It was not difficult to move from the Shang family to the Lin Mansion, when they left, there were many things that they did not bring with them, and there were subordinates there, and the two families were not very far away, Lin Qingwan just pulled the old lady Shang and the second wife to the Lin Mansion, and the people below had their own people to do.

Lin Yubin and Shang Danzhu sisters came to the gate to greet them, and the three of them were a little surprised, why did the old lady and the second wife also move over?

Lin Qingwan smiled and sent everyone back to their courtyard, rested for a while, and invited everyone to the garden to play in the afternoon.

People will only think crankily when they are idle, so she handed over all the feeds to Lin Yubin, and asked her to go to the old lady for advice regardless of whether she understood it or not.

"Find out four or five things to ask every day, and then talk about it when the old lady's heart is settled," Lin Qingwan smiled at her: "In the future, your family will live here, and there is only so much that my aunt can do, and you will need to live the future by yourself." ”

Lin Yubin knew her aunt's concerns, leaned her head on her head and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I understand everything." ”

Lin Qingwan patted her on the head, "Good boy." ”

Lin Qingwan also lived in the Lin Mansion, but her focus shifted to the Seeking Knowledge Garden, and Mingjie studied with her.

In fact, the main thing is to learn her ideas and concepts.

"The Quest for Knowledge is different from ordinary academies, and the foundation is still too shallow, so each class has to be counted and then charged separately, but I envision that in the future, I can regularly hire some gentlemen to teach here, and the courses set up are no longer charged for the course, but for one subject."

Lin Qingwan handed the plan she wrote to Shang Mingjie and said, "Actually, in the future, its development will be similar to that of Guozixue, but the Seeking Knowledge Garden will be more free." ”

Shang Mingjie swept through the ten lines at a glance, and found that the current lecture system would be retained in the future, so he was relieved, "Although the lecture method is a little mixed now, it is very important for students who cannot enter the school. ”

Lin Qingwan bowed her head and said: "Yes, in the future, the admission of students in the Knowledge Garden will also have to take the exam, and there will definitely be many people who will not be able to get in, so the current way of opening classes is the most beneficial for this part of the people." However, it is clear that we cannot afford to waste resources in this way, so this way of starting classes can be retained, but it should be greatly reduced. ”

This means that in the future, the Seeking Knowledge Academy will become an independent college, and students who want to come in will have to take exams, and then, like most colleges, will be bound to pay on an annual basis.

But at the same time, Lin Qingwan will also retain the system that Mr. now opens free courses, and students from outside the school can enter the class to listen to the class, whether it is free or charged, in short, this channel is retained.

At least enough courses should be offered every year, which can be regarded as a support for students outside the school.

Moreover, the courses offered by the Quest for Knowledge are not just so-called cultural courses, most of them are handicraft subjects, and they are not admitted if they are good at studying.

Although Shang Mingjie was a little surprised, he could understand it, after all, Aunt Lin was the one who taught ordinary people how to make tofu and straw paper.

"Mr. Yao has experience, if you don't understand something, you can ask him," Lin Qingwan said: "I am not familiar with running a school, and I can only give you my ideas, as long as you do not deviate from these rules I have set in the future, you can toss as you like." ”

"Yes." Shang Mingjie accepted the things, and was about to retreat and hesitated and asked, "Auntie, grandmother said that you want to leave the relationship and let me go out?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Qingwan blinked, oh, wasn't that what she said to coax Old Madam Shang?

She smiled quietly and asked, "What, you have the place you want?" ”

Shang Mingjie said: "Auntie, I don't want to be a leader." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Why is this, you are also a jinshi, so you don't want to make contributions?" ”

"I know that my aunt is for my good, but because of my father, it is obviously impossible for me to serve in Beijing, and it is impossible for me to stay in Jiangnan, so I will have to rotate around after I go out, but my grandmother is old, and my cousin will probably stay and take care of them, I, what's the point of me being an official alone?"

Shang Mingjie has never been an ambitious person, and in his opinion, it is good for the family to live happily.

Since he can live a comfortable life as a family now, why should he be separated from his husband and wife for that little bit of power?

Lin Qingwan smiled and nodded, "If you don't want to, then forget it, it's just the old lady's ......."

"Let's hide it for the time being," Shang Mingjie said, "When the old lady asks, I'll explain to her." ”

By then, he should have made some progress on his side, and he could better convince her.

Lin Qingwan nodded in response, originally she didn't want Shang Mingjie to go to the office again.

The two reached an agreement and began to get busy, and it was almost the New Year, whether it was the Reading Building, the Wenyuan or the Seeking Knowledge Garden, and students from all over the world began to leave Suzhou to go home for the New Year.

In addition to some students who still insist on going to the reading building to read books and copy books, or go to the knowledge garden to listen to classes, most people choose to hide in the bed, or call two or three friends to brag around the stove.

Shang Mingjie didn't have this kung fu, he had to invite Mr., like Mr. who taught Chinese studies courses, it was easy to please, others didn't say it, and the students who stayed here with Yao Shi were not old or young.

They can also teach agriculture, arithmetic, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It is difficult to invite the bookkeeper and various craftsmen.

