(128) Xiucai's character

was stared at by Zhang Qingting with undisguised appreciation. Zhao Chengcai only felt that his heart was blooming, and his whole body was fluttering, and even his bones seemed to be a few pounds lighter.

I only heard that Li Hongwen was still flickering above, "Xiucai Niangzi's Juewei Zhai is closed, and of course there is no money to build this alley." Since you don't have any money, why don't you just sell this alley? With such a good location, it is impossible that this land cannot be sold. But Xiucai disagreed, and the little couple quarreled several times about this. ”

Zhang Qingting was angry and funny when she heard it, how did she become a philistine businessman who only wanted personal gain?

Li Hongwen continued to put gold on Zhao Chengcai's face, "Will Xiucai disagree?" Because he is a reader! If they casually sell the school to other people, will they be willing to build the school? Is it Ken that can be built so well? Everyone can take a look, there is a sample of the school posted downstairs, how beautiful! If it is really built, it will be a great thing for the benefit of our whole village! ”

"I'm not talking about this here, I don't want everyone to pay, I just want everyone to understand this reason! This building a school is not his Zhao Xiucai's business alone, it should be the business of our whole township! Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and everyone who is powerful should come and do their part. We don't want everyone to do this in vain, it's all about money! ”

"If anyone happens to need something to do this project, they can come and sign up. Let's talk about it in detail! When the house is built and sold for money, how much you should pay is how much you want, and every penny is not short for everyone! Anyway, this is the cat winter, everyone helped build the house before the beginning of spring, and they can also have a benefit, right? I just ask for your bearing, this money will be in hand later, but it will never be a default! ”

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the yamen to inquire, this project is the responsibility of the construction department of the yamen. The steward of the guard is here today, too, and he is inside. In this matter, Zhao Xiucai has already signed a letter of guarantee. In Xia Bucai, together with several respected division commanders in our township, they jointly testified. So don't worry, everyone, all the famous scholars in our township can watch it! Can't you still believe in our character? ”

So many scholars worked together as a guarantee, and the people below were very convinced. Someone asked, "My relative's family is a carpenter, can I come to work?" ”

"Do you want a mason? Count me in! ”

"Then I won't do that, can I come and help with a small job, moving bricks and soil?"

"Welcome!" Li Hongwen pointed down, "All of them can sign up below!" But if you really come, you can't just talk about it! ”

Some young people were embarrassed, "Then I don't want your money, and I won't be charged for schooling?" ”

"Okay!" Li Hongwen generously promised, "Anyone who works without receiving money can be converted into tuition fees, which can be used for your own or your own children to go to school." Yes! Another point, if you want to send your daughter to be literate, you can also do it. There is also a special place in the school to accept female students! ”

When I heard this, there were really a lot of people who came to sign up.

Zhao Chengcai whispered to Zhang Qingting behind him and smiled, "Steward Fang Caiwei is still saying that according to this method, there is no need to levy labor, and it is enough to directly use these people to work!" But let's prepare a few people when we arrive, manage two meals, it's not too good, just have steamed bread and gruel! The cost of this food can also be deducted from the salary. I think in our shop, the charcoal is all ready-made, and the family can help with it, which saves a lot of money. ”

Zhang Qingting was more concerned with an important question, "What about those masonry, wood, and paint?" Will anyone be willing to supply? ”

"Put a hundred and twenty hearts!" Zhao Chengcai quietly pulled her away, whispered in her ear, "There is oil and water in this matter, I am in charge of the health steward, and we are only responsible for inspecting the goods and paying." Don't feel distressed, he has a wide range of channels in this regard, and immediately found those big workshop owners who specialize in building houses for the government and large families, and the price is all bottomed, and I can see it in the tax declaration documents in the government. So he would never dare to deceive us. There must be a little bit of money for those merchants, but it is definitely guaranteed to be cheaper than the ones we buy ourselves on the market. As for who he handed over to do it, and how much benefit he would take in it, we just have to ask. In addition, when he heard me say this, he also quietly agreed to get us the lowest wage in the government, and we don't have to give him any more thank-you gifts afterwards. After all, we don't suffer at all! ”

Zhang Qingting nodded, this important person must give benefits. It is indeed impossible for them to be so comprehensive. The health steward is old, and there are many places for him to contribute to the construction at the back, and he has no money to reward him anyway, so it is better to give others a chance to fish for outside the water, and he will be able to do it.

