Chapter five hundred and eighty eighth homecoming(2/2)
......
And Guo Dan did a great effort to go south this time. He first chose to take a boat to go south to cater to the theme of the Raptors crossing the river. Therefore, the original ten-day journey allowed him to walk for a month.
In order to cooperate with the theme of returning home from his hometown, he came to Nanjing. He first went to his hometown Yangzigou.
This slutty operation made Aunt Xu look at the flowers in the fog.
Now the entire canal is very fast, and the cargo ships run faster than theirs. But he has pushed the whole rhythm faster, but his own rhythm has gradually slowed down, and it is a bit inconsistent no matter how you look at it.
However, when Aunt Xu saw Guo Dan kneeling in the ancestral hall in the village and cried that she was an unworthy descendant, she felt a little pleasure inexplicably.
Although Guo Dan returned to his hometown a little suddenly, everyone in the village soon rushed over. In Nanjing, although the literati and officials did not like Guo Dan and the bureaucrats did not like Guo Dan, the villagers were proud of Guo Dan.
Although Guo Dan did not pass the Jinshi exam, he did do the best to achieve the ultimate goal of businessmen, contracting four prefectures, which was as wealthy as a country, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
This is definitely a return home in glory.
Returning home in glory is the first thing to do is to go to the ancestral hall to worship, and you must cry, and you must say that you are unfilial, which means that thousands of people are crying when they are watching him.
There were also several gentry crying with him, and everyone began to recall Guo Dan's father Guo Shannong.
Soon, Guo Dan found that they were endless and completely immersed in emotions, but he cried until the back and was really not very emotional, so he simply "cried" and passed out.
Not long after lying in bed, he "wakes up slowly" and looked around with several gentry and more than a hundred villagers.
In Guo Dan's eyes, he is actually very poor, but he is much richer than those rural areas in Henan.
Nothing can be compared!
"Uncle!"
Guo Dan said to the old man beside him: "My father's life wish is to be the first Jinshi in Yangzigou. Unfortunately, I failed to do it. And I, an unfilial son, failed to achieve my wish for my father. Therefore, I hope to build a primary school for Yangzigou so that the children in Yangzigou can study for free. If I have excellent grades, I will send them to Kaifeng Prefecture to study in a better college. We must give us a Jinshi in Yangzigou."
The squire listened very happily.
The uncle Yang Sheng said, "Do you have this filial piety? I believe that Shannong will feel relieved even if you are under the nine springs."
Guo Dan smiled slightly and said, "In addition, I will donate another thousand taels to build the ancestral hall."
Everyone's eyes were wide open.
One...one thousand taels to build a ancestral hall?
this.......
Yang Sheng hurriedly said: "I can't use so much, I can't use so much."
Guo Dan said: "The remaining money can be built for the countryside, or help the villagers in difficulty."
We are all in trouble!
A middle-aged man said, "Guo Dan, since you have such a promising prospect, why don't you help the villagers find some livelihood?"
Yang Sheng glared at him slightly. After all, he was a scholar and thought you were a little too direct. Guo Dan had just returned on the first day, so I'll say it tomorrow.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "If everyone really wants to find some work, I can build some warehouses by the river and find something for the villagers, but it may be more difficult..."
Before he could speak, the villagers became excited.
"We are not afraid of hardship, we are afraid of hunger."
"As long as you can find some work for us, no matter how hard or tired we are, we will do it."
.....
Guo Dan nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll make some arrangements at that time."
When everyone saw Guo Dan agreeing, they were overjoyed and looked at the middle-aged man who was just asking questions--the question was beautiful!
Suddenly, I heard a sound of pigs and ducks coming from a distance.
Everyone looked up and saw a large group of pigs and ducks coming here.
Yang Sheng hurriedly called someone to go over and ask if he had gone to the wrong place.
Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Uncle, I called it, I plan to invite the whole town to the banquet today."
Inviting the whole town?
Yang Sheng was as stupid as a gangster, and his values gradually became distorted.
The banquet has not happened in the whole village. You can have a banquet in the whole village.
Just what Guo Dan said just now, plus the group of pigs and ducks, they were thrown out by a few thousand taels.
Yang Feixu glanced at the group of pigs and ducks and said, "I didn't expect that he would be so generous to these villagers."
The reason why she had this question was because she had never heard Guo Dan mention her hometown, and even her father rarely mentioned it. In addition to making excuses to not be an official, she also always felt that Guo Dan was a very businessman and was profit-oriented.
