Chapter 63: Library of Hope

After lunch, several people took Zhang Xianling to the door of the newly built school in the village.

Looking at the words 'Hope Primary School' on the gate of the school, Zhang Xianling didn't look away for a long time, as if muttering to himself: "Hope Primary School 、、、、、 right, it is a place full of hope, easy to understand and has a good meaning, a good name!" ”

He came back to his senses: "Who took this name?" ”

Li Zheng replied: "This name was taken by the girl of the Han family who designed this school, and everyone sighed at that time that this meaning was excellent!" ”

Zhang Xianling looked at Han Qing on the other side: "Girl, you really amazed the official!" ”

Han Qing responded with a light smile, and Zhang Zixuan, who pulled her, said: "Qing'er, you are really amazing!" I heard that men and women of all ages can come to your school, is it true? ”

Han Qing replied: "Yes, as long as you want to learn literacy, you can come to enroll, but in the early days, they all started from the initiation class, and there was no class." These problems still have to be adjusted in the later stage! ”

Zhang Zixuan: "But no matter how good a woman is in her studies, she can't be admitted to the office, it's a pity!"

Han Qing: "To read and write, you don't necessarily have to test for fame." Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, and the road of life is not only the imperial examination. For example, if the village girl comes to school to learn to read and write, she will use it no matter where she goes in the future, for example, the aunt in the village goes to the county seat to sell embroidery work, and no longer needs to be helped by others to sign her name and receive her salary. The unmarried girl will lay the foundation now, and if she wants to do a small business or something in the future, she can also be completely competent by herself, and if the business becomes bigger, she must be literate and know how to settle accounts. Of course, these are only the aspects closest to life, reading can also cultivate self-cultivation, as the so-called 'belly has poetry and books from China', reading more is definitely beneficial and harmless! ”

"What a 'belly with poetry and books'! This official has been studying for decades, but he is not as transparent as a girl! Think about how many students fall to Sun Mountain every year, can't stand the blow, and there are not a few people who can't afford to get sick or die of depression, thinking about it this way, these people are not transparent enough! ”

"Yes, Miss Qing'er is right, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, reading should be to improve self-cultivation, no matter how bad it is, it can also facilitate life, but most people regard reading as the only bargaining chip in life!" Zhang Zichen followed his father with emotion.

Zhang Xianling looked at Han Qing with some excitement: Is this really a teenage girl? Why is she so detached as if she has looked down on everything?

Han Qing was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and remembered the shortage of books in the school: "Lord County Order, please ask Lord County Order to help me if there is a matter!" ”

Zhang Xianling was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

Han Qing: "When our school was first built to benefit the neighbors of the village, we found that there were many problems after it was built. For example, most of the children in the village don't have a book of their own. Although I can donate silver taels to help everyone get rid of illiteracy, this is not a long-term solution after all. Ordinary people simply can't afford to buy too many books, and these children want to increase their knowledge by reading constantly. And there are many well-off families in the county, and some of the young masters and ladies of some families no longer read the books they have read. The difference between the rich and the poor is immediate, but there are not a few villages like our welcome village that are not in sufficient conditions. Why not let the county order adults to come forward and set up a recycling agency, so that some people can donate the surplus idle books at home or directly buy them at a low price, and then register them uniformly, while people in some remote villages can borrow books at their homes, give a certain deposit and take them home, and send them back after reading them to confirm that the books are not damaged and return the money. In this way, children in remote mountainous areas can also learn new knowledge! ”

Zhang Xianling nodded immediately after hearing this: "Girl, this is a good idea!" So that everyone in the whole county can benefit! These children will be the hope of the county in the future!" After thinking about it, he frowned and said: "But in this case, the population of the county is large, and people who borrow books come and go frequently, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work. ”

Han Qing thought about it seriously: "You can ask a representative from each village to borrow books, count the books to be borrowed in advance and then report them, if there are books that are not available for the time being, wait for the next time to see them." And these books can be charged a little rent, for example, a book is ten wen a month, and renting a hundred copies is one or two silver, so that the small amount becomes a lot, and the salary of the management personnel is only a lot more, and the extra money can be used as the next batch of funds for the recovery of books. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xianling thought carefully for a while, and felt that this matter was feasible: "Girl, your brain is turning fast, and this matter for the benefit of the whole county cannot be delayed!" ”、

Han Qing thought that funds would definitely be needed in the early stage of implementation, and looking at Zhang County's order, he was like a good parent official, and it was impossible for his family to pay out of his own pocket.

"Lord County Order, if you want this matter to last for a long time, the upfront cost of this site selection and decoration is not small. For the problem of the early funds, a notice can be posted at the entrance of the county office, and everyone can donate freely according to their ability, and if the donor reaches a certain amount, the future borrowing fee can be waived. In this way, everyone will also be more active, work together to get together, and gather less to become more! ”

Zhang Xianling was thinking about whether it was possible to report the funds in the early stage to the imperial court, and thought that even if the imperial court really pulled out the silver, he didn't know when it happened, and when he heard Han Qing say this, this problem was solved in this way! "Girl! You can give it a try! ”

After hearing this, Han Qing immediately said: "Lord County Order! I am willing to take the lead in donating 100 taels as the start-up capital for this hope project! ”

Everyone in the village was shocked: how much money is this, and a random donation is another hundred taels!

