Chapter 533: The Fire Rises

The people of Xiatangji don't care about the affairs of the court, they only recognize one thing, that is, Prime Minister Zhou told the old man that he would come to Xiatangji to open a academy, even if the academy was built in Qingnan Village, it also belonged to Xiatangji.

In the end, the academy is different from ordinary schools, and they don't care about the people in Xiatangji, they only know that this prime minister stayed in Qingnan Village for six years a few years ago and taught four jinshi - they insisted that Li Changfeng was also counted on the head of Master Zhou.

As a result, Qingshan Academy has become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Xiatang recently.

The people of Qingnan Village are even more happy. Because Li Gengtian took the selected strong men to the Qinghui River to work on the project, the rest of them widened many roads in the village under the convening of Zhang Huai and others, repaired the banks of the Xiaoqing River, and repaired the courtyard walls and houses of each family. For a time, on a cold and windy winter day, Qingnan Village presented a neat and prosperous scene.

Zhang Huai had already received Zhang Yang's instructions, and it was just further confirmation at this time. He discussed with Li Gengtian, Mr. Zhou (Mr. Zhou's nephew, hereinafter referred to as Mr. Zhou in order to distinguish him) and others, raised money and built roads, and only waited for Mr. Zhou to come, determined the location of the academy, and started work.

Because of Zhang Yang's advice, and Li Gengtian and others all knew Zhou Fuzi's style of acting - that was not publicized, so they were ready to pool some money, choose a good place, and build more blue brick houses, so that Master could have a quiet and elegant place to teach and teach his apprentices.

As a result, things got bigger, Yuan Xianling and Zhang Yang both came with the news, and the old Master Ding, who told the old man at the same time as the master, went to Linhuzhou to open the academy with his protégé, and also released a word, saying that he would compete with Master Zhou, and the academy would compete in the future.

The famous scholars, scholars, and students who retired from all over the country also rushed to Huzhou and Linhuzhou, some to study knowledge, and some to study.

Zhang Yang told Zhang Huai. He was asked to unite with the wealthy households in Xiatangji to raise funds, but there was no need to compare with others, except for the library building to be built solidly and strongly, the rest were still simple and applicable. The reputation of the college depends on the professors, the future achievements of the students, and the atmosphere of teaching.

When Zhang Huai and Aoki discussed this matter at night, Chrysanthemum heard it, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said in her heart, those tricky donation methods and hype methods in the previous life can be borrowed, so. I talked to Huaizi and Aoki like this.

So, after Huaizi drafted a statement and consulted Zhang Yang's opinion, a message came out from Xiatangji the next day: Qingshan Academy raised funds for the people of Xiatangji, and those who paid for it were listed according to each village, and their names were engraved on stone slabs and erected at the entrance of the academy for people to see.

There are also rules for this donation. The maximum shall not exceed two thousand taels, and the minimum shall be ten cents, which is a wish of the local people. Outsiders don't want to donate if they want to, unless they donate books, pens, ink, and paper, which is counted separately.

The word spread, and those who donated money went crazy.

If you have a rich person, you can only donate two thousand taels at most, and there is no way; Medium-sized families also donate 2,000 to raise money; The poor people don't know how many to hundreds of taels, which fully demonstrates the development strength of Xiatangji in recent years; In the villages, the farmers killed pigs and sold chickens to make money, and there were one or two and 500 yuan, but there was no family who only donated 10 yuan.

Of course. It's not that everyone has money, so in the past two days, there has been such a phenomenon at the fair: anyone who said that he sold chickens and grain to raise money to donate money to build a academy, that thing was quickly bought, and no one bargained at all.

An old woman carried a basket of eggs, asked people to buy them all, and only made up 200 yuan, and said with a bitter face: "Why are you embarrassed to scoop it out?" ”

There are two grandchildren in her family. There was nothing else of value to sell, but she just wanted to engrave her grandson's name on the entrance of the academy.

People laughed, and the shopkeeper who was close to the shop couldn't bear it, so he gave her 300 Wen, so that she Ming'er had time to help her make a pair of shoes and send them, which was considered compensation.

The old man took the money and went happily.

In this way, in only three or four days, he obtained more than 100,000 taels of silver, and the roster recorded a thick book, and the hand-printed receipts were bound in several copies. There are more than 10,000 taels in Qingnan Village alone, and even the Wu family and the Wang family, two tenants belonging to the Zhang family, each donated 100 taels of silver.

Then, Zhang Huai and others copied another roster and sent it to Yuan County. The county magistrate wrote a notebook, together with this list of books to the imperial court, respectfully invited the emperor to read the royal court, and to remember the heart of the people under the rule of the fist to the sacred, if you can get lucky, the emperor for the academy to inscribe a plaque, "so that the students can look up to the Son of Heaven Mobao, the people can also have honor."

Everything that happened in Xiatangji, naturally someone reported to the emperor, knowing that this was not a fake, but a real reaction of the people, as soon as he was happy, he inscribed the plaque of "Qingshan Academy", and gave 20,000 taels of silver, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to arrange people to go south to help the old prime minister build the academy.

Master Sun, who was still on the way, heard this letter, and was half angry, he didn't worry about money at all, but Xiatangji's move made him fall again.

