Chapter 1135 "Learning from the Best Sun Heitan"
After Sun Shan finished speaking, he led a group of officials away.
A leader like him who holds a high position of power needs to act aloof when necessary, and cannot be too approachable or verbose.
Maybe the people below are eager for you to leave as soon as possible so that they can regain the air of freedom.
Sure enough, after Sun Shan and a group of officials left, the atmosphere at the gate of the county school became much more relaxed and the air became much more lively.
Candidate A, like Wang Jiaxing, did not sleep well last night. He had dark circles under his eyes and said listlessly, "I got up too early today. Hey, I didn't sleep much last night, and I have to travel later."
He looks like a child from a rich family, spoiled and pampered.
Candidate B shook his head and said, "The time of departure is good. We have to set off even if it takes us to the middle of the night. Look at Lord Sun, he also got up early with us."
Candidate C is Sun Shan's latest fan. He said with stars in his eyes: "Lord Sun is such a good official. He cares so much about us taking the exam. We must have done good deeds and accumulated blessings in our previous life to meet Lord Sun. This time, he not only sent guards to escort us, but also provided us with accommodation and food subsidies. Oh, Lord Sun, please invite a group of such people."
As soon as I heard the tone of his voice, I knew that he was a good candidate who was grateful.
Candidate Ding Lianlian agreed and said: "It doesn't matter whether I am escorted or not. The most important thing is that Mr. Sun will review my essay. Oh my God, Mr. Sun actually read my essay.
Ten days ago, I bravely took the article to Mr. Sun. Although I didn't find him, I found Mr. Sun's cook and asked him to help deliver the article. Alas, I didn't expect that a few days later, Mr. Sun actually read my article and encouraged me to study hard. "
Candidate Ding is a smart person. The government office is deep and it is not easy to find Lord Sun.
But it’s different when you find a chef, you see them coming out to buy groceries every day.
Emma, they found Mr. Sun's cook so accurately - Nanny Wang, Mrs. Xia, and Big-Headed Dog, and then really corrected the article.
The candidates were stunned and looked at Candidate Ding with shining eyes.
Usually they also want to let Mr. Sun take a look at the articles and give his opinions. There are three ways to do so.
One is that there is someone in the government office who helps deliver it.
The second is to give it to Instructor Deng and ask him to help deliver it.
He ran straight to the yamen and asked the gatekeeper to deliver it.
Of these three methods, the first one has the highest success rate.
The second type was criticized by Instructor Deng before it even reached Lord Sun, so how could he have the courage to submit it again?
The third kind of mood of a gatekeeper is that if you like it, he will give it to you, but if you don’t like it, he will ignore you.
Unexpectedly, candidate Ding took a different approach and found the cook to hand over his essay.
It is said that the chefs are Lord Sun's confidants and their words carry a lot of weight. Lord Sun brought these three chefs all the way to Yuanlu just because their cooking is delicious.
Lord Sun can't leave.
The candidate's eyes lit up again and again, and he secretly memorized this method of delivering essays in his mind, so that he could "accidentally" meet the cook when needed.
The candidates gathered here and there, talking about Sun Shan and the officials.
Because this year's college entrance examination is very special, it is completely different from the previous situations where people just let themselves go.
This time, the government provided sufficient conditions, which greatly reduced their financial burden.
Widow Li is one of the beneficiaries of this incident.
At today's "Imperial Examination Oath-taking Ceremony", her son stood with the students and she stood with the parents. After Sun Shan and his group left, Widow Li immediately ran to her son.
He carefully instructed: "Son, you must do well in the exam this time. Don't let Lord Sun down. It's rare for a good official to come to our Yuanlu County, so you must cherish him. Thank God, thanks to Lord Sun, we will feel much more relaxed when taking the college entrance examination this time."
Widow Li was able to support her son's education because she was good at embroidery.
But as I got older, my eyesight became blurrier, my skills gradually deteriorated, and I earned much less money than before.
My son first passed the examination for a Tongsheng degree, then failed, and then failed again. This was the third time.
Although he did not fail the exam many times, he no longer had the money to support his son to continue pursuing the imperial examination.
Widow Li wanted to shamelessly borrow money and let her son take the exam a few more times.
When they were about to borrow money, the teacher of the school told them that the government had issued a notice that they would be provided with free escort and accommodation for the examination, and later even with food subsidies.
Widow Li and her son couldn't believe it, so they bravely ran to the government office to find out.
The gatekeeper had a very rude attitude and spoke very impatiently, telling them not to come to the yamen whether they had something to do or not, and to go to the county school instead.
They couldn't come and go as they pleased in the yamen.
The yamen runners were always as vicious as dogs, and Widow Li and her son were used to it.
I hurried to the county school, and when I arrived, I found that many people were already there, asking the same question.
The county school told them very clearly that if they wanted free escort and free accommodation, they should first register at their school, and the teacher would then report the names of the students to the county school.
It was also said that all students who participated in this examination would receive a food allowance.
In other words, for this scientific examination, their family only needs to pay the registration fee and the mutual settlement fee.
After confirming it again and again, Widow Li and her son burst into tears of joy.
I spent the rest of my life in anxiety afterwards.
It was not until this moment that I was sure that everything was true.
Widow Li immediately turned into a fan of Sun Shan and said enthusiastically: "Son, Lord Sun is a good official. We, the people of Yuanlu, will be blessed from now on."
Widow Li's son nodded and said, "Mother, I understand. Thanks to Lord Sun, I can successfully take part in the imperial examination this time."
Widow Li lived frugally, worked hard, and earned enough to pay for her son's registration fee and mutual payment fees.
I wanted to borrow it from my neighbors, relatives and friends. Now I don't need it anymore, and I feel relieved.
Widow Li still thought that as long as Lord Sun was an official in Yuanlu, to put it bluntly, her son could take the exam a few more times.
Many parents are like Widow Li, who gives their children many instructions about the exam, but the journey is long and it is difficult for family members to feel at ease.
Sun Dali and Sun Heitan took the list and handed it to Wang Jiaxing.
Sun Heitan sometimes used half-baked Mandarin and sometimes half-baked Yuanlu dialect, and Sun Dali gestured to Wang Jiaxing, "Wang Tongsheng, tell everyone to be quiet and line up. We will count the number of people and then set off."
There are surprisingly few talented people around Sun Shan. Sun Dingnan, who can speak Mandarin, has to manage the experimental base, Gui Ge'er cannot do without Sun Shan, and the legal advisor has even more work to do. As for Manager Wang, his back is still hurting.
There was no other choice but to pick the tallest one among the short ones, and let the "best student" Sun Heitan rush out, follow Sun Dali, and negotiate with Wang Jiaxing.
Thanks to the fact that Wang Jiaxing had been with the Sun family for a long time, he knew what Sun Heitan and Sun Dali were talking about by guessing.
He immediately picked up the list and shouted in a pretentious manner: "Classmates, line up. We are counting the number of people now. It's time to set off."
He then said to the relatives who were seeing him off, "My dear grandparents, your farewells are over now. We are leaving now. This departure is very particular. Lord Sun specially asked someone to calculate the time, and we must not miss it. The time of departure is favorable for our college entrance examination this time, so we must set off on time."
After hearing this, the candidate's relatives and friends who wanted to attend high school immediately jumped away and stayed away, fearing that they would fail the exam because of their delay.
Wang Jiaxing nodded with satisfaction.
Sun Dali and his group of guards counted the number of people, and after everything was ready, the time had come, so they set off immediately.
