid homage to the county magistrate."

The Ming Dynasty treats scholars with courtesy, and scholars can not kneel down when they meet officials with fame and fortune.

Although Xu Yan has not yet won the reputation of a scholar, he is a student of the great scholar Mr. Wu. In addition to the status of the local gentry and wealthy family of the Xu family, Xu Yan was already very respectful to pay a visit to Zhao Magistrate's Day in private.

Magistrate Zhao naturally knew it, and he nodded and smiled, "I heard that Xiansheng is here to donate grain?"

Seeing that Zhao Magistrate Zhao was straightforward, Xu Yan replied respectfully, "That is exactly what Huixian Zun said. Now that Japanese pirates are raging, the city reserves are tight. It is shocking to hear that a dou of rice in the city has been sold for two cents of silver. Mr. Wu often teaches: The sages are always unintentional and take the hearts of the people as their hearts. Those who are good will be kind; those who are not good will be kind, and those who are not good will be kind, and those who are good will be kind. Those who believe will be trusted will be trusted; those who do not believe will be trusted will be trusted. The sages are in the world, and they are soothing and conscientious will be the world, and the people are all obsessed with their ears and eyes, and the sages are all children. Although the young son is not talented, he also wants to do something for the elders and fellow villagers in Dinghai County. My father always teaches that he is the old and the old, and those who are young. Therefore, the young son is willing to donate three thousand stones of rice on behalf of the Xu family."

Xu Yan's words were so passionate that Zhao Magistrate naturally felt very satisfied.

Of course, his focus was on the last.

Three thousand stones, Xu Yan actually had to donate a full three thousand stones of rice!

Even though Zhao Magistrate's Town was very deep, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Three thousand stones of rice are enough for the whole county to eat for a month.

Xu Yan really solved him and Dinghai County’s urgent needs!

"Okay, OK, OK!"

Magistrate Zhao said three good words in a row, took a deep breath and continued: "Xian Sheng is so conscious of the overall situation and has made such a righteous act in times of danger. He is worthy of being from a famous family. This county is very comforting, and this county is very comforting!"

Zhao Magistrate Zhao likes Xu Yan now. This is not just because of Xu Yan's behavior of donating grain, but because he was able to say such righteous words at a young age. Although these words were first said by the saint, it was so appropriate to say them from Xu Yan again.

What is even more commendable is that this boy is only 14th and 15th, and his vision is so high and his mind is so broad that his future will definitely be limitless.

At this moment, the magistrate Zhao had the idea of ​​cherishing talent in his heart, and he gently stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Wu is a great local scholar, and the virtuous student must follow him to study hard."

"Late child is obeying the teachings of the county."

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Xiansheng hasn't picked up the words yet, right?"

"I have not won the title of the late son, and I have not taken the title."

"Well, that's it. If this county gives you the words now, would Xiansheng want to?"

Magistrate Zhao laughed in harmony.

When Xu Yan heard this, he felt excited.

A man will get a crown of twenty, and usually the elder will give the words to him at this time. This elder is usually the teacher.

But this is not absolute. Sometimes it is okay for elders to give their words in advance if they are in a good mood.

County Magistrate Zhao took the initiative to give Xu Yan the words, but he naturally had no reason to refuse.

You know, this is equivalent to Zhao Magistrate recognized Xu Yan as his disciple.

Of course, because of Zhao's special status, he could not be Xu Yan's master directly. Xu Yan's master was still Master Wu in name.

However, with the relationship between Zhao County Magistrate, it will be of great help to Xu Yan in the future imperial examination.

How could Xu Yan refuse?

"You dare not obey the elder's order?"

"good!"

Magistrate Zhao smiled happily. This young man is really sensible.

He was twisting his beard while pondering. After a long time, he said in a harmonious voice: "Speaking is the theory. If you establish the theory, how can you use the knowledge of the county to describe the word "sage"? "

I have to say that Zhao Magistrate is still knowledgeable, and this word is extremely clever.

Xu Yan immediately responded: "Student Xie County granted the name of "Part 1"

Magistrate Zhao nodded slightly, smiling without saying a word.

Both sides knew this well. Xu Yan accepted the word "Magistrate Zhao" to recognize the relationship between master and apprentice.

As a human being, we should pay attention to etiquette and exchanges.

It is impolite to come but not come.

Xu Yan's voluntary donation of 3,000 stones of grain solved the urgent need of Zhao County, and Zhao County must of course give back to express his feelings.

His statement should not be too vulgar or too stinky. Accepting Xu Yan as his disciple is the best choice.

Of course, this relationship is relatively obscure and outsiders will not even know it. But it is enough as long as Zhao County Magistrate and Xu Yan know it in their hearts.

Of course, Xu Yan would not be so stupid that he brags everywhere. After all, this bond can help him go further in his career at critical moments.

"Oh, county master, the student has asked someone to transport the rice and grain to the yamen. The mentor will send someone to receive it later."

"kindness."

County Magistrate Zhao responded and said, "Although the Japanese pirates are cruel, as long as the people of Dinghai County are united, the Japanese pirates will not be able to take advantage of them."

He paused and then continued: "This year's county examination was postponed due to Japanese attacks, but it will not be cancelled. You must review your books and get a good score. Don't disappoint the county."

Smart people always speak until they are on the right track.

Xu Yan naturally knows the elegant meaning when he hears the sound of the strings.

You should know that the chief examiner of the county examination is the county magistrate. As long as Xu Yan passes the exam well, Zhao Magistrate will definitely let him pass.

Of course, Xu Yan will definitely do his best to take the exam. After all, the better the score in the county exam, the higher the impression the score will give people during the government exam. If you can get the first case, the government exam is basically equivalent to being recommended.

"Students follow the teachings of the county honoree. They will do their best to prepare for the exam and live up to the expectations of the county honoree."

Xu Yan bowed deeply to the magistrate of Zhao County and said politely.
