After breakfast, Zhou Jingqing was about to leave.

Wang moved a lot of her pickled vegetables to the carriage, and told a lot of words.

Although the Wang family doesn't always say anything they miss, the two sons are outside, and they are always reluctant to separate.

"I'll take Rui back in a few days." Zhou Jingqing said.

Wang rubbed his eyes, "This wind is weird, and it hurts my eyes." ”

After Wang finished speaking, he entered the courtyard first, looking at Wang's back, Ye Xi sighed.

"Brother-in-law, we'll wait for you to come back for the New Year." Ye Xinyao said with a smile.

Listening to Ye Xinyao calling her brother-in-law with a smile, Zhou Jingqing smiled and rubbed her head.

After saying a few goodbyes, Ye Xinyao also ran away, leaving Ye Xi and Zhou Jingqing to talk.

Zhou Jingqing reached out and hugged Ye Xi, "Take care of yourself." ”

"Let's go! If you are grinding, don't be able to reach the county seat at noon. Ye Xi smiled and whispered again, "I'll miss you." ”

"I'll miss you too." Zhou Jingqing's voice was very low, almost murmuring.

Seeing that his ears were red, Ye Xi smiled slightly.

It turns out that when such a big man is shy, he looks like this!

I thought it was very interesting.

Seeing Zhou Jingqing drive the carriage away, Ye Xi took some snacks and went to the village chief's house to discuss with the village chief about building a academy in the village.

"In the end, it's the daughter of the old man's family." The village chief smiled, "It's so for the sake of our village." ”

"I also think that there are so many children in the village, but when they should read and write, they are deserted, which is a pity. If you can read and write, even if you can't be an official, you can go out and do more. Ye Xi said seriously. If nothing else, those who are literate are less likely to be deceived when they go outside! ”

"That's right, it's just that there are very few people who used to think like this." The village chief sighed.

In Ye Xi's view, so many families in the village do not let their children study, mainly because of consciousness.

Otherwise, although the backer village is not rich, in fact, most people live a very good life.

It is also farming and silkworm raising, and the harvest in a year is quite a lot.

Many families will have some savings after eating and drinking for a year. It's just that many people think that instead of letting their children study, it is better to do something else with the money.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are two people in Yunshui Town, and many people have the intention of studying, there may be many people who are willing to enroll in the academy.

Seeing that the village chief agreed with her proposal, Ye Xi continued to talk about it, wanting some wasteland in the back mountain.

In fact, it is very good to have a lot of land in the mountains behind the mountain village, but because there are a lot of stones, many people are reluctant to reclaim it.

If it is reclaimed, it is still very beneficial. The imperial court encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, and the newly cultivated land was not taxed for the first three years.

She thought that she would reclaim some wasteland in the back mountains and plant mulberry trees, which would be regarded as the property of the academy in the future. When the harvest is available, it will be used for the expenses of the college.

"It's not easy to reclaim the back mountain, I can give you the place to open a academy, and no one in the village will say anything. But when it comes to reclamation, I don't know how many people are willing to help. The village chief sighed, "I can't force the villagers to help. ”

"The village chief will help me talk about it, and those who are willing to help will not only have wages and salaries, but also the first batch of children to go to school in the future."
