After a while, they arrived at the bazaar, and there were two big shops not far from the school, one for cotton and the other for grain. It is written about various grades of cotton and grain, at different prices.

The cotton collection stall is estimated to have just begun, only a middle-aged man in front of him is selling cotton, happily taking the money, pulling the car home, from the purse containing silver just now, it can be seen that this time sold a lot of money.

It was Cui Laohan's turn, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Duan Zhixuan hurriedly helped Cui Laohan unload the cotton and move it to the house to weigh it.

Zhao Wu is now transferred here to buy cotton, and now that the building has been sold, they can't be idle, they can only obey the deployment of their superiors.

"This uncle, your cotton is in good condition, and there are no impurities in it, it is a first-class product, one pound of one hundred wen, your gross weight is a total of fifty-eight catties and three taels, excluding the weight of the sack of seven catties and five taels, and the net weight is fifty catties and eight taels, and you can get a total of five taels of silver and eighty taels." Zhao Wubian said, and filled in the receipt form.

Li Er asked, "Uncle Cui, is this weight right?" Li Er saw several bags of hemp, why was it only more than fifty catties, and he thought that Zhao Wu was short of two catties.

Uncle Cui smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, I weighed it at home, it's only fifty-eight pounds, I didn't expect to come here and have three taels more." ”

Zhao Wu was a salesman, and he had already cultivated a pair of dog-eyed eyes, and he saw that Li Er and the others were by no means ordinary readers. Zhao Wu even learned a lesson from Liu Weifeng that people should not be disfigured, and he was naturally very kind to everyone.

"This uncle, we are all called Tong Su here. If you don't believe me, you can take our scale and try it at the school. Zhao Wu explained, I don't believe in the scale here, you can weigh it elsewhere.

"What are you going to do in the school?" Cheng Yanjin was puzzled, isn't the school a place to study. I wonder if someone is doing business in it.

"Hehe, you don't know. If you want to say, it is also our master here who is interesting, saying that reading can be literate and reasonable, only a few people can be admitted to fame, most people can not be admitted, so naturally we have to teach some arithmetic used on weekdays, rods and scales for weighing things, and rulers for measuring cloth, etc. Even if you can't pass the imperial examination, you can use it on weekdays, and in this school, it is naturally the most standard. Zhao Wu explained, obviously admiring this teaching method.

Li Er nodded: "I see!" Not bad. Not bad. ”

"Uncle Cui, then you have to collect this money. Is this the only cotton that is collected at home?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask. There are quite a few in the plains.

"Huh. No, we have two acres of rice and eighteen acres of cotton at home. This is only the yield of less than half an acre of land, the emperor did not deceive everyone, growing cotton is really more cost-effective than growing grain, according to this price. We'll have a hundred taels of silver this year. I never thought I could make so much money, I've never seen it in my life. Cui Laohan carefully put the money in his arms, tears of excitement.

An ordinary farmer earns 100 taels a year. This is about the same as the income of the rich peasants in Guanzhong. Newly stable people like Cui Laohan are all homeless, but they have never seen so much money in their lives!

"Then congratulations to your old man." Li Er was happy in his heart, it only took a year for these people to completely settle down.

"Hehe, they are all wise in the court! Cui Laohan wiped his tears, "I bought some meat, picked up my grandson in the school, and went to my house for dinner, you helped me push the car all the way, it was really hard." ”

"Don't bother uncle, we still have something to do, and I just want to go to the school to have a look." Li Er said with a smile, very interested in the school in Zhao Wu's mouth.

"How can this work, you can't be allowed to work in vain!" Cui Laohan bought five catties of fat and thin meat, made a few catties of wine, put it in the car, and waited for his grandson at the door of the school.

"Uncle Cui, you wait for me here, we want to go to the academy to have a look." After Li Er finished speaking, he took Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Duan Zhixuan to the school.

When I walked to the door, I was stopped by the old man who was guarding the door and said, "It's the children's class time, and idlers are not allowed to enter." ”

Cheng Yanjin had to admire the shriveled old man in front of him, and there were still people in the world who could stop Li Er.

"This uncle, we just want to see how the master teaches in this school, but we came from afar, and we heard that the teaching here is novel, so we came to learn." Li Er saluted the old man and said respectfully.

The old janitor enjoyed it, and it was not the first time that someone had come, so he whispered, "All right, but you can only watch from the door, and you must not make a sound, or I will drive you out." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Li Er said with a smile, took the three of them in, and was silent at the door, hearing the warm voice of the master inside.

"Isn't this a kid from Xiao Yu's family!" Li Er whispered that it was his future cheap son-in-law Xiao Rui, and he would not admit his mistake.

"I didn't expect this kid to come here as a master." Although Cheng Yanjin had lowered his voice, it was still very loud, disturbing the students who were listening to the class.