The collapse of Weizhai last time gave Zhang Qingting a big lesson, that is, one person makes money, it is better to let all the people who follow you make money, so that everyone can really die for you. If you alone have attained the Tao, chickens and dogs can't ascend to heaven, so there must be a fire in the backyard.

She also thought of one, "Then this time so many scholars have helped us to make a guarantee, do you want to give them a thank you gift?" ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded, "This is a must, but don't do it now, wait until the house is built!" ”

They were muttering here when they heard a gong in the street, "Evade! Evade! ”

It was the county magistrate who came over in an official sedan chair. The people on both sides hula dodged away and made their debut.

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain, "Lord Lou." How did you come here in person? ”

Lord Lou laughed and said, "Can I not come?" You're making such a big fuss here, and it's not like a thing if I don't come! ”

Li Hongwen saw it upstairs as early as possible, and hurriedly greeted him with several old talents.

Li Hongwen is very clever, as soon as he sees this style, he has to give his parents a chance to get close to the people and show off, and he rushed to say in a loud voice, "Fathers and fellow villagers, Lord Lou has something to say to everyone!" ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant also had a strong eye, so he quickly ordered the guy to move a few short tables to fight, and soon set up a podium for the county master.

Seeing that the county magistrate came out in person, the people around him were all in a sensation, and all the families crowded over to listen to what the parents and officials had to say.

Lou Zhixian was very satisfied, climbed the high platform, and first put his hands together, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official is here to greet everyone for the New Year!" Happy New Year, everyone! ”

"Happy New Year, Lord Lou!" A group of showmen led the way and led the people to echo together.

Hundreds of people shouted out in unison, but the momentum was overwhelming! Lou Zhi County has been an official for so many years, and he has never been in close contact with so many people at the same time, seeing so many people saying hello to him at the same time, it doesn't matter if he is sincere. But at that time, I was excited, and the sense of accomplishment of being an official came spontaneously.

"You folks already know that. We're going to build a new school here! To build a school? This truth has only been told to everyone by a few talents. ”

"This official has been an official here for many years, and there is always a big regret! It's that our Zaranburg has never produced a student nominated for the gold list! Not to mention the top three in high school, there is not even a lifter! This is not only a shame for the officials, but also a shame for the entire Zaranburg people! ”

"Is it true that our people here are inherently inferior? Definitely! Could it be that we are too poor here to read? It's even more ridiculous! Although our Zalan pot is not called the hometown of great wealth, it is still much stronger than many poor and remote areas in the country. So we can't produce students who can win glory for the whole township? It's all because we don't have a good school here, a good teacher! It seems that if you want to be motivated, you have to leave your hometown and go to the county capital to study! If this is passed down from generation to generation, then we will never have the day to come out in Zaranburg! ”

"The official was deeply disturbed in his heart, and often wanted to do something about it. Although this Zhao Xiucai is young. The family is not rich, but it is rare to have ideas, he is also a scholar, well aware of the difficulties of local education, so he suggested to the official to open a school, and is willing to give up the place to buy at home, even if the family changes dramatically, he will not change, this kind of feelings really moved the official, and made the official happy! ”

"Look, these are all our Zaranburg scholars, who are gathered here today, willing to stake a reputation that is more precious than their own lives to protect this school, what is the picture? The picture is not famous, not profit, it is the prosperity of our water and soil in the future, and the picture is the talent of our descendants! ”

These words lifted this group of scholars to the sky. Even the Zhang family thinks that the brother-in-law is among them, and he has more face!

"The official hereby announces to everyone that if he or is willing to send his children to school, the government will subsidize each student with a monthly subsidy of paper, pen and ink! If you have good grades, you will be rewarded with extra rewards! After the quarterly assessment, it will be announced outside the alley! If in the future, if we have talents, people, jinshi and even champions here, our government will have a heavy reward! ”

"Good!" This time, there is no need for the talents to take the lead, all the people spontaneously applaud!