Zhang Xianling was also slightly surprised: "Girl, you donated one hundred taels to this school, I heard that your family couldn't open the pot a few months ago, you can donate less、、、、、"

Han Qing was a little surprised by the integrity of Zhang's county order, if other county orders were to hope that they would donate as much as possible, and use other people's money to earn merit for themselves, no one would think that this money was too much!

But Zhang County's order is that Han Qing donated too much!

Han Qing immediately thought again: Isn't it because I feel that this county order is upright, so I am willing to give back this money to the society!

If you are a corrupt and stupid official, you won't bird him!

"Lord County Order, thank you for thinking about the family, of course, we must fully support such things that benefit the whole county! Silver money can be earned again, but this thing for the benefit of the hometown is not every day, and it is an honor for the love child to do his best to contribute! ”

Zhang Xianling nodded excitedly: "When I was young, I thought that only by being an official could I seek the well-being of the people, and I tried my best to become an official, but today's girl's move woke me up, as long as there are people in my heart, no matter when and where I am in which position, I can do my part!" ”

The village chief agreed: "The girl's contribution to the village is not light, I used to think that only men can bear the burden, but now it seems that as long as there is a will in the heart, the daughter may not be impossible!" ”

Li Zheng also sighed with emotion: "Girl! Well done! ”

Han Qing is embarrassed, in modern times, there are institutions calling for everyone to donate, usually donate, but I didn't expect that I would move this set to this ancient time and space to make a few people so excited!

In fact, one hundred taels is also his own dividends in Xiangmanlou for a few days, hehe, it doesn't seem to be much!

Zhang Zixuan suddenly pulled Zhang Xianling's arm: "Daddy, my daughter will no longer buy clothes and accessories this month, I will donate all my expenses this month, okay?" ”

When Zhang Xianling heard this, he felt that his daughter had grown up: "Of course it's good!" Xuan'er has a heart, it's up to you! ”

Zhang Zixuan said happily: "Thank you, Daddy!" ”

Zhang Zichen was not far behind: "I donated all the books I don't read!" ”

Xiang'er said to Zhang County: "Lord County, Xiang'er can be a volunteer!" ”

Zhang Xianling was puzzled: "Volunteers? ”

Xiang'er explained: "Volunteers are free to go there to help or something, Xiang'er can help clean or something, and you can also run errands!" ”

Cao'er echoed: "Cao'er is going too, Cao'er is sweeping the floor!"

Zhang Xianling looked at this cute little girl and sighed: "You are all good!"

Over the next few days, everyone was busy pushing forward with the project, which was named Project Hope.

There are not a few rich families in the county, and when I heard that a little girl from a remote mountain village had donated one hundred taels, I was not calm all of a sudden! I'll donate a hundred taels too!

When the rich young masters and ladies heard that the son and daughter of the county magistrate had donated all the money for their books and jewelry, they all ran home to flip through the books and sell the jewelry!

Those small shops on the street also wanted to win everyone's mouths of beer and donate some beer, but before they could donate money, the yamen issued a notice indicating that the money had been donated and there was no need to donate again!

The money donated by these big households has exceeded the planned amount, and Zhang Xianling looked at the more than two thousand taels counted and was a little confused: This is too much!

Originally, I wanted to set up a small photo gallery for borrowing books, so that the funds were sufficient, and Han Qing thought about it, it was better to build a bigger one directly and set up a special reading area!

A month later, not far to the east of the county gate, a majestic building was erected, which was unique in design and vast in size, surpassing any other building in the county. The lobby on the first floor has an exit on one side and an entrance on the other. The first floor is for ordinary literacy and academic books, while the second floor is mostly some small books, some magazines, etc., and the books on the third floor involve various civil encyclopedias such as agriculture, medicine, garden flowers, etc. And under each shelf of books on each floor, there is a row of small dwarfs for the use of people who read the books.

On the first floor, there are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other supplies for sale, and in a corner of the second floor, there are two large bathrooms for men and women, and there is also a small reading area, and the third floor is also of the same design, but the books are classified differently.

This place is named 'Hope Library'!

The rules of this hall are: Visitors are not allowed to bring food and food, they are not allowed to make loud noises when entering, and they must register and sign when entering and leaving the door.

The library applies for a membership card with the local household registration, and pays a deposit at the original price when borrowing books, and deducts a small fee according to the time when returning books. If the book is damaged, the original price will be compensated!

Since then, the designer of this museum has been known throughout the county! Welcome the girl who has been enlightened by the gods in the village~~~ Korean love is also!
