However, after Yinzhen returned to Liuchun Garden, he called the mother and the two. Although it was Shi En, he refused to stay with him for unknown sources. The young woman was a smart person and had thought it through all the way. Although she could not guess the identity of the Fourteenth Master for a while, the person who made the third son of the Xu family kneel down and kowtow when he heard the name was definitely not an ordinary person. Now the mother and the two are floating like duckweed, which is not a big deal. Seeing that the Fourteenth Master is quite close to his children, I don’t think he would have treated the children badly. With this, I have recognized him as a slave and a servant in this life.

As soon as I entered the room, the young woman led the child to kneel down, "The civilian wife, Li, kowtowed to the 14th Master. My mother and I have no choice but to repay my great kindness. We are willing to serve as slaves and maids in this life." [The latest updates are all in the search.]

"Get up and talk." Yinzhen said softly, "What's going on with the Xu family? Let's hear it."

The young woman stood up. Although she was a little reserved, her speech was still organized and she quickly explained the whole story. Her husband was originally a pawnshop run by the Xu family in Shanghai. At the beginning of the year, someone encouraged him to borrow 50 taels from the account room to do sea business with him. Unexpectedly, the ship encountered pirates in Nanyang, and the ship cargo was destroyed and he lost all his money. Mr. Xu San came to settle the account at the end of the year, but the fifty taels he originally owed became 150 taels. His husband was forced to hang himself and died. Mr. Xu San wanted to arrest her mother and pay off the debt.

Yinzhen looked at the young woman carefully. She was only twenty-three or four years old. Although she was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, she could still see some beauty. She thought to herself that the Xu family was afraid that she was attracted to her beauty. It was a scam to do business together. However, now she is dead and has no evidence. She couldn't help but sigh in secret. "No one can be a servant. Let's help you first. Give you a monthly rate of one or two. This child is quite clever. Have you entered school?"

Tian Li was shocked by Yinzhen's words. He wanted to be a slave, but he was not qualified. He was a monthly routine of only one or two. What kind of family is this? Seeing his mother being stunned, the child said cleverly: "I haven't attended a private school, but my father taught me a few words."

Seeing that the child was not only bold but also clever, Yinzhen was very happy and smiled and said, "Yeah, it's not bad. I'll study hard first, and then work hard for me when I grow up." As he said that, he turned his head to Haifeng and said, "We haven't opened a school yet. Let's find him a good private school first, so don't delay the child."

Only then did Tian Li realize that he had met a noble man, so he pulled the child up and kowtowed, but couldn't speak.

Xu Shizhen, the magistrate of Shanghai, is 32 years old. He is a Han nationality and a Jinshi of the 44th Yiyou degree in Kangxi. Since Yinzhen lived in Liuchun Garden, Xu Shizhen would come to report on the demolition and land acquisition every morning. He knew very well that this opportunity is once a year. If he could be appreciated by the Fourteenth Master, he would have to work hard for at least twenty years less. Therefore, he worked diligently every day, and did everything he had to do with all his duties, and did not dare to slack off.

On this day, after he reported it as usual, Yinzhen kept him and said with a smile, "Jiangnan has always been a place of cultural heritage. What celebrities have been in Shanghai?"

Xu Shizhen did his homework very steadily. He heard this and said: "There are only Xu Guangqi in Shanghai County, the Minister of Rites of the previous dynasty and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. He has written works such as "Six Lecture Notes on Mao Shi", "Origins of Geometry", "Measuring Methods", "Sweet Potato Spray", "Pythagorean Meaning", "Taixi Water Method", "Square Square Arithmetic", "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". If all counties around Shanghai are included, there will be Xu Jie, Chen Zilong from Huating, Dong Qichang from Songjiang and others."

Xu Guangqi is from Shanghai? This is a great man. Without waiting for Xu Shizhen to continue introducing him one by one, Yinzhen asked: "Are Xu Guangqi's descendants still in Shanghai now?"

"Xu Guangqi has five grandsons, which have been growing around in the past hundred years, but there is still a group that resides in the south corner of Shanghai."

"Oh, you go and change your casual clothes, let's go and visit." Yinzhen said excitedly.

The Xu clan leader was very cold about Yinzhen and Xu Shizhen's visit. Even though Xu Shizhen pointed out Yinzhen's identity, the old man in his sixties was still indifferent, but he refused to be careless in terms of etiquette. Yinzhen was embarrassed for a long time and suddenly thought of an entry point, "Old Xu is a Catholic. Recently, Yinzhen had already requested the emperor to allow missionaries to stay in Shanghai. If there was no accident, Shanghai would soon become the second port in the Qing Dynasty to allow missionaries to stay in Shanghai after Guangzhou."

Hearing this sentence, Old Xu's eyes lit up. Although there were rumors in the market, the weight was very different from Yinzhen's mouth. He stood up tremblingly and wanted to kneel down. "Caomin has been beating all the Catholics in Shanghai on behalf of Xie Beile. If this day really happens, Caomin will be in jealous."

Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped him, "Captain Xu doesn't have to be too polite. The arrival of Western missionaries not only brings the gospel of God to you Catholics, but also brings advanced Western civilization to our Qing Dynasty. We should not be self-confidence. We should take the demeanor of embracing all rivers to absorb advanced Western culture."

Mr. Xu praised lightly, "Mr. Beile's broad mind and grand manners are the blessing of the people of Shanghai."

Seeing that Mr. Xu's attitude faded again, Yinzhen felt angry, but smiled and said, "Now the emperor is establishing an agricultural college in Jiangning. He wants to cultivate a large number of agricultural talents to benefit the people. Mr. Xu is a famous agricultural scholar in China. Yinzhen hopes that the descendants of the Xu family can inherit their will and continue to contribute to our Chinese agriculture. I wonder if Mr. Xu recommends one or two children to teach?"

This sentence scared Mr. Xu and sweated coldly on his back. He sighed calmly, "This is a grand event that benefits the country and the people. Unfortunately, no one of the Xu family's children is sure to study agronomy, and they are really willing but powerless."

Yinzhen continued quietly, "Overseas trade is beneficial to the country and the people, but it also breeds countless pirates to turmoil the coast. Yinzhen is now in Shanghai to build an ocean-going fleet, hoping to protect the sea trade and protect the country and the people. I wonder if the Xu family has children who study mathematics, firearms and other aspects?"

Seeing Yinzhen open his mouth to benefit the people and keep safe in the country and the people, he kept pressing step by step, Mr. Xu couldn't help but panic and wanted to shirk away again.

I was afraid that he would ask if any of his children would read in the next sentence. After hesitating, he nodded slowly, "There is a talent who is obsessed with firearms, but he is not a child of the Xu family. Master Beile is eager to seek talent. Caoren is willing to write a letter and recommend him to come. How about?"

"It's so good, I don't know where it is? Do you need Yinzhen to send a car to greet him?" Although he was very enthusiastic about it, Yinzhen was extremely disappointed, but he was not willing to express himself. He thought to himself, no matter whether he is good or bad, he should take his posture to be a rich man to buy a horse bone.