The talents took the lead in saluting again, "Thank you, Lord Lou!" ”

Seeing that a large number of people saluted to him, Lou Zhixian's heart was infinitely proud and moved, this is a good official who does things for the people!

His emotions were also aroused, and he immediately returned to the restaurant, and discussed with a few Xiucai about inviting them to teach.

In this situation, what else is there to say? They all agreed, and even Li Hongwen decided not to go to the capital and stay locally. If you want to go to school again, you can go to the county and listen to the big lectures.

Lou Zhixian nodded in approval, and added another article, if there is a show in the future, he is willing to stay in the local area to teach. The government funded them to send them to the county school for further study.

"As for the finished material!" Lou Zhixian also found him a good errand, "You are practical and steady, Li Xian's nephew is quick to think, I see that the two of you complement each other well, it is better to hire the two of you to be a steward in this school in the future, take care of the teachers and teachers to pick up and teach, arrange class schedules, and take care of student enrollment and other chores." You two are so young, you should do more, what do you think? ”

That's good! The group of old scholars were happy, as long as they came to class, they would get money, and there were usually two more young people to support them, so they didn't have to go to the county master for everything.

Zhao Chengcai and Li Hongwen also felt quite honored, which was equivalent to the first principal of the new school. Li Hongwen is so happy to love face, but Zhao Chengcai is happy, don't worry about Master Chen coming back unemployed.

Lou Zhixian said that he was very up, and sent someone to summon the relevant persons in charge of the yamen, and held a meeting here. The main meaning is one, that is, we must work together, be sure to take the matter of building the school as the most important work at present, and work together to build it in the fastest time!

He is about to leave office, of course, let the people of Zaranburg remember that it was him, Lou someone, who built the school here, and this credit cannot be recorded on others!

The officials opened their mouths, and all the things they did took active action.

At the door, there are more and more villagers who have come to sign up for work after hearing the news. Some people also said that they still have some trees and stones at home, and they are willing to send them to donate to build a school. Even if you don't give it, you're willing to help for nothing.

Li Hongwen is so fine! As soon as he saw this situation, he immediately found someone to go back and invited his father, contacted several wealthy people who knew each other, and took the lead in expressing his willingness to donate money to build the school.

Zhao Chengcai was overjoyed when he heard this, with so many people helping, wouldn't his own alley also follow?

Lou Zhixian was even happier and set up a special donation office to record these lists.

An old Xiucai proposed that he could learn from the temple, and then set up a stone tablet with the list of donors and engrave it on the courtyard wall of the school. If you have more money, you can keep it as a scholarship.

What a great idea! Zhao Chengcai proposed that if the family is really difficult and poor, as long as he is willing, he can also apply to participate in a period of free study.

At this time, there were errand servants outside, and many people wanted to sign up for themselves or their children. With so many people, I'm afraid this classroom won't be enough.

It's easy! Build two floors!

Lou Zhixian waved his hand, "If you want to build it, you will build a three-story building, so that the people and people who come to us can see it at a glance, and the best thing we have here is the school!" ”

Anyway, someone funded it, and he didn't care about the cost, he just wanted to do it beautifully!

The health manager was busy changing the drawings again, and the on-site meeting was held until almost the second watch. Everyone is still in high spirits, and the mood is still unfinished.

Before leaving, Lou Zhixian was very happy to pull Zhao Chengcai to the side and stretched out a thumbs up, "Chengcai, you think about this well, you do it so beautifully!" ”

"It's all thanks to your lordship!" After Zhao Chengcai modestly sent off Lord Lou, he also went home diligently, but unexpectedly, the whole family didn't sleep, and was waiting for him with bright lights!

Seeing Miss Zhang's little face gloomy, Zhao Chengcai wondered, what did I do wrong again?

(PS: It's almost the end of the month, Guiren shows his true body, rolling around begging for pink, begging for a reward!) Next month's pink relatives will keep it for Xiaoqingting! ）
