Chapter 8, Qingfu Town (I)
Xiao Nan's house is close to the foot of the mountain, in the upper west corner of the village, Zhu's home is in the east of the village, the two families are four or five hundred meters apart, nearly a mile or so away, Xiao Nan only went to less than half an hour and came back, when he came back, he took out a dozen taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Lin, Lin opened his mouth in shock, and looked at Xiao Nan dumbfounded: "Auntie, do you want to get back the silver that your grandmother took?" ”
"Mother, what do you think, how can you return the money to us with the character of grandma and uncle? If I really force them to return, with their character, I am afraid that they will fight with me endlessly, although our family is separated, but the people in that room are still our elders in name, even if they do something wrong, I can't really do anything to them, right? This money is what I earned today, and today I was lucky enough to hunt a deer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Nan smiled harmlessly.
God knows that this girl said it soundingly, but what she thought in her heart was completely different, if the mother and son of the Zhu family really wanted to die to the end, she didn't mind quietly solving them, this would still be in her arms with the ten taels of silver that she had just taken back from the Zhu family, of course, she didn't completely do things, the Zhu mother and son snatched a total of seventeen taels of silver from their house, Xiao Chengwen was not lightly injured, and the cost of the soup and medicine cost nearly four taels of silver, when Xiao Nan asked them, he left three taels for them to subsidize the family.
"Grandma, you see, how kind and filial your granddaughter is, after learning that my uncle was injured, I immediately took out all the money in the family to treat my uncle, for the sake of the eldest mother, for the sake of such a reasonable and filial piety, presumably grandma, uncle, aunt, aunt, you will no longer watch the gossip in the village spread wantonly?" This is what Xiao Nan said before leaving the Zhu family, while slowly picking up the ten taels of silver and stuffing them into his arms, he smiled at the four Zhu's mothers, sons, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who were curled up together and trembling.
With the appearance of Zhu's mother and son, the rumors about Xiao Nan shooting Xiao Chengwen quickly subsided, this matter was just a trivial matter for Xiao Nan, and she was left behind in a blink of an eye, Xiao Nan finally woke up in a distant era, but not to fight with some irrelevant superlatives, she just wants to manage well to build a leisurely farm that belongs to herself and her family, quietly do a chrysanthemum picking southeast mountain, and leisurely see the happy field of green mountains, oh, not a field housewoman!
After listening to Xiao Nan's explanation, Lin only sighed softly, did not dwell on this topic anymore, and turned to discuss with Xiao Nan about Zi Xiu's schooling, if it was before today, Lin might not discuss this matter with Xiao Nan more, but after experiencing today's events, Lin unconsciously regarded Xiao Nan as the backbone of the family.
There are two alternative channels for children in Sangyu Village to go to school, one is a private school, the other is an official school, Qingfu Town has an official school, according to the comprehensive conditions, the official school is the strongest among all the schools in Qingfu Town, but the Lin family seems to be a little difficult to hide, both want to send Zixiu to the official school, but also a little undecided.
Xiao Nan didn't know what she was struggling with, and after asking a few words, she didn't ask everything, and then she spoke: "Since my mother can't make up her mind, wait for me to go to my grandfather's house tomorrow to ask my grandfather's opinion." In fact, in Xiao Nan's opinion, Zi Xiu is only seven years old, so he is very good in the private school in the village, with her and Lin's level plus Zi Xiu's talent, even if the level of the teacher in the private school in the village is average, she is absolutely sure that Zi Xiu is no worse than any student of the same level in the town.
However, in view of the entanglement of the Lin family, and she was only eleven years old, there were some things that were not suitable to say, so she found a reason and went to the town by the way.
Speaking of this, I have to introduce the current historical background, Xiao Nan has confirmed that the era he is in is the Song Dynasty through the understanding of various books left at home these days, and the current reign is Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, the difference is that this era is quite different from the history she is familiar with, for example, Song Taizong's reign is 23 years, one year more than in history, Zhenzong Zhao Heng was born two years later than in history, and many things that should not appear in this era have appeared.