Master Zhou was very proud: if there is something, the disciple will obey him. Even if he only taught Aoki and Zhang Huai for two years, the other babies in Qingnan Village did not achieve fame, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

The affairs of the court, the outside affairs do not need to be said, anyway, it has little to do with the common people, only to say that every household in Qingnan Village, look at the Layue, it is still busy, and the Zhang family and the Zheng family are very busy than others.

Because of the repair of the Qinghui River, many people were taken away from the tenants, which made the manpower extremely tight.

There has been no rain for many days, and although the dry and cold winter days are annoying, it is a good season to pickle all kinds of cured meat and pickled vegetables, so the pigs raised by the Zhang family scattered in the tenant households are slaughtered in large quantities, and the chickens are also slaughtered in large quantities. Heipi helped supervise everywhere, and Chrysanthemum personally went to the workshop to guide and inspect the production of sausage bacon.

Because Mr. Zhou has been busy recently, the children's homework has also been affected, and Chestnut and Hulu and others followed their respective fathers and mothers to go in and out of the workshop to learn some business.

On the fifth day of December, the weather was fine, but the cold wind soaked into the bones, and as soon as he left the place where the sun was shining, he reached the shade, and the cold air went straight to his body, and he did not put his clothes in his eyes.

After Huaizi arranged Liu Heizi, Wu Cheng, Wang Zhong and others to protect and raise the forest, he hurriedly took Heipi to the set.

He, Li Changyu and others were kept by Yuan County's order, and they chatted for a long time, and they didn't finish dinner; Heipi went back and forth about the delivery of fungus, indicating that there were still 3,000 catties to be shipped; Yuan Xianling also said that he would go to Qingnan Village early tomorrow morning to inspect the repair of the road, and everything was blocked together, so he would not go back, and Fang Jingyu left him to talk again, until Fang went to Shanyezhai to rest.

It was night, the north wind roared, blowing frightened people, Huaizi soaked his feet hotly and fell asleep, but his heart was not steady, thinking about coming out, he told Chrysanthemum to rush home as much as possible, but he didn't go back, Chrysanthemum was afraid that he would have to wait for him. He smiled and thought that he was a big man, but he missed his family so much, and he was always not used to living outside, and he was afraid that people would laugh at him when he said it.

Just closed his eyes for a while, but he heard a knock on the door, hurried and panicked, and then heard Heipi shouting: "Master, master!" Get up! The voice trembled, with extreme fear.

Huaizi sat up suddenly, and without asking why, she quickly got up and dressed, and shouted loudly, "Just come." ”

He knew that if it weren't for something very big, Blackskin wouldn't have called him that in the middle of the night.

He dressed in the dark, almost even wore cotton boots backwards, hurriedly tied his shoes, opened the door and rushed out, but saw that it was not so dark outside the door, faintly revealing some light, his heart was strange, and he didn't have time to think about it, and asked Heipi: "What's the matter?" ”

The black skin pulled him out of the gate, came to the courtyard, pointed to the sky, and shouted, "Look, sir——"

Huaizi turned his head, only to see that under the dark night, the northwest sky was full of red light, like the sunset at sunset, but there were bursts of smoke in front of the glow, ghostly and enchanting, he asked in a trembling voice: "What is that?" ”

Before the words fell, a junior from Shanye Zhai stumbled in from the front yard and shouted, "Steward Liu, it's Xiaoqingshan that is on fire." Fast...... Call the master! "It was the black skin who asked him to go out and check it out.

Huaizi was frightened and shouted wildly: "Lead the horse." He shouted at the little two again, "Call everyone up, go to the market to call Li Changyu and Liu Sanshun, and then ask Master Fang and the county commander to transfer people to put out the fire." ”

After speaking, he said to Heipi: "Go!" ”

Shan Yezhai suddenly became chaotic, shouting and cheering constantly, and the little two opened and closed the door, in and out, and ran to tell each other. Huaizi had no time to take care of it, he and Heipi got on the horse, galloped wildly, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves hit the street of Xiatangji like a drum, and it was particularly frightened and piercing in the silent night, waking up a group of people.

Out of the lower pond, on the road between the fields, there are no dense dwellings and heavy courtyards to block, the fire on the side of the mountain is unobstructed, burning half of the sky, looking from afar, like a fire phoenix rising in the sky, flying in the cold wind.

Huaizi's heart sank to the bottom, and the ominous premonition in his heart became heavier and heavier, although he was still far away, he seemed to hear the people of Qingnan Village running and snoring, crying, and asking for help.

Where did this catch fire?

He refused to think that this was the Oak Garden and the Bamboo Garden, or any of the Zhang's mountain forests that caught fire.

But he was destined to be disappointed, ten miles away, so galloping on horseback, turning quickly, almost to the entrance of Qingnan Village, he looked at the direction of the fire, already desperate, suddenly tears flowed, and whipped at the horse's buttocks: "Drive! "Crashed headlong into the village.

Blackskin was young and cried, "It's Oak Garden!" It's the oak garden that's burning! Daddy—"

The village was not calm at this time, and the dogs in every family barked wildly, but the people who had been tired for days were not alert, and even heard a scolding from someone's window: "Call your mother!" The thief did not enter the door, and it was so noisy that people could not sleep. ”

Huaizi suppressed the fear in her heart, let go of her voice and shouted, "Get up!" Get up! There's a fire on the mountain! Started—fire—"

The high-pitched and mournful voice hovered in the sky, clearly reaching every house in the dreary silence of the night, waking people up from their sleep.
