Chapter 29: The King's Sledgehammer

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

Lin Er and Li Yang had not yet entered Hutou Village, but they heard the sound of striking iron coming from Hutou Village from a distance, and at the same time, as Lin Er and Li Yang came over, the people who were guarding Hutou Village also found the figures of the two.

Because of the existence of bandits, every village in the deep mountains will arrange people to guard every day, once the enemy is found, they will quickly ring the gong to tell others that there are bandits coming, and quickly take weapons to fight the enemy.

Hutou Village is like this, and the same is true for Qingshan Village, if there is no sentry and the bandits quietly touch it, then this village will basically be destroyed by the bandits.

Zhao Tietou and Sun Chong, who were on guard in Hutou Village, saw the figures of Lin Er and Li Yang, and Zhao Tietou, who found the figure first, said: "Someone is coming!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Chong looked at Lin Er and Li Yang, and found that there were only two people, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the faces clearly, he said: "There are only two people, it shouldn't be an enemy, let's wait." ”

When Lin Er and Li Yang got some distance closer, Zhao Tietou and Sun Chong recognized Lin Er and Li Yang from Qingshan Village, and then they put their minds at ease, Zhao Tietou stayed in place, and Sun Chong stepped forward to greet Lin Er and Li Yang.

There are not many fields in Hutou Village, and most of the food consumed by the villagers every year is exchanged for iron tools from other villages and even outsiders, and the most important source of food is Qingshan Village.

"Lin Er, Li Yang, why did you two come over?" Sun Chong stepped forward and asked.

"It's not for the sake of food, the autumn harvest is coming soon, let's discuss the grain matter first, and then exchange between our two villages after the autumn harvest." Lin Er replied.

The matter of food is a big deal for Hutou Village, Sun Chong immediately led Lin Er and Li Yang to the village, and finally led the two of them in front of Wang Dazhu, the owner of the village.

At this time, Wang Da Hammer was still banging in front of the anvil, and he had already felt Lin Er and Li Yang coming, but the matter in his hand could not be stopped, and it should not be a very anxious thing, so Wang Da Hammer continued to "jingle and clang".

After a while, Wang Dazhui stopped, he turned his majestic body to look at the two of them and asked, "You two came here for food?" ”

Lin Er replied: "Yes, Lord Wangzhai, the grain is about to be harvested, let us come over and discuss the matter of exchanging grain for iron first." ”

The matter of exchanging grain for iron seems to be relatively simple, but in fact the content is more complicated, the year is different, the grain harvest is different, the iron tools are different, the number of iron tools exchanged for Qingshan Village is different, and finally it needs to be carefully discussed to determine how much grain to exchange for how many iron.

Lin Er and Li Yang are not the principals of Qingshanzhai, it is impossible to settle the matter now, the two of them will bring the words of several elders of Qingshanzhai, and then bring back the words of the owner of Hutou Village, and wait until the autumn harvest, the owner of Wang Zhai will personally take someone to take iron tools to Qingshan Village, or a leg-and-foot old man in Qingshan Village will bring people to Hutou Village with food.

Wang Dazhui listened to Lin Er and Li Yang's retelling, and told the two of them some of his words, and Lin Er and Li Yang became the mouthpieces of Qingshan Village and Hutou Village.

Wang Dazhui, the owner of the village, has a very high status in Hutou Village, and he can call the shots in most things, unlike Qingshan Village, even if the old owner is still there, the old owner of the village cannot make a decision alone, and several people need to discuss.

When the matter of exchanging grain for iron was finished, Lin Er said again: "Lord Wangzhai, our students of Fangnan Village Master of Qingshan Village are about to leave the school, I don't know if the children of Hutou Village want to read and write, Qingshan Village can send two people to teach the children of Hutou Village to read and write." ”

"Reading and literacy?" Wang Dazhui muttered, if it was a few years ago, then Wang Dazhui would not care about reading and literacy, but in the past few years, several stories of Fang Nan and Qingshanzhai have spread, and sometimes even Wang Dazhui has the idea of wanting to read and write, just to tell his ancestors that he can also become a scholar after death.

Wang Dazhui thought for a while and said: "Our Hutou Village disciples do need to read and write, and I will personally go to Qingshan Village after the autumn harvest to talk about the specific situation." ”

Hutou Village did not make a direct decision, and the other nine villages were also very interested in reading and writing, and only two of them made a direct decision after asking the teacher's remuneration to welcome someone from Qingshanzhai to come and teach the children to read and write.

Providing housing and food is the most basic remuneration, in addition, the village has to make a concession when trading with Qingshanzhai, in general, these remunerations are not much, compared with the cost of reading and literacy in the outside world, you must know that Qingshanzhai sent two people over, and they had to teach dozens of students at once.

The specific things will have to wait until after the autumn harvest, and the third year of the third school year of Fangnan is still half a month away, and they are still in class.

By the way, Fang Nan is already arranging for the students to teach in other villages, more than a dozen groups of students are ready, all of them are a group of men and women, it seems that the students have already found a good partner, and many people's marriage events may be done after their studies.

Originally, Hu Zhuang, Wang Mu, Zhou Lei and others all had the idea of going out to teach, but they were stopped by Fang Nan, and Fang Nan was ready to leave Zhou Lei to teach in Qingshanzhai, and the first batch of students in Qingshanzhai would end their studies, and a second batch of students would appear.

Basically, after the autumn harvest, the second batch of students will enroll, the oldest is already 14 years old, the minimum age is also set at 12 years old, and it is expected that about 30 students will enroll.

And Fang Nan himself is no longer ready to teach the second batch of students, and in the next few years, Fang Nan has two main tasks.

One is to teach their own students more knowledge, military, management, and even medicine.

Although half of the students have to go to other villages to teach, Fang Nan also has a way to teach them knowledge, the students have already memorized all the words, they can read books directly, and the matter of buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone needs to be solved separately.

Another task is to make firearms, it is expected that Fang Nan will often go to Hutou Village, take out the drawings of firearms, let Hutou Village build firearms, and the cost of building firearms, Fang Nan also has a solution.

Both things need money, Qingshanzhai is impossible to provide, Fang Nan's personal strength is extraordinary now, but Fang Nan has not thought of the idea of robbing the house, but he can exchange things for money.

There are a lot of things from his previous life in Fang Nan's personal space, a few jewelry that was not too expensive in his previous life, which should be able to sell for a lot of money now, and some of the decorations on his clothes are even cheaper, but in this era, they may sell for a higher price than those few accessories.

After all, the bigger the "gem", the more valuable it is, and people in this era can't tell the real from the fake, and the most important thing is to look good.

Fang Nan plans to take some time to go to the outside world in person, it is more dangerous for others to take things in exchange for money, Fang Nan has strong personal force, even if he encounters dangerous things, he can fight back, and the weapon in the portable space is also one of Fang Nan's confidence.
