Chapter 2758 Come to send money
Master Fan smiled and stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I came here to visit when I heard that your lord just took office. When I came here, I knew that the county government had been in disrepair for a long time, and now it is rushing to work. Your lord is the parent official of Jingping County. The ya is the symbol of the county seat. As the people of Jingping County, I am willing to contribute to the repair of the county ya. This is one hundred taels of silver, which is contributed by my Fan family. Please accept it as an adult. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the others behind him also stood up one after another. Some gave a hundred taels, some gave eighty taels, and the lowest was fifty taels. The number is controlled within the range of not too small and not too small, and it is very measured.
Shao Qingyuan looked at the silver in their hands, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Mr. Fan looked down at each other, and when they took out the money, it was actually meant to be a test.
Before Mr. Xu came here to take office, they also came here.
But Master Xu refused righteously at the time, and they knew Master Xu's temperament.
This means that they are not greedy, and they have a better life.
But receiving money is not a bad thing for them. It is easy to do things with money, and the county magistrate collects the money, and will naturally open the door for them in the future.
Master Fan and the others saw that Shao Qingyuan just looked at Yin Zi and did not speak, thinking that this person, unlike Master Xu, would probably accept the money.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Shao Qingyuan say, "Master Hong, take the money."
Director Hong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him in surprise,
But after that, he heard Shao Qingyuan speak again, "Take a notebook and write down how much money each of them gave."
"Sir, this..." Master Fan and others were stunned.
Shao Qingyuan smiled, "I understand everyone's good intentions. However, the cost of repairing the county government office will naturally be paid by this official, and the court will also allocate money, so don't worry about it. I have another matter here, and I am worried. To tell the truth, just before you came, the teaching of the county school just came here, explaining the difficulties of the county school today."
Shao Qingyuan glanced at them and continued, "You must know better than me what Mr. Xu places on the county school. In fact, Mr. Xu is right. Jingping County needs talents. If there are students with good reading talents, if they are buried here. It’s really a pity. If you can cultivate a few talented people, and in the future, you will be promoted to officials in the court, and they will return to their hometowns, build their hometowns, and develop Jingping County better.”
Mr. Fan and others nodded, this is indeed true, who doesn't want a student in his hometown to be a high-ranking official, and the entire county can follow suit in the future.
It’s just that they didn’t agree with Master Xu’s actions.
This is like gambling. Who can be sure that those people will have this ability in the future? And they are still young now, and there are still ten or twenty years before the scientific examination, or even longer, who can afford to wait?
But Shao Qingyuan doesn't care what they think, he just needs to convey his meaning.
"The county school lacked money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and this official just didn't know what to do, so you all sent this fee. This official thinks that it is the most suitable for those students. But this is your credit, This official will tell the beneficiary students about this contribution and register your name in the canon of the county school, so that they will remember it in their hearts, thank you for your help, and if there is something in the future, it will naturally repay you."
