They wanted them to teach in the countryside!

Actually, they were not considered very old and were still quite healthy. They were not even in their sixties yet.

However, they were very upright people. They could not stand the fawning and scheming atmosphere in the court. The culture of studying in the Imperial College was strong, but it was not pure. They were not good at this kind of interaction and could not stay anymore, so they resigned and returned home.

!!

Speaking of returning home, they were naturally filled with anger. It could be said they were simply unable to fulfill their ambitions!

Madam Qin originally thought that the two old men were just returning home after finishing their careers. In the end, when she saw the two of them, she knew that this matter was mostly settled.

They were ministers who held important positions in the Imperial Court. At the same time, they had also served in the Imperial College. They were real officials who were dedicated to their studies.

Moreover, it was rare that they were not pedantic. Although they knew the ways of the court, they were very supportive of the new school of thought.

It would naturally be more appropriate for them to become teachers. After all, the people they had taught were all pillars of the country.

However, when they heard that Madam Qin wanted them to be teachers at a school in the village…

Both of them declined.

“Madam, you might not know this, but all these years, we’ve left our hometown and traveled far to the capital. We’ve long wanted to retire and live the remainder of our old lives in our hometown. At this moment, we really don’t have the energy to take on the responsibility of teaching and educating others,” one of them said.

The other person also said sincerely, “Madam, the two of us look strong, but our bodies are actually long empty. That’s why we gritted our teeth and left Wanning City in pain. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to share the burden of the Tian Family and contribute to the Imperial Court? Although the two of us also want to try Madam’s suggestion, our bodies won’t allow—”

Madam Qin did not stop them from continuing. It was not until they finished rejecting that she continued to voice her opinion.

“Of course, this matter also depends on mutual consent. Naturally, we can’t force it.” Madam Qin’s tone changed and she said indifferently, “I thought that the two of you would definitely like that place. It’s said that it’s a quiet place that’s difficult to find in the entire Great Chang. 100 years ago, the famous Ever Victorious General—General Hu—came from that village.

The people in that village are simple and kind. It’s a rare village of unity and joy.

Not long ago, they even discovered a large batch of precious military books. The two of you must have seen them before. Now, they’re all stored in the royal treasury, and many of the compilers are trying their best to repair them.

Perhaps the two of you can find out some old things about General Hu.”

The two adults looked at each other and saw the desire in each other’s eyes.

They were scholars and originally did not have a good impression of those generals, but General Hu from more than 100 years ago was an exception.

That was a general who was really concerned about the matters of the country, and he didn’t fight casually.

There was a reason for every battle. He never bullied the captives. Even after winning, he would not take credit for the victory.

It was said that his transcendent-grade title was specially requested for him by all the civil and military officials in the court.

The two ministers naturally admired the old general very much.

However, their positions prevented them from coming into contact with the legendary military books.

If they went to General Hu’s hometown, would they be able to come into contact with it?

Seeing that their expressions were a little moved, Madam Qin continued, “This is only the tip of the iceberg of that village. I believe the two of you have heard of the snow disaster in Wangbei County last year.

At that time, the entire Wangbei County was filled with sorrow. Only the people from Hu Family Village saved themselves. Not only did they not suffer a huge loss from the snow disaster, but they even used only a year to turn the entire village from a poor village to a prosperous one.”

When the two ministers heard the words “poor village”, their eyes moved.

It was a poor village. Who knew what kind of a dilapidated scene the village was in?

When they heard that they had become villages that had escaped poverty, the shock in the hearts of the two ministers was naturally obvious.
