Chapter 35: The Matter of the Academy

"This is something that is beneficial to future generations, I will definitely support it, and I will make it clear to the villagers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Zheng said, if the village is really like the patriarch said, the little baby is literate, it will also be good for him, Li Zheng, and the government will praise it at that time.

"Well, it is indeed a word that is beneficial to future generations, and our clan may get better and better in the future, and when one or two become big officials, they will be able to glorify their ancestors, and they can also promote the clan, so that our clan can carry forward." The patriarch said.

"I informed the people in the afternoon that they would prepare tables, chairs and benches for the children who wanted to go to school, but where did the books for school come from, and did the people in the village buy them themselves?" Li Zheng asked, if you only need to provide tables and benches, these can be moved at home, if you still want to buy books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, it is estimated that many people are unwilling, after all, most of the people in the village are not rich, and they are all a money that is eager to be broken into several parts.

"Well, this is a question, I haven't thought about it before, why don't you ask Du Yue first and see what she thinks about this?" The patriarch said that the patriarch only thought that he could have a master who was almost free, but he never thought that the villagers would be unwilling or have no money to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and the patriarch felt that he was old, so he would not consider it comprehensively.

"Well, I'll ask her now." Li Zheng said that they all benefit the people in the village, and there are two little grandsons at home who can't be sent to school. So Li Zheng took the initiative to say that he went to find Du Yue. The patriarch is old, and he doesn't have enough energy, so he goes home to rest first, and when Li Zheng brings him news, Li Zheng goes out and goes directly to Liu Tianming's house to find Du Yue.

After Du Yue got the title deed, she was ready to pull out the grass in the field first, so that it would be convenient to build a house. Du Yue was always very excited in her heart, at this time, it was only in the middle of the time, according to the modern time, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, the summer sun was not just a little sunburning, Du Yue ran out to pull weeds, and was not afraid of the sun at this time. Yuan Ping and Du Yue have been together for so long, they are both good sisters, I can't bear Du Yue to pull weeds in the sun alone, with Du Yue, Yuan Qing was also instructed by his father and mother to help together, and now Yuan Qing's brother and sister plus Du Yue are both busy working under the sun. It's not that Uncle Liu and his wife don't want to help, but there is still life in the field and they can't put it down, so Uncle Liu and his wife went to the ground.

Du Yue hummed softly while pulling weeds, always laughing from time to time, it seemed that he was very happy in his heart, he had a share of his own industry in this dynasty, and he really felt integrated into the life of this dynasty, and for more than two months before, Du Yue still had no sense of belonging here.

"Sister Yue, what song are you singing, I've never heard such a beautiful song." Yuan Ping was next to Du Yue, so Du Yue hummed softly, and Yuan Ping heard it.

"Do you want me to teach you?" Du Yueping said with a smile.

"Okay, you teach me to sing." Yuan Ping said. Yuan Qing heard his sister and Du Yue talking, he didn't interject, he listened while pulling weeds, Du Yue taught Yuan Ping's song, he also heard it, I didn't expect Du Yue to sing such a good song, I think Du Yue is really powerful, and can study, cooking is good, and now I can sing, I don't know what will happen in the future, if anyone marries Sister Yue, that is to pick up the treasure, Yuan Qing thought in his heart, but at this time he still didn't have a little idea about Du Yue in his heart, he felt that he was not worthy of such a good Du Yue.

Orthodox Yuan Ping hummed a song, and Li Zheng came over. Seeing Du Yue and a few people, pulling weeds on the grass, he came over.

"Yueniang is busy here, and I have something I want to discuss with you." Li Zheng said directly to Du Yue, and now the people in the village are basically calling Du Yueyue Niang.

"Grandpa Lizheng, what's the matter, tell me." Du Yue stood up and looked at Li Zheng and said.

"Didn't the patriarch talk to you in the morning, that is, about the opening of the school, I thought of a few problems, and I don't know how to solve them, so I want to ask you what you think." Rizheng said.

"What's the problem, tell me about it." Du Yue didn't think about what other problems he needed to deal with by himself, thinking that the patriarch would do all these things well, and then go directly to the post as a master.

"That's the case, it's easy to open the school, but you also know the situation of the people in the village, you definitely can't afford to buy books, and there are pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or something, I'll come over to see if you have any plans here." Li Zheng didn't beat around the bush, and said directly.

"In this way, you see, now it's just teaching literacy, or the book won't be needed for the time being, I'll teach one and let them memorize one, do you think that's okay? I continued to learn later, and if I wanted to learn more, I would buy books, and I would continue to teach. Du Yue pondered for a while and made such a suggestion. In fact, Du Yue felt that she could only teach them to recognize some words at most, if she wrote articles, she would definitely not be able to, she was not very clear about how to write these articles in ancient times.

"It's okay to do this, but if you don't have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, you can't write, so it won't work." Li Zheng felt that Du Yue's suggestion was also good, but it was only half of the solution.

"There is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or at least let them each prepare a pen, and then use the pen dipped in water to write on the table, so that it can be used as a practice of writing, so that it only costs a pen, and the villagers should be easier to accept." Du Yue said, if you are reluctant to buy a pen, then find a branch and write it on the ground, just like the little Zhiji they taught yesterday, but if it is really just like this, it is just a matter of knowing a few words, so Du Yue does not plan to say it like this.

"If that's the case, I guess the villagers will be willing to send their children to study." Li Zheng said, according to Du Yue, it must be that all the children in the village can learn knowledge, and Li Zheng is also happy for this.

"Later, I will gather all the villagers to go to the ancestral hall for a meeting, and tell the people in the village about this good thing, and you will come too." Li Zheng said to Du Yue.

"Okay, I'll go then. Du Yue replied.

"After summoning the villagers, it is estimated that it will not be a few days before they prepare tables and chairs, can you spare time then?" Li Zheng asked, he knew that Du Yue was in a hurry to build a house now, afraid that she would not be able to spare time.

"It's only half a day, and it should be fine." Du Yue said, fortunately, Uncle Liu helped her deal with the house, and there was not much she needed to do.

"Okay, as long as you can arrange it, I will see that the school will officially open in three days, what do you think?" Li Zheng and Du Yue have determined the specific days, and then Du Yue can go directly to teach as long as he is ready for what words he needs to teach every day. After Li Zheng told Du Yue all this, he went directly to the patriarch's house, and after he was going to explain it to the patriarch, he called a meeting with the villagers.
