Chapter 91

The outbreak of gambling also reflects that the current management of Taoyuan Village still has zài loopholes, otherwise things like the Daifuku family who have to leave the village not because of something unbearable would not have happened.

This world pays the most attention to the family roots, except in extreme cases, it is unwilling to leave the race. Otherwise, it will be like a rootless wanderer, trampled on.

And this time, it's just that Daifuku's son did something wrong, and he has always clearly stipulated that he can't do it, and he was punished a little. The Daifuku family dared to leave with such confidence, in addition to relying on it, but also because of the sudden abundance, everyone was fluttering, and they couldn't find the north for a while.

They only saw the money in their hands and forgot about anything else, and even felt that the cumbersome rules in the village had become a constraint, and they wanted to run away quickly.

Although the rules of Taoyuan Village are quite perfect, there are also many loopholes, especially under the rapid development, some details are not able to keep up. Therefore, Chang Xile plans to work with Li Zheng and the clan elders to improve the village rules.

Chang Xile planned to combine the family rules of the first Zheng family in Jiangnan from the history of his previous life on the basis of the original village rules, the Zheng family is a century-old family, the family rules are strict, and more than 170 officials are very honest and have no corruption*. For a family to stand for hundreds of years, its family rules must have their science.

The Zheng family has a rule that as long as they are still in the prime of life, those who are not sick or paralyzed must do their part to work, and they must not be served, and they must not be indulged in hard work.

This is also what Taoyuan Village wants to implement, only by participating in labor, creating zào value, and knowing the hard work of labor, can we not make the spirit empty, and we will not despise the labor of others.

In addition, various interest groups are set up in the village to enrich everyone's entertainment life. After all, Taoyuan Village is different from the situation where people have been running for a livelihood in the past, and when people's food and clothing are solved, they will begin to seek spiritual satisfaction. If it is lacking, it is likely to go to prostitution and gambling.

So he plans to set up a folk band, a dance team, and so on, just like the dragon and lion dance team before him.

It is also necessary to create a place in the wasteland as a place for sports, so that everyone can bow, dance, and so on.

Every year, the village sports meeting will be held, and activities such as garden parties and hundred family banquets will be held. Let everyone gather together in their free time, dance and dance, and enrich their ordinary life.

The most important thing is that not only children, but also adults should start to receive education, start to read and write, and carry out all-round literacy activities.

In the past, because the problem of food and clothing had not been solved, and there were not enough teachers, so we had to start with the children first. But now that the first batch of children have learned, although most of them are afraid that they will not be able to understand guò when they participate in the scientific examination, it is still not a problem to teach everyone to read and write.

And these are all linked to specific benefits, even if people don't understand why they need to read and write, they will actively participate in this.

In order to make everyone more interested in learning, Chang Xile compiled the teaching materials more closely and combined them with the things around him to teach. Anyway, his request is only to eradicate illiteracy, not to let everyone do scientific research.

Everyone didn't expect that gambling would be such a trend as soon as it happened. However, everyone has blindly followed the decision made by Chang Xile, and although they can't understand it, they also follow it. In this way, it is a group of people who thought that farming was already the most bitter thing in the world, but they didn't expect to read and write even more.

Many people wailed that they would rather plant ten acres of land than go to a class.

Now all the children in Taoyuan Village must go to school from the age of six, and many children in the family have been in school for a few years. Everyone knows that reading is good, so they are very strict with their children on weekdays, and now it's their turn, they can't learn too badly, otherwise how to teach children in the future? How do I get my child to obey his own tube?

So although it was painful, many people were also gritting their teeth and studying hard.

Chang Xile also asked Chang Xisheng to find more books outside, all kinds of books, especially agricultural books, travelogues, historical books, etc., he removed some books with incorrect views, and then stored them in the newly established reading room. As long as you are a villager in Taoyuan Village, you can go in and study.

There is also a free paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and if anyone can copy the book and copy it well, they can also get a reward. If you can write down your feelings after reading the book, as long as you don't obviously make up the number of words, you can have points for each article, and the number of points depends on the quality, and the person with the highest score every month can also be rewarded.

