Chapter 705

The master is a little puzzled, is he free? No, as a master of a city, he is in charge of many things, so he can't be idle at all. The main reason is that this is an adult's task, and you must take good care of this white girl: "Why did Bai girl say that?"

Bai Zhen was a little funny: "I'm just curious. Master has been here with me all the time. I thought you were free. If you have something to do, go ahead. Leave me alone, I can handle these things well."

Saying this, he pointed to the books on that row of bookshelves. The corner of Master's mouth twitched, it's very good, people don't need his help at all: "Since Miss Bai can handle it well, I won't bother you."

Bai Zhen came here this time, and brought her two maidservants, Xia Yu and Xia Xue, and looked at the two of them: "You two also come over, start counting.

After finishing speaking, I also started to get busy, but the more I looked at the data, the more ugly my face became. The so-called official studies added up to only two or three. In such a big Fucheng, there are so few government colleges, and more are schools funded by Xinyue Pavilion.

Bai Zhen's face was a little ugly, and she was still sorting out the materials of these colleges. No wonder the county magistrate said that things here might be troublesome. It's not possible, but really troublesome. Because if you don't pay attention, it may hurt the reputation of the court.

Speaking of it, the people from the Shen family in Xinyue Pavilion are too out of bounds. It was noon in the blink of an eye, and the master Lu Qingfeng found that Bai Zhen and the others were still here, and couldn't help frowning. He still felt that Bai Zhen was a distinguished guest no matter what, so he couldn't be neglected.

"Miss Bai, it's getting late, I wonder if I can invite Miss Bai to lunch?"

Bai Zhen glanced at the sky, and there was a signal of hunger coming from her stomach. She glanced at Xia Yu and Xia Xue, and she was probably hungry, so Bai Zhen nodded: "Thank you, Master Lu, for your concern."

Master Lu just nodded with a smile: "Miss Bai is a distinguished guest, as it should be, follow me."

There is a dining room in the government office for guests. Bai Zhen asked Xia Yu and Xia Xue to eat by themselves, while she followed Master Lu: "Master Lu, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Master Lu was a little puzzled: "I don't know what you want to talk about?"

Neither of them had the habit of keeping their mouths shut, and they talked while eating. Bai Zhen's question was simple: "I just want to ask, why is Fucheng so big, and there are only two government schools? It shouldn't be, you know, schools are very There are only two important things, so is it considered as a dereliction of duty by an adult?"

When Master Lu heard this, he was stunned. This seems to be within the scope of the lord's responsibility. No one has paid attention to this matter before, cough and cough twice: "This, you have to ask an adult to know."

"Miss Bai, can you tell me why you suddenly care about the school? Didn't you come to participate in the construction of the South Island with the county lord?"

Bai Zhen was a little surprised: "Did you misunderstand us? The main purpose of the county lord's visit is not the construction of the South Island, but to pay attention to the affairs of the school. We must pay attention to the matter of government schools. In addition, there are not enough government schools. to be built."

"In addition, there are age groups. Speaking of which, after dinner, you find the map of Fucheng, and I will see how many schools will be built first."

Xiao Man used the money from the national treasury to build a college, which was also divided according to age, and the nine-year compulsory education in his previous life was moved over. Some things must be learned, and then it depends on personal talent, which is not suitable. Those who read are learning other things.

Da Zhou annexed two other countries, and if it wants to develop, it needs talents, so things like schools are indispensable. In addition, the weather in Dazhou has been smooth and rainy for the past few years, and the treasury is full. Now it needs to develop and keep up.

When Master Lu heard this, he understood that the county lord came to build a school, so there must be conflicts with Xinyue Pavilion. The Xinyue Pavilion is in charge of the Shen family, and the adults knew it before, but it is a good thing that there are more schools in the area under the jurisdiction of the adults.

So my lord has always been kind to the people in Xinyue Pavilion, but he never thought that things would fail now: "Can't the schools in Xinyue Pavilion be counted?"

Bai Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Xinyue Pavilion is a private school, do they train people from Dazhou or Shen's family? If the school in Xinyue Pavilion charges fees, then it can be said that there is no other purpose."

"But as far as I know, most of the schools in Xinyue Pavilion are cheap to repair, and they even give money to support talented people. What do you think the Shen family wants to do? To attract talents?"

This crime is a bit serious. Bai Zhen looked at Master Lu frowning, a little funny: "What? Is Master Lu related to the Shen family?"

Cold sweat broke out on Master Lu's forehead, and he didn't speak for a long time. Bai Zhen was really surprised: "So, do you really have a relationship with the Shen family? What's the relationship? If you don't make it clear, I will Suspect, you want to inform the Shen family."

As soon as the words of the tip came out, Master Lu's face changed again and again. What does this person mean: "What does Miss Bai mean by this? Are you planning to attack the Shen family?"