Qin Qiong waited for Cheng Yanjin to glance at him and said, "Shhh Don't talk, disturb the Master's lecture. ”

Xiao Rui is teaching the children how to measure the cloth, recognize the scale, and teach them to calculate the accounts, and then teach them multiplication.

Some children are smart and understand when they hear it, and some don't understand it, so Xiao Rui has to tell them again and demonstrate it. Before I knew it, the crisp sound of the bell came to mind, and it turned out that it was time for class to end. Xiao Rui assigned a little homework and announced that the children were out of school.

The children began to pack their things, carry their home-made school bags, and start to go home.

Now it's busy farming, only half a day of class, and you can work at home in the afternoon, don't look at these children can't do heavy work, but picking up cotton and watching the cotton dry, you can still be competent.

Xiao Rui packed up his things, came out with a bookcase, and when he looked up and saw Li Er, he hurriedly made a gesture to kneel.

Li Er stretched out his hand to support it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your kid to be a master here, it's very good and practical." In the future, the following schools should do this, and what they have learned is very useful. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Rui'er is just trying her best, and she deserves to be praised by Your Majesty." Xiao Rui said modestly, not daring to be rash in front of Li Er.

"Why are you here to be a master?" Cheng Yanjin asked puzzled.

"General Huicheng, because the school here has been built, but the master has not been found, so our brothers have discussed some things, and one of us is in charge of a school and teaches it temporarily. After the autumn harvest, the people here have money in their hands and can afford to hire a good master, and we will go back. Xiao Rui said with a smile, even if he gave money before, no one came, but with the increase in the income of the people here, I believe that the current predicament can be changed.

"You have to think about this, Chong'er once said, no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about children, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, it seems that I still can't do enough!" Li Er sighed, he was originally a little complacent, and the facts warned him that he still needed to work hard in the future.

"Your Majesty, uncles, now it's time for lunch, why don't we go back together." Xiao Rui suggested that seeing them covered in dust, it could be seen that the road was not easy, and it was estimated that they were a little tired.

"Na Rui'er leads the way." Li Er's jaw was headed.

Coming out of the school, Cui Laohan shouted loudly: "A few brothers have just come out, and Xiao Lao'er still wants to call you to go to my house for dinner together!" ”

"Grandpa, this is the master." A little boy about seven or eight years old next to him whispered.

Cui Laohan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I have worked hard Master, my child is now not only literate, but also more sensible and polite than before, which is all the credit of the Master." Let's go, let's go, let's go to my house for a meal and a glass of water and wine. ”

Xiao Rui returned the salute and said: "Teaching and educating people is the duty of the master, and there is no need to mind. It's just that there are guests at home, and it is better to go back early to rest and bother the uncle another day. ”

When Cui Laohan saw people say this, he didn't want to persuade him much: "That's good, I will definitely go to Xiao Lao'er's house for a light meal another day." ”

Seeing the two grandparents leave, Xiao Rui, Li Er and the others got into the carriage and returned to the post house.

Changsun Chong came back from outside and happened to meet Li Er and the others at the door.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Changsun Chong hurriedly ran over to say goodbye, thinking that he didn't seem to have done anything bad recently, and his courage also increased.

"Hehe, let's see if you kid has done anything bad." Li Er laughed.

The eldest grandson chuckled in his heart, stood in place, and looked at Li Er sadly, not so scary.

Cheng Biting Jin patted Changsun Chong's shoulder and said, "You kid is capable, I heard that the girl is with you with all her heart." ”

The eldest grandson Chong smiled bitterly, it seems that this proposal will not be so smooth, this old man came to find fault in person, so he can only continue to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he doesn't dare to slack off!

"Uncle Cheng, where is it! All the way, hurry in to wash up and eat. Changsun Chong said.

"Kid, good!" Qin Qiong was grateful to Changsun Chong for the medicine he got from Changsun Chong and cured his illness, and he could only say that he was begging for more blessings for Changsun Chong's eyes asking for help now.

Duan Zhixuan is really, since the second son got pregnancy promotion medicine from the eldest grandson Chong here, this eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson last year, after half a year, the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and now it is four months old, and the family regards the eldest grandson Chong as a benefactor!

"Very well done, Your Majesty knows it. As for those little things, Your Majesty will not really take them to heart, and everything will be important to the Tang Dynasty. Duan Zhixuan said in a deep voice, it is rare that Duan Zhixuan, who has always been expressionless, cherishes words like gold, and now in order to comfort Changsun Chong, he said such a long sentence.

"Thank you Uncle Duan for reminding me, the kid is grateful! Inside please! Eldest Sun Chong stretched out his hand and let Duan Zhixuan go first. (To be continued......)