Usually, there will be various learning competitions to stimulate everyone's interest in learning, and the winners can get corresponding rewards.

Chang Xile has also set up a lot of awards, most of which are based on small families, that is, parents and children as a unit, as long as the whole small family does well. In addition to material rewards, mobile red flags are also issued. Including the most diligent award, the best award, the collective progress award, etc., to add a sense of honor.

The reason why small families are the main ones is that everyone urges each other, and whoever dares to drag their feet has no status at home. Let everyone be in this atmosphere, embarrassed not to learn.

And among them, the highest reward is the award for the big family, and Chang Xile was very cheesy and wanted to be rewarded with material rewards and small pennants, but the elders of the Zhenghe clan strongly requested to be rewarded with Chang Xile's hand-copied books. Chang Xile was very weak at that time, what did it mean to ask him to copy the book by hand, it was more empty than the small pennant, the small pennant could be placed at the door, looking conspicuous and joyful.

Taoyuan Village's small brocade flag is made very carefully, and it is embroidered by Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng to find the best embroidery girl in the house. Although the days in Taoyuan Village are getting better and better, the women have also begun to have time to learn embroidery, and their clothes and handkerchiefs are much more exquisite than before. But in the end, it has just emerged, and this thing is full of skills, not a one-time effort, so it is far inferior to those professional embroiderers in the house.

Therefore, it is rare for everyone to see this exquisite pennant, which is also embroidered with lifelike flowers, peacocks, etc. Even without this glory, this beautiful pennant alone makes people want to get it.

Keli Zheng and the clan elders insisted on using this as a prize, and it only needed to be the same, saying that it was too much and too expensive.

Chang Xile knew that he was a little deified now, but seeing that the other rewards were very rich, and the highest award was actually his own hand-copied book, he was inevitably unsure.

In the end, after thinking about it, I gave full play to my memory, and tried to write some of the stories I had seen in my previous life. At first, he just wrote simple stories, after all, no matter how familiar he was, he couldn't write them down word by word, and he had to make them up and describe them with appropriate words and sentences.

And the little story is a bit short, and he thinks that the hand-copied book can't be just a few pages. It's miserable enough without material rewards, and a book is still so thin and pitiful, so he racked his brains to write the story of the three views that is still in line with the situation here and can be understood by everyone.

Fortunately, this kind of reward is only one a year, and if it is also once a month like some rewards, he will really go bald.

These stories are very popular with everyone, and the people of Taoyuan Village will be able to get Chang Xile's hand-copied books as the greatest glory, which is a blessing! I didn't expect such an interesting story to be written in it. Don't say that Taoyuan Village, even in the city, the stories can't be as rich as in later generations, so I'm particularly interested in these.

These stories are all fresh, and no one has ever heard them, so after reading them, they take them out and talk about them. Originally, everyone was very curious about what was written in the hand-copied book, but when they found that there were stories to hear, they were all envious. Forget it, the award-winning family is still a disgusting person, but I don't give you a breath to finish, just say a little bit a day, and sell the story behind Guanzi to be more exciting, which makes people scratch their hearts and lungs.

But I don't have it, it's just stuffy.

In this way, this handicraft is more popular, and everyone wants to work hard to get it.

And the people who get Chang Xile to write the books by themselves have to work hard to understand the words above. Although Chang Xile writes quite easy to understand, it is not a vernacular, if the literary skills are not enough, it is half-understood, especially some allusions will be extended in it, if you don't check it, you will see it confused, which also prompts the family to learn more things.

The comprehensive factors make the learning atmosphere in Taoyuan Village stronger. Reading and learning is always endless, so that everyone has something to do, and they will not be afraid of being empty and bored to do something they shouldn't do.

And Chang Xile wrote and wrote about his feelings, and he also silently wrote out the Journey to the West that he had read dozens of times. Although because I can't remember it completely, the literary value is definitely not as good as the original work, but at least the story is clear, and the classic bridges are basically the same.

