Chapter 52: Return
Soon after the wedding, the Qin family came to the door with a heavy gift and asked Zhao Jiao to tolerate the Qin family to live for a while, and they could not move out until the town bought a house.
Old man Song inquired clearly, Yizhou was still in chaos.
The new governor has just arrived, and he is busy pacifying the city and outside the city, but from time to time there are also displaced people who have been affected by the disaster and are going around to commit crimes.
Other people's families are fine, as long as there are many people, it is not difficult to guard against a few homeless people. But their Qin family, because the clansmen revealed the news of the flood, but they didn't run away, and they were found by the government at that time to make a raft, which made the whole city hate!
It is impossible to say that their Qin family will never be able to go back in the future.
On the afternoon of the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cai Dacheng came back, accompanied by the accompanying guards, as many as 30 people, all strong men.
They are all from the army, and the management is also convenient. All two to four people in one room were divided into the lower servants.
After some washing, the whole village held a dinner party before settling down.
Cai Dacheng first introduced the general situation after his parting to Zhao Jiao and them, and then roughly understood the affairs at home, the night was very late, and adult activities also appeared...
The next day, Cai Dacheng began to visit the clan elders.
The third old lady and a few other elderly people knew that Cai Dacheng was awarded the title of first-class prince, and they were so excited that they burst into tears on the spot, and said that they must pay tribute to their ancestors and hope that future generations will prosper.
Because the Cai family does not have an ancestral hall, they all go to their respective ancestral graves to worship in previous years.
As a descendant, Cai Dacheng certainly didn't want his family to float like this forever, so he proposed to build an ancestral hall, and all the expenses were paid by him.
As soon as these words came out, there was silence on the spot.
"Dacheng, uncle knows that you are a good one, but the cost is too much, and it can't be built for one or two dollars!" The third master spoke slowly.
Who wouldn't want to build an ancestral hall for their family? But after hundreds of years of war, except for a very small number of family magnates, very few can keep their ancestral halls.
Cai Dacheng patiently explained: "Third master, since the kid can say this, he has the ability to bear it."
Besides, I have achieved the position of Guogong, and I don't even have the ability to build an ancestral hall in my own family, so what else is Guogong?
I'm going to build a three-hall courtyard as an ancestral hall, but this address is still not easy to choose.
The location of Hecun is too small, and I want to push off the stone mountain in front of my house, and then set it up in detail.
There are two plans, one is that my house and the school will expand into a courtyard and connect it into a whole three-entry courtyard, and the school will be changed into an ancestral hall, and the school will be moved to Zhuangzi. It's conveniently located for children from other villages to go to school with, and it's a large location that can be expanded in front and back.
Another plan is to build a new three-entry courtyard on the site of the mountain that was pushed to it.
These two plans are only my ideas at present, and I would like to ask Mr. to come and take a look at them. ”
Fifth uncle: "No matter which plan it is, this is a lot of money." ”
Cai Dacheng soothed: "I was named the prince of the country, and the emperor rewarded me with a lot of money." In addition, I also earned a little bit when I led troops to fight before, and it was still very easy to take it out and build an ancestral shrine. ”
Cai Dacheng stopped what the fifth uncle wanted to say: "Fifth uncle, it's useless to put it there if you have more money, you don't bring it to life and die, it's better to take it out and do something useful, but running a school and building an ancestral temple are urgently needed, and they are also the two major things I want to do when I come back this time."
Our clan is still very poor, there is a saying that it is difficult to support alone, and it is impossible for me to carry forward the whole family by myself, after all, I am not able to do it.
If you want the future generations of the entire family to get ahead, you will no longer need me to contribute money and efforts alone in the future, you will need all of you to work together.
The prosperity of the family has never been a matter of one person, and at the moment when the clan needs me the most, I can do more if I can.
Although the third master and your uncles are not young, there are many things that belong to you.
How to educate children and grandchildren, how to restrain the clansmen, I can only take the lead, and it depends on everyone how to follow up.
At present, the population of our clan is not large, only a few dozen, but I hope that every child in the family can be carefully taught, and there will be a day when it will be carried forward after a long time.
Therefore, future generations, both male and female, must study. I have already prepared the money, and the master is no problem, and I will arrange the manpower.
Although it is impossible to show off talents and raise people in a short period of time, and I feel that there is no hope, all the children and grandchildren have read, and being able to calculate and understand is the greatest progress.
There is always a reward for paying, if one generation doesn't work, there will be two generations, and if two generations can't work, there will be three generations...
I believe that you don't have to wait for three generations, but you will be able to see the results when you reach your grandson, the fifth uncle. ”