For example, for example, the scientific and simple refining method of refined salt, the large-scale cultivation and utilization of cotton, the popularization of cotton yarn and alcohol, and the introduction of condiments such as chili peppers, etc., as well as the sixteen states of Yanyun, half of which have now returned to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and all these changes are related to one person, this person is the Hubu Shangshu Jiang Zuolang who is repeatedly mentioned in the book.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the name Jiang Zuolang, more than 90% of this Jiang Zuolang is like himself, he is from the soul of later generations, and this person is probably a fan of Lang Yubang before the future Song Dynasty, and he admires Jiang Zuomeilang very much, so he took such a name, according to the relevant information in the book, this person's current age is about fifty years old, and he entered the dynasty thirty years ago, refined salt production and cotton were planted on a large scale after he entered the dynasty and became an official.
And he himself also took advantage of these two things all the way to the top, the simplification of refined salt refining, the large-scale harvest of cotton, as well as cotton cloth, cotton yarn and other cotton-based products have been launched, as well as the application of alcohol, so that the economy and national strength of the Song Dynasty have made a qualitative leap!
Chunhua four years (AD 992)) Song Taizong borrowed the national strength to rise, once again raised troops to invade Liao, trying to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, a blood Daping Xingguo four years of the Northern Expedition defeated shame, but although the national strength of the Song Dynasty rose sharply, but some essential things want to change but extremely difficult, for example, the outstanding generals can never be completely assured, although this battle Song Taizong has been carefully prepared for a long time, this battle has also been fought for nearly two years. (It was during this time that Xiao Dalang was drafted into the barracks.) )
After Song Taizong finally took the sixteen states of Yanyun to eight states, he was no longer able to advance, coupled with a long period of large-scale battles, the national strength was also a little unsupportable, fortunately, the Song army had no spare strength, and Liao could not bear it either, both sides were unable to fight again, and the war naturally stopped, and finally everyone sat down to negotiate, and the sixteen states of Yanyun each got half.
After the end of the war, Song Taizong did not know whether it was hurt or what happened, in short, in the following years, although he vigorously developed agriculture and military, sharpened troops and horses, but did not launch a war with Liao during his reign, and finally took the unification of the Northern Han Dynasty and the recovery of half of Yanyun's merits, stepped into the imperial tomb.
It has been eight years since Zhenzong ascended the throne, he adhered to his father's will, vigorously developed the national strength, and his performance was much better than in history, but his somewhat cowardly character still did not change in essence, lacking the courage to expand the territory, afraid of war, and kept silent about recovering the other eight states of Yanyun, otherwise, for any strong emperor, with the current national strength of the Song Dynasty, he would definitely not turn a blind eye to the remaining half of Yanyun eight states.
Of course, these major events are the work of the courtiers of today's official family, and have nothing to do with Xiao Nan, she has worked hard for most of her life in her last life, and she has long been physically and mentally exhausted.
After figuring out the background of the times, her heart also settled down, from Zhenzong to Renzong, there are fifty or sixty years of stability and prosperity, under the rule of the prosperous era, as long as ordinary people work hard, they can also have enough food and clothing, just fulfilled her wish, if she really wears into a troubled era that is not precarious to the past, even if she is no longer willing to fight, in order to survive, she has to rise up.
Without further ado, let's get back to business, about the school and private school, the Song Dynasty is similar to the Tang calendar in the establishment of official schools, from the Guozijian to the county school, that is to say, the general situation is only in the county, but the Song Dynasty's investment in education is much greater than that of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the past twenty or thirty years, even more so, not only vigorously encourage the private school to open a private school, but even the official school from the county school into some relatively wealthy towns.
Qingfu Town is a relatively wealthy town under the jurisdiction of Song County, the town has a permanent population of more than 30,000, plus hundreds of villages under its jurisdiction, the entire Qingfu Town has a population of more than 60,000, a rich and populous town, naturally let the government set up an official school here, Qingfu Town in addition to this official school, there are many private schools in countless villages around.
Not to mention anything else, Xiao Nan's Sangyu Village and the surrounding two villages share a private school together, what Xiao Nan has to do now is to go to the official school and the private school to walk around, see their respective atmosphere and the level of the teacher before making plans.