Journey to the West has a lot of words, so he didn't put the whole story on one reward, but divided it into ten books, which is enough for him to send it for ten years......

This story is suitable for all ages, and everyone loved it as soon as it appeared. But it's just such a book, and the family that can get the reward won't let others touch it at all, and they will tell a small story to everyone every day, and when they say it, they always have to add a sentence that is more wonderful in the book, and they all change their flavor when they say it.

This makes the manuscript written by Chang Xile so popular that it is almost equivalent to the preservation of heirlooms. And it is also because of such encouragement, coupled with such a large village, there are always a few people who are bright and good at reading, and later there are really a few talents, not only to gain fame in the examination, but also to become officials in the court.

But these are all later, and now because of Daifuku's departure, he was in charge of many things before, and now they have to be reintegrated. Since he has left Taoyuan Village, the property belonging to Taoyuan Village under his hands cannot be taken away, so it needs to be redistributed.

The fixed assets are not enough, although they are unwilling to be punished because they violated the village rules, but after all, they have not done anything that directly harms the interests of Taoyuan Village, so Taoyuan Village will pay to buy their inherent assets, and the price is according to the market price, which is fair.

This part of the money is out of the public middle, so the fixed assets are also owned by the public high, and the income obtained in the future is included in the public middle school.

Now Taoyuan Village has a relatively complete medical and pension system, and the expenses are all paid by the public, which can be said to be taken from the people and used by the people.

Chang Xile has no opinion on this, although the clan power king of this world can be above the law, so it is not uncommon for some villagers to violate the village rules and be directly blown away, and the property cannot be taken away. Moreover, it is often difficult to seek justice if this situation is sued to the yamen, unless you are powerful enough. In fact, they can do the same, and they can also kill the prestige of the Daifuku family.

The reason why he agrees with most of the reasons is to ensure the normal development of Taoyuan Village, and now he knows that the elders of the Li Zheng clan are fair, so he is very relieved of what they are doing. But who knows what a group of people will look like after a hundred years, if the system is not formulated well, it is likely to affect the future.

In the future, if there are filthy people who deliberately blow the villagers away for one reason or another under the pretext of the rules, it will be chaotic at that time.

In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, some rules still need to be established. They are not bandits, and they will not deprive others of their legal property at every turn. But the various benefits of Taoyuan Village, the Daifuku family will definitely not be eligible to enjoy. These may seem like nothing, but if they are really calculated, they are not necessarily less than those fixed assets.

The trouble with Daifuku's departure is that he has to find someone to replace the matter at hand, and I have to say that Daifuku is a talent, and he really can't find the right person for a while. But now Chang Xisheng can already deal with such a thing, and if one person can't deal with it, there will be a few more people.

Chang Xisheng has not been stingy with his apprentices, although now a few are not as good as Daifuku, but they have their own specialties, as long as they are in charge of each part according to their strengths. It's just that it's inevitable to be in a hurry at first, but after a long time, I can always adapt. Chang Xisheng was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and when the people under his hands could take over, Chang Xisheng lost a lot of weight.

However, because of this, he learned a lesson, you can't give too much power to a person, and you have to actively train new people. You can't let some people feel that they are unique, they have to be, and then rely on that to run rampant.

Soon after the literacy campaign began, Song Bangcheng was about to leave Taoyuan Village and rush to the capital to prepare for the exam. Because they don't know the future yet, and the consumption in the capital is too high, their parents, wives and children still stay in Taoyuan Village.

With the help of Taoyuan Village people, Song Bangcheng has no worries.

The past few years have really made Song Bangcheng a little reluctant, especially now that his children have a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses around his knees, it has worn out his fighting spirit a little. This is also the reason why he wants to leave this comfortable environment, he still has to realize his ambitions, but if he stays in such an environment again, he is afraid that he will slack off in his struggle.

"My parents, wife and children will entrust you, you will take care of them," Song Wancheng said sincerely, and bowed deeply to Chang Xile with both hands.

