Chapter Forty-Nine: Accumulation of Grain
Elm Pimple, who selflessly donated the school's premises and start-up funds, deservedly became the owner of the "Ark Yixue", and served as a nurse, handyman, and pyrotechnic. As a monk of Xiaoshui, his signboard can take advantage of a lot when dealing with the government.
Lao Qingde served as the chief of the mountain and was in charge of power.
As for the follow-up funds, Xintian lobbying does not have to worry. Emphasize that it is not allowed to save, not to accept gifts, and to save being criticized. When students enter the school, they sign a waiver agreement to save trouble in the future. Admission of students, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, must be smart and in good health.
From today onwards, Hibiscus also undertakes a mission, collecting books.
He put forward two unusual rules for teaching. It is not explained, it must be carried out.
First, the teachers are excellent in character and learning, and the students are half male and half female.
Although this era did not pursue the principle that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", the vast majority of women still do not study. Like Miss Dong, after all, it is a minority.
Barely understandable, though.
Second, students must have fitness classes, labor classes, handicraft classes, and when they are older, they will start calculation and preparation classes, and build classes...... In addition to Confucianism, there must also be warriors, monks, craftsmen, hunters, farmers, and female celebrities.
It is normal for Confucian scholars, martial artists, and monks to be teachers.
But as a "craftsman, hunter, farmer, and female celebrity" who is a subordinate, he can also be a teacher and sit on an equal footing with the three?
Shocked to the ground.
Xintianyou looked at the sun, remembered his miserable childhood, and slowly added:
"No force, no assessment, no corporal punishment...... I hope that they will grow up happily. ”
Hearing this, except for the little stars flashing in He Qingqing's eyes, everyone else felt inexplicable.
What child doesn't have a sad face when he reads? If the jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, and people do not understand etiquette if they are not beaten. Since ancient times, has the husband's precept been vegetarian?
In the end, Xintianyou loudly announced the marriage of Lao Qingde and Ma Cuihua.
Dong Shumin slapped and applauded, Yu Pimple echoed "Congratulations", and the faces of Lao Qingde and Ma Kong were unnatural.
Marriage is a major event in life, and the rituals of the six rites are also indispensable. Where have you ever seen such a hasty decision? But the believer has great powers and is a life-saving benefactor, so no one can do anything about him.
He Qingqing jumped up happily, Ma Cuihua said "oops", covered her face in shame and ran behind the stele. I squatted down and cried. Xintianyou was stunned for a moment, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment? Hurriedly asked Dong Shumin to ask.
He Qingqing looked left and right, and followed.
Miss Dong turned around after a while, rolled her eyes, and said, "Stupid, people are happy!" ”
Lunch is eaten in Yu's house, and the ingredients are ready-made.
The nursing home was all gone, and the frightened servants, cooks, and small workers had no time to leave. When they heard that there was going to be a "righteous school" here, and the salaries of those who stayed behind were doubled, they were suddenly full of energy. stir-fry, stir-fry, boil, fry, cook, fry, stew, simmer, stew...... All eighteen martial arts have moved out.
He Qingqing said that she had to take care of her mother, and left first without waiting for the meal to start.
Later, Xintianyou instructed Ma Cuihua and Xiaoxiang to carry a food box to deliver the food and eat with the mother and daughter.
When the meal started, Zhao Jia and Xiaolan didn't dare to share the table with Miss Dong, and Ma Kong, Lao Qingde, and Yu Pimple didn't dare to sit down in front of the believer.
Xintianyou frowned and announced an even more ridiculous decision.
All are equal!
This sentence was originally said by the Buddha, all beings are equal. But in the world, when was it equal?
When Ma Kong, Lao Qingde, and Yu Pimple finally sat down, Zhao Jia and Xiaolan were still standing in fear. As a slave of the Dong Mansion, if you dare to sit on an equal footing with the young lady, you will be killed by the rod.
Dong Shumin's eyes widened and said:
"Zhao Jia, Xiaolan, sit down. From now on, you will do whatever Xiaotian wants you to do. ”
After lunch, I didn't rest.
Xintianyou checked Lao Fuzi's injuries, and although his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his calf bones were cracked, there were no serious internal injuries. That gang of splashes is measured, if they really kill a showman, they will not be able to get out of it.
Dong Shumin asked Yu Pimple about the situation of the Xiaoshui Sword Sect, and the old man knew everything and said everything.
After drinking tea, Xintianyou took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstones from the account room of Yu's mansion and wrapped them into a large bundle, and asked Zhao Jia to carry them to He Qingqing's house.
Under the sun, on the ridges.
The team formed a line, and it seemed to go on an outing.
The peasants looked at it from afar, looking dumbfounded.
At the foreground is a ranger with grass in his mouth. As he walked, he swayed and his waist rattled. He was followed by a scholar, an official lady, a maid, a guard, a catcher, and a fireman.
What a strange combination.
As he walked, he talked as he spoke, stopping and pointing from time to time.
"From Yi to He Qingqing's house, the left side is bounded by the villagers' houses, and the right side is bounded by the official road, about more than 100 acres of land. Chief Laoshan, buy it all. ”
Lao Qingde said:
"The villagers make a living by digging in the soil, and I'm afraid they won't sell it. Even if he got the money to sell the land for a while, he was cut off from the source of livelihood, and he had no way to enter the city to gain a foothold. ”
Xintianyou explained:
"It doesn't matter, we pay for the land, but we only rent it for 20 years. Their spare labor can help Yixue to do things. You can also tell them to use the rent to open inns and restaurants as soon as possible. Once the school is established, it will become very lively, and there will be an endless stream of parents who send their children and visit their children. ”
"Okay."
"The ten acres of land in front of the school, leveling it, planting grass, and letting the children play in the future. The next ten acres are used as labor demonstration fields. After that, ten acres, he built a house for his husband to live in. After ten acres, build a very strong warehouse. As soon as the early rice came out, they immediately began to stock grain. ”
"Tianyou, money, money is not enough."
"You don't have to ask about the money, I will send someone to send it, and you don't have to report how you spend it. The remaining sixty or seventy acres of land behind the warehouse were quickly dug into a large pond by hand. It must be deep and tamp the foundation of the pond. Be sure to take advantage of the rain in spring and summer, store it with water, and throw some fry into it......"
Rent land to dig a pit? Everyone was puzzled and didn't dare to make a sound.
Dong Shumin was the smartest and interjected:
"Xiaotian, you are stockpiling grain and storing water, do you think there will be a big drought this year?"
Xintianyou looked at the sun and said:
"Whether it's a big drought or a small drought, I can't tell yet, but the sun is definitely stronger than usual. The sunshine in Qiyun County is abundant, and the rice is generally double-cropped, early rice and late rice. You can tell your father not to plant late rice, but to plant drought-tolerant crops such as soybeans, peanuts, wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes. ”
"Okay, I'll write to Daddy. Xiaotian, you don't know, the largest grain producing area in China is Xining County, which is next to Yunmengze in the west of our Qiyun County, where rice crops three times a year, and there are three crops of rice in the morning, middle and evening. If the rice is stopped, two-thirds of the grain will be lost. Besides, there are all paddy fields, and they can't be turned into dry land all of a sudden. ”
"Since Xining County has abundant water, there is no need to change to other crops. The material reserves of the county seat and county seat are very important, and they must be prepared in advance, otherwise there will be riots. Dig deep wells and accumulate grain. ”
