The area around Gongtian is now more lively than before. Every day, the fields and shacks are full of people, although they are all elderly people, and they don't have much strength, but they are more experienced than they are, and they are all some work to serve the crops, they have all done a lifetime, and they don't need Zhang Yi'er to mention their lives, Zhang Yi now says what he needs to do every morning, and these people are more thoughtful and careful than Zhang Yi thought. In the huts, there were already the cheerful cries of chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, etc. Next to the public field, these people built a lot of earthen huts by themselves, and they simply didn't go home to live, and Zhang Yi and others lived in the earthen huts on the edge of the field, and they could take care of the livestock nearby at night. Working together during the day, in their spare time, these old people who are familiar with each other on weekdays, but not together, cook together, eat together, and talk about some old things in the past.

Zhou Nan came over today, not to see Gongtian, but to see the school built in the village with Gao Yuan, Gao Yun, Gao Bingchang and others.

To the south of the Wangqi Terrace is a mountain stream that flows down from the West Mountain, zigzags to the east. On the western slope of the mountain is a pine forest, and outside the pine forest is a bamboo forest, the bamboo forest and the mountain stream are one south and one north, and in the middle is a mountainous area. The pine waves are bursting, the bamboo forests are covered, the mountains are full of flowers, and the north is a gurgling stream. This environment is quiet and quiet, Lao Zheng Tou has long planned to build a school, and Zhou Nan thought of it. First, the environment is good, suitable for studying, and secondly, it is close to the public field and livestock, Zhou Nan's idea is that in addition to studying, the students in the study hall should also go to the public field and cattle to do some work, which not only tempers the body, but also helps Zhang Yi and them to do work.

After selecting a place, Zhou Nan asked Liu Zongwang to take the craftsmen in the village to build a school on this vacant land between the bamboo forest and the stream. The school was built from the pine wood cut near the West Mountain, and now there are stonemasons, carpenters, and lacquer craftsmen in the village, and these craftsmen are all familiar with each other when they build the stone wall, and building a school is not a heavy job, but there is time to build this school.

Thick whole pine trees are cut down one by one, transported over, and made into pillars or beams according to the amount of material used, and some are made into planks with saw blades. The stonemasons then built a stone foundation about three feet high with neat stone blocks on the mountain, and laid steps on the south side of the foundation. Then the position of the pillars was chiseled out on the stone foundation, twelve whole pine trees were used as columns, and then the beams were made of slightly thinner pine wood, and then the roof of the shed was made of painted wooden planks, and finally the walls were built with painted planks between the columns, and the doors and windows were made. Stonemasons, carpenters, and lacquerers were busy and were built in a few days.

Lao Zheng Tou invited Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan and others to go up to watch, this bamboo forest, between the mountains and streams was originally quiet and deep, and now a school with pillars and eaves is erected here out of thin air, although it is not a carved beam and painted building, but it is already the most luxurious building in the whole village.

I saw that the blue-gray neat stone foundation protruded from the ground, and the steps paved with five-level long stones were facing the entrance of the school on the stone foundation. In the center of the stone foundation are three spacious pine schools, which can accommodate a hundred people, and now there are more than 20 children in them, running around happily, and even the desks in the school are made of leftover scraps from the construction of the house.

The top of the school is a vermilion dripping eaves sticking out, the roof is covered with gray terracotta, and the walls of the school are made of wooden planks and painted light yellow. The windows of the school are bright and clean, and around the walls of the school, under the dripping eaves, there is a circle of corridors around the school, and there is a two-foot-high fence around the corridor, so you don't have to worry about children falling down on the corridor; Standing in the study hall, opening the window, looking south, is the bamboo forest; Looking north from the window in the school, you can see the mountain stream flowing out of the pine forest, and then to the north, you can see the public fields and male animals, and in the distance you are the high mountains and lush vegetation. The bamboo forest in the south of the school is also lush and green, overlapping and overlapping, and the newly grown bamboo shoots are tender and green, and the bamboo green in winter is pale yellow, and the whole bamboo forest is full of vitality.

This is the school that Lao Zheng Tou strongly requested. Lao Zhengtou, who was walking beside Zhou Nan, was red with excitement, his eyes were dizzy, and he didn't know what to say for a long time. Or Zhou Nan took a group of children and asked Lao Zheng Tou to name the school, and Lao Zheng Tou stopped his excitement and said: "In his lifetime, the old man can spend his life in this mountain, teach young children, and help his neighbors, what more can he ask for?" The study hall was built by Da Lang, and it should be given by Da Lang, and it is a blessing for me to be able to write the title on the plaque. ”

Hearing Lao Zheng Tou say this, the craftsman and the people in the village who came to visit all asked Zhou Nan to give him a name, Zhou Nan saw that Lao Zheng Tou had a firm attitude, so he said to Lao Zheng Tou: "I am a hunter, the name is not good, you don't laugh at me; Children in the mountains, don't seek to go out to test for fame and fame, seek wealth and nobility, just want not to be stupid, not to be bullied, and understand the truth, this is enough. This school is not called the Hall of Knowledge, right? ”

Lao Zheng Tou said to Zhou Nan: "The old man only learned today, Da Lang is wise, people in the world only know how to read and test fame, but they don't know that the sage wrote books and passed them on, which is supposed to make people sensible, but unfortunately the old man I only understood at such an age, but I don't want Da Lang to be so young, but he can understand such a truth." The old man is respectful. ”

Zhou Nan is also used to such words, but he also knows that he may not be as good as the highly intelligent people of this era in terms of mentality, but if it is about the accumulation of knowledge, Zhou Nan has stood on the shoulders of countless masters more than the people of this era.

Zhou Nan said to Lao Zheng Tou: "From today on, it is time to call you Lao Zheng Tou as Zheng Shanchang." As he spoke, he bowed to Lao Zhengtou, and the rest of the people also followed Zhou Nan and saluted in unison and shouted, "Zheng Shan is good." ”

The old Zheng Tou who shouted was excited again, and hurriedly returned the salute to everyone, saying: "In the future, it will be commensurate with the past, and I can't be called the chief of the mountain." Lao Zheng Tou took advantage of the excitement and wrote the words "Seeking Knowledge" on a wooden board with a pen, and his own craftsmen took it to carve and paint.

When the study hall was built, Lao Zheng Tou also built a stone house next to the study hall, built a circle of stone walls, and used it as his home, and moved the things and medicinal materials used in the old home, which was much more convenient.

After looking at it, Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan, and Gao Yun came out of the old Zhengtou stone house, and walked along the path by the bamboo forest to Gao Yuan's house. ”

Gao Yun also said enviously: "Dr. Zheng is a scholar, and the place he chose is naturally the most beautiful." Gao Yuan laughed and said: "It's true that Old Zheng Tou is a scholar, and it's not false that this place is the most beautiful, but the person who picks this place is not your Doctor Zheng." Gao Yun looked at Gao Yuan's face full of pride, and couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that you can't do it?" Zhou Nan followed behind, smiling as the brother and sister bickered. Gao Yuan said: "It's not me, but it's the big man next to me." Gao Yun's eyes fluttered, and he glanced at Zhou Nandao: "Da Lang chooses, and the slave family naturally believes it." I hope that the slave family will also have a house by this bamboo forest in the future. Gao Yuan said: "What is this worth?" You just ask Da Lang to help you choose. ”

(This is the end of the "infrastructure", and it will never be done again, hehe.) ）