Chang Xile turned sideways and helped him up, "You and I are brothers, why should you be so polite, you don't have to worry, I will take care of my uncles and aunts, sisters-in-law and nephews." ”

Song Bangcheng naturally believed that Chang Xile would take care of his family, "I can rest assured that I have you, I will be crowned by the Toad Palace this time and return with glory." When the time comes, I will definitely celebrate with my brother! ”

Song Bangcheng is rarely so flamboyant, and he is quite modest and introverted on weekdays, which shows that he is very confident in this scientific expedition.

"No matter what the result is, you and I are brothers, as long as you return, you will have good wine and good food to greet you."

Although Chang Xile also wanted to follow his words to cheer him up, but just in case, he still had to leave a way back. The matter of the imperial examination is also unpredictable, and the result of the original nine out of ten things went wrong, and this kind of thing has never been less in every exam.

Song Bangcheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, said a few more words to his family, and then got on the boat and left.

It's been a few years since I said goodbye.

Although Chang Xile was a little embarrassed, he didn't feel anything, Song Bangcheng has never been a person who will always nest in a small village, if this is the case, Chang Xile has to sigh and waste talents. As long as the other party can live well, even if they don't see each other, they won't regret it. He had long expected such a day, and although he was a little lost for a while, he would soon recover.

Chang Xile and Chang Yu returned to the commercial street and met an old acquaintance. Seeing the woman in front of her who had already tied the woman's hair in a bun, the memory of the original body came flooding back, and Chang Xile was slightly stunned, but it was only for a moment and it quickly recovered.

The person who came was his ex-fiancée, Qian Xuerou.

Qian Xuerou half-squatted and saluted, "The two old men are fine." ”

Qian Xuerou's posture was obviously deliberately to wait for him, and he couldn't ignore it if he wanted to.

"Miss Qian."

Qian Xuerou smiled slightly, "I was married to a woman before, so I don't deserve this title." ”

Although Qian Xuerou now looks older than her actual age, she is very neatly cleaned up, although she is just an ordinary woman, she can also see the difference.

In the end, he was carefully nursed by the Qian family, even if he experienced ups and downs, he still had everyone's beautiful demeanor, and his face was good. It is the most gorgeous years, which were originally in full bloom, but because of the vicissitudes of the eyes, it is also because it is more attractive.

Although Chang Xile didn't pay much attention to it since the decline of the Qian family, if he wasn't worried about the other party's demon, he wouldn't even bother to look at it. The Qian family has today, and he also plays a role in fueling the troubles. If it weren't for the fact that he joined forces with the Shen family before, and kept the Qian family living in Taoyuan County less and less, the Qian family might not have been so defeated.

Their foundation is in Taoyuan County, and it is still possible to stand up. But with Chang Xile, the Qian family is completely unable to make a comeback.

The Qian family is to blame for such a result, if they had been doing business normally, Chang Xile would not have suppressed it so much.

It's just that Qian Xuerou is a miserable person, she was sent out for unknown reasons before, and when she was brought back, she was often happy and didn't accept it, and it didn't take long for Qian Jin to marry her to a bad old man who buried half of her body in the soil.

Although Chang Xile didn't deliberately inquire, it was really a big deal, and everyone was amazed that Qian Xuerou was a miserable person, if the Qian family didn't do it so desperately at the beginning, now she is Mrs. Juzi.

Now he can only marry a bad old man who has just some money, and his family background doesn't even have half of the Qian family's ability in the past. Where do you want Chang Xile to be young and promising now, not only is he a lifter, just look at what he did in Taoyuan Village, you know how capable he is. Although there is a scar on his face, it is not so scary to look at now, at least it is much better than the bad old man.

A good girl was trampled on so badly, and no one spurned the Qian family for being too unconscionable, and even her own daughter was pitted. But the Qian family not only did not reflect on it, but also blamed Chang Xile for this, saying that if he didn't want to marry, where would his daughter fall to such a point.

