Grandpa Zhang and Qiao Lan were chatting in the courtyard, and they were still asking her about some practical difficulties in the farmer's schooling, and knowing more about it would help him consider the school comprehensively. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There is also a very important problem, that is, the children's food, you see that my family Qingyuan is eating and living in the store, the accommodation must be solved, and the children's meals must also be solved, these two things can stump many people, and they can't afford to pay for it, don't let the children go, the opportunity is rare, not to mention the other expenses of supporting a student. ”

Qiao Lan spread her hands, and finally said: "You see, these things have already stumped more than half of the farmers like a mountain. And even if you solve these problems, there are still many girls who will not go, because parents will never invest money in a girl, they always think that girls are married, and there is no need to waste money like this, which is stupid. I also spent a lot of money to learn to read, paper, pen and ink ingots to buy, although my grandmother can read, but these are also the money squeezed out of the teeth, before the village people thought that my father and mother were stupid, and the money did not let my eldest brother go to study for a few more years, but it cost me to make, it was simply a brain problem. Money is easy to make, but you don't want to change their minds in a day. ”

Grandpa Zhang nodded after being silent, most of the educated people are from large families or with better family conditions will allow girls to read and write, even so, many of the daughters of officials and masters are not literate, and they still stubbornly think that women are not talented is virtue, and it is not good to learn too much.

"I know, women's colleges are even more difficult, at present, we can only solve the problem of men's schooling, as for women's colleges, there are some in the capital, but they are all from rich and noble families, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed without the drive of interests. ”

Grandpa Zhang also commented helplessly, at present, he can only take care of the things in front of him, let most people recognize the words first, and then say, the woman's affairs are more complicated, and it is not within his ability to do it at present.

A large part of the reason for the success of the women's college in the capital is that there are several mothers who have been favored and appreciated by the emperor, which can be regarded as a kind of recognition, and they have a future after studying in our college, otherwise their parents may not let them go.

"That's all there is to it. Qiao Lan also knew that it was impossible to change the current situation, and it was already a merit to let the boy study, and it was not too ambitious.

"I remember everything you said, and I'll think about it when I go back. ”

"Cheng, I believe that grandpa will be able to do it. Qiao Lan first buttoned the old man a high hat.

"You bad girl. Grandpa Zhang nodded her hand and couldn't help laughing.

Qiao Lan showed a sly evil smile, and hoped that if Li Xiangye could also participate in this matter, the probability of success would be half the chance.

It's just an idea at the moment, and it won't take a day to get it to work.

Qiao Lan stayed at her mother's house for two days, and saw that her grandparents, parents, and parents were in good health, and her sister-in-law's shop was also booming, and her business profits were very stable, so there was nothing to worry about.

I went to the house to take a look, the furniture is very beautiful, especially the shelf bed is particularly good-looking, and it is particularly tasteful when it is arranged a little, which is Qiaolan's favorite.

Because he doesn't live in it for the time being, he is not in a hurry to clean it up, but it is just ventilated. But I'm going to go back and have time to get some small things like bed girves and window screens to make them.

Chuanhu finished his work on the hillside and came to pick her up.

"Huzi is here, have you eaten?" Mother Li greeted with a smile on her face.

"After eating my mother, I'll pick up Lanzi and go back. ”

"Okay, then you go back, there's something to do in the afternoon." ”

"Well, I'm going to go to the city with the county magistrate in the afternoon, and I'm in a bit of a hurry. Chuanhu smiled and nodded.

"Oh, do you want to go see that land?" Qiao Lan asked, stretching out her head.

"Well, I'm going to take a look, if it's good to buy a piece, this time I'll buy it next to our farm. ”

"Oh, then I'll pack up my things and we'll go back. Qiao Lan picked it up.

"Daddy, let's go, we don't eat, we have something to do in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

"Do you want to buy land?" asked Qiao Lan, sitting in the carriage.

"He didn't buy Mrs. Li, it means cooperating with us, and it is not suitable for him to buy it. Chuanhu said with a smile.

"Oh, that's too. ”

Qiao Lan nodded suddenly, understanding.

"Mrs. Li invites you to be a guest at home, you can say whatever you want. ”

"Oh, yes. Qiao Lan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"What are you playing at home, I see what you and Grandpa Zhang are talking about. Chuanhu was curious about what the two of them were talking about, and they were so excited.

"My aunt inadvertently reminded Grandpa Zhang that he was going to find someone to build a school together, so that the children of Cun Li could go to school for free, and most people couldn't afford it. We are discussing the feasibility of this, and there are some practical difficulties and problems, Grandpa Zhang plans to get it with Li Xiangye, he will first get a charter, and then go to Li Xiangye to discuss it to see if this can be done. Qiao Lan briefly explained why.

"Oh, that's a good thing, how many people will be benefited by this, even if you don't take the imperial examination, it's a good thing to be able to recognize a word. Chuanhu nodded vigorously and thought it was a good thing.

"Yes, I said the same thing, but Grandpa Zhang didn't let me tell others, how to get this thing has to have a specific charter, and I can't go around the county magistrate, so I still have to discuss it, and it's not beautiful to be disappointed too early. Qiao Lan said seriously.

"That's natural, it's better not to say it so early. If we can do it, we will be as prosperous as the city in the future, and we will have a wharf. "Chuanhu's brain spins fast.

"Yes, it's up to us to see if we can do it. If we stand up, we can drive a lot of people. At least you see if you have a place to live, there will be more food, and there will be all kinds of other things, so naturally there will be people looking to gather, but what I'm worried about now is the master's business, we are a small county town, and the place is not big, can there be a master who is willing to come here to do it?"

"That's not necessarily, if you do a good job, you will definitely be willing to come, you see that the academy in the city was not too big at the beginning, but then it got better and better, and there were many talented scholars, and the masters from other places also came to teach, isn't this slowly rising." Chuanhu thinks it's still feasible.

"Well, I hope so. ”

After a while, when I got home, Qiao Lan picked up and changed her homely clothes, Sister-in-law Xu had already cooked the meal, and Chuanhu said: "I won't eat, I'll bring some food and take the county magistrate and leave, otherwise I won't have time to come back at night." ”

"Okay, you go and bring the food. ”

"Well, I brought it, and I brought my sister-in-law, a roast duck and a pound of beef. ”

"Slow down on the road. ”

"Got it, I'll be back in the evening, leave me a door. Chuanhu waved his hand and drove the carriage away.
