Qin Li was suspicious of Chen Cuiying in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He said seriously, "Since my sister-in-law said so, then we will make up our minds." ”

"It's a deal!" Chen Cuiying's smiling face suddenly became serious and said.

Finally got the matter of Yang Jisheng's study, Qin Li was very comfortable in his heart, and said goodbye to Chen Cuiying and turned around and left. Hearing Chen Cuiying let out a sigh of relief, as if something on her mind had finally let go, Qin Li turned her head sharply, and a pair of sharp tiger eyes looked towards the house when she turned around.

At this time, Chen Cuiying had already flashed open the door, and the scene in the room gave Qin Li an unobstructed view. The light in the room was very dim, but Qin Li could see clearly, and there were several wooden barrels placed against the north wall in the room. The outside of the barrel was black and grease-twisted.

At the same time, Qin Li's nostrils were filled with the smell of fire oil.

Chen Cuiying saw that Qin Li was about to leave, but suddenly turned around, and couldn't help but feel a shock to her body. Fortunately, Qin Li turned his head for a moment, and he had already moved his gaze from the room to Chen Cuiying. smiled gratefully at Chen Cuiying, with no abnormalities on her face, and then strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

At this time, Yang Jisheng was already extremely excited when he heard that his stepmother finally agreed to let him go to the county school to study. He was still a teenager after all, and he was so happy that he jumped for joy.

Yang Jisheng was full of gratitude to Qin Li, Qin Li was leaving, and Yang Jisheng naturally wanted to send it away.

He took two steps closely, arrived at Qin Li's side, and said happily, "Thank you, Lord Qin, thank you, Lord Qin!" ”

"Huh! Nothing to thank. Tomorrow you go to the county school, you must study with peace of mind and fight for your parents. In the future, they will be happy and happy to take the test and raise people. Qin Li gently patted Yang Jisheng's head and admonished while walking quickly.

Qin Li spoke in a loud voice, although he was talking to Yang Jisheng, he actually intended to say it to Chen Cuiying to a large extent. Qin Li suddenly turned his head to look inside the room just now, worried that Chen Cuiying would become suspicious. At this time, he didn't want to startle the snake.

Yang Jisheng looked serious and full of confidence, and said, "I will definitely do it." ”

The two of them talked, and soon came to the little bridge. At this time, they spoke, and Chen Cuihua obviously couldn't hear it.

Qin Li suddenly asked casually, "Jisheng, there seems to be fire oil in your house?" Where did you get that thing? ”

Yang Jisheng opened his mouth and said without thinking about it, "A few days ago, a few people came to my house in the middle of the night, and they brought a lot of barrels of fire oil, and my house couldn't fit it. Later, they carried a lot of them away in the night, and there was not much left in the house. ”

Qin Li was taken aback, and his eyes flashed with light.

He then asked, "Did the people who gave the oil know your stepmother or your father?" ”

Yang Jisheng thought for a moment before saying, "I don't seem to know each other." However, the stepmother still received them very warmly. ”

Boom! It was already obvious that the oil must have been used to set fire to the county school. No wonder this Chen Cuiying is a little abnormal, presumably she has something to do with the fire in the county school.

Thinking of this, Qin Li was ruthless in his heart, and his two tiger eyes burst out with a cold light. But soon Qin Li calmed down, just smiled faintly, turned his head and said to Yang Jisheng, "Jisheng, don't tell your father and mother what I said to you today." ”

"Yes! I won't say it, my stepmother's fierce appearance, you have also seen it. Alas! I really wish I could walk out of the house one day and never be angry with her. Yang Jisheng said angrily.

Qin Li and Yang Jisheng have only been in contact for a short time, but his impression of Yang Jisheng is very good. But after all, he still didn't understand Yang Jisheng, and he didn't dare to ask more.

Then he encouraged Yang Jisheng and asked him to go home.

Qin Li stepped on the small bridge alone, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

According to Qin Li's character, where is he the master who is willing to suffer dumb losses? There was a fire in the county school that night, and Qin Li had been arranging for Li Bo to investigate in secret. I can't help but start, Rao is Li Bo is very shrewd, and he has been secretly investigating for so many days, but he has no eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, because of Yang Jisheng's matter today, Qin Li discovered something different. But at this time, it was just a suspicion, after all, no witnesses were caught. Qin Li pondered and continued to investigate in-depth from Chen Cuiying's point of view, and he must find out the arsonist.

Then I thought of Yang Jisheng again. Because Yang Jisheng's family was poor, Qin Li exempted him from the repair fund for enrollment. Although Jiangdu County is a slightly wealthy small county, there are not a few families like Yang Jisheng, and there are not a few children like Yang Jisheng who want to study. Qin Li wanted to create a precedent for Ming education and implement compulsory education.

But the idea of implementing compulsory education is really good, but the professors in the county school have to eat, so many errand workers also have to eat, right? All these things need silver, but where do we get it?

The construction of the county school asked for 100,000 taels of silver from the imperial court, and most of it had already been spent. If you don't charge the repair fee, how will you spend the next days of county school? Qin Li was really embarrassed.

If you want to rely on Zheng Yunlin, the magistrate, to give the silver, then don't think about it. It would be good if Zheng Yunlin could send the subsidy to the student. Besides, Qin Li and Zheng Yunlin are now incompatible. Zheng Yunlin specially waited to see Qin Li's jokes, and purified his thoughts to harm Qin Lili.

Could it be that if you don't have any silver, you will ask Emperor Zhengde for it? You must know that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is also withering day by day, and the Ming Dynasty has no money at all. Besides, Qin Li always asks Emperor Zhengde for money, so can he still be a teacher?

What to do? Could it be that the country in later generations can implement compulsory education, but I, Qin Li, will not be able to implement it in the Ming Dynasty?

Qin Li lowered his head, walked and walked, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said secretly, isn't it a matter of silver? Silver is earned by men. In later generations, some schools opened school-run factories, couldn't I, Qin Li, also open a factory in the county school and use the money earned from the factory to maintain the county school?

Thinking of this, Qin Li was excited.

said that when Qin Li had just crossed the Ming Dynasty and followed Tang Bohu, he had a personal feeling. Da Ming used a brush, which was very unaccustomed to Qin Li, a person who had never written with a brush in later generations. It took him two months just to practice using the brush.

Qin Li wanted to launch a pencil in Daming. Pencils are easy to make, and Qin Li found that the most basic material for making pencils is also easy to find in Yangzhou: graphite. As for the wood needed to make pencils, it can be found everywhere.

……

Qin Li said that he would do it, and when he returned to the county school, he first sent someone to find Li Bo, and instructed Li Bo to go down, and asked him to send someone to secretly follow and investigate Chen Cuiying. As soon as there is any new discovery, report it to Qin Li immediately.

After arranging this matter, Qin Li immediately found Long Deyou and discussed with Long Deyou about opening a pencil making factory in Jiangdu County.