But no one listens to this kind of words, who doesn't know that when Qian Jingou looked down on people, he really thought that Chang Xile hurt his face, and now he has suffered retribution.

It's just that I pity such a beautiful and good-natured girl, and it's not good to be born in such a family.

Chang Xile could probably guess why Qian Xuerou was here, a while ago he heard that the bad old man had passed away, and he was blasted out of the house by the old man's children as soon as he died. The Qian family took Qian Xuerou back again, and it is said that the two families had a quarrel.

The sons and daughters over there are powerful, but even if the Qian family loses now, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it ends up winning part of the property.

Recently, I heard that Qian Jin was looking for a new husband for Qian Xuerou again. In fact, according to Qian Xuerou's conditions, even if it is a second marriage, it is not impossible to find a good Lang Jun. But it is too far from the standard of the Qian family, and he must not let Qian Xuerou's good card be wasted.

After all, Qian Xuerou's appearance is here.

"Why are you here?" Always rejoice.

"I heard that you can rent a shop here, but I don't know if there are still shops here? Can you rent it to me? Qian Xuerou paused, and said: "It's for me and not the Qian family, I went to find someone in charge before, probably because I was embarrassed and didn't dare to respond to me, so I took the liberty to stop the two masters, please forgive me." ”

"Rent a shop?"

"I won't hide it from you, my father wants to remarry me, but I don't agree. My father insisted on doing it, and I wanted to escape, but a woman was afraid that something bad would happen if she ran around. Therefore, I want to find a shop here, firstly, for my future livelihood, and secondly, I really want to seek the protection of Master Chang. In Daoxiang County, this is the only place where I can be at peace. ”

Qian Xuerou had a firm attitude when she said this, and she was not as weak as her appearance appeared.

Chang Xile seems to be able to find the vivid woman who asked his brother to hand him a purse and wanted to elope with him. Or maybe it's the memory of the original body, although he doesn't have a sense of excitement for the person in front of him or has no special affection, but he can't completely ignore it like he does with a real stranger.

Qian Xuerou saw that Chang Xile was silent, and said: "Master Chang, don't worry, although I am a widow, I am not that shameless. Fang Cai's thoughts are sincere, not pretextual that there are actually other thoughts. I just want a place to live, and I will not provoke other rights and wrongs, and I will not appear in front of Master Chang again. ”

"What kind of business do you want to rent a shop?"

Qian Xuerou's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "I have learned a good embroidery since I was a child, and I had to be guided by a master when I came to Fuzhong before. Although I dare not say that my craftsmanship is ingenious, I can still exchange it for a few silver coins. I have also saved some private money for myself over the years, so I only ask Master Chang to give me the same opportunity to rent a shop as everyone else, and I have no other requests. ”

Chang Xile didn't respond directly, but looked at Chang Yu, "What do you think?" ”

Chang Yu also knew that the previous relationship between Qian Xuerou and Chang Xile was a little delicate for a moment, but it quickly dispersed. For him, Qian Xuerou is so uncompetitive now, and she can't pose a threat at all, so she just watches from the sidelines.

"She's not lying." Chang Yu affirmed.

Although he did not express his position directly, this sentence was sufficient.

But Chang Xile didn't respond directly, but said: "I don't care about the affairs of this dock, you go to the office to find the supervisor, he will do business." If you meet our requirements here, you will naturally apply through guò, if not, there is nothing I can do. ”

Qian Xuerou was not disappointed when she heard this, but was very satisfied.

She really wanted to start over, and if she couldn't get rid of the entanglement at home, she wouldn't have come here to embarrass herself. But she really can't do it, it's too difficult for a woman to survive in this world, if she goes far away, she is afraid that she will be kidnapped as soon as she goes out. But if it was in the county, her family could drag her home directly.

Although the rule is to remarry and obey yourself, it is actually not so easy. Only here can she find a trace of peace, which is a place where the Qian family dare not set foot.

She is indeed begging for joy through her former affection, but she still wants to be self-reliant and doesn't want to be attached to others, so it is most suitable for her to get a sentence of business.