Yao Shi and they all have to plan and settle accounts, but to teach students, that knowledge is a bit enough, so they still have to ask a special account room to teach.

Other craftsmen are difficult to invite because of the courses set up by the Seeking Knowledge Garden, and there are many students to be taught in each subject, although they give a lot of restraints, but they can teach a batch in three years, and after more than ten years, there are more people who learn, and they can't take over the work, and then there are no students to learn, there is no restraint to be around, how do they live?

So although some people are tempted, they still easily refuse to break the rules.

Lin Qingwan didn't care about it at all, and let him deal with it himself.

Shang Mingjie ran into a wall a few times, and he didn't know how to do it, anyway, he invited a few craftsmen, which opened up the situation.

Then he began to promote the Seeking Knowledge Garden and began to recruit students.

Lin Qingwan saw that he was finally on track, so she no longer cared about it, but began to focus on her own business.

After the autumn harvest, the grain began to be stored one after another, this year's Jiangnan climate is good, God is very appreciative, but this year is also her most stingy year.

After the autumn harvest, not a single grain of grain was sold, and most of the grain from the summer harvest was retained.

Now that some families have figured out the rules, they just stared at Lin Qingwan, and when they saw her storing food, they knew that most of the things had happened, so they also followed the grain storage.

This made the grain prices that must fall in autumn and winter unprecedentedly not fall, but rose a little bit, at least this is the case in Jiangnan, so this year's farmers in Jiangnan made a small profit, plus after the autumn harvest, everyone began to soak beans to make tofu, and soak straw to make straw, and life is more relaxed.

But the Northeast Army in northern Xinjiang had a hard time.

The fourth prince wrote to say that because of the catastrophe on the grassland last winter and this spring, the Liao people have been ready to move, and the weather on the grassland after the winter this year is not good.

Not only did the Liao people privately go south to fight the grass valley, but there were also signs that the Liao army was gradually assembling towards the border, and since the beginning of winter, there have been no less than ten attacks of more than 500 people.

This year, I am afraid that a big war with the Liao State will be inevitable, so their relationship with the Chu State must be even better.

The fourth prince also asked Lin Qingwan to help persuade Zhong Ruying, so that she had nothing to do recently to provoke the Chu State, and if she really wanted to fight with the Liao State, what if the Chu State found an excuse to rob while it was hot?

Lin Qingwan felt that it was very reasonable, and was about to write a letter to Zhong Ruying, when Yi Han came in from outside, holding a pigeon in his hand.

"Auntie, it's an urgent letter from Lord Zhong."

The pigeon was painted with red marks on its legs, indicating that it was a matter of urgency, Yi Han untied the letter and handed it to Lin Qingwan, which needed to be opened by her personally.

Lin Qingwan was startled, and hurriedly pulled out the letterbox with a knife, pulled out the ribbon inside, and unfolded it to see, her hands trembled.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qingwan rubbed the ribbon and said with a calm face: "Xishu attacks Chu." ”

Yi Han was overjoyed, "This is a good thing!" ”

Lin Qingwan continued: "Sister Zhong didn't hold back, and she also sent troops to Chu. ”

Yi Han: "......"

He and Lin Qingwan looked at each other for a moment before asking, "So what does Lord Zhong mean?" ”

"She also knew she was in trouble, so she came to me and asked me if I could protect her if she rushed to the end."

"But aunt, the Liao country is also eyeing it, one is not good, this will destroy the country."

"Of course I know, but it's too late to stop her by letter," Lin Qingwan said: "She is never a hesitant person, even if she is wrong, she will be wrong." ”

"This ......"

"And, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic."

Yi Han felt a little black in front of him, he knew that this was not a peaceful and prosperous era, but Jiangnan had always been peaceful, should there suddenly be such a chaotic rhythm in the world?

He settled down before asking, "Why did Xishu attack Chu?" ”

"I don't know," Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and said: "I didn't say it in the letter, but the contradiction between Xishu and Chu has been a long time, and the reason why Chu is so quiet this year is not because of Xishu?" ”

But it was too sudden.

Lin Qingwan also felt that it was very sudden, thought about it, got up and said, "Let's go, go to Wenyuan, I want to see Mr. Yao." ”

"But it's getting dark."

"The gates are not closed, let's hurry." Lin Qingwan was worried that if this was the bitter ploy of Xishu and Chu, then Daliang would be really dangerous.

Don't blame her for opening her brain, anything is possible in this world.

Yi Han hurriedly went to prepare the carriage, and the movement here quickly alarmed the rest of the family.

Lin Yubin came first, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Qingwan patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll go to Mr. Yao to talk about something, you go back and rest." ”

Old Madam Shang also sent someone to ask, and Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "I went out for some things, and I won't come back at night." ”

After a pause, he said: "If Mingjie comes back, let him go to the other courtyard to find me tomorrow, I have something to explain to him." ”

Lin Yubin should get off and send Lin Qingwan to the car.

Seeing her frowning, Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "It's because the border is unstable, I'll go to Mr. Yao to ask for advice, don't worry." ”

Lin Yubin frowned and said, "Auntie also has to take care of her body." ”

"Don't worry."