You must know that Bai Zhen is representing the county lord now, and behind the county lord is the entire imperial court. With just one Shen family, how could it be possible to oppose the imperial court.

Bai Zhen snorted disdainfully: "What do you mean? If the Shen family is a legal and good citizen, why should I have nothing to do with the people?"

common people? The Shen family can be regarded as one of the top 100 aristocratic families in the Great Zhou, and it cannot be described as common people at all. In addition, news has been coming from the capital, saying that the emperor now has thoughts about the aristocratic family.

Thinking of this, Master Lu couldn't even eat. Bai Zhen, on the other hand, thought the food was quite delicious, and after eating it with a smile on her face, she stood up.

"I still haven't counted the school. I will continue to count today. You don't need to call me. Go do your own work."

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhen didn't take care of Master Lu, but still sent a bird she raised to follow Master Lu. Sure enough, as she expected, Master Lu was not in the government office at all in the afternoon, but went out to Shen's house.

Master Lu's elder sister married the second son of the Patriarch of the Shen family, the two families are considered in-laws, and Master Lu came to see his brother-in-law Shen Hang today.

The first one I saw was my sister Lu Zhixia: "Qingfeng is here, you haven't come for a long time, why do you have time to come now? Isn't the government busy?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at his sister. He knew that his sister had been living well in the Shen family, so he valued the Shen family very much: "Sister, let someone bring my brother-in-law. I have something to do with my brother-in-law."

Seeing his younger brother's solemn expression, Lu Zhixia knew that this was something serious, and he would find her husband back soon.

Shen Hang looked at Lu Qingfeng, and waved everyone around him to go down: "Brother suddenly came over, what's the matter?"

Lu Qingfeng sighed: "It's about Xinyue Pavilion."

Xinyue Pavilion? Shen Hang frowned in confusion: "The affairs of Xinyue Pavilion have always been taken care of by Yuhuan, why did you think of talking to me? What did Xinyue Pavilion do recently? I do know that Xinyue Pavilion seems to have offended the Princess .”

The corner of Lu Qingfeng's mouth twitched, is there such a thing in it? As a master, Lu Qingfeng began to self-examine why his news was so behind.

"How can you offend the princess? I said, no wonder the county master has been in the South Island since he came. But he suddenly took care of the government and school affairs."

County Lord? Is it the Demon General Yongxi County Lord? Shen Hang also began to get serious: "What's going on?"

Lu Qingfeng came here to deliver news, so naturally he didn't hide anything, and said everything Bai Zhen said: "Brother-in-law, the crime of enticing literati can be big or small, and it depends on the talents funded by the Shen family. Where is it above?"

The Shen family started to build the school because of Shen Yuhuan's voice. Shen Yuhuan was a little unhealthy since she was a child. The Shen family began to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for Shen Yuhuan to grow up successfully.

Choosing to be a school, teaching and educating people has been a very noble thing since ancient times, and there is no other purpose, and no one believes it.

Shen Hang looked at Lu Qingfeng: "Thank you for sending such important news, you can go back first. I'll go to my father, talk about this matter, and see how to solve it?"

Seeing that his brother-in-law had an idea, Lu Qingfeng didn't bother him any more, turned around and went back to the government office. As soon as he entered the government office, a servant came over to invite him.

"Master, Miss Bai invites you to come over."

Lu Qingfeng frowned, why did you invite him over so soon? However, Lu Qingfeng still quickly headed towards the courtyard where Bai Zhen was.

It was only after arriving at the courtyard that Master Liu was there. And Bai Zhen is drinking tea, it seems that the school's materials have been sorted out.

Master Liu's complexion was not very good either. Just after Lu Qingfeng came in, a bird fell from the sky and stood on Bai Zhen's shoulder, chirping.

Bai Zhen looked at Lu Qingfeng with a smile: "Master, do you think this bird looks familiar?"

Lu Qingfeng looked puzzled: "This bird can be found everywhere in Fucheng, so why does it look familiar? What's the matter with Miss Bai looking for it? Does your lord know about it?"

Master Liu didn't know what to say to Lu Qingfeng at this time, but his face was a little disappointed. Bai Zhen looked at Lu Qingfeng with a smile: "Master Lu really doesn't know the situation? My surname is Bai."

Of course he knew that Miss Bai's surname was Bai, but why did he mention it at this time? Suddenly thinking of what he had done just now, the surname Bai and the Beast Master were linked together, looking at the bird, Lu Qingfeng's face turned pale.

Bai Zhen smiled: "Now that I think about it, I will control beasts and let birds follow you. I know everything you say and do. I warned you just now not to report to the Shen family. I didn't expect you to transfer Go to Shen's house by yourself."

"Master Lu, as the master of Fucheng, do you work for the Shen family? If this is the case, I should be suspicious."
