time to go.

Jiang Jiuniang nodded and shouted to the back as she walked forward: "Dog, let's go!"

"Coming, coming!"

The dog responded and ran out panting.

He wanted to bring something to his mother, so he kept packing.

Jiang Jiuniang got into the car first, and the dog followed her. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Miao Lanlan running over carrying large and small bags of things.

“Sister Jiang, wait a minute!”

Miao Lanlan caught up with her and didn’t even bother to talk to Jiang Jiuniang, so she stuffed her belongings into the car. Inside, he waited until everything was stuffed before he said: "These are some things that my mother and I prepared for you. Although they are not worth much, they are definitely useful. Sister Jiang, please look through them when you are free. By the way. , this bag is all for food, try to finish it as much as possible, otherwise it will go bad!"

"Thank you so much to you and Aunt Miao."

Jiang Jiuniang didn't Say no, just say thank you sincerely.

"This is what we should do, Sister Jiang, Brother Jiang, I wish you a safe journey!"

Miao Lanlan took a step back to make way for the carriage.

Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand and said: "I have already asked someone to take the recipe you gave me and start preparing it. From now on, someone will give you dividends every year, even if your family has to move. , also go to my shop and leave a new address in case my people can't find you."

Before this, they had already agreed on the proportion of dividends, Miao Lanlan San, Jiang Jiu Niang Qi .

Originally Jiang Jiuniang wanted to split the money equally, but Miao Lanlan refused to take it no matter what, so she could only divide it 30-70.

"Okay."

Miao Lanlan smiled and nodded, feeling that she was lucky enough to meet Jiang Jiuniang.

After saying that, the carriage slowly set off. This time they did not leave in the middle of the night, but set out during the day, so they did not have to avoid people's eyes.

Considering that you have to inquire about the treasure along the way, if you fly directly to the place, you will lose many opportunities to inquire about the information.

The carriage was bumpy. In order to make Jiang Jiu Niang more comfortable, layers and layers of quilts were placed in the carriage. They were so soft that she didn’t feel the bumps at all.

When Jiang Jiuniang was drowsy, Gou'er came up to her and said, "Mom, I feel like I have learned something again."

"Tell me what you want. Listen."

Jiang Jiu Niang closed her eyes, and her voice was filled with laziness.

Gouer cleared his throat and began to summarize his time in Qianzhou City.

“Before our mine started recruiting workers, I thought it was not difficult at all. After all, there were so many idle people, and our mine simply couldn’t hire so many people. But in fact, no one came. I was puzzled by this, so I asked a few people, and they all said that I could survive lying down at home anyway, so who would want to go out and suffer? It’s windy and sunny outside, how can I be comfortable lying down at home?”

　“For this reason, I discovered that if people are always idle and do nothing, they will become more and more lazy. They feel that they are getting by and have no pursuit for the future. They do not want to change the current situation and do not want to earn money for the family. An honor that changes the family."

"First of all, it's because they have lived in such an environment since they were young. They have been influenced by one generation after another, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it. Anyway, they really can't live. If they go down to sell their sons and daughters, there is always a solution; secondly, they have not read books, and they don’t know what the use of reading is, and they have never thought about changing their destiny by reading. This is the most serious, I found in Qianzhou Although there are many rich people in the city, they don't seem to attach much importance to studying. There are not many schools in the city, let alone academies. If things go on like this, the problems in Qianzhou City will only become more and more serious. They will not be solved overnight. It can be solved."

Jiang Jiuniang felt very proud when she heard this. She used to ask Gou'er for the answer, but now she knows how to take the initiative to say it.

He began to become attentive, able to discover problems, and also thought of solutions to problems. His growth was not just a little bit.

"Although there is a long way to go, mother still wants to hear how you will solve these problems."

She opened her eyes and looked at the dog with a smile. Son.

This time Gou'er had indeed thought of a countermeasure and said: "First of all, the common people are still not very aware, so we need to do more publicity on this point to let the idea that reading can change their destiny If it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, both the poor and the rich will pay attention to it. We can first let the rich pay attention to it, and then let the rich drive the poor, so the effect will be better. Secondly, we can let the government cooperate with the rich and give the rich some benefits, and then ask the rich to fund the education of the poor's children, because the biggest problem for the poor is that they have no money, and it is a problem to survive, let alone study; finally, Qianzhou City needs a good official who truly serves the people. , otherwise none of this will be realistic."

At this point, the dog sighed, looking a little heavy.

Jiang Jiuniang couldn’t help but find it a little funny when she saw that he was so young yet so old-fashioned, and asked, “Why are you so sad? Just say whatever you want.”

"Mom..."

The dog did not answer immediately, but came over and sat on Jiang Jiu NiangAt his feet, his head rested on Jiang Jiuniang's lap, and then he continued: "My dream has always been to be a military general, to be a hero like my father, to kill enemies on the battlefield and protect my family and country. But after I came out, After seeing how the people live, I want to be a civil servant and do a lot of things for the people so that they can live a good life. I am a little confused and don’t know what to choose."

Although he studied both civil and military arts since he was a child, he only wanted to read more military books and learn more military techniques so that he could compete with the enemy on the battlefield in the future. He never thought about becoming a civil servant.

After all, he had always felt that civil servants seemed to have nothing to do. They would spend all day in the court watching his family's life, and they would talk about trivial matters for a long time, which were all sour. Chicken pinkeye.

But now he understands that civilian officials can actually do no less than military attachés, or even more.

The military attaches guard the borders and prevent foreign enemies from invading, while the civilian officials are responsible for managing the people in the country to live and work in peace and contentment, and make their lives better.

Civil and military officers actually complement each other.

Looking at his tangled look, Jiang Jiuniang said: "What's so confusing about this? No one said you have to choose one or the other. You can choose both."

"Huh?"

The dog looked up at her in surprise. Was he too dumb?

"Son, remember, as long as you work hard enough and are good enough, nothing is impossible. It all depends on human effort. When the country is invaded by foreign enemies, if you can go to the battlefield with a spear to kill the enemy, the country will be stable. When the time comes, you can pick up your pen and create a good living environment for the people you protect, so that they have something to do, study, and make money. Of course, you will be very tired in this way, and you will dedicate everything you have to this country. , I rarely have time to truly belong to myself.”
